Chapter 361

"Senior Brother Bai Lian, will we be fine going to the Jade Void Palace this time?"

"A pale, tender-looking youth gazed at Bai Lian Youth and said."

"Seeing the other's hesitant appearance, Bai Lian Youth shook their head."

"Who would have thought that the once-infamous Six-Winged Golden Cicada of the primordial wilderness would become so timid?"

"\"Jin Chanzi, this is your first time going out; don't worry, with me as your elder brother, I will surely keep you safe! \"

"Bai Lian Youth said."

"\"Then I'm relieved! \"

"Jin Chanzi nodded, but his eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, always alert to danger."

"There's no way; I don't know if it's Jin Chanzi's illusion, but he constantly feels that there are pairs of hostile eyes staring at him around him."

"That gaze was like a demon wanting to devour him alive, leaving him uneasy."

"\"Hey, Bai Lian, you're also going to the Jade Void Palace? \"

"Just then, a wave of blood mist swept in, and immediately after, Wen Dao Ren and the Rakshasa Woman stepped out from the blood mist."

"\"Greetings, Protector of the Teaching Dharma King! \"

"Bai Lian Youth and the others all bowed to Wen Dao Ren."

"There's no way; although they haven't been in the Western Teaching long, they now lead the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions, and their status in the Western Teaching is second only to the Two Sages of the West and the ever-absent Puti Laozi."

"Moreover, it is rumored that behind Wen Dao Ren stands Puti Laozi; even the Two Sages of the West cannot directly command her."

"Therefore, Wen Dao Ren's status in the entire Western Teaching is transcendent."

"As for the Two Sages of the West indulging her so, it is naturally because of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions under Wen Dao Ren's command."

"This is the foundation for the great rise of the Western Teaching; now the Asura Division has been formed, and it is rumored that she has grasped the clue of Mahoraga."

"To establish the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions, even the Two Sages of the West will not move against her in the short term."

"\"Mm\"

"Wen Dao Ren greatly enjoyed this feeling of being revered; now she even felt that, following Ao Yifan's arrangement, joining the Western Teaching was indeed an excellent choice."

"\"Huh? You must be Jin Chanzi, right? \"

"Suddenly, Wen Dao Ren's gaze fell on the youth beside Bai Lian Youth."

"Wen Dao Ren's blood-red eyes made Jin Chanzi involuntarily shrink his neck."

"There's no way; this blood-glinting gaze, Jin Chanzi sees it every time he dreams back at midnight."

"\"Cough cough\"

"His body instinctively shielded Jin Chanzi behind him, but Bai Lian Youth knew that Wen Dao Ren's true form was a close friend of the Six-Winged Golden Cicada."

"However, the Western Teaching no longer needs the Six-Winged Golden Cicada now, so Bai Lian Youth also does not want Jin Chanzi to recall those memories again."

"\"Dharma King, are you also preparing to go to the Jade Void Palace? \"

"Bai Lian Youth changed the subject."

"Upon hearing this, Wen Dao Ren indeed withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said: \"I act under Puti Laozi's order to go to the Jade Void Palace; alright, no more idle chat with you—we're leaving first! \"

"Wen Dao Ren said this, then instantly turned into blood mist, swept up the Rakshasa Woman beside him, and vanished before Bai Lian Youth and the others."

"Watching the spot where Wen Dao Ren disappeared, Bai Lian Youth's eyes flickered with a thoughtful expression."

"Before departure, Master Guiding Daoist once had him probe the true identity of that Sage."

"Furthermore, according to Guiding Daoist's words, that person is very likely an emanation of Puti Laozi."

"Bai Lian Youth was quite surprised about this, simply because he had once seen Ao Yifan."

"Although I don't know why Guiding Daoist would say that Ao Yifan is very likely an emanation of Puti Laozi, since the Sage said so, there must be his reason."

"However, Wen Dao Ren's words now made Bai Lian Youth think of even more."

"You should know, Wen Dao Ren seems to have no relation with the Upper Teaching."

"And from Wen Dao Ren's meaning, this time she goes to the Jade Void Palace is to follow Puti Laozi's orders."

"\"Could there be some connection in this? \"

"Bai Lian Youth secretly thought: \"I'm afraid Master is telling the truth; this Wen Dao Ren is indeed a person of Puti Laozi, and this trip to the Jade Void Palace must be because that person is an emanation of Puti Laozi. \"

"Puti Laozi, truly hidden deep!"

"……"

"\"Venus, prepare a generous gift and send it to my son-in-law. \"

"On the Hall of Lofty Heavens, the Jade Emperor looked at Venus and said: \"Exactly, bring a word to my son-in-law; when you have time, come more often to the Heavenly Court to gather—after all, we are all one family! \"

"\"Yes, Your Majesty! \"

"Venus bowed in assent."

"He naturally understood that the Jade Emperor saying this was meant to ease relations with his son-in-law."

"You should know, initially the Jade Emperor did not particularly favor Ao Yifan as his son-in-law."

"After all, marrying both someone's sister and daughter—it would be strange if they could tolerate it."

Later, with the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool acting as a buffer, and with the Three Lights Divine Water sent by Ao Yifan, the Heavenly Emperor's attitude toward this son-in-law improved somewhat.

But, after all, the Heavenly Emperor, conscious of his status, merely treated Ao Yifan ordinarily.

However, the situation now is different again.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor never expected that this son-in-law, who was originally not particularly favored, would actually enter the Sacred Realm.

Although it is unknown how this son-in-law managed it, the Heavenly Emperor indeed intends to ease the relationship between the two sides.

There's nothing to be done; a sage is the supreme existence between heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Emperor, relying on the heavenly realm's qi fortune, although claimed to be undefeated when facing a sage.

But after all, it is merely self-preservation.

Moreover, he must be in the Heavenly Realm to fully draw on the Heavenly Realm's qi fortune; the limitation is too great.

To truly command the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court must have its own Saint.

After all, even Hou Tu Niangniang of the Underworld has already ascended to the Saint realm.

If the Heavenly Realm lacks a Saint, how can it achieve true supremacy over the Three Realms?

As for the Supreme Elder Lord who presides over the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Sovereign does not trust him.

Simply because the Heavenly Sovereign clearly knows that the other party presides over the Heavenly Court merely to stabilize the Heavenly Realm, not to take orders from him, the Jade Emperor.

If something really happens, he simply cannot command the other party.

But Ao Yifan is different—he is his son-in-law and also his brother-in-law, and even…

Therefore, the Heavenly Sovereign now urgently wants to bind Ao Yifan to the Heavenly Court for his own use.

After all, only by possessing one's own Sacred Realm power can the Heavenly Court truly lead the Three Realms!

……

To celebrate Muzha's ascension to the position of Vice Sect Leader of the Orthodox Sect, various forces all took action.

Of course, everyone's true intention is still that newly ascended Saint.

Veteran Saints mostly have their own stable forces, and many people simply cannot make contact with them.

Only these newly ascended Saints are the targets everyone seeks.

Originally, everyone's favorite was Puti Laozi, who opened the Immortal Gate and widely accepted disciples.

However, after several years, surprisingly no one has yet found the location of Fangcun Mountain.

This has caused many people to gradually lose their patience.

Now, there is another newly ascended Saint, so many people have prepared generous gifts, wishing to pay respects to this Saint.
