Chapter 1172: Chapter 1170: The Mysterious Man: I’m Here to Help You Break Free from the Investiture of the Gods
Actually, in Jiang Liu’s view, with the thousands of people in Bitter Sea Town, if the God of Wealth had to guide each one individually, even if only a portion needed guidance, it would at least take several years to complete, right?
However, in the situation that followed, Jiang Liu found that his assumptions were sowhat off.
Moreover, the issues of the human heart cannot be calculated rely using addition and subtraction.
When many people in Bitter Sea Town sink into depravity, many others will follow suit; however, if more people strive to rise, then the atmosphere changes, and those originally fallen may gradually be influenced by the environnt and turn over a new leaf.
This is how the environnt influences people.
Isn’t this just like the reason Mother ng moved three tis in ancient tis?
And why do so many people strive desperately to get into prestigious schools from elentary to middle, and even university?
One reason is that resources are indeed abundant, but more importantly, the atmosphere of the school is better, right?
In the days that followed, Jiang Liu naturally kept an eye on the situation in Bitter Sea Town, and as the atmosphere improved, it beca easier for the God of Wealth to guide others. Additionally, more and more people turning over a new leaf led the entire Bitter Sea Town into a positive cycle.
After about another month and a half, indeed, Bitter Sea Town had taken on a completely new look, and the forr scenes of depravity were nowhere to be found.
“In a previous life, I rember soone saying that everything has a flywheel effect, just like riding a stationary bicycle requires a lot of effort, and the speed isn’t fast either.”
“But once the speed picks up, not only does it require less effort, but the speed also increases. The situation in Bitter Sea Town is roughly the sa, right…” Jiang Liu mused silently to himself about everything in Bitter Sea Town.
“Alright, Xuanzang, the matter you entrusted to , I have completed…”
After spending three to four months and seeing the completely renewed look of Bitter Sea Town, the God of Wealth seed quite fulfilled and spoke to Jiang Liu.
“Amitabha, I thank the God of Wealth on behalf of the residents of Bitter Sea Town!” Jiang Liu said, pressing his palms together.
“There’s no need to thank ; I think they should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you coming to the Heavenly Court to ask for my help, I wouldn’t have co to the Lower Realm,” the God of Wealth replied to Jiang Liu with a slight smile.
“Hehehe, Master, is this what you often call mutual flattery?” Hearing the conversation between Jiang Liu and the God of Wealth, Sun Wukong suddenly ca over, his face lit with a smile as he asked Jiang Liu.
These words made Jiang Liu smile slightly, without a reply.
The God of Wealth also looked at Sun Wukong with amusent. To be honest, although Sun Wukong is now considered a person of the Buddhist Sect, the God of Wealth actually holds a good impression of this rebellious Monkey, who once dared to cause Havoc in Heaven.
“Alright, now that this matter is resolved, I won’t linger any longer. Master Xuanzang, you can also continue on your Journey to the West. I imagine you’ve been eagerly waiting these days? We shall et again if fate allows!”
With the task completed, the God of Wealth was naturally eager to get his hands on the remaining twelve Sea Calming Pearls, hence he bid farewell to Jiang Liu.
“Eagerly waiting? If I could, I would wish for the matter of Bitter Sea Town to drag on for another year or so!” Jiang Liu’s heart had mixed feelings about the God of Wealth’s words and silently ridiculed.
Of course, he wouldn’t voice his inner thoughts. Jiang Liu nodded slightly, bid farewell to the God of Wealth, and watched as he disappeared into the sky.
The Bodhisattva of Golden Light had taken on the role of Coordinator for the Journey to the West, and naturally, many were watching his actions.
Even Maitreya Buddha and Kong Xuan had failed; could such a minor figure like the Bodhisattva of Golden Light really coordinate the work of the Journey to the West for Scriptures?
Not only do people from the Buddhist Sect want to know, but those from the Heavenly Court naturally want to know too.
Thus, the trial he orchestrated for the first ti had all the Immortals and Buddhas secretly observing.
Months have passed, and currently, it seems that this trial is quite smooth and without any incidents?
Naturally, the situation in Bitter Sea Town had co to a conclusion, and the God of Wealth’s departure back to the Heavenly Court was also known by the Immortals and Buddhas.
“The God of Wealth actually didn’t encounter a calamity? It seems his luck is quite good!”
Relatively speaking, the people in the Heavenly Court are more concerned about the God of Wealth’s safety, especially since the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team is now regarded like a plague, with all the Immortals and Buddhas wishing to avoid them.
The God of Wealth actually agreed to the request of the Bodhisattva of Golden Light to descend to undergo a calamity? To many deities, this seed like utter folly.
But from the current situation, it seems the God of Wealth is perfectly alright?
“Did it succeed?” The deities in the Heavenly Court are more concerned with the God of Wealth’s life and death, while the Buddhist Sect is more concerned with the trial.
The Bodhisattva of Golden Light actually succeeded in orchestrating a trial?
If so, it seems to prove the previous words of the Bodhisattva of Golden Light, that the stronger one’s skills, the harder it is to take on this trial?
Not to ntion the thoughts of the Immortals and Buddhas monitoring Bitter Sea Town for months, at this mont, the God of Wealth stood on a white cloud, flying towards the Heavenly Court.
However, suddenly a dark shadow appeared, blocking the God of Wealth’s path.
Looking at this shadow, dressed in a loose black robe, completely shrouding its figure, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.
Yet, this outfit caused the God of Wealth’s heart to tighten, then relax, and he opened his mouth to ask, “Who are you? Mysterious Senior?”
Indeed, this appeared dark shadow, dressed in a Shadow Robe, who else could it be but the mysterious figure whose reputation has echoed through all realms for recent years?
The mysterious one has appeared!?
The eyes of the Immortals and Buddhas were already focused on Bitter Sea Town, and with the mysterious figure appearing and blocking the God of Wealth, this naturally caused a great stir.
“The mysterious figure has actually appeared! We can’t let him escape this ti!” On the Heavenly Court’s side, the Jade Emperor and the Empress exchanged a glance, then quickly headed towards the God of Wealth.
Not only the Jade Emperor and the Empress, but even the Tathagata, Randeng Buddha, Master Wuchao, Master Zhenyuan, Quasi-Saint Kong Xuan, and others, like sharks sensing blood, rushed over first.
In an instant, the dark-robed figure and the God of Wealth beca the focal point of the Three Realms.
Even the strong ones from the Demon Realm began to move.
For the clue about the last strand of Hongng Purple Qi, these Quasi-Saints naturally put forth all their effort.
Even though there was no confirmation that Hongng Purple Qi was indeed on the dark figure, as long as there was a clue, they would not let it go.
“Yes, it is I!” The Evil Corpse, transford into the dark mysterious figure wearing the Shadow Robe, floated in front of the God of Wealth, nodded slightly, and said.
“I don’t know why Senior blocks my path today?” The God of Wealth looked at the mysterious figure, asking.
The God of Wealth’s heart tightened when he saw the mysterious figure, for many Immortals and Buddhas have died by his hand recently, indicating his lack of favor towards them.
However, this dark figure seed to have sothing to do with the Sect Master Tongtian and once wielded the Absolute Immortal Sword, fad in the world. Therefore, considering this, the God of Wealth’s heart relaxed again.
Originally, Jiang Liu intended to create a situation that captured the attention of all, then, in front of countless eyes, dissolve Zhao Gongming’s contract in the Investiture of the Gods.
To this day, Jiang Liu also understood that over these few months, there must be many Immortals and Buddhas watching here.
Even with the identity of the dark mysterious figure revealed, this place surely has beco the focal point for all Immortals and Buddhas.
As one of Jiang Liu’s two corpses, the Evil Corpse knew exactly what Jiang Liu’s thoughts were.
Therefore, after revealing its identity, the Evil Corpse realized that this place had beco the focus of all Immortals, Buddhas, and even demons, and soon Quasi-Saint-level big shots would rush over.
In front of everyone, this body had used its ability to return itself directly to the Severance of Corpses page multiple tis.
But these Quasi-Saints had endless powers, and no one knew if they had treasures or supernatural powers to block him.
Therefore, it would be best to leave as soon as possible if able.
So, after revealing its identity, the Evil Corpse knew that ti was limited.
“I appear here today for no other reason but concerning the Investiture of the Gods!” The Evil Corpse wasted no words with Zhao Gongming, stating its purpose directly.
“Investiture of the Gods?” Zhao Gongming looked at the mysterious figure in shock, unable to comprehend what he ant by bringing up the Investiture of the Gods.
“Legend has it that after the battle of the Deification, countless souls were bound to the Investiture of the Gods. Today, I intend to see if this can be changed…” Seeing Zhao Gongming’s stunned expression, the Evil Corpse said.
“That’s impossible!” Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming shook his head.
The Investiture of the Gods is a treasure born of tribulation, the true spirits are bound to it, perhaps only the words of a Saint can change it?
The mysterious black-robed figure before him, though strong, changing the restraining power of the Investiture of the Gods seems impossible to Zhao Gongming.
“What? He intends to dissolve Zhao Gongming’s connection with the Investiture of the Gods? How could that be!?” Countless big figures, Immortals, Buddhas, and demons focused on the situation, internally shocked by the Evil Corpse’s words.
The words of the Evil Corpse truly left these people in stunned disbelief.
“Whether it is possible will only be known after trying!” Though his expression was unreadable, the voice of this mysterious black-robed figure was very calm, evidently exuding a sense of confidence.
Then, with a flip of his hand, the contract unbinding scroll appeared within his grasp…
