「Beyond the Heavens, in the Void Sea of Light.」
After much thought, Emperor Jia You gave his reply:
"Daoist, your strength is quite impressive. If you are truly willing to pledge allegiance with the [Fruit of Celestial Fire], I can agree to both of your conditions on my own authority."
Evidently, Emperor Jia You believed he had seen through Lü Yang's intentions.
'Since he wants to affiliate his [Fruit of Post-Road Earth], it seems he has no intention of completely abandoning his [Fruit of Celestial Fire]. He might even want to use this to break through to the Late Stage of Golden Core.'
'In that case, he plans to bring his [Fruit of Celestial Fire] and pledge allegiance directly to my Dao Court. This is actually a good thing. This way, he's bound to offend the Stain Sect, and he's already angered the Sword Pavilion. No one in the Pure Land would want him. By then, he'll be an isolated official in the Dao Court, and I'll be able to control him with ease...'
