The first immortal that Si Bu Xiang found while dragging Jiang Ziya was Pu Hua Tian Zun.

The reason they sought him out was because Pu Hua Tian Zun had many non-human immortals under his command.

However, Pu Hua Tian Zun was unwilling to help Jiang Ziya.

It was because they had a grudge.

Pu Hua Tian Zun was none other than Wen Zhong.

Si Bu Xiang said, "Although you had a grudge in the past, now you are already an immortal. As the saying goes, the belly of a prime minister can carry a boat. Isn't your tolerance greater than that of an ordinary mortal prime minister?"

Upon hearing these words, Pu Hua Tian Zun sneered and said, "Compared to tolerance, I value keeping my promises more. I won't help him because he broke my promise."

The story begins with the time when Shang Tang attacked Xia.

At that time, there was a drought during Shang Tang's campaign against Xia, and the courtiers advised Shang Tang not to attack because Xia Jie's fate had not yet ended. Therefore, a drought was imposed, and if they wanted rain, they had to sacrifice a living person.

So, the sacrificer tied a slave to the altar to burn him alive and pray for rain.

Shang Tang arrived and untied the ropes from the slave and set him free.

The people were puzzled.

Shang Tang said, "I am the one attacking Xia, so if heaven wants to blame someone, it should blame me. What does it have to do with others? If heaven does not destroy Xia and I go against heaven, then heaven should punish me, not my innocent people."

After saying that, Shang Tang ascended the altar.

"If heaven blames me for attacking Xia and refuses to send rain, then let me burn to death to apologize to the world."

After Shang Tang finished speaking, he ordered someone to light the fire.

After the fire started, the sky suddenly became overcast with dense clouds, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down.

The rain extinguished the flames, and the people shouted with joy and prostrated themselves.

Later, Shang Tang replaced Xia and became the ruler.

The slave who was saved by Shang Tang was Wen Zhong. Grateful for Shang Tang's kindness, Wen Zhong made a vow to protect Shang Tang's legacy for generations to come. Later, Wen Zhong went to cultivate in the mountains and acquired great skills. After that, he entered the court as an official, wholeheartedly safeguarding Shang Tang's legacy until King Wu attacked King Zhou, and he died on the battlefield.

Therefore, for Wen Zhong, Jiang Ziya broke his promise and prevented him from fulfilling his commitment to Shang Tang.

So, even if he could recruit other non-human immortals, he would never help Jiang Ziya.

Si Bu Xiang could only lead Jiang Ziya away helplessly.

If Wen Zhong refrained from helping due to accumulated grievances from past lives, then what about someone in a past life who was connected to Jiang Ziya?

With this thought in mind, Si Bu Xiang carried Jiang Ziya and arrived at the residence of Zi Wei Emperor.
