"Old Lord, do you think True Lord Xiansheng is telling the truth?"
The Jade Emperor walked towards the Southern Heaven's Gate. The gods of the Heavenly Court swarmed towards Old Lord Taishang, wanting to get confirmation from him.
"Be careful."
Old Lord Taishang's expression was solemn. His divine will only detected two unfamiliar presences at the Southern Heaven's Gate, but Yang Jian said there were three.
Under such circumstances, either the unknown person was adept at concealing his aura and had already reached the level of transcendence, but in order to hide from him, the person had to be at the same level as him.
The other possibility was even more terrifying. The person he couldn't detect was much stronger than him, so he couldn't detect the other person's aura.
"Yes, Old Lord."
The gods of the Heavenly Court were all shocked. It was the first time they saw Old Lord Taishang show such an expression.
In other words, the people outside weren't from other worlds, but were also unparalleled experts.
"Taibai Jinxing, order the twenty-eight mansions to be ready to activate the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation at any time, in case Tripitaka and the Tempest Temple fight again."
The Jade Emperor, who was walking at the front, suddenly turned around and ordered Taibai Jinxing behind him.
In the current situation, the so-called foreign merchant groups were being polite and well-mannered. However, the Jade Emperor had to take precautions against any mishaps.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Taibai Jinxing nodded and turned into a beam of white light, flying towards the depths of the Heavenly Court.
"Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, inform the Three Pure Ones, Four Royals, Five Elders, Five Qi Perfected Lords, Barefoot Immortal, Nine Heavens Responding Thunder, and Tripitaka. Tell them that a Sage has come to visit the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court is holding a Saturn Peach Banquet and specially invited them."
After instructing Taibai Jinxing, the Jade Emperor took a few steps forward and stopped. He pondered for a moment before giving another order.
He had already seen the three figures outside the Southern Heaven's Gate. He had never seen them before, and when he closed his eyes, there were only two people in his divine will.
This was the first time such a strange situation had happened.
As the ruler of the Three Realms, even a Sage couldn't hide in front of him, but someone had broken the rules.
The Jade Emperor knew that the people in front of him were at least on par with the Three Pure Ones, or even surpassed a Sage.
According to Yang Jian's report, these three people were from another world.
They couldn't break free from their own world, while others entered theirs. This meant that their experts were weaker than the other side's experts.
Under such circumstances, the Jade Emperor had to gather all the experts of the Three Realms in the Heavenly Court, just in case.
"I am the lord of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
With a wave of his hand, the Jade Emperor dismissed the celestial soldiers and generals blocking Zhou Yang's path. The Southern Heavenly Gate's defense was like a paper wall. It could not stop Zhou Yang's group at all.
Right now, he still did not know the intentions of Zhou Yang's group, whether they were good or evil, so he might as well act a little more magnanimous and remove all these useless defenses.
"Old Lord, why can't our Spiritual Force detect the leader?"
The Heavenly Court's Gods lined up neatly behind the Jade Emperor all looked at Zhou Yang in shock. They couldn't believe that they could see an existence with their eyes, but not their Spiritual Force. They couldn't help but ask Old Lord Taishang.
If Zhou Yang wanted to assassinate them, wouldn't he be able to do so easily?
Moreover, an existence that could easily hide from their Spiritual Force meant that an expert of this level was at least a Sage.
"Old Lord, do you know them? Are they really from another world? "
"Old Lord, do you know of the existence of other worlds?"
"Why have we never heard of other worlds? Old Lord, will this trigger a war between the two worlds?"
… …
Streams of Spiritual Force continuously transmitted to Old Lord Taishang. If they only believed 30% of what Yang Jian said in the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches, then they believed 50% now.
50% was already a very high number for these Gods. Without seeing the existence of other worlds with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it 100%.
"Silence!"
Old Lord Taishang was already upset because of the appearance of Zhou Yang and the others. Now that the Heavenly Court's Spiritual Force kept echoing in his mind, he became even more irritated. He couldn't help but shout coldly.
Seeing that Old Lord Taishang was angry, the Heavenly Court's Gods all looked at each other, a hint of confusion flashing through their eyes. Old Lord Taishang was famous for his good temper in the Heavenly Court. Why did he get angry so easily today?
The Gods of the Three Realms could only suppress their doubts and carefully listen to the conversation between Zhou Yang and the Jade Emperor. They wanted to obtain some useful information from their conversation.
"I am Zhou Yang, the leader of this merchant group. I entered this world without the Jade Emperor's permission. Please forgive me."
Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, please come in."
The Jade Emperor was slightly taken aback, but his smile returned. He thought to himself, "So what if you came in? It's not like you sneaked into the Heavenly Court. Even if you did, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you given your strength."
"Please."
Zhou Yang looked at the confused Heavenly Court's Gods, and the smile on his face deepened.
"May I know which world you're from?"
When Zhou Yang and his companions arrived at the Jade Lake, the Jade Emperor kept ignoring them. Finally, after arranging their seats, the Jade Emperor could no longer hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Earth."
Zhou Yang smiled.
"Earth?"
The Heavenly Court's Gods looked like they didn't quite understand.
"Don't you know that there's a rebellion in your world, and there are many casualties?"
Zhou Yang saw that the Gods of the Three Realms were too embarrassed to ask, so he deliberately changed the topic.
"Rebellion? What rebellion? "
The Jade Emperor was confused.
He didn't see any rebellion.
"There's a huge rebellion among the monks in your world. Don't you know about it?"
Zhou Yang pretended to be surprised.
The Jade Emperor was speechless.
The Heavenly Court's Gods: "…"
"I'm deeply sorry about the rebellion in your world. We, the Wanjie Lou, will provide financial aid to your world to help you overcome this crisis."
"If your world needs military aid, we will also provide it to help you suppress the rebellion."
Because he had to pay attention to his words, Zhou Yang spoke slowly.
"What does Old Lord mean by that?"
As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, the Heavenly Court's Gods frowned. They analyzed Zhou Yang's words word by word. It was too profound, and they couldn't understand a few parts of it.
"I remember that they said that the Heavenly Court is a legal government, and should be like a country in the mortal world. They have absolute sovereignty over a country. In their eyes, the war between Tripitaka and the Tempest Temple is a rebellion."
Old Lord Taishang stroked his white beard and said hesitantly through his Divine Sense.
"Old Lord, what you said makes sense."
The Heavenly Court's Gods all nodded, and their gazes gathered on Old Lord Taishang.
"As for financial aid, it should be related to governing the country. Military aid is simple. It should be sending a certain number of experts to help us."
After Old Lord Taishang finished speaking, he felt sweat dripping down his back. It was too tiring.
Fortunately, when he was in the Lower Realm, he had gone down to preach and learned about the words Jingzhou, Jingzhou, and Jingzhou from the Confucian classics. He could roughly guess the meaning of economic aid based on the current situation.
"Do they mean that our world's Jingzhou … economic and military are not as good as theirs?"
The Clairaudient couldn't help but mutter.
The Jade Emperor was speechless.
"Old Lord, take out your wealth. When the banquet starts, everyone in the front row will get a Nine Transformation Golden Pill. I will compensate you. Erlang Shen, go to the Fifth Manor in the Lower Realm and pick all the ginseng fruits. Tell Great Deity Zhen Yuanzi that I owe him a favor. Chang 'e, find the Queen Mother of the West and ask her to bring me all the 9000-year-old Saturn Peaches …"
"South Pole Immortal Weng, go to Kunlun Mountain and talk to Yuanshi Tianzun about the situation here."
"God of Fortune, go inform Lingbao Tianzun about the situation here."
… …
"Everyone, take out all the immortal wine and spiritual fruits you have collected. Let the foreign daoists see our world's Jingzhou … economic and military."
After hearing Old Lord Taishang's explanation, the Jade Emperor's pride suffered a serious blow. It was fine if he lost face in his own world, but now he lost face in another world.
Even if he had to take out all his wealth, he had to show his face today.
Usually, it was the strong who helped the weak. Now that Zhou Yang wanted to help them, didn't that mean that the Heavenly Court was far weaker than them?
Although the Jade Emperor was extremely afraid of Zhou Yang's strength, and even vaguely felt that the strength of his world was inferior to Zhou Yang's world, why else could others enter their world, but they couldn't enter other people's world?
However, none of this was important. The Jade Emperor only knew that his heart had suffered a blow, and he wanted to regain his face.
"Jade Emperor, there's no need to be so nervous. Other than the strong helping the weak, friends can also help each other. I think they're putting us on the same level."
Old Lord Taishang thought for a moment.
If Zhou Yang really saw them as weak, they would have directly barged in at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Moreover, along the way, Zhou Yang didn't show any overbearing attitude.
"Then we have to show our sincerity. Old Lord, warn Buddha Tathagata and Tripitaka later, don't let them cause trouble. If they lose face here, it won't just be me who loses face."
The Jade Emperor shook his head at Old Lord Taishang. If they were to ridicule them, they would have to show a certain level of strength to prove that their side wasn't weak.
If they were placed on the same level, they would have to show a certain level of strength to prove that they were on the same level as Zhou Yang's side.
Old Lord Taishang was speechless.
