Three days after Fang Jian decreed the second Hongqing Jade Law, he came out of seclusion.
Fang Jian was surprised to find Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang waiting outside his temple. He thought something big had happened and asked hurriedly, "Two Daoist friends, what happened?"
"Hongqing Zhenjun." Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang each took out a talisman and handed it to Fang Jian, saying, "This is the secret about the devil path that I, the Daluo of the Taoist and Buddhist sects, have seen recently while sorting out the secrets of the heavens."
"Oh?" Fang Jian took the two talismans, unfolded them, and took a look. He immediately said with astonishment, "The devil's way violates the laws of heaven? How is that possible? Isn't it the destiny of heaven that the true devils of the outer ways will enter the world?"
Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang were also completely baffled. Bixia Yuanjun said, "This is strange to me too. The entry of demons from other sects into the world is a natural destiny of Heaven. Even the Heavenly Laws contain laws regarding demonic ways. So why did they suddenly, inexplicably, violate Heavenly Law?"
The Peacock King said, "This is indeed unbelievable."
Fang Jian glanced at the two of them, then asked, "Could it be that a certain Daluo has moved the heavens?"
"Impossible." Bixia Yuanjun and Peacock King said in unison.
Bixia Yuanjun then said, "True Lord Hongqing, you must understand that the entry of the true demons of the outer sects into the world is the destiny of Heaven. This means that Heaven permits their entry. Even the newly revised 'Heavenly Laws' have already written down the laws regarding the demonic path. Regardless of whether the demonic path recognizes the Heavenly Laws or not, this means that the Heavenly Court, Taoism, and Buddhism in the present world have indirectly acknowledged this outcome. The destiny of Heaven is the general trend, which cannot be changed or resisted."
Then the Peacock King continued Bixia Yuanjun's words and said, "This means that there is a power that can oppose the destiny of the Heavenly Dao, or in other words, a power of the same level as the Heavenly Dao can change this destiny. This is absolutely not something that Daluo can do. Even the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Dao Ancestor, and the Tathagata Buddha would find it difficult to do so."
Fang Jian nodded slightly and said, "Then is there another possibility? Right now, the Jade Emperor, the Daoist Ancestor, and the Buddha are all in the Three Pure Ones Realm, determining the calamity and performing the Dao. Could it be that their combined deductions have altered the destiny of the Heavenly Dao?"
"This..." Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang looked at each other, and after pondering for a while, they said, "If the Great Celestial Venerable, Daozu, and Buddha join forces, this is possible."
Fang Jian handed back the two talismans and said with a smile, "Then it's not surprising. Besides, isn't this change very helpful for us to deal with the demons?"
"That's true." The Peacock King said, "Once the existence of the demons in the world violates the laws of heaven, then we won't have to be so cautious when dealing with them.
Just as the three were talking, Shi Ling, the central general in charge of guarding Tongtian Palace, suddenly came over.
"Shi Ling pays homage to the True Lord Hongqing, the Yuan Lord Bixia, and the Great Peacock King." Shi Ling bowed.
Fang Jian looked at Shi Ling and asked, "What's going on in Tongtian Palace?"
Shi Ling reported, "Reporting to True Lord Hongqing, something happened to Chen Jiantang."
"Hmm?" Fang Jian's face turned serious. He exchanged glances with Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang, then raised his hand and said, "Let's go."
A moment later, Fang Jian and the other two arrived at the Tongtian Palace, while Tota Heavenly King and others were already there.
"What's going on?" Fang Jian asked as soon as he entered the hall.
When Tota Heavenly King heard Fang Jian's question, he immediately reported, "Master Hongqing, Chen Jiantang has been arrested."
"He was arrested?" Fang Jian asked, "How did you find out?"
"A reply from the Zhoutian Golden Plate." Taoist Golden Immortal Chu Shang handed the reply note from the Zhoutian Golden Plate to Fang Jian and said, "True Lord Hongqing, this is the message from the golden talisman in the hands of Heavenly General Chen Jiantang."
Fang Jian raised his hand and took the musical note, then immersed his mind in it and took a look. Immediately, Fang Jian frowned, because the note only had one sentence: "Who are you?"
If this message was sent by Chen Jiantang, he would never have asked this question.
Fang Jian immediately asked Bixia Yuanjun, "Fellow Daoist, can anyone other than Chen Jiantang use the golden talisman?"
Bixia Yuanjun nodded and said, "Yes, that's the flaw. The golden talisman isn't a binding magic weapon. Besides me, anyone else who injects magic power into it can also transmit messages to us."
"Then can this Zhoutian Golden Plate locate the position of the golden talisman?" Fang Jian asked again.
Bixia Yuanjun shook her head and said, "No."
Upon hearing this answer, Fang Jian paused in silence. After a moment, he spoke, "I can locate the Crossing World Dial, but I need to inject mana into it from there. That's why I sent Chen Jiantang there. Unfortunately, it seems he was captured just after entering the lower realm, before he could use the Dial to help me locate it."
The entire Three Realms is very large. For example, in the original unified heavens, the realm where the Earth Realm is located is a small thousand universe.
Each of the heavens contained in the lower realms is a small thousand universe. Theoretically, any small thousand universe is infinitely large, and it is difficult to measure its size even with a celestial ruler.
And it is extremely difficult to locate a world in such a vast area under the influence of the great calamity.
However, the cross-boundary instrument can help determine the direction and distance. As long as you know its direction, you will have a clear goal and it will be easy to find the lower realm.
"Master Hongqing." Chu Shang asked Fang Jian, "Should we reply?"
The Barefoot Immortal said, "Since True Lord Hongqing can use the Crossing World Dial to locate the world below, why not reply to them and lure them into injecting their magic power into the Crossing World Dial? This way, True Lord Hongqing can locate the world below."
