From beginning to end, his goal was to kill Yang Jian, not to do anything to King Zhou.
To put it bluntly, even if the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals combined their strength, they couldn't do anything to King Zhou.
But killing Yang Jian and killing King Zhou were two completely different concepts. They couldn't kill King Zhou, but could they not kill Yang Jian, this Chan Cult traitor?
As he spoke, he had already summoned the Supreme Treasure, Fantian Seal, and suppressed it with all his might towards Yang Jian.
The other Chan Cult Golden Immortals also did not hesitate, all of them fully unleashed the Magic Treasures in their hands, suppressing Yang Jian together.
Zi Shou smiled coldly. The Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals' intention was clear: they were preparing to ignore him and directly attack Yang Jian.
Back then, when he and the Jade Emperor Hao Tian fought above the Nine Heavens, it seemed that not everyone had awakened to the truth.
After all, Saints could actually discern the profound mystery within that battle, knowing that it involved a conflict between Heaven and Man.
It was not strange for the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, as direct disciples of the Saint Yuanshi Tianzun, to know the profound mystery of that battle.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, there was still a question mark regarding the true strength of him, the Human Emperor.
With Human Clan Luck protecting him, he could unleash strength at the Quasi-Saint level, even fighting to a stalemate with a Quasi-Saint like the Jade Emperor Hao Tian.
But this was not without limitations. As long as they did not actively attack him, the Human Emperor, the Human Clan Luck would not condense.
In other words, in the eyes of the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, though he, the Human Emperor, was strong, he was only good at defense and lacked in offense.
"You dare to insult my Human Clan so blatantly in front of You? It seems You truly don't take You, the Human Emperor, seriously!
Since that's the case, today You will let You know that You cannot be insulted, and the Human Clan cannot be bullied!" Zi Shou said in a deep voice.
Since the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals had already made their move, there was nothing more to say. He could just teach the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals a lesson.
As he spoke, the Human Clan Luck condensed, and his aura began to surge continuously, reaching the Quasi-Saint level in an instant.
Even facing more than a dozen Supreme Treasures, he remained unfazed, not even taking out any Supreme Treasures, and directly threw a punch.
Facing more than a dozen Supreme Treasures bare-handed, including a Supreme Treasure like the Fantian Seal, was unimaginable for anyone.
In the world, cultivation is fundamental. A Grand Immortal is stronger than a Golden Immortal, and a Golden Immortal is stronger than a Profound Immortal; this is common knowledge.
But this is not absolute, nor is it an insurmountable chasm. There are still many ways to bridge the gap in cultivation levels.
For example, with a powerful array, it is not difficult for a Profound Immortal to defeat a Golden Immortal.
Or a powerful Magic Treasure, such as Guang Chengzi's Supreme Treasure, Fantian Seal, which can also enable a Profound Immortal to defeat a Golden Immortal.
If one possesses a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, it is not impossible for a Profound Immortal to defeat a Grand Immortal.
If one possesses a Supreme Treasure, it is even more exaggerated; it can even allow a Profound Immortal to defeat a Quasi-Saint level expert.
Now, King Zhou was actually confronting more than a dozen Supreme Treasures bare-handed, which seemed utterly incomprehensible to the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals.
Even with the Human Clan Luck protecting him, it was impossible for King Zhou to be injured, but to be so arrogant was truly not taking the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals seriously.
However, this was also a good thing for them. Their original goal was not to deal with King Zhou, but to kill Yang Jian.
Now, King Zhou was so arrogant, confronting more than a dozen Supreme Treasures bare-handed, which was extremely beneficial to them.
In their view, Yang Jian was already doomed. Even if King Zhou's strength was formidable, how could he contend with more than a dozen Supreme Treasures?
"Boom!"
A terrifying force instantly erupted as Zi Shou's punch collided with the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals' more than a dozen Magic Treasures.
Amidst the vast power, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals all changed their expressions, looking at King Zhou with incredulity.
Chapter 172: Fleeing in Disarray!
What did the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals see? They looked at King Zhou with incredulity, as if they had seen something incomprehensible.
They indeed saw something incomprehensible, which is why they had such expressions.
After all, among beings below the Saint level, to directly contend with more than a dozen Supreme Treasures bare-handed seemed incredible.
More importantly, such an incredible feat actually succeeded!
King Zhou threw a punch, seemingly with infinite power, and actually blocked all more than a dozen Supreme Treasures, leaving Yang Jian completely unharmed and unscathed.
But how was this possible? Was King Zhou's strength already so powerful that he could contend with more than a dozen Supreme Treasures bare-handed?
One must know that among these more than a dozen Supreme Treasures, there was also a Supreme Treasure like the Fantian Seal!
How powerful was the Fantian Seal? Without exaggeration, even a Quasi-Saint would not dare to treat it lightly.
If a Grand Immortal without a Supreme Treasure encountered the Supreme Treasure, Fantian Seal, he would probably be suppressed.
But just now, they actually saw the Prenatal Supreme Treasure, Fantian Seal, being directly sent flying by King Zhou's punch.
That was a Prenatal Supreme Treasure refined from half of Mount Buzhou! It was not only as heavy as a thousand jun but also terrifyingly powerful.
To be sent flying by King Zhou's punch like that, anyone who witnessed this scene would probably react the same way they did.
However, at this moment, they had no time to think further. After King Zhou threw his first punch, he had no intention of letting the matter rest.
Another punch was thrown, unleashing infinite power. Not only did it send the more than a dozen Prenatal Supreme Treasures flying again, but its target was also directly the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals.
Feeling the immense power, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals no longer cared about their shock and quickly unleashed their full strength, trying to block King Zhou.
"Boom!"
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals were completely defenseless and were immediately sent sprawling.
The Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals were all in a sorry state. Those with weaker cultivation even had a trace of blood at the corners of their mouths, clearly having sustained minor injuries.
"This time, consider it a lesson for You. From now on, Yang Jian will have no further connection with your Chan Cult!" King Zhou said in a deep voice.
If possible, he actually wanted to unleash his full power and directly kill all the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals.
Don't think this matter is difficult. This is the territory of Great Shang and the domain of the Human Clan.
As the Human Emperor, the strength he could unleash was second only to a Saint. What difficulty would there be in killing the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals?
But this was simply unrealistic. He could be certain that as long as he dared to make a move, the Saint Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning would also dare to make a move.
If he killed the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning would kill him. This was not an exaggeration, but something that would inevitably happen.
After all, in the original Investiture of the Gods, Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning personally made a move and killed his own Junior.
For a Saint, this was already a loss of face, but Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning showed no mercy when he made his move.
He also knew that as long as the Saint Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning made a move, the Grandmaster of Heaven would certainly not stand idly by.
But in doing so, the Investiture of the Gods would immediately enter its most climactic battle, and a Saint battle would absolutely be unavoidable.
For now, he still needed to Cultivate in peace for a period. After all, he currently did not have the capital to contend with a Saint.
But if he was given more time, it was not impossible to contend with a Saint, even if he didn't reach the Saint level.
Therefore, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals could be killed, but not at this time. Teaching them a lesson was already the limit.
"King Zhou, You act so recklessly. This matter will not end like this. We shall see!" Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice.
After uttering these harsh words, as if fearing King Zhou would attack again, he immediately led the other Chan Cult Golden Immolars to flee in disarray.
They were indeed afraid, for the scene just now had completely overturned their understanding.
King Zhou's strength was actually so formidable, able to contend with more than a dozen Prenatal Supreme Treasures bare-handed, which was completely different from their perception of King Zhou.
What else could they do? They had already unleashed their full strength, summoned their strongest Prenatal Supreme Treasures, yet they were still shattered by King Zhou's single punch?
Even if they continued to fight, they were no match for King Zhou, and they themselves might even perish.
Therefore, when Guang Chengzi and the others left, they were more or less disheveled, and even seemed somewhat flustered.
At this moment, Guang Chengzi and the others were still more or less stunned, still in shock and hadn't fully recovered.
King Zhou's strength exceeded their expectations. Not only did they fail to scheme against King Zhou, but they also failed to kill Yang Jian.
When they recovered, they would realize that the situation was far more serious than they had imagined, and they would probably have to worry again about how to deal with King Zhou.
However, for the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, they had no choice. The Investiture of the Gods was something they had to do no matter what.
It was indeed a problem, however, how they should act in the face of such a King Zhou and such a Great Shang.
Seeing the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals flee in embarrassment, Yang Jian was not surprised, his face full of disdain.
In the battle outside West Qi, he had vaguely seen the true faces of the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, but he was just unwilling to believe it.
It wasn't until Guang Chengzi branded him as a Chan Cult traitor, and even his own Master didn't believe him, that he truly recognized the true face of the Chan Cult.
Everything was not as good as he had imagined. The so-called enlightened immortals were no different from ordinary beings.
Compared to King Zhou, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals were nothing, and their eventual fleeing in disarray was naturally not surprising.
"This is not the place to talk. You will follow You to Chaoge City first!" Zi Shou said.
Taking Yang Jian, he took a step, and in an instant, the two of them arrived in the royal palace of Chaoge City.
Looking at Yang Jian, Zi Shou nodded with satisfaction. For him, teaching the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals a lesson was just an incidental matter; Yang Jian was the key.
This had nothing to do with how excellent Yang Jian's talent was, or whether he was the Son of Luck in the Investiture of the Gods.
It was simply because Yang Jian's identity was special, being a being born from the union of a deity and a Mortal.
To say Yang Jian was Human Clan, yet he also carried the blood of the Jade Emperor Hao Tian's sister, which was the Bloodline of a deity.
To say Yang Jian was a deity, yet he also carried the blood of his father, which was the pure Bloodline of the Human Clan
Perhaps, it was precisely because of the union of a deity and a Human Clan member that Yang Jian's cultivation talent was so exceptional.
But these are also not the key!
The key is that Yang Jian's father was killed by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and Yang Jian's mother is the Jade Emperor Haotian's sister.
It can be said that the conflict between Heaven and Human Clan was perfectly embodied in Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's father united with the Jade Emperor Haotian's sister. Was it really up to the Jade Emperor Haotian to interfere in this matter?
Just because he united with the Jade Emperor Haotian's sister, Yang Jian's father had to be killed by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals?
The Jade Emperor Haotian is the Lord of Heaven, and it is understandable for him to punish his own sister.
But Yang Jian's father was, after all, a Human Clan member. Since when could the Jade Emperor Haotian arbitrarily decide the life and death of Human Clan members?
The current Heaven is not the Heaven of later generations; it is not yet the Lord of the Three Realms.
Just this one matter alone, if he champions justice for Yang Jian, no living being can utter a single 'no'.
"Please, Human Emperor, act and first save my mother from suffering!" Yang Jian knelt on the ground and said.
Since he had already made his choice, there was nothing for him to hide or conceal at this moment, so he directly stated his request.
At this moment, his mother was still suppressed beneath Mount Tao, enduring torture day and night. As a son, how could he remain indifferent?
Previously, he had no means; his own strength was insufficient, and his Master refused to act, so he could only endure.
But now, he believed that as long as the Human Emperor was willing to act, saving his mother would be a mere trifle.
"Your mother's identity is special. It is only right and proper for You to save her!" King Zhou said.
Yang Jian's mother is the Jade Emperor Haotian's sister. If he were to act, it would inevitably invite criticism and the suspicion of interfering in Heavenly affairs.
But if Yang Jian acts, a son saving his own mother is a matter of course and entirely proper.
"I save her myself? But with my current strength, how can I save my mother?" Yang Jian asked, puzzled.
He did not think King Zhou was shirking responsibility. From King Zhou's past actions, it was clear that King Zhou was definitely not such a person.
He was just curious about what kind of assurance King Zhou had to let him save his own mother.
And what kind of method? Could it be that King Zhou could make him advance by leaps and bounds in a short time? So that he could save his mother?
"Saving your mother is not a difficult task to begin with. You, I, will first impart some Cultivation Techniques to You!" King Zhou said.
Yang Jian's mother is, after all, the Jade Emperor Haotian's biological sister. Although she is said to be suppressed under Mount Tao, it is actually not a very severe punishment.
If it were other immortals or deities who committed such a thing, even if they were not suppressed and killed, they would have to endure harsh penalties.
However, Yang Jian's mother was only suppressed under Mount Tao. Apart from not being able to leave Mount Tao, there were actually no other punishments.
Splitting open Mount Tao and rescuing his mother, with Yang Jian's current strength, there is actually a possibility of success.
The only thing lacking, perhaps, is a suitable Magic Treasure that can help Yang Jian break the Seal of Mount Tao.
However, he still wants to give Yang Jian a chance to receive the Human Emperor's inheritance. This will not allow Yang Jian's strength to advance by leaps and bounds in a short time.
But having obtained the Human Emperor's inheritance, Yang Jian's future will have infinite possibilities, and the Golden Immortal Realm will no longer be a luxury.
After all, for him, Yang Jian is a banner for the Human Clan to resist Heaven, so the stronger his strength, the better.
He pointed a finger, and a chance to receive the Human Emperor's inheritance was sent to Yang Jian, causing Yang Jian to immediately fall into a profound state.
After some time, Yang Jian slowly awoke, and an incredibly excited expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Thank You, Human Emperor!" Yang Jian said with great gratitude.
He was originally a Chan Cult Disciple, and Yu Ding Zhenren did not hide anything, imparting to him all the orthodox Taoist methods of Chan Cult.
But precisely because of this, he knew what the Cultivation Technique King Zhou had just imparted to him truly meant.
It was not just a Cultivation Technique; it meant the possibility of breaking through to a higher Realm, a Realm that he would originally need to spend long years, and perhaps still not be able to reach.
Chapter 173: Their Respective Plans!
"You should Cultivate for a period of time. Once You are familiar with the new Cultivation Technique, You can go and save your mother!" King Zhou said.
Yang Jian obtained the inheritance of Heavenly Emperor Ye, and it was a complete inheritance that allowed him to Cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm.
The Human Emperor's inheritance is so miraculous. What Yang Jian obtained was not just Cultivation Techniques and various world-shaking divine arts.
Within the Human Emperor's inheritance, Yang Jian also gained clarity on his future path, seeing the hope of breaking through to the Golden Immortal.
With Yang Jian's talent, coupled with being the Child of Destiny for this Investiture of the Gods, and having the Human Clan Luck bestowed upon him, breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm will definitely not be a big problem.
Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Being able to break through during the Investiture of the Gods is already the limit.
Not everyone can be like him, not only having the Human Clan Luck bestowed upon them but also the assistance of the Human Emperor's Spirit Hall.
Generally speaking, no matter how talented one is, there might still be some hope of cultivating to the Mysterious Immortal Realm in a short period of time.
For example, Children of Destiny like Nezha and Yang Jian, with the Human Clan Luck bestowed upon them, cultivated to the Mysterious Immortal Realm in just a few decades.
But the Golden Immortal is different. It is not a Realm that You can necessarily reach just by having the Human Clan Luck bestowed upon You and possessing extraordinary cultivation talent.
Every Golden Immortal has undergone the baptism of time, and their comprehension of the Great Dao has reached a certain level before they can painstakingly break through.
Therefore, throughout the entire world, the number of Mysterious Immortals is actually not small, but the number of Golden Immortals is not many.
For example, Yang Jian, if he cultivated normally, wanting to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, would basically have no hope without thousands of years of hard work.
But now, because he has received the Human Emperor's inheritance, Yang Jian has seen the hope of breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm. This is naturally a Heaven-Defying Opportunity.
"Human Emperor, rest assured, I will definitely Cultivate diligently and stabilize my Realm as soon as possible!" Yang Jian said.
Although he did not know why King Zhou was so confident, he believed that King Zhou would not deceive him.
From past events, it could be seen that as long as he followed King Zhou's arrangements, he should have no major problems in successfully rescuing his mother.
This couldn't help but make him a little hesitant. From the moment he began cultivating, he constantly wished to rescue his mother.
Now, finally seeing hope, he instead felt a sense of unreality, and even some apprehension.
King Zhou nodded. Yang Jian rescuing his mother was not a difficult matter; the key was the subsequent impact.
With the strength of the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, helping Yang Jian rescue his mother would not be very difficult at all.
It was only because at such a crucial moment of the Investiture of the Gods, Chan Cult did not want to have too much conflict with Heaven, which is why they had been standing by.
It can be affirmed that once Yang Jian rescues his mother, the Jade Emperor Haotian will definitely not let the matter rest.
After all, for the Jade Emperor Haotian, this would be the greatest humiliation of his life, affecting his dignity as the Lord of Heaven.
If he knew that his sister had been rescued by that bastard Yang Jian, the Jade Emperor Haotian would definitely be furious.
At the same time, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, who had returned to Xiqi City, gradually calmed down after their initial panic.
But after calming down, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals quickly became worried and their hearts were filled with anxiety.
"Everyone, let's discuss how we should deal with Great Shang now and advance the process of the Investiture of the Gods!" Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice.
Thinking about it afterward, he couldn't help but feel some regret. If he had killed Yang Jian earlier, there wouldn't have been so many subsequent problems.
Now, not only did they fail to kill Yang Jian, but they also lost face in front of King Zhou. It could be said they suffered a tremendous loss.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but resent Yu Ding Zhenren a little. If it weren't for Yu Ding Zhenren's suggestion, how could such a thing have happened?
More importantly, they still had to figure out how to deal with Great Shang and advance their Chan Cult's Investiture of the Gods plan.
But facing such a King Zhou, what good methods could they have?
They couldn't defeat him, and they couldn't outwit him. After much thought, he still had no clue.
"Relying solely on our Chan Cult, I'm afraid we can no longer deal with Great Shang and King Zhou!" Taiyi Zhenren sighed and said.
This time, although their Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals lost all face, it also made them fully recognize reality.
Although they were arrogant, they had to admit that they were truly nothing in front of King Zhou.
If things continued like this, let alone whether they could advance the great trend of the Investiture of the Gods, even Xiqi's meager foundation might be completely wiped out.
If Xiqi ceased to exist, their Chan Cult would have suffered a great defeat in the Investiture of the Gods. How could it be easy to start over?
Therefore, in his opinion, if their Chan Cult wanted to regain the advantage, they had to make changes.
"Junior Brother Taiyi, do You mean...?" Guang Chengzi's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he asked.
He naturally understood Taiyi Zhenren's implied meaning, and upon careful thought, this matter was not without feasibility.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was far better than being defeated by King Zhou and having their Chan Cult completely fail in the Investiture of the Gods.
"It's not just our Chan Cult that is at odds with King Zhou. Both Heaven and Western Religion have grudges with King Zhou!" Taiyi Zhenren said.
The words were very clear. This meant uniting with Heaven and Western Religion to jointly deal with Great Shang and King Zhou.
The conflict between Heaven and King Zhou had a long history. Since King Zhou personally killed the deities appointed by Heaven, the conflict between the two sides became irreconcilable.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor Haotian, under the watchful eyes of countless living beings, led countless immortals and deities to descend to the mortal Realm to punish King Zhou.
The battle above the Nine Heavens was witnessed by countless living beings. In the end, the Jade Emperor Haotian lost all face and returned to Heaven in disgrace.
It goes without saying that the Jade Emperor Haotian must have hated King Zhou to the extreme. If there was an Opportunity to kill King Zhou, he would definitely not let it go.
As for Western Religion, there's even less to say. Two Saint battles erupted in the Lingshan Holy Land of the West, and these were all somewhat related to King Zhou.
What's more, they all knew very well that Western Religion had been planning for a long time in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but because of King Zhou, countless years of hard work turned into nothing
It was no exaggeration to say that Western Religion's hatred for King Zhou was no less than Jade Emperor Haotian's, and perhaps even more.
If their Chan Cult were to come forward and invite the Heavenly Court and Western Religion to act together to deal with King Zhou, would these two parties agree?
Thinking of this, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals were all incredibly excited, and they already had the answer in their hearts.
"Good! Taiyi Zhenren's words truly hit the mark; this is indeed the best method currently!" Guang Chengzi said with a smile.
Yes! Their Chan Cult alone truly couldn't do anything to King Zhou and Great Shang, but what if the three parties joined forces?
The Chan Cult, Western Religion, and Heavenly Court joining forces would be enough to sweep away everything; who could still be their opponent?
Let alone a mere King Zhou and Great Shang, even the Jie Cult, with its myriad immortals, they would dare to challenge.
However, when Guang Chengzi said these words, he subconsciously overlooked one point.
In the past, their Chan Cult had been arrogant, looking down not only on Western Religion and the Heavenly Court but even on the Jie Cult.
Now, to actually join forces with Western Religion and the Heavenly Court, if this matter were to spread, it would be somewhat humiliating.
But for the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, humiliation was already a secondary matter; after all, their Chan Cult had already lost all Face before King Zhou.
In this Investiture of the Gods, if they could ultimately win, all their lost Face could be regained.
If they couldn't win, let alone Face, after a crushing defeat, it would be hard to say what their Chan Cult would become.
After Guang Chengzi and the others discussed in detail, they each went to Western Religion and the Heavenly Court, preparing to facilitate the joint effort against Great Shang and King Zhou.
However, Guang Chengzi might never have imagined that it was precisely because of this choice that the disintegration of the Chan Cult was accelerated.
No matter what the Chan Cult wanted to do, Zi Shou didn't care; he was still in seclusion in Chaoge, cultivating.
Since the last time he cultivated "The Great Freedom of Transformation" to the minor accomplishment level in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he had been stabilizing his Realm.
After the baptism of the Great Emperor Arena, all the gains from the Six Paths of Reincarnation had been fully assimilated and become his own foundation.
Because of this, he had taken another step forward in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, getting closer and closer to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Of course, it was only close; breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm was still not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
Unless he could once again obtain immeasurable merit, with the help of merit, he could break through in a short time.
However, merit is hard to come by; even Saints find it difficult to obtain merit, let alone the immeasurable merit he needed.
There were indeed ways, but to obtain immeasurable merit, one naturally had to plan carefully and not rush.
At the same time, after a period of cultivation, Yang Jian had familiarized himself with Ye Tiandi's Legacy, and his strength had improved.
It wasn't a Breakthrough in cultivation; Yang Jian was still a Profound Immortal, and there was still a long way to go before he could become a Golden Immortal.
Yang Jian cultivated "Eight Nine Arcane Art", following the path of body sanctification, which was quite compatible with Ye Tiandi's Legacy.
After obtaining Ye Tiandi's Legacy, combining the Chan Cult's Dao methods with Ye Tiandi's peerless Imperial methods, Yang Jian's combat power naturally increased.
It was no exaggeration to say that if he were to fight Yuan Hong again at this time, Yang Jian would most likely win, instead of it being a draw.
After stabilizing his Realm, Yang Jian could no longer bear it and eagerly came before King Zhou.
"Reporting to Human Emperor, I want to go to Mount Tao now to rescue my mother!" Yang Jian said with a determined expression.
His progress in strength filled him with confidence, making him believe that he would definitely be able to rescue his mother this time.
He truly hadn't expected that King Zhou merely imparting cultivation methods could actually allow his strength to advance by leaps and bounds.
"It is indeed time to go! But before you go, you still need a suitable Magic Treasure!" Zi Shou said.
To rescue his mother, Yang Jian lacked not strength, but a powerful Magic Treasure.
Without a sufficiently powerful Magic Treasure, even if he could defeat the immortals guarding Mount Tao, Yang Jian wouldn't be able to break the Seal on Mount Tao.
And in his hand, he happened to have a Magic Treasure that was perfectly suitable for Yang Jian's current use.
Chapter 174: So close! King Zhou almost tricked me again!
"Daoist priest's intention, I already know; jointly dealing with Great Shang and King Zhou is indeed the general trend!" Jade Emperor Haotian said.
After experiencing various events, he not only hated King Zhou to the extreme but also feared him immensely.
He also supported West Qi, and even wanted to join forces with the Chan Cult, but this was only superficial work.
Because the Chan Cult had already taken the first step, he had the intention of watching from the sidelines, which was why he hadn't made a move.
After all, neither King Zhou and Great Shang nor the Chan Cult were good things to him.
He never forgot that the Chan Cult had once humiliated him, taking Yang Jian as a Disciple, and even disregarding him, the Jade Emperor.
Cooperating with the Chan Cult was only due to circumstances, as he felt a huge threat from King Zhou.
Nominally supporting West Qi, seemingly joining forces with the Chan Cult, but not putting in full effort—this was their Heavenly Court's previous approach.
Now, Guang Chengzi personally came to his door, which was equivalent to actively requesting cooperation from the Heavenly Court, immediately making him feel refreshed.
It was the Chan Cult who bowed first, not their Heavenly Court, which was very important to him.
After passing this nominal hurdle, he also understood the seriousness of the matter and began to treat it seriously.
Although he disliked the Chan Cult's arrogance, compared to the Chan Cult, the threat of King Zhou and Great Shang was clearly greater.
After all, this Investiture of the Gods was to invest the three hundred sixty-five righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, who would all join the Heavenly Court in the future and obey his command.
If the Investiture of the Gods failed, the Chan Cult would certainly suffer a crushing defeat, but he would also not fare well, and there would be no hope for the Heavenly Court's prosperity.
Truly joining forces with the Chan Cult, instead of continuing to put in partial effort, had become his only choice now.
"Your Majesty's words are excellent; King Zhou and Great Shang have already grown too powerful to control; if they are not curbed, they will surely become a disaster!" Guang Chengzi said.
Coming to see Jade Emperor Haotian in person was somewhat humiliating, but under the circumstances, it was their Chan Cult's only choice.
He had already understood that compared to the failure of the Investiture of the Gods, Face was truly nothing.
Only if the Heavenly Court could fully assist West Qi and jointly deal with King Zhou and Great Shang could their chances of success greatly increase.
For their Chan Cult, the Heavenly Court's strength was secondary; the key was the righteous name.
The Investiture of the Gods was to invest the three hundred sixty-five righteous gods of the Heavenly Court; this was to perfect the authority of the Heavenly Dao and complete the Heavenly Dao.
With the Heavenly Court participating in the Investiture of the Gods, they would occupy the righteous cause and would implicitly receive the support of the Heavenly Dao's great trend.
Never underestimate the Heavenly Dao's great trend; even Saints cannot go against the Heavenly Dao's great trend, let alone mere King Zhou and Great Shang.
"Daoist priest is right; if King Zhou doesn't die, no matter how many schemes we have, it will be..." Jade Emperor Haotian said in a deep voice.
Whenever King Zhou was mentioned, Jade Emperor Haotian would get angry and feel incredibly aggrieved.
He was the dignified Lord of the Heavenly Court; it was understandable that he couldn't do anything to a Saint's lineage like the Chan Cult, but he couldn't even do anything to a mere King Zhou.
Watching Great Shang gradually grow stronger, and King Zhou repeatedly doing astonishing things, he was anxious!
If this continued, could the Investiture of the Gods still be completed? Could the Heavenly Court still prosper?
Especially after the Heavenly Dao's great trend changed, even Saints couldn't see the future clearly, which made him extremely worried.
If this continued, he was truly afraid that the Human Race would rise under King Zhou's leadership, and his position as Jade Emperor might not even be secure.
Now, the Chan Cult actively sought cooperation, which truly pleased him; perhaps he could take the opportunity to completely resolve the disaster of King Zhou.
Only if King Zhou died, Great Shang perished, and the Investiture of the Gods was successfully completed, could he see the hope of the Heavenly Court's prosperity.
"Your Majesty's words are very true; this time, our Chan Cult is going to unite everyone to deal with King Zhou and Great Shang!" Guang Chengzi said.
He did not conceal the matter of uniting with Western Religion, as this would increase Jade Emperor Haotian's confidence.
After all, everyone knew that King Zhou was a huge threat, but everyone also understood that eliminating King Zhou would certainly not be easy.
If everyone couldn't work together and still thought about preserving their strength, the hope of completely resolving King Zhou and Great Shang would likely not be great.
His words clearly meant that they should go all out, and no one should hold back.
"Daoist priest is very true; if King Zhou doesn't die, no matter how many schemes we have, it will be..."
Jade Emperor Haotian hadn't finished his sentence when his expression suddenly changed, and his Face became incredibly ugly.
Just as Guang Chengzi and the others felt puzzled, they saw Taibai Jinxing rush in with a hurried expression.
Taibai Jinxing wanted to say something, but upon seeing Guang Chengzi and the others, he became somewhat hesitant.
It was clear that something had happened in the Heavenly Court, and judging by Jade Emperor Haotian and Taibai Jinxing's expressions, it was definitely not a small matter.
It was just that, because Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Cult Disciples were present, Taibai Jinxing found it difficult to speak directly about the matter.
From this, it could be seen that whatever had happened in the Heavenly Court was probably not something glorious, and might even be somewhat humiliating.
"I already know the matter; Daoist Guang Chengzi is not an outsider, and he also has some relation to this matter, so you might as well speak directly!" Jade Emperor Haotian said in a deep voice.
The Chan Cult actively coming to his door to deal with King Zhou together was originally a good thing.
But he never expected that at this celebratory moment, something that made him lose Face would actually happen.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yang Jian attacked Mount Tao, has already killed several immortals, and is now breaking the Seal on Mount Tao!" Taibai Jinxing said helplessly.
Upon hearing this matter, while shocked, he also dared not delay and immediately came to see Jade Emperor Haotian.
He naturally knew what Mount Tao was, and he knew even more clearly who Yang Jian was.
It was no exaggeration to say that in the Heavenly Court, both Mount Tao and Yang Jian were taboo existences.
As it concerned Jade Emperor Haotian's Face, with Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Cult Disciples present, he originally didn't want to say much, but since Jade Emperor Haotian had ordered him, he had no choice but to speak
"Hmph! What a Yang Jian, truly audacious and reckless. Your Majesty may not know, but Yang Jian has already betrayed our Chan Cult!" Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice.
As soon as Taibai Jinxing finished speaking, he understood what Jade Emperor Haotian meant and had to quickly explain.
Yang Jian's betrayal of the Chan Cult made them lose Face in front of King Zhou, so they naturally wouldn't proactively mention it.
Precisely because of this, in the eyes of Jade Emperor Haotian, Yang Jian was still a Jie Cult Disciple, and moreover, he was their Chan Cult's most outstanding third-generation Disciple.
Now, Yang Jian had not only killed the immortal guarding Peach Mountain but was also breaking the Seal on Peach Mountain, so Jade Emperor Haotian naturally wanted to ask them, the Chan Cult, what exactly they meant.
On one hand, they sought cooperation with Jade Emperor Haotian, and on the other hand, they let Yang Jian, a Chan Cult Disciple, challenge Jade Emperor Haotian's inverse scale?
Guang Chengzi was both angry and a little helpless about this; just hearing Yang Jian's name already made him furious.
There was no need to think; this must be something King Zhou orchestrated. Was he trying to frame their Chan Cult?
After all, who didn't know that Yang Jian was a Chan Cult Disciple? Whatever Yang Jian did, it was inextricably linked to their Chan Cult.
Thinking this, he felt a bit fortunate, fortunate that he had put aside his pride and proactively sought cooperation with Jade Emperor Haotian.
If he hadn't come to the Heavenly Court this time, what would Jade Emperor Haotian think after learning about this matter?
Would he believe that Yang Jian was instigated by their Chan Cult, and would this debt be counted against their Chan Cult?
Moreover, Jade Emperor Haotian would surely not dare to settle accounts with their Chan Cult, but he would certainly harbor resentment in his heart.
What a brilliant scheme! Truly a brilliant scheme!
Upon careful thought, Guang Chengzi instantly felt cold sweat trickling down, believing this must be King Zhou's scheme.
Wanting to sow discord between their Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court, so that the two sides couldn't join forces?
But King Zhou, with all his calculations, surely didn't expect that he would humble himself and proactively come to see Jade Emperor Haotian.
Now, with him and Jade Emperor Haotian Face to Face, even a great misunderstanding couldn't affect the relationship between the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court.
"Yang Jian has betrayed the Chan Cult? What's going on?" Jade Emperor Haotian asked in shock.
Back then, because of Yang Jian, the Chan Cult had shown him, the Jade Emperor, no respect at all, forcibly taking Yang Jian under their wing.
He had also never expected that Yang Jian would actually be the Son of Fortune in the Investiture of the Gods; no wonder the Chan Cult valued him so much.
Because of Yang Jian's special identity, he was naturally fully nurtured by the Chan Cult, so how could he possibly betray the Chan Cult?
When he first learned that Yang Jian had gone to Peach Mountain, he also thought Guang Chengzi had played a trick on him, but upon careful thought, it wasn't like that at all.
If Guang Chengzi truly wanted to trick him, he wouldn't have come to the Heavenly Court himself, nor would he have mentioned King Zhou's matter.
Regardless, King Zhou's threat was real; everyone understood the logic, so Guang Chengzi had no need to trick him.
Thinking this way, the only possibility was as Guang Chengzi said: Yang Jian had already betrayed the Chan Cult.
"It's King Zhou! It's all because of King Zhou that Yang Jian betrayed the Chan Cult; this time, it must also be King Zhou's conspiracy…"
Guang Chengzi did not hide anything, explaining how Yang Jian colluded with King Zhou and how he betrayed the Chan Cult.
He even shared his conjectures: why King Zhou supported Yang Jian going to Peach Mountain, and how he planned to scheme against both their sides.
After listening, Jade Emperor Haotian also broke out in a cold sweat; if it was truly as Guang Chengzi said, he had almost been schemed against by King Zhou as well.
"It's fortunate that Daoist Priest personally came to the Heavenly Court. No matter how deep King Zhou's schemes are, this time they are destined to fail!" Jade Emperor Haotian said in a deep voice.
It wasn't the Chan Cult scheming behind the scenes, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, but the thought of King Zhou still gave him an immense headache.
One incident after another had already proven King Zhou's terrifying nature; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so wary of King Zhou.
Now, King Zhou had actually begun to actively scheme against the Heavenly Court, which inevitably filled him with vigilance.
"Hmph! Yang Jian has betrayed the Chan Cult, and our Chan Cult naturally cannot stand idly by. I shall go with Your Majesty now!" Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice.
He wished he could kill Yang Jian right now; since he encountered him this time, he naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
Chapter 175: Splitting the Mountain to Save His Mother!
It's actually not quite accurate to say that Guang Chengzi and Jade Emperor Haotian were preparing to join forces against Yang Jian.
After all, in the eyes of Guang Chengzi and Jade Emperor Haotian, a mere Yang Jian could be slain with a flick of their hand.
The important thing was not Yang Jian, but King Zhou behind Yang Jian—that was the existence they could not ignore.
They both knew very well that since Yang Jian dared to go to Peach Mountain, King Zhou must be supporting him from behind.
Moreover, based on their understanding of King Zhou, this matter was by no means as simple as Yang Jian going to Peach Mountain.
How could King Zhou not have anticipated their intervention? He had probably already prepared his methods, just waiting for them to act.
However, they were not entirely without an advantage; King Zhou likely hadn't expected that the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court had already allied.
This was not the nominal alliance of the past, but a genuine, sincere cooperation, casting aside all petty considerations.
They both felt immense pressure from King Zhou; until King Zhou was dead, they would temporarily set aside unnecessary thoughts.
This time, dealing with Yang Jian was an opportunity for them, the beginning of their victory over King Zhou.
Jade Emperor Haotian and Guang Chengzi, a Chan Cult Golden Immortals, headed towards Peach Mountain, and Yang Jian was not idle at this moment either.
After receiving the Human Emperor's Legacy and cultivating for a period, he couldn't wait to rescue his mother.
King Zhou not only agreed to this but also gave him a magical artifact, saying it could help him break the Seal on Peach Mountain.
At that moment, he finally saw hope, not because King Zhou taught him cultivation methods, nor because King Zhou gave him a supreme treasure.
It was King Zhou's attitude; King Zhou was indeed helping him rescue his mother. With King Zhou's help, how could he not succeed?
After all, everything King Zhou had done in the past was much more difficult than rescuing his mother, yet King Zhou had succeeded in all of them.
He arrived at Peach Mountain full of confidence. Facing the immortals guarding the place, he didn't conceal himself but chose to directly attack.
The immortals guarding Peach Mountain were not particularly strong; with his current strength, they were no match for him in a single bout.
After slaying the immortals guarding Peach Mountain, he finally saw his mother again after many years.
Seeing his mother suppressed under Peach Mountain, her limbs bound by divine chains, at that moment, his eyes nearly burst with fury.
As a son, knowing his mother was suffering, yet he hadn't come to rescue her for so many years, truly made him feel utterly ashamed.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late; his mother was still alive, and this time, he was determined to rescue her.
However, upon seeing him, his mother immediately turned pale with fright, crying and urging him to leave Peach Mountain quickly.
He naturally knew what his mother was afraid of: nothing more than Jade Emperor Haotian's wrath, which would endanger his life.
That Lord of the Heavenly Court, his mother's brother, was indeed a powerful being, and moreover, a top-tier expert below the Sages.
If it were in the past, he would never have been a match for Jade Emperor Haotian, but now, he felt no fear at all.
For him, rescuing his mother was just the beginning; next, he would make Jade Emperor Haotian pay a blood debt.
After comforting his mother, he immediately took action, preparing to break the Seal on Peach Mountain and rescue her.
The Seal on Peach Mountain was very powerful; his former Master, True Person Yuding, once told him that even a Golden Immortals would find it difficult to break the Seal.
If nothing unexpected happened, this should be a Seal personally set by Jade Emperor Haotian, definitely not something an ordinary person could break.
If it were in the past, seeing such a powerful Seal, he would probably have been helpless, but now he was well-prepared.
He brought out the magical artifact King Zhou had given him; it was a massive palace, shimmering with holy radiance.
He didn't know what this magical artifact was, but when he held it in his hand, he felt a shock.
Yes! It was shock! It was an indescribable feeling; he seemed to feel a vast power, yet it wasn't pure strength.
It was a profound and mysterious feeling; if there had to be a description, it would be the power of thought.
Vast thoughts made one Can't help it want to listen, and one would become immersed in it, comprehending the ultimate truths between heaven and earth.
Having cultivated the Chan Cult's Daoist methods since childhood, he had never imagined that thought could possess such immense power.
He even felt that this supreme treasure should not be judged by its power, as its efficacy was not manifested in its might.
If this supreme treasure could be kept by one's side and its thoughts carefully contemplated, it would undoubtedly have immeasurable benefits for oneself.
Whether it was improving one's cultivation or even comprehending new divine abilities and secret arts, it would likely be an easy matter.
He was actually a little curious why King Zhou would give him such a supreme treasure, merely to break the Seal on Peach Mountain?
He wasn't doubting whether this supreme treasure could break the Seal on Peach Mountain, but he felt that using this supreme treasure to break the Seal was a bit of an overkill.
However, whatever the reason, for him, it no longer mattered.
As long as he could break the Seal on Peach Mountain and rescue his mother, it was more important than anything else to him.
The supreme treasure in Yang Jian's hand was naturally the Hall of Sages, and Yang Jian's understanding of this magical artifact was not wrong.
If judged solely by its power, the Hall of Sages was actually comparable to an Innate Spiritual Treasure, which was quite good.
Do not think that Innate Spiritual Treasures are common; in fact, their number is exceptionally rare throughout the entire world.
It's just that most Innate Spiritual Treasures are concentrated in the hands of Sage Disciples, so it seems as if Sage Disciples all have one or two Innate Spiritual Treasures.
In fact, even among the Chan Cult and Jie Cult disciples, only a select few possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures.
With the power of the Hall of Sages, breaking the Peach Mountain Seal and allowing Yang Jian to rescue his mother was naturally not a difficult task.
However, the value of the Hall of Sages was not reflected in its power, but in the thoughts contained within the Hall of Sages.
The thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought can be said to be the ideological essence of the Human Race, enough to spark an ideological revolution within the Human Race
Since he obtained the Hall of Sages, with the help of Bi Gan and others, the ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought have all been compiled.
Within the current Great Shang territory, the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought have already spread, and a revolution in thought is already budding.
It was precisely for this reason that the value of the Hall of Sages itself had diminished considerably, which is why he handed the Hall of Sages over to Yang Jian.
What Yang Jian did not know was that by handing the Hall of Sages over to Yang Jian, he actually placed a certain hope in him.
Through the brilliant ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought, he wanted Yang Jian to truly comprehend the true meaning of the Human Clan, and then truly become a Human Clan member.
Yang Jian is not like Nezha; Nezha grew up among the Human Clan, and everything he saw and heard was the most authentic portrayal of the Human Clan.
But Yang Jian experienced the pursuit of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from a young age, and was then taken by Yu Ding Zhenren into the mountains to cultivate.
It can be said that Yang Jian had never lived among the Human Clan, had very limited understanding of the Human Clan, and had never even regarded himself as Human Clan.
Not having been Human, it is naturally very difficult to comprehend the fundamentals of the Human Clan and understand the Human Clan's thoughts.
But he wanted Yang Jian to truly regard himself as Human Clan; the first step was to understand why people are Human, and what the Human Clan's thoughts are.
Only by truly seeing himself as Human Clan can Yang Jian truly protect the Human Clan, and this is also his expectation for Yang Jian's future.
Of course, these are all later matters; Yang Jian was already fully activating the Hall of Sages to break the Seal of Peach Mountain.
Under the radiance of the Hall of Sages, the Seal in Peach Mountain dissipated like ice and snow, bit by bit.
Finally, under Yang Jian's excited gaze, the Seal within Peach Mountain was completely broken.
He did not hesitate, quickly opened the divine chains binding his mother, and was about to leave Peach Mountain with his mother.
"Yang Jian! How dare You, killing my Heavenly Court immortals and gods, breaking my Heavenly Court Seal, and even trying to rescue my Heavenly Court prisoner!"
Just then, a mighty voice sounded, and countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals first appeared in the sky above Peach Mountain.
Surrounded by countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Jade Emperor Hao Tian appeared above the Nine Heavens, his face ashen.
Beside the Jade Emperor Hao Tian, in addition to the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods, several Chan Cult Golden Immortals were also prominently present.
Seeing this scene, Yang Jian's mother's expression immediately changed drastically, while Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged.
Since he decided to rescue his mother, Yang Jian had naturally long anticipated that the Jade Emperor Hao Tian would be enraged by this matter.
The situation was even better than he expected; at least he had rescued his mother before the Jade Emperor Hao Tian arrived at Peach Mountain.
If the Jade Emperor Hao Tian had arrived before he had even broken the Seal of Peach Mountain, that would have been real trouble.
Now that he had rescued his mother, what could the arrival of the Jade Emperor Hao Tian and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals do?
"Yang Jian, You traitor, You will surely die today!" Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice.
Seeing Yang Jian, he couldn't help but recall the incident where he lost all face in front of King Zhou, and his heart was already filled with rage.
Yang Jian was a symbol of shame for the Jade Emperor Hao Tian, and likewise, for their Chan Cult, he was also a symbol of shame.
As long as a traitor like Yang Jian lived for a day, their Chan Cult would become the object of ridicule for countless beings.
Now, killing Yang Jian would not only be the beginning of their Chan Cult's cooperation with the Heavenly Court, but would also completely wash away their Chan Cult's shame.
Facing such a large formation, Yang Jian's mother, Yao Ji, had already turned pale, realizing that something big was wrong.
She wasn't afraid of what would happen to her, but rather worried about her son's safety.
She knew her brother well and knew that no matter how much she pleaded, her brother would not let Yang Jian go.
But facing so many powerful individuals, how could her son alone contend against them?
Just as she was at a loss, Yang Jian spoke first, his face still fearless.
"Jade Emperor, You killed my father; such a deep-seated hatred, today is the perfect time to settle it with You!" Yang Jian said angrily.
For him, the greatest goals in life were to rescue his mother and to seek revenge on the Jade Emperor Hao Tian.
Now that he had rescued his mother, all that remained was how to seek revenge on the Jade Emperor Hao Tian.
"Hahaha! Just You?" The Jade Emperor Hao Tian said disdainfully.
He did not take Yang Jian seriously at all; could a mere Profound Immortal really turn the world upside down?
"Jade Emperor! Yang Jian is right; today we must settle the matter of You killing my Human Clan!"
Chapter 176: The Conflict Between Heaven and Humanity!
Regarding King Zhou's appearance at this time, neither the Jade Emperor Hao Tian nor the several Chan Cult Golden Immortals were surprised in the slightest.
Could a mere Yang Jian dare to come to Peach Mountain? Could he dare to be so arrogant when facing them?
They had long known that behind Yang Jian stood King Zhou.
In fact, before coming to Peach Mountain, they had already prepared to face King Zhou.
"King Zhou, You have always been skilled at schemes, and this time You want to sow discord between the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court, but You are destined to fail!" Guang Chengzi said coldly.
Yang Jian had somehow pledged allegiance to King Zhou and became a pawn in King Zhou's schemes against their Chan Cult.
No wonder they had repeatedly failed; it was all because Yang Jian was providing information, allowing King Zhou to always be one step ahead.
Having their discovery of Yang Jian's identity, King Zhou surprisingly still refused to give up, and even wanted to use Yang Jian to sow discord between their Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court.
It must be said that King Zhou's schemes were indeed brilliant, but King Zhou, with all his calculations, could not have foreseen that he would personally go to see the Jade Emperor Hao Tian.
Now, their Chan Cult was allied with the Heavenly Court to deal with King Zhou, and no misunderstandings would exist.
King Zhou's schemes would naturally be considered a failure, and strictly speaking, this was their first time gaining the upper hand against King Zhou.
It was truly not easy! They had failed so many times, and finally, they had gained the upper hand when facing King Zhou.
This undoubtedly boosted their confidence, and it also made them realize that King Zhou was not truly unconquerable.
"This matter has nothing to do with You; You actually want to join in the fun, are You really not afraid of getting burned?" King Zhou said disdainfully.
He had indeed not expected Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Cult Golden Immortals to appear at this time, but he also didn't pay too much attention to it.
Guang Chengzi said that he used Yang Jian to sow discord between the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court? This was probably Guang Chengzi overthinking it.
He had indeed put a lot of effort into Yang Jian, but not because he wanted to scheme against the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court.
In fact, neither Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Cult Golden Immortals, nor the Jade Emperor Hao Tian and the Heavenly Court, had ever been taken seriously by him.
He was wary of the Chan Cult only because he was wary of Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning, the Saint. He was wary of the Heavenly Court only because he was wary of the general trend of the Heavenly Dao.
The Jade Emperor Hao Tian was at least a Quasi-Saint, so he was barely acceptable, but what were Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Cult Golden Immortals?
"King Zhou, no matter what your schemes are, Yang Jian will surely die today!" The Jade Emperor Hao Tian said in a deep voice.
King Zhou had the Human Clan Luck protecting him, and he knew that for now, he could not do anything to King Zhou.
But in front of King Zhou, killing this evil spawn, Yang Jian, could more or less allow him to vent some anger.
The time ahead was long; King Zhou could not remain powerful forever, and there would always be a time when his fortune would run out.
He was also cooperating sincerely with the Chan Cult, and even if things became impossible, the Saint Celestial Worthy of the Primordial Beginning would intervene.
"You have misunderstood one thing; today, it is not You who are coming to settle accounts with me, but I who am coming to settle accounts with You!
Jade Emperor, You killed my Human Clan without cause; this matter must be explained to my Human Clan, and an account must be given to You!" King Zhou said in a deep voice.
Both Guang Chengzi and the other Chan Cult Golden Immortals, and the Jade Emperor Hao Tian, all looked full of confidence.
It was clearly he who was demanding an explanation, he who was upholding justice for Yang Jian, and he who was causing trouble for the Heavenly Court.
How did it seem as if the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court were the ones making the accusations and taking the initiative this time?
Therefore, the Jade Emperor Hao Tian and the Chan Cult simply did not understand the situation, and did not understand what this incident truly meant.
This was clearly a conflict between Heaven and Humanity, a dispute between the Human Clan and the Heavenly Court, or rather, a conflict between the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Court is the place where the authority of the Heavenly Dao converges, and it is right for immortals and gods to exercise the authority of the Heavenly Dao to maintain the stability of heaven and earth.
However, does exercising the authority of the Heavenly Dao and maintaining the stability of heaven and earth mean that the Heavenly Court has the right to arbitrarily dispose of the Human Clan?
If the Heavenly Court has this right, then it means that the Human Clan is also within the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction, and everything about the Human Clan must obey the Heavenly Court's arrangements.
The deeper meaning is that the Human Dao is subordinate to the Heavenly Dao, and the meaning this represents is completely different.
For him, this was no longer just Yang Jian's personal blood feud, but also a major matter concerning the entire Human Clan.
Therefore, he insisted on upholding justice for Yang Jian and demanding an explanation from the Jade Emperor Hao Tian and the Heavenly Court.
This was the attitude their Human Clan should have, and it was his responsibility as the Human Emperor.
"Hmph! King Zhou, do not speak nonsense here; Yang Jian, that evil spawn's father, colluded with immortals and gods, which itself is a capital crime!
Yang Jian, that evil spawn, is the same; he should not live in this world, and he will surely die today!" The Jade Emperor Hao Tian said angrily.
Without a doubt, for him, this matter was his reverse scale, and a symbol of his shame.
Because of this matter, he became the laughingstock of countless beings, and it can be said that he lost all face.
Now, King Zhou not only brought up the old matter again, but even wanted to use it to make trouble for him; what was he trying to do?
This was clearly rubbing salt in his wounds, making him the biggest joke in the world again, and making him lose all face.
His rage had already begun to burn fiercely, his eyes seemingly able to spew flames; he was furious to the extreme.
With a wave of his hand, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals attacked, suppressing Yang Jian, while he stared intently at King Zhou.
The matter could no longer be settled amicably, and he had never intended to settle it amicably; today, he would determine who was superior to King Zhou
