The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha

Chapter 644 533: Investigating the Case

Sun Wukong carried a burden... oh, no, it was a Deer Demon who cried all the way to the Heaven Palace.

Since Hao Tian returned to his position, the gatekeeping Heavenly Soldiers have reverted to their usual laziness, after all, there's no hope for the future, might as well enjoy the present.

Then they saw Sun Wukong covered in blood arriving. The monkey was quite intimidating for these Heavenly Soldiers. After all, not just anyone could earn the title of Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

An older Heavenly Soldier, sensing something amiss, said, 'Hold on, I will report this,' and ran without looking back.

The younger Heavenly Soldiers grumbled inwardly but maintained a smiling face.

"Oh, Great Sage, what... what is going on here?"

Sun Wukong knew this matter was surely related to the Heavenly Court, but it had nothing to do with this little Heavenly Soldier, because this guy was too weak, utterly worthless.

"I want to see the Jade Emperor!"

The young Heavenly Soldier saw that Sun Wukong was rational, not knocking him out with a single strike, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great Sage, this way, please, this way!"

Ever since the Jade Emperor returned, salaries haven't been paid, why risk one's life?

Sun Wukong didn't make it difficult for the Heavenly Soldiers, carrying the Deer Demon and charged in, while the older Heavenly Soldier was still running inside, only to see a monkey carrying someone rushing past him.

Because of the sheer speed, he got splashed with blood.

Monkey directly reached the Palace of the Polestar, Nezha had already retreated with his group, and the one in power was still Hao Tian's avatar as the Jade Emperor. Though his true form had advanced to the cultivation of Corpse Cutting.

But the rebellion of Yin Zhuo King had caused him enormous damage, and the impact was irreversible, the loss of origin wasn't like an injury, repairable with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and time.

He could recover seventy percent, the remaining thirty percent wouldn't be regained in his lifetime without refining Yin Zhuo King.

Currently, Hao Tian was indeed at Corpse Cutting cultivation, the first under the Primordial Saint, yet his actual combat strength was weaker than before.

He's now desperately trying to recover Yin Zhuo King, but during the sealing, he didn't know that Yin Zhuo King was almost killed by Nezha with an axe, so even if recovered, he couldn't compensate for the lost origin.

To put it another way, Nezha's one axe back then chopped away Hao Tian's path forward, a pity Hao Tian was unaware.

Whether there's a way to restore, maybe, maybe not, hope is slim.

The path for this always ambitious Emperor Hao Tian was blocked, and this was Heaven's Will.

Hao Tian was constantly pondering how to deal with Yin Zhuo King, so it's the Corpse-cutting Avatar Jade Emperor presiding over the Heavenly Court.

Hao Tian didn't care about the favor sought by Sun Wukong to escape back then, but the Jade Emperor remembered it.

So he wasn't angry at Sun Wukong's rude appearance, but said instead, "Using a child's heart for longevity is indeed a demonic act, Wukong rest assured this matter will be thoroughly investigated."

Sun Wukong didn't quite believe it.

"Old Jade Emperor, this demon claims a deep background, what if you cover for it? Worse yet, what if you're an accomplice?"

Sun Wukong's words made the Jade Emperor awkwardly laugh.

"You monkey head, as Jade Emperor, what in the Three Realms isn't at my disposal?"

"I've endured countless tribulations, cultivated numerous Yuan Hui, gained immeasurable Merit, only to reach today, why would I need any method of extending my lifespan?"

The surrounding Immortals quickly concurred, oh yes, yes indeed, your ascension as the Heavenly Emperor has absolutely nothing to do with background.

Sun Wukong paused for a moment, feeling the Jade Emperor was boasting: "This demon claims his master hails from the Chan Sect, being a Saint's disciple, what's the story here?"

Hao Tian has always been at odds with Yuanshi Tianzun, perhaps due to like-repelling-like, so he couldn't possibly cover for Chan Sect, and indeed this matter truly wasn't related to Chan Sect.

"Then shall we leave the choice of who investigates this case to you?"

Sun Wukong instinctively thought of his senior brother, but upon reflection, his senior brother was at the level of a Heavenly Emperor, having him conduct an investigation would be like using massive talent for minor tasks.

Hence he proposed a suitable candidate, which was Three-eyed Yang Jian. Although he felt he might conflict with Three-eyed, he greatly acknowledged Three-eyed's abilities.

"I think Three-eyed Yang Jian is a good choice."

The Jade Emperor didn't immediately agree but counter-questioned: "Are you sure? Yang Jian is both my nephew and from the Chan Sect, once the first of Chan Sect's third generation, aren't you afraid he'll cover for the Chan Sect?"

For the young Sun Wukong, the three sects of Jie, Chan, and Ren were quite unfamiliar, but upon learning Yang Jian was of the Chan Sect's third generation, he finally understood the strength of such a Great Sect.

Being able to cultivate someone like Three-eyed, this Chan Sect was indeed impressive.

"No need to change, I think Three-eyed is just fine."

Actually, the Jade Emperor had already discussed this matter with Nezha, and the person Sun Wukong chose was perfect.

Yang Jian, courageous and meticulous, both brave and wise, with deep background and powerful mana, was definitely a good choice.

Jade Emperor wrote the decree, and old messenger Gold Star Taibai went to the Mortal World, Wudang Mountain to bring Yang Jian.

Yang Jian also possessed a strong sense of justice, upon hearing of the matter, he didn't reject his old uncle's decree, and set off with Sun Wukong to handle the case.

Their first destination was the Longevity Star Palace.

Lately, the Longevity Star was living a lavish life, using Lifespan Extension Pills to open up connections, gaining money, prestige, and connections, life became greater again, as if everything had returned to when he was still a Chan Sect's senior brother.

Oh, no, even more splendid, because he's now freer!

Yang Jian ordered his personal soldiers to directly surround the Longevity Hall, while he himself rushed in with Sun Wukong.

Most mortals wish for longevity, but those who truly have succeeded in cultivation wouldn't be bound by lifespan!

Therefore, the Longevity Star's role looked impressive but wasn't as great as imagined, no matter how long your lifespan, a stab would still kill you.

So who are those wishing for longevity? Young people don't need it, it's those elderly who can enjoy their later years.

In modern times, how many elderly can enjoy their later years? Let alone in the Primordial era.

Thus, this wasn't a lucrative position, choosing this initially was due to Nanji Immortal not caring for the Heavenly Court, merely holding a position to deal with his teacher.

Yang Jian and Sun Wukong entered and sensed the difference inside and outside, the outside Longevity Hall looked ordinary, similar to other palaces, but inside was filled with Immortal Spirit Qi, decorated with gemstones and spirit plants elegantly. It's something ordinary Immortals could not afford.

Old Longevity Star sensed someone arriving and rushed out, to find it was Yang Jian and Sun Wukong.

He warmly said, "Nephew Yang and Great Sage come so energetically to my Longevity Hall, what brings you here?"
