On the throne of the Celestial Emperor, Ye Xuan was smiling, but his smile made the immortals extremely uneasy. It was because Ye Xuan's smile was too sinister, as if he had the intention to kill all the immortals.
"Amitabha!"
The Maitreya Buddha put his palms together and chanted a Buddhist name in a low voice. He said, "Emperor, I have a piece of advice. Although the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were killed by you, the Lord of the Three Realms is no small matter. You need the approval of all living beings in the Three Realms before you can ascend to the position of Celestial Emperor. Otherwise, even if we acknowledge your identity as Celestial Emperor, it will not be legitimate."
As the Maitreya Buddha's words fell, Perfected Taiyi hurriedly stood up and said, "Maitreya Buddha is right. If the Emperor wants to rule the Three Realms, it must be legitimate. It also needs the approval of the Saints."
The Western Buddha and the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect. When these two people spoke together, the immortals of the Jade Lake all agreed. Obviously, none of the immortals present would go against Ye Xuan. They were only tactfully rejecting Ye Xuan's suggestion.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan's smile gradually disappeared. He placed his arms on the table and leaned forward slightly. He stared at the two of them and said, "Does that mean that you don't agree with me becoming the Lord of the Three Realms?"
"No … I wouldn't dare!"
Ye Xuan turned hostile immediately. This also made Perfected Taiyi's expression change. He hurriedly responded with a trembling voice. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This also proved how much he feared Ye Xuan in his heart.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, before Ye Xuan could speak, a cold snort was heard. Zhao Gongming walked out of the crowd, followed by hundreds of immortals from the Jie Sect.
"The entire Jie Sect is willing to worship the Emperor as the new Celestial Emperor. If anyone has any objections, the entire Jie Sect will not let them go."
Zhao Gongming led the immortals of the Jie School and bowed to Ye Xuan. Although he seemed to be speaking to Ye Xuan, his real purpose was to tell the immortals present that the entire Jie School was already on Ye Xuan's side.
"That's right. The East Emperor is one of the Four Great Emperors. Since the Jade Emperor is immoral and useless, the one most qualified to become the Celestial Emperor is the East Emperor."
Emperor Ziwei slowly walked out and looked at the immortals present. His Great Luo Immortal Aura rippled slightly. Clearly, he and Ye Xuan were brothers. Since Ye Xuan wanted to become the Celestial Emperor, he, Emperor Ziwei, would definitely support him.
As soon as Empress Myrtlestar finished speaking, the expressions of the immortals present changed slightly. They hadn't expected Empress Myrtlestar to choose a side at a time like this. After all, Empress Myrtlestar's status was extremely high, and her connections were extraordinary.
First of all, Emperor Ziwei was one of the Four Great Emperors of the Celestial Court. He was an existence on the same level as the Jade Emperor. Before the new Celestial Emperor was confirmed, he had a great right to speak.
The most important problem was that Emperor Ziwei had a wide range of friends. Looking at the Three Realms, he had countless close friends. Moreover, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, was his teacher.
Speaking of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, this quasi-Saint Tongtian great figure was not as simple as one imagined.
First of all, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan presided over the Ginseng Fruit Festival that was held once every 300,000 years. Countless Daluo Jinxian in the Three Realms could be said to have racked their brains to be able to participate in the Ginseng Fruit Festival.
Moreover, as the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan would preach the Dao once every 3,000 years. In the Three Realms, regardless of immortals, demons, or devils, they could all go to the Five Manor to listen to the Dao. Countless ancient great Divine Powers had received the favor of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan.
As the saying goes, love the house and its crow. Emperor Ziwei was Great Immortal Zhen Yuan's disciple. No matter where Emperor Ziwei went, immortals, demons, and devils would have to give face to Emperor Ziwei. Even Duobao Rulai of the West did not dare to slight him in the slightest.
Now that Emperor Ziwei strongly supported Ye Xuan, this also represented the will of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan. How could this not shock the immortals to the extreme?
"Amitabha."
The Maitreya Buddha frowned slightly and said, "Emperor Ziwei, although you are one of the four great Emperors of the Celestial Court, the position of Celestial Emperor is no small matter. If there is no decree of the Saint to bestow the title, I'm afraid the East Pole Emperor will not be able to rule the Three Realms, right?"
The Maitreya Buddha was very reserved. He was also hinting to Emperor Ziwei that even if he was the disciple of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, the position of Celestial Emperor was not something he could interfere with.
"What a joke."
Suddenly, before Emperor Ziwei could speak, the silent Goddess of Golden Spirit walked out of the crowd. She first bowed to Ye Xuan and then looked at the Maitreya Buddha. "Although Jie School has failed in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, it does not mean that Jie School does not have a place in the Three Realms. Go back and tell my Senior Brother Duobao that if he wants to object to the East Pole Emperor becoming the master of the Three Realms, don't blame me for gathering my junior brothers and sisters to go to his spiritual mountain to seek justice from him."
As soon as the Goddess of Golden Spirit finished speaking, the Maitreya Buddha's expression changed slightly. He pressed his palms together and kept chanting the Buddhist proclamation. He did not say anything else.
Perhaps some people would question why the Goddess of Golden Spirit called Duobao Rulai Senior Brother.
Actually, the reason was very simple.
During the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Duobao Rulai was not the Western Buddha. At that time, Duobao Rulai was a disciple of Jie School and the eldest disciple of Tongtian. His Daoist name was Daoist Duobao.
Speaking of Daoist Duobao, not only was he talented, but he was also extremely liked by Tongtian. Tongtian doted on him to the extreme and gave him countless numinous treasures. Unfortunately, after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Daoist Duobao entered Western Buddhism and became the master of the Western Spiritual Mountain.
This matter had always been the biggest stain on Jie School because Jie School was different from Chan School. In Chan School, people like Daoist Ci Hang, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra entered Western Buddhism. That was a choice between Saints.
Daoist Duobao could be said to have betrayed his master and joined Western Buddhism. It hurt Tongtian's heart and made the other disciples of Jie School extremely resentful of Daoist Duobao.
Perhaps Daoist Duobao also felt guilty. He turned a blind eye to everything related to Jie School. Even if there were disciples of Jie School killing in the Aparagodānīya Continent, the Buddha and Bodhisattva of Mount Numinous would try their best not to kill them. This was also for the sake of Duobao Rulai.
Goddess Jinling was Tongtian's second eldest disciple, and Daoist Duobao was her eldest senior brother. Today, she stood up to support Ye Xuan, which also proved Daluo Jinxian's attitude.
Maitreya Buddha was silent. He knew that things had become difficult. He could only return to Mount Numinous to report this matter to Buddha. As for Duobao Rulai's attitude next, it had nothing to do with him.
When Maitreya Buddha stopped speaking, the Golden Immortal of Chan School's expression changed slightly. Because Chan School and Jie School had always been at odds. If Ye Xuan really ascended to the position of Celestial Emperor, wouldn't Chan School be suppressed?
"Emperor, the Master of the Three Realms is no small matter. We can only report to Yuanshi Tianzun. If the Saint agrees to let you become the new Celestial Emperor, Chan School will definitely regard you as the Master of the Three Realms."
Immortal Taiyi bowed. His posture was neither arrogant nor humble. Obviously, in the face of such a big matter, he could only argue with reason. If he was afraid of Ye Xuan's ruthless means and agreed to let Ye Xuan become the Emperor, he was afraid that he would not be able to raise his head in front of all the immortals of Chan School.
