The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 270 - 269: Do you want to obtain the Daoist Ancestor’s treasure? Then...

Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Do you want to obtain the Daoist Ancestor’s treasure? Then...

The expression on Tongtian Sect Master’s face was somewhat ugly as he looked at his second brother, "We are blood brothers, how can you side with outsiders?"

Accompanied by the sound of Jieyin’s crying in the background, he felt extremely irritable, really wanting to go up and stab Zhunti with a sword.

At this moment, the best course of action would be to lie on the ground and start crying too, but that would be worse than just killing him outright.

After mulling it over for a while, he said, "Alright, I’ll give you some more!"

Then Tongtian Sect Master rattled off a long list of marginal disciples, these being the remaining 1,000 or so of the Three Thousand Red Dust Guests taken away from the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in the original timeline.

This was essentially a cleanup of trash by the Tongtian Sect Master.

Jieyin and Zhunti were both overwhelmed upon hearing this. Buddhism was already chaotic enough, and now you’re adding a thousand pieces of garbage to the mix; wouldn’t that cause an explosion?

But since they were asking for favors, they couldn’t refuse.

Zhunti even continued playing background music.

Jieyin then said, "Shangqing Saint is merciful, these disciples coming to my Buddhism, I will certainly treat them as direct disciples, but as it stands, our Buddhism lacks a leader. Would you say..."

Tongtian didn’t even let Jieyin finish before he was already furious, thinking, "So, you old scoundrel are eyeing my direct disciple Duobao!"

He reached out to draw the Slaying Immortal Sword and struck.

At first glance, this strike didn’t seem any different from when he struck Nezha before; there were no special effects, Sword Qi, or mana—it seemed like an ordinary strike.

But cutting a Saint and cutting Nezha, how could that be the same?

The moment the sword was drawn, all the rich spiritual energy in Zixiao Palace extinguished, and Jieyin’s opportunity was locked, leaving no option but to take it head-on.

Zhunti instinctively moved to block the sword for his senior brother, but how could Jieyin let his injured junior take the hit?

He offered up his body, wielding the Divine Skills of his Six Gold-body to take it head-on. His golden body seemed no different from that of Jieyin’s, just feeling more solid and heavy.

Just as the awe-inspiring sword was about to collide with the Six Gold-body, Nuwa leaned back intending to grab a handful of seeds, suddenly remembering this was Zixiao Palace and quickly retracting her jade hand.

It didn’t show how the Daoist Ancestor acted, but suddenly, the sword automatically returned to Tongtian’s waist, and Jieyin’s golden body also dissipated automatically.

Tongtian and Jieyin, like two elementary school students fighting, suddenly calmed down as if the homeroom teacher had slapped the desk.

At this moment, all of the Six Saints flashed a look of shock in their eyes, "Is the gap really that big?"

At this time, the core of the Jie Sect remained intact, Tongtian Sect Master’s Dao Heart was unblemished, his cultivation was hard to say, but in terms of direct combat, his destructiveness was unparalleled, needing no debate.

Yet even he didn’t know how his sword had returned to his waist.

Zhunti, who had been playing background music, also quietly bowed his head and sat silently, not daring to cry anymore.

The previously mechanical elder Daoist was visibly more emotive after this incident with his disciples, letting out a sigh in his heart.

He extended an arm, summoned an object that resembled a cliff into his hand.

This object was something all Six Saints recognized—none other than the renowned Treasure Dividing Rock.

"I still have some treasures collected in a certain place in the Primordial Land. Whoever’s disciple can lead Buddhism can also take charge of the Treasure Dividing Rock, and the clues lie on it."

Immediately, the Six Saints began to calculate, "Daoist Ancestor’s collection, what could it be? Is there something in the Primordial world that hasn’t come out yet?"

But no matter what it was, anything related to the Daoist Ancestor would be a massive opportunity.

The old Daoist left with a cryptic ’You may withdraw now,’ and his figure vanished.

The Six Saints bowed and left with various thoughts in mind.

The one with the most relaxed expression was Nuwa, who thought, "I’m already lying flat anyway, let Old Deng be as great as he likes; even if he’s stronger, am I going to fix the roof myself later?"

This is the composure that comes with having skills!

As for the Treasure Dividing Rock, she felt her little disciple Nezha wasn’t material for management, let alone her only protégé; he would definitely not go to the Western Sect.

So after going back and telling Nezha about the happenings in Zixiao Palace as casually as dividing a melon, she added, ’You can go play if you have time,’ and did not pay much mind to it.

Taiqing was still recalling the Daoist Ancestor’s methods at the time; the more he thought about it, the more he felt the gap because he couldn’t figure out anything.

Tongtian Sect Master went back in a huff.

Yuan Shi Venerable’s expression remained unchanged, and no one could know what he was thinking inside.

...

Jieyin and Zhunti now both carried bitter expressions. They had beseeched the Daoist Ancestor here, and he provided them with a solution.

The trouble now was that they wanted to cunningly get their disciple the treasure key, the Treasure Dividing Rock, which was impossible. The Daoist Ancestor gave an opportunity to all Mystic Sect disciples. Now that you see there’s a benefit, you want to keep it internal?

Impossible!

As the saints returned, the entire Primordial land came to know about this matter, and there was no need to hide it.

The teachers of the Primordial won’t deliberately suppress their disciples; if you have the ability, go for it. This reflects the honest teacher-disciple concept of the Primordial.

The Daoist Ancestor’s treasure?

It’s far stronger than any Roger’s treasure a billion times over, and the frenzy among Immortals was even more so.

One action from the Daoist Ancestor stirred up a trend of learning Buddhism in the Primordial!

Zhunti and Jieyin thought long and hard on how to select this qualified leader since they couldn’t just let anyone come and try to be a Buddha, could they?

Otherwise, wouldn’t Buddhism explode directly?

Zhunti flashed a thought recalling the examination system for officials in the Great Tang, "This is good! You’re it!"

Want to get the Daoist Ancestor’s treasure? The secret is hidden on the Treasure Dividing Rock!

Want the Treasure Dividing Rock, then come learn Buddhist Law, learn management, and come take the exam!

The entire Primordial suddenly entered the era of major public examinations!

Unfortunately, no matter how they scrambled, only one would make it ashore in the end.

This time, the exam was personally set by Saint Zhunti, who laid down a large formation called the Ten Thousand Buddha Formation at the foot of Lingshan. The subjects were vast and varied, including Buddhist studies, management science, administrative science, divination, finance, psychology, performance studies among others—if you could think of it, it might be tested.

It was essential to screen out the highest quality talents in the Primordial.

...

At this time, Nezha was in a purple-colored palace, fiddling with the River Map and Luo Book, trying to calculate what the Daoist Ancestor’s treasure was.

But unfortunately, even Nuwa couldn’t figure it out.

He sighed, putting away the treasure, since it had nothing to do with him, and he wasn’t about to go be a Buddha.

However, he still remembered his teacher’s advice to go have a look around.

He speculated based on past experience that his teacher probably just wanted to see the excitement but was too lazy to move.

"Go, then go," he thought, considering his safety on this trip was assured. The Daoist Ancestor’s treasure would likely attract 80% of the Mystic Sect Immortals in the Primordial, so it wouldn’t hurt to go and see.

Since it was a trip, he had to bring family; going alone was too boring.

First of all were his companions Yang Jian, Yang Chan, Golden Light, Shi Ji, and Long Ji.

Old Li and Lady Yin from Nantang, Deng Chanyu, Daji, and Zigeng.

Off they went!

As for chaotic scenes or whatever, Nezha was so brave, how could he be afraid?

In fact, because of Old Li and Lady Yin’s presence, these little fairies were all demure, dignified, smartly behaved, even more so than when they were around Nezha.

You could only say Mrs. Zhang was right—the prettier the woman, the more deceitful.
