Chapter 252 - 252 251 Token of Jade Purity

252: Chapter 251: Token of Jade Purity 252: Chapter 251: Token of Jade Purity “Ye Xuan, I, as the ruler of the Three Realms, have insight into all affairs and beings.

I certainly won’t allow you to be wronged, yet I can only first order you to be thrown into the Heavenly Prison.

Once the matter is investigated clearly, justice will be returned to you.”

“Where are the Four Great Heavenly Kings?”

“Your servants are here.”

The Four Great Heavenly Kings stepped forward and bowed deeply before the Jade Emperor.

“For now, take Ye Xuan into custody.

If the truth is uncovered tomorrow, justice shall be restored to the Ye family.”

The Jade Emperor spoke with an air of dignity and integrity, while the Four Great Heavenly Kings looked momentarily startled, then reluctantly moved toward Ye Xuan, obviously following the Jade Emperor’s command.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan let out a cold snort, as he furiously waved the Soul Suppressing Banner in his hand.

The entire Hall of the Polestar shook violently, and ghostly wails filled the air.

“I am a reincarnated Ancient Daluo Golden Immortal, beyond the boundaries of the Three Realms and not constricted by the Five Elements.

Even the Heavenly Court has no right to detain me.

If the Jade Emperor proceeds with such actions, then do not blame me for being unreasonable!”

Boom!

Taiyi Immortal Light erupted in all directions, as the Soul Suppressing Banner swayed.

Ye Xuan performed hand seals, and a terrifying aura enveloped the area, causing the faces of the Four Great Heavenly Kings to change drastically, unsure of how to react.

“How dare you, Ye Xuan!

Do you seek to rebel?”

“The Jade Emperor, this Daoist is unruly and domineering; he deserves to be sent to the Immortal Slaying Stage to face punishment.”

The Fire Virtue Star Lord and the Martial Virtue Star Lord shouted indignantly, their Spiritual Treasures radiating bright Immortal Light.

They joined the Four Great Heavenly Kings, closing in on Ye Xuan, ready to launch a joint attack.

“Today, the Heavenly Court has gone too far in their bullying.

Don’t blame me for acting recklessly!”

Ye Xuan’s expression was ice-cold as he violently shook the Soul Suppressing Banner.

Completely disregarding the gathering of Immortals present, he manipulated the hand seals, summoning a vast expanse of Taiyi Immortal Light, pressing down directly on the Four Great Heavenly Kings and two Star Lords.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Immortal Light exploded, and the Hall of the Polestar trembled.

When Ye Xuan lashed out, if not for the protective array guarding it, his single strike could have shattered the Palace of the Polestar itself.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The Four Great Heavenly Kings and the two Star Lords—mere True Immortals in cultivation—were no match for Ye Xuan.

With just one strike, he inflicted heavy injuries on the six of them, fresh blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

This scene caused the assembly of Immortals to observe indifferently, occasionally gauging Ye Xuan and sneakily watching for any changes in the Jade Emperor’s expression.

At that moment!

The Jade Emperor’s face flickered with shades of light and dark, celestial light around him slightly chaotic.

His jade-like palms clenched and unclenched intermittently, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan subtly revealed a trace of murderous intent, although he quickly suppressed this emotion.

In truth, the day’s events were but a test the Jade Emperor had posed for Ye Xuan.

If Ye Xuan had surrendered without a fight, it would prove that he had no support and the Jade Emperor could manipulate him at will.

However, the Jade Emperor had not anticipated that Ye Xuan would react so vehemently, seemingly ready to go down fighting.

This made him wary and he speculated about who could be backing Ye Xuan.

In reality, while Ye Xuan appeared arrogant and unafraid, he was actually panicked on the inside.

This was his gamble, and it was a dangerously bold maneuver.

Since being targeted by Star Lord Mu Yao, Ye Xuan knew the Jade Emperor was orchestrating behind the scenes.

Should he show any sign of weakness today, the fate awaiting him would be utterly tragic.

Not to mention that there were several Taiyi Golden Immortals among the group of immortals present, Ye Xuan couldn’t even fathom the Jade Emperor’s cultivation.

If the Jade Emperor personally took action against him, even though he possessed a secret technique like the Primordial Spirit Void, he feared he might not be able to escape Heaven.

Back then, that monkey wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace because he had a powerful backer; the Jade Emperor simply couldn’t afford to offend him and had no choice but to let the monkey do as he pleased without daring to utter a single complaint.

But Ye Xuan knew his own situation all too well; he was rootless and alone.

How could he compare to that monkey?

Ye Xuan had no choice but to show a fearless demeanor, as if he had a powerful support behind him.

Only in this way could he make the Jade Emperor increasingly wary of him.

The Jade Emperor was testing Ye Xuan, and wasn’t Ye Xuan also testing the Jade Emperor?

It was a silent contest of wits between the two men, and it was a matter of who would show weakness first — losing the upper hand.

Moreover, Ye Xuan knew that if he could survive this ordeal, he could establish his authority well, lay a foundation in the Heavenly Court, and let all the immortals in Heaven know that Ye Xuan was not to be trifled with so easily.

The Jade Emperor’s expression fluctuated with uncertainty as he silently observed Ye Xuan’s face, trying to see a hint of panic.

But Ye Xuan was arrogantly defiant, and as the Soul Suppressing Banner waved, it sent a large number of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flying in disarray.

Where was there any sign of timidity?

“Let it be, you all retreat.

Official Ye, please do not be angered,” the Jade Emperor finally couldn’t hold back and spoke with feigned authority.

Hum!

Ye Xuan retracted the Soul Suppressing Banner, looking resolute and unyielding, while the group of immortals exchanged sidelong glances, wonder flashing across their eyes as they speculated on what kind of backing Ye Xuan had, to dare defy the Jade Emperor in the Palace of the Polestar.

“Jade Emperor, since the Heavenly Court believes that I, Ye Xuan, am easily bullied, then I have no need for this position of True Monarch.

From now on, I will descend to the Lower Realm and enjoy the life of a carefree Independent Immortal,” Ye Xuan said, prepared to take the Soul Suppressing Banner and leave the Palace of the Polestar.

But how could the Jade Emperor let him go?

“Official Ye, do not be angry.

I merely wished to test your cultivation.

I am about to entrust you with a great responsibility; how could I truly send you to the Heavenly Prison?” The Jade Emperor said with a smile as he rose to his feet, no longer showing any anger and continuously trying to pacify Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan paused in his steps, knowing when to take advantage of the situation.

If he truly did not know when to advance or retreat and caused the Jade Emperor to break ties with him, that was certainly not the outcome he wanted to see.

“Your Majesty is wise.

The matter with Lord Wood Shine has nothing to do with your servant, surely someone is deceiving Your Majesty.

Please be just for your servant,” Ye Xuan said, feigning a heartache.

Hum!

Suddenly, while the group of immortals watched indifferently, a myriad of colorful lights burst forth from the Heavenly Vault, and a golden token descended from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

As the golden token unfolded, a billion rays of golden light enveloped the Palace of the Polestar.

Everyone present, including the Jade Emperor, froze in astonishment, unable to move.

“A… Pure Yang Token?”

The Jade Emperor exclaimed in horror, his face turning extremely pale, while the group of immortals all prostrated themselves, panic evident in every Immortal’s eyes.

“In the beginning of Heaven and Earth, when the Dao was born, Ye Xuan fell from the Primordial Era, but now returns to the Taoist lineage.

He is hereby ordained as the Protecting Law Heavenly God of Pure Yang!”

Line by line, the golden characters filled the Heavenly Vault, and as they dissipated, a golden token descended, causing Ye Xuan to stand transfixed, receiving it in his hands, his pupils narrowing slightly.

“Daoist Ye, should you not thank Yuanshi Tianzun?” Gold Star Taibai reminded in a trembling voice.

“Obeying the Dharma Decree of Yuanshi Tianzun!” Ye Xuan struggled to compose himself and spoke respectfully while holding the golden token.

…

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Yuxu Palace.

There sat a Daoist enveloped by Chaos, his features indiscernible, but as his eyes opened and closed, it seemed as though he could peer through all of Heaven and Earth, overlooking Ye Xuan in the Heavenly Palace below.

“Qiankun inverted, the Saints remain hidden, the Killing Star appears in the world, the Heavenly Dao collapses.

Let the Sect Hierarch witness just how far this child can go in this boundless Kalpa!”
