Although Fang Jian and others were very shocked by the news, the gods in the Lingxiao Palace were not surprised. It was obvious that they had known about it for a long time.
Such a big matter must not have been proposed on a whim, but after a long period of careful consideration, and it must have been discussed more than once in the Lingxiao Palace.
Today, it was formally proposed at the Lingxiao Palace meeting. It is just that the big bosses have already discussed it, and now it is just a process.
So just after Lord Doumu Yuanjun finished his report, the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors immediately stood up and worshiped the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord: "The Great Heavenly Lord has great merits and virtues, and everyone has returned to them. Now the Taoist sect is returned to the heaven, and it is manifesting the virtues of heaven, and bringing order to all souls." Rejoice together, and all the people rejoice together.”
Then the five great emperors bowed and congratulated the Jade Emperor one after another. As the five great emperors bowed and congratulated, all the heavenly gods in the hall also immediately saluted and congratulated, Fang Jian and others were no exception.
The Jade Emperor, with a smile on his face, said to the Five Emperors and the gods: "Everyone, please be equal."
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord." The gods thanked him respectfully, and then stood up straight.
At this time, the Great Heavenly Lord of the Jade Emperor said to Doumu Yuanjun: "My Taoist friends have told me that the Taoist saints and immortals are truly willing to return to heaven. This is a matter of great benefit to all sentient beings in the three realms. I should play it accurately."
Upon hearing this, Lord Doumu Yuan immediately bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "My lord, I would like to thank the Jade Emperor."
Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi, Jinling Holy Mother, Yunxiao Queen, Lishan Laomu, Qiongxiao Queen, Bixiao Queen, Wudang Holy Mother, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Chisongzi, Guangchengzi, Yunzhongzi and other Daoist disciples They all bowed their heads and said, "Thank you, Jade Emperor."
The Jade Emperor said: "Stand flat."
After all the great Luopings died, the Jade Emperor Tianzun said again: "The saints will each have their own imperial titles. From now on, they will abide by the law of heaven, educate all living beings, secure the three realms internally, and reject evil spirits externally. The Taoist sect will be returned to heaven, and the imperial edict will be issued after the court meeting. The decree is announced to the three realms."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist disciples bowed and worshiped again: "I sincerely obey the decree of the Jade Emperor."
Then the Taoist disciples returned to Qingyun and sat down cross-legged. It was easy to say that the Taoist sect returned to heaven, but there were still many details to discuss in the specific implementation.
It's just a process right now, so there's no rush to discuss it.
Then the Jade Emperor called out the Qinghua Emperor of the East and issued an order: "The Taixuan Capital Province should promote the Taoist Immortal Zhenzhen to the heaven as an official.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qinghua of Dongji immediately sang: "I will obey the decree of the law."
Next, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord ordered Taibai Jinxing to issue an edict again, and this time Fang Jian understood the content of the edict. The Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord was going to redefine the official rank of the gods in heaven!
As Taibai Jinxing read out, the official hierarchy structure of the Heavenly Court above the edict was also announced to everyone in the palace.
From top to bottom, the top-level structures of the new official hierarchy in Heaven are:
The Great Emperor of the Five Yus, the Great Emperor of the Liangyi, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao, the Great Emperor of the Five Mountains, the Great Emperor of the Three Officials, the Thunder Emperor of the Five Directions, and the Great Emperor of the Yins.
From front to back, the above are those with the highest rank and the most respected position in the heaven below the Jade Emperor. The higher the rank goes, the higher the rank. The Five Emperors are still second only to the Jade Emperor.
Next are the gods and immortals below the Emperor of Heaven. Their rank from front to back is:…
Fu Tianjun, Six Grand Marshals, Four Heavenly Masters, Divine Lord of the Four Directions, Holy Master, Zhou Tianxing Lord, Three Heavenly Spirit Gods, Thirty-six Heavenly Lord Gods, Four Levels of Merit, Four Seas Gods, Four Duyuan Kings, and the Center Tianguan, the central general.
Finally, there is a "Ten Directions Heavenly General", but the first-grade immortal official is not a super-grade one. It is only placed here to distinguish it from the central heavenly general.
The Heavenly Lord of Xitian Mansion that Fang Jian serves at the moment is at the level of 'Thirty-six Heavenly Lords', and as for Tang Yu, who is the capture and killing general, he is at the level of 'Heavenly General of the Ten Directions'.
The above are the divisions of super-grade immortal officials. There is no division below super-grade immortal officials, but they are still divided according to the first to ninth grades.
The reason why the grades need to be reclassified is because the division of grades above the super-grade immortal official was not clear in the past. For example, Nezha is a super-grade immortal official, but the Five Imperial Emperors are also classified as super-grade immortal officials, which is very confusing.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor and Heavenly Lord designated the grades above the Super Grade Immortal Official just to have a clear division.
After announcing the reclassified grades, the Jade Emperor Heavenly Lord said to the Qinghua Emperor of the East: "It is now announced that I will be granted the official priesthood of Immortal Qing after graduating from Dongji Temple."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji immediately came out and bowed and said: "I will obey the law."
Then Emperor Qinghua of Dongji stood on the top of Qingxiao and shouted towards the hall below: "Counsellor Renhua comes forward to listen to the seal."
Upon hearing this, Master Ren Hua immediately took a step forward, turned around and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Ren Hua, accepts the title."
Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole preached: "The way of heaven is clear, and the Jade Emperor is kind to me. Now there is an Immortal Minister named Ren Hua who has graduated from the Dongshen Hall. He diligently cultivates the Dharma and ranks first in the examination. He has also served as an Immortal Official for 400,000 years. He has made outstanding merits and spread his virtues to the people." , His merits have been shown in the three realms, and now I am specially entrusted with the rank of Jin, appointed as the 'Knowing Taixuan Capital Envoy' of Taixuan Province, and ranked among the thirty-six heavenly masters. I am bestowed with a jade wat, and I am promoted to reward you with bows, just like the law and order!"
Master Ren Hua was stunned when he heard the imperial edict for him. He raised his head in disbelief and glanced at Emperor Qinghua of the East Ji, "Know Taixuan Capital Province Envoy", this is Taixuan Capital Province Wenlin The top leader of the Immortal Officials, oversees all Wenlin Immortal Officials below the Super Grade level in Taixuan Capital Province and Heavenly Court.
And this position seems to be the priesthood of 'Wen Shi Zhenren Yin Xi' now. But since he was appointed as the provincial envoy of Zhi Taixuan Capital, it means that Yin Xi, the real person of Wenshi, will also be promoted. This may not have anything to do with the return of the Taoist sect to heaven.
"No thanks." Emperor Qinghua of Dongji said.
Master Ren Hua could not have imagined that he would receive such a high grade as the Thirty-six Heavenly Lords just after he left the Dongshen Hall, just because he won first place in the graduation examination of the Dongshen Hall.
"Your Majesty, I know that Ren Hua, the envoy of Taixuan Capital Province, would like to thank the Jade Emperor and the great envoy." Ren Hua, the real person, reacted to the reminder from Emperor Qinghua of the East Ji and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
Then a fairy descended from the sky, holding a jade plate and landed in front of Ren Hua. Ren Hua looked into the jade plate and saw a snow-white jade tablet placed in the middle of the jade plate, with bright spirits shining on it. The fairy light of Tsinghua University.
Master Ren Hua took a deep breath, then reached out and took out the jade tablet from the jade plate, and then held it upright in his hand.
This jade wat is the pass for Lingxiao Palace. Unless Lingxiao Palace clearly announces that there will be no court meeting today, he will go to Lingxiao Palace every day to participate in the court meeting. …
At the same time, he can come to the Lingxiao Palace to meet the Jade Emperor and the Five Emperors at any time in the future. This is the treatment of a super-grade immortal official.
Master Ren Hua, holding the jade tablet, did not return to where Fang Jian and others were standing, but instead stepped into the immortal class of the thirty-six gods.
After Master Ren Hua was awarded the title, the remaining ten people were followed, and Emperor Qinghua of the East Ji began to grant the title one by one.
However, Shi Ling, Shao Yuan, Lu Bisheng, Hai Yunwei, Qi Yan, Fu Zhenqing, Zhou Tailing, Wan Xu, and Dao Chen did not obtain as high a grade as Zhenren Ren Hua.
Shi Ling, Shao Yuan, Lu Bisheng, Hai Yunwei, Qi Yan, and Fu Zhenqing were named the "Central Heavenly Generals", Zhou Yaoling was named the "Shang Shu of the Palm Star Hall", and Wan Xu was named the "Shang Shu of the Han De Hall". Dao Xun was named the "Shang Shu of Pixiang Palace" and ranked among the immortal class of "Central Tianguan".
And they did not go back to their original positions, but after thanking them, they entered the ranks of the Immortal Class where their level was. So at the end, it’s Fang Jian.
Fang Jian is currently the Heavenly Lord of Xitianfu, and the Heavenly Lord of Xitianfu is among the ranks of the Thirty-six Heavenly Lords, so it is impossible for him to be sealed lower than this.
"In accordance with the law of heaven, to govern all spirits, the Golden Tower and Jade Emperor of Haotian, the Great Heavenly Lord, decrees: Fang Jian, the pillar of heaven, has made outstanding achievements. He has served as the Minister of the West Tianfu and the Lord of Heaven for ten and three years. He has made great achievements and I love him very much. Now I grant him the title of Jin. Pin, served as the chief director of Taixuan Province, the martial arts director of Tianshu Province, and the Tianjun of Xiniu Hezhou Tianjun Mansion, just like the law!"
As Emperor Qinghua of Dongji finished reading, the immortal officials in the hall immediately looked towards Fang Jian. Even though Ren Hua and others had expected that Fang Jian's promotion would not be too low this time, they were still very surprised and surprised. .
Although these positions of Fang Jian are still among the thirty-six gods, he holds three positions by himself, and each one is a position of great authority.
The first one is the Grand Director of Taixuan Capital Province. If Ren Hua Zhenren's "Zhi Taixuan Capital Province Envoy" is in charge of all the Wenlin Immortal Officials, then Fang Jian, the "Great Director of Taixuan Capital Province" is in charge of all the Wulin Immortal Officials. Officials have real 'military power'.
Secondly, there is the Wulin Commander of Tianshu Province, which is in conjunction with the position of "Grand Director of Taixuandu Province", which means that Fang Jian has extremely powerful authority in Taixuandu Province and Tianshu Province.
The last one is the Heavenly Lord of Xitianfu, which is equivalent to the position of "a prince" and holds all the power of Xiniu Hezhou.
Fang Jian now holds these three priestly positions, which is equivalent to him having military power in the center of the heaven, and also being a prince in one side. He is in charge of all the power in a tribe and continent. It can be said that he has real power and a lot of troops.
"Your Majesty Fang Jian, I would like to thank the Jade Emperor and the Great Envoy." Fang Jian held the jade wat in his hand and bowed in thanks.
The Great Jade Emperor smiled and said softly: "Fang Jian, don't let me down with this promotion."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "I will do my best to help the people of the three realms escape from the sea of suffering forever, in order to repay the great heavenly master."
"Yes." The Jade Emperor nodded, and then said: "Let's join the Immortal Class."
"I obey the decree of the law." Fang Jian bowed before him, and then stepped into the ranks of the thirty-six gods.
It's not just becoming an Immortal Official or picking the True Immortal Dao Fruit that makes you a member of the Immortal Class. If you want to be a member of the Immortal Class, you must at least "take your place in court" at the Lingxiao Palace. This is called being ranked in the Immortal Class.
Otherwise, it can only be called 'achieving the Tao and becoming an immortal' or 'cultivating the right fruit'.
Today, he finally ranks in the Immortal Class and officially becomes a part of the 'big brother' that he originally called him.
At this moment, Fang Jian is holding the jade wat in his hands, holding his head high and chest high, looking energetic and high-spirited!
