Even if he was among the immortals in the Jade Pool, Yuan Ling would have no choice but to surrender if Heavenly Lord Longevity of the South attacked. Moreover, he had three stars, Fortune, Lushou, and Longevity, and could suppress Primordial Demon with just a drop of a coin.
However, although the Jade Emperor seemed to be in charge of the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Realms, each Immortal Sect was different and had different thoughts. It was not that simple, and no one wanted to be the first one to stand out.
For example, in the distant past, the lawless monkey almost destroyed the entire Heavenly Court when he was merely a Primordial Unity Xuan Immortal. He even boasted that the Jade Emperor would take turns to be the next emperor, and today, he would come to his house.
Was there no Immortal who could subdue that monkey?
No, it was not that there were no Immortals who could subdue that monkey. It was just that the monkey had a powerful background and they could not afford to offend him.
One had to know that the monkey was formed from the Five-Colored Divine Stone, and the Five-Colored Divine Stone was something that Goddess Nuwa had left behind in the Earth Immortal Realm. This monkey was also the disciple of Patriarch Bodhi. Who could afford to offend it?
After the monkey was conferred the title of Fighting Immortal Buddha, his cultivation had reached an unimaginable level in the past tens of thousands of years. No one in the Three Realms dared to offend the orthodoxy of Mount Huaguo alone.
Although the topic was a little off topic, it also proved that Immortals only cared about their own business. They were deeply afraid of making a mistake and falling into karma. If they died, wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain?
"Look, that Daoist is attacking!"
When the Jade Pool fell into silence, Ye Xuan finally attacked Yuan Ling in the Heaven Mirror.
At this moment!
The thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were retreating in defeat. Li Jing was also struggling to resist. Ye Xuan had wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but he did not expect these Immortals to be so weak.
Seeing that Yuan Ling was about to break free, how could Ye Xuan let him escape so easily?
"Die!"
Ye Xuan waved the Soul Subduing Banner, and the Grand Unity Immortal Light descended. He once again engaged in a fierce battle with Yuan Ling.
"Quick, help this Daoist kill Primordial Devil."
Li Jing's spirit was roused as he hurriedly called for the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions to cooperate with Ye Xuan to attack Yuan Ling once again.
Rumble!
The celestial light split the sky, and the firmament cracked. This battle shook the 33 heavens. If it were not for the existence of the Heaven-protecting Formation in the Heaven Realm, the power of the two Primordial Unity Xuan Immortals alone would have been enough to turn the void thousands of miles into ashes.
"Soul Destruction Guide!"
"Immortal Transformation Art!"
The Bronze Celestial Sutra and the Soul Suppressing Banner collided. It was as if two primordial divine mountains were colliding. The resplendent and terrifying Celestial Light covered the two of them, and the aftershock of the power sent Li Jing and the 28 Mansions flying.
The celestial light was so dazzling that they couldn't see clearly what was happening. The Jade Lake's celestial beings stared at the Divine Mirror, wondering what the outcome of this battle would be.
At this moment!
In the turbulent celestial light, Ye Xuan and Yuan Ling were covered. Yuan Ling laughed sinisterly and said in a cold and strange voice, "Ye Xuan, I can tell you that the Earth Immortal Realm is very big, and there are many things that you can't imagine. Do you really think that the celestial beings of the Heaven Realm can represent the entire Earth Immortal Realm?"
"I can tell you that Yuan Ling is just an imprint of my Primordial Spirit. If my real body appeared here, the so-called celestial beings of the Heaven Realm would have to respectfully address me as Patriarch. If I wasn't afraid of attracting the attention of the Three Pure Ones, how could I allow you to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
"I'll let you win by half a move today, but don't be too proud. The game of Heaven and Earth has just begun, and you and I will meet again in the future."
Yuan Ling smiled coldly as a speck of celestial light rippled out from Primordial Devil's body. It quickly merged into the void and completely disappeared before Ye Xuan's eyes.
…
The celestial clouds in the Nine Heavens rumbled.
Flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses bloomed on the ground.
In a vast and boundless Dao field, a green-robed Daoist sat cross-legged above the Nine Heavens, emitting unimaginable celestial light. His body was hazy and illusory, but the sound of the Great Dao kept coming from his mouth.
Below the Daoist, the celestial beings of Heaven and Earth were listening to the Daoist's teachings. There were also eight Demon Kings kowtowing respectfully, and the Golden-Winged Roc prostrating its wings to express its respect for the Daoist.
All of a sudden!
A beam of celestial light streaked across the void and merged into the Daoist's glabella. His aura stopped, and his face turned slightly red. A trace of golden blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but it quickly disappeared. However, the scripture in his mouth also stopped abruptly, waking the celestial beings and Demon Kings below from their Dao voices.
"The 3,000-year meeting has passed. All of you can leave," the Daoist said calmly.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
The celestial beings retreated, and the Demon Kings kowtowed. The Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings and soared 90,000 kilometers into the sky, leaving the Dao field.
"Ye Xuan, my good disciple, when we meet again, will you be able to recognize me?" The Daoist spoke gently, but his voice contained a cold and stern intent. He slowly disappeared above the nine heavens.
The Daoist's external incarnation used the Heaven Evasion Technique to escape, which caused the Daoist's heart and soul to be severely injured. However, the Daoist's greatest unwillingness was to be destroyed by Ye Xuan after ten thousand years of planning.
…
The Heaven Realm, the 33 Heavens.
Ye Xuan stared fixedly at the Essence Demon's body, emitting an aura that kept people away. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for killing the Essence Demon. This is a great merit. His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely." Li Jing laughed loudly as he walked over. Behind him were the 28 Lunar Mansions, and they were greeting Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not respond at all. He strolled to the Essence Demon's body, picked up the bronze scripture that had fallen to the ground, and then quickly put it into the Sumeru Space. He became even more silent.
Ye Xuan had always thought that Yuan Ling was a remnant soul that existed in the world. As long as he destroyed his remnant soul, he would be able to sit back and relax.
However, judging from Yuan Ling's words and the spell he used to escape, he was not a remnant soul at all. Instead, he was the external incarnation of some mighty figure from the Earth Immortal World.
An invisible shadow shrouded Ye Xuan's mind, and the pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
Ye Xuan tried his best to calm himself down, and his expression gradually became calm.
Yes, if Yuan Ling was only a remnant soul, how could he have cultivated the Essence Demon, a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and even destroyed his soul ten thousand years ago?
Ye Xuan did not know who Yuan Ling's real body was, but he could tell from Yuan Ling's words that he must be an extremely important figure in the Earth Immortal World. Even the immortals of the Heaven Realm had to address him as Patriarch.
However, Ye Xuan could only put this matter aside now, because his appearance had already attracted the attention of the immortals of the Heaven Realm. What he had to do next was to deal with them.
"Immortal of the lower realm, His Majesty summons you to the Lingxiao Hall for an audience." An immortal official came over on a cloud, conveying the decree of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms.
"Fellow Daoist, killing the Essence Demon is a great merit. His Majesty will definitely reward you. Let's go quickly. Don't let His Majesty wait too long."
The golden-armored soldier had already carried the Essence Demon's body toward the Lingxiao Hall. Li Jing also greeted Ye Xuan, obviously intending to befriend Ye Xuan.
