"May I know your name and which immortal mountain or blessed land you're cultivating in? If there's nothing important, I would like to invite you for a drink. I wonder if you'll do me the honor?" Emperor Ziwei sincerely invited Ye Xuan and did not mention Ye Xuan's indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent.
"How would I dare to disobey Fellow Daoist Ziwei's invitation?" Ye Xuan smiled.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist, you're indeed straightforward. Please."
Emperor Ziwei laughed loudly. He rode a golden cloud and shot into the distance. This also allowed Ye Xuan to follow behind him.
Along the way, the two of them secretly competed with each other in terms of leg strength. However, what surprised Empress Myrtlestar was that Ye Xuan was clearly an Allheaven Golden Immortal, but his speed wasn't inferior to his. No matter how fast he increased his speed, Ye Xuan was always able to follow behind him at a leisurely pace.
This also made Emperor Ziwei acknowledge Ye Xuan even more. He completely treated Ye Xuan as someone on the same level.
On an immortal mountain surrounded by spiritual energy.
Ye Xuan and Empress Myrtlestar sat across from each other in a pavilion on a mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist. A jug of immortal wine lay between the two of them.
"Let me toast you, Fellow Daoist."
Emperor Ziwei raised his wine cup and clinked it with Ye Xuan's. The two of them drank the wine in their cups together and then laughed loudly. They naturally appreciated each other.
"Fellow Daoist, I've roamed the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Realms for hundreds of thousands of years, but I've never seen such a heaven-defying person like you. I searched all my memories, but I couldn't find anyone like you. Please tell me your name, Fellow Daoist," Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.
"I'm just a nobody. If Fellow Daoist Ziwei is willing, you can call me Ye Daoyou." Ye Xuan did not say his name and gave Emperor Ziwei an ambiguous answer.
Emperor Ziwei was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things. Since Ye Xuan was holding back, he naturally would not continue to ask.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, it's not that I want to brag about you, but with your combat prowess, there's no one in the Allheaven Golden Immortals who can match you at all. Even among Perfected Golden Immortals, you can still stand proudly. When you step into the realm of Perfected Golden Immortals, I'm afraid there will be a place for you in this world." Empress Myrtlestar sighed.
"Fellow Ziwei, you must be joking. How can the Daluo Jinxian be so easy to step into? Today, we got to know each other after a fight. It's fate between us. Let me toast you." Ye Xuan smiled and raised his wine cup and drank the wine in it.
A so-called friend was someone who had the ability to flip a table and the cultivation of not flipping a table. On this day, Empress Myrtlestar was in a great mood. She was exchanging cups with Ye Xuan in the clouds of the immortal mountain. She truly felt regretful that they hadn't met earlier.
"Fellow Ziwei, why did you appear in the small Holy Empire? Where are you going this time?"
Whether it was a casual chat or a casual question, Ye Xuan smiled and asked when the two of them were drinking wine.
"Ye Daoyou, you don't know. The Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court sent me a jade slip. Three years later, he and the Fairy of the Moon Palace …"
As Emperor Ziwei slowly narrated, Ye Xuan's smiling face gradually turned cold. A trace of sinister killing intent quietly flashed across his eyes. However, Emperor Ziwei did not notice Ye Xuan's abnormality and continued talking.
Although Emperor Ziwei was one of the three Celestial Emperors of the Celestial Court, he was not in the Celestial Court all year round. Instead, he wandered the Three Realms. Usually, he drank wine and discussed the Dao with some of his good friends. He was free and unfettered.
However, the Jade Emperor wanted to marry the Fairy of the Moon Palace and had sent out wedding invitations. Emperor Ziwei had to give face to him. On the way back to the Celestial Court, he met Ye Xuan, which led to the scene just now.
"The Fairy of the Moon Palace? She's an ancient goddess. I really don't understand. Why would she marry the Jade Emperor?"
When the Fairy of the Moon Palace was mentioned, Emperor Ziwei's eyes were filled with infatuation. He said that it was a pity. Clearly, he had seen the Fairy of the Moon Palace before. Although he was not infatuated with the Fairy of the Moon Palace like the Jade Emperor, he still had some feelings of admiration for the Fairy of the Moon Palace.
"Hmph, I think the Jade Emperor is courting death."
Suddenly, Ye Xuan said coldly, which woke Emperor Ziwei up. When he saw Ye Xuan's cold expression, he was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Daoyou must have seen the Fairy of the Moon Palace before. However, the Fairy of the Moon Palace is too sensitive. The Jade Emperor has indeed gone crazy. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems."
As soon as Empress Myrtlestar finished speaking, Ye Xuan lightly smiled. However, his smile was filled with indescribable killing intent.
Fairy Guang Han was a woman that he, Ye Xuan, had decided on, and was even viewed as his personal plaything. Not to mention nonsense like love, in Ye Xuan's heart, he'd long since labeled Fairy Guang Han as his own. How could he allow others to taint her?
Now, the Jade Emperor dared to attack the Fairy of the Moon Palace. How could Ye Xuan tolerate this?
If the Jade Emperor really took the Fairy of the Moon Palace, it would not mean that Ye Xuan was cuckolded. Instead, it would make Ye Xuan feel disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.
Ye Xuan did not forget that the Fairy of the Moon Palace had pleaded with the Jade Emperor for him during his battle with Perfected Yu Ding three hundred years ago. Although he did not accept it, he had never forgotten the Jade Emperor's mocking and disdainful gaze.
"Alright, alright. The matter between the Fairy of the Moon Palace and the Jade Emperor has nothing to do with us. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Emperor Ziwei smiled. The more he looked at Ye Xuan, the more he felt close to him. The two of them toasted and drank again.
However, Emperor Ziwei's expression changed. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was making a very important decision. When the two jars of immortal wine were finished, Emperor Ziwei's gaze finally settled. His expression became solemn as he said, "Ye Daoyou, we hit it off very well today. I have a suggestion. I want to become brothers with you. I wonder if you are willing?"
Originally, Ye Xuan was immersed in the matter of the Fairy of the Moon Palace. When he heard Emperor Ziwei's words, he also woke up from his thoughts. When he looked at Emperor Ziwei, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Perhaps he felt Ye Xuan's surprise, Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "A Worthy Younger Brother, don't blame me for being reckless. It's just that I hit it off with you at first sight. I am more optimistic about your future. If A Worthy Younger Brother is unwilling, I will not force you."
In fact, Emperor Ziwei was a very proud person. Very few people were worthy of his attention. However, after the battle with Ye Xuan today, he wanted to try his best to befriend Ye Xuan.
One had to know that ever since the creation of the world, there had never been a Golden Immortal of the Great Firmament who could defeat a Golden Immortal of the Great Firmament. It was simply a fantasy, but Empress Myrtlestar had encountered it and personally experienced it.
Empress Myrtlestar was extremely optimistic about Ye Xuan's future. If the two of them could become brothers of the opposite sex, it would be extremely beneficial in every aspect.
Of course, becoming brothers wasn't just a simple ceremony. It was an alliance that was closely related. When one side was in trouble, the other side would come to help even if they were hundreds of millions of miles apart.
If the brothers turned against each other, they would definitely be ridiculed by all the people in the Three Realms. Take the Tongtian Demon King Bull of the Aparagodaniya Continent. In the past, he became brothers with the monkey. Later, they turned against each other and he was criticized by all the people in the Three Realms. He hid in the Thunder Mountain for hundreds of thousands of years. It could be said that his reputation was completely ruined.
Ye Xuan didn't expect that Emperor Ziwei would want to become brothers with him. This made him frown slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Of course, Ye Xuan knew that Emperor Ziwei had a wide circle of friends. He was the Daluo Jinxian and one of the three great Emperors of the Celestial Court. It could be said that becoming brothers with this person was beneficial to him.
However, Ye Xuan had offended the Chan School. When he really appeared in the eyes of the Three Realms, the twelve ancient Golden Immortals of the Chan School would definitely not let him go.
Moreover, he had killed the Long-browed Arhat of the Western Sect's Mount Numinous and caused Guan Yin to come to the Celestial Court to denounce him. If it wasn't for the Saint's decree, the Western Sect's Mount Numinous alone would be a huge problem.
They were all Ye Xuan's enemies. If he were to become brothers with Emperor Ziwei now and his identity was made public, Emperor Ziwei would probably secretly scold him for being despicable and shameless for dragging him down.
"It's not that I don't know the immensity of heaven and earth and refuse Elder Brother's good intentions. It's just that my identity is sensitive. If Elder Brother knows my identity in the future and is still willing to become brothers with me, I naturally won't refuse." Ye Xuan thought about it and said tactfully.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Emperor Ziwei was slightly stunned. Then, he slammed the table and said sternly, "A Worthy Younger Brother need not have any scruples. I don't dare to say how much weight I have in the Daluo Jinxian, but if anyone dares to make things difficult for A Worthy Younger Brother, they will be my enemy. I'd like to see who dares to be so ignorant."
"Elder Brother, don't be angry. We'll talk about this in the future. I have a request." Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
"A Worthy Younger Brother is too polite. There's no harm in saying what you want." Emperor Ziwei said solemnly.
"I want to go to the Celestial Court with Elder Brother and participate in the Celestial Court's Jade Emperor's banquet. I wonder what Elder Brother thinks?" Ye Xuan said softly.
"Haha."
Emperor Ziwei laughed heartily and said, "I was wondering what it was. It turns out to be such a small matter. Even if A Worthy Younger Brother didn't say it, I still want to invite A Worthy Younger Brother to go with me."
"Thank you, Elder Brother." Ye Xuan cupped his hands and bowed. It was considered his thanks to Emperor Ziwei.
Seeing Ye Xuan's modesty and politeness, Emperor Ziwei's impression of Ye Xuan increased. He said, "Good, good, good. I'm very happy to get to know A Worthy Younger Brother today. After the Celestial Court is over, you and I will travel the Three Realms. When we become sworn brothers, wouldn't that be a beautiful story in the Three Realms?"
"A Worthy Younger Brother, let's go to the Celestial Court now. Let me take you to see the beautiful scenery of the Celestial Court."
Emperor Ziwei wasn't someone who dilly-dallied. He rose into the sky on his golden cloud. Ye Xuan's body was covered in golden light. He also rose at this moment. The two of them turned into streaks of light and directly flew towards the 33rd Celestial Court.
However, Emperor Ziwei didn't know that A Worthy Younger Brother he admired was definitely not a kind person. He was the East Pole Emperor, who was equally famous as him. This trip to the Celestial Court caused an unimaginable upheaval in the Celestial Court. It even caused the Three Realms to fall into chaos.
