Yang Jian fell into hesitation.
Haotian saw all of this in his eyes and naturally understood Yang Jian's concerns. Taking a blow from Haotian was out of the question; Haotian was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and could kill Yang Jian with a single strike. However, becoming a god of the Heavenly Court was utterly impossible without the consent of Mount Sumeru's first-generation disciples. Back then, Jiutian Xuannü became a deity in the Heavenly Court only with the approval of the Queen Mother of the West. Therefore, if Yang Jian wanted to be a god in the Heavenly Court, he would need Kongxuan's consent as well. Although Kongxuan was not a first-generation disciple, he was the second-generation chief disciple, holding a status equal to that of the first generation.
"Your Majesty, this puts the Demon Lord in a rather difficult position. For a disciple of Mount Sumeru to serve as a god in the Heavenly Court, it requires the consent of the first-generation Demon Gods. How could Demon Lord Yang Jian possibly make such a decision on his own?"
