Chapter 486: Yang Jian Apprentices Himself to Xuanzang?

"A long time ago, when the heavens and earth first opened, all things were in Chaos, and countless fierce beasts were born in response to the tribulation, fighting endlessly in this vast world, leading to the suffering of all living beings.

Later, the Saint Nuwa refined five-colored stones to mend the heavens, saving the common people, driving away a large number of fierce beasts, and sealing some of them as well.

Among them, the most formidable was the ancient fierce beast, the Black Bird. The power of the Black Bird was unfathomable, reaching the heavens, and its fire-bathing power could burn the heavens and boil the earth.

The Black Bird is connected to the Qi Luck of the heavens and earth; it is immortal and indestructible, and could only be sealed.

But every thousand years, the power of the Black Bird would surge, wreaking havoc on the world; if the seal were not reinforced, the Black Bird would break through it.

It is just that after Saint Nuwa mended the heavens back then, she returned to Chaos, making it harder than difficult to seal the Black Bird.

But the Great Dao is fifty, its derived Qi is forty-nine, and one escapes; there is always a glimmer of survival left.

A female immortal emerged, using her own magic power and bloodline to reinforce the seal and suppress the Black Bird once more.

And this female immortal was Princess Yaoji; later, the Jade Emperor, mindful of Yaoji's Merit, acknowledged her as his sister."

Taiyi Zhenren slowly recounted a secret; few people knew of this past event.

"What! It was actually Mother who sealed the Black Bird?" Yang Jian said.

"Wrong, it was not sealing, it was reinforcing," Taiyi Zhenren corrected.

"Immortal, so what do you mean?" Yang Chan seemed to have thought of something, but was not yet certain.

"Actually, for immortals to fall in love and have a child is not a big problem, let alone when it is the Jade Emperor's sister?

But it was precisely because of the existence of the Black Bird that the Jade Emperor became enraged.

Yaoji fell in love with a mortal and bore offspring, and her bloodline power was therefore divided by more than half by you two.

This led to the result that the next time the power of the Black Bird erupted, Yaoji had no extra power to reinforce the seal again, and the final result would be that both jade and stone would be burned together.

On the surface, the Jade Emperor sealed Yaoji under Peach Mountain; in reality, beneath Peach Mountain is the place where the Black Bird is sealed. The Jade Emperor is using Yaoji to seal the Black Bird, so do you understand now!

On one side is Yaoji, on the other is the common people! The Jade Emperor had no choice but to abandon Yaoji," Taiyi Zhenren said.

"This seems different from the Investiture of the Gods I know," Nezha muttered to himself.

"The truth is actually like this?" Yang Jian's eyes were vacant.

"If you want to save your mother, the Peach Mountain seal will be forced open, and the Black Bird will also be released. Sigh, child..." Taiyi Zhenren sighed.

"Master, although what you said makes a lot of sense. But I don't believe that with just one Black Bird, there is no one in the entire heavens and earth who can deal with it?

If Nuwa Niangniang is not here, what about Grandmaster Yuanshi Tianzun, or Grandmaster Tongtian? Can't Grandmaster Taishang deal with it?" Nezha said.

Furthermore, he is the reincarnation of the Hunyuan Pearl, and the Hunyuan Pearl is a supreme treasure condensed from absorbing the evil Qi of heaven and earth at the time of the creation; in terms of power, it is not inferior to the Black Bird in any way.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun gave him a Heavenly Tribulation Curse gift package.

So, why didn't Yuanshi Tianzun give the Black Bird a Heavenly Tribulation Curse gift package?

Speaking of this, Taiyi Zhenren's expression became a bit unnatural, appearing somewhat ashamed.

"Child, if I keep talking, your master might be struck by lightning," Taiyi Zhenren said.

"Fat Master, what are you afraid of? With Holy Monk Xuanzang protecting us, it would be useless even if the Grandmaster came," Nezha said.

"Immortal, I need the truth," Yang Jian said loudly.

"Don't force me, sigh..."

"It's not easy for me either!"

"If you don't tell me, Master, when your lifespan ends one day and you fall, your disciple will scatter your ashes!" Nezha said.

"I really thank you, you unfilial brat."

Taiyi Zhenren wore a mournful face and sighed:

"Everything has its pros and cons. Although the Black Bird is an ancient fierce beast, it inherently contains vast Qi Luck and energy that endures for a long time.

In the process of sealing it, the Golden Glow Cave lineage discovered that they could utilize this power to cultivate... so you understand now.

It is not just Golden Glow Cave; among the Twelve Golden Immortals, there are several Golden Immortals who have utilized the power of the Black Bird.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, the Black Bird cannot be released. Once the seal is broken, those Golden Immortals will no longer be able to continue absorbing the Black Bird's Qi of Luck."

"Brat, do you think your master really wants to run around the world? It's just that those senior brothers keep causing trouble, and my conscience won't allow it, so I had to leave Kunlun Mountain..."

"So, little child of the Yang family, do you still want to go to Golden Glow Cave now? This is a trap!"

After finishing all this, looking at the sky, dark clouds were vaguely gathering, and it seemed as if lightning was appearing.

Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly hid behind Nezha, fearing that this heavenly lightning would strike him.

In fact, to truly deal with the Black Bird, with Yuanshi Tianzun's strength, it would be simple and pleasant.

However, because of the benefits the Black Bird's power provides to the Golden Immortal realm, he just turned a blind eye to it.

And essentially, sealing the Black Bird is a matter that benefits the common people.

If the Black Bird were to emerge, with its reputation as an ancient fierce beast, Renjian would likely turn into a sea of fire.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan were lost in thought; they had originally thought their mother was sealed because she missed the mortal world.

But here with Taiyi Zhenren, in fact, for immortals to fall in love and have a child is not a big deal at all.

Moreover, their uncle is the Jade Emperor; with the Jade Emperor as their strongest backer, what is there to fear?

But the root of everything is the bloodline; their mother giving birth to them caused the bloodline power that seals the Black Bird to weaken.

Immediately, Yang Jian's face showed a look of determination, and he said:

"No matter what, I must save my mother."

"If you want to save your mother, it is absolutely impossible without Golden Immortal strength. Do you still want to go to Golden Glow Cave?" Taiyi Zhenren asked.

"How about this, Fat Master, you teach Brother Yang Jian magic arts. Actually, to tell the truth, your skills are very strong, and you have many treasures," Nezha said.

Hearing this, the Yang siblings looked at Taiyi Zhenren with anticipation.

Taiyi Zhenren, however, shook his head and said:

"Child, it is not that I won't teach you, but that you are truly excellent talents and beautiful jade; staying with me would only bury your potential.

Moreover, I do not know the supreme technique of the Chan Sect, the Eight-Nine Profound Art."

"But Senior Brother Yuding of Golden Glow Cave will..., sigh!"

"Taiyi Zhenren, I believe that man can conquer heaven. There is no strongest magic, what is strong is the person who uses it.

"What Yang Jian needs right now is an opportunity, an opportunity to change his fate and grasp power," Yang Jian said.

To tell the truth, Yang Jian had already been pre-selected by Yuding Zhenren.

If he were to take Yang Jian as a disciple, he reckoned he would not be able to survive in the Chan Sect, and it was very likely he would also receive a severe beating.

But looking at it now, these two children are truly too pitiful; he could not bear it.

Perhaps he should just take them, at most he would be locked up by the Grandmaster for a few hundred years...

Just as Taiyi Zhenren was about to speak, Nezha suddenly said:

"Actually, I have another Great Ability here who could be chosen."

Taiyi was displeased and said:

"You brat, looking across heaven and earth, who is better at teaching disciples than me?"

"Xuanzang Sheng Seng, though I am not sure if he would accept him. If he does accept him, Brother Yang Er, you will be blessed," Nezha chuckled.

Once Xuanzang Sheng Seng accepted Yang Jian, even if they were to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the future, they would have someone backing them.

They would not even fear the Jade Emperor!
