Phi-Fic Chapter 1857 The Jade Emperor Who Follows His Heart
Chapter 1857 The Jade Emperor Who Follows His Heart
The Jade Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "I cannot join the Heavenly Court."
Mo Wendao was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to refuse outright.
Seeing the Jade Emperor's resolute expression, Mo Wendao also realized the reason.
He smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to join the Heavenly Court, but I want your divine dynasty to form an alliance with my Heavenly Court. What do you think?"
"That's it?"
The Jade Emperor was somewhat surprised, looking at Mo Wen with a strange expression.
Mo Wendao laughed and said, "You are quite remarkable to be able to establish a divine dynasty in the Buddhist land. However, there is one thing you may not know: this Buddhist land has great karma, and I'm afraid that huge troubles will come knocking on our door in the future. Even my Heavenly Court is afraid of troubles."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's expression changed drastically.
He stared intently at Mo Wendao, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood in his words, but the more he looked, the uglier the Jade Emperor's expression became.
He thought for a moment, "Maybe I should change my mind now and join the Heavenly Court instead."
Ye Ning watched in stunned silence. Even a powerful figure like the Jade Emperor was focused on following his heart.
He just said he didn't want to join the Heavenly Court, but now that he knows there might be big trouble in the future, he immediately agreed to join the Heavenly Court and even took the initiative to ask.
This left Ye Ning both amused and exasperated; he had never seen such a powerful and self-assured individual before.
Mo Wendao smiled and said, "I won't make things difficult for you, fellow Daoist. It's fine to just form an alliance. After all, my Heavenly Court also dislikes trouble."
Having said that, the Jade Emperor was even more terrified.
Even a powerful figure at the ninth level of the Heavenly Emperor realm is afraid of trouble. What does that mean? The Jade Emperor knows very well.
As for whether Mo Wendao was just trying to scare him, he actually had a feeling that this Buddhist land contained immense karma.
Even a powerful being like Buddha severed his ties with the Buddhist land and left it in order to sever all connections.
Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "I did not join the Heavenly Court because there is that scoundrel Qitian in the Heavenly Court. But now that I think about it, personal grudges are a small matter. The Heavenly Court protects the living beings in the universe, and the Heavenly Emperors are also concerned about this. If I could join, it would be my honor. Therefore, it is better to join the Heavenly Court."
Seeing the Jade Emperor's serious expression, Mo Wen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't you suspect that I deliberately threatened you to get you to join the Heavenly Court?"
The Jade Emperor shook his head: "You are not that kind of person, and there is no need for it. If you really wanted to subdue the Heavenly Palace, with the strength of the Heavenly Court, it would be easy to do so. There is no need to be so roundabout. Besides, it is not in line with your character."
Clearly, the Jade Emperor knew Mo Wendao quite well, as he was once the number one god-king in the Ziwei Heavenly Court.
What kind of person is he?
The Jade Emperor knew this very well.
The other party would never stoop to such tactics, especially when dealing with someone who is not an enemy.
The Jade Emperor had no doubt about Mo Wendao's words, and even suspected that Mo Wendao was afraid that he would join the Heavenly Court, which might be an understatement.
He had realized that there was a big problem with this Buddhist land, but he was rooted here and had countless disciples and subjects under his command, so he could not abandon it.
However, the Jade Emperor would not be willing to let him perish because of the great karma of the Buddhist land. After all, he had already cultivated to this level and was already indestructible for eternity. Even if heaven and earth were destroyed, it might not be able to make him perish.
Having reached such a level, who would still want to die?
If one is not in a desperate situation, it is impossible to accept the outcome of death.
Moreover, he had not yet reached the realm of immortals, so naturally he was unwilling to perish like this.
In the Heavenly Court, powerful figures abound.
There was even a Mo Wendao who had a deep understanding of Buddhist images.
Since that's the case, by joining the Heavenly Court, he actually gained a powerful backer.
However, his own contribution to the Heavenly Court was not as great as one might imagine.
After all, there is more than one strongest Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Court. If they were to attack together, the entire starry sky would probably tremble. And I am still a bit short of being the strongest among the Heavenly Emperors.
Thinking about this, the Jade Emperor felt even more strongly that joining the Heavenly Court was the right choice.
His expression was resolute. He didn't even look at Mo Wendao, but instead bowed directly to Ye Ning.
"I, the Jade Emperor of Heaven, am willing to join the Heavenly Court. I request the Lord of the Heavenly Court to agree."
Ye Ning's expression was strange.
At first, the Jade Emperor refused to join the Heavenly Court, but now he was pleading with him, which made the Jade Emperor both amused and exasperated.
However, Ye Ning was also quite cautious, his gaze falling on Mo Wendao with a questioning expression.
Mo Wendao remained silent, standing there with an air of mystery, while Ye Ning found himself in a dilemma.
At this moment, Mo Wen spoke up: "Follow your nature, and your decision will be the right one."
Upon hearing Mo Wendao's words, Ye Ning's heart stirred, and he immediately understood what Mo Wendao meant.
He meant that his decisions should all be within his future self's calculations, and whatever decision he makes, as long as it comes from his heart, is within his calculations.
This made Ye Ning feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if he were being controlled.
But he also felt that this way, he would have no worries about the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to let the Jade Emperor join the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor was overjoyed, and then he directly used his magic power to project a huge Dharma image that filled the entire starry sky.
Everyone looked up in that direction, especially the Heavenly Emperor, whose face was filled with horror.
They could sense that this was only a quasi-Heavenly Emperor, but the power he displayed was in no way inferior to that of a true Heavenly Emperor.
Even some weaker Heavenly Emperor-level experts cannot compare to him.
The other party is at least a being at the seventh level of the Heavenly Emperor realm.
Ever since the Supreme Lord of Morality revealed that the Heavenly Emperor was divided into nine heavens, this secret was no longer a secret.
Based on this distinction, everyone understood their own level of understanding.
Most Heavenly Emperors are basically at or below the sixth level of the Heavenly Emperor realm.
The stronger Heavenly Emperors are all at the seventh level of the Heavenly Emperor realm.
As for the strongest among the Heavenly Emperors, their strength is all at the eighth level of the Heavenly Emperor realm.
As for the existence of the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Emperor, throughout history, probably no one except that one true immortal has ever reached it.
After realizing this, everyone felt it was both laughable and absurd. They hadn't even reached the peak of the Heavenly Emperor, yet they wanted to become immortals. It was simply a pipe dream.
Only by reaching the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Emperor realm, where there is no room for further advancement within the Heavenly Emperor level, can one have the possibility of breaking through to the True Immortal realm.
If they want to become true immortals, they must raise their strength to the highest level of the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor.
However, it is quite astonishing that a quasi-Heavenly Emperor possesses strength equivalent to the seventh level of the Heavenly Emperor realm.
Clearly, this is a powerful individual who has paved a smooth path to enlightenment through unconventional means. Although his strength is not as great as Mo Wendao's, it is still extremely impressive because he has succeeded on his path.
Thinking about this, many people were filled with envy.
Once they find another path, one that doesn't follow the Heavenly Emperor's way, they won't be targeted by evil spirits or encounter misfortune. They can then act without restraint or restriction.
Thinking of this, many Heavenly Emperors looked in this direction with complicated expressions.
