Yang Jian's blank decree couldn't be used too early. It had to be used after the great calamity and before the apotheosis. Only those who could live until then could use this decree.
For example, Nezha and Huang Tianhua had already entered the Great Tribulation and were famous on the God roll. They were unlike Yang Jian, who had been an "outsider" from the beginning. He did not have a name on the God roll, so he could control the God roll.
If he used the decree now and sealed Nezha and the others into the Celestial Court, their names on the God roll would naturally disappear.
If he encountered any danger in the future and his relatives and friends who had been sealed into the Celestial Court by Yang Jian died, it would really be over. He would not be able to enter the God roll.
Therefore, Yang Jian decided to leave the decree given by the Jade Emperor's uncle until after the Ten Thousand Immortal Array. At that time, there should not be too many powerful enemies. He could use this opportunistic method.
In order to protect the cultivation paths of his close junior brothers, Yang Jian had put in a lot of effort.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Long Ji picked up some food for Yang Jian. The way she looked at Yang Jian made Yang Jian feel familiar.
Yes, it was similar to the way Yohime looked at him.
What Yang Jian did not know was that Long Ji had been banished to the mortal world because she had not hesitated to anger the Heaven Queen back then. She had secretly gone to the Jade Emperor to plead for mercy for Yang Jian.
Due to some reasons that outsiders did not know, the relationship between the Heaven Queen and the Jade Emperor was not harmonious.
Long Ji was born to the Heaven Queen and the Jade Emperor. Her identity was special and her background was extraordinary. However, she had always been ignored by the Heaven Queen.
Moreover, Long Ji had a soft heart since she was young. She often begged for mercy for the fairies who had made mistakes in the Jade Pool, causing the Heaven Queen to become more and more distant from her.
When Yang Jian began to roam the Primordial World, Long Ji heard about this cousin. She knew that he was Yohime's son and was worried about him. She always wanted to meet him.
When Yang Jian barged into the Celestial Court, Long Ji ignored the Heaven Queen's ban and went to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. After the Heaven Queen found out, she reprimanded her severely. She even stripped her of her princess identity and made her serve tea like a fairy in the palace.
During the Immortal Peach Meet, Long Ji had been banished to the mortal world by the Heaven Queen because of a drunken male immortal. She had been sealed in the Phoenix Mountain to raise green phoenixes for the Celestial Court.
Although the male immortal who had failed to tease Long Ji had disappeared from the Celestial Court, he had still, he had not been there, he had not been, he had, Heaven, Celestial Emperor, and Ji, the Celestial Emperor Dynasty, Dragon, Emperor.
Now, Long Ji had taken the risk to enter the God-Conferment Tribulation. She seemed to have the intention of returning to the Celestial Court.
If she was just here to help Yang Jian, Yang Jian would not believe it.
However, Long Ji's concern, love, and doting on him could not be wrong. Yang Jian did not feel disgusted by her concern. Instead, he felt a little happy.
After the banquet, they chatted at night.
The two of them said everything. Yang Jian did not treat her as an outsider. He said many things to Long Ji that he usually did not say to others.
Long Ji also started to talk to Yang Jian. She slowly poured out her frustrations in the mountains and her frustrations in the Celestial Court to Yang Jian. She almost made Yang Jian cover his face and cry …
It's not easy for Eldest Cousin.
She was born in the Emperor's family and the Emperor's family in the Three Realms. All she thought about was how to make her parents reconcile.
"What exactly is the reason for their disagreement?"
Yang Jian asked in confusion. He had long been interested in this matter. Unfortunately, there were too few people who knew about it. He was too embarrassed to ask the Saint about it.
Long Ji smiled helplessly. "If I know the root cause of the illness, I'll just take the right medicine … I don't know the details. It seems to be related to cultivation."
"Cultivation?"
Yang Jian recalled the supreme mysterious technique that the Jade Emperor's uncle cultivated. As long as he was slightly injured, he would have to reincarnate and cultivate again. Moreover, every time he reincarnated, he would become stronger …
Could it be? Could it be that when the Jade Emperor reincarnated, he would have wives and concubines, which caused the Queen Mother to be jealous and hate him because of love?
She should not be so petty. The Jade Emperor and the Heaven Queen were not mortals. They were Connate mighty figures.
Could it be that they were fighting for control of the Celestial Court?
Apart from satisfying their desire for authority, what other benefits could controlling the Celestial Court bring? In the eyes of many mighty figures of the Dao Sect, that was a "position" that would delay their cultivation.
"Forget it. We won't be able to figure out their affairs after all."
It was already dawn outside the window. Yang Jian said, "Sister, go and rest first. I'll order the Qi soldiers to find trouble with the Shang army."
Long Ji stood up and bowed. She said gently, "Don't hold back in everything. It's always right to think more."
Yang Jian smiled helplessly. "You're even more long-winded than Mother."
Long Ji grumbled softly and turned to leave.
Yang Jian calculated his age in his heart. It seemed that Long Ji was older than Yohime … Well, what's the point of being a fairy?
They are all Dao Fruits of Longevity and are forever young. What's the difference between being a few hundred years old and being tens of thousands of years old?
Yang Jian still had some preconceived notions. That was also some proof that he had obtained from the future. It did not matter.
After chatting with Long Ji for an entire night, Yang Jian felt that his energy, vitality, and spirit were rather complete. The fatigue from the battle with the Heavenly Seal was also swept away.
That seemed to be some special Dharma powers of Princess Long Ji. No wonder she was conferred the title of Red Luan Star …
Yang Jian planned for Long Ji in his heart. There was no need to think about marrying Hong Jin. Whoever dared to be a matchmaker would be slapped by Yang Jian.
It was not easy for him to have a cousin who took care of him. How could he be forced to marry an idiot by someone who was "thinking about the overall situation"? If it was a top expert like Kong Xuan, he could be his brother-in-law.
Speaking of which, Kong Xuan had yet to determine his gender …
A messenger rushed over and knelt down to report.
"Prime Minister! 300,000 elite soldiers are ready! The generals are already waiting in front of the formation! "
"They're in good spirits," Yang Jian said with a smile. He raised his eyebrows and took a step out of the military headquarters. In two steps, he appeared in front of the military formation and sat on his war chariot.
He raised his hand and waved. The flag bearer gave the order. 300,000 troops moved forward at the same time and charged towards the Shang camp.
According to the results of the discussion between Yang Jian and the generals at the banquet last night, they would not fight the Shang army head-on today. They would only suppress the morale of the Shang army. It would be best if they could capture and injure the general of the Shang army, Hong Jin.
He would attack the camp at night and defeat the Shang army in one fell swoop. He would then send a surprise troop to follow the deserters of the Shang army and charge into the Sishui Pass at the back.
Yang Jian was not afraid of a mere Hong Jin. Therefore, he was calm and composed along the way.
On the other side, after the scouts of the Shang army discovered the traces of the Zhou army, the Shang army immediately mobilized the army out of the camp. There were nearly a million people. Dozens of military formations spread out and almost bordered two cities.
In the main tent, Hong Jin looked at Shen Gongbao, who was drinking tea leisurely at the side. He asked softly, "Shenggong, what should we do?"
"The Zhou army only sent 300,000 troops. General Weiwu has a million troops. Why are you panicking?"
"We are naturally not afraid of them with our military strength. However, there are no experts in our army … Shenggong is naturally an expert, but …"
Hong Jin swallowed his words. He could not say that he could not do it even if he died.
Yesterday, when he saw Yang Jian send the Heaven Seal flying with a punch, Hong Jin was really scared out of his wits. Last night, he tossed and turned. He kept having the thought of escaping to the East Ocean and joining the sect if he could not do it.
However, Jie School would probably not tolerate him if he escaped in the face of battle …
"General Weiwu, don't be anxious. Let's see what Yang Jian wants to do." Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "If he challenges us, what can we do if we don't go out?"
"If that's the case, what will happen to the morale of the army?"
"There will definitely be brave people with great rewards. Later, Great General only needs to distribute the gold and silver that His Majesty has rewarded to the various armies. How can the soldiers not work hard?"
Hong Jin deliberated carefully and felt more confident.
That's right. He would stay in the array formation and not go out. Yang Jian and the others were afraid of the negative karma of killing mortals. He could naturally rest easy.
Just as he was thinking, a scout outside reported that the Zhou Army was already three kilometers away.
Hong Jin and Shen Gongbao left the tent at the same time. Hong Jin mounted his mount, and Shen Gongbao rode on the black leopard. The two of them quickly arrived in front of the formation.
"Drum!"
Hong Jin gave the order. The Shang army drummed three times. The army advanced a hundred steps forward, and the might of a million troops immediately appeared.
He looked up and saw a few figures floating in the sky. They were naturally the immortals of Chanism in the Zhou Army.
Nezha had already arrived with the vanguard army. Before the Zhou Army could beat the drums and shout, a sharp aura surged towards them, causing the expressions of many Shang soldiers to change.
At noon, the Zhou Army set up a battle formation and faced the Shang army three kilometers away.
Yang Jian sat on the war chariot and looked at Xiao Lan, who was sitting opposite him with her eyes closed. He smiled and said, "Wake up. Who should go out first?"
"Ask your cousin." Xiao Lan snorted and hugged her arms to continue pretending to sleep.
Yang Jian was speechless. She had been like this along the way. It seemed that Long Ji's teasing words yesterday had really angered her.
Even if she wore men's clothes, no matter how brilliant her disguise was, and no matter how close her bearing was to men, she could not change her petty nature …
"Where is Tianhua?"
Yang Jian shouted. Huang Tianhua rode the jade Qilin forward to listen to the order.
"Go and challenge Hong Jin. Size up Hong Jin's abilities."
"Yes!" Huang Tianhua agreed happily. The jade Qilin turned around and soared into the sky, landing in the middle of the two armies.
Huang Tianhua hugged Mo Xie's sword and shouted at the Shang army, "Commander of the Shang Army, report your name!"
In the army formation, Hong Jin looked at Shen Gongbao. Shen Gongbao secretly sent a voice transmission. "This person is Huang Tianhua. He's probably your weakest opponent today. Wei Hu and Nezha are stronger than him."
Hong Jin took a deep breath and shouted, "I will not change my name. I am the mighty general of the King, Hong!"
"Too much nonsense!" Huang Tianhua shouted. His clear voice revealed a sense of battle intent. "Come out and fight!"
The corners of Hong Jin's mouth twitched. It was unknown who gave him the courage to make up his mind. His figure soared into the sky and landed in front of the formation.
Huang Tianhua raised his eyebrows. When Hong Jin landed and stabilized himself, Mo Xie's sword flashed with several sword beams and shot towards Hong Jin's throat and chest.
With a bang, green smoke rose. Hong Jin's figure disappeared and he steadily dodged the sword beam. Only a triangular flag was left in place with Dao runes circulating on it.
