Chapter 713 Yuan Hong, Welcome Second Master Zhang Shan!
Although his master Nuwa treated him very well, she was too quiet and reserved, and usually let them figure things out on their own.
But Niu Ben is different!
Look at how they train their apprentices—simple, direct, and effective! The first gift is instant ascension!
If he becomes a formal disciple, wouldn't he be able to fly into the Chaos Realm?
Yang Jian looked at him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I cannot make that decision."
"When my master accepts disciples, it is based on fate and destiny, not on my recommendation."
Lingzhuzi's face immediately fell, and he sighed.
"It's over. Another path on my road to sainthood has been cut off."
The Eastern King listened from the side, secretly amused.
Want to become the master's apprentice? It's not that easy.
He, the Eastern King, was once one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace. His status and position were extremely prestigious. Now, isn't he just a protector of the Dao?
However, the master's methods were indeed extraordinary.
Across endless time and space, ignoring the restrictions of a saint's dojo, a quasi-saint can be created at will.
This level of skill is something that even the Supreme Master Uncle, let alone Jieyin and Zhunti, might not be able to achieve so easily.
With a master like this, my path to sainthood is practically guaranteed!
After Yang Chan broke through, her mind became much more open. She walked to Yang Jian's side and felt the calm aura emanating from her brother, which brought her an unprecedented sense of peace.
"Second Brother, where do we go next?"
"Let's go back to Meishan," Yang Jian said. "Since we've decided to take action in ten days, we need to prepare early."
He looked at Yang Chan and Ling Zhuzi.
"You have just received the blessings of the sage, and you need time to consolidate your realm."
Yang Chan and Ling Zhuzi both nodded.
Yang Chan, in particular, has seen her cultivation level rise too quickly and definitely needs to consolidate it properly. Otherwise, her foundation will be unstable and there will be hidden dangers in the future.
After the matter was settled, Yang Jian, along with the three others, prepared to bid farewell to Nuwa.
When they returned to the main hall, Nuwa's gaze immediately fell on Yang Chan.
Even as a Heavenly Saint, when she witnessed Yang Chan break through from the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Saint realm in such a short time, a barely perceptible ripple flashed in her usually calm eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben's methods are truly... unfathomable."
Nuwa was filled with emotion.
She could also help her disciples improve their cultivation, but it would never be so easy, much less the chance to directly help someone sever their corpse.
Severing the three corpses involves the cultivator's own path and obsessions, which outsiders cannot interfere with at all.
But Niu Ben actually did it.
This shows that his understanding of the Great Dao has transcended the scope of the Heavenly Dao Sage.
"Disciple Yang Jian, along with his sister Yang Chan and Lingzhuzi, bids farewell to the Sage."
Yang Jian bowed respectfully.
"Disciple Yang Chan bids farewell to Master."
"Disciple Lingzhuzi bids farewell to Master."
Yang Chan and Ling Zhuzi also knelt down respectfully.
Nuwa raised her hand, and a gentle force of creation lifted them up.
Her gaze fell on Yang Chan, and her tone softened.
"Now that you are a quasi-saint, you must be even more careful to conceal your aura and solidify your foundation. You must not slack off."
"Yes, disciple will remember Master's teachings." Yang Chan nodded emphatically.
Nuwa then looked at Lingzhuzi and said calmly, "You too, once you've gained benefits, don't spend your days thinking about taking shortcuts. The path to the Great Dao must ultimately be walked step by step by yourself."
"Hehe, disciple understands." Lingzhuzi scratched his head. "Disciple promises that from now on I will be down-to-earth, cultivate diligently, and never let Master down!"
As for what he's really thinking, only he knows.
Finally, Nuwa turned her gaze to Yang Jian.
"The matter of Taoshan is far-reaching. Although you have Fellow Daoist Niu Ben backing you up, you still need to be cautious in your actions."
"Sages are immortal and value their reputation above all else. You have offended the Western Religion today, and they will not let this go easily."
"This disciple understands," Yang Jian replied. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."
Nuwa nodded slightly and said no more.
She waved, indicating that they could leave.
What needed to be said has been said, and what needed to be given has been given. The rest of the journey is up to them to walk.
Yang Jian bowed again, then led Yang Chan, Ling Zhuzi, and Dong Wanggong out of the quiet sacred temple.
As she watched the four figures disappear outside the palace gates, Nuwa's gaze became somewhat distant.
The calamity aura of the Investiture of the Gods is growing stronger and stronger.
Yang Jian splitting the mountain to save his mother may seem like just a family matter, but it was like a pebble thrown into a turbulent, primordial lake, creating ripples all around.
Heavenly Court, Western Religion, Xuanmen...
All sides have been drawn in, and a storm is brewing.
"Hopefully, things won't escalate to the point of no return."
Nuwa murmured to herself, then slowly closed her eyes, and the great hall returned to its eternal tranquility.
……
The moment they left Nuwa Palace and stepped into the primordial world, Yang Jian and his companions transformed into four streaks of light and sped towards the Eastern Continent.
Along the way, Lingzhuzi seemed particularly excited, looking around and constantly telling Yang Chan about all sorts of strange and wonderful things that happened in the prehistoric world.
"Junior sister, look at that mountain below. It's said that it was once the dojo of a powerful being, but it was cut in half during a battle!"
"And there's that river, called the Tongtian River. There's an old turtle in it that's lived for who knows how many millions of years, and it's really wicked!"
As Yang Chan listened, she felt the long-lost primordial atmosphere and was filled with emotion.
She looked at Yang Jian beside her and saw that he was calm and his gaze was fixed on the front. She couldn't help but ask.
"Second Brother, what kind of place is Meishan?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's face softened.
"That's our temporary home now."
"Once we rescue my mother, we'll return to Guanjiangkou."
Family.
A simple word brought tears to Yang Chan's eyes.
She nodded vigorously.
"Um!"
The four moved extremely fast, and before long, a continuous mountain range filled with demonic energy appeared at the edge of their sight.
That is Meishan.
Before they even got close, Yang Jian sensed a powerful demonic aura rising into the sky and heading towards their direction.
"Second Master is back!"
A rough yet delighted voice resounded throughout Meishan.
Chapter 706: Second Master Returns to the Mountain! The Ten Thousand Demons of Meishan Heed His Command
With that joyful shout, a white divine light shot up from the depths of Meishan Mountain at an astonishing speed, arriving in front of Yang Jian and the others in just a few flashes.
As the light faded, a white ape with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, holding an iron rod, was revealed. It was Yuan Hong, the leader of the Seven Sages of Meishan.
"Yuan Hong, welcome Second Master back to the mountain!"
