From the Jade Emperor to Sect Master Wang, from the top to the bottom, when they heard this answer, it was no different from when Yang Chen heard Old Demon Yi's answer. They were all in complete disbelief.
Especially the Jade Emperor. He went in and out of the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches almost every day, but he never thought that the palace itself was a half-world. If Yang Chen hadn't told him the truth, he didn't know how long he would have been confused. In the past, he had always thought that it was just a high-grade cave abode.
However, after the initial shock, all of the core members of the Mysterious Heaven Sect began to have other thoughts. The Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches was a half-world, and it was a half-world that the Zhao family wanted to refine and absorb. If they could use this opportunity to absorb and refine the Zhao family's God Realm, it would mean that they could control the Immortal Realm and thus the Three Realms. When that time came, so what if the Mystic Heaven Sect was cut off from the Spiritual Realm in the mortal realm? They could completely develop more perfectly than they had now.
Just a few sentences ago, they were still punishing Yang Chen for his greed, but now, all of them were making the same mistake.
Once this thought appeared, it multiplied like a virus and occupied the consciousness of the higher-ups of the Mystic Heaven Sect. Their minds could no longer contain any other thoughts. What was more attractive than being able to completely control the Three Realms? This kind of desire was definitely not something that the higher-ups of the Mystic Heaven Sect, who had already tasted power, could resist. It was also not something that the once high and mighty Mystic Heaven Sect, which had now lost its foundation, could resist.
At this moment, everyone no longer had any thoughts of pursuing Yang Chen. They wanted nothing more than to rush to the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches and refine it into something that belonged to the Mystic Heaven Sect. The Zhao family should also immediately send the God Realm to their doorstep and become a stepping stone for the Mystic Heaven Sect to rise again. This was the right thing to do.
Yang Chen stood opposite them and quietly looked at the higher-ups of the Mystic Heaven Sect who appeared calm on the surface, but their hearts were in turmoil. He saw the ambition and desire that occasionally appeared on their faces uncontrollably. Yang Chen's expression didn't change. On the surface, he still treated them as respectable elders, but in his heart, it was as if he was looking at a group of dead people.
"Elders, this disciple also realized that this matter needs to be considered at length, so I feel that it is not appropriate to act rashly." When the higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect slowly calmed down from their fanaticism, Yang Chen reminded them, "Even if the Sect has the conditions to make a move, we can't act rashly, lest we alert the enemy. On top of that, we have to give the cultivators of the Heavenly Court an explanation. Hence, I feel that it's best to make all the necessary preparations and pretend to be on the defensive when the Zhao Family makes their move. "
Yang Chen said these words with sincerity, as if he was really thinking for the sake of the Black Heaven Sect. He believed that everyone from the Jade Emperor to the Xuantian Sect Master to Sect Master Wang, who had the lowest seniority, would be able to hear Yang Chen's good intentions.
Logically speaking, this was a good and correct thing to say. The upper echelons of the Mysterious Heaven Sect should take it seriously and act according to this mentality. However, Yang Chen knew very well that his words would not have the desired effect and might even have the opposite effect. Rather than saying that Yang Chen was advising the higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect to delay and wait for the Zhao Family to make a move before counterattacking, it was more accurate to say that Yang Chen was instigating the higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect to make the first move.
The Mysterious Heaven Sect's status and way of doing things determined that they would never passively accept a battle. Since they knew everything, they knew what the opponent wanted, and they knew that the target was in their hands. Under such circumstances, waiting for the opponent to attack them before striking was not the Mysterious Heaven Sect's style.
The Mysterious Heaven Sect had always liked to make a move directly and kill any possible threat while they were still in the cradle. This time, they were facing the Zhao Family, the public enemy of the world. There was no need to consider whether it was moral or not. No matter how they took the initiative to make a move, no one would jump out and say that the Mysterious Heaven Sect was in the wrong.
It should be known that ever since the Mysterious Heaven Sect had been suppressed, whenever the Mysterious Heaven Sect wanted to do something big or deal with a Sect, they would be criticized by the other Sects. This was not the first time that they had been restrained. However, no one could say anything against taking action against the Zhao Family. They might even have to cooperate with the Mysterious Heaven Sect. What was the Mysterious Heaven Sect pursuing now? Wasn't it the position of a leader?
"Indeed, we need to think about it at length." The Jade Emperor was more clear-headed and immediately agreed with Yang Chen's words. However, he only agreed with a part of it. If they wanted to take action, they had to plan well first. They definitely would not be passive like what Yang Chen had said. They had to plan carefully and then take the initiative to attack.
Everyone discussed for a while and did not come up with any specific conclusions for the time being. The only thing they were certain about was that they had to take action. The Soaring Heaven King Palace had to take it and the Zhao Family could not let them succeed. As for how to do this, the higher-ups still needed to make further plans. They had to wait until the Jade Emperor confirmed that the Soaring Heaven King Palace was indeed a Half World.
What Yang Chen could do was to return the cave dwelling magic treasure that contained the thousands of experts that the Mysterious Heaven Sect had given to him last time to Sect Master Wang. The future plan would definitely require a large number of experts. Yang Chen and the Chunyang Palace definitely could not help openly. Therefore, the Mysterious Heaven Sect still needed these experts. After all, one more Tribulation True Immortal meant one more chance of success.
At this point, Yang Chen's goal of meeting the higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect had been achieved and he said goodbye. The Jade Emperor and the others encouraged Yang Chen again and told him to pay more attention to safety, alchemy, and so on. In fact, after receiving the news, the vague dissatisfaction with Yang Chen had disappeared without a trace. At the critical moment, this disciple still resisted the temptation and was loyal to the sect. This was the best proof.
Before leaving, the Jade Emperor gave Yang Chen a batch of jade slips that recorded the alchemy experience of the alchemy masters of the Mysterious Heaven Sect in the Immortal Realm. This was a reward for Yang Chen. The previous punishment was not revoked, but he would still be rewarded for his contributions.
"After going back, find a safe place to do closed-door training and announce it to the public." Sect Master Wang gave Yang Chen instructions in person. This was also an action plan in advance. "It's best not to let anyone know where your closed-door training is. In this way, the Zhao Family can't find you and can't get the Mountain River Geographical Map. They can only take the risk and attack the Soaring Heaven King Palace. This is convenient for us."
"Then this disciple can't help?" Yang Chen seemed to be a little unwilling and wanted to intervene in it to help, and asked anxiously.
"Don't act rashly and expose yourself." Sect Master Wang comforted Yang Chen with a smile. "Believe me, in another thousand years, you can return to the Mysterious Heaven Sect."
