Chapter 2: The Young Master of Our Family Comes of Age

  The cultivators do not keep track of years, and in the blink of an eye, it has been tens of thousands of millions. The years have passed like flowing water. Now, the two tribes of witches and demons are at a boiling point, and the second heavenly calamity is about to unfold. Our future Heavenly Court's First Prince, Jade Dragon, cannot help but take action now.

  At the beginning, the original Heavenly Venerable thought of the Jade Dragon's body carrying the ancient divine dragon's virtual shadow, and also inherited the physical quality of the Hunyuan Yuanshi and the Jade Pool. The main body was extremely hard, just right for practicing the Xuanmen Hu Jiao Shen Gong Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong. The Jiuzhuan Xuan Gong is a method that uses power to prove the Tao, but also takes into account the yuan shen, it is the supreme method of dual cultivation of the divine body. This was created by the three Qing ancestors from their ancestor Wu's Shu tribe refining body Shen Gong Ba Jiu Xuan Gong, combined with the power of the three saints to comprehend the Xuanmen Hu Jiao Shen Gong. Until now, only Yu Longzi can cultivate it, and the physical strength required is too high.

  Jade Dragon has been under the Original Heavenly Master for a thousand years, relying on countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the abundant spiritual energy from Mount Kunlun. He finally achieved the fifth turn of his Xuan Gong, entering the Golden Immortal realm (the stages of Xuanmen cultivation are: immortal, Xuanxian, Taiyi Xuanxian, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, quasi-sage, sage, Heavenly Way. The fifth turn of Xuan Gong just reached the peak of Golden Immortal, and the ninth turn would make one a saint on the spot). However, after the fifth turn, the energy within Longzi's body was almost depleted, leaving only the purple dragon virtual shadow in his brow that had not been refined.

  At this moment, he was wearing a purple dragon-patterned Taoist robe, with a purple gold yin-yang crown on his head, holding a purple willow star fan in his hand. He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome and resolute face, but there was a hint of an almost imperceptible wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. It was Zhang Zilong, the Jade Dragon Taoist Master, who had been awakened from his meditation by the Original Heavenly Venerable.

  Entering the Jade Void Hall, I found my twelve senior brothers, plus two registered disciples Yun Zhongzi and Nanji Xianweng, as well as the deputy master of the Xuan Jiao sect, making Yu Longzi's egg ache extremely. The old Daoist Ransheng was very lecherous, basically all the second-generation disciples of the Xuan Jiao sect were present.

  "You rascal, you actually made all your senior brothers wait for you, how detestable!" The Original Heavenly Venerable scolded with a smile as he saw Yulongzi walk in.

  Can't help but say that the original Tianzun is extremely fond of this little brother, almost as if he were his own son. It's also because Yulongzi himself has been striving hard, although he's usually mischievous and disobedient, but he knows that the future will be fraught with difficulties, so he never dares to slack off in his cultivation. Now, among the Xuanjiao sect, except for the deputy sect leader Rendleng Daoist who is a guest of the Zixu Palace and a pre-heavenly deity, countless years of accumulation have only allowed him to reach the quasi-saint realm of cutting off one's corpse. All other second-generation disciples of the Xuanjiao sect are at the golden immortal realm, while Nanji Xianweng and Yunzhongzi's two registered disciples have just reached the Taiyi Mystic Immortal realm. It can be seen that Yulong's five-turns-of-the-mystic-void golden immortal peak is in what position within the Xuanjiao sect.

  "Heh heh, Master, you're too kind. I'm not trying to flatter you, but I've been in seclusion for almost two hundred years, working hard to comprehend the Great Way. If it weren't for your summons, I'd probably still be meditating." Yulong chuckled and said with a flattering tone to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

  Yuanshen Zun had long been aware that Yulongzi had been in seclusion for two hundred years, from the late Golden Immortal stage to the peak of the Golden Immortal stage, and only needed an opportunity to break through the Golden Immortal stage and obtain the Taiyi Dao fruit. He was extremely satisfied with Yulong.

  "You little monkey, never mind, considering you're quite diligent, I won't blame you this time." The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign stroked his long beard, chuckling and explaining to the disciples. Except for Fēng Dēng who was jealous of Yù Lóng Zǐ, the others all genuinely liked this little junior brother and congratulated Yù Lóng Zǐ along with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign's words.

  After everyone had quieted down, Guang Chengzi, as the eldest senior brother, opened his mouth and asked: "I wonder what Master has called us together for this time?"

  Yu Long knew that it was likely related to the Witch and Demon Tribulations. As expected, the Original Heavenly Venerable said: "The two tribes of witches and demons do not cultivate virtues, but instead create killing karma, causing chaos in the vast expanse. Now, their fate is nearing its end. Recently, the great army of the demon tribe slaughtered the human tribe, wanting to refine the Witch Slaughter Sword. Billions of humans were killed, and as your master and the other sages are restricted by other saints, they cannot take action. However, you can plan for the human tribe, preserve their bloodline, and also accumulate merits."

  Yuanshu Tianzun's words shocked everyone present, after all, twelve Golden Immortals and the Jade Dragon were mostly from human tribes, and now their own kind was being slaughtered, how could they not be worried.

  Yulong also worried about his parents and sisters under Jiuxian Mountain, but soon thought that they were the masters of the heavenly court appointed by the founder of Taoism, and there was no worry about their lives, but some hardships would always exist. It seems that he should return home early to help his parents and sisters get through this disaster!

  Fortunately, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign did not view humans as pawns like some legends say. In fact, the Three Pure Ones had an extraordinary affection for the human race, which shared countless similarities with their father god Pangu. Thus, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign dispatched his disciples to help humans overcome the calamity. He was so concerned that he even sent Burning Lamp, the deputy leader of the church, to assist.

  "Yu Long, you come here." Seeing all the disciples going down to prepare, Yuan Tian Zun stayed behind with Yu Long Zi.

  Jade Dragon knelt on the ground and paid respects to the Original Heavenly Venerable, addressing him as "Master". In his heart, he muttered: "Is this going to be a gift for himself? The Saint's move is also at least a Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure level. His own crossing has been somewhat inadequate, and by the end of the Great Calamity of Witchcraft and Demons, the good treasures have basically not fallen to him. If he wants one, he can only rely on his Master."

  As expected, the Original Heavenly Venerable pondered for a moment, then took out a black long spear surrounded by a murderous aura. As soon as it appeared, the temperature of the entire Jade Void Palace dropped by tens of degrees. The Jade Dragon sucked in a breath of air, "Hiss... what kind of treasure is this? What a massive murderous aura!"

  "This object was originally obtained by the Master on the Precious Cliff, a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure. It was originally the magic ancestor Luo's pre-heavenly supreme treasure, the Gun of God-slaying, but it was damaged by the Dao Ancestor's creation jade certificate and lost its rank. Now it is only a top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, but except for not having the effect of suppressing the aura, its power is not inferior to that of the pre-heavenly supreme treasure. You are cultivating the Xuanmen Protection God Technique, and in the future, you will inevitably encounter troubles. This treasure can be integrated with your use." After saying this, he handed over the Gun of God-slaying to Yulong and helped him initially refine it with his great magical power.

  After the initial refining, the murderous aura of the God-slaying Gun was retracted, and a thick breath formed a dark purple light film on the gun's body. The entire gun spirit was as tall as a person, and the wheat ear made of Chaos Qinglian leaves at the gun head also emitted the breath of innate spiritual treasures. Jade Dragon stroked the God-slaying Gun with joy, but suddenly changed his face, looking at the Original Heavenly Venerable with a resentful gaze: "Master, each of my senior brothers has at least two or three treasures, why do I only have one here? Don't tell me you're poor and have no more treasures? Then I think your Pangu Fan is pretty good, how about letting your disciple use it for tens of thousands of years?"

  Yuanshen was furious, his beard almost crooked with rage: "You little brat, you got a good deal and still dare to show off! This one treasure of yours is worth more than ten treasures from your senior brothers! And on top of that, you have the Ziwei Star Chart Fan, its defensive power is no less than my Central Wu Earth Yellow Flag! One defense, one offense, perfect combination, now get out of here!"

  Seeing his own teacher blow up, Yulong's feet were greased, and the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Skill combined with the Jade Clear Sky Cloud Immortal Technique. In a flash, he disappeared without a trace. The two children beside the Original Heavenly Venerable stared blankly, secretly thinking that Brother Yulong's cloud-stepping technique was quite formidable, and perhaps even the legendary Kunpeng Old Ancestor of the Honghuang era was no match for him?

  Yuanshen also couldn't help but laugh at this, as the Jade Dragon had a strange hobby. Apart from the Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Tao, he was particularly fond of researching the art of riding clouds and fog, flying through the skies and traversing the earth. For over a thousand years, Yuanshen had been driven mad by his antics, until finally, he had no choice but to run to his senior brother, Taishang Laojun, to beg for a technique called the Golden Rainbow. After cultivating it to its peak, a single rainbow-colored light could span twenty million miles, far surpassing the great Peng's spread wings and even the筋斗云 of later generations.

  Here is the translation:

  Just look at our Jade Dragon shoes, he thought to himself as he escaped from the Jade Void Palace with a sense of pride: Ha! My master always mocks me for being useless, but I've been secretly studying this escape technique. You think everyone is like you, a saintly supreme being who never needs to run away? But fortunately, over the past thousand years, I haven't been idle either. I've almost explored the entire Kunlun Mountains, and although I didn't find any powerful treasures, I did collect several low-grade innate spiritual treasures. Let me count them... there are four in total. One is this Purple Wei命Granting Immortal Robe on my body, a defensive treasure that's not particularly special; one is this Purple Jade Gourd at my waist, which although not as impressive as the gourds on the Heavenly Spirit Root Vine, is still a good treasure for nourishing spiritual energy; another is the Dragon-Slaying Sword, an attacking innate spiritual treasure. The Divine Murder Gun is too eye-catching, and I don't want to use it unless absolutely necessary. This sword can be used as a daily weapon. The last one has been bothering me for a long time... it's a book-type spiritual treasure with three golden characters that make my heart knot: "Genesis". Isn't this the treasure of the Western Birdman, Jehovah? How did it end up on Kunlun Mountains? This book contains a small portion of creation rules and can be used as a furnace to refine treasures. I see it has some use, so I reluctantly took it (You scoundrel! You're reluctant to take an innate spiritual treasure? How despicable!)

  The gods and immortals dispersed after leaving Mount Kunlun, each going to different places to help the human race. Yu Long naturally accompanied Guang Chengzi back to Jiuxian Mountain to visit his parents and family.

  Only the jade dragon shoes flying in the air, a purple dragon robe with a magnificent pattern - Ziwei's life-giving immortal clothes, carrying the dragon-slaying sword on his back, a purple jade gourd at his waist, one hand waving the Ziwei star fan, and the other holding the golden "Genesis" divine book. A person with good Taoist cultivation can see that this guy is a human-shaped treasure trove, while those with low Taoist cultivation think he has a Confucian knight's aura, which is quite enchanting. In fact, Guang Chengzi's evaluation of him is: You are just a nouveau riche among the immortals!

  He didn't care about Jade Dragon at all. If you have the ability, come out with a burst of wealth too? My brother still has a gun that can be compared to the treasure of the gods, taking it out is not going to make you angry! Cut! He raised his middle finger at Guang Chengzi and walked forward with Jade Dragon.

  Alas, with the Nine Immortal Mountains in sight, Yu Long's heart was filled with excitement and impatience. He would soon meet his parents and sister of this life, including the legendary Heavenly Emperor Huang Tian, the Golden Mother of Yaochi, and the seven enchanting fairy sisters, the Seven Fairy Maidens, all renowned figures!

  Suddenly, Guang Chengzi's face changed behind him. The experienced him felt a chill, "Be careful, junior brother. Jiuxian Mountain is probably not peaceful now. We must be cautious and beware, it's autumn with many incidents!"

  Upon hearing Guang Chengzi's words, Yu Long also felt a wave of panic, damn it, the demon clan wouldn't have acted so quickly, they've already killed their way to Jiuxian Mountain!
