The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi Suppressed
The Human Emperor was right.
The Human Clan was now the master of the Primordial World, a race favored by the Great Dao.
One had to know that in ancient times, even the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan, powerful as they were, had failed to become masters of the Primordial World.
In antiquity, even the immensely prosperous Witch and Demon Clans had failed to become masters of the Primordial World.
But now the Human Clan had become the master of the Primordial World.
Di Xin, the Human Emperor, was the master of the Human Clan and bore the fortune of the Human Emperor.
He also had the support of the will of heaven and earth and the will of all living beings. In terms of identity and status,
he truly was no lower than Yuanshi Tianzun, the great master of the Chan Sect.
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which had retreated slightly in the air, suddenly trembled, and an unparalleled presence emanated from it.
Vast and majestic as it was, it also fluctuated somewhat.
Ye Xuan, however, let out a cold sneer:
"What? Are you still planning to attack?"
"Suppress it for me!!!"
The purple and golden Qi that had originally soared into the sky suddenly shuddered.
In an instant, they transformed into an incomparable curtain that covered the heavens, completely enveloping the whole of Chaoge.
Suppressed by the fortune of heaven and earth, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi immediately lost the support of Yuanshi Tianzun's power.
Its radiance dimmed, and it was actually suppressed on the spot.
It fell straight into the hands of Ye Xuan, the Human Emperor.
Ye Xuan took the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and examined it carefully, finding that it really was a fine treasure.
He could not help clicking his tongue in wonder.
At the sight, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression changed abruptly in the Jade Void Palace.
One had to know that this was the supreme treasure with which he had attained the Dao.
It also contained the secrets of the Chan Sect's Dao lineage and had the support of the Yuqing Sacred Dharma.
If it were damaged, it could even affect the Chan Sect's fortune.
But he had never imagined that this treasure with which he had attained the Dao would be suppressed by the Human Emperor, who lacked even the strength to truss a chicken. It was truly hard to imagine.
In the next instant, an unparalleled, terrifying presence suddenly descended upon Chaoge.
The Human Emperor's actions had clearly touched Yuanshi Tianzun's reverse scale.
At that moment, Chaoge suddenly darkened as well.
The whole world seemed to have lost its color.
But in the very next instant, a voice suddenly came from the horizon.
"Yuanshi, if you do not awaken now, when will you?"
The voice was slightly aged, and it rang out through heaven and earth like the morning bell and evening drum.
Everyone could tell that it was Taishang Laozi, master of the Human Teaching.
More than half of the Primordial World's mighty figures were now watching this affair.
How could he continue to let Yuanshi strike a killing blow?
If Yuanshi really killed the Human Emperor, not only would he himself suffer backlash from the Great Dao and fall from the Saint Realm,
but the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, arranged by their teacher himself, would also come to nothing when it was almost complete.
At last, another voice came from the distant horizon:
"Hahahaha--"
"The current Human Emperor is indeed remarkable. I was cultivating in the mountains when I sensed the karma between the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan in the unseen, and so I came to take a look."
"I did not expect the Human Emperor to be so small-minded as to mock me, which led to this farce. If I have displeased the Human Emperor, the fault is mine. But the Human Emperor has mocked me as well, so we are even."
The voice was light, distant, and melodious, no longer bearing the slightest trace of hoarseness or restraint.
"Since the Human Emperor is interested in my Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, I shall lend it to you to play with for a couple of days."
"But remember to come to Kunlun and return it to me in person."
With that, there was no further sound.
Hiss--
Many mighty figures suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
Had that great master of the Chan Sect backed down?
This was a first since heaven and earth were created.
At the same time, however, they could not help admiring the great master of the Chan Sect for his magnanimity.
To endure even under such circumstances, he could be said to possess unparalleled magnanimity.
Ye Xuan's pupils contracted slightly as well.
He had naturally cursed Yuanshi Tianzun so fiercely on purpose.
For one thing, he was certain that his life would not be in danger.
Not only was he protected by fortune, but the other Saints could not possibly let Yuanshi do as he pleased.
Ye Xuan had done all this mainly to force Yuanshi Tianzun to make a move.
As long as Yuanshi did so, it would be tantamount to owing Ye Xuan an enormous karmic debt.
Ye Xuan would then be confident of turning that karma into Yuanshi's heart demon.
He had not expected Yuanshi Tianzun to let it go at the final moment.
Yuanshi had backed down before him in public; he really had underestimated him.
Looking at the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand, once incomparably splendid but now with its presence somewhat restrained, Ye Xuan curled his lip, his interest waning.
At the final moment, Yuanshi Tianzun had advanced by retreating and turned the situation around. Even though he had lost the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, he had saved face.
Ye Xuan tapped the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand, then bowed solemnly to the Qingping Sword.
"Saint Tongtian, thank you for coming ten thousand miles to rescue me today. I shall never forget your kindness, and if I have the chance, I shall repay you."
The Qingping Sword, swaying in the air, paused slightly before turning into a streak of azure light and vanishing completely.
Ye Xuan then dawdled over to the Red Embroidered Ball. Looking at it as it floated unsteadily, he chuckled and spoke softly:
"Thank you for saving my life, sister. You came ten thousand miles to protect me, and I truly cannot thank you enough--"
In Wa Huang Palace, Empress Nuwa sensed the Human Emperor's grinning face and immediately found him rather hateful.
For this fellow's sake, she had thoroughly offended Saint Yuanshi today.
Even though the two of them had never been on particularly good terms, this was still their first open confrontation.
The Red Embroidered Ball now flashed red and struck Ye Xuan.
It sent Ye Xuan stumbling, then turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Ye Xuan nearly fell and could not help feeling a little annoyed. This crazy woman.
All I did was call her sister, didn't I? Did she have to be so ruthless?
He was the Human Emperor. Didn't he care about his dignity?
Many mighty figures were astonished to see this.
Saint Nuwa actually had this kind of interaction with the Human Emperor?
Such behavior clearly meant they were quite close.
As for just how close, no one else knew.
No wonder Nuwa had not been angry when the Human Emperor blasphemed her, and had even invited him to go west together.
It seemed Nuwa had ultimately decided to enter the tribulation after all?
As everyone withdrew, the affair finally came to an end.
Ye Xuan finally let out the breath he had been holding.
Only then did he feel a chill on his back. It had long since been soaked through with cold sweat.
Ye Xuan could not help shaking his head with a wry smile.
The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods had not even officially begun, yet he had already offended three Saints.
Had he been a little too arrogant?
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he looked at Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, who was trembling somewhat in the distance.
Ye Xuan could not help showing a trace of disdain. This affair had started because of Ao Guang's Dragon Clan.
Yet this fellow had fled so far away. With such a weak character, could the Dragon Clan really rise under his leadership?
Ye Xuan had his doubts.
After the Investiture of the Gods ended, this fellow had also been made one of the celestial gods and placed on the Investiture of the Gods.
He was the Heavenly Court's future true god in charge of rain. Now that Ye Xuan had snatched him away in advance, he wondered how Haotian Shangdi would react.
He waved his right hand, which held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi:
"Come on, let's go back and drink!!!"
