Chapter 456: East Wind Express: The Achievement of

Huashan, Yang Chan's home.

A group of people were celebrating this victory joyfully in the courtyard, their faces flushed with a hint of wine.

Chenxiang was envious; he also wanted to drink. But Tang An said he was underage and would not let him drink.

"Master." Yang Jian raised his cup to toast Tang An, "This time, it is all thanks to Master appearing in time to rescue us. Great kindness needs no thanks; bottoms up."

Tang An clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Did you all use the Jade Pendant to contact me earlier?"

Yang Jian nodded, "Yes, but it seemed Master could not sense it."

Tang An pondered, "It seems the influence of the Great Tribulation is quite deep, to the point that even the connection between the Jade Pendants can be severed and blocked."

"But Master still arrived in time." Yang Jian poured wine for Tang An. "It is just that Yang Jian does not understand; if the connection between the Jade Pendants was severed, how did Master sense that Chenxiang was in danger?"

Tang An looked at everyone's confused faces, then smiled softly and gave a rough explanation.

"Let's put it this way: our victory this time was not accidental, but inevitable."

"Because from the moment Chenxiang was born, I had been deducing how the Great Tribulation would appear."

"And as early as when Chenxiang was a child, I taught him more than once how to deal with various situations during the Tribulation. I told him all the various scenarios I had deduced and taught him the corresponding solutions."

"The only thing I didn't teach him, and the hardest to control, was the situation today where everyone was affected by the Tribulation's fate."

"I was affected by the Tribulation's fate and could not sense the situation in the lower realm. The Jade Emperor was forcibly controlled by the Heavenly Dao to push the Great Tribulation to completion."

"And everyone's reason, self-control, and judgment of things were also affected to varying degrees of strength."

"Originally, this problem had no solution, until Master first met Chenxiang and left a Saint's Power inside the child's body. At that moment, the solution to this situation appeared naturally."

"Because no matter how deep the influence of the Tribulation's fate is, it cannot affect a Saint who is outside the situation. Tongtian Jiaozhu would surely sense the danger to Chenxiang's life, and by using this to break the situation, one strike would hit the mark."

Yang Jian seemed to understand, but he still had some confusion.

"For over ten years before this, Master had been busy in the Heavenly Court refining magic treasures and had not come to the lower realm to look for us, nor had you told Chenxiang in advance."

However, as soon as the words were out, Yang Jian realized.

Tang An could not come; even if she had come down during those ten-plus days in the Heavenly Realm, she absolutely could not explicitly tell Chenxiang and them the method to deal with the Great Tribulation.

Because once their conversation was spied upon by the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun would inevitably make preparations in advance.

Tang An drank a cup of wine and said, "The answer to this tribulation was actually hidden long ago in all the response methods I taught Chenxiang."

"When the Tribulation was fulfilled, all his past methods for dealing with the tribulation would automatically form something like puzzle pieces in his mind."

"He only needed to put that puzzle together himself, and he would inevitably be able to summarize an answer."

"Chenxiang was raised by me, and I even taught him to play so many puzzle games and solve so many high-difficulty problems; all of it was laying the groundwork for him to solve the mystery today."

"It can be said that today was not a trap set by the Heavenly Dao using a feint. It was a trap I had secretly laid more than ten years ago."

"More than ten years of layout, more than ten years of honing Chenxiang, were all just for today."

With these words, a stormy sea surged in everyone's hearts.

She had never revealed this matter to anyone, not even her three most trusted disciples; she had not given a single word of instruction in advance.

And precisely because of this, the Heavenly Dao could not perceive it, which led to the situation today that he thought was meticulous and rigorous.

Not only was his majesty damaged, but he also suffered a double loss, and even the Opening Heaven Axe was thrown in.

Sun Wukong was happy and shook his hands, poking his head out.

"Master, Master, are you really going to move that old man Jade Emperor from his position as the Jade Emperor?"

It seems Wukong's original intention has not changed, "You still want to be the Jade Emperor?"

"That is naturally..." He just wanted to say he did, but upon thinking about it, if he became the Jade Emperor, he would still be forcibly controlled and corrected by the Heavenly Dao, so he suddenly felt that the position of Jade Emperor was a pain in the rear.

"Forget it, forget it, my old Sun doesn't care for any Jade Emperor. When I want to sit in the old man Jade Emperor's seat, I'll just go up and lie on it for a while."

Right now, Sun Wukong was filled with sparkling curiosity about another matter.

"Master, can that Great Killing Weapon be taken out for my old Sun to see?"

Tang An waved her hand to manifest the Great Killing Weapon, which stood suspended in mid-air.

Sun Wukong circled around the magic treasure to look at it, and even used his hand to flick the little tail of the fuse.

"Does this treasure really have to be lit with fire to be activated?"

"No." Tang An shrugged, "I just purely felt it was fun, and it could create some tension to bluff people."

"Ah???"

Yang Jian and Nezha were both full of question marks.

Even they had been fooled by Tang An, all thinking that it required the Six Ding Divine Fire to activate the magic treasure.

As a result, it could be activated without the Six Ding Divine Fire?

"Then why did you ask me to light it before?" Nezha was very confused.

"To tease the Heavenly Dao. If I didn't do that, how would he feel tension, and how would he be intimidated by me?"

Once this was said, everyone's expressions were truly colorful.

The title of the number one person in the Three Realms for fooling the Heavenly Dao belonged to her, Tang An.

"Bang!"

Hongjun was so angry that he struck a bolt of lightning near Tang An, giving everyone a fright.

Tang An's ears were ringing from the blast, and she gasped. "This temper, one look and you know it's menopause."

"Hey! You are not allowed to strike me again; be careful, or I will get angry."

Sun Wukong was so happy he jumped up and slapped his thigh, "Then Master, what would happen if this treasure were lit by fire?"

"If it's lit, it's activated." Tang An was quite frank.

"Ah?" The few of them were even more confused. No, just a moment ago she said the magic treasure didn't need fire to be activated, so why could it be activated with fire now?

Seeing that her three disciples were puzzled, Tang An directly sent the method for activating the killing weapon into each of their Consciousness Seas.

In other words, this Magic Treasure is not only a Great Killing Weapon, but just like its owner Tang An, it is impossible to fathom.

Even without using fire to launch it, Tang An can still activate this treasure and push it to its absolute limit.

As for launching it with fire, that is the opportunity Tang An left for the three of them to activate this treasure. If they encounter a crisis in the future, they can borrow this Great Killing Weapon to protect themselves, just as they borrow the Qingping Sword from Tang An.

The three of them do not possess Saint's Power, so it stores Tang An's Dharma Power; only by using fire to activate it can they unleash a relatively powerful lethality and kill their enemies in a single strike.

"Master, this of yours..." Yang Jian was already so shocked that he was at a loss for words; no wonder this treasure could intimidate the Heavenly Dao and force the Heavenly Dao to retreat.

With such a treasure, unless the entire Outer Realm Demon Race pours out from their nest, he cannot imagine who else could ever seriously injure Tang An again.

Even if Tang An does not Enter Sainthood, by trading injury for a kill, she could harvest Ancestral Demons as easily as dropping dumplings into a pot.

"Master, this trip to your hometown, we have truly made a huge profit."

"You bet," Tang An tossed her hair, "The achievement of 'East Wind Express, Mission Accomplished' wasn't given for nothing."
