Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

Chapter 31 Since you wish to go to Taiyin Star, I naturally grant your request.

Beyond the heavens, sorrow lingers.

The Jade Emperor rode in a dragon chariot, his appearance and demeanor domineering and majestic.

However, his frequent glances towards Lihentian with his divine sense betrayed his inner thoughts; he was currently preoccupied with many things.

Based on the previous events, he could almost certainly conclude that Shi Yuan, who called himself the Master of Yuanquan Mountain, must be a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Moreover, it is very likely the reason for the unusual behavior of the Sage of Biyou Palace a few days ago.

But ironically, this disciple of the Jie Sect had recently entered the Tushita Palace!

The Jade Emperor naturally understood the significance of this.

"Several hundred years ago, the Sage Taiqing moved his temple out of Kunlun Mountain. It is said throughout the Three Realms that this was because he had a grudge against the Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

"If the Jie Sect were to reconnect with the Supreme Sage Taiqing again, then..."

The Jade Emperor pondered in his heart, and his gaze toward Lihentian grew increasingly urgent.

He was very curious to know what the Taoist who called himself Shiyuan was going to say to the Sage Taiqing in the Tushita Palace.

This is absolutely intelligence capable of changing the entire Three Realms' overall situation and future trajectory.

It is even more important than supernatural powers and magical artifacts.

If one knows in advance, one can gain the upper hand.

However, he dared not enter the Heaven of Separation without careful consideration.

Even if he were the Jade Emperor, it wouldn't matter—the Tushita Palace in the Heavenly Court is a forbidden zone for immortals and gods.

No one may enter except those permitted by Laozi.

"The negotiations have been going on for so long..."

Although Shi Yuan had not been in the Tushita Palace for long, the Jade Emperor felt that the time had been extremely long.

But at that very moment, "Buzz!"

As points of light flickered within the Heaven of Separation and Hatred, people slowly stepped out from within it.

coming!

The Jade Emperor locked his divine senses tightly, sensing everything carefully.

Then, he walked out with the two Daoist boys, Yuan and Jin.

Jinling Daotong then respectfully said, "Senior brother, we'll see you off here."

At this moment, the Silver Spirit Daoist took out a pill gourd from his bosom.

"Senior brother, this is a precious elixir that the master just refined yesterday. I should give you a gourd of it."

Shi Yuan naturally thanked him and then accepted the gourd of elixir.

This scene, witnessed by the Jade Emperor, naturally solidified his suspicions.

It should be noted that Laozi's two attendants, the Golden Boy and the Silver Boy, are extremely arrogant in the Heavenly Court.

It was the greatest honor for others to enter the Tushita Palace to meet Laozi, and for these two boys to lead the way.

Where have you ever seen two people escorting a guest all the way out of the Heaven of Parting Sorrows?

Not to mention, Laozi even offered a gourd of elixir as a gift.

"From this perspective, it seems that the Sage Taiqing never cooperated with the Jie Sect."

"But at least most of the grudges from the Investiture of the Gods have been resolved."

The Jade Emperor pondered this in his heart.

To be fair, this kind of news is naturally of great importance.

But the Jade Emperor had no other thoughts whatsoever.

He knew his place—he was not qualified to interfere in the schemes of a sage.

This is the truth he knows best, having witnessed countless eons since ancient times.

However, although he could not interfere with the sage's plans, it did not prevent him from placing bets on them.

Upon thinking of this, the Jade Emperor rode his dragon chariot to greet Shi Yuan.

"Is the visitor Senior Brother Shi Yuanshi?"

He spoke with a smile.

As expected, they arrived.

Upon seeing the Jade Emperor, Shi Yuan secretly thought to himself, "As expected."

Just now, the silver-horned boy suddenly gave him a gourd of pills, so he guessed that it was probably because the Lord of Heaven had arrived at O.

Therefore, he was naturally very satisfied at this moment.

He came to the Heavenly Court for two reasons.

The main purpose, of course, is the Supreme Sage.

The secondary objective was this Jade Emperor.

In retrospect, his judgments were mostly accurate.

The senior master had already agreed to cooperate, and the Jade Emperor himself had taken the initiative to come to them.

This is enough to show that he must have already harbored dissatisfaction with the Chan Sect.

"By acting perversely and creating enemies everywhere, it is no wonder that even without me, the Chan Sect would be replaced by Buddhism and eventually disappear."

Shi Yuan sighed inwardly.

However, outwardly he naturally showed surprise.

"It turns out to be the Jade Emperor himself—Shi Yuan, a wandering cultivator from the mortal realm, greets the Jade Emperor."

He bowed slightly to the Jade Emperor.

Still putting on an act? Still acting like a hermit cultivator?

Can a rogue cultivator enter the Tushita Palace? Can he be escorted by the two golden and silver attendants? Can he be given a precious elixir by Laozi?

The Jade Emperor thought to himself.

However, Shi Yuan's unwillingness to reveal his identity pleased him.

He did want to bet on the Jie Sect, but he didn't intend to gamble everything.

If Shi Yuan were to reveal his identity, that would be counterproductive.

"Brother Shi cultivated the true Dharma at Yuanquan Mountain, and is a true cultivator in the human world... I have naturally heard of this."

The Jade Emperor sighed, "A few days ago, Bo Qin, the Heavenly Official of the Five Thunder Courts of the Thunder Department, harbored evil intentions and actually wanted to kill you with heavenly lightning."

"Although this villain was eventually stopped and has now been killed."

"But whenever I think of this, I feel deeply ashamed—if a celestial being like you, Fellow Daoist, were to be harmed by evil people, that would be a sin on the part of my Heavenly Court!"

Goodness, you just spout off like that!

Although both sides have a tacit understanding.

But Shi Yuan never expected that the Jade Emperor could speak so unpredictably.

He naturally knew about Bo Qin's killing by Wen Zhong through Yunxiao.

But unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor's words turned into "Bo Qin deliberately plotted to harm you, and the Heavenly Court owes you a favor."

Moreover, how old is the Jade Emperor?

That was the Dao Ancestor's disciple, a figure of the same generation as all the saints.

His identity is that of the supreme being of the Three Realms, and his cultivation level is that of a quasi-saint.

But these people actually addressed him as "fellow Daoist".

That's really putting on a very humble front.

"You're too kind, Great Celestial Venerable."

Shi Yuan could only lament that his skin wasn't thick enough compared to these ancient demons.

But the Jade Emperor waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What's with the polite talk?"

"Since it is the fault of my Heavenly Court that you are in danger, I will naturally compensate you."

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speak your mind!"

Only then did the conversation get to the point.

The Jade Emperor has made his stance clear.

Today I wish to place my bet on the Jie Sect; you shall state your terms!

Of course, Shi Yuan knew this too.

At most, the Jade Emperor can only say that he has the intention to cooperate, but he has probably not made a decision yet.

After all, the Jie Sect had been weak for many years, while the Chan Sect was now the number one power in the Three Realms.

If he makes excessive demands.

Alternatively, if they wanted the Jade Emperor to fully commit to the Jie Sect, the other side would certainly not agree.

So after thinking for a moment, Shi Yuan smiled and said.

"To be honest, Great Heavenly Venerable, I am currently facing a hurdle in the path of Taiyin that I have not yet overcome."

"If the Great Celestial Venerable does not mind, this humble Taoist wishes to travel to the Star Realm to observe the Taiyin Star."

He eventually made this request, which was neither too big nor too small, and not excessive.

He had always been able to sense that the Taiyin Star and Taiyang Star within the Shiyuan Realm were lacking.

However, they still had no clue what exactly was missing.

Now that he had a rare opportunity, he wanted to visit the Taiyin Star in the Three Realms.

You never know when you might find an opportunity or inspiration.

In addition, his trip to the Star Realm would also give him the opportunity to meet his senior sister, Jinling.

"The Moon..."

Upon hearing Shi Yuan's conditions, the Jade Emperor was slightly taken aback.

He began to ponder.

After all the celestial constellations, the Moon and the Sun are the most special.

After all, these two are the first stars born from the creation of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, it was formed from the eyes of the great god Pangu.

It is born with immense luck and opportunity.

Of these two stars, the Sun Star is completely outside the control of the Heavenly Court.

This is the birthplace of the former Demon Emperor Jun, the Heavenly Empress Xihe, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The Sun Star is the ancestral star of the demon race, representing their destiny and lineage.

Therefore, the Sun Star has always been personally managed by the goddess Nuwa, a saint of the demon race.

This is also why Shi Yuan did not suggest visiting the Sun Star.

Even if the Jade Emperor agreed, it wouldn't count.

"Since Senior Brother Shi wishes to go to Taiyin Star, I naturally grant his request."

As expected, after a moment's thought, the Jade Emperor agreed.
