But Fang Jian remained calm.
How could he not have thought of this?
Put the central treasury of Tianshi Mansion under my control. Haha, the whole East Land has become so desolate and barren. There is no way there are any treasures in the treasury.
The diplomacy of Tianshi Mansion. Tianshi Mansion is now compressed and besieged on the East Land by the outer demons and the Haolan Realm Temple. It uses the earth veins and earth energy to form a formation to protect itself. What kind of diplomacy can it have?
It seemed that the two positions were merged and given to Fang Jian, but in fact they were just two nominal positions, with the central government's mascots hung high up.
However, Fang Jian gladly accepted it. The reason was very simple. It didn't matter if it was just an empty position. What he wanted was the authority and reputation of these two positions, which was enough.
After arranging Fang Jianyang's position, everyone started to talk about business.
"I've heard from our old master, Master, that our Heavenly Master's House now occupies the Eastern Continent, while the Divine King Group and that foreigner occupy the Western Continent. Our Heavenly Master's successive generations of heroes and valiant men have attempted to break through from the outer realm, but this has had minimal success. Since the death of the previous Grand Heavenly Master, our Heavenly Master's House has retreated to the Eastern Continent, and we've lost six Grand Heavenly Masters, fifteen Assistant Heavenly Masters, and countless more outstanding disciples."
When Liu Zhaoye said this, the entire Dragon and Tiger Hall fell silent, and one could even hear a faint sobbing sound.
Fang Jian turned his head and saw that it was Liu who was crying. She must have remembered that she had asked her husband for help.
"Fortunately, the heavens have not abandoned our Tianshi Mansion." Liu Zhaoye said this, pointing at Fang Jian and saying, "The Heavenly Court has sent Master Hongqing. I believe that soon the Heavenly Court army and the four ancestral Tianshi will be able to descend on the Haolan Realm to wipe out the demonic rebellion in one fell swoop and restore order to the universe."
"So I think that our Tianshi Mansion should continue to adhere to the central government's resolution two years ago, continue to develop internal strength, stabilize the situation in Donglu, and wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Army." Liu Zhaoye said.
Fang Jian heard this and said, "Master Liu, I see that the formation above my head is draining the energy of the Eastern Continent's veins over time to sustain itself. I'm afraid it won't last many more years."
Liu Zhaoye said, "We have already looked into this. The entire Donglu Central Earth Veins and Earth Qi can still sustain the protective formation for five years. These five years are more than enough."
Fang Jian was surprised and asked, "Oh? Why is five years enough?"
Liu Zhaoye laughed and said, "Master Hongqing is joking. Within five years, the army of Heaven will have descended upon the Haotong Realm. Naturally, there will be no need for this protective formation anymore."
Fang Jian was speechless upon hearing this. "So this is what you're hoping for? Furthermore, the Grand Envoy hasn't decided when to send troops to the Haolan Realm. Do you think the Heavenly Court has no other concerns? Are they only focused on the Haogang Realm?"
After all, he had just arrived at the Tianshi Mansion, so Fang Jian couldn't refute Liu Zhaoye. He just sat there without comment.
Then Liu Zhaoye, the other two Heavenly Masters and the seven chief priests agreed on the Heavenly Master Mansion's strategy for the next five years. Generally speaking, it was to rely on the guardian formation to completely retreat to the East Continent, not to go to the outside world to deal with things, to manage the Heavenly Master Mansion and the East Continent, to preserve their own strength, and to wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Court army, and then to counterattack the West Continent together.
From a strategic perspective, the problem is not a big deal. It is correct to preserve one's own strength and not make reckless sacrifices.
But there is one thing that is wrong, and it is extremely wrong, that is, pinning all hopes on the Heavenly Court.
What if the Heavenly Court doesn’t come within five years?
So, Fang Jian raised his own question: "May I ask the three auxiliary heavenly masters, if the Heavenly Court cannot descend upon the Haolan Realm within five years, won't the billions of lives in the East Continent fall into its clutches?"
Liu Zhaoye frowned upon hearing this, but soon relaxed his brows and asked Fang Jian, "What ingenious plan does Master Hongqing have?"
Fang Jian said: "We still need to actively look outward and seek a breakthrough.
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Qu Han asked him, "Master Hongqing is a Taiyi Xuanxian, right?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, “Not bad.
Qu Han said, "As far as we know, among the outer demons of the Upper Central Dao in the Western Continent, there are Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals. We haven't even reached the level of Golden Immortals. If we leave this protective formation, we will die."
Fang Jian opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back into his throat.
Fang Jian knew very well that Taiyi Jinxian could not threaten him, but if he said it out loud at this moment, people would just think he was bragging, so he swallowed his words back.
At this moment, Assistant Heavenly Master Gao Jing asked Fang Jian, "What rank of immortal official does Master Hongqing hold in the Heavenly Court?"
Fang Jian said: "Third rank, Inspector of the Three Realms."
Gao Jing smiled and said, "How about comparing it to the four ancestral masters?"
Fang Jian said: "The four ancestral heavenly masters are great virtues of the Xuanmen sect and super-grade immortal officials of the heavenly court. How dare I, Fang Jian, be compared with them?"
Gao Jing heard this and continued with a smile, "Then how does Master Hongqing know when Heaven will send troops to the Haolan Realm and when it won't?"
My goodness, he is using his ancestral central status to put pressure on himself!
There is a big problem with the thinking of the Tianshifu of Haolan Realm, and Fang Jian finally discovered this.
The four ancestral heavenly masters are indeed higher than other masters in terms of virtue, cultivation, merit and rank, but in heaven, rank is not the only factor that determines everything.
But Fang Jian didn't want to explain, because he was too disdainful to explain and too lazy to explain.
But Fang Jian did not explain, and everyone thought he had given in, which made the three auxiliary heavenly masters more convinced of their own judgment.
Thus, Fang Jian's first meeting at the Central Heavenly Master's Mansion ended with Liu Zhaoye and the others unanimously approving the decision, with Fang Jian remaining silent throughout. The Heavenly Master's Mansion then issued a Central Imperial decree appointing Fang Jian as the Chief Priest of the Baofang Academy. He then received a Central Priest Certificate from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, officially becoming the eighth Chief Priest of the Central Heavenly Master's Mansion in the Haolan Realm.
