Ye Xuan halted in his steps, turned to smile at Guanghan Fairy with a cryptic smile, then mounted the auspicious clouds and left Guanghan Palace without lingering a moment longer.

…

Dou Niu Palace.

Jade Emperor’s face was gloomy as he stared intently at the Heavenly Mirror.

When he saw Ye Xuan leaving Guanghan Immortal Palace, his grim expression slightly eased.

However, the Jade Emperor was immensely puzzled.

Why had Ye Xuan visited Guanghan Palace, and why had there been a thunderous noise just now from there?

Even as Ye Xuan disappeared from the Heavenly Mirror, the Jade Emperor couldn’t think of an answer.

Just when he was about to put away the Heavenly Mirror, a figure he dreamt about quietly appeared in it, making him look towards the mirror with surprise.

Guanghan Fairy’s hair was disheveled, her stunningly beautiful face flushed with a hint of redness.

She had appeared outside Guanghan Palace, gazing after Ye Xuan’s departing figure, her eyes showing a confounded expression like never before.

Seeing this scene, Jade Emperor completely froze on the spot, an overwhelmingly violent aura swirling around him, causing the entire Dou Niu Palace to tremble slightly.

What had he seen?

Guanghan Fairy, the premier fairy of the Three Realms, a Primordial Goddess, was an unattainable deity, and moreover, the object of his affection.

But now, his goddess, her complexion rosy and flawless, even her hair somewhat disordered, that bewitched look in her eyes, it simply shocked the Jade Emperor beyond imagination.

After an endless amount of time, the Jade Emperor had never seen Guanghan Fairy in such a state.

His thoughts were a complete mess, uncertain of what might have transpired between Ye Xuan and Guanghan Fairy.

A terrifying suspicion emerged in the mind of the Jade Emperor, but he quickly dismissed it.

“Impossible…

absolutely impossible…

How could Chang’e take a fancy to him?”

Jade Emperor whispered harshly, peering closely at Guanghan Fairy’s forehead, and when he confirmed that Guanghan Fairy was still virginal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, beads of cold sweat were already forming on his forehead.

Though the thing Jade Emperor feared most had not happened, he was still plagued with the question of why Guanghan Fairy looked so disheveled, as if she had just experienced a stormy encounter.

Unfortunately, no matter what the Jade Emperor speculated, he would never know what really happened between Ye Xuan and Guanghan Fairy.

If the Jade Emperor had seen earlier Ye Xuan pinning Guanghan Fairy beneath him, desecrating his beloved goddess, he would likely have gone completely mad, determined to personally travel to Taiyin Star to tear Ye Xuan to pieces.

Watching the Jade Emperor’s face shifting between calmness and fury, Gold Star Taibai frowned slightly, also feeling helpless about the Jade Emperor’s obsession with Guanghan Fairy.

If anyone knew the Jade Emperor best, apart from the Queen Mother, it was him, Gold Star Taibai.

He always believed that the Jade Emperor, whether in cultivation or tactics, was a tyrant among the Three Realms, surely capable of great deeds.

Yet what troubled Gold Star Taibai the most was that whenever it involved Chang’e Fairy, the Jade Emperor turned into a completely different person, all his usual wisdom vanishing.

“Your Majesty, the death of Changsheng Immortal Venerable has already enraged the Chan Sect and the Group of Immortals, and with Huaguo Mountain’s looming threat right before us, as the ruler of the Three Realms, you should first address this issue to stabilize the Heavenly Court,” Gold Star Taibai advised.

Hearing the words of Gold Star Taibai, the Jade Emperor put away the Heavenly Mirror and also knew that what Gold Star Taibai spoke of were matters of utmost importance.

“Gold Star, I already have an idea, rest assured,” the Jade Emperor said with a sinister smile, a trace of venomous intent flickering in his eyes.

According to the Jade Emperor’s plan, he had to give the Chan Sect an explanation to quench the Immortals’ rage; and as for Huaguo Mountain, he could not afford to provoke them either.

The ultimate result was that he would apologize to the Chan Sect and find a scapegoat to settle the matter.

However, hatred towards Ye Xuan made him change his own plans, even considering escalating the situation—a nefarious scheme targeting Ye Xuan was also forming in the Jade Emperor’s heart.

…

The dispute between the Heavenly Court and Huaguo Mountain caught the attention of the Three Realms.

This war raged on for half a year, resulting in extreme casualties.

Countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals fell, two of the Jiu Yao Star Lords perished, seven of the Twenty-Eight Constellations died tragically, and even the Four Great Heavenly Kings were severely injured.

On the side of Huaguo Mountain, the situation was equally dire.

Countless Demon Soldiers and Generals died tragically, with no less than seven Demon Kings perishing.

Both sides had indeed unleashed their true fire, adopting a do-or-die stance.

At first, Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars, clashed with the Purple Dragon King of Huaguo Mountain, causing heaven and earth to shatter.

For a time, they could not determine a victor, both resorting to deadly immortal techniques until both ended up grievously injured.

It wasn’t until the Heavenly Peng King of Huaguo Mountain intervened that the tide turned.

The Heavenly Peng’s true form spanned millions of miles across heaven and earth, driving the people of the Heavenly Court into a frenzied retreat.

If not for the arrival of the Group of Immortals from the Chan Sect, perhaps all the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would have perished in the Lower Realm.

The Heavenly Peng King, the second Demon King of Huaguo Mountain, was a mid-stage Luotian Mystic Immortal, an extremely formidable being.

Yet, facing the Group of Immortals from the Chan Sect, he did not dare to be careless, confronting them between Heaven and Earth.

If it were only the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Peng King would fear nothing; but dealing with the Chan Sect Immortals, he knew the matter was extremely thorny and dared not escalate the situation too excessively.

On the side of the Heavenly Court, there was also great apprehension.

Nezha possessed the strongest combat power, but he was severely wounded in the fight with the Purple Dragon King, leaving the Heavenly Court without anyone else of high-end combat ability.

The Group of Immortals from the Chan Sect also gradually calmed down.

Most of them were Taiyi Golden Immortals, with the highest rank being Luotian Mystic Immortal Realm.

The critical issue was that the first Demon King of Huaguo Mountain had not yet made a move.

It was known that this first Demon King was of the Luotian Golden Immortal Realm, and unless Yang Jian himself came, no one else could match this first Demon King.

But what secretly infuriated the Group of Immortals from the Chan Sect was that Yang Jian was on Jade Spring Mountain in the Golden Canopy Cave, regenerating his physical body, and thus unable to join the battle.

And the prime culprit behind this was Ye Xuan, making the Chan Sect Immortals secretly resent him in their hearts.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Heavenly Court sounded the retreat, raising the sky-covering golden clouds to return to the Thirty-Three Heavens, while the Demon Kings of Huaguo Mountain laughed uproariously, leading the millions of Demon Soldiers and Generals back to Huaguo Mountain.

This battle ended without resolution, but both sides knew that it was no longer just about the Changsheng Immortal Venerable.

They had both unleashed their true fire and had already formed deep hatred, involving issues of face for both sides.

…

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor sat high on his throne, with the Group of Immortals standing by his side.

The atmosphere in the whole Lingxiao Palace was extremely oppressive.

“Your Majesty, Huaguo Mountain has always defied the Heavenly Court’s authority, killing Changsheng Immortal Venerable first, then assembling millions of Demon Soldiers to battle our Heavenly Court, completely disregarding the Heavenly Court and Your Majesty.

If we do not eradicate them, I fear all beings of the Three Realms will laugh at our Heavenly Court’s impotence,” Zhang Tian Shi, with his beard and hair all bristling, said.
