This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 510 Buddha Steps Through the Southern Heavenly Gate and Causes Havoc in the Lingxiao Palace

The question of where Mount Ling is is a very complex one. First, we need to define the concept of Mount Ling: is it a real mountain, a Pure Land symbolizing the unity of all things, or a state of enlightenment for all beings?

Once you understand this concept, it becomes obvious where Mount Ling is.

Where Mount Ling is located is up to the Buddhist community, and the final interpretation rests with the Buddha.

The Heavenly Emperor believed that Mount Ling was located in the Celestial Realm. By controlling Mount Ling, he was essentially holding the lifeline of the Buddha. Even if the Buddha had divided loyalties, he could not defy the Heavenly Emperor.

Don't they realize that this was the first time Buddha had dealt with the Heavenly Emperor? Was this the first Heavenly Emperor Buddha had ever encountered?

Having witnessed the shameless Heavenly Emperor, how could Buddha be completely unprepared?

For example, Xiang Yuan had several private conversations with Buddha. Even though they couldn't find him anywhere in the Qianyuan Realm, and even with Guanyin Bodhisattva as his guarantor, Buddha still insisted on making things clear.

There's no other reason than that the Heavenly Emperor is such a thing; if you leak even the slightest thing, he'll make a fuss about it.

The location of Mount Ling is uncertain; it could be either the Celestial Realm or the Qianyuan Realm. Due to the unique nature of the Qianyuan Realm, the Buddha himself leaned towards it.

Once this opportunity is missed, it's truly gone forever.

Therefore, when the Buddha was still Abbot Huixing, Mount Ling already existed in the Qianyuan Realm.

The Great Awakening Temple is located on Wolian Mountain, the protective Buddhist formation, and the nine-grade lotus in the lotus pond behind the mountain, which is known as a "sacred object of the Buddhist kingdom"...

The Buddha had already found a new home for Mount Ling.

Colluding with the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Realm is nothing more than using a donkey while looking for a horse; when necessary, he can borrow the head of the Heavenly Emperor's fellow townsman and sell it for a good price.

This price has nothing to do with Western Buddhism and Taoism or the laws of Heaven. The former is only for Buddha, and no one else is qualified to enjoy it. The latter is also dispensable in the eyes of Buddha. Is it difficult for a great supernatural being who is capable of defying destiny to pick up some unwanted laws of Heaven on the road?

The price Buddha asked for was a promise. Now that the goal has been achieved, I'm not pretending anymore; I'm an undercover agent!
As for where the Buddha came from, how he entered the Qianyuan Realm, and how he learned about the Qianyuan Realm from, these are questions worth pondering...

Getting back to the main point, Buddha had been infiltrating the Celestial Realm for many years, solely to help the Jade Emperor subdue the false emperor. He was a positive character. Mount Ling was located in both the Qianyuan Realm and the Celestial Realm. He used his magic to enter the Celestial Realm alone, empty-handed but with two butcher knives in his hands, heading straight towards the Great Luo Heaven.

Heavenly Emperor, this way!

This terrified the Heavenly Emperor, who, despite his best efforts to protect the Heavenly Realm by hiding it in the Nine Extremes Platform and even taking the Buddha out of the Heavenly Realm, still managed to have his home stolen.

Without giving it much thought, the Heavenly Emperor rolled up the Nine Extremes Dao Platform and prepared to flee.

He hadn't figured it out before, but now he's realized that the Qianyuan Realm is a cesspool with the Three Pure Ones, and anyone who gets involved with it will die. He has a bright future ahead of him, and there's no need to let the Qianyuan Realm drag him down.

This place is not safe to stay any longer; we might as well abandon the Qianyuan Realm!

"Come when you want and leave when you want?"

Xiang Yuan snorted twice, took out a magic weapon and raised it into the air: "You can leave if you want, but we in the Qianyuan Realm are afraid of trouble. Leave the Nine Extremes Dao Platform behind!"

A towering pillar rose from the ground, piercing the sky, as if it were supporting the entire world.

The flags stretched as far as the eye could see, their golden tails billowing and rustling in the wind.

The phantom of the three-legged golden crow flapped its wings, and the golden sun shone brightly, illuminating the entire world.

At the same time, countless demonic figures emerged from the Demon-Summoning Banner, transforming into countless points of starlight that, along with the light of the great sun, covered the sky and sealed off the world.

Star Array, activate!

Once the formation was activated, the entire world was enveloped by an invisible barrier, isolating it from all external interference. This power directly severed the causal connection, forming an independent world that sealed off all of the Heavenly Emperor's escape routes, preventing him from leaving the Qianyuan Realm and retreating to the outer realms.

Demon-summoning banner!
Divine objects possess spirits, and the Demon-Summoning Banner shares the same personality as its original owner, the Demon Emperor: foul-tempered and obsessed with saving face.

Long ago, the Demon-Summoning Banner said that Xiang Yuan could only touch and look at it; he could rub against it, but not too hard.

With the version update of Xiangyuan, the Demon Summoning Banner felt that it was not impossible to go a little further, but once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. Does it have any shame?

Therefore, the current Demon-Summoning Banner still does not allow for powerful attacks from afar; if it says no, it means no.

But if Xiang Yuan insists on using force, then there's nothing it can do.

Now, Xiang Yuan is very powerful. Once the Demon-Summoning Banner is waved, the Star Array seals the sky and locks the earth, standing alone outside the heavens, existing only in the void.

"The Emperor is truly powerful."

Guanyin Bodhisattva clasps her hands together, speaks gently and pleasantly, and is particularly good at praising people.

“How can a little supernatural power compare to the wisdom of a Bodhisattva?”

The sedan chair was carried by many people, and Xiang Yuan didn't hold back, praising it back immediately.

Ji Wuzhou: "..."

Well, give me a compliment. If it weren't for my strike, the situation would have been completely reversed...

Oh, Buddha reversed the situation, then it's alright!

If it were any other Heavenly Emperor, Ji Wuzhou would have struck without hesitation, and would surely have been able to reverse the situation. However, the Heavenly Emperor before him possessed the Nine Extremes Dao Platform, which made his seemingly inevitable strike fail.

It makes him seem dispensable, like a lazy bum.

As always, consistently, it's the same whether it's upright or not.

Ji Wuzhou's gloomy mood didn't last long. When he thought that the Chaos Light and the Ancient Mirror of Reincarnation hadn't materialized today, his gloomy mood immediately improved.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, stood side by side, looking at the Heavenly Emperor with compassionate expressions.

With a feigned compassionate expression, Xiang Yuan waved his hand and erected a water mirror light screen in front of him, clicking his tongue in amazement and saying, "As expected of the Buddha, he single-handedly stormed the Ninth Heaven, chanting 'Amitabha' at every turn, and making a small pancake with every slap."

In the scene, Buddha steps through the South Heavenly Gate, wreaks havoc in the Lingxiao Palace, and is like a tiger among sheep, with no match for him, causing rivers of blood to flow in the Heavenly Court.

May Buddha have mercy, kill one god, good, good, kill another god.

All the gods and immortals in the heavens, regardless of their divine power or rank, even the supreme gods like the Six Emperors, are nothing more than a slap in the face of Buddha.

It's not that Buddha was bloodthirsty, nor that the blood oath was more exciting; Buddha had already made his actions very clear before.

The Heavenly Emperor is the embodiment of all things, and he is the embodiment of heaven and earth. The entire Heavenly Court pantheon of the Celestial Realm is formed from the Heavenly Emperor's avatars. If even one of them remains, the Heavenly Emperor has the potential to make a comeback.

These avatars of the Heavenly Emperor weren't fools. They rushed forward with screams, offering themselves up for death. They had no other choice. If they hadn't stopped the Buddha here, the latter would have gone straight to the Great Luo Heaven. Even if the Heavenly Emperor had preserved his avatars, they would have had little chance of returning.

That was a brilliant steal!
Xiang Yuan was convinced and praised, "What great supernatural being is there? So what if the false emperor has boundless magical power? In the face of Buddha's scheming... bah, in the face of Buddha's wisdom, he is nothing but a child, a laughingstock."

These words angered the Heavenly Emperor so much that he trembled all over, and also made Ji Wuzhou nod repeatedly. He also walked over with a compassionate expression.

Although I don't understand, I'm trying to join in.

On the other side, the Heavenly Emperor could not leave the Star Array and could only use the Nine Extremes Dao Platform to protect himself. Although his life was not in danger and he was not under much pressure, he knew better than anyone else that if he did not return to the Heavenly Realm now, Buddha, the sixth brother, could really kill his way through the Thirty-Six Heavens and take the Heavenly Dao Origin to offer to the Qianyuan Realm.

In the entire Celestial Realm, the only one who can rival the Buddha is the Heavenly Emperor, who is blessed by Heaven.

But he cannot go back. Once the gate is opened, the two realms will be connected. Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva only need to delay for a moment, and one of Ji Wuzhou and Xiang Yuanzhong can then lead the two realms to unite.

When that time came, having lost his destiny, he would be nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

The Heavenly Emperor is now in a dilemma: if he goes forward, he will die on the spot; if he retreats, he will die later.

Either way, I'm going to die, so I might as well drag someone down with me!

A fierce glint flashed in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes as he locked his gaze on Ji Wuzhou. "What right do you, a piece of trash, have to call yourself the Heavenly Emperor!"
If you weren't such a useless person, why would anyone else stand on your side?

You will only be sidelined and make the Heavenly Emperor a laughing stock!
I will kill you today!
Ji Wuzhou: "..."

No, open your eyes wider and look more closely. The person next to me clearly looks more like the Heavenly Emperor.

Before the Heavenly Emperor could make a move, Xiang Yuan preemptively struck, his thousand-foot-tall Dharma Form unleashing a punch that tore through the void, leaving trails of countless stars in its wake, as it fiercely struck...

There was no boat to cross the river.

With a deafening roar, the Star Array trembled violently. Ji Wuzhou, along with the Jade Emperor's Dharma Image, plummeted from the sky, streaking across the heavens like a meteor. They fell out of the Star Array, crashed into the Spirit Mountain of Xiniu Hezhou, and then landed with a thud on the Spirit Mountain of the Heavenly Pole Realm.

Ji Wuzhou was a little confused, but he quickly realized Xiang Yuan's intention in sending him to this world.

Go to the Great Luo Heaven immediately, and the Buddha will protect you!

"Next time, just talk. I have legs, I don't need to use my fists..."

Ji Wuzhou muttered something, his pupils flashed with an unusual light, and he transformed into a stream of starlight, heading straight for the South Heavenly Gate.

On this day, Buddha stepped through the South Heavenly Gate and caused a great disturbance in the Lingxiao Palace, with the Jade Emperor as his accomplice.

Even the Jade Emperor did it!
The scene was so beautiful that Xiang Yuan was extremely envious. If he didn't have the important task of stopping the Heavenly Emperor, the Gouchen Shanggong Heavenly Emperor, the Dongji Qinghua Emperor, and the Zhenwu Emperor would definitely have done it too.

Oh, and Guanyin Bodhisattva too!

Xiang Yuan broadcast the situation in the Celestial Realm live. In case the Heavenly Emperor couldn't see it clearly, he kindly projected the water screen onto the Starry Sky Screen. The Heavenly Emperor was so frightened that he turned around and was about to go back to save the day without saying a word.

boom!
The three-headed, six-armed, thousand-foot-tall Dharma form suddenly attacked, leaping into the stars and then out of the void. Taking advantage of the Heavenly Emperor Dharma form's unstable footing, it launched a sneak attack from behind and pinned it to the ground.

The six arms crashed down with tremendous force and will, pressing down hard on the back of the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image.

As the fist landed, golden light exploded.

Fists clashed, golden light splashed everywhere. The once majestic and noble Heavenly Emperor's image was now being beaten until its divine patterns shattered, its golden radiance dimmed, and even fine cracks began to appear.

With Xiang Yuan riding up in front and Buddha and Ji Wuzhou stealing from his home behind, and Guanyin Bodhisattva watching from all sides, the Heavenly Emperor was attacked from all sides, unable to spare any attention, and confused and at a loss, even forgetting to fight back.

Xiang Yuan did not use the killing move of Chaos Light. Just now, Buddha explained the truth of the Nine Extremes Dao Platform. When the Chaos Light fell, it did not hit the Heavenly Emperor, but the Heavenly Realm in the Nine Extremes Dao Platform.

To be even more precise, it struck the very essence of the Heavenly Dao in the Celestial Realm.

The fundamental principle of Heaven has been corrupted, causing the order of the three realms in the Heavenly Realm to collapse. All living beings will perish along with the end of the world. We must not act recklessly.

Xiang Yuan held off the Heavenly Emperor in the Qianyuan Realm, Buddha was wreaking havoc in the Tianji Realm, and Guanyin Bodhisattva was providing support. They would come to the aid of one side at any moment if there was any change in the situation. With the joint efforts of the three shareholders, they managed to send the broken sampan to the Da Luo Tian in the Tianji Realm.

boom!
The two realms meet, the Great Luo Heaven and the Great Luo Heaven face to face, the origin of the Heavenly Dao merges, and Ji Wuzhou's half body merges into the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Realm: Who are you? Damn, how come your efficiency is so bad?
The Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm: Stop being so picky, this will do.

As the Heavenly Daos of the two realms merged, Ji Wuzhou was once again rejected because he lacked the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed. The speed at which the two realms were integrated was truly appalling.

These things don't matter; no matter how slow the wrecked sampan is, the base-stealing tactic has already been implemented.

The three-headed, six-armed, thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image was swinging its fists when it suddenly discovered that the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Image beneath it had become extremely weak, transforming from the once lofty Heavenly Emperor into a dilapidated sampan on par with Ji Wuzhou.

Heaven! Fate! Is! Lost!
Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped her hands together, silently praising the Buddha for urging the Heavenly Emperor to lay down his weapon, a profound wisdom she found invaluable. "Hehehehehe—"

The three-headed, six-armed figure let out a hearty laugh, its fists flashing like shadows, transforming into a high wall that pressed down, instantly blasting the weak and powerless Heavenly Emperor's Dharma form into golden dust.

The Heavenly Emperor lost not only his destiny, but also his Heavenly Realm and the origin of the Heavenly Dao from which he was born. Without a source, like water or a tree, he had no supernatural powers left. In a single exchange, Xiang Yuan erased the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma form and then attacked him again, leaving his physical body shattered on the spot. He was only kept alive by the Nine Extremes Dao Platform.

Once Ji Wuzhou pushes the progress bar a little further, the Nine Extremes Dao Platform will be leaving him.

"The Heavenly Court has such a high concentration of cows, how come there are cows everywhere..."

Xiang Yuan muttered to himself, looking at the Heavenly Emperor who had collapsed to the ground and given up struggling. He dispersed his three-headed, six-armed, thousand-foot-long Dharma form, took out the Jinglan Blade, and stepped forward naked.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was watching from the side, but Xiang Yuan didn't care at all. Putting aside the fact that the Bodhisattva's mind was right there, just considering the intermittent connection between her and Baiyue Jushi, they had not only eaten and seen each other, but also used each other's things.

We're all on the same side, there's nothing to hide.

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head slightly and pointed, and a set of black robes was neatly dressed on Xiang Yuan.

As a nun, she was free from worldly desires and didn't care. She just hoped Xiang Yuan wouldn't add any unnecessary drama, because if the shareholders outside saw it, her future would be bleak.

"Why……"

Seeing Xiang Yuan approaching with a sneer and a knife in hand, the Heavenly Emperor's eyelids drooped, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy, only bewilderment.

"Why? Those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little help. That's all there is to it."

Xiang Yuan raised the Jinglan Blade: "I know what you want to ask, nothing more than the idea that the Heavenly Emperor is so high and mighty that no one should be on equal footing with him..."

"Don't be silly, the last Heavenly Emperor who did this is already dead. The strongest and oldest Heavenly Emperor was defeated and killed because of this, let alone those who came after him..."

"To run a business, you have to be flexible. If everyone can make money, the company can thrive!"

"You don't actually believe that loyalty is an eternal concept, do you?"

"Everyone treats you like a big brother not because you're loyal, but because you can help them make money!"

Xiang Yuan explained simply and directly why Qianyuan Realm was able to grow strong and powerful, and why it was able to win people's hearts. He also directly pointed out the reason for the Heavenly Emperor's great defeat in this battle.

There aren't that many traitors or collaborators. Buddha just doesn't have enough money in his pocket and wants to make more.

If you can't even understand such a simple principle, what kind of leader are you?

Since this head is useless, let's keep it!

Swish!
A dazzling blade of light, converging into a small world, flashed past, crushing the Heavenly Emperor's body, which had been split in two, into pieces. Golden dust rose into the air, and the entire body rapidly dissipated.

"You're right in some ways, but also wrong in others..."

The Heavenly Emperor's head was mostly gone, his eyes fixed on Xiang Yuan: "But how long can you suppress yourself? How long can Ji Wuzhou tolerate you? I'm very curious what choices you two will make in the future, and whether you can still act like this..."

The Heavenly Emperor left, without finishing his sentence.

Before leaving, he kindly gave Xiang Yuan a gift, or rather, he maliciously planted a hidden danger—the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed!
Xiangyuan: (一''一)
How many Heavenly Emperor Dao Seeds has he harvested?

There are too many to remember.

Xiang Yuan looked in the direction where the Heavenly Emperor had disappeared, then lowered his head and shook it: "Two tigers cannot share one mountain, you are absolutely right, but you still haven't shaken off the Heavenly Emperor's mindset. You overestimate a nobody..."

“He was born to be the Heavenly Emperor, but he lived his own life. In this respect, he is far superior to you Heavenly Emperors.”

"He is the one everyone wants!"

An emperor who didn't want to be emperor, with the help of many, not only gained a firm foothold but also grew stronger with the support of numerous shareholders...

What you want, you don't get; what you don't want, comes to you.

In the past, Xiang Yuan would have lamented the fickleness of fate, but not now; he would only complain that this thing is called scheming.

Whose scheme was it?

Xiang Yuan glanced cautiously in the direction of Sanqingtian, then carefully looked away. It was unethical to speculate about others behind their backs, so he decided not to make any wild guesses.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Daluo Heaven.

Ji Wuzhou stood idly by, bored. He yawned loudly, and seeing that no one paid attention to him, he coughed twice with his fist to show that he was still there.

Nobody paid any attention; everyone was busy.

The two realms of Heavenly Dao are busy merging, while Xiang Yuan is busy innovating. He is multitasking, either using himself as the hub of heaven and earth to first sort out the new Heavenly Dao principles in his small world before handing them over to Qian Yuan Realm; or looking at what can be used in Tianji Realm and if it can be put to use, he will carry it to Qian Yuan Realm on the spot; or he is observing the lower realms of Tianji Realm, reaching out directly to those that can be used and temporarily sealing away those that are risky.

With the two realms' celestial origins merging and the laws of the celestial realms converging, the Qianyuan Realm took the lead and absorbed the Tianji Realm, stabilizing the order of the three realms. The divine power of the corresponding divine positions advanced further, and the shareholders also made a fortune.

Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Realm: Who are you? Wow, how come you're so efficient?
Qianyuan Realm Heavenly Dao: Right? Impressive, right? We're all counting on him.

Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Realm: Who was that just now?

The Heavenly Dao of Qianyuan Realm: Two shifts are enough to make do; it's better than nothing.

He vaguely heard someone complaining about him, and with a snort, he turned and left.

He was very busy. The Heavenly Court and Heavenly Palace were destroyed in the great battle. Such a small matter—no, such a big matter involving the Heavenly Realm—Xiang Yuan couldn't make a decision on his own. He had to do it personally.

Unless there are other major issues, don't call him to Da Luo Tian. He's really busy. For trivial matters, like the future of the Three Realms, Xiang Yuan can handle them himself.

Ji Wuzhou's departure did not affect the reunification of the two realms; in fact, because he was no longer a hindrance, the reunification process was accelerated considerably.

Whoever is absent feels awkward.

Ji Wuzhou ran fast and embarrassingly failed to catch up.

Meanwhile, on Xiang Yuan's side, he won the interdimensional war for the first time on his own behalf and found that fighting was difficult, but summarizing the war afterward was even more difficult. He was so busy that Paru's CPU burned out.

After three years of no business, a single opening feeds them for three years. A dimensional war propelled the makeshift troupes of the Qianyuan Realm forward by leaps and bounds, transforming them into quite a spectacle.

"The Heavenly Emperor's arrival is wonderful! Xiang Yuan is willing to bestow upon him the nickname 'Timely Rain'."

Upon closer reflection, he pretended to fall into a trap back then, risking being called a "traitor," and used the zombie senior to lure the Heavenly Emperor, making him believe that he had foreseen everything and that everything was under his control.

The risks and rewards are roughly equal; this move was absolutely brilliant!
The winner takes all, and great scholars naturally debated the classics. Before the great scholars arrived, Xiang Yuan first defended himself and found that his arguments were plausible. He immediately labeled himself as a master strategist.

He looked at the spoils of this battle: the origin of the Heavenly Dao of the entire Celestial Realm, the complete order of the Three Realms, numerous lower realms, and the Heavenly Emperor's supreme treasure, the Nine Extremes Dao Platform.

The Nine Extremes Dao Platform is a wonderful thing. It allows one to carry the Heavenly Dao and the Three Realms with them, ensuring that they are always blessed by Heaven and are protected from the shameless act of the Heavenly Emperor stealing their home.

As long as there are no collaborators, the Nine Extremes Dao Platform will not be breached.

The concept of destiny is nonexistent in the Qianyuan Realm, and Xiang Yuan has never relied on it. However, the effect of preventing the theft of bases is extremely rare for Xiang Yuan.

With the Nine Extremes Dao Platform in hand, the Qianyuan Realm can remain invincible in interdimensional wars. Only the Qianyuan Realm can steal its base; no one else can steal from the Qianyuan Realm.

Regardless of whether they can win, these shareholders are not just for show. Just the idea that "I can hit people, but others can't hit me" sounds a bit despicable, but no, this is great wisdom, the way to win in war.

"Good stuff! You've wandered for half your life, and today you've finally met the Lord of the Underworld!"

Xiang Yuan threw the Nine Extremes Dao Platform into the void, making it encompass the entire Qianyuan Realm. In this way, he added a buff to the Qianyuan Realm that prevented outsiders from entering, so he wouldn't be afraid to bump into the Demon Realm while walking.

Of course, the Nine Extremes Dao Platform is not invincible. What supports the platform is the order of the Three Realms and the origin of the Heavenly Dao. If there is a powerful being with strong supernatural abilities, even if they cannot destroy the Three Realms in one blow, they can still gradually erase the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

This buff is added to prevent someone from suddenly raiding your base and catching you off guard.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor loves to raid other people's bases!

With the buff from the Nine Extremes Dao Platform, Xiang Yuan's courage increased considerably when looking at the lower realms.

At the same time, it became clear why the Celestial Realm established an ascension passage in the Void Realm, without worrying that the Demon Realm or the Blood Sea Realm would attack through the ascension passage.

The Taixu Realm is a good place. The Heavenly Court's camp has both dragons and phoenixes. The Heavenly Emperor is high above, ruling the entire Heavenly Court pantheon alone, and he doesn't want to bestow even a little bit of divine power upon others. The Qianyuan Realm is different. Everyone can make money together. Under the shareholders, the more cattle and horses, the better.

Xiang Yuan looked at the dragons of the Void Realm, pondering whether the Four Seas Dragon Kings had been found.

There are also about a dozen other lower realms, each with its own unique characteristics. The cattle and horses are clamoring for blessings, which is like sending charcoal in snowy weather to the Qianyuan Realm.

"Don't rush, don't fight, everyone is blessed, everyone will have a fulfilling life, and everyone has a bright future!"

Xiang Yuan nodded secretly and pulled Ji Wuzhou, who had just left, back with him: "Master, your disciple is dull-witted and has never been able to figure out the distribution of divine positions in the Heavenly Court. I hope that Master can guide me through this confusion."

As he spoke, Xiang Yuan gave up his seat.

Ji Wuzhou snorted twice and sat down. What did he say again? The Great Luo Heaven can't function without the Jade Emperor. Sure enough, after wandering around the door for a couple of times, he was immediately invited back.

Xiang Yuan explained the new recruitment standards. Now that Qianyuan Realm has fifty subordinate realms, it is considered a large company. Recruiting people can no longer be done simply by having an ID card. Large companies must maintain their dignity and must scrutinize resumes carefully when recruiting.

After explaining the recruitment criteria, Xiang Yuan conveyed the meeting's content regarding the unification of the two realms and the expansion of the Qianyuan Realm, urging Ji Wuzhou to hurry up, otherwise the shareholders would have objections.

It doesn't matter if the shareholders have opinions, as long as you don't have any ideas.

Ji Wuzhou shrugged, and seeing Xiang Yuan turn to leave, he raised his hand and called out, "Where are you going, disciple? Aren't you going to stand by and give me guidance... or watch me guide you?"

"Master, have confidence! You are the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Central Golden Palace!"

"..."

Of course I know, the key question is whether you know it or not!

Ji Wuzhou rolled his eyes. Heaven is my witness, his efficiency has never been great. Suddenly, he was given such a large workload. He was worried that he couldn't finish it all by himself and that it would incur Heaven's displeasure.

The Way of Heaven is not something human can understand. It's one thing to despise it, but to be sarcastic and mean-spirited, and to especially enjoy putting others down, and to their faces, it's nothing like the pleasant way Xiang Yuan speaks.

Helpless, Xiang Yuan comforted the somewhat insecure Ji Wuzhou and then said, "Master, I have made an appointment with Buddha for a meal. I reckon it won't be a pleasant one. In case Buddha throws a cup as a signal and eight hundred donkeys with knives and axes jump out, I won't take you with me."

Are you and Buddha discussing some important matters concerning the order of the Three Realms?

I am the Jade Emperor, how could you two ignore me and chat privately? Do you even respect me?
As usual, Ji Wuzhou was furious, then looked at Xiang Yuan expectantly: "Then remember to come back and tell me what you talked about!"

"Absolutely!"

Xiang Yuan said matter-of-factly, "Master, you are the boss. Buddha and I are just working for you."

"Then I have no problem with it."
