394: Three seven nine, Jiuchen the Supre God 394: Three seven nine, Jiuchen the Supre God Upon these words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated.
You were summoned back because you were to be questioned, of course!
If it were before the reconstruction of Cang Mountain, the immortals present would have definitely said so.
But now, it wasn’t possible.
After the reconstruction of Cang Mountain, Jiang Chen was recognized by the Heavenly Dao, being praised for his significant contribution to Heaven and Earth.
Just after Heavenly Dao had rewarded Jiang Chen, you claim he has committed a cri.
Isn’t this a slap in the face to Heavenly Dao?
Therefore, not only should Jiang Chen be innocent, but he should also be ritorious.
He laughed and explained, “So ignorant subordinates triggered a misunderstanding, which impelled us to urgently summon Dao Monarch back to clarify the situation.
Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it seems we troubled Dao Monarch for nothing.”
This was Jade Emperor’s forte, smoothing things over, reducing big issues into minor ones, and making little problems disappear.
Unfortunately, while this thod was helpful, it was disrupted when encountering stubborn people, and at this mont it was clear that Jiang Chen was rigid.
The Jade Emperor wanted to gloss over the matter, but Jiang Chen did not oblige.
He spoke in his quirky tone: “Misunderstanding?
From my point of view, I’m afraid this is no misunderstanding.
If it was a misunderstanding, could it have led to Heaven Court sending five decrees in a row?”
“Also, I’ve heard that soone impersonating my subordinate murdered angels halfway, this is highly alarming news.”
“Such incidents can happen under Heaven Court’s rule.
What does this suggest?
It suggests the mastermind behind this obviously doesn’t have Heaven Court, the Jade Emperor, or all the immortals in this hall in their eyes.”
“Therefore, I earnestly beg your Majesty to use the Mirror of Haotian, comb through the Three Realms, find the real culprit behind the scenes, and condemn them to the severest punishnt, pulling out their roots.
If not done so, it would be inadequate to display the might of Heaven.”
As soon as Jiang Chen spoke, the hall fell silent once again.
Who was the mastermind behind this?
It was soone who bore a grudge against Jiang Chen, and thus did not want to see the resurgence of the Shangqing lineage.
They were a very powerful force, and Heaven Court simply did not have the power to eliminate them.
Or rather, they were an essential part of Heaven Court itself.
How could they be killed, how could they be exterminated?
After a mont of silence, the Martial Virtue Star Lord suddenly stepped forward and said sternly to Jiang Chen, “Dao Monarch, since you are aware that Heaven Court has issued five consecutive decrees to summon you back, why did you not return?
Do you have no respect left for Heaven Court or for His Majesty?”
They could not let Jiang Chen continue, it was better to divert the topic first.
Otherwise, who knew what else he would dredge up.
Thinking this, quite a few immortals stood up and started blaming Jiang Chen for disregarding Heaven Court and ignoring His Majesty’s decrees.
In the face of their accusations, Jiang Chen found it hard to feel frightened, rather he felt it was just a racket.
He gave Martial Virtue Star Lord a cold look and berated, “Martial Virtue Star Lord, do you feel guilty?
Are you afraid that I would disclose your collusion with demons?
Is that why you had to jump out in a hurry and slander first?”
On hearing this, Martial Virtue Star Lord’s face turned red imdiately.
He yelled at Jiang Chen as if he was trendously wronged, “Dao Monarch, why insult ?
I am a high official in Heaven Court, how could I stoop to colluding with demons?”
“If Dao Monarch does not explain himself today, I won’t let you off even if you are a saint’s disciple.”
Martial Virtue Star Lord’s words were full of confidence because indeed, he had not colluded with demons.
Jiang Chen blatantly ignored Martial Virtue Star Lord’s threats and addressed the Jade Emperor, “Your Majesty, during the key period of my fight against demons, Heaven Court sent five consecutive decrees to summon back to Heaven.”
“The edict claid that I had killed innocents and hard living beings.
Actually, there were people who had secretly received benefits from the demons, therefore, they spread rumors about in Heaven Court and had summoned back.”
“Their aim was to rescue those demons.
So, I have grounds to suspect that those immortals who bad-mouthed that day might have colluded with the demons.
I request Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly.”
After he finished, Jiang Chen deeply bowed to the Jade Emperor.
But before the Jade Emperor could speak, the other gods below were unable to hold back their criticisms.
“Nonsense!
Those who speak ill of you are colluding with demons, it’s utterly absurd.”
“Such shaless comnts, are you implying that the entire Heaven Court cannot point out your mistakes?”
“No wonder you are a disciple of a saint, when you do sothing wrong you won’t let others speak, you truly are domineering,”
The crowd started arguing, blaming Jiang Chen for all the evils in no ti.
As for this, Jiang Chen didn’t care.
He quietly waited for the crowd to vent their anger, then turned to the Jade Emperor and requested: “I once again respectfully request Your Majesty to use the Mirror of Haotian to see if the people present here are as upright as they claim.”
Haotian Mirror, one of the top ten Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Prehistoric World, this was the treasure given by Dao to Haotian for governing the Prehistoric World, with the ability to penetrate the Three Realms.
It can be said that as long as Haotian Mirror casts its light, no one among those present could hide their thoughts from the Jade Emperor.
However, the Jade Emperor obviously would not do so.
The Jade Emperor stated, “Beloved ministers, do not act capriciously.
The Haotian Mirror is a treasure of Heaven and Earth, it should not be used lightly.”
It was normal for the Jade Emperor to reject Jiang Chen’s proposal.
After all, if he really used the Haotian Mirror on all the immortals present, regardless of the outco, after that, no immortal would join the Heaven Court anymore.
No one would be willing to expose their secrets!
Nobody would like to have a supervisor who can snoop into their secrets.
Even if the supervisor is the Jade Emperor, it’s unacceptable.
However, the Jade Emperor knew well the concept of “one slap, one candy”, while he was denying Jiang Chen’s suggestion, he did not completely reject it.
All he heard was the Jade Emperor explaining, “Although the Haotian Mirror cannot be employed, what beloved ministers said makes sense and cannot be ignored.
Since beloved ministers are interested, then let this matter be handled by you.”
Saying this, the Jade Emperor suddenly ordered, “Today, as Jiang Chen, the Demon Suppression True Monarch has rendered ritorious service in combating demons, I, therefore, confer the title of Universally Governing Heavenly Honored One, Shenxiao Jiuchen Supre Deity, on him.
He is authorized to act on Heaven’s behalf to supervise the creation, be in charge of the life, death, growth, and decay of all beings, reward and punishnt for good and evil, to dispatch clouds and rain, slay demons and suppress evil, etc.”
“He shall control Heaven’s fortune and misfortune, hold the balance in his hands, preside over beings and humans, control life and death, detain and release, manage ministries, give birth, up to the Emperor of Heaven, down to the Emperor of Earth.
Without thunder, his commands cannot be implented; whether it concerns life or death, growth or decay, without thunder he cannot administer the governnt.”
“Thunder has to obey his political commands.”
“Also, establish Shenxiao Heavenly Palace as the residence for Supre Deity Jiuchen, and the God of Thunder Departnt shall all respect and follow his commands.”
Heavenly Honored One, Supre Deity, these were the most prestigious positions in Heaven Court, not only this, the Jade Emperor even entrusted the entire Thunder Departnt to Jiang Chen.
The Thunder Departnt can be called Heaven Court’s law enforcent departnt.
Besides being exceptionally violent, its power was also unimaginably enormous, when necessary, it could even Punish on Behalf of Heaven.
The reason for the Jade Emperor’s generous rewards to Jiang Chen wasn’t that he was magnanimous, rather these authorities were those bestowed by Heavenly Dao to Jiang Chen, he was rely transferring these authorities to Jiang Chen.
The Heavenly Dao had the ability to directly enfeoff Jiang Chen.
However, the Jade Emperor was, after all, nominally the master of the Three Realms, Heavenly Dao had to give him so face, hence, instead of directly enfeoffing Jiang Chen, it used him to enfeoff Jiang Chen.
PS: Running a low-grade fever.
It’s unbelievable, a drastic drop in temperature.
With the unpredictable hot and cold weather, this weather is getting stranger.
