The process of the small court meeting is rather boring. It mainly involves determining the list of people who will be rewarded for their contributions and the subsequent strategy against the Demon Sect and the Great Tribulation. These will be announced at the grand court meeting later, so I will not go into details here.

The small court meeting lasted for five days and then ended. An imperial decree was issued to announce that the big court meeting would begin on the Lantern Festival, one of the eight festivals in heaven and earth, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the earthly calendar, which is nine days away.

After retiring from court, Fang Jian returned to Taishi Xiandu, and then he was called over by the Queen Mother of the West.

This time, the Queen Mother of the West did not meet him in the Taishi Palace, but met him on the "Yaoyu Terrace" in the Taishi Palace.

After Fang Jian arrived at the Yaoyu Terrace, he saw the Lady of the Nine Heavens wearing a Nine-Cloud Phoenix Robe, holding up a colorful peak in her arms, with flying black hair and jade ornaments, looking extremely graceful and elegant.

"Your servant Fang Jian pays homage to the Great Emperor." Fang Jian bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled and nodded, then pointed to the jade table in front of her and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Great Emperor, for the invitation to sit down." Fang Jian said, then he stood up and sat cross-legged in front of the jade table. The boy Qingyan immediately brought Fang Jian a cup of spiritual tea.

After Fang Jian took a sip of tea, the Lady of the Nine Heavens spoke in a pure and fragrant voice, "Fang Jian, I had previously predicted that you would face a calamity, so I borrowed the exquisite Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda from the Supreme Lord Laojun, ready to use it to save your life at a critical moment. However, I didn't expect that the Primal Chaos Demon would attack you personally, and I was too late to save you. Fortunately, you were blessed with great fortune and luck. Not only did you not get killed, but you turned a disaster into a blessing, obtaining an innate spiritual treasure. I am so happy."

Fang Jian quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Great Emperor, for your concern. I am deeply grateful."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens waved her hand and said, "Fang Jian, you are now the Immortal Lord of Great Beginning and the God of Justice. This time, you have made great contributions to help us suppress the three great demons. Your contribution is enormous. After consultation, we, the Five Heavenly Gods, have decided to report to the Great Heavenly Venerable and officially appoint you as the head of the True Lords of Auxiliary Heaven. You will be given the honorific title and full authority over all matters of justice in the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms. Anyone below the Five Heavenly Gods can be held accountable."

At this point, the Lady of the Nine Heavens continued, "It's a pity that you don't have enough experience. The position of Emperor is currently unoccupied. Otherwise, you would be more than qualified to take on the role of Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian quickly said, "My achievements are small and my virtue is meager. How dare I covet the title of Emperor?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens shook her head and said, "You don't have to be so modest. In terms of your cultivation, magical treasures, and achievements, you are no less than any of the True Lords of the Heavenly Auxiliary. However, your qualifications are far inferior. Without a tremendous achievement, it would be difficult for you to stand out from the crowd and ascend to the throne of the Emperor first."

This is also true. If the position of immortal official is one carrot and one hole, then the position of emperor is even more "too many wolves and too little meat".

Except for the demon Emperor Jun and four of the nine emperors of Shenxiao who were recently enthroned, the other emperors in heaven have never changed.

Di Jun is the Demon Emperor, representing the demon clan. Nanhua Emperor and his ilk represent the Daoist faction. The current emperors are the result of a multi-party game within the Heavenly Court. Even though the Great Celestial Venerable has absolute power, he is unwilling to take the initiative to disrupt the balance.

Besides, in terms of seniority and achievements, which of Erlang Shen, Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun, Tianyou Zhide Zhenjun, and Yisheng Baode Zhenjun has less seniority than Fang Jian? Which of them has less achievements than Fang Jian? They have toiled in the Heavenly Palace for countless eons.

The Queen Mother of the West knew that it was only a matter of time before Fang Jian became the Emperor, but he needed a tremendous achievement that would be enough to silence all the gossips.

"Alright." The Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled softly and said, "We'll have to wait until we report to the Great Celestial Venerable to find out the details. Let's not talk about that for now. Come, have some tea."

Fang Jian responded, then picked up the teacup and took a sip. Jiu Tian Xuan Nu also took a sip of the spiritual tea, then put down the teacup and asked, "Is your little disciple still in the Yang God Realm?"

Fang Jian bowed and replied, "Yes, Great Emperor."

Jiu Tian Xuan Nu nodded and said, "She is still young, so there is no need to rush into becoming an immortal. She should first train more in the mortal world. It is particularly important to strengthen her state of mind and build a solid foundation for cultivation. Now that the Demon Cult has been established, it will be normal for demons to cause chaos in the Three Realms in the future."

"The Great Emperor is absolutely right," Fang Jian replied.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens looked at Fang Jian and smiled, then pointed with her bare hand and said, "Have some tea."

An hour later, Fang Jian bid farewell to the Queen Mother of the West, left the Jade Terrace, and returned to the Taichu Palace.

At this time, Wen Tianxiang, the Lord of Kaocheng, came to report that the connection between the Jade Scroll of Kaocheng and the world had been restored.

"Now that the calamity power that enveloped the heavens has dissipated, the connection between the Jade Scroll of Merit Examination and the heavens and the worlds will naturally be restored." Fang Jian said with a smile.

At this time, Hei Haier suddenly walked into the hall and said to Fang Jian, "Sir, Master Zixu is outside the hall requesting to see you."

"Oh?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Please let them in."

"Yes." Heihaier accepted the order respectfully and left. Wen Tianxiang bowed to Fang Jian and left the Zhengfa Hall.

Now that the calamity force has dissipated, the people of Tongtian Mansion have returned to Heaven to prepare for the grand court meeting. However, their business is not over yet, because the gates to various realms that were destroyed by the calamity force still need to be restored by Tongtian Mansion.

Soon, True Man Zixu walked into the Zhengfa Hall and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "I pay my respects to True Lord Hongqing."

"No need to be so polite, fellow Daoist. Please take a seat." Fang Jian said with a smile.

But True Man Zixu bowed and said, "True Lord Hongqing, I am here to apologize."

When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately understood his intention. "Are you here to intercede for Bu Qingyan, the headmaster of the Purple Spirit Sect?"

True Man Zixu said, "I'm not pleading for mercy, but rather reporting to True Lord Hongqing: Tan Yan was Bu Qingyan's male favorite. Because he was initially possessed by the devil, Bu Qingyan couldn't bear to kill him outright. Therefore, she wanted him to cultivate his mind and break free from the devil. Unfortunately, he failed in the end and nearly harmed True Lord Hongqing."
