The Jade Emperor was the Emperor of the Three Realms. He was in charge of everything in the Three Realms. In terms of status, he was on par with the Three Pure Ones. From this, it could be seen how honorable the Jade Emperor was.
The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man were the Celestial Court, the Earth Immortal Realm, and the Underworld. These were the origins of the Three Realms.
In fact, the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man were just a general name. The Celestial Court and the Underworld were just an organization. The real main world was the Earth Immortal Realm. There were too many Tongtian almighties hidden in it.
The Earth Immortal Realm was too vast and boundless. Even an Immortal could not travel to every corner of the Earth Immortal Realm in their lifetime.
The Jade Emperor was in charge of the Three Realms in name. He was also known as the Emperor of the Three Realms. However, there were too few people who listened to him.
There were four states and four oceans in the Earth Immortal Realm. There were also too many ancient mountains. There were too many Tongtian almighties to count. Naturally, they did not care about the so-called Jade Emperor.
However, the Emperor of the Three Realms was the Emperor of the Three Realms. He was not a simple person. When the Jade Emperor sent out invitations, all the Immortals and Buddhas who were related to the Celestial Court naturally had to give the Jade Emperor face.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, the Spirited Mountain of the West, the Chan and Jie Sects, the Immortals of the Celestial Court, and of course, the Yama of the Underworld. As long as they were in the Immortal Class, they naturally would not refuse the Jade Emperor's face. They all rushed to the Celestial Court.
There were so many people, from a Xuan Immortal to a Daluo Jinxian. This made the Celestial Court very lively.
How long had it been?
A hundred thousand years?
Other than the Feast of Peaches, the Celestial Court had rarely been so lively.
However, this time, the Jade Emperor wanted to marry the Fairy of Guanghan. It was a controversial matter because everyone in the Three Realms knew that the Fairy of Guanghan's identity was too sensitive.
First of all, Fairy Guanghan was a primordial goddess. She had a great relationship with the Magi. Legend had it that the Magi were warlike, and the primordial Grand Magus, Da Yi, had once shot down nine primordial Golden Crows for Fairy Guanghan in a single day. It was a legend of the Three Realms.
Secondly, after the Untainted Age, countless Immortals and Buddhas were admirers of the Fairy of Guanghan. Among them, there were some Great Mediums from antiquity times. However, their identities were sensitive and they were not as obvious as Yang Jian's.
Now, the Jade Emperor was risking universal condemnation to marry the Fairy of Guanghan. If some terrifying existence were to appear, even the Jade Emperor, the Master of the Three Realms, would be exhausted to deal with it.
Whether it was to watch a show or to give the Jade Emperor face, the immortals and Buddhas stopped in the Celestial Court and waited for the Celestial Court's banquet to begin.
Southern Heavenly Gate!
Countless Immortals came from all directions. The Four Heavenly Kings standing in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate checked the identities of the Immortals as a matter of routine, then let them pass one by one.
"The Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu has arrived."
Suddenly, golden lotuses descended from the sky and sweet springs gushed out from the ground. Ripples blossomed in the void as golden lotuses rose into the sky. In the distance, four Jiao Dragons soared into the clouds and were pulling a golden jade carriage across the sky.
Golden boys and girls accompanied the carriage on both sides. The golden jade carriage shone with Daluo Immortal Light, which made the Immortals entering the Celestial Court change their expressions. They stopped in their tracks and bowed to the golden jade carriage.
"Greetings, Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu."
The Immortals bowed, and the Four Heavenly Kings did not dare to be negligent. They stepped aside and bowed as well. Clearly, the Immortals were in awe of the Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu's reputation.
Rumble!
The Four Flood Dragons pulled the golden jade carriage to the Southern Heavenly Gate. As a golden figure walked out of the carriage, an overwhelming Daluo Immortal Aura spread out. The Immortals lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
"Welcome back to the Celestial Court, Emperor Zhen Wu."
The Four Heavenly Kings bowed, lowering their statuses to the extreme. They were extremely respectful to the Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu.
The Zhen Wu Demon-sweeping Emperor was extraordinarily handsome. He looked more like a young man. However, when he opened and closed his eyes, specks of golden light overflowed from them. The majesty of a superior was unmistakable, and no one dared to look at him directly.
"Have the other two Emperors returned to the Celestial Court?" the Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu asked in a dignified voice.
"Emperor Zhen Wu, I haven't seen the other two, but the Jade Emperor has already sent a message to Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gouchen. I'm sure the three Emperors of the Celestial Court will gather in a few days," the Dhrtarastra replied respectfully.
"Hmph!"
The Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu frowned slightly, then snorted coldly. "The last time we gathered in the Celestial Court was at the Feast of Peaches, wasn't it?"
"It's been almost a hundred thousand years. I wonder what their cultivation levels are now."
The Four Heavenly Kings fell silent at the Demon-Sweeping Emperor Zhen Wu's words. Naturally, they didn't dare to continue the conversation. The Four Heavenly Kings all knew that the three Emperors had almost come to blows during the Feast of Peaches. If the Jade Emperor hadn't intervened, the Feast of Peaches would have been in chaos.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea has arrived."
"Barefoot Immortal has arrived."
"Western Spiritual Mountain's Jingtan Emissary has arrived."
In just a short while, the light of immortals and buddhas streaked across the void. The rolling Immortal Light of the Great Firmament covered the sky and earth, drawing the attention of the Immortals in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
"Greetings, Guanyin."
"Greetings, Barefoot Immortal."
"Greetings, Canopy Marshal!"
The immortal light faded, and three figures appeared in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
The Barefoot Immortal had a ruddy complexion and a benevolent countenance. Just like his name, his large feet were exceptionally eye-catching. Waving a palm-leaf fan in his hand, he laughed heartily at the immortals. "Don't be so courteous, fellow daoists."
Though the Barefoot Immortal looked benevolent and amiable, he was a genuine Daluo Jinxian. Though he was only at the first level of Daluo Jinxian and didn't have much of a reputation among the Daluo Jinxian, he was the one who didn't put on airs.
"Amitabha!"
Guanyin of the South Sea smiled and nodded at the immortals, greeting them as she held the jade bottle in her hand.
However, the immortals hurriedly returned the greeting, because Guanyin of the South Sea's roots were too terrifying.
In the distant past, Guanyin of the South Sea did not have this name. Instead, she was called Daoist Ci Hang. She was the ninth disciple of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and the only female disciple. She was also one of the twelve ancient Golden Immortals.
Later, during the Investiture of the Gods War, Daoist Ci Hang entered the Western Spirit Mountain for some reason, and changed her name to Guanyin of the South Sea.
Although she entered the Western Spirit Mountain, Guanyin of the South Sea had a great relationship with the Chanism. She was also one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Primordial Era and the junior sister of Daoist Yu Ding.
However, in terms of cultivation, she was much stronger than Daoist Yu Ding.
As for the last Envoy of the Cleansing Altar, his origins were more complicated. He was originally Canopy Marshal of the Celestial Court, but because he took liberties with Chang 'e during the Jade Lake Banquet, he was directly banished to the Path of the Beast by the Jade Emperor and reincarnated for a thousand generations.
