The celestial bells resound throughout the heavens, and the golden drums shake the ten directions.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, towering in the sky, giant gods stood on golden clouds, arrayed in the air. They struck celestial bells or pounded golden drums, their sounds so powerful they could be heard throughout the underworld.

Fang Jian and the other eleven people who had just graduated from the Cave God Hall stood respectfully on the side of the Lingxiao Palace, watching teams of heavenly generals holding flags and weapons and marching slowly past them.

Those celestial generals walked to the outside of the Lingxiao Palace and stopped, then stood solemnly, staring sharply ahead.

Then, a fragrant cloud floated in from all directions, and countless fairies suddenly flew out from the fragrant cloud. They were dressed in colorful clothes and held flower baskets in their hands. They continuously scattered colorful fairy flowers around the Lingxiao Palace.

When Master Ren Hua saw this, he couldn't help but whisper to Fang Jian, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Fang Jian asked softly, "Have you ever been to the Lingxiao Palace?"

"No." Ren Hua Zhenren glanced at the majestic and solemn Lingxiao Palace and said, "I have been an immortal official for hundreds of thousands of years. Today is my first time to come to the Lingxiao Palace to meet the Great Celestial Venerable."

At this point, Master Ren Hua said to Fang Jian, "How many times has this happened to you?"

Fang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I forgot, maybe four or five times."

"How could they forget this?" Fang Jian heard a murmur beside him. He turned around and saw that it was his colleague who graduated from Dongshen Hall with him.

"Haven't you come to the Lingxiao Palace to meet the Great Celestial Lord?" Fang Jian asked everyone in surprise.

The others shook their heads. One of the female immortals said with some envy, "Not everyone has the ability of Master Hongqing. Besides, the last time the Great Celestial Venerable came out of retreat to summon the immortals, we were training in the Cave God Hall and missed it."

"I don't know what the Great Celestial Master looks like."

"Needless to say? This is definitely the most majestic appearance in the Three Realms!"

"There's no need to guess. You'll know when you meet the Great Celestial Venerable."

Hearing the discussions coming from all around, Fang Jian smiled. Even though they were all first-rank immortal officials in the Heavenly Court and held great power, only super-rank immortal officials were qualified to have an audience at the Lingxiao Palace, or only immortal officials of the fifth rank and above could have this opportunity when the Great Celestial Venerable came out of seclusion to eliminate the calamity and issued an edict to the immortal officials to have an audience.

Just when everyone was excited about the upcoming audience with the Great Celestial Lord, a small figure came up to Fang Jian and stood in front of him.

Fang Jian looked down and saw that it was the Qingyan boy beside the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. "Fellow Daoist Qingyan?"

The boy Qingyan raised his head and said to Fang Jian, "Lord Dadao has something for me to tell you."

Fang Jian's expression immediately turned serious, and he bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

The Qingyan boy said, "Lord Da Dao asked me to tell you that today's audience is different from the past. You should not speak up easily. If someone asks you, do your best to answer them perfunctorily."

Fang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why is that?"

Qingyan Tongzi shook his head and said, "I can't tell you. Anyway, just remember what Da Daojun said. I'll go back first."

Fang Jian was slightly stunned, then he bowed to Qingyan Tongzi and said, "Okay, thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

The boy Qingyan left with the whisk in his arms and soon disappeared into the side hall on the right side of the Lingxiao Palace.

Fang Jian looked at the direction where Qingyan Boy left, his face full of confusion. Ren Hua Zhenren beside him also asked, "What does it mean that the boy who is closely associated with the Great Dao Lord has told you this?"

"I don't know either." Fang Jian spread his hands.

The other nine immortal officials also looked at Fang Jian in surprise and doubt. The Great Dao Lord only conveyed the message to Fang Jian but not to them. Could it be that there was some hidden secret in today's audience that they didn't know?

However, they did not dare to question it openly, but silently remembered what Qingyan Tongzi said to Fang Jian in their hearts.

At this moment, the celestial bells and golden drums in the sky suddenly stopped, and only the fairy flower petals scattered by the fairies continued to fall.

But then, a wonderful fairy music sounded from all directions. Fang Jian and others looked up and saw the golden clouds and purple mist in the sky, among the vast white clouds, one by one, the fairies Chang'e were either holding or holding, or standing or sitting, playing the wonderful fairy music with various musical instruments.

At the moment the immortal music sounded, overwhelming purple air suddenly surged in from the eastern sky, directly covering the thirty-three heavens, and finally stopped outside the Lingxiao Palace.

"Purple air is coming from the east!" Ren Hua Zhenren exclaimed at the scene: "Daluo Jinxian!"

"There's more than one." Fang Jian also said softly.

Such a vast purple aura must belong to not just one Daluo Jinxian, but many Daluo Jinxian.

At the same time, an old immortal with a sage-like demeanor emerged from the Lingxiao Palace. It was none other than Taibai Jinxing. After exiting the Lingxiao Palace, Taibai Jinxing waved his whisk, raised his head, and announced to the Daluo beings atop the purple aura, "The Jade Emperor decrees that all the saints of the Dao Sect enter the palace for an audience."

Afterwards, Fang Jian saw the purple air gather in an instant, revealing thirteen tall and mysterious figures. After bowing towards the Lingxiao Palace, the thirteen figures turned into thirteen mysterious lights and flew into the Lingxiao Palace.

Seeing this scene, everyone was a little stunned. They realized that such a grand ceremony in front of them was probably not just prepared for them.

Fang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew at a glance that the thirteen Daluo were from the Taoist sect. However, today was not the day for the Taoists and Buddhists to pay homage to the Great Heavenly Venerable. However, the thirteen Daluo from the Taoist sect gathered here. It was obvious that something very important was about to happen.

Not only Fang Jian, but even Master Ren Hua and others were keenly aware that something big was about to happen.

Not long after, just a cup of tea after the thirteen Daluo of the Taoist sect entered the Lingxiao Palace, Taibai Jinxing walked out of the Lingxiao Palace again and announced again: "The Jade Emperor decrees that Ren Hua, Shi Ling, Shao Yuan, Lu Bisheng, Hai Yunwei, Qi Yan, Fu Zhenqing, Zhou Tingling, Wan Xu, Dao Xin, and Fang Jian enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor."
