Primordial Era: Mistaking the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

Yang Jian knew it was good stuff, but seeing his grandfather Zhang Yifan say that, he could only lick his lips, thinking it was a pity he couldn't drink alcohol.

However, upon smelling the aroma of the pot of tea Zhang Yifan brought over, Yang Jian's spirits instantly lifted. The fragrance made his mind so much clearer and more transparent!

Sect Master Tongtian's eyes also lit up.

"Is this... Enlightenment Tea?" Sect Master Tongtian asked in surprise.

"Enlightenment Tea?" The Jade Emperor froze upon hearing this and also stared at the teacup.

Enlightenment Tea was incredibly good stuff!

Taking a sip could help one cultivate quickly and see through the essence of things.

Sect Master Tongtian picked up the tea and took a sip.

It truly was Enlightenment Tea!

In the Primordial Era, Enlightenment Tea was extremely rare. Any Saint would covet it greatly.

He never expected to drink it here.

Seeing this, Yang Jian on the side also picked up his cup and took a sip.

Yang Jian felt his mind become incredibly clear. It was as if a layer of grease covering his head had been wiped away, and the world instantly became transparent.

Things that he hadn't understood during his cultivation suddenly became clear and enlightened.

It was wonderful!

This kind of experience was something he had only felt during moments of great inspiration.

And now, this experience was even more intense than a burst of inspiration!

Moreover, it was more lasting.

As long as he drank this Enlightenment Tea, he could maintain this clear and transparent feeling.

His cultivation was advancing!

Yang Jian was overjoyed.

"Come, don't just drink, eat the dishes quickly."

Seeing that Sect Master Tongtian and Yang Jian were both savoring the taste of the tea and not eating, he called out to them.

The Jade Emperor, on the other hand, was already itching to start. If Zhang Yifan hadn't held him back, he would have devoured everything.

"Okay, Grandfather." Yang Jian snapped back to attention and began to eat the dishes.

As a bite of food went down his throat, a surge of pure energy flowed into his body. The energy from the Great Dao Law Fragments was astonishing.

Yang Jian felt his cultivation visibly increasing.

"Fragrant, so fragrant!"

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Yang Jian's eyes shone, and he looked like a starving ghost, fixated on the dishes on the table, his hands moving non-stop.

Sect Master Tongtian on the side was equally shocked.

These dishes actually contained Great Dao Law Fragments!

Eating a bite of food allowed him to gain some insight into the Great Dao Laws.

Those were Great Dao Laws!

The Great Dao!

Not the Heavenly Dao!

These dishes were truly astonishing!

Seeing Yang Jian suddenly start snatching food, Sect Master Tongtian no longer held back and began to devour the dishes like a whirlwind.

Seeing the two of them like this, the Jade Emperor also joined the fray without hesitation.

In just a few breaths, the entire large table of dishes was wiped out by the three of them.

If the Jade Emperor hadn't been quick, the jar of wine in front of him would have been snatched away by Sect Master Tongtian.

Zhang Yifan had only taken a sip of wine when he saw the dishes vanish, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, looking at Sect Master Tongtian and Yang Jian with pity. "Little Tongtong, Little Yang, have you been struggling so much out there that you have no food to eat? Why are you so starved?"

"In the future, if you don't have money to eat, find your eldest uncle, your uncle. Or if you know the way, come find your grandfather, me."

"Grandfather. It's mainly because your cooking is too fragrant. Food outside can't compare. So we couldn't help ourselves."

"Exactly. If we didn't eat quickly, Little Yang, that starving ghost, would have snatched it all." Sect Master Tongtian nodded.

Yang Jian rolled his eyes.

"Grandfather, that Enlightenment Tea, do you have any more?" Sect Master Tongtian asked, looking at Zhang Yifan.

"Enlightenment Tea, what Enlightenment Tea?" Zhang Yifan was stunned, completely unaware of what Enlightenment Tea was.

"The one you just gave us to drink."

"Oh, that tea. Yes, I do. There's plenty in the backyard, and a whole warehouse full inside. Do you like drinking tea?"

"I like it!" Sect Master Tongtian nodded heavily.

"You like drinking it? Then Grandpa will carry a sack back for you later," Zhang Yifan said generously.

!!!

!!!

Carry a sack back?

Sect Master Tongtian was overjoyed, a smile appearing on his face.

"Grandpa, I want some too! I like drinking it too! I want a sack too," Yang Jian immediately jumped out, shaking Zhang Yifan's arm like a spoiled child.

Damn, a whole sack of Enlightenment Tea, who wouldn't want that!

"Alright, alright, everyone gets some, everyone gets some," Zhang Yifan chuckled, patting Yang Jian's hand.

"Dad, I like drinking it too. I want a sack too," the Jade Emperor also called out. How could he miss out on such a good thing?

The Jade Emperor was so annoyed. He had lived here for so long, and usually just went drinking, yet he had missed out on something as good as Enlightenment Tea!

If only he had known, he wouldn't have drunk alcohol all day, he should have just drunk tea.

"You little brat, do you think I run a tea shop? You want a sack too? I'll give you a small packet at most," Zhang Yifan said to the Jade Emperor, sounding annoyed.

"……" The Jade Emperor was speechless. Why was he so biased!

It seemed like affection for grandchildren was greater than for one's own son.

Look how good he was to Yang Jian, his grandson, and Sect Master Tongtian, his grandson!

He only neglected his own son.

The Jade Emperor tilted his head up, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Yifan flicked the back of the Jade Emperor's head, "What are you pretending to be so profound for? I'll bring three sacks for your wife and my granddaughters later."

"Yes, alright, Dad!" The Jade Emperor immediately beamed, calling him "Dad" so smoothly.

Chapter 16: Tongtian, the Primordial Era's Biggest Waste

After a big meal at his father's place, drinking a jar of wine, and sneaking away with three sacks of Enlightenment Tea, the Jade Emperor was extremely satisfied.

More importantly, he had taken down Sect Master Tongtian's status. From now on, when he saw the Jade Emperor, he would have to call him uncle!

If the beings of the Primordial Era saw this scene, it would surely be spectacular.

Just thinking about it made the Jade Emperor laugh out loud.

After eating his fill and drinking his fill, the Jade Emperor glanced at Sect Master Tongtian, who was still sulking, and felt amused.

"Dad, I heard from my cultivator friends that something big happened in the Heavenly Court recently," the Jade Emperor said.

"You have cultivator friends?" Zhang Yifan was immediately interested.

"Yes, little Yang cultivates too," the Jade Emperor pointed at Yang Jian.

Zhang Yifan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yang Jian, saying, "Oh, that's great. Leave a couple of cultivation manuals for your grandpa to look at later."

Although that darn system had given him many so-called top-tier manuals, Zhang Yifan had practiced them all but still couldn't cultivate any so-called magical power. This made Zhang Yifan very frustrated, and he didn't know why.

The truth was, all of Zhang Yifan's magical power was temporarily collected and stored by the great formation of the house.

"Grandpa, that's just some basic skills I have. Those cultivation manuals… you probably wouldn't think much of them," Yang Jian's face turned red when he heard Zhang Yifan's praise.

Compared to Zhang Yifan, could that even be called cultivation?

"Alright, just leave them if I tell you to," Zhang Yifan didn't want to be polite. He then asked the Jade Emperor, "What big thing happened? Did the Jade Emperor secretly go down to the mortal realm to steal women? And then get caught by the Queen Mother?"

Jade Emperor: "……"

"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Is the Jade Emperor that kind of person?" The Jade Emperor's mouth twitched. If the Queen Mother found out about this, there would be a lot of trouble.

Yang Jian couldn't help but want to laugh, and he chimed in to smooth things over, "Grandpa, I know. I heard that the Heavenly Emperor killed the Fire Lord Star Lord, took back the authority to appoint and dismiss righteous gods in the Heavenly Court, and completely disregarded the Investiture of the Gods List!"

"Oh~" Zhang Yifan's interest was piqued. This Jade Emperor seemed different from what he understood.

"And also, in the Hall of Miraculous Mist, the Jade Emperor even made Taibai Jinxing slap Guanyin Bodhisattva several times, turning her lips into a sausage!"

"That's explosive!" Zhang Yifan found it very interesting. He took a sip of wine and asked, "Quick, tell me, what else?"

"Also, the Journey to the West pilgrimage team is stuck at Lion Camel Ridge, unable to move half a step. I also heard that the Jade Emperor is planning to 'castrate' the Journey to the West team."

"Good! A Jade Emperor like this is a bit interesting." Zhang Yifan was instantly happy when he heard that the Jade Emperor had also stopped Journey to the West.

That darn system had said before it ran away that after the Primordial Era world successfully upgraded, he would see his wife again.

Now that Journey to the West was paused, and the Jade Emperor had changed, it seemed like things were secretly changing.
