Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 82 The Root of Chaos

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit noticed Yang Jian's unusual behavior.

She knew this matter had to be resolved properly, otherwise it might leave a mental block, becoming an insurmountable obstacle on her path.

"Don't worry, your master will stand up for you! Let's go down and see what trouble they can cause."

The Holy Mother Jinling rode her seven-fragrant chariot, carrying Yang Jian and Yu Hua, flying towards the area below the Star-Picking Tower.

We got close enough that we were in mid-air.

Yang Jian felt as if he had bumped into a warm wall.

A stench, accompanied by a cacophony of noise, assaulted my senses, making me feel as if I'd been punched hard in the head, leaving me dizzy.

Looking down.

All sorts of creatures are crammed here.

Most of them were in a near-human shape, indicating that they were not very skilled in shapeshifting techniques.

Most of them were like Yu Hua, with blue faces, fangs, and gaping mouths.

Even worse, some are covered in fur and armor, and smell terrible.

Yang Jian now understood why Yuanshi Tianzun looked down on these guys in the Investiture of the Gods story.

One look at them is enough to make one's stomach rumble; if one were to collect them all, one would be utterly disgusted!

At the same time, he felt an increasing respect for the Tongtian Sect Leader. Among these beings, even those with high cultivation levels had no intention of transcending the mundane world, yet he still wanted to educate them and guide them toward the Dao.

The many second-generation disciples did not show any dislike for these disciples; in fact, they even gave them sermons.

It truly is a case of education for all.

The many creatures below saw the Seven Fragrances Chariot in mid-air.

They immediately recognized it as the carriage of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.

The room immediately erupted in noise.

The bolder ones even used their escape light to fly to the same height as the Seven Fragrances Carriage and peer inside.

Upon seeing Yang Jian, they instantly bared their teeth and made threatening noises.

"These fellow disciples look incredibly fierce!"

Yang Jian sighed.

"Third Uncle, they're smiling at you!"

Yu Hua explained quietly, and when he saw Yang Jian turn around in surprise, he quickly forced a smile onto his face.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs that gleamed coldly, like a series of sharp daggers.

Indeed, its smile was just as terrifying as that of some unknown being outside.

Yang Jian's hair stood on end.

He suddenly realized something and reminded him, "Master, there must be someone behind this, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a huge uproar in just one day."

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit looked at Yang Jian with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. It's good that you thought of this instead of acting rashly and rushing to have your master avenge you!"

The current commotion must be related to the magic weapon that Senior Brother Duobao is supposed to refine tomorrow. It seems someone doesn't want this treasure to be successfully refined, which is why they're creating trouble now to try and hold me back.

Yang Jian thought to himself, "I hate them so much I want to unleash the Immortal Execution Mark and slaughter them all."

The essence he can absorb at that time will probably be enough to directly push him to the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But this is just wishful thinking. Even if he were to unleash the Immortal Slaughtering Mark, the Tongtian Sect Master would absolutely not attack his Jie Sect disciples.

Yang Jian was very curious about the magical artifact that the Holy Mother Jinling had mentioned.

But the Golden Spirit Mother smiled mysteriously, saying that Yang Jian would know the truth the day he mastered the technique.

More and more creatures rose into the air from all around, forming a vast, dark mass that surrounded the Seven Fragrances Carriage.

"Are you trying to incite a disturbance with your actions? Disperse immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit flew out of the carriage, her voice deepening.

Apart from the sect leader, the only three people in the Jie Sect stronger than her are Fairy Yunxiao, Daoist Duobao, and Zhao Gongming.

If we can't deal with them, we can't deal with you either!

"We want to see Yang Jian! Lady Yunxiao says Yang Jian is the most beautiful woman in the Jie Sect, and she admits defeat. Let Yang Jian come out and show everyone."

"Yunxiao is talking nonsense, don't believe her. Yang Jian is my male disciple!"

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"The Holy Mother occupies a high position and earns a fortune every day by taking on a disciple. She has received countless rare and precious treasures. How could she understand the difficulties of us disciples at the bottom?"

Those second-generation disciples gave your disciple named Yang Jian a gift, and then immediately took it back from us disciples who had no backing.

Currently, everyone is imitating you in accepting apprentices and gifts, and this trend is only getting stronger.

We beg the Holy Mother to have mercy and give us a way to live.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit looked closely at the speaker and found that he was standing behind the crowd. He was short in stature and wore a magical bamboo hat, so his face could not be seen.

The other party's words were truly terrifying, and they were trying to sow discord between the third-generation disciples and the second-generation disciples.

If this is not curbed, great chaos will ensue.

"Who are you? Since you dare to stand up, why hide your face? If you want justice, then show yourself openly. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I won't do anything to you. Unless—"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit paused abruptly halfway through her sentence, her aura surging, unleashing the full power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Many creatures in the vicinity were unable to fly and fell to the ground one by one, pressed down by the powerful aura and unable to move.

"Unless you're trying to sow discord and deliberately alienate my fellow disciples!"

Six gold hairpins jingled on the back of her head, adorning her dark hair.

The next moment, six golden rays shot out simultaneously, pointing towards the forehead of the person wearing the bamboo hat.

The six golden hairpins are actually six top-grade acquired spiritual treasures—the Flying Golden Swords.

A terrifying pressure descended, and the rampant Gengjin sword energy on the Flying Gold Sword caused the surrounding creatures to cast spells to protect themselves.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was a kind person and had never made a move in public for tens of thousands of years.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten how high his cultivation level and how strong his combat power were.

Only when her sword light was revealed did many living beings recall the terror of the Golden Spirit Mother.

One by one, fear and regret arose in their hearts.

Even though most of them had achieved great success in their cultivation and were at the level of human immortals, they trembled under the immense power of the Golden Spirit Mother and almost fled.

The creature in the straw hat, being watched by the Golden Spirit Mother, could no longer withstand the pressure and knelt down.

"Holy Mother, please spare me! My words came from the bottom of my heart, and I had no intention of provoking anyone."

The creature in the straw hat hurriedly begged for mercy, its hands trembling as it removed the hat, revealing a handsome young face.

The Golden Spirit Mother looked at the somewhat familiar face and her expression turned cold: "I recognize you. You are the attendant of Junior Sister Shiji. Who instructed you? Speak up and I will uphold justice for you."

"Holy Mother, please be aware that I am the attendant of Lady Shiji, with the Dharma name Biyun. No one forced me. What I just said was from the bottom of my heart. Most of my fellow disciples here were forced to gather here. Although they said they wanted to teach Holy Mother's disciple a lesson, they were actually just seeking justice. Biyun spoke up for the sake of the future of the Jie Sect."

Biyun Tongzi hurriedly defended himself.

Golden Spirit Mother frowned in thought. Since the construction of the Star-Picking Tower three hundred years ago, the disciples of the Intercepting Sect have suffered from oppression.

Duobao Daoren suppressed and exploited his many disciples for three hundred years.

Most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were originally wild and unruly, and her taking Yang Jian as a disciple and then taking advantage of him became the fuse for this chaos.

This matter is of utmost importance; if handled carelessly, the hearts and minds of the Jie Sect, which have been painstakingly gathered together, will be scattered.

She cannot make decisions on her own; she must consult with her senior brother, Duobao, before making a decision.

Thinking of this, she said, "You may all disperse for now. I will certainly uphold justice for you. Please wait for me to discuss this with Senior Brother Duobao."

With this promise from the Holy Mother Jinling, the disciples of the Jie Sect who had gathered there dispersed in twos and threes.

In the end, only Biyun Tongzi remained kneeling on the ground.

He knew that although he had made his voice heard and achieved his goal, he had also offended many second-generation disciples, including the Golden Spirit Mother.

The many second-generation disciples who were watching coldly from the sidelines were already burning with rage, wishing they could kill him.

Biyun Tongzi sensed his impending doom, so he naturally dared not leave, much less seek out his master, Shiji Niangniang.

Lady Shiji said that she was about to be entrusted with an important task by Daoist Duobao, and she would certainly not want to cause any trouble. In order to reduce the impact, she might even kill him directly to apologize to his fellow disciples.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit looked at the reluctance of the Jade Cloud Boy and questioned, "Why won't you leave?"

Biyun Boy looked around, then kowtowed heavily, his head hitting the ground with a muffled thud: "Please forgive my rudeness, Holy Mother. Biyun had absolutely no intention of offending you."

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit looked around and spotted several fellow disciples with murderous intent, and she understood what was going on.

She said loudly, "You should calm down. Before this matter is resolved, absolutely no one will dare to touch you in the slightest. Otherwise, my flying golden sword will show no mercy."

With the guarantee of the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, Biyun Tongzi was finally relieved.

He got up and left.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was preparing to leave with Yang Jian.

A voice suddenly sounded behind me.

Several second-generation disciples who had been watching earlier flew over.

Thank you to reader 20180613132502354 for the monthly pass.

Thank you all for your votes.

Regarding the issue of feeling that someone else should write it.

The main issue is that the current storyline allocates relatively little screen time to Yang Jian.

The next chapter will improve.
