Chapter 1152

Ji Mengchen was sitting in the yard. She was wearing a casual dress and her hair was tied up in a simple bun.

At first glance, she was even more beautiful than the young female disciples around her. She had fair skin and an extraordinary temperament.

She seemed to be playing chess with her disciples when Gu Chen arrived. She was holding a black chess piece in her hand. She gestured to Gu Chen.

"Overlord, please take a seat."

The female disciples of Ling Long Celestial Palace in the yard hurried to give up their seats and make tea. Gu Chen sat opposite Ji Mengchen.

Shang Wenjie, the female disciple who had opened the door, stood behind Ji Mengchen. She stole glances at Gu Chen from time to time.

"Do we know each other?"

Gu Chen glanced at the female disciple with a smile.

"I was lucky enough to see you pass by the Flower Sea Plain."

Shang Wenjie lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Chen. She answered honestly.

"I see."

Gu Chen nodded. He had been to the Flower Sea Plain. The first time he passed by, the Ling Long Celestial Palace and the Fallen Flowers Divine Sect were fighting. The Star Road was congested.

This female disciple must have seen him by chance. That was why she was surprised.

A cup of hot tea appeared on the table while Gu Chen was asking questions. He picked it up and took a sip.

"Overlord, you must be very busy every day. You must be very tired."

Ji Mengchen spoke first. Her words were full of sarcasm.

They had been in the Fairy Lady Palace for many days. Gu Chen had only met them today. It seemed to everyone that he had neglected them.

"To tell you the truth, I wasn't in the Fairy Lady Palace for a few days. Palace Mistress Ji, sorry to keep you waiting."

Gu Chen answered honestly.

"Understandable. After all, the Celestial Court is suffering from internal and external problems." Ji Mengchen nodded.

"Why would the Celestial Court be suffering?"

Gu Chen could not help but laugh. He knew that Palace Master Ji had begun to play her cards.

Everyone knew the Ling Long Celestial Palace wanted to return to the Fairy Realm. But how they would return, how much power and responsibility they would have after returning, were all things that needed to be discussed.

As the Palace Mistress of Ling Long Celestial Palace, Ji Mengchen naturally had to make plans for her faction.

The worse the Celestial Court's situation was, the more Ling Long Celestial Palace's return would seem like timely help.

"Now, all the major forces have gathered in the Jade Spring Galaxy. On the surface, they say that they are here to fight for the relic, but in truth, they are most likely here for the Celestial Court. Don't tell me the Tyrant doesn't understand this?"

Ji Mengchen's red lips parted slightly. Her voice was extremely melodious.

"Everyone knows that the Celestial Court was once the head of the Celestial World. If the Celestial World Ruins were to appear, they would naturally not allow others to touch it."

"Under the leadership of the Tyrant, the Celestial Court has become powerful once again. Coupled with the return of the Underworld and the Heart Ape Clan, you're now at the peak of your power. Any force that wants to lay their hands on the Celestial Realm Relic will not be spared."

"Therefore, when the ruins of the Jade Spring Galaxy appear on a large scale, all parties will definitely join hands in order to obtain the benefits. The Celestial Court seems to be flourishing, but it is besieged on all sides. "

Ji Mengchen's words made Gu Chen gasp in admiration. She was indeed an overlord of a region. What she said was very good.

"What Palace Mistress Ji said does make sense. But does the Celestial World belong to the Celestial Court alone? Immortal Empress Ling Long participated in the creation of the Celestial World. If the relic is taken away by outsiders, will you be able to face your ancestors? "

"The Celestial World belongs to all the forces that used to belong to the Celestial World. Hence, the Celestial Court is not alone at the moment. All the forces that used to belong to the Celestial World are our allies."

With a few words, Gu Chen pulled Ling Long Celestial Palace and all the forces of the Celestial World onto the same boat. He meant that they should not use the relic's appearance as a bargaining chip. This was the responsibility of all the forces of the Celestial World.

Ji Mengchen understood what Gu Chen meant. She shook her head.

"What the Tyrant said does make sense. But for the past million years, the forces of the Celestial World have always been acting on their own. Their relationship with the Celestial World has long been thin."

"Although the return of the Underworld and the Heart Ape Clan is an incentive, in fact, more people are watching from the sidelines. There is even a portion of people who might pretend to agree but oppose them for their own benefits."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the Ascension Sect."

"In the past two years, an exceptional genius, Zuo Chunqiu, appeared in the Ascension Sect. He possesses the Great Development Immortal Body, ranked eleventh on the Allheaven Physique List. Ever since he appeared, he has led the Ascension Sect in great strife. Now, he has made a name for himself."

"A person like him is not someone who is willing to be under others. It won't be easy for the Ascension Sect to return to the Celestial World."

Hearing Ji Mengchen mention Zuo Chunqiu, Gu Chen was not surprised in the slightest.

He said casually, "Just like Ling Long Celestial Palace, the Ascension Sect has contacted our Celestial Court."

"They have only contacted us. Did they express their stance? Did the Ascension Sect's Sectmaster Yan Nantian or the genius Zuo Chunqiu personally come to the Celestial Court? "

Ji Mengchen shook her head.

"Judging from Palace Mistress Ji's tone, you seem to know some inside information?"

Gu Chen's gaze flickered as he asked.

"I've heard that Zuo Chunqiu is secretly in contact with some geniuses from the Outer Realm. He has also come in contact with the powers of the Divine Realm."

Ji Mengchen's words were astonishing.

"Oh?" Gu Chen's gaze turned serious.

"Zuo Chunqiu's origin is a mystery. No one knows about his past. After he joined the Ascension Sect, his methods became extremely radical. He is completely different from the Old Sectmaster Yan Nantian. "

"Perhaps Yan Nantian saw his potential, but decided to ignore him. As a result, the Ascension Sect is practically led by Zuo Chunqiu."

"That person is extremely ambitious. He is completely unfathomable. I have only met him once, but he has already left a deep impression on me."

Gu Chen listened earnestly, as if he was digesting everything Ji Mengchen said.

"The reason why I used Zuo Chunqiu as an example is to tell Overlord that the current situation of the Celestial Court is not as good as you imagine it to be. Rebuilding the Celestial World is a long and arduous task."

"Overlord, you are, after all, too young. You must advance step by step. Otherwise, what happened to Yin He might happen again."

As Ji Mengchen spoke, a complicated look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She was present when the Desolate Emperor died. His death made her heart ache.

After all, the Desolate Immortal was a benefactor to her Ji Clan, yet she was unable to save him.

She believed that Gu Chen felt the same way. On that day, he had tried to reverse the situation without regard for his own safety. However, in the end, he had underestimated the number of enemies, which led to a tragedy.

"Palace Mistress Ji, you still haven't mentioned the proper matter."

When the Desolate Emperor was mentioned, Gu Chen's mood became heavy. He didn't want to beat around the bush.

"What conditions does Ling Long Celestial Palace want in order to return to the Celestial World?"

Ji Mengchen analyzed the current situation of the Celestial Court and told him who the enemies might be. She only wanted to explain the significance of Ling Long Celestial Palace's return to the Celestial World to the Celestial Court.

It was understandable that she wanted to fight for the sect's benefits. However, Gu Chen was displeased that Ji Mengchen brought up the Desolate Emperor.

"First, after Ling Long Celestial Palace returns to the Celestial World, its treatment cannot be any worse than that of the Heart Ape Clan and the Nether World."

Ji Mengchen detected the change in Gu Chen's mood and said straightforwardly.

Everyone knew that the Heart Ape Clan was the first to support the Overlord. As such, they had a high status in the Celestial Court.
