Chapter 419 Zhen Yuanzi

Wukong gained supernatural powers and showed off in front of his fellow disciples.

Yang Jian took the opportunity to drive the monkey out of the mountain gate and dismissed many of his fellow disciples in disguise. After all, he had to spend a lot of resources for every day they spent here.

After that, all of Wukong’s actions of entering the Dragon Palace to steal treasures and erasing the Book of Life and Death were under the control of Yang Jian.

Afterwards, under the arrangements of all parties, Wukong was finally summoned to the Heavenly Palace and given the official title of Bimawen.

Everything went extremely smoothly, so smoothly that Yang Jian felt a little uneasy.

Hongjun was not blind or deaf, he would definitely be able to discover Wukong, but he did not take any major action in the past few hundred years, as if he had accepted his fate.

But Yang Jian knew that Hongjun would never admit defeat. Once he gave in, the saints would certainly not give him a chance to live. The struggle for the Dao was always a fight to the death, and there was no other possibility.

He also didn’t know where his three corpses were hiding. He would always feel uneasy unless he found them.

On this day, Yang Jian had nothing to do, so he wandered around the Heavenly Palace. He met Taibai Star Lord on the way and chatted with him in the Qiming Palace.

When Taibai Xingjun was chatting, he mentioned that there was a guy who had become famous in the mortal world recently. He was very powerful, but he did some chivalrous things that ordinary mortals did, killing evil cultivators and demons in the ancient times. The Heavenly Court was secretly observing him and preparing to recruit him into the Heavenly Court.

Yang Jian was not interested in this at first, but suddenly he heard Taibai Star Lord say that he had found Zhen Yuanzi and wanted to overturn the ginseng fruit tree and destroy his Taoist temple.

“Zhen Yuanzi, how come this guy is classified as an evil demon?”

Yang Jian asked casually.

“Don’t you know, True Lord? Although the Cao Huan Dan has infinite uses, it comes at a high price. If it weren’t for the relationship between Zhen Yuanzi and Yuan Shi Tianzun, with Zhen Yuanzi’s arrogant temper and vicious methods, the Heavenly Court would have turned the Wuzhuang Temple where he is located into a scorched earth long ago. Now that there is a madman willing to cause trouble for him, we can just sit back and watch a good show. If he really overturns the Wuzhuang Temple, it will be a great thing that we will applaud.”

Taibai Star Lord Li Changgeng explained.

Yang Jian shook his head: “I have only heard of the name of the Earth Immortal Ancestor, but I have never dealt with him. However, he is only at the Earth Immortal level, and he claims to be the ancestor. It is indeed a bit arrogant. But where does this viciousness come from?”

He realized that Zhen Yuanzi would also be related to the journey to the west, but he did not make any arrangements for this person. He planned to inquire with Taibai Xingjun so that he could deal with him personally later.

If he doesn’t try to win over Zhen Yuanzi, someone else will naturally do so. If Hongjun tries to win him over, Zhen Yuanzi might ruin his plans, so he has to be on guard.

“I have seen him before. It was during the Queen Mother’s Peach Banquet last time. Zhen Yuanzi came uninvited and brought twenty fruits to offer to the Queen Mother. I was lucky enough to get one.”

Taibai Xingjun pondered, recalled and spoke, with a look of great power and evil on his face:

“That Cao Huan Dan is also known as the Ginseng Fruit. Its effect is similar to that of the peaches. It blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen. It takes at least ten thousand years to be eaten. The fruit looks like a baby that has just been born three days ago, with all its limbs and facial features intact. When the fruit is ripe, it cries like a baby. I still remember the feeling of holding the baby in my hands at the Peach Banquet that day. It was just like a real baby~”

“And then? Did you eat?”

Yang Jian asked.

Taibai Xingjun immediately retorted: “How is that possible? I can’t bear to eat it. I can only offer it to the Queen Mother and let her deal with it.”

“Is that all? This doesn’t seem like a vicious move.”

Yang Jian shook his head. “No, no~”

Taibai Xingjun shook his head repeatedly: “As the saying goes, like cures like. This ginseng fruit can extend one’s life for 47,000 years. It is made from 47,000 human lives. Zhen Yuanzi watered the ginseng fruit tree with his human life day and night, and only then did it produce human-like fruits. This is really a waste of this innate spiritual root. Originally, it was not a longevity fruit tree, but because of Zhen Yuanzi’s selfishness, it became like this~”

Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed and he asked, “Is that really the case?”

“If you don’t believe me, just go and overturn the ginseng fruit tree and see if there are bones piled up underneath. Then you will know. If I am lying, I will give up my whole life.”

Taibai Star Lord said.

Yang Jian listened, his expression changed: “Why do you want to tell me all this? Do you have a personal grudge with Zhen Yuanzi?”

He didn’t believe that Taibai Xingjun was just casually talking. It was too coincidental. Moreover, as the master of Qiming Palace, Taibai Xingjun was in a high position and had great power. He could just ask a few heavenly soldiers and generals to go to Wuzhuang Temple to investigate. If they could catch Zhen Yuanzi red-handed, they would definitely send Zhen Yuanzi to the Thunder Prison.

If he had heard this in disguise as Su Daji, he would probably have been unable to restrain himself and would have descended to the mortal world to capture Zhen Yuanzi.

After all, Su Daji had obtained the status of a deity, and she had been thinking about abusing her power all day long. Naturally, she would not let go of the opportunity she finally got.

What Taibai Xingjun didn’t know was that the Yang Jian in front of him was not the god of justice who had always worked with him, but the real Yang Jian himself.

With his celestial immortal realm cultivation, he naturally cannot tell the difference.

When Taibai Xingjun heard this, his expression darkened. He had thought that Yang Jian hated evil and was the god of justice in heaven, so he would definitely not be able to restrain himself and investigate this matter. However, he never expected that Yang Jian was so meticulous and actually noticed that he had ulterior motives.

He was a little panicked, and used the excuse of pouring tea to cover up his thoughts: “Master, please have some tea~”

Yang Jian looked at Taibai Star Lord with great interest.

Under the pressure-filled gaze, Taibai Xingjun spilled the tea without seeming to notice it.

“The tea is spilling.”

Yang Jian reminded.

Taibai Xingjun just reacted, and hurriedly steamed the scattered tea dry, stammering: “Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian does have some grudges with him. Last time at the Peach Banquet, I didn’t dare to eat the Cao Huandan, and Zhen Yuanzi actually ridiculed me~”

After saying that, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Taibai Star Lord held the tea, but he didn’t know whether to drink it or put it down.

He knew that if he offended Yang Jian, given his behavior in the Heavenly Palace over the past thousand years, he would definitely be in trouble. Even if he was a close minister of Haotian, he would not be able to escape.

Speaking of it, Yang Jian was not like this before the Conferred God Ceremony. Who would have thought that after the Conferred God Ceremony was completed, Yang Jian, who was in a high position, became as petty as a woman.

The long silence made Taibai Xingjun feel a little tortured. Seeing that Yang Jian did not reply, he continued, “True Lord, just treat it as something I just said casually. After all, Zhen Yuanzi’s background cannot be underestimated. Even the Emperor of Heaven Haotian is unwilling to force a move on him without sufficient evidence~”

Yang Jian smiled and said, “Brother Duobao will hold a Yulan Festival soon. I will send a message to Brother Duobao to invite Zhen Yuanzi over as well. Since Wuzhuang Temple is empty, I will take this opportunity to investigate Zhen Yuanzi’s background.”
