If it were ten thousand years ago, someone would have dared to say this in front of him.
And this person is not even a member of the Taoist sect.
The Jade Emperor probably wouldn't even look at him.
But things are different now. With the Taoist Celestial Star Formation being forced, he no longer has much confidence to even speak.
Although over the years, the Taoist Sect has always been the same Taoist Sect, and the Heavenly Court has still been the same Heavenly Court, the power of the Taoist Sect and the Heavenly Court has actually been passing away.
Those who usually joined Taoism for profit or power have already dispersed. The four great emperors outside the world have also completely cut off contact with Heaven and Taoism. They have become a country of their own. Kunlun Mountain Taoism previously served as a transportation center for fresh blood from Heaven.
, and now it has completely stagnated.
Today's heavenly power is no longer what it used to be.
Although the Jade Emperor has been working hard to build the entire heaven over the years, a lot of its heritage has indeed been lost.
Coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty now has the vigor to defeat Buddhism, Beiju Luzhou, and the demons outside the territory, the Hongwu Emperor and the Human Emperor are indeed qualified to say this.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Even though he knew that he could not do anything to the human emperor in front of him, the Jade Emperor was still furious at this moment. He felt that he had been insulted and despised.
Correct
"Your Majesty, don't blame me. I didn't ask you for the Jade Emperor's position in vain. I can pay the price!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, and at the same time he raised his palm, and a World Tree fruit appeared in his hand.
"I can trade this with Your Majesty!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
With the destruction of the Zhoutian Star Formation, the Jade Emperor's position is actually very embarrassing. He has no power, let alone deterrence.
For the entire Three Realms, Heaven has actually become just one party among the many forces in the entire Three Realms.
And it is also the least threatening party among them.
Such a force could actually play a very limited role in the hands of the Jade Emperor.
When he had just left the Zhoutian Star Formation, he still felt that it was time for him to express his ambition. At that time, he was eager to rely on his own strength to restore the authority of the heaven.
But he soon discovered that this was simply impossible.
He can't even subdue the entire Heavenly Court that is still guarding the Heavenly Officials.
For example, the Barefoot Immortal, who looked confused before, once the Zhoutian Star Formation was broken, this guy immediately showed his extremely powerful strength and directly attracted 20% of the Immortal Officials in Heaven.
There are also Yue Lao, Tota Li Tianwang, and even the broom star. These guys who performed extremely smoothly before have now started to have their own little thoughts one by one.
The Jade Emperor only felt that his management was becoming more and more difficult, and he was even in trouble.
This also made the Jade Emperor more and more tired, even losing interest.
He even had the intention to abandon this force as early as ten years ago.
If he hadn't been thinking about his reputation all along, he would have actually done this.
But when he heard the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In addition to being angry, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his mind.
In addition, now that the Taoist ancestor has awakened, he was a Taoist boy from the Taoist ancestor, but he did not receive the order from the Taoist ancestor to make him the Lord of Heaven. His becoming the Jade Emperor was completely the result of a compromise with the Supreme Lord.
.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang took out a World Tree fruit to trade the identity of the Jade Emperor with himself, he actually felt a little moved in his heart.
"I wonder where the World Tree Fruit came from?" the Jade Emperor asked dumbly.
He naturally also knew about the world tree in Wuzhuang Temple. The first fruit was swallowed by Zhen Yuanzi, the second fruit was obtained by Taishang Laojun, and the third fruit was never ripe.
, and is still at Wuzhuang Temple.
But he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would take out another one now.
This one is obviously not the same thing as that one!
"There is no need for the emperor to worry about this. I just want to ask the emperor if he wants to conduct this transaction!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile on his face.
Since he dared to come to heaven and speak this way, he was already sure that the Jade Emperor would agree to it.
In today's Three Realms, the Heavenly Court, which is apparently the strongest force in the Three Realms, is actually only an empty shell. In fact, the nominal Lord of the Heavenly Court can no longer even command the heavenly soldiers and generals.
In fact, it is no wonder that although this emperor is very powerful, he has never been the master of power, otherwise he would not have been able to exist only as a puppet for a hundred thousand years.
That is to say, his own strength is strong enough, otherwise he might have been killed by that god without knowing it in the first few years after the Zhoutian Star Formation was broken.
When such a guy comes, the current heaven does not have any support for him, but has become a burden.
"That's fine!"
"Since you are willing to do it, I'll give it to you. I just have some insights and want to conduct a long-term retreat!" After thinking about it, the Jade Emperor finally felt that such an empty shell of the Jade Emperor did not have a world tree.
The fruit is tempting.
So he agreed to the deal proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang without much thought.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly showed a smile.
For these great monks of the Three Realms, Zhu Yuanzhang knew them too well. Especially after the Taoist sect was created, all of them only cultivated their own bodies, cut off the seven emotions, extinguished the six desires, and used the self-melting method of cultivation to become blind to the entire world.
Three Realms.
For these great masters of the three realms, nothing is as important as their own cultivation.
This is especially true now that the Zhoutian Star Formation has been destroyed.
Seeing the leaving figure of the Jade Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in the Lingxiao Palace, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked down from here.
The entire heaven is peaceful. It was once the blessed land of the immortal family and the center of power in the entire three realms, but now it is only worth being a fruit of the world tree.
"Your Majesty!" Soon, figures came galloping from below and landed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
These people include Jia Xu, Zhang Jiao, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Juzheng. They are all powerful talents accumulated by the Ming Empire from generation to generation over the years.
To be honest, any one of these people can take charge of the Three Realms alone and manage a huge empire easily.
But now Zhu Biao called them all over.
In addition to them, there are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu, the most brilliant generals of the Ming Empire.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang used a World Tree fruit to win the position of the Jade Emperor, not just for fun, but because he had his own calculations in it.
"You came just in time!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he looked behind everyone, where there were figures gathering towards this side.
There were 100,000 of the Ming Empire's most elite soldiers, each of whom had reached the peak of the first rank and was only one step away from the fairyland.
The movement at this time was huge. In an instant, consciousness came from not only the Lingxiao Palace on the 31st level, but also from the caves of many gods below, scanning over here.
"Bold, the gangsters from there dare to break into my heaven!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, but it was the giant spirit god who was guarding Nantianmen.
The current Heavenly Court Army is divided into two parts. One part is the Nantianmen Department stationed at Nantianmen, and the other part is the Star Lord Department controlled by many Star Lords.
Originally, many of the defenders of Nantianmen were direct descendants of the Jade Emperor, but after Nezha followed Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen and defected to the lower world, the situation instantly began to change.
As the leader of the Nantianmen armies, King Li Tianwang of Tota quickly developed a estrangement from the Jade Emperor, and because the King of Tota now controls two magical spiritual treasures and has subdued the four heavenly kings, although the Jade Emperor can use force
Suppress them, but dare not act rashly.
And even if he really seizes the military power of Nantianmen, he actually doesn't know what to do.
Therefore, Nantianmen was still controlled by King Tota.
And now it is obvious that the Giant Spirit God, the guard of Nantianmen, is the first one to jump out and test the one hundred thousand strong men who suddenly appeared in heaven.
"Giant Spirit God, who do you think I am?" Suddenly there was a flash of fire in the sky, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Giant Spirit God.
With hot wheels on his feet, a rocket gun in his hand, and Hun Tianling wrapped around his waist, who else could it be if he wasn't Nezha?
"Third Prince, you are back!"
"You are finally back!" The Giant Spirit God couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the person coming, and the next moment he was overjoyed.
Li Jing now controls the entire Nantianmen garrison, but he is still struggling in Heaven. With the Jade Emperor ignoring everything, he is not only under pressure internally, but also faces external challenges such as the Barefoot Immortal, and Taibai Jinxing and others who have returned to Heaven.
There is still a lot of pressure.
He must hope that Nezha can come back and help him.
And how could the Giant Spirit God, who was Li Jing's confidant, not know about this?
"I am indeed back, where is my father?" Nezha said with a smile.
"I'm here!" Li Jing's figure was revealed in a flash. He didn't look at Nezha. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the high-altitude Lingxiao Palace and asked: "Which one did you come with?"
"yes!"
Nezha nodded without any hesitation: "Father, I have joined the Ming Dynasty and become its pioneer officer. What does father think?"
"Then how magical is the Ming Empire that can make a rebellious person like you willing to join?" Li Jing asked with confusion on his face.
He knew Nezha's character very well. To put it nicely, he had his own opinions, but in fact he was unruly and lawless. The reason why he was tamed and joined the Heavenly Court as the third prince was because of the suppression of Linglong Pagoda.
Now that he had completed his foundation and made great progress in cultivation, he never expected that he would join the Ming Empire.
"Hehe, it's a long story!"
"But that's not why I came to see my father. Now that Emperor Hongwu has entered the Lingxiao Palace, shouldn't my father, as a subordinate, go to see him?" Nezha said with a smile.
"Which Emperor Hongwu entered the Lingxiao Palace?" Li Jing asked with a hint of astonishment on his face.
He really didn't expect things to develop to this point.
"Father, the current situation in the Three Realms no longer allows us to hesitate. Choosing one side to join is what we must do. Otherwise, we may not even be able to survive in the future!" Nezha said with a solemn expression.
"What does this mean?" Li Jing couldn't help but asked, feeling startled.
"I can't say too much about the specifics, but it's true that Dao Ancestor has awakened and great changes in the Three Realms are imminent. Is there any way for my father to seek refuge with Dao Ancestor?" Nezha asked.
Naturally, Li Jing has never met the Taoist ancestors, and although he also belongs to the Taoist sect, he has always been a fence-sitter. At this time, it is impossible for him to be protected by the Taoist sect.
Even if he has the power of law, he might be killed by others.
Li Jing also heard about this.
Now after being awakened by Nezha, he immediately realized that in today's Three Realms, the Golden Fairyland is no longer immortal, and the higher the Golden Fairyland, the more dangerous it is.
But even so, he was still shocked by the entry of Emperor Hongwu into the Lingxiao Palace.
If the Lingxiao Palace was occupied by the Hongwu Emperor, then where was the original Jade Emperor?
Nezha could not answer these doubts for him. In the end, Li Jing followed these doubts and climbed to the Lingxiao Palace. No matter what was going to happen in Heaven, if he stayed in Heaven, he would still have to go to Lingxiao Palace.
There were many immortals who had the same idea as him, so when many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty entered the Heavenly Palace, the Lingxiao Palace on the 30th level of the sky rarely became lively.
"Your Majesty has left?"
"You want us to regard you as the Lord of Heaven from now on?"
"This is simply ridiculous!" The Barefoot Immortal was the first to question.
He actually does not belong to the Taoist sect, but he joined the Heavenly Court when the Taoist Ancestor built the Zhoutian Star Array and the Barefoot Immortal thought it would be easier to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree.
Now the big tree has fallen, but the Barefoot Immortal has no intention of leaving. He has lived in Heaven for a hundred thousand years, his cave is here, and he has occupied a huge territory in Heaven.
He is not ready to leave.
And the most important thing is that he is ready to trap humans here, build his own paradise, and accumulate the power of his faith.
He has been doing these things for almost a thousand years. There are more than a million mortals in the cave where he lives. How could he leave at this time?
And if he does not leave, the Hongwu Emperor in front of him will not be as talkative as the previous Jade Emperor. I am afraid that he will not be willing to occupy a large amount of territory in heaven to build his own paradise.
So after many thoughts, he was the first to question this mortal emperor who had replaced the Jade Emperor to exercise sovereignty.
He wants to strike first.
And there are many immortals in the sky like him.
They also imitated the Barefoot Immortal to build a paradise here and accumulate faith. They absolutely do not want to see Heaven being truly ruled by others again.
