Buzz!
The void froze and time stood still. Zhen Yuanzi paused and slowly turned around to look behind him. His voice was calm as he said, "Do you think Nüwa has noticed something?"
Buzz!
A dot of chaotic light appeared in the void. The green-robed Daoist was covered in immortal light as he quietly appeared beside Zhen Yuanzi.
"Among the Six Great Sages, Nüwa is the weakest. You and I have lived much longer than her. Even if she has doubts, we can only take one step at a time. The one we should be most careful of is Lao Tzu, Li Er. He is the most difficult person to deal with in the Three Realms," the green-robed Daoist said calmly.
"Hongjun has transformed into the Dao, and the Sages lie high in the Nine Heavens. We Pre-Sages have our own plans. Let's see who will be the final victor," Zhen Yuanzi murmured with a smile. However, when his eyes changed, the world froze.
…
A piece of news that shocked the Three Realms came from Nüwa Palace. It shocked the Heaven, Earth, and Man Realms.
The Sage's decree fell upon the Three Realms. Whether it was the Celestial Court, the Earth Immortal Realm, or even the Hades, they were all shocked by the Sage's decree.
The meaning of Nüwa's decree was clear. A hundred years later, Nüwa Palace would recruit a husband for the Fairy of the Nine Heavens. Regardless of immortal, demon, or devil, anyone who could stand out in this event would be called the Empyrean Fairy's husband.
When this news spread throughout the Three Realms, it caused an uproar. This was because Nüwa Palace had never recruited a husband since its establishment.
After all, Nüwa Palace was a Sage's place. Everyone below the Sage was insignificant. Her disciples and palace maids had no need to marry others.
Although the people of the Three Realms did not understand why Saint Nüwa had issued such a decree, this news still caused a commotion in the Three Realms, causing some of the Tongtian experts to be eager to give it a try.
Not to mention that the Empyrean Fairy was the only disciple of Nüwa, and not to mention that the Empyrean Fairy was backed by the Sage, who was a towering tree. Just the fact that the Empyrean Fairy was beautiful and was a beauty of the Three Realms, who was on par with the Fairy of Guanghan, was enough to make all the Tongtian mighty figures scramble for her.
Everyone loved beauty, but not everyone was as indifferent to women as Ye Xuan. The Empyrean Fairy's admirers were not as numerous as the carps crossing the river, but they were definitely not in the minority.
Marrying the Empyrean Fairy as his wife was a wonderful thing that made some of the Tongtian experts smile when they were in the midst of cultivation.
Nüwa Palace's son-in-law selection was a grand event that had never happened before. The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man were completely stirred. Countless Tongtian experts came into being, preparing to head to Nüwa Palace to participate in this grand event a hundred years later.
Yama Underworld, the Ghost Emperor came out, the Tongtian Great Demon King came out of nowhere, and even the ancient experts came out of the Blessed Enclave. The most terrifying thing was that it was suspected that a Sage-to-be had made a shocking statement that he was determined to get the Empyrean Fairy.
The Three Realms were in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion. A mere decree from the Sage had already caused a Sage-to-be to come into being. This was simply unimaginable.
…
The 33rd Celestial Court.
There were thousands of auspicious clouds, immortal islands, and celestial light sprinkling down from the sky. Cranes were roaming in the clouds, and many immortals were shuttling back and forth. Celestial soldiers and generals patrolled the sky from time to time.
Bullfighting Palace, Lingxiao Hall.
Ye Xuan sat high on the Celestial Emperor's throne, and the immortals of the Celestial Court stood on both sides of him. A heavy and oppressive atmosphere spread throughout the Lingxiao Hall.
The Sage's decree was known throughout the Heaven and Earth, so it was impossible for the immortals of the Celestial Court to not know about it. However, when Ye Xuan announced that he would head to Nüwa Palace to marry the Empyrean Fairy in a hundred years, all the immortals felt extremely heavy.
It should be known that the Nüwa Palace's son-in-law selection was no small matter. How could the people who could participate in this grand event be ordinary?
It was even rumored that a Sage-to-be had appeared and announced that he would marry the Empyrean Fairy. Although Ye Xuan was the Celestial Emperor of the Three Realms and had the support of the Tongtian, he could only return in defeat in the face of all the peak Zenith Heaven Realm experts and the terrifying Sage-to-be. He had embarrassed Ye Tiandi.
However, none of the immortals of the Celestial Court dared to advise him, because everyone knew that Ye Xuan's character was extremely overbearing. If anyone dared to refute Ye Xuan, it would be an act of seeking death.
"Celestial Emperor, this grand event will last for a hundred years. I'm willing to go to Aquamarine Palace to borrow the four Immortal-slaying Swords. When you go there with the four Immortal-slaying Swords, even the Sage-to-be will have to retreat."
Shen Gongbao frowned, but still stepped out of the crowd. Because Ye Xuan's fate was connected to the Jie Sect, if he went to Nüwa Palace and suffered a great defeat, it would also affect the rise of the Jie Sect.
The Celestial Court had just been established, the Chan Sect had not been destroyed, the Western Holy Mountain was beside it, and the Underworld had not been controlled. These were all things that Ye Xuan needed to do.
However, now that Ye Xuan wanted to marry the Empyrean Fairy, this was an extremely tricky matter. But Shen Gongbao also understood that the Celestial Court still lacked a Queen Mother, and only the Empyrean Fairy was worthy of the position.
In this grand event of Nüwa Palace, the third watershed of Daluo was definitely not a small number, and it was said that there was a Taoist field of Sage-to-be. Although Ye Xuan was the Celestial Emperor and his combat power was even more heaven-defying, it was still very dangerous for him to go against these people.
As a disciple of the Jie Sect, Shen Gongbao was even conferred as Ye Xuan's Guardian by Tongtian. He had the obligation to ensure Ye Xuan's safety. If Ye Xuan really wanted to go to Nüwa Palace, only the four Immortal-slaying Swords could let him kill everyone.
The four Immortal-slaying Swords were the number one killing weapon under the Heavenly Way. This was not just a saying, it had the monstrous power to destroy Gods and Ghosts.
In the past, Tongtian set up the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation to fight against the Four Sages alone. Although he was defeated and left Aquamarine Palace, from this, one could see how terrifying the four Immortal-slaying Swords were.
If Ye Xuan had the four Immortal-slaying Swords in hand, he would be invincible even without setting up the sword formation.
"Shen Gongbao is right. If the Celestial Emperor really wants to go to Nüwa Palace a hundred years later, you must have the four Immortal-slaying Swords in hand. Otherwise, we will not allow you to participate in this grand event." The Golden Spirit Shengmu bowed to Ye Xuan and said.
As the two spoke, the 24 Heavenly Inspectors, the 28 Mansions of the Heavenly Cycle, the 36 Stars of the Heavenly Spirit, the 72 Stars of the Earthly Fiend, and even the immortals of the Celestial Court echoed.
"You don't have to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind." Ye Xuan spoke from the throne of the Celestial Emperor, and the entire Lingxiao Hall fell silent.
Thump — Thump — Thump.
Ye Xuan's fingers tapped on the imperial table, producing rhythmic sounds. His expression was calm, and the immortals of the Celestial Court did not know what Ye Xuan was thinking.
In fact, no one knew that Ye Xuan had his own thoughts. He also knew that Shen Gongbao and the rest were not going against him, but were sincerely thinking for him.
The four Immortal-slaying Swords were the number one killing weapon under the Heavenly Dao, and it was also Tongtian's spiritual treasure. Ye Xuan naturally knew that if he borrowed the four Immortal-slaying Swords, he would be able to marry the Empyrean Fairy smoothly.
However, Ye Xuan could not afford to repay this favor!
When sages borrow treasures, karma engenders each other.
There was no love without reason in this world, and there was no hatred without reason. If Ye Xuan really borrowed the four Immortal-slaying Swords, then he would owe Tongtian a huge favor.
