Chapter 260 Splitting the Mountain
"By the way, which star did you prepare for your second brother?"
Nezha suddenly asked a question, which not only piqued Ao Bing's curiosity, but also made the three-headed dragons suppress their fear and look at Yang Jiao, who was particularly mysterious in their eyes.
"Of course..."
Yang Jiao spoke, whetting everyone's appetite, "It depends on fate—"
Nezha crossed his arms and asked, "Do you think I believe that?"
"I don't believe it either."
Ao Bing shook his head and patted the three-headed dragon's head with his tail: "Three-headed dragon, do you believe it?"
"I..." Meeting Yang Jiao's ambiguous smile and feeling the invisible pressure from Nezha and Ao Bing, the three-headed dragon was on the verge of tears. "How... can I not believe it?"
"It's boring."
Nezha shook his head, and Ao Bing ignored him. The three-headed dragon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seven stars in the Big Dipper, six stars in the Southern Dipper, or the Twenty-Eight Mansions?"
Ao Bing pressed on with great interest, and Nezha, equally curious, couldn't help but tease him: "You've been thinking about it a lot in private, haven't you? Which one have you set your sights on?"
Ao Bing's dragon scales were thick enough that he didn't blush. He stretched his neck and said, "Can't I think about it? Who can say for sure about these things?"
“That’s right,” Yang Jiao was the first to agree. “Ao Bing makes a lot of sense, so Erlang also has to consider fate.”
Nezha pouted. Although he didn't use lotus root to make his body and wasn't cunning enough, he wouldn't believe that. As for Ao Bing, he could leave it to fate, but Yang Jian had definitely already been arranged by Yang Jiao!
"So you don't treat Xingjun like family, even though I call you big brother."
Nezha was displeased, and Yang Jiao patted his head with amusement: "You call me 'Big Brother,' but you've been quite disrespectful to me quite a bit, Little Star Lord—"
Nezha blushed inexplicably, ignored him, turned to look at Yang Jian, and couldn't help but mutter, "Second Brother's enlightenment is taking too long... It doesn't look good..."
At the foot of Peach Mountain, Yang Jian stared intently at the dense golden stripes on the mountain, his face turning pale and large beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks, yet he refused to blink.
“It’s not a good thing to look too deeply into the rules of nature,” Yang Jiao shook his head. “No wonder he’s my brother; his aptitude is just so good.”
Nezha rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You and my Uncle Master Yu Ding must have a lot in common."
"Really? Let's talk about it next time we meet."
After Yang Jiao finished speaking with a smile, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "Let me lend him a hand."
The clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky. A star suddenly appeared, emitting a faint golden light, and transformed into a beam of light that fell directly on Yang Jian.
"This is?"
Yang Chan stared wide-eyed at the scene, reaching out to touch Yang Jian, but was gently repelled by the beam of light.
"Huh?"
He almost pulled off Yu Ding Zhenren's beard; this was the first time he had ever seen such a celestial phenomenon.
"The power of stars? How could it be the power of stars?"
Master Yuding circled the beam of light several times, looking at Yang Jian who was clearly absorbing the power of the stars inside, his head was about to explode: "The book didn't mention this situation, did I not read enough books?"
"Woof woof!"
The Celestial Hound also looked at Yang Jian with concern, and like Yang Chan, his outstretched hand was repelled.
"Uncle-Master, what is this? Why are the stars so bright in the daytime? Will it harm Second Brother?"
Yang Chan looked at a particularly bright star in the sky and couldn't help but ask a series of questions in a panic.
Master Yu Ding shook his head: "This isn't a bad thing, it's a great treasure. Yang Jian will only benefit from absorbing it, there won't be any harm. But..."
"But what?"
"But that doesn't make sense. How could Yang Jian have stirred up the stars? What exactly did he comprehend?"
Master Yuding's fan was practically sparking as he asked incredulously, "Am I really that good at judging people? How could I take on such a talented disciple right away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jian suddenly moved, absorbing all the beams of light around him into his body. Under the shocked gazes of the others, Yang Jian soared into the air.
Just then, a familiar voice came from afar: "Erlang, catch the gun!"
"Big brother!"
Yang Chan suddenly looked up and searched around. At that moment, a streak of light flashed across the sky. Without thinking too much, Yang Jian reached out and grabbed it. The spearhead, with its three blades standing upright and its blades as sharp as frost and snow, was now in his hand.
Yang Jian gripped the weapon firmly and began to wield it with fierce power, displaying his sharp edge.
Aiming at Peach Mountain, he cleaved and slashed, seemingly without using his full strength, yet the effect was earth-shattering. The entire mountain began to tremble.
In the scene that Yang Jian saw with his Heavenly Eye, the chains formed by the Heavenly Rules on Peach Mountain began to crack little by little, and soon vanished into nothingness with his movements.
A sudden earthquake shook the mountain, the dust settled, and in the shattered mountainside, Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou, separated by broken walls, held hands again and leaned against each other, looking up at the sky with tears in their eyes.
"We're out."
Yao Ji looked at Yang Tianyou, her eyes filled with tears and a smile. Yang Tianyou nodded in agreement: "Yes, they're out. The children did it."
"Father, Mother!"
"Erlang, Sanniang...Jiao'er!"
Yang Jian and Yang Chan rushed over first, and Yang Jiao came from afar with Nezha. The family was finally reunited.
...
"His Majesty!"
The Queen Mother hurriedly summoned the Jade Emperor from his seclusion.
"What's wrong?" The Jade Emperor frowned, puzzled.
"Yao Ji, Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou have been rescued!"
"What?"
The Jade Emperor was shocked and immediately stood up: "They've been rescued?"
Although the Queen Mother was reluctant to admit it, she still nodded.
"This, this..."
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but spin around on the spot. Whether it was for his own face, for the purple aura, or for the majesty of the Heavenly Rules, he couldn't accept this outcome: "What should we do?"
Turning to look at the Queen Mother, who was still sitting calmly in her seat, he asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and analyzed, "This oath was made in front of Laozi and the two Western Saints, so it cannot be broken... Of course, His Majesty is not one to break promises. Since Yao Ji has been rescued, she should be forgiven according to the agreement. But if she sets a bad precedent for the Heavenly Court and causes other troubles..."
"you mean?"
"Since I took charge of the Desire Realm, I've discovered quite a few things," the Queen Mother gently pointed outside the palace, "Those things in the Milky Way aren't exactly peaceful..."
