Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

At the top of the majestic Kunlun Mountains, a fairyland-like scenery comes into view.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, and lush green forests, the mountains seem to be in an ancient painting.

In this fairyland, Yuxu Palace is like a shining pearl, shining brightly.

The Yuxu Palace is solemn and dignified. The architectural style of the palace is simple and elegant, with carved beams and painted buildings, showing the solemnity.

In the center of the palace, on a platform that towers into the clouds, Yuanshi Tianzun sits upright.

He was dressed in a Taoist robe, with flowing white hair, a kind and majestic face, and his deep eyes revealed endless wisdom and insight.

Under the cloud platform where Yuanshi Tianzun sat, the disciples of the Chan sect each found a place to sit.

They sat cross-legged, their faces fascinated, listening attentively to Yuanshi Tianzun's wonderful teachings.

After a while, with the echo of the last holy sound, Yuanshi Tianzun ended his sermon.

The entire Yuxu Palace seemed to have awakened from a deep dream. The light gradually faded away, leaving only the mysterious feeling lingering in everyone's hearts.

"Thank you Master!"

Everyone stood up from their cushions, straightened their robes, bowed, and bowed respectfully.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force lifted everyone up. His face was calm, and his voice was calm and deep:

"Get up. You must study the Jade Purity Immortal Technique I just talked about carefully after you go back."

"Yes, I will follow Master's words and practice hard to live up to your expectations!"

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed again.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and continued:

"Now that the catastrophe has begun, if you want to survive it safely, you must not slack off in recruiting disciples."

"Besides that, remember, don't commit murder again!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's tone suddenly became stern, and he stared at everyone with a sharp gaze.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Thinking of the horror and danger of the killing calamity, they responded in unison again:

"I will strictly follow the Master's teachings and never commit murder again!"

Afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze swept through the crowd, finally stopping at Guangchengzi and Chijingzi, and spoke lightly:

"Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, you two stay here, and the rest of the disciples can withdraw."

Guangchengzi and Chijingzi were shocked when they heard this. The master must have something important to tell them if he kept them here.

So, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully:

"Yes, Master!"

Upon seeing this, the other disciples also stepped forward, bowed and took their leave, quickly leaving Yuxu Palace.

In Yuxu Palace, only Yuanshi Tianzun, Guangchengzi and Chijingzi were left.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Guangchengzi and Chijingzi, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice deep and powerful:

"Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, you two have profound cultivation and firm character. Today I have an important task for you."

Guangchengzi and Chijingzi immediately bowed and answered respectfully:

"Disciple is here, please give me instructions, Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and continued:

"You should go to Chaoge City immediately and take the two sons of the King of Shang, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, as your disciples."

"Firstly, they do have a master-disciple relationship with you. Accepting them as your disciples can help you complete the killing calamity and reduce the damage caused by the calamity to you."

"Secondly, both of them can become the next successor to the Human Emperor. Now, the Phoenix is singing in Xiqi, which indicates that the Holy Lord has appeared and the Shang Dynasty has run out of luck. This is in accordance with the will of heaven. You must cut off the Human Emperor's succession to avoid unnecessary disputes."

Guangchengzi and Chijingzi nodded when they heard this and responded in unison:

"I will follow Master's orders and go to Chaoge City immediately to accept the two sons of the King of Shang as my disciples and bring them back to Kunlun Mountain."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself:

"No one could have imagined that I would let my disciples take in Emperor Xin's son as their apprentice. This move was unexpected. This time I want to see who else has the courage to take the lead again."

"Okay, in that case, go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you come back!" Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master, I will go to Chaoge immediately!"

Guangchengzi and Chijingzi bowed and worshipped, then left Yuxu Palace, turned into a stream of light, and flew to Chaoge City.

……

Longde Hall

"Call the princes to the emperor for an audience!" A sharp voice spread from inside the hall to outside.

As the news spread, eight hundred princes lined up in front of the hall in order according to the size of their fiefdoms.

The space inside the Longde Palace was limited, and it was difficult to accommodate so many princes, so that there were densely packed princes standing outside the palace.

At this moment, a melodious bell sounded, echoing in the sky above Longde Hall.

"The King has arrived——"

A loud communication sounded, shaking the entire Longde Hall.

Emperor Xin was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. He walked calmly to the dragon throne and sat down, with a domineering look in his eyes.

"kneel!"

As the palace servant's voice spread, eight hundred princes knelt before Emperor Xin and said loudly:

"Greetings, great king! Long live the king! Long live the king! Long, long live the king!"

"Everyone is safe."

Emperor Xin's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the Longde Palace.

Upon hearing this, the princes stood up one after another, their eyes looking towards Emperor Xin on the high platform, waiting for him to speak.

"When you entered Chaoge City, have you ever seen the scenery inside Chaoge City? What was your feeling? Beibo Hou, please tell us about it!" Emperor Xin looked at the princes with deep meaning in his eyes, and then asked one of them.

Upon hearing this, Beibohou Chonghouhu felt uneasy. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and replied:

"Your Majesty, when I first entered Chaoge City, I was shocked by its magnificent city walls and bustling streets."

Chonghouhu's voice was loud and infectious, and everyone seemed to be able to see the shock and admiration in his eyes.

"Then, the streets were extremely prosperous, with shops lining the streets and a wide variety of goods. The vendors were shouting about their various goods, and the customers were selecting the items they liked."

"The pedestrians coming and going all have happy smiles on their faces. It is a prosperous scene. I feel an unprecedented vitality and vigor."

Beibo Hou Chonghouhu gave a vivid and detailed description, telling everyone what he saw without missing a single scene.

Many princes couldn't help but nod in agreement. When they first entered Chaoge City, it was obviously different from the last time they came.

The mental outlook of the people has improved significantly, and a positive atmosphere is prevalent on the streets.

Emperor Xin listened to Beibohou's words, nodded with satisfaction, looked at Beibohou, and said calmly:

"It seems that Beibohou really took in the sights of Chaoge City. Not bad, not bad."

Beibohou Chonghouhu was delighted by Emperor Xin's praise. Then, he bowed deeply to Emperor Xin and said:

"Your Majesty is wise. Not only is Chaoge City prosperous, but what I have seen and heard along the way during my visit to Chaoge also demonstrates the prosperity and prosperity of the Shang Dynasty."

"The people in Da Shang are all smiling. It is clear that the king has governed well, making Da Shang a peaceful country with a peaceful and prosperous people."

As soon as Chong Houhu finished speaking, voices of approval rang out from inside and outside the hall.

Other princes also stepped forward to express their recognition and appreciation for the king's governance of the country. Their voices rose and fell, interweaving into a chorus of praise.

However, Emperor Xin was not fooled by these praises. He had a deep gaze and seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Amid the crowd's praises, he suddenly changed the subject and aimed his sharp eyes at Ji Chang, the King of Xibo.

"In that case, I want to hear your opinions. Who do you think can overthrow the foundation of the Shang Dynasty? Lord Xibo, please tell me!"

Emperor Xin's voice was deep and powerful, striking everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Ji Chang, the King of Xibo, who was directly named by Emperor Xin, felt a tremendous pressure. What is coming will eventually come.

So, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and answered respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I believe that under your leadership and your diligence and love for the people, the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace, and the foundation of Dashang is as solid as a mountain, and no one can shake it in the slightest."

Emperor Xin's eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife. He leaned forward slightly and looked directly at Xibohou Jichang, his voice low and serious:

"Oh? If that's the case, then why did the phrase 'The Holy Lord has appeared' spread in your fiefdom? Could this so-called 'Holy Lord' be referring to you, Ji Chang?"

As he spoke, the atmosphere in the entire court suddenly became solemn, as if it was being tightly pressed by an invisible force.

All the princes held their breath and dared not speak, for fear of causing dissatisfaction from Emperor Xin.

Ji Chang felt Emperor Xin's sharp gaze. Although he was nervous in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

He took a deep breath and replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I have no idea why such treasonous words were spread. I suspect someone is maliciously spreading rumors behind my back to slander me. I hope Your Majesty will see through this and clear my name."

Ji Chang's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. It not only expressed his denial of the rumors, but also demonstrated his loyalty and openness.

However, Emperor Xin did not relax his vigilance. He continued to stare at Ji Chang, as if trying to find out the other's true thoughts.

"Then why didn't you stop the rumors when they were spreading, but instead let them spread?"

Emperor Xin's voice became even deeper, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Ji Chang's heart trembled when he heard this. He did have some small thoughts, but he would never have the intention of rebellion unless he was completely sure.

So, after thinking for a moment, he bowed again and said sincerely:

"Your Majesty, after hearing the rumor that the 'Holy Lord has appeared', I was also deeply shocked and disturbed."

"I am fully aware that once these rumors spread, they will cause unrest in the country and unrest among the people. Therefore, I immediately ordered the news to be blocked and sent my trusted aides to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"However, Your Majesty also knows that this rumor is definitely not a lie. Someone must have deliberately spread it."

"Although I tried my best to stop the spread of it, the human heart is unpredictable and the rumor spread quickly like wildfire."

"I am terrified, but I am more loyal and worried about the king and the Shang Dynasty."

Although Ji Chang's words were gentle, the firmness and loyalty in them moved everyone present.
