Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 98 Have you ever risked your life for someone else in your life?
boom! boom! boom!
Yang Jian swung his axe again and again, only to be thrown away by the violent force of the Heavenly Laws of Peach Mountain, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his tiger's mouth splitting open.

But soon, disregarding his injuries, he flew back, roaring, and continued to swing his axe with all his might.

His divine body began to glow and heal his wounds.

"Kid, it's no use. Just give up, I..."

The sound of the axe was somewhat defeated; it seemed to be saying that it had lost all confidence.

As the divine axe that accompanied Yu the Great in his flood control efforts and became famous far and wide, the most satisfying thing for it was to perform its function of splitting mountains one by one.

That feeling is like... a regular person going to a massage parlor, feeling completely refreshed, you know!

Later, after Yu the Great successfully controlled the floods, he left it in Longmen Mountain for countless years. After holding back for so long, it had long wanted to split the mountain open like a watermelon again.

However, alas, having conquered countless mountains, it finds even the most ordinary ones uninteresting.

Upon hearing that a mountain was formed from a fairy peach, it finally became interested and broke its rule to leave the mountain to have some fun.

Who would have thought that this time, instead of splitting Peach Mountain, the legendary axe that once shone so brightly was ruined by this very mountain...

It was deeply hurt; once this news spread, its divine axe would fall from its pedestal.

But faced with Peach Mountain, whose very structure is governed by heavenly laws, it truly has no other options.

"I refuse to believe it can't be split open, I'm sure I can..."

With red eyes, Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want the reputation of the Mountain-Splitting Axe to be ruined, then you'd better pull yourself together and use your strength!"

This is the belief he holds dear.

He knew that once his unwavering belief wavered, there would truly be no hope of rescuing his mother from the mountains.

At that moment, he was like a wild beast with its leg broken by a trap, letting out a mournful roar, but still not giving up hope of escaping. The scene was deeply moving.

"Boy, you..."

The Mountain-Splitting Axe was slightly taken aback, truly astonished to see Yang Jian risking his life to save his mother.

As a weapon forged from divine iron, it was originally a cold, emotionless tool for cutting through mountains.

But at this moment, he was touched by the scene of Yang Jian risking his life to save his mother and felt a subtle emotion.

"Have you ever risked your life for someone else in your life...?" It seemed to hear such a voice.

The Mountain-Splitting Axe roared, "No, but kid, you've hurt my pride, you know that? Chop harder!!!"

Yang Jian's spirits lifted, his eyes brightened, and he nodded, impressed by the words of the man with the mountain-splitting axe.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
With each swing of the axe, it cleaved the Peach Mountain, unleashing a violent shockwave that surged in all directions, causing the mountain to shake and the heavens to tremble.

"Heavenly General, quickly capture him!"

Tianyao Divine General stared at Yang Jian and glanced warily at the Mountain-Splitting Axe before speaking.

No wonder General Tianyi was so badly injured; even he felt a deep sense of danger from that axe.

"No, I think we should let him keep chopping!"

Another divine general smiled easily and said, "That Peach Mountain has the power of heavenly laws, so he absolutely cannot break it. It will only exhaust him and save us the trouble of taking action."

The other gods all laughed.

Heavenly Court, Tongming Hall.

A simple, golden mirror hangs in mid-air, reflecting the scenery of Peach Mountain.

"Hiss, who is this kid? He looks quite young, how can he have such divine power?"

The assembled immortals watched in astonishment as the young figure, with his axe-wielding movements, cleaved Peach Mountain with unparalleled power, causing the mountain to shake and the heavens and earth to tremble.

"Hmm, this young man is indeed born with divine martial prowess, and his aura... tsk tsk, Your Majesty..."

After examining the situation for a while, Taibai was about to turn around and say something to Haotian when he turned back and paused slightly.

The Heavenly Emperor stared at the precious mirror, his expression slightly somber and not very pleasant.

Judging from His Majesty's expression, he is in a rather unpleasant mood at the moment!
But it's not surprising. Someone challenging the Emperor's authority is challenging His Majesty's dignity... Taibai subtly analyzed the situation.

Hmm, am I seeing things? His Majesty's current demeanor... is actually a tiny bit... similar to that kid's?

This kid is desperately trying to rescue Yunhua again, could it be...?

Taibai's eyes lit up, and just then he heard Yunhua in the mirror shout, "Erlang, hurry up and go, don't worry about me."

Just as I deduced, he is indeed His Majesty's nephew... Taibai nodded in satisfaction.

Even the axe couldn't do it... Haotian pressed his hands on either side of the dragon throne, his mood was indeed not good.

After the rise of humanity, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man were established!

He felt that perhaps only a sacred artifact of human merit like the Mountain-Splitting Axe could break through the heavenly laws of Peach Mountain.

But now it seems...

In that case, it seems his nephew is in danger. Hopefully, he can see the situation clearly and leave if possible, and then think of other solutions later!
"Erlang... go away!" Yunhua cried uncontrollably at the foot of Taoshan Mountain.

As a deity, she believed she had no guilty conscience, and the tribulations of love were beyond her control. However, as a mother, she felt guilty.

Unlike other mothers who could accompany their children to grow up safely and happily, she brought disaster upon them.

Therefore, she was prepared for the child to resent her. As a goddess with a long lifespan, she had seen far too many children hold grudges against their parents for life over trivial matters.

But then her child returned, desperately trying to save her...

"Really...it can't be split open...?"

Yang Jian was once again thrown back, and slowly propped himself up with his mountain-splitting axe, muttering to himself.

He didn't know how many times he had swung his axe, but Peach Mountain remained majestic and hardly changed. On the contrary, his magical power was almost completely depleted.

“Kid…” the Mountain-Splitter began, but now he didn’t know what to say.

Yang Jian's persistence moved him, but unfortunately, the Heavenly Laws are the Heavenly Laws, and this power cannot break them.

“Heavenly law, Heaven’s will…” Yang Jian said absentmindedly.

He knew how complicated and difficult it was to save his mother. The key was not only to split open Peach Mountain, but also to face the entire Heavenly Court.

Although his master, Jade Cauldron Immortal, was a powerful Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, the relationship between the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court was always delicate, so from the beginning he never thought of asking Jade Cauldron for help.

Yu Ding was his mentor who had been incredibly kind to him, and also one of his closest and most important family members. How could he bear to drag him into this mess?
As for the hatred or the matter of saving his mother, he could bear it all by himself, and he also hoped that Yang Chan would live happily.

Whether he succeeds or fails in rescuing his mother, he had already disregarded life and death before coming to Taoshan.

"So he was Yunhua's unfilial son..."

The gods' expressions shifted, and they suddenly realized why the gods were fighting so hard.

"Do it!"

The next moment, Tianyao Divine General no longer hesitated. With a flick of his right hand, a celestial sword appeared, and he raised his hand to unleash a sharp crimson slash.

Yang Jian suddenly swung his axe, the axe light flashed, and with a crack, shattered the crimson sword light, then slashed at the Heavenly Radiance General behind him.

"What?" Tianyao's face turned pale, and it was too late to escape.

At the critical moment, a glowing halberd appeared out of nowhere, clashing with the axe's light and blocking the axe's strike.

The Heavenly General, exuding an aura of celestial beings, stepped forward like a supreme war god, wielding a halberd. He looked down at Yang Jian and calmly said, "Surrender and do not put up any futile resistance."

Yang Jian suddenly turned his head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes.

This divine general was different from the other ten. He was like a divine mountain, and the aura emanating from him alone seemed to make the space somewhat stagnant.

He felt an immense, mountain-like pressure that made his body tremble.

“It’s you…” Yang Jian’s pupils contracted.

He remembered that the god who had led the people to their house and fought against his mother was the one standing before him.

At that time, he was like an ant, looked down upon by this high and mighty god, watching his mother fight against him, and finally being knocked to the ground, spitting blood.

But at that time, there was nothing he could do...

Yang Jian took a breath and clenched his fists tightly. The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) gathered like a whale swallowing the sea and entered his body.

He slowly tightened his grip on the axe in his hand, and under the pressure of the Heavenly General's gaze, he gradually stood up.

This time, his eyes revealed undisguised anger.

"This kind of method..."

From a distance, Yuan Hong saw Yang Jian breathing and looked astonished and bewildered: "No way?"

Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?

Did he see it wrong?

Yuan Hong immediately shook his head. He himself was also cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, so it was impossible for him to be wrong.

So where did this kid learn the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts? Gradually, a smile appeared in Yuan Hong's eyes.

Master had said that the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts was the number one protective divine art of the Chan Sect, so it wasn't just Master who knew it. Therefore, he wasn't sure which Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect this young man was a disciple of.

However, their shared cultivation of the same profound skill, and their lineage being passed down through generations, made him feel much closer to Yang Jian.

"Hmph!" Seeing Yang Jian's actions, the Heavenly General snorted and flicked his hand holding the battle halberd.

A golden storm swept towards Yang Jian, engulfing everything in its path.

Just as Yang Jian was on high alert, ready to fight to the death, a white light flew in and a glowing iron rod in his hand slammed down hard.

Boom!
The golden storm was shattered by the glowing iron rod, and a gray-robed Taoist appeared in front of Yang Jian.

"You are..." Yang Jian was surprised.

Yuan Hong grinned: "The Heavenly Emperor's nephew... This is interesting, I, Mei Yuanzi, cannot miss it."

It's quite necessary to get a new identity when you're traveling.

No courtyard... This is Yuan Hong from Meishan!
"Mei Yuanzi?!"

The faces of the group of divine generals changed drastically.

This person blocked the Heavenly General, and only a Celestial Immortal can fight against another Celestial Immortal, so what does this mean?
"Thank you, Immortal Master..." Yang Jian took a deep breath and continued to recover his magical power.

A divine general said in a deep voice, "Immortal, we are here to capture a wanted criminal from the Heavenly Court. Do you wish to interfere?"

“Amitabha Buddha, I will not interfere, but have come here specifically to enlighten him.”

Yuan Hong patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and said in a meaningful low voice, "Kid, not bad, but don't try to split Peach Mountain, you won't be able to."

You want to save your mother, but you can't solve the problem of Taoshan. Then you need to think about it from a different angle, don't be so stubborn..."

"Try a different approach... that won't solve the problem of Peach Mountain... Peach Mountain was created by the Heavenly Emperor... The Heavenly Emperor?!"

Yang Jian's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up at the sky, gritting his teeth and revealing hatred.

Yuan Hong: ∑(O_O；)?

Wait, what did I just say?
At that moment, divine light shone in the sky, revealing a projection of someone dressed in imperial robes.

"Emperor?!"

Yuan Hong let out a strange cry, feeling an urge to turn around and run away.

“Brother, Yunhua’s love tribulation has led to the violation of heavenly laws. Now that I know I was wrong, I will bear all the consequences of my sins.”

Yunhua, standing at the foot of Peach Mountain, sobbed, "But Erlang is innocent. He shouldn't have been involved. I only beg my brother to spare him..."

The illusory figure of the Heavenly Emperor spoke: "Since you have sincerely admitted your mistake, then..."

“No, Uncle…” Yang Jian said hurriedly.

"Hmm?" The Heavenly Emperor glanced over.

Yang Jian hurriedly knelt down and changed his words, saying, "Heavenly Emperor, as the saying goes, children repay the debts of their parents. I am willing to bear all the sins of my mother. I only ask that the Heavenly Emperor release my mother."

His voice trembled, filled with pleading.

He was like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

Even though the hope was slim, when it came, I still seized it no matter what.

"Hmph, a bastard born from the illicit union of a human and a god, under the heavenly laws, what room do you have to bargain?" a divine general said coldly.

A murderous glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, but he suppressed it and continued to pray to the Heavenly Emperor.

The illusory figure of Haotian glanced meaningfully at the divine general, then remained silent before saying, "Arrest him, throw him into the Heavenly Prison, and pronounce judgment on a chosen day."

With so many people and eyes watching from here, and a large group of Heavenly Court officials keeping an eye on him with his Haotian Mirror, it was difficult for him to operate.

However, the Heavenly Court is his territory, so things will be easier once he enters the Heavenly Prison.

After speaking, Haotian's illusory figure turned and disappeared.

"According to the order!"

All the divine generals looked at Yuan Hong and Yang Jian.

"Young friend, by helping you out, I've gotten myself involved in the process as well."

Yuan Hong shook his head. Beside him, the light of hope in Yang Jian's eyes, who was kneeling on the ground, gradually died out.

Instead, endless rage burned...

"what!"

Yang Jian let out a long roar, swung his mountain-splitting axe, and charged towards the ten heavenly generals.

"Don't be presumptuous!"

The Heavenly General roared, his halberd glowing as he slashed down.

Yuan Hong raised his staff to meet the attack. With a clang, the divine weapons clashed, shaking the heavens and earth, unleashing a blazing light and a deafening roar like a landslide and a tsunami, with ripples spreading in all directions.

"who are you?"

The Heavenly General trembled, his gaze fixed intensely on Yuan Hong.

A tremendous force emanated from the halberd, causing his arm to ache and even feel a little pain.

This is the power of the physical body alone.

This shocked him somewhat...

"That 'Boundless One'... True Man, cough, if you want to know, beat me first."

Yuan Hong smiled and glanced at Yang Jian's side: "And if you want to capture that little brother, you'll have to beat me first."

Just then, a long howl came from the side, and the two men's expressions changed drastically.

Turning his head, he saw Yang Jian wielding his mountain-splitting axe and unleashing a brilliant axe light. A divine general blocked it with his divine sword, but with a crack, the sword shattered.

The axe light struck the divine general, passing right through his body.

"puff……"

The god's expression froze, he looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes dimmed, and he fell to the ground like a meteorite.

Biyou Palace.

The Three Pure Ones are currently in the central government explaining matters related to the Investiture of the Gods.

Because the Twelve Golden Immortals were already entangled in their own calamities, they listened with utmost concentration.

The only one in the People's Education Press who was also very serious was Master Xuandu.

On the Jie Sect's side, some people took it seriously, while others didn't care.

The disciples who were mainly outside, such as Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming, were very serious, while the inner disciples of Jin'ao Island looked calm.

Staying in Biyou Palace, with the support of a sage, what can calamities do to them?
These guys haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet... Yu Ding glanced leisurely at the Jie Sect.

At this moment, Yuanshi suddenly glanced at Yu Ding and said, "Yu Ding, there's an urgent matter at home. You should leave now!"

"Master, there's nothing wrong at home!"

Yu Ding pondered for a moment and said, "With the great calamity imminent, I also want to hear my teachers explain some details to avoid making any mistakes!"

As for the house, aren't there Yang Chan, Qingyun, and a few others to look after it?

These kids have some skill; they can protect themselves.

Besides, there aren't many people in this world who would dare to run wild at the Golden Immortal's Dojo, are there?

This disciple doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem either... Yuanshi glanced meaningfully at Yu Ding: "You'll understand when you leave. Taiyi, Huanglong, you two go with him!"

"Yes, Master!" Yu Ding's expression changed.

At first, he didn't quite understand what it meant, but now he realized that if his master's supernatural powers said something was wrong, then something must have gone wrong somewhere.

Moreover, the fact that Huanglong and Taiyi were brought along indicates that this matter is quite significant...

But Master didn't say what exactly happened.

Yu Ding sighed inwardly, feeling a bit of a headache. It was truly a case of being in the palace when trouble came out of nowhere.

"Accept the decree!"

Huanglong and Taiyi exchanged a glance and bowed.

P.S.: This is a bit long, which is why the update is late. Sorry. This is the amount of two chapters. I felt that if it was written too short and then split into smaller parts, it would be like squeezing toothpaste and wouldn't be enough for everyone to enjoy.

Back to writing, and thank you all for your monthly votes.
