Chapter 866: The Mysterious Brother-in-Law

"I have decided to join the army!"

Yang Jian's voice was resonant and powerful, and his gaze was incomparably firm.

Yang Jiao and Yang Chan were both struck with terror.

Aside from their usual cultivation, they also kept track of news in the Honghuang and the Yin-Shang, knowing that they were currently in the midst of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity; everywhere outside was already a bloodbath, and the decisive battle between the Yin-Shang and Xiqi would erupt sooner or later.

Joining the army now was extremely dangerous.

They had watched the live broadcast of the battle at Sishui Pass; those overwhelming, destructive spells meant that even an Earth Immortal would die and vanish if they were the least bit careless, and a Heavenly Immortal could only barely manage to protect themselves.

Yang Jiao hurriedly said, "I do not agree. Second Brother, you are not unaware that we are currently in the midst of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, and the decisive battle between the Yin-Shang and Xiqi will likely not take long to arrive. With your cultivation level, joining the army now is likely a ten-to-one chance of survival."

Yang Chan also hurriedly persuaded him, "That's right, Second Brother. You have already cultivated to become an immortal, and with Cousin's help, we can just cultivate a bit more slowly; why must you put yourself in danger?"

Yang Jian shook his head firmly and said in a deep voice, "Big Brother, Little Sister, cultivating to become an immortal is inherently going against Heaven, and it allows for not the slightest bit of slack. If I were merely seeking longevity, there would naturally be no need to be so urgent.

But do not forget, we still need to rescue Mother, and we still need to avenge Master.

Our enemies are Guangchengzi and Haotian.

One of them is a Golden Immortal, and the other is a Quasi-Saint.

If we do not have the heart to risk our lives, if we do not have a fearless heart.

Even if we cultivate for another million years, ten million years, or even a hundred million years, it will be impossible for me to defeat them."

Yang Jiao and Yang Chan both fell silent.

They were no longer the ignorant mortals they once were; they knew how difficult it was to cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm. Among the countless cultivators in the Honghuang, how many could ultimately reach the Golden Immortal realm?

Not to mention the Quasi-Saint realm.

Counting from the beginning of the opening of Heaven, the number of Quasi-Saints could be counted on one's fingers.

Yang Jiao's expression was heavy as he said, "Second Brother, since that is the case, then I shall join the army with you. You have a fearless heart, and as your older brother, how could I hide behind you?

As for Little Sister.

With Cousin there to look after her, we can rest easy.

Do not object.

Unless you give up on joining the army."

Seeing that Yang Jian was about to object, his expression was exceptionally serious, allowing no room for rebuttal.

Yang Jian looked at his firm-willed older brother and knew he could not persuade him, so he nodded heavily and said, "Fine. Since that is the case, then we two brothers shall join the army. In these chaotic times, it is actually more suitable for our growth and for us to display our abilities."

"Big Brother, Second Brother."

Yang Chan was on the verge of tears.

Just then, a clear and beautiful voice drifted into the room from outside: "What is going on, Little Chan?"

The three siblings turned their heads and saw Longji Gongzhu had already appeared at the door.

"Cousin."

Yang Chan hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Please, quickly persuade Big Brother and Second Brother; they want to join the army."

Longji Gongzhu frowned slightly, looked at the two brothers Yang Jiao and Yang Jian, and said, "Tell me, what are you thinking? Hmm, not bad, Yang Jian, you have cultivated to become an immortal; you did not let down my expectations."

"Cousin, it is like this..."

Yang Jian repeated his thoughts, though he did not mention looking for trouble with Haotian.

Although Haotian had sent people to kill his father, Cousin Longji Gongzhu had treated them very well, and it was at Cousin's request that Master had gone to save them and taken them as disciples.

Over these past four years, Cousin had also often come to visit them, and every time, she would bring all sorts of gifts.

These gifts, if placed outside, would all be priceless treasures.

For example, a type of tea leaf that allowed one to enter a state of enlightenment after drinking it; he vaguely guessed that this was a type of Innate Spiritual Tea, which even the Sages might not necessarily be able to drink. That he could cultivate to become an immortal within four years was largely due to this Innate Spiritual Tea.

Longji Gongzhu nodded lightly and said with praise, "Yang Jian, it is very good that you have this awareness and courage; your future achievements will certainly not be low.

Although there are various shortcuts in cultivation, if you want to go further, there is no way but bitter practice.

I had originally intended to give these to you later, but since you are joining the army, I will simply give them to you now."

As she spoke, she waved her long sleeves, and three items hovered in front of each of the three siblings, all emitting a daunting aura, with Immortal Light swirling upon them and Dao rhymes hidden within.

In front of Yang Jiao was a purple divine spear flickering with lightning, a suit of dark gold divine armor, and a crimson divine sword.

In front of Yang Jian was a silver-white long halberd, a suit of red gold divine armor, and a dark black divine bow.

As for Yang Chan, there was a seven-colored celestial garment, a dark gold nine-story pagoda, and a bronze-colored lotus lamp.

The eyes of the three siblings widened.

Although Longji Gongzhu had not yet introduced them, they could already feel the pressure coming from these Spirit Treasures; it seemed that if their auras fluctuated even slightly, they would be shaken into fly ash.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... the book...!

Longji Gongzhu said, "These nine items are all Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures, a gift for your first meeting from your brother-in-law. I had intended to give them to you back then, but considering you had not yet cultivated, I did not give them to you."

The Immortal Court ship had long since evolved to the Quasi-Saint level; producing Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures was not a difficult matter.

"Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures... hiss... Cousin, this is too precious; we cannot accept them."

The three siblings shook their heads repeatedly.

They had guessed that these nine Dharma Treasures were extraordinary, but they had not expected them to be Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures.

Such Spirit Treasures, let alone Golden Immortals, were not necessarily possessed even by Great Luo Golden Immortals.

They required at least the peak of the Great Luo realm to be capable of Refining.

Longji Gongzhu smiled slightly and said, "They are merely a few Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures; to your brother-in-law, they count for nothing. However, do not flaunt your wealth; you must not use them lightly.

Later, I will transfer some Immortal Crystals to you; since you are joining the army, you should also purchase a set of armor and weapons, and buy more Pills and Talismans.

These are three Protective Jade Talismans refined by your brother-in-law; each Protective Jade Talisman can withstand three strikes from a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and each time it is attacked, it will randomly teleport you hundreds of millions of miles away."

As she spoke, she gave each of the three, Yang Jian included, a Protective Jade Talisman.

The three of them stood there foolishly, having accepted them.

Their eyes widened, and only one thought remained in their minds: "Who exactly is this mysterious brother-in-law?"

According to public information, their cousin Longji Gongzhu should be cultivating at Phoenix Mountain, but judging by how she often visits them and even takes them out to play, she is clearly residing in Zhaoge.

It is just that their cousin has never said where she actually lives here.

This brother-in-law is also someone they have learned of for the first time.

Not only did he casually give away nine Superior Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasures, but he can even refine a Protective Jade Talisman capable of withstanding three strikes from a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Does this not mean that their brother-in-law is at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal?

Thinking of this, they were filled with shock.

This is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, after all.

They could not even help but recall that, since both involved longing for the mortal world, why did their mother find a mortal, while the brother-in-law their cousin found is a Great Luo Golden Immortal; the gap is simply too large.

Yang Chan could not help but ask out of curiosity: "Cousin, who is our brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, although Longji Gongzhu tried her best to restrain herself, the corners of her mouth still could not help but curl up: "Your brother-in-law, he is the Greatest Hero of the Primordial World, and also an incomparably magnificent hero.

As for who exactly he is, I cannot tell you yet.

Once the Investiture of the Gods Calamity ends, you will naturally know." (End of this chapter)
