After entering the Taixuan Hall, Fang Jian quickly walked to the center of the hall, then bowed and said, "Your servant Fang Jian greets the Grand Envoy."

The Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole smiled faintly and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Master." Fang Jian stood up straight, then stood quietly in the hall, waiting for the Emperor Qinghua of Dongji to ask questions.

The Eastern Qinghua Emperor asked, "Fang Jian, when you were the Inspector of the Three Realms, you visited the human world and the underworld, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately reported, "My Lord, that is indeed the case. At the time, I was still the Inspector of the Three Realms, and I was prepared to report to the Lord for his decision after the Peach Festival. However, I didn't expect..."

But I didn’t expect the Yulai Temple incident to happen. Now Fang Jian is no longer the Inspector of the Three Realms and the Judge of Heaven.

Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole naturally understood what Fang Jian meant, but he didn't say much. Instead, he slowly said, "Even if you can't do it, I will do it too. The affairs of the underworld have been accumulating for a long time and require long-term planning. Now, you can report to me what you have seen and thought during your inspection."

Fang Jian bowed and said, "I obey your command."

Afterwards, Fang Jian reported to the Great Emperor Dongji Qinghua all the experiences, observations and findings of his inspection of the underworld. This report lasted for more than an hour. During this period, the Great Emperor Dongji Qinghua also asked Fang Jian for his opinion, and Fang Jian told him everything he knew.

Finally, the Eastern Qinghua Emperor was very satisfied with Fang Jian's report and said, "Fang Jian, you are indeed dedicated and conscientious in your work. People like you should remain in the Heavenly Court to play a greater role. However, your going to Xiniu Hezhou was arranged by the Great Celestial Venerable... I hope that after you go to Xiniu Hezhou, you will not forget your original intention and make great contributions again."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "I will follow the instructions of the great envoy."

The Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole said, "Well, go ahead. The imperial edict to take up your post has been prepared for you."

Then the boy Mingxu handed the imperial edict to Fang Jian. After Fang Jian received the edict, he bowed and left the Taixuan Hall. As soon as he left the Taixuan Hall, he saw Qingyan, the personal attendant of the Queen Mother of the West, walking towards him.

Qing Yan came up to him and said to Fang Jian with a smile, "Master Hongqing, the Great Dao Lord asked you to go see her."

...

Taishi Xiandu is located in the Taishi Xian Palace at the front edge of the center of Daluotian.

Because Taishi Immortal City was just established, there are not many immortal officials walking around here.

Fang Jian followed the boy Qingyan into the main hall of the Taishi Immortal Palace, the 'Taiyuan Hall'. As soon as he entered, he saw the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens sitting high on a cloud of auspiciousness, holding a jade book in her hand and reading it carefully. In the center of the hall below was a jade table with three huge, shiny and round peaches on it. Next to the jade table was a fairy.

Fang Jian only glanced at the three peaches, then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness Fang Jian, I pay my respects to the Great Dao Lord."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens raised her jade eyes slightly, then pointed to the jade table below and said, "Sit down and eat the three nine-thousand-year-old peaches."

Fang Jian was startled when he heard this. "Peaches?" Those three peaches on the jade table were peaches?

Seeing Fang Jian stunned, the Lady of the Nine Heavens smiled and said, "I brought these three nine-thousand-year-old peaches back from Yaochi Lake specially. The Queen Mother of the West even said a lot about it. You can finish eating them here. I will send the peach pits back."

"..." Fang Jian couldn't help but feel extremely regretful when he heard this. He looked up at Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and said, "Lord of the Dao, I don't eat the peach flesh. Can you leave the peach pit?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens looked at Fang Jian with a smile, then said decisively and firmly, "No!" After that, she raised her hand again and pointed at the green jade table, saying, "Eat quickly."

Fang Jian bowed and said, "I thank the Great Dao Lord for his great grace."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens returned her gaze to the Jade Book and said, "Stop talking nonsense and eat!"

Fang Jian nodded in response and sat down in front of the jade table. The fairy from Yaochi beside him immediately cut a nine thousand year old peach for Fang Jian.

Fang Jian picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The next moment, his eyes became extremely bright. There was nothing else to say, just two words: delicious!

Fang Jian was eating peaches below, while the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady above the Qingyun would occasionally shift her gaze from the jade book in her hand to Fang Jian, then shift her gaze back to the jade book after looking for a while... This repeated until Fang Jian finished eating all the peaches.

"Lord Da Dao, I have finished my meal." Fang Jian stood up and bowed.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens then turned her gaze towards Fang Jian, nodded, and said, "Then I won't keep you any longer. Go to Xiniu Hezhou to take up your post."

Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Dao, for the gift of peaches. I will take my leave now."

Then he bowed three times to the Queen Mother of the West, and then left Taishi Xiandu. After leaving Taishi Xiandu, Fang Jian rode on the Third Prince and went straight down to the West Heaven Gate.
