Chapter 551 Descending upon the Moon!
"Your Majesty's question today is very serious."
Chen Changsheng said, "The sage is asking about the fundamental principles of Heavenly Laws."
Yang Chan looked at him.
"If I truly break the heavenly rules, are you really willing to punish me?"
Chen Changsheng stopped in his tracks.
"I'll ask you why you committed the crime first."
Yang Chan asked, "And then?"
Chen Changsheng said, "If you have been wronged, I will clear your name."
"If you are forced into this situation, I will kill the one who forced you."
"If you knowingly commit this crime, I will share the blame with you."
Yang Chan's eyes welled up slightly.
"You really don't know how to say the right thing."
Chen Changsheng said, "That's the truth."
Yang Chan smiled softly.
"Then I will not commit the offense."
"So as not to cause you, the god of law enforcement, any trouble."
Chen Changsheng looked at her.
"With your words, I am relieved."
For the next few days, Chen Changsheng stayed in the secluded courtyard outside the Nuwa Palace.
Yang Chan sat with him to watch the sea of clouds and told him about her cultivation over the years.
"The Empress taught me the way of creation."
"But my aptitude is limited, and I comprehend it slowly."
Chen Changsheng said, "The Great Dao of Creation is profound and far-reaching."
"You are fortunate enough to receive personal instruction from the sage Nuwa."
Yang Chan said, "I want it to be faster."
Chen Changsheng asked, "Why?"
Yang Chan looked at him.
"Because you walk too fast."
I'm afraid that one day, when you're standing on such a high place, I'll have trouble even looking at you.
Chen Changsheng took her hand.
No matter how far I go, I will always look back at you.
Yang Chan said softly, "Then you must remember this."
Chen Changsheng said, "I've got it."
Yang Chan then asked, "Will all the sages attend the Peach Banquet?"
Chen Changsheng said, "Shouyang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Biyou Palace, the West, Wuzhuang Temple, and the Blood Sea have all responded to the invitation."
"Now even the sage Nuwa has agreed to attend the meeting."
Yang Chan said, "This grand gathering will truly shake the Three Realms."
Chen Changsheng said, "If the Heavenly Court wants to establish its authority, it must face the gaze of all parties."
A few days later, Chen Changsheng got up to take his leave.
Yang Chan escorted him to the outside of the Nuwa Palace.
She looked at him, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Leaving again?"
Chen Changsheng said, "The Peach Banquet is approaching, and I need to return to the Heavenly Court to establish various rules and regulations."
Yang Chan said, "Then let's go."
"I won't stop you."
Chen Changsheng said, "See you in the Heavenly Court a thousand years from now."
Yang Chan nodded.
Goodbye, Heaven.
Chen Changsheng bowed in the direction of Nuwa Palace.
Then, he rose up on a cloud.
Yang Chan stood in front of the palace gate, watching his figure disappear into the daylight.
When Chen Changsheng returned to the Heavenly Court, the Southern Heavenly Gate was bathed in radiant light.
The gatekeepers bowed to him upon his return.
"Greetings to the God of Law Enforcement."
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"Where are the preparations for the Peach Banquet progressed?"
A celestial general immediately reported, "Reporting to the Heavenly God, the Jade Pool Goddess has ordered the celestial officials to renovate the Peach Garden."
"The Star Lord Taibai is currently verifying the seats for all parties."
"The Heavenly Gods are invited back to the Lingxiao Palace for a meeting."
Chen Changsheng said, "Understood."
He stepped into the Heavenly Court.
From the direction of the Hall of Law Enforcement, the divine light of justice shone forth.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian and Yaochi were already waiting for him.
Venus stood to one side, holding a register of names from all directions in his hands.
Chen Changsheng entered the hall and paid his respects.
"Your subject Chen Changsheng greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
Haotian looked at him.
"Did the sage Nuwa respond?"
Chen Changsheng said, "The Sage Nuwa has accepted the invitation."
"The sage said that I would go to the Heavenly Court a thousand years later."
A glint flashed in Yaochi's eyes.
"Thus, all directions came."
Venus laughed and said, "The Heavenly God of Law Enforcement personally delivered the invitation; it's indeed a safe bet."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Lord Taibai is too kind."
Haotian looked at him and said, "Now that the Sage Nuwa has agreed, the invitations from all directions are complete."
Yaochi said, "Next, we will discuss the seating arrangements, etiquette, heavenly rules, patrols, and matters concerning the Peach Garden."
Venus, holding the register, said, "This old minister has drafted the first register. I humbly request Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the God of Law Enforcement to review it together."
Chen Changsheng took the roster and glanced at the names of the saints.
He saw Shouyang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Biyou Palace, Nuwa Palace, Mount Sumeru, Wuzhuang Temple, and the Blood Sea, among other names, all on it.
When he flipped to the list of the Great Masters, his finger suddenly stopped.
Haotian asked, "Changsheng, is there an omission in the register?"
Chen Changsheng looked up and said, "I suddenly remembered someone."
Venus's expression shifted.
"Who is it?"
Chen Changsheng did not answer immediately.
The image of the figure chopping down the cassia tree on the moon appeared in his mind.
The man held the axe handle and chopped down cassia trees every day.
The man offered two drops of ancestral witch blood.
Haotian looked at him and asked, "Is this person famous in the Three Realms?"
Chen Changsheng said, "This person is not on the register of the Three Realms, nor is he listed in the Heavenly Court's register of immortals."
A hint of doubt appeared in Yaochi's eyes.
"They don't even know about the Heavenly Court?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "His Majesty and the Empress are unaware, nor are the immortals of Heaven."
Venus frowned slightly.
"Such a figure actually exists in the primordial world?"
Chen Changsheng said, "Yes."
Haotian did not inquire about his origins.
He could tell that Chen Changsheng was unwilling to speak openly in the hall at this moment.
Haotian said, "Since you remember this person, then you can deal with him as you see fit."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "I would like to go and invite them myself."
Yaochi asked, "Is this person of great importance?"
Chen Changsheng said, "It's extremely important, but I don't know if he will participate. After all, this powerful figure's personality is a bit unpredictable."
Haotian thought for a moment, "Go ahead, it would be best if you could come, but it's okay if you don't."
After saying that, Chen Changsheng turned and left the Lingxiao Palace.
Venus watched his retreating figure and whispered, "Your Majesty, who is the person the God of Law Enforcement spoke of?"
Haotian's gaze fell outside the palace gate.
"If he doesn't want to talk about it, there's no need to ask."
Yaochi said, "Chang Sheng acts with discretion."
Haotian said, "Since he says this person is extremely important, then this person must be no ordinary person."
Venus nodded slightly.
"Even the Heavenly Court was unaware of its existence; the primordial world is indeed unfathomably deep."
After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, Chen Changsheng headed towards the Taiyin Star.
The moon hangs in the depths of its clear light.
Outside the Moon Palace, the shadows of cassia trees hang low.
The moonlight shone on the jade steps.
A figure in white walked out of the palace gate.
The moment Chang'e saw Chen Changsheng, her eyes lit up.
She strode forward, then stopped a few steps away.
"Immortality".
Chen Changsheng looked at her, his gaze softening.
"Chang'e, the Moon Goddess".
Chang'e frowned slightly.
"Should we remain so distant?"
Chen Changsheng did not respond for a moment.
He could naturally see Chang'e's intentions.
When they met in the past, she took good care of him.
But he already had Yang Chan in his heart.
He couldn't pretend not to know about this affection, nor could he respond casually.
Chang'e looked at his expression, and the joy in her eyes subsided slightly.
"Even when you're under the influence of the Moon, you still keep your secrets so deep."
Chen Changsheng said, "I'm just afraid of saying the wrong thing."
Chang'e looked at him.
"Hahaha, who would have thought that even a dignified God of Law Enforcement would be afraid?"
Chang'e's eyes flickered slightly.
She didn't press her for answers.
The clear light of the moon fell between the two.
After a moment, she said softly, "I'm already very happy that you came."
Chen Changsheng said, "Over the years, I have been preoccupied with many matters and have not been able to visit Taiyin. It has been my fault."
Chen Changsheng withdrew his gaze.
"However, I have come today for a specific matter."
Chang'e asked, "Is it for the Peach Banquet?"
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"The Heavenly Court will hold the Peach Banquet a thousand years from now, and all the saints and great supernatural beings will attend."
Chang'e said, "I have also heard about this."
Chen Changsheng said, "I suddenly remembered that there is still someone in the Taiyin Star who should be invited but hasn't been."
Chang'e's expression changed.
She immediately understood who Chen Changsheng was referring to.
