Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

The Jade Emperor was reviewing reports from various departments of the Heavenly Court.

Upon hearing the report from the Giant Spirit God, he raised his head and placed the jade slip in his hand back on the imperial desk.

"Is Changsheng back?"

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor has just passed through the Southern Heavenly Gate and entered the Heavenly Court."

The giant spirit stood below the palace, daring not to conceal anything.

"Accompanying the Heavenly Emperor was a man dressed in a silver-white robe."

"Judging from that man's appearance, he bears a striking resemblance to Erlang Shen and the Third Holy Mother."

Upon hearing this, Haotian immediately understood.

Yang Jiao.

Haotian leaned back on the dragon throne, feeling quite satisfied.

What Yao Ji has been most worried about all these years is her missing eldest son.

Now that Yang Jiao is out of trouble and Yang Tianyou's problem has been completely resolved, the old affairs of the Yang family can finally come to an end.

Where did they go?

"Your Majesty, after entering the palace, the Heavenly Lord did not go to the Law Enforcement Heavenly God Temple, but instead headed towards the Princess's residence."

"This humble general dared not delay, and thus came immediately to report."

Haotian nodded.

The Giant Spirit God handled this matter quite cleverly.

If he, as the uncle, only reacts after receiving news from Yao Ji's residence, it would seem that he doesn't care enough about his nephew.

In the Western War, the Tongtian Sect Leader stole the show.

As the ruler of the Three Realms and Yang Jiao's maternal uncle, he couldn't just leave without making any gesture.

What to send requires careful consideration.

Ordinary spiritual treasures are not presentable.

Too heavy amulets can easily dampen the joy of a family reunion.

Haotian pondered for a moment, then his gaze fell on Venus, who was standing to the side of the palace.

"Taibai".

"Your old minister is here."

Venus, holding a whisk, stepped forward to receive orders.

"How many of these ripe, top-quality flat peaches are left in the orchard?"

Venus had an idea and quickly replied.

"Your Majesty, there are still twenty-seven peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years, and they have all been registered."

"Nine of them are reserved for the next Peach Banquet, six are prepared to be awarded to meritorious immortals and gods, and the rest have not yet been decided."

After listening, Haotian made a decision immediately.

"Bring three."

"Three?"

Venus confirmed it.

The 9,000-year-old peach is no ordinary fairy fruit.

If a cultivator consumes one, it can greatly increase their magical power, nourish their Dao foundation, and prolong their lifespan.

Sending out three coins at once is no small gift.

"Not bad, three."

Haotian raised his hand and took out a golden decree.

"Yang Jiao has just escaped from danger, and his body is inevitably somewhat weakened."

"Of these three peaches, one will restore his vitality, one will help him solidify his foundation, and the last one will be left for Yao Ji."

"You shall personally deliver this to the Princess's residence and convey my congratulations to her and her son on their reunion."

Upon receiving the decree, Venus immediately understood the Emperor's intention.

The three peaches were not just a reward, but also a token of Haotian's affection as his uncle.

One of them was specially reserved for Yao Ji.

This was not a reward from the Heavenly Emperor, but rather a congratulatory message from an elder brother.

"Your humble servant obeys the imperial decree."

Just as Venus was about to step down, Haotian added another sentence.

"Upon arriving at the Princess's residence, there is no need to read out the imperial edict."

"I am merely sending some congratulatory gifts and do not wish to attract too much attention."

"If Changsheng asks, just say it's what I, as his uncle, should do."

Venus nodded secretly.

Your Majesty is indeed handling the Yang family's affairs much more prudently than before.

Back then, when Yao Ji was imprisoned on Peach Mountain, too many rifts were left between her and her brother.

Over the years, Haotian has been trying to mend the relationship, but he can't let go of his identity as the Heavenly Emperor.

The situation gradually eased after Chen Changsheng appeared.

Now that Yang Jiao has returned, it is the perfect opportunity.

"This old minister has taken note."

Venus left the Lingxiao Palace and immediately went to the Peach Garden.

The Giant Spirit God still stood in the hall, awaiting the judgment of the Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian glanced at him.

"You reported this matter promptly; that's good."

"Let's return to Nantianmen and continue our duty."

"This humble general obeys the order!"

The giant spirit was overjoyed, picked up the Xuanhua axe, and left the main hall.

On the other side, Chen Changsheng was accompanying Yang Jiao on the Heavenly Cloud Path.

The closer Yang Jiao got to Yao Ji's residence, the slower his pace became.

He did not bow his head when facing the Western disciples on Mount Sumeru.

When he obtained the Black Lotus of Annihilation, he was merely shocked.

He was able to maintain proper etiquette even when facing the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect.

But now that he was about to see his mother, Yang Jiao's mind was in turmoil.

"Brother-in-law, how has Mother been these past few years?"

"very good."

Chen Changsheng answered very decisively.

"My mother-in-law has been restored to her status as the Heavenly Princess, and His Majesty is doing his best to make amends to her."

"Chan'er often comes to keep her company, and Second Brother also comes back when he has time."

"The only thing she can't let go of is you."

Yang Jiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will Mother be upset that I came back too late?"

"Big brother, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Changsheng stopped in his tracks.

"You were suppressed by the Western religion, not that you deliberately didn't come back."

"My mother-in-law has been waiting for you for so many years. She'll only be happy to see you. How could she possibly blame you?"

"If you really feel indebted, just spend more time with her in the future."

Yang Jiao took a deep breath and finally nodded.

"you're right."

"I'm back now, what's there to be afraid of?"

As the clouds dispersed, a serene and elegant celestial abode appeared before the two.

Several peach trees were planted beside the gate of the mansion, and the soft sound of a zither could be heard coming from inside the courtyard.

Upon hearing the music, Yang Jiao froze.

He had heard this piece of music countless times when he was a child.

It was the tune that Yao Ji played to lull her three siblings to sleep.

Chen Changsheng didn't say anything, but just stood with him outside the door.

At this moment, nothing is better than letting the mother and son meet in person.

Meanwhile, Venus had already retrieved three top-quality peaches from the Peach Garden.

Three peaches were placed on a purple-gold jade plate, their surfaces shimmering with celestial light, and their rich fruity aroma was sealed within the plate.

Venus, carrying a jade plate, rushed towards Yao Ji's residence.

He saw Chen Changsheng and Yang Jiao standing outside the gate when he was still a hundred feet away from the mansion.

Venus did not rush forward, but instead slowed down.

Yang Jiao had already reached the gate of the mansion.

Hearing the familiar piano music in the courtyard, he raised his right hand, wanting to knock on the door several times, but then stopped in mid-air.

Chen Changsheng stood behind him and whispered a reminder.

"Brother, your mother-in-law is inside."

Yang Jiao closed his eyes, finally suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and raised his hand to knock on the gate of the mansion.

"Mother, your child has returned."

"Crunch."

The music in the courtyard stopped abruptly.

The next moment, the mansion gate was suddenly pushed open by a gentle force of immortal energy.

A figure dressed in an elegant palace dress rushed out quickly; it was Yao Ji.

She stared blankly at Yang Jiao standing outside the door, her eyes first filled with confusion, then turning into unbelievable ecstasy.

"Jiao'er?"

Yao Ji's voice trembled; she could hardly believe her eyes.

"Is it really you, Jiao'er?"

Yang Jiao could no longer suppress his emotions, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

"Mother!"

He choked up, tears welling up in his eyes.

"It's your child! Your child has returned!"

Yao Ji trembled, tears instantly blurring her vision. She quickly stepped forward and embraced Yang Jiao tightly.

"My child... my child..."

Yao Ji wept uncontrollably, holding her eldest son, whom she had lost and then found again, with all her might, as if he would disappear again if she let go.

Yang Jiao hugged his mother tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, and let the grievances and longing that had been suppressed for countless years turn into hot tears.

Chen Changsheng stood quietly to the side, not disturbing the mother and son who were reunited after a long separation.

The family was finally reunited.

Just then, a gentle voice came from not far away.

"This old minister, Venus, greets the Princess and the Heavenly Emperor."

Venus, carrying a purple-gold jade plate, walked over with a smile on his face.

He first bowed to Yao Ji and Chen Changsheng, and then nodded kindly to Yang Jiao, who had just stood up.

"Greetings, Young Master Yang Jiao."

Yao Ji wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, supported Yang Jiao, and her face was still filled with excitement.

"Lord Taibai, what brings you here?"

Venus smiled and presented the jade plate in his hand.

"His Majesty was overjoyed to hear that Young Master Yang Jiao had returned safely, and specially ordered this old minister to come and offer his congratulations."

He lifted the seal on the jade plate, revealing three radiant peaches shimmering with divine light and swirling with rosy mist, their rich fragrance instantly filling the air.

"These are three top-grade peaches that ripen only once every nine thousand years."

Venus relayed Haotian's instructions word for word.

"His Majesty said that Young Master Yang Jiao has just escaped from danger and must be exhausted."

"This one will help you restore your vitality, young master."

"This one will help you solidify your foundation in Tao."

"This last one is for the eldest princess, to congratulate you and your son on your reunion."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ji's eyes reddened again.

Venus then added.

"His Majesty also said that he will not come in person to disturb your family reunion."

"These are things that he, as the uncle, should do."

These words, like a warm current, completely melted away the last trace of coldness in Yao Ji's heart.

Yang Jiao looked at the three legendary immortal fruits, then at his mother beside him who was crying tears of joy, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng also showed a relieved smile.

Haotian's uncle has finally done something decent for the family.
