Chapter 59 Venus: The Heavenly Emperor's throne rotates, next year it's my turn! (Please subscribe)
heaven.

The Palace of the Heavenly Clouds!

The Jade Emperor sits regally on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, his boundless light illuminating the Three Realms, solemn and dignified.

Venus bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, the Ox King has made three requests."

"One of them is to release the three demons imprisoned by the Heavenly Court: the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, and the Yu Rong King, as well as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, who was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain."

"Secondly, he wants to read the Heavenly Library. The Ox King is very interested in the scriptures and supernatural powers and secret techniques collected by the Heavenly Library and hopes that the Great Heavenly Venerable will allow him to enter the Library Pavilion to read the books!"

Thirdly.

Venus paused slightly at this point, seemingly unsure how to express himself.

The Jade Emperor, however, asked curiously, "What is it? Did the Ox King make some unreasonable request that you, my celestial minister, do not know how to address?"

Venus truthfully replied, "Your Majesty, it is not so. The third request made by the Ox King is not only not excessive, but on the contrary..."

"On the contrary, what?"

"It was somewhat unexpected."

After thinking for a moment, Venus finally used the word "unexpected" to describe Niu Jun's third request.

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity appeared on the Jade Emperor's usually calm and composed face: "What kind of request could possibly warrant such a description from you, Immortal?"

Venus smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, the Ox King's third request is that he hopes to be given a sinecure after joining the Heavenly Court, because the Ox King is of a simple and indifferent nature, and is devoted to cultivation, and does not want to be disturbed by trivial matters."

He was naturally indifferent to worldly affairs, devoted himself to spiritual practice, and did not want to be disturbed by trivial matters.
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, immediately showed a speechless expression.

"If I remember correctly, when the Bull King was in Beiju Luzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, he was not a man of simple tastes. He almost fought against the Heavenly Court with that little monkey."

"Now that I want him to do his part for all living beings in the Three Realms, he has become indifferent to worldly affairs and has decided to focus on cultivation."

"Does he think that my Heavenly Court is just a place to support idle people?"

The Jade Emperor was amused by Niu Jun's third request and said without any politeness, "Go and tell him that I have agreed to the first two requests, but not the third one."

"If you want to enjoy the status of a Heavenly Emperor, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities. There is no such thing as a free lunch if you don't want to pay the price and only want to enjoy the benefits."

In a word.

The Heavenly Court does not tolerate idlers!

If Niu Jun's request were granted, the other emperors and gods in Heaven would probably be in an uproar.

When Venus heard the Jade Emperor's refusal, a helpless expression appeared on his face, and he sighed:

"Your Majesty, the Ox King also knows that his third request is somewhat unreasonable, so he said that he can give up the title of Emperor, as long as he can have a sinecure."

The position of the Heavenly Emperor is extremely important.

Each one must gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao and assume corresponding responsibilities.

This duty does not originate from the Heavenly Court's regulations, but from the Heavenly Way, and even the Heavenly Emperor cannot disobey it.

Therefore, Niu Jun also knew that it was impossible for the Heavenly Emperor to not work as long as he held the position, so he proposed to give up the position of Emperor and only seek a leisurely immortal post.

Because celestial positions are established by the Heavenly Court, they do not require the permission of the Heavenly Dao, nor do they require the fulfillment of Heavenly Dao responsibilities. For example, Sun Wukong's position as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is a typical example of a leisurely celestial position.

Niu Jun's reason for making this choice is very simple.

With the aid of the Enlightenment Mirror, he had no shortage of the fortune and divine assistance that came with his Heavenly Court position.

Instead of wasting this energy, it would be better to build good relationships with the members of the All-Heavens Chat Group and study more of the Great Dao Laws of other universes.

Even if things don't go well, you can still enjoy yourself.

There's really no need to get involved in the conflicts of the Three Realms for the sake of such a small amount of cultivation effect. It would not only be exhausting but also offend people.

The Jade Emperor was speechless upon hearing this.

No wonder Venus used the word "unexpected" to describe it; indeed, the Ox King's third request was truly unexpected.

The Jade Emperor paused for a moment, then said, “Go and tell the Bull King that I have given him two choices regarding his celestial rank and position.” “One is to become the Nine Heavens Mysterious Supreme Demon-Subduing Emperor, who will be in charge of military affairs and battles in the human world, travel throughout the six directions to subdue all spirits, break all magic and destroy evil sects, enter the Upper Palace of Gouchen, and obtain the rank of Heavenly Emperor.”

"One is the Xuan Tian Dali Tianzun, whose celestial rank is above the highest level. He is not under the command of the Four Emperors, nor does he hear of the Heavenly Court's summons. He has a celestial palace, a salary, and his name is recorded in the celestial register, but he does not receive a rank or the offerings of the Three Realms."

"Ask him which of these two choices he prefers!"

The Jade Emperor valued Niu Jun highly, so he decided to give him another chance to choose and revealed the original title and rank he was to be granted.

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "When you meet the Queen of the Ox, you can tell her about the mysteries of the Heavenly Emperor's position."

However, they mistakenly believed that Niu Jun was unaware of the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Emperor's position.

That's why I'm thinking of asking for a sinecure.

Upon hearing this, Venus bowed and accepted the decree, saying, "Your subject obeys!"

……

They left the Lingxiao Palace.

Venus once again rode a cloud to Mount Cuiyun and conveyed the Jade Emperor's decree to Niu Jun.

“After Venus returns, he can directly inform the Great Celestial Venerable that he is already content with a sinecure and dares not aspire to the position of Emperor.”

Niu Jun was well aware of his own limitations.

Think about it, even a veteran Taiyi Realm expert like Venus is content with the position of Star Lord and doesn't dare to aspire to the position of Emperor. How could he possibly aspire to the position of Emperor?

Aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Court will use him as cannon fodder?
The Nine Heavens Profound Ultimate Demon-Slaying Emperor!

This title sounds impressive, but little do people know that military campaigns and battles consume the most luck and merit. Although I have a lot of luck and merit, it is not something that can be consumed in this way.

Not to mention that even after obtaining the title of the Nine Heavens Profound Extreme Demon-Slaying Emperor, one still has to go to the Gouchen Palace to receive orders, and that Gouchen Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor is not someone to be trifled with.

Niu Jun must be out of his mind to choose such a miserable job instead of living a normal life.

Therefore, the celestial position of Xuantian Dali Tianzun is still the best. As long as one holds a position in the Heavenly Court, one can have a celestial palace and a salary, without having to do any work at all.

Such a good thing is practically impossible to find even with a lantern.

Upon hearing this, Venus showed a hint of helplessness on his face, and asked with some reluctance, "Does the Ox King know the mysteries of the Heavenly and Earthly Fruits?"

Niu Jun nodded: "Although I haven't experienced it firsthand, I have heard that if one attains the fruit of heaven and earth, one can receive the blessing of heaven and great fortune, which is beneficial to cultivation!"

Although Niu Jun didn't know much about the Heavenly and Earthly Fruits, he could still guess some of them.

However, the effects of the Heaven and Earth Fruits did not hold much appeal for him.

That's why he gave up his position as the Heavenly Emperor and chose a leisurely immortal post.

Venus chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but the effects of this Heaven and Earth Fruit on us cultivators are immense, far surpassing those of ordinary elixirs and spiritual objects."

"If one attains the position of a Heavenly Emperor, one will not only receive the blessing of Heaven and great fortune, but also be able to use the power of Heaven and Earth to fight enemies."

"More importantly, once you obtain the Emperor's position, the laws of Heaven will be completely open to you, allowing you to directly face the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. This effect is immeasurable even for us Primordial Chaos experts."

"Therefore, I hope that the Bull King can think it over carefully and not rush to make a decision. After all, such a good opportunity to rise to the top in one step is not available every time."

"Once this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to obtain the title of Emperor again!"

As Venus spoke, his eyes revealed immense envy and longing.

Do you think he doesn't want to obtain the position of Heavenly Emperor?
It's not that I don't want to, it's just that there are too many competitors, and I don't have the ability!

If you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. As a latecomer, it's no wonder he couldn't possibly snatch the Heavenly Emperor's position from those big shots.

When Venus thought of this, he couldn't help but recall what he had learned in the Daoist world established by Niu Jun, and he silently made a vow in his heart.

He vowed that when the next era begins, he will definitely seize the throne of an emperor!
After all, there's an old saying that goes something like that.

The throne of the Heavenly Emperor rotates, next year it's my turn!
The position of Heavenly Emperor is held by Taibai Jinxing, just as others have.
