Chapter 376 - 376 375 Gathering at South Heavenly Gate

376: Chapter 375: Gathering at South Heavenly Gate 376: Chapter 375: Gathering at South Heavenly Gate Jade Emperor Hao Tian God, supreme ruler of the Three Realms, in charge of all matters in the Three Realms, in status, could be said to sit on equal terms with The Three Pure Ones.

From this, one could see how revered the identity of the Jade Emperor was.

Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, these are the Three Realms, consisting of the Heavenly Court, the Earth Immortal Realm, and the Underworld, which are the origins of the Three Realms.

In fact, the so-called Heaven, Earth, and Humanity Three Realms is a general term because the Heavenly Court and the Underworld are merely institutions.

The real main world is the Earth Immortal Realm, which also contains too many Heavenly beings and great demons.

The Earth Immortal Realm is too vast and boundless, such that even the lifetime of an Immortal could not traverse every corner of the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Jade Emperor nominally governed the Three Realms and was also known as the Supreme of the Three Realms; however, there were far too few who could be commanded by him, one might say very few indeed.

Within the Earth Immortal Realm, there are four great continents and four oceans, and even more ancient primordial mountains; among them, the number of powerful Immortals and great demons is countless, who naturally would not care about the so-called Jade Emperor.

Yet the Supreme of the Three Realms is still the Supreme of the Three Realms, and even though it was merely a nominal title, it was not simple.

When the Jade Emperor widely spread invitations, all related to the Heavenly Court, including Immortals, Buddhas, naturally adhered to give face to the Jade Emperor.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings, Western Lingshan, the Chan Sect, groups of Immortals from the Heavenly Court, and of course, Underworld Yama; everyone ranked among the Immortal Class would naturally not defy the face of the Jade Emperor and invariably rushed toward the Heavenly Court.

From minor Profound Immortals to Daluo Golden Immortals, there were diverse ranks which made the Heavenly Court exceptionally lively.

How long had it been?

Perhaps a hundred thousand years?

Besides the Peach Banquet, the Heavenly Court could be said to have seldom been this lively.

Yet this time, the Jade Emperor’s act of marrying the Guanghan Fairy as his wife was a rather controversial matter because all beings of the Three Realms knew that the identity of the Guanghan Fairy was very sensitive.

Firstly, the Guanghan Fairy was an Ancient Goddess with a substantialtie to the Witch Clan.

It was said in legends that the Witch Clan was belligerent, and the Ancient Great Witch Yi once shot down nine great ancient suns in a single day for Guanghan Fairy, also becoming a celebrated tale in the Three Realms.

Secondly, having gone through the Primordial Times, countless Immortals and Buddhas were admirers of the Guanghan Fairy, among them some Ancient Great Divine Powers; just that these Ancient Great Divine Powers with sensitive identities did not show it as obviously as Yang Jian.

Now, the Jade Emperor, facing the great risk of the world, wanted to marry the Guanghan Fairy as his wife.

If this elicited some terrifying existences, even though the Jade Emperor was the master of the Three Realms, he would likely have trouble dealing with it.

Whether it was out of a mentality to watch the excitement or to give face to the Jade Emperor, Gods and Buddhas all gathered in the Heavenly Court, waiting for the grand feast to commence.

South Heavenly Gate!

With auspiciousness stretching thousands of miles and brilliant golden light shining, countless Immortals from all directions came, stationed before the South Heavenly Gate.

The Four Great Heavenly Kings routinely checked the identity of the group of Immortals and then let each pass.

“True Martial Great Emperor Peng has arrived.”

Suddenly, golden lotuses descended from the sky and sweet springs gushed from the earth; the void bloomed with ripples, giving rise to clusters of golden lotuses.

One could see far in the distance, among heaven and earth, four dragons were pulling a golden jade chariot across the long sky.

Golden Boys and Jade Girls flanked the jade chariot, which radiated Daluo Immortal Light, causing the complexions of the Immortals entering the Heavenly Court to change slightly, who then respectfully stood still and bowed toward the golden jade chariot.

“We have seen True Martial Great Emperor Peng.”

The group of Immortals bowed deeply, and the Four Great Heavenly Kings, not daring to be negligent, promptly cleared the way, also bowing deeply, clearly the renown of True Martial Great Emperor Peng caused immense reverence among the group of Immortals.

Thunderous rumblings!

The four dragons pulled the golden jade chariot to the front of the South Heavenly Gate, and as a golden figure emerged from the chariot, a boundless surge of Daluo Immortal might permeated the air, causing the group of Immortals to lower their gazes, not daring to look too much.

“Little Immortal welcomes the Emperor back to the Heavenly Court.”

The Four Great Heavenly Kings bowed deeply, keeping their demeanor incredibly humble in front of the impressive True Warrior Demon-Subduing Emperor.

The True Warrior Demon-Subduing Emperor, extraordinary and martial, appeared youthful on the outside, but when his eyes opened and closed, sparks of golden light overflowed, revealing the unquestionable authority of a Superior, making it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze directly.

“Have the other two Emperors returned to the Heavenly Court yet?” the True Warrior Demon-Subduing Emperor asked with authority.

“In response to the Emperor, the other two Emperors have not yet been seen, but the Jade Emperor has already sent messengers to the Ziwei and Gouchen Emperors.

It is likely that within a few days, the three great Emperors of our Heavenly Court will gather together,” replied the King of Holding Country respectfully.

“Hmph!”

The True Warrior Demon-Subduing Emperor frowned slightly and then coldly said, “It seems the last time the three of us Emperors were reunited in the Heavenly Court was at the Peach Banquet, wasn’t it?”

“I wonder how far these two fellows’ Cultivation has progressed after nearly a hundred thousand years.”

The words of the True Warrior Demon-Subduing Emperor rendered the Four Great Heavenly Kings silent, naturally not daring to continue that line of discussion.

All of them knew that at the Peach Banquet years ago, the three Emperors almost came to blows over a dispute about their positions; had the Jade Emperor not intervened, that Peach Banquet could have turned into a major disaster.

“South Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva has arrived.”

“Barefoot Immortal has arrived.”

“Envoy of the Western Lingshan Sanctuary has arrived.”

In just a moment, lights of Immortals and Buddhas streaked across the void from all directions, the overwhelming Daluo Immortal Light covering the skies, drawing the attention of the gathered Immortals at the South Heavenly Gate.

“We pay our respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva.”

“Greetings to the Barefoot Immortal.”

“We pay our respects to the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy!”

As the Immortal Light faded, three figures appeared at the South Heavenly Gate.

The Barefoot Immortal, his face glowing with a red radiance and eyes benevolent, true to his name, had exceptionally noticeable large feet, and was laughing heartily while waving a fan in his hand at the gathered Immortals, saying, “Fellow Daoists, please dispense with the formalities.”

Despite his kind and approachable demeanor, the Barefoot Immortal was a true Daluo Golden Immortal.

Although he was just at the First Layer of Daluo among the Golden Immortals and not very famous, he was known for being the most unpretentious.

“Amitabha!”

South Sea Guanyin, holding the Jade Purifying Bottle, smiled and nodded to the gathered Immortals as a way of greeting these lesser Immortals.

Yet everyone hurried to return the gesture, solely because the roots of this South Sea Guanyin were terrifyingly profound.

In that distant past, she wasn’t called by this name but was known as Ci Hang Daoist, the ninth great disciple under Yuanshi Tianzun, and his only female disciple, also listed as one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals.

Later, during the great divine battles, Ci Hang Daoist joined the Western Lingshan due to certain reasons and was renamed South Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Although she joined the Western Lingshan, South Sea Guanyin maintained a deep connection with the Chan Sect and was still one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, as well as the junior sister of Yu Ding.

In terms of Cultivation, however, she was far superior to Yu Ding.

As for this last figure, the Sanctified Altar Envoy, his background was quite complex.

He was originally the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy of the Heavenly Court but was demoted to the Beast Path of reincarnation for thousands of lifetimes by the Jade Emperor for harassing Chang’e during the Turquoise Pool Banquet.
