Chapter 323: Appointment and Wish, Serving the Heavenly Court

As the training ground for the ten true immortals, Jin'ao Island has actually undergone many years of continuous improvement.

The island's original landforms were not as diverse as they are today.

But after the immortals moved in, they divided the area for each person and began to transform it into an environment that suits their preferences according to their own five elements and personality preferences.

Such an excellent and thoroughly developed cave paradise is hard to find even with a lantern in the three realms.

I'm afraid that only the top-level cave heaven like Kunlun Xiandu, where immortals gather, can be compared with it.

Before establishing the Lishan base, Wen Rui had seriously considered building a base on Jinao Island, and even the infrastructure had been started, but he ultimately chose Lishan.

After all, Jin'ao Island is far away from the mainland and too remote. It's okay to live in seclusion there, but it's difficult to do business.

Compared to here, Lishan has the Holy Mother in charge, so it is safer, and it is located in the Central Plains, with convenient transportation.

You can also secretly poach the sisters from Lishan and lure a few ignorant sisters to join the Jinling Sect.

Facts have proved that Wen Rui's choice was very correct. If the Jinling Sect base had been built on Jinao Island, the development would definitely not be better than it is now.

Although Jinao Island did not become the main base, Wen Rui took the time to build a branch base on the island over the past five hundred years, which is equipped with various factories.

The reason is simple: a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Wen Rui had no foresight. God knew how long the Mother of Lishan could protect him. If one day he lost control and did something that would anger God and people in Lishan, and was kicked out by the Mother of Lishan, he would be able to find a new place to stay immediately.

In addition to Jinao Island, there are also several other overseas fairy islands like Sanxian Island, Jiulong Island, and Huolong Island.

After the fall of Jiejiao, these prime properties became ownerless, but there were extremely sharp protective magic arrays on the islands, and the locations of the islands were also concealed by illusion arrays.

To attack the Jin'ao Island which is guarded by the Ten Absolute Formations, ten powerful men at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm are needed.

After the war, the Chan sect could no longer use the name of maintaining the order of heaven to send out so many masters.
Besides, Master Tongtian has only retired, he is not dead, and the immortal sects of the Chan sect cannot seize the foundation of his fallen disciples in front of him.

These Jiejiao legacies were thus preserved, and all of them benefited Wen Rui.

As a disciple of Jiejiao, Wen Zhong has very good relations with the owners of these fairy islands. The restrictions on the islands do not prevent him, and the coordinates of the islands and how to get there are not kept secret from him.

Wen Rui is not good at cultivating immortals, but he has a very high IQ and is knowledgeable about formations. During the past five hundred years, he has deciphered all the formations set up by the predecessors of the Jiejiao and learned them thoroughly.

All the efforts over the years have not been in vain. Although as a backup base, it may never be used, Jin'ao Island will come in handy when one happens to need to fit a ready-made secret realm into the personal space.

……

After much haste, the reverse engineering of the Linglong Pagoda was finally completed. Wen Rui returned to the Jinling Immortal Sect base, but before he had time to spend a few days of leisure with He Lingyun, an uninvited guest arrived to visit.

The person who came was Taibai Jinxing.

Having learned from Li Jing's lesson last time, Taibai Jinxing was extremely low-key during his visit and only brought two attendants and guards.

When he arrived, he very obediently handed in his visiting card at the gate of the Jinling Immortal Sect, saying only that he was an old friend visiting, without mentioning the matter of deification at all.

Wen Rui knew what he was up to, but he had no choice but to open the main door and welcome him in.

Taibai Jinxing and the two guards came to the reception hall of Jinling Sect, and Wen Rui greeted them in the hall. When the two sides met, Wen Rui was stunned when he saw the two guards.

He hurried forward and asked, "Junior Brother Ji, Junior Brother Yu, why are you two here?"

The two heavenly generals accompanying Taibai Jinxing as guards were actually old acquaintances of Wen Rui.

The two men were named Ji Li and Yu Qing, both dressed as young generals.

"This humble general greets the young commander!"

When the two generals saw Wen Rui, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, but Wen Rui held them up with both hands.

They were all disciples of Wen Zhong and also fierce generals in the Shang Dynasty army. They died in the Battle of Conferred Gods and were deified after their death.

After helping the two generals up, Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at Taibai Jinxing. He couldn't help but secretly admire the superb diplomatic skills of this old man.

This time he really learned a lesson. He did not dispatch the Heavenly Guards from the Ministry of War, but instead transferred two acquaintances who had a close relationship with Wen Rui from the Ministry of Thunder.

No matter how strong the guards of the Ministry of War are, they cannot make any waves in Lishan.

Even if he could find Yang Jian, the number one general in heaven, Wen Rui might not be able to defeat Yang Jian like he did with Nezha. Once the Mother of Lishan took action, Yang Jian would suffer a great defeat.

But when Wen Zhong's disciples Ji Li and Yu Qing, who were like brothers to Wen Rui, were called in, even if Wen Rui wanted to be ruthless and brave and cause trouble, he had to consider their old friendship and leave some wiggle room.

Moreover, calling in the two generals from the Thunder Department also indirectly demonstrated Wen Zhong's attitude.

Wen Rui understood immediately that his cheap father was obviously telling him not to go too far and to stop at nothing and to give the Jade Emperor some face.

To be honest, if the second round of envoys sent by Heaven is still a reckless man who doesn't know the rules and can't see the situation clearly, Wen Rui doesn't mind giving him a good beating.

But looking at the personnel configuration sent now, Wen Rui also understood that the Jade Emperor had finally figured out the situation, and this time he must have come with sincerity. If he continued to make trouble, he would be the one who would be condemned by heaven.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wen Rui invited Taibai Jinxing to take a seat, and then went straight to the point: "Brother Chang Geng, let's not beat around the bush. Just tell me straight, what official position do you want to give me this time?"

"I heard that you are a straightforward person, so I will not hide anything." Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled, "Last time at the court meeting, some treacherous villains made false accusations to deceive Your Majesty, and I was helpless. This time, I spoke up for justice, and your advice was finally accepted by Your Majesty..."

This old man has been an official for too long and it is difficult for him to get to the point without talking nonsense. Wen Rui could only listen patiently.

"This time, His Majesty intends to issue an edict to confer you the title of 'Emperor Jie Tian', in charge of the Way of Creation and the Way of Craftsmanship. You will be in charge of the Heavenly Works Department, the Heavenly Clothing Department, the Heavenly Construction Department and other craftsman-related departments in the Heavenly Court. Are you satisfied?"

Wen Rui nodded slowly. He was not satisfied but there was nothing to say.

The fact that he was given such a divine position shows that the Heavenly Court had conducted a thorough background check on him and only then set up a position that matched his background.

If Wen Rui still resists, it would be too much and he would be looking for trouble. Then Wen Zhong and the Golden Spirit Mother would think he was being unreasonable.

Ji Li and Yu Qing were there to accompany him, also serving as an endorsement, making it clear that the opinion of Tianzun Wen Zhong had been sought for this official position, and it was definitely not a lie to trick him into going to heaven and then suddenly attacking and imprisoning him.

"Satisfied, quite satisfied." Wen Rui said with a big smile on his face, "Thanks to the Jade Emperor's favor, I will do my best to serve the Heavenly Court and benefit the people."
