Palace of the Polestar

Nanji Immortal lifted his head and looked towards the Heavenly Emperor seated upon the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, who was hesitating to make a decision.

Although his face remained as calm as usual, his eyes occasionally glanced towards the Golden Mother beside him.

Obviously, these two innate divinities were secretly discussing something.

Witnessing this scene, Nanji Immortal couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain in his heart.

How can one be so indecisive and weak-willed to the point of not being able to make a minor decision? How could they possibly be the supreme Heavenly Emperor who rules over the Three Realms?

You should have never taken up the mantle of the Heavenly Emperor in the first place!

If you had not sat upon the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, then the position of Heavenly Emperor would most likely have been selected from amongst the disciples of the Human Sect, Chan Sect, and Jie Sect.

That prime disciple from the Human Sect practices his master's doctrine of purity and non-action and would most likely not be interested in the Heavenly Emperor's Throne; the prime disciple from the Jie Sect, who aims solely to follow their master's steps, probably would not have any interest as well...

In such a case, it would be a matter of course for Nanji Immortal to ascend to the Heavenly Emperor's Throne.

At this thought, Nanji Immortal's gaze towards the Heavenly Emperor became somewhat fervent.

"Your Majesty, have you made a decision?"

"I have made my decision; Immortal, you shall be tasked with..."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed softly, ultimately deciding to let Nanji Immortal take away Yang Jian.

It was the simplest and most straightforward solution.

It would also minimize the losses of the Heavenly Court.

But by doing so, it was equivalent to bowing down and showing weakness to the Saint of Yuxu Palace!

His nephew, Yang Jian, would continue to be exploited by the Chan Sect, becoming a tool for the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to ward off disasters and calamities!

Nevermind, bowing down and showing weakness to a Saint is not shameful.

The Heavenly Emperor mocked himself internally; he had already been aware of this when he first took the seat of the Heavenly Emperor's Throne.

As long as the Saints remain within the Three Realms, the so-called Heavenly Emperor ruling over the Three Realms is nothing but a joke!

Or perhaps... he is just a puppet!

His commands do not extend out of the Heavenly Court!

If one wants to do something in the Three Realms, they must ask for the Saints' guidance.

Otherwise, nothing can be accomplished.

And whether the Saints are willing to pay him any heed is another matter.

Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's decision, Nanji Immortal's lips curled into a slight smile, and he bowed politely, "Your Majesty's command, how can I, a humble Daoist, dare to disobey?

I will take this calamity, Yang Jian, back to Kunlun to be punished, to prevent him from causing further turmoil in the Heavenly Court!"

Saying this, he prepared to set out.

Just then, a loud voice came from outside the hall:

"Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy has ordered me to report to Your Majesty! Yang Jian has been captured and is being escorted to the Palace of the Polestar!"

"Captured?"

The Heavenly Emperor and the others were all taken aback.

Nanji Immortal, who was ready to leave, showed a look of surprise and confusion on his face, his mind filled with incomprehensible thoughts.

This shouldn't be possible!

Endowed with the strength of the Xuan Bird, and wielding the Mountain Opening Divine Axe, Yang Jian should now be able to defeat the majority of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!

Ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals shouldn't be able to compete with him; does the Heavenly Court's Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy have such capability?

Right, the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy seems to have some connection with Great Master Xuan Du; could it be that Great Master Xuan Du made a move?

While Nanji Immortal's thoughts raced, the Heavenly Emperor was overjoyed.

He couldn't help but tightly grasp the Treasure Bead on the armrest of his throne, trying to suppress his elation, and said with a serious tone, "Quickly receive Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy; additionally, summon the courtiers. I want to punish Yang Jian publicly, to uphold the laws and order of heaven!"

"Understood!"

The Spiritual Official outside the hall quickly took the command and left.

The Heavenly Emperor turned to look at Nanji Immortal, the frustration in his heart swept away as he laughed heartily, "It seems that there is no need for Immortal to make a move after all!

Yang Jian has trespassed into the Heavenly Court and injured the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. I will severely execute the law upon him, suppress him for a few thousand or even ten thousand years first!

Does Immortal have any objections to this?"

Nanji Immortal's lips twitched slightly.

The Heavenly Emperor's words were clearly meant for him to hear.

Could he not have objections?

If Yang Jian were truly "suppressed," then the Chan Sect would lose a valiant lead vanguard in the great calamity.

However, Yang Jian's trespass into the Heavenly Court is factual, and the Heavenly Emperor's punishment is right and proper. For the moment, he truly had no room to say much else.

...

Moments later, numerous civil and military Immortal Gods, along with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, all gathered towards the Lingxiao Palace.

Those who were qualified ascended the hall, and those who were not qualified waited outside.

"They're here!"

"Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and his party have arrived!"

Someone exclaimed first, and a multitude of civil and military Immortals, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals... all gazes simultaneously turned toward the approaching figures.

Wearing Golden Armor and Golden Helmet, tall and broad, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy led the way at the front, with the War God flanked on the left, right, and behind, encircling the three individuals in the midst as if they were stars surrounding the moon.

A man and a woman walked ahead on white clouds.

The man, impressive in stature and handsome in appearance, was clad in light blue cloud-patterned Daoist robe, with neither coronet nor bound hair. His dense, curly hair flowed loosely behind him, exuding nobility and an imposing aura.

And the woman beside him wore a white Immortal Dress with the skirt's gauzy layer flowing in the wind. In the moonlight, the gauze seemed to turn into a fine mist, making her resemble a blooming lotus.

Although her face was veiled below her eyes, concealing all features beneath, her bright and profound eyes radiated a mysterious and beautiful aura.

The arrival of the group provoked many Immortal Gods to silently transmit with their Primordial Spirits:

"Isn't that Yu Yuan Immortal who made a big splash at the Peach Banquet last time? No wonder Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy was able to capture Yang Jian; it turns out he had the assistance of this Jie Sect Immortal!"
