The Phoenix divided the palace specifications for officials and residents into different levels. At that time, the celestial court had received the inheritance of Emperor Jun, with many palaces and fewer people. Anyone could choose a palace they liked and live there.
Now the celestial court is in ruins again, whether it's the thirty-three Heavens or the tenth Heavens, all are in a state of broken walls and collapsed roofs. The palaces and Daoist palaces needed by officials and generals must wait for Phoenix to send people to build them, and she firmly controls the right to build. All of you wait, you are gods, you can't die from rough living or lack of shelter. The construction specifications must be unified, differences must be formed, and private construction is prohibited!
Regarding the levels she has set up, Sages are the highest, and this is beyond question.
For example, when the High Taoist Zong Tian lives in Yu Yu Heaven outside the thirty-third layer of heaven, one cannot simply say that he lives in Yu Yu Heaven. Instead, one should use "Yu Jiji" as a reference. In formal documents, when writing about the dwelling place of the Pure Sage, it should be written as "Yu Jiji, Yu Yu Heaven".
The saints are all subject to this standard.
Those who are entitled to the "Yu Jiji" treatment are the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West, as they have not yet passed away. They may have been banished to unknown places, but the due treatment must still be provided.
Phoenix herself also enjoys the "Yu Jiji" treatment, and the Zi Wei star's Chizhao Palace is preserved. At the Heavenly Court, she has built a palace called Tong Ming Palace for herself as an office.
The Lingxiao Palace is the place for imperial audiences. The Jade Emperor used to office in the palace to demonstrate his authority, giving off the impression that he was always busy and never went home. This was unnecessary as it made the palace as lively as a market with officials constantly coming and going. With the completion of Tong Ming Palace, the Lingxiao Palace became exclusively for grand audiences, separating everyday work from formal affairs.
The Great Master Laojun is listed separately; he is also of the "Yu Jiji" rank. He resides directly in the Pushe Palace, which does not require reconstruction by the Phoenix. Everything remains as it is.
There is another who possesses the "Yu Jiji" qualification, that is the Great Earth Goddess of Huaxia, who resides in Jiuhua Yueque. Whether she comes to the heavenly court is her own business, but the treatment must be provided.
Below them, the South Pole and Lei Zhenzi from the Four Emperors are referred to as "Your Majesty."
Long Ji's rank is second only to the Four Supreme Ones, and she is referred to as "Under the Qiongqu Palace."
The heads of each department and the five star lords of the five elements are referred to as "Yuanxia."
The rest of the star deities are referred to as "Xingyuanxia."
Xians like Zhu Jia Daxian are referred to as "Fa Mao Xiaka."
The ranks below that are even more numerous, such as "Baoque Xia," "Weixia," "Muxia," "Que Xia," and so on, are all assigned to the various immortals!
The "Yu Jiji" rank is just the tip of the iceberg of Phoenix's reform. She has meticulously divided detailed levels for aspects such as the color, patterns, and decorations of official robes, as well as clothing, housing, food, and travel.
The era where the King of Heaven walked around with generals everywhere, like rats and dogs, will never happen again. Everyone is a general now, so no one is a general. As Phoenix began to make small changes and gradually modify the system, the hierarchical system of the Heavenly Court has finally been established.
Twenty years have quickly passed.
The Mountain of Bad is once again the pillar of heaven in the primordial chaos, and the spatial structure of the entire primordial chaos has stabilized by three parts.
Deng Chanyu received a large amount of merit comparable to the legend of Nüwa's heavenly repair, but this time, Huàitian had fallen from grace and there was no one to help pay the immortals' compensation. Deng Chanyu was very hurt. Inside and out, it was all she was paying for, and Taigu Laojun only provided some elixirs. The old man was very down-to-earth; I am also poor, have no money to spare, but I have one life. Take your pick!
To go back to the heavenly court again? It's the most meaningless thing in the world to shuffle money from one hand to the other these days. The heavenly court needs reconstruction and needs to reissue salaries to officials and generals. You can't say that Huàitian's era was short of pay, and when it's your Ziwu Emperor's era, it's still short of pay. Then isn't our rebellion in vain?
The new era needs some new momentum, and issuing salaries is the most convenient measure.
Deng Chanyu took from the east wall to repair the west wall, and the diet of several ferrous animals on Emei Mountain dropped sharply. After finishing the project of the Mountain of Bad, although she received merit, she was truly in a state of utter poverty.
With the reconstruction of the Mountain of Bad completed, the missing corner was made whole, and there was a surge of spiritual energy in the primordial chaos. In this burst of spiritual energy, the spiritual nature of all beings in the chaos grew to varying degrees. The eyes of Phoenix and Moonlight couldn't help but turn towards the East Sea.
"Jade Emperor, when will the Stone Monkey be born?"
"It will take about five hundred years. Where is the fifth reincarnation of Jinchanzi, Luomi?"
"The progress is a bit slow; it's just reached the third reincarnation now."
Phoenix asked, "Can we possibly start the Journey to the West early?"
Moonlight was hesitant on her side: "I guess it's difficult. You wouldn't want to see a very irritable Tang monk, right? A Tang monk like that, punching one female demon after another, where's the tribulation? The timing is still too early, duck!"
Deng Chanyu listened quietly on the side, occasionally nodding to show her support.
After completing the Journey to the West, opening up a channel between the East and the West in the mortal world, and resolving the karma between Moonlight and the Buddhist sect, one can successfully cut out this corpse. However, the timing is not right now.
The estimated team of taking the journey is still too strong, and Jinchanzi, a guy who says "I only slightly understand martial arts", will cause huge damage to the demons along the way once he enters the team of the Journey to the West.
The reason why the Journey to the West took over ten years is because Tang Sanzang has a mortal body. If he were to be replaced by Jinchanzi, even if he walked on his own two feet, he might reach the foot of Mount Lingshan in just half a year. This would lose the significance of the test.
Deng Chanyu, as a behind-the-scenes manipulator, can prepare some magic weapons and even send her own trusted agents to cause trouble on earth, but if everyone has magic weapons, it would be too unrealistic. This is not a martial arts tournament; besides strength, more often than not, the test is about human nature and the perseverance of the journey.
Deng Chanyu can only wait, waiting for Jinchanzi's wildness to be worn away by countless reincarnations, and waiting for the Stone Monkey to be born.
If one does not wish to wait, then efforts should be made on the relationship between Buddha and demons, to completely eliminate Luo Hu, and the karma between Moonlight and the Buddhist sect can also be resolved.
The Journey to the West is a simple mode, defeating Luo Hu is a difficult mode. Lao Luo is like an ant that cannot be killed!
There's no other option but to wait.
A hundred years have passed since the Sages left the primordial chaos.
The hundred years have passed, but no Sage has returned.
Nüwa is now at the most critical moment in her quest for the Chaos Pearl. Even the salty Saint is now three-quarters motivated, currently zigzagging through an endless ocean of chaos, and won't be able to return to the primordial chaos in a short time.
The Original Creator is still refining the Desire Demon God.
While the Sky Emperor has cut off some of the insights he gained from the Life Demon God, he has still gained some valuable knowledge during this process. According to Lingbao Tianzun, this Pure Sage is currently in seclusion in a certain part of chaos.
The Pure Sage of Taqing has a profound karma and found some opportunities. Brother Dianyue, along with his brother JunTi, combined their efforts to create opportunities even without them.
The end result is that none of the Sages returned.
