Chapter 329: Persuasion (1)



At the mouth of the Heavenly Court, at God Erlang’s residence, Yang Jian was currently dressed in casual clothes and had his hands in his pockets.
He had short hair and a silver line in the middle of his forehead. It was his third eye.
He descended from the sky.
Yuan Hong and the Meishan brothers welcomed him together.
“Why did my uncle call me back?” Yang Jian’s face was filled with displeasure.
Nothing good ever happened when the Jade Emperor came looking for him.
At least, that was how he saw it.
Yuan Hong went forward and said with a smile, “Dude, you don’t know yet, right? During this period of time, something big happened in the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor split up the star domains, and Yun Xiao was conferred the title of Empress Chongxi. She is in charge of the southeast star domain.”
Yang Jian sneered after hearing that. “What does that have to do with me?”
Yuan Hong held Yang Jian’s hand, as they walked into the house, he said, “Are you really muddle-headed or are you just pretending to be muddle-headed? For so many years, it has been our Chanism that has suppressed the Jie sect. Now that Yun Xiao has become the empress, she is in the limelight. Even when the Jade Emperor hosts a banquet, only she has a 9,000-year-old Peach of Immortality.” ...
“Hehe, I don’t care about the Peaches of Immortality. With my cultivation level, the Peaches of Immortality are useless to me. It was nothing more than satisfying one’s appetite. Although the food in the lower stage was not as rich in spirit energy as the Peaches of Immortality, it was a lot more complex when it came to taste. There were only a few types of food that were available in the Heavenly Court. I have long had enough of them.” Yang Jian did not take what he said seriously.
And that was indeed the case. No matter how delicious the food was, it would not be as delicious if it was eaten all the time.
Yang Jian’s cultivation level was also at the quasi-saint level.
In particular, he knew very well that it was unrealistic to want to become a saint.
Even Yun Xiao, who had already slashed out three corpses, was still a quasi-saint.
Sometimes, it was just a thin line, but it was an eternal chasm.
Some people were still trying hard.
Some people were already in despair.
Yang Jian belonged to the latter. He could not become a sage anyway. What was the difference between cultivating and not cultivating?
Right now, he really had no desires. All he wanted was to enjoy life and play around.
Yuan Hong said with a smile, “If you don’t want to eat, what right does Yun Xiao have to eat?”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Yang Jian and said softly, “A few days ago at the banquet, the meaning in the Jade Emperor’s words seemed to be to confer you the title of emperor of the northwest star domain! This are some official documents he sent during the discussion in the main hall that day. Take a look.”
Yuan Hong was still meticulous and had long prepared them for Yang Jian.
He took it out from his bosom and handed them to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian rolled his eyes and said, “I’m not looking. I’m not going to be that emperor. Whoever he wants to look for, I’ll just obediently guard my stall. I’m not going anywhere.”
Now that some matters were handled by Yuan Hong and his subordinates, Yang Jian was very relaxed.
Why would he make himself uncomfortable?
Yuan Hong wanted to persuade him again!
He went to hear a report from someone outside the door. “Reporting to the Divine Lord, Heavenly King Li Jing requests to see you.”
Yang Jian laughed out loud. “Quickly invite him in.”
Not long after, Li Jing entered. When he saw Yang Jian, they greeted each other. Li Jing said, “Yang Jian, the Heavenly Court has been very lively recently.”
When Yang Jian heard this, he frowned.
“Heavenly King Li, speak your mind!”
Li Jing sighed. “Didn’t His Majesty anoint Yun Xiao as Empress Chongxi a few days ago?”
“I’ve heard of her.”
“Those heavenly troops and generals nowadays are all restless. They are all thinking about whether or not they can get a position. As you know, the current situation of our Heavenly Court is that no matter who it is, it is difficult to raise their status. Furthermore, there are few incense offerings and merit points. Without a divine seat, it is difficult to obtain it,” Li Jing began to ramble on. Yang Jian frowned when he heard that.
He interrupted, “What do you mean?”
Li Jing knew his character and immediately said, “It’s like this now. Yun Xiao’s matter is not just her matter. It’s the entire Jie sect that has changed in His Majesty’s heart. His Majesty wants to put people from Jieism in an important position.”
“And then?” Yang Jian asked casually. He did not care about these things and did not beat around the bush.
“There are only so many merit incense sticks. If we place the Jie sect in an important position, we will have to relinquish power. Once Yun Xiao leaves, we will be able to rule the land. The merit incense sticks in our hands will probably be split. The status of the Jie people in Heaven will definitely change. It’s not that you don’t know how strong those people are. If they are placed in an important position, we will definitely be restricted in the future. In particular, many of these people have a grudge against us. Moreover, even now, many of my generals and soldiers have lost their morale. There are even people who have gone to look for Yun Xiao to surrender. Back then, thanks to the care of the Chanism disciples, I obtained the position of Heavenly King. Our relationship is also very close. We should be on the same page! Yun Xiao and the other disciples of Jieism are our archenemies. Many of them have died at our hands. If they were to take power in the future, would they make things difficult for us? We have to consider this. And from what I heard from His Majesty, it seems that he has the intention of making you the emperor. I feel that if His Majesty asks, you must not decline! If you decline, His Majesty may be dissatisfied with the Chanism sect and it will not be good for everyone,” Li Jing said sincerely.
