As the last chapter left off:
"Grand White Gold Star painstakingly calculated fate; Yang Jian attained the Golden Immortal Dao. A son feared for his mother's safety, spear in hand, determined to storm Heaven."
Yang Jian fought his way through every pass, while the Heavenly Court conveniently let him through at every turn.
After enduring countless hardships, Yang Jian finally arrived before the immortal mountain where his mother was imprisoned.
Hearing his mother call softly, Yang Jian's Dao heart nearly melted away. He wanted to rush forward, only to stumble into the Illusionary Realm that had been waiting for him for years, where he learned the truth of what had happened back then.
Li Changshou had finally put to use, bit by bit, every foreshadowing he had planted all those years ago.
Watching Yang Jian within the Illusion Array, Li Changshou's heart stirred slightly. He thought of another fellow, who, who knew how many years from now, would want to stir up trouble in the Heavenly Court. He wondered whether that fellow's circumstances could be as favorable as Yang Jian's.
The monkey had no family ties to the Jade Emperor...
Right?
Li Changshou blinked, suddenly recalling the famous saying that anything was possible.
This was the Primordial Wilderness, after all. Hard to say.
Tsk, hard to say.
Steadying his mind, Li Changshou sighed softly as he watched Yang Jian reunite with Fairy Yunhua. Then, from beside him, came a long sigh filled with emotion...
The "spectator" seated in a certain supreme seat had reddened eyes.
Li Changshou had originally wanted to casually remark, "Your Majesty is a man of feeling as well," but swallowed the words before they left his mouth.
Better not flatter him so much.
His Majesty was about to float right out of the Ninth Heaven Palace!
