Heaven, Daluo Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor held the Dharma edict in his hand and said to the immortals and gods in the hall, "The Imperial Master has sent a talismanic edict to revise some of the arrangements made previously."
At this point, the Jade Emperor said to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, "Daoyou, the Imperial Master has allowed you to descend to the mortal world to save people. You no longer need to face the calamity of reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun immediately bowed and said, "I thank your Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor for your grace."
The Jade Emperor nodded and continued, "Anyone in Heaven who wishes to descend to the mortal world may do so on their own initiative by resigning their celestial official positions. The Imperial Master has stated that anyone in Daluo Heaven will be protected by the Master's mighty power and unaffected by the calamity. Those who leave Daluo Heaven will bear the brunt of their own karma and will not be protected."
At this point, the Jade Emperor addressed the immortals and gods, saying, "There is no need for you to rush into a decision. After today's court meeting, we will adjourn for three days. We can hold a small court meeting three days later to make a decision."
Three days in the celestial calendar is equivalent to three years in the terrestrial calendar.
After saying this, the Jade Emperor asked Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, "Where do you want to go after you descend to the mortal world?"
Upon hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun immediately bowed and said, "I will go to Northern Juluzhou to see Hongqing Zhenjun first."
"Okay." The Jade Emperor nodded and said with a smile, "He has just recently pacified the Fengting of Cangming Mountain and stabilized the Northern Continent. He should still have a lot of work to do. Fellow Daoist, please wait a little longer. After the next court meeting, you can go with the immortal nobles who decided to go to the lower world."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command."
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was another small court meeting three days later. This time, when the Jade Emperor asked how many people were willing to go down to the mortal world, Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun, Tianyou Chide Zhenjun, Yishen Baode Zhenjun, Huaguang Zhenjun Ma Lingyao, Xuantan Zhenjun Zhao Gongming, Guangling Zhenjun Wen Qiong, Xietian Zhenjun Guan Yu and others all decided to go down to the mortal world to save all living beings.
The Jade Emperor approved it immediately and told all the immortals and gods that if there were any more people who wanted to go down to the mortal world in the future, they could raise the request at future court meetings, and the Heavenly Court would allow them to go down.
In this way, the first group of immortals and gods from heaven who came down to the mortal world, headed by Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, resigned from their divine positions, bid farewell to the Jade Emperor and fellow Taoists, and then went down to the mortal world from the North Gate of Heaven, first heading to the Northern Continent.
One day in heaven is one year on earth. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed on earth.
Uttarakuru is full of vitality. Compared with the other three continents that are already in dire straits, there is no sign that Uttarakuru is currently in the midst of a catastrophe.
The Hongqing Divine Mansion's first census of the immortal records in the Northern Continent has been successfully completed. When Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and others went down to the Northern Continent, they were immediately noticed by the heavenly soldiers patrolling in the sky.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoists ahead." A team of a hundred heavenly soldiers immediately caught up, and the leader, Bai Zong, bowed to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and the others who had stopped and asked, "Where are you from?"
At this time, Tianpeng Yuansheng Zhenjun pointed at Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and said, "This is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Soldiers' Hundred Commanders' faces suddenly changed. Then, they immediately became extremely terrified and bowed respectfully, saying, "I, Fang Han, the Hundred Commanders of the Demon Subduing Army, pay my respects to the Heavenly Lord."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun smiled and ordered Fang Han to stand up, then introduced the people behind him.
As Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun introduced him, Fang Han's expression became more and more solemn and respectful, and in the end he kept bowing his head in greeting.
After the introductions were completed, Fang Han immediately said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, and all the True Lords, please allow me to return to Broken Boundary Mountain and report to True Lord Hongqing."
"No need to bother." Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun smiled and said, "We want to see how different Northern Julu Continent has become under the rule of Hongqing Zhenjun. We can go down here and then walk to Duanjie Mountain while observing the scenery."
Hearing this, Fang Han hesitated and said, "Tianzun, fellow True Lords, could you please take out your Immortal Official Jade Certificates and let me take a look?"
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and the others were startled, and then they heard Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun laugh and say, "We have all resigned our celestial official positions and only retain our fruition status. Now we only have the celestial gold seal, not the celestial jade certificate."
Upon hearing this, Fang Han immediately said, "In that case, how about asking Tianzun and the other True Lords to follow me to the Cangming Mountain base to apply for temporary identity certificates?"
"What? Identification?" Zhao Gongming, the True Lord of the Mysterious Altar, asked in surprise, "What is that?"
Fang Han immediately had to briefly explain Fang Jian's "census of the immortal registers". After hearing this, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and others looked at each other in confusion.
"So, please ask the Heavenly Lord and all the True Lords to follow me to the Cangming Mountain base." Fang Han bowed his head.
Everyone found it difficult to understand. The Heavenly Court had already issued the Immortal Certificate, also known as the 'Golden Seal of Immortal Scripture', so why did Fang Jian still need an 'identity certificate'?
However, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun said at this time: "Well, since we are here, we should do as the locals do." After that, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun smiled at Fang Han and said: "Then please ask the young general to take us to the garrison to apply for temporary identity certificates."
"No, no, this is what a young general should do." Fang Han bowed and said.
Afterwards, Fang Han led Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and his party to fly towards the lower world, and soon landed in Cangming Mountain in Yaobei Prefecture.
Three years later, Cangming Mountain became lush and green again, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the base of the Hongqing Divine Mansion's Heavenly Army in Yaobeizhou was located in Cangming Mountain.
When Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and his companions landed in Cangming Mountain, they saw countless tall and neatly arranged tombs standing on a peak in the distance. They immediately asked, "Young General, what are those?"
Fang Han took a look at what he said and then said, "Replying to the Heavenly Lord, those are the tombs of the Phoenix Clan of Fengting in Cangming Mountain. There are more than 5,000 of them in total."
