Chapter 320

（Just kidding, cutting the book? How could that be?! My buddy worked so hard writing all this, how could he just cut it lightly? Just bored, complaining a bit while checking if there's anyone still alive…）

Hua Yunfei's talent and Dao heart are absolutely among the very peak in this lifetime; even against Ye Fan, he wouldn't dare say he has full confidence.

And a few decades ago, like many heavenly prideful ones, he resolutely embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road for training, but he was very low-key in character.

Under normal circumstances, they keep a low profile.

However, some people's brilliance cannot be concealed; after just a few bouts, his fame spread, and many outstanding individuals admired him.

It seems he killed a peerless heavenly pride on the ancient road, and that person happened to come from an ancient clan in the depths of the universe.

The Yaochi Saintess spoke, saying she had always remained in the Northern Dipper, having some understanding and grasp of many great eras, and the Taixuan Sect naturally was among them.

That ancient force is said to be a powerful clan with astonishing talent and terrifying bloodline; few forces dare to provoke it.

No need to trouble the Imperial Prince with this; the two of us will handle it.

The Black Emperor stepped forward, exchanging a glance with the Dragon Horse; a sly arc curled at the corner of his eye, as if he were definitely hatching some scheme.

That's right; the two of us are enough for this, no matter where they come from. If they dare offend the Imperial Prince's dignity, let them taste this seat's supreme skill!

The Dragon Horse let out a resonant snort, emitting a roar like a dragon's chant, eager and impatient to try.

Then you all be careful...

Yang Zhu wasn't worried about the safety of those two fellows; he just wanted them to take it easy, not to drive each other to collapse.

Sure!

Seeing Yang Zhu nod, the Big Black Dog and the Dragon Horse became so excited they almost jumped up; they immediately hurriedly set up a domain gate and crossed toward the Taixuan Sect.

Imperial Prince, Saintess...

Only two days later, an elder from Yaochi sought them out and explained the purpose.

Less than a month remains until the wedding day; logically, the Yaochi Saintess should return to Yaochi and begin making thorough preparations.

Then... I'll wait for you at the edge of Yaochi.

Even though reuniting with Yang Zhu after a long separation, she didn't want to part so quickly, but the Yaochi Saintess knew that her marriage to Yang Zhu was an unparalleled major event.

When the time comes, guests from all directions and powerful beings will gather; everything must be arranged properly, so there's no room for delay.

Alright, I'll wait to marry you.

The two lightly embraced, then temporarily parted.

I know you hate the Golden Crow Clan; now that I've returned, you can go all out in battle without any reservations.

Yang Zhu patted Tongtong's keyboard; although the latter has now become an existence that can look down on a region, in Yang Zhu's eyes he remains that little boy from the start.

Brother...

Tongtong nodded; although outwardly still calm, his clenched fists betrayed his inner unrest.

Initially, Yang Zhu rescued him from the Golden Crow's hands, and thereafter protected him even more, always standing behind him.

Becoming his strongest backing and greatest source of confidence.

It can be said that Yang Zhu is the person he respects most; no one can shake Yang Zhu's position in his heart.

Go ahead; just remember to attend the banquet when the time comes.

Alright, I will definitely avenge our lost kin and never let my brother down!

Tongtong left, his stature tall and back steadfast, like a rising new star, while Tingting closely followed behind.

Xiao Nannan blinked her eyes, looking at the distant crowd, not overly sad; as long as Yang Zhu was by her side, that was enough.

Big brother, where are we going next?

The little one now held Yang Zhu's hand, tilting his head to ask; with his neat goat-horn braids and his clean, puffy face, he easily evoked affection.

Brother will take you around to see everything.

Yang Zhu smiled; as for where to go, he wasn't too sure either, just wanting to spend some good time with the little one.

Whenever he thought of Nannan's decades of wandering in turmoil in the Zi Wei region, his heart felt uneasy; clearly such a sensible little one had been constantly pursued.

Good, good!

Xiao Nannan kept nodding her head, just giving a simple, innocent smile; her voice sounded like a silver bell, pleasant and soothing to the heart.

Under the setting sun, two figures—one large, one small—strolled between heaven and earth, reaching the utmost speed; with a single step performing the "Shifting Stars and Moving Dipper," they shifted thousands of miles.

Even if a sage came, it would be hard to catch their trail.

The Ancient Forbidden Zone is formed by nine holy mountains converging, encircling an unfathomable abyss.

Below the holy mountains are nine divine springs whose waters gush forth, possessing many miraculous effects, and on them grow holy fruits of various appearances.

After word spread that the Road to Immortality was about to open, many experts from outside the region rushed over.

Among the earliest arrivals, many chose to settle outside the Ancient Forbidden Zone, closely watching everything within the forbidden zone.

Because rumors say the entrance to the Road to Immortality likely lies beneath that abyss! "Brother, have you given that fruit to Nannan to eat?"

The next day, Yang Zhu and Nannan appeared outside the forbidden zone, gazing at the nine divine springs; little Nannan excitedly pointed at the holy fruits and spoke in a clear voice.

"Yes."

Yang Zhu gently stroked the little one's head, his eyes revealing profound mysteries as he fixed his gaze on the position of that abyss.

The principles of the Emperor's Dao emerged, reflected in his gaze; through numerous forbidden scriptures, he faintly saw a figure bound by iron chains.

That person was tall and mighty, though his divine power had long been exhausted; even a mere wisp of his leaking aura could make all heavens tremble.

He was tightly bound by several thick iron chains; beneath him lay an altar flowing with five divine lights—the Five-Colored Altar!

Clatter...

The figure in the abyss sensed him; in an instant, despite the endless distance, it swung a strike toward him—perhaps the movement was too violent, causing the iron chains to clatter loudly.

"Who are you..."

In a vague moment, a muffled sound echoed in Yang Zhu's mind, like a heavy blow, inducing an indescribable shock and awe.

「The human saint's body has never been unworthy of the human race; it can truly bear the two words 'human race'. 」

Yang Zhu passed through the endless illusion, locking eyes with that pair of unfocused gaze, finally heaved a long sigh and withdrew his divine sense.

In the era when the ancient great emperors did not appear, nine completed Holy Bodies emerged, turning the tide, saving humanity from the brink of collapse; their merit is immeasurable, worthy of being recorded in history!

If not for the hard-to-break curse that a Holy Body cannot prove the Dao, then if any one of them could even step onto that threshold, they would surely be able to reign over an era.

"Big brother, I seem to have seen a pretty older sister……"

Beside him, Nannan seemed to have seen something extraordinary, continually blinking her eyes and lightly tugging at Yang Zhu.

"Alright, let's go."

Yang Zhu blinked in surprise, never expecting the little one to actually be able to see his true form; it truly exceeded his expectations.

But soon he came to terms, taking Nannan's hand, he left the place without lingering.

Over the following days, Yang Zhu continued to bring Nannan along as they wandered the Eastern Wasteland; when passing through a certain region, his heart stirred.

With a light swipe of her crystal-clear finger, a rift was torn in the void, inside which connected to a certain small world. Heaven's Village, an ordinary village, back then, under the joint efforts of Ye Fan and the assassin Qi Luo, evolved into a small world.

This way they can better conceal their forms, avoiding detection by assassins of the mortal realm and Hell.

"It's time to come and have a look."

Although Yang Zhu is truly the Lord of the Heavenly Court, when he has time he still comes here for a visit.

Nowadays Heaven's Village, now the Heavenly Court, is no longer what it once was, relying solely on the Saint Qi Luo to sustain it.

Back then, Ye Fan left the Big Dipper for Earth, not only bringing back Huahua but also many rare treasures, enabling the Heavenly Court's strength to rapidly grow.

Nowadays the Heavenly Court has taken shape, producing several Saints, even possessing Saint Kings, and is developing toward a positive trend.

Yang Zhu made no attempt to hide his movements, simply bringing Nannan as he descended at the entrance of Heaven's Village.

"Who are you?"

Soon a young man responsible for patrols spotted them and immediately became alert.

He could be certain that Yang Zhu was definitely not from this place, yet the other party could arrive here soundlessly, proving their strength was extraordinary! Although the young man was questioning, the fear and anxiety on his face could not be concealed, for fear those people had come……

"Step back, this is the Lord of the Heavenly Court, do not be rude."

Before Yang Zhu could explain, Qi Luo arrived; upon seeing Yang Zhu, his eyes, full of wrinkles, felt somewhat dry.

The news of the Imperial Son's return, he had naturally heard as well, but he never expected that he would personally come to Heaven's Village.

"What…… you are the Lord of the Heavenly Court? Someone even stronger than the Holy Body Ye Fan?"

The young man started, not knowing Yang Zhu's true identity, only aware that Ye Fan, as strong as a Holy Body, was merely a vice-master of the court.

Yet the true supreme leader of the Heavenly Court has always been a mystery; aside from Ye Fan and Qi Luo, no one knows their identity.

"Over these years it seems you have endured many great tribulations."

With just a glance, Yang Zhu thoroughly examined Qi Luo's entire body, discovering many terrible wounds, all left from previous assassinations.

Among them, there is an unhealed wound that pierces his body, the point of entry being only a hair's breadth from his heart.

If it had been even slightly worse, Qi Luo would likely have already perished.

"The Heavenly Court has just been formed, yet the people of the mortal realm and Hell keep relentlessly pursuing……"

Qi Luo couldn't help but sigh; if not for his great fortune, over these years he would have died countless times, having several narrow escapes from death.

Just before midnight, he encountered an old assassin of Hell who was a Saint King-level; instantly they both became assassins, vowing to behead each other.

Although Qi Luo barely won, he also paid an extremely heavy price, being pierced by a forbidden weapon from his opponent, a wound that remains difficult to heal to this day.

"You have worked hard."

Yang Zhu reached out and stroked, a divine light entered Qi Luo's body; wherever it passed, vitality fully restored, all wounds and hidden ailments miraculously healed!

"This……"

Qi Luo couldn't believe it, lowering his head to look at his body restored to peak condition, moved to the point of tears streaming down.

His strength inevitably returned to its peak, and even with a seemingly casual wave of his hand, he could clearly feel that his lifespan had increased by several decades at least!

"Many…… many thanks, Court Master!"

He could not help but perform a great bow; everyone says the Chaos Holy Fetus is the greatest since ancient times, only by seeing it with clear eyes can one know how terrifying it is.

Like a supreme deity, merely raising a hand or taking a step can unleash heaven-defying Shen Gong, leaving observers in awe!

Yang Zhu nodded, wandering here for a while, occasionally laying down vast formation patterns; before leaving, he also left behind piles of supreme treasures like small mountains.

At the site where the Heavenly Court was founded, Yang Zhu, while handing over an entire hall of Hell's foundation to Ye Fan, calculating, it seems the world's supply should soon be exhausted.

"Seeing off the Court Master!"

Qi Luo bade farewell to Yang Zhu with boundless gratitude; not only were his own wounds healed,

and the supreme treasures left behind could enable the Heavenly Court's strength to surge greatly again in a short time!

After leaving Heaven's Village, Yang Zhu did not wander but returned to Purple Mountain.

"There are so many monsters here, big brother, they won't hurt us, will they?"

Little Nannan perhaps was a bit afraid; since entering this place, she has clung tightly to Yang Zhu, unwilling to let go.

The path they entered originally had no unborn ancestral kings, but the little one was so extraordinary that he actually saw even more distant places.

"With big brother here, they can't hurt you."

Yang Zhu held Nannan in his arms, softly comforting her; indeed it worked, the little one immediately stopped being frightened and became very obedient.

"Imperial Son."

Yang Zhu returned to the empty great hall of Purple Mountain; soon, Gu Tian Shu, Zhang Lin, and the previous Yao Chi Shen Nv appeared.

They all performed great bows, showing little respect.

"Why are you also here?"

Looking at Yang Yi, Yang Zhu felt some emotion; indeed she is a lovesick woman, having come here together with Zhang Lin to guard Purple Mountain.

"Reply, Imperial Son: Yang Yi wishes to stay by his side, originally intending to follow the Imperial Son unto death!"

Yang Yi spoke resolutely, saying that back then he could have, for Zhang Lin, fearlessly ventured into Purple Mountain, ultimately being sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years, a narrow escape from death.

Nowadays, she would still act without hesitation, not wavering in the slightest! "The path to immortality is truly about to open; hurry up and increase your strength."

Yang Zhu said nothing, taking out the Dao Origin and immortal liquid to distribute to several people, and also producing countless medicine kings and immortal treasures, too many to number.

Among them, there were no shortage of the Great Emperor's scriptures!

"Imperial Son, will the path to immortality truly open in the Northern Dipper in this lifetime?" Gu Tianshu inquired.

"Naturally, by then not even a Great Sage, let alone quasi-emperors below the supreme level, will have the right to meddle."

After a moment's thought, Yang Zhu brought up this cruel fact: the path to immortality is extremely perilous; even if a Supreme being charges in, they will end up with nothing left but bones! Its tragedy and horror are imaginable, hard to estimate.

"We understand."

Several people clasped their fists, that very day entering seclusion, consuming the immortal liquid and various immortal treasures.

"The day of the Imperial Son's great wedding has finally arrived!"

"Rare since ancient times, truly something to look forward to..."

As the day of the great wedding draws nearer, the Northern Dipper is no longer calm; the parting clouds all stir, and all factions emerge.

The Jade Pool Holy Land, aloof from the mundane world, holds undisputed first place among the few Holy Bodies in strength.

Moreover, they dislike participating in disputes; their reputation and prestige have always been excellent, earning respect and courteous treatment from all sides.

No new.

Since ancient times, Yaochi has rarely seen disciples marry; now it has happened, and it is their Saintess—truly rare—how could it not be taken seriously?

Terms: Jade Pool (Jade Pool). Holy Maiden (Holy Maiden). disciple (disciple) generic. marry (marry) generic.

(End of chapter) - end of chapter, not a term.

Now compile list of unique terms:

Person names:

- Yang Zhu (Yang Zhu)

- Gu Tianshu (Gu Tianshu)

Titles/ranks:

- Imperial Son (Imperial Son)

- Great Sage (Great Sage)

- Supreme (Supreme)

- Quasi-Emperor (Quasi-Emperor)

- Medicine King (Medicine King)

- Holy Maiden (Holy Maiden)

- Holy Bodies? maybe not.

Places/regions:

- Northern Dipper (Northern Dipper)

- Jade Pool (Jade Pool)

Items/artifacts:

- Immortal Road (Immortal Road)

- Dao Source (Dao Source)

- Immortal Liquid (Immortal Liquid)

- Immortal Treasures (Immortal Treasures)

- Great Emperor's Scriptures (Great Emperor's Scriptures)

Sect/faction:

- Jade Pool Holy Land (Jade Pool Holy Land)

Technique? Not really.

Beast? None.

Realm? Possibly "Immortal Road" as a path; but we already have.

Now we need to output glossary list as JSON array of objects with raw_term (English) and original_term (Chinese). Use exact English we decided.

We must ensure we output each term only once.

Let's list:

1. Yang Zhu - Yang Zhu

2. Gu Tianshu - Gu Tianshu

3. Imperial Son - Imperial Son

4. Great Sage - Great Sage

5. Supreme - Supreme

6. Quasi-Emperor - Quasi-Emperor

7. Medicine King - Medicine King

8. Holy Maiden - Holy Maiden

9. Northern Dipper - Northern Dipper

10. Jade Pool - Jade Pool

But we also have "Jade Pool Holy Land" as a term; we could include it as a separate entry: "Jade Pool Holy Land" - Jade Pool Holy Land. However, if we include both Jade Pool and Jade Pool Holy Land, there is redundancy. The instruction: list every character, place, sect/clan/faction/people, official & sect rank/title, technique, item/artifact, beast, and realm that appears. "Jade Pool Holy Land" is a place name (holy land). So we should include it as a place. "Jade Pool" alone also appears as part of that phrase; but also appears alone in line 134: "Jade Pool, there are few examples of disciples marrying". So "Jade Pool" appears alone as well. So we need to include both the place name "Jade Pool" and the full name "Jade Pool Holy Land". However "Jade Pool Holy Land" is just "Jade Pool" plus "Holy Land". Since we already have "Jade Pool" as a place, we could still include both; but we might consider "Jade Pool Holy Land" as a sect/holy land name. To be safe, include both.

Thus entries:

- Jade Pool - Jade Pool

- Jade Pool Holy Land - Jade Pool Holy Land

Now items:

- Immortal Road - Immortal Road

- Dao Source - Dao Source

- Immortal Liquid - Immortal Liquid

- Immortal Treasures - Immortal Treasures

- Great Emperor's Scriptures - Great Emperor's Scriptures

Now check for any other terms: "Dao Source" maybe also "Dao Origin". We'll keep "Dao Source".

"Immortal Elixir" and "Immortal Treasure" we have.

"Great Emperor's Scripture" we have.

"Path to Immortality" we have.

"Grand Wedding" maybe not needed.

"Holy Maiden" we have.

"Medicine King" we have.

"Supreme" we have.

"Great Sage" we have.

"Quasi-Emperor" we have.

"Imperial Prince" we have.

"Northern Dipper" we have.

"Jade Pool" and "Jade Pool Holy Land".

Now also "Holy Bodies"? Not needed.

Now also "Source of the Dao"? Already.

Now we need to output after all translations:
