The two of them came out, and after taking two deep breaths of fresh air, they suppressed the churning sensation in their stomachs!
Many court officials also fled the great hall one after another, and after taking several deep breaths, they recovered!
"Prime Minister, Uncle Wang, why didn't you two advise the King just now!"
Shang Rong and Bi Gan sighed in their hearts upon hearing this. Did they not advise? They simply couldn't persuade him, otherwise, they wouldn't have stood by idly!
Shang Rong and Bi Gan did not expect that Di Xin would establish such a cruel punishment, let alone carry it out in court!
Three years passed in a flash. The divine abilities and techniques corresponding to the peak of Golden Horn Heavenly Immortal were all taught to Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao!
With Taishang's golden elixir to solidify their cultivation, teaching them divine abilities and techniques did not take much time!
After Jin Jiao slowly opened his eyes, he glanced at Bai Yao not far away, and then said to Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, "I have taught you all that I can. In a moment, you will accompany me to Yuqing Palace to report back!"
Shen Gongbao's face lit up when he heard this. He had felt that he had learned much in the past period and was eager to descend the mountain!
Jiang Ziya, however, looked at his surroundings with reluctance!
After Jin Jiao finished speaking, he walked towards Bai Yao, who was still cultivating. He used his magic to awaken Bai Yao!
When Bai Yao woke up, he looked at Jin Jiao in front of him and asked gently, "What is it?"
Jin Jiao smiled gently and said, "The matter assigned by Second Master is completed. We will go to Yuqing Palace to report back!"
Bai Yao nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the four of them headed towards Yuqing Palace!
In Yuqing Palace, Yuan Shi saw the arrival of the four and understood the reason!
With a wave of his hand, Yuan Shi sent two spiritual swords towards Jin Jiao and Bai Yao!
"These two spiritual treasures were refined by me in my leisure time. They were originally a pair, separable and combinable. They will serve as your reward, you two!"
Bai Yao and Jin Jiao's eyes lit up when they heard they were a pair of lover's swords, and they immediately accepted them without any pretense!
"Hehe, thank you, Martial Uncle!"
"We thank Second Master!"
Yuan Shi shook his head and ignored Jin Jiao and Bai Yao, who were marveling at the spiritual treasures, and turned his attention to Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao!
"Shen Gongbao, your murderous intent is too strong. I was unwilling to let you descend the mountain, but you two are destined for the mortal world. I hope that when you descend, you will temper your heart in the mortal world!"
As Yuan Shi spoke, he waved his hand and sent two spiritual treasures flying towards Shen Gongbao!
Shen Gongbao took them and saw a pearl and a sword shaped like a fishbone!
"The pearl is named Qian Yuan Pearl, containing a trace of the pure and clear energy of heaven and earth. It can be used to repel enemies or protect your spiritual treasures from being corrupted!"
"The sword is named Fishbone, possessing a trace of killing intent, which will aid you in battle. Both treasures are of the acquired category!"
Shen Gongbao's face lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately thanked Yuan Shi!
Yuan Shi nodded and then looked at Jiang Ziya!
"Jiang Shang, your character is steady. You will be the main figure in the Investiture of the Gods, and Shen Gongbao will be your assistant!"
As Yuan Shi spoke, he waved his hand and sent three spiritual treasures flying towards Jiang Ziya! Su Dan Novel Network
Jiang Ziya caught them, and as the light dispersed, he saw a staff, a whip, and a robe!
"The tablet is the Investiture of the Gods tablet, which is of utmost importance and will be your item for the Investiture of the Gods!
The whip is the God-Striking Whip, used to assist you in the Investiture of the Gods!
The robe is the Eight Trigrams Wind and Cloud Robe, used to protect your life!"
Yuan Shi nodded and then said, "When you descend the mountain this time, as you pass by the North Sea, someone is waiting for you. When you meet, open this bamboo slip. This slip can help you!"
After Yuan Shi finished speaking, he waved his hand and said to the two, "Alright, you may descend the mountain!"
After Yuan Shi finished speaking, Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao bid farewell to Yuan Shi, Jin Jiao, and Bai Yao, and then descended the mountain together!
As soon as Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao left Kunlun, Shen Gongbao wanted to go to Chaoge. Jiang Ziya, due to Yuan Shi's instructions before descending, needed to pass through the North Sea. Thus, the two of them soared into the sky, agreeing to meet in Chaoge!
After they made their decision, Jiang Ziya headed towards the North Sea!
When Jiang Ziya arrived at the North Sea, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the North Sea churned. A naked, burly man suddenly blocked his path!
Jiang Ziya frowned. Looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't help but shout, "You are so impolite! We have no past grievances or present enmities. Why are you blocking my way!"
The burly man immediately announced himself, "I am Bo Jian, the commander of Your Majesty Xuanyuan's army. When I was campaigning against Chi You, I accidentally fell into the North Sea and my soul was trapped here. Many years ago, a Taoist priest named Qingxu Daode Zhenjun passed by and said that a Taoist priest would come here after him to help me escape. Therefore, I stopped you, esteemed Taoist priest, and hope you will have mercy and help me escape!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya suddenly remembered Yuan Shi's words and immediately opened the bamboo slip given to him by Yuan Shi!
"Bo Jian had meritorious service but unfortunately died in the North Sea. He can be rescued and appointed to oversee the construction of the Investiture of the Gods platform! My slip descends into the water, and Bo Jian will be freed!"
After Jiang Ziya finished reading, he looked at Bo Jian!
"Bo Jian, this humble Taoist can help you escape, but you must obey my command. Are you willing!"
Bo Jian's expression lit up when he heard this. He had been trapped here for an unknown amount of time. Now that he had hope of escaping, he immediately agreed without hesitation!
"Bo Jian is willing to follow the arrangements of the esteemed Taoist priest. I hope the esteemed Taoist priest will help me escape!"
Seeing that Bo Jian had agreed to his conditions, Jiang Ziya threw the bamboo slip given to him by Yuan Shi into the North Sea!
The moment the bamboo slip touched the North Sea water, it immediately opened by itself. The script on it emitted streams of clear light. In a short while, Bo Jian found himself free!
Bo Jian was overjoyed and thanked Jiang Ziya profusely!
Jiang Ziya nodded and asked Bo Jian to go to the nearby Huashan mountain to cultivate and await his instructions!
Bo Jian nodded and immediately went to Huashan mountain to cultivate as Jiang Ziya instructed!
After rescuing Bo Jian, Jiang Ziya immediately headed towards Chaoge!
On the other side, Shen Gongbao had just arrived at Chaoge. Seeing the demonic energy permeating the sky above Chaoge city, he couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself, "Strange, Chaoge city is protected by human luck. How can there be demonic energy permeating it!"
After Shen Gongbao finished speaking, he strode into the city, intending to investigate!
After staying in the city for three days, Shen Gongbao pieced together the recent events in Chaoge city and discovered that almost everything that had happened had occurred after Da Ji entered the palace!
Although Shen Gongbao suspected Da Ji, he did not dare to make a hasty judgment without seeing her. Therefore, Shen Gongbao decided to enter the palace to investigate!
