Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 516 I compensated for Longji
After the grand gathering ended, all the immortals dispersed.

The Queen Mother of the West also took her seven daughters to Yaochi. With the permission of the 'Golden Mother of Yaochi' who was in seclusion, they successfully entered Yaochi.

"Wow, is this the legendary Jade Pool?"

A celestial pool overflows with spiritual energy, and several long bridges lead to a magnificent palace deep within. The pool is surrounded by the fragrance of orchids, the aroma of dragon grass, and the crystal-clear scent of seashells and ginseng. Various legendary spiritual herbs and divine medicines are scattered everywhere, and divine birds and beasts such as unicorns, golden crows, and colorful phoenixes also appear.

The seven daughters of the Zhang family, who were granted the title of Heavenly Princesses, were incredibly curious and shocked when they first arrived in the celestial realm, and they exclaimed in amazement.

The Queen Mother sat high above the Jade Palace, looking at her daughters who were filled with curiosity about everything, and smiled, "Alright, children, you have only been granted immortal titles, but you do not yet possess any magical power. From now on, in addition to teaching you how to cultivate magical power, I will also teach you the rules of the Heavenly Court."

She felt that the main responsibility for the failure of Longji's education lay with Haotian.

The stricter she was on her end, the more he sabotaged her, always playing the role of a loving father and a strict mother, making her the bad guy every time.

Longji feared her but never got close to her, which left her feeling helpless. However, by then, a rift had already formed between mother and daughter, and even she was powerless to change it.

But this time she was determined not to let Haotian, no, the Jade Emperor, interfere.

"Huh? Cultivating magical power? Great!"

"So, will we be able to fly on our own then?"

Upon hearing this, the seven princesses were greatly intrigued and cheered loudly.

You must make your mother proud... The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction as she looked at her seven daughters' spirited demeanor.

At this time, the Jade Emperor was led to the Tongming Hall.

Venus had already moved a stack of memorials that needed to be processed onto the table and was waiting, saying, "Your Majesty, these are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. Please approve them as soon as possible."

"This... so much?"

The Jade Emperor froze at the doorway, sweat beading on his forehead as he stared at the stack of memorials: "How have you all managed all these years without me...?"

"You know how to ask questions..." Taibai Jinxian forced a smile: "And so, I endured each day with anticipation for His Majesty."

The Jade Emperor dragged his heavy steps to the top and sat down.

Venus quickly picked up the top scroll of memorials and handed it over, saying, "These are the major events that have occurred in the Heavenly Court since the time of the Jade Emperor. Please review them, Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them: "Why are you showing me this?"

Has this old fellow already discovered that he is Haotian?
Otherwise, why only give him what happened after his reincarnation, instead of digging up the old almanac of the Heavenly Court?

Venus, with his eyes closed and his nose focused on his heart, coughed dryly and said, "Because many things that need to be dealt with are related to these matters."

The Jade Emperor asked somewhat casually, "Old friend, did you realize it was me when I bowed to you at Zhangjia Village?"

Venus asked in surprise, "Huh? What is Your Majesty saying?"

"You old fox!"

The Jade Emperor smiled and shook his head as he opened the memorial. But when he saw its contents, his smile froze on the spot. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Longji? Attacking the Heavenly Palace?"

He never expected that the first thing he would see was his daughter's name.

I never imagined that my daughter's story would fill two whole pages!
"Snapped!"

The Jade Emperor closed the memorial and laughed heartily, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"My daughter, cough, the daughter of the Jade Emperor, how could she possibly attack the Heavenly Court?"

Venus glanced at him.

Oh, Your Majesty!
The Jade Emperor smiled and said to Taibai beside him, "Taibai, you actually said that Longji would storm the Heavenly Court and cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. The Heavenly Court is like her second home. What child would destroy their own home?"

Venus did not laugh; he simply watched the Jade Emperor quietly.

Gradually, even the Jade Emperor could no longer laugh. He remained silent for a while before asking, "So... this is true?"

Venus nodded silently.

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath and asked, "Was the damage... significant?"

Taibai coughed and said, "Less than Yuan Hong, probably on par with, or even greater than, the losses caused by Erlang Zhenjun."

The Jade Emperor shuddered as if struck by lightning, his vision blurred, his blood pressure soared, and he clutched his chest, nearly collapsing onto the table.

His secret stash of money is about to be lost.

No, Yaochi is wealthy. Let her come. My own little treasury must never be revealed unless absolutely necessary.

Venus rushed to help, but the Jade Emperor stopped him, saying, "I'm fine... let me rest a bit."

Wait a minute, how did she, the laughingstock of Heaven and the useless daughter whom everyone secretly mocked back then, come to have such abilities?

Yes, with his profound and all-encompassing cultivation, he already knew that fate had ordained that Longji was destined to face a tribulation of love.

Neither he nor the Queen Mother of the West could help Longji in this calamity.

He never expected that Longji would be so audacious as to dare to storm the Heavenly Court and go to find Immortal Fuyuan.

Is this still the same timid, submissive, and submissive daughter I remember?

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, the Jade Emperor opened the memorial and began to read it carefully.

"She...she actually defeated Fu Yuan?"

If he was surprised before, the Jade Emperor was now filled with shock and delight.

Simply incredible!

Fu Yuan was a famous Golden Immortal of the Primordial World. He entered the Heavenly Court early and was considered an elder of the new Heavenly Court. He cultivated the Great Dao of Marriage, held the Book of Marriage, and was in charge of the marriages of all living beings in the world.

This famous master, who has been famous for many years, was actually defeated by his unknown daughter?
Is this... really true?
Is it really true? It still feels a little unreal!
No, she's no longer unknown. Fu Yuan was just a stepping stone for his daughter, and she must already be famous throughout the primordial world.

Venus coughed and said, "To be precise... Immortal Fu Yuan is seriously injured and can no longer preside over the work. The affairs of the Marriage Department have been handed over to Elder Yue He."

The Jade Emperor was both surprised and delighted. He waved his hand and said with great magnanimity, "No matter how much damage she has caused to the Heavenly Realm, there is no need to make things difficult for her. I will compensate for it all on her behalf!"

No, Yu Ding himself is only a powerful being. When Long Jida saw him just now, he had only cultivated the Three Flowers stage. He was only one step away from mastering the Three Flowers and Five Qi to become a Golden Immortal and a powerful being.

Fu Yuan is a dignified Great Luo Immortal!

How could Longji beat him up like this?

How did the master and apprentice teach each other, and how did the other do it?
I'll definitely ask next time I see him!

Well, it's fine to open two or three small treasuries. Once you become the Heavenly Emperor, you won't have to worry about not having a chance to make up for it later.
We need to broaden our horizons!

"No need, Your Majesty. Fairy Longji has already made compensation, and even paid some extra compensation to the affected immortals for their emotional distress," said Taibai Jinxing.

"Huh? You've been compensated? And even more..." The Jade Emperor stood there, stunned.

If it weren't for this girl, where would she get such a large sum of money?

Yes, he spoiled his daughter and gave her many treasures and good things, but it was still not enough to compensate for the losses suffered by the Heavenly Court.

If the damage was no less than or equal to Yang Jian's, he figured he'd be in serious trouble even opening two small treasure vaults.

Venus nodded and said, "Yes, and the damaged Heavenly Jade Cauldron has also been repaired by the immortals."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Yu Ding, then that explains it."

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "These guys keep calling me 'poor Daoist,' but look at Taibai, when things really get tough, you're actually quite wealthy."

Venus, deeply agreeing, said, "Yes!"

This time, the Li family father and son demolished more than 90% of the entire Heavenly Court. Their master could fill the hole, yet they still keep calling themselves "poor Daoist".

The Jade Emperor leaned back in his chair to adjust to a more comfortable position and laughed, "No wonder I feel that the Heavenly Court is completely renewed compared to before. I will give Fellow Daoist Yu Ding credit for this. Next time, I will host a proper banquet for him with the Queen Mother."

Firstly, I want to thank Yu Ding for teaching his daughter, whom he had previously misled, to such a good... no, outstanding quality;
Secondly, I want to thank Yu Ding for personally paying compensation to settle the matter for his daughter and for tirelessly repairing the Heavenly Court.

There are very few masters and immortals as dedicated and responsible as this in the entire primordial world from the beginning of time to the present.

Venus remained silent.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor turned to the third page, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "The War to Seize Heaven? These remnants of the Demon Court are truly unrepentant... Hmm, it's Fellow Daoist Yu Ding and the others appearing again to rescue the Heavenly Court?"

The Jade Emperor was delighted upon seeing this.

Taibai also exclaimed, "Immortal Yuding is truly a timely rain for our Heavenly Court. Whenever a major crisis occurs, he always comes to the rescue, turning the tide and saving the empire from collapse."

The Jade Emperor shook his head and complained, "Is this the kind of person who is suitable to be the Heavenly Emperor? I really don't know what the point of forcing someone into this position is."

Venus promptly shut up.

The Jade Emperor might dare to say that, but he certainly wouldn't dare to agree.

The Jade Emperor flipped through a few more pages, all of which contained trivial matters, until he turned to another page and his expression froze: "General Li Jing of Chentang Pass... and his five sons?"

"A family of six, father and sons, are also causing trouble in Heaven?"

The Jade Emperor's expression darkened: "What, one person isn't enough? Now you've brought your father and son to fight?"

"This one……"

With his head bowed, Venus recounted the story of how Li Jing's sons came to rescue him after he was captured by the Demon-Subduing God and taken to heaven.

"Are you saying... Li Jing's request is that the gods of my Heavenly Court disregard human life?" the Jade Emperor asked, frowning.

Venus nodded and sighed, "As the saying goes, mortals below the immortals are all ants. The gods of Heaven do indeed have this problem, and it's not easy to solve."

"What's so difficult to solve? There's also the saying that everyone below the level of a sage is an ant. What did the sage do to them?"

The Jade Emperor snorted coldly: "Immediately issue an edict: From now on, if any immortal is found to have disregarded human life and is discovered by the Heavenly Court, they shall be banished to the mortal realm to learn how to be a human being."

"Demoted..." Taibai Jinxing stared at the Jade Emperor in astonishment. "This... this Heavenly Emperor's brain is so sharp after reincarnation?"

The Heavenly Court has two punishments: being banished to the mortal realm and being demoted to the mortal realm. Those who are banished to the mortal realm are sent into the cycle of reincarnation, lose their memories, and are reincarnated.

Those who are banished to the mortal realm are called "banished immortals," possessing the memories of gods but lacking their magical powers. For gods, this is worse than death, but they can indeed understand the fear and dread that mortals feel when facing powerful beings like gods and monsters.

Where is Li Jing?

The Jade Emperor said, "Although he had his reasons, it is a fact that he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and damaged the Heavenly Court, and this should not be overlooked."

Venus said, “Your Majesty, cough cough, Your Majesty is unaware of the fact that Li Jing and his sons… are of extraordinary status. Li Jing is a disciple of the Great Immortal Burning Lamp, Jinzha is a disciple of Manjushri, and Muzha is…”

"Hmm, that is indeed somewhat unusual, but Jade Cauldron Immortal will compensate his disciples for their mistakes and repair the Heavenly Court, while they can't?" the Jade Emperor snorted.

Taibai said, "Their master has already compensated for this matter, and the Heavenly Court has been repaired. Li Jing has even been appointed by the Taiqing Sage as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to command 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to serve our Heavenly Court."

He then asked, "Does Your Majesty remember the immortal who used a pagoda to suppress the six golden crows during the election for Heavenly Emperor?"

The Jade Emperor said thoughtfully, "So he... is Li Jing!"

Venus said, “Your Majesty, this Heavenly King Li is incredibly powerful and has great magical abilities. If he stays in our Heavenly Court, the Southern Heavenly Gate will be secure, and we won’t have to worry about any more troublesome incidents like the Great Uproar in Heaven.”

After saying that, he sighed, feeling utterly exhausted.

The Jade Emperor sighed, "How many times has the Heavenly Court been disturbed?"

Venus pondered for a moment and said, "Five times, right?"

Five times... The Jade Emperor sighed. This broken Heavenly Court has been torn down five times and it's still unscathed. It's really tough!
