Judicial Great Celestial Venerable was the lord of the Tian Shu Institute, one of the many departments in the Heavenly Realm's two courts. He held the title of Celestial Venerable and was also a Great Emperor, his rank nearly the highest in the Six Realms. His power stood at the peak of Great Grade. Qi WuHuo had clashed with him several times and knew that Judicial Great Celestial Venerable followed a path of using his own Dao to mete out Heaven's punishments.
Recently, he had even tried to extend his reach into both the Dipper Court and Human Dao Destiny.
He intended to raise the Human Emperor, who had just been cast down into the Netherworld, into the Heavenly Palace and make him one of the Four Hidden Stars. That had brought him into direct conflict with the young Daoist. His conduct was domineering, his station exalted, and he was a formidable enemy. But Qi WuHuo paused, not answering at once. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Would Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole intervene?"
Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head. "He won't... The North Emperor is only responsible for maintaining the final boundary of the Six Realms..."
The Jade Emperor's rule was not that boundary.
At least, it would not bring the Six Realms to ruin.
That was the implication Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole had left unsaid.
Zhang Xiaoyu sighed. His earlier sharpness faded, and he once more wore a mild, harmless expression. "Besides, while I was playing chess with Great Emperor Ziwei just now, I quietly asked what he thought..."
He paused, his expression complicated, as if recalling what Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole had said. He invited Qi WuHuo inside and waved over a wisp of cloud to carry tea.
