(5th Update) 383: Chapter 382: What Qualifications?

(5th Update) As the welcoming Immortal Official announced loudly, many renowned Daluo Golden Immortals entered the Lingxiao Palace, taking seats in the front row.

Chan Sect Golden Immortals, Western Bodhisattvas, Underworld Yama, and Heavenly Emperors appeared, making the group of Immortals bow in reverence.

This proved the prestigious status of Daluo Golden Immortals within the Three Realms.

Of course, although the Jade Emperor had sent out many invitations, not every Daluo Golden Immortal was willing to give him face.

The Chan Sect sent only Guang Chengzi, the Western Lingshan was represented by the Bodhisattva Guanyin, and the Underworld was represented by King Chujiang of Yama.

These represented the major powers giving face to the Jade Emperor.

Yet, in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, many did not give face to the Jade Emperor, and some Ancient Immortals would not put the Jade Emperor in their eyes.

Even Emperor Gouchen, upon receiving the Jade Emperor’s message, did not return to the Heavenly Court this time.

This showed that the position of the Jade Emperor as the ruler of the Three Realms was somewhat nominal.

Of course, although there were not many of Daluo Golden Immortal level, below them, the Immortals arrived in large numbers like crucian carp crossing the river.

Four Sea Dragon Kings, Earth Immortal Realm’s Independent Immortals, the group from Heavenly Court, and Western Arhats filled the Lingxiao Palace to capacity.

This was one of the few grand gatherings in the Heavenly Court apart from the Peach Banquet.

“Emperor Ziwei has arrived!”

With the announcement of the welcoming Immortal Official in the Lingxiao Palace, Emperor Ziwei entered side by side with Ye Xuan, which made the gathered immortals in the Lingxiao Palace pay their respects to Emperor Ziwei.

“Little brother, join me in the seat of honor,” Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.

Ye Xuan nodded in acknowledgment, and the two stepped up to where the Daluo Golden Immortals were seated.

With the arrival of Emperor Ziwei, several Daluo Golden Immortals stood up to greet him, clearly showing that Emperor Ziwei was a significant figure among the Daluo Golden Immortals.

“Is it you?”

When King Chujiang saw Ye Xuan, his face subtly changed.

Although he couldn’t see Ye Xuan’s face, he had long recognized Ye Xuan’s aura, especially since in this Lingxiao Palace, Ye Xuan was the only Luotian Golden Immortal.

“Little brother, you know King Chujiang?” Emperor Ziwei also expressed surprise.

“Sort of,” Ye Xuan ambiguously replied, while King Chujiang simply smiled faintly and did not say much more, returning to his seat.

Yet, King Chujiang sighed in his heart, not expecting that this Luotian Golden Immortal would have such a close relationship with Emperor Ziwei.

It was fortunate that he did not attack him earlier; the relationships within the Heavenly Court were indeed intricate.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, Emperor Zhenwu snorted coldly, casting a cold glance at Ye Xuan before picking up a cup of wine from the table and sipping it indifferently.

“Ziwei, you truly lack decorum.

This place is reserved by the Jade Emperor for the esteemed Daluo companions.

This person is merely a Luotian Golden Immortal, what qualifies him to sit on equal footing with us?” Emperor Zhenwu mocked.

“You…” Emperor Ziwei’s expression changed, about to retort angrily, but Ye Xuan stopped him before he could react.

Holding the Reverse Immortal Array Map, Ye Xuan walked leisurely to Emperor Zhenwu’s side and, under the incredulous gazes of everyone, sat down next to Emperor Zhenwu, not even bothering to glance at him.

However, his icy voice reached everyone’s ears clearly.

“Whether I am qualified or not, you will find out soon.

That someone as useless as you has become a Heavenly Emperor is truly laughable.”

Unwavering and fearless, this was Ye Xuan’s attitude, openly reproaching Emperor Zhenwu without any subtlety, creating an eerie silence in the entire Lingxiao Palace.

“Are you seeking death?”

Being scolded by Ye Xuan made Emperor Zhenwu clench his teeth.

If it weren’t for the fact that it was during the grand gathering of the Heavenly Court with all powers present, and the uncertainty of what could happen next, he would have certainly lashed out and killed Ye Xuan on the spot.

“Daoist Zhenwu, hold back your thunderous rage for now.

If there are any grievances, let’s resolve them after the Heavenly Court’s grand gathering is over.”

Barefoot Immortal, always the peacemaker, quickly spoke up to caution Emperor Zhenwu, but the look he gave Ye Xuan was one of blame—it was unmistakably unwise of Ye Xuan to provoke Emperor Zhenwu this much.

“Hmph, even after the grand gathering, with me, Emperor Ziwei here, I want to see who dares to harm my worthy brother.” Emperor Ziwei’s stern voice rang out as he sat down authoritatively, clearly warning Emperor Zhenwu.

This scene made King Chujiang watch in surprise.

He had not expected Emperor Ziwei to value Ye Xuan so highly, even to the extent of potentially starting a war with Emperor Zhenwu.

This made him ponder who Ye Xuan really was to receive such significant protection.

Guang Chengzi, one of the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, whose Spiritual Treasure Flipping Sky Seal possessed unimaginable power and was renowned among the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, regarded Ye Xuan with a curious look.

“Hey, this Daoist is quite interesting, your temperament is very much like my Monkey Brother.

Old Pig, I toast you.” Marshal Tian Peng, although a Luotian Mystic Immortal, sat among the Daluo Golden Immortals and was now raising his cup in a toast to Ye Xuan.

Unfortunately, facing Marshal Tian Peng’s toast, Ye Xuan treated him as if he were thin air, not responding at all, which made Marshal Tian Peng’s face change slightly, awkwardly retracting his cup.

Throughout the event, Ye Xuan did not consider Marshal Tian Peng worthy of his attention, for he simply did not respect him enough to share a drink.

Not to mention that Marshal Tian Peng once harassed Chang’e and was punished by the Jade Emperor into the Beast Path of reincarnation for thousands of lives.

Even after becoming a Buddha, his cultivation was only that of a Luotian Mystic Immortal.

Without the face of the Fighting Saint Buddha, how could he possibly be worthy of his seat here?

Regarding the Jade Emperor’s decision to cast Marshal Tian Peng into the Beast Path of reincarnation for a thousand lives, Ye Xuan actually quite agreed.

If he had been in the Jade Emperor’s position, he might have been even harsher.

Because the Guanghan Fairy is his forbidden, how could he tolerate others harassing her?

Merely casting him into the Beast Path of reincarnation for a thousand lives seemed too lenient in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

As for Ye Xuan daring to sit with Daluo Golden Immortals and even close to Emperor Zhenwu, that was because he possessed the strength to do so, and his own title was none other than Emperor Dongji.

As for this so-called Marshal Tian Peng, Ye Xuan felt nothing but disdain.

If the Fighting Saint Buddha were here, perhaps he would have reciprocated the gesture of toasting.

But how could a worthless person like Marshal Tian Peng deserve his reciprocation?

“Hmph, what’s there to be so proud of?

If it weren’t for your resemblance in character to my Monkey Brother, Old Pig might not even bother with you,” Marshal Tian Peng muttered, his face turning red.

“His Majesty the Jade Emperor has arrived!”

Suddenly, amid the sound of Nine Heavens Immortal Music, flowers rained from the sky and fairies danced in the void.

The Jade Emperor, wearing his Nine Dragons Emperor Robe, emerged from Dou Niu Palace and ascended to his throne amid a surge of Immortal Light.

“Greetings to the Jade Emperor Hao Tian God.”

The group of immortals bowed deeply, their voices as loud as a mountain shout and ocean roar, but Ye Xuan and others did not stand up, clearly being Daluo Golden Immortals they were equals to the Jade Emperor and naturally did not perform the greeting, merely nodding their heads in acknowledgment.

“My lords, please dispense with the formalities.”

The Jade Emperor, with a smile containing a hint of rosy flush, was clearly in high spirits, as today he would fulfill his lifelong dream of marrying the Guanghan Fairy.

His mood was evidently excellent, and he was not too concerned about the usual formalities.
