Therefore, the Five Elders of the Five Directions cannot refuse. This does not mean that their faith in Taoism is weak and they are easily tempted, but that this is part of the "opportunity". If they do not take advantage of it in advance, they will suffer the consequences, especially when it is an opportunity bestowed by the Jade Emperor who rules the three realms on behalf of Heaven.

If they give up this opportunity this time, they may never reach the upper realm of Daluo again in the future.

I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains. No one wants to miss this opportunity to climb to the top and look down on all the other mountains.

At this time, Sun Wukong said, "Five old celestial monarchs, the great celestial master's rewards, you cannot refuse them one after another."

This gave the Five Elders a way out, so after Sun Wukong finished speaking, the Five Elders quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We thank the Jade Emperor for his generous gift."

The Jade Emperor presented five Daluo Golden Pills to the Five Elders of the Five Directions. The Five Elders immediately received them respectfully and bowed deeply to express their gratitude again.

"My five beloved ministers, please stand up. I wish that you five beloved ministers can achieve the Daluo realm as soon as possible and benefit all sentient beings in the three realms." The Jade Emperor said again.

The Five Elders of the Five Directions bowed and said, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable."

Then the Five Elders returned to their own honored seats. The five of them looked at each other, with excitement and helplessness in their eyes.

They were excited because with the Daluo Golden Elixir, they could finally get a glimpse of the scenery in the upper realm, but they were helpless because from now on, they could only stand on the side of the Jade Emperor.

But it’s okay. The Jade Emperor is the Lord of Heaven and the Supreme of the Three Realms, and they are the subjects of the Jade Emperor.

Seeing the Five Elders of the Five Directions accept the Daluo Golden Pill and return to their honored seats, the Jade Emperor was also in a good mood. He nodded slightly at Fang Jian with a smile on his face, feeling emotional in his heart.

This time, the Five Elders of the Five Directions received a great favor from him, and he also owed Fang Jian a huge favor. Now he had only one thought in his mind, that is, 'the Lord of Heaven is wise', and left him a wise minister like Fang Jian.

Immediately, the Jade Emperor said, "I will only have these two matters to attend to during today's court meeting. I will leave the rest of the time to you, my dear ministers."

After saying this, the Jade Emperor sat on the throne in the sky without saying another word.

At this time, Fang Jian held up the jade tablet and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I also want to issue two decrees."

The Jade Emperor said, "Yes."

Then Fang Jian turned around and asked, "Where is the Great Emperor Xuantianyousheng Zhenwu?"

Zhenwu Emperor immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is here."

Fang Jian said, "I appoint you as the Regent Emperor of Taisu Palace, to assist me in managing the power of Taisu Palace. You will take up the position after you have achieved the Great Luo Dao Fruit through seclusion."

The Great Emperor Zhenwu immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your command."

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the gods were once again filled with astonishment. They understood two things from Fang Jian's words: first, the Great Emperor Zhenwu had sided with Fang Jian. Second, the Great Emperor Zhenwu was about to retreat to attain the Daluo Dao Fruit, which was enough to prove that he also possessed a Daluo Golden Core.

At this moment, Taishang Laojun suddenly realized something and looked at Fang Jian in astonishment, thinking to himself, "This kid is really decisive. He actually transformed the Chaos Source Qi into six Daluo Golden Pills and gave up using them to open his own Xuanqiao. His determination and perseverance are truly admirable. Even more commendable is that he was willing to offer five of them to the Jade Emperor to reward the Five Elders. With such determination and means, it seems that the suppression of Taoism and Buddhism is justified."

However, Taishang Laojun wasn't surprised by Fang Jian's ability to transform Primal Chaos Qi into Daluo Jindan, as he had a kind mother. He believed that before long, Heaven would have six more Daluo Jinxians.

After receiving the order, the Great Emperor Zhenwu returned to his esteemed seat. Fang Jian then called out, "Where is the Great Emperor Taiyuan Yousheng?"

Kunpeng immediately responded and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is here."

Fang Jianyan said, "You have been in charge of Central Juntian for a hundred years. You have overcome many difficulties, established the Divine Court, governed Central Juntian, and brought peace to all immortals and mortals. Your achievements are remarkable. I hereby bestow upon you the honorific title of 'Great Ming Xuansheng Yuanchen Emperor'."

When Kunpeng heard the imperial edict, he immediately showed joy on his face. This title was much higher than the previous ones. Holding the jade sceptre in his hand, he first thanked the Jade Emperor, then thanked the Great Emperor Hongqing, and finally accepted the imperial edict.

But after Kunpeng received the order, Fang Jian suddenly spoke up, "However, Emperor Taiming Xuansheng Yuanchen, regarding your future duties as the Heavenly Emperor, I need to make some adjustments."

Hearing this, Kunpeng, who had just received the imperial edict to confer the title, was stunned for a moment, then respectfully bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Please, Great Emperor Hongqing, grant me the edict."
