However, the Tongtian Sect Master would not let his disciple be on the list for nothing. Feeling the Sages glancing at him from time to time, the Tongtian Sect Master could not help but snort coldly, and his killing intent suddenly disappeared. At this time, the Sages could not help but remember that the Jie Sect was established by the Tongtian Sect Master. The Tongtian Sect Master held the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation, which could not be broken by only the Four Sages. How could he be so easy to deal with, not to mention that they were plotting against his disciple?
Yuanshi lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked, "Teacher, the number of people needed to be on the List of Deification is too large. Even if all the disciples of the Four Sects were added together, I am afraid that we would not be able to fill it up. May I know how many disciples from each of the Four Sects are needed to be on the list?" Indeed, Yuanshi asked the question that was in the hearts of the Sages.
Hongjun said faintly, "The two thousand and eighty-four thousand celestial soldiers and celestial generals are mainly mortals on the list. The first three hundred and sixty-five Righteous Gods are for the Four Sects to fill in. As for the disciples of each sect, it is decided by the Sages. After the discussion, use your mana to write the names of the disciples on the List of Deification. Three hundred years later, you will hand over the list."
After Hongjun finished speaking, he disappeared directly and returned to Tendo.
When the Sages heard this, they began to calculate. The three hundred and sixty-five Righteous Gods on the List of Deification were for the disciples of the Four Sects, so it was relatively easier. However, once they were on the List of Deification, they would be bound by the Celestial Court. How could the Sages be willing to let their disciples suffer?
Lao Tzu, on the other hand, was calm and composed. Although the Ren Sect was also involved in this Cultivation Tribulation, Xuan Du was the only disciple of the Ren Sect. Furthermore, Xuan Du's cultivation had reached the Quasi-saint realm and he had the protection of the Lingbao that Lao Tzu had bestowed upon him. Unless a Saint made a move, no one could kill Xuan Du with a single strike. Furthermore, even if Xuan Du stayed in Mount Shouyang, with Lao Tzu's protection, no one could hurt him.
Moreover, all the Saints understood that Xuan Du was the only official disciple of the Ren School. If Xuan Du made it onto the rankings, the Ren School's legacy would be broken. When that time came, Lao Tzu would have to fight with his life on the line. All the Saints understood this logic, but Lao Tzu was not completely at ease. He could not help but glance at River Styx. Last time, he had already shed all pretense of cordiality with River Styx. If River Styx were to make a move, even with his protection, Xuan Du might not be safe.
When River Styx saw Lao Tzu looking at him, he laughed and said, "Looks like there's nothing for me to do here. I'll take my leave first. You guys can discuss it here!" After he finished speaking, he strode out of the Purple Cloud Palace. There was no point in staying here. It was better to return to the Great Desolation and make some arrangements. In this Cultivation Tribulation, River Styx was planning to take revenge for the Heavenly Tribulation.
As soon as River Styx left, Nüwa and Ping Xin also took their leave. This matter had nothing to do with them, so there was no point in staying. They might as well leave and leave the place to Sanqing and the two Saints of the West. After all, in this Cultivation Tribulation, the four sects were the main characters. If they did not come up with a solution, they would feel uneasy. However, this Cultivation Tribulation was not a good thing. It concerned the future of their disciples, so how could the Saints give in?
Although the Deification of the Gods was a precious treasure and was now in front of the Five Saints, they had no intention of fighting for it. This was the Deification of the Celestial Court. After the Deification, the Deification of the Gods would naturally be handed over to Haotian. In this way, it would be useless for them to fight for it. Now, they could only think of a way to gather the 365 Righteous Gods on the Deification of the Gods.
However, the Five Saints were naturally unwilling to use their own disciples to gather the 365 Righteous Gods. Therefore, they could only look at the Deification of the Gods in silence. No one was willing to speak first. They were all thinking about how to get more disciples to fill in the Deification of the Gods.
After a long while, Laozi opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, the Investiture of Gods this time is related to the Cultivation Tribulation. It's no small matter. We still need to fill in the 365 righteous gods on the List of Gods. Alright, let me start first." After saying that, Lao Tzu used his mana to write down the names of more than ten people on the Deification of the Gods. These were all registered disciples of the Ren Sect.
After Lao Tzu finished writing, he waved his hand and sent the Deification of the Gods to Lord Yuanshi. When Lord Yuanshi saw this, he waved his sleeves and used his mana to write down the names of more than ten people on the Deification of the Gods. They were all registered disciples of the Chan Sect. Moreover, they were all people with low cultivation or were not good enough. In short, they were all useless disciples. For those who were talented, even if they were registered disciples, Lord Yuanshi could not bear to fill in their names.
After Lord Yuanshi finished writing, he sent the Deification of the Gods to the Tongtian Sect Master. When the Tongtian Sect Master saw this, he used his finger as a pen and wrote down the names of more than thirty registered disciples of the Jie Sect on the Deification of the Gods. These people were either lazy in their cultivation or had bad moral conduct. Letting them on the Deification of the Jie Sect could be considered as giving them a way out, so that they would not be annoyed by the sight of them.
Finally, the Deification of the Gods was sent to Summon and Zhunti. Summon and Zhunti looked depressed. They hesitated for a long time before writing down six names. Then, they pushed the Deification of the Gods to the middle of the Sages.
After counting carefully, there were less than seventy names left after the five Sages signed the names. There was still a long way to go before they could gather the number of three hundred and sixty-five Principal Gods. Not to mention, there were still two thousand Deputy Gods and eighty-four thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. If this continued, when would the Deification of the Gods end?
Lao Tzu looked at the Deification of the Gods and the less than 130 names on it. He said, "Everyone, there are less than seventy names now. There is still a long way to go before we can gather the number of three hundred and sixty-five Principal Gods. We should still think of a way. "
At this time, Zhunti suddenly said, "Tongtian Daoist Friend, your Jie Sect is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals. Now, there are more than two hundred people left on the Deification of the Gods. Daoist Friend has many disciples. Why don't you let the Daoist Friend fill the remaining spots? Being conferred the title of Principal God of the Celestial Court might be a way out. When the time comes, you will be able to enjoy the worship of the human world. It might not be a bad thing. "
When the Tongtian Sect Master heard this, he immediately snorted and said, "Zhunti, don't make it sound so nice. If you think it's a good thing, why don't you let your disciples fill the empty spots? Just now, when I signed the Deification of the Gods, I have already signed more than thirty names. If you really want to sign, it should be you. Although I have many disciples, none of them can be on the list."
When they heard that the Tongtian Sect Master wanted them to sign, Lao Tzu, Yuanshi, and the Two Sages of the West showed displeasure on their faces. Summon put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, Tongtian Daoist Friend, you are wrong. The Daoist Friend has tens of thousands of disciples, and there are good and bad disciples. This time, the Deification of the Gods can help the Daoist Friend get rid of some people with poor character and talent. Why not?"
Just as the Tongtian Sect Master was about to get angry, Yuanshi said, "Summon Daoist Friend is right. Third Brother, you have many disciples, and many of them are from the Demon Clan. Although you are powerful now, you don't have the treasure to suppress your fate. In the long run, you will only be a burden to yourself. Why don't you take this opportunity to get rid of the dregs and keep the essence? This is the best of both worlds."
When the Tongtian Sect Master heard this, anger rushed to his heart. Summon and Zhunti were fine, but Yuanshi, as one of the Sanqing, was his second brother. Although Yuanshi often scolded him in the past, he had never taken it to heart. However, today, Yuanshi did not speak up for him, but instead helped Summon and Zhunti. How could the Tongtian Sect Master not be angry?
