The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

Fang Yang's successful breakthrough was entirely thanks to the World Tree. With the World Tree providing a continuous supply of energy, Fang Yang was able to complete the breakthrough without any preparation.

Normally, if he wanted to break through his cultivation level, he would definitely find a place with abundant spiritual energy and prepare a large number of rare and precious materials before daring to attempt the breakthrough.

This is one of the reasons why the Jade Emperor was amazed by Fang Yang's breakthrough.

The Jade Emperor had never seen an immortal break through their cultivation level so easily without any preparation.

Yao Ji was dumbfounded. She stared at Fang Yang, her head buzzing.

She had once fought against Huanglong Zhenren, and the two fought to a draw. From then on, Yaoji considered herself a heroine, a true female warrior.

Huanglong Zhenren was renowned; he was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and a direct disciple of the Chan Sect. For Yao Ji, a mere nobody, to fight to a draw with a disciple of a sage—it was impossible for her not to be proud!

However, Yao Ji had no idea how much of the claim that Huanglong Zhenren was a direct disciple of the Chan Sect was exaggerated.

Huanglong Zhenren was able to join the Chan Sect thanks to Yuanshi Tianzun's emphasis on rules. Yuanshi Tianzun used a grand formation to test those who came to become his disciples, and since Huanglong Zhenren passed the test, Yuanshi Tianzun would not refuse to accept him.

However, Huanglong Zhenren, being born into the dragon race, was burdened with karmic debts, making every advancement in his cultivation extremely difficult. While other Golden Immortals had advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Huanglong Zhenren remained at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Defeating Huanglong Zhenren is really not difficult at all.

Not to mention Yao Ji, even Shi Ji Niangniang, who was easily killed by Taiyi Zhenren, could make Huanglong Zhenren wish he were dead.

Today, Yao Ji witnessed the most outstanding figures among the Taiyi Golden Immortals, which broadened her understanding of the world.

She suddenly realized that she had been living in a well and looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

The Jade Emperor noticed the change in his younger sister's mood and found it amusing. He had specifically summoned Yao Ji to show her what a true genius was like, lest she become arrogant and suffer misfortune.

When the three of them left Zixiao Palace, the Hongjun Ancestor told him that Yaoji would face a calamity in the future, and advised the three of them to be careful.

The Jade Emperor always remembered Hongjun Laozu's words, and he was always ready to help Yaoji overcome her tribulation.

"It is a great honor to have made further progress in your cultivation, my junior brother. Our Heavenly Court is weak and cannot compare with the great teachings of the sages. I hope you will forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

The Jade Emperor said this, but the confidence in his eyes was undeniable. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with his work.

Since the Jade Emperor wanted to exchange pleasantries, Fang Yang could only follow suit. He waved his hands repeatedly, saying that the Jade Emperor was too polite.

"Uncle, you flatter me. I am already overwhelmed by the Heavenly Court's hospitality. Such treasures as the Primordial Peaches and Enlightenment Tea are hard to come by even in my Biyou Palace. I will remember your kindness."

He wasn't praising the Jade Emperor; the Primordial Enlightenment Tea and the Primordial Peaches were indeed extremely rare treasures in the world.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor laughed heartily: "Since my junior brother enjoys the Primordial Enlightenment Tea, I, as his senior brother, cannot be too stingy. I will give him an ounce or two so that he may savor it."

With that, he reached out and pushed, and a treasure box made of Chaos Heavenly Crystal flew out and landed in front of Fang Yang.

The poorer a person is, the more generous they tend to be; this applies everywhere.

The Jade Emperor did not have many resources at his disposal. Although the Grandmaster Hongjun allocated a batch of resources to the Jade Emperor, these resources were all used by the Jade Emperor to build the Heavenly Court.

Even so, in order to demonstrate the Heavenly Court's profound resources and to prove himself to Fang Yang, the Jade Emperor still sent Fang Yang a tael of Primordial Enlightenment Tea.

Fang Yang gladly accepted the kind offer from the Jade Emperor.

In the future, he will send tens of thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect to the Heavenly Court to become the servants of the Jade Emperor. It is only right that the Jade Emperor gives some material rewards in return.

What Fang Yang can give to the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor can never repay.

Helping the Jade Emperor perfect the Heavenly Court is equivalent to helping him achieve the position of Holy Heavenly Emperor. This is a grace of enlightenment, which cannot be repaid with any amount of material possessions.

Seeing how readily Fang Yang accepted the benefits, the Jade Emperor gained a deeper understanding of Fang Yang's character. He didn't know whether Fang Yang was good or evil, but he was certain that Fang Yang was not a pretentious person.

"Uncle-Master must be very curious about my purpose in coming to the Heavenly Court this time, right?"

After accepting the Primordial Enlightenment Tea, Fang Yang got to the point, "Junior nephew has come to deliver an opportunity to your senior uncle."

Pfft!Pfft!

Suddenly, the heart of the Jade Emperor broke down and began to beat uncontrollably.

It wasn't that the Jade Emperor's mental cultivation was insufficient; it was simply that the opportunity he sensed was too great. The Jade Emperor was almost certain that the opportunity brought by Fang Yang was enough to change his destiny.

The Jade Emperor was very ambitious. He wanted to become the Holy Emperor, above all the saints in the heavens, to truly rule the primordial world and become its master.

This is the Heavenly Emperor as understood by the Jade Emperor, and it is the Jade Emperor's ultimate dream.

The Jade Emperor's cultivation was too high; Fang Yang couldn't tell if he was feigning composure. Seeing that the Jade Emperor didn't speak, Fang Yang continued, "In the Heavenly Realm, gods are scarce. My uncle might find it difficult to govern the Three Realms. Our Jie Sect can help with this matter."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor was overjoyed. However, as the Heavenly Emperor, he absolutely could not let others see his emotions.

"Is my junior disciple willing to enter the Heavenly Court and become a god?"

This was an unconscious thought of the Jade Emperor.

Only a direct disciple of the Jie Sect joining the Heavenly Court can be considered a great opportunity. Fang Yang has too few immortals under his command, only fourteen. Even if all fourteen joined the Heavenly Court, it would be a drop in the ocean and would not solve the Heavenly Court's predicament.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yang simply shook his head slightly: "Uncle, you misunderstand. I am a person outside the secular world and have no intention of ascending to heaven to become a god."

The Jade Emperor was very patient; upon hearing this, he was not in a hurry. The more Fang Yang said this, the more curious he became about what Fang Yang was really up to.

"Uncle-Master, although I will not join the Heavenly Court, my Intercepting Sect has 48,000 disciples. If I were to sell them to you, would you be willing to accept them?"

"Sell it to the Heavenly Court?"

The Jade Emperor was filled with doubt; Fang Yang's words were completely unexpected. He had never seen anyone sell their junior brothers and sisters before.

Meeting the gaze of the Jade Emperor, Fang Yang nodded slightly: "Indeed! It's a misfortune for our sect; there are too many unworthy disciples within our ranks. In the past, these unworthy disciples have consumed countless resources and fortunes of our sect. Killing them directly would be a waste. Therefore, I wish to sell them to you, Uncle, so that they can assist you in governing the Three Realms. What do you think of my idea, Uncle?"
