After considering the accomplishments of all three, Nezha, though somewhat dissatisfied, accepted this assertion.
He had no choice but to accept he was not their equal.
“Immortal Maiden, I’m fine,” said Chenxiang with a faint smile.
He looked at Sun Wukong and said, “I believe this must be a test from master.
If I do not dare to discard my own cultivation base, how can I have the courage to practice Master’s Great Grade Celestial Immortal Technique and become as powerful as him?”
Sun Wukong was silent for a moment before responding, “Actually, I hadn’t thought that far ahead.
My initial intention was to do it myself, but before I knew it, you had already discarded your cultivation base.”
Chenxiang: “…”
So, it was his own impulsiveness.
Yang Jian was slightly taken aback, tears and laughter mingling.
“I think this child has found the right master.
Both of your temperaments are equally hasty.”
Chenxiang felt somewhat embarrassed.
To think that at his age, he was still so impulsive.
But it wasn’t really his fault.
Aside from the Heavenly Venerates and the Great Heavenly Venerates, any ordinary immortal would probably react with the same unrestrained joy at becoming Sun Wukong’s disciple.
Such a reaction was, after all, normal.
“Having the Great Saint as his master is truly this child’s good fortune.
We can rest easy.
In fact, we had long recognized his talents; it’s just a pity that our Dao Magic was not profound enough and it delayed him for thousands of years,” Iron-Crutch Li sighed.
According to Chenxiang’s talents, many deities would have been willing to take him as a disciple.
As long as he cultivated normally, he could become strong.
Any deity would want such a worry-free disciple.
Unfortunately, due to Lady San Shengmu breaking the Heavenly Laws, there wasn’t a single deity in the world willing to take him as a disciple.
Eventually, they couldn’t watch any longer and decided to teach Chenxiang some Dao Magic.
With that Dao Magic, he managed to become a Celestial Immortal.
Now that he was Sun Wukong’s disciple, Chenxiang’s potential would certainly be maximized.
Sun Wukong smiled and said, “He’s quite talented indeed, but it’s his personality that pleases me even more.
Just leave him to Old Sun’s training, and in no time, he will become one of the most powerful beings in the Three Realms.”
Yang Jian stood up and said to Sun Wukong, “Then, my brother, I thank you.”
“There’s no need for formality between us, brother,” Sun Wukong laughed.
Hearing Sun Wukong say so, Yang Jian showed a hint of a smile.
He bid farewell to Nezha and left the place.
Sun Wukong didn’t detain him; he knew what Yang Jian was waiting for.
Soon enough, the Jade Emperor would likely seek out Yang Jian.
Once the Jade Emperor “persuaded” Yang Jian, it would be time for them to act.
Even if the Jade Emperor was highly intelligent, he would never expect that Yang Jian was approaching him with a plan to behead him.
The Jade Emperor might suspect Yang Jian of being a spy, but he would never imagine that it was actually an assassination mission.
Because in the Jade Emperor’s mind, it was instinctively inconceivable for anyone to be so foolish as to attempt an assassination on him.
Being recognized as the foremost among those below the Three Pure Ones wasn’t done lightly in the Three Realms.
Aside from the Eastern King, it was extremely difficult to find someone who could contend with the Great Emperor in the realms.
The Jade Emperor reigned supreme when the Three Pure Ones abstained from action.
Although the Great Emperor Ziwei was currently the Supreme of the Three Realms, his strength wasn’t fully developed yet, and he still needed time.
Sun Wukong instructed Fan Yao to make arrangements for Yunhua Fairy and the others, then he took Chenxiang into Water Curtain Cave.
He began to heal Chenxiang’s injuries and taught him the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Technique.
Once Chenxiang mastered the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Technique, he could cultivate on his own.
Becoming a Celestial Immortal in three years was not an idle claim.
Yang Jian and Nezha returned to Guan River Mouth.
Suddenly, Nezha transmitted a message, “Second brother, are you hiding something from me?”
Yang Jian was slightly taken aback and looked at Nezha with some confusion, replying, “What could your brother be hiding from you?
Don’t overthink it.”
Nezha rolled his eyes at Nezha and said, “Don’t lie to me.
I may be impulsive, but I’m not dumb.
I can tell when you’re hiding something.
Your departure from Ziwei Heavenly Court is just an act, right?
This is all to get close to the Jade Emperor, but your aim isn’t just to be a spy.
Given my understanding of you as your brother, you’re planning to kill the Jade Emperor.”
At this point, Nezha’s eyes widened.
“No way, second brother, have you gone mad?
Even if the Jade Emperor were to allow you to sneak attack him successfully, you would never be able to kill him.
You must be clearer about his power than I am.”
Continuing, Nezha said, “No, that can’t be right.
Even if you’ve gone insane, the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others wouldn’t just go along with your madness.
Could it be that it’s not just you acting alone?
Is this an assassination attempt?
You all are truly insane.”
Nezha conveyed all these words through transmission, yet his facial expression remained utterly calm.
Yang Jian gave Nezha a peculiar look.
He really wanted to ask Nezha when he had become so astute, even guessing his own strategies?
Nezha continued to look into Yang Jian’s eyes and transmitted his question again, “Second brother, am I right or not?”
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded his head.
Seeing him admit it, Nezha couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
It turned out that he had been feeling guilty and self-reproachful for thinking he caused Yang Jian trouble.
He had no idea they were all acting, putting on a show.
Had it not been for the trip to Mount Hua and Yang Jian’s behavior on the way, Nezha would not have noticed anything amiss.
Although he was very concerned about his family’s safety, he didn’t harbor intense resentment toward the Great Emperor Ziwei’s questioning.
That was a bit peculiar; moreover, Yang Jian had purposefully revealed the identity of those who had taken action.
Based on Yang Jian’s usual style, he wouldn’t have wanted Sun Wukong to escalate the issue and get him involved.
However, this time, he had done just that.
There was only one explanation: those from the Thunder Department weren’t typical, and Yang Jian had intentionally spoken as he did so Sun Wukong would investigate their identities because they were spies for the Jade Emperor.
Putting everything together, along with how well Nezha knew Yang Jian, if he couldn’t figure it out now, he really would be too naive.
At this thought, Nezha couldn’t help but quip, “Second brother, you’re being really unfair, even hiding it from me.”
