Chapter 38: Yang Jian Seeks Treasure and Meets Yang Jiao

  On this day, above the Eastern Sea of the Primordial Chaos.

  A "dashing" figure, flying quickly, holding a three-pointed double-edged knife, wearing silver-white armor and a white-gold jade crown, but this outfit can't hide his slender body. Rather than saying he's a majestic general, it's better to say he's a female dressed as a male, like Hua Mulan...

  No mistake, this man is indeed Yang Jian who has come out of his shell. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and the ignorant young man from back then has gradually understood the ways of the world. Since learning that his mother, Yao Ji Xian Zi, was suppressed at Peach Mountain, Yang Jian, with a very masculine demeanor, has been worried sick.

  It's not easy to cultivate the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Elixir to the third turn, the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal level, but this kid couldn't sit still. He kept begging Yu Ding True Man to help him rescue his mother. Think about it, Yu Ding is a normal and upright Daoist cultivator, how could he bear the entreaties of such a handsome man? And so, accompanied by goosebumps all over his body, Yu Ding True Man yielded.

  "You go to the Eastern Sea, Ziwei Xian Island, and find your cousin Yulong Taizi's apprentice. On that island, there is a crystal treasure trove, inside which is an axe that can break through the seal of Huang Tian Yu Di." Yu Ding Zhenren tightly closed his eyes, silently reciting in his heart: I am not gay, I am not gay.

  Fortunately, Yang Jian was eager to save his mother and learned the method from Yu Ding's mouth. He hastily left Yuquan Mountain, and a good Daoist finally escaped disaster. Yu Ding discovered that his stagnant Dao heart had actually made significant progress with Yang Jian's departure!

  "What Master said is right, only by guarding one's heart can one attain the Tao, no evil Heaven Lord..."

  Yang Jian had learned from Zhang Zilong and also mastered the supreme divine art of escaping and fleeing - Golden Rainbow Immortal Method. Therefore, although this road was far away, it would not take several days to spend.

  Before long, through the hazy sea fog, Yang Jian saw three islands surrounded by a halo of immortals, slowly rotating along with the Xiantian Sanci Great Array, mysterious and extraordinary. The islands were filled with lush gardens, rare flowers, and exotic birds and beasts everywhere.

  Yang Jian calmed his mind and slowly flew towards the Purple Wei Three Islands.

  "Yang Jiaojiao pays respects at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, under the gate of the Zhuang Sect."

  Inside the Qin-yu Pavilion, Chang'e, Xuan Nü, San Xiao and others including Yang Chao were gathered together playing and laughing when they suddenly heard a clear voice with a hint of softness that made it hard to distinguish whether it was male or female coming from outside.

  Yang Chao was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing with joy, her delicate face flushing with excitement: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's my second brother, it's his voice!" She jumped forward and shook Chang'e's arm excitedly. It had been twenty years since Yang Chao had become an immortal, which might seem too quick to some people. But have you seen what they use as food on the Purple Bamboo Island? Peaches? Daily fruit. Ginseng fruit? Hmm, only served at New Year's Eve dinner. The golden lotus from the Western Merit Pool? Those dozens of lotus seeds collected at the last wedding are now growing in the pond behind the house, and there's lotus soup every day, although the quality might not be as high as before.

  Hmmm, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir... This seems to be the red envelope that everyone gives out during Chinese New Year.

  What about the moon flower and jade dew? Every time Chang'e comes, she brings a lot of them. The top-grade moon flowers are stored in the wine cellar, and the second-grade ones are used to make tea...

  What about the power of the stars? The Emperor Ziwei took good care of his own Daoist temple back then, and even a small goldfish born here could give birth to spiritual intelligence within a few years...

  To sum it up, Yang Xiao this little girl, occupying a precious land, took twenty years to barely reach the heavenly fairy realm, really didn't do justice to her Chaotic Jade Stone physique!

  About this matter, Chang'e, who took the place of Zhāng Zǐlóng as a teacher, didn't spare her own younger sister from scolding. However, Yang Chāo was too playful, and since becoming familiar with Bì Xiāo, she quickly succeeded Zhang Jīngwén to become the new noble among the two pests in Heaven's Court. Chang'e has a gentle temperament, being cold towards outsiders but overly warm towards her loved ones.

  If it weren't for the presence of the cold-faced female judge, Xuan Nü, it's uncertain whether Yang Chan would have been able to attain the Dao of Immortality.

  At this moment, I heard that my husband's second cousin came, Chang'e hurriedly sent Yun Xiao out to greet him. Yang Chao hadn't seen her brother for many years, so she naturally couldn't sit in the house and wait, so she followed Yun Xiao and walked out of the Ziwei Island together.

  From a distance, I saw my second brother's familiar and beautiful face, and Xiao Yatou rushed up with a burst of cheers.

  Yang Jian was waiting for someone to arrive on the island when a green figure suddenly rushed over. Yang, who had been frequently harassed by male cultivators near Yuquan Mountain in recent years, almost instinctively hugged his chest and dodged the strange object with a "whoosh".

  Xiao Chuan'er thought that her second brother would catch her like when they were young, but Yang Jia didn't even notice her and dodged away quickly, leaving the little heavenly being no time to react.

  "Boom!"

  Yun Xiao followed closely behind and saw Yang Chao's rather ungraceful buttocks as she fell headfirst into the sea.

  "Ah!" Yun Xiao exaggeratedly covered her small mouth in shock, no good, Little Shifu was going to cry... Yang Chao, who had lost her parents and older brother since childhood, was still very pampered by everyone on Ziwei Island, seemingly not much different from the little princess Zhang Jingwen back then. Chang'e Fairy had poured all her maternal love onto her, Yang Chao was actually very sensible and wouldn't be arrogant because of being spoiled, unfortunately, weak-willed Yang Chao cried easily, and once she started crying, it was hard to stop.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, Yang Xiao slowly emerged from the water with a small head, and her adorable little face already had tear stains.

  Yang Jie felt something was off the moment she fell into the water, because that fleeting face looked just like Sanmei from back then, only slightly grown up. When Yang Chao poked out her little head, Yang Jie instantly confirmed it - who else could have that wronged little expression but her own sister?

  "Sister!"

  A loud cry, Yang Jian directly threw away the three-pointed two-edged knife and hugged the little Yang Chao who emerged from the water. Hmm... that scene, no matter how you look at it, is like a sister hugging her younger sister. At least Yun Xiao, who was covering his mouth beside him, thought so. And... Yang Jian, you dare not to cry with tears of pear blossoms!

  In the end, Yang Jia was overjoyed and defeated her grievances. She rarely stopped crying, but she couldn't help it - Yang Zhan cried even harder than her. Everyone should know that when two people cry together, whoever cries more is the final winner. The loser will definitely go comfort the one who can cry more...

  Chang'e had seen Yang Jian in his youth, and now seeing him grown up still left her stunned. As for the generation gap between San Xing and Yang Jian and Yang Chan, Chang'e directly conveyed Zhang Zilong's words - each has their own say, and it's fine to address each other as equals.

  Yang Jia's heart was cut off, after hugging his sister and crying for a while, he returned to normal.

  These years, in order to avoid hurting Xiaocui's heart, Zhang Zilong strictly ordered the people of Ziwu Island not to tell her about Yaoji Xianzi's affairs. After all, it was Yang Jia who saved his mother by splitting the mountain, and Yang Cui grew up happily.

  But now that Yang Jian has come to ask for the Lingbao to save his mother, things can no longer be hidden. Yang Chan had thought that both her parents were already dead, but it turns out that one is suffering in obscurity at Taoshan, and the other is wandering aimlessly in the Western Regions. Her young heart was almost shattered, and Chang'e hastily hugged her, softly comforting her.

  "Sister, how's Mother now?" Yang Chao asked with a sob in Chang'e's arms, while Yang Jiaolong also perked up his ears and wiped away tears.

  Chang'e smiled: "Your brother-in-law has been in seclusion for many years, but he had already made arrangements long ago. The mountain gods of the lands near Peach Mountain have all been secretly instructed by him and will not treat Aunt poorly."

  It's indeed the case, and the Jade Emperor also agrees with this matter. After all, suppressing Yao Ji back then was unavoidable. Now, letting his own sister live a better life in that godforsaken place on Peach Mountain, who could possibly have any objections? If anyone has any opinions, they can go to the Beheading Platform to enjoy the view!

  As for the mountain-opening axe Yang Jian mentioned, Chang'e did have an impression of it. It seemed to be lent to Da Yu to control the flood back then, and after King Yu's merits were fulfilled, he sent someone to return it. Now it has been lying in the crystal treasury all along. Yang Jian wanted to use it to save his mother, so Chang'e naturally agreed.

  In the endless chaos, a golden light suddenly flashed by, and in the golden light, a majestic middle-aged man was seen. The golden dragon robe fluttered with the chaotic airflow, but his face was full of killing intent. This person was none other than the Jade Emperor Haotian.

  The Haotian who was furious about the underwear incident finally made up his mind to find his own ancestor, Hongjun Daozu.

  But little did he know, this departure would trigger a new catastrophe.
