#614 - The mumbling curtain general
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a dignified, hairy, gold-armored immortal has arrived outside the Flowing Sand River.”
Qin Yi was searching for key figures who might appear in the Flowing Sand River when a Great Buddhist Realm demon swam over and reported to him.
During this period, Qin Yi inquired about the affairs of the great and small demons within the Flowing Sand River. Basically, as long as they had any intelligence, they knew that Qin Yi seemed to be looking for someone.
Hearing this, Qin Yi's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Finally here. There are still eight days left until the three-month deadline, and you've finally appeared."
Dignified, hairy, and wearing golden armor, this person couldn't possibly be Jin Chanzi.
If Jin Chanzi came, he would be wearing plain clothes and be bald.
Just the facts that he is hairy and wearing golden armor are enough to exclude the possibility of him being Jin Chanzi.
If it's not Jin Chanzi, then it must be the Curtain Lifting General who was just demoted to the mortal realm.
As for the possibility of other people, Qin Yi didn't consider it.
Qin Yi wasn't very clear about where the Flowing Sand River was located in the ancient primordial world.
But observing the general cultivation level of the little demons in the Flowing Sand River area, in this ancient primordial world, which is known as a place where immortals are everywhere.
The highest cultivation level here was actually a half-immortal old turtle, not even at the Dragon Gate Realm.
One can imagine how... remote this place is!
At this time, besides Jin Chanzi and the Curtain Lifting General, these two key figures, who would be free to come here.
Qin Yi nodded to the demon in front of him, indicating that he understood.
Immediately afterward, Qin Yi restrained his aura and headed in the direction the demon indicated...
Above the Flowing Sand River.
A dignified, gold-armored, hairy... divine general muttered in a low voice:
“Just because I broke a broken cup, do I have to be sent here to participate in this arduous task?”
“I've broken many broken cups before... why did something happen only this time.”
“Alas~ So many people weren't chosen, but they chose me. Maybe I'm too outstanding~!”
“I have to say, since coming down from the Heavenly Court, the scenery along the way has been really good.”
“In the past two months, I've traveled all the way here, it's really comfortable!”
“Forget it, just treat it as a vacation for myself. Being a curtain lifter every day is not what a real man should do! Although the Heavenly Emperor gave me the title of general.”
“But this general title is more of a joke. No one in the entire Heavenly Court who has any ability has ever looked at me directly.”
“When that Jin Chanzi comes, I'll kill him. After all, he's the second disciple of the Receiving Saint.”
Qin Yi hid in the Flowing Sand River, listening to the Curtain Lifting General's mutterings, his face full of black lines.
Only now did he understand why he had waited so long in the Flowing Sand River before seeing the Curtain Lifting General's figure.
It turned out that this guy had been playing around slowly since he left the Heavenly Court before coming over...
At this moment, Qin Yi really wanted to say:
Do you know how I've been spending these past two months? Because of your late arrival, I've become the master of the Flowing Sand River...
Above the Flowing Sand River, the Curtain Lifting General's muttering hadn't stopped and was still continuing.
“The second disciple of the Receiving Saint, rumored to have unfathomable cultivation. I really don't know what his specific cultivation is...”
“Anyway, it's higher than mine. In the past, when I saw such a person, I had to be careful.”
“But today is different. Jin Chanzi has been reincarnated, how much of his cultivation can be left?”
“When I kill you and return to the Heavenly Court, let's see who dares to look down on me!”...
Qin Yi hid in the dark, thinking, "Is the internal competition in this ancient primordial Heavenly Court so serious... The Curtain Lifting General is at least an official."
“Why does he look so frustrated?”
On second thought, being frustrated seems right.
After the Investiture of the Gods, the ancient primordial Heavenly Court was strong and powerful.
The various powerful figures from the Chan and Jie sects in the Heavenly Court could look up to a Curtain Lifting General like him.
Speaking of which, this Journey to the West plan organized by the Western Church has something to do with the Investiture of the Gods.
The Investiture of the Gods was mainly based on the struggle between the three religions: the Human Religion of the Supreme Lord Laozi, the Intercept Religion of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and the Elucidation Religion of the Yuanshi Tianzun.
Among them, the Human Religion of the Supreme Lord Laozi rarely appeared in the entire Investiture of the Gods process due to its sparse population.
Each appearance played a crucial role, and usually they were just bystanders...
Watching the Chan and Jie sects fight.
The Chan and Jie sects had nothing to say about this. Who told them that their population was small?
The entire staff of the Supreme Lord Laozi's Human Religion consisted of Grand Master Xuandu, Xiao Jin, Xiao Yin, Qingniu, and himself.
Four people and one Qingniu. Leaving aside the configuration, just the personnel was indeed not many.
It wasn't even as many as the population in a disciple-level family in the Chan and Jie sects.
But the configuration was indeed top-notch! The Supreme Lord Laozi's own combat power was the strongest among the Three Purities.
Grand Master Xuandu was known as the strongest below the saints.
Qingniu, in the Journey to the West, rendered the people of the Heavenly Court helpless, whether it was Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing or the Third Lotus Prince Nezha.
Including that monkey who jumped the most, all their weapons were taken away.
He abused these big shots to the point of crying and screaming, that's how powerful he was!
If the Supreme Lord Laozi hadn't personally come forward in the end, the Journey to the West would have basically ended here.
What else could they fight? Qingniu was mindful of being in the same Heavenly Court and held back. If he had gone all out, these people would have fallen!
The Supreme Lord Laozi's mount had such extraordinary combat power.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin also caused a lot of trouble for the monkey in the Journey to the West.
In short, these four people and one ox of the Human Religion, don't look at their small number, but they were super fierce!
But the Investiture of the Gods wasn't about combat power, it was about numbers.
At that time, the Heavenly Court, headed by Haotian, had just been established, and all living beings, especially the immortal disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, were dissatisfied and took the lead in resisting.
Relying on being disciples of saints, they began to act recklessly.
Could Haotian tolerate them? Who wasn't a saint?
In this way, coupled with many factors at the time, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, aimed at the primordial beings, especially the Chan and Jie sects, began.
The Supreme Lord Laozi also went to discuss the various matters of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, but that was entirely out of giving Haotian face and he had to go.
The Human Religion had always been very well-behaved, and the Supreme Lord Laozi was the first to support the Heavenly Court boss headed by Haotian.
During the discussion of the Investiture of the Gods, Haotian gave an indicator: three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods, plus many minor gods whose positions were not very important.
In this indicator, everyone intentionally or unintentionally skipped the Human Religion of the Supreme Lord Laozi.
Grand Master Xuandu was the only disciple of the Supreme Lord Laozi, Qingniu was his mount, and Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin were his attendants. Which of these people could be moved?
If they were moved, the Supreme Lord Laozi might have to take out the Taiji Diagram and speak.
