Refining Yang Jian Inside the Eight-Trigram Furnace

"Master, could Supreme Lord Lao be planning to refine Yang Jian?"

Bajie thought of a terrifying possibility and could not help speaking up.

Tang Luo shook his head. "I don't know."

Supreme Lord Lao stood at the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea Realm. People of such stature all shared one trait.

No one could ever tell what they were thinking.

Tang Luo himself, for example, did not understand why Tathagata believed that he, a transmigrator, was the reincarnation of his disciple, Golden Cicada.

Later, after Sha Wujing had been reborn as an artifact spirit, Tang Luo came up with a possibility: perhaps Golden Cicada really had been one of his past lives that he himself knew nothing about.

In Tathagata's eyes, he was his disciple.

Yang Jian was a disciple of Jade Void Palace. Supreme Lord Lao, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun were fellow disciples.

After the war of Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun went into seclusion.

Their disciples could be said to have all come under Supreme Lord Lao's protection.

Supreme Lord Lao himself had never widely accepted disciples; he merely looked after the disciples of his two junior brothers.

Supreme Lord Lao was essentially Yang Jian's grandmaster's grandmaster.

There was no reason for him to refine Yang Jian.

Yang Jian might not give the Heavenly Court the time of day, but that did not mean he disrespected Supreme Lord Lao. He was merely proud and aloof, not some ungrateful wretch who betrayed his master and ancestors.

Only then could there be a situation where Yang Jian was being refined within the Eight-Trigram Furnace.

From Tang Luo's interactions with Mu Yang, he knew that it was easier to change rivers
