Yang Jian Seeks the Dao, Reuniting with Yao Ji
If Haotian gained anything from this trip, it was that he made friends with Ziwei beforehand.
No initial alliance has been reached with them.
But this is not enough to make up for the Heavenly Court's losses.
Haotian's already precarious prestige suffered an even greater blow.
Even with timely intervention, significant damage was still inflicted on the forces when Haotian returned.
Their dissatisfaction with the Sanqing and the West was also constantly increasing.
Because of Haotian's change in mood, the entire Heavenly Court became extremely oppressive.
Apart from Haotian, there was no joy in the West.
Because of the intervention of the disciples of the Three Teachings, the Western scheme this time has undoubtedly failed.
Even if one is unwilling, one is ultimately no match for others.
Whether in terms of disciples or their own strength, they were all inferior to the Sanqing Ones.
Fortunately, because of Yang Tianyou's choice, although they failed, they did not suffer too much loss.
The Bhaisajyaguru and his disciples, expelled by the Three Teachings, also left East Victory Divine Continent.
However, they did not rush to show themselves.
Although they disdained Haotian, they were still quite wary of him.
Scheming behind someone's back is one thing, openly provoking someone is another.
Without the authorization of the Sanqing, they would not provoke Haotian.
Even if Haotian is weak, he is still the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and they cannot deal with him.
They also didn't want to offend Ziwei.
They were even more wary of him than of Haotian.
In their numerous encounters with the Mount Luojia faction, they never gained the upper hand; on the contrary, they suffered repeated defeats.
This instilled fear and apprehension in them.
The status of a disciple of a sage is almost meaningless in the face of Mount Luojia.
They are not at all arrogant.
Not long after Haotian left, Yang Jiao and the other two woke up one after another.
They didn't make a fuss, but tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably, and an atmosphere of sorrow permeated the entire hall.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they knew one thing for sure: their father had passed away.
They perished while protecting them.
Sadness and confusion filled their hearts!
"Master, what exactly happened? What's going on between Mother and Father?"
How are they now? Has Father really passed away?
Yang Jiao asked Ziwei, his voice choked with emotion.
Yang Jian and Yang Chan also looked at Ziwei nervously, eager to know about their parents' situation.
"Your mother is no ordinary person, but the eldest princess of Heavenly Court."
Even your father was a reincarnation of a powerful Western Great Luo Immortal!
Seeing the three bewildered and confused people, Ziwei did not hide anything and told them about the past and the truth.
Of course, what Ziwei said was all just the surface of it all.
As for deeper calculations, knowing too much about them would be of no benefit.
Some things they need to understand and discover for themselves.
"My mother was suppressed, and my father perished."
"Was all of this done by our uncle?"
"Why, why can't he tolerate us?"
The sheer volume of information was overwhelming for the three of them, leaving them struggling to process it all.
They never imagined that their ordinary parents had such an extraordinary background.
But what I must remember is the sorrow over what happened to my parents, and the resentment I feel towards Haotian.
"The Primordial World is far larger than you can imagine, and its Karma are intertwined."
Things are far more complicated than they appear, but you'll have to find out for yourselves!
Looking at the three of them, Ziwei still showed a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
"Thank you for informing me, Master. I will definitely cultivate diligently and uncover the truth."
And his mother, I will definitely help him get out of this predicament.
We also need to ask why our uncle treated us this way!
Compared to Yang Jian and Yang Chan, Yang Jiao already possessed cultivation and was more mature.
"I believe you can do it!"
Ziwei looked at Yang Jiao with satisfaction.
"Yang Jian greets Senior and requests to be accepted as his disciple."
I will work with my brother to rescue our trapped mother!
"Please, senior, accept me as your disciple!"
Despite their weakened state, Yang Jian and Yang Chan bowed to Ziwei with unwavering resolve.
Even Yang Jiao looked at Ziwei expectantly, hoping that Yang Jian and Yang Chan could embark on the path of cultivation.
"You all get up first."
As children of gods and men, you all possess extraordinary talents.
However, your path is not with me; I am merely a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
"It is utterly impossible to break the Heavenly Emperor's seal with this!"
Although both of them were quite talented, they had already been noticed by others.
Moreover, when accepting apprentices, one should not only consider their aptitude, but also their character and perseverance.
Although both of them were excellent in every way, they were not meant to be with him.
"How so.
Are we truly destined to be barred from the path of immortality, unable to avenge our parents?
Upon being rejected, Yang Jian's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
"That's not the case; it's just that you have a better future than I do."
It's not that you're destined for immortality, but that I'm unable to teach you.
There are countless powerful beings in this world; you will surely have your own destiny!
Ziwei used her divine soul power to both comfort Yang Jian and strengthen his resolve to pursue the Dao.
Yang Jian's excited mood gradually calmed down. After realizing that there was no hope of becoming an apprentice, he began to ask Ziwei for guidance.
Ziwei also explained in detail the many powerful figures of today, as well as the division of strength levels.
Almost immediately, Yang Jian set his sights on the disciples of the sage.
Their enemy is the Heavenly Emperor, and only the legacy of a sage can give them the confidence to seek revenge.
Having set a clear goal, Yang Jian immediately bid farewell to Ziwei and embarked on the path of seeking the Dao with Yang Chan.
Yang Jiao was naturally worried about the two of them and tried his best to dissuade them.
But he couldn't stop the hatred in Yang Jian's heart and his yearning for cultivation.
"Don't worry, Yang Jian and the other two are both blessed with great fortune. Although there will be twists and turns on this journey, they will surely achieve their goals!"
Watching the two figures leave, Ziwei offered words of comfort to Yang Jiao.
"Can Yang Jian and the others really become disciples of a sage?"
Yang Jiao looked at Ziwei expectantly.
"Of course you can. Do you regret not leaving with them?"
Given Yang Jiao's aptitude, even a saint would never refuse him.
Yang Jiao has no regrets; being able to receive guidance from his master is a blessing for Yang Jiao.
Master, please don't abandon Yang Jiao!
Yang Jiao's expression changed, and his voice was filled with unease.
Since gaining enlightenment, Yang Jiao has been cultivating with Ziwei. In his heart, Ziwei is even more important than his parents.
"Don't worry, I certainly won't abandon you. I still want to see you become a top-tier expert!"
Ziwei stepped forward and helped Yang Jiao.
He wasn't actually testing Yang Jiao; he was just expressing his feelings and didn't want Yang Jiao to be so uneasy.
"Master really won't abandon me?"
Yang Jiao still asked, still uneasy.
"Of course not. I was wrong this time; I shouldn't have said that."
As compensation, I will take you to see Fellow Yao Ji right away!
Seeing Yang Jiao still looking terrified, Ziwei truly regretted saying those words.
"If I go to see my mother, can Master break Haotian's restrictions?"
A look of surprise instantly appeared in Yang Jiao's eyes.
"I naturally cannot break the Heavenly Emperor's restrictions, but I can still allow you to see Fellow Yao Ji!"
Without further hesitation, Ziwei led Yang Jiao straight to Mount Tao.
The dazzling starlight flashed past, passing through layers of restrictions and reaching deep into Mount Tao.
Yao Ji, looking utterly dejected and desperate, was trapped beneath Mount Tao.
