Although the other four people did not receive the favor of the Queen Mother of the West, they were either enlightened by Taoism or granted titles by the Heavenly Court, so they were "neutral" in the Heavenly Court and slightly leaned towards the Queen Mother of the West.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian already had an idea in his mind. Since he couldn't get the Five Elders of the Five Directions to stand on his side, then preventing them from standing on the side of the Queen Mother of the West would be considered a success.
Then Fang Jian stood up, turned into a ray of mysterious light and flew out of Taisu Palace. Not long after, Fang Jian appeared outside the majestic and solemn Taiwei Yuqing Palace.
The celestial generals on duty outside the Taiwei Yuqing Palace saw Fang Jian appear and hurried forward to pay their respects. Fang Jian smiled and said, "Stand up."
The celestial generals stood up as ordered, and then Fang Jian said, "Go and report immediately. This emperor has come to see the Jade Emperor."
The leading celestial general was a spiritual official. When he heard Fang Jian's words, he immediately nodded and accepted the order, then turned around and quickly entered the Taiwei Yuqing Palace.
Not long after, a fragrant breeze wafted out from the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, followed by fairy flowers falling from the sky. The fairy Jinghuan, a servant of the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, dressed in the robes of an immortal official and holding a whisk in her hand, walked out of the Taiwei Yuqing Palace gracefully.
"I am Jinghuan, a servant of the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, and I am here to pay my respects to the Great Emperor Hongqing." Fairy Jinghuan walked out of the palace gate with the fairies, came to Fang Jian, and bowed their heads in worship.
Fang Jian opened his mouth and offered him a rest. Fairy Jinghuan bowed in thanks and stood up. Then she said to Fang Jian, "Your Highness, the Great Emperor Hongqing, the Jade Emperor knows that you are coming to see him and has taken his seat in the Pixiang Hall. He has specially sent me here to invite you to an audience."
After saying this, Fairy Jinghuan turned around and led the way, while the fairies surrounded Fang Jian on both sides and behind him.
Led by Fairy Jinghuan, Fang Jian entered the Taiwei Yuqing Palace. Along the way, fairies scattered flowers and fairy music played in the air, which was very grand. This shows that the current Jade Emperor relies on Fang Jian.
After passing through numerous palaces and corridors, Fang Jian finally arrived outside the Pixiang Hall. After Fairy Jinghuan entered the hall to report, her clear voice was heard from inside: "The Jade Emperor has decreed that the Great Emperor Taisu Daozhen Zhongtian Doushu Xuantian Puhua Lingxiao Zhifu be summoned to the Pixiang Hall for an audience."
Fang Jian shouted loudly: "I obey your order."
Fang Jian then stepped into the Pixiang Hall, lowered his head and walked to the center of the hall, then bowed and said, "Your Highness Fang Jian, I pay my respects to the Jade Emperor."
The Jade Emperor was also wearing his usual attire today, a white jade Taoist robe. He smiled delightedly upon seeing Fang Jian, "Great Emperor Hongqing, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up."
Fang Jian thanked him and stood up. Then the Jade Emperor pointed to the jade throne beside him and said, "Great Emperor Hongqing, please sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Great Lord, for granting me a seat." Fang Jian bowed in thanks, then walked to the jade throne and sat down cross-legged.
As soon as Fang Jian took his seat, fairies came forward to offer him spiritual tea, immortal fruits, and immortal treasures, while the Jade Emperor said, "Congratulations to Great Emperor Hongqing for obtaining this great opportunity of Primordial Chaos Qi. If Great Emperor Hongqing can obtain this opportunity and attain the Hunyuan Dao Fruit in the future, it will be a blessing for the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms."
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Thank you, Great Celestial Venerable. Assisting you in stabilizing the Three Realms and educating all living beings is my wish."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's smile deepened. He took a sip of tea and then asked Fang Jian, "Great Emperor Hongqing has come to see me today. Is there something important?"
Fang Jian said, "Your Majesty, after I obtained the 'Primordial Qi of Chaos,' I used all my merits to pray to the Heavenly Dao to refine the Primordial Qi into six 'Daluo Golden Pills.'"
"What?!" The Jade Emperor was shocked when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and waved to Fairy Jinghuan.
Fairy Jinghuan bowed, then waved her hand and led all the fairies in the hall out. Then she closed the hall door and stood guard outside the Pixiang Hall herself.
Only the Jade Emperor and Fang Jian were left in the hall. The Jade Emperor then spoke, "Great Emperor Hongqing, why are you so angry? You're already a Daluo Golden Immortal. If you can use Primordial Chaos Qi to open your profound acupoints, you'll easily obtain the Hunyuan Dao Fruit in the future. Why are you refining it into the Daluo Golden Pill? The Daluo Golden Pill is undoubtedly a precious elixir, but you shouldn't trade it for the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Thank you, Great Celestial Venerable, for your concern. However, I believe that the power of Heaven is still a little insufficient to manage the entire Three Realms. Therefore, I made this decision to enhance the strength of Heaven."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor was immediately surprised and asked, "Could it be that you intend to bestow these Daluo Golden Pills upon the various emperors in the Heavenly Court? To help them attain the Daluo Dao Fruit?"
"That's right." Fang Jian said, "I have already given one of the Daluo Golden Pills to the Great Emperor Zhenwu."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor sighed deeply and said, "What Haotian God said is correct. Great Emperor Hongqing is truly dedicated to serving the public, loyal to the Heavenly Court, and has the Three Realms in mind."
Fang Jianyan said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, your praise is unmerited. I am only doing my duty."
The Jade Emperor was extremely shocked. Fang Jian used all his merits to petition the Heaven to transform the Chaos Source Qi into six Daluo Golden Pills, and he didn't leave them for his disciples to use. Even though he had experienced countless tribulations and done a lot of good deeds, he couldn't help but admire this selfless act.
Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor looked at Fang Jian and said, "Then you came to see me, are you here to arrange a place for the remaining five Daluo Golden Pills?"
"That's right." Fang Jian handed the remaining five Daluo Golden Pills to the Jade Emperor and said, "I believe that these five Daluo Golden Pills should be bestowed upon the Five Elders by the Jade Emperor."
Looking at the five Daluo Golden Pills wrapped in mysterious light in front of him, and hearing what Fang Jian said, the Jade Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Fang Jian's words.
