I'm an immortal in heaven

Miaofang Daogong, Daofang Palace.

Taiyuan Dao Zun smiled and listened quietly to Fang Jian's words. Then he turned to Yu Chunshuang and asked, "Master Yu Qing, do you think so too?"

Yu Chunshuang immediately bowed and said: "Master of the country, I want to assist you by your side and do my best to help Xuanjian Dao Kingdom improve its national power and advance to the second-class status as soon as possible."

Taoist Master Taiyuan nodded, then smiled and said to Fang Jian: "Jian'er, go to the 'Jade Book Hall' first and wait for me."

Fang Jian frowned slightly and glanced at Yu Chunshuang beside him. He felt something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't say anything more and nodded: "Okay."

Then Taiyuan Taoist Master said to the maid standing quietly next to him: "Take the young master to the Jade Book Hall to serve tea and sit for a while."

The maid immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

Then the maid walked down the steps of the palace with small steps, and came to Fang Jian with a gust of Yaoqi fragrance and worshiped: "Master, please come with me."

Fang Jian bowed his hands to Taoist Taiyuan, then turned around and followed the maid out of Daofang Hall to the Jade Book Hall.

After Fang Jian left, the smile on Taiyuan Dao Zun's face immediately disappeared and became indifferent and calm, "Yuchun Shuangqing."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chunshuang immediately bowed and said, "I'm here."

Taiyuan Dao Zun said: "I will give you an edict later. You can leave Xuanjian Dao Kingdom and find another job in another country."

"Ah?!" After hearing this, Yu Chunshuang's expression changed drastically, and then he quickly knelt down on the ground and worshiped with fear on his face: "My lord, I am not guilty."

Taiyuan Taoist Master said calmly: "I know that you are not guilty, so I will not deprive you of the title of minister. If you take my edict and go to other Taoist countries with the title of minister, you can also find a position. ."

"Your Majesty, you have been kind to me, and I am loyal to you, your Majesty. I won't leave!" Yu Chunshuang kowtowed as he spoke, tears falling from his eyes and falling to the main hall.

However, Taoist Taiyuan shook his head and said, "If you don't leave, I won't use you anymore."

"Why?" Yu Chun cried and said, "Master, why do you want to drive me away?"

Taiyuan Taoist Master said calmly: "Jian'er is my son, he is more important to me than anything else. I asked you to take care of him, but you are unwilling?"

Hearing this, Yu Chunshuang was startled, and then explained: "Master, I just want to help you govern the Tao Kingdom, I never have any other ideas!"

Taiyuan Dao Zun said: "You take good care of Jian'er. From now on, as long as you have my title, you will have your title. Even if you have been taking care of Jian'er and have not made any contribution to the advancement of the Tao Kingdom, I will not begrudge you in the future." I will give you a position as a minister. But since you are not willing, I will not use you anymore. I will retain your position as a minister as a reward for your contribution to the country over the years."

After saying that, Taiyuan Dao Zun waved his hand indifferently: "You can go, I only use people I can use."

Yu Chunshuang had never seen such a temperament in Taiyuan Taoist Master. Taiyuan Taoist Master had always been very tolerant and gentle towards ministers like them, and had never shown such ruthless and indifferent emotions.

Yu Chunshuang was trembling all over, as if the sky had fallen. In a daze, she came to her senses and said hurriedly: "The Lord, please calm down. I am willing to take care of the young master. I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces. I will never leave Xuanjian Dao Kingdom."

But Tao Zun Taiyuan stood up and appeared next to Yu Chunshuang in an instant, "You have resentment in your heart."

Yu Chunshuang looked up at Taoist Taiyuan and cried, "It was the king who promoted me from a commoner to the position of a minister. Otherwise, Chunshuang would not have known which battle he died in." Shuang will never leave the country’s lord and Xuanjian Dao Kingdom.”

"I don't care what you think in your heart." Taiyuan Taoist Master said: "I only care about Jian'er. If you are unwilling to take care of him, I won't force you, but I still say that I will never use you again."

Hearing the words, Yu Chengshuang quickly adjusted his mentality and emotions. He raised his right hand and said: "Yu Chengshuang swears to 'Heaven and Earth' here that he is willing to take care of Young Master Hongqing. He will have no complaints in his heart. If he makes false claims, he will be punished by heaven and earth." .”

After swearing the oath, Yu Chunshuang knelt on the ground and worshiped: "Master of the country."

Taoist Master Taiyuan watched Yu Chunshuang swear, and heard her pleading voice. His face softened a little, and he said, "In that case, then follow me to the Jade Book Palace."

Hearing this, Yu Chunshuang was immediately overjoyed. This meant that Taoist Taiyuan had withdrawn his life, so he kowtowed in thanks and then wiped away his tears and stood up.

Then Taiyuan Taoist Master took Yu Chunshuang to the Jade Book Hall, where Fang Jian was drinking fairy tea and picking up books from the surrounding bookshelves to read.

"Jian'er." Taiyuan Dao Zun called.

Fang Jian turned around and saw Taoist Taiyuan walking in with Yu Chunshuang. Yu Chunshuang's eyes were a little red, and it looked like he had cried just now.

Fang Jian stood up, and Taoist Master Taiyuan smiled and said: "Jian'er, Master Yucheng has changed her mind. She will stay with you to take care of you from now on. You have to get used to it."

After Taiyuan Taoist Master finished speaking, Yu Chunshuang immediately stepped forward and formally paid homage: "Yu Chunshuang pays homage to the Young Master."

Fang Jian sighed and said to Taoist Taiyuan: "Why are you embarrassing a girl? If she doesn't want to, forget it. Besides, I don't need others to take care of me. Why do you do this?"

Hearing Fang Jian's accusation against Taoist Taiyuan, Yu Chunshuang trembled with fright and quickly explained: "Young Master misunderstood. It was me who realized my previous wrong idea, so I changed my mind. It has nothing to do with the Lord."

However, in the face of Fang Jian's accusation, Tao Zun Taiyuan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. Mr. Yucheng Shuangqing, Pindao apologizes to you."

Yu Chunshuang was so frightened that he fell to his knees. The hierarchy of the Great Court was extremely strict. Even if a Taoist king was really wrong, he should not apologize to a minister.

Yu Chunshuang knelt down directly on the ground and kowtowed to Taoist Taiyuan.

Fang Jian frowned and looked at Taoist Taiyuan with some displeasure. Taoist Taiyuan looked helpless and just said, "This is the rule of the Innate Wuji Realm." Then he waved his sleeves and unleashed a mighty force. He immediately helped Yu Chunshuang up from the ground.

"Don't be afraid." Taoist Master Taiyuan said softly to Yu Chunshuang.

Immediately, Taiyuan Taoist Master asked Fang Jian again: "Is this why you came to me just because of Yu Qingshi?"

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, but there is another thing I want to ask."

Taiyuan Taoist Master immediately understood what Fang Jian was asking, so he said to Yu Chunshuang: "Master Yu Qing, go and guard outside the hall." Yu Chunshuang immediately bowed to accept the order, then turned around and walked out of Yushu temple.

As Yu Chunshuang left the Jade Book Hall and closed the door, Taoist Taiyuan pointed to the sandalwood chair beside him and said, "Sit down." Then he sat down.

Fang Jian also sat down on the sandalwood chair, and then Taoist Master Taiyuan said, "I know what you want to ask. You want to ask where Fellow Taoist Haotian is, right?"

Fang Jian said: "Yes."

Taiyuan Dao Zun pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then said: "You know that in the Xiantian Wuji Realm, all the Dao Kingdoms are entrusted by the Dao Court, right?"

"I know." Fang Jian nodded and said, "It's because the general trend in the Xiantian Wuji Realm is suppressed by the 'Xiantian Yuanshi Treasure Seal'. If you want to absorb the general trend, you must have the title and authority of the Great Court."

Taoist Master Taiyuan said: "Yes, but after Taoist friends Haotian and the others entered the Xiantian Wuji Realm, the first thing they did was to establish their own 'Great Heavenly Court'."

When Fang Jian heard this, he was immediately in awe, and then asked: "But in this case, wouldn't they be unable to absorb the general trend in the Xiantian Wuji Realm?"

"Yes." Tao Zun Taiyuan said: "Not only was it unable to absorb the general trend, but it also faced the crusade and encirclement of Daoting. Daoting's crusade against the 'Great Heaven' lasted for 300 years. During this period, the 'Great Heaven' was attacked many times. After the capital was breached, Taoist friends Haotian and the others had to move around and fight many times. However, after Jiutian Xuannv entered the Xiantian Wuji Realm more than 2000 years ago, the situation changed. After that day and the Daluo Jinxian battle formation led by Tang Ling, In combat, you should understand the role of the 'battle formation' in the Innate Infinite Realm, right?"

Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, but why is the battle formation so powerful? There is no such power in the three worlds of the world?"

Tao Zun Taiyuan explained: "That's because the Innate Infinite Realm is different. No matter how powerful your Taoism and magical powers are in the Innate Infinite Realm, it is not as powerful as the 'big trend'. But under the 'big trend' there are 'small trends', but generally It's called 'Shi'. 'Shi' is second only to 'Great Shi' and exists among all things. Flowing water has power, mountains and rivers have power, and strong winds have power. Even when you walk and run, there is 'Shi', and the battle formation is the general's power. This 'power' is concentrated for attack and defense."

Fang Jian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the battle formation formed by a group of Da Luo Jinxian could not even break his own innate spiritual treasure. That was it.

Taiyuan Taoist Master said: "So since Jiutian Xuannv went to Great Heavenly Court, Great Heavenly Court has continued to win in the war with Daoting. Jiutian Xuannv is indeed a genius in this area. She created many 'battle formations'. In these more than 2000 years, we have been invincible, and have made tremendous contributions to the Great Heavenly Court's establishment in the Infinite World."

Fang Jian asked again: "Since we are invincible, then the Great Heavenly Court should be very strong now?"

"No." Taiyuan Dao Zun said: "On the contrary, because it cannot absorb the general trend, although the army of the Great Heavenly Court is invincible under the leadership of Jiutian Xuannv, there is no development. Without the general trend, no one will come to join them. You, and fellow Daoist Haotian and the others have brought up the general trend from the lower realm, and in these 2000 years, very little is left."

Fang Jian couldn't help but worry a little when he heard this: "Then what are they doing now?"

Tao Zun Taiyuan said: "500 years ago, the Great Heavenly Court and the Great Daoting reached an agreement. The Great Heavenly Court was changed to the 'Heavenly Court' and accepted the enfeoffment of the Great Daoting. The Great Daoting enfeoffed the Heavenly Court as a 'third-class country' and recognized Hao. Heavenly Taoist Friends and their Taoist positions."

Having said this, Taoist Master Taiyuan added: "Now Tianting belongs to the third-class Taoist kingdom under the enfeoffment of Daoting. Taoist Master Haotian is the leader of the Kingdom of Tianting. Taoist Master Sakyamuni and Taoist Wuliang are the 'auxiliary countries'."

"Of course." Taoist Master Taiyuan looked at Fang Jian with a smile and said, "Because of her unparalleled achievements, Jiutian Xuannv is now the 'eldest son' of the Heavenly Court Tao Kingdom."

"Prince?" Fang Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "Is she?"

The princes are all the children of the king. Jiutian Xuannu becomes the prince, unless she recognizes Haotian Dao Zun as her adoptive father.
However, Taiyuan Dao Zun seemed to see what Fang Jian was thinking, shook his head and said: "Jiutian Xuannv did not recognize Haotian Dao Zun as her adoptive father, but worshiped Haotian Dao Zun as her teacher, so Haotian Dao Zun gave Jiutian Xuannv He was appointed as the Crown Prince of Heaven and commanded all the armies of the Heavenly Kingdom."

"That's it." Fang Jian suddenly realized.

Taiyuan Taoist Master said: "However, life in Heaven is not easy now. There is only 'Xishuozhou' a hundred thousand miles away, with a population of only more than one hundred thousand, and it is also surrounded by three other 'second-class Taoist countries'. These three second-class Taoist countries often take turns to attack Heavenly Court and consume Heavenly Court's strength. This is also the strategy of Great Court. Moreover, Heavenly Court is now in a situation of being blocked by Great Court. Not to mention people, not even a ray of immortal energy from outside can enter. , if you want to find Taoist Master Haotian, you still need to find another way, there is no need to rush."

Fang Jian understood that in the final analysis, Tianting and Daoting had been fighting for more than 2000 years. Daoting could not completely destroy Tianting. Tianting also needed to establish its foothold in the Xiantian Wuji Realm and develop as soon as possible, so each of the two families took a step back.One appears to surrender and the other appears to accept, but in fact Daoting always wants to kill Heavenly Court.

At this time, Fang Jian asked again: "But, have they always been fighting as armies? Where is the powerful person in the realm?"

Taoist Taiyuan smiled and said: "Taoist Haotian, Taoist Sakyamuni, and Taoist Wuliang are all powerful in the 'Two Pure Realms', and there are only four 'Three Pure Realms' in the entire Xiantian Wuji Realm. Yes, they are based in the capital city of Daoting, Yujing. I heard that they cannot leave Yujing for some reasons. Therefore, the highest level of great power outside is Erqingjing Dao Zun, and they have long been friends with Haotian Dao Zun and the others. Once it’s over, neither side can do anything to the other.”

"Haotian Taoist Master has reached the Second Pure Realm?" Fang Jian was very happy to hear the news.

Seeing the expression on Fang Jian's face, Taiyuan Taoist couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and said, "You see, I am not happy to hear the news."

"Uh" Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but quickly changed the subject and said, "Why did they reach the Erqing realm so quickly?"

Taiyuan Dao Zun rolled his eyes at Fang Jian, and immediately said: "This is not surprising. Haotian Dao Zun and the others have been promoted to the Yiqing Realm for countless years before entering the Xiantian Wuji Realm. After entering the Xiantian Wuji Realm, they comprehended the Xiantian Wuji Realm. There are some mysteries, and I have fought with some high-level Taoist masters in the Xiantian Wuji Realm, and I have gained a lot of insights, so the promotion to the Second Pure Realm is just a matter of course."

Fang Jian nodded to express his understanding, but soon he discovered another problem, "Wait, where is Taishang Daozu? Why don't you see Taishang Daozu?"

Needless to say who is the Taoist Sakyamuni, the Infinite Taoist should be the Infinite Ancestor Demon, then what about the Taishang Taoist?
Taoist Master Taiyuan's face slightly condensed, and he immediately shook his head and said: "I don't know, according to the news from fellow Taoist Haotian, fellow Taoist Taishang disappeared as soon as he entered the Xiantian Wuji Realm, and his whereabouts are unknown. Moreover, the entire Xiantian Wuji Realm is not Knowing who the 'Tai Shang' is, even the Great Court does not know that such a person exists."

"So there are two guesses." Taoist Master Taiyuan continued: "One is that Taoist Master Taishang has died, and the other is that he has a mysterious and unpredictable method of concealment that prevents people from discovering his existence."

Fang Jian fell silent when he heard this. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I don't believe Taishang Daozu will fall. He should be hiding, and I don't know what his actions and purposes are."

"Yes." Taoist Taiyuan smiled and said, "It's true that mother and son are connected. You and I thought the same."

As for why the Supreme Being is hiding and what purpose he has, it is impossible to know.

After saying that, Taiyuan Dao Zun asked Fang Jian again: "Do you have any questions?"

"No more." Fang Jian said. Heaven was blocked by the Great Court, and normal routes could not lead to Heaven. This meant that he would not be able to go to Haotian Taoist Master for a while, which made Fang Jian a little disappointed.

Taoist Master Taiyuan smiled, stood up and said: "Okay, then you can go back and rest first. I still have some government affairs to deal with. The list of naming you the Crown Prince has been sent to Yujing. I believe there will be an edict soon. of."

When Fang Jian heard this, he stood up and said goodbye to Taoist Taiyuan. As for the canonization of the crown prince, he didn't really care.

However, as Taiyuan Dao Zun said, regarding the edict requesting the canonization of Fang Jian as the crown prince, Daoting quickly sent an envoy to Yancheng, the capital of Xuanjian Dao Kingdom, holding the Daoting edict.

But the result was that Taiyuan Dao Zun was caught off guard and very unexpected. Regarding the request to confer Fang Jian as the crown prince of Xuanjian Dao Kingdom, the Dao Court decree said: No.
