Chapter 781: Yang Jian Becomes an Apprentice

Zhaoge.

Yin Qi used the Immortal Spirit to process Identity Cards for Yang Jian and his two siblings, forged records of them having lived in Zhaoge for generations, and subsequently used Yang Jiao's Identity Card to purchase a villa for them.

To avoid being detected by the various Sages and major beings with great divine powers, he also used the Luck Altar to conceal the Heavenly Secret of the three.

In this way, as long as Yang Jian and the others did not appear before the various Sages, they would have no fear of being subjected to Calculation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yang Jian knelt down abruptly, knocked his head forcefully three times, and pleaded, "I beg the Daoist to accept me as a disciple. Once this disciple's great vengeance is avenged, I will surely serve by the Daoist's side for life after life."

"I beg the Daoist to accept me as a disciple."

Seeing this, Yang Jiao also hurriedly knelt down and knocked his head three times.

Seeing both her older brothers kneel, Yang Chan also hurriedly knelt down, knocked her head, and said, "I also beg the Daoist to accept me as a disciple."

Yin Qi nodded indifferently: "Very well."

"Ah... we pay our respects to our Master."

Yang Jian and his two siblings were both shocked and delighted, and they knocked their heads three more times.

They had not expected that becoming an apprentice would be so easy.

Yin Qi said: "Get up. Do you know why I saved you, and why I have accepted you as my disciples?"

Yang Jian and his two siblings stood up as told.

Yang Jiao, being the eldest, said tentatively: "Does Master know my mother? Who exactly is my mother, and why did those Immortals want to kill my father?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "I do not know your mother, nor do I know your father. I was entrusted by your cousin. As for your mother's identity, she is the sister of the Haotian Jade Emperor."

The Jade Emperor, the nominal Lord of the Three Realms, the Supreme of the Immortal World.

As for why they wanted to kill your father, it is because your mother married your father.

Your mother is the sister of the Jade Emperor; what great honor is that.

Your father was merely a First Order mortal.

To the Haotian Jade Emperor, what your mother did was simply a disgrace to the Heavenly Court, and also a disgrace to him.

Naturally, he would not allow your father to live.

And that includes the three of you."

Yang Jiao and the others understood only vaguely; they had no idea of the significance and weight of the Heavenly Court, the Three Realms, or the Jade Emperor.

Upon hearing this, they felt only anger and resentment, saying: "That is simply unreasonable. Father and Mother loved each other sincerely; how did their being together get in his way? Hmph, once we have achieved success in our cultivation, we will definitely storm the Heavenly Court to avenge my father."

Yin Qi just shook his head and smiled, saying: "I have other matters to attend to and cannot take you with me, so you shall stay here. I have already left the Immortal Spirit in your Mobile Phones. If you have any questions, whether about daily life or cultivation, just ask her directly; she will teach you cultivation on my behalf."

"Ah, Master, you are leaving already."

Yang Jian and the three of them immediately showed reluctance.

Having just suffered a great upheaval, it was Yin Qi who saved them and accepted them as disciples; invisibly, they had already come to regard Yin Qi as their only reliance, so naturally, they were reluctant to part and also felt secretly panicked.

Yin Qi said: "There is no need for that; your cousin will come to see you often."

Yang Jiao asked curiously: "Master, according to what you said, my cousin should be a Princess of the Heavenly Court, so why would she be here?"

"Ask her that yourselves."

Yin Qi did not say more.

After giving a few more instructions, he stepped into the void.

Watching Yin Qi leave, Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Big Brother, Little Sister, where do you think this is, and why is everything we see completely different from Guanjiangkou? Also, will our cousin leak our whereabouts?"

Although he was only twelve years old, after the great upheaval, he seemed to have grown up all at once.

Yang Jiao said thoughtfully: "If our cousin wanted to harm us, she would not have asked Master to save us. As for where this is, we will know in the future. It is just a pity that we still do not know our teacher's name."

Yang Chan hurriedly raised her Mobile Phone: "Big Brother, Second Brother, didn't Master say we could ask the Immortal Spirit if we had any questions? Immortal Spirit, Immortal Spirit, what is my Master's name?"

The Mobile Phone screen lit up instantly, and the Immortal Spirit's voice came through: "Young Miss, your Master is named Yang Shen, the National Teacher of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty."

"Wow, this Mobile Phone can really answer us."

Yang Chan exclaimed, then asked: "Is this the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty? How far is it from my home? Also, what is my cousin's name?"

The Immortal Spirit replied: "By distance, Zhaoge is about fifty-eight light-years away from Guanjiangkou. Your cousin is named Princess Longji, and she resides at Qingluan Douque on Phoenix Mountain." "Fifty-eight light-years, how far is that?"

The three of them had absolutely no concept of it.

"Fifty-eight light-years is the distance light travels in fifty-eight years. Light travels six hundred thousand li per second; there are sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, twenty-four hours in a day, and three hundred and sixty-five days in a year."

"This, how far is that!"

Yang Jian and his two siblings were completely bewildered; they could not calculate it at all.

Yet they felt it had only taken the blink of an eye.

Imperial Palace.

Zichen Hall.

"Master, the official news from Xiqi has been released, stating that the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, has entered a state of seclusion as his cultivation is on the verge of a breakthrough, and he has appointed Ji Fa as the Heir Apparent to temporarily act as regent, assisted by Jiang Ziya."

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... ba....!

Having just returned to the Imperial Palace, Yin Qi heard the Immortal Spirit's voice ring out in his mind: "At the same time, Ji Fa gave a speech accusing the Great Shang of fooling the people of the world, claiming that the current Empress is someone else transformed into her likeness.

The Empress's life tablet at the Marquis Mansion had long since shattered.

Finally, Ji Fa issued a manifesto, enumerating the Master's ten great crimes, and called upon all the various feudal lords, as well as the ambitious people within the Great Shang, to unite to slay the tyrant and restore the Heaven and Earth."

Yin Qi just smiled indifferently; he had known about this for a long time.

Some of the ideas were even plotted by him, 'Jia Ren'; the reason for waiting until now to release the clarifying news was because Xiqi had spent these three days confirming who would inherit the position of Marquis of the West.

In the end, because Bo Yikao voluntarily withdrew, Ji Fa ascended to the position in one stroke.

Yin Qi asked: "How is the reaction online?"

Immortal Tomb replied: "The internet has already exploded. Regarding Ji Fa's speech, the common people within Xiqi and its affiliated Vassal States almost all believe it without doubt."

Within the territory of the Yin Shang and the vast majority of other Vassal States, however, they do not believe it at all.

But there are also over a hundred Vassal States where the common people are half-believing and half-doubting.

Some netizens are calling for the Empress to appear in person to prove that she is the real Empress."

"There is no need to pay attention to the talk on the internet."

Yin Qi shook his head.

This is a mythological world, and since DNA testing cannot be done, it is fundamentally impossible to prove.

Even if he provided any amount of proof, as long as Xiqi clings to the fact that Zhou Ji's life tablet has shattered, everyone in Xiqi will believe what Ji Fa said.

Even if some people are half-believing and half-doubting, they would not show it.

After decades of governance by Ji Chang and his son, Xiqi has long since won the hearts of the people and is unshakable.

Next, it will be time to see who is superior on the battlefield.

………

Night fell, and the sky was filled with stars.

Qingluan Palace.

Longji Gongzhu hurried up to meet him and asked: "Yin Lang, how did it go?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "Rest assured, Yang Daozhang has already brought them back to Zhaoge, they are at xxx, you can go see them tomorrow if you have time. By the way, they don't know your current identity yet."

"That's wonderful. Thank you, Yin Lang."

Longji Gongzhu was overjoyed, but then said sadly: "It's a pity for Aunt, being Suppressed at Taoshan, I don't know when she will be able to come out. Father... Father, sigh."

She did not know how to put it.

In her impression, Father treated Aunt extremely well, one could even say he doted on her, giving her whatever she wanted.

Yet Father is a proud man; of all the Dao Companions Aunt could have found, she had to choose a mortal, which undoubtedly stung Father's proud heart.

Although she feels Father went a bit too far, she can also understand him. (End of chapter)
