Chapter 253 The Jade Emperor's Shock

The Jade Emperor continued, "I thought that with the Conferred God List, those saintly disciples would listen to me obediently."

"The result is, haha, they all work but don't put in any effort, and avoid problems whenever possible. It would be better not to let them be on the list."

The Jade Emperor complained angrily and took another big gulp of wine.

Jia Hu looked at the Jade Emperor, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's very simple, but your strength is not enough."

The Jade Emperor paused while drinking, nodded and said, "Yes, it's all because of my lack of strength. If I were also a saint, would those saint disciples dare to be so presumptuous?"

Then his breath weakened, "Saint, without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, there is no way to achieve sainthood."

Jia Hu raised his eyebrows. "Oh, who said that?"

The Jade Emperor was stunned, "Of course it was said by Daozu."

Jia Hu sneered, "Is what he said true?"

The Jade Emperor was startled, looked around hurriedly, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Jia Hu didn't care. He had already set up restrictions in the Ziwei Palace using the power of heaven, so Hongjun would definitely not be able to detect the situation inside.

Jia Hu chuckled. "Aren't you surprised why Hongjun wanted you to be the Emperor of Heaven? There were so many candidates, why did he choose you?"

The Jade Emperor was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this before. He was just naturally excited that Hongjun valued him.

"Maybe it's because I'm the Taoist child of the Taoist Ancestor, so he takes special care of me." This was the only reason the Jade Emperor could think of.

Jia Hu couldn't help but look at the Jade Emperor strangely. If this was really the Jade Emperor, how could he be so naive?

"If he really wanted to take care of you, shouldn't he have given you the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Even if he didn't give you the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he wouldn't have put you on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. Doesn't he know that the Heavenly Palace is the place with the heaviest cause and effect?"

The Jade Emperor's expression changed. "This may be a test for me."

Jia Hu was somewhat speechless. "Well, after training for so long, how is your cultivation?"

The Jade Emperor's defense was instantly broken when he heard this, and his face turned dark. How was his cultivation level? Because he was restrained by the Heavenly Court, his cultivation level had not improved much, and he was only in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint.

It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it, which was why he lacked confidence when facing Tathagata.

Jia Hu already knew about the Jade Emperor's cultivation, so he asked this question.

Seeing that he was silent, Jia Hu shook his head and said, "The Emperor of Heaven is indeed a good position, but it also requires strength to support it. You have put the cart before the horse. Strength is king."

"You have the blessing of the Heavenly Emperor, so you should work hard on your cultivation. Even if you win over more people, you won't be able to overpower them if you don't have enough strength."

The Jade Emperor was shocked as if struck by lightning. No one had ever told him these words. The Queen Mother and he were both involved in the matter and were not aware of the situation. Even if a saint could see through it, he would not say anything.

After all, they didn't look down on this Taoist boy. As for the others, their status was not as high as that of the Jade Emperor, so they didn't dare to say anything.

Only Jia Hu, who has no reverence for the Jade Emperor, would say this.

The Jade Emperor looked at Jia Hu suddenly, then stood up and bowed solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, Taoist friend."

This bow was made with all his heart, and the Jade Emperor suddenly realized that winning over Jia Hu was the right thing he had done.

Jia Hu did not avoid it, but accepted the greeting. The Jade Emperor sat down again and frowned, "Is the Taoist really plotting against me?"

Obviously he had some doubts.

Jia Hu drank a glass of wine and suddenly asked calmly, "Do you want to... become a saint?"

"What?" The Jade Emperor looked at Jia Hu in shock, almost suspecting that he had drunk too much and was hallucinating. But when he saw Jia Hu's calm face, he inexplicably felt something in his heart, "Of course I want to, do you have a solution?"

He felt both expectant and impossible, and stared at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu looked at the Jade Emperor and said slowly, "In fact, besides becoming a saint, there is another way, which is to attain the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Except that the Yuanshen cannot rely on the Heavenly Dao, everything else is the same as that of a saint."

The Jade Emperor was stunned. He had never heard of any other way to attain enlightenment except through saints.

"Is this true? How...how did you know?" The Jade Emperor asked in disbelief, and then seemed to have thought of something.

He exclaimed, "Have you already attained the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"

This was the only reason he could think of, otherwise how would Jia Hu know.

Jia Hu shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it should be soon."

As for how he knew, of course it was the information that the Tiandao Gu passed to him. Did he really think it swallowed the Tiandao in vain?
The Jade Emperor still believed what Jia Hu said, and looked at Jia Hu excitedly, "Please teach me, fellow Taoist."

Then he felt that it was a bit too much, and quickly said, "Whatever you need, as long as I can do it, it's fine."

Jia Hu raised his eyebrows, "Then you have to think carefully. Hongjun doesn't want you to prove your Dao. Are you ready to face Daozu?"

The Jade Emperor's face changed, his eyes kept flashing, and his heart was surging.

Jia Hu was not in a hurry either. He knew that as long as the Jade Emperor did not want to be a pawn, he would definitely fight against the Taoist Ancestor.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor slowly exhaled, his eyes had become much more determined, "I have made up my mind, I have confirmed this Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and Daozu cannot stop me."

Jia Hu smiled and no longer concealed it. He told the Jade Emperor the method of proving the Tao that the Heavenly Dao had told him.

The Jade Emperor frowned upon hearing this. It was difficult to attain the Great Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos. "The way to attain the Tao is through the laws. Alas, it is indeed difficult to attain the Tao through the laws."

He was a little discouraged, but he still had self-knowledge. He knew that his foundation was not as good as the Three Pure Ones, and his understanding of the laws was not very deep.

Jia Hu looked at the Jade Emperor and shook his head, "Actually, you have another method, and it's more suitable for you."

The Jade Emperor looked at Jia Hu hurriedly, "What's the solution?"

“Have you ever thought about refining the entire Heaven? With the power of Heaven, it can basically be compared to the universe. If you can refine Heaven, it will be easy to achieve the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.” Jia Hu said lightly.

The Jade Emperor was completely dumbfounded. Refining the entire Heaven was too exaggerated. He had never thought about such a thing.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is really possible. Although it looks difficult, it is much faster than working hard to comprehend the laws.

And he has actually already refined a little bit, that is, the Yao Chi and the Ling Xiao Palace have been refined by him, otherwise why ordinary people cannot enter these two places.

The Jade Emperor said firmly, "Okay, then I will refine the Heavenly Palace."

Jia Hu's eyes flashed, "Before that, I'm afraid you have to do one more thing."

"Oh, what's the matter?" The Jade Emperor looked at Jia Hu in confusion.

Jia Hu looked at the Jade Emperor steadily, which made the Jade Emperor feel a little panicked. "Destroy the Investiture of the Gods."

The Jade Emperor opened his mouth wide and stared at Jia Hu in astonishment. This sentence was more powerful than any of the previous ones.

The Jade Emperor even suspected that Jia Hu was a member of the three religions and came to destroy the List of Gods on purpose.
