Yang Jian, Do You Want the Position of Great Dao Saint

The Seven Fairies' playful scuffle with Yang Jian sent a small ripple through the high-level figures and powerful beings of the Primordial Era.

Who could have imagined that the Seven Fairies, who were only at the Earth Immortal realm three months ago, had actually reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?

Such cultivation levels were considered top-tier strength in the current Primordial Era.

To reach such a realm, it would be impossible without millions of years of cultivation, not to mention requiring exceptionally high innate talent and immeasurable fortune.

What kind of fortuitous encounter did the Seven Fairies have, or did the Jade Emperor possess some secret treasure? This became the speculation among the many powerful beings of the Primordial Era.

Western Teachings, Spiritual Mountain.

Tathagata lowered his gaze slightly, his expression solemn and contemplative.

Great Master Guanyin surveyed the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on Spiritual Mountain, then clasped her hands together and bowed, "Buddha Ancestor, regarding the matter of Fengxian County, the Jade Emperor did not fall for the trap. He did not fall into the snare to display his authority over the mortal realm, nor did he display his ruling authority over the mortal realm in the areas near Spiritual Mountain in Western Niuhe Continent."

"This has prevented us from unfolding the tribulation of Fengxian County as planned, and it has also severely impacted the plan for the complete conversion of the human race in the areas surrounding Fengxian County in the mortal realm to our Western Teachings."

"Now, the Journey to the West team is stuck at Lion Camel Ridge, unable to move forward. Today, seven princesses have also intentionally or unintentionally revealed their cultivation strength. Is the Jade Emperor plotting something behind all this?"

Tathagata nodded, "The Journey to the West is a Heavenly Dao Tribulation, and it is also the matter that Dao Ancestor Hongjun promised would lead to the great prosperity of our Western Teachings. Conflict with the Heavenly Court is inevitable. Whatever the Jade Emperor seeks, why not go and ask him directly?"

Tathagata looked at Guanyin, "You are the planner and executor of the Journey to the West. This matter will be for you to go to the Heavenly Court and ask for clarification."

"Yes, Buddha Ancestor," Guanyin accepted the command.

"Do not let down our Teachings' expectations of you," Tathagata said softly.

"I will surely not fail in my mission," Guanyin secretly rejoiced.

Ever since becoming the person in charge of the Journey to the West, Great Master Guanyin knew that her status within the Western Teachings would rise dramatically, and her power would expand exponentially.

The Journey to the West had already covered half of its journey, and these benefits were clearly visible. How could she not know?

Thus, Great Master Guanyin rode the clouds towards the Heavenly Court.

Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor ordered the great bell to be struck, summoning all the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court to an audience.

Such a gathering of immortals had not happened in over a thousand years. There hadn't even been such a grand display when Monkey Sun wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

On the way to the Lingxiao Palace, all the gods were pondering what had happened to cause such a large-scale mobilization.

Deep within the Heavenly Court's palace.

The Jade Emperor reclined on his nine-layered dragon throne, his head swaying gently, humming an unknown tune, and tapping his fingers lightly on the throne. He appeared very relaxed and happy.

Seeing the Jade Emperor in such a mood, Yang Jian found it a bit strange. It was rare for him to be in such good spirits.

"Uncle," Yang Jian bowed.

The Jade Emperor did not look at Yang Jian, merely responding softly, "Mm. Don't you usually dislike me? Why have you come to the Heavenly Court?"

"Uncle jokes. Aren't all external phenomena cooperating with Uncle?"

Yang Jian did not intend to play the game of veiled words between clever people. Instead, he got straight to the point: "I am merely an enforcer for Uncle. I do the dirty work, the things that cannot be seen. I do the things that are inconvenient for the Heavenly Court to handle. That's all."

"Heh heh, you truly have never disappointed me," the Jade Emperor smiled, looking at Yang Jian. He appreciated that Yang Jian could pierce through this unspoken understanding.

"It is Uncle's thoughtful planning," Yang Jian flattered.

As a great celestial god and a high official of the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian naturally understood how to gauge the emperor's intentions. Whether it was the Journey to the West or the Third Holy Mother being suppressed at Mount Hua, he understood the underlying reasons and purposes.

"What brings you here today?"

"Nephew wants to know, why did Uncle suppress the team undertaking the Journey to the West? Wasn't everything settled beforehand?" Yang Jian asked directly.

"That is because I intend to eliminate the entire Journey to the West team."

The Jade Emperor's casual remark caused Yang Jian's body to tremble violently, and his pupils contracted slightly.

This was a massive amount of information!

It was astonishing.

Was he going to oppose the Western Teachings?

The winds of the Primordial Era were about to shift!

"Eliminate the Journey to the West team? You mean cancel the Journey to the West?" Yang Jian asked tentatively.

"Hmph, I mean to lop off the heads of the Journey to the West team!" the Jade Emperor snorted.

What!

Yang Jian was shocked again, unable to believe his ears, thinking he had misheard.

The Jade Emperor not only intended to cancel the Journey to the West but also to behead the members of the team!

This was not just a slap in the face to the Western Teachings, but also an act of spitting in their faces.

Damn, this is too ruthless.

This Uncle is so domineering.

What on earth happened that gave the Jade Emperor such immense confidence?

What kind of existence, what kind of backing, did he have behind him to be so powerful?

The Jade Emperor was very pleased to see Yang Jian's shocked expression.

What backing? What support? Wasn't it all because I have an awesome dad!

With this dad, who do I need to fear! No one!

Thinking of Zhang Yifan made the Jade Emperor happy. This dad was too strong, too reassuring.

"Can you handle this matter?"

"Ah?"

The Jade Emperor asked Yang Jian, whose heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed.

"What? Scared?"

Scared? Of course, he was a little scared. After all, taking down the Journey to the West team was tantamount to directly confronting the Western Teachings.

One had to know that the Western Teachings had two Saints. And Journey to the West was also promised by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which was equivalent to slapping Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the face.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Yang Jian hesitate, the Jade Emperor was slightly disappointed.

But he still gave him a chance.

To gather one hundred and eight Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortals, one must start with those close to him, and Yang Jian had always been one of the candidates.

"Your nephew will not fail this mission! I will bring the heads of the Journey to the West team to see you!" Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said loudly.

Yang Jian was gambling. He was gambling that the Jade Emperor definitely had enough strength to fight. He must have thought it through carefully, which was why he was acting this way.

If Yang Jian knew that the Jade Emperor was acting like this just because Zhang Yifan said, "If someone is not convinced, just do it, why think so much," he would probably spit blood.

"Good! Hahaha, worthy of being my good nephew." The Jade Emperor laughed heartily.

"You must want to know how your sisters became Grand Unity Golden Immortals, right?"

"Yes. I also want to make further progress in the future, striving to reach the Quasi-Saint realm."

"Such little ambition." The Jade Emperor teased, scolding him.

"Huh?" Yang Jian was stunned. Was becoming a Quasi-Saint considered lacking ambition?

Below Saints, weren't Quasi-Saints the most powerful beings?

How could becoming a Quasi-Saint be considered lacking ambition?

Did you want to become a Saint?

"Yang Jian, I will grant you the position of a Great Dao Saint. Do you want it?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I?"

Yang Jian was muttering to himself about the Jade Emperor and didn't hear him clearly. He thought the Jade Emperor was going to bestow some reward, so he casually agreed.

When he came to his senses, Yang Jian was greatly shocked, his eyes wide. "Uncle, what did you just say?"

"I said, I'll give you the position of a Great Dao Saint. Do you want it?" The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian with a smile.

Yang Jian was once again greatly shocked, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

The position of a Great Dao Saint?

A Great Dao Saint?

Did I really hear that correctly?

A Great Dao Saint!

What's going on? Is it real or fake?

The Jade Emperor, even as the Orthodox of the Three Realms, Haotian Shangdi, the Great Celestial Venerable, was only at the Quasi-Saint realm!

Moreover, in the Primordial Era World, the highest existence was only the Heavenly Dao!

Where did this Great Dao come from? Let alone Great Dao Saints.

Even Heavenly Dao Saints, there were only those six!

But looking at the Jade Emperor before him, he didn't seem to be faking it at all. This must be serious.

Seeing Yang Jian still in shock, the Jade Emperor slapped his dragon throne and shouted, "Do you want it or not? Give me an answer!"

With a thud, Yang Jian knelt directly on the ground and replied loudly, "Yes! Your nephew wants it!"

"Good! I grant you the position of a Great Dao Saint!" The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement.

Yang Jian was extremely excited.

He thought that after the Jade Emperor agreed, some miracle would happen. He was anticipating, excited, wanting to see what changes he would undergo.

But after waiting for a while, Yang Jian found that he hadn't changed at all; he was still the same.

Seeing Yang Jian's expression, the Jade Emperor chuckled speechlessly. "What are you thinking? Do you think you'll become a Great Dao Saint immediately? You're dreaming. That's just me promising that you can obtain the position of a Great Dao Saint in the future."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Yang Jian's mouth twitched. He had gotten excited for nothing, but his heart was still pounding. "Your nephew will definitely go through fire and water for you from now on, without any hesitation."

"Uncle, that, what exactly are you..." Yang Jian asked with great curiosity.

"You've always been my confidant, so I won't hide anything from you. It's because your uncle here has found a father," the Jade Emperor said with a laugh.

What?

A father?

The Jade Emperor has a father?

What kind of father is it, that they're so amazing they can even promise the position of a Great Dao Saint?

Who is he? Is he the Great Dao itself?

Before Yang Jian could even process this, Taibai Jinxing entered from outside the hall.

Seeing Yang Jian, Taibai Jinxing nodded at him, then bowed respectfully to the Jade Emperor. "Reporting to Your Majesty, all the gods have arrived at the Lingxiao Palace and are awaiting Your Majesty's command to convene court."

"Good!" The Jade Emperor nodded, then said to Yang Jian, "Yang Jian, don't overthink it. In a few days, I'll take you to meet your maternal grandfather. For now, come with me to meet these gods of the Heavenly Court."
