Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: Immortals can have troubles too?
Loli Connoisseur: Why wouldn't immortals have troubles? In the Heavenly Court of True Lord's world, many immortals harbor Longing for the Mortal World, so Queen Mother wishes to curb this unhealthy trend.
After reading their replies, Yang Jian was filled with doubt as well.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Why is Longing for the Mortal World considered an unhealthy trend? Can immortals not have the seven emotions and six desires?
After seeing this, Chen Huang pondered for a long time.
Loli Connoisseur: In my view, whether immortals or mortals, everyone has the seven emotions and six desires. So your latter question is basically pointless. Immortals do have the seven emotions and six desires, but I think they need to keep them under control.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Oh? How so?
Loli Connoisseur: True Lord naturally knows more than an outsider like me about certain matters. Immortals each have their own divine duties. I assume True Lord knows that.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Naturally.
Loli Connoisseur: Besides their divine duties, the Heavenly Court is obligated to maintain order across the Three Realms. However, immortals also receive all sorts of benefits, such as better cultivation resources, the Heavenly Court's protection, and, if their rank is high enough, the chance to attend Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, among many other things.
Now, as for why immortals cannot long for the mortal world—suppose an immortal secretly descended to the mortal realm and married a mortal. What do you think the other immortals would think? Wouldn't every one of them want to descend as well? If they all longed for the mortal world, would anyone still do the Heavenly Court's work? If no one did the Heavenly Court's work and chaos broke out in the Three Realms, then no one would deal with it. Enjoying all those benefits while acting like that.
Tell me, isn't that an unhealthy trend?
Yang Jian fell silent for a moment.
Loli Connoisseur: True Lord, you are the Heavenly Court's Judicial God. You should understand these principles better than anyone.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: I am the Heavenly God of Justice, yet my younger sister knowingly married a mortal despite knowing my identity, and even bore a son! She got married without even informing me. Would I have harmed her?
And now look what happened! She has caused a grave disaster! The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals even reported it to me! What else could I do? If it were anyone else, I would handle them exactly as I should, without mercy. But that is my younger sister! Her son is still my nephew, after all! He carries the bloodline of my Yang family! Sigh.
Just a few hours ago, I personally suppressed her beneath Lotus Peak on Mount Hua.
Loli Connoisseur: True Lord, when your sister, the Third Holy Mother, first got together with Liu Yanchang, some celestial maidens in Heaven already knew. They also knew about you destroying Pangu's eyelash.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Who are "they"?
Loli Connoisseur: Chang'e, Hundred Flowers Fairy, the Fourth Princess, perhaps even more.
Yang Jian clenched his right fist tightly. It was clear that his heart was far from calm.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: How did you know?
Loli Connoisseur: In the world where I lived in my previous life, there were legendary stories about you. There were many versions and many different accounts. In one version, the Third Holy Mother got together with Liu Yanchang, then you suppressed her beneath Mount Hua. Sixteen years later, your nephew set out to seek a master, learn his craft, split the mountain, and save his mother.
What Chen Huang had described was naturally the television drama Precious Lotus Lantern. He could always claim, Ah, I watched some television dramas, novels, and comics in my previous life, and they told stories about you. Perhaps some writers or comic artists had accidentally learned information about other worlds and eventually adapted it into their works. This was also a common trick in Chat Group novels.
But he did not know whether this account was true himself. There might be someone in the group who knew the connections behind it all, so he did not want to overstate things.
Loli Connoisseur: There are many other versions, and their differences are huge, so there is no point mentioning them. If you do not believe me, you can ask True Man Zhang. There are also mythological stories about you in his world.
Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: This old Daoist indeed has legends about True Lord here, as well as stories about your honored younger sister. Now that little friend mentions it, I do remember. When this old Daoist roamed the martial world in the past, I heard such tales as well. Looking at it now, the differences are not too great.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Please forgive me, both of you. These two matters are extremely important to Yang Jian. To save my Third Sister, I cannot yet lose my position as Judicial God.
Loli Connoisseur: True Lord, have you thought of how to save your sister?
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Not yet.
Chen Huang could not decide either. Should he say it, or not?
At the end of Precious Lotus Lantern, the Heavenly Rules were successfully changed, but only great love could change them. To put it plainly, if Chen Xiang wanted to change the Heavenly Rules for his mother's sake, it would be absolutely impossible. Unless he did it for all living beings of the Three Realms. In the end, Chen Xiang comprehended great love, tearfully apologized to his mother, and finally succeeded in changing the Heavenly Rules.
This method had far too many variables. Yang Jian's success had also been highly coincidental. After all, he had endured all kinds of misunderstanding and witnessed far too many people kicking him while he was down. Several times, he had nearly died and vanished from existence. In the end, Yang Jian had been gambling, and he had won.
Chen Huang had watched Precious Lotus Lantern many times before. If viewed through the lens of conspiracy theories, then someone must have been fanning the flames behind the Third Holy Mother's Longing for the Mortal World. Most likely, it had been immortals such as Chang'e and Hundred Flowers Fairy. Perhaps they had been watching Yang Jian make a fool of himself. This was also connected to events from the prequel, around the time Yang Jian was granted his title.
It was also possible that someone wanted to change the Heavenly Rules too, and the Third Holy Mother had been pushed out as a pawn. You, Yang Jian, are the Heavenly God of Justice—could you really bring yourself to act against your own sister? It was not impossible that they had thought this way.
Chen Huang's speculation came from Chang'e's words in the drama. She had personally said that she had long known about the Third Holy Mother and Liu Yanchang being together, but could not bear to separate them. Second, only two people knew that Yang Jian had destroyed Pangu's eyelash: Chang'e and the Third Holy Mother. Yet later, Hundred Flowers Fairy used it to threaten Yang Jian. That was why Yang Jian had Bull Demon King capture her.
So who had leaked the secret? It could not have been the Third Holy Mother, could it? Would she leak it so others could threaten her own elder brother? Then it could only have been Chang'e. According to conspiracy theories, Chang'e was definitely not a good person. But if one set conspiracy theories aside, perhaps she truly had nothing to do with it. Honestly speaking, Chen Huang did not want the goddess of his childhood to be a bad person. His dream would shatter.
Loli Connoisseur: I think you can start from three angles.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: Which three?
Loli Connoisseur: First, keep the Third Holy Mother suppressed for now, and do not let anyone know she is imprisoned on Mount Hua. Second, make yourself stronger—strong enough to protect your entire family. Third, carefully plan how to change the Heavenly Rules. If the matter is exposed, you can simply come to our worlds and take refuge.
Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: This... can we travel to other people's worlds?
Loli Connoisseur: There is an item like that in the Mall: a World-Crossing Talisman for 1,000 Points. It is far too expensive; we simply cannot afford it. More importantly, Points are too hard to earn.
Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin: This old Daoist agrees. They are far too hard to earn. Even now, this old Daoist is still empty-handed. Not a single point.
Chat Group: The methods of earning Points were also set by the group owner. I have no authority to change them. However, it seems you have not noticed the small sell option in the Mall. Valuable items that you do not need can be exchanged with group members, or sold directly. The Chat Group will naturally buy them back with Points.
Magic Treasures, Spiritual Materials, Precious Medicine, or exceptionally good Cultivation Manuals. Simply put, resource-type items are always welcome. As for Cultivation Manuals, do not submit duplicates; they must be ones the Chat Group does not already have.
Loli Connoisseur: But doesn't the Group Mall already have items from True Man Zhang's world and mine?
Chat Group: Yes. The cultivation techniques in your worlds are largely similar and have little value, though unique ones will be accepted. However, Soul Tools are categorized as Magic Treasures, Inner Elixirs as resources, and Martial Souls as bloodlines. The Chat Group accepts these. Bloodlines the Chat Group does not possess will be accepted; ones it already has will not. Divinities, immortal herbs, and various Spiritual Materials are also accepted. Items of too low a grade are not.
Chat Group: The same applies to Zhang Sanfeng's world. Spiritual Materials, medicinal herbs, and treasures that increase cultivation are all wanted. If you encounter some special items, I will give you a prompt.
Loli Connoisseur: Uh, @Chat Group, I cannot find where to sell anything.
Chat Group: Look in the item listings.
Loli Connoisseur: .
While Chen Huang was conversing with the Chat Group, Yang Jian took out a treasured jade pendant he carried with him. It was a piece of jade he had worn since childhood, and after accompanying him for so many years, it had become a Magic Treasure.
He immediately chose to sell the jade pendant and received 5,000 Points.
Best Uncle in the Three Realms: I have already sold a treasured jade pendant I carried with me and received 5,000 Points.
Ninety-Nine Year Old Virgin:
Loli Connoisseur: .
Chat Group: All right, I have revised the Points description in greater detail. You can check it yourselves in the Mall.
