Chapter 3

Primordial.

Somewhere.

Maitreya had completed the mission and was happily thinking about going back to receive his reward.

Suddenly, a figure blocked his path.

Seeing Nuwa appear, Maitreya was stunned for a moment. Not long ago, he had confused Di Xin into offering incense at the Nuwa Temple and writing a poem to blaspheme Nuwa. Now that the main person had suddenly appeared, he felt a bit panicked.

"Maitreya, greets Saint Nuwa."

Nuwa did not give Maitreya a chance to speak again and slapped him to death with one palm.

"Daring to scheme against this Emperor, you will be the first person on the list, forever trapped in the Investiture of the Gods, and let those two bald donkeys know that this Emperor is not to be trifled with!"

After speaking, she struck Maitreya's true spirit toward the direction of Mount Kunlun.

Maitreya was still confused until his death; a Saint had come up and killed him without a word.

Mount Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace.

Auspicious clouds swirled, and there were ten thousand strange phenomena.

Yuanshi Tianzun woke up from meditation.

"Strange, a true spirit just entered the Investiture of the Gods."

"But the first link of the Investiture of the Gods is not yet ready. Taiyi should not have killed Shi Ji yet. Why is there a true spirit on the list so early?"

Doubts arose in his heart, and as he raised his hand, the Investiture of the Gods appeared in his hand.

Checking the true spirit inside, Yuanshi was very surprised.

"Maitreya?"

Following that, he snorted coldly, showing disdain.

"The upper beam is not straight, so the lower beam is crooked. The disciples taught by those two are all the same as them, born with bad roots, all of them are shameless people. They were probably cheating and swindling somewhere, and were killed after robbing others. They deserve to be on the list."

After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes and ignored it.

Maitreya was the first disciple of the Western Sect. In the barren land of the West, his foundation was considered first-class, but compared to the Twelve Golden Immortals, he was far behind, and Yuanshi Tianzun looked down on him completely.

Guanjiangkou.

Yang Jian's hometown, at this time the gate was tightly closed.

"Young man, there has been no one in the Yang Mansion for a long time."

An old man passing by saw Gu Xiu at the gate of the Yang Mansion and shouted to him.

The old man was kind-hearted, and Gu Xiu returned a smile: "Thank you for telling me, old man."

The current situation indicated that the Yang family had already been wiped out by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

The plan to snatch people from the hands of the Chan Sect might fall through.

But since he was already here, Gu Xiu planned to go into the Yang Mansion to take a look.

His figure disappeared from the spot, which startled the old man, who rubbed his eyes: "Did I just see an immortal?"

Inside the Yang Mansion, in the courtyard, fallen leaves covered the ground, and no one cleaned them.

The windows of the house were already covered with spider webs, and when the wind blew, they creaked.

"Abandoned for a long time, it seems that the incident happened some time ago. Time waits for no one."

"Ding!"

"The Host has triggered a special event. Please make a choice cautiously."

"Option One: Go to Dashipo to save the Yang siblings. Reward: Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil: Eye of Breaking Delusion!"

"Option Two: Assist the Heavenly Court, inform the Giant Spirit God of the location of the two siblings, and help capture the Yang siblings. Reward: Innate Dao Body! (Born with an affinity for the laws of heaven and earth, can easily get started with any Dao method, and the cultivation speed is far beyond ordinary people. Simply the son of the Heavenly Dao.)"

"Option Three: Leave the Yang Mansion and return to the dojo to cultivate. Nothing happens."

The Yang siblings were still fleeing outside, which surprised Gu Xiu a little.

He ignored the third option directly and focused his eyes on options one and two.

He wanted every reward.

But assisting the Heavenly Court had no benefits at all.

Assisting the Yang siblings could also gain their trust.

This way, snatching people from the hands of the Chan Sect would have a few more points of certainty.

And currently, his cultivation was a hard flaw.

The Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil, this kind of innate supernatural power, could make up for this point, giving him the possibility of fighting across levels and increasing his means of attack.

After weighing it in his heart, Gu Xiu said: "System, I choose option one."

"Ding!"

"Selection successful. Mission time limit is three hours. Please complete it as soon as possible, Host. The mission will be void after the deadline!"

"Three hours? Enough."

Dashipo.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan leaned on each other, hurrying in a panic.

Ever since the Yang family was wiped out by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had chased Yang Jian and Yang Chan to the point where they had nowhere to go.

Every time they arrived at a place and rested for a few days, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would kill their way over.

After many days of avoiding the pursuit of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Yang Chan's body clearly couldn't take it anymore, and her steps were slightly staggering.

Gu Xiu was in the sky, pushing aside the clouds to look down.

"So this is Yang Jian and Yang Chan? One has sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and is high-spirited. He is worthy of being the future True Lord Erlang, Sage of Manifested Holiness. One, although still green, is already a beauty. She is the future Three Holy Mother."

"Taking advantage of her greenness at this time, she should be easy to fool, but the other party seems to be someone Lady Nuwa has taken a fancy to, so I'd better not mess around..."

Just as he wanted to go down, he suddenly noticed a dark cloud mass attacking from the distant sky. Looking closely, it was rows of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Gu Xiu stopped.

The system gave him three hours, and now there were two hours left, which meant there was room for operation.

"Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. Since the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are here, let's wait until they fight with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals before taking action."

After the collapse of the Demon Court, the current Heavenly Court had just been rebuilt on the basis of the Demon Court.

There was not much manpower.

The leader, the Giant Spirit God, was also only at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Below, Yang Jian and Yang Chan didn't know that the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were already heading here.

After fleeing for several days, both of them were very tired. Seeing that Yang Chan couldn't hold on, Yang Jian said: "Third sister, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals haven't chased us. Let's go over there and rest for a while."

Hearing Yang Jian's words, Yang Chan nodded.

She had no ideas in her heart, and the whole Yang family was left with only the two of them depending on each other.

Now the backbone was her second brother, Yang Jian.

Yang Chan had just sat down under a tree and hadn't caught her breath yet.

The dark clouds in the sky attacked, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals appeared again.

A Heavenly General with a huge body, like an angry Vajra, roared loudly.

"Yang Jian, Yang Chan, why don't you surrender quickly? You have committed heinous crimes. Behave yourself and come back to the Heavenly Court with us to face the law!"

When Yang Jian saw this, he pulled Yang Chan and ran.

"Catch them!"

Seeing Yang Jian and Yang Chan about to run, the Giant Spirit God gave an order.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the sky fell together, surrounding the two of them.

Both siblings had the blood of gods and humans, were born with magic power, and had extraordinary physiques.

And they had great fortune, so the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals could do nothing to them.

At the moment of crisis, Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye erupted with powerful strength again, sweeping away a large group of Heavenly Soldiers. Seeing this, the Giant Spirit God swung his Xuanhua Axe to slash, but was forced back by the light of the Heavenly Eye.

Yang Jian forcibly killed a bloody path and took Yang Chan to escape.

Gu Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "The Heavenly Eye is indeed awesome."

The remaining Heavenly Soldiers and Generals wanted to chase.

Gu Xiu looked: "My reward, how could I let you destroy it."

He raised a gust of dust, blowing the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals until they were staggering.

"Ding!"

"Mission to save the Yang siblings completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil: Eye of Breaking Delusion!"

After receiving the reward and reading the description of the ability, Gu Xiu was overjoyed.

The Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil could break all delusions and illusions, and see the essence of things.

It could also be used as a means of attack. The eyes could shoot out various divine lights, and whoever he stared at would explode.

It was much higher-level than Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye.

"I am invincible below the Heavenly Immortal, and one-for-one above the Heavenly Immortal."

He looked in the direction where Yang Jian and Yang Chan had fled and chased after them.

After fleeing for a while, seeing that they had shaken off the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Yang Jian and Yang Chan both breathed a sigh of relief.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Are you Yang Jian and Yang Chan?"

Yang Jian and Yang Chan, who had just relaxed, immediately tensed up.

But seeing that the person in front of them was a young man with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament.

Yang Jian was puzzled: "Who are you?"

Gu Xiu showed a kind smile: "Don't be nervous. I am Gu Xiu, an immortal of the Jie Sect. Seeing that you have a master-disciple relationship with me, I want to take you as my disciple. I wonder what you think?"

"Take me as a disciple?" Yang Jian thought he had heard wrong.

Gu Xiu nodded slightly and said lightly: "Yes, I know the predicament you are facing. I can teach you immortal methods. Within a few years, you will be able to kill your enemies with your own hands, and even attacking the Heavenly Court will not be a problem."

"Master is above, please accept three bows from the disciple!" Yang Jian didn't even think about it and directly became his disciple.

The Yang family had been wiped out, and Yang Jian thought about killing the enemies with his own hands every moment, but he only hated himself for being too weak.

He still had to protect Yang Chan, and he couldn't even choose to perish with the enemy.

Now that someone said they wanted to take him as a disciple and teach him immortal methods, he wanted to become a disciple without thinking, fearing that Gu Xiu would go back on his word.

"Good disciple, get up quickly." Gu Xiu was overjoyed and helped Yang Jian, who had kowtowed three times, up.

"Master, can you let Third Sister also become your disciple?" After the apprenticeship was completed, Yang Jian's role changed quickly, and he immediately asked Gu Xiu to take Yang Chan as a disciple.

Gu Xiu glanced at Yang Chan: "Yang Chan has her own fate, but don't worry, I will take you to a safe place. Now let's deal with the matter at hand."

While Yang Jian was puzzled, a dark cloud mass attacked, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals appeared again.

"Yang Jian, Yang Chan, why don't you surrender quickly!"

On the clouds, the Giant Spirit God's burly body, with angry eyes like a Vajra, gave a violent shout.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals appeared again and surrounded them.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan panicked and subconsciously wanted to escape.

Gu Xiu walked forward and faced the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals directly. When Yang Jian and Yang Chan saw this, they stopped.

"Disciple, since you are already my disciple, I will support you in the future. Let me clean up these small fries!"

Such heroic words made Yang Jian's blood boil, and Gu Xiu's back became exceptionally tall in his eyes.

Seeing someone obstructing, the Giant Spirit God roared loudly: "Who are you? Yang Jian and Yang Chan are wanted criminals of the Heavenly Court! If you dare to obstruct, you are an accomplice, and the crime is one degree heavier!"

"Yang Jian is already my disciple. Take your people and get out quickly, or die!"

"Presumptuous! Daring to obstruct the Heavenly Court from capturing wanted criminals, and being disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, the crime is unforgivable! Kill!"

A dignified Heavenly Court god general was threatened by someone. The Giant Spirit God could no longer endure it and gave an order. The Heavenly Soldiers responded in unison, and the sound waves rolled, shaking the nine heavens.

Gu Xiu didn't take it seriously and planned to use them to test the Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil.

As soon as the Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil opened, his eyes shot out divine light!

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

After a few sizzles, all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were gone.

When the Giant Spirit God saw that Gu Xiu was so terrifying, he hurriedly fled.

"Want to escape?"

Gu Xiu's eyes shot out divine light again, piercing the Giant Spirit God's immortal body.

His immortal body healed rapidly, then split open again, repeating constantly.

Finally, unable to endure it, his huge body fell from the cloud mass.

"Remember, I spared your life because I want my disciple to take it himself in the future!" Looking at the direction where the Giant Spirit God fell, Gu Xiu said lightly.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan were stunned. The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had chased them for several years were wiped out by Gu Xiu in just a few moves.

Yang Jian felt a yearning. It seemed he had chosen the right master, and there was hope for killing the enemies with his own hands.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Gu Xiu was very satisfied.

"Let's go, Master will take you to see your Grandmaster. I believe they will be very happy to see you."

After speaking, he summoned auspicious clouds to take Yang Jian and Yang Chan away, heading toward the East Sea.

Yang Jian was a disciple designated by the Chan Sect, and snatching people from their hands would surely be discovered quickly.

So Gu Xiu planned to go to the Three Immortals Island to seek protection, and by the way, go to see his master, as well as his two junior uncles, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao.

He also wanted to see what the Sect of Interception's dojo, Golden Turtle Island, was like, and show his face in front of Duobao and the Four Great Holy Mothers in advance, so that things would be easier to handle in the future.
