Chapter 242 Heavenly Courts, Jade Emperor’s current situation
The white-robed young man supported his chin with one hand on the white jade table. He was a little bored and was holding a few Connate numinous treasures.
There were many things going on in the world, but it was peaceful in the Heavenly Courts.
They were trying their best to manage the place well.
‘The Early Life Records of the Celestial Thearch
He wanted to be a Celestial Emperor who was revered by all spirits. However, there were six mountains surrounding him on four sides, making it impossible for his holy radiance to s.h.i.+ne outside the world.
You can’t make bricks without straws. In this situation, it was completely impossible for the clever Emperor to become the Lord of Emptiness…
The members of the Heavenly Courts were so free that they had all kinds of heavenly peaches, divine birds, and Five-Element Pearls.
They could retire at any time…
“Your Majesty! General Dongmu wishes to see you outside the palace!”
After hearing that someone outside the hall had submitted a memorial, the white-robed young man immediately sat up straight, put away the pearl, cleared his throat, and picked up the memorial list by the side. He opened it and saw the words that he had already memorized…
“Declare.”
Outside the hall, General Dongmu lowered his head and walked up the white jade stairs. He looked up at the situation on the platform, his eyes filled with gratification.
The Jade Emperor was really diligent. “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“Don’t be so polite, General Dongmu.” The young man in white smiled calmly and elegantly. His gaze slowly s.h.i.+fted away from the memorial. “You seem to be in a hurry. Is there anything important?”
General Dongmu took out a memorial and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, what you have previously instructed me to do is to change the water and climate in the southeastern part of the South Continent within a hundred years. I have already done it. The bountiful period takes up 30% of the year and ordinary days make up 60% of the year. There is half a chance of disaster while the other half is left empty.” “Bring it up.”
“Yes.” General Dongmu took two steps forward and pa.s.sed the memorial to the Jade Emperor.
The young man in white looked at him carefully for a while, and soon nodded. He smiled and said, “I naturally trust you, General Dongmu.”
After saying that, the young man in white placed the memorial list aside and could not help but raise his hand to yawn.
General Dongmu quickly said, “Your Majesty, you should rest more often. You can’t tire yourself out. The Heavenly Courts still need your support.”
The young man in white smiled and diverted the topic. “General Dongmu, have the four seas been safe lately?”
“The matter regarding the dragon race has not ceased,” General Dongmu said in a low voice. “The casualties in the four seas have not been counted yet. The resentment of the living creatures had turned into gray clouds in the Lower Three Realms, disturbing some Heavenly Humans.
If the dragon race continues to be in turmoil, the four seas will never be able to rest. After all, it is a hidden danger.”
The white-robed youth pondered for a moment before sighing softly. “This is also something that I cannot control at the moment. There is a Saint behind the matter regarding the Dragon Palace. I can only follow Changgeng’s instructions and take advantage of the situation.”
“Your Majesty is wise!”
The white-robed young man put down the memorial in his hand and smiled. “General Dongmu, how is the establishment of the legitimate G.o.d decree for Changgeng going?”.
General Dongmu hurriedly said, “I just went to take a look three days ago. According to your instructions, Your Majesty, this is the third time I have increased the power of merit. I have also paused the condensations of the other two decrees that I have simultaneously done… This will be done in three years.’
“Three years…”
There was a hint of helplessness in the Jade Emperor’s eyes. He sighed softly. “I still have to wait three years before I can let Changgeng enter the Heavenly Courts to relieve my boredom… Um, to come up with plans and strategies.” General Dongmu blinked. He felt like he had heard something, but he was not sure.
Was His Majesty talking nonsense?
He must be so tired that he has started spouting nonsense…
“Your Majesty, Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d has been looking forward to being able to serve you, every day and night.” “Enough, General Dongmu, how many benefits did you receive from Changgeng? You’re saying such nice things about him every day.” The Jade Emperor chuckled. “I naturally know how important Changgeng is to the Heavenly Courts. By putting in a good word for him, you’re not adding icing to the cake, you’re just being redundant.”
A cold sweat broke out on General Dongmu’s forehead. He quickly lowered his head and bowed. “I know my mistake.”
He suddenly recalled that in the past twenty to thirty years, the Sea G.o.d had indeed reminded him not to say anything nice in front of His Majesty… The Sea G.o.d could even understand this?
General Dongmu felt helpless. He was also a minister of the Heavenly Courts. He was truly ashamed.
Fortunately, the Jade Emperor only reminded him with a light smile. He let General Dongmu take his leave without saying anything else. “Changgeng…”
The young man in white mumbled and took out a piece of cloth made out of golden silk. He wrote two words on it, followed by a few more.
‘Human, Magi, Dragon, Grand Pure One…’
“I really can’t see through Changgeng. Who is he?”
The young man in white murmured. He waved his hand above the piece of cloth, and the words on it disappeared. Following that, he got up and ended his s.h.i.+ft in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He did not need any guards or maids. Instead, he walked on a golden cloud and headed towards an Immortal Island in the Heavenly Courts.
That was the Heavenly Palace Jade Pool, which was different from the Kunlun Mountain Jade Pool.
The former was the Deity Position Official Residence that was protected by the Heavenly Dao, while the latter was similar to a resort.
However, after a short while, the white-robed young man flew out helplessly…
His junior sister had gone into seclusion again and had only left an incarnation outside. He could not chat too much with her incarnation.
Was the Jade Emperor really very bored?
What a joke. He, Hao Tian, was the ‘Truly Amazing Paragon Jade Emperor Of The Palace’. Even if he was bored, he would still be bored at the highest level. How could the word ‘Very’ reflect his current state of mind…
He was extremely bored!
After returning to the Jade Emperor Hall, the white-robed Jade Emperor sealed the door and asked a few Heavenly generals to guard outside. If the Heavenly Courts’ immortals, G.o.ds or deities asked to see him, or if anything happened to the Heavenly Courts, they would immediately knock the gold nugget outside the hall.
Thus, the white-robed Jade Emperor returned to his own palace and sat on the soft couch formed from golden jade, quietly waiting for something to happen. A few days later, there was no change nor movement in the Heavenly Courts…
The Jade Emperor sighed, shook his head gently and lay down. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
At the same time, in a corner of the Heavenly Courts, a young Heavenly General opened his eyes and smiled. He thought to himself, ‘If there’s nothing, why don’t I go and look for Changgeng to explore the mortal world? He happens to know about my incarnation.’
Following that, the young Heavenly General stood up, grabbed his silver spear while clad in s.h.i.+ny silver armor. After some thought, he changed into a long robe and rode a cloud out of the mansion, heading towards the South-Heaven Gate.
On the way, some patrolling Heavenly Soldiers saw him and bowed to him, addressing him as ‘General’.
When he arrived at the South-Heaven Gate, the Heavenly Generals who were guarding the place shouted familiarly, “Brother Hua, are you going out?”
“Yes, I’m going out to settle some personal matters.”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation answered and was about to charge out. The expressions of the Heavenly Generals changed and they hurriedly stopped him.
“Brother Hua, Brother Hua! Do you have any travel-permit jade tokens? Don’t make it difficult for us brothers. The higher-ups have been investigating this recently. It’s impossible for a Heavenly General to go out on his own without receiving any orders.”
“That’s right. Brother Hua, you should be understanding of our plight.”
