Chapter 259 Splitting the Mountain: Reflections
The majestic Peach Mountain stands before us, like a lurking beast, exuding a chilling aura.
As Yang Jian gazed at the mountain that had sealed his parents away for so many years, his eyes instantly reddened, and hot tears welled up uncontrollably, sliding down his cheeks.
"Father, Mother, Erlang is here..."
Once, due to his lack of strength, he was filled with fear and helplessness when facing this mountain. He could only bury the thought of saving his parents deep in his heart and spent countless nights in pain and self-blame.
Now, after countless hardships in his cultivation, he has gained enough power. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he is filled with excitement and anticipation at the prospect of reuniting with his parents.
"Second Brother."
Yang Chan looked at him excitedly. Yang Jian turned around, nodded to Yang Chan, and then punched Taoshan.
With punch after punch, golden runes appeared on Peach Mountain, sending Yang Jian flying.
"Second Brother!"
Yang Chan supported him, looking at him with concern.
Yang Jian frowned, did not speak to Yang Chan, activated his Heavenly Eye, and continued to attack Taoshan, but was still repelled by Taoshan.
It was as if the water had been swallowed up without causing the slightest ripple in the ocean.
Yang Jian was unwilling to give up. Under Yang Chan's worried gaze, he sat down on the ground and said, "Keep an eye on my body."
Having said that, he closed his eyes, and the third eye between his brows flashed. Yang Jian's soul left his body and entered the interior of Peach Mountain.
Why did you come here again?
In the enclosed left room, Yao Ji stroked Xiao Wu's fur and asked with amusement.
“I don’t like being with Xiao Liu, he’s too noisy.”
Xiao Wu lay on Yao Ji's lap, leisurely swaying its tail. The reason it gave made Yao Ji's lips curl into a smile. These two little ones were never quiet when they were together.
If they say Xiao Liu is noisy, it's probably because Xiao Wu lost another argument.
But the considerate Yao Ji didn't expose him. She gently stroked his soft fur and comforted him, "Alright, then you can stay with me..."
Yang Jian, who had transformed into a streak of light, entered and, upon seeing this scene, felt his heart swell with emotion and couldn't help but cry out, "Mother..."
Yao Ji looked up in surprise at the sound, saw the grown-up boy in front of her, and hesitated before speaking, "Er Lang..."
Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Mother,” Yang Jian appeared beside her in a flash, “It’s me, Erlang has come, Erlang has come to save you.”
"Erlang, Erlang..." Yao Ji couldn't help but hug him. Even with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu around, she and Yang Tianyou weren't having a hard time. But for the past three years, she couldn't help but worry about the three children.
When Yao Ji suddenly saw Yang Jian, her second son, who was much more mature and composed than before, she couldn't imagine how much suffering he had endured.
"Mother, don't cry, I'll get you out of here right now!"
Yang Jian reached out to wipe away Yao Ji's tears, grabbed the chains binding her and was about to pull hard when Xiao Wu slapped him away.
"Unlocking these chains won't help!"
"Why?"
Yang Jian frowned, and Xiao Wu sighed: "These are just ordinary chains that restrain magical power. What truly suppresses them is Peach Mountain, which is the manifestation of the Heavenly Laws. If you can't split the mountain, Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou will never be able to escape."
"What you need to deal with is not chains, but mountains and divine laws."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian clenched his fist.
"Mother, wait for me, I'll go and split the mountain open."
"Erlang, Erlang," Yaoji held his hand tightly and shook her head, "Erlang, I'm so happy you could come. That's a heavenly law, it can't be broken..."
“I can!” Yang Jian interrupted her. “I can, Mother. You have to believe me. I can get you and Father out of here, and then we’ll go find our eldest brother together…”
Hearing Yang Jian's explanation, Xiao Wu's wagging tail froze. Ah... Master hasn't even met Yang Jian yet...
When feeling guilty, one wants to find something to do. Xiao Wu interrupted their conversation by saying, "It's okay, why don't you let Erlang try? With Xiao Liu and me here, we won't let anything happen to him."
With Xiao Wu's words and Yang Jian's resolute attitude, Yao Ji stopped trying to persuade him.
"Mother, wait for me, Erlang can do it."
Yang Jian got up. He didn't plan to go see Yang Tianyou again. He didn't want to hear Yang Tianyou's advice to dissuade him again. He wanted to spend all his time splitting the mountain and rescue his parents as soon as possible!
When Yang Jian returned, he opened his eyes and met Yang Chan's concerned gaze. He subconsciously smiled and said, "Third Sister, I've seen Mother."
"Really? How is Mother?"
Yang Jian nodded: "Don't worry, Mother has Xiao Wu to keep her company, and Father has Xiao Liu. They're all fine. I'll split the mountain open right away, and our family will be reunited."
"good!"
Yang Chan looked at Yang Jian with trust.
Yang Jian channeled his energy again, slashing and hacking at Peach Mountain, but to no avail. Not only did he fail to damage Peach Mountain, but he also suffered a backlash and was injured.
"how so?"
Yang Chan, supporting the injured Yang Jian, couldn't help but feel sad: "Is it possible that Peach Mountain can't be split open?"
Yang Jian couldn't help but look at Master Yu Ding beside him: "Master, why? I have clearly already broken through."
Master Yu Ding frowned, shook his fan, pondered for a while, and said, "This Peach Mountain is formed from the Heavenly Laws. It is as solid as a fortress and as heavy as Mount Tai. It cannot be broken by ordinary divine power."
"What should we do then?"
Yang Jian couldn't help but press for more information.
Master Yu Ding stroked his beard and enlightened him, saying, "Good disciple, think about it. What you have comprehended is the power of protection. For you, protection is more powerful than offense. You must find a way to dissolve this mountain."
"Dissolve?"
Yang Jian looked thoughtfully at his hands: "The power of protection..."
"Use your heart and your love to melt Peach Mountain. Peach Mountain is a mountain, yet it is not a mountain. You cannot split Peach Mountain because although you have love in your heart, it is only small love. Only by transforming small love into great love can the mountain be opened for you."
At this moment, Xiao Wu's words also appeared in Yang Jian's mind, and he finally realized that he was not splitting the mountain, but fighting against the Heavenly Laws!
Yang Chan, like Yang Jian, fell into deep thought. At this moment, Master Yu Ding suddenly burst into laughter: "As expected of me, your summary is too insightful!"
The sudden sound startled Yang Chan. She sighed helplessly, turned to look at Yang Jian, who was staring motionless at Peach Mountain, and asked in confusion, "Second Brother, what are you looking at?"
"I am looking at the mountains, and at the heavenly laws."
Yang Jian's third eye on his forehead emitted a faint white light. At this moment, Yang Jian, who truly understood the meaning of Peach Mountain, looked at the great mountain and saw countless dense golden characters, which were the rules of heaven, order, and the great way.
"Huh?"
Master Yuding, fanning himself, approached and looked at Yang Jian, whose eyes were wide open and unblinking. He exclaimed in surprise, "He's already attained enlightenment? No wonder he's my disciple! Hahaha, I truly am the number one master in the Three Realms..."
On a distant mountain peak, Nezha turned his head to look at Yang Jiao, and asked in confusion, "Are you just going to watch like this? Can't you even split this mountain open?"
Yang Jiao stared at Yang Jian's figure and said softly, "I always keep my word. I said I'd let Erlang chop it, so I'll let Erlang chop it. He can do it."
Nezha looked at Yang Jian, who was lost in enlightenment in the distance, and couldn't help but nod: "Second Brother's aptitude is indeed excellent!"
Ao Bing can't stand the word "aptitude" right now. He reflexively raised his dragon head, startling the three-headed dragon on its "base," who gasped, "Ahhh! It's moving! There's a dragon on its head! The dragon is moving! Ahhh!"
Who understands what it feels like to be a dragon on top of a jiao! A pirated product meets the genuine article, a cosplayer meets the real deal, a collateral branch meets the direct descendant... He must have used up all his courage in this life just to keep his legs from giving way!
