The Great Sage's Weakness
Yang Jian's expression was still as arrogant and despotic as ever. Back in the Heavenly Court, this monkey had bullied him so many times.
Because he was poor, he couldn't bear to buy pills that could increase his cultivation. Even when he was injured, he used his spiritual energy to recover. He couldn't afford healing pills.
Over time, he'd once been the Heavenly Court's number one war god, but now his cultivation was far below that of the monkey.
Back in the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian had suffered humiliation.
But now …..
He was the Outside's special envoy, a ruler level peerless expert. He could tell that the monkey was only at the diviner level. However, there seemed to be some sort of power inside him that hadn't been fully developed yet.
If he could fully develop that power, his realm would definitely rise along with it.
When that happened, even Yang Jian wasn't sure if he could still bully the monkey. He'd angered the Great Sage so much just now because he wanted to take advantage of the monkey's low cultivation to bully him.
Unfortunately, Ye Zichen blocked his path.
"I, Ol 'Sun, can't beat him?" The Great Sage pointed a thumb at his own chest, then looked at Yang Jian disdainfully. "You think I can't beat ten people like him?"
The two of them had fought for most of their lives. Ye Zichen had no idea how to console them. All he could do was smile bitterly and nod.
At that moment, Yang Jian didn't want to bully the Great Sage any longer.
If they were going to fight, it would only be interesting if their cultivation levels weren't too far apart. In Yang Jian's eyes, this sort of direct suppression wasn't particularly glorious.
He decided not to bully the Great Sage, but he could still put on an act in front of him.
"Wild monkey, don't be unconvinced. Open your eyes wide and take a good look. See just how strong your Grandpa Yang Jian is. "
Boom!
He opened his third eye.
The instant he did, his aura skyrocketed to its peak.
Waves of divine power gushed out of him, making it impossible to face him directly. The Great Sage frowned.
A ruler.
After learning of Yang Jian's cultivation, the Great Sage's face alternated between green and white.
He'd never have guessed that Yang Jian, whom he'd always bullied, would become a ruler after a hundred years.
"If I hadn't slept at Master's place for a hundred years, I'd definitely be a ruler as well. I'd definitely be stronger than this grandson," the Great Sage muttered to himself.
The aura of a Sovereign was overwhelming, and all the cultivators near the house subconsciously looked over.
The ladies of the Xiao Family, who had been teased by Yang Jian before, also had their beautiful eyes sparkling and their small mouths slightly open.
"This stinking hooligan is a ruler?" The young ladies who were being teased whispered to themselves.
This was definitely a world where the strong were respected.
The young ladies who had thought that Yang Jian was frivolous had a completely different impression of him when they saw that he had reached the Sovereign Realm.
Many young ladies were thinking about how to ease the awkwardness from before and get to know each other again.
Xiao Yan, who was chatting with Xiao Hu, stopped as well. He sensed the oppressive aura Yang Jian emanated, and a dark look flashed through his eyes.
Yang Jian wanted to put on an act in front of the monkey. As long as he could make the monkey realize the difference between them, it would be enough. There was no need for him to maintain his sovereign's aura for too long.
Under Yang Jian's control, the surging aura returned to his body. At this moment, he snorted with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Are you afraid now?"
The way he placed his hands on his waist could be said to be quite infuriating.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the Great Sage had to admit that he was no match for Yang Jian. However, his cultivation was lower than his opponent's, so he absolutely couldn't back down.
In the face of Yang Jian's arrogance, the Great Sage simply curled his lips disdainfully.
"That's all you've got. I'm only letting you off for my bro's sake. Otherwise, even if you're a ruler, I'd still smash your head in. "
Yang Jian's smug expression instantly froze. Then, they watched as he furiously pointed at the Great Sage and cursed.
"Come, come, come. Try smashing me to death. Bro, don't stop him. Hurry up and let him do it. "
"Tch." The Great Sage curled his lips disdainfully. His eyes seemed to say, "I can't be bothered with you."
"Stop messing around, you two."
These two brothers were clearly gay friends, and their relationship was better than anyone else's. Yet, as soon as they saw each other, they started fighting. It was hard to deal with them.
He repeatedly tried to pacify them, but they still looked as if they didn't want to see each other.
Until ….
"Hmph, fine! Hey, keep pretending then. Aiya, I was just going to have a nice chat with my brother the Supreme Treasure about that Violet …. I forgot what her name was. It doesn't matter. In any case, my brother probably doesn't want to know. "Yang Jian grinned and looked away." Let's go. "
The Great Sage's disdainful expression instantly froze. Ye Zichen glanced over as well.
He knew about the love and hate between the Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia. Yang Jian's words were aimed squarely at the Great Sage's weak spot.
The Great Sage's gaze flickered back and forth. With a whoosh, he reappeared beside Yang Jian.
"What?" Yang Jian looked up at the Great Sage through his nostrils.
"Heh heh, heh heh heh …." The Great Sage rubbed his hands together and laughed obsequiously. "Bro, it's been so long. I've missed you! The Ripple House is my treat. How about it? "
The Ripple House was one of Skyspan City's most famous restaurants. Their dishes were top-notch, but their prices were also ridiculously high. Even an ordinary Celestial Being would find it hard to afford a meal in the Ripple House.
This was especially true of Yang Jian's appetite. Before he'd reached the Heavenly Court, he could eat three buckets of rice on his own.
The Great Sage had invited Yang Jian to the Ripple House. It was obvious he'd gone all out.
"The Ripple House?"
Yang Jian arched his brows. He'd heard of the Ripple House's reputation and knew how extravagant it was.
However, Yang Jian didn't care too much. He enjoyed teasing the monkey.
"Wait, what did you just call me? Bro …."
"Then …. Master Yang?" asked the Great Sage tentatively. Yang Jian nodded and smiled. "That's more like it."
When he saw Yang Jian's smug expression, the Great Sage was beyond annoyed.
He had no choice. He had to get news of Fairy Zixia as well.
As soon as Yang Jian mentioned the Supreme Treasure, the Great Sage sensed he knew about Zixia. That's why he'd sent Yang Jian so many private messages, only to receive no reply.
Little did he know, this only made the Great Sage more and more certain that Yang Jian knew.
Just now, he'd been so angry at Yang Jian, most likely because Yang Jian had ignored him. That was why he'd acted this way. He'd promised Zixia that he'd come to the Realm of Gods, Demons, and Demons to find her. But now, he still hadn't received any news of her.
He was in a rush.
Thinking back, it might have been thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands of years since they'd parted ….
He couldn't remember.
But he did know that he missed her too much.
He also knew that Zixia was definitely still waiting for him.
He was very impatient. Forget about inviting Yang Jian to the Ripple House for a drink. Even if Yang Jian wanted to beat him up, the Great Sage wouldn't bat an eye.
