When he saw Fang Jian appear on the auspicious cloud, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hei Hai respectfully wishes the master to attain the Daluo Dao, transcend the immortals and mortals, and attain eternal immortality!"
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "Transcending immortals is still acceptable, but being immortal is an exaggeration. During the calamity, even a Daluo Jinxian is at risk of falling."
Black Boy said, "When the master first attained the Great Yi Golden Immortal Dao, he was able to roam freely within the eons. Now that he is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, what is there to fear?"
Fang Jian laughed heartily, then looked at Hei Haier and said, "Those who practice cultivation should not be too arrogant. They should always be humble and cautious, so that they can go further."
These philosophical words would never have been uttered by Fang Jian in the past, but after witnessing the Daoist Golden Immortal, one not only improves the power of Taoism, but also the realm.
"Yes." Black Boy bowed and said, "I will follow your instructions."
Then Hei Haier said, "Master, the leader of the Taoist sect, Ji Zhen'e Daojun, has come with many great Taoists and great virtues to offer congratulations. The leader of the Buddhist sect, Maitreya Tathagata Buddha, has come with many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to offer congratulations."
Ji Zhen'e is now a true leader of Taoism, so under the background of the confluence of Heavenly Dao and Taoism, the Jade Emperor has conferred the title of "Tao Lord" on Ji Zhen'e.
"Oh?" Fang Jian asked, "Where are they?"
Black Boy said, "At the Xingliu Terrace of the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, the Jade Emperor and the other emperors have already set up a vegetarian banquet on the Xingliu Terrace to celebrate your attainment of the Daluo Dao."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately said, "Since that's the case, issue the imperial decree and set out for Xingliutai."
"I will obey the law."
Then Heihaier walked out of Dongzhen Palace. Soon after, Fang Jian’s sedan chair was ready. Fang Jian boarded the sedan chair and set off for Xingliutai.
After he stepped down from the imperial carriage at Xingliu Terrace, everyone present, except the Jade Emperor and the Five Great Emperors, stood up to greet him.
"Great Emperor Hongqing, congratulations."
"Congratulations to Great Emperor Hongqing for achieving Daluo."
"Congratulations to the Great Emperor Hongqing."
Facing the warm congratulations from the crowd, Fang Jian humbly bowed his head in return, "Thank you all for your kindness, fellow Taoists. Fang Jian is deeply grateful."
After a lively exchange of words, Fang Jian walked to his own honored seat and sat down cross-legged. His seat was below the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother.
Although Fang Jian's authority is now higher than that of the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West, in terms of seniority, Fang Jian is undoubtedly the lowest among the great emperors, so he should be ranked behind these two.
After Fang Jian sat down, the Five Imperial Emperors congratulated Fang Jian, and Fang Jian quickly stood up to express his gratitude.
Finally, it was the Jade Emperor. He raised the wine cup in his hand and said to Fang Jian, "Great Emperor Hongqing, congratulations on achieving the Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. From now on, you will transcend the immortal world and the great path will be within your reach."
Fang Jian immediately picked up his wine cup, stood up, and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Your servant Fang Jian thanks the Jade Emperor."
After saying that, Fang Jianxian drank the immortal wine in his hand. The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, then took a sip of the immortal wine in the cup.
Fang Jian sat down again. At this time, the gods from heaven, Taoism and Buddhism toasted Fang Jian and congratulated him. Fang Jian filled his glass again and drank it all in one gulp.
Next came the traditional program. The fairy Chang'e came on stage to dance, and the gods and immortals drank heartily in a joyful atmosphere, talked about everything under the sun, ate fairy fruits and delicacies, and talked about the wonders of the three realms. The years were carefree, the world was peaceful, and it made people feel relaxed and happy.
In the midst of this joyful atmosphere, the Jade Sky Goddess, who was sitting next to the Jade Emperor, suddenly stood up with a wine cup in her hand.
The gods and immortals who were drinking and chatting happily around immediately stopped and looked at the Jade Sky Goddess with puzzled eyes.
After not seeing each other for thirty-six years, Jade Sky Goddess, Jiang Yidao and Jiang Yide have all reached the realm of true immortals. This is easy to understand. Don't forget what Taishang Laojun does.
Taishang Laojun is the one who refines elixirs specifically for the Jade Emperor. With Taishang Laojun's elixirs and being relatives of the Jade Emperor, wouldn't it be easy for the Jade Sky Goddess and her two children to obtain the true immortal fruit?
The Jade Sky Goddess raised the wine cup in her hand and said to Fang Jian, "Great Emperor Hongqing, congratulations on achieving the Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. I offer you a toast."
Seeing this, Fang Jian had no choice but to pick up his wine cup and stand up, saying, "I dare not, thank you, Daoist Fellow Yuxiao."
The first part was about her identity as the wife of the Jade Emperor, and the second part was about gratitude to a fellow Taoist. Fang Jian was now the Great Emperor, and it was very polite of him to address Yu Xiao as a fellow Taoist.
Fang Jian emptied the wine in his cup, and the Jade Sky Goddess did the same. Then, with a slightly drunken face and a rosy complexion, she looked at Fang Jian and said, "Great Emperor Hongqing, what do you think of my son Jiang Yidao?"
As she spoke, Jade Sky Goddess pulled Jiang Yidao, who looked uneasy and unhappy, to her side and asked Fang Jian.
As soon as the Jade Sky Goddess asked this question, the Jade Emperor's originally smiling face immediately became expressionless, while the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady had a subtle expression, with a faint smile on her face.
