Inside the great hall of Jade Void Palace.
Ling Xiao remained calm and composed as he slowly said, "Yaoji descended to the mortal realm and bore two sons and a daughter with Yang Tianyou. Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan are all people of profound foundation and fate. They are destined to possess boundless fortune and karmic blessings."
"Yang Jian is fated with the Sect of Enlightenment and should become its disciple, entering under Perfected Lord Jade Tripod!"
"I wish to exchange this master-disciple karma for the Three Treasures Jade Scepter in your possession. What does Tianzun think?"
As soon as these words fell, a stir arose.
The disciples of the Sect of Enlightenment began discussing among themselves, then deduced everything concerning Yang Jian.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly understood. "That day at Phoenix Perch Mountain, I wished to give the Three Treasures Jade Scepter to you, little friend, but you refused under the pretext of karma."
"So you had planned this all along..."
As he spoke!
Yuanshi Tianzun did not hesitate in the slightest and summoned the Three Treasures Jade Scepter.
Auspicious energy surged around it, radiating the luster of white jade as wisps of immortal aura coiled about it.
With a wave, it could summon wind and rain, command the heavenly phenomena, ward off evil, suppress demons, and wield the force of ten thousand jun.
"Little Friend Ling Xiao, this Three Treasures Jade Scepter is fated with you!"
With a light sweep of his jade sleeve, the Three Treasures Jade Scepter fell into Ling Xiao's arms.
As he sensed the vast source of creation within it, Ling Xiao's primordial spirit and True Spirit both trembled faintly. Only the final Taiyi Whisk remained before he could forge the foundation of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Pure World White Lotus.
