In fact, Fang Jian didn't expect the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom to be able to handle this matter. He just went there to test his attitude.

But I didn't expect that the Zhenyang Taoist Alliance has such deep roots in the mortal world, which makes it difficult to deal with.

Gou Wuyan was extremely cautious in his actions and words, and completely avoided all pitfalls that would violate the Heavenly Rules.

As for the two of them betting with the Thousand Silks, it was just a gentlemanly fight between cultivators, and he also had the Dingyuan Pearl to regain his position later.

The Thousand Silk was just an ordinary magic weapon. It could be used against ordinary immortals, but it was not of much value. When Fang Jian left, Gou Wuyan didn't even mention it, so Fang Jian was too lazy to waste the Hongmeng Dao Qi to refine it.

As for the Emperor Chen Yan of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Fang Jian really had no way to deal with him. He was a human emperor with his own destiny, and he, the Judge of Heaven, could not control it.

Thinking of this, Fang Jian immediately returned to Heaven and headed all the way to the Taixuan Division's 'Yanzuoyuan'.

Yanzuoyuan is a department at the same level as Tianfangyuan. Although its powers are not as important as Tianfangyuan, it is also an extremely important department.

Because Yeonjowon was the department in charge of "the affairs of the world and the emperor", Fang Jian came all the way to Yeonjowon.

The head of Yanzuoyuan was Cui Ji, the Sukuang Zhenren. When he heard that Fang Jian had come to Yanzuoyuan, he immediately came out to greet him in person.

"Master Hongqing's visit really brings honor to our humble courtyard." Master Sukuang, dressed in immortal robes, came forward with an immortal air.

Fang Jian bowed his head and said with a smile, "Master Su Kuang, you are too kind. I am here to bother you with something."

"Oh?" Master Su Kuang was slightly startled, then he extended his hand and said, "Master Hong Qing, please enter the hall and talk first."

The two of them entered the main hall of Yanzuoyuan and took their seats. Master Sukuang ordered the boy to serve tea, and then asked, "My Yanzuoyuan is responsible for the affairs of the mortal world and the emperor. Is there anything I can do to help Master Hongqing?"

Fang Jian sighed and briefly recounted the incident.

After listening to this, Master Su Kuang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I never thought that the customs in the mortal world have fallen to this point. Even Goddess Nuwa dares to make up stories."

Nuwa is the person with the greatest merits since the creation of the world. She is also the Holy Mother of the human race and the ancestor of human civilization. Let alone you, an emperor on earth, even the Taoist and Buddha would have to treat her as an equal when they met.

Moreover, Nuwa not only contributes to the human race, but also to all living beings under the heaven.

It has been said many times before that if a cultivator is beaten to the point of having his soul shattered and his body and spirit destroyed, as long as he has preserved a "true spirit", he can enter the cycle of reincarnation to repair his spirit and soul. Although it will take thousands of lifetimes, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The protection of the 'true spirit' is the heavenly rule established by Nuwa after she attained enlightenment. Therefore, those cultivators whose bodies and souls have been destroyed and whose spirits have been scattered, and who have been able to preserve their reincarnation with their true spirits, should thank Nuwa.

This is great compassion and great merit. Even the founders of Taoism and Buddhism had to admit that in terms of merit, Nuwa is the first.

Fang Jian said at this moment: "I have come here to trouble you to investigate the fate of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Master Su Kuang was startled and said, "Daoyou, are you going to... No, no, if the emperor's time limit hasn't yet come to an end, it's a violation of the heavenly law for the immortals and gods to interfere without authorization."

Fang Jian laughed heartily and said, "Don't be alarmed, my friend. I am a judge in heaven. How can I break the law knowingly?"

Upon hearing this, Master Su Kuang looked straight at Fang Jian. After a moment, he suddenly realized something and said, "Oh... Daoist friend, you want to... I understand."

After saying that, Master Su Kuang immediately raised his hand, and a ray of fairy light flashed by, and a thick jade book immediately appeared in Master Su Kuang's hand.

"This is the Book of Destiny, which can observe the fortune, destiny and life span of emperors in the world. Let me show it to you, fellow Taoist." said Taoist Master Su Kuang.

Fang Jian nodded, then took a sip of the spiritual tea. He felt that the tea was warm and smooth in his throat, and it was full of spiritual energy. It was indeed a top-grade spiritual tea.

I saw Su Kuang Zhenren opened the "Book of Zuo" and turned to the Great Zhou Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou. He said: "The Great Zhou Kingdom still has 400 years of national destiny. Chen Yan can still rule the country for 100 years... Huh? Chen Yan is already 43 years old. He can rule the country for 100 years. Does that mean he can live longer?

To one hundred and forty-three?"

The average lifespan of humans in the Jambu world is 120 years, but Chen Yan seems to be unexpectedly long-lived.

Fang Jian heard this and said, "When I was in the Great Zhou Kingdom, I saw starving people everywhere. The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. How could the court have survived for another four hundred years with such a situation?"

Master Su Kuang smiled and said, "The fortunes of nations fluctuate; there's no set number. When a wise ruler emerges, their fortunes increase; when a foolish one does, their fortunes decrease. Everything in the universe rises and falls, and so do nations. The decline of a nation four hundred years from now is often foreshadowed four hundred years in advance. When Chen Yan ascended the throne, the Great Zhou still had eight hundred years of national fortune left. Now, only four hundred remain."

"So that's how it is." Fang Jian suddenly realized.

Fang Jian then asked, "Master, if I want to find the spirits of those deceased emperors, where should I look?"

Upon hearing this, Master Su Kuang stared at Fang Jian deeply, then said, "The deceased emperor's spirit will not reincarnate, but will return to its place in heaven to be nurtured. Only when the opportunity arises can it be reincarnated. As for where its spirit is, I actually don't know."

Fang Jian's eyes fixed, and he asked, "Master, do you really not know?"

Master Su Kuang shook his head and said, "This is a secret of heaven. Only those who hold this power can know it. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the heavenly law. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Fang Jian smiled slightly upon hearing this, then changed his tone and asked, "Excuse me, Master, I'd like to take a walk to the vast expanse of the Heavenly Palace. Do you have any suggestions?"
