"Your Majesty is wise!"
Even Zhenwu Great Emperor was displeased, but he had no choice but to cup his fists.
He had tried to get Marshal Canopy to take the credit, but who knew that this guy was useless. Now that things had come to this, there was no way to turn it back.
Marshal Canopy followed Jiang Han to the lower realm to eliminate the demons. He wanted to establish his prestige, but not only did he fail to establish it, he even became a stepping stone for others and suffered serious injuries.
He couldn't swallow this resentment and planned to ask his master, Master Xuandu.
In the Hall of Fragrance in the Immortal World, the hall was decorated with bell-like flowers. The calyx was white, and the bone porcelain was emitting a translucent luster. The top of the petals was a circle of light purple of different depths, as if it was dyed by nature. The grass was fresh, and the wind moved the flowers. Thousands of flowers were scattered on the ground, making it very beautiful.
This was Jiang Han's first time coming to the Hall of Fragrance. He got off the carriage and saw the scene in front of him. He was deeply impressed by the magnificence. The spiritual qi here was abnormally rich. Just standing here made him feel comfortable.
It was indeed the resting place of the Jade Emperor.
"General Shen Wu, do you know why I called you here?”
As the Jade Emperor's majestic voice pulled Jiang Han back from his thoughts, he sat high on the comfortable incense chair and said.
At this moment, Hao Tian took off his Heavenly Crown and looked at Jiang Han with a smile.
It had to be said that the Jade Emperor was a person with all kinds of temperament. His dignity in the imperial court was inviolable. At this moment, when he smiled, he gave people a feeling as if he was bathing in a cool breeze. It was very comfortable.
"I don't know."
Jiang Han cupped his fists in response before standing respectfully to the side.
Jiang Han really did not know why the Jade Emperor had called him to the Hall of Fragrance, but there were only two reasons. Either he wanted to reward him with something inconvenient to show to the public, or he wanted to say something that outsiders could not know.
However, he was not sure what it was exactly.
"Have you forgotten what happened in the imperial court? I called you over to give you the benefits of subduing the demon.”
The Jade Emperor didn't wait for Jiang Han to speak and continued,""What do you think I want to give you?
Spiritual treasure? I've already given you the Heavenly Spear, which is a high-grade Postnatal spirit treasure. If I give you another one, it'll be at this level at most.
Pills? I've already given you a 9,000-year-old immortal peach. Other than the nine-revolution golden pill from Lord Lao, there's no better heavenly treasure in the Heavenly Court. Moreover, it's not good to eat too much of this thing in one go.”
The Jade Emperor's question and answer confused Jiang Han.
"From this point of view, I can only give you an official position. Fortunately, your current rank is not high, so you still have to be rewarded. The position of the Six Royals just happens to be lacking a Gouchen.”
Jiang Han was stunned when he heard this, but the Jade Emperor's expression was extremely serious at the moment. He did not seem to be joking.
The status of the Six Royals was very high, second only to the Celestial Emperor himself. They had great power and could even form their own small celestial heavens. They assisted the Jade Emperor among the gods in the Heaven Realm, but they were all people of the Clan of Enlightenment, so it was very difficult to touch them.
"Heavenly Emperor, I am confident. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Jiang Han replied without hesitation.”
With that, he bowed. No matter what, he and the Jade Emperor were grasshoppers on the same rope. Since he had been praised by the other party, there was no reason for him to regret it, even if he had to go against the disciple of a Saint.
Fortunately, the Sage was now in seclusion, and the power of the Heavenly Court had increased quite a bit. The Jade Emperor was enough to be Jiang Han's backer.
The Jade Emperor was stunned at first, but then his face lit up with joy. He smiled and said,""You're quite direct. You really dare to take it.”
When he looked at the other party again, the praise in his eyes was even stronger. What the Jade Emperor lacked now was such a person who was driven, decisive, but not lacking in strategy, and Jiang Han happened to be such a person.
"Your Majesty, a soldier who doesn't want to climb up is not a good soldier. This lowly official is just a small soldier. It was fortunate that Your Majesty appreciated me so that I had the opportunity to ascend to the court. Now that you want me to replace the position of Gouchen Emperor, this lowly official will naturally agree.”
As he spoke, Jiang Han revealed his ambition and expressed his loyalty to the Jade Emperor, asking him to let down his guard and accept him completely.
"Hmm, not bad. I wanted to arrange for my own people to take up positions in the Five Royals and concentrate the power of the Heavenly Court, but the ministers refused. Do you know the origin of the Heavenly Court today?”
The Jade Emperor smiled helplessly, then sat upright and began to talk about serious matters.
"Although you ascended from the lower realm, you should also know about the matter of becoming a god. Before I managed the Heavenly Court, there was still the existence of the ancient demon Heavenly Court. Unfortunately, after the Witchcraft and Demon Cultivation Tribulation, the Demon Court fell, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun asked me to rebuild the Heavenly Court.”
"When I first took over the Heavenly Court, the Primordial World was still under the control of the Sages. I had the title of Heavenly Emperor, but not many people followed me. Other than Eternal Star, there were almost no useful people around me.”
The Jade Emperor recalled the past and continued,""However, the Heavenly Court is so important that it needs to operate normally. That's why there are people who can ascend to the Upper World. In addition, the three religions had sent disciples to assist the Human Ruler in order to compete for the fate of the Human Race. They had been infected by karma and had no choice but to pass their own karma tribulation. Therefore, under the arrangement of the Dao Ancestor, there was the matter of the God Sealing Tribulation.”
"All the disciples of the three religions who couldn't pass the killing tribulation came to the celestial heavens and became the pillars of the celestial heavens. It also gave the saints the chance to interfere in the matters of the Heavenly Court.”
"Although this is a good thing and the Heavenly Court has completely strengthened, there are some people who always disobey me, so someone has to help me.”
The Jade Emperor went around in circles and finally set his eyes on Jiang Han.
After listening to these words, Jiang Han finally understood the complexity of the Heavenly Court. Although the Three Pure Sages couldn't make a move directly, their influence was still huge. There was also the Buddhist Sect watching from the side.
Under such circumstances, Haotian urgently needed someone to assist him, and someone close to him should take up the important position. Jiang Han understood the Jade Emperor's intention and asked with cupped fists,""What should I do?"
Since the Jade Emperor was aware of the current situation and still intended to help him up and become the Gouchen Emperor, he naturally had his own preparations.
"Just like Zhen said, it depends on yourself. Although the people of the three religions are a great force in the Heavenly Court, I am not to be trifled with. The God-beating Whip and the List of Deification are in my hands. Who dares to disobey me?
There were also people from the Buddhist Sect who interfered, checking and balancing each other. Thus, the Heavenly Court was in a delicate balance.”
The Jade Emperor smiled faintly, giving people the feeling that everything in the Heavenly Court was under his control.
"As long as you earn more merits and increase your strength, no one in the Heavenly Court can make things difficult for you. Even if someone tries to trip you up, I have a reason to act.”
Jiang Han understood. In general, he still had to rely on himself. In the Wilderness, strength ruled. As long as he was strong enough, no one could refute him. But correspondingly, if he could not quickly improve his realm, even if the Jade Emperor wanted to support him, he would also encounter heavy resistance.
Now, he had already made a good start. By killing the Roc Demon King, it showed that he had the ability to subdue demons and devils alone. He would not be controlled by others. As long as he made more contributions, he would have enough prestige.
Seeing that Jiang Han had understood, the Jade Emperor nodded.
"Take these Peaches of Immortality as the reward for subduing the demons. Go back and cultivate well.”
The Jade Emperor then sent someone to bring three 9,000-year-old Peaches of Immortality to Jiang Han.
