The Demons Palace was too quiet. Only Donghuang Taiyi's heavy breathing could be heard. His eyes were burning with passion. Apparently, he was moved by Fengbo's suggestion.
"Your Majesty, think about it. As long as you become a Saint, you can naturally become the new Celestial Emperor. We don't want to be enemies with Ye Tiandi. When you become a Saint, what's done can't be undone. Ye Tiandi will need your help. He won't blame us."
Fengbo continued to persuade. His words were getting more and more passionate. What he said was even more reasonable.
Apparently, what Fengbo said made sense.
If Donghuang Taiyi became a Heavenly Saint, Ye Xuan wouldn't be able to say anything. Moreover, Donghuang Taiyi had no intention of rebelling. He would be a great help to Ye Xuan.
One had to know that Ye Xuan had conflicts with the Heavenly Dao Saints, so a great battle between the Saints might happen at any time. As for the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, it was already a certainty that he would become a Saint. Ye Xuan wouldn't push the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi to the opposite side.
"How dare you! You deserve to die!"
Suddenly, a cold and angry rebuke was heard. Emperor Jun looked at Fengbo with a murderous look. Strands of terrifying demonic light burst out, as if he would kill Fengbo in the next moment.
"Your Majesty, you...?"
Fengbo was shocked by Emperor Jun's murderous look. He didn't know why Emperor Jun wanted to kill him, nor did he know what he had done wrong.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Donghuang Taiyi frowned and asked.
"Brother, you're silly."
Di Jun let out a long sigh before glaring fiercely at Feng Bo. "Big Brother, don't be blinded by greed. Have you forgotten what kind of temperament Ye Tiandi has?"
"What kind of person?"
Donghuang Taiyi was stunned. In just three breaths, he turned pale. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes were extremely focused.
Looking at Donghuang Taiyi's pale face, Emperor Jun heaved a long sigh and said, "Big Brother, Emperor Ye Tiandi is a man of his word. He is also a man of iron and blood. No matter who goes against his will, they will suffer a great calamity."
"Fengbo's words seem reasonable, but that's only applicable to ordinary people. Ye Tiandi can't be judged by common sense!"
"Big Brother, don't forget how that Nüwa was knocked down from her position as a Saint. Could it be that Big Brother wants to follow in her footsteps?"
Donghuang Taiyi broke out in a cold sweat, while Fengbo collapsed to the ground. Apparently, Emperor Jun's words had frightened him as well.
"Although the Sage Seat is good, it is not fated to be with us. If not for second brother's reminder today, I'm afraid I would have made a huge mistake." Donghuang Taiyi said with a lingering fear.
"Your Majesty, Old Minister knows his mistake." Fengbo knelt down and kowtowed, trembling all over.
"This is the only time. If you do it again, don't blame me for disregarding our many years of friendship." Donghuang Taiyi scolded coldly.
"Brother, Ziwei has become a Saint. We must show our sincerity. We can't let Ye Tiandi see us as a hidden danger." Emperor Jun said softly.
"Don't worry, second brother. I was just blinded by greed. Now I've come to my senses. Moreover, without Ye Tiandi, we wouldn't be where we are today. We will never be able to repay his kindness." Donghuang Taiyi said.
…
Tushita Palace.
Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged in front of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams. A furnace of Nine Transformations Golden Pills was being refined in the Three True Flames. However, Taishang Laojun kept sighing. Apparently, he didn't pay attention to the furnace of pills.
"Becoming a Saint is still far away. Ye Xuan gave the Hong Meng Immortal Vapor to Ziwei. Isn't this cutting off my path to becoming a Saint?" Taishang Laojun murmured to himself. There was deep resentment in his eyes.
When he agreed to join the Celestial Court with Ye Xuan, he hoped to get rid of Lao Tzu's control. Ye Xuan used the Heaven-Destroying Halberd to cut off his connection with Lao Tzu, making him a true individual.
However, Taishang Laojun had Laozi's memories, as well as Laozi's divine abilities. Apart from the One Qi Into Three Pure Ones technique, he could be said to know all of Laozi's spells and divine abilities.
As the saying goes, standing on the shoulders of giants, Taishang Laojun naturally wasn't willing to just become a Pre-Saint. He was fully qualified to become a new Saint.
Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity to become a Saint. However, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. He could only blame himself.
Creak!
Suddenly, the sound of the palace door being pushed open could be heard. A gloomy voice sounded behind Taishang Laojun.
"Laojun, as long as you agree to a condition of my master, you can become a new Heavenly Saint."
"Hmm?"
Taishang Laojun was shocked. His Tushita Palace was a forbidden area of the Celestial Court. There was a large collection of Immortal Pills. Other than Ye Xuan who could enter and leave freely, anyone who wanted to see him had to report first.
Moreover, the current Thirty-Three Heavenly Courts could be said to be impregnable. It was extremely difficult for outsiders to even enter the Southern Heavenly Gate, let alone enter the Doushuai Palace. However, the person who suddenly appeared behind him seemed to have entered an uninhabited place. This simply shocked Taishang Laojun to the extreme.
He turned around abruptly and saw a face that was neither familiar nor unfamiliar.
"It's you?"
…
Youluo Palace.
Nether River Patriarch and Yellow Spring Patriarch raised their cups and drank. Kunpeng was fiddling with the jade scroll in his hand. Clearly, the three of them were having a small gathering.
"I didn't expect that Ziwei would become a Saint." Nether River Patriarch sighed bitterly. He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, as if to extinguish the melancholy in his heart.
"The Celestial Emperor wants him to become a Saint. This is an irreversible fact. Just accept your fate." Yellow Spring Patriarch joked.
"But … but that Ziwei is just a little Grand Heavenly … If this Saint's Position was given to someone else, I would accept it … but he …" Nether River Patriarch sighed and filled his cup again.
"So what if you don't accept it?"
Kunpeng smiled. "No one can go against Ye Tiandi's will. Since the Celestial Emperor has passed the Saint's Position to Ziwei, then we naturally have to follow the Celestial Emperor's will. Aren't you just asking for trouble by whining here?"
"Humph, Kunpeng, it's easy for you to say. I think you're the one who is most unconvinced." Nether River Patriarch was already melancholy. Kunpeng's taunting made him unhappy, so he retorted.
"I'm unconvinced by Ziwei, but I'm convinced by the Celestial Emperor. I'm not like you, Nether River Patriarch. You're holding back your dissatisfaction. Isn't that a joke?" Kunpeng sneered.
Bang!
Nether River Patriarch slammed the table and stood up. He was already irritated, and Kunpeng had angered him even more. At this moment, all his anger was surging, and Kunpeng had become his venting target.
"Kunpeng, how dare you taunt me? Do you believe that I won't tear off your wings?"
Clang!
Kunpeng smashed the wine cup on the ground. He looked at Nether River Patriarch and said coldly, "Others may be afraid of you, Nether River, but I don't care about you. Don't think that you can bully me just because you have the Nether Blood Sea."
