"Celestial Emperor, I …?"
True Monarch Crocodile Demon's eyes reddened. He had never expected Ye Xuan to give him a peach of immortality even though he had already expressed his intention to leave.
"Go. If you join the Ancient Demon Court in the future, you will be an enemy of the Celestial Court. I will not take into account our past relationship."
"I dare not make an enemy of the Celestial Emperor. From now on, I will live in seclusion in the Lower World and will not participate in the battle between the two Celestial Court." True Monarch Crocodile Demon's eyes were filled with tears as he turned and left the Lingxiao Hall.
"Old Minister is ashamed to face Your Majesty. However, as a member of the Demon Race, I cannot make an enemy of the Ancient Demon Court. From now on, I will live in seclusion in the Lower World."
Another Demon King bid farewell with a trembling voice. Ye Xuan gave him a Golden Core and allowed him to leave.
As the saying went, if there was a first, there would be a second. More and more Demon Kings stepped forward and bid farewell to Ye Xuan. However, all of them had a look of shame on their faces.
However, Ye Xuan appeared very calm. He gave the Golden Core and immortality peaches to the Demon Kings who wanted to leave. Ye Xuan did not stop them at all. He even gave them all kinds of treasures and allowed them to leave the Celestial Court.
Soon, hundreds of Demon Kings bid farewell and left. Only half of the Demon Kings were left in the Lingxiao Hall.
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave the Celestial Court?" Ye Xuan looked around at the Demon Kings present.
"Celestial Emperor, I have been following you since the North Continent. Although the Ancient Demon Court is the orthodox Demon Race, I, the Sky-Devouring Toad, do not know who Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun are. I will never leave you."
The Sky-Devouring Toad roared and turned to look at his brother, who was also one of the ten Demon Kings of the Tongtian Ridge.
"What are you waiting for? Either continue to follow the Celestial Emperor or get out of the Celestial Court."
"What are you talking about, Big Brother? Our cultivation is all thanks to the Celestial Emperor. The Ancient Demon Court did not do us any favors, so we naturally have to follow the Celestial Emperor loyally."
King Qing Qiu scolded and directly knelt before Ye Xuan. The Ten Great Monster Kings of the past all followed suit and expressed their loyalty to Ye Xuan.
"Your Majesty, although I have never followed you in the lower realm, I, the Ninth Extreme Demon Lord, was forced into a corner by the Chan School. If the Celestial Emperor had not taken me in, I would have died at the hands of the Chan School's immortals. Although the Ancient Demon Court is the orthodox demon race, it has not shown me any kindness. I am willing to follow the Celestial Emperor, even if it means becoming enemies with the Ancient Demon Court."
The Ninth Extreme Demon Lord was once an evil demon. At this moment, he bowed to Ye Xuan, and his voice was even more powerful.
"That's right. Although we are members of the demon race, the Ancient Demon Court has not shown us any kindness. Instead, it was you, the Celestial Emperor, who has nurtured us for tens of thousands of years. If the Ancient Demon Court declares war on the Celestial Emperor, we will definitely follow you to death."
The Three-Eyed Evil Immortal was a Great Monster King of the lower realm. At this moment, he was bowing three times to Ye Xuan because he was able to break through the Daluo Jinxian because Ye Xuan had given him a 6,000-year-old immortal peach. He had never forgotten this kindness.
Some Monster Kings left, while others stayed. Ye Xuan nodded slowly, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes.
The Monster King Ye Xuan, who had left, was not angry at all. This was because Ye Xuan knew very well that the Ancient Demon Court was the orthodox demon race. Moreover, they had the support of Nüwa, a Saint of the demon race. It was naturally difficult for them to be stuck in the middle.
The people who stayed were the most loyal to Ye Xuan. They were also the people who could truly be used by Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan naturally would not treat them unfairly.
At this moment, the Jie School lineage was hesitant. Half of the Celestial Court's Monster Kings had left. It seemed like the Celestial Court's strength had been greatly reduced, but this was actually a good thing.
This was because Ye Xuan had to follow orders. If he really waited for the Celestial Court to declare war on the Ancient Demon Court, these Monster Kings who had left might very well become a hidden danger. Perhaps they would give Ye Xuan a fatal blow.
Ye Xuan had to plan ahead and take everything into account. This was because one had to settle the internal situation before dealing with external threats. This was the method that a superior should have.
"Alright, since you are willing to continue following me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. In ten thousand years, the Ancient Demon Court will start the Myriad Demon Meet. I want you to quickly improve your cultivation in these ten thousand years. Be it the Immortal Peach or the Golden Core, as long as it can improve your cultivation, I will give it to you."
Ye Xuan paused and looked directly at Grand Supreme Elder, Kun Peng, and the others.
"Fellow Daoists, you are all Sage-to-be and have great divine abilities. In the next ten thousand years, I will have to trouble you to teach the Monster Kings present."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Kun Peng bowed, showing that he was duty-bound.
Grand Supreme Elder and Kong Xuan nodded in agreement. Obviously, when the Myriad Demon Meet started ten thousand years later, the demons of the Three Realms would be loyal to the Ancient Demon Court. The battle between the Celestial Court and the Ancient Demon Court was unavoidable.
The three Sage-to-be had to teach the Monster Kings of the Celestial Court in the next ten thousand years. This was also to improve the cultivation and strength of the Celestial Court.
"Court is dismissed!"
As Venus Taibai's voice sounded in the Lingxiao Hall, the immortals of the Celestial Court took their leave. However, Shen Gongbao and the other immortals of the Jie Sect were bewildered. Shen Gongbao even wanted to talk to Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan had already left the Lingxiao Hall.
Obviously, the attitude of the Jie Sect was unclear. This was not the result that Ye Xuan wanted. Even if Shen Gongbao explained it to him, it could not solve the fundamental problem.
As for whether the Jie School should stay in the Heavenly Court, the only person who could make the decision was the Grandmaster of Heaven.
…
Outside the Thirty-third Heaven, in the Aquamarine Palace.
The sea of stars was turbulent, and the big stars were rotating. Ye Xuan strolled in the Luminous Starry Sky. With every step he took, he covered a distance of ten thousand miles. Until he stood in front of the Aquamarine Palace, there was no aura around him.
Rumble!
The door of the Aquamarine Palace opened with a rumble. Two Taoist children walked out of the door and bowed to Ye Xuan.
"The Patriarch knew that the Celestial Emperor was coming and ordered us to welcome you. Please."
The two Taoist children opened the door and made an inviting gesture to Ye Xuan. This also made Ye Xuan nod and enter the Aquamarine Palace with a calm expression.
In the Aquamarine Palace.
The aura of Chaos flowed endlessly, and the misty holy light rippled endlessly. There was nothing in the surroundings except for a green lotus floating in the void. On the green lotus, there was a stalwart figure sitting cross-legged.
Tap — tap — tap.
The sound of unhurried footsteps could be heard. Ye Xuan walked along the bluestone path until he stopped. Then he looked at the person on the green lotus.
"Greetings, Tongtian." Ye Xuan cupped his hands and bowed. His posture was neither humble nor arrogant.
"You're finally here." Tongtian's holy light covered his body, and he let out a long sigh.
"Hierarch knows why I'm here," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Ye Xuan, you should know that you're walking the path of proving Dao with strength. Although this method does make your battle strength heaven-defying, a Sage-to-be is only a Sage-to-be. It's impossible for you to become a Sage-to-be. The Jie Sect was created by me, so …!" Tongtian sighed and did not continue.
