Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor smiled.
"Master Tongtian, have you forgotten something?"
"Who's a fool when you have the bearing of a sage?"
"Could it be —"
"Don't I have a backup plan?!"
His tone was sharp. At this moment, he regained his title of "Emperor".
He looked just like an emperor.
Master Tongtian's pupils constricted.
This guy!
Is he going to participate in this scheme?!
This aura —
His mind spun quickly. The situation had changed too quickly.
The Eight Immortals had been subdued. Could it be that the Jade Emperor had seen the tip of the iceberg in the future and wanted to cause trouble?!
Or perhaps —
Was he really going to join Dao Ancestor Ao Qing?!
However, the Jade Emperor was someone who commanded hundreds of thousands and millions of celestial soldiers and generals. He was the Heaven's Chosen One. Before Dao Ancestor Ao Qing appeared, he controlled one of the strongest forces under the Heavenly Dao.
How could such a proud Immortal Emperor lower his proud head and become the subordinate of Dao Ancestor Ao Qing?
Suddenly, he couldn't see the Jade Emperor clearly anymore.
It was as if he, who was no longer bound by the Heavenly Court, had walked the path of darkness and changed his way of doing things.
After thinking for a moment, a warm smile appeared on his face.
It was not the time to clash with the Jade Emperor. The calamity of the Journey to the West was coming. When that time came, it would be the time for all the forces to shine.
"Jade Emperor, please don't be angry."
"It was just a slip of the tongue," he apologized sincerely.
At the same time, a bead appeared in his hand. It shone brightly and flew lightly into the Jade Emperor's hand.
The Jade Emperor retracted his previous majesty. At this moment, he looked just like an ordinary person.
With a wave of his hand, the bead flew back to Master Tongtian's side.
"It's just a conversation. It's not a big deal.
I have no intention of forcing you to give me a gift.
Otherwise, wouldn't our relationship become estranged? "He grinned and waved his sleeve. The wine cup standing on the stone was filled with sake once more.
Master Tongtian was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
"That's right, it's this Sect Master who pays too much attention to these red tape!
Come, let's drink! "
On the surface, the two of them seemed to have stopped probing each other, but only the two of them knew that this matter was far from over.
The Jade Emperor was now scheming in Master Tongtian's mind, making him think that he was a temperamental schemer who would do anything to prepare for the upcoming calamity of the Journey to the West.
Only in this way would he be unable to see his true goal.
The best opportunity could only be created in the midst of chaos.
Perhaps, in the following period of time, he would soon have to gather and talk with people from all walks of life. Under such circumstances, he had to create a different personality from the past.
He wanted to display the true thoughts of an old fox who had lived for several eras.
Only then would it be in line with his next plan.
Only then would the situation become even more powerful.
As for Dao Ancestor Ao Qing …
Hehe, they were all at the Sage Realm. He absolutely believed that Dao Ancestor Ao Qing would definitely have a way to know his plan from a thousand miles away.
The proof of allegiance had been submitted. Next, it would be up to the development!
The Jade Emperor was making a plan. At least for now, Master Tongtian could not see through this former big shot at all.
A second ago, he was aggressive and said "I", the appearance of an emperor.
The next moment, he was like an ordinary expert, raising his hand with a smile and chatting with friends.
A personality that changed at will. This kind of situation was the most difficult to understand and analyze.
At the very least, he had no idea what the Jade Emperor wanted to do.
Was he going to seek refuge with Dao Ancestor Ao Qing?
Or was he going to meet with Heavenly King Da Fen?
Also, what was his purpose in staying at the ends of the earth?
Was he going to observe his behavior?
Or …
Was he going to join forces with him to carry out the plan of the Journey to the West?
What was the Jade Emperor's purpose at this moment?
…
In the mythical world, in an unknown place, the chess pieces on the chessboard were in a mess. It was no longer as tidy as it was before.
The confrontation between the black and white chess pieces had disappeared.
Because at this moment, Taishang Laojun and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were no longer playing chess.
Instead, they were discussing something.
At the same time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's strength had risen from the Sage-to-be level to the Sage Realm.
"This is the Sage Pill that I have spent a lot of effort to condense. This is the only one in the world."
"Although it can't let you have the aura of the Netherworld again, it is a great success to be able to maintain the strength of a Sage."
Looking at the empty porcelain bottle, Taishang Laojun could not help but feel a little distressed.
The price he had paid this time was too high.
He did not know if this plan would work.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, don't embarrass me!
Don't let this Saint's plan fail!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had regained the strength of a Sage, grinned when he heard this voice.
He cupped his fists at Taishang Laojun and said, "I can't thank you enough. This gift is too precious."
After a pause, he waved his hand and suddenly patted his chest.
A drop of red blood slowly floated from his mouth to Taishang Laojun and said, "This is the blood of my heart. Now that you have restored my strength, you are my second parent. I'm sure you know the use of this blood."
"After fusing it with your Dharma treasure, you can make me, a Sage, disappear from the world with just a thought."
"This is my promise to the Grand Supreme Elder!"
Taishang Laojun took a deep look at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
This matter was out of his expectations.
The mythical world was changing and changing every moment.
Therefore, the consequences of every event were different.
Under such circumstances, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had given him the power to decide his life and death.
This thought was too heavy.
Was there a conspiracy behind this?
He didn't know.
However, he knew that the blood of the heart was the absolute thing that could control life and death.
Therefore, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and collected the drop of heart's blood into his Horsetail Whisk. With a flash of brilliance, the heart's blood and the Horsetail Whisk completely merged. In Taishang Laojun's mind, there was a faint feeling of control.
He could feel that the life and death of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was completely in his hands.
This was real!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was not lying!
"In that case …"
"Next, you will live and die with me. When the calamity of the Journey to the West arrives, we will set up a plan together and completely destroy this situation!"
He thought for a moment and finally felt relieved.
Even the person was under his control. What else was there to be worried about?
However, he didn't realize that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was looking at Taishang Laojun with a sneer in his heart.
Mutual deception, this mythological world was just that complicated!
