Fang Jian stood watching from a distance, but didn't dare to get close. He was only at the 'Qi training' stage now, and going over there would be seeking death.
However, the flower demon was able to deal with the four thunder gods until now with his "refined emptiness realm" cultivation, which showed that he still had some means of saving his life, but now he has run out of tricks.
These four Thunder Gods are four of the thirty-six Thunder Gods under the Ministry of Thunder and the twelve Thunder Gods of Earth Thunder: the Thunder God of Punishment, the Thunder God of Community Command, the Thunder God of Patrolling the Sky, and the Thunder God of Inspecting the Earth. They are all fifth-rank immortal officials in the Heavenly Court.
Although there are differences between immortals and gods, there is no difference in the level of cultivation.
Gods are officials appointed by the heavenly court, also called "immortal officials", while "immortals" refer to those immortals who have obtained the fruits of the Tao and become immortals.
Of course, the gods and immortals in heaven can also obtain the fruits of the Tao and become immortals, but they are not as free and cannot leave their places of duty. They also have to deal with matters big and small and cannot devote themselves to practice. This is a big disadvantage.
There are seven realms before becoming an immortal: refining qi, refining xuan, refining the spirit, refining xu, holding the elixir, primordial infant, and yang spirit. After yang spirit, one needs to pick the dao fruit. After picking the dao fruit, one will officially shed the mortal body and achieve the dao and become an immortal.
However, immortal officials appointed by the Heavenly Court may enjoy some treatments that only immortals have, even if their Taoism is only at the Qi-training level. This is also a great benefit of entering the Heavenly Court system.
Another advantage is that there is a background, so it is easy to ask for help.
For example, this time, the flower demon relied on her own cultivation to order the land god around. Fang Jiancai was not used to her temper, so he refused to go out no matter how she called him.
So the flower demon said something harsh in anger, but the truth that trouble comes from the mouth will never become outdated. When Fang Jian saw her say that, he knew that these monsters acted eccentrically and had no bottom line, so he directly reported it to the duty god Zhou Deng.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, the Ministry of Thunder sent four Thunder Gods to help capture the monster. Their efficiency was extremely high.
At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded in front of him. Fang Jian looked up and saw that the flower demon had been knocked to the ground, his whole body was charred.
The thunder subsided, and Fang Jian, using his divine speed technique, rushed forward. He heard the Thunder God of Punishment say to Hua Ling'er, "Flower demon, you originally blasphemed the gods and should have been suppressed for ten years. However, you have twice defied the divine power, and your crime has increased. I sentence you to be suppressed at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain for thirty years. Be careful what you do."
The flower demon turned pale. Upon hearing this, he immediately said unconvincedly, "Isn't this a more serious crime? Then he should only be suppressed for twenty years, why thirty years?"
The Thunder God of Punishment remained calm and said, "The crime is one level higher, multiplied by three. Three times ten years is thirty years."
Hua Ling'er was about to cry, "Can it still be calculated like this?!"
The community leader, Lei Gong, said, "We are in charge of the thirty-six celestial laws. We strictly follow the orders of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun and carry out punishments on behalf of the heavens. Whatever we say is what we decide."
The word "official" means anything. The flower demon secretly sighed that she was unlucky, but there was nothing she could do. In this situation, it was good enough that she could keep her life.
"Yes, little demon, I accept the punishment." Hua Ling'er said with a sad heart. Then she looked at Fang Jian beside her and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "I am the land god of Yangxia County."
"..." Hua Ling'er opened her mouth wide, her expression even more shocked than when the four thunder gods first found her hiding place.
"You don't seem to believe it?" Fang Jian asked, looking at Hua Ling'er's expression.
Hua Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, "The Land God is truly extraordinary and heroic. If I had seen him earlier, how could this little demon dare to offend him?"
Fang Jian was delighted to hear this. He also disliked the short and ugly statue of the land god outside his own land temple. But it was a statue made by mortals, so he had no choice but to accept it.
However, it's too late to say that now. Fang Jian said to the flower demon, "The laws of heaven are strict. Since you have committed the crime of disrespecting the gods, you must be punished according to the laws of heaven. However, the laws of heaven are numerous, and their purpose is to persuade people to be good. Considering that you have a repentant heart, I will still suppress you with a ten-year sentence."
After saying this, Fang Jian looked at the Thunder God of Punishment, who said sternly, "We strictly follow the orders of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder God', who administers the laws of the Heavenly Court. We must enforce the law impartially. The flower demon offended the divine authority with her words and then resisted arrest. However, since the Earth God has pleaded for mercy, and considering you have shown remorse, I will suppress you for ten years."
Upon hearing this, the flower demon was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Thunder God and Earth God, for your mercy. I am convinced and willing to accept the punishment."
Afterwards, the Thunder God of Punishment waved his hand, and a flash of lightning appeared, suppressing Hua Ling'er at the foot of Taohua Mountain, and posted the Thunder Department's suppression talisman on the top of the mountain.
After suppressing Hua Ling'er, the Sky Patrolling Thunder God, holding a thunder whip, looked up to the heavens and said, "The blasphemous flower demon has surrendered and is now suppressed at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain. Please withdraw your divine power."
As soon as the Sky-Patrolling Thunder God finished speaking, the thick dark clouds and thunderstorms within a hundred miles of the area dissipated, and the torrential rain abruptly stopped. The sky within a hundred miles became clear once again, and the four Thunder Gods, guided by the immortal light of the Thunder Department, returned to the Heavenly Palace to report.
