Chapter 284 - 284 283 The Heart of Usurpation

284: Chapter 283: The Heart of Usurpation 284: Chapter 283: The Heart of Usurpation Zhao Gongming did not dare to be negligent and bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

Although both of them were Taiyi Golden Immortals, Zhao Gongming knew that if the Emperor Dongji before him wanted to kill him, he would definitely be no match for him, especially since the other had been a terrifying existence capable of fighting Yang Jian to a standstill even when he was but a Taiyin Mystic Immortal.

Moreover, the revival of the Jie Sect depended entirely on placing their hopes on Ye Xuan’s shoulders, which made him dare not offend Ye Xuan.

“Emperor, the battle between the two sides has already commenced, but in the end, it was nothing more than a pyrrhic outcome.

May I ask what our next move should be?” Zhao Gongming asked earnestly.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unflustered as he slowly shook his head, “All we need to do is watch as things unfold.

The one who should truly be worried now is that old Jade Emperor.

Whether it is the wrath of the Chan Sect or the hostility from Huaguo Mountain, if he fails to resolve these issues well, his emperorship will be in imminent danger.”

“Emperor, although we have promised you that we would help you seize the emperorship from the Jade Emperor, you must know, his cultivation is by no means simple, I’m afraid that…” Zhao Gongming trailed off, hesitant to continue.

“You’re trying to say that at worst, this old Jade Emperor’s cultivation is that of a Daluo Golden Immortal, and I am merely a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Even though I have stirred up a war between the Heavenly Court and Huaguo Mountain, trying to shake his emperorship is harder than reaching the skies?” Ye Xuan said calmly.

“I wouldn’t dare!” Zhao Gongming chuckled awkwardly, but his expression clearly indicated that he did believe it to be so.

“You are all wrong.”

A cold smile traced Ye Xuan’s lips, and the look in his eyes aiming at Zhao Gongming carried an eerie gleam.

“The most terrifying thing about this old Jade Emperor is not his cultivation, but his shrewdness and schemes.”

“As the ruler of the Three Realms, his cultivation is at least that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

And yet, this is the man who, for tens of thousands of years, has kept a low profile, shown tolerance to the group of Immortals, indulged the Demon Kings of the Lower Realm, and faced the mockery of all beings in the Three Realms with composure.”

At this point, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he continued, “Do you remember?

That monkey, being merely a lowly Taiyi Realm being, smashed the Palace of the Polestar to pieces right before him, yet he was so frightened that he crawled under the desk to beg for help from Duobao Tathagata in the Western direction.

Just this kind of restraint is incomparable to ordinary people.”

“The Supreme of the Three Realms, a Daluo Golden Immortal, could have killed that monkey within the flick of a finger, yet he could endure to such an extent.

This is what makes him the most formidable foe.”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Zhao Gongming’s face turned pale as he realized the horror of the Jade Emperor.

“In the Three Realms, the Daluo Golden Immortals are not few, but certainly not many either.

Just the Chan and Jie Sects have many adherents.

But why is it that the Jade Emperor alone ascended to the position of the lord of the Three Realms?”

“Or do you think The Three Pure Ones do not want their disciples to occupy the position of the lord of the Three Realms?”

Ye Xuan spoke frankly, as he saw very clearly that even though the Jade Emperor seemed weak and incapable, he was not to be underestimated; otherwise, how could he have managed the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years?

“This battle between the Heavenly Court and Huaguo Mountain, if I’m not mistaken, will eventually end with both sides reaching a settlement, and the Jade Emperor himself will personally apologize to the Chan Sect’s group of Immortals.

The so-called face doesn’t matter at all to the Jade Emperor.”

“As the master of the Three Realms, if he personally apologizes to the Chan Sect, they must give him face,” Ye Xuan stated with conviction.

“Then…

does that mean our plan has fallen through?” Zhao Gongming’s complexion changed slightly, voicing his frustration.

At this moment, Ye Xuan smiled mysteriously, his voice deep and low, “Although the Jade Emperor is profoundly cunning, he is not without weaknesses, and it is these weaknesses that will eventually leave him with no place for his soul to rest.”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Zhao Gongming was greatly encouraged.

He was about to ask Ye Xuan about the Jade Emperor’s weaknesses, but then swallowed his words, knowing what he should and should not inquire about.

“Go on, and do what I have instructed you.” Ye Xuan ordered him away.

“Emperor, this lesser immortal takes his leave.”

Zhao Gongming bowed deeply and retreated backward, then mounted a lucky cloud and left the Weiyang Palace.

It was also at this time that Ye Xuan slowly stood up, and when his eyes opened and closed, a cold glint flickered across them.

“The Jade Emperor’s weakness is that Guanghan Fairy.”

With a trace of a cold smile on his lips, Ye Xuan took a step out.

A dark cloud immediately rose beneath his feet and rushed toward the outside of the Weiyang Palace, heading straight for the Guanghan Immortal Palace on the Taiyin Star.

Auspicious vapors in thousands of strands, Immortal Light billowing.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Court, one could say it was an exceptionally gorgeous and sacred land for Immortals.

Ye Xuan made his way there, without any concealment, brazenly heading towards the Guanghan Immortal Palace.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, the Immortals naturally had to bow deeply, addressing him as Emperor Dongji.

There were even Fairies who smiled gently within the Immortal Clouds, inclining their bodies to pay their respects to Ye Xuan.

Of course, Ye Xuan’s journey towards the Taiyin Star inevitably amazed the Group of Immortals, and some Immortal Officials quietly reported this matter to the Jade Emperor.

…

Inside the Dou Niu Palace.

The Jade Emperor looked livid, pacing back and forth in the palace.

He was already aware of the matters of the Lower Realm, where a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were locked in a fierce battle with the million Demon troops of Huaguo Mountain.

This incident had already caused him immense frustration.

But as the Immortal Official entered the Dou Niu Palace and informed him of Ye Xuan’s visit to the Guanghan Immortal Palace, the already agitated Jade Emperor finally exploded with the anger he had long suppressed.

Bang!

Daluo Immortal Light scattered forth, and the Immortal Official before him was blown to pieces, his Divine Soul also obliterated and scattered to the winds.

“Damn it, damn it all!”

“Ye Xuan, you little bastard, I have tolerated you time and again, yet you are brazen beyond measure, even daring to woo Chang’e.

Are you openly defying me?”

The Jade Emperor was beside himself with rage, the Daluo Golden Light around him extremely chaotic.

Had he not forcibly controlled the murderous intent in his heart, he would have truly wanted to strike out with his palm and blast Ye Xuan to smithereens.

Huff!

A cloud of turbid breath like a rushing stream erupted from the Jade Emperor’s mouth as he fought to calm himself.

The situation at Huaguo Mountain was the top priority, he must not allow this Ye Xuan to throw him off balance.

Hum!

The Heavenly Mirror appeared suddenly, directly reflecting the scene at the Guanghan Palace.

The Jade Emperor couldn’t help but want to see what exactly Ye Xuan was doing at the Guanghan Palace.

…

Taiyin Star, Guanghan Palace.

Moonlight like water, cassia trees reaching to the heavens, the Guanghan Palace made of white jade was still as serene as ever, save for the subtly swaying branches of the cassia trees, no sound emerged from the entire palace.

Hum!

A cloud of auspiciousness dissipated beneath Ye Xuan’s feet, allowing him to appear before the Guanghan Palace.

“I am Ye Xuan, and I would request an audience with the Guanghan Fairy.”

Ye Xuan’s calm voice echoed through the void, yet after dozens of breaths passed, there was no response whatsoever.

“As the old saying goes, a distant visitor should be welcomed.

It would be a breach of etiquette for the Fairy to shut her doors to a guest, wouldn’t it?” Ye Xuan coldly scoffed, unreasonably pushing open the palace doors, intent on barging straight into the Guanghan Palace.

“Ye Xuan, my mistress does not wish to see you, please leave.”

Before Ye Xuan could step into the Guanghan Palace, Yu Niang appeared in front of the gate, her eyes clearly showing a trace of fear when she looked at him.

“Yu Niang, we have known each other for a long time after all.

You should know what kind of person I am.”
