Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

The Queen Mother nodded, "It's the same on my end. However, Yang Jian's words are probably correct. Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?"

The Jade Emperor pondered, "Yang Chan isn't the key, nor is the Lotus Lantern. To avoid the Heavenly Laws being altered and us losing face, we must close the Heavenly Court. However, doing so would be tantamount to being stripped of its power."

What difference does it make if the Heavenly Laws are violated?

"This method is inappropriate." The Queen Mother shook her head. "Even if we are to lose, we should lose clearly and decisively. What kind of nonsense is it to simply close off the Heavenly Court!"

Yang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. That Daoist has already provided two methods to resolve the situation in Heaven."

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's eyes lit up.

"Oh, Yang Jian, please tell us in detail. We want to hear what this Daoist has to say."

Yang Jian nodded: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty should follow the doctrine of converting barbarians to Buddhism?"

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother nodded.

Yang Jian: "The Daoist Master said that if His Majesty and His Majesty disregard their dignity and directly offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, bestowing upon themselves the titles of Ancestor of All Buddhas and Mother of All Buddhas, the predicament will be immediately resolved. The Buddhist sect..."

"Prosperity! Even my Heavenly Court has become a Buddhist center, isn't that a great prosperity?"

The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor were dumbfounded.

That's a great idea!

If it weren't for the fact that they had been sitting in the supreme position of the Three Realms for too long and had to consider their reputation, this would have been the most brilliant solution.

"No, no, this is inappropriate! How could the Empress and I do something so shameless?" The Jade Emperor shook his head. "Besides, the celestial beings of Heaven wouldn't agree. Let's discuss another method."

Let's go!

“Another method is similar,” Yang Jian nodded. “That is to establish a Pure Land of Merit, and I will be the master of this Pure Land. At that time, Your Majesty and His Majesty will send…”

With the help of some divine incarnations, one can share their fortune with the Pure Land of Merit.

"With the flourishing of Buddhism, we are also considered part of Buddhism, so it is only natural that we share in its fortune."

"As long as we can withstand the Buddhist methods, this plan will be a success."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother fell into deep thought.

The journey to the West involves a shift in the fortunes of heaven and earth, and this shift is no small matter.

Once Yang Jian is officially appointed as the Lord of the Pure Land of Merit, this fortune will be enough to propel him from the peak of the Golden Immortal realm to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Once a Fighting Golden Immortal reaches the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, they will undoubtedly become the most terrifying being in the Three Realms.

It is an existence that can threaten the Heavenly Court.

However, if Yang Jian is not nurtured, the Heavenly Court's fortune will immediately be divided by Mount Ling.

At that time, the Heavenly Court will also decline and lose face.

Nurturing Yang Jian could potentially pose a threat to the Heavenly Court in the future.

If the price is too low, the Heavenly Court will definitely suffer.

After thinking for a while, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother made a decision.

"This plan is feasible," the Jade Emperor nodded. "However, where do you intend to locate this Pure Land of Merit?"

"Let's go to Guanjiang Estuary," Yang Jian pondered. "Although Guanjiang Estuary is in the Central Plains, it's located to the west of the Central Plains, which is just right."

The Jade Emperor nodded: "Guanjiang Estuary is good."

The Queen Mother frowned: "However, once the Pure Land of Merit is established, Guanjiang Estuary will become a place of trouble, and the people will suffer."

Yang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Therefore, I must ask Your Majesty and Your Majesty to issue an edict ordering the Mountain God, the Earth God, and the Water God to relocate the people near Guanjiang Estuary."

The Jade Emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the table and nodded in agreement: "This matter is easy; I will issue a decree. In addition, the matter of bestowing upon you the title of Lord of the Pure Land of Merit will be carried out immediately."

"Someone, prepare an incense table for me and the Empress; we are going to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth."

"Yes."

At a single command, the Heavenly Court sprang into action.

Fairy maidens and celestial generals prepared incense tables and delivered various items to the sacrificial site.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother led Yang Jian to the scene.

"Your Majesty, let's go. Success or failure depends on today."

The Jade Emperor led the Queen Mother to the sacrificial site and lit incense and candles.

The Queen Mother did as instructed.

The two men, with solemn expressions, placed incense and candles in the incense burner and prayed quietly.

A moment later, joy appeared on their faces.

"It's done!"

"Summon all the immortals and order them to attend court immediately."

"Yes."

moment.

All the immortals gathered in the Lingxiao Palace.

"I wonder what business His Majesty and Empress have summoned the immortals for?"

"Yes, today is not the time for court."

"Could it be that another demon has been unleashed?"

"What a joke! What demon has been born that requires an announcement to all the gods? The Li family alone can sweep across the Three Realms."

Li Jing laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoists, you flatter me. It is all thanks to His Majesty and Empress's wisdom that the Three Realms are at peace and no powerful demons have emerged, which has allowed me to accumulate so many merits."

Just then, a loud voice rang out.

"Your Majesty and Her Majesty have arrived!"

The next moment, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother entered the hall with majestic bearing and slowly sat on the throne of the rulers of the Three Realms.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand: "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor's expression was solemn: "I have summoned all of you immortals today to announce an important matter. You should not have forgotten about the journey to the West, should you?"

"Your Majesty, only a few hundred years have passed since the westward journey, how could we possibly forget?"

"Yes, it feels just like yesterday."

The Jade Emperor nodded: "I recently obtained a heavenly secret: the loss of the Heavenly Court's fortune has already begun."

Upon hearing this, the immortals were in an uproar.

The Heavenly Court is where all the immortals share common interests; it's like a company where they work.

No, it is infinitely more important than a modern corporation.

Even if a modern employee is fired, the worst they can do is lose some money.

However, if the Heavenly Court's fortune declines, the immortals may perish due to insufficient fortune.

Fortune is related to the authority of heaven and earth. When that authority weakens, the gods and immortals have no support and will naturally decline.

The shift in the Heavenly Court's fortunes caused even greater anxiety among ordinary deities than the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor might lose face, but their lives would be in danger.

"This

"Why is my fortune starting to slip away? I've only been an immortal for five thousand years. I'm so young, am I going to perish soon?"

Requesting flowers

"I haven't been an immortal for long either. I've only just been promoted to a third-rank immortal official. If my luck is lost, won't I also suffer?"

The crowd looked alarmed and began to discuss the matter amongst themselves.

"Your Majesty is wise. You must have already come up with a perfect plan by summoning us here?" Li Changgeng suddenly asked.

The Jade Emperor smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, a solution has been found. However, this solution still needs the help of all the immortals."

"Your Majesty, please speak. We will gladly die for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As long as the Heavenly Court is powerful, the dead can be resurrected through the Investiture of the Gods, which is completely different from the Heavenly Court's decline and complete demise.

If not now, when?

"This is easy. Simply decree the establishment of a Pure Land of Merit, and appoint a Golden Immortal to govern it. The Heavenly Court's fortune will then be distributed to this Pure Land. In this way, although the Heavenly Court's fortune will be slightly diminished..."

However, it is on par with Mount Ling and the Pure Land, and will not cause any upheaval in heaven and earth, nor will it affect the duties of the immortals.

After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

To bestow a pure land by imperial decree requires not only the permission of Heaven and Earth, but also the courage of a Golden Immortal to face all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of Mount Ling. Who would do it?
