In the Star Palace.
Xuanqing and Star Lord Taibai, each sitting in a grand master chair.
About half an hour later.
“Reporting to Star Lord and Right Deputy Celestial Envoy, there are guests outside,” a divine servant kneeled on one knee.
The two looked at each other, then stood up with a laugh, walking unhurriedly toward the entrance.
At the entrance.
The first one to offer congratulations was indeed that Celestial Official from the Household Registration Department who had once come down to earth to confer him.
“Congratulations on your promotion to a fourth-rank celestial, Right Deputy Celestial Envoy Xuanqing, ranked amongst the Lingxiao, please accept this humble gift as a token of my respect.”
The celestial official said so, smiling and swaying his head.
“Thank you, thank you Lord Zhang….We have ginseng fruit porridge prepared inside, you can have as much as you’d like, please come in!”
A gleam flashed in the celestial official’s eyes, he bowed his hands and entered the hall.
With the arrival of the first celestial official, it seemed like some chain reaction was triggered, and immortals from all corners made their way to the Star Lord Mansion.
“Congratulations and cheers, young friend Xuanqing on your promotion to
Right Deputy Celestial Envoy…” an old woman with a pouch around her waist.
“Hahaha, Lady Wind, I’ve yet to thank you for lending the power of the wind bag….please come in…please-”
Following soon after.
Immortals from the Thunder Department, Household Registration
Department, Demon Driving Institute… all made their way over.
It’s worth mentioning.
Unbeknownst to whether they had received some news or not, surprisingly, two strong men from the Heavenly River Navy also made their way here, carrying a pole loaded with presents to celebrate.
“We received orders from General Zhu to congratulate Lord Xuanqing, congratulating you on your promotion to Right Deputy Celestial Envoy, ranked amongst the Lingxiao….”
The two strong men in silver-white armor, having firm and unyielding faces, looked extraordinary in their disposition.
General Zhu?
Xuanqing was initially taken aback, but he immediately realized, it must be referring to senior brother Zhu Ganglie in the human world.
“You two generals, isn’t my senior brother Zhu Ganglie banished to the human realm..why is it so?”
“Lord Xuanqing, you may not know, but we were subordinate to General Zhu for one day, and will remain so for the rest of our life, in the 300,000 Heavenly River Navy, there has never been a second General Zhu!”
Hearing their words.
A thoughtful look flashed in Xuanqing’s eyes.
“I see….the banquet is already prepared….please, generals-”
“Thank you, Lord Xuanqing.”
The two men bowed their fists in deep voices, and then, like the other guests, walked into the Star Palace.
Inside the main hall.
Seats were filled, with lively chatter… it was a buzzing scene.
Xuanqing sat in the main seat.
By his side were some familiar people, the closest was his well-known acquaintance, Star Lord Taibai.
Then there were others such as Lord Huo De, the Celestial Official from Household Registration Department, Lady Wind, the Five Epidemic Gods, and the several from Thunder Department… and so on.
Unlike the other tables where ‘ginseng fruit porridge’ was served.
On this table, ginseng fruits were served directly, and in front of everyone, there were two fruits on each plate, forming an auspicious pair.
No one has started yet as they were waiting for their host, Xuanqing, to stand up and make his speech.
“Ahem-”
Xuanqing stood up.
He looked around, observing all the celestial guests in the main hall.
All the immortals who caught his gaze responded with nods and smiles.
“On this day, I am promoted to the position of Right Deputy Celestial Envoy of the Five Thunders, and I am honored to receive the congratulations from fellow daoists…”
To be honest.
He does not really enjoy doing this kind of thing, making speeches in front of so many people.
But one cannot help it in the pugilistic world. It is all about give and take. Plus, when others are giving you face, bringing congratulations and gifts, you can’t be too cold, otherwise, you would end up with no friends.
After the speech.
All the gods clapped and cheered, raising their glasses, and the atmosphere was jubilant.
After feasting.
Everyone did not disperse, but rather continued to converse and discuss Tao in the grand hall, occasionally demonstrating their skills or playing chess and drinking wine.
At this moment.
The banquet had entered its second day, and the grand hall was still bustling with activity.
However, a trace of worry was visible in Xuanqing’s eyes.
As the saying goes, one day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth, he and these idle immortals are not the same. Matters in the mortal world were left unattended, and the Divine’s flower has not been cultivated and condensed….
On one side.
Star Lord Taibai seemed to sense something, concluded his chat with several other Star Lords, and walked over.
“Daoist Xuanqing, I see that your brow is furrowed. Is anything troubling you?”
Upon hearing this.
“That is true, one day in heaven equals a year on earth. The conferment at the
Lingxiao Bao Hall has been delayed…I can’t afford any more delays…”
Xuanqing gave a bitter smile and spoke of his worries.
At this moment.
He had been in the Heavenly Court for two full days, which equates to two years in the Lower Realm or two months in the real world.
After hearing Xuanqing’s narration.
Star Lord Taibai suddenly understood and said, “If that’s the case, why not speak up directly? We can’t let it delay your cultivation.”
“Hmm!
Xuanqing nodded his head.
His main purpose of coming to the Heavenly Court was to accept his promotion to Fourth-Rank, and to inquire about the Heavenly Merit treasure in Douluo Palace.
Now that he had completed these two tasks, he didn’t want to dawdle in the Heavenly Court any longer. After all, the passage of time, with one day in heaven being a year on earth, was too torturous for him.
Thinking so.
Xuanqing let the Qi Flower surge into his throat and addressed the chatting immortals:
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but I have something to announce!”
A resounding voice echoed around the grand hall.
All the gods looked in the direction of the sound, it emerged that the newly appointed Right Deputy Celestial Envoy of Five Thunders, Daoist Xuanqing was speaking, so they respectfully turned their attention to him.
At this moment.
Seeing all the divine beings’ attention was on him, Xuanqing intended to speak up about his unfinished tasks in the mortal world.
However.
An unexpected event occurred before he began to speak.
Boom!
A thunderbolt resounded in the sky above Star Lord Mansion, followed by the appearance of billowing dark clouds.
Upon seeing this.
Everyone was stunned.
“Huh… Lord Li, is it your Department of Thunder’s thunderbolt that has struck the Star Lord Mansion?”
“Impossible, besides, our Thunder Department doesn’t have the authority to strike the Star Lord Mansion with a thunderbolt!”
An immortal from Fate Palace felt compelled to ask the Thunder Department immortal standing next to him, but received a denial.
At this moment.
The celestial phenomenon in the sky continued to change.
The dark clouds and thunderbolt disappeared, replaced by auspicious signs as if fairy maidens were dancing gracefully amidst the celestial music.
At this sight.
Immediately.
The gods felt a shudder in their hearts, and an incredible thought emerged in their minds.
Did this newly promoted ‘Right Deputy Celestial Envoy of Five Thunders’…get another promotion in merely two days?
On the side.
Star Lord Taibai’s eyes widened in shock as he watched the celestial phenomena in the sky, his mind profoundly shaken..
