I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

The deep voice of the blue ox echoed throughout the Lingxiao Palace.

"My master said that this matter is entangled in cause and effect, and involves many aspects. I implore Your Majesty to consider the overall stability of the Three Realms and give this old Taoist some face, so that we can let this matter rest..."

After saying this, the green ox closed its eyes and waited quietly in the main hall.

The Jade Emperor sat upright on his throne, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

The edict from Laozi brought by the green ox gave him a way out.

If this continues, Yang Jian, Nezha, and the Monkey King, with their overwhelming fighting power, will find themselves in a dilemma with 100,000 heavenly soldiers.

If he insists on forcibly suppressing them, not only is the outcome uncertain, but it may also shake the foundation of the Heavenly Court, cause turmoil in the Three Realms, and waste vital energy in vain...

Weighing the pros and cons, the oral instruction from Laozi is the only respectable way out at present.

Moreover, who in the Three Realms would dare to disrespect this Dao Ancestor?

This Heavenly Court should be likened to a publicly listed company.

The Three Pure Ones are like directors, Lao Tzu is like the executive director, and the Jade Emperor is just the CEO on duty. When the chairman gives an order, the CEO, even if he has no choice, can only follow the rules.

Moreover, besides him, there are also the Western Taiji Heavenly Emperor, the Central Ziwei North Pole Emperor, the Southern Antarctic Longevity Emperor, the Gouchen Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor, and the Houtu Earthly Deity, all of whom are qualified to sit on the throne of the Lord of the Nine Heavens.

The Jade Emperor was, after all, a supreme being who had endured countless tribulations. His mortal name was Zhang Bairen. At this moment, even though he had a thousand grievances in his heart, he could only let out a sigh.

That sigh contained a deep weariness and a helpless compromise.

"Never mind..."

The Jade Emperor covered his face with one hand and waved his other hand weakly.

"Venus..."

"Your subject is here!"

Venus, feeling as if granted a pardon, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Draft an imperial edict immediately! This matter is entrusted to your full authority!"

"My lord, I obey your order!"

Venus already had a draft in mind, and soon he produced an imperial edict.

"Thanks to the mercy of Laozi and the grace of the Jade Emperor, this decree is hereby proclaimed throughout the Three Realms that all cases of mixed immortal and demon bloodlines prior to the issuance of the 'Memorial on the Investigation of Intermarriages Between Immortals, Mortals, and Demons' will no longer be investigated!"

"Heaven and Earth are moved, and the universe follows the Way. The mother and daughter, Qing'er, are loyal and steadfast, and Zhang Tianshi has realized his error and returned to the right path. Therefore, from this day forward, any human, demon, or immortal who is truly in love, regardless of their rank, may petition the Heavenly Court. Upon approval and registration by the Heavenly Court, they will be permitted to freely unite!"

"Qing'er and her mother share a deep bond, and their actions have moved heaven and earth. Therefore, Qing'er's mother, Li Chujian, is hereby bestowed the title of Fox Fairy Goddess, to be worshipped by mortals, and a shrine is erected for her to receive sacrifices, in order to demonstrate the mercy of heaven!"

The three decrees represent both a compromise and a correction to the previous regulations, "Memorial on Impeaching Immortals and Mortals for Intermarriage with Demons."

The first rule was to appease the past, the second to set rules for the future, and the third was to give this turmoil a perfect ending and fulfill Zhang Tianshi's wishes.

After reading the imperial edict, Venus bowed to the Green Ox.

"Lord Green Ox, is Laozi satisfied with this arrangement?"

The blue ox nodded slightly with its massive head, a look of satisfaction flashing in its eyes.

It said no more, mooed at the old man Taibai, and then turned and left on its own.

As soon as they left the Lingxiao Palace, auspicious clouds appeared beneath the ox's hooves and slowly flew away from the area of ​​the Lingxiao Palace.

As soon as it was out of sight of the immortals, the green ox plopped down on the cloud.

Moo!

I was so suffocated!

The ox's strong, well-defined, and powerful muscles quickly became rounded, like a deflated balloon.

The Divine Steed Green Ox instantly transformed into a plump and strong beef ox.

It muttered.

"I told you I didn't want to come! The master insisted on making me come, and I have to be careful about my appearance at all times. This lousy job is nothing compared to being in the Tushita Palace, eating immortal herbs and sleeping soundly, which is much more comfortable..."

Despite its complaints, the auspicious clouds beneath the green ox's feet did not stop for a moment, and it flew straight toward Zhongnan Mountain.

As they approached Louguantai on Zhongnan Mountain, the old ox took a deep breath, and his fat instantly disappeared, transforming him back into the magnificent blue ox!

........

Above Louguantai on Zhongnan Mountain, the golden light of the Heavenly Net appeared and disappeared, and the chilling atmosphere remained as solid as ice.

When the Azure Ox God arrived riding on the clouds, everyone present—immortals and gods—was drawn to his attention.

The heavenly soldiers and generals whispered among themselves.

"It's Laozi's mount! How did it get here?"

Wang Lingguan clenched his fists, his heart pounding with excitement.

"Great! It's Laozi's mount! I'm finally saved! Let whoever wants to deal with this messy family affairs do their thing; I'm not getting involved!"

Yang Jian was originally reclining on the back of the Howling Celestial Dog, drinking and chatting with everyone. When he saw the Green Ox, he suddenly sat up, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He quickly stood up and stood at attention.

Nezha also stood respectfully, his magical treasures concealing the strange phenomenon, and his Fire-Tipped Spear lowered to the ground as a sign of respect.

Although Sun Wukong did not recognize the bull, seeing Yang Jian and Nezha's respectful attitude, he knew that the visitor was no ordinary person.

He scratched his head and looked at the old ox curiously, secretly thinking to himself.

"What a robust ox! This beef alone must weigh several thousand pounds. If we were to slaughter it and eat the meat, it would be enough for my junior brother and me to eat for several days!"

Although Ning Chen had never met the Green Ox God before, seeing Yang Jian and Nezha's serious attitude, he naturally understood that this ox was no ordinary creature.

"Greetings, Lord Green Ox!"

Yang Jian and Nezha bowed in unison.

Ning Chen then realized that this ox was actually the mount of Laozi, the Green Ox!

Wow, that golden ring around the old ox's neck, could it be the Vajra Bracelet that can catch anything?

The blue ox flicked its tail in response.

Its bull-like eyes swept over the crowd, and when its gaze landed on Ning Chen, it paused for a moment and carefully examined him.

Old Niu thought to himself, "This young man has an extraordinary bearing and is almost supernaturally intelligent. The disciple chosen by the master is indeed no ordinary person."

Ning Chen felt a chill run down his spine. The way this blue ox was looking at him was so strange. Could it be that this ox was a carnivore?

This was the first time in his life that he had seen Laozi's mount, the Green Ox, and his mind raced with thoughts.

This ox will be one of the obstacles that give Monkey King a headache on his journey to the West. And that Vajra Bracelet is even more terrifying. Now that we have the good fortune to see it, we should hurry up and try to get on its good side.

Senior Brother Dayan is right: the more friends you have, the more paths you can take!

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Ning Chen immediately and discreetly tagged Luo Zhantian in the Divine Realm chat group.

"Teacher Luo! It's extremely urgent! Quickly use your connections to get me dozens of baskets of the freshest and sweetest tangerines from Earth! The faster, the more the better!"

Although Luo Zhantian didn't understand, what time is it, and you're still thinking about eating tangerines?

But he did not hesitate, knowing that Ning Chen never did anything useless.

He responded immediately.

"Roger! Immediately! Give me ten minutes!"

He quickly contacted the Divine Realm Walker, who was currently on Earth, through his Wuxia Divine Realm chat group.

"Quickly buy some tangerines for the teacher, the more the better, and the sooner the better!"

"What does Luo Shen need so many tangerines for? Is it for his wedding banquet?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

"Okay, okay!"

Without further ado, the Green Ox opened its mouth and spat out a celestial pill the size of a longan, brimming with vitality. This celestial pill emitted a faint fragrance and floated in front of Ning Chen on its own.

Ning Chen reached out and took the elixir. The elixir seemed to be alive, constantly pulsating in Ning Chen's palm.

Ning Chen was a little confused. With so many people present, why would you give me a magic pill? Are we that close?
