We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

at the same time.

On Yang Jian's side.

After failing to save his mother, Yang Jian, accompanied by his dog Xiaotian, sped all the way to Jinxia Cave on Yuquan Mountain.

During the journey, his internal magical power became chaotic, and he nearly fell from the clouds several times.

It's a pity.

He used a great deal of magic power in Peach Mountain, but he was still powerless.

The celestial hound clenched its teeth tightly around his robes, letting out worried growls.

Having finally arrived at Jinxia Cave, Yang Jian, disregarding his exhaustion, stumbled into the cave and knelt before Yu Ding Zhenren's prayer mat: "Master! Please save my mother!"

Master Yu Ding slowly opened his eyes, looked at the disheveled Yang Jian, and sighed, "It seems you have found Peach Mountain and Yao Ji."

He had long anticipated that Yang Jian would seek out Yao Ji after leaving the mountain, but he did not stop him, waiting for Yang Jian to personally experience the difficulties involved.

"Yes, I found my mother, but Peach Mountain is indestructible and as heavy as Mount Tai. I can't rescue her, and I'm powerless to do anything about it," Yang Jian said in despair.

“Mount Peach is formed by the laws of heaven and cannot be broken by brute force. Although you have mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and have a weapon like the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword, you still cannot split Mount Peach in two.”

Master Yuding stood up and walked to Yang Jian's side: "I told you long ago that if you want to rescue your mother, you need to use love to melt Peach Mountain, you need to use great love. It seems you didn't listen. Yang Jian, you have love, but it's only small love. You need to have a great love for the world, and then that mountain will open for you."

"But how can I acquire such great love?" Yang Jian asked.

"Perhaps a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand years, when the time comes, as long as you have the will, you will possess it," replied Jade Cauldron Immortal.

"That won't do! As a son, how can Yang Jian let his mother suffer for thousands of years under Peach Mountain! Master, is there no other way?" Yang Jian said anxiously when he heard that it would take so long.

Seeing Yang Jian's appearance, Master Yu Ding's expression was extremely complicated, and he sighed again: "It's not that there isn't one."

"Please enlighten me, Master." Yang Jian's eyes lit up immediately.

“Although Peach Mountain is formed from the laws of Heaven, there are also magical treasures in this world that can sever the laws of Heaven—the Mountain-Splitting Axe. This axe is an ancient divine weapon, hidden beneath the broken walls of Buzhou Mountain. However, Yang Jian, if you want to use such a divine weapon, you also need to have love in your heart. If you take the axe in the wrong way, the consequences may be unimaginable,” Jade Cauldron Master advised.

Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Yang Jian's eyes, and he abruptly raised his head, saying, "No matter what, this disciple is willing to give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Jade Cauldron Immortal nodded and told Yang Jian everything about the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

……

……

On Qiao Liang's side.

After Yang Jian walked away, his live stream perspective naturally ended, but the audience in the live stream room was still very lively.

Qiao Liang, on the other hand, excitedly sent a message to Liu Ruyan.

[Qiao Liang: Liu Ruyan! Empress Ruyan, guess what I encountered? Yang Jian is rescuing his mother!]

Liu Ruyan replied quickly as well.

[Liu Ruyan: Has Yang Jian found Peach Mountain?]

[Qiao Liang: Yes, I really didn't expect that hiding somewhere I randomly would turn into Taoshan. It looked pretty ordinary.]

[Liu Ruyan: Did Yang Jian rescue his mother?]

[Qiao Liang: Uh... no, rescuing them seems quite difficult, but I've memorized this location.]

[Liu Ruyan: What are you talking about if you didn't rescue them? I have something to do, I'm logging off!]

Qiao Liang watched Liu Ruyan leave directly, his lips twitching slightly.

So what if we didn't rescue them? Doesn't the location matter? Once we know the location, we can rescue them later, right?
Qiao Liang was about to make a few comments when he suddenly sensed a multitude of terrifying auras and looked up sharply—he saw the Five Golden Crows leading a vast army of heavenly soldiers and generals to Peach Mountain.

"It seems that the Heavenly Court is also furious that they discovered Yang Jian was trying to save Yao Ji."

Qiao Liang's eyes flashed, and in a few flashes, he disappeared from the spot.

……

……

Liu Ruyan's side.

She really didn't have time to pay attention to what Qiao Liang was saying.

If Yao Ji had been rescued, she could share the good news with Yang Chan, but since she hadn't been rescued yet, what could she possibly say?

Right now, they're desperately chasing after Nezha, and talking about it would only distract them.

"No, Nezha is running too fast." Yang Chan held the Lotus Lantern and continued to chase after Nezha. The golden light of the Lotus Lantern in her palm shone again, but it was a little weaker than before.

Her magical power is weak. Chasing Nezha and binding him had consumed too much of her magical power, leaving her somewhat powerless now.

Liu Ruyan and Han Paopao made a quick decision. They exchanged a glance and, without the slightest hesitation, transferred their magical power to Yang Chan.

Yang Chan was startled. She looked at the two with gratitude, took a deep breath, and then used the Lotus Lantern to chase after them again.

Meanwhile, after Yang Chan and the others were delayed for a while, Nezha successfully caught up with Li Jing again.

After all, although Li Jing possessed some magical power, it was still worlds apart from Nezha's.

"Li Jing, just accept your death. No one can save you now." Nezha kicked Li Jing, who was running away, away again, and pointed his Fire-Tipped Spear at Li Jing.

Li Jing was kicked by Nezha and coughed up blood. He fell to the ground and staggered backward. Looking at Nezha, his eyes were full of terror. He said, "Nezha, I can die, but I can never die at your hands."

"Pah! Who do you think you are, you hypocrite?" Nezha sneered, showing no mercy.

However, just as he was about to take action, Li Jing also reached a dead end.

Yang Chan, Han Paopao, and Liu Ruyan finally arrived again.

"Nezha, stop! Don't make another mistake!" Yang Chan shouted at Nezha in alarm at the sight.

"Sister Yang Chan, Nezha is not wrong! After Nezha kills Li Jing, I will explain everything to you." Upon hearing this, Nezha shouted to Yang Chan. After saying that, he did not hesitate for a moment, took the Fire-Tipped Spear, and fiercely stabbed it down at Li Jing.

"No!" Yang Chan could only scream in terror at the sight.

The two were so close that even if she used the Lotus Lantern, she couldn't stop it from happening.

Liu Ruyan and Han Paopao were also completely astonished, and their live stream chat room was in an uproar.

Just then, a loud deer cry suddenly came from the horizon, and a golden light broke through the clouds, revealing a Taoist priest riding a deer on a cloud.

With a flick of his whisk, a golden light struck Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear, causing it to veer off course and narrowly miss Li Jing, giving him a fright.

"Nezha, stop now!" The Taoist's voice carried a hint of authority. "Do you know that the sin of patricide will destroy your entire foundation of cultivation?"

Nezha's arm went numb from the shock, but he still refused to give up: "Who are you! How dare you interfere in my business! He destroyed my temple and cut off my lifeline, this is an irreconcilable feud!"

“Foolish! Your fate has changed, you are no longer the Nezha you once were. How can you take your dream seriously?” The Taoist shook his head and sighed.

"I can feel it, that's my original destiny! You still haven't answered me, who are you!" Nezha shouted.

"I am the Daoist Ran Deng of the Chan Sect, and I can be considered your grand-uncle. I have been entrusted by your master, the True Man Taiyi, to stop you from committing patricide," the Daoist Ran Deng replied, flicking his whisk.

"Master? That's impossible!" Nezha was startled, and upon hearing about the origins of the Taoist Ran Deng, he became even more nervous.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Taoist Ran Deng, Li Jing grasped at a straw and collapsed to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Taoist Master, save me! Taoist Master, save me!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha's eyes flashed with fierce light again, and he shouted loudly, "Help? No one can save you today!"

Having said that, the Fire-Tipped Spear once again thrust towards Li Jing!
"Nezha!" Yang Chan was shocked to see this. She didn't expect that with Daoist Ran Deng present, he would still dare to attack Li Jing.

When the Taoist Ran Deng saw this, he frowned. With another flick of his whisk, Li Jing disappeared from the spot, causing Nezha to miss his target.

Nezha was startled, and when he came to his senses, he found that Li Jing had already arrived behind the Taoist Ran Deng.

The chat room was already buzzing with excitement.

[Holy crap! That's amazing! They rescued Li Jing from Nezha so easily, before Nezha even realized what was happening!]

[Nezha's grandmaster uncle? Holy crap, that's even higher in seniority than Taiyi Zhenren! I'm starting to understand the true meaning of Yang Chan's statement that it's not uncommon for one or two highly skilled individuals to suddenly appear in this world.]

[Nezha has such a strong personality! He even dared to kill Li Jing when a powerful figure was present, but I love it! This is exactly how I envision Nezha!]

[Oh no, it looks like Nezha won't be able to kill Li Jing this time.]

It's normal that they couldn't kill him; Li Jing is still alive and well in the main storyline. It's just that if the Taoist Ran Deng had arrived any later, Li Jing would have truly met his end!

Sigh, I hope Nezha kills Li Jing, but it's fine if he doesn't. Let it be.

At the scene, Nezha, though alarmed, still showed no intention of letting Li Jing go. Flames surged on his Fire-Tipped Spear, the Wind-Fire Wheels beneath his feet spun rapidly, and the air around him became scorching hot: "So what if you're my grand-uncle! Li Jing, I will kill you today! Whoever stands in my way, I will kill!"

"Sigh." Seeing this scene, Daoist Ran Deng also sighed. He did not subdue Nezha directly, but only used his magic to create a shield to protect himself and Li Jing.

After blocking Nezha outside, Daoist Ran Deng looked intently at Li Jing and asked, "Li Jing, do you know where this calamity comes from?"

This calamity is not merely Nezha's resentment, but also the "karma" of Li Jing, as a father, failing to guide and protect his children. Simply suppressing it will only make the karmic fire burn brighter and brighter, eventually backfiring on him.

"Li Jing already knows, please, Master, save my life." Li Jing looked at Nezha who was still attacking outside, tears streaming down his face as he respectfully bowed to the Taoist Ran Deng.

"good."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ran Deng nodded, and then, with his palm facing upward, a gleaming, exquisitely crafted Seven Treasures Pagoda appeared in his hand: "Master Taiyi knew long ago that Nezha was unruly and would be difficult to let go of, so he asked me to go out and hope to solve the problem once and for all. And I happen to have a treasure specifically designed to subdue Nezha."

"This pagoda is called the Exquisite and Transparent Relic Golden Pagoda, or simply the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. This pagoda is not for killing, but for refining the mind. The fire inside the pagoda is not samadhi, but the 'karmic fire' formed by the cause and effect between you and your father. It can trap Nezha, and it can also reflect the fear, shame, and weakness in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was startled and hurriedly said, "This, this, Daoist Master, Li Jing must not accept such a treasure!"

"Take it! Do you want to spend your whole life hiding from Nezha's pursuit?" the Taoist Ran Deng shouted sternly. At the same time, he warned, "If you use this tower only to show off your power and suppress others, then the karmic fire will never be extinguished, and you will eventually become the tower's slave, not its master. Only when you face your heart and truly understand the heavy responsibility of being a 'father' can this tower transform from a 'shackle' into a 'ladder' to help you and your father transcend this calamity."

"Yes, thank you, Daoist Master." Upon hearing this, Li Jing no longer declined and replied with a solemn expression.

[Holy crap! So Li Jing's pagoda was given to him by the Taoist Ran Deng!]

Who exactly is this Daoist Ran Deng?!

I always felt that *The Myth* was playing a grand game, and Dong Qing was playing a grand game too! As the world-building expands, the stories of these elders from the master generation will surely be fully presented to us!

[Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King; Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, now I understand. So that's where his title comes from—he died after leaving the pagoda?]

[Huh? You're only just realizing that now? Your reaction time is a bit slow.]

"Li Jing! No matter what you've gained, you're going to die today. And you old Taoist, don't meddle in other people's business!" Nezha shouted as he watched the scene unfold.

"Nezha!" Li Jing exclaimed, his face showing distress upon hearing this.

Nezha ignored him completely and continued to attack. Meanwhile, the Taoist Ran Deng transmitted the incantation for the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to him through telepathy.

Just as the Taoist Ran Deng finished imparting all the incantations, the shield that he had erected with his magic power was broken by Nezha.

Seeing Nezha charging towards him recklessly, Li Jing was startled. At this critical moment, he followed the instructions and activated the pagoda. The pagoda instantly expanded, and the relic shone brightly, sucking Nezha into it.

"What is this?" Nezha was trapped inside the Seven Treasures Pagoda. Startled, he struggled desperately and shouted, "Li Jing, let me out! Let me out!"

“Nezha, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. As long as you agree to reconcile with me, I will release you immediately,” Li Jing shouted to Nezha.

"Impossible! That Taoist priest, my grandmaster uncle, let me out!" Nezha refused outright and shouted at the Taoist priest Ran Deng.

His desperate struggle caused the entire tower to shake.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ran Deng closed his eyes and shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Jing had no choice but to close his eyes and recite the incantation again. Soon, Nezha's painful roar and the sound of flames burning came from inside.

The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar. They finally knew how Nezha and Li Jing reconciled and how they became officials together in heaven!

Everything I didn't see in the Nezha instance, I actually saw in the Yang Jian instance! (End of Chapter)
