256: Chapter 255: Fearless!

This man had a face as smooth as jade, a vertical eye between his brows, a Three-pointed Two-bladed Saber floating next to him in the void, and his occasional burst of golden light distorted the Sumeru Space.

This man was none other than Yang Jian, the greatest War God of the Three Realms.

“Second Master.”

The void was chaotic, ripples spreading, and Yuan Hong, the oldest of the Meishan Seven Monsters, with a voice as loud as a bell, slowly made Yang Jian open his eyes.

“What matter is so urgent?” Yang Jian asked in a solemn voice.

“Second Master, look!”

Without further ado, Yuan Hong threw out a green Jade Scroll that displayed an image of Ye Xuan leaving the Guanghan Palace.

The sight instantly took Yang Jian’s breath away and darkened his expression.

“What a thief, to dare sneak into the Guanghan Palace?”

A fierce light shone from Yang Jian’s eyes, a deadly aura drifting out, shaking the entire Sumeru Space like it was about to collapse.

“Who is this Daoist, not knowing that the Moon Palace is a forbidden area of the Three Realms?” Yang Jian, straining to control his own aura, asked, his voice growing colder.

“Second Master, I’ve investigated thoroughly.

This Daoist’s name is Ye Xuan.

Because he was instrumental in vanquishing Yuan Mo, the Jade Emperor titled him ‘Demon-quelling Zhansheng True Monarch,'” Yuan Hong reported truthfully.

“Demon-quelling Zhansheng True Monarch?” Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, a tone of slight contempt in his voice.

“My uncle truly is interesting.

Apart from the ‘Demon-quelling’ part, his title is actually the same as mine.

Could this Ye Xuan also be a Luotian Golden Immortal?” Yang Jian spoke coldly.

Looking at Yang Jian’s cold features, Yuan Hong spoke softly, “Big Brother, this Daoist is merely a Taiyin Mystic Immortal.

He might be significant in the Heavenly Court, but before you, Second Master, what is he really?

Just that…”

“Just what?” Yang Jian’s eyes sharpened.

“Second Master might not be aware, but beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, a jade Token was handed down, appointing Ye Xuan as a Heavenly God of the Yuxu Sect.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing Yuan Hong’s words, Yang Jian’s eyes sharpened.

He might disregard the Jade Emperor’s appointment, but the Yuxu Token represented the will of Yuanshi Tianzun, something he needed to take seriously.

After pondering for a long while, a smirk appeared on Yang Jian’s lips.

“Even if he is connected to my Chan Sect, if we don’t teach this Daoist a lesson, others might follow his example,” Yang Jian huffed.

Proud and unyielding as the preeminent War God of the Three Realms, even with the Yuxu Token, to Yang Jian, it was nothing serious.

As long as he did not kill Ye Xuan, even Yuanshi Tianzun couldn’t blame him.

After all, in the Three Realms, no Saint should intervene in mortal affairs, a rule set after the Deification Wars.

This world particularly revered Daluo Golden Immortals, and Yang Jian was about to step into that realm; in these Three Realms, he truly feared no one.

“Saber, come!”

Yang Jian commanded sharply, Luotian Immortal Light rippling in all directions, breaking the Sumeru Space.

With a step, he appeared above the Guan River Mouth.

On that day, the skies changed, and the Guan River Mouth stirred tumultuously as Yang Jian, the foremost War God of the Three Realms, holding the Three-pointed Two-bladed Saber and wearing shining Locking Armor, ascended straight into the Thirty-Three Heavens.

…

Heavenly Court, Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Group of Immortals was stunned into silence, knowing that the War God of the Three Realms was approaching Heaven, joined by the Four Great Heavenly Kings and Li Jing with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to greet Yang Jian.

Yang Jian, from the Yuxu Sect, a prominent third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, bore the title of Zhansheng True Monarch.

His Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill could stir heaven and earth, and his Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations Divine Skills were inscrutable.

His single Heavenly Eye could see through Heaven, Earth, and the Three Realms; his might was unmatched.

Golden Lotus descended from heaven, sweet springs surged from the earth.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Sound played as the Group of Immortals bowed and stood aside, clearly demonstrating Yang Jian’s extraordinary status in the Heavenly Court.

Yang Jian entered the Heavenly Court, passed the South Heavenly Gate, without stopping or intending to converse with the Group of Immortals.

He walked straight into the Palace of the Polestar, the Group of Immortals quickly following behind.

Palace of the Polestar!

An atmosphere filled with auspicious energy and countless streams of rosy light, with the Jade Emperor seated regally above in his Emperor’s robe, islands of Immortals standing in ranks below accompanying him.

Without waiting for the Immortal Official to summon Yang Jian into the palace, they saw Yang Jian, holding a three-pointed two-bladed saber, enter directly into the heart of the Palace of the Polestar, his body radiating Luotian Immortal Light, which shocked the gathered Immortals.

“Yang Jian, you were meant to be cultivating your mind and character at Guan River Mouth, what brings you up to Heaven today?” the Jade Emperor asked with majestic voice, knowingly feigning ignorance.

Regarding the Jade Emperor’s pretense, Yang Jian had a cold expression and did not respond.

Instead, he scanned the assembly of Immortals and said in a calm, chilling voice, “I heard that the Demon-slaying Saint of true virtue in the Heavenly Court has immeasurable cultivation.

I have long been aware of his renown and today, I came to seek instruction from him to test my millennia of cultivation.”

Concerning Yang Jian’s statement, the Immortals couldn’t believe it; everyone knew Yang Jian had come because Ye Xuan had infiltrated Immortal Palace of Guanghan.

As for the so-called seeking instruction, it was likely a pretext to teach Ye Xuan a lesson.

“Junior brother, you are a Luotian Golden Immortal, while Ye Xuan is merely a Taiyin Mystic Immortal.

How could he be your match?

Perhaps it is best to let this matter rest, how about it?” Heavenly Venerate Changsheng ventured to say.

“Senior brother Changsheng, although we are not from the same master, we share a bond of the same sect.

The Demon-slaying Saint of true virtue is the reincarnation of a Daluo Golden Immortal, precisely a good opportunity to test my junior brother’s cultivation.

I hope senior brother will not dissuade me.”

Yang Jian’s voice was chilling yet determined, effectively warning Heavenly Venerate Changsheng that if he continued to speak for Ye Xuan, Yang Jian would not easily forgive or forget.

“Announce, let Ye Xuan enter the Palace of the Polestar.”

The Jade Emperor spoke with authority, but a cold light flickered in his eyes.

His strategy of using others to eliminate his foes was about to bear fruit.

…

Taiyin Star, Palace of Guanghan!

Guanghan Fairy held a jade rabbit, standing under the Heaven-reaching Osmanthus Tree.

Her eyes twinkled like stars, gazing towards the Palace of the Polestar.

When she saw Yang Jian standing in the palace, her cool voice slowly spoke.

“Yunian, although Ye Xuan saved your life, he also spied on my celestial body.

It is fitting for him to face this karma.”

“Master, please save his life.”

The jade rabbit pleaded, not out of pity for Ye Xuan, but because if Ye Xuan died, she would not survive either, since her Primordial Spirit was still bound by Ye Xuan’s Blood Covenant.

The Guanghan Fairy’s gaze was detached, and she slowly nodded, “It is well.

Saving his life today is also a way to repay your debt to him.”

“Thank you, Master, for fulfilling this wish.”

On that day, the Taiyin Star shone brightly, the Heaven-reaching Osmanthus Tree swayed, and a Moonlight Sky Bridge that had not been trodden for ten thousand years extended from Palace of Guanghan toward the Palace of the Polestar in Heaven.

…

Palace of Chaos and Clouds!

An Immortal Official arrived with a directive from the Jade Emperor, summoning him to the Palace of the Polestar.

After Ye Xuan saw off the Immortal Official, he stood alone in the Palace of Chaos and Clouds, his expression indifferent, silent, as his eyes flickered violently with blood light.

Buzz!

The light shimmered from between Ye Xuan’s brows, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd rippling forth, radiating an unprecedented fierce aura.

“We share one heart and one body, today’s battle is a battle of my dignity.

Even though Yang Jian is a Luotian Golden Immortal, I want these assembly of Immortals to see that I, Ye Xuan, am not one to be trifled with.”

Ye Xuan’s voice was harsh.

He did not run, nor could he run, as this was a battle concerning his dignity.

If he fled, he would become a laughingstock throughout the Three Realms, and it would also make that self-righteous Guanghan Fairy scoff at him.

Now, Ye Xuan’s only hope lay in the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, for according to the records in the Undying Immortal Scripture, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd was the most formidable weapon of slaughter from ancient times, containing incredible power.

What was most important was that even during his battle against Primordial Spirit, Ye Xuan had never used the Heavenly Punishment Halberd.

He also wanted to test whether, as a Taiyin Mystic Immortal wielding the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, he could transcend three major realms and fight against Three Realms War God Yang Jian.

This was not just a battle for dignity but also a method for Ye Xuan to gauge his own combat power, which would affect his plans moving forward.

Rumble!

Pushing open the grand doors of the Palace of Chaos and Clouds, under the watchful eyes of the three thousand Heavenly River Water Army, Ye Xuan rode a dark cloud, undeterred, surging toward the Palace of the Polestar.
