Investiture of the Gods: Fellow Daoist, Come Cultivate in My Banner!

Zhao Gou rode atop the Great Yellow Sand Sage, arriving amid billowing yellow sand!

Bystander A: “State your name, stranger!”

Zhao Gou: “Hear my name and tremble! I am Lei Lei Daoist, a Qi Refining adept from Kunlun Mountain!”

Bystander B: “Kunlun is home to true cultivators. How could one of them possess such a bizarre magical treasure?”

Zhao Gou: “Fellow Daoist, do not speak carelessly. This is our clan’s supreme treasure, the Human Emperor Banner!”

Bystander C: “I see black smoke puffing from that treasure. It doesn’t look like something from the righteous path!”

Zhao Gou: “Heh heh heh! Your eyes deceive you, fellow Daoist. It’s just so purple it looks black!

‘The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven’s evolution yields forty-nine, and one escapes.’

Zhao Gou broke through the boundaries of the world and arrived as the variable in the Investiture of the Gods upheaval. He became Shen Gongbao’s disciple, learned the Dao, trained with wondrous treasures, and took the Great Yellow Sand Sage as his mount. Now he rides in with the storm!

“Fellow Daoist, please stay! The road ahead is perilous. Come cultivate inside my banner!”
