In front of the South-Heaven Gate.
A cloud brought two gods. The Four Heavenly Kings, who were guarding the gate, broke out in a cold sweat. It also made the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals straighten their backs.
On the cloud, Yang Jian and Yun Xiao stood on the left and right. They were slightly further apart.
"Uncle-Master, enter by yourself."
Yun Xiao glanced at Yang Jian, as if she was confused as to why Yang Jian did not enter the South-Heaven Gate.
She had already been persuaded by Yang Jian to help Yang Jian and go to the Black Spirit Kingdom to do something similar to Kong Xuan. Yang Jian had spent so much effort and finally found a general for the Black Spirit Kingdom.
She did not ask how Yang Jian had broken through the Grand Pure One's restriction, but she knew that Yang Jian's strength far exceeded her imagination.
This made Yang Jian a little disappointed. Yun Xiao did not want to fight, so he lost a chance to investigate his own strength.
"You're not going in?"
"No, I'll tell you some things later."
Yun Xiao nodded gently. Her immortal robe swayed gently as she walked towards the South-Heaven Gate.
"Ahem!" Moliqing mustered up his courage and shouted, "Please stop, Lady Yun Xiao. Without an official document from the Celestial Court, Itinerant Immortals who are not from the Celestial Court are not allowed to enter and exit the South …"
Yang Jian chuckled from behind. Moliqing immediately swallowed his words. The Four Heavenly Kings looked at each other and retreated hesitantly.
"Uncle-Master Yun Xiao is only here to visit her brother and sister. You can just report to the Lingxiao Hall of the Golden Clouds." Yang Jian's lazy voice rang out. "You just need to tell the immortals in the hall that I'm not standing here with my incarnation."
"This … Yes."
The four Mo brothers really did not know what to do. They actually bowed to Yang Jian like they were subordinates.
Actually, it did not matter. At the end of the day, the strong were respected in the Primordial World. Yang Jian had the right to accept their bow.
The group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals dispersed like the tide. Such a scene naturally did not scare Lady Yun Xiao. She walked lightly and floated into the Southern Heavenly Gate. Then, her figure flashed and disappeared.
The Four Heavenly Kings hurriedly ordered someone to report to the Lingxiao King Palace. Let's not talk about the tremors in the palace for now.
Meanwhile, Yang Jian found a nice corner beside the Southern Heavenly Gate and sat on a stone stool. He sat on the clouds and stared at the sky in a daze.
Outside the Celestial Court was a boundless sea of stars.
The stars were hanging in the void, and a silver Milky Way was rushing past. The Milky Way was like a miniature version of the River of True Spirit in the Untainted Land. Of course, there was no connection between the two. It was just that Yang Jian thought too much about it.
The stars, the sun, and the moon, the place where mortals fantasize, the place where cultivators go in a daze.
He had seen Fairy Chang 'e's true appearance in the moon. Yang Jian had also met Daoist Lu Ya of the Golden Crow race that was related to the Sun.
Speaking of which, Daoist Lu Ya did not know where he had gone. However, that person's actions were suppressed by Daoist Tian Yan. He should not cause too much trouble.
As for Lu Ya's mother, Xihe of the past or the current Moon Lord, Fairy Chang 'e, who was more beautiful …
Yang Jian naturally did not forget that the earliest information he knew about those powerful enemies was that there would be a calamity of "life from death" in the Primordial World. Those mighty figures who had once stunned generations of cultivators in the Primordial World seemed to have a chance to return after they died.
Unfortunately, he returned as an enemy.
The change in the Nether Stream was clearly related to the calamity of "life from death".
Yang Jian sighed helplessly. Could it be that the Primordial World was too weak as a whole? It was so weak that the powerful enemies could not be bothered to appear and wanted to destroy the Primordial World with such a method …
He had underestimated them a little too much.
Yang Jian clenched his fists. There was a little golden light surging on his fists. The golden light hid the Seven-colored Xuan Gang, like a longsword hidden in its sheath.
"The fourth level … can be considered to have reached the real bottleneck."
Yang Jian muttered softly.
The speed at which the Indestructible Golden Body Incantation advanced made Yang Jian in disbelief.
In fact, thinking about it carefully, Yang Jian's body had long been pushed to a terrifying realm by the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. There was no need for him to temper it again. He only needed to "replenish" it slightly, and his cultivation level would naturally advance faster.
In fact, Yang Jian was constantly thinking about how to strengthen himself with two mysterious techniques at the same time.
Just as he was in a daze, the Milky Way in the distant starry sky stirred up waves. A group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals rode on Heavenly Horses and roamed out of the Heavenly River, rushing towards the South-Heaven Gate.
Even the navy in charge of the Heavenly River still had to go through the gate to return to the Celestial Court. They could not go back through the Heavenly River.
That was the rule of the Celestial Court.
Coincidentally, Yang Jian was on the path of the Heavenly Horses. Moreover, it was difficult for Yang Jian to detect it with his spiritual senses. It was only when the group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals approached that they discovered the abnormality of the South-Heaven Gate.
A figure sat in the clouds. He could be seen with the naked eye, but he could not be seen with his spiritual senses.
The guards of the South-Heaven Gate changed their usual lax demeanor. At that moment, their bodies were tense and their auras condensed, as if they were waiting for the Jade Emperor's inspection.
"Stop!"
The Heavenly General in charge of the Heavenly River Navy shouted, and the navy quickly pulled the reins.
The Heavenly General, who had just been promoted a few hundred years ago, was majestic and proud. His handsome face was filled with joy.
He was dressed in silver scale armor and sat on a black horse.
The spring breeze caressed his handsome face, and he carried the Nine-Toothed Harrow on his shoulder.
If one were to ask about his background, it would be that he was the "new noble" of the Celestial Court in the past few hundred years. He had been appointed as the Dao Sect's Protector by the Tushita Palace. He was known as the Four Saints of the Big Dipper and served as the commander of the Heavenly River Navy in the Celestial Court. He was Marshal Tian Peng!
Seeing an immortal sitting in the cloud blocking his way, Tian Peng did not feel that he was superior to other immortals just because he was the Heavenly River Commander, the Four Saints of the Big Dipper, the Dao Sect's Protector, and the Marshal of the Celestial Court. He, Tian Peng, was not such an overbearing immortal!
Hence, Tian Peng rode forward on the Heavenly Horse and said warmly, "Immortal, please make way. I'm sorry for offending you."
"Oh?" The person sitting in the clouds raised his head and looked over. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Marshal Tian Peng, who was on horseback, was stunned at first. Then, he was speechless. He looked at Yang Jian, who was sitting in the cloud, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Tian Peng thought, Don't speak, don't speak. Let's pretend that we don't know each other, Big Boss …
Yang Jian smiled and said, "I was wondering who was so impressive. It's actually Marshal Tian Peng. We meet again."
Tian Peng's body trembled and he almost fell off his horse. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were listless.
It's over. His "official career" that he had just enjoyed for a while …
Who is Yang Jian? That was a thorn in the Jade Emperor's heart. Anyone who was related to Yang Jian, such as those who had become gods in Chanism, could not even touch the door of the Lingxiao King Palace.
Not to mention being close to Yang Jian, as long as he spoke to Yang Jian, how could Tian Peng not know what would happen to him in the Celestial Court?
Even if he would not punish him openly, he would definitely suppress him secretly …
"It's been tough!" Tian Peng let out a long sigh and gave up on himself. He jumped off the Heavenly Horse and bowed to Yang Jian. "Greetings, Perfected Lord. I was blind to have eyes. I disturbed your cultivation just now. Please don't blame me, Perfected Lord. "
How could Yang Jian not see through Tian Peng's tricks? However, Yang Jian did not expose him. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. The world has changed. Marshal Tian Peng is beaming with joy. Did something good happen again?"
"Perfected Lord, please excuse me. I'm just young and inexperienced …"
Tian Peng was instantly embarrassed. Just as he was about to find a topic to take a detour and leave, Yang Jian took the initiative to say, "Marshal, are you patrolling the Heavenly River?"
"It's my duty to patrol the Heavenly River every ten years."
"In that case, I won't delay your work, Marshal." Yang Jian stood up and made an inviting gesture. Then, he took a step forward and appeared ten thousand feet away, making way for the cloud path.
Gulp …
Marshal Tian Peng swallowed hard.
Who would dare to take the path that you have made way for!?!
Canopy bowed to Yang Jian and ordered the entire army to open another cloud path to the side. They bypassed Yang Jian and headed towards the South-Heaven Gate majestically, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid him.
"This Bajie really lives up to his reputation."
Yang Jian smiled and shook his head. He placed his hands behind his back and thought about the discussion he had with Goddess Nuwa hundreds of years ago. He did not know how Nuwa had arranged it.
He could not delay his return to the Primordial World for too long. He had to rush back to continue cultivating the Invincible Golden Body Technique. He could not "see" the birth of the monkey with his own eyes.
However, what his incarnation saw was no different from what his real body saw.
The Celestial Court's navy quickly disappeared at the South-Heaven Gate. Yang Jian closed his eyes and pondered. In fact, his mind had returned to his incarnation under the Qilin Cliff.
He let his incarnation return to the mouth of the Guanjiang River and calculated the time. There were only a hundred years left until the earth-shattering day that he and Goddess Nuwa had set.
A hundred years.
There should not be too many changes in the Primordial World. It should be about the same as now.
The stone monkey had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for more than ten periods. After being discovered by the Saints, they used the array formation to gather spiritual energy for the stone embryo.
To put it bluntly, the stone embryo should be considered the first Connate lifeform born since ancient times.
As long as he trained it properly and transformed the accumulated spiritual energy of the stone embryo into Dharma powers, an expert would be born quickly …
The original stone monkey had been schemed against by the Buddhists. Now, apart from being schemed against by the Buddhists, the stone monkey also carried the expectations of Yang Jian and Nuwa.
Perhaps the conflict between the two factions could give it a chance of survival.
After waiting for two days, Yun Xiao arrived on a cloud. When he looked at Yang Jian, his gaze was a little different. It was a little less cold.
"Let's go."
She only said one word, but Yang Jian smiled happily and took out the black shuttle.
"Uncle-Master, please enter."
Yun Xiao frowned slightly and said, "Go back first. I'll take a look at the scenery along the way."
"That's good too." Yang Jian cupped his hands at Yun Xiao and said, "See you in Xuandu City."
Yun Xiao nodded. Yang Jian did not delay. He entered the black shuttle and drove it away from the Primordial World.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Yun Xiao's spiritual senses.
"Why is he already so powerful?"
Yun Xiao sighed softly. She did not go anywhere else and chased in the direction where the black shuttle had left.
Perhaps she just did not want to be alone with Yang Jian.
Once he went, he would have to face the dangers and difficulties of the Chaos Sea at all times.
After flying to the horizon, Yun Xiao turned to look at the world. Her Dao heart gradually calmed down without any ripples.
Just as she was about to enter the Chaos Sea, Yun Xiao suddenly sensed that something was amiss in the East Continent. A shocking spiritual energy fluctuation surged out. The entire land of the East Continent was trembling, as if someone was shaking the earth meridians.
Even the earth of the five continents trembled. The Celestial Court was also shaking.
Yun Xiao exclaimed softly and pinched her fingers to deduce. Then, she shook her head gently.
It had nothing to do with her.
She turned around and flew into the Chaos Sea, disappearing.
At the mouth of the Guan River, Yang Jian, who had already left the Primordial World, suddenly returned to his incarnation. He jumped onto the cloud and looked towards the east.
The rays of light fell, and the clouds disappeared.
What happened?
Why did it happen a hundred years earlier?
Yang Jian was not anxious. He just sensed that something was amiss …
The Void Bodhi …
