285: Chapter 285 Entering the Mortal World

"Let them go, I agree." Shi Yan waved his hand casually, his tone carrying the ease of someone who had everything under control.

Upon hearing these words, a flash of astonishment crossed Emperor Yao's face. He stepped forward half a pace, somewhat anxiously, and hurriedly asked:

"Heavenly Emperor, the Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth, the absolute separation of the immortal and Mortal, was a rule established by Emperor Zhuanxu back then. Why now... must we set such a precedent?"

Shi Yan chuckled upon hearing this, his expression completely unconcerned:

"If we completely Seal the cultivation base of both of them, how would they differ from ordinary Mortal men and women? Since they have become Mortals without a shred of Divine Ability, how could they possibly affect the lives of Mortals?"

"Besides..." Shi Yan paused, his silver eyes fixed on the layer of Profound Yellow Qi above the Mortal Domain, and said:

"The Human Dao is constantly watching over the territory of the Human Race. With it watching, they cannot do anything out of line."

"Furthermore, you have brought that kid Yang Tianyou up for so many years. Do you not even trust your own Disciple's Heart-Nature?"

Emperor Yao frowned slightly. Having been a teacher for so many years and having taught countless generations of students, he had ultimately developed a stubborn personality:

"The logic holds, but... the immortal and Mortal are ultimately different..."

"Only this once, and it will not be taken as a precedent." Shi Yan reined in the slight mockery at the corner of his mouth, his expression becoming a bit more solemn:

"Moreover, Emperor Yao, based on Princess Longji's status alone, provided that her cultivation base is Sealed, she is qualified to go to the Mortal Domain."

The Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth was to prevent Cultivators from interfering with the development of Mortal society using their own great power.

As long as you agree to Seal your cultivation base and act only as an ordinary citizen, without taking civil service exams or participating in state policy, Shi Yan would agree even for a common clansman.

It is just that once one has power, a normal person would not want to return to a life of manual labor.

Hearing the Heavenly Emperor mention Princess Longji's status, Emperor Yao finally sighed and cupped his hands, saying: "Since the Heavenly Emperor has already made a decision, then everything shall be according to the Heavenly Emperor's will."

"Go." Shi Yan waved his hand, and his figure turned into wisps of light, vanishing into the Inner Cave Heaven out of thin air.

After Shi Yan left, Emperor Yao stood alone in the nothingness of the Inner Cave Heaven for a long time. Eventually, he sent out a voice transmission that pierced through layers of spatial Restrictions and reached the Red Cloud Sea of Fire Cloud Cave.

At that time, above the Red Cloud Sea of Fire Cloud Cave, immortal mist swirled, and auspicious clouds steamed.

Yang Tianyou was playing in the sea of clouds with Princess Longji.

Princess Longji, in a silk dress, stepped on the Void Realm, her crisp laughter rippling through the clouds.

Yang Tianyou followed by her side with a smile, his eyes filled with inseparable tenderness and longing.

Suddenly, a majestic yet gentle voice boomed in Yang Tianyou's mind:

"Tianyou, bring Princess Longji to see me."

Yang Tianyou's figure paused slightly. He hurriedly restrained his playful demeanor, bowed slightly toward the void, and respectfully replied: "Yes, teacher."

Princess Longji noticed the change in Yang Tianyou and drifted back to his side. Her slender fingers gently tucked her hair, and her eyes held a hint of confusion: "Tianyou, what's wrong?"

"Teacher sent a voice transmission, asking us to go over there." Yang Tianyou looked at Princess Longji and said softly.

"Senior Emperor Yao is looking for us?" Princess Longji blinked, a trace of nervousness appearing in her heart out of nowhere.

As Yang Tianyou's teacher, seeing Emperor Yao after falling in love with Yang Tianyou always felt a bit like meeting parents and elders.

Although they had met many times in this capacity, every time they met, there was still...

Yang Tianyou saw Princess Longji's nervousness. He reached out, held her jade hand tightly, and signaled with a gentle smile that it was okay.

Princess Longji felt the warmth coming from her hand, her heart gradually calmed down, and she nodded: "Tianyou, let's go quickly."

The two turned into rays of light, and before long, they entered the core area of the academy.

The interior of the academy was simple and grand, with the holy aura of humanity surging like a great river.

Passing through layers of corridors, the two arrived at the core. They pushed open the hall doors.

"Disciple pays respects to teacher." Yang Tianyou bowed.

"Longji pays respects to Senior Emperor Yao." Princess Longji also performed a graceful salute.

Emperor Yao sat on the high platform, his slightly closed eyes slowly opening and falling upon the beautiful couple in front of him. His expression was calm, without a word of nonsense, and he went straight to the point:

"Tianyou, regarding the matter you requested of me earlier, I have already informed the Heavenly Emperor. Your request to enter the Mortal Domain to experience the Mortal World... has been approved."

"Really?!" Yang Tianyou's body shook, his eyes suddenly bursting with a brilliant light, his face full of unbelievable surprise, and he was even so excited that his voice carried a trace of trembling.

"It is absolutely true. Would I lie to you?"

Seeing his Disciple's unpromising appearance, Emperor Yao shook his head helplessly, though a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Yay! That's great!" Yang Tianyou couldn't help but clench his fist, almost jumping up.

Amidst the excitement, Emperor Yao's expression gradually composed itself, turning solemn and dignified.

He turned his head, his deep gaze looking directly at Princess Longji on the side, and said in a deep voice:

"Princess Longji, the Mortal Domain is the Foundation of our Human Race, where Luck intertwines and the rules are strict."

"If you wish to go with Tianyou, in order not to disturb the customs of the Mortal World, I must impose a Restriction to Seal your cultivation base and Divine Ability, turning you completely into an ordinary woman. Are you... willing?"

Princess Longji had already known about this, so she was prepared. She tilted her head, looked at her excited partner beside her, and showed a sweet smile.

Turning back to look at Emperor Yao, she nodded slightly without hesitation: "I understand the rules here. I agree to Seal my cultivation base and enter the Mortal World."

Seeing Princess Longji agree so decisively, a look of approval could not help but appear in Emperor Yao's eyes.

"Good." Emperor Yao replied in a deep voice, then slowly stood up.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the vast Human Race Luck and Law intertwined into two extremely profound crimson-gold runes, which instantly submerged into the space between the eyebrows of Yang Tianyou and Princess Longji.

Boom! As the runes entered their bodies, Princess Longji felt her entire cultivation base rapidly sinking into silence, and her perception of the world's Laws and Spiritual Qi was decreasing visibly to the naked eye.

In just a breath's time, her aura plummeted, her Immortal Qi dissipated, and except for her expression and temperament, everything else became indistinguishable from an ordinary Mortal woman.

Yang Tianyou, who was beside her, was the same; the power flowing through his body was Sealed tightly, making him look like an ordinary Mortal, a refined scholar.

"Alright, it is done." After Emperor Yao finished all this, he looked at the two, his voice carrying a hint of admonition, "Upon entering the Mortal World, you must follow the way of Mortals. Do not be reckless, and do not force things."

"Disciple will keep teacher's teachings in mind!" Yang Tianyou took Princess Longji's hand and bowed deeply.

"Go." Emperor Yao said no more and gently flicked his wide sleeves.

In an instant, a gentle yet irresistible force enveloped the two. The stars shifted, and the heavens and earth spun.
