Jinge Prefecture, Tianji Mountain, the main temple of Shuxian Sect, Yuancheng Hall.
Led by Patriarch Tianshu, the head of the Shuxian Sect, the grand elder, and the elders were all sitting high in the hall. After all, today was the day when the judges of the Heavenly Court would formally discuss matters with the Shuxian Sect, so everyone who should be here was here.
When Wen Zhenru entered the Yuancheng Hall under the guidance of a deacon from the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he was covered in dust and was very angry.
As for Patriarch Tianshu, his complexion was not very good. Although he had a smile on his face, underneath that smile was hidden a strong sense of solemnity.
And whether it was Pang Lingzi, the head of the Shuxian Sect, or the other great elders and elders, when facing Wen Zhenru at this moment, they no longer had the previous contempt, but were instead solemn.
After all, they had seen Fang Yuan's strength last night and knew that this person's cultivation was definitely not inferior to that of Tianshu Patriarch. As a result, the sense of superiority they had as a Daluo Jinxian was gone in an instant.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." After Wen Zhenru entered Yuancheng Hall, he immediately bowed to everyone.
Everyone stood up and returned the greetings. Finally, Wen Zhenru came to the center of the hall, bowed to Tianshu Patriarch, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Heavenly King, did you not hurt yourself last night?"
Tianshu Patriarch smiled and said, "Thanks to Judge Tian, I am fine."
"That's good. Not everyone can withstand that big star last night. Only you, Your Majesty, have the strength to do so." Wen Zhenru said.
Patriarch Tianshu's cheek twitched slightly, then he smiled and said to the treasure platform beside him: "Judge Tian, please take a seat."
Wen Zhenru looked towards the treasure platform and saw that it was set up in the upper right corner of the hall, higher than Pang Lingzi, the leader of the Shuxian Sect, and lower than the Tianshu Patriarch.
There is no problem in setting up the seat like this. Patriarch Tianshu has the status of the "King of Heaven" in the Heavenly Court, so his status is slightly higher than Wen Zhenru, the Heavenly Judge.
Wen Zhenru bowed and then flew to take a seat. Pang Lingzi then asked, "Why does Judge Tian have such a worldly air?"
Wen Zhenru smiled and said, "Last night, His Majesty the Heavenly King displayed his divine power and shattered the meteorite. The ashes fell to the ground and ignited many mountains and fields in Jin'e Prefecture. So, the heavenly soldiers and I spent the whole night putting out the fire."
Pang Lingzi was surprised and said, "The wildfire in the mountains should be left to die out on its own. Why would the Heavenly Judges bother the Heavenly Soldiers to put it out specifically?"
Wen Zhenru shook his head and said, "That's wrong. The Heavenly Court governs the three realms and is supposed to protect all living beings. How could they just sit back and watch a wildfire rage?"
Pang Lingzi was stunned when he heard this, and then remained silent.
At this time, Tianshu Patriarch asked again: "Tianzha, why didn't that fellow Taoist from the 'right side' come?"
Wen Zhenru smiled and said, "Let His Majesty the Heavenly King know that he is no longer called Zheng Fang. Last night he received the Dharma precepts from the Buddha himself and has entered the Buddhist order. His Dharma name is now 'Fang Yuan.'"
"Oh?" Patriarch Tianshu said upon hearing this, "Entered Buddhism? Does that mean this fellow Daoist Fang Yuan isn't from Heaven?"
Wen Zhenru shook his head and said, "Of course not, he is only here to help me on the orders of the Heavenly Court."
Patriarch Tianshu raised his eyebrows. He did not feel relieved at all because Fang Yuan was not from the Heavenly Court. Instead, he became more solemn.
The Heavenly Court sent a Daluo Jinxian to help Wen Zhenru? What for? Tianshu Patriarch was filled with doubts.
Pang Lingzi observed his ancestor's expression and saw the doubts he was reluctant to ask. He immediately said to Wen Zhenru, "Oh? The Heavenly Court sent this senior Fang Yuan to help the Heavenly Judge. Is this to rectify the Heavenly Law?"
Wen Zhenru smiled and said, "Of course it is so."
Hearing Wen Zhenru's affirmative answer, everyone's eyelids jumped. They remembered Wen Zhenru's massacre in front of the mountain gate yesterday...
Is she planning to start a massacre in the Shuxian Sect?!
For a moment, everyone looked at Tianshu Patriarch worriedly. Tianshu Patriarch was also very troubled. He originally thought that it was just a Heavenly Judge in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but he didn't expect that there was another master whose Taoism strength was no less than his own. The next things might be a bit tricky.
After a moment, Pang Lingzi asked again, "How did the judge plan to enforce the Heavenly Law that day?"
As Pang Lingzi asked this question, all eyes turned to Wen Zhenru. Wen Zhenru said bluntly, "I'll be frank. When I come to rectify the Heavenly Law, my first priority is to uphold the Heavenly Authority. Killing is inevitable. The Pivot Immortal Sect is a large sect with over 100,000 disciples. Since the Heavenly King Tianshu has been conferred by the Heavenly Court, the entire sect must strictly abide by the Heavenly Law. Anyone who violates the Heavenly Law will be severely punished."
As Wen Zhenru finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at him sideways. Patriarch Tianshu pondered and said, "What are the rules of the Heavenly Law? If the Heavenly Judge wants to rectify the Heavenly Law, then the disciples of my Shuxian Sect also need to know the Heavenly Law, right?"
"Of course." Wen Zhenru flipped his hand and took out a jade scroll, saying, "It contains three thousand laws and decrees of heaven, and the corresponding punishments for violating the laws are also written in it."
After saying that, Wen Zhenru handed the jade slip to Patriarch Tianshu. Patriarch Tianshu raised his hand and took the jade slip in his hand. With a glance of his mind, he could see everything.
Then, Tianshu Patriarch exclaimed, "Although there are three thousand Heavenly Laws here, each one is based on the principles of the order of heaven and earth. Even I cannot find any inappropriateness in them."
Wen Zhenru said to the Tianshu Patriarch, "Of course. My Heavenly Court governs the three realms, so the laws of Heaven must be strictly regulated. Your Majesty, do you think it's okay to use these laws to rectify the Shuxian Sect?"
Tianshu Patriarch glanced at Wen Zhenru, then said, "Please tell the truth. Although I don't want to admit it, there are no loopholes or inappropriateness in this Heavenly Law. However, Tianshu Judge, can you give the Shuxian Sect some time to familiarize themselves with the Heavenly Law?"
"Of course." Wen Zhenru said, "Is one month enough?"
