Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
The Luotian Great Court is the highest level court meeting in heaven. Not only are there many people, but also those who participate in the Luotian Great Court must have the "two highs", that is, high moral conduct and high honor.
Those in the Heavenly Court who participate in the Luotian Great Court Meeting must have the Heavenly Court fruition status and be above the Golden Immortal. That is to say, those within the Heavenly Court who are qualified to participate in the Luotian Great Court Conference must be those with the Heavenly Court fruition status or the immortals who are above the Golden Immortal path.
The same is true for Taoism and Buddhism. One must have the fruition status, or be a person with the Golden Immortal Taoism or above.
Even the Vajra Indestructible Buddha, Luya Daojun and Tangyu who had just pacified the Immortal Court came back, and the King Tota who had left to suppress the Hunyi Heavens also received the edict and returned to the Heavenly Court.
As for True Lord Juxia and True Lord Youhong of Youtian World, as well as Yuan Qishuang of Yuling Sect, although they have all been granted heavenly status, they were not notified to participate in this Luotian Great Court meeting.
It's very simple. The affairs of the Luo Tian Dynasty meeting this time are extremely important and need to be kept highly confidential. They are still among the 'recruiting people', so they must not be allowed to participate.
Therefore, although the number of people in this Luotian Grand Court meeting was large and the Taoism was extremely high, it was mainly attended by Taoists, Buddhists, and Demonic Sects.
As for the Demon Sect, there is something to be said for that. Those real demons will certainly not be able to attend the Luotian Great Court Meeting. Therefore, the only people from the Demon Sect who will attend the Great Court Meeting are the Headmaster Chixiao Demon Lord, Ancestor Minghe, Dali Luo Demon, and Dafa Luo. Demons and other high-level officials of the Demon Cult.
The gods and immortals from Heaven, Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonic Sects are arranged into classes according to their fruition status and divine position. They hold jade tablets in their hands and stand bowed.
The Jade Emperor sits high in the sky, the Four Imperial Emperors and the Liangyi Emperors stand below, followed by the Four Lingxiao Emperors, and below are the Heavenly Emperors.
Then there are the left and right immortal classes, the gods of heaven, the immortals of Taoism and Buddhism, and the demons of the demon sect, each arranged in order of priority.
At this time, the gods had already gone through the court ceremony. The Jade Emperor was the first to speak: "Have all the gods received the secret of the birth of the gods?"
All the gods worshiped in unison: "Yes."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, then raised his hand a little, and the list of gods appeared immediately in front of the Jade Emperor in the sky.
Immediately, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord said: "The list of gods has appeared in this world. I have completed my merits and deeds. I should step down from my position as the master of heaven and seek the mysteries of the higher realms."
Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, everyone present except Taishang Laojun, Lantern Ancient Buddha, Donglai Buddha, Chaos Yuanmo, and the Four Emperors were shocked.
Even Fang Jian was horrified and hurriedly worshiped: "The Great Heavenly Lord is the master of the heaven and controls the three realms. If the Great Heavenly Lord resigns, what will happen to the sentient beings in the heaven and the three realms? Please take back your life, the Great Heavenly Lord!"
"Please ask the Great Heavenly Lord to take back his life." At this moment, no matter what everyone present thought, they all followed Fang Jian and asked the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord to take back his life.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "You immortals, you don't have to be like this. Since I became the master of the three realms, I have gone through five great kalpas and trillions of yuan. Now my merits have been perfected. I should follow the Supreme Way." The path of friendship is to seek the higher state."
Hearing this, the gods were even more surprised. Taishang Daozu went to seek the upper realm, but there was nothing there. There was no trace of Taishang Daozu in the avenue.
Even the people in the Taoist sect sometimes can't help but secretly guess whether this pursuit of higher realms has returned to the origin of the Tao, and there is nothing left.
Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "I would like to ask the Great Heavenly Lord to take back my life. All the gods in heaven and all living beings in the three realms rely on the Great Heavenly Lord for his blessings. I ask the Great Heavenly Lord not to abandon us and leave."
Afterwards, all the emperors and gods in the heaven went to the Jade Emperor to ask him to take back their orders, and their words were extremely sincere.
Indeed, everyone in the Heavenly Court has become accustomed to the existence of the Great Heavenly Lord. With the Great Heavenly Lord around, everyone in the Heavenly Court feels that there is a strong support behind them.
Now that this powerful dependence is leaving, the gods in heaven feel a little empty, especially since the three realms are not stable now. The departure of the Great Heavenly Lord really makes people feel low.
The Jade Emperor was also deeply moved when he heard the pleading words and sincere instructions from the gods in heaven, headed by the Four Emperors of Lingxiao.
"Remember that since the founding of Pindao, the Heavenly Court was in dilapidated condition. There were only a dozen Heavenly Generals and no more than a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers. At that time, the Heavenly Court was not so much the ruler of the three realms as it was a weaker force than Taoism and Buddha. "
"Later, fortunately, with the help of the Four Imperial Emperors and Lord Zhou Tianxing, the poor Taoist was able to flatten the three realms, conquer the unruly ministers, and build the ultimate court to rule all directions."
Siyu Great Emperor was also quite emotional when he heard the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord talking about the first past events. At first, Emperor Ziwei and Gou Chen led Lord Zhou Tianxing to assist the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord in ascending the throne. Later, the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor ascended the throne with complete merits. Heavenly Court became the right-hand man of the third Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Lord.
Then Tuhuang Dizhi was a member of the Gonggong tribe. Later, Gonggong was defeated and died in an angry collision with Buzhou Mountain. As a result, the sky tilted to the northwest, the earth sank to the southeast, and the water of the Tianhe River poured into the human world, harming all living beings, thus violating the laws of heaven.
Under this situation, Hou Tu took the initiative to take responsibility and repair the world together with Nuwa.
The world only knows that Empress Nuwa mended the sky, but actually they don’t know that Empress Houtu mended the earth. Because of this, Empress Houtu became the deity in charge of all the earth, and with this merit she became the fourth emperor of heaven: she followed the example of Tian and was virtuous and glorious After the earth, the emperor and the earth are the only ones.
As the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord narrated, the difficult journey of a new generation of Heavenly Court since the fall of Donghuang Taiyi was extremely clearly displayed in the minds of Fang Jian and all the Heavenly Court gods.
Except for the Four Emperors, most of the emperors and immortals in the Heavenly Court since then were actively sought, trained, discovered and promoted by the Jade Emperor.
The Prince of the East, the Queen Mother of the West, the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens, the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord, Tai Yi the Suffering Heavenly Lord, the Five Directions and Five Elders, the Three Officials Great Emperor, the Wenchang Emperor, the Four Saints of the North Pole, etc.
Including the famous immortals and generals in heaven, they were all trained and promoted by the Jade Emperor. It can be said that without the Jade Emperor, heaven would always be the small fairyland court that Taoists and Buddhas could kick at will. '.
At the end of the sentence, the Jade Emperor looked at Fang Jian and said, "The last great sage that Pindao promoted to Heaven was Emperor Hongqing."
Hearing this, Fang Jian's nose felt sore and he almost cried. But fortunately, his Taoism was enough for him to suppress all emotions. He immediately bowed and said: "I am grateful to the Great Heavenly Lord for your wisdom and kindness. This virtue will never be forgotten."
The Jade Emperor Tianzun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say anything about never forgetting. Fang Jian, you need to know that Pindao was born in a poor family in the lower world. He has never had a full meal since he can remember. However, despite this, Pindao I still have kind thoughts in my heart, no matter big or small, as long as I can do good for the poor Taoist, I will do it personally and do my best. The poor Taoist has suffered 1,750 great kalpas, and each kalpa should last 129,600 years. The small kalpas are 100,3200, Each kalpa should last for three hundred and sixty years. Only by performing 18 million great deeds in each major kalpa and 7,200 small deeds in each small kalpa can you realize the infinite path."
"Now that the poor Taoist has completed his merits and deeds in the position of the Great Heavenly Lord, it is time to seek the higher realm and realize the great freedom and freedom. Why should you, the Immortal Lords, stop me?" said the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord.
As soon as these words came out, Fang Jian understood that the general situation of the Great Heavenly Lord's removal to the throne had been decided and it would be difficult to change it. Thinking of this, he felt very complicated. If he had known it, he would not have collected the list of gods so quickly.
Later, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord said again: "The list of gods has been born, and Pindao will also pass the Great Heavenly Lord's position. The new Great Heavenly Lord has experienced the tribulation, but it will take some time before he can fly to heaven and establish his throne."
Having said this, the Jade Emperor raised his hand towards the list of gods, and then he saw that the list of gods immediately emitted a great light, slowly unfolded, and illuminated the entire Lingxiao Palace.
"All immortals, please take a look." The Jade Emperor pointed at the unfolded list of gods and said, "This is the treasure that will hold all the power in heaven and the three worlds in the future."
Everyone looked up and saw that the divine light on the unfolded list of gods was bright and profound, but the divine positions were only divided into two levels.
The first level is 'Zunshen', and the second level is 'Zhengshen'.
Seeing these two levels of division, Fang Jian was suddenly confused. There were only two levels of divisions, Zunshen and Zhengshen. So, wouldn't the 'God' he set up be redundant?
At the same time, Fang Jian looked up again and found that no matter whether it was Zunshen or Zhengshen, it was empty, and there was no name on the list.
At this time, the Great Jade Emperor spoke: "Fang Jian, take out the treasure basket of heaven."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately took out the Heavenly Dao Baolu from Yuanshen and held it with both hands.
When I was young, the Taoist Treasure Rui flew up immediately, and was then sent to the list of gods under the power of the Jade Emperor.
As the Heavenly Dao Treasure flew to the Gods List, the Heavenly Treasures were immediately integrated into the Gods List, and then the Mysterious Light of the Gods List erupted, officially becoming the treasure that dominated all the powers in the three worlds of the world.
The next moment, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord said again: "From now on, those who are on the list of gods are 'gods', and those who are not on the list of gods are 'immortals'. The list of gods relies on the way of heaven, and the gods who are named on the list of gods rely on the list of gods, and the list of gods will never be destroyed. , the soul is immortal."
"However, once you are on the list of gods, although you can control the power of the three realms, you will no longer be able to practice on your own." The Jade Emperor said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Lingxiao Palace was horrified. Can't they practice on their own? Then isn't this the same as being suppressed in the list of gods?
But the Jade Emperor Tianzun immediately said: "Although it is impossible to practice if you are listed on the list of gods, every time your merits are perfect, the way of heaven will directly improve your Taoism and cultivation through the list of gods. For example, if the golden immortal god has perfect merits, he can be The Heavenly Dao directly promotes the Taiyi Golden Immortal to the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal'. If the Taiyi Golden Immortal has perfect merits and virtues, it can be directly promoted to the 'Daluo Golden Immortal' by the Heavenly Dao. The Daluo Golden Immortal, if the merits and virtues are perfect, can be directly promoted to the 'Hunyuan Wuji' by the Heavenly Dao. Daluo Jinxian'."
"Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian is the highest path defined by the list of gods. If you go up any higher, you will not be able to rise. Only when your merits are perfect again can you go to heaven and leave the list. Then you can return to freedom and cultivate to the upper realm on your own. But there is no way Then take over the authority of the Gods List." The Jade Emperor said slowly.
Hearing this, the gods and immortals finally understood, well, how could a treasure like the List of Gods be a constraint? It's just that you can't practice it yourself, but if your merits are perfect, Heaven will directly improve your Taoist realm.
Some gods have already thought about it. It is actually quite painful to practice on your own. However, to enter the list of gods, you only need to hold the authority to gain merits. Once the merits are completed, you can be directly promoted. How comfortable is this?
Having said this, the Jade Emperor Heavenly Lord added: "There are 'people of destiny' on the list of gods, and people who are not destined by destiny cannot be on the list. Once you enter the list of gods, you will give up all emotions, be ruthless, and focus on the authority of the gods. , in charge of the authority of the three realms of the present world and the rules of heaven, and no longer in charge of heavenly affairs."
This sentence is easy to understand. You can't get on the list of gods just because you want to. You must be someone appointed by heaven. And once on the list, there will no longer be any love or desire, and only divinity will remain. And they are only responsible for controlling the power and operating the rules, and are no longer responsible for the affairs of the heaven. Even if another Monkey King comes to cause trouble in the heaven and breaks into the Lingxiao Palace, they will not care about it.
The Heavenly Dao represented behind the list of gods is the Heavenly Dao itself, not the Nuwa Empress. The Nuwa Empress only proves the Heavenly Dao and holds the authority of the Heavenly Dao. Strictly speaking, she is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao.
After saying that, the Jade Emperor's gaze fell on the Four Emperors and called out: "Four fellow Taoists."
This time, the Jade Emperor did not call them by their titles directly, but directly called them 'fellow Taoist'.
Then Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Gouchen, Emperor Anji Changsheng, and Emperor Houtu turned around and bowed to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor nodded and returned the courtesy, and then said: "The four fellow Taoists are deities on the list of deified gods. Please be on the list."
The Four Emperors smiled slightly. This was their responsibility. Even though Emperor Ziwei was already Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian, he would still be obligated when Heavenly Dao needed them to be on the list to stabilize the Three Realms.
Therefore, the Siyu Emperor did not hesitate at all. After bowing down, he put his soul into the list of gods.
The next moment, the mysterious light on the list of gods shines brightly. Countless golden lotuses rain down from the sky around the Three Realms. Golden light gushes out from all the land and land in the Three Realms. Within the entire Three Realms, no matter whether the Great Thousand World or the Small Thousand World, there is a sweet rain containing strong spiritual energy.
The heavenly secret revealed itself, and the four great emperors returned to their positions and became the revered gods on the list of gods.
Above the Lingxiao Palace, Fang Jian raised his head and looked at the list of gods, and saw five lines of names appearing below the row of "Zunshen" on the list:
The Supreme Jade Emperor who rules the heavens
The Great Emperor Ziwei who rules the sky and the north pole among all the stars.
Rule over all calamities Gouchen Shanggong Emperor
The Jade Pure King who rules all spirits, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor
Rule the world, inherit the heaven, imitate the law, be virtuous and prosperous, only the emperor of the earth
The Qinghua Emperor of the East who rules over all species
Controlling all the thunders and nine heavens, responding to the sound of thunder and universalizing the gods
Although the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole (Taiyi Saves the Suffering Heavenly Lord) and the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunderous Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord were already in retreat preparing to attain Da Luo, they no longer have to do so now. The moment the Yuanshen entered the list of gods, they You no longer need to practice on your own.
The first batch of people on the list are the seven gods, headed by the next Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord, and the current Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord is naturally not on them.
At the same time, heaven revealed its secrets and announced to all living beings in the three realms the deities and powers of the list of gods.
Fang Jian received the secret and immediately understood the meaning of the authority on the list of gods. Take the 'control' of Wan Lei as an example. Everything related to thunder is under the control of Jiutian Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord. As long as he is here In the present world of the Three Realms, as long as Jiutian Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord does not allow it, then even a Daluo Jinxian cannot use thunder to cause any harm to an ordinary mortal. This is the authority on the list of gods and the rules for the operation of heaven in the present world. !
