Hei Fengshen's infinite deduction to become a saint

Li Changshou's expression changed, and the primordial remnant image was already recorded in the long river of information on the Jade Disc of Creation.

Those are the shadows left in the world by an ancient, mysterious, and powerful being after its death.

These shadows are connected to the three thousand unorthodox paths these powerful figures took in their lifetimes.

Although he could only communicate with a portion of the power, it was still an irresistible force for a cultivator like him.

Once encountered, death is almost certain.

"Primordial remnants are usually only left behind after the death of beings at the Primordial Great Power level."

"Could it be that a powerful being perished on this island?"

He silently searched for information but found nothing; there was no record of Yingxian Island.

"The information I have is still limited; a comprehensive calculation is necessary."

Li Changshou stepped into Lanruo Cave, where there were stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds.

Various strange plants grow outside the cave, emitting a faint dark blue light, enveloping the entire area in a dark blue glow.

Li Changshou sat cross-legged, silently refining his strange aura.

He has only completed the first stage of the Nine Revolutions of Strange Qi. Only after completing the Nine Revolutions Refinement can he nourish his soul and condense his primordial spirit to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, just one realm away from becoming a True Immortal.

Thinking of the message from Tongtian Daoren, his eyes flickered, "A sermon in three days... could it be about the Investiture of the Gods?"

"We'll see when the time comes," he said, his expression shifting as he slowly closed his eyes.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, streaks of light from the East China Sea headed towards Golden Turtle Island.

Some rode on colorful dark clouds, some on rolling gloomy winds, some on a sky full of flames, and some even rode on flying swords with divine light, their tens of thousands of streaks of light creating a terrifying aura.

Li Changshou emerged from Lanruo Cave, his eyes widening in shock as he gazed at the sky filled with radiant light.

Among these tens of thousands of escape lights, some were incredibly powerful, while others were weak and even inferior to his.

He also activated his escape light and merged into it, falling into the sea area surrounding Golden Turtle Island along with this torrent.

Figures sat cross-legged on the sea, some on clouds, some on flying swords, and some on mounts, each displaying their unique abilities and supernatural powers.

Li Changshou didn't have many magical techniques, so at this moment he could only stand on the sea surface, rising and falling with the waves.

Looking around at the unfathomable experts of the Jie Sect, he couldn't help but feel envious.

"These spells, supernatural powers, magical artifacts, and magical treasures are truly enviable."

Thinking of the Jade Disc of Creation in his mind, that little bit of envy instantly disappeared.

"I possess the Jade Disc of Creation, which grants me limitless possibilities. There's no need to envy them."

Suddenly, a magnificent aura appeared in the distant sky.

A dark-faced man with a thick beard, wearing an iron crown and Taoist robe, rode a tiger and drove the wind and clouds.

The black tiger has a third eye, treads on waves and soars through the void, surrounded by the energy of mountains and seas. The Taoist sits upright on the tiger's back, holding a black-edged steel weapon, his whole body radiating the profound light of the Intercepting Sect, treading on waves and breaking through the sea.

When Li Changshou saw the other person, his heart skipped a beat. "That's Zhao Gongming!"

At the same time, three more colorful clouds streaked across the sky.

Three female immortals stood atop it, each with their own unique charm; they were none other than the legendary Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.

The leader, Yunxiao, possessed a dignified and composed demeanor. He wore a plain-colored Taoist robe with cloud patterns, his hair was tied up in a high bun, and his expression was calm and self-possessed.

Two women stood on either side of Yunxiao. The one on the left, dressed in a green robe, had bright and sharp eyes; she was Qiongxiao.

On the right is a pretty and flamboyant woman, dressed in red as a Taoist robe, with a sassy demeanor; this is Bixiao.

Li Changshou looked at the Three Immortal Maidens with a hint of caution in his eyes. He saw something different about these three women.

Behind each of them was a faint, mysterious light, each one different.

Behind the clouds, a dark, yellowish light emanated, as if the end of the world was approaching and about to engulf all life.

Behind Qiongxiao was a cold, pure white, seemingly capable of freezing everything.

Behind Bixiao was a dark green expanse, and within that green seemed to be a gigantic maw ready to devour everything.

Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

Another figure, adorned with countless treasures, descended from the sky, bringing with it unimaginable, violent pressure.

Li Changshou was shocked after just one glance. Each treasure was shimmering with strange fluctuations, and it was none other than Duobao Daoren, the chief disciple of the Jie Sect.

He was handsome and always had a smiling face, but there was a strange coldness in his eyes. His body was also very strange, with strange blood lines connecting his body.

Li Changshou scanned the powerful members of the Jie Sect one by one.

Golden Spirit Mother, Tortoise Spirit Mother, Wudang Mother, Ten Heavenly Lords, and so on—one after another, these are beings with names that appeared during the Investiture of the Gods war.

But the more Li Changshou looked at them, the colder he felt. Each of these people exuded a strange and eerie aura, and just a few glances at them made him feel as if he were about to be corrupted. They all had some kind of invisible change.

Li Changshou swallowed hard. "How terrifying. Everyone in this world of Investiture of the Gods is abnormal."

He felt like a sheep that had entered a pack of wolves, his body instinctively sending out alarm signals.

Just then, a voice rang out from the side, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, you've arrived too!"

Li Changshou turned his head and saw a four-eyed Taoist priest.

Daoist Youhai was also a nominal disciple of the Jie Sect and a member of the original body's small circle of Dao discussions.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Youhai. Long time no see!"

The Daoist Youhai had two pairs of eyes on his face, a long and narrow face, pale skin, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Apart from his human form, he looked extremely ferocious, and his whole body was surrounded by a murderous aura.

When Daoist Youhai saw Li Changshou turn his head and see him, he immediately showed surprise.

"You've broken through to the Qi Refining stage?"

Li Changshou smiled slightly, "Not bad, a breakthrough indeed."

"Haven't you also broken through, fellow Daoist?"

Daoist Youhai laughed heartily, "It seems we're in luck."

"Do you know why the leader suddenly started giving a sermon this time? And why he summoned all members of the Jie Sect?"

Li Changshou shook his head. "I don't know about that."

Daoist Youhai frowned. "It seems we can only wait for the sect leader to speak."

"By the way, are you free after the sermon? I've come across an opportunity; would you be interested in exploring it?"

"It might be the cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Daoist Youhai. "An ancient cave dwelling?"

How confident are you?

Daoist Youhai smiled slightly, "I'm at least 60% confident."

"I also found Huang Yu Dao Ren and Hai Long Zi. They have also broken through to the first stage of Qi Refining. If the four of us join forces, we can definitely break in."

Upon hearing this, Li Changshou's eyes flickered slightly. The other two were also from their circle, and he hadn't expected them to have both broken through.

Suddenly, a chill ran through him. "It seems the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is approaching. All cultivators are affected by karma, and it is time to go out and seek opportunities to break through their cultivation."

"No wonder we've been caught up in the calamity of the gods. Heaven and earth have begun to influence all cultivators, creating the causal conditions that allow them to leave."

"In that case, we can go and take a look then," Li Changshou said, a thought flashing through his mind.

Daoist Youhai suddenly frowned, looked at Li Changshou with a strange expression, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, what kind of incense are you using? It smells so good that it makes me want to eat blood."

Li Changshou was taken aback when he heard this, then his heart skipped a beat and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

Without making a sound, he said, "I recently practiced with a batch of human oil, and some of it is still on my body."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Youhai smiled and said, "A batch of fresh blood food recently arrived at my cave."

"I'll send you a few when I have time."

Li Changshou chuckled and said, "Let's talk about it another time."

Li Changshou turned his head, his eyes filled with gloom. "Could it be that my modification of the cultivation technique caused some kind of change in my body? That this Daoist Youhai wants to eat me?"

Just as he was pondering, several resounding voices rang out.

"Welcome, Master!"

Auspicious clouds rose from Golden Turtle Island, above which hung various strange phenomena.

That was the inner disciples of the Jie Sect unleashing their Dao, welcoming the arrival of the Tongtian Sect Master.

In an instant, wind and thunder stirred, the sky and earth changed color, and a series of soaring auras enveloped Golden Turtle Island.

All the disciples of the Jie Sect shouted and released their aura, soaring into the sky.

"Welcome, Master!"

Ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, their aura soaring to the heavens.

In that instant, the heavens and earth roared, and strange phenomena appeared one after another.

On the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Jade Emperor gazed at the East Sea with a look of apprehension in his eyes.

Even as the ruler of the Three Realms and the master of the entire Heavenly Court, he did not have such a grand display.

With his deep-set eyes, the Jade Emperor, resembling a golden deity, merely gave a cold snort.

"Heh heh, the Investiture of the Gods has begun, let's see how long your Jie Sect can remain so arrogant."

Ten thousand immortals came to pay homage to Golden Turtle Island, and the eyes of countless mysterious and powerful beings were fixed on this place.
