He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 582 The Power of Heavenly Laws (First Update)

"I am Li Qing, a disciple of Yu Ding Zhenren under the tutelage of Yuanshi Tianzun. Today, this prince, along with a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, surrounded my cave where I cultivate, claiming that I am hiding three wanted criminals of the Heavenly Court, and forcibly broke in."

They found nothing, yet they tried to peek at the Chan Sect's Taoist scriptures in my cave! Marshal Tianpeng, you be the judge, isn't this going too far?

Li Chuan, holding Tianpeng's hand, complained there.

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng burst out laughing, then immediately nodded and said towards the Great Golden Crow:

"Your Highness, this is wrong of you. How could you trespass into someone's cave and disturb their peaceful cultivation without reason? It's immoral, extremely immoral."

It's rare to see the Golden Crow suffer a setback, so how could he not be happy?

However, the Chan Sect truly lived up to its reputation as one of the three major sects. Even with only three generations of disciples, their strength was so formidable that they couldn't even faze the Great Golden Crow.

"snort!"

The Great Golden Crow let out a cold snort. Although it was furious, it was powerless to refute anything.

Meanwhile, Yao Ji, who was being held captive, also saw Li Chuan. However, being incredibly clever, she immediately knew that the three children were safe after hearing their conversation, so she didn't dare to change her expression.

"Marshal Tianpeng, what's going on here?"

At this moment, Li Chuan saw Yao Ji being held captive and pretended to show a hint of curiosity on his face.

Tianpeng explained in a low voice:

"That is the eldest princess. Because she fell in love with a mortal, she violated the heavenly rules. The Jade Emperor has banished her to the mortal realm to reflect on her mistakes. She can only return to heaven when she repents."

"I see. Then it won't interfere with Marshal Tianpeng's official duties. I still need to go with the Great Golden Crow to seek justice from the Jade Emperor."

Li Chuan made a Daoist bow.

Actually, the Jade Emperor in this world isn't entirely heartless.

If he were truly heartless, he wouldn't have fathered ten sons and eight daughters; he would have been just like any other emperor in the mortal world.

What he values ​​most is his own power as the ruler. The Heavenly Laws are an important manifestation of protecting his power as the master of the Three Realms. Therefore, he will severely punish all gods who violate the Heavenly Laws except for himself.

It's not that they are truly selfless, or that they believe that love between gods and mortals would disrupt the order of the human world.

In his eyes, mortals were nothing but ants; otherwise, he wouldn't have released the Weak Water to kill Yang Jian, causing a massive flood that killed countless people.

Even though Yao Ji, as his sister, violated the heavenly rules and said many rebellious things, he only imprisoned her under Peach Mountain to reflect on her actions. As long as she repented, she would still be the eldest princess of the Heavenly Court.

Similarly, his daughter, the Eighth Fairy, met the same fate: she was confined to her room to reflect on her mistakes and was not severely punished.

He was a bit harsh on Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan, who were his blood relatives, but when he heard Yang Chan call him "uncle," he softened and almost let her go. If it weren't for the Queen Mother, who wanted to seize power, fanning the flames from the side, the Jade Emperor might not have executed Yang Chan.

On the contrary, for the mortals that Yang Tianyou and the Eight Fairies liked, they directly ordered to kill them and throw them into the eighteenth level of hell.

If it were truly for the sake of the Heavenly Laws and the order of heaven and earth, then Yao Ji and the Eight Immortals should be severely punished as a warning to others, while those mortals who have not violated the Heavenly Laws should not be punished.

Even though he ultimately ordered the ten golden crows to scorch Yao Ji to death, it was actually because, as an emperor, he felt that his power had been challenged to the greatest extent and he had to kill her to establish his authority.

Then look at Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian. One of them, drunk, made a few flirtatious remarks to Chang'e, and the other accidentally broke a glass cup. They were both banished to the mortal world and made into monsters.

Therefore, Li Chuan felt that the Heavenly Court in this world was just like the imperial court of mortals, where a group of immortals schemed against each other and fought for power. They were just people with more power and had nothing to do with the word "immortal".

After parting ways with Tianpeng, who was escorting Yaoji, and after confronting the Great Golden Crow all the way, Li Chuan arrived at the Jade Emperor's temporary office, which was also the Queen Mother's palace.

The three-headed dragon swallowed the ancient dragon pearl and is currently sealed at the foot of Kunlun Mountain by Yuanshi. Without the ancient dragon pearl, the Lingxiao Palace can only be barely supported by the crescent shovel of the Curtain-Rolling General, and is completely unable to operate.

"Transform into a peach mountain and suppress her beneath it. If she does not admit her mistake, she will never be allowed to return to the Heavenly Court."

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor picked up a celestial peach, then used his power as the Jade Emperor to attach the Heavenly Laws to the peach and throw it down.

The immortal peach immediately transformed into a mountain, pressing Yao Ji down to the mortal realm. Chains formed from heavenly laws bound her body and soul, sealing all her magical power.

"These heavenly laws are truly powerful!"

Li Chuan, who witnessed this scene firsthand, was also somewhat shocked.

He felt that even with his current cultivation level and abilities, there was absolutely no way he could escape if he were sealed by the Heavenly Laws.

The Heavenly Rules were not established by the Jade Emperor, but by Hongjun, a sage of the Heavenly Dao who was one with the Heavenly Dao, symbolizing the most powerful law in this world.

The Jade Emperor, who was once Hongjun's attendant, only had the authority to use the Heavenly Laws.

Therefore, for him to enforce the Heavenly Laws, the opponent must be powerless to resist. When Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Chenxiang wreaked havoc in Heaven, the Jade Emperor could not use the Heavenly Laws to directly suppress them in the mortal realm.

Although the Jade Emperor of this world possesses the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he has virtually no combat power.

It's like a mortal eating a peach of immortality and instantly ascending to become an immortal, possessing the magical power of an immortal. In a real battle, he might not even be able to defeat a Taoist priest in the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.

The Jade Emperor's attendant was forcibly elevated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal because Hongjun needed him to become the Jade Emperor.

"Great Golden Crow, you've returned. Have you already slain those three monstrous beings who were neither human nor immortal?"

After throwing down the immortal peaches, the Jade Emperor looked up and saw the giant golden crow below. He rubbed his temples and asked:

"How did you end up with such a bruised and swollen face? What an appearance!"

"Father, we haven't found the three Yang siblings yet; something unexpected happened."

The golden crow lowered its head and replied.

Before he could explain, Li Chuan spoke first.

"I, Li Qing, a disciple of the Jade Cauldron True Man under the seat of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, pay homage to the Supreme Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable of Forgiving Sins, the Supreme Lord of the Jade Palace, the Golden Palace of the Clouds, the Nine Heavens, the Palace of the Cloud ...

A standard Daoist text, coupled with the most esteemed full name, exudes profound respect.

"So you're a disciple of the Chan Sect. No need for formalities. What brings you to heaven?"

Upon hearing that the person was actually a grand-disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and that the person spoke with such respect and courtesy, his expression softened considerably.

He hadn't even noticed the Taoist priest next to the Great Golden Crow; he thought he was one of the Great Golden Crow's subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan immediately said solemnly:

"Since I began my cultivation, I have always heard my master, the Jade Emperor, say that the Heavenly Court is the legitimate authority of the Three Realms, and the Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms, the most honorable being in the Three Realms, who maintains the order of the Three Realms and is fair and impartial."

Having just witnessed how even Princess Yaoji, who had violated the heavenly rules, was punished by being imprisoned under Peach Mountain, I knew that what my master said was true, and I felt immense respect for him.
