"Oh?"
Ye Xuan's lips curled into a strange smile as he said, "Does that mean that you're not the incarnation of a Saint?"
Unfortunately, Taishang Laojun did not answer this question. Instead, he took a deep look at Ye Xuan and said, "The Celestial Emperor has come to the Tushita Palace, and I already know why you're here. However, you want me to disappear from the Celestial Court. Don't you think that's an extremely ridiculous thing?"
"Haha!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan laughed out loud, causing the entire Tushita Palace to rumble. He looked at Taishang Laojun with a strange look in his eyes.
"Logically speaking, your cultivation is above mine, and you've been in the Tushita Palace for countless years. However, you should know that I'm not a useless piece of trash like the Jade Emperor. If you're not willing to help me achieve great things, why would I keep you in the Celestial Court?"
Ye Xuan's smile disappeared, and his voice gradually turned sinister. It was obvious that he was not just saying it. He had come here to eliminate his biggest hidden danger in the Celestial Court.
Taishang Laojun was too famous. Not only was his cultivation unfathomable, but he was also an extraordinary existence in the Celestial Court. Since Ye Xuan had become the Master of the Three Realms, he would not allow such a hidden danger to remain by his side.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xuan wanted to completely control the thirty-three layers of Heavenly Court in his own hands. Under his will, no matter who it was, they would have to act according to his will.
Of course, Ye Xuan also knew that Taishang Laojun would not listen to his orders. Therefore, he had to eliminate Ye Xuan. This was also one of his goals in coming here.
"Haha."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and laughed, "I didn't expect that I would become the Celestial Emperor's stumbling block. However, does the Celestial Emperor think that he can kill me?"
When Taishang Laojun said this, his smile disappeared. A murderous aura rose around him, causing the entire Tushita Palace to distort slightly. An extremely oppressive atmosphere grew.
"No no no!"
The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth curled into a wisp of a sneer as he repeatedly refused, and the gaze he shot at Grand Supreme Elderly Lord became even more strange and unfathomable as he said, "Even though I can't discern what realm you're at, I presume you're at least at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. Even though I have the intention to kill you, I don't have the ability to do so. However, if I were to spread the news that you've developed a consciousness throughout the three dimensions, I wonder what Saint Lao Tzu would think?"
As Ye Xuan's words fell, Taishang Laojun's expression changed drastically. He looked at Ye Xuan with extremely sinister killing intent, and an extremely terrifying aura bloomed around him.
"You want me to kill you?" Old Lord Taishang said coldly. Where was the benevolent look from before?
"What a joke. You?"
Rumble!
The mountains and rivers shook as the void collapsed. Ye Xuan's expression was cold as the Golden Immortal Light rolled out. The extremely terrifying aura of a Celestial Emperor burst forth, completely unafraid of Taishang Laojun's threat.
"Let's not talk about you not being able to kill me. Even if you had the ability to kill me, would you dare to do so?" Ye Xuan said sinisterly, causing Taishang Laojun's expression to darken as the killing intent around him slowly dissipated.
"Before Lao Tzu attained the Dao, he walked the path of severing the Three Corpses to become a Saint. Back then, he severed the Good Corpse, and you were formed from the Good Corpse, becoming Taishang Laojun. In the end, Lao Tzu became a Saint through merit, but he placed you in the Celestial Court. After countless years, you've developed a consciousness of your own. I'm afraid you've always wanted to escape from the Saint's control, right?" Ye Xuan said tirelessly, his words extremely certain.
"Haha!"
Taishang Laojun laughed loudly and said, "A dignified Celestial Emperor actually believes in the rumors of the world. I attained the Dao in the Primordial Age and have nothing to do with Saint Lao Tzu. Your words are simply absurd."
"Absurd?"
Ye Xuan sneered and said, "Then I don't understand. Since the Primordial Age until now, why did you hide here and rarely appear in the eyes of the people of the Three Realms? Moreover, when I killed the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, you didn't appear to stop me?"
Taishang Laojun's expression darkened when he heard Ye Xuan's words. He didn't answer Ye Xuan's question for a long time.
"Actually, the reason is very simple. You were formed from the Good Corpse that Lao Tzu severed. If I'm not wrong, you didn't interfere when I killed the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. I'm afraid it was Saint Lao Tzu's idea, right?" Ye Xuan chuckled.
"Even if you're right, so what?" Taishang Laojun finally spoke. "Taishang Laojun is the Celestial Emperor.
Today, I came to the Tushita Palace to make you leave the Celestial Court. Logically speaking, you should have left long ago, but you chose to wait for me here. This is not the will of the Saint. It also means that you have developed self-awareness and want to see for yourself what kind of person I, Ye Xuan, am and whether I can help you break free from the control of the Saint. "Ye Xuan spoke frankly as if he was talking about something very casual.
Looking at Ye Xuan's confidence, Taishang Laojun remained silent for a long time. It was as if he had silently agreed with Ye Xuan's words.
"Ye Xuan, you're very smart, but smart people die very quickly. I hope you can take care of yourself and not find trouble for yourself." Taishang Laojun secretly transmitted his voice. Clearly, he was afraid that the Saint would eavesdrop.
"I can make a deal with you. As for the content of the deal …"
On this day, the Tushita Palace was in a state of isolation. No one knew what Ye Xuan and Taishang Laojun talked about. After seven days and seven nights, Taishang Laojun disappeared, leaving only the Tushita Palace in the Thirty-Third Heaven.
All laws were silent and there were no calamities.
Ye Xuan stood in the Tushita Palace with his hands behind his back. A strange smile appeared on his lips. When he opened and closed his eyes, there was a hint of mockery.
Taishang Laojun was very strong. If Ye Xuan guessed correctly, this person's cultivation base should be in the Ninth Heaven of Daluo and was about to enter the ranks of Quasi-Saints.
However, Taishang Laojun did not dare to enter the Quasi-Saint Realm. If he did, the Saint Lao Tzu would definitely sense it and kill him mercilessly.
Perhaps some people would ask why Ye Xuan was so sure that Taishang Laojun was Lao Tzu's Good Corpse.
In fact, the reason was very simple. Ye Xuan had the Bronze Immortal Sutra in his hands. On the first page of the sutra, there was a record of famous people in the Three Realms.
The Six Great Saints, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, the Nether River Patriarch, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Twelve Ancient Shamans, and many other mysterious and terrifying people.
This page of the sutra recorded the life stories of these people. Whether it was a Saint or a Quasi-Saint Daluo, as long as they had an extraordinary background, their life stories were all recorded. It just so happened that Taishang Laojun was the Good Corpse of the Saint Lao Tzu and was also recorded on this page of the sutra.
This page of the sutra was written by Yuan Ling. Ye Xuan was also suspicious and wanted to test Taishang Laojun. However, he did not expect that the sutra said that Taishang Laojun had already developed self-awareness. This was actually true.
One could see the whole picture from a single spot.
Although Ye Xuan had reached a deal with Taishang Laojun, he gradually calmed down after his excitement and discovered something that made him extremely terrified.
