It was precisely because he knew Yang Jian that he knew that there was a high probability that he was not interested in the position of emperor.
In fact, regardless of whether they were immortals or mortals, where there were conflicts of interest, there would be manipulation. And as long as there were people, there would definitely be conflicts of interest.
hearing Li Jing’s words, Yang Jian felt a little irritated.
He didn’t like this feeling.
He also didn’t like Li Jing saying such things.
It was very annoying.
Li Jing’s words actually contained a strong worry about his own interests.
And he was using words that were close to kidnapping to forcefully try to change Yang Jian’s decision.
It was really annoying!
However, the most helpless thing was that Li Jing’s worries were not without reason.
Yang Jian knew very well that the Chanism label on him could not be erased.
While he was speaking, someone came to report.
“Huang Feihu, the Emperor of the Five Mountains of the Eastern Moon has come to seek an audience with Sage Emperor Tianqi Ren.”
The title was quite scary. In fact, there were quite a number of such titles in the Heavenly Court.
And this was the Emperor of the Five Mountains, Huang Feihu.
Huang Feihu surrendered to Shang Zhou and died in battle to ascend to godhood.
Jiang Ziya was in charge of the godhood rankings and had given him a high position. There were very few Chanism members, so the people of Shang Zhou were naturally from the Chanism line.
This was hard to separate.
When he heard that another person had come, Yang Jian felt a headache coming.
These people came quite quickly. He had just returned not long ago and they had already come knocking on his door.
He had no choice but to invite them in as well.
When Huang Feihu saw that Li Jing was also there, he understood. He smiled and said, “Heavenly King Li, I believe Yang Jian has told you why you are here?”
Yang Jian sighed and said, “I have. Why? Is Great Emperor Dongyue also worried about Yun Xiao and the people from Jie?”
Huang Feihu smiled bitterly and said, “Of course I’m worried. You know that I am in charge of the good and evil in the world. I am also in charge of the 18 levels of hell in the netherworld. This involves reincarnation.”
“Yun Xiao’s divine seat has the ability to control reincarnation. However, I’ve been doing this ever since I ascended to heaven. She has never asked about it. However, now that she’s in charge of the star domain alone, I’m afraid that she’ll transfer the reincarnation of this group of people out. If that’s the case, the merit incense might be split up,” Huang Feihu said worriedly.
One had to know that even if one’s cultivation had reached quasi-saint levels like Yun Xiao and Yang Jian’s, they could still be improved.
Ignoring everything else, Yun Xiao was so strong that it wouldn’t be a problem for her to beat Yang Jian and Sun Wukong alone. After all, the other party’s weapons were nothing to her.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were truly poor b*stards.
Neither of them had any decent magical treasures.
It was fine if they fought with ordinary people, but they really could not fight against Yun Xiao.
Moreover, Yun Xiao’s abilities were profound and far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
Yang Jian fell into silence.
He picked up the official document that the Jade Emperor had sent out and began reading.
After reading it, Yang Jian could not help but sigh. Huang Feihu’s worries were very reasonable.
As for the position in question, the authority in the official document stated that he could control all the laws of the star domain.
This authority meant that Yun Xiao could completely take back the power of reincarnation.
When that time came, would anyone dare disobey her?
That was fine, but Yang Jian saw something deeper from it.
If he could take back the power of reincarnation, then could he also take back the power to control the movement of the stars, the movement of clouds and rain, the distribution of spiritual energy, and so on?
One had to know that even if he could not obtain the orthodox divine seat, as long as he was in charge of specific matters, he would be able to profit from it.
There was only so much merit. Once it was split, the orthodox divine seat would naturally receive less.
In an instant, Yang Jian’s mind went through a thousand twists and turns.
Huang Feihu continued, “You should be able to tell that the celestial emperor will be the most important position in the Heavenly Court. His Majesty is doing this to redistribute some of the things that were originally planned. They have a large number of people. If we do not fight for it and the position of emperor falls into their hands, the merit and incense offerings will be controlled by others in the future. This path of cultivation will be even more endless.”
Yang Jian could not care less about the merit and incense, but he definitely could not say something that others would not care about.
“Perhaps His Majesty will not allow her to do so.” Yang Jian did not know how much credibility his words had.
Clearly, the merit and incense was a big cake.
But as the nominal owner of the cake, the cake had already been divided before the Jade Emperor was served.
Therefore, the people who ate the cake did not care who the owner was.
But now, the Jade Emperor wanted to take back all the cakes. He had the final say on how they were divided.
When the Jade Emperor said that he wanted to divide the universe, many people had not reacted. But now, many people could see that the cake might have to be redistributed.
No one was willing to give up their cake.
Even Yang Jian was the same.
Although he did not care much about the incense offerings, the Meishan brothers under him were considered his subordinate immortals. They cultivated by sharing his incense offerings.
He did not want his own people’s interests to be harmed!
Even if the immortals did not care, the Heavenly Court now had close and distant relatives.
No one was the sole commander. who did not have manpower under them?
This included the heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, and fairy maidservants. If these people followed any immortal, they could also profit from some merit to increase their cultivation speed.
Although these things could not be materialized, in reality, they were hard currency in the Heavenly Court.
Of course, the immortals themselves could not be traded for merit. However, this behavior was approved by the Heavenly Dao.
Yang Jian ultimately did not express his stance.
He only said that he needed to consider it.
After sending Li Jing and Huang Feihu off, he welcomed the others.
During this period of time, his residence was bound to become lively.
In the Heavenly Court, there were many spirit mountains floating. Some had owners, while some had no owners.
After all, there were countless heavenly soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Court. It was impossible for everyone to be squeezed together.
Sun Wukong and Lu Ping were currently cultivating on a free spirit mountain.
After peeping at the seven fairies, the two of them had settled down. Lu Ping also needed to digest the benefits he had obtained from the Heavenly Court. The nectar would be of great benefit to him.
During this period, Lu Ping also visited Cui Mengyao in Yun Xiao’s mansion.
The casting had already begun.
Yun Xiao used the Primordial Golden Dipper to help Cui Mengyao rebuild her body.
This wasn’t a difficult task for her.
She just needed time.
After the seven fairies were done, they went to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother to complain.
However, the outcome was also inconclusive.
Feng Zeming had already brought the children that Huang Beisi had asked him to return to the clan to pick.
These days, Huang Beisi didn’t go to the Seven Phoenixes sect. He didn’t even know that Lu Ping had left.
Seeing the twenty children, Huang Beisi was very proud.
Most of these children looked to be only seven or eight years old, but when it came to cultivation, they were already at the Human Immortal stage.
In fact, these children were all no less than a thousand years old.
The growth rate of the Phoenix clan was actually very slow.
Especially after the desolation transformed into the universe, the growth rate of powerful creatures like them was even slower.
In fact, there was nothing they could do about it.
Just like how Lu Ping sensed the abnormally abundant spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court, the desolation in the past was like this everywhere. That was why the desolation could give birth to countless spiritual treasures and countless powerful creatures.
The desolation shattered and turned into the universe. As the universe continued to expand, the spiritual energy became thinner and thinner. The growth of powerful races became slower and slower.
“You are all the future of our race. I’m sure you know the characteristics of our race’s internal cultivation techniques. The purer the bloodline, the better the cultivation effect. Your bloodline is mixed, so cultivating the race’s internal cultivation techniques will result in twice the effort and half the rewards. This time, you have been chosen to cultivate the other cultivation techniques. The grade will not be inferior to our race’s internal cultivation techniques! You must work hard in your cultivation. If you succeed in your cultivation, it will be great news for the entire Phoenix clan!”
