Chương 218: The Birth of Longji

Once the oath was made, their forms of address changed. However, whenever Fang Yang heard the Jade Emperor address him, he always had the illusion that he had become Tang Sanzang (the monk in Journey to the West).

Fang Yang's decision to become sworn brothers with the Jade Emperor was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it was definitely the result of careful consideration.

A single tree cannot make a forest. Even Zhenyuan Daxian, Dijun, and Jieyin Shengren all need the support of fellow Daoists, and Fang Yang is no exception.

By becoming sworn brothers with the Jade Emperor, Fang Yang gained two powerful figures, the Jade Emperor and the Holy Mother of Yaochi, as his allies. In the future, when he engages in the struggle for the Great Dao with others, he will have sufficiently strong support.

Moreover, Fang Yang was also preparing to cultivate the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The only complete Zhou Tian Star Array in the world is controlled by the Heavenly Court. Fang Yang can take this opportunity to enter the Zhou Tian Star Array and personally experience its profound mysteries.

In short, becoming sworn brothers with the Jade Emperor brings countless benefits to Fang Yang.

Meanwhile, the Jade Emperor himself felt he had made a profit.

Fang Yang's rapid attainment of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm in such a short time demonstrates his immense potential. Even if Fang Yang only has a one in a trillion chance of achieving the Hunyuan realm, the Jade Emperor will still grasp at this lifeline.

The Jade Emperor's ambition was very lofty; to become a Holy Heavenly Emperor and stand shoulder to shoulder with saints was his lifelong pursuit.

With Fang Yang's assistance, his dream is very likely to come true.

Just then, a burst of rosy light rose from the direction of Yaochi, followed by a clear cry of an infant echoing through the heavens.

Golden lotuses bloomed in the void, their sweet fragrance filling every corner of the Heavenly Court. Above the Jade Pool, the phantom of a golden phoenix appeared, circling the beams with a clear and melodious voice.

"She's given birth!"

Haotian was overjoyed. He greeted Fang Yang, "Royal Brother, come with me to see Longji!"

Longji was the name given by the Jade Emperor to his daughter. The fact that his daughter had a name even before she was born shows how much the Jade Emperor valued her.

"it is good."

Fang Yang nodded slightly, and together with the Jade Emperor, they transformed into two streams of light and instantly arrived at the Jade Pool.

Within the Jade Pool, rosy clouds swirled and celestial mists swirled. The Holy Mother of the Jade Pool sat regally on her phoenix throne, cradling a beautifully sculpted baby girl in her arms.

The baby girl had her eyes closed, her breathing even, and a faint celestial light surrounded her. A vermilion dot between her brows seemed to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

A lotus platform blooms in the Heavenly Pool, emanating a rich innate spiritual energy. This lotus platform is the innate precious lotus that gave birth to Princess Longji.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi was no ordinary person; she didn't need to carry a child for ten months. She simply entrusted her own essence to the treasure, and could easily conceive offspring.

"Senior brother, Vice Leader Fang."

The Holy Mother of Yaochi looked up and saw that the Jade Emperor had actually brought other people with him, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The Jade Emperor, beaming with joy, strode forward, his tone brimming with pride: "Junior Sister, great news! I have just become sworn brothers with Fellow Daoist Fang Yang. From now on, he will be my Heavenly Court's most reliable ally, and also Long Ji's uncle."

The Jade Emperor did not have that kind of relationship with the Holy Mother of the Jade Pool; they simply cooperated to create offspring.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Yaochi was taken aback, then turned her gaze to Fang Yang, her expression instantly becoming clear: "I see. Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Vice Master Fang."

Fang Yang nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Senior Sister, you're too kind. I apologize for my intrusion.

He had already sworn brotherhood with the Jade Emperor, which meant that his seniority in the Heavenly Court would be a generation higher. Since the Holy Mother of Yaochi's cultivation was higher than Fang Yang's, Fang Yang addressed her as Senior Sister.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi smiled faintly, a hint of approval flashing in her phoenix eyes: "Junior brother, you are too kind. Since we are one of our own, there is no need for such presumption."

The Jade Emperor approached the phoenix throne, his gaze fixed on the baby, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "After waiting for 108, 000 years, Longji has finally been born."

Longji was a divine fetus, and the gestation period for divine fetuses is usually over ten thousand years. Princess Longji was born after a hundred thousand years, so her qualities are indeed extraordinary.

The Jade Emperor carefully picked up Longji, his movements gentle, as if afraid of disturbing her. The old father looked at his daughter with increasing joy.

Princess Longji will be the future face of Heaven.

Fang Yang looked up, gazing towards the celestial void. There, a red star emitted a faint glow.

He recognized the star; it was the Red Crescent.

The crescent moon symbolizes marriage, and at this moment, the starlight shining on the Jade Pool clearly corresponds to the infant Longji.

Fang Yang's gaze narrowed slightly; Princess Longji was indeed destined for a love tribulation. In the primordial timeline, Princess Longji had perished within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"Brother, look at the Red Phoenix Star. My niece Longji is not yet here; it seems she has a love tribulation to overcome."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor followed Fang Yang's gaze and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, he saw the Red Phoenix Star shining brightly.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi also raised her eyes to look at Hongluanxing, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed: "A love tribulation? How is that possible?"

Fang Yang spoke calmly and unhurriedly: "Long Ji's destiny is extremely noble, destined to be involved in the fortunes of the three realms. The tribulation of love is a tribulation she is destined to suffer."

The more auspicious one's destiny is at birth, the more likely they are to encounter calamities.

The sons of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, the daughter of Emperor Fuxi, Mi Fei, the daughter of Emperor Shennong, Nüwa, the daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan... which one of them did not encounter calamities?

Even the crown prince of the Wu tribe, Changqin, faces a significant calamity.

Imagine this: the vast majority of immortals in the world have cultivated themselves step by step. These princes and princesses, however, possess extremely high cultivation levels from birth. If Heaven doesn't subject them to some tribulation, it would violate the principle of Heaven's impartiality.

The Jade Emperor's face darkened, and his imperial aura trembled slightly: "In that case, we must find a way to sever Longji's romantic ties."

Fang Yang understood this principle, and the Jade Emperor certainly knew it too. However, since it concerned his own daughter, the Jade Emperor harbored some wishful thinking.

Fang Yang shook his head: "Since it is a tribulation, it must be experienced. Forcibly severing the roots of affection goes against the Great Dao and will only sow the seeds of greater hidden dangers."

He looked at Princess Longji sleeping soundly in her arms, his tone solemn: "This tribulation is an inevitable hurdle on her path to enlightenment; she cannot avoid it, she can only overcome it."

Haotian's expression grew increasingly solemn: "That's indeed the case. Back then, even Changxi, the Moon Goddess, couldn't overcome her love tribulation. Longji, she..."'

"It's not that it can't be resolved."

A confident smile suddenly appeared on Fang Yang's face.

All the emotional tribulations in the world are caused by lovers being too obsessed and unrepentant, which leads to an uncontrollable situation.

Bai Suzhen could have reported Fahai to the authorities for illegal detention, but she chose not to and instead flooded Jinshan Temple.

After Yao Ji was caught in a love tribulation, she knew she was incapable of protecting her children, yet she still insisted on having children.

These lovers are so out of their minds.

To change Princess Longji's future, all that is needed is for her to have a mature mind, and she will naturally be able to resolve her calamities.

Both the Jade Emperor and the Holy Mother of the Jade Pool were taken aback, their eyes filled with doubt: "How can this be resolved?"

Fang Yang's gaze fell on the baby in the swaddling clothes, and he said in a low voice, "Seal Long Ji's physical body and send her primordial spirit into the mortal world, so that she can experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. As long as she experiences enough love, hate, and grudges, she will surely be able to break through the barriers of love and overcome the tribulations of love."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor and the Holy Mother of Yaochi's eyes lit up.

Yes, they are all highly skilled in supernatural abilities, possessing boundless magical power. With their cultivation levels, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

Rather than letting Princess Longji be born as an immortal, it would be better to let her go through three calamities and six tribulations, and return to the Heavenly Court when the tribulations are over.

In that case, what are they afraid of in matters of the heart?
