"Speaking of which," Nezha said, sweeping his gaze over the people in the hall, "among the four of us, how many of us have the knowledge to discuss the Dao with the sages of Taoism and Buddhism?"
Everyone's eyes first turned to Fang Jian. Fang Jian coughed, then bowed and said, "My three fellow Taoists, please chat slowly. Fang Jian will take his leave."
After saying this, Fang Jian transformed into a ray of mysterious light and disappeared into the Supreme Jade Spirit Palace.
Nezha immediately sneered and pointed at Fang Jian's position, saying, "He's no good. I heard that his level was very poor when he was in the Cave God Hall. A knowledgeable old man told me that someone almost failed to graduate from the Cave God Hall."
"What about you?" Erlang Shen asked Nezha.
Nezha laughed heartily and said, "Erlang Shen, have you forgotten? When I, Nezha, became a god, the Cave God Hall wasn't even a place for assessing immortal officials."
"I mean, what is your level of Taoism?" Erlang Shen asked again.
Nezha was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "At least he's a little bit stronger than Fang Jian, right?"
"What about you?" Nezha quickly countered, "How are you?"
Erlang Shen looked at Nezha with a faint smile. Sun Wukong beside him said, "Are you stupid? He often discusses the Dao and debates with those Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist sect. How can his realm be inferior?"
When Nezha heard this, he immediately said with a bored look on his face: "You are so good at everything, people like you are really boring."
If we were to ask which of the Four Emperors of Lingxiao is the "most perfect" god, it would definitely be Erlang Shen. He has high morals, good looks, great martial arts skills, high status, and now he also has a high level of Taoism. He is simply a living protagonist.
"Master Dingxiang, Fellow Daoist Lei Zhenzi, Fellow Daoist Zuqing, Fellow Daoist Zuti, and Fellow Daoist Di Qing."
Xun Kuang, the newly appointed Taixuan Dulu, sat in the main hall, looking at the five immortal officials of the Ministry of Thunder and said, "The Divine Thunder Jade Palace has submitted your meritorious deeds to the Taishi Immortal Capital, and Emperor Hongqing has approved it. You five fellow Taoists are the first group of immortal officials of the Ministry of Thunder to be promoted to 'True Gods' and incorporated into the Heavenly Court as Heavenly Judges."
Upon hearing this, the five Thunder Department immortal officials were immediately excited, and Xun Kuang continued, "The Taishi Immortal has notified my Divine Sky Jade Palace to send you official uniforms and robes, as well as golden elixirs to enhance your cultivation."
After saying that, Xunzi ordered the five immortal officials behind him to hold a jade plate and present it to the five immortal officials of the Thunder Department.
The five of them immediately bowed in the direction of Taisu Palace to express their gratitude, and then took the jade plate from the immortal official in front of them.
At this time, Xun Kuang said again: "The five fellow Taoists can go back to seclusion and take the golden elixir to improve their cultivation. After they are successfully promoted, they can go to Taisu Palace to be formally conferred."
"Yes." The five immortal officials of the Thunder Department bowed in unison.
At the same time, Fang Jian directly merged the Dongshen Hall into the jurisdiction of Taishi Xiandu. The Dongshen Hall no longer undertook the task of training immortal officials, but became an institution under the jurisdiction of Taishi Xiandu.
When Xun Kuang announced the imperial edict to the five immortal officials of the Ministry of Thunder, the Eighth Lord of the Cave God Hall, the "Cave God Affairs" also came to the "Heavenly Court" which had just been established under the jurisdiction of the Divine Thunder Jade Palace.
Although the candidate for the current head of the Heavenly Court has not yet been decided, the Heavenly Judges have already been decided, and they are basically all the original immortals from the Thunder Department.
Since the abolition of the Heavenly Court, the immortals in the Thunder Department have the most thorough understanding of the Heavenly Laws and Regulations in the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to let the immortals from the Thunder Department serve as the judges of heaven at this stage.
"Huh? Isn't this Fellow Daoist Ba Gong?" Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Court, Thunder God Feng Lun looked at Ba Gong as he entered the hall and said with a smile, "Why are you here in my Divine Thunder Jade Mansion instead of teaching in the Cave God Hall?"
Ba Gong smiled faintly and said, "Don't you think the Thunder God knows that I haven't taught in the Cave God Hall for a long time? Besides, you are the chief god of the Thunder Department. What are you doing here in the Heavenly Court?"
Feng Lun smiled and said, "Nothing special. The Emperor Qitian ordered me to temporarily take charge of the Heavenly Court."
Ba Gong bowed and smiled, "It seems that the Emperor Qi Tian really holds the Thunder God in high esteem."
"Haha." Thunder God Feng Lun walked out from behind the desk and said to Ba Gong, "Daoyou, you came from Taishi Xiandu, following the decree of Emperor Hongqing, right?"
"That's right." Hachiko nodded.
Upon hearing this, Thunder God Feng Lun immediately wanted to leave the palace to listen to the imperial edict, but Ba Gong said, "Thunder God, there is no need to do so. This edict is specifically for General Jiutian Thunder God."
"Oh?" Feng Lun heard that this imperial edict was specifically for Lei Zhenzi, so he asked, "What is it?"
Ba Gong directly handed the imperial edict to Feng Lun. Feng Lun took it, glanced at it, and then said, "Dongfang Cangtian establishes the Tianfa Division, and Lei Zhenzi is the Si Ming?"
"That's right." Ba Gong said, "Emperor Hongqing wants to first establish the Tianfa Division in Dongbei Biantian and Dongfang Cangtian. There's no rush for Dongbei Biantian. The Tianfa Division in Dongfang Cangtian will be headed by Lei Zhenzi, a person personally appointed by Emperor Hongqing."
Feng Lun heard this and said seriously, "I understand, but Lei Zhenzi is currently in seclusion to improve his cultivation."
"No rush." Ba Gong said with a smile, "I will be responsible for delivering this imperial edict. You, the Heavenly Court, should make whatever preparations are necessary. This imperial edict is just a formality."
Feng Lun suddenly understood, and immediately took the imperial edict and nodded, saying, "I understand. Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."
Hachiko bowed and said, "Goodbye."
The eastern sky, Hongqing Temple, Hongqing Pavilion.
A golden light fell from the sky and landed straight on the square outside Hongqing Pavilion. When the golden light dissipated, Guan Yu and Xu Hongyuan appeared one after another in the eyes of Zhe Yu and others.
Guan Yu and Xu Hongyuan came down from the East Gate of Daluo Heaven, because Fang Jian had already ordered Zhou Tianxingjun to temporarily open up the boundary gates at the four major gates, so they could go down to the corresponding directions of the Eight Directions World from the four major gates.
