After Haotian tried several times to deduce the whereabouts of the Yang siblings but failed to obtain any useful information, he became increasingly suspicious.
Given his status and cultivation, how could he not deduce even a single useful piece of information from two mere mortals, especially those related to him by blood? If no one was behind this, it would be a huge joke.
But who is that person?
He didn't believe that ordinary gods and immortals would dare to oppose him, the Heavenly Emperor...
Just as Haotian was deducing the secrets of heaven, Yu Ding Zhenren had already led a boy into the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw this boy surnamed Yang, he seemed to see through his past and future in an instant, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Master Yuding immediately explained his purpose.
It turns out that he had been traveling through the prehistoric world when he happened to encounter heavenly soldiers and generals chasing Yao Ji and her family.
He was also compassionate, and sensed that he had a master-disciple relationship with Yang Jian, the second son of the Yang family, so he took action to save Yang Jian and his sister Yang Chan.
Now that he intends to accept Yang Jian as his disciple, he naturally needs to bring him here to pay respects to the patriarch...
Although Yuanshi Tianzun understood that Yang Jian's identity might be a problem, as the leader of the sect and a saint, he did not take Haotian and his wife to heart.
They were nothing more than servants beside their teacher.
Furthermore, Yang Jian's aptitude and background are both quite good, and he truly has a connection with his Chan Sect, so he would certainly not turn him away...
With the consent of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Yang Jian became a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Immortal and went with him to Jade Spring Mountain to cultivate Taoism.
Yang Jian soon learned that his mother had been suppressed under Peach Mountain by the Jade Emperor, and when he thought of his deceased father and elder brother, his heart was filled with hatred.
Therefore, he practiced even more diligently.
Time flies in the mountains, and countless years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Jian finally completed his apprenticeship, bid farewell to his teacher, and descended the mountain.
He met his sister at the foot of the mountain, and then led her to Peach Mountain to visit their mother, who was imprisoned there.
Seeing that there were guardian deities preventing him from approaching, he easily knocked the gods to the ground, relying on his cultivation level.
The brother and sister finally met Yao Ji, and the whole family wept bitterly across a peach mountain.
After crying, Yang Jian naturally didn't want his mother to suffer under the mountain, so he used his supernatural powers to try to break through Peach Mountain and rescue Yao Ji.
However, although his supernatural powers were not bad, the restrictions on Peach Mountain were set up by the Jade Emperor himself, so how could he possibly break them?
Therefore, he had no choice but to return to Yuquan Mountain to seek an audience with his teacher, the Jade Cauldron Immortal.
Yu Ding naturally did not disappoint him, and pointed him in the right direction.
It turns out that only the axe used by King Yu of the Great to split the mountain and control the floods can break the restrictions on Peach Mountain.
Only the human fortune and merit of the Mountain-Splitting Axe can break through the Heavenly Emperor's restrictions.
Now that King Yu has attained enlightenment, he resides in the Fire Cloud Cave beyond the heavens.
Knowing that Yang Jian's cultivation was still too shallow to go to the Chaos Realm, Yu Ding Zhenren personally led him to the Fire Cloud Cave outside the heavens, where Yang Jian went to ask King Yu for help.
When Yang Jian met Yu the Great, he told him his purpose with a sorrowful expression. Yu the Great, moved by his filial piety, told him the whereabouts of the mountain-splitting axe.
After expressing his gratitude profusely, Yang Jian took his leave and then returned to the prehistoric world with Jade Cauldron Immortal.
Next, following the directions of Yu the Great, Yang Jian indeed found the Mountain-Splitting Axe inside a temple dedicated to the King of Men.
So he took the axe and cleaved open Peach Mountain, rescuing Yao Ji from inside.
However, his actions angered the heavens, prompting the Jade Emperor to personally descend to the mortal realm.
When Yang Jian saw his enemy, he was like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. Before the Jade Emperor could even blame him, he grabbed his weapon and charged at the Jade Emperor.
Unfortunately, although he had a famous master, he had only cultivated for a few years and was no match for the Jade Emperor. In just one round, Yang Jian was knocked to the ground.
Seeing that the Jade Emperor was about to eliminate all the threat, Jade Cauldron Immortal had no choice but to step forward to save his disciple's life.
The Jade Emperor was very uncomfortable when he saw that it was actually a disciple of the Chan Sect who was making things difficult for him.
You must understand, he is also a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, and by all accounts, he is Yu Ding's senior uncle... They come from the same sect, so how could Yu Ding possibly oppose him?
Unfortunately, Jade Cauldron Immortal looked down on the Jade Emperor, who was merely a child, and did not regard him as one of the so-called family members. He casually rebuked the Jade Emperor a few times and then took Yang Jian and his family away.
The Jade Emperor has now regained most of his cultivation from his previous life, and if he were to take action, he might be able to capture Yu Ding and the others.
Unfortunately, his foundation in the Heavenly Court was shallow, and he still needed the support of the Chan Sect, especially the Primordial Celestial Venerable. Therefore, he dared not offend the Chan Sect.
But after returning to Heaven, he became increasingly angry, feeling that the Jade Emperor's actions were utterly tasteless.
He, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, is treated like this by even an ordinary third-generation disciple of the Xuanmen sect.
Can we really rely on this esoteric sect?
So, not long after he returned to the Heavenly Court, he went directly to the Chaos Realm to seek an audience with Hongjun Daoist...
When he met Hongjun Daoist at Zixiao Palace, he tearfully recounted his story. Hongjun Daoist offered a few words of comfort, assured him that he would definitely seek justice for him, and then sent him away...
Hongjun Daoist watched Haotian leave, then immediately made some calculations with his fingers. He then reached out and grabbed at the void, and suddenly a magical treasure appeared in his palm.
This treasure is the Investiture of the Gods, which he personally crafted after sensing the changes in the heavens. Along with the Investiture of the Gods, a God-Slaying Whip was also crafted.
"The time has come!" he murmured, his tone indifferent.
Since he attained enlightenment, thousands of years have passed, and he has only felt that his will is getting weaker and weaker, and the time he is conscious is getting shorter and shorter.
More often than not, his physical body is merely a vessel that carries the will of Heaven.
He knew that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before his Dao Fruit Primordial Spirit would completely merge into the Heavenly Dao, becoming one with it, and everything would vanish into nothingness.
This is what is known as the transformation of the Tao...
He had previously underestimated the drawbacks of forcibly merging with the Dao, thinking he could still escape the cage of the Heavenly Dao through his own strength.
Now, while he is still relatively lucid, he has no choice but to find a way to save himself.
Otherwise, we can't just sit here and wait for our will to be devoured by the Heavenly Dao...
He flicked his finger, and the golden bell hanging above the cloud bed rang out with a "dong" sound, and the boy entered in response.
After giving some instructions, the boy left Zixiao Palace, carrying a talisman, and traveled across the chaos to the prehistoric world.
He first visited Pangu and the Three Pure Ones in turn, and then went to the Heavenly Palace on Mount Buzhou.
Hu Le was still refining the Primordial Embryo when he heard the attendant from Zixiao Palace requesting an audience.
He had to stop practicing his magic and meet with the boy.
After the boy greeted them and paid his respects, he conveyed the will of Hongjun Daoren.
It turns out that Master Hongjun is about to open the Zixiao Palace and invites all the saints to come there to discuss matters.
Hu Le nodded after hearing this, said he understood, and then sent the boy away...
