On that day, the army of King Wu stormed into Chaoge.

The Zhaixing Tower was engulfed in raging flames.

Emperor Xin, along with his indulgent and extravagant lifestyle, was reduced to ashes.

Thus, the great campaign against King Zhou came to an end, marking the complete conclusion of the Shang and Zhou dynasties' war.

I followed the orders of my master and established the Fengshen Altar on Qishan, in preparation for the enfeoffment of gods.

The door curtain rustled, and Yang Jian entered the grand tent.

"Master Ziya, the Fengshen Altar has been completed as instructed."

I nodded slightly.

A few days later, I led Nezha, Yang Jian, and Lei Zhenzi up Kunlun Mountain to respectfully request the Fengshen List.

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, I looked up.

For some unknown reason, as soon as we entered the territory of Kunlun, an inexplicable force struck us.

Under its influence, Yang Jian and I fell at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Yang Jian pressed his forehead, and the third eye on his forehead suddenly opened.

"Master Uncle, it seems that Kunlun has changed. Be extremely cautious during this ascent."

"If you see or hear anything, don't easily believe it."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but frown.

Kunlun Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist.

Although it was not clear, there was a faint presence of immortality circulating.

This scene was no different from the past, so why was there talk of changes?

If there was one difference, it was the presence of that inexplicable force.

However, Kunlun Mountain had the presence of Master Yuanshi to oversee it.

There shouldn't be anything abnormal, logically speaking.

I saw that Yang Jian seemed to know something and asked him.

But in the end, Yang Jian just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Seeing this, I could only let it go.

At present, we couldn't fly, so we could only climb the mountain on foot.

I led the others up the mountain along the mountain path, and at first, everything seemed fine.

However, as we climbed higher, my body became increasingly heavy.

With each step, the weight increased, and there was a trend of difficulty in walking.

Kunlun Mountain was a sacred mountain, filled with immortality.

Even ordinary people climbing the steps would have their footsteps become lighter due to the nourishment of immortality.

This situation should never have occurred.

Thinking this, I took another step.

A heavy pressure struck me, causing me to stumble forward.

"Master Uncle, be careful."

Eight hands suddenly reached out from behind and supported me.

Turning my head, I saw that Nezha had transformed into a three-headed, eight-armed figure.

I was about to thank him, but the words got stuck in my throat.

Each of Nezha's three heads had a different expression.

One was cold, one was ferocious, and one had a sinister smile.

Six crimson eyes stared at me, their naked greed undisguised.

A chill ran through my heart.

A thought arose in my mind—does he want to devour me?

"Master Uncle, what do you think of me?"

The three mouths spoke in unison, their voices neither male nor female, quite eerie.

Hearing it, I felt a bit dizzy.

At that moment, a barely perceptible aura entered my nostrils.

Demonic aura!

I was instantly startled and regained my clarity.

Kunlun Mountain had an excessive amount of immortality, and I hadn't noticed it before.

I never expected Nezha to have fallen into demonic possession!

"Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, have either of you felt anything amiss?"

I turned my head and warned, preparing to join forces with the two to subdue Nezha.

Upon hearing my words, the two in front turned to look.

I kept using my eyes to signalthat something was wrong with Nezha, but they didn't seem to notice.

Instead, they both wore strange smiles on their faces.

Yang Jian's third eye was wide open, emitting a faint red light.

Lei Zhenzi's body was surrounded by crackling lightning.

What on earth is happening?

I took a step back, my mind racing to figure out the situation.

Just as I was about to make a move, Nezha suddenly spoke again.

"Master Uncle, don't be alarmed. It's just a little prank. We're here to welcome you to the new Kunlun."

The three heads spoke in unison, their voices full of malice.

My heart sank.

It became clear that these three were no longer the Nezha, Yang Jian, and Lei Zhenzi I knew.

They had all fallen into demonic possession.

But who could have possessed them?

At this moment, a voice echoed from the mist.

"Welcome, Master Ziya, to the new Kunlun."

The voice was full of charm and temptation, making my mind tingle.

A figure slowly emerged from the mist, revealing an enchanting woman with a graceful figure.

Her eyes sparkled with a bewitching light, and her smile was both seductive and wicked.

"Who are you?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure.

The woman laughed softly.

"Master Ziya, I am the new ruler of Kunlun, the Empress of the Immortals. You may call me Queen Mother of the West."

Queen Mother of the West?

That was the title of the legendary immortal figure who ruled over the Western Paradise.

But this woman in front of me exuded an eerie aura, far from the benevolence associated with the Queen Mother of the West.

Something was definitely wrong here.

"What have you done to Kunlun and my disciples?" I demanded, my voice filled with anger.

The Queen Mother of the West chuckled softly.

"Oh, Master Ziya, don't be so serious. I have simply brought a change to Kunlun, a change that will benefit everyone. As for your disciples, they have willingly joined me, embracing their true potential."

Her words further confirmed my suspicions.

These changes in Kunlun and the possession of my disciples were all orchestrated by her.

But why?

"What is your purpose, Queen Mother of the West?" I asked, my voice cold.

She looked at me with a sly smile.

"Master Ziya, you are a wise man. Surely you can see the potential that lies within you. Join me, and together we can reshape this world."

I felt a surge of power emanating from her, tempting me, trying to sway my thoughts.

But I was not so easily swayed.

"I will never join you. You have twisted the essence of Kunlun and corrupted my disciples. I will stop you and restore Kunlun to its rightful state!"

As I spoke, I drew upon my own power, gathering the spiritual energy of the surrounding immortality.

The Queen Mother of the West's smile faded, replaced by a look of annoyance.

"Very well, if you insist on being a fool, I will eliminate you myself."

She waved her hand, and a powerful force surged towards me.

I braced myself, ready to face this formidable enemy and protect the true spirit of Kunlun.

As we clashed, the battle for Kunlun had only just begun.
