At this moment, the two of them had just put down their wine cups when they saw Fang Jian's gaze fall on them. They were suddenly startled and even their bodies became stiff at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist Li Zong, Fellow Daoist Lian Yun." Fang Jian called out with a smile.
Li Zong and Lian Yun quickly stood up and saluted Fang Jian. Fang Jian immediately raised his hand and said, "Please sit down. This is a celebration banquet. Please don't be so formal, fellow Taoists."
"How dare I accept the Immortal Venerable's title of 'Daoyou'?" Lian Yun's lips trembled with excitement. "I, the Immortal Venerable, will never forget your kindness in saving and protecting me."
Li Zong even said, "The Immortal Venerable intimidated the heretic demons and destroyed the Bright Cult, avenging the deep blood feud of our Illusion Clan. From now on, our Dragon Light Realm Illusion Clan will forever be loyal to Heaven and to the Hun Tian Mansion!"
Fang Jian nodded and smiled, "You two Daoists are very understanding and loyal. I, Huntian Mansion, will never treat you and your clan unfairly."
After saying this, Fang Jian immediately issued an edict, saying, "Li Zong and Lian Yun, come forward to receive your titles."
The two men's expressions changed when they heard this. They immediately stood up and walked out of the jade table. They walked all the way to the center of the hall and bowed in unison, "Here we are!"
Fang Jian presented two imperial edicts to the two men and said, "In the name of the Immortal Venerable of Hun Tianfu, I decree that Li Zong be the Divine Lord of the Longguang Realm, in charge of all affairs of the Longguang Realm. I decree that Lian Yun be the Divine Lord of the Yihua Realm, in charge of all affairs of the Yihua Realm. I will now use my imperial edicts to confirm the two divine positions. Later, the Heavenly Court will grant official documents."
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the two of them looked up at Fang Jian in disbelief. Although they didn't know what the position of "God Lord" was, being in charge of all matters in Longguang Realm or Yihua Realm meant that Fang Jian had given them the authority to dominate an entire world!
The two men quickly prostrated themselves on the ground, saying with deep fear and trepidation, "Please, Immortal Venerable, take back our lives. We have not achieved any great merit, so how dare we rule the world alone?"
The two of them were clear-headed. Those heavenly soldiers and generals hadn't ruled a single world, so why should they? Wouldn't that justify envy? So they genuinely declined, not just pretending.
Fang Jian could see what the two were thinking, so he smiled and said, "I came here to unify the heavens with only these heavenly soldiers and generals, and now I still feel short of manpower. When I take charge of the world, I will naturally need your help. I hope you two fellow Taoists will not refuse."
After hearing this, Li Zong and Lian Yun also understood. Fang Jian's meaning was very clear. Those heavenly soldiers and generals followed me to fight in all directions, and it was impossible for them to take charge of a world. You have to do this kind of administrative position.
At this time, Fang Jian said again: "From now on, I will need the support of the two Taoist friends. If you don't mind, please accept the order."
Upon hearing this, Li Zong stopped refusing and took the imperial edict with his hand, saying, "I, Li Zong, respectfully accept the Immortal Lord's command!"
However, when it was Lian Yun's turn, she was still very conflicted. The reason was simple: Li Zong was the patriarch of the Illusion Clan, numbering over seven million people in the Dragon Light Realm. He wielded immense power, and even if he hadn't initially chosen a side, he would still be a target for the Huntian Palace to win over.
But what about her? She only had the dozens of lotus demon sisters in Youxuan Lake. Their cultivation was still low, not even a True Immortal. Just like what those demon disciples had said before, they were only fit to be playthings for the strong.
Therefore, she was already deeply grateful to be invited to attend the celebration banquet of Hun Tian Mansion. How could she dare to take on the position of the Lord of Yihua Realm without knowing her own limitations?
"Why, Fellow Daoist Lianyun, don't you look down on the position of Divine Lord?" Fang Jian's voice came down from the steps.
Lianyun trembled all over when she heard this, and quickly raised her head in fear, but when she looked up, she saw Fang Jian's smiling face, and then she realized that what she had just said was a joke.
Lian Yun took a deep breath, then bowed and said, "Immortal Venerable, Lian Yun's cultivation is shallow, and her achievements are insignificant. I am not qualified to be the Divine Lord of the Yihua Realm. Please choose someone else who is wise and virtuous. I am deeply grateful for your kindness."
Fang Jian laughed when he heard this and said, "A thousand gold coins are enough to buy horse bones. The position of the Divine Lord of Yihua Realm must belong to you."
Lianyun didn't know the story of the horse bones sold for a fortune, but the generals in the hall all understood. They all said to Lianyun, "Fellow Daoist Lianyun, the Immortal Venerable has said so. Don't be so humble and accept the decree."
"I am very optimistic about you becoming the God of Yihua Realm." Wude Star Lord also spoke.
The giant spirit said, "Hurry up and accept the imperial edict. Once you have accepted it, quickly express your gratitude and take your seat so we can continue drinking."
Even Li Zong advised, "Fellow Daoist Lianyun, please accept the imperial edict. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to accept it."
Lianyun listened to the advice of the heavenly generals around her and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She had never felt so valued before. This feeling was very warm and happy. Now she would be willing to die immediately.
After a moment, Lian Yun wiped away her tears, then took the talisman with both hands, and then kowtowed to Fang Jian and said, "Subordinate Lian Yun, I respectfully accept the Immortal Lord's order."
Afterwards, Li Zong and Lian Yun kowtowed to Fang Jian to express their gratitude, then stood up and returned to their seats and sat down.
The scene was filled with joy and happiness. Lu Fengxian raised his wine cup and said to the seven Buddhist monks standing across from him, "You seven masters have boundless magical powers. You intercepted and killed the five Taiyi Golden Immortals sent by the Myriad Gods Cult to the Bright Cult. I truly admire you. I offer you a toast to apologize for my previous disrespectful behavior towards you seven masters."
When these seven monks were brought to Hundian Palace to work as laborers, Lu Fengxian heard from Tang Yu that these seven people had surrounded and killed Fang Jian, so Lu Fengxian was very rude to them and would cause trouble for them from time to time.
Now Fang Jian has subdued the Seven Monks and is making use of them. Moreover, when the Seven Monks were attacking the Church of Light in the room, they intercepted the reinforcements sent by the Church of All Gods to support the Church of Light and killed the five leading Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Church of All Gods. Therefore, they are also at the celebration banquet at this moment.
