Investiture of the Gods: Reborn as Shen Gongbao, I Refuse to Join Chan Sect

After transmigrating, he becomes Shen Gongbao of the Seven Mountains and Five Ridges.

Thinking of the miserable immortal life he would lead after becoming a disciple of the Chan Sect, lower than a beast of burden, Shen Gongbao decides from the start not to go to Kunlun Mountain to seek the Chan Sect's tutelage. In doing so, he gains heaven-defying comprehension.

Using the Seven Mountains and Five Ridges as his foundation, Shen Gongbao quietly develops his strength, growing more powerful all the while. He comprehends and creates Daoist arts, cultivates divine abilities, refines spiritual treasures, and builds his own faction.

As the Calamity of Investiture of the Gods begins.

Demon Pill Nezha: Senior Shen is so much richer than my master, Taiyi Zhenren. Spiritual treasures and elixirs, he's got everything!

Spirit Pearl Ao Bing: I don't know why, but I ran into a senior named Shen Gongbao. He immediately gave me an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and not just one. He didn't even blink. He just kept handing them over like they were worthless!

Taiyi Zhenren: Shen Gongbao, my master is the Primordial Heavenly Lord. Even the Heavenly Lord doesn't force me to cultivate, so why are you so relentless? Damn it, I'm so thin I don't even look like myself anymore!

Di Xin: Senior Shen, please become the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Shang Dynasty!

Primordial Heavenly Lord: Shen Gongbao is serving as Imperial Preceptor in Chaoge. How are we supposed to carry out the Investiture of the Gods now?! We can't carry it out at all!
