Chapter 162 Jiang Taigong, Jiang Ziya!
Su Fan walked up to the SR-level Chinese deity statue and wiped away the dust covering it with his hand.
The general appearance of this deity statue has also been revealed.
Su Fan looked closely and saw that the statue of the deity was wearing a straw hat and a Taoist robe, holding a long whip in one hand and a scroll in the other.
His face was thin, yet it exuded an air of authority and wisdom; his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all the mysteries of the world.
Su Fan was overjoyed, and immediately recognized the true name of the deity statue.
Su Fan took out his phone and started a live stream on Yinlang.
"Holy crap! Is the streamer going to authenticate another god statue?"
"By the way, it's been a long time since we've seen a streamer appraising statues of Chinese deities. Before, they were always participating in tournaments and such."
"Yes, it's rare for a streamer to do a live broadcast to authenticate statues of Chinese deities."
"Enough talk, start sending gifts!"
"Carnival 999+"
"999+ rocket planes".
In an instant, the screen in the live stream was filled with gift effects.
Su Fan quickly thanked all the big brothers and sisters in the live stream.
Su Fan expressed his gratitude for a while, then looked at Cheng Peng and said:
"Master Cheng, who do you want to form a contract with this deity? This is an SS-level Chinese deity. Its individual combat ability is not strong, but its overall ability can reach the level of an SSS-level Chinese deity."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Peng's face lit up with joy. An SS-level god?
Since the Cheng family fell from grace, it has been a long time since they have contracted with a god of such a high level.
Cheng Peng thought about it carefully and finally said, "I'll form a contract with this Chinese deity! I happen to have one more slot left for forming a contract with a deity."
Su Fan nodded. This deity was indeed quite suitable for a family head like Cheng Peng to form a contract with.
Su Fan said, "Patriarch Cheng, just repeat after me what I say!"
Cheng Peng nodded. Having watched so many of Su Fan's appraisal live streams, he knew what to do.
Cheng Peng took out a God-summoning Stone from his pocket, walked towards the statue of the god, and pressed it against his chest.
Su Fan then slowly spoke, and Cheng Peng repeated:
"Slaying demons and upholding justice, today we awaken the divine power!"
"With the golden whip in hand, I drive away evil spirits; with my name inscribed on the Investiture of the Gods!"
Cheng Peng's voice was loud and clear, and his incantation echoed in the secret room.
As the incantation was finished, the statue of the god suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and dust was shaken off.
Cheng Peng gripped the Summoning Stone tightly, his expression a mixture of tension and anticipation.
The light grew brighter and brighter, as if it were about to break free from the confines of the secret chamber.
Then Su Fan whispered something in Cheng Peng's ear, and Cheng Peng recited the last incantation.
"This junior, Cheng Peng, respectfully welcomes Jiang Taigong..."
"Jiang Ziya!!!"
As the final incantation was uttered, the light pierced through the secret chamber.
A moment later, the light gradually faded, and Jiang Ziya, dressed in a Taoist robe, wearing a bamboo hat, and holding a long whip and a scroll, appeared before everyone.
That long whip is the God-Slaying Whip, and the scroll is the Investiture of the Gods!
Both of these are extremely powerful artifacts, with the Investiture of the Gods being an even more top-tier artifact.
Although the Investiture of the Gods is not a top-tier offensive artifact.
However, the Investiture of the Gods represents the will of Heaven and the authority of the Heavenly Court, and is the only proof for the Heavenly Court to confer titles upon gods and immortals.
The list records the names of many immortals, gods, humans, and demons. Cheng Peng can summon their divine images left in the Investiture of the Gods to help him in battle.
Jiang Ziya flew into the sky and said loudly:
"The Chinese race! Jiang Taigong, Jiang Ziya!!!"
The sound spread in all directions.
After saying this, Jiang Ziya slowly returned to the ground.
He looked up at Su Fan, who met Jiang Ziya's gaze without fear.
What a joke! How could a mere SS-level god possibly frighten Su Fan?
Su Fan's system space contains a statue of a god of the level of a creator god; that's truly terrifying.
After observing Su Fan for a while, Jiang Ziya withdrew his gaze, his eyes revealing appreciation.
He muttered to himself, "Not bad, not bad, the younger generation is truly formidable."
Then, He turned His gaze to Cheng Peng, who had awakened Him, and after examining him closely for a while, He shook His head.
Ever since Jiang Ziya was awakened, Cheng Peng's gaze has been fixed on Jiang Ziya.
Seeing Jiang Ziya look at Su Fan with admiration, then shake his head at him in disappointment, Cheng Peng's forehead was covered in black lines.
No, is he really that bad?
He is, after all, an eighth-level God Master, so his strength should be greater than Su Fan's, right?
Why does Su Fan look so different?
Cheng Peng felt depressed for a while by himself.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya seemed to see through Cheng Peng's thoughts, and he spoke:
"Judging a person isn't just about strength. Although you have the strength of an eighth-tier Divine Master, your mind is restless. If you don't hone your skills, you can forget about breaking through to the ninth tier."
"As for that kid, he'll be more than just a ninth-tier expert in the future."
Jiang Ziya spoke this last sentence very softly, and no one heard him clearly.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Peng felt a chill run down his spine. He was about to retort when Su Fan secretly tugged at his sleeve.
Su Fan smiled and said to Jiang Ziya, "What Jiang Taigong said is absolutely right. Master Cheng will surely be able to devote himself to cultivation and improve his state of mind in the future."
Jiang Ziya nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Su Fan's response.
Then, Jiang Ziya looked at Cheng Peng and slowly said:
"Since you are going to awaken me, I will make a pact with you. But you must remember to act with caution in the future."
Cheng Peng instinctively wanted to refute again, but then he suddenly thought of the decline of the Cheng family. Originally, Old Mo had given him many opportunities to revive the family, but due to his impatience, everything was doomed.
Cheng Peng nodded hurriedly, his face full of seriousness.
Jiang Ziya nodded in satisfaction and said, "Extend your hand, and I will make a contract with you."
Cheng Peng stretched out his hand, and Jiang Ziya gently waved the Investiture of the Gods in his hand. A golden light flew out from the Investiture of the Gods and wrapped around Cheng Peng's outstretched hand.
As the light flashed, the runes of the contract appeared, and Cheng Peng felt a powerful force surge into his body, resonating strangely with his soul.
Then, Jiang Ziya's divine image slowly merged into Cheng Peng's body.
Contract complete!
Cheng Peng felt the new power within his body, his eyes filled with excitement.
He clenched his fist, as if he could see the hope of his family's revival.
Su Fan smiled and patted Cheng Peng on the shoulder, saying:
"Master Cheng, it's up to you now. With Jiang Ziya's help, your strength will increase, and the Cheng family's path to revival will be smoother."
Cheng Peng took a deep breath and nodded.
The viewers in the live stream congratulated Cheng Peng on successfully signing the contract.
"This is the head of the Kyoto family, a once-powerful head of a Shinto family, but it seems they have fallen on hard times."
"Now it seems, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!"
"That's right, he can just casually pull out an SS-level statue of a Chinese deity."
"Congratulations to the head of the Cheng family on his contract with an SS-rank deity!"
