After Vairocana Tathagata finished speaking, he saw many immortal officials in the Heavenly Palace discussing the matter. After all, this matter was not small, but not small either. Although Buddhism occupied an entire continent in the lower world, in the upper world, facing a behemoth like the Heavenly Court, it was still not worth mentioning. Even some high-ranking star gods had a higher status than the entire Buddhist sect.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the Buddhist paradise is one of the top-ranked caves and star palaces left over from the ancient times in the upper realm, and Buddhism has inherited the heritage and a trace of luck of Buddhism in the ancient times.
At this time, he expressed his willingness to join the Heavenly Court, so everyone had to consider and treat it carefully. Many immortal officials looked directly at the emperor sitting on the highest cloud bed and the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
Emperor Tianguan: "I will personally report this matter to Beiyu Tianzun. In the ancient times, the Western Paradise was ranked among the top ten blessed places. I think Tianzun will also pay attention to this matter."
At this time, Mahavairocana asked, "What about the demon world?"
The Emperor of Heaven said calmly: "The Heavenly Demon Realm is also a legacy left over from the ancient times, so of course it is considered the same as the Buddhist Paradise!"
Mahavairocana understood what the Emperor of Heaven and the Heavenly Court meant. Buddhism and the Heavenly Demon are old enemies, especially the ancestor Mo Yun of the Heavenly Demon world, who is at war with the entire Buddhism to the death. Now he is still spreading the Heavenly Demon inheritance in the Buddhist land of Xizhou. No one knows how many Buddha's sons and grandsons have fallen and turned from Buddha to demon.
The entire Western Paradise has also been suppressing the Demonic World. Now that Heaven has reopened, both sides want to join Heaven and use its power to suppress the other side. Unexpectedly, both of them had this idea at the same time and rushed to Heaven.
Even the ancestor Mo Yun from the demon world arrived first, which made the Buddha's plan come to nothing. Now he can only worry about it later.
Next, the Zhoutian Star Gods and the Four Star Lords arrived at the Heavenly Palace one by one, and the Emperor of Heaven accepted their worship one by one. This was the first time that all the Star Gods and Star Lords came to pay homage to the Emperor of Heaven, and the merits and demerits of everyone were also recorded one by one in the Zhoutian Star Book.
On the third day, the anxiously awaited Mahavairocana of Buddhism and Moyun Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Realm finally received the summons from the Heavenly Emperor again. After all, this was related to the life and death of their two realms.
Without the protection of Heaven, the two of them guarding the Western Paradise and the Heavenly Demon Realm, which are like caves and star palaces, will inevitably attract some secret spying. If they are not careful, not to mention the inheritance, the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Buddhist Paradise may be seized by some powerful people or immortals and gods reincarnated from ancient times. Not to mention the grievances and hatreds between the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Buddhist Paradise, the two of them wish that the other world would be destroyed and the inheritance of millions of years would be cut off.
The two hurried to the divine palace of the Heavenly Emperor. Most of the star gods and star lords waiting in front of the door returned to their own fairy palaces in the fairy world. They only met two people who were familiar to Tathagata: the God of Life Zhang Heming and the new Lord of the Nine Palaces Zhang Yusu. However, the Buddha of the Western Paradise only had time to nod before he saw the ancestor Mo Yun in the distance, and then hurriedly flew into the divine palace.
After the two of them exchanged greetings in the temple and before the immortal officials, the Emperor of Heaven did not exchange any more pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"I have followed the advice of the Heavenly Lord and reported it to the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor has approved what I said and has allowed you two to participate in the Heavenly Palace Peach Banquet and enter the Heavenly Palace Lingxiao Palace!"
The Tathagata of the Sun and the Patriarch Moyun were overjoyed: "The great celestial master's power is mighty!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
The Four Imperial Gods are called the Celestial Lords, and the Great Celestial Lord is the title of the Heavenly Emperor. Previously, Vairocana Tathagata and Moyun Patriarch were brought into the heaven by two star gods. At most, they were only qualified to sit outside the palace and enjoy the Peach Banquet with the families brought by most immortals and gods. They did not have the blessing to enter the Heavenly Palace, let alone enter the Lingxiao Palace of the Heavenly Palace.
Emperor Tianguan: "The Heavenly Court can appoint you as the Lord of the Western Paradise, with the position of the Five Jie Di. The Buddhist sect can select someone with a good rank in the sect to take the position. Even a fairy mountain with a radius of a thousand miles in the south of the heaven can be appointed to the Buddhist Guanyin as the mountain gate. However, from now on, the Buddhist sect must obey the orders of the Heavenly Court. Even the Buddha cannot disobey the divine decree of the Emperor of Heaven."
The face of the Great Sun Tathagata showed a joyful expression: "The Emperor of Heaven is the master of the three realms, and the Buddhist sect is also under the rule of the Emperor of Heaven, so we should obey his orders!"
The Emperor of Heaven immediately saw the look on Patriarch Mo Yun's face and knew that he was naturally extremely anxious when he saw his old enemy, the Buddhist sect, being conferred a title by the Heavenly Court. "The same is true for the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Heavenly Court will confer the title of Patriarch Mo Yun of the Heavenly Demon Realm as the Lord of the Desire Realm. The Heavenly Court intends to establish the Thunder Department, the Water Department and other orthodox gods. The Thunder Department will be in charge of the thunder tribulation divine punishment."
"However, after the Thunder Department takes charge of the Thunder Punishment, there will be an additional Heart Demon Tribulation, which is designed for those who have committed heinous crimes and are entangled in karma. All the Heart Demons come from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Mo Yun, do you have any questions?"
After hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Realm Patriarch Mo Yun immediately bowed his hands and said, "We will obey the oracle of the Great Heavenly Venerable!"
The two of them came to the heaven and got what they asked for. In addition to the fact that their old enemy also received a title from heaven, this trip can be considered a success.
When the two flew out of the Heavenly Official Temple, Mahavairocana clasped his hands together and said, "Daoyou Moyun, are you still unable to let go? Now that the Heavenly Palace has reopened, why should you and I dwell on the past?"
Patriarch Mo Yun laughed coldly: "That surging sea of blood is my hatred!"
"As long as Buddhism is not destroyed, my hatred will not disappear!"
After a few busy days, the Emperor Tianguan finally returned to the Houyuan Taoist Palace. The entire Tianguan Emperor's palace was made up of a large number of broken floating islands, which were then combined into a grid into a constantly changing and wriggling formation. The floating islands were connected by stones and jade steps, and the palaces and fairy pavilions were also built on small islands.
There are even fairy towers on top of the huge rocks. The sky is an eternal and unchanging sunny day, and below is a bottomless sky. In other words, below is also a clear sky. In the heaven, if it were not for the existence of gravity of the floating fairy islands, it would be impossible to tell whether it is the sky above or the sky below.
Everywhere inside you can see patrolling heavenly soldiers and flying gods and fairies.
In a fairy palace with a thousand-foot-high mountain behind it, the Emperor of Heaven returned on a fairy chariot. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a sneaky-looking girl who was quietly reaching for the fairy zither placed on the jade table in the empty palace when no one was around.
Fu Jia knew that this was the real immortal harp. She had seen her master playing the harp before, with years flowing through his fingertips.
Seeing this magical harp at this moment, how could he hold back any longer? He took the harp down with a guilty conscience, looked around, and then placed it on his knees like his master. He put on his master's nonchalant expression and pretended to play the harp.
However, after plucking it a few times, he found that the immortal harp did not move at all, just like a piece of stone, and made no sound.
At this time, her master, Fang Xiu, who is now the Great Emperor of Heaven, walked in. The dragon girl Fu Jia was so frightened that she stood up suddenly and her zither fell to the ground.
"Master... Master? Why did you come back so suddenly?!"
Fang Xiu waved his hands and the Xianqin returned to the table: "Those who do not understand the Great Dao of Time are not even qualified to pluck the strings of the qin!"
"You! You're still far away!"
Fang Xiu then said nothing more: "The Peach Banquet will begin tomorrow! As a fairy servant of the Heavenly Official Divine Mansion, follow me to the Heavenly Palace Lingxiao Palace."
Dragon girl Fu Jia, who was a little embarrassed about being seen sneaking around by her master, suddenly became excited: "Lingxiao Palace? Wouldn't I be able to see the Emperor of Heaven and the Heavenly Lord there? And the great goddess Hou Tu, it is said that the great goddess Hou Tu is here too."
"By the way, Master, will the Yin Emperor of the Underworld come? If Yin Emperor comes, I will have seen all the great gods in the Three Realms."
Emperor Fang Xiu of Heaven glanced at Fu Jia. The girl was so excited that she danced with joy. She had been cooped up in the Divine Palace for the past few days and had been looking forward to the start of the Peach Banquet. At that time, she would be able to see all the great gods and even the Emperor of Heaven and the Heavenly Venerable. She couldn't help but be excited.
