The Barefoot Immortal frowned not because he was dissatisfied with the Carefree Great Emperor, but because the Carefree Great Emperor's status made it exceedingly difficult for him to take the Jade Emperor's throne.
Uchiha Shin understood these concerns as well. He had discussed this matter with several people before, and they had all pointed out the Carefree Great Emperor's status.
So it would be very difficult to place the Carefree Great Emperor on the Jade Emperor's throne.
"Then, Immortal, aside from the Carefree Great Emperor, who do you think would be suitable to become the Jade Emperor? Don't say me." Uchiha Shin wanted to hear the Barefoot Immortal's opinion.
Barefoot Immortal said, "Other than the Carefree Great Emperor, I think His Highness Eastern Emperor Taiyi would be suitable. After all, he was once the lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court. He has the ability for it, and if he were to take the position, the people of the Three Realms would surely agree."
Uchiha Shin said, "His Highness Eastern Emperor Taiyi certainly could take the position, but haven't you considered his status, Immortal? His status is too lofty—higher even than that of the Three Pure Ones. If he became the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun would have a hard time controlling the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor."
The Barefoot Immortal nodded. "Yes. If Laojun chooses another Jade Emperor, I think he may choose a mortal. Even if not a mortal, he would certainly choose someone weak, someone easier to control."
Uchiha Shin smiled. The current Heavenly Court belonged to Laojun. The Jade Emperor was merely a figurehead Laojun had put forward.
"Mystic Spirit King, I should be leaving as well. We'll meet again if fate permits," said the Barefoot Immortal.
"Take care, Immortal."
Watching the Barefoot Immortal depart, Uchiha Shin
