Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 97 The Jade Emperor Takes Action, Jade Cauldron Takes Action

Yao Ji remained silent, mainly because she was startled by her two children.

She never imagined that her child would become so amazing in just ten years.

"They must have suffered a lot during these ten years," Yao Ji thought to herself as she lay on Yang Jian's back.

After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes. If it weren't for her, her eldest and second sons wouldn't have suffered so much.

"Wait!" Yao Ji suddenly remembered something and called out.

"Mother, we can't wait. We can only rest once we enter Shouyang Mountain," Yang Jian said.

"You two are here, so where is your little sister?" Yao Ji suddenly asked.

"Mother, my little sister is under the protection of Goddess Nuwa and is perfectly safe. We came to rescue you without informing her," Yang Jiao said with a smile.

No sooner had Yang Jiao finished speaking than an attack flew towards them. Without even looking, Yang Jiao raised his hand and blocked the attack.

"Big Brother, what's wrong with you?" Yao Ji asked Yang Jiao with some curiosity.

Because Yang Jiao has now completely transformed into a different form, Yao Ji finds this very strange.

"Mother, this is due to the cultivation method of the Golden Core Path. I cultivate the Witch Transformation in the Witch-Demon Transformation of the Golden Core Path. This appearance is that of the Great Witch Kuafu, while Erlang cultivates the Demon Transformation," Yang Jiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing Yang Jiao's words, Yang Jian grinned, and the next second, Yao Ji found herself lying on the back of a tiger.

"Mother, hold on tight, we're about to speed up," Yang Jian said.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, Yao Ji unconsciously tightened her grip on the fur around the neck of the tiger that Yang Jian had transformed into.

In Heaven, the Jade Emperor, who witnessed this scene through the Kunlun Mirror, remained silent, but his gloomy expression indicated that he was on the verge of exploding.

"Useless, all of you are useless!" the Jade Emperor suddenly said.

After saying this, the Jade Emperor disappeared from the spot. The Queen Mother sighed slightly upon seeing this.

She had no way of persuading the Jade Emperor about this matter, nor would she try, because it involved the majesty of the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Laws.

"You wicked creature!" Suddenly, a furious roar came from the sky, causing Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, who were fleeing, to stumble.

"It's the Jade Emperor, he's caught up with us." Yao Ji frowned upon hearing this voice.

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's voice, even the heavenly soldiers staggered.

The next second, the Jade Emperor appeared in front of Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, looking down at them.

"You wicked creatures! Try to run again!" The Jade Emperor coldly stared at Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, his quasi-saint aura pressing down on them so much that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"Brother Jade Emperor..."

"Shut up, you vile woman! If it weren't for you, would I have lost so much face? Would the Heavenly Court have lost so much face? You are not worthy to be my sister." Before Yao Ji could finish speaking, the Jade Emperor interrupted her.

"Today, I will kill you and these two wretches to restore the honor of my Heavenly Court," the Jade Emperor said, looking at Yao Ji with disgust.

After speaking, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and struck out with a palm. Suddenly, a giant palm appeared in the sky and pressed down on Yang Jiao and Yang Jian.

"Move! Move!" Yang Jiao roared in a low voice, his eyes wide and his face flushed.

But it was all in vain. The Jade Emperor was a peak Quasi-Saint, far inferior to a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If the Jade Emperor were only an early Quasi-Saint, Yang Jiao might still have had a chance to break free.

Just as the giant palm was about to land on Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, a sword light suddenly flew over from a distance and instantly shattered the giant palm.

After the giant hand was shattered, the Jade Emperor grunted and then put his hand behind his back.

When the Jade Emperor put his hand behind his back, a drop of blood fell silently to the ground, but no one noticed it.

"What? Trying to bully the weak?" Yu Ding's voice came to Yang Jiao and Yang Jian's ears.

"Master!" Yang Jiao and Yang Jian exclaimed in surprise.

The next second, Master Yuding, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, appeared beside Yang Jiao and Yang Jian.

When he appeared, Yang Jiao and Yang Jian felt a sense of relief, and the oppressive aura pressing down on them instantly disappeared.

"If you want to fight, this humble Taoist will fight you." Jade Cauldron Immortal looked coldly at the Jade Emperor.

"Yu Ding, this is my family matter, and it is not your place to interfere," the Jade Emperor said in a low voice.

"They are my disciples," Yu Ding said calmly.

"So you're determined to oppose me?"

"You know perfectly well why you went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao?" Yu Ding looked at the Jade Emperor with a mocking smile.

"Good! Very good!" The Jade Emperor laughed in extreme anger.

"Kill them!" the Jade Emperor commanded the heavenly soldiers and generals who had caught up with him.

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's words, the faces of the heavenly soldiers and generals immediately turned pale. The Jade Cauldron Immortal before them was a Quasi-Saint! The Jade Emperor actually ordered them to kill a Quasi-Saint. Was he giving them too much credit?

Yu Ding didn't speak; he simply glanced at them, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals put away their weapons, their faces showing obedient expressions.

"If you want to fight, I'll fight you. If not, then get out of my way," Yu Ding said coldly to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor stood before the jade cauldron, unsure whether to attack or retreat.

If we fight, we probably won't win, and we'll lose all face. But if we retreat, both the Heavenly Court and we ourselves will lose face.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor regretted his actions. He regretted his rash decision to intercept and kill Yang Jiao and the others. He knew they were disciples of the Human Sect and that the Human Sect was extremely protective of its own. Why didn't he think twice before acting?

Seeing the Jade Emperor's face turn pale and then red, Yu Ding didn't expose him. He simply walked past the Jade Emperor and left with Yang Jiao and the others.

After Yu Ding led Yang Jian and the others away, the Jade Emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately unleashed his full power, and apart from the God of Justice, all the remaining heavenly soldiers present were annihilated by the Jade Emperor.

"Fool!" Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly when he saw the Jade Emperor's reaction.

The struggle between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man is about to begin, and the Jade Emperor is still causing internal strife within the Heavenly Court, as if he is afraid of losing.

"Hmph! I didn't expect you to make a fuss about Yao Ji. I've ended up doing all the work for you! But so what? The struggle between Heaven and Man cannot be changed by any one person." Yuanshi Tianzun said again.

In the view of Yuanshi Tianzun, the struggle between the Heavenly Way and the Human Way will surely be won by the Heavenly Way, because the Heavenly Way has the support of five sages, while Panhuang only has the Human Sect, which cannot make much of a splash.

"Take Yao Ji to see Yang Tianyou first. I'm going to see your master." After returning to Shouyang Mountain, Master Yuding said this to the Yang brothers and then left.

When Yang Tianyou saw Yao Ji, he was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly took two steps to Yao Ji and hugged her in his arms without waiting for her to say anything.

Yao Ji finally realized what was happening. She hugged Yang Tianyou tightly, as if she wanted to merge him into her own body.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yang Jian and Yang Jiao exchanged a glance before leaving the place to their father and mother. Their father and mother had not seen each other for ten years, and they must have had a lot to say to each other.

"Greetings, Master and Mistress!" After arriving at the Holy Glory Hall, Yu Ding cupped his hands in greeting to Pan Huang, Xi He, and Chang Xi.

"Yao Ji was saved?"

"Um!"

"Then let them stay with you for now. They are the most important part of my plan, and we must not let anything happen to them," Pan Huang said to Yu Ding Zhenren.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely not let anything happen to Yang Tianyou's family." Yu Ding nodded.

"Take good care of Yang Jiao and Yang Jian; they will be the vanguard in our battle against Heaven," Pan Huang said again.

"Yes!" Yu Ding nodded again.

"Then you should go back first."

"This disciple takes his leave!" Yu Ding bowed to Pan Huang and then left the Holy Emperor Palace.

"I wonder what the Three Immortals have been up to lately?" Pan Huang suddenly said.

"They've been in Chaoge recently. After Emperor Yi abdicated, Zi Shou succeeded him. Wen Zhong is a veteran of three reigns, and Kong Xuan and Da Peng are the guardian beasts of the Shang Dynasty, so they stayed in Chaoge," Chang Xi said with a smile.

"Di Xin has ascended the throne?" Pan Huang was somewhat surprised; it seemed he hadn't paid attention to matters concerning the human race for a long time.

"Yes! He has only been on the throne for less than three years." Xihe nodded.

"Di Xin has ascended the throne! It seems the time has come," Pan Huang murmured.

As Pan Huang was pondering this, the sages also received the news that the time was ripe to send their disciples to take up positions in the Heavenly Court.

The West was the most proactive; they sent their disciples to the Heavenly Court as soon as they received the message from the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

The quality of these disciples was somewhat questionable, but the Western Sect had an excuse: the West was impoverished, and finding these disciples had already emptied the entire West. This silenced everyone.

"When you go to the Heavenly Court, you must not tarnish the prestige of my Sage Sect!" Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly, looking at his disciples.

"Yes, Master!" the disciples of the Chan Sect said, bowing their hands.

"Go!" Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand.

Meanwhile, the same thing was happening in other sects of sainthood, with the same old rhetoric about not disgracing the saint's dignity.

"Great Clan Chief, the Sage Sect has made its move." Ruyi came to Panhuang's side.

"Yes! Then we need to start preparing too. I just don't know how they'll ignite this fuse." Pan Huang nodded.

He is now very curious: what will be the trigger for the conflict between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Humanity? And how will this trigger be ignited?

"What has Yun Zhongzi been up to lately?" Pan Huang suddenly asked, as he hadn't seen Yun Zhongzi in a long time.

"Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi has been in seclusion for a long time," Ruyi said.

"Okay! Go tell the Three Immortals to keep an eye on Chaoge and Di Xin's changes. If they find anything amiss, tell me immediately," Pan Huang said.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, it was the West that interfered, causing Di Xin to lose himself, which led to the events that followed. He did not want such a thing to happen again.

"Yes, Great Clan Chief." Ruyi nodded.

After receiving Ruyi's message, the Three Immortals of Chaoge immediately replied to her, telling her to tell their master that they would definitely pay attention.

"It's started. Now let's see who has the better chess skills." Pan Huang looked in the direction of Zixiao Palace with a smile on his face.

Just as Pan Huang was looking towards the direction of Zixiao Palace, Tiandao Hongjun also turned his gaze towards the direction of Shouyang Mountain.

"Humanity is the dominant force in the world, and the Heavenly Dao is the ultimate force. So it is only natural that humanity is subordinate to the Heavenly Dao. A comeback? Hmph!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun snorted coldly.

After hearing what Tiandao Hongjun said, Xuanmen Hongjun didn't say anything. He just wanted to be an observer and quietly watch the struggle between the human race and the Heavenly Dao.

If humanity wins, he will have a better chance of escaping the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao wins, he will continue to look for opportunities; Xuanmen Hongjun has plenty of time.

"Great Clan Chief, the Three Immortals have sent a message." Ruyi entered the Holy Palace.

"Is there any unusual activity in Chaoge?" Pan Huang asked.

"Hmm!" Ruyi nodded.

"What happened?"

"A large number of human deaths have occurred in the Nine Provinces. After investigating, Emperor Xin discovered that it was the river gods, mountain gods, and other earth deities appointed by the Heavenly Court who were worshipped by the human race who were causing trouble. They were making the human race use living people to sacrifice to them," Ruyi said to Panhuang.

"Are those Earth Deities demons?" Pan Huang frowned instantly upon hearing Ruyi's words.

The Nine Provinces were protected by the Nine Tripods, but as time has passed, the Nine Provinces are now much less restricted than when Yu the Great was in power, which has given some unscrupulous people an opportunity.

"I understand. Now, how does Di Xin plan to handle this matter?" Pan Huang asked.

"The Three Immortals sent a message saying that Emperor Xin was preparing to abolish these mountain gods and land gods. Only those who were recognized by the human race's fortune could be considered legitimate sacrifices, while the rest were all illegitimate sacrifices."

"Okay, you can go now." Pan Huang nodded.

"Yes." Ruyi nodded.

"Is this the fuse that ignited the conflict between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man?" Pan Huang murmured to himself after Ruyi left.

No one responded to Pan Huang; perhaps only the Heavenly Dao Hongjun and a few sages knew the specifics.

After Pan Huang finished speaking, he contacted the Great Golden Crow.

"What's going on in Chaoge?" Pan Huang asked.

"As you know, the demon race wasn't a monolithic entity even during Emperor Jun's era, let alone here. I can control the demon race under my jurisdiction, but there are still many demon races outside my jurisdiction. We nine golden crows have managed the vast majority of the demon races, but there are always some that slip through the net," the great golden crow said helplessly.

He was also paying attention to the conflict between the Heavenly Way and the Human Way. The Great Golden Crow originally intended to take this opportunity to allow the demon race and the human race to merge on a small scale, but the events in Chaoge caught the Great Golden Crow off guard.

At first, he thought these so-called mountain gods and river gods were just some mountain spirits and monsters, but he didn't expect them to be all demons, and these demons were not under the jurisdiction of the Great Golden Crow.

It's obvious that this was done intentionally by the Jade Emperor, but the reason for doing so is hard to say.

"I understand!" Pan Huang nodded.

"Do you need me to take care of this?" the Great Golden Crow asked.

"No need, you can stay in the Heavenly Court. Your presence and mine must not be exposed," Pan Huang quickly said.

"good!"

"This matter could very well become the fuse for the struggle between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man. If you want to gain something from this, you'd better start preparing in advance," Pan Huang said to the Great Golden Crow.

"Understood!" the Great Golden Crow replied.
