Chapter 538 Yang Jian, the Second Prince, Manifests as the Holy True Lord! Nezha Meets the Great God
heaven.
Mosquito Taoist took the lead, revealing his true form and flying up to scout the way for Yang Jiao.
On the actual South Heavenly Gate, two heavenly soldiers and generals began to tidy their clothes.
"Brother, cheer up! Today is the day to welcome 365 righteous gods. Don't embarrass our Heavenly Guards!"
Don't worry, brother!
"Remember the lessons of the past, this time we must guard the South Gate well, and not allow even a fly to get in!"
"Okay, brother."
As he spoke, the two heavenly soldiers stood ramrod straight.
The Mosquito Taoist leisurely flew around them once.
The heavenly soldier immediately exclaimed with delight, "Hey, big brother, there's a mosquito here!"
Snapped!
Another heavenly soldier slapped him hard across the face and reprimanded him sternly:
"Idiot! I told you to guard the flies!"
Mosquito Taoist leisurely flew inside to wait for Yang Jiao.
Before long, the gates that guided the 365 righteous gods were raised.
Venus, leading a group of celestial beings, hurriedly came to greet them:
"Welcome the gods into the temple!"
More than three hundred immortals walked behind Yang Jiao in a grand procession, suppressing their furtive glances, all marveling at the abundance of spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court.
Li Jing was stopped halfway by the heavenly soldiers guarding the gate:
"Stop right there. This is your workstation from now on. Be a good guard at the door. If even a fly dares to get in, you'll be sorry."
Li Jing stood at the door, enduring the humiliation.
The remaining deities were led into the Lingxiao Palace by Venus.
Mosquito Taoist approached Yang Jiao. As a demon beast, she was not qualified to enter the Lingxiao Palace without a divine position, and would be eliminated. He tugged at Yang Jiao's sleeve reluctantly.
"Yang Jiao, you need to come out quickly."
Yang Jiao nodded: "Okay, I'll be out soon."
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, golden light shone down, and the Haotian Mirror, suspended in the air, rotated, reflecting all things in the Three Realms.
Incense smoke curled up inside the hall, and the Jade Emperor sat in the highest position in the very center, exuding majesty and solemnity.
The instant his gaze swept over them, all the gods bowed and offered their congratulations:
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Jade Emperor glanced at the gods before him and said in a deep voice:
"My beloved subjects, rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the ceremony, the gods and immortals lined up on both sides, standing solemnly.
The Jade Emperor rose, his eyes gleaming with a restrained divine light, exuding natural majesty.
Looking at the few people in the hall who had not yet been deified, his gaze finally settled on Yang Jian.
Yang Jian stood tall and imposing, exuding heroic spirit. He met the Jade Emperor's gaze without fear, his eyes firm and steady.
The Jade Emperor smiled slightly and spoke without any attempt to conceal their relationship:
"Jian'er, you are brave! Your achievements are evident to all your uncle. You have accomplished a great feat! Today, you ascend to the Heavenly Court in your physical body. What do you desire?"
Yang Jian bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied in a clear voice:
"Your Majesty, Yang Jian has no other wish than to use his military achievements to free his mother from the suffering of Peach Mountain, so that our family can be reunited."
Yang Jian's voice was strong and clear, without the slightest hesitation or doubt, which was precisely the reason he had made a name for himself.
My mother suffered so much alone in Taoshan.
He used the title 'Your Majesty', and hadn't even called him 'Uncle' yet.
Seeing this, Venus's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile, saying:
"Yang Jian truly lives up to his reputation as His Majesty's nephew; he is so filial and a good boy."
As he spoke, he bowed and addressed the Jade Emperor, offering his advice:
"Since Yang Jian is so filial, Your Majesty, please give the order so that I may immediately go to Peach Mountain to bring Fairy Yao Ji back to the Heavenly Court for a proper family reunion."
The Jade Emperor was quite satisfied and gave Venus an approving look, about to agree.
"Hmm?" Yang Jian suddenly turned his head and calmly interrupted, "Your Majesty, what Yang Jian means is that he hopes to return to Guanjiangkou and reunite with his family."
They're really stubborn and won't listen to reason.
The Jade Emperor helplessly cast a glance at Yang Jiao: "Jiao'er..."
Yang Jiao stepped forward and slapped Yang Jian on the back of the head with a crisp, clean motion: "Call him uncle."
Yang Jian covered his head, his voice extremely low: "Uncle..."
"Ah!" the Jade Emperor replied loudly.
It was as if he was afraid others wouldn't know that this was his own nephew.
Before the gods of Heaven, he pulled Yang Jiao and Yang Jian to his side and said:
"Since you have made outstanding contributions but were not listed on the official list, I hereby issue an edict to bestow upon you divine titles."
Yang Jian and Nezha exchanged a disappointed glance.
Nezha exclaimed in regret on the spot, muttering, "I thought Yang Jiao was coming to bestow a god title upon me, but it's the Jade Emperor!"
His voice was not soft, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with gasps of shock.
"Cough cough." Venus suddenly started coughing. "It is an immense honor for His Majesty to personally bestow the title of god upon us with His golden words."
Yang Jiao glanced at them sideways, and the two who were about to start a fight quieted down.
"Uncle, let's confer the title of God. After that, Jiao'er can go and fetch her mother."
The Jade Emperor raised his hand, and purple clouds instantly appeared in the east.
An imperial edict landed before Venus, who received it with both hands, slowly unfolded it, and began to read it.
"By the decree of the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, the Great Heavenly Venerable, and the Supreme God of the Mysterious Vault..."
After reciting the honorific title, Venus took a breath and continued:
"Your physical bodies have attained sainthood, enduring countless tribulations without decay. You shall be granted celestial duties to eternally guard the Three Realms!"
"Yang Jian of Guanjiang Estuary, protects all living beings and has performed immeasurable merits; he enjoys the authority of the gods and generals of the Three Realms and is in charge of the heavenly laws and regulations, and is hereby conferred the title of Qingyuan Miaodao Manifesting Saint True Lord."
Yang Jian's silver armor gleamed coldly, and the Eight or Nine Arcane Arts flowed around his body. He slightly opened his Heavenly Eye and said, "I accept the decree."
"Chentang Pass..."
"Hmm?" Nezha gripped his Fire-Tipped Spear tighter.
Venus changed the place name and continued:
"Nezha of the Golden Light Cave, who vanquished demons and protected the righteous path, was the bravest among the three armies; his divine power was awe-inspiring, and he led the heavenly soldiers of land, sea, and air to sweep away all evil spirits, and was conferred the title of—Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly!"
Nezha, with the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) wrapped around his arm and blazing flames, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Understood!"
"Lei Zhenzi..."
“Wei Hu…”
As the reading of the Investiture of the Gods came to an end.
With a wave of his sleeve, the Jade Emperor summoned cranes to fly in unison outside the Lingxiao Palace, their cries a toast; and a radiant golden light appeared in the sky, accompanied by surging auspicious clouds.
With divine authority and solemn voice, he admonished:
"You 365 righteous gods and those who have attained sainthood in the flesh have all been granted heavenly positions and should protect the Three Realms."
Yang Jiao stood in the center, bowed, and replied:
"I will obey your imperial decree and forever safeguard the world."
As soon as she spoke, she led the more than three hundred newly appointed righteous gods present in unison:
"I will obey your imperial decree and forever safeguard the world."
The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice, "Good! Today is a joyous occasion. The positions of the gods in the Heavenly Court are now complete. All my beloved ministers, please go to your respective residences and make yourselves settled. The grand Peach Banquet for all the gods will be held soon."
Having said that, the gods began to leave the Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor shed his imposing demeanor and turned around: "Jiao'er, where are you...?"
Venus pointed to the three fastest figures and, wiping his sweat, replied:
"Your Majesty, when you said they were done, the three of them had already run away."
Outside the Lingxiao Palace.
Yang Jiao ran in the lead, waving to Mosquito Taoist from afar:
"Mosquito, let's go to Peach Mountain and split the mountain to save our mother!"
