Chapter 126: Mutation
This is different from when he was young, when he only felt resentment towards the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in Heaven because his family was broken up.
After so many years, Yang Jian has had a clearer and more objective understanding of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother are not heartless people, but the premise is that you cannot offend their reputation and interests as well as those of the Heavenly Court!
Especially, we must not touch upon the matter of gods’ desire to become mortals!
Back then, Princess Longji was demoted to Qingluan Douque on Phoenix Mountain by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother just because she said a few words in defense of the immortals' desire to become mortals at the Peach Banquet.
When the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods occurred, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother ordered Princess Longji to go down to the mortal world to experience the catastrophe. They also asked Yue Lao to force her to marry her defeated general, Hong Jin, a disciple of the Jiejiao Sect. Then they sent them into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and watched them die before being included in the Conferred Gods.
They treated their own daughter like this, so Yang Jian didn't believe they would show mercy to their own sister.
He was more inclined to believe that it was his master, Jade Ding Zhenren, who rescued his mother, and because he had to take into account the dignity of the Heavenly Court, he announced to the public that his mother was melted by the sun, but in fact she was imprisoned here.
At this moment, Yao Ji seemed to sense something. She suddenly stopped weaving and looked around.
There was a bit of confusion on her face, as if she was looking for something, or just in a trance.
Finally, her gaze stopped on the butterfly that Yang Jian transformed into.
The sunlight shines through the window and onto the butterfly, forming a faint halo.
Yao Ji looked a little dazed.
In a daze, she seemed to see a handsome child with a golden pattern on his forehead smiling at her, and he couldn't help shouting, "Jian'er!"
After shouting, Yao Ji suddenly came back to her senses with a bitter smile on her face: "What am I thinking about! How could Jian'er appear here! Moreover, after so many years, if Jian'er is still alive, he should have become an immortal and would no longer be the child he used to be!"
Yang Jian was shocked when he heard this, and no longer cared about why Yao Ji was here.
No matter what, his mother is alive is the best news for him!
Yang Jian immediately used a magic trick to cover the house, so that people outside would see Yao Ji sitting by the window weaving. Then she revealed her true identity and shouted, "Mother!"
Yang Jian has always been a man who never shows his emotions and is very cunning, but at this moment, his eyes are red and there are faint tears gleaming in his eyes.
He had been fantasizing about this scene for who knows how many years, but he never thought that the day would come true!
"ah!!!"
Yao Ji was startled. Before she could ask who the newcomer was, Yang Jian had already opened his third eye on his forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, I am Yang Jian!"
Yao Ji stared at Yang Jian in front of her, her heart beating wildly.
The call from her blood made her quickly merge the handsome man in front of her with the baby-voiced son in her memory.
Yao Ji couldn't stop her tears from falling from her eyes. She said in disbelief, "You...you are Jian'er? My Jian'er?"
Yang Jian nodded vigorously.
Yao Ji's face was filled with joy before it was replaced by panic. She asked anxiously, "Why are you here? Did Haotian capture you? How could he be so cruel! After so many years, he still won't let you go!"
Yang Jian quickly explained: "Mother, I was not captured by the Jade Emperor. I sneaked in on my own."
Yao Ji panicked when she heard this and urged, "Jian'er, hurry up! This place may seem peaceful, but there are actually many jailers hiding here secretly guarding me! Hurry up, or it will be too late!"
"Mom, don't worry, I've already tricked them!"
Yang Jian looked at Yao Ji's frightened and anxious appearance, feeling distressed and blaming himself.
If he had discovered the secret deep in the sky prison earlier, his mother would not have been locked up here for so long!
"Really?" Yao Ji's expression eased a little after hearing that, but she was still a little worried. She said, "The people guarding me are quite skilled. Can your trick really fool them?"
“Yes!” Seeing that Yao Ji was still a little nervous, Yang Jian had an idea and began to use all his magic power.
Buzz!
In an instant, Yang Jian's body burst into endless rays of light, so bright and dazzling that his entire body looked like it was made of colored glaze.
The energies of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth rise from the internal organs, gather in the spiritual platform, and transform into thousands of purple auras that rise up.
In the purple air, three crystal clear lotus flowers were looming and slowly blooming.
"The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to Origin?!" Yao Ji screamed.
Yang Jian nodded and said, "Mother, I have already achieved the Great Luo Dao Fruit two hundred years ago. Let alone those demons and monsters outside, even if the Jade Emperor finds me here, it doesn't matter! I am not afraid of him now!"
"Good! Good!" Yao Ji cried with joy: "Jian'er, it's great that you can make it this far! By the way, what about Chan'er? How is she now?"
Yang Jian said: "My third sister is now the Third Holy Mother of Huashan, and she is also a local immortal. She handles the affairs around Huashan very well and is very loved by the people."
"That's good! That's good!" Yao Ji was even happier when she heard that her little daughter could actually do things so evilly.
"Mom, how did you...how did you survive?" Yang Jian asked.
"I don't know either." Yao Ji was also a little uncertain and said, "Maybe it's Haotian..."
She didn't want to talk more about this topic and asked about Yang Jian's experiences over the years.
The last time Yang Jian and Yao Ji met was during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, at the foot of Peach Mountain.
It has been tens of thousands of years since now.
So many things have happened in these years that it is impossible to explain them all in such a short time, so Yang Jian just talked about the important ones.
"At that time, I thought that my mother was melted by the ten suns summoned by Haotian, so I went to heaven to fight. However, because I had consumed too much magic power and physical strength before, I was seriously injured and unconscious when I was besieged by the heavenly soldiers and generals. "
"When I woke up again, I was already back in the Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain. It was my master, Jade Ding Zhenren, who saved me."
"The child realized that his strength was too weak, and he has been wandering around the wilderness ever since, honing his martial arts and improving his cultivation, until the Conferred God Tribulation began..."
Yang Jian did not talk about his dejected, self-blaming and despair, he just briefly talked about the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods.
Yao Ji was stunned and her face was full of disbelief.
She could never imagine that the Xuanmen sect, which was once known as "red lotus, white lotus root, and green lotus leaf, the three religions were originally one family", would one day tear each other apart and fight each other.
What's even more unexpected is that the Jiejiao sect, which was known as "the sect with ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage" and dominated the entire prehistoric continent, was almost completely wiped out in just a few years, and even its saint was imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace.
"After the war between Shang and Zhou ended, Master Jiang Ziya conferred titles on the Conferred God Platform. I don't want to go to heaven to become a god..."
When he said this, Yang Jian was suddenly speechless.
But he thought about the fact that he was now serving as the God of Justice in Heaven.
His purpose in becoming the God of Justice was to modify the laws of Heaven, but to others this sounded like a fantasy, more like a quibble.
In the eyes of many people, what he has done over the years is greed for power and taking the enemy as his father.
He was especially terrified when he thought about how he had done a lot for the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother over the years and dealt with many gods who had tempted others.
Because of this, the immortals in the three realms often gossiped about him behind his back, calling him a running dog of Heaven, forgetting that they were also the bastards in the eyes of the Queen Mother.
Yang Jian has a strong character and doesn't care what others think of him.
But, he couldn't ignore his mother's opinion of him.
Yao Ji didn't know this. Seeing Yang Jian didn't say anything, she thought something bad had happened and asked worriedly, "Then what?"
Yang Jian said: "Then I returned to Guanjiangkou and served as a terrestrial immortal until..."
After hesitating for a while, he told the truth: "Until three hundred years ago, the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Jinxing to Guanjiangkou and summoned me to heaven to serve as the God of Justice."
"Ah?!" Yao Ji was shocked and a little bit unbelievable: "Haotian asked you to be the God of Justice?"
Yang Jian nodded and briefly recounted how the monkey caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace, which destroyed the dignity of the Heavenly Palace, caused demons to run rampant in the Three Realms, and how the 365 righteous gods of the disciples of Chan and Jie on the List of Gods were just doing a perfunctory job.
"The Jade Emperor wants to use my reputation of capturing Sun Wukong alive to intimidate those monsters that are causing chaos in the mortal world."
Yao Ji asked: "Did you respond to the call?"
"Yes. I am still the god of justice in heaven." Yang Jian didn't dare to look at Yao Ji.
Yao Ji did not scold or blame him, nor did she pretend to be magnanimous. Instead, she looked at Yang Jian seriously and asked, "Jian'er, don't you have anything to say to me?"
She chose to let Yang Jian give her an explanation.
"Yes!" Yang Jian nodded vigorously.
In front of Yao Ji, he was no longer the god of justice whose cruel methods frightened all beings in the three realms. He no longer restrained and hid his emotions, but showed his truest and most honest side.
"I became the God of Justice not because I was greedy for power. I have been a terrestrial immortal in Guanjiangkou for nearly ten thousand years. I have come into contact with all kinds of people, gods, ghosts, and monsters, and I have also dealt with all kinds of strange things."
"My biggest feeling is that everything in the world is constantly changing. The laws that are suitable today may not be suitable tomorrow, but no matter how inappropriate the laws are, they are better than no laws at all."
"The laws and rules of Heaven have remained unchanged since the establishment of Heaven. They are no longer suitable for handling current affairs. They are unreasonable and have many problems. I want to go to Heaven and change these laws and rules, so that... so that no one will suffer the same pain as my father and mother in the future."
Yang Jian finished speaking in one breath, lowering his eyebrows and eyes. He was so nervous that his hands were clenched into a ball in his sleeves, as if he was waiting for a verdict.
Time passes very slowly at this moment.
until--
"Jian'er has really grown up! I'm proud of you for having such an idea!"
Yang Jian suddenly raised his head, and he seemed to come back to life, with his eyes glowing.
He only mentioned his intention to revise the Heavenly Law to Nezha.
However, Nezha’s character does not care about right or wrong. Since it is what his good brother wants to do, he will support it without hesitation.
He mentioned this matter to Yao Ji today to explain why he was the God of Justice, and he also wanted to gain support from Yao Ji.
He never expected that Yao Ji not only supported him, but also gave him such a high evaluation!
Yao Ji said: "Since you have chosen your own path, you must walk on it firmly. Mother will always support you."
Although Yao Ji was only a Golden Immortal, as Haotian's biological sister, she had been to Zixiao Palace and met Hongjun Daozu, so she did have some knowledge.
Anyone who can attain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit must have his own beliefs in his heart and practice his own path!
The fact that Yang Jian was able to cultivate to the realm of Daluo Jinxian and achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and Five Qis Returning to the Origin in just tens of thousands of years must be related to the Tao he practiced!
Yao Ji had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for so many years and had never been exposed to anything outside. She actually didn’t quite understand what Yang Jian said!
But, she knew that at this time, she must not hold her son back!
As long as her son will have a better future, go to heaven to be the god of justice, and serve Haotian as a subject, she can accept it!
After so many years, the hatred at the beginning has faded a lot.
In other words, she knew from the beginning that she had violated the laws of heaven and deserved the punishment, and she was willing to go to heaven and accept punishment.
She only rebelled because the Jade Emperor wanted not only to punish her but also to kill her husband and children.
The mother and son chatted for a few more sentences.
Yang Jian said, "Mother, let's go out. I'll take you to Huashan to see my third sister."
Although if he rescued Yao Ji at this time, it might implicate Li Anran who was responsible for dragging the Snake General outside.
However, he really couldn't bear to leave his mother alone in this deserted little world where only the jailer was watching over her.
"Brother Li, I'm sorry!" Yang Jian apologized to Li Anran in his heart and could only make it up to Li Anran in other ways in the future.
Yao Ji was a little worried and said, "Jian'er, you said before that you sneaked in. Will it affect your justice god?"
"Mom, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Yang Jian said: "Now is a special time when a catastrophe is about to come. Not to mention that the Jade Emperor doesn't know that I rescued you, even if he knew, he would never trouble me for such a thing."
Yang Jian still has one more thing to say——
If the Jade Emperor is determined to cause trouble for him, then he will learn from the Monkey King and directly rebel against the Heaven and raise the flag of being a demon!
He wanted to see who the Heavenly Court could send down to earth to subdue him!
Yao Ji advised Yang Jian verbally, but deep down she also wanted to see her daughter whom she hadn't seen for so many years.
Hearing Yang Jian say this, Yao Ji no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "Okay. Let's go. Mother will listen to you."
Yang Jian immediately made a hand gesture and used his magical power to hold the world in his palm to take Yao Ji into his palm. Then he used the invisibility spell and flew to where he came from.
Yang Jian had mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts very well. The invisibility technique he displayed was completely undetectable by the jailers outside who were responsible for guarding Yao Ji.
We arrived at the entrance of the Small Thousand Worlds smoothly.
Yang Jian leaped forward and jumped out.
But, at this moment, something strange happened.
Boom!
The entire small world began to tremble violently, the sky and the earth shook, and dark clouds gathered, as if the end of the world was coming.
not good!
Yang Jian's expression changed drastically.
He didn't expect that the core of this small world actually lies in Yao Ji!
If Yao Ji leaves this small world, this small world will collapse immediately!
With such a big commotion, I’m afraid the entire heaven can notice it instantly!
