The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

There was silence in the Eight Gods Palace.

Gao Qi knelt on the ground, feeling a little nervous, his heart pounding. He hadn't felt this way for two thousand years.

The last time he was so nervous was when he was assisting Duke Huan to ascend the throne.

That time he changed his own destiny and the destiny of his clan.

It was because of his meritorious service in supporting Duke Huan and assisting Duke Huan together with Guan Zhong in achieving hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period that he was recognized by his ancestors and became a leader among the descendants of the Jiang family. He was able to inherit the Shennong lineage and take over the divine whip.

He believed that he was the man destined by heaven. This time, he would accomplish greater feats than Taigong, and even surpass Shennong, becoming the greatest man under heaven throughout history.

But the long silence and stillness made him very uneasy.

"Bye, yeah!"

Gao Qi once again slammed his head heavily on the black jade floor tiles, making a crisp thumping sound that echoed throughout the hall.

"I beg you, Grand Master, to grant me the Book of Divine Conferment!"

"You just said...you are my eighth-generation grandson?" Taigong's divine thoughts came.

Gao Qi was delighted, for he was afraid that Taigong would stop talking. This was not a real person, but just a wisp of divine thought. If he stopped talking to him, then he would really have no way out.

By using the magic whip to drip blood to identify the pulse, the mind of Shennong can be awakened and Taigong can be made to appear. However, this method cannot be used too often. After each use, Taigong's mind will become weaker.

"In reply to Taigong's words, my grandfather was Duke Wen of Qi, and my father was Gongzi Gao. So, I am the eighth-generation descendant of Taigong."

Gao Qi was afraid that Taigong would think that his inheritance was not genuine, after all, his father did not become a king, so he added another paragraph and took the opportunity to show off his achievements.

"After Duke Wen, the king gradually became weak and the state affairs gradually declined. At that time, Duke Xiang was in power, and Prince Wuzhi murdered the king and usurped the throne. It was I who conspired in Yonglin and killed Prince Wuzhi. Prince Xiaobai was in Ju State at that time. I welcomed Prince Xiaobai back to the country and supported him as the king, and he was Duke Huan. After that, I assisted Duke Huan, united the nine princes, and unified the world, and achieved the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period. My Jiang family is also the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period!"

The Grandfather said, "Well, I only have a wisp of divine consciousness, which I leave behind to protect the bloodline of my clan. The hegemony of future generations is not something I know about, nor do I care about. The hegemony of a king or a prince is nothing but a castle in the air, which will eventually return to dust after thousands of years. I gave up the immortal path and enjoyed all the glory, but in fact, I just wanted to leave a little more incense for the Jiang family."

Gao Qi didn't expect that his boasting was in vain. Taigong didn't even give him a word of praise, which made him feel a little disappointed.

"Grandpa..." He brought the topic back again, "This time, I will definitely turn the tide and let the Jiang family regain the glory of the Shennong era! I beg Grandpa to grant me the Book of Conferring the Gods!"

"You know, the Book of Conferred Gods is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. It cannot be touched lightly. If there is any mistake, the foundation of the Heavenly Dao will be destroyed and there will be no recovery."

"I know." Gao Xi said solemnly, "I won't mess with the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. I just want to use the Book of Conferred Gods to control the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Formation, control Jian Wu, and deal with Hades."

"The Book of Conferred Gods is in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and the eight clans hold it together. Why don't you ask them for it, but come to me?"

"The elders of the eight surnames have been controlled by Si Yunyang. If they agree, I can activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Qi by giving me the cardinal key. Why would we need to use the Book of Conferred Gods? The Book of Conferred Gods was originally in the hands of Shennong and passed to Taigong. Taigong was selfless and gave it up to the eight surnames to determine the foundation of the world. I know that our Jiang family must have a copy, Taigong..."

Gao Qi prostrated himself at the feet of the statue of Tai Gong and said with deep sorrow:

"Now the world is in chaos, and the people are suffering. The Heavenly Dao that our ancestors have worked so hard to maintain may be difficult to maintain. Please, Grandpa, think of the lives of the people in the world and grant me the Book of Conferred Gods to quell the chaos and save the world!"

The Eight Gods Palace fell into silence again.

Gao Qi fell to the ground, crying and begging, and finally he became impatient.

Suddenly, I heard Taigong say, "The foundation of the Heavenly Dao cannot be easily disturbed, and the Book of Conferred Gods cannot be handed over to one person, so I cannot give it to you."

Gao Qi's face turned pale, and he was filled with infinite anger, about to explode.

But then Taigong said, "Although I cannot give you the Book of the Gods, I will put the remnants of my life into the God-Slaying Whip. When the situation becomes critical, you can activate the God-Slaying Whip and put my remnants into the Heavenly Dao. This method can also mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao and activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Qi."

"Really?" Gao Qi was delighted at first, then he made a sad face, "Grandpa! In this case, don't you..."

"It's just a wisp of regret, it's not worth regretting." Tai Gong said, "I had the opportunity to become the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, but I was greedy for the wealth of the world and gave up the immortal path. Now there is only this wisp of regret left, and it's time to bid farewell to this world once and for all."

"You are too modest, Grandpa. You are the pride of our Jiang family. How could you be greedy for wealth and honor in the world? There must be other reasons that made you make such a choice."

This was not just a polite remark from Gao Qi, but something he truly thought. As a descendant of the Jiang family, he certainly did not think that his ancestor would be someone who coveted wealth and fame.

"Haha," Taigong laughed, "You are right and you are not right. I say you are right because I do have other intentions. I decided to stay in the human world in order to find the temple of the gods that was lost in the human world. It's a pity that I have never been able to achieve my wish in my entire life."

"I say you are wrong because although I have the mission to find the Palace of Gods, I have not tried my best and put most of my energy into the human world. You know, it is because of the deification of the gods that there is a colorful world for enjoyment. I have lived half of my life as an immortal and half of my life as a mortal. I have no regrets in my life. Jiang Qi, listen carefully. I will now teach you the magic spell to activate the power of the Heavenly Dao. You must listen carefully and use it well..."

Gao Qi felt a divine thought rushing into his sea of ​​consciousness, and countless spells flashed before his eyes.

At the same time, Taigong's shadow turned into a wisp of smoke and drilled into the magic whip.

Looking at the magic whip in his hand, Gao Qi didn't know whether he should be surprised or annoyed.

The surprise is that now he has the means to mobilize the power of Heaven, and he can activate the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation at any time as long as he wants.

To his chagrin, he only had one chance.

After using it once, Taigong's remnant of regret dissipated. The way of heaven is still the way of heaven, and it is not something that Gao Qi can control at will.

He felt a little angry at Taigong. He was clearly his ancestor, but he didn't help his descendants!

Now that I have obtained the Book of Conferred Gods, would I harm the Jiang family?

Thinking of this, the anger that had just accumulated in his heart poured out, he raised his foot and kicked the statue of Taigong.

With a snap, the Kunyu black bronze statue, without Taigong's regret, broke into two pieces.

Gao Qi didn't even look at him, turned around and left the Yan Emperor Palace.
