Yang Jian
Tongtian could no longer tolerate that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Laozi, Yuanshi, and the other two dared to directly plot against his own Interception Sect.
After Tongtian left, he left behind ruins everywhere, as well as the ashen-faced Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Haotian Shangdi, and the trembling Heavenly Soldiers and Generals hiding in various places.
After confirming that Tongtian had left, Haotian and Yuanshi immediately took Taiyi Zhenren out of the Heavenly Prison and prepared to interrogate him carefully.
Haotian looked at the broken walls and ruins around him, and felt a deep disgust for the Taiyi Zhenren before him.
However, since the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was right beside him, he could only suppress his disgust and coldly questioned, "Taiyi Zhenren, we only sent you to carry out two tasks: one is to sow discord between the Human Race and the Dragon Clan, and the other is to sow discord between the Human Race and the Interception Sect."
But look at the situation now. First, the Dragon Clan broke with the Heavenly Court because of you, and now, Senior Brother Tongtian has even stormed the Thirty-Three Heavens because of you."
"Did you go there to perform a task for the Heavenly Court, or to cause trouble and work for the Human Race?"
Why are there so many mistakes?
Haotian's tone was extremely excited, and his spittle almost flew onto Taiyi Zhenren's face, causing Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who was standing to the side, to frown.
"Haotian, Taiyi must have been careless for a moment." Primordial Heavenly Venerable spoke up to defend Taiyi Zhenren, even though he was also extremely annoyed by what Taiyi Zhenren had done.
However, in any case, Taiyi Zhenren was his personal disciple, and it was not up to Haotian, a mere Daoist boy in front of the Zixiao Palace, to humiliate him in this way.
"A moment of carelessness?" Haotian laughed in exasperation upon hearing this.
"Senior Brother Yuanshi, do you think this could be due to a moment of carelessness? How about this, I'll go to the Zixiao Palace and report everything to the Dao Ancestor, so he can judge whether it was truly due to carelessness."
"Haotian, this is just an accident, there's no need to disturb Master." Primordial Heavenly Venerable suddenly whispered to Haotian. Haotian turned to meet Primordial Heavenly Venerable's gaze and noticed that Primordial Heavenly Venerable's brows were full of anger.
Clearly, the battle between the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Tongtian had left him with a belly full of suppressed anger, which was now about to erupt.
Upon seeing this, Haotian immediately cowered; he dared not become the scapegoat for the primitive.
"Let's just consider it an accident then. So, what should we do next?"
"Since Taiyi has made two mistakes in a row, let's send him down to the mortal realm again to make amends. Let him guide Yang Jian and cause him to rebel against the Human Race."
As he spoke, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable turned to look at the kneeling Taiyi Zhenren on the ground, and said in a calm tone, "Taiyi, remember, this is your last chance."
After saying this, the figure of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable disappeared directly from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Seeing this, Haotian glanced down at Taiyi Zhenren, sneered twice, and then left as well.
This jinx is infuriating to everyone who sees him!
After everyone in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall had left, Taiyi Zhenren slowly stood up, his face filled with sorrow, and descended to the mortal realm to go to Chentang Pass.
In Chentang Pass, Nezha had already been sent back by Taiyi.
Nezha's so-called breakthroughs through seclusion were not all just excuses.
Although Nezha is still young, his cultivation level has already reached the Mysterious Immortal realm, far surpassing most cultivators.
When Taiyi Zhenren arrived at the General's Mansion in Chentang Pass, he saw Nezha playing in the courtyard and felt a surge of anger for no reason.
"Nezha, what are you doing playing around instead of training?!"
Upon hearing the sound and seeing that it was his master returning, Nezha's face immediately fell. He had already learned the true identity of Taiyi Zhenren from Fuxi and was genuinely dissatisfied with Taiyi Zhenren, but he dared not retaliate, since their backing was similar and he couldn't beat him in a fight.
Seeing that Nezha was standing quietly in place listening to his reprimand, Taiyi Zhenren felt much better.
After a moment's thought, he revealed his identity directly. "Nezha, your master Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect."
"I have never revealed my identity before because the rules for accepting disciples in the Chan Sect are very strict, and it is not easy to accept disciples. Therefore, I have been secretly testing you all this time."
"You've passed most of the assessments, but there's one last one you need to complete."
"If you can accomplish this, I will take you to Kunlun Mountain to see our Grandmaster. From then on, you will be a disciple of Sage."
Upon hearing this, Nezha silently rolled his eyes. Even if he didn't join the Chan Sect, he was still a genuine disciple of Sage. However, given Fuxi's instructions, he still feigned indifference and asked, "Master, what kind of tests do I still need to undergo?"
"Within Mount Hua Prefecture, there is a rogue cultivator named Yang Jian. Your final test is related to Yang Jian; you need to go and incite him to rebel against the Human Race. If you can accomplish this, you will pass the test." Taiyi Zhenren no longer concealed anything as before; he directly told Nezha what he needed to do.
Upon hearing this, Nezha paused. He was from the Nuwa Palace; how could he possibly persuade someone to rebel against Human Race?
Nezha instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he remembered Fuxi's instructions, and after thinking about it, he readily agreed.
Inside Mount Hua Prefecture.
By this time, Yang Jian had already begun cultivating under the Yu Ding Zhenren Yang Jian, and his talent for cultivation surpassed even that of Nezha. He was now on the verge of becoming Half-Step Golden Immortal.
When Taiyi Zhenren led Nezha to Mount Hua Prefecture, Yang Jian was practicing his sword at a spiritual vein node of Huashan, as instructed by Yu Ding Zhenren.
Seeing Yang Jian's sword energy continuously damaging the spiritual vein nodes of Huashan, Nezha immediately charged towards Yang Jian without waiting for Taiyi Zhenren's instructions.
The two sides were evenly matched in this battle.
Although Nezha possessed treasures such as the Sky-Ribbon, the Universe Ring Wind-Fire Wheels, and the Heavenly Eye, Yang Jian also had the Heavenly Eye, and Yang Jian's cultivation was slightly superior to Nezha's. Therefore, after knocking Nezha away, Yang Jian seized the opportunity and withdrew immediately.
Nezha, filled with rage, was left alone at the spiritual vein node, watching the spiritual energy dissipate.
Enraged, Nezha immediately began searching all over Huashan for Yang Jian's whereabouts.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, at the foot of Mount Huashan, Nezha and Yang Jian were sitting and talking.
To the surprise of Taiyi Zhenren and Yu Ding Zhenren, Nezha and Yang Jian became friends after several fights.
After becoming friends, Nezha learned from Yang Jian that the reason Yang Jian practiced swordsmanship at the Huashan Spirit Cave was entirely at the behest of his master.
This made Nezha's impression of the Chan Sect even worse.
So even though Taiyi Zhenren urged him several times, he still did not persuade Yang Jian to rebel.
Seeing that Nezha was dragging things out any longer, Taiyi Zhenren and Yu Ding Zhenren Taiyi Zhenren n't sit still any longer.
He had no idea how good Nezha was at stalling.
After a brief discussion, the two, in their anxiety, decided to step forward together and try to persuade Yang Jian to rebel.
The two were not worried at all about whether Yang Jian would rebel, after all, Yang Jian's birth mother was the Haotian Jade Emperor's own sister, Fairy Yuhua.
