Primordial Era: I Mistook the Jade Emperor for My Son at the Start

What a waste of time!

My life is forfeit!

Tang Sanzang was so terrified his legs trembled uncontrollably, and a large patch of his pants became soaked.

Sensing the power of a Quasi-Saint, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was so scared he lost his wits. With a flap of its wings, it tried to flee.

But how could the brothers from Meishan let him escape? They had already surrounded the cave dwelling so tightly that not a drop of water could get through.

They had only one mission: to trap the Golden-Winged Great Peng and prevent its world-beating speed from being unleashed!

Squelch!

Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword pierced straight through the Golden-Winged Great Peng's body.

"Tathagata will surely come for revenge!" the Golden-Winged Great Peng said, blood flowing from its lips as it glared fiercely at Yang Jian.

Little master, there's more to this chapter! Please click next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

"Tathagata? Is he coming? Tathagata." Yang Jian sneered. "Is he coming or not? Who the hell cares. As for you, just die."

The Golden-Winged Great Peng's primordial spirit was extinguished, and its corpse was flung aside.

"Annihilate all these lesser demons," Yang Jian said, his cold gaze sweeping over the lesser demons in the cave dwelling, who were already trembling. He issued the order to Yuan Hong and the others.

"Yes!"

How powerful were Yuan Hong and the others?

Slaughtering these tens of thousands of lesser demons was like cutting vegetables and melons, like entering an uninhabited land.

In just a moment, all the demons of Lion Camel Ridge were wiped out.

After swiftly finishing off the lesser demons, Yang Jian looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng's true form and muttered to himself, "Grandfather mentioned last time that he wanted to eat bird meat. This Great Peng's meat should be quite good. I should send some to Grandfather."

"This lion meat should also be good. As for the elephant meat, I wonder what it tastes like."

"Ah, whatever, I'll take it all to Grandfather. With Grandfather's cooking skills, it'll definitely be top-notch."

Immediately, Yang Jian collected the true forms of the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge and, with Yuan Hong and the others, retreated, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

The West, Spiritual Mountain.

"Yang Jian! How dare you!"

Tathagata roared in fury, his voice shaking Spiritual Mountain itself.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Spiritual Mountain listened with pounding hearts.

"Buddha Ancestor, what is it?" Guanyin Bodhisattva sensed something was amiss and quickly asked.

Tathagata's face was as dark as dripping water. "Yang Jian led people to kill the four members of the pilgrimage team! The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge were killed, and all the other demons were slaughtered! They were even annihilated, with no chance of reincarnation! This is outrageous!"

What?!

A wave of uproar swept through the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of Spiritual Mountain. They looked at each other, murmuring amongst themselves.

This is too ruthless!

They actually took out the pilgrimage team!

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face also darkened, but she felt a little relieved.

Last time, being slapped in the Hall of Miraculous Mist had made Guanyin a laughingstock in the Primordial Era, and she couldn't hold her head up in Spiritual Mountain.

Now, with Yang Jian destroying the pilgrimage team, this slap landed directly on Tathagata's face, and on the faces of the two Saints of the Western Teachings!

Now, no one would mock just her, Guanyin Bodhisattva, anymore.

If there was mockery, it would be for all of Spiritual Mountain.

And in the Primordial Era, a colossal wave was stirring!

Regarding the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Emperor, people were discussing and expressing their shock.

They actually dared to confront them!

And start a war!

What reliance does this Jade Emperor have?

Who is the terrifying existence behind him? He's not afraid of Saints!

The great powers of the Primordial Era were all guessing and investigating.

Chapter 20: Taishang Laojun, I'll Give You a Chance

While Yang Jian was wreaking havoc in Lion Camel Ridge, the Jade Emperor, upon returning to the Heavenly Court, was not idle either.

Last time in the Hall of Miraculous Mist, Taishang Laojun had called the Jade Emperor unrighteous and then left with a group of people.

The Jade Emperor had not forgotten this grudge.

Heavenly Court.

Palace of Dui.

The Jade Emperor, disguised as a commoner, strolled and happened to arrive at the Palace of Dui.

"Jade Emperor, please stop."

Just as the Jade Emperor was about to push open the door to the Hall of Miraculous Mist, two young attendants at the entrance stopped him.

"Hmm? In this Heavenly Court, is there someone who dares to stop me?" The Jade Emperor's eyes blazed with majesty, his imperial aura surging. A single glance sent the two attendants flying, causing them to vomit blood and collapse on the ground, unable to rise.

"To think the dignified Jade Emperor would attack two attendants with lethal force. Have you no shame?"

The door to the Hall of Miraculous Mist opened, and Taishang Laojun emerged.

"Laojun, you're speaking nonsense with your eyes open. It was clearly these two oblivious fools who obstructed the imperial carriage. Their crime is unforgivable," the Jade Emperor said with a light laugh.

Taishang Laojun flicked his horsetail whisk, reviving the two attendants. Then, he stared at the Jade Emperor with displeasure, "I think you are the one speaking nonsense. Can't you see this plaque?"

Taishang Laojun pointed to the plaque hanging at the entrance of the Hall of Miraculous Mist.

On the plaque, a line of large characters was written: "Closed to visitors, Heavenly Emperor not permitted."

My god!

The Jade Emperor's lips twitched; he almost cursed the old man.

This plaque hadn't been there just moments ago. This old man had conjured it up on the spot.

Shameless!

"You old scoundrel, you're truly cunning."

"You little brat, you're not bad yourself."

Neither of them would concede to the other in their verbal sparring.

"Enough, Taishang Laojun. I've come alone this time because I want to give you another chance, a chance for boundless prospects," the Jade Emperor waved his hand, not wanting to bicker further with this disrespectful elder, and got straight to the point.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's talk inside."

The Jade Emperor pushed open the door to the Hall of Miraculous Mist, entered the room, and with a wave of his hand, conjured a pot of Golden Elixir. He then poured the elixirs into his hand like beans, tossing them into his mouth one by one, as if eating peanuts.

He truly didn't consider himself an outsider.

Taishang Laojun didn't stop him.

"I've come today mainly to invite Laojun for a cup of tea," the Jade Emperor lightly adjusted his dragon robe and sat in the main seat.

"You truly have the leisure. The Lion Camel Ridge annihilated the pilgrimage team, and killed the Green-furred Lion, the Yellow-toothed Elephant, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng. Aren't you worried that the Tathagata Buddha will storm your Hall of Miraculous Mist later?"

"What? The Journey to the West team was annihilated? How come I didn't know?"

The Jade Emperor was greatly shocked, pointing at Taishang Laojun and cursing, "You old Taoist bull-nose, you're framing me!"

"..."

Taishang Laojun's face darkened. Was this the Jade Emperor? He was simply a ruffian.

Seeing Taishang Laojun flustered, the Jade Emperor chuckled inwardly, "Come, I've recently collected some new tea leaves. I brought them specifically for you, Laojun, to try."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand, producing some tea leaves, and began to brew tea.

As the Jade Emperor took out the tea leaves, a glint flashed in Taishang Laojun's eyes.

These tea leaves were extraordinary!

And there was a familiar feeling.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Taishang Laojun was startled, "Enlightenment Tea?"

"That's right, Enlightenment Tea," the Jade Emperor smiled. "How is it? Delicious, isn't it?"

"The tea is naturally excellent," Taishang Laojun said. "As far as I know, only Dao Ancestor Hongjun currently has a small amount of this Enlightenment Tea left. Did you perhaps go back to Zixiao Palace and steal something?"

"Don't spout nonsense. In the Three Realms, wherever the sun and moon shine, it all belongs to me. Do I need to steal things?" The Jade Emperor's majesty was imposing, his confidence and arrogance radiating a powerful imperial aura.

Arrogant!

Taishang Laojun sneered, "Then where did it come from?"

The Jade Emperor producing the Enlightenment Tea indeed shocked Taishang Laojun.

He himself had drunk Enlightenment Tea in Zixiao Palace. Currently, Enlightenment Tea leaves were extremely rare, with only the Dao Ancestor possessing them.

The Jade Emperor's actions were so brazen that it made Laojun wonder if the Dao Ancestor was behind the Jade Emperor.

He couldn't help but continue to probe.

The Jade Emperor smiled, "Where it came from is not important. What's important is that as long as Laojun submits to me and swears allegiance to me until death, I will let bygones be bygones, and you can drink this Enlightenment Tea to your heart's content."

Submit? Swear allegiance until death?

What a joke! Even for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he had never considered submitting or pledging allegiance!
