Chapter 236: Brother and Sister’s Complete Fall-out; I can Finally Start Reeling Back the Net.
Jiang Yang’s appearance caused Yaoyao to become stunned for a while.
It was unexpected that he’d show up at the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, and even more so that he said he was coming to find her.
But she reacted soon, anger and coldness appeared on her tiny face, glaring daggers at him silently.
After all, he was the culprit who had sent her master into the Yuhua Heavenly Pond.
At this moment, if the person she missed the most was Gu Changge, then the person she hated the most would definitely be Jiang Yang!
If it weren’t for Jiang Yang, how could her master have rushed to the Yuhua Heavenly Pond without reason and expose himself to the dangers there, to the point where he eventually fell?
Not to mention the fact that the current Jiang Yang was not her old brother, but an old monster who possessed her brother’s body… the ancestor of Xianlun Sacred Land!
During this time, she and Grandma Yinhua had also heard that numerous major Divine Mountains and Restricted Areas besieged the Xianlun Sacred Land.
And in the end, it was Jiang Yang who utilized the Xianlun Seal to destroy all those intruders, even annihilating the Xianlun Sacred Land itself, turning millions of years of heritage into floating dust.
This move really shocked the both of them.
None understood how Jiang Yang could activate the Xianlun Seal, but Grandma Yinhua and Yaoyao knew that it was because of the Xianlun Supreme’s spirit inside Jiang Yang’s body!
The Xianlun Seal was his weapon to begin with, so why wouldn’t he be able to urge it?
Gu Changge had told Yaoyao this himself.
So both of them were very clear about it.
The Xianlun Supreme was a legendary figure in the Tianchen Realm, and rumours say that he wasn’t born in this realm, with no one knowing where he actually originated from.
And after finally establishing the Xianlun Sacred Land in the Tianchen Realm, he disappeared.
But on that day, Jiang Yang did not hesitate to destroy even the Daoist Sect he had once founded in order to kill the enemies plaguing him.
One could see how maddened Jiang Yang was through this incident alone!
This made Yaoyao and Grandma Yinhua uneasy, their fear of Jiang Yang growing even deeper.
Seeing Yaoyao’s icy expression, Grandma Yinhua couldn’t help but, shaking her head gently, signalling for Yaoyao to not be impulsive.
Before Gu Changge’s life or death was determined, if Yaoyao and Jiang Yang broke their relationship off, it would bear more ill than good for them
Because her strange state of power was not something she could properly control at any time.
Yaoyao also understood this truth, so she gritted her teeth tightly, clenching her jade fists under the large sleeves, and forced herself to calm down at this time, to not confront Jiang Yang.
“Brother, how did you know that Yaoyao would be here…”
Then, she spoke softly, and there was only peace in her shimmering eyes.
“I know you’re worried about your master’s safety, so I guessed that you would come here.”
Jiang Yang smiled. Though he noticed Yaoyao’s icy expression just now, he was not too concerned.
In his eyes, Yaoyao was just a little girl, and now the master she can rely on has fallen and died. Besides his brother, who else could she rely on?
The little girl might feel alienated and indifferent to him due to reasons, but he firmly believed that this kind of thing would change quickly over time.
In Jiang Yang’s heart, after erasing the previous consciousness, he realized that there were actually two obsessions left behind by that consciousness. One was his hatred for the Xianlun Sacred Land.
And the second was the responsibility of being a big brother, missing Yaoyao, and wanting to take care of her and let her live happily.
Jiang Yang had not really cared about these two obsessions.
After all, his divine soul was extremely powerful, and these obsessions could not affect him at all.
However, he now felt that if these two obsessions were not resolved, it would lead to unimaginable consequences in the future.
Even his soul might become unstable.
Jiang Yang had been reincarnated many times, yet this was the first time he has encountered such a situation. In the end, he felt that the reason might be Yaoyao.
Because the existence of this little girl involved a fate that originally belonged to him.
“As a big brother, I will definitely worry about you, seeing that you left without saying goodbye. It really made me uneasy at the time, in fear that you would encounter some dangers.”
Jiang Yang smiled, continuing to speak as he walked closer to Yaoyao.
Zhao Yi, who followed behind him, had a complicated expression on her face.
Yaoyao, this little girl, was obviously hiding some big secret, otherwise Jiang Yang would not have an attitude such as this towards her.
These days, Jiang Yang’s invincible and arrogant demeanour deeply shocked her. Yet the Jiang Yang when faced with Yaoyao showed not a sliver of these qualities.
That shocked her even more.
Jiang Yang was really too strong and mysterious!
Even the terrifying Supreme Immortal was killed inside the Yuhua Heavenly Pond because of him. Zhao Yi felt that following Jiang Yang was the most correct choice in life.
And Jiang Yang seemed pleased to have a maid in the Great Sacred Realm too, capable of solving the small troubles along his way, so he naturally didn’t mind letting her follow along.
“Brother doesn’t have to worry about Yaoyao; we can find Master by ourselves.”
Yaoyao shook her head softly.
“I don’t believe that Master will die here so easily.”
Jiang Yang did not refute her words either. He understood that this little girl was the type of person who would not believe him dead until she saw the Yellow Springs River for herself.
Then he showed a faint smile and spoke, “Yeah, after all, the Supreme Immortal is so powerful, so how could he be buried here so easily?”
“I’ve seen the rumours these days, and I’m afraid others might have misunderstood. As the saying goes, you must see a corpse to confirm one’s death. Since I’ve already come here, I’ll help you find the Supreme Immortal too.”
The many backhands within the Yuhua Heavenly Pond were far more terrifying than the Xianlun Sacred Land. No matter how heaven-defying this Immortal was, he’d still have to die here.
But he replied kindly, as to not aggravate the little girl, wanting her to give up by herself.
Yaoyao also knew that she couldn’t refuse at this time, as saying too much would rouse Jiang Yang’s suspicion, so she simply nodded, “Thank you, brother.”
Jiang Yang smiled in return, “Why do you need to thank me, it’s right for me to help you.”
Yaoyao pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the Yuhua Heavenly Pond.
The nearby mountains were extremely steep, with all kinds of mystical, ancient trees towering over, their vines hanging and spreading in all directions.
Layers of white mist floated down from the sky, giving an increasingly vivid sense of death, causing a feeling of anxiety and coldness.
If it were normal times, there would more or less be some creatures here, such as beasts, but now it was too quiet. There was no movement outside of the rustling wind.
The entire Yuhua Heavenly Pond had turned into a dead zone.
Except for their group, not a single living person appeared!
Above the many mountain ranges, the Dao paths intertwined, flowing here and there, a collection of strange patterns, emitting bright and dazzling rays of light.
And in a deeper place, a chaotic haze of indescribable depth could be seen, darkening the world and covering the heavens, as if it were the origins of the world!
Jiang Yang explained to them that there had been a war here that day, and that all creatures present were estimated to have died in the aftermath.
But Yaoyao and Grandma Yinhua didn’t believe it at all!

[In the depths of Yuhua Heavenly Pond.]
“The fish is finally here. It seems that I can finally start reeling in.”
“From today onwards, there will be no more Human Ancestor in this world.”
Gu Changge sat cross-legged on the body of a giant lotus, devouring and refining the origin of the Pure Worldly Lotus. The depths of his eyes reflected various terrifying scenes like the sinking of mountains and seas.
At this moment, Gu Changge was mumbling to himself with a faint smile on his face, for he’d already noticed the several auras coming from outside.
Yaoyao, Grandma Yinhua, Jiang Yang, and Zhao Yi – the Supreme Elder sword-bearer.
Four people, not one missing!
If it weren’t because of his intervention, according to the normal plot, these four people should have been all conquered by the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation, providing all kinds of help to Jiang Yang.
But now, Yaoyao and Grandma Yinhua, these supposed relatives of his, were instead extremely hostile towards him, to the point of almost tearing faces completely.
As for that Zhao Yi, normally, Jiang Yang should accept her as a part of his harem in the future. She’d followed him all the way here, after all.
Nonetheless, Gu Changge wasn’t interested in her.
Although she possessed an okay level of cultivation, she had also already exhausted her full potential to achieve it, and he could easily kill her with one palm.
Under his arrangement, most of the backhands that the Human Ancestor had left in his Yuhua Heavenly Pond fell under his control.
Though, at this time, Jiang Yang didn’t even know about that.
Swish!
And very quickly, without moving a single finger, Gu Changge released his powerful consciousness, a force like an indescribable ancient god, rushing out from the Spirit Temple between his eyebrows with a monstrous looming fog.
Innate Gods!
Utilizing his visualization method, the power of the Primordial Spirit alone could swallow the heaven and consume the earth, easily slaughtering any Great Sacred Realm!
Even a Quasi-Supreme might not be able to shake his Primordial Spirit!
Suddenly, above the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, a strange fluctuation began to appear.
Buzz!
A blossoming demonic cloud, covering the sky and sun, emerged from the four directions and began to condense overhead, as if being pushed by an invisible god’s hand!
The Heavens trembled!
Boom!
“Follow my Lord’s orders!”
“Kill!”
A headless horseman, sensing the change in the surroundings, rushed out from a bloodstained cliff, filled with a monstrous aura!
“Follow our Master’s command!”
In the opposite direction, an incomparably blurred, crimson phantom appeared in the deep valley. A demonic entity with burning scarlet eyes, slaughtering towards the Heavens.
“It’s really strange here. Yaoyao, you and Grandma should pay attention. Do not move too far away. If there is danger at this time, I won’t have time to help you…”
At this time, on a mountain road, Jiang Yang walked in front and spoke indifferently. There seemed to be a strange light revolving alongside each step he took.
An aura of unbearable strength permeated every inch of this place.
The hidden array patterns, the infinite killing intent that soared into the air.
Yet he was able to waltz outside them unharmed, in a straight path, leading into the depths.
Those murderous intent could only surge nearby, unable to approach him at all.
If it were any ordinary person instead of him, they’d be positively quaking in their boots, daring not to move or even breathe.
But Jiang Yang merely had a calm expression and led the way forwards indifferently.
No means to protect them? Who would believe that?
In fact, at this time, needless to say, Yaoyao already understood that the Yuhua Heavenly Pond had a strong connection with Jiang Yang.
He must know quite a few of this place’s secrets.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident, and spread the news to trap Gu Changge.
And now, although Jiang Yang stated that he had come to find her, he actually came to Yuhua Heavenly Pond to find his opportunities!
Thinking of this, the icy expression in Yaoyao’s eyes became more intense.
Even she herself didn’t notice the changes that were taking place in her body.
Grandma Yinhua, who was on the side, saw a peach blossom-like mark appear between her eyebrows, just like the last time Yaoyao suddenly ran wild.
There seemed to be absolutely no explanation to it!
Perhaps it’s more reactionary than controlled?
This made her face change slightly. Jiang Yang had a Supreme-grade artifact in hand. Even if Yaoyao became that state, would she be Jiang Yang’s opponent?
“During this journey, apart from seeing the traces of the battle that day, I haven’t seen any corpses. Although the Supreme Immortal possesses great power, I’m afraid that this time, there might be more misfortune than fortune…”
Jiang Yang walked in the front, observing the Yuhua Heavenly Pond which was close at hand, and couldn’t help but cover up his faint smile.
The group finally arrived deep inside the Heavenly Pond.
In the boundless water, ripples continued to spread, as a white mist covered the world.
Immortal mist reflecting the rippling azure waves, as green rays of light rose towards the sky.
It was exactly this ray of light that had attracted countless cultivators and creatures towards the pond in a frenzy, including the Supreme Immortal, who had unfortunately met his end here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yang’s expression became more and more indifferent. But in his eyes, it was a pity that he couldn’t personally take action to deal with the immortal, creating a somewhat regretful and sour feeling in his stomach.
He wanted to crush the one who had caused him shame with his own hands.
Along the way, he intentionally avoided coming into contact with the backhands he’d left in the past, so as not to be suspected by Yaoyao, though with his breath, none of those terrifying creatures hidden in the dark dared to attack him.
At this moment, Jiang Yang’s brows suddenly wrinkled slightly.
In the sky outside the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, streaks of light crossed the sky, heading towards them. It seemed that his speed was not fast enough, giving others the chance to follow him.
Jiang Yang didn’t know why the other party could keep track of his movements.
But obviously, this group of people were brought here by the mysterious woman who had planned to kill him previously.
“It’s been many days now, why haven’t the people from the Human Ancestral Hall arrived? Even an enemy outsider has realized where I am, so why doesn’t the Hall know? Could it be that there was an accident from within?”
Something felt amiss, and the feeling of being calculated by others reappeared in Jiang Yang’s heart.
However, he did indeed perceive the fluctuation of the Human Ancestral Hall’s secret technique that day.
Yet in the end, the person who activated it was not there, and the enemy had instead used it as bait to attract his attention. A trap made to ambush him?
Could it be that the Human Ancestral Hall’s descendant had fallen into their hands?
“I-isn’t this the place where Master disappeared?”
“Master, is he really gone…”
At that moment, by the boundless pond.
Yaoyao stared blankly into the water’s edge, her face ghastly pale, muttering to herself in denial.
The green lotus leaves were connected one by one, and there was no gap or opening in sight.
Each piece, green as vitality itself.
Each one, the size of a human face.
Particularly eye-catching was an immensely large green lotus, shrouded in chaos energy, accompanied by the immortal rhythm of the rumbling world, stretched out into infinity.
It should have been an astonishing sight…
But all these miraculous things had nothing to do with her anymore.
Because she couldn’t see even the slightest hint of Master. Not even the tiniest trace of his origin.
“Uuuuu… Master, are you really going to abandon Yaoyao like this…”
The tears that had dried poured once more, like strings of broken threads, falling like raindrops onto the water’s surface. Yaoyao’s breath hitched as she covered her mouth with trembling hands.
Grandma Yinhua’s face was also bitter, she didn’t know how to comfort the crying child.
In that short period of time, Yaoyao’s Master already possessed an unparalleled position in Yaoyao’s heart, firm and unshakable.
Yet now she had to face the fact that her beloved Master had died. Could she accept it?
No matter how mature she seemed, Yaoyao was still a child in the end.
“My condolences, Yaoyao, the Supreme Immortal might have really fallen. However, one must learn to mourn and move on. It was rumoured that his body was torn apart, and since there are many beasts here, I am afraid that he has been eaten completely, leaving no bones behind.”
“I really don’t understand…why did he insist on coming to this place? How sad you must be…”
Seeing Yaoyao cry, Jiang Yang actually frowned slightly, feeling his heart grow a little irritable.
He knew that this was the emotion left after the forceful possession.
Having said that, it wasn’t strong enough to affect him.
On the surface, he still spoke with a regretful expression, trying to comfort Yaoyao.
But in truth, he didn’t care about her at all, and was even hiding a slightly mocking tone.
He would never fail in killing the person he wants dead!
What was a mere immortal in front of himself?
Just as Jiang Yang was feeling rather proud–
“Shut up! It’s you who caused Master to be like this. If it wasn’t for you, how could Master have come to such a place? It’s all your fault!”
“And you’re still pretending even now! You disgusting, deceitful murderer!”
However, at this time, upon hearing Jiang Yang’s hypocritical words, Yaoyao suddenly turned around.
Her small body shook from rage and grief. The icy expression on her porcelain features filled with an almost indescribable rage, as she stared at Jiang Yang with loathing.
The man who had killed her Master was insulting him in front of her at this time?
There was no way for her to bear it any longer.
“Yaoyao, what do you mean by that? It’s all my fault? Is that what you truly think?”
Jiang Yang frowned and retorted with displeasure, “I’m just telling the truth as your big brother.”
As he said that, he closed his eyes, and his voice lowered slightly in pitch.
“Could it be that I, your brother, am completely inferior to that Immortal in your eyes?”
Jiang Yang suddenly felt the rapidly shifting changes within Yaoyao.
It seemed like she had truly noticed something?
Or did Gu Changge tell her about him before he left for the Heavenly Pond?
“You old monster. Not only are you forcefully occupying my brother’s body, but you also plotted to assassinate my master.”
“And you still want to pretend?!”
Yaoyao’s voice now contained clear murderous intent.
It was shocking for a young girl like her to have such an expression of hatred.
One must know that not too long ago, she was the lass that ran away from a gangster in fright, with her face turning colourless from intense fear.
Of course, this kind of change was not surprising to Gu Changge. Yaoyao was the Favoured Daughter of Heaven of the Tianchen Realm, after all. Even without him and the Human Ancestor’s reincarnation toying with the fate of the world, she would have still undergone a huge transformation nonetheless.
As the fruit of the mysterious peach tree turned human, her original destiny template was to become the most talented woman cultivator in ancient times, a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Jiang Yang’s expression almost faltered upon hearing Yaoyao’s words, before becoming indifferent.
“Yaoyao, what are you talking about? I’m your brother, have you forgotten about our childhood?”
“Please don’t talk nonsense. Don’t be bewitched by the monster and forget your own identity…”
He pleaded warmly, ready to play the emotional card.
Yaoyao was planning to tear off their relationship completely. And to be honest, Jiang Yang had been caught off guard, not expecting things to develop outside his original plans.
He could easily guess that it was Gu Changge who revealed some information to Yaoyao beforehand. Otherwise, how could she be so sure, and even know about his possession?
Thus, Jiang Yang’s heart turned gloomy. He hated that he didn’t kill Gu Changge earlier, and ended up causing so many twists and turns for no reason.
Buzz!
“Accept your death! Yaoyao will avenge Master today!”
However, Yaoyao had changed too much from the past to listen to such nonsense. The spot between her eyebrows burned with a dazzling light. The peach blossoms blew from the Ancient Peach Tree, an extremely gorgeous, yet terrifying sight.
She flew into the sky.
The fluttering dress, her bare feet beating against the snow, as strands of worldly rules streaked from the Heavens. Delicate like a flawless fairy, but with a face as cold as frost.
A power capable of sundering all emerged from her fragile body.
And in the next moment, with a swipe of her small hand, pieces of immortal law appeared, turning into peerless divine blades containing a grand destructive momentum. Countless sword lights swept downwards to slaughter Jiang Yang.
“Tch! When did this brat start suspecting me? Did that Supreme Immortal tell her about me since the beginning? What a waste of my plans!”
“Moreover, her Qi has grown immensely stronger than last time…”
Seeing this, Jiang Yang’s expression became gloomy. He didn’t believe that Yaoyao would dare to tear apart their relationship like this and strike at him.
As a result, many of the arrangements he had already thought of were rendered useless.
The situation changed like a wild horse, completely out of his control!
But at this time, the top priority was to stop Yaoyao, so as not to affect his biggest objective.
“Take it and block her for me!”
Jiang Yang’s expression was very ugly. He waved his hand, and a small crystal clear cauldron flew into Zhao Yi’s palm behind him.
At the same time, he finally accessed the Heavenly Pond, urging it to rumble and shake.
On the outermost area, a murderous intent soared to the sky, along with all the awakening patterns, revolving into a palace of runic symbols to resist the mysterious woman trying to kill him.
The methods he arranged had begun to work!
— — —
“The Yuhua Heavenly Pond is far more dangerous than the Xianlun Sacred Land. It seems that Jiang Yang really intends to utilize this strange place and ascend to the Heavens in one fell swoop… If he succeeds, won’t he manage to escape from this world?”
Yue Mingkong, who was blocked outside of the Yuhua Heavenly Pond, felt her brows wrinkle. Those mighty golden armoured warriors behind her stood silently on the horizon, like Heavenly soldiers and generals, fighting in all directions.
She had a feeling that her plans had gone awry.
Within the Heavenly Pond, laid the Divine Artifact most needed by the Human Ancestor.
In addition, there was a grand arrangement barring the way in. If anyone entered here by mistake, she was afraid that they’d be destroyed in body and spirit for good.
The Human Ancestor was a sly and cunning man. He could not be ignored.
Boom!
A Heaven-shattering crash echoed while the sky darkened, as if a chaotic True Demon had begun to awaken in the deepest parts of the Yuhua Heavenly Pond.
A monstrous gray fog congealed, revealed a pair of indifferent eyes hidden within, overlooking the Heavens and Earth!
The entire Heavenly Pond, with its vast territory and endless boundaries, trembled at this time.
And further away, innumerable primal beasts were on the verge of waking, looking up at the sky in fear, their bodies prostrating in extreme terror.
