However, just as the Queen Mother of the West was sharpening her knife, things suddenly changed.

A golden talisman was sent, ordering the Queen Mother of the West to go to the Lingxiao Palace for an audience immediately.

The moment Queen Mother of the West received the golden talisman, her eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, she already knew what was going to happen.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother of the West set out for the Lingxiao Palace to pay homage. Now in the Lingxiao Palace, the only ones who can let the Queen Mother of the West pay homage are the Four Imperial Gods.

After the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady paid her respects to the Four Imperial Gods, she heard the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei of the Central Heaven speak: "Your Majesty is now in seclusion to eliminate the calamity. It is not appropriate for the Heavenly Court to have any more troubles at this time. I hope fellow Taoists will consider the overall situation and not use the Chonghua incident to purge the immortal ministers."

The Lady of the Nine Heavens bowed and replied, "I obey the law."

After the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady accepted the order, the Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gou Chen said, "That Heavenly Lord Dingyuan has failed to raise his children properly, and he has secretly married and had children, which has already violated the Heavenly Law. Now he has even incurred public wrath, and he is no longer fit to serve as the Heavenly Lord of Northern Juluzhou."

"Let him resign on his own initiative." Queen Hou Tu said at this moment.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens accepted the order again and said, "I will obey your command."

Finally, Emperor Ziwei said, "The new Heavenly Sovereign will be chosen by you, Daoist friend. You do not need to report to us."

"yes."

...

A beam of immortal light descended upon the Jade Spring Peak of Broken Boundary Mountain, and Fang Jian hurried out to greet it. "I had no idea the Empress had arrived, and I apologize for not coming to greet you. I beg for your forgiveness."

Empress Wenlin waved her whisk lightly, her beautiful face smiling as she said, "Don't be so polite. Just come with me."

"Where are we going?" Fang Jian asked.

Empress Wenlin said, "The Heavenly Monarch's Palace in Northern Juluzhou has taken back the Dingyuan Pearl."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian asked, "Is this the will of the Great Master?"

"Yes," said Empress Wenlin, "After you retrieve the Dingyuan Pearl, Lord Dingyuan will depart for Heaven."

Fang Jian was immediately surprised and asked, "Resign? Then who will be the new Heavenly Sovereign? Will it be me?"

"Haha." Empress Wenlin chuckled and pointed at Fang Jian with her whisk, saying, "No wonder the Grand Master said you're obsessed with power. Don't you think you've only been an immortal official for a few days, and you're already thinking about becoming a Heavenly Lord?"

Fang Jian said, "Why not? Putting aside our cultivation level, I am more suitable than Lord Dingyuan in terms of both strength and responsibility."

Empress Wenlin shook her head and said, "Tianjun Dingyuan has been in charge of the Tianjun Palace in Northern Juluzhou for over one hundred thousand years. He has followed the Great Emperor Zhenwu in wiping out demonic threats countless times. His contributions are incomparable to yours now."

Fang Jian heard this and sighed, "Alright, I'll obey the orders of the Grand Master."

Empress Wenlin looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, the Grand Envoy will never forget you. One day, you will be of use."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand." Fang Jian instantly suppressed all his emotions and nodded seriously.

...

When Fang Jian and Empress Wenlin arrived at the Tianjun Mansion, they found that there were many unfamiliar faces here, including True Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, Taiyi Mysterious Immortals, and even many Golden Immortals.

Moreover, these people were all immortal officials from the Heavenly Court and masters of Taoism and Buddhism without exception. Fang Jian did not recognize many of them, but they stared at Fang Jian intently, wanting to remember his appearance firmly in their hearts.

"Hey!" Just as Fang Jian followed Empress Wenlin to the entrance of the main hall, a sudden shout was heard from the side.

Fang Jian turned his head and saw a handsome young man with skin as tender and clear as a new lotus root, dressed in lotus-colored clothes, squatting on the lion at the entrance of the hall, looking at him with curious eyes.

As soon as Fang Jian saw the man's attire, how could he not know who he was?

So he immediately bowed and said, "I am your honor to meet the Third Prince."

"Hehe, it's rare that you know me. Okay, okay, you're famous this time, you know?" Nezha asked with a smile.

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "No matter how famous I am, I am not as famous as you, Third Prince, who is renowned throughout the Three Realms."

"Hahaha!" Nezha laughed loudly, then jumped off the lion. He walked over and patted Fang Jian on the shoulder, saying, "You're really good at talking. I like it! I also have a gold brick magic weapon. Let's try it out when we have time."

"I am honored to be invited by the Third Prince." Fang Jian said with a bow.

"Alright, let's talk later." Empress Wenlin interrupted Nezha at the right moment and said, "Fang Jian, follow me in."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes."

Then, under Nezha's wink, Fang Jian followed Empress Wenlin into the hall.

At this time, except for the four heavenly generals guarding the hall, no one else is allowed to enter.

When Empress Wenlin and Fang Jian entered the hall, the four heavenly generals immediately stepped aside.

Empress Wenlin looked at Dingyuan Tianjun and the imprisoned immortals in the hall, then turned around and looked at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian understood, then walked forward and raised his hand. The Dingyuan Pearl shook slightly, then flew back to Fang Jian's hand in an instant.

The moment the Dingyuan Pearl flew back, Dingyuan Tianjun, the Eight Immortals and others regained their freedom in an instant.

"Ah! What a powerful Dingyuan Golden Light!" Tieguai Li exclaimed, and then all the immortals came forward to pay their respects to Empress Wenlin. Only Master Jinyu, after paying his respects, walked towards Dingyuan Tianjun, who was at the head of the group.

Empress Wenlin returned the greetings one by one, and then turned her gaze to Dingyuan Tianjun who had turned his back.

Then, Empress Wenlin said to Tianjun Dingyuan, "Fellow Daoist Dingyuan, the Grand Master has ordered you to go to Taixuandu Province to meet with Him."

Ding Yuan Tianjun's body trembled slightly, and then a deep voice sounded: "Yes, Ding Yuan obeys your command."

But Dingyuan Tianjun still had his back to the crowd, sitting dejectedly at the head of the table. Empress Wenlin knew that he was embarrassed and didn't dare to face the immortals, so she said, "Let's go out first."
