The Bull Demon King was defeated, and Qin Ran was the only winner. The Jade Emperor announced on the spot: "Qin Ran, the Marshal of the Middle Altar, surpasses all heroes in skill and is crowned the leader. He shall be the Emperor of the West Extreme Heaven-bearing Battle!"
As soon as the Jade Emperor's golden mouth opened, the announcement spread throughout the three realms. At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that Qin Ran would ascend to the throne of the Emperor of the West!
The golden-winged roc who was defeated by the Bull Demon King sighed and was about to leave when the Jade Emperor's voice suddenly reached his ears: "Peng King, my position as Marshal of the Tianhe Navy is vacant. I wonder if King Peng is interested in taking over?"
After hearing the Jade Emperor's solicitation, the Golden-winged Dapeng hesitated for a moment and sent a message from his spiritual mind: "Tianpeng, the last marshal of the navy, had his body cut off just because he was drunk and played with Chang'e. It is boring for the privileged Emperor of the West to become a naval marshal."
Before he finished speaking, he was cut off by the Jade Emperor: "Prince Peng is worried about the rules of heaven? Don't worry, with King Peng's identity and magical power, as long as he is willing to serve as the marshal of the Tianhe navy, the rules of heaven... he can become Peng." Please open your eyes!"
The Golden-winged Dapeng thought for a moment and immediately agreed. He also came with a mission. If the Emperor of the West could not do it, then it would be good to be a navy marshal.
The Jade Emperor issued an edict to the Three Realms, conferring Qin Ran the title of Emperor of the West and entering the Palace of the West. He also made the Golden-winged Dapeng the Marshal of the Tianhe Navy.
The other immortals who performed well in the fighting skills were also recruited by the Jade Emperor, and each received a reward.
However, the three brothers, the Bull Demon King, declined the Jade Emperor's solicitation and returned to the mortal world.
Qin Ran knew that although he ascended to the throne of God this time as he wished, the real winner was the Jade Emperor.
After canonizing a large number of immortal families on the spot, the Jade Emperor held a banquet in Yaochi to entertain the newly minted Emperor of the West and the Marshal of the Navy.
At the banquet, Qin Ran's seat was only half a step lower than that of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Compared to other immortal families, it can be said to be superior.
After the feast, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother drove back to the palace, and Qin Ran and other newcomers to heaven also returned to their respective mansions.
Qin Ran wore a flat crown and a nine-dragon robe, and rode an agarwood chariot pulled by nine luan birds. There were tall and mighty heavenly soldiers holding flags in front of him to clear the way. There were fairy jacquard baskets, treasure fans, treasure banners, and incense burners serving on the chariot. , and there are ten thousand heavenly soldiers with bright armor, riding on the side of the chariot on heavenly horses, the appearance is extremely grand and luxurious.
These pomps were naturally given by the Jade Emperor.
And he is now heading to the West Ji Emperor's Mansion, which was built during the preparations for the selection of the West Ji Emperor, not far from Yaochi.
The Jade Emperor had promised that there would be eight heavenly kings under the Emperor of the West, and the specific candidates could be decided by the Emperor himself. There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the Xiji Palace, and the candidates are also chosen by the emperor.
Since Qin Ran had this power, he would certainly not be polite. The strong men of the Xian family who participated in the selection of the West Extreme Emperor have all been recruited by the Jade Emperor, who has a higher position, stronger strength, and more resources. Qin Ran cannot possibly influence the Jade Emperor, nor does he intend to antagonize the Jade Emperor. He will not recruit strong men from those immortal families to be the king of his family.
But if he can't recruit strong men, he can canonize his own girl! No one stipulates that imperial concubines cannot concurrently serve as kings and officials, right?
"I can consecrate eight heavenly kings to help me lead my troops in battle. Bai Suzhen and the fox demon grandma are both heavenly masters and can be heavenly kings. Who can fill the positions of the remaining six heavenly kings?"
In the Xiji Imperial Palace, Qin Ran was sitting on the emperor's throne in the main palace, quietly thinking about how to allocate duties.
"The four heavenly kings at the gate of heaven are all average in strength. By the way, I can try to recruit the Bull Demon King. Maybe I can buy one get two free and recruit the Macaque King and other demon kings, as well as , my previous backup plan can also be activated."
"In terms of civil and military officials, we cannot favor one over the other, and everyone has a share. The head of the civil service can be named eight prime ministers, which are called the eight prime ministers in the southeast, northwest, front, rear, left, and right. As for military generals, they are divided into Zhentian, Weitian, and Baotian. , Hutian, Kuangtian, Futian, Guardian, and Youtian are the eight marshals. Here are the sixteen more generals..."
Qin Ran planned to confer eight prime ministers, eight marshals, and sixteen generals in one go.
This is not a prank, but a precedent.
The phenomenon of redundant officials in the Heavenly Court has a long historical tradition - the personal guards who roll up the curtains can be called generals, the guard chiefs who watch the gates can be called kings, and the guards who guard the Lingxiao Palace can be called kings.
Commanders all have the title of marshal...
Therefore, if Qin Ran made more prime ministers, marshals, and generals, it would not be a big deal.
Moreover, this official title does not sound nice, but is linked to the salary. The higher the official rank, the better the treatment. The various cultivation resources are far more than those of low-ranking officials.
The treatment of Qin Ran, an official of Xiji Palace, is the responsibility of Heavenly Court. All resources are provided by heaven.
In this case, of course he would give a large reward and get more benefits from the Jade Emperor.
Anyway, the Heavenly Court governs the three realms and is the highest in all the worlds. It has extremely rich resources. Even if he can seal a hundred first-rank officials in one breath, the Heavenly Court can still afford it.
"The Jade Emperor can make Sha Wu, who rolls up the curtains, a general. Can I make the maid who folds the quilt at home a general?"
…
On the other side, Crouching Tiger Arhat has rushed to Lingjiu Mountain and arrived in front of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng.
"Buddha, my disciple is incompetent and failed to complete his mission!"
Crouching Tiger Arhat knelt down in front of the burning lamp and said with shame on his face: "Not only did he fail to win, but his golden body was destroyed and the magic weapon was taken away..."
As a true immortal, even if Fuhu Arhat loses his golden body, his soul still has the strength of an immortal. And just like a living person, it doesn't seem to be unreal at all. It can eat, sleep and practice.
But the loss of Arhat's golden body was a great loss to Fuhu Arhat.
It would take at least thousands of years of hard work to restore the golden body. Before the golden body is restored, the realm will not improve at all, and the soul can only maintain the strength of the immortal level.
The Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng slowly opened his eyes, stared at the Crouching Tiger Arhat, and said slowly: "Li Jing sent a message to tell me that it passed. How did you lose?"
Fuhu Luohan looked angry: "That man was not my opponent, but his strength suddenly increased dramatically. The disciples suspected that he either had a shocking secret treasure, or he was hiding his identity and intended to sneak into the heaven to plot evil!"
"Is this happening?" Ran Deng frowned, pondered for a while, and then slowly said to himself: "Could it be that this person has an extraordinary background and a lot of history?"
Fuhu Luohan said: "That must be the case! I have used magic to calculate the heaven's secrets, but in all the calculations about that person, I can't see the slightest hint of the heaven's secrets. This is obviously because there is a powerful person who messed up the heaven's secrets for him!"
Hearing the words, Ran Deng remained silent. He moved his fingers slightly, but he figured out the secret. After a while, he opened his eyes with a solemn expression. Even with his ability, he could not figure out the identity of the man who defeated Fuhu Arhat. .
This surprised him, "It seems that I need to meet that person in person!"
