The Holy Mother Suppressed Beneath Lotus Peak

Meanwhile, Yang Jian had already led the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to Mount Hua.

Yang Jian formed a hand seal and opened the Heavenly Eye on his forehead.

Golden light from the Heavenly Eye pierced through layer upon layer of clouds, revealing every detail of Mount Hua.

At the residence of Third Holy Mother Yang Chan, things were exactly as the reporting heavenly general had described. Yang Chan held the still-swaddled Chen Xiang in her arms, while the scholarly, refined Liu Yanchang sat beside her. The family of three looked exceptionally happy and beautiful.

Among immortals, Longing for the Mortal World was extremely common. Yang Jian's mother could even be considered the foremost female immortal to long for the mortal world. When Yang Jian accepted the Jade Emperor's investiture, the Jade Emperor had asked him, "Yang Jian, do you believe your mother, Yao Ji, was right or wrong?"

This was effectively a warning from the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. The answer they wanted was that Yao Ji had been wrong. And if Yao Ji was wrong, then Yang Jian and Yang Chan were merely the children of sinners. Under the Heavenly Regulations, they too should have died.

In the end, Yang Jian had no choice but to admit that his mother had been wrong. After that, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother treated Yang Jian like their own nephew. Yang Chan was also granted the title of Holy Mother of the Western Peak. The Queen Mother further decreed that no one in the Three Realms was permitted to discuss Yao Ji or Yang Jian. Officially, though, they had been granted their titles for their achievements in controlling the floods.

From then on, the two of them were no longer sinners. It was also after that that a rift appeared between Yang Jian and Yang Chan.

Not long ago, the Queen Mother had proposed harshly punishing immortals who longed for the mortal world, putting an end to the trend entirely. Soon afterward, Yang Jian received word that Yang Chan had secretly taken up with a mortal.

After witnessing the scene with his own eyes, Yang Jian's fury surged.

"Third Sister! We have been siblings for thousands of years. Why can't you try to understand me?" In his eyes, Yang Chan's actions were undoubtedly an act of defiance, an expression of her dissatisfaction with him.

"Move!" Yang Jian shouted.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals immediately transformed into streaks of light, appearing on Mount Hua and surrounding Yang Chan's family of three.

Yang Jian coldly shouted, "Third Holy Mother! You secretly married a mortal and have already violated the Heavenly Rules! Return to the Heavenly Court with me at once and accept your punishment!"

Yang Jian was so enraged that he did not even call her Third Sister. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, marriage had been governed by clear rites. Even if their parents had long since passed, did she not still have him as her elder brother? Third Holy Mother's actions were simply a complete disregard for him.

Third Holy Mother raised her head to look at Yang Jian, her expression pitiful as she called out, "Second Brother~"

"Do not call me Brother! I have no sister like you! Generals, hear my command! Seize her!" Yang Jian shouted.

Led by the Seven Brothers of Mount Mei, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals below could no longer care about their former friendship with Third Holy Mother. They hardened their hearts, raised their weapons, and charged forward.

However, the Precious Lotus Lantern World where Yang Jian resided had in fact been created by Empress Nuwa. That was right—Nuwa, who had opened heaven and earth.

The heavenly fire she had stolen absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, transforming into a Precious Lotus Lantern. Its magic power was boundless and its might immense. It was truly a first-rate Magic Treasure within this world's Three Realms.

And now, Third Holy Mother was the master of the Precious Lotus Lantern.

Driven by Third Holy Mother's magic power, the Precious Lotus Lantern immediately blazed with divine light, sending the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flying.

Their battle also awakened little Chen Xiang, who had been sleeping soundly.

"Could it be that they already have a child?" the Howling Celestial Dog said.

When Yang Jian had just examined the place with his Heavenly Eye, he had already discovered this and devised a countermeasure. As long as he killed Liu Yanchang and that bastard Liu Chen Xiang, Third Holy Mother's matter could be concealed. Otherwise, if the Queen Mother learned of it, then even with Third Holy Mother's formidable magic power, she would inevitably be stripped of her immortal status and blasted into soul-scattering oblivion by a divine thunderbolt.

Third Holy Mother sent the Heavenly Soldiers flying, but another unit quickly rushed in to replace them. In the end, she could only use the Precious Lotus Lantern to send Liu Yanchang and his son away. The Heavenly Soldiers were unable to stop them.

Yang Jian was furious and entered the fray against Third Holy Mother himself. It looked as though the two were locked in an even battle, but if Yang Jian truly set his mind on attacking ruthlessly, Third Holy Mother without the Precious Lotus Lantern would be captured within a few exchanges.

"Master! That Precious Lotus Lantern is simply too powerful! We can't stop it!" the Howling Celestial Dog ran over and said aggrievedly.

Hearing this, Yang Jian no longer dared to hold back. He used the Divine Ability, Mountain Collapse, Earth Shatter, splitting Mount Hua's Lotus Peak in two. Third Holy Mother was suppressed beneath Lotus Peak, after which he laid down layer upon layer of formations and restrictions. So long as Third Holy Mother remained within those restrictions, her magic power would be continuously drained, making escape absolutely impossible.

"Nothing that happened today is to be spoken of outside this place! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had spent much time with Yang Jian and knew him well. They knew that Second Master was normally easy to get along with, but the icy aura he now radiated left them unable to breathe. They hurriedly acknowledged the order.

After returning to his own True Lord's Palace, Yang Jian remembered that he had just joined a Chat Group. The mysterious voice had told him that the group contained an opportunity meant for him, friends from the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and a chance to change his fate. Without hesitation, he had chosen to join. His cultivation had long reached a level where heavenly demons could not invade him, so he was not concerned that it was some sort of scheme.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Yang Jian of Guangjiang Pass! Greetings, everyone!

Hm? Chen Huang received the message. He glanced at Xiao Shan, pretended that he was tired from cultivation, lay down on the grass, and closed his eyes to rest. In truth, his consciousness had entered the Chat Group.

Loli Connoisseur: Welcome, True Lord!

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Welcome, True Lord!

Yang Jian had lost his father and elder brother from a young age, while his mother had been suppressed beneath Peach Mountain by the Jade Emperor. Only after becoming the disciple of True Lord Yu Ding and learning an array of great skills had he been able to support each other with Third Holy Mother and make it to where they were today.

He understood the importance of strength very well, and could not help asking, "May I ask you all, after Yang Jian cultivated bitterly for several thousand years, my magic power has become exceedingly difficult to advance further. Does this Chat Group have any method that can help me go another step forward?"

Yang Jian's thoughts at that moment were the same as they had been in the past. As long as he could defeat the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the gods of heaven, he could naturally protect Third Sister completely.

Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Several thousand years? This old Daoist has lived for nearly a hundred years and already finds that no easy feat. What kind of concept are several thousand years?

Loli Connoisseur: True Lord, you can open the Mall section in the upper left corner. The Mall contains all sorts of things that can be exchanged for or purchased. Its products include items from your world, mine, True Man Zhang's, and the worlds of several group administrators. There are quite a few things that can help you advance further. The Mall also provides detailed instructions on how to obtain Points.

Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Many thanks!

Chen Huang's way of judging things was naturally to see what was expensive, since expensive things were probably better. But determining what he actually needed was another matter entirely.

Yang Jian's world was quite similar to the prehistoric Three Realms, and its cultivation system was likewise nearly identical. Yet items from his world were dozens of times cheaper than those from the group administrator's world, even for products with the same name. This probably involved World Level.

After considering it for a long while, Chen Huang finally asked, "Has True Lord encountered some trouble?"
