The Jade Emperor had come in person...
Could he afford not to?
Guang Chengzi had nearly sealed off every path. At such a critical moment, if they did not bring out the Heavenly Court's little boss, were they supposed to let it escalate until it alarmed the great boss of Heavenly Dao?
Li Changshou curled his lip and silently grumbled a few more times. Then he activated his Clear and Empty Dao Heart. A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes before giving way to a gentle smile.
Life was like a play; it all depended on acting.
Feeling the gale rushing toward him and considering the overall situation today, Li Changshou sat atop Bai Ze, following beside the Nine Dragon Chariot. He even appeared somewhat at ease, without the slightest trace of tension.
The Jade Emperor had no choice but to come.
According to his and Bai Ze's calculations, this was the only way to reduce the possibility of Chan Teaching and Jie Teaching tearing off all pretenses to the lowest point.
His immortal sense caught sight of the Jie Teachings Immortals hurrying toward the Jade Void Palace from Mount Emei.
They had not gone far earlier. Zhao Gongming had Li Changshou's Paper Daoist in his sleeve.
While the Jade Emperor hurried toward the Jade Void Palace in a blaze of urgency, they would continue over to serve as witnesses and, at the very least, gain some sense of participation.
Taking a step back, if things truly escalated today until the three teachings clashed once more, there had to be Jie Teaching immortals present. Otherwise, the Jie Teaching immortals would be extremely passive afterward.
Originally, Li Changshou had wanted to stall for time and see whether he could find an opportunity to resolve this crisis of the Dao Sect.
