[Original Taiji Left Palace Registrar Immortal Official, Daoist Xuanqing who was in the Thunderbolt Department, accept the decree!]
[Because he has blessed the people and accumulated 5 million incense offerings, he is promoted to: Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector in charge of Thunder Department Mansion Affairs. His level is raised to the Fifth Rank.]
Dark clouds gathered in the sky.
The booming voice seemed to fall from the nine heavens, resonating in all directions and lingering for a long time.
Seeing this scene.
“I don’t know how much incense was wasted!” Xuanqing sighed quietly.
He did not expect that in the real world, a total of five million incense offerings had already been accumulated. It would have been impossible to achieve this with just the 81 Taoist temples in Changling City alone.
It goes without saying that in the real world, Elder Jingde had likely installed his god tablet in all the Taoist temples of the Daoist sect.
However.
Compared to the wasted incense, there was a more pressing issue that he had to deal with at the moment.
When the Immortal Official Record is promoted, he must step forward to receive the decree.
But with his current state where even moving a little bit was a luxury, how could he fly into the sky to receive the decree?
“No matter, I’m only a bit away from completing the transformation process. I’ll receive the decree after I’m done.”
Xuanqing spared a glance for the brewing dark clouds in the sky.
Heavenly Court.
Heavenly music echoed, surrounded by a mist of qi.
The Palace of Fate in the Ministry of Civil Service.
An Immortal official with a black gauze cap bowed his head at his desk, dealing with today’s affairs of citizenship.
“In West Niu Hezhou, 900 Li south of Biqu Country, one Netherworld City God has dissipated!” murmured the Immortal Official softly.
“This West Niu Hezhou is getting more and more chaotic!”
The Immortal Official rubbed his temple. This was already the ninth document about the disappearance of a City God that he had to process.
The reasons were pretty much the same; they all lacked incense, coupled with no one to guide the reincarnation, their wages… welfare… have all been dismissed, naturally they had no way out.
However.
After all, it was considered a ‘natural disappearance’, not a homicide, and with no one supervising, naturally no one wanted to probe deeper.
Just as the Immortal Official was dealing with his affairs, a document suddenly caught his eye.
“Huh, an Immortal Official promotion? A Standard Sixth Rank Left Palace Registrar Immortal Official, promoted to Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief inspector in charge of the Thunder Department Mansion Affairs?”
Ever since he took office as the Registration Immortal Official of the Palace of Fate, the majority of cases he processed were promotions from Standard Ninth Rank to Standard Ninth Rank, the highest being Earth God promoting to City God.
This was the first time he saw such a ‘big event’ as a promotion from Standard Sixth Rank to Fifth Rank!
“Daoist Xuanqing… Isn’t this the Daoist who was bestowed with 800 Earth Gods last time?” When he clearly saw the information on the document, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
He remembered the last time the boss gave a lecture.
Without any hesitation.
This Immortal Official used his own stamp, stamped it on the document, and passed it. Now he just had to wait for the recipient to accept the decree.
A moment later.
The document was still hovering above the desk.
The Immortal Official was taken aback again.
One day in heaven, one year on earth; some time had passed, yet this Daoist Xuanqing had not accepted the decree – what was he up to?
“This Daoist Xuanqing, relying on his deep background, does not step forward to accept the decree, does he expect this official to go to the lower realm personally to confer it?”
The Immortal Official frowned slightly, unable to resist murmuring a complaint.
At that moment.
An unexpected event occurred.
He saw the document suddenly emit a great light, and an immense authority emanated from it, making people unable to resist the urge to kneel down.
“It’s a special pardon from the Jade Emperor, is it…”
The Immortal Official widened his eyes, reading incredulously, “Is this asking me, this official, to go to the lower realm and confer the decree on that Daoist?”
Very well-
The slap in the face had come so quickly.
Just a second ago, he was complaining about someone being privileged and then the next second, this happened. The fact proved that having a background truly is incredible.
Aside from the shock, the immortal official couldn’t help but feel a bit sour inside.
“Ah- On an errand to officiate the ascension of that Taoist!
“Wait a moment… It’s a bit too simple to just go like this, not quite appropriate. I should bring a congratulatory gift.”
Despite the sour feeling in his heart.
But facing this Taoist, who is covered by his superiors and the highest boss, he of course would choose to respectfully provide his services- and… he even has to bring gifts on house calls.
At the foot of Black Wind Mountain.
Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, Qingwan, several Earth Gods, and Zhu Gangling, as well as the Netherworld City God, and others… all gathered together.
The strange phenomena in the sky had been ongoing for over half a month.
“Our master, the immortal official, has been promoted again, but has not come out for a long time to receive the recognition.”
“Others are all rushing to accept recognition, but our master is….”
“King Gangling, do you think the Heavenly Court will blame our master?”
Hearing the worried words from the subordinates.
Zhu Gangling flashes a grin.
A joke.
It was just a simple promotion from a subordinate fifth-rank immortal official. Who dares to blame their lineage?
When he was Marshal Tianpeng, there were numerous late arrivals, early departures, disobeying orders, and flirting… umm… that doesn’t count.
“All of you don’t worry, even if we wait for half a year, your master will be fine!”
Zhu Gangling carelessly waved his hand.
On hearing this.
Everyone felt a bit relieved. They all knew that their master has an unfathomable background. This master’s senior brother also possesses vast divine powers. Swinging his rake, he created a blessed land, presumably seeing things more clearly than they did.
At this very moment.
There was a sudden change.
They saw a mass of auspicious clouds appearing in the sky.
Following that.
A golden scroll appeared on the horizon, growing larger and larger, eventually hanging in the high sky above Black Wind Mountain, emanating tremendous divine power.
More importantly.
A mortal official, wearing a black gauze cap and exuding an aura of immortal spirit Qi, stood atop the auspicious clouds next to the scroll.
Seeing this scene.
Everyone was shocked, even Zhu Gangling on the side’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
“It’s over. The Heavenly Court has sent someone. They’re definitely going to punish our master!”
“What should we do, what should we do? If that immortal official takes action against our master, then what could we do?”
“Ah- Whoever wants to harm the master, I’ll fight with them, even if it leads to death!”
“What’s going on…Could it be?”
Zhu Gangling’s pupils shrank suddenly.
He thought of something unthinkable in his head. It was the calamity aura that entered Daoist Xuanqing’s body when they killed the Yellow Wind Monster.
Connecting that to his experience, it was because this calamity aura entered his body that he unwittingly flirted with Chang’e.
Could it be… this is the disaster of his junior brother?
Just as everyone was anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
The immortal official in the sky began to speak.
[Original Taiji Left Palace Registrar Immortal Official Controller Thunder Order
Matter, Daoist Record, Secondary Sixth Rank Immortal Official, Daoist Xuanqing, listen to the decree!]
[Because of his blessings to the people, reaching the 5 million count of burning incense, the Jade Emperor decrees: Promote to Taiji Right Palace Dongyang Chief Inspector of Thunderbolt Department, rank from the fifth.]
As the words fell.
The immortal official, holding the scroll, voluntarily descended from the sky, landing next to Xuanqing who hadn’t moved all this while.
“So Daoist Xuanqing was cultivating in seclusion, in that case, I will wait here for Daoist to come out, and then confer the title, to avoid interrupting your cultivation!”
The immortal official, with a smile on his face, adjusted the black gauze cap on his head and sat down cheerfully on the side..
