Chapter 496 - 496 505 Winning People's Hearts

496: Chapter 505 Winning People’s Hearts 496: Chapter 505 Winning People’s Hearts No one had expected Duobao Tathagata to bow his head to Ye Xuan, and even more so, for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Lingshan to prostrate themselves before him.

This only intensified the fear that various Daoist lineages felt towards Ye Xuan.

Heaven and earth had truly changed!

When Ye Xuan ascended to the Heavenly Emperor’s throne, and especially on this day, as he oppressed all directions, it seemed as though everyone could see the forthcoming changes in the Three Realms.

This Ye Tian, the Heavenly Emperor, would surely stir up chaos in all directions, bringing unimaginable changes to the Three Realms.

The Western Lingshan showed its submission on the surface, and those of the Chan Sect lineage were panic-stricken.

When Ye Xuan’s chilling gaze fell upon the Group of Immortals of the Chan Sect, it startled them to such an extent that they eventually gritted their teeth and prostrated before Ye Xuan.

At this moment, all Daoist lineages had submitted at Ye Xuan’s feet.

Regardless of whether they were convinced in their hearts, outwardly they had already softened.

This was the posture presented by the various Daoist lineages.

“Everyone, please rise.”

Ye Xuan exuded the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, his voice resounding throughout the clouds.

“Ye Tian, the Heavenly Emperor, this one takes his leave.”

Duobao Tathagata gave Ye Xuan a deep look, with the Ninefold Golden Lotus beneath him shining brightly, directly tearing through the fabric of space-time and disappearing from sight, prompting the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the West to follow suit and depart atop clouds.

“Ye Tian, the Heavenly Emperor, the affairs of the Underworld are pressing.

We shall take our leave first.” The Ten Palaces Yama bowed and, raising a dark cloud, departed from the Heavenly Court at that moment.

Throughout the entire process, the Ten Palaces Yama showed no sign of dissatisfaction, and they had bowed and prostrated before Ye Xuan.

Even upon their departure, they did not utter any words of discontent.

But Ye Xuan knew that when comparing the Western Lingshan with the Underworld, the Underworld should, in reality, be the most terrifying.

Since the opening of Heaven and Earth, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had existed within the Underworld, governing the reincarnation of all living beings and forging the Eighteen Layers of Hell, where countless terrifying beings resided.

Yet with the passing of endless time, the Underworld had rarely shown itself, always acting in a low-profile manner.

The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man; the Heavenly Court, the Earth Immortals, the Underworld.

The Underworld fashioned its own realm; the Five Ghost Emperors ruled over the Underworld, and Ksitigarbha presided in the depths of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

On the Yellow Springs Road, there also existed Meng Po, whose origins were unknown to anyone, and the Minghe Ancestor’s Netherworld Blood Sea was situated right in the middle of the Underworld.

From this, it was clear that the Underworld was not as simple as one imagined, but rather, it held immense terror.

To regard it as a weak existence would be a colossal joke.

With the departure of the Western Lingshan and the Underworld, the Group of Immortals from the Chan Sect took their leave one after another.

Ye Xuan did not make it difficult for them, for he had already done what needed to be done, and had thoroughly established his authority as the Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, he no longer regarded the so-called Group of Immortals of the Chan Sect with importance, for the real figures of the Chan Sect had not shown up, and Ye Xuan had no intention of targeting these weaker Immortals.

“Ha ha!”

Suddenly, a majestic purple aura surged, stardust sprinkled down, and a burst of laughter came from afar.

Emperor Ziwei approached the South Heavenly Gate atop clouds, followed by six Daluo Golden Immortals, all rushing towards the Observation Platform.

“Greetings, Ye Tian, the Heavenly Emperor.”

In an instant, Emperor Ziwei and the six Daluo Golden Immortals appeared before Ye Xuan.

Following Emperor Ziwei’s lead in bowing, the six Daluo also paid their respects to Ye Xuan.

“Brother, there is no need for such formality.”

Ye Xuan naturally would not display the so-called majesty of the Heavenly Emperor towards Emperor Ziwei, but rather warmly helped him up and then looked at the six Daluo Golden Immortals behind Emperor Ziwei.

“Your Majesty, these six individuals are all my good friends, especially coming to join the Heavenly Court today.

I wonder what Your Majesty’s thoughts are on this?” Emperor Ziwei smiled and said.

As Emperor Ziwei finished speaking, the six Daluo Golden Immortals paid their respects to Ye Xuan one after another, effectively introducing themselves.

Lingjiu Daoist, Cangyu Daoist, Wanfa Fairy, Sanbao Hermit, Jiuxuan Maiden, and Liuchi Hermit.

Four men and two women, all Daluo, with even the least skilled among them being of the Daluo First Layer Heaven.

These six were all orthodox Taoists, but not from any major Daoist sects.

They all had once received favors from Immortal Zhenyuan and were close friends with Emperor Ziwei.

The addition of the six Daluo to the Heavenly Court—along with the return of Emperor Ziwei—immediately uplifted Ye Xuan’s spirits, for in addition to Emperor Ziwei, the Lower Realm’s two great Divine Skill-wielding evil demons, and the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Jie Sect brought by Gold Star Taibai had also joined, this directly made the Heavenly Court’s power surge tremendously, far from the frailty it once knew.

“Your Majesty, here is the Four Directions Dragon Seal and the Investiture of the Gods.

Please take good care of them.”

Gold Star Taibai held the Four Directions Dragon Seal and the Investiture of the Gods, presenting them to Ye Xuan with a deep bow.

Clearly, once Ye Xuan took hold of these two items, he would truly be the master of the Heavenly Court’s Thirty-Three Heavens.

With the major Daoist sects gone, only Ye Xuan’s own people remained, so naturally, he had no reservations and casually took the two items into his hands.

However, what Ye Xuan did next left everyone utterly dumbfounded and as if they were caught in a dream.

Bang!

A colossal sound rang out, and the Four Directions Dragon Seal in Ye Xuan’s hand shattered into pieces, directly crushed by Ye Xuan, and the so-called Heavenly Dao Dragon Qi dissipated into the void.

“Your Majesty, you…

You…?” Gold Star Taibai exclaimed in shock, hardly believing what he was witnessing.

He couldn’t understand why Ye Xuan would destroy the Four Directions Dragon Seal—didn’t he know that the Four Directions Dragon Seal was the symbol of the Heavenly Emperor?

It was well-known that the Jade Emperor was almost undying and invincible because he held the Four Directions Dragon Seal in hand, with the Heavenly Dao Dragon Qi connected to the fortunes of the Heavenly Court.

If Ye Xuan had merged with the Heavenly Dao Dragon Qi and been blessed by the will of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t he become even more powerful?

So why would he destroy the Four Directions Dragon Seal?

“Your Majesty, what are you doing…?” Shen Gongbao ventured to ask, evidently sharing the same confusion as the rest.

“Do you believe that if I were to merge with the Four Directions Dragon Seal, I could, like that Jade Emperor, achieve an immortal body?” Ye Xuan asked, observing the puzzled expressions on everyone’s faces.

He continued with a faint smile, “The so-called Four Directions Dragon Seal may seem to be the symbol of the Heavenly Emperor, but in fact, it is a great shackle.

Over the endless passage of time, because he held the Four Directions Dragon Seal, the Jade Emperor always believed he was an undying being, convinced that no one could kill him.

His resolve has long been worn away, with no sense of danger, which is why he remained at the second watershed of Daluo, without any progress.”

Ye Xuan spoke plainly, directly pointing out the Jade Emperor’s biggest flaw and enlightening everyone.

“Therefore, this Four Directions Dragon Seal is of no use to me.

The so-called immortality is but a joke.

Given that, there is no need to keep the Four Directions Dragon Seal.”

Ye Xuan casually dispersed the Heavenly Dao Dragon Qi from his hand, never intending to absorb this so-called Heavenly Dao Dragon Qi, for he always believed that the strong are strong in their own right, and the notion of immortality was nothing but a joke.

If the Jade Emperor truly were an undying being, how then could he have died by my Heavenly Punishment Halberd?
