Bull-Fighting Palace, Lingxiao Hall.
The Immortals of the Clan of Chan looked gloomy, but the Immortals of the Clan of Jie were calm. Zhao Gongming even went up to talk to Ye Xuan personally. Although he was congratulating him, the Immortals of the Clan of Chan frowned.
Which Immortal present hadn't lived for hundreds of thousands of years?
Regardless of their cultivation, they had experienced many major events in the world. Their foresight was extremely sharp. They could already see that the Clan of Jie was about to make a move.
Ye Xuan was as calm as a mountain. He even chatted and laughed with Zhao Gongming. He even promised Zhao Gongming that he would visit his Taoist temple as a guest when he had time. For a moment, his relationship with the Clan of Jie became closer.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. This sentence was not without reason.
Ye Xuan was very clear. Since he was already at odds with Yang Jian, the Clan of Chan saw him as a great enemy. Since the Clan of Jie wanted to rope him in, he could take advantage of the situation and get closer to the Clan of Jie.
Just as Zhao Gongming and Ye Xuan were chatting enthusiastically, the Jade Emperor finally returned. However, what surprised the Immortals was that the Queen Mother, who rarely appeared in the Lingxiao Hall, was following beside the Jade Emperor. Moreover, she had a peach of immortality in her hand.
Such a scene made the Immortals of the Clan of Chan frown. However, the Immortals of the Clan of Jie were all smiles. Even Ye Xuan's eyelids twitched when he saw the peach of immortality in the Queen Mother's hand. However, he still looked very calm.
"Minister Ye, the 9,000-year-old peach of immortality is the most precious treasure of the Celestial Court. The Queen Mother and I are not qualified to give it to you. However, we can still make the decision for the 3,000-year-old peach of immortality," the Jade Emperor said gently.
"This humble daoist thanks Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!" Ye Xuan lightly smiled as he cupped his hands.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Xuan had never expected to get the 9,000-year-old Peach of Immortality. His real target was the 3,000-year-old Peach of Immortality in the Queen Mother's hands, which was also the key to him stepping into the realm of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
A celestial maiden walked towards Ye Xuan with a peach of immortality in her hand. Ye Xuan took the peach from the celestial maiden and stored it in his Sumeru Space.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your compassion. I will definitely do my best for the Celestial Court."
Ye Xuan naturally would not be stingy with his compliments. This was just the beginning. Once his cultivation level improved greatly, the Celestial Court would be his greatest treasure trove.
"Your Majesty, I'm seriously injured. I'll take my leave first."
Ye Xuan had already gotten what he wanted. Ye Xuan could not be bothered to feign civility with the Jade Emperor and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to leave, the Jade Emperor spoke out in a dignified manner, causing Ye Xuan to be stunned. He turned around and looked at the Jade Emperor. He didn't know what other tricks the Jade Emperor was up to.
"Minister Ye's cultivation is profound, and you represented the Heavenly Court in the battle against Yang Jian. This also proves that Minister Ye's Dao is exceedingly powerful. The title of 'Demon Slayer Lord Xiansheng' is truly unworthy of your family. Today, you have returned to the Heavenly Court, so I have the intention to give you a title." The Jade Emperor's expression was solemn and respectful, and his voice echoed in the Lingxiao Hall.
The immortals looked to the side and watched coldly. Ye Xuan frowned. He did not believe that the Jade Emperor would be so kind. He was afraid that the old man was plotting something again.
"Since the ancient Celestial Court was destroyed, the Queen Mother and I rebuilt the Celestial Court. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed. It can be said that we are physically and mentally exhausted. Today, Ye Xuan's Dao is Tongtian. He is a mighty figure of the Celestial Court. He can be conferred the title of East Pole Emperor and stay in the Weiyang Palace."
As the Jade Emperor spoke in a dignified manner, an immortal official walked towards Ye Xuan with a green emperor's robe in his hands. A golden talisman rose in the Lingxiao Hall. The words' East Pole Emperor 'turned into a dazzling golden light and spread in all directions.
Seal!
A scroll of Investiture of the Gods suddenly appeared in the Jade Emperor's hands. Without waiting for the immortals to stop him, the Jade Emperor wrote down Ye Xuan's name with a golden brush and directly conferred his title on the Investiture of the Gods.
"East Pole Emperor, why don't you hurry up and accept the decree?" the Jade Emperor said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you can't!" The immortals suddenly came to their senses and cried out in shock.
"Jade Emperor, the Emperor of the Celestial Court is of utmost importance. Although Ye Xuan's Dao is impressive, how can he be qualified for the position of East Pole Emperor?" the Longevity Immortal Venerable said with a frown.
"Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Celestial Court, there have only been three Emperors. All of them had the cultivation of Daluo Jinxian and were revered by the people of the Three Realms. If Ye Daoyou is promoted to the position of East Pole Emperor, I'm afraid the people of the Three Realms will not accept it," Grand Preceptor Wen said solemnly.
As the two great immortals of the Celestial Court spoke, the other immortals also responded. Clearly, this matter was too far-fetched.
Even though Ye Xuan's Dao techniques and divine abilities were extraordinary, and he was even on par with Yang Jian, the title of the Eastern Emperor was no small matter. This was an honorific title that was on par with the twelve Golden Immortals of the ancient times.
Unfortunately, no matter how the immortals persuaded, the Jade Emperor remained unmoved. His attitude was even more unyielding.
"I have given orders to the heavens and am the master of the Three Realms. As the saying goes, I have a golden mouth and jade words. I have already conferred Ye Xuan the title of East Pole Emperor and even branded his name on the Investiture of the Gods. How can I change it just like that?"
"This matter is decided. You don't have to persuade me anymore."
After saying that, the Jade Emperor stood up from his throne and left the Lingxiao Hall, not giving the immortals a chance to refute.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan's face was gloomy. He looked at the Jade Emperor's departing figure with a cold glint in his eyes.
East Pole Emperor?
What a great title. Throughout the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, he, Ye Xuan, was actually the Emperor. Not to mention the immortals, even Ye Xuan himself was caught off guard.
However, Ye Xuan was not overjoyed at all. This was because he knew very well that if he had Daluo Jinxian's cultivation, this title would be enough. However, he was only in the Grand Unity realm now. If he were to become the East Pole Emperor, all the immortals and demons would definitely be displeased.
Since ancient times, reputation was the most harmful. Ye Xuan understood this very well. This was the Jade Emperor's plan to kill with a borrowed knife.
However, what was done could not be undone. It was too late for Ye Xuan to refuse. He could only suffer in silence.
Ye Xuan turned around and left. He did not stay in the Lingxiao Hall for even a moment.
Since the Jade Emperor wanted to kill him, he was not someone to be trifled with. Let's see whose method was better.
…
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. As the Jade Emperor's conferment spread throughout the Three Realms, all the immortals and demons in the Three Realms began to discuss it. Those with weaker cultivation levels naturally heard the gossip. However, there were also mighty figures like the Tongtian who were disdainful of Ye Xuan.
Regardless, Ye Xuan becoming the East Pole Emperor was already a foregone conclusion. This also caused his reputation to soar. He was known by all the living beings in the Three Realms.
In the Chaotic Cloud Palace.
The palace had no roof. The sky was filled with stars.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the Chaotic Cloud Palace. Under the illumination of the stars that filled the sky, he looked spotless and had an otherworldly temperament.
An immortal peach appeared in Ye Xuan's hand. It was emitting a round immortal light. A fragrance filled the entire Chaotic Cloud Palace.
