Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe quickly said, "Master, it's all because of your good teaching."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said with a slightly worried tone: "Zilong, it is not wise for you to offend the Taoist Zhunti now. Buddhism will flourish and a great catastrophe will occur. From now on, you should stay in Yuxu Palace honestly and leave after three thousand years."

Zhao Shanhe knew that Yuanshi Tianzun was doing this for his own good, but he couldn’t wait even for three years, let alone three thousand years. Even if he could wait, could his parents and sister wait?

"Master, you also know that I am a body of merit. To make further progress, I need a huge amount of merit. If I stay in Yuxu Palace, wouldn't three thousand years be wasted? As the saying goes, prosperous times produce capable ministers, and troubled times create heroes. The great catastrophe is approaching, and it is a good time to harvest merit. Your disciple will not die so easily."

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone has his own way. I will send you down the mountain now."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shanhe felt the scenery before him suddenly change. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already returned to his home in Luoyi City. His speed was truly astonishing, worthy of the methods of a saint. If he had delivered it by courier, he would have made a killing. He felt a little regretful that he hadn't had time to plunder the vast Yuxu Palace yet. He could only think about it next time.

When Yang Hui came out of seclusion, he found his son missing. The maid who was looking after him was completely clueless. Fortunately, Yang Nianhe came back in time, otherwise the maid would have been in great trouble.

"Nianhe, where have you been?"

Yang Nianhe replied, "Mother, I feel bored so I'll go out for a walk. Can you please not punish Sister Xiangcai? I have good news for you. I have become a disciple of Yuxu Palace."

Upon hearing this, Yang Hui said to the maid, "Go away. If you do this again, I will not let you off lightly. Nianhe, whose disciple did you become, Guangchengzi or Jade Ding Zhenren?"

Yang Nianhe said proudly, "Mother, the master I worship is even more famous. He is Zhao Zilong, the deputy headmaster of Yuxu Palace."

When Yang Hui heard it was Zhao Zilong, his head buzzed and he asked loudly, "Nianhe, Yuanshi Tianzun's new disciple is not even an immortal, how could he be the deputy headmaster? Did he deceive you, or did you deliberately deceive me? What can he teach you?"

Yang Nianhe quickly explained, "Mother, my master is really the deputy headmaster. He went down the mountain for something and couldn't teach me in person. My master passed on the Yuxu Heart Method to me, and he was afraid that you would worry, so he sent me back."

Yang Hui's brows gradually relaxed when she heard her son say this. Yuanshi Tianzun personally taught the Dharma, it seemed that Zhao Zilong was still quite important. She then asked, "Nianhe, can you explain the situation in more detail?"

So Yang Nianhe told his mother everything about his encounter with Zhao Zilong.

After hearing this, Yang Hui couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She said with regret: "Nianhe, you should have worshipped Zhunti Saint as your teacher."

Yang Nianhe shook his head and answered seriously, "Mother, I feel that Saint Zhunti doesn't seem to want to accept me as his disciple, but my master is truly kind to me."

"Perhaps you are right. Go down and practice."

"Mother, I'm going to practice now." Yang Nianhe nodded obediently, then turned and left.

Yang Hui was filled with sorrow as she watched her son's departing back. She knew very well the nature of the Emperor of Heaven and knew that he would take action against Yang Nianhe sooner or later. Unfortunately, her son was not worshipping a saint, but the saint's most useless disciple, who could not actually help her. Her words just now were just to comfort her son.

How could such a huge event happen in Yaochi County without the Emperor of Heaven knowing? Upon receiving the news from his subordinates, he felt extremely bitter and angry, wanting to curse his mother. He muttered to himself, "Wanjin, the affection I have for you for tens of thousands of years is worth less than that of a mortal. None of the Zhao people are good. I will remember this grudge. General Juanlian, go and call Yue Lao."

Seeing the unfriendly look on the Emperor's face, Yue Lao felt a wave of panic, wondering if he had made any mistakes recently. Perhaps he had tied the wrong red thread again? He knelt on the ground trembling with fear and said nervously, "Little God, I pay my respects to the Emperor."

The Emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. He said coldly, "Please stand up. Is the God of Mount Hua looking for a partner?"

Yue Lao heaved a sigh of relief at this question, but at the same time, he felt a little puzzled. He hesitated for a moment, then replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, fifty years from now, she will be married to a mortal named Liu Yanchang."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's expression darkened. His eyes widened in anger, and he spoke in a deep voice, "How can a pheasant be paired with a phoenix? This Huashan Mountain Goddess is my niece. How could she marry a mere mortal? This is absurd! I believe that only Zhao Zilong, Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple, is worthy of my niece."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lao secretly groaned inwardly. He knew full well that matters of marriage could not be tampered with at will, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. So, he mustered up the courage to speak to the Emperor of Heaven, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! Marriage is determined by heaven, and arbitrarily changing it would cause chaos. The order of Heaven would be severely affected. Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"

These words completely enraged the Emperor of Heaven. He slammed the table, stood up, and roared, "Marriage is predetermined? Humph, that's easy to say! Didn't the Queen of Heaven's marriage change anyway? A saint can change it, but I can't. You're all traitors. You decide for yourself what to do."

Yue Lao felt extremely bitter. This was truly a fight between gods, and the mortals suffered. Who dared to say anything when an imperial decree was issued? It was just an attempt to pass the buck. This black pot was indeed quite heavy. Both Yuxu Palace and Wahuang Palace were not to be trifled with.

Yang Jian and his sister, along with the Emperor of Heaven, were at loggerheads. It was Yang Jian who first reported that the Empress of Heaven had an affair with a mortal and had given birth to a child. The feud between these uncle and nephew dates back thousands of years.

Zhao Shanhe is the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and Yang Chan is the registered disciple of Nuwa Niangniang. The two disciples are well-matched and a match made in heaven.

Is the Emperor of Heaven really that kind-hearted? In fact, the two saints were at loggerheads over the Conferred Gods Battle. Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple Jiang Ziya ignored the advice and insisted on executing the three monsters from Xuanyuan Tomb, making Nuwa a villain who destroyed the bridge after crossing it and lost all her face.

The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, acting under the orders of Nuwa, wreaked havoc on the Shang Dynasty, committing acts that infuriated both the gods and the people. This was simply a necessary evil. Originally, it was a formality, meant to allow the Zhou Dynasty to give an explanation to its people. Instead, Jiang Ziya executed these three heroes, a truly excessive act. Yuanshi Tianzun's actions were even more unkind. To express his gratitude to the two Western Saints, he allowed them to take the Jiejiao sect's three thousand demon disciples.

What the two saints of the West did was somewhat harmful. Because the three thousand demon disciples were unruly and disobedient, all of them had their roots of troubles cut off, were reduced to mounts, and suffered abuse. Some of the demon disciples who escaped also spread the news.
