The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 321 - 320: Poor Yaya

Xuan Du saw that even his master had stepped forward, so he could no longer idle around.

"We set off in five days, brothers. Prepare well. All materials within Eight Scenic Palace may be used."

There wasn’t much to say about the preparation ahead, but the provision of resources could be considered a small benefit before the mission.

None of the Quasi-Saints moved. With their cultivation, crossing Chaos Realm with their physical bodies was largely safe as long as they didn’t encounter an unlucky Chaos Demon God.

Those with weaker cultivation or those undergoing re-cultivation engaged in alchemy and artifact refining, all in the hopes of improving their chances of survival.

Five days later, the Chan Sect Immortals and Buddhist Sect’s Manjusri and Puxian simultaneously ceased their preparation.

Regardless of readiness, it was time to depart.

The disciples stood behind Xuan Du but did not set off immediately.

Countless treasures radiating various hues of luminous light began converging outside Eight Scenic Palace—that was the Saints’ "delivery" arriving.

The first to receive aid from the Saints was Xuan Du.

A chaotic variety of items poured down—Tai Chi Diagram, Eight Scenic Palace Lamp, Purple and Green Double Swords...

Next were Jie Sect Immortals. Duobao Daoist continued wielding the Slaying Immortal Sword; Jin Ling Saint Mother held the Immortal Slaughter Sword; Wudang Saint Mother had the Immortal Trapping Sword, while Gui Ling Saint Mother, unable to wield the Immortal Extinguishing Sword due to weak cultivation, held the Fish Drum instead.

The Immortal Extinguishing Sword was handed over to Zhao Gongming, an Outer Disciple. Later, No Brainer and Unhappy received Purple Lightning Hammer and Heart Piercing, respectively. Although Yunxiao didn’t receive any Magical Treasures, with the four siblings sticking together—Qiong Xiao and Bixiao acting as supportive pendants—they had no shortage of combat treasures.

On Chan Sect’s side, Guang Chengzi took the lead.

First came the Pangu Banner encased in Creation Mysterious Light; then came Yuxu Glaze Lamp, one of the Innate Spiritual Lamps; Jiang Ziya’s reclaimed Central Wujixing Yellow Flag; Eight Treasures Glaze Bottle; Infinite Bracelet...

The Three Treasures Ruyi wasn’t given, perhaps because Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn’t spare something indispensable for himself.

Nanji Immortal also garnered respect from Yuanshi Tianzun, who entrusted him with All Heavens Fortune Cloud—a Supreme Treasure said to be the embodiment of Pangu’s grand and upright energy.

The Western Sect’s Maitreya and others received Seven Treasures Miao Tree, Six Roots Pure Bamboo, Demon-suppressing Treasure Mallet, and so forth.

The Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, however, fell to Manjusri and Puxian.

Judging by this, it seemed natural for Maitreya and others to harbor animosity toward Old Li.

The worst off among everyone were Jiang Ziya and his companions.

Old Jiang still technically counted as a Chan Sect Immortal but hadn’t managed to acquire any treasures.

Some Immortals were friendly toward Jiang Ziya, but in Chaos Realm, every extra treasure in hand represented an additional thread of survival; at such moments, no one would generously give away their life-saving items.

Old Jiang understood this but still felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.

Seeing that no more Treasure Light appeared in the skies, Great Master Xuan Du declared, "My brothers, let us depart."

As he spoke, Tai Chi Diagram enveloped all the Immortals. As Yin Fish and Yang Fish slowly rotated, they had already arrived at Mount Taishan.

Among the mountain ranges, Huang Tianhua was seen still busy—only to be cornered by the imposing group!

Seeing such an overwhelming lineup, Huang Tianhua was stunned on the spot!

"What on earth? I haven’t defected or fallen into demonic cultivation... is such a grand reaction even necessary?"

Although Huang Tianhua was marked on the Ranking, he remained a Third Generation Disciple of Chan Sect. His bond with Qingxu Daoist Master was faint but remained unbroken.

Guang Chengzi stepped forward and said, "Do not be alarmed, nephew. We come in search of aid for His Majesty Hao Tian. Nephew, where did you discover the Jade Talisman? Please guide us there."

Huang Tianhua, aware of Guang Chengzi’s standing within Chan Sect, replied, "Yes, Senior Uncle."

The third-generation Mystic Sect Immortals followed Huang Tianhua to a rather ordinary hill recess.

"Honored teachers, this is where I discovered it. Please examine at your leisure."

Xuan Du, Guang Chengzi, Duobao Daoist, and Bai Biao’s Three Teachings each used their methods to investigate. The findings were largely the same: an ordinary hill recess with no exceptional features save for slightly thinner spatial integrity.

"Any insights, brothers?"

The gathered Immortals shook their heads—if the three of them couldn’t discern anything, what could the others offer?

Jin Ling, known for her swift and decisive manner, grew impatient with the slow pace and proposed, "Brother Xuan Du, Chaos Realm is disorderly and chaotic. Even if the Jade Talisman entered Primordial from here, it’s not necessarily anywhere close to Senior Hao Tian. I suggest we enter Chaos Realm directly."

Jin Ling’s words rang true. In Chaos, space and time operated in complete disarray. While their mission was to rescue Hao Tian, locating him would be akin to searching blindly. Once found, the Saint’s imprints on their bodies would allow them to be guided back to the present timeline.

Otherwise, in the boundless Chaos Realm, without Heavenly Dao’s authority, even the Saints—even a Chaos Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal—would find locating Hao Tian extraordinarily difficult.

Thus, they could only spread out and hope for luck.

Seeing the logic, Xuan Du ceased further discussion. Tai Chi Diagram fluttered, enveloping the group, and as Yin Yang Qi intertwined, the space before them shattered and merged into Chaos Realm.

The Mystic Sect Immortals’ Chaos exploration officially commenced.

To find someone, staying grouped wouldn’t be efficient.

After guiding everyone to adapt for some time, Xuan Du announced, "Brothers, we have entered Chaos Realm. Let us split up for the search."

The first to agree was Duobao Daoist.

With a casual step out of Tai Chi Diagram, he waved his sleeves, releasing countless treasures that emitted various luminous rays circling him in orbit—a sight resembling a miniature galaxy.

"Brother Xuan Du, brothers, I shall go ahead."

With Gui Ling Saint Mother as a companion pendant, he flew in one direction and disappeared.

Jin Ling and Wudang exchanged glances, summoned the Immortal Slaughter and Immortal Trapping Swords, combining their powers. The merging dark sword light soon vanished into Chaos Realm.

Next came Guang Chengzi. By shaking the Pangu Banner in his hand, ancient silver-gray Divine Runes enveloped himself alongside Chi Jingzi, True Master Yu Ding, Lingbao Great Master, and Qingxu Daoist Master, carrying them away.

Master Taiyi cast an apologetic glance at Jiang Ziya before following Nanji Immortal aboard All Heavens Fortune Cloud, drifting into Chaos.

Maitreya and others split into two groups—Maitreya and Pharmacist with Ju Liusun took one path; Ksitigarbha, Dashizhi, Manjusri, and Puxian ascended upon the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus along another.

This division further evidenced internal discord among Western Sect disciples.

Lastly, Jiang Ziya stood pathetically alone alongside Yunxiao and her siblings.

With kindness, Yunxiao offered, "Brother Jiang, if you don’t mind, would you travel with us siblings?"

How could Jiang Ziya refuse? Without support, he couldn’t even exit Tai Chi Diagram.

"Thank you, three senior sisters and senior brother."

"Not at all. On the contrary, I should thank you for your assistance to Nezha in the Heavenly Court."

As the brain of the four siblings, Yunxiao’s words faced no opposition from the others. Bringing Jiang Ziya along was a mere trifle.

With a swirl of robes, Zhao Gongming linked together twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Divine Pearls, encasing the five individuals in glowing blue divine radiance, before striding out of Tai Chi Diagram deeper into Chaos.

Xuan Du watched as his brothers departed one after the other. Relaxing his demeanor, he let out a great yawn, then manipulated Tai Chi Diagram to set off in another direction.
