When they were drinking tea in Zhuoyue Tower for the third hour, Fang Jian realized that Yan Ying had successfully entered the path of the Immortal Tribulation.

He then said to the Black Python Immortal, "The swallow tassel is ready, let's go back."

Upon hearing this, the Black Python Immortal quickly stood up and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, my legs are numb from sitting."

So the two of them got up and left Zhuoyue Tower. When they returned to their residence, they saw Yan Ying coming out. At this moment, he had the aura equivalent to that of a true immortal, but there was a purple-black magic mark between his eyebrows.

"Master, I've done it." Yan Ying came to Fang Jian and bowed.

Fang Jian nodded slightly and said, "Although you believe in the Demon Lord and have entered the Tribulation Immortal Realm, you have also become a demon disciple. In order to avoid trouble in the future, do not release demonic energy carelessly."

Yan Ying said, "Yes, Master."

After saying that, Yan Ying took out a jade belt and wrapped it around her forehead, just enough to cover the devil mark.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. Even though you have become a Tribulation Immortal, I don't care how you fight with cultivators in the future, but you are not allowed to harm mortal spirits. Otherwise, even if it means breaking the agreement, I will kill you. Do you understand?" Fang Jian said seriously.

The so-called mortal spirits do not just include mortals, but all intelligent creatures in the mortal world.

Cultivators are not included in this category, as the path to immortality is difficult. Once one has entered the path of cultivation, one must be prepared to encounter various dangers and perish at any time. If one wants to gain the power of immortality, one must also bear the risks involved, right?

"You are a robbery immortal. When you practice magic, the demonic energy will definitely leak out. Go find a quiet place outside the city to practice." Fang Jian said.

After saying that, Fang Jian took out a bag of robbery jade and handed it to the Black Python Immortal. "Old Black, go to the market and buy some daily necessities, pills, spiritual herbs, talismans, and magical instruments."

"Okay." The Black Python Immortal took the bag and turned to leave.

Not long after, the Black Python Immortal returned and patted the storage bag on his waist as he said to Fang Jian, "I've bought everything."

Fang Jian asked, "Are there any remaining Jieyu?"

"No." The Black Python Immortal said, "The Jieyu you gave me is not even enough."

Fang Jian showed a smile that showed he saw through everything, but the Black Python Immortal's face was impervious to fire and water. Instead, he asked, "Are we leaving the city now?"

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Leave the city."

One hundred and seventy miles east of Dayong Fairy City, in a quiet valley, three thatched cottages rise from the ground.

Beside the pool in the valley, sword lights flashed and roared with demonic energy, occasionally sweeping up patches of water light.

Looking at Yan Ying who had already started practicing swordsmanship, Fang Jian said to the Black Python Immortal, "Keep an eye on him here. An old friend of mine is here."

The Black Python Immortal asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Fang Jian pointed to a golden cloud above the valley and said, "We're not going anywhere."

When the Black Python Immortal saw the golden cloud, he immediately responded. Then Fang Jian walked to his hut and raised his hand to wave at the golden cloud above.

The next moment, the Black Python Immortal saw the golden cloud dissipate in an instant, and a golden light fell in front of Fang Jian, transforming into a round Taoist with loose hair.

The Taoist bowed to Fang Jian, and Fang Jian bowed in return. Then the two of them entered the thatched cottage. The Black Python Immortal withdrew his gaze and continued to watch Yan Ying practice sword.

Inside the thatched cottage, Fang Jian and the Taoist sat down and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhenwu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

It turned out that this Taoist was the Great Emperor Zhenwu who had come from the lower realm. The Great Emperor Zhenwu said, "Great Emperor Hongqing, do you know about the story of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King avoiding disaster?"

Fang Jian said, "I've heard a little bit about it. Who recommended the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to the Great Celestial Venerable to be the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu said, "It's the Jade Sky Divine Mother."

"Her?" Fang Jian frowned slightly and asked, "Why did she recommend the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu shook his head and said, "I don't know that either, but does the Great Emperor Hongqing know what level of Taoism the Jade Sky Goddess is at now?"

Fang Jian asked, "What kind of Taoism?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu said, "Daluo Jinxian."

"Impossible," Fang Jian said immediately, "If she had attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, why didn't any strange phenomena appear within the Three Realms?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu said, "I have also consulted the Supreme Lord Lao about this matter. Laojun only said that there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the Dao Fruit of the Great Luo Golden Immortal is that she originally had power, but it was sealed away."

Fang Jian's expression grew serious upon hearing this, and he asked, "What did the Great Emperor Zixiao say?"

"The Great Emperor Zixiao..." The Great Emperor Zhenwu shook his head and said, "The Great Emperor Zixiao's attitude is unclear. Now the Jade Sky Goddess is representing the Great Celestial Venerable in a struggle for power with the Great Emperor Zixiao. Although I am in charge of the Taisu Palace on behalf of the Great Emperor Hongqing, I am not involved in the current situation."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "You are right to do this."

At this point, Fang Jian pondered and said, "So, this Jade Sky Goddess also has a history. Do you know the origins of her previous incarnation?"

Emperor Zhenwu looked at Fang Jian and said, "Lord Hongqing, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Fang Jian said, "There's nothing to hide. Just tell me."

The Great Emperor Zhenwu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Laojun said he had no idea about the origins of Jade Sky Goddess, so he asked me to ask you, the Great Emperor. He said your origins are extraordinary..."

Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then said, "I didn't expect that Laojun even knew about this. My origins are not something to be hidden from others."

After saying that, Fang Jian told the Great Emperor Zhenwu about his origin as 'Jiu Tian Xuan Nu'. After hearing this, the Great Emperor Zhenwu finally realized that the reason why Jiu Tian Xuan Nu had always been so special to Fang Jian was because of this relationship.
