Chapter 532: Jade Emperor: My Senior Brother Wants to See You!

The immortal soldier had brought the Jade Emperor five Spatial Rings.

The Jade Emperor’s eyes flashed when the soldier mentioned that the five rings were from Jiang He, and said, “Give it to me.”

An old white-haired immortal with a fly-whisk walked up to take the five Spaital Rings.

His name was Taibai Jinxing, and he was one of the ministers in the Celestial Court.

The immortal soldier appeared unaware of what was inside the Spatial Rings since he was only in charge of delivering it, which was why the Jade Emperor only found out what actually was inside after using his immortal will to scan it.

He appeared taken aback at first, and scanned it again to confirm that he was not mistaken, with his expression soon turning to one of great shock.

The immortals within the Jade Emperor’s palace were beside themselves in curiosity.

The Jade Emperor had always been very imposing in front of the other immortals and would keep calm no matter what happened. When had he ever acted like this?

As for the Jade Emperor himself…

He took quite a long while to come to his senses, his shock soon turning into delight as he coolly said, “Minister, were you not saying that Jiang He is one person, and that his progress in reforging mystic treasures would be limited even if he had a thousand clones?”

The immortal who had spoken before answered, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Good.

The Jade Emperor was left amused at that.

His tone changed then and he added, “As everyone knows, I have ordered some of our people to tidy the palace vaults, and pass every immortal item or mystic treasure we have to Jiang He.”

“You had made inventory then, Lü Dongbin. Do you still remember the precise numbers of our inventory?”

Beneath his throne, Lü Dongbin took a few steps forward and replied, “Your Majesty, the mystic treasures within the vault includes 3.6 million inferior-grade immortal items, 900,000 mediocre-grade immortal items, 300,000 superior-grade immortal items, 50,000 premium-grade immortal items, and 103 acquired soul treasures.”

The Jade Emperor rose and swept his gaze over the crowd of immortals with a faint smile. “And if I remember correctly, were those 300,000 superior-grade immortal items, 50,000 premium-grade immortal items and 103 acquired soul treasures only passed to Mister Jiang three days ago?”

“They were indeed,” Lü Dongbin answered reverently.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand then, and one of the five Spatial Rings placed on a jade tray suddenly flew, an immortal light shining from it as it flew out of the palace.

In that instant, immortal radiance flashed and interweaved, directly forming a massive screen of immortal light, dispelling much of the divine mist around the palace.

The Jade Emperor then led the other immortals out of the palace, pointed at the giant screen of light, and smiled. “Ministers, please take a look. What do you think about those mystic treasures?”

The immortals who could enter the Jade Emperor’s palace were all important ministers of the Celestial Court and were powerful.

They all looked up and found then that the screen of immortal light was actually formed from innumerable immortal items and mystic treasures.

Each item varied in function and appearance, but the Immortal Dao emanating from it showed that all of those immortal items were mediocre-grade!

Those immortals were extraordinary in quality and would most certainly be the best mediocre-grade immortal items there was, and it even turned out that the immortal items of that grade occupied most of the screen of immortal light.

“3.6 million mediocre-grade immortal items?!”

An immortal had counted the immortal items in the screen of light with his immortal will, and hence could not help gasping in surprise. “3.6 million masterless mediocre-grade immortal items… When did our Celestial Court have so many mystic treasures stored?”

There were also other immortals whose eyes flickered, remembering what Lü Dongbin had said in the Jade Emperor’s palace before.

3.6 million inferior-grade immortal items…

And there were 3.6 million mediocre-grade immortal items now!

“His Majesty has mentioned that Jiang He is a grandmaster in item refinement, and there is a huge chance for any immortal item that he obtains to be improved by one grade…”

One of the immortals thought then, but soon refuted the idea as soon as it came. “No way… the grade of immortal items is largely determined by both the ability of the person who refines the item and the materials used for it!”

“With so many mystic treasures, the limit of refinement would still be inferior-grade immortal items even with all the materials in the world. How could Jiang He have upgraded them?”

“Moreover, there are 3.6 million inferior-grade immortal items…”

That was when the Jade Emperor waved his hand again—

Whoosh!

900,000 superior-grade immortal items rose to the air, and the immortal light shining from them instantly brightened further.

“That’s… that’s…”

The doubtful immortal from before could not help exclaiming, “900,000 superior-grade immortal items… the numbers match! Did Jiang He really strengthen all those immortal items?!”

The other immortals all appeared filled with shock, most of them coming to a realization just then.

At the same time, the Jade Emperor remained imposing, a faint smile hanging by his lips while he laughed wildly inside… What a bunch of bumpkins. Do they finally realize how godly my decisions are?

All of you were making such a fuss at my throne and only stopped short at calling me a fool. How far do you think your jaws are dropping now?

Then, the Jade Emperor waved his hand again.

Immortal light shone again in that very instant, and 300,000 premium-grade immortal items rose to the air.

The other immortals were all silent with shock, and it was after a long while when someone finally asked hoarsely, “Your Majesty, about those mystic treasures?”

“Everything had been stored in the Celestial Palace’s vault,” the Jade Emperor replied flatly.

One of the ministers dropped limply to the floor then, muttering, “Impossible… Impossible… Jiang He had reforged millions of immortal items in mere days?!”

The many immortal ministers had lost composure and they could not be blamed.

Reforging immortal item was one thing, while upgrading millions of immortal items by one grade was another matter entirely…

Take the 300,000 premium-grade immortal items, for example… for every last of those items to be upgraded to their current level totally tore apart their perspective as immortals.

And yet, the Jade Emperor was not stopping.

He waved his hand again, and 50,000 acquired soul treasure hovered in the air, their frightening power released, having each been upgraded from premium-grade immortal items.

They were soon joined by 103 acquired soul treasures, which were now mediocre-grade immortal items.

Meanwhile, at the Tushita Palace, one of the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Celestial Palace…

“Moo…”

A bull’s call could suddenly be heard, and an elderly person who had been napping looked out into the distance, unable to hold back his surprise. “How did the kid managed to do it?”

***

Meanwhile, Jiang He was unaware of the commotion he had caused at the Celestial Court after casually planting a batch of immortal items.

He was lying down cheerfully beneath his Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment, watching as Dumbo, Trumbo, and the others sweated buckets while diligently planting medicinal pellets. Nodding in satisfaction, he looped one hand around Hu Mei and the other around Boa Hancock before heading to the mansion in the Farm in a carefree manner…

Then, stepping out three hours later, he started to harvest the medicinal pellets.

That was when Sora entered the Farm and said reverently, “Master, the Jade Emperor has arrived.”

Jiang He came out of his Farm, and when he saw the Jade Emperor who promptly told him, “Jiang He, my senior brother wishes to see you.”

Senior brother?

Jiang He exclaimed in surprise. “You have a senior brother, Your Majesty?”

As his spoke, his eyes soon widened in realization. “Could Your Majesty be referring to… him?”

The Jade Emperor was a ward of Taishang Laojun himself, whose disciples were the Six Saints.

So, when it comes to seniority… they were more or less equals!
