"Jade Emperor, have you forgotten that I represented the Celestial Court to fight Yang Jian back then? Now, I'm just asking for some healing items from you. Aren't you afraid that you'll disappoint the Immortals of the Celestial Court?" Ye Xuan spoke frankly and confidently. He even used righteousness to suppress others, showing that he had nothing to fear.
"Your Majesty, Perfected Cultivator Ye is right. Please bestow the Golden Peach Pill."
Suddenly, when the Immortals were silent, an Immortal in a golden robe stepped out of the crowd. He first smiled kindly at Ye Xuan, then bowed to the Jade Emperor.
Taiyi Golden Immortal Zhao Gongming, one of the three Immortals of Fu, Lu, and Shou, was originally a disciple of the Jie Sect. He died in the Battle of Gods Investiture until his true spirit was conferred as the God of Wealth by the Investiture of the Gods. His cultivation could never improve.
Logically speaking, the Investiture of the Gods was in the hands of the Jade Emperor, and Zhao Gongming's life was also in the hands of the Jade Emperor. However, today, the Immortals were silent, and Zhao Gongming stood on Ye Xuan's side. This made the Immortals' expressions change slightly. They did not know what Zhao Gongming was up to.
"Your Majesty, please bestow the Golden Peach Pill. Don't disappoint us."
Suddenly, a dozen Immortals stepped out of the crowd. They were all Immortals of the Jie Sect. At this moment, they were all speaking for Ye Xuan, which made the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Hall become strange.
At this moment, the Immortals of the Chan Sect were panicking. The Jade Emperor's breath was a little chaotic. If it was only Zhao Gongming, the Jade Emperor would not think much. However, when the Immortals of the Jie Sect spoke in the same tone, this was a big problem.
One had to know that the Battle of Gods Investiture was a battle between the orthodoxies of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect. In the last battle, Tongtian set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, but they were broken by the Four Great Sages together.
The Chan Sect prospered, while the Jie Sect fell. Tongtian was disheartened and hid in the Aquamarine Palace, never to appear in the world again. His disciples were either dead or Investiture. It could be said that the situation was over.
However, back then, the Jie School was an extremely terrifying existence. It was even known to teach everyone regardless of their background.
The Jie Sect had been silent for tens of thousands of years. They had never fought for anything and had always been suppressed by the Chan Sect. But today, in the Celestial Court, the immortals of the Jie Sect had spoken up for Ye Xuan. The meaning behind this was not so simple.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and was extremely surprised. He did not know why Zhao Gongming and the others wanted to help him. However, since things had already come to this, he would let nature take its course and see what the Jade Emperor would choose.
The Jade Emperor was the master of the Three Realms. At that moment, his expression was uncertain. It was clear that he was making a decision.
It was impossible to give the 9,000-year-old Peaches of Immortality and the Nine Transformations Golden Pill to Ye Xuan. However, the Jade Emperor had to pay attention to the immortals of the Jie Sect. Moreover, Ye Xuan was not an ordinary person. If he did not handle this well, the Celestial Court would definitely be in turmoil. This was definitely not an outcome that he wanted to see.
"Immortals, you are right. Ye Xuan is an important minister of the Celestial Court. Naturally, I will not sit by and do nothing. However, the Peaches of Immortality and the Golden Pill of Immortality are the most precious treasures of the Celestial Court. Let me discuss with the Queen Mother before making a decision."
The Jade Emperor spoke majestically and stood up from his throne. Clearly, this matter had to be discussed with the Queen Mother who was in charge of the Peach Garden.
…
Jade Lake Sacred Ground.
A large number of immortal servants were dismissed. The Jade Emperor's expression was gloomy. The Queen Mother frowned. The two of them were speechless. This made the atmosphere in the Jade Lake Sacred Ground slightly oppressive.
"Your Majesty, what is the background of this Ye Xuan? Why is Your Majesty so tolerant of him?" The Queen Mother's expression was cold. Her voice was filled with confusion.
"I can't say, I can't say. This Ye Xuan's background is too shocking. If he was an ordinary person, I would have killed him long ago. However, the weapon in his hand is too terrifying. Without full confidence, I can only tolerate him for now." The Jade Emperor shook his head bitterly and let out a soft sigh.
"Your Majesty, this Ye Xuan is obviously insatiable. The 9,000-year-old Peaches of Immortality are sacred items of heaven and earth. Even you and I don't dare to eat them privately. How can we really give them to this person?" The Queen Mother said coldly.
"Of course, we can't give him the 9,000-year-old Peaches of Immortality. However, you and I can still make the decision for the 3,000-year-old Peaches of Immortality. What really worries me is the attitude of the Jie Sect." The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes. His voice was extremely gloomy.
The Queen Mother's expression changed when she heard the Jade Emperor's words. She probed, "Your Majesty, does the Jie Sect want to rely on this person to prosper again?"
The Jade Emperor nodded. He looked beyond the 33 heavens and said with a trembling voice, "Everyone below the Saint level is an ant. It's not like you don't understand this. Although we seem to be on equal footing with the Three Pure Ones, we're just puppets in their eyes."
"Queen Mother, don't forget that we were just children in the Purple Cloud Palace back then. If it weren't for the destruction of the Ancient Celestial Court during the Great War of the Liches and Demons, how could we have had the opportunity to become the master of the three worlds?"
The Queen Mother's eyes became dazed when she heard the Jade Emperor's words. Extremely distant memories surfaced in her mind. There was even a sliver of unwillingness in her eyes.
"After the Great War of the Investiture of the Gods, Tongtian was disheartened. His disciples were all killed. However, how could this Tongtian be willing to accept this?"
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that our Senior Tongtian will use Ye Xuan to start another Great War of the Investiture of the Gods. At that time, if the Celestial Court is destroyed, even if you and I used to be by the Tao Ancestor's side, I'm afraid we'll be involved in the Immeasurable Calamity and die."
The Jade Emperor's voice trembled. His body trembled when he thought of the Immeasurable Calamity.
The Queen Mother was also worried about what the Jade Emperor was worried about. This also made the Queen Mother's face turn pale. She said, "Then what should we do now?"
"What should we do?"
The Jade Emperor muttered to himself with a cold expression. He said, "The Chan School and Jie School will fight again. You and I can't get involved. Since Ye Xuan wants to die, I'll grant him his wish."
"Doesn't he want the Peach of Immortality? We'll give it to him. Not only will I give him the Peach of Immortality, but I'll also confer him the title of the Emperor of the Celestial Court. I want to see what will happen to him when he becomes the target of public criticism."
The Jade Emperor finally made up his mind. His eyes were filled with vicious murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, you can just give him the Peach of Immortality that's three thousand years old. But if you confer him the title of the Emperor of the Celestial Court, wouldn't he be on the same level as you? Wouldn't that make him even more arrogant …"
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to finish her sentence, the Jade Emperor smiled coldly and said, "The higher you climb, the faster you'll die. You have to know that other than me who's the Master of the Three Realms, the other Emperors all have the same cultivation level as Daluo Jinxian. He's only in the Taiyi Realm. Let alone the immortals, even the Demon Kings of the Lower Realm won't let him go."
"Alright, quickly go to the Peach of Immortality Garden and get the Peach of Immortality that's three thousand years old and send it to the Lingxiao Hall. Don't waste the opportunity."
The Jade Emperor finally made a decision. Then, he rode the auspicious cloud and returned to the Lingxiao Hall. This was an open conspiracy against Ye Xuan. The Jade Emperor believed that he could definitely make Ye Xuan die without a burial place.
In fact, the Queen Mother did not know that the Jade Emperor wanted to kill Ye Xuan mainly because of the Fairy of Guanghan. This was because there were rumors in the Three Realms that Ye Xuan and the Fairy of Guanghan had an ambiguous relationship. It had become a huge gossip that kept spreading among the immortals, demons, and demons.
