Slaying Demons, Revealing the Saint True Monarch!

The Emperor Jade Decree spread throughout the Three Realms, but it didn’t cause any ripples within the Three Realms.

If there had to be a slight stir, it was only that the Demon King of the Earth Immortal Realm scoffed at the title granted to Ye Xuan, not taking it to heart at all.

As for who Ye Xuan was, nobody really cared.

The Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, with different Daoist lineages, had more disputes.

The Chan Sect was founded by Yuanshi Tianzun; its disciples were mostly orthodox immortals and were considered the mainstream of Taoism.

The Jie Sect was created by the Heavenly Sect Master; it accepted all sorts of demons, spirits, and monsters, believing in inclusiveness without discrimination.

However, after the war of Investiture, many from the Jie Sect were dead or injured, and a large number of its members were conferred divine status.

It could be said that the lineage of the Jie Sect had further declined.

Investiture!

It seemed prestigious, but in fact, it was extremely tragic.

After immortals died, a part of their Primordial Spirit was confined by the Investiture of the Gods, turned into deities, with their cultivation never to advance again.

They could only hold divine positions within the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, and the Investiture of the Gods was controlled by the Jade Emperor.

Although the Jie Sect was in decline, a thin camel was still bigger than a horse; the Heavenly Sect Master was one of The Three Pure Ones, and there weren’t many in the Three Realms who dared to provoke the members of the Jie Sect.

The Chan Sect had the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, and disciples of the third and fourth generations had spread their branches far and wide; they only revered Yuanshi Tianzun and did not respect the Heavenly Court’s orders.

The Southern Longevity Heavenly Venerate was a member of the Chan Sect.

In Xiniu Hezhou, eschewing greed and killing, devotedly practicing Buddhism, at the great Thunderclap Monastery on Lingshan, where gods and buddhas from the heavens gathered, its heritage was unimaginably profound.

The Earth Immortal Realm, with its four great divine continents, had countless divine skill masters establishing their sects, admitting innumerable disciples.

Among them, the most renowned was the Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple, hailed as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.

Besides Immortal Zhenyuan, the four divine continents also hosted endless Demon Kings who occupied spirit mountains and cave residences, ruling their domains.

The Four Seas were ruled by the Dragon Kings, with a water army vast and endless.

Yama’s Underworld.

Eighteen Layers of Hell, Ten Palaces Yama, civil and military Judges, Oxhead and Horseface, Black and White Impermanence, the Underworld City God…

This was a dazzling world, an era where countless paths contended, incomparable to the Human World realm where Ye Xuan resided.

Luanyun Palace!

Ye Xuan and Gold Star Taibai sat cross-legged facing each other.

“Ye Daoist, I must remind you, this Earth Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, some people you can offend, but some you cannot.

I hope Ye Daoist will take care,” Gold Star Taibai said with a smile, rising to his feet.

He bowed to Ye Xuan, then mounted a cloud and departed from Luanyun Palace.

Today, Gold Star Taibai came here to share some information about the Earth Immortal Realm with Ye Xuan.

Although it seemed like a kind reminder to Ye Xuan, it was actually just probing for his background.

But Ye Xuan also learned about the situation in the Earth Immortal Realm from Gold Star Taibai, which made him look solemn and fall into deep thought.

…

Dou Niu Palace!

The Jade Emperor was clad in a green Taoist robe, and Gold Star Taibai was currently bowing, reporting something to him.

“Your Majesty, this Ye Xuan is very secretive, like water that does not leak.

There’s indeed no record of him in the Heavenly Book.

I’m afraid this person has no simple origin,” Gold Star Taibai said.

“I, as the Jade Emperor, govern the Three Realms; as long as he behaves himself, no matter which Daoist lineage he belongs to, he must listen to my orders,” the Jade Emperor stated calmly, with his own supreme majesty as the Three Realms Supreme.

“Your Majesty, in the battle against Yuan Mo, Ye Xuan used a Demon Path’s Soul Suppressing Banner, and although he’s concealing his aura, the murderous and fierce energy around him is by no means that of a good sort.”

“I’m only worried that by nurturing a tiger, we’re inviting trouble that repeats the events of yesteryear,” Gold Star Taibai expressed his concerns.

The Jade Emperor’s breath hitched, his calm complexion turning somewhat livid as the image of a monkey with the mouth of Lei Gong flashed in his mind, a hint of murderous intent subtly passing through his eyes.

“That year, the monkey was born to fulfill the prophesy, causing a great loss of face in our Heaven, and all this was orchestrated by the Western Two Saints,” the Jade Emperor said, his voice pausing slightly, “but this Ye Xuan is too mysterious, even I cannot deduce his origins, I fear this is the work of a Saint, so I have no choice but to appease him for now.”

“If he remains obedient and serves me well, I will surely not treat him unfairly, but if he is without any backing and harbors wild ambition, then I may have no choice but to send him to the Immortal Slaying Stage for a visit.”

Others might not know the Jade Emperor’s cultivation, but how could Gold Star Taibai not?

He bowed deeply and said, “Your Imperial Majesty’s heavenly might, back then that monkey was arrogant and insolent, and the group of Immortals indifferently watched on.

If not for the fact that Your Majesty, the Supreme of the Three Realms, should not have intervened, that monkey would have been suppressed by you long ago.

How could this Ye Xuan compare to that monkey?

He surely cannot escape the palm of your hand.”

“Go, keep a close watch on this man, and report to me immediately if he steps out of line,” the Jade Emperor said calmly.

“Your servant obeys,” Gold Star Taibai bowed and retreated.

In the Dou Niu Palace, the Jade Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, surrounded by Immortal Light, his voice murmured in puzzlement, “What is the origin of this Ye Xuan, that even my Hao Tian Immortal Technique cannot deduce?”

…

Luanyun Palace.

The palace had no ceiling, just the endless expanse of stars.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void, waking from deep contemplation.

“The Three Realms are far too complicated, these so-called schemes and plots are merely methods, one must be powerful oneself, that is what matters,” Ye Xuan murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with sharpness as they opened and closed.

Hum!

With a light flick of Ye Xuan’s sleeve, the Moon God appeared dazed in the Luanyun Palace.

Upon sensing the surrounding spiritual energy, her entire being lit up with joy, her body trembling with excitement.

“The…

the Earth Immortal Realm…

Is this the Earth Immortal Realm?” The Moon God bit her lip, her voice trembling.

“Not only is this the Earth Immortal Realm, we are now within the Heavenly Court,” Ye Xuan said indifferently.

“Heavenly Court!”

The Moon God’s face paled, as she finally saw the expanse of stars above her head, and the glorious aura flowing through the heavenly vault.

“I…

I’m back…

I…

I must find my master.”

The Moon God spoke and began to walk out of the Luanyun Palace, evidently eager to return to the Guanghan Fairy having just arrived back in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Unfortunately, before the Moon God could take a few steps, a beam of Immortal Light froze her in place, the temperature within the Luanyun Palace rapidly dropping, and an unspeakable, silent terror began to invade the Moon God.

At that moment!

The Moon God’s face froze, and with a trembling turn, she looked back at Ye Xuan, only to see his eyes slightly narrowed and Taiyi Immortal Light circulating between his fingertips, his gaze on the Moon God revealing a chilling intent.

“What…

what do you want to do?” The Moon God bit down on her pearl-like teeth, her eyes showing signs of panic.

Step—Step—Step!

Ye Xuan walked forward, each step landing as though a great mountain was incessantly hammering away at the very tip of the Moon God’s heart, causing a trace of despair to cross her eyes, as she realized what Ye Xuan intended.

“Do you intend to kill me?”

“Should I not kill you?”

A simple exchange, yet it brimming with intense killing intent.

The logic was simple.

Ye Xuan was not of the Earth Immortal Realm.

He had spread a grand lie, deceiving the group of Immortals, and the only ones who knew his true identity were his Primordial Spirit and this woman.

And only the dead can keep a secret.

This was Ye Xuan’s reason for wanting to kill the Moon God.
