Chapter 342: Investiture of the Gods, Blessing of the Celestial River

He had activated all his magical treasures to be on the safe side. He also used the so-called Chen Family’s Qi Finger because Chang Yaoling was behind him and it was inappropriate for him to use exaggerated Divine Powers or magical treasures to kill the Great Wilderness Divine Lord. That was also to stop Divine Lord Zi Huan from thinking that he was not a martial artist.
Jiang Changsheng stretched out his right hand and sucked the body of the Great Wilderness Divine Lord into his hand while holding his belt with one hand.
The previously insufferably arrogant Great Wilderness Divine Lord was now like a corpse as blood continued to drip.
Chang Yaoling came back to her senses. She swallowed her saliva and asked, “What ultimate technique is the Chen Family’s Qi Finger? Is it the Chen Family from the Upper Realm?”
Jiang Changsheng answered, “I obtained it by chance. My only connection with the Upper Realm is you and your lord.”
Chang Yaoling breathed a sigh of relief. She was willing to believe Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng did not leave. Instead, he waited.
After a period of time, he would break through the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation so that it would seem like he had spent a period of time killing the Great Wilderness Divine Lord.
At that moment, the Great Wilderness Divine Lord’s consciousness was approaching its final juncture. He opened his eyes with great difficulty and glanced at Jiang Changsheng. With a trembling voice, he said, “You… anomaly…
Sooner or later… you will bring disaster…”
Jiang Changsheng said indifferently, “I didn’t want to be your enemy, but you pushed me too hard.”
He knew what the Great Wilderness Divine Lord wanted to say, so he interrupted him. After all, if he were to kill him when he spoke, it would seem like he was afraid of something.
The Great Wilderness Divine Lord coughed. In the end, his hands fell and he died.
Even someone as powerful as a Divine Lord had died in Jiang Changsheng’s hands. Furthermore, it was from a single move!
Chang Yaoling was shocked and found it unbelievable.
However, Jiang Changsheng felt that it was normal. When he first broke through, his strength value was already more than 300 billion incense points higher than Great Wilderness Divine Lord. After so many years, he had been getting stronger while the Great Wilderness Divine Lord had stagnated.
The difference between the two of them could be described as massive. It was not difficult to kill the Great Wilderness Divine Lord.
Chang Yaoling’s heart was in a mess. She was curious about Jiang Changsheng’s background and the Chen Family in the Xuanhuang Great World.
Half an incense stick of time later, Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and used the Chen Family’s Qi Finger to disperse the thunderclouds and shatter the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation.
[In the 70th year of the Immortal Era, the Great Wilderness Divine Lord brought five Martial God and 5,000 Martial Emperors to the Great Wilderness Martial World with the intention of killing you and eradicating the Human Race. You took action in time and successfully survived their siege. You survived a calamity and obtained a survival reward—Magical Treasure, Investiture of the Gods.]
A notification appeared before Jiang Changsheng.
Investiture of the Gods?
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. Interesting. After he ascended, he would confer a group of immortal gods.
However, if the Investiture of the Gods was the only way to become a god, it would be much worse. At the very least, it would not be in line with his expectations.
Jiang Changsheng carried the body of the Great Wilderness Divine Lord and flew towards Jingcheng while Chang Yaoling hastily followed.
“Dao Ancestor, what are your plans for his corpse?”
“Leave it for Heavenly Jing, so that the people of Heavenly Jing can create stronger martial arts techniques. Besides, puppet techniques have already been created. Wouldn’t it be better if we can refine him into a puppet in the future?”
“There are similar puppet techniques in the Xuanhuang Great World, but they cannot unleash the full strength of the puppet when it was alive.”
“It’s better than destroying his body directly.”
“That’s true.”
The two of them chatted as they disappeared into the sea of clouds. The thunderclouds that covered the entire world began to dissipate, and the vast
Celestial River was still surging in the sky. However, after the Great Wilderness Divine Lord lost control over it, the Celestial River did not fall to the human world. Instead, it roamed the sky, sprinkled countless stars of light, and dissipated in the air.
Yellow clouds surged and the bright sun hung high in the sky. It was incomparably huge. There were huge pillars standing in the sea of clouds, and every pillar was embedded with gems. There was a person sitting in front of the pillars.
Ping—
A piece of jade suddenly shattered and the dregs fell to the ground. The guards below immediately looked up and their expressions changed.
The guards in front of the other pillars also heard the noise and opened their eyes one after another.
“The Divine Lord Stone has shattered. A Divine Lord is dead?”
“Tsk tsk, so many Divine Lords have died recently.” “If they die, so be it. If they die, there will be more spots for us to climb up.” “That position is… the Great Wilderness Divine Lord?”
“The one who died was the Great Wilderness Divine Lord? From the looks of it, it’s not a small matter.”
The guards discussed among themselves. The guards who caught the dregs immediately left.
On the other side.
In a bright hall, Divine Lord Zi Huan sat on a chair and waited with a frown.
Jiang Changsheng allowed the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation to successfully form, causing her to suddenly not know what to do. She could only wait and not dare to rashly make a choice.
At that moment, the jade stone in her hand suddenly lit up. She immediately picked it up and Chang Yaoling’s beautiful face appeared.
When she saw Chang Yaoling, Divine Lord Zi Huan’s expression changed. She was shocked.
The Dao Ancestor had won!
“Recount the course of the battle!” Divine Lord Zi Huan said in a deep voice.
Chang Yaoling nodded and said, “The Dao Ancestor fought a great battle with the Great Wilderness Divine Lord. The Great Wilderness Divine Lord wanted to use the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation to suppress the Dao Ancestor, but he encountered a backlash from heaven and earth. Because of that, the Heaven and Earth Furnace Formation was out of control and it was unable to help the Great Wilderness Divine Lord. As for the Dao Ancestor, he used the Chen Family’s Qi Finger to kill the Great Wilderness Divine Lord. The Chen Family’s Qi Finger was too powerful. It was unimaginable for a single finger to disperse the true energy of a Heavenly Origin extreme weapon. Tell me, which Chen Family is this Chen Family from? The Dao Ancestor doesn’t know either and said that he obtained it by chance.”
Her words were half true and half false. It was Jiang Changsheng’s orders. She did not betray Divine Lord Zi Huan, but what Jiang Changsheng said made sense.
If Divine Lord Zi Huan were to know of Jiang Changsheng’s strength, she might be afraid and it would be detrimental to their future collaboration.
Chang Yaoling believed it without a doubt and decided to tell a white lie.
In fact, with the performance of the Dao Ancestor, even if Divine Lord Zi Huan were to become his enemy, she would not be his opponent. However, it was better for both sides to cooperate peacefully. She was doing this for Divine Lord Zi Huan’s own good. At least that was what she thought.
“Chen Family? There are many families with the surname Chen in the Xuanhuang Great World. I will investigate. Since the Dao Ancestor has won, I am prepared to take over the Great Wilderness Martial World. You can continue to stay by his side. If he needs anything, tell me at any time.”
“Understood!”
The jade stone image was cut off. Divine Lord Zi Huan got up and disappeared from her original spot.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
After Jiang Changsheng inherited the memories of the Investiture of the Gods, he revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
What a good Investiture of the Gods!
It was stronger than he had imagined. The Investiture of the Gods could be divided into eight groups of 365 legitimate gods. These 365 legitimate gods would live or die with the Investiture of the Gods and would not be affected by their lifespan. In other words, as long as the Investiture of the Gods was not destroyed, they would not die.
After Jiang Changsheng integrated his luck into the Investiture of the Gods, wherever his luck covered, the legitimate gods could mobilize the power of heaven and earth within its range. In addition, the Investiture of the Gods had the ability to teleport people over. If Jiang Changsheng were to leave for the Xuanhuang Great World, he could directly summon them to fight for him.
As the 365 legitimate gods became stronger, Jiang Changsheng could also control the Investiture of the Gods to fight and use the immortal gods to suppress powerful enemies. The power of the Investiture of the Gods was based on his own luck and the luck of the 365 legitimate gods. The Investiture of the Gods could become a treasure to suppress luck and promote lick.
The position of a legitimate god could be changed. Jiang Changsheng could change and cancel their position as a god. Once they lost their position as a legitimate god, they would not be able to live long given that the lifespan given to them had also been taken away from them. Through the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Changsheng could directly manipulate the legitimate gods and prevent them from betraying him.
The Investiture of the Gods was stronger than he had imagined. It could directly create 365 immortal gods. Just the matter of being almost immortal was enough to make people go crazy.
The only flaw was that the Investiture of the Gods was also a growth-type magical treasure. Once the legitimate gods left the range of the Investiture of the Gods, they could only rely on their martial arts realm. However, with them around, the range of the Investiture of the Gods would continue to increase. If it could cover the entire Xuanhuang Great World, they would be true gods!
Jiang Changsheng took out the Investiture of the Gods and a dazzling golden light shone on his face. Looking carefully, there was a mysterious scroll in the golden light.
“The Investiture of the Gods controls the immortal gods, the Classic of
Mountains and Seas controls the strange beasts of heaven and earth, and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror controls the mountains and rivers. This is a road of no return.
Jiang Changsheng lamented in his heart. Once he rose to power, he would certainly attract a lot of hostility. He could only take advantage of the situation and not retreat.
However, even without these three magical treasures, he was already rejected as an immortal cultivator.
With these three treasures, he could finally establish his own orthodoxy and rules. At the very least, he could make his people and believers live a better life.
Rather than leaving her fate to others, it was better to control it himself!
He would definitely not be like the Great Wilderness Divine Lord. Sacrificing everything in the world to strengthen himself was a heinous act!
Jiang Changsheng’s Dao was not so absurd. The faith that the believers gave him was just a thought. It did not cause the believers to lose anything, let alone sacrifice their lives.
He would prioritize becoming stronger and benefit the common people by his side and under him!
Jiang Changsheng smiled and began to refine the restrictions in the Investiture of the Gods.
At the same time, the news of the Dao Ancestor killing the God of Heaven and Earth quickly spread and the natural disasters between heaven and earth began to stop.
The provinces of the Heavenly Jing were in an uproar as Jiang Changsheng’s reputation reached its peak.
The news also began to rush towards the Great Wilderness, shocking all the myriad races.
Jiang Changsheng did not intend to appear in public. The impact of this battle was too great. He wanted to avoid the limelight and enjoy the incense points in a low-profile manner.
Three months later.
The news that the God of Heaven and Earth had been killed by the Dao Ancestor of Heavenly Jing had completely spread, and all the races were in an uproar. For a moment, more and more races sent envoys to visit Heavenly Jing, wanting to be on good terms with Heavenly Jing.
After this battle, all the races had given up on encircling and suppressing the Human Race. Xu Tianji even said that this was the battle that decided the fate of the world.
The Celestial River swam above the Great Wilderness, and the myriad races could see it. No one could calculate the length of the Celestial River. Ever since the Celestial River descended, the martial arts spiritual energy between heaven and earth had increased. This was something that all living beings could clearly sense.
In the northern region of Heavenly Jing, Di Chang stood on the cliff of the huge mountain tortoise and looked at the magnificent Celestial River in the sky with a complicated expression.
“Celestial River… Outerworld Devil River… what a joke..
Di Chang muttered to himself with a bitter smile.
It turned out that there was no Outerworld Devil River at all. The Celestial River was here to bless the human world, but it was borrowed by the God of Heaven and Earth to eliminate the Imperial Race.
“Dao Ancestor, what kind of existence are you…”
Di Chang looked at the horizon and muttered to himself.
Two months ago, when he learned that the God of Heaven and Earth had been killed by the Dao Ancestor, his first reaction was disbelief, followed by deep admiration. This admiration rapidly swelled, and the closer he got to Heavenly Jing, the stronger his emotions became.
The God of Heaven and Earth had eradicated the Imperial Race, but he did not personally appear. This meant that the Dao Ancestor’s strength had surpassed the peak of the Imperial Race.
Furthermore, he had surpassed an entire race by himself!
How powerful was he?
This was the power he should pursue!
The Dao Ancestor might really be an immortal.
As he thought about it, Di Chang suddenly became spirited as a soul-shocking bell rang in his mind..
