Chapter 545 Special Invitation to the Sage Taiqing to Visit the Heavenly Court
Chen Changsheng didn't say much.
After bowing to Haotian and Yaochi, he turned and left the Lingxiao Palace.
Along the way, many heavenly soldiers and generals bowed their heads in respect when they saw him.
"I have met the God of Law Enforcement."
The voices were more synchronized than ever before.
And even more respect.
As Chen Changsheng walked up the Heavenly Stairs, he could still hear screams coming from the direction of the Thunder Punishment Platform.
"what!"
"I was wrong!"
"Spare me!"
The sound was crushed by thunder and scattered by the wind.
Chen Changsheng did not turn around.
He didn't carry out the executions to hear screams of agony.
He simply wanted everyone to remember that the oaths made in Heaven were not meant to be broken.
Outside the Hall of Law Enforcement.
The divine light of justice slowly shone forth.
The divine generals at the temple gate knelt down upon seeing his return.
"Welcome back to the Palace, God of Law Enforcement."
Chen Changsheng said, "Get up."
He stepped into the Hall of Law Enforcement.
The hall remained solemn and imposing.
Scrolls of celestial laws floated in the air, divine chains hung down, and the divine fire of justice never went out.
Chen Changsheng stood in the center of the hall and pointed with his hand.
Divine runes flew out and landed in various parts of the hall.
"Pass on the order."
"For the next thousand years, the Law Enforcement Hall will operate according to the old system."
"All celestial beings and deities who violate the law shall be recorded."
"Important case files are temporarily sealed in the judicial cabinet."
"I will personally conduct the trial after I emerge from seclusion."
The divine generals in the hall replied in unison, "As you command."
Chen Changsheng then took out another blank document.
He wielded his pen with the divine power of the judiciary.
With each stroke of the pen, the light of divine law is born.
"The Peach Banquet is approaching."
"Those who enter the Heavenly Court must not engage in private fights, destroy the Heavenly Palace, or disrupt the Heavenly Court's fortune."
"If there are disputes among the disciples of different sects, the Hall of Law Enforcement may adjudicate them."
"Those who violate this rule will be punished according to the laws of Heaven."
The final stroke was made.
The entire scroll of documents transformed into golden light and hung in the center of the Hall of Law Enforcement.
The divine general in the hall looked at the scroll of documents, his heart tightening with anxiety.
This is not an ordinary regulation.
This is to draw a line for the powerful beings in the Three Realms in advance.
A thousand years later, if anyone crosses the line, the Hall of Law Enforcement will have reason to take action.
Chen Changsheng looked toward the secluded training ground at the rear.
"No entry without permission."
"If there are any important matters, please consult His Majesty first."
The divine general replied, "As you command."
Chen Changsheng entered the secluded meditation room.
The stone gate crashed down.
In the quiet room, the divine light of justice flowed like water.
Chen Changsheng sat cross-legged.
He flipped his palm, and the Heavenly Rules document appeared, along with the residual water vein insights from the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
The power of the Primordial Golden Immortal slowly circulated within his body.
This time, he intends to fully digest what he has gained from the East China Sea.
Thunder, water veins, dragon clan's fortune, the path of justice.
All strengths need to be refined.
He closed his eyes.
Outside the Hall of Law Enforcement, the divine light receded.
Meanwhile, in the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian was already looking at Venus.
"Taibai".
"Draft a letter".
"The Peach Banquet invites all beings from the Three Realms to Heaven."
Venus bowed.
"Your humble servant obeys the imperial decree."
Haotian's gaze swept across the sea of clouds outside the palace.
"The first letter was sent to Shouyang Mountain."
Venus's expression turned solemn.
Because he knew.
With this invitation from the Heavenly Court, all the saints of the Three Realms must look up at the heavens.
Whether the sage in Shouyang Mountain would respond was the first rumor to emerge.
The golden invitation card solidified in Venus's palm.
There are only four characters on it.
The Peach Banquet.
The next moment, he said in a low voice, "Those who go to Shouyang Mountain must be cautious."
Outside the hall, a celestial official slowly stepped forward.
"Your subject is willing to go."
Haotian looked at him, his eyes flickering slightly.
At that moment, the golden letter also revealed the Heavenly Court's fortune, which even the sages could not ignore.
When the Heavenly Invitation left the South Heavenly Gate, the sky was bathed in brilliant light.
That was no ordinary celestial light.
Rather, it is the manifestation of the orthodox fortune of the Heavenly Court.
Above the gold invitation, the four characters "Pan Tao Da Hui" (Peach Banquet) are written with a dignified and profound style.
It flew over nine layers of clouds and passed through layers of fierce winds and thunder, before falling onto the primordial land.
The celestial official who was ordered to go to Shouyang Mountain was named Xuande.
He wasn't particularly famous in Heaven, but he was known for his composure.
Venus chose him not because he was the most eloquent.
It's not because he doesn't know when to speak, but because he knows when to shut up.
When visiting the Supreme Sage at Shouyang Mountain, the worst thing you can do is talk too much.
Xuande stood on auspicious clouds, holding the letter in both hands.
Throughout the journey, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
The vast and boundless land of antiquity.
From the Heavenly Court to Shouyang Mountain, one can see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the lives of all kinds of people.
The news of his passing has now spread.
Many cultivators looked up and saw celestial officials descending to the mortal realm, and they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Are these people from Heaven?"
"Judging from the direction, it seems to be heading towards Shouyang Mountain."
"Shouyang Mountain, that is the Taoist temple of the Supreme Saint Taiqing."
"The Heavenly Court has just unified the four seas, and now it needs to invite a sage?"
"This Peach Banquet is probably no ordinary event."
Xuande heard these discussions, but he didn't look at them.
He knew that this was exactly the effect His Majesty wanted.
The Heavenly Court doesn't hold celebrations behind closed doors.
Instead, it's about letting the entire prehistoric world see it.
After the four seas returned to heaven, the Heavenly Court invited all the saints to a banquet.
Coming or not coming is an attitude.
Shouyang Mountain.
This mountain is quiet and undisturbed, lacking any grand or magnificent features.
But the closer he got, the more Xuande felt an indescribable pressure.
That's not being domineering.
It wasn't murderous intent either.
Rather, it is a serene tranquility where all things return to stillness.
It was as if the workings of heaven and earth slowed down a bit when they reached this point.
Xuande stayed outside the mountain and dared not enter it directly.
He straightened his clothes and held up the gold invitation with both hands.
"The Heavenly Messenger Xuande, by the decree of the Heavenly Emperor, has come to pay homage to the Supreme Saint."
The sound traveled into the mountains.
Within Shouyang Mountain, the clouds and mist sway gently.
A moment later, a boy came out.
The boy looked at Xuande with a calm expression.
"The sage knows why you have come."
"Come with me."
Xuande cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
The boy turned and went into the mountain.
Xuande followed behind.
In Shouyang Mountain, the grass and trees do not contend, and the streams are silent.
As he traveled, Xuande found his mind becoming much calmer.
The tension that had arisen earlier in Heaven due to being ordered to meet the Holy One was gradually soothed.
Before long, he arrived outside the Eight Views Palace.
The palace gates were not closed.
The Supreme Sage sat upright on a futon.
He had white hair and beard, a calm expression, and no sharp edge about him.
But Xuande only glanced at it before immediately lowering his head.
Even without displaying their power, a sage is not someone that ordinary immortals or gods can look directly at.
Xuande knelt down and bowed.
"Heavenly Lord Xuande pays respects to the Supreme Saint."
The Supreme Being opened his eyes.
"stand up."
The voice was calm, yet impossible to disobey.
Xuande stood up, still keeping his head down.
"By order of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Pool Goddess, the Heavenly Court will hold the Peach Banquet a thousand years from now."
"We hereby specially invite the Sage of Taiqing to move to the Heavenly Court."
After saying that, he raised the gold ingot high above his head.
The golden letter flew up on its own and landed in front of the Supreme Lord.
The Supreme Being glanced at it.
The invitation card was imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Court, and the energy of the four sea veins swirled around it.
He remained silent for a moment.
The Eight Views Palace was so quiet that only the soft crackling of the hearth fire could be heard.
Xuande felt a slight tension in his heart.
He dared not press for answers.
If the Supreme Sage does not agree, the Heavenly Court cannot force him.
But this invitation from Shouyang Mountain was extremely important.
If the Supreme Being agrees, all other factions will reassess the Heavenly Court's importance.
After a long silence, the Supreme Lord said, "The four seas have returned to Heaven."
Xuande said, "That's right."
"The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement, Chen Changsheng, was ordered to go to the East Sea and has already brought the dragon clans of the four seas into the Heavenly Court's Water Department."
The Supreme Being remained unmoved.
Xuande said in a low voice, "It is indeed the God of Law Enforcement."
Taishang said, "He has indeed accomplished something quite significant."
Xuande's heart skipped a beat.
The sage himself gave it a very high evaluation.
These four words are more precious than many rewards bestowed by the Heavenly Court.
"The Peach Banquet, is the Jade Emperor inviting all the sects?"
Xuande said, "Your Majesty intends to invite all the immortals and gods of the Three Realms to the grand gathering."
"The sacred sites of the saints are naturally also among those invited."
