Heavenly Court, Daluotian, Lingxiao Palace.
Today is the small court meeting. The four emperors of Lingxiao are dressed in imperial robes, with the True Sword of Destiny hanging from their waists, standing on the throne.
Since the Jade Emperor delegated authority, the great emperors have stopped going to court. Since the last great court meeting, all court meetings have been presided over by the four emperors of Lingxiao.
After the ministers and immortal officials had finished their court meeting and returned to the immortal class, Fang Jian said: "Today's meeting, there are three things to be announced. First, the heavenly immortal system will be re-divided into five levels, namely: Great Emperor, Emperor, Gods, righteous gods, and immortal officials.”
"The first level of the Great Emperor, including the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors and the Great Emperor of the Liangyi, is the most noble level below the Great Heavenly Lord."
"The first level of emperors includes the four emperors of Lingxiao, the emperor of Shenxiao, the emperor of the five mountains, the emperor of the three officials, and the emperor of the Yinsi, etc., are all in this level."
"There will be no divisions between the Heavenly God and Righteous God ranks for the time being. Everyone under the current emperor will be temporarily classified into the ranks of Immortal Officials. We will make adjustments when the time is right."
When the immortal officials in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but be confused. To put it simply, they didn't understand.
However, Fang Jian doesn't plan to go into details now. The two levels of God and Zhengshen need to wait until he gets the God List before he can complete the division. It doesn't make any sense to talk about it now.
Moreover, the three levels of the Immortal Official System, Super Grade, Eighth Grade, and Nine Grade, have not been officially cancelled, because now that they are cancelled, there will be no other arrangements, and the Immortal Official System will be in chaos.
Seeing the half-understanding looks in the eyes of the immortal officials below, Fang Jian said calmly: "I just told you about this in advance and divided the five-level system first. You will know the specific details in the future."
When the immortal officials heard this, they immediately bowed and said: "I sincerely obey the decree of Emperor Hongqing."
Then Fang Jian asked Emperor Beiyin Fengdu: "Fellow Taoist Fengdu, how do you arrange reincarnation for your soul during the calamity?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin immediately bowed and said: "To the Emperor Hongqing, Lord Yama of the Ten Palaces has reported to me that the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court will be reincarnated first, followed by the immortals and loose immortals, and finally the souls of all living beings." .”
After hearing this, Fang Jian immediately said: "Tell Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace to reverse this order."
Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin was slightly startled, then bowed his head and said: "Emperor Hongqing is compassionate, and I will obey the decree of Emperor Hongqing."
Then Fang Jian looked above the Five Elders of the Five Directions, and saw an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, a purple gold crown on his head, holding a fly whisk, swaying and dozing above the Five Elders of the Five Directions.
So Fang Jian asked Sun Wukong: "The Divine Thunder Chief Photographs the Emperor, in the court meeting in Lingxiao Palace, what should be the punishment if someone falls asleep?"
Sun Wukong glanced at the old Taoist, and then said: "This is a crime of disrespect in front of the temple. He should be punished by giving a sixth-grade golden elixir to every Taoist friend in the temple."
Hearing this, all the immortal officials in the Lingxiao Hall immediately widened their eyes. Taishang Laojun has a unique "Nine-grade Golden Pill", among which the sixth-grade Golden Pill is the Yuan Shen Golden Pill. After taking it, you can achieve perfection. Immediately comprehend a magical power, which is very precious.
And that old Taoist who 'dozed off' was none other than Taishang Laojun.
The immortal officials in the Lingxiao Palace immediately looked at Taishang Laojun. In fact, he was not really dozing off. In this case, it was most likely that he was wandering.
At this time, Taishang Laojun suddenly shuddered and woke up suddenly. Then he opened his eyes and saw everyone in the hall looking at him, especially Fang Jian, with extremely unkind eyes.
Taishang Laojun quickly slapped his head and said: "Old Taoist has just been wandering in the world. I am rude and disrespectful. Please forgive me, the four emperors of Lingxiao."
Fang Jian said calmly: "The old gentleman is serious. It is not a serious crime to wander around in the Lingxiao Palace. As long as the old gentleman replenishes the golden elixir in the future, it will be fine."
"Ah? Golden elixir? What golden elixir?" Taishang Laojun said blankly.
At this time, Kunpeng below said: "Old Lord, you are wandering in the sky above the Lingxiao Palace. It is very rude. The Four Emperors of Lingxiao punish you to compensate all the gods in the Lingxiao Palace with a sixth-grade golden elixir."
"Ah!!!" Taishang Laojun exclaimed and said, "I'm really going to die!"
Then Taishang Laojun hurriedly said to Fang Jian: "Emperor Hongqing, there is a reason why the old Taoist wandered into the world just now. Emperor Hongqing can punish the old Taoist, but it will be a sixth-grade golden elixir for each person. The old Taoist really can't afford it."
"It doesn't matter." Fang Jian said with a smile: "Laojun, you can make an IOU with all the fellow Taoists, and you can repay it in the future by refining the sixth-grade golden elixir."
"This, this, this" Taishang Laojun's claws suddenly became numb. If there are not ten thousand immortals in the palace, there are eight thousand. Eight thousand sixth-grade golden elixirs will take thousands of years to finish!
"Please be kind to Emperor Hongqing." Taishang Laojun looked helpless. He was originally confident because Fang Jian was already the Emperor of Heaven, so it was impossible for him to secretly sap him again.
But now it seems that Fang Jian, who has become the Four Emperors of Lingxiao, has more ways to retaliate against him.
"Excuse me? You wandered into the sky during the small court meeting in Lingxiao Palace. Where did you leave the emperors and many gods and gods? You must compensate according to this, without any mistakes." After Fang Jian said this, he raised his head and asked the gods and gods below: "Does anyone among you think that Taishang Laojun has extenuating circumstances and does not need to compensate Jin Dan? If so, you can speak boldly, and I will not blame you."
Gods and gods in heaven, look at me and I look at you. For a long time, no one has come out to speak for Taishang Laojun.
It's not that they don't like Taishang Laojun, but no matter how much they like Taishang Laojun, can they have the 'Sixth Grade Golden Pill'? We like Taishang Laojun, but we like the sixth-grade golden elixir even more.
Normally, Taishang Laojun's golden elixir can only be listened to but not received. Now he can extort money with Emperor Hongqing. Can we object? No way.
Zhou Tianxingjun, on the other hand, shared the same hatred and glanced at the immortals in the palace. They wanted to see who could help Taishang Laojun speak out, and they would definitely let him experience the power of Zhou Tianxingjun.
In the end, no one came out to speak for Taishang Laojun. Taishang Laojun's old face was pale, his heart was despairing, and he looked at Fang Jian with a look of resentment.
Fang Jian smiled lightly and said, "Remember to give everyone IOUs after I go to court."
Taishang Laojun said full of resentment: "It's okay to pay the IOU, but there are so many sixth-grade golden elixirs that can't be refined in a million years."
Fang Jian smiled and said: "It must be paid off within three thousand years, otherwise the amount of pills owed will increase tenfold every one thousand years."
Taishang Laojun glared and said, "Are you a loan shark?"
Fang Jian said calmly: "Is this called usury? This is called treating old people."
"The poor Taoist goes to the Chaos Dojo and will never enter this world." Taishang Laojun said.
Fang Jian said: "Master's debt has been repaid, and there are still Taoist disciples in this world."
"You, you, you." Taishang Laojun was so angry that he was trembling all over. The whisk in his hand shook like a wicker in the spring breeze, pointing at Fang Jian.
But then, Taishang Laojun's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to smile and said: "Hahaha, I was just joking. In fact, I have long wanted to distribute golden elixirs to you fellow Taoists to comfort them for assisting the Great Heavenly Lord to stabilize the Three Realms. Credit. I just took this opportunity to accomplish this today, hahaha!"
The immortals and gods in the main hall looked at each other in astonishment as they listened to Taishang Laojun's gentle laughter.
Nezha even whispered to Sun Wukong: "It seems that Fang Jian's face is not half as thick as others."
Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Yes, he still needs to work harder."
Fang Jian was also a little speechless. As expected of the Supreme Lord, his ability to adapt to changes and his thick skin could not be compared to him.
After laughing, Taishang Laojun stood quietly in the sky again, his face still calm and calm, his eyebrows and eyes kind, but his heart was actually bleeding.
Later, Fang Jian asked Erlang Shen and Nezha: "How is the reward of the heavenly soldiers, generals and many monks who pacified the three realms and eliminated the calamity during the calamity going?"
Erlangshen heard this and said: "It's already underway, but we've encountered some problems."
Fang Jian asked: "What's the problem?"
Erlang Shen looked at Nezha and said, "Emperor Zhenwu, please tell me."
Nezha nodded, and then said: "That's it. At that time, those monks were all incorporated into the heavenly army, including those demon cultivators that you brought out from Beiju Luzhou by Emperor Hongqing. Therefore, it is easy to reward, but difficult to grant. How to block them is a difficult problem.”
There are two concepts. One is 'fealing' and the other is 'reward'. Feng is the title of official, fiefdom and position, and reward is the reward of resources.
After listening to Nezha's report, Fang Jian asked Wude Xingjun, "Wudexingjun, how many heavenly soldiers are there in heaven now?"
Lord Wudexing immediately came out with a jade wat in his hand and said: "To the Emperor Hongqing, the Heavenly Court is currently building a total of 5.6 million Heavenly Soldiers from four armies."
After hearing Lord Wude Xing's report, Fang Jian pondered for a moment, and then said: "Among the heavenly armies that pacified the Three Realms, except for the 5.6 million heavenly armies who returned to heaven and built their own country, all the other monks were repatriated, including me from Beijulu. The demon cultivator brought out by Zhouzhou."
Erlangshen asked: "Then how should we award the reward?"
Fang Jian said: "Instruct Tiangongyuan to refine the 'Tianxun Order' and issue it to these monks. Those who hold this Tianxun Order, if they encounter disaster in the future, can use this order to request heaven's protection three times. As long as it does not violate the rules of heaven, The Heavenly Court can help him survive the disaster, and the Heavenly Order will be withdrawn after three times. As long as this order is left once, it will remain in effect and can be passed on to heirs, clansmen and friends."
Erlang Shen nodded. This was a good idea. It was equivalent to Heaven delaying the reward that was to be cashed in immediately.
"However, rewards still have to be given out." Fang Jian said: "In addition to the Tianxun Order, each person will be rewarded with 10,000 calamity jade. Anyone who dies will be reincarnated first, so that they can enjoy wealth and honor in three lives. If you are destined to be immortal, you can give me a path."
Erlang Shen heard this and immediately said: "Follow the law and decree."
After dealing with the awards, Fang Jian added: "From now on, any immortal who has great merits for the sentient beings in the three realms and is awarded a high position in the heaven will be given a Taoist temple by the heaven."
Speaking of this, Fang Jian said to the Supreme Lord: "Old Lord, the Ten Continents and Three Islands are in charge of the Dongshentang, right?"
Taishang Laojun has now calmed down. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Exactly."
Fang Jian said: "Okay, from now on Dongshentang will no longer be responsible for the teaching and teaching of super-grade immortal officials, and will be responsible for the affairs of ten continents and three islands."
After finishing speaking, Fang Jian asked again: "How many immortal monks are there in the ten continents?"
Taishang Laojun heard this and said: "During the calamity, all the immortal monks from the ten continents survived, but now they have all passed away."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "I have issued an edict that all the immortal monks from the ten continents will move to the four major continents, and each person will be compensated with a cave heaven blessed land for their way. From now on, the ten continents and three islands will be used as dojos for the immortals awarded the honorable title by the heaven. Where. Shenxiao Yufu will handle this matter together with Dongshentang."
Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun both slapped their heads together and said: "I will obey the law."
Immediately afterwards, Fang Jian said to Taibai Jinxing on the side: "Taibai Jinxing, unfold the map of ten continents and three islands in the hall."
Taibai Jinxing respectfully accepted the order, and then unfolded the map of the ten continents and three islands that had been prepared in the sky above the Lingxiao Palace. A total of thirteen maps immediately appeared in front of everyone.
Ten continents: Zuzhou, Yingzhou, Jukuzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou and Fenglinzhou.
Three islands: Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island.
The ten continents and three islands are all on the immeasurable sea. They were formed by the innate chaotic energy that poured in from the chaos after the creation of the world. Each continent and island has immeasurable fairy spirit energy, and the immortal spirits on each continent and island are The spiritual energy is far superior to the four major continents, and it has its own chaos restrictions. Only the authority given by the 'Treasure of Heaven' can open it, so the ten continents and three islands have always been controlled by the heaven.
In the past, the Ten Continents were used as a place for those who cultivated great virtues to be placed by the Heavenly Court, but now that the calamity has passed, those cultivating great virtues were protected by the Chaos Restriction on the Ten Continents and survived the calamity safely, so they should also be moved out of the Ten Continents. It's time.
However, no one has been settled in the Three Islands, and no one has opened a dojo in the Three Islands. It is still the original place when the world was created.
Whether it is heaven, Taoism or Buddhism, many gods and powerful men want to open a mansion on the three islands to practice, but the Jade Emperor has never approved it, so it has been vacant until now.
At this moment, Fang Jian pointed to the map of the three islands and said: "The five old emperors from the five directions can now choose one of the three islands to open or move the dojo."
Hearing this, the five elders of the five directions were suddenly startled. They did not expect that they would be the first people to open a dojo on the three islands.
Thinking of this, the five elders from the five directions immediately came out to express their gratitude and humble words, but Fang Jian said: "The five elders from the five directions led the human race to survive in the ancient times and finally stood in the forest of all races. Their merits are immeasurable, and they should open a dojo on the three islands. . Five fellow Taoists, there is no need to be humble, please make your choice."
After hearing this, the five elders of the five parties were moved and stopped being modest. Finally, after the five elders of the five parties discussed together, they unanimously decided to open a dojo on the Penglai Island.
Fang Jian immediately approved and took out the "Tiandao Treasure Box" and granted the five elders of the five directions the authority to open a dojo on the Penglai Immortal Island. Then, on the immortal official jade certificate of the five elders of the five directions, there was a free way to enter and exit the Penglai Immortal Island. The sigil of the Island Chaos Restriction.
The five elders from all directions bowed to express their thanks, and then returned to the Immortal Class.
Then under the eyes of the people below, Fang Jian said: "In the future, those who can enter the ten continents and three islands to open dojos will be announced at the court meeting."
Everyone was very disappointed when they heard this. It seems that except for the five elders of the five directions, no one will get the authority to open a dojo on the ten continents and three islands today.
At this time, Jiutian Yingyuan's Thunderous Universal Transformation Tianzun, Xuantian Blessed the Holy Emperor Zhenwu, and Taiyi Saved the Suffering Tianzun all walked out of the immortal class. They bowed their heads and said: "I am reporting to the Four Emperors of Lingxiao. I ask you to retreat." , to participate in the mysterious realm."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, I wish the three fellow Taoists will attain Daluo soon. After they come out of seclusion, they will assist the Great Heavenly Lord to stabilize the three realms and save all sentient beings."
Erlang Shen, Nezha, and Sun Wukong all bowed their heads in return, and then also sent their own blessings.
The three of them bowed their heads again and said, "Thank you, the Four Emperors of Lingxiao."
Then the three of them retreated to the Immortal Class. When they see them again next time, they may be Daluo Jinxian.
