Tongtian Jiaozhu accepted Zhao Gongming while preaching at Biyou Palace and passed on the arts of the Jie Sect. After the Investiture war began, the Jie disciples came down one after another to help the Shang armies, and Zhao Gongming left the mountain for the field as well.
When fellow disciples had been killed or sent to the Investiture List in a steady stream, Tongtian led his followers into the Zhuxian and Ten Thousand Immortals formations. As those formations were broken, Zhao Gongming fought with the rest of the Jie immortals, and was taken, killed or driven from the field.
