Jiang Ruyu!
Yang Tian collected more treasures than he did so far in life in a single day. Not to mention plenty of Heaven’s building components, as well. Bai Hua joined Heaven that day.
“Shifu, Shifu, where are we going?” asked a five-year-old dragon girl with two dragon horns.
The girl inherited potent true dragon blood. That was the reason Yang Tian took her in. Bai Hua and company went back to their base, while Yang Tian took the dragon girl, Xiaojiao, to Ancient Celestial Mount Kunlun. It took several days to find the gate despite having a map. The two entered the gate hand in hand.
On the other side of the gate really was a world for empyreans. Dao Voices could be heard in the area. There was a tree that sprouted legs and ran around. The tree possessed the power of immortality. The tree suddenly pleaded Yang Tian, treating him as a venerated deity. The tree proclaimed it was merely a large tree that developed a conscious. Thus, Yang Tian pursed his lips and remarked, “You refer to me as a venerated deity, yet lie to my face?”
“Please wait a moment.”
Yang Tian turned around after hearing the calm and soothing voice. He recognised her; she was Immortal Mortal Dao’s Zhang Ying! He asked, “What are you doing here?”
Xiaojiao ran around Zhang Ying and giggled. “You’re so pretty, Sister. Give me a hug.”
Yang Tian chuckled. “Long-time no see. This is my third disciple.”
Zhang Ying nodded and revealed a Chaos Golden Lotus.
“Is that for me, Sister?” asked Xiaojiao.
Yang Tian frowned. “Call her ‘Senior’.”
“Thank you, Senior, hehe.” Xiaojiao took the lotus cheerfully.
Zhang Yin brushed her hair and smiled. “You must have a lot of questions. Come with me.”
They passed by a celestial mountain and arrived inside a majestic palace for deities. Yang Tian saw the divine artefact Heaven’s South Gate! Zhang Yin explained they were at Heaven’s ruins. She claimed she had never been there. Yang Tian suddenly saw Dao Qi collected. The mysterious individual was the one who shook up the nightmare dragon.
“Shizun,” greeted Zhang Yin.
Yang Tian: “Greetings, Senior.”
“Not bad. You have accomplished things my husband did not predict, but that is a good thing,” said the individual.
Yang Tian was unable to identify the gender of the speaker. Scratching his head, he queried, “Senior, you are?”
“Xiaohei, why don’t you come out?”
The nightmare dragon fearfully emerged. Unable to see the individual, the nightmare dragon asked, “Are you Ma’am?”
“Xiaohei, I’m not dead. My husband changed my fate, thereby escaping heaven’s control. Consequently, you can’t see me.”
“I am glad to meet you again, Ma’am.” The nightmare dragon tearfully said to Yang Tian. “Hurry up and bow to your paternal grandmother.”
Yang Tian didn’t expect to meet the ultimate cultivator’s wife – Jiang Ruyu. After greeting her, she helped Yang Tian up. “Don’t stand on ceremony. I’m surprised to see you here.”
It was said the Devil Lord killed Jiang Ruyu when she was young during the ancient era. It, therefore, was a surprise to see her alive. Moreover, her husband died, which did not make sense. Could not he save himself if he could supposedly save her?
Jiang Ruyu explained her husband sundered Heavenly Dao in two after he sealed the Devil Lord and angered Heavenly Dao. He used Heavenly Dao’s Source to help her escape heaven’s control, but he suffered grave wounds in the process. Apparently, he was soon scheduled to wake from his coma. That certainly was startling to learn. Alas, cruel Heavenly Dao was also set to reawaken soon. Accordingly, Jiang Ruyu told Yang Tian to go and cultivate in Fortune Gate.
Jiang Ruyu summoned the ancient tree over and said, “Immortal, join him.”
“Yes, Deity,” replied the tree.
Yang Tian did not know where to start with his questions. Jiang Ruyu told him to establish Heaven a millennium later. She told him she would journey with him to Sun Continent after he completed his Dao there because a big calamity was encroaching.
“What about me, Shizun?” asked Zhang Ying.
“Go with him. You were born from Chaos Lotus and only a fragmented soul. You will be a big help.”
Everyone teleported away.
