#3679 - Twenty-two Quasi-Saints
After Qin Yi left the Chan Sect with his heavenly soldiers and generals, countless Chan Sect disciples felt the dark clouds above their heads dissipate in an instant.
At that moment, they could instantly understand why the Western Sect had acted the way it did before.
It wasn't that the Western Sect disciples couldn't hold their breath.
The key was that anyone who encountered an existence like the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation bringing such pressure wouldn't be able to hold their breath.
In comparison, the reactions of those Western Sect guys seemed very normal now.
"Phew, thank goodness, this guy finally left! If he hadn't left, I would have had to find a way to travel around the Great Desolation. Do you know what kind of anxious state I've been in all this time? The pressure brought by the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation is definitely beyond your imagination."
"Aren't you talking nonsense! We've all been inside the Chan Sect, from the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation to its departure. How could we not imagine the pressure this guy brought? I have to say, compared to the Heavenly Court, our Chan Sect really doesn't have much prestige. I also want to go to the Heavenly Court."
"You can't talk nonsense. What's so good about the Heavenly Court? Back during the Investiture of the Gods, the Heavenly Court begged our Chan Sect disciples to go, and we all refused. Now that the Investiture of the Gods has been over for who knows how many years, you guys are thinking about going to the Heavenly Court. Isn't that just crazy?"
"You don't understand. The current situation just shows that times have changed. Which sage force is currently the most popular and always at the forefront in the Great Desolation? Is it our Chan Sect? Of course not. Everyone knows it's the Heavenly Court, so is there anything wrong with my idea?"...
Many Chan Sect disciples knew that such thoughts were only for them to think about in their hearts.
They were already Chan Sect disciples.
It was naturally impossible to defect to the Heavenly Court.
It wasn't like it was the Investiture of the Gods anymore.
During the Investiture of the Gods, the Heavenly Court happened to be short of manpower.
In addition, the other sage forces didn't respect the Heavenly Court very much.
This led to the accelerated birth of the Investiture of the Gods.
Now that the Heavenly Court was strong and well-equipped, it naturally didn't lack one or two experts.
It would be unwise to completely offend the Chan Sect for the sake of other experts.
The Heavenly Court could launch a large-scale internal purge of the Chan Sect in dealing with the Chaos God Race.
But it couldn't poach people in other matters.
The former made the Chan Sect furious, but they also knew what was going on.
Everyone wasn't stupid, and everyone understood the twists and turns.
Once the Chaos God Race really invaded the Great Desolation, things would definitely be more than just this simple.
If the latter was really done, the Heavenly Court's image would plummet instantly.
Maybe it would even get a chance to be ganged up on by other sage forces.
So it absolutely couldn't be done. In the eyes of all living beings in the Great Desolation, this was taking advantage of the name of dealing with the Chaos God Race to enrich oneself.
The reason why the Heavenly Court now had such high prestige in the Great Desolation was precisely because of this.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
Everyone understood this principle...
After Qin Yi led the heavenly soldiers and generals back to the Heavenly Court, he let them disperse.
These heavenly soldiers and generals who had followed Qin Yi on a tour were still a little dazed.
They originally thought that the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation would give them a chance to show themselves when they went to the Western Sect and Chan Sect.
Who would have thought that the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation would just take them on a tour.
Then... they were like decorations and came back.
"Alas, I originally thought I could make an impression in front of the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation, so that we would be remembered for good things in the future. As a result, we just followed the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation the whole time, and nothing happened. Or rather, everything that happened was borne by the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation alone."
"What can we do? Our cultivation is too limited. The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation doesn't care about Quasi-Saints and can even attack them casually. Can we do that? In front of Quasi-Saints, we are just slightly larger ants."
"Alright, now that we've returned, there's no need to continue regretting it. Let's go report back to Marshal Li Jing. This time, I know that Marshal Li Jing originally wanted to follow the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation, but no matter how much he pleaded, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation ignored him."
"In my opinion, Marshal Li Jing was just too late to figure things out. If he had figured things out earlier, he wouldn't be in such an awkward position in the Heavenly Court today. As the Grand Marshal of the Army, he is indeed much stronger than us, but he also lives a very aggrieved life every day. Great figures also have their own troubles."
...Did Li Jing have many troubles? That goes without saying.
The position of Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court was already very, very high.
Logically speaking, such a position should be a confidant of the Heavenly Emperor.
In reality, Li Jing knew very well that Haotian only half trusted him.
What was half trust? That was, he would be told everything, but not everything would be entrusted to him.
People like Taibai Jinxing were the real confidants.
Since Qin Yi handed over the management of the Heavenly Court to Taibai Jinxing in another form, Li Jing felt like he had swallowed a fly every time he saw Taibai Jinxing's smiling face.
Moreover, Taibai Jinxing's status was much higher than his.
If he really offended such a popular figure around Haotian, he would be in trouble if he casually said a few 'nice' words about him in front of Haotian in the future.
He didn't get complete trust from Haotian, and Nezha always opposed him every now and then...
Also, if Li Jing were to describe his situation, it would be very awkward and difficult.
When he heard these heavenly soldiers and generals who had followed the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation back recount the whole process, he felt a little helpless.
Look, this was his terrible situation.
He didn't even have the opportunity to be a background board for the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation.
He had almost worn out his lips before, but the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation only said one sentence.
'Marshal Li Jing, you have other important things to do, so I won't bother you with this matter.'
Listen! What polite words, and how harsh.
What did he mean by having important things to do?
Now that the Great Desolation was calm everywhere, he, the Grand Marshal of the Army, was idle all day...
Could it be that being idle was also an important matter? Wasn't this just simply trying to perfunctory him?
Perhaps to make him understand, he especially used his position to remind him.
