The Northern Emperor of Thunder's procession, along with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and seventy-two evil generals, came riding on clouds in a mighty force. Along the way, monsters and spirits lay dormant, and evil spirits were frightened and hid themselves, not daring to show themselves in the world.
Under such circumstances, the construction of the Taoist temple within a radius of ten thousand miles around Xiaoshiya could definitely no longer be carried out, so Fang Jian asked Lu Fengxian to lead the demon cultivators within a radius of ten thousand miles to retreat to the Duanjie Mountain in the west to build another Taoist temple.
So when the Northern Thunder Emperor's carriage arrived above the small stone cliff, only Fang Jian and Hong Yuanhua were present.
Suddenly, a celestial official wearing a Jade Palace robe and with the behavior of a true celestial being flew down from the sky. He landed in front of Fang Jian and asked, "Are you Fang Jian, the God of Broken Realm Mountain?"
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Excuse me, may I ask who your superior is?"
The immortal official smiled and said, "I am Yan Da, the Left Minister of the Jade Palace of the Divine Thunder Jade Palace."
The Divine Thunder Jade Palace is the headquarters of the Thunder Department, and is presided over by the Nine-Heaven Thunder Sound Universal Heavenly Venerable, who is in charge of the disasters and blessings of the sky, holds the balance of things, controls things and people, and is in charge of life and death.
The Left Minister of the Jade Palace of Divine Thunder is a second-rank immortal official, above him is the first-rank 'True Lord of the Jade Palace Judge', above him is the super-rank Five Directions Thunder Emperor, and at the top is the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Universal Heavenly Venerable.
However, the Divine Thunder Jade Palace also has its special features. That is, it is nominally under the jurisdiction of Taixuandu Province, but the Divine Thunder Jade Palace itself, as the highest official department of the Thunder Department, has the right to conduct independent expeditions.
Either the order is from the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, or the order is from the Lord of Thunder of the Nine Heavens. As long as one of these two people gives the order, the Thunder Department can independently mobilize troops and generals to conquer the three realms and ten directions.
After Yan Da announced his name, Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Fang Jian greets the Left Minister."
Yan Da smiled slightly and asked Fang Jian, "I heard that you also practice thunder magic?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's right. I used this method to defeat the Blood Demon before."
Upon hearing this, Yan Da's face immediately lit up with smiles, and he said, "Let me tell you that all the immortals in my Thunder Department are born into the Thunder Law family."
This is equivalent to telling Fang Jian that since you also practice thunder magic, you are one of us.
Fang Jian's mind raced, and he immediately understood the implication, so he said, "I hope the Left Minister will give me more guidance in the future."
"I don't deserve your advice. You're a famous figure now." Yan Da said with a smile, and then said, "The Thunder Emperor is still waiting for you to see him. We can't delay. Come with me."
Fang Jian accepted the order and said, "Yes."
After Fang Jian flew into the sky, the first thing he saw was a fairy in a black Taoist robe sitting high on a golden chariot in front of him.
He had a long beard that reached down to his chest, a square face, and wore a black robe and a crown on his head. He was a hundred times more majestic than any human emperor.
The seventy-two evil generals, heavenly soldiers and strongmen were stationed on both sides, leaving a wide golden cloud road in the middle.
Afterwards, the Left Minister Yan Da quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the God of Broken Realm Mountain has arrived."
As long as the title contains the word "Emperor", it will never be wrong to call him "Emperor".
The Northern Thunder Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Order Fang Jian to come forward and see me."
Although there are many super-rank immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, there are differences between those whose titles include the title of king or emperor.
Although the Giant Spirit is a super-grade one, he is one level lower than the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is at the same level as the Five Thunder Emperors, but he is one level lower than the Five Mountains Emperor, the Four Holy Emperors of the North Pole, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, and the Donghua Emperor.
Not to mention the Four Imperial Gods, the only ones who can surpass the Four Imperial Gods in status and practice are the Jade Emperor, the Taoist Patriarch, and the Buddha.
So Fang Jian stepped forward, bowed his head, and said with the courtesy of a subject: "Your servant, Fang Jian, the God of the Broken Realm Mountain, pays homage to the Thunder Emperor of the North, who overturns the heavens and seas."
The Northern Thunder Emperor allowed Fang Jian to stand still, then asked, "Si Lu Xingjun reported that you used the Thirty-Six Heavenly Thunders to repel the Blood Demon. Now, please use a Great Shangqing Cave Thunder for me to see."
"Yes, sir!" Fang Jian accepted the order, then activated his magic power and gave a light shout. After that, there was a loud bang in the sky, and then a Shangqing cave thunder as thick as a bucket came down with a loud bang. The lightning illuminated the sky into a bluish-white color.
At this moment, the left minister Yan Da's eyes lit up and he said, "This Shangqing Great Cave Thunder from the mountain god is actually several times stronger than my thunder method."
Amidst the doubtful gaze, Yan Da said, "The Mountain God is truly gifted and intelligent. He actually has such a profound understanding of thunder magic."
Fang Jian naturally couldn't say that this was because he had the Purple Palace Thunder Spirit Tree. Otherwise, if others knew that he also had this innate divine object that only the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun possessed, what would they think?
After seeing Fang Jian's thunder technique, the Northern Thunder Emperor's eyes immediately showed admiration, and he said, "Your Heavenly Thunder Technique is so pure, how about joining my Thunder Department?"
He then added, "As long as you agree, I can immediately report to the Grand Envoy and transfer you to my Thunder Department as a third-rank immortal official."
A third-rank immortal official can be considered a step to heaven.
But Fang Jian only had a fleeting thought before he said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My position as the God of Broken Boundary Mountain was appointed by the Grand Envoy. Without the Grand Envoy's permission, I would not dare to take the Emperor's orders without authorization."
Upon hearing this, the Left Minister Yan Da was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted.
Fang Jian said on the surface that he, the God of the Broken Boundary Mountain, was appointed by the Great Lord, but in fact he was using this as an excuse to reject the Northern Thunder Emperor.
However, it was hard for Minister Zuo to say what the specific reason was that made him reject the temptation of a third-rank immortal official.
But Fang Jian's thoughts were very simple. Being an immortal official was different from simply practicing Taoism and meditating on the mysteries of the Dao. If one could not fully comprehend Taoism, one could refer to Buddhism; if one could not fully comprehend Buddhism, one could refer to Taoism.
