Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
"Reporting to Master Hongqing," Yan Jingfa arrived at Fang Jianyun's tent and reported, "Construction of the Immortal Slaying Platform has begun and is expected to be completed in five days."
Fang Jian heard this and said, "Five days? Will it take that long for 300,000 heavenly soldiers to build the Immortal Slaying Platform?"
Yan Jingfa said, "The Immortal Slaying Platform is not difficult. The difficult part is the Thunder Department's Thunder Talisman Statue. Also, the Immortal Slaying Platform needs to withstand the power of heavenly thunder, so it requires a lot of precious materials. It will take more than a day or two to prepare them."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, five days is five days. Tell Yan Jingyao that the Immortal Slaying Platform must be completed in five days."
Yan Jingfa bowed and said, "Yes."
After Yan Jingfa left, Fang Jian discovered that there were some unusual movements coming from his Immortal Official Jade Disc. He immediately summoned the Immortal Official Jade Disc to check. It turned out that the Heavenly Court had begun to reward the first batch of meritorious people who returned to the Heavenly Court after the conquest of Dingqingzhou Daotian Tower.
"I wonder what kind of reward Fairy Qing will receive?" Fang Jian thought as he sat cross-legged at his desk. "Although she was captured together with the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, she still has quite a few achievements."
Although those achievements were due to the magic weapon 'Jiuhua Tianbao Emei Spear' given to her by Fang Jian, generally speaking, it was Cen Biqing's credit.
"Will the Grand Envoy not appoint her as an immortal official?" Fang Jian felt something was a little strange when he thought of Cen Biqing wearing the robes of an immortal official.
Shaking his head, Fang Jian dismissed the image of Cen Biqing wearing the robes of an immortal official from his mind, and then he began to carefully read the jade slip in his hand.
This jade slip was sent from the Demon Court. Oh, no, it should be called "Qingxiao Treasure Realm" now.
This jade slip was sent from the Shangshu Mansion of Qingxiao Treasure Realm. It said that Qingxiao Treasure Realm would hold a vegetarian banquet to celebrate the Heavenly Court's elimination of the rebels from Dingqingzhou Daotian Tower, so they would like to invite Fang Jian to condescend to attend.
Fang Jian carefully read the jade slip several times, and finally shook his head and said, "This is not Kunpeng's tone."
Kunpeng is the Minister of the Qingxiao Treasure Realm. His authority in the Qingxiao Treasure Realm is second only to Dijun. Moreover, he is now one of the Six Saints of the North Pole appointed by the Heavenly Court. It is absolutely impossible for him to speak to Fang Jian in such a tone.
"Holding a vegetarian banquet? Not interested!" Fang Jian shook his head. He didn't care who had sent the jade slip and used his magical power to write five words at the end of the slip: "Not interested, not going."
Then he sent the jade slip back along the traces it came from, and then began to sit in meditation.
On the fourth day, Fang Jian woke up from his trance at the sound of a gentle call, and then asked outside the cloud tent, "What's the matter?"
Then a voice came in: "Respectful Master Hongqing, Patriarch Hongyun wants to see you."
It turned out to be the heavenly general guarding the prison. "See me? What's the matter?" Fang Jian asked.
The general replied, "I don't know either, but Patriarch Hongyun suddenly went mad and insisted on seeing you."
"Crazy?" Fang Jian was slightly startled when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked out of the cloud tent. "Let's go."
Not long after, Fang Jian arrived at the prison, and indeed saw that Old Ancestor Hongyun was in a trance, with his primordial spirit and three souls and seven spirits completely out of place.
Fang Jian only took one look and felt his eyes blurry. He quickly closed his eyes, then opened them again, but the same thing happened...
At this moment, the spirit of the ancestor Hongyun was sitting cross-legged on the bronze pillar, while his three souls and seven spirits were scattered around the spirit. From a distance, it looked like ten shadows, and these ten shadows were still shaking, and even making shrill screams.
Fang Jianzhi calmed his mind and immediately used his magic power to focus his attention on the soul of the Red Cloud Ancestor. Then he stepped forward and said, "Hongyun, you want to see me?"
The soul of the Red Cloud Patriarch immediately opened his eyes and looked towards Fang Jian. His eyes revealed an expression of exhaustion and tortured madness.
"Master Hongqing!" The soul of the Red Cloud Patriarch trembled as he spoke, "Kill me! Kill me now!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately said, "Kill you? No, the Immortal Execution Platform isn't built yet. You have to wait another day."
"Wait another day?" A look of despair and torment flashed in the eyes of the Red Cloud Patriarch. "I can't wait even a moment longer. Kill me right now."
"No means no. Heaven has its own rules. How can you just kill someone if you want to?" Fang Jian said with an unhappy look on his face.
Patriarch Hongyun said, "Then take this thing you sent into my soul away. I can't stand it any more. I'm going crazy! He keeps reciting... keeps reciting... Article 1 of the "Heavenly Laws: Laws for Immortal Officials": All immortal officials shall not accept lawsuits from the people. Those who violate this will be punished by Lei Ze for nine years... He's still reciting..."
As Patriarch Hongyun spoke, he followed the voice in his soul and recited the Heavenly Rules.
"No matter what I do, I can't stop him. He always makes me hear these things in the clearest way. I'm going crazy. My soul is upside down and scattered... Article 2 of the "Heavenly Law: Immortal Official Law": Immortal officials may not accept sacrifices from the people unless they observe the eight festivals of heaven and earth. Violators will be punished by Lei Ze for nine years."
"...Take it away!"
At this moment, Patriarch Hongyun has become crazy and is on the verge of collapse.
Even Fang Jian was secretly shocked. After all, the soul of Ancestor Hongyun was at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, but he didn't expect that he would be tortured into this state after four days of being tortured by the Tianlu Golden Banner.
"It's a pity that it can only be used on those who are suppressed and unable to fight back. If it can be used in a fight, it would be powerful." But Fang Jian just thought so. If he really refined this Tianlu Golden Banner to the level of Taihuang Bell, the Taoist energy required would be an astronomical figure for him.
Hearing Hong Yun's pleading and frantic cries, Fang Jian said with a smile, "This Heavenly Law Golden Banner can help you quickly understand and recognize the Heavenly Law. It's such a good thing that I can't bear to use it myself, so don't take advantage of your age. Besides, this Heavenly Law Golden Banner is incomparably precious, and listening to the Heavenly Law is a wonderful thing! Okay, you can listen slowly. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, Fang Jian left the prison without looking back, and told the heavenly generals guarding the prison, "No matter what he says, ignore him."
"Obey the order." The heavenly generals responded in unison.
...
'Dong' 'Dong' 'Dong'
Three thunder drum sounds shook the Jueyunling base inside and outside. The dark clouds in the sky were also shaken away by the sound of the thunder drums, revealing a deep blue sky.
A gigantic Immortal-Slaying Platform with a radius of 490 zhang stands outside Jueyun Ridge. Towering into the clouds, the Platform is engraved with thunder talismans, divine statues, divination texts, thunder scriptures, and spells, and emits a dazzling golden light.
Three thousand eight hundred magic flags were planted on every corner of the Immortal Execution Platform from top to bottom. One hundred and fifty thousand heavenly soldiers, dressed in armor and holding magic weapons, filled every step from top to bottom, from left to right, from front to back, and extended all the way to Jueyun Ridge.
Fang Jian also changed into his fourth-grade immortal official robe after a long time. Because he used to wear the Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe, he didn't need to wear an official robe.
However, the Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe had been damaged in the last battle at Fenggouyuan. Today he had to preside over the execution of the Heavenly Law and punish all the rebels. It would be totally inappropriate for him to wear a Taoist robe in such a formal occasion.
So he changed into his own immortal official robe, a fourth-rank immortal official robe, which was a green robe with a crane patch.
The base color of the official robe is sky blue, and the patch is a crane flapping its wings and soaring into the clouds, riding the wind.
"The time has come!"
Fang Jian placed his hands on the jade belt of his official robe at his waist, looked up at the towering Immortal Execution Platform and said.
