Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 242 - 242 241 Colossal Lie

242: 241 Colossal Lie 242: 241 Colossal Lie After all, although there were many Immortals in Heaven, perhaps not many truly served the Jade Emperor, and Ye Xuan, despite his unknown origins, possessed the cultivation of a Taiyin Mystic Immortal.

He had even vanquished Yuan Mo, causing its soul to scatter and perish.

If this person could serve the Jade Emperor, it would be a great boon.

“The Jade Emperor?” Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice taking on a somber tone.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Li Jing’s expression changed and he hastily reminded him, “Daoist, although you have merit in slaying Yuan Mo, His Majesty is the ruler of the Three Realms.

When you reach the Palace of the Polestar, you must perform the rituals of a subject, and you must never address the Jade Emperor directly by name, for that is a grave act of disrespect.

You must remember this.”

After saying this, Li Jing conjured a cloud and took Ye Xuan swiftly towards the Palace of the Polestar.

During this journey, he tried to inquire about Ye Xuan’s background, but Ye Xuan evaded the questions.

Ye Xuan could not tell him that he was actually not from the Earth Immortal Realm, but from the Human World; such information, if disclosed, would likely cause a great stir.

…

At the same time, in the Dou Niu Palace, Palace of the Polestar.

The Heavenly Vault was limitless, stars filled the sky, and a celestial light faintly glowed within the Palace of the Polestar.

The Jade Emperor was dressed in a golden Imperial Robe, seated solemnly, with rows of Immortal Officials and Divine Generals standing below, each wearing a solemn and respectful expression.

“Announcing, the Immortal from the Lower Realm, Ye Xuan, seeks an audience.”

Following the call of the Immortal Official, with Li Jing leading the way, Ye Xuan entered the Palace of the Polestar.

However, as Ye Xuan looked at the assembly of Immortals gathered, his pupils tightened slightly and his spirit gave a hard jolt before regaining calmness, his expression becoming even more indifferent.

It was no wonder Ye Xuan was shocked, for he discovered that among these Immortals, there were several whose cultivation was immensely powerful, surpassing even his status as a Taiyin Mystic Immortal.

Yet, Ye Xuan also noticed something else: these highly cultivated Immortals all sat with closed eyes, as though nothing could disturb their composure.

“It seems that Heaven is not completely united!” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he sneered inwardly, a daring idea forming in his mind.

“Is this the one below who killed Yuan Mo, the Immortal from the Lower Realm, Ye Xuan?”

The Jade Emperor, high above, with his handsome and scholarly features, commanded respect with just one glance, speaking authoritatively to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of wariness flickering through them, for he could not discern the Jade Emperor’s cultivation.

Just one glance from this ruler of the Three Realms gave Ye Xuan an inscrutable feeling.

“I am indeed Ye Xuan!”

Ye Xuan, full of Taoist spirit, performed a Taoist salute, neither servile nor haughty, embodying the transcendent aura of an Immortal who is beyond the Three Realms and not confined to the Five Elements.

“How dare you, a mere Independent Immortal from the Lower Realm, enter the Heavenly Palace to meet His Majesty without kneeling?” An Immortal Official leapt forward, furiously rebuking Ye Xuan.

“Your Majesty, this Lower Realm Independent Immortal lacks all manners, regarding the celestial laws as nothing.

He should be punished by being cast into the Beast Path to undergo reincarnation for ten lifetimes, to atone for his disrespect towards Heaven.”

Huode Xingjun’s temperament was explosive.

Although he was simply a Golden Immortal in his cultivation, he particularly looked down upon the Independent Immortals of the Lower Realm, viewing them as disrespectful toward Heaven and Earth, nothing more than a rabble; hence his fury erupted.

It was not surprising that Huode Xingjun targeted Ye Xuan, because tens of thousands of years ago, ever since that monkey breached the Heavenly Palace, the prestige of the Heavenly Court plummeted.

Many Demon Kings from the Earth Immortal Realm regarded Heaven as nothing, and numerous Independent Immortals scorned the idea of associating with the Immortals of Heaven.

This situation had become extremely severe, which was why Huode Xingjun targeted Ye Xuan.

Not only did Huode Xingjun hold this view, but the Immortal of Colossal Spirit stepped forward even more, his voice booming like a great bell, “Your Majesty has always been clear about rewards and punishments.

Although these Independent Immortals of the Lower Realm do have some merit in eliminating demons, they also carry the sin of disrespecting Heaven.

While merits should be rewarded, the sin of disrespecting Heaven should send them to the Immortal Slaying Stage.”

This scene left the Group of Immortals coldly observant.

Both Huode Xingjun and the Immortal of Colossal Spirit were close to the Jade Emperor, clearly intending to intimidate Ye Xuan to demonstrate the majesty of the Heavenly Court, and effectively to flatter the Jade Emperor indirectly.

“Beyond the Three Realms, outside the Five Elements, undying and unsoiled.”

“Born at the dawn of Heaven and Earth, attaining Dao in the Primordial Era, I saw Hong Jun, the Ancestor Daoist, merge with the Dao.

I witnessed The Three Pure Ones establish their teachings and become Saints, and Nuwa mending the Heaven and creating humanity.

Knowing only the Dao, not Heaven, aside from Hong Jun who merged with the Dao himself, who else dares to claim they are Heaven?”

“If Hongjun were here, I would certainly bow down; otherwise, even The Three Pure Ones dare not represent Heaven.”

“Although the Heavenly Court is noble, how could it represent Heaven to make me bow?”

Faced with the Group of Immortals and the high and mighty Jade Emperor, Ye Xuan was fearless, spouting utter nonsense and using big names to shield himself, bringing up both Hong Jun and The Three Pure Ones.

This left the Group of Immortals profoundly silent, their gazes filled with shock toward Ye Xuan.

Although Ye Xuan had only recently entered the Earth Immortal Realm, he had learned some information from the Moon God about it.

The Demon Kings of the Earth Immortal Realm disdained the Heavenly Court, and many powerful beings even held themselves as ancestors.

If he were to bow to the Heavenly Court today, how would he stand in the Earth Immortal Realm in the future without being mocked by Demon Kings and powerful beings?

Of course, Ye Xuan rambling nonsense also rested on solid confidence: he was not originally from the Earth Immortal Realm, he was not listed in the Underworld’s Life and Death Book, and his origins were not in the Immortal Book of the Heavenly Court.

No matter how Heaven investigated him, it would be fruitless; they simply couldn’t trace his origins, which fueled Ye Xuan’s confidence to spout nonsense.

The most critical reason was that while Ye Xuan bragged and boasted, he also aimed to cast a mysterious veil over himself, eliciting wariness from the Jade Emperor and the Group of Immortals.

Of course, Ye Xuan’s cultivation was laid out there; if he truly had achieved Dao in the Primordial Era, how could he only have the cultivation of the Taiyin Mystic Immortal?

But that didn’t matter, for Ye Xuan naturally had another set of rhetoric ready.

“In the past, moved by Hong Jun merging with the Dao, I made a great vow to enlighten the masses with my body.

Yet, during the great calamity fought alongside Donghuang Taiyi against the Witch Demons, I perished at the hands of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Though a trace of my Primordial Spirit survived and barely lived on until this era to see the light of day once more, if the Heavenly Court seeks to bully me for my weak cultivation now, I might as well perish utterly even if it means a mutual destruction.”

Ye Xuan was speaking without restraint, having blown his claims sky-high, even bringing up the poorly understood calamity of the Witch Demons.

This left the present Group of Immortals flabbergasted, uncertain whether Ye Xuan’s words were true or false.

Boom!

Billions of Soul Suppressing Banners fluttered out, Ye Xuan’s expression mournful as he stood in the Palace of the Polestar, ready to burn both the jade and the common stone.

At this moment, the Palace of the Polestar was deadly silent, everyone pondering whether Ye Xuan’s words were true or false.
