277: Chapter 276: Return to the Heavenly Court 277: Chapter 276: Return to the Heavenly Court Ye Xuan, dressed in a black Daoist robe, stood upon swirling black clouds, travelling amidst the harsh winds, thunder, and fire, headed towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven. Indeed, Ye Xuan was making his return to the Heavenly Court. The battle between Ye Xuan and Yang Jian had left both parties severely wounded. In order to heal, Ye Xuan had spent ten years in hiding, fearing that the Jade Emperor would take this opportunity to strike him down when he was at his weakest. But now, fully recovered, his cultivation had also reached the late stages of being a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, just one step away from advancing to the realm of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. The chance to break through to this realm awaited him within the Heavenly Court. Ye Xuan was a man of inscrutable designs. He planned to use the fame from his battle with Yang Jian to request some valuable items from the Jade Emperor, a risky endeavor, but one that Ye Xuan deemed necessary. As Ye Xuan crossed ten thousand miles of violent celestial disturbances, the South Heavenly Gate came into view, prompting him to ride the clouds towards it without a second’s hesitation. The Four Great Heavenly Kings, cloaked in golden light, guarded the front of the South Heavenly Gate. Their expression changed as Ye Xuan suddenly appeared before them. Just as they were about to shout in anger, the sight of Ye Xuan’s face made them swallow their words. “Ye... True Monarch Ye?” King of Holding Country exclaimed in shock, and the Four Great Heavenly Kings quickly bowed deeply to Ye Xuan, keeping themselves extremely humble; each of them looked somewhat fearful and uneasy, not having expected Ye Xuan to be alive and now returning to the Heavenly Court. It wasn’t surprising for the Four Great Heavenly Kings to act so humbly. They had personally witnessed Ye Xuan’s ferocity in the battle with Yang Jian years ago, and the memory was still vivid, instilling awe towards Ye Xuan. What the four did not realize was that Yang Jian’s life or death remained uncertain, yet here was True Monarch Ye returning to the Heavenly Court. Were they not aware that Yang Jian’s brothers were actively searching for him? “The return of the True Monarch to Heavenly Court is truly a joyous occasion; I will immediately notify the Jade Emperor,” said King of Holding Country, forcing a flattering smile. “No need, I will go to Lingxiao Palace myself to meet the Jade Emperor. I presume he has been searching for me tirelessly these past years,” responded Ye Xuan with a sly smile, piloting his black clouds through the South Heavenly Gate, disappearing from the Four Heavenly Kings’ sight. ... Thirty-Three Heavens. As Ye Xuan rode the clouds, countless immortals burst into an uproar, and Immortal Officials relayed the news to the Jade Emperor, making the Heavenly Court’s Group of Immortals aware that not only was Ye Xuan alive, but he was also heading towards Lingxiao Palace. Daybreak drums and morning bells rang, emitting auspicious energy thousandfold. The sound of eighteen Immortal Bells echoed throughout the Heavenly Court, summoning all immortals of the Immortal Class to rush towards Lingxiao Palace. Inside the Lingxiao Palace! The Jade Emperor sat in the central imperial seat, his Immortals lined up on either side. Yet, the atmosphere in the grand hall was eerily silent and strange. Buzz! A terrifying Immortal Light shattered the void, followed by the sound of rumbling explosions. Ye Xuan suddenly appeared in the middle of Lingxiao Palace, his demeanor calm and composed, without offering any sort of greeting to the so-called Jade Emperor. If this had been in the past, just the act of Ye Xuan’s entry would have drawn rebukes from the Immortal Officials. But times had changed. The Group of Immortals remained silent, the Immortal Officials pale, none daring to rebuke Ye Xuan. At that moment, Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as he looked around at the group of immortals. When his gaze landed on Changsheng Immortal Venerable, the Venerable’s face froze for a moment, he slightly nodded to Ye Xuan, then shifted his gaze away, emitting an aura that seemed to keep others at a thousand miles distance. Although Ye Xuan’s battle with Yang Jian had established his supreme reputation and combat power, the fact that he obliterated Yang Jian’s physical body had offended the Chan Sect. Even though Yuanshi Tianzun had once granted Ye Xuan the Jade Pure Token, Yang Jian was after all the foremost among third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, and the two were already irreconcilable enemies. This naturally caused Changsheng Immortal Venerable to side with Yang Jian, severing his relationship with Ye Xuan. It was not just Changsheng Immortal Venerable; other immortals from the Chan Sect felt the same. When looking at Ye Xuan, their eyes held awe, helplessness, and a tint of regret. Ye Xuan was a smart man; with just one glance, he could discern the thoughts of the group of immortals. He simply smiled slightly, not minding their opinions. After all, his return to the Heavenly Court this time was just to request some items from the Jade Emperor, after which he would head to the Earth Immortal Realm to proceed with his grand cultivation plan. As for the immortals of the Chan Sect, as long as they did not provoke him, he naturally would not seek trouble with them. “Ye Qingjia, both you and Yang Jian are esteemed ministers of my Heavenly Court. Yet, I hadn’t expected a simple spar to cause such turmoil in the Heavenly Court. Now that you can return safely, My heart is greatly relieved,” the Jade Emperor stated with authority. Hearing the words of the Jade Emperor, Ye Xuan gave a cold smile in his heart, then got straight to the point, “This humble Daoist is severely injured. I have returned to the Heavenly Court to request the Jade Emperor grant me Spiritual Medicine to heal my wounds, so that I may serve the Heavenly Court well.” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Jade Emperor’s eyes sharpened, and then he smiled, “What you say makes much sense. Someone go fetch the Fahuadan and present it to Ye...” “Wait!” Suddenly, before the Jade Emperor could finish speaking, Ye Xuan quite rudely interrupted him, causing a slight change in the expression of the group of immortals. The Jade Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that Ye Xuan’s appearance before him was not so simple. “While Fahuadan is of high-quality among Immortal Pills, it is insufficient to heal the severe wounds I have,” Ye Xuan stated calmly. “Oh?” The voice of the Jade Emperor turned slightly cold, “Then what kind of elixir do you need?” “A Nine Thousand Year Old Peach and a Nine Revolutions Daluo Golden Pill. Only these two holy objects can heal my severe wounds,” Ye Xuan boldly declared. “Hiss!” As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the group of immortals gasped in shock. They looked at Ye Xuan as if he were a madman. Even the Jade Emperor, a deeply cunning figure, had his expression darken, with a hint of murderous intent quietly flickering in his eyes. It was no wonder the group of immortals and the Jade Emperor reacted this way. Everyone knew that a Nine Thousand Year Old Peach, even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, could not consume it casually. Only during the Nine Thousand Year Peach Festival could the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Daluo Golden Immortals of the Three Realms have the fortune to eat one. As for the Nine Revolutions Daluo Golden Pill, that was the treasure securing the Doushuai Temple, capable of significantly enhancing an immortal’s realm. Even the Jade Emperor did not have the authority to grant such an item. “This humble Daoist is jesting, these two holy objects are such that even I do not have the authority to bestow upon you. Please choose another kind of Immortal Pill,” the Jade Emperor, forcefully suppressing his anger, spoke with feigned helplessness. In response to the Jade Emperor’s evasive refusal, Ye Xuan had anticipated this outcome and his expression slightly cooled as he spoke, “Back then, that youngster Yang Jian bullied me for my weak cultivation. If not for my remarkable divine skills, I would have been beaten to death, my soul scattered.”
