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 ...
"Stupid." Fang Jian looked at Lu Fengxian and said, "Then you can tear down my statue and erect another one."
Lu Fengxian immediately asked, "Excuse me, Immortal Venerable, whose statue should be erected? Or please give me your instructions."
Fang Jian pondered for a moment, then said, "Erect a statue of the Five Imperial Gods, but don't use the word 'religious' in the name of 'temple' anymore. Instead, it should be a temple dedicated to the Five Imperial Gods. It should only be used for worship, and it won't bear any responsibility for spreading the teachings or teachings."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fengxian immediately understood and bowed, saying, "I will obey your orders."
At this time, Fang Jian looked at Hei Haier standing aside and said, "You go with Lu Fengxian. No matter how many altars I have, you must personally supervise their demolition."
The black boy bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, sir."
Afterwards, in all the realms under the jurisdiction of Huntian Prefecture, all the temples with the statue of Fang Jian were converted into temples, and the statues of Fang Jian were all demolished and replaced with statues of the Five Imperial Emperors.
In addition, Lu Fengxian informed all believers of the origins of the Five Imperial Emperors, and distributed the Five Imperial Emperors' precious edicts and scriptures for free in every temple.
Moreover, Lu Fengxian clearly told all believers that Heaven is not a religion and does not preach. As long as they worship the Five Great Emperors frequently, they can receive the protection of Heaven and the Hun Tianfu.
In this action of changing temples and gods, Arnold, the former godfather of the Church of Light, played a crucial role. Now Arnold has changed his previous attire as the godfather of the Church of Light and turned into a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe.
Therefore, after Lü Fengxian requested Fang Jian, Arnold was officially appointed as the first "abbot" of the "Five Imperial Temples" in the Jinliubao Realm.
"Abbot" is a Taoist term. Quanzhen Taoist scriptures state: "The Abbot is the master of the human and heavenly sects, the Grand Master who saves the world, who expounds the righteous Dharma of Longmen, who holds up the compassionate ship in the sea of suffering, who serves as the model of Quanzhen and the guide of the Vinaya sect. Without a master of the Dao, he cannot be established."
Cheng Xuanying's commentary on Zhuangzi's Tianxia says: "Fang means Tao."
"The Book of Rites of the Great Dai" says: "Zhang means length."
Taoists often say: "The heart of man is square, the heart of heaven is square."
Therefore, the highest leader in Taoist temples and Taoist monasteries is called "abbot". Later, Buddhism also adopted this title, and the leader in Buddhist temples is either called "abbot" or "host".
But generally speaking, Taoism and Buddhism fought with each other and also learned from each other, so there was a deep mutual reference and integration between the two.
After dealing with the matter of the statue, Lu Fengxian handed over the management of all believers to Arnold, and taught him the most basic Qi training technique for human monks in the world of Yamabu. As long as Arnold works hard enough, this Qi training technique will be enough for him to cultivate to the Yangshen realm.
...
Another five days later, in the Hunyi Palace.
Lü Fengxian was reporting to Fang Jian on the current situation of Huntian Prefecture, "...Now, our Huntian Prefecture has already annihilated the Bright Light Cult, and now governs nineteen worlds, with over 1.974 billion souls."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Select seventeen individuals from the Heavenly Guards with outstanding cultivation, character, and abilities. I will appoint them as the Divine Lords of the remaining seventeen Heavenly Realms."
"Yes." Lu Fengxian accepted the order respectfully.
Fang Jian then added, "Also, all realms must install the 'Golden Jade Screen'. All installations must be completed within ten days, without any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fengxian said, "Immortal Lord, why not have the selected Divine Lords take the Golden Liu Shadow Wall with them to the various heavens for placement when they take up their posts?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Okay."
After Lu Fengxian left, Fang Jian had an idea and saw two demonic shadows suddenly appear above the Hunyi Hall, which was shrouded in the mysterious light of the Jade Law. Then the Six Desires Demon and the Seven Emotions Demon, covered in demonic light, slowly fell into the hall.
"Greetings to the Immortal Venerable Hongqing." The two demons knelt down and bowed, their faces full of despair.
Fang Jian smiled faintly, then said to the two demons, "Come forward."
The two demons had no power to resist. The moment they heard Fang Jian's words, they stood up and walked quickly up the steps, then knelt down in front of Fang Jian.
Then Fang Jian raised his right hand, formed a sword finger and pointed it at the eyebrows of the Six Desires Demon and the Seven Emotions Demon. A mysterious light seal flashed at the eyebrows of the two demons. Then Fang Jian pinched the magic formula with his hands, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice "The Jade Law Chapter" of "Hongqing Taoist Scripture".
The next moment, Fang Jian's body was surrounded by a mysterious light that illuminated the souls and bodies of the Six Desire Demons and the Seven Emotions Demons. Under the illumination of Fang Jian's jade law mysterious light, the Six Desire Demons and the Seven Emotions Demons were also undergoing tremendous changes. Especially the mysterious light that Fang Jian had just enlightened at their brows was also shining brightly.
Finally, when Fang Jian collected his Taoist magic and restrained the Jade Law Mysterious Light, a shining mysterious light seal suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of the Six Desire Demon and the Seven Emotions Demon. This was the Jade Law Mysterious Light seal.
Then Fang Jian restrained all the outward Jade Law Mysterious Light, but the Six Desire Demons and the Seven Emotions Demons still did not regain their freedom. This was because of the Mysterious Light Seal between their eyebrows. This Mysterious Light Seal was branded on their souls and would accompany them for the rest of their lives.
In other words, even if they were not by Fang Jian's side, even if they were a million miles away, even if they were separated by hundreds of heavenly realms, as long as they had this mysterious light seal, they would still be dominated by Fang Jian, and only by the annihilation of both their soul and body could they be freed.
The entire process of branding the Xuan Fu lasted for three hours. This was also the reason why Fang Jian did not brand the Xuan Fu as soon as he caught the second demon, because he did not have that much time.
"The six desire demons and the seven emotion demons, listen to my orders." Fang Jian shouted.
The Six Desire Demons and the Seven Emotions Demons immediately bowed their heads and said, "Your subordinates are here."
Fang Jianyan said, "I order the two of you to immediately proceed to the Unified Heavens. Search the myriad realms day and night, searching for Yahweh's traces. Report any sightings to me immediately! During your journey, you must constantly restrain your demonic energy and not allow it to spread and harass sentient beings. If you encounter a true demon from another sect or one stronger than you, you must prioritize your own safety and not act without authorization."
Fang Jian's last few words were not about "concern" for the two demons, but about being afraid that they would deliberately seek death. You must know that the true demons of the outside path are born in response to the will of heaven. Even if their souls and bodies are destroyed, they can be born again in response to the will of heaven in just tens of millions of years. It's just that their souls and bodies will change every time, but the demon is still the same demon.
That's why Fang Jian gave them a separate order to let them actively avoid the external demons and those who are stronger than them, because he was afraid that they would deliberately seek death to escape the control of Fang Jian Yulu Xuanguang.
And as the master of Yulu Xuanguang, they could not disobey Fang Jian's orders.
So the two demons looked bitter, but their bodies bowed smoothly and said, "I will obey the command of the law!"
Then the two demons instantly turned into two beams of magic light and flew out of the Huntian Palace. In the blink of an eye, they flew out of the Jinliubao Realm and flew straight into the vast and boundless Huntian Heavens.
