What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 589
589 Lightning Division (1)
“Don’t worry. Not to mention that you have the ability, even with your identity as a member of the Immortal Court, they will have to think twice before provoking you.”
Huang Chengzhang said with a smile. He was clearly comforting him, but his tone was domineering.
The Immortal Court was the strongest faction in the entire Immortal World. Any immortal in it had a halo around them. This was confidence.
Song Shi said calmly, “I actually hope that they will come and find trouble.”
Just because he wasn’t courting death didn’t mean that he wasn’t looking for trouble. Next, he had to get resources for Wuyou. He couldn’t wait for these guys to come and deliver resources. This way, he could legitimately harvest resources.
“Hehe, interesting. You’re really interesting.”
Huang Chengzhang was amused. He patted Song Shi’s shoulder and said, “It’s right to do this to the outside world. On the inside, we have to keep a low profile. Many immortals in the Immortal Court have lived for too long. Their relationship is a little complicated.”
“I can help with the process of replacement.” Song Shi said meaningfully.
Huang Chengzhang was stunned. “Kid, you also cultivated hard to ascend. Why are you like a hothead? Don’t spout nonsense.”
Song Shi really wanted to say that he was not tired at all, but he reckoned that if he said it, Huang Chengzhang would not be able to help but hit him.
He changed the topic. “Speaking of which, I also have a plan to enter the Immortal Court, right?”
“It depends on your performance. With your strength, you have a chance to directly become an Immortal Official.”
Huang Chengzhang began to explain the situation to Song Shi, “If you want to become an Immortal Official, you have to be appointed by the Immortal Emperor. Of course, most of the time, you have to wait for a seat to be vacated unless you’re so strong that they have no choice but to arrange a position for you.”
Song Shi knew about these situations. The Immortal Court had been established for a long time, and many immortals had long occupied the pits. It would naturally be very troublesome for later generations to go up.
“The Immortal Court is divided into eight divisions. They are the Lightning Division, the Combat Division, the Water Division, the Fire Division, and…”
Huang Chengzhang did not know that Song Shi had possessed Thunder Immortal Monarch and continued to introduce the situation of the Immortal Court to Song Shi. He pretended not to know and listened secretly.
After learning about the distribution of the Immortal Court from an immortal, Song Shi felt like he had come to the myths and legends of his previous life.
However, although some things were similar, there were also some differences. For example, there were many Immortal Courts here, not just one.
In Huang Chengzhang’s introduction, the various immortal sects finished choosing the ascenders they wanted one after another.
In the end, no immortal sect was willing to accept the remaining 260 people.
This was awkward. Song Shi felt awkward just looking at it.
He originally thought that the various immortal sects would split them up, but in the end, most of these immortal sects looked like they did not lack people.
However, Song Shi thought about the situation in the Immortal World and felt that it was normal.
Immortals could live forever, so their needs for newcomers were naturally limited. There would be a batch of ascenders every ten years, so most of them were destined not to be valued by the immortal sects.
“The Immortal Court needs a hundred people to replenish the immortal soldiers. Those of you who are willing can stay and participate in the Immortal Soldier assessment. If you’re unwilling, you can be registered by the Immortal Officials. After obtaining the official identity token, you can decide where you want to go.”
Huang Chengzhang formatted his words.
Most of the ascenders who were not chosen were indignant. Some of them even revealed jealous expressions towards Song Shi.
Song Shi sensed it and turned his head. The two fellows he had killed in the illusion were not chosen either. They had transferred their resentment to him.
At this moment, an ascender could not help but say, “Lord Immortal Official, do we have no chance at all? We’re not bad either.”
Huang Chengzhang said coldly, “The Ascended Immortal Gathering emphasizes fate. If you’re not fancied by the immortal sects present, that means you’re not suitable. If you still want to join the immortal sects, go through other channels. We’ve already given you enough help here!”
Many ascenders who were not chosen could only accept this result dejectedly and did not dare to question anything else.
“This Ascended Immortal Gathering has ended. Leave!”
Following Huang Chengzhang’s order, the various immortal sects began to communicate casually.
An old man with silver hair walked out and said in an old voice, “Ascenders, please take out your temporary tokens.”
Song Shi did as he was told and took it out. The Immortal Official formed a seal and used his token as the foundation to activate beams of light that landed on all the temporary tokens.
The token that was originally only engraved with names and information shook violently, and immortal patterns lit up.
“Inject your Divine Telekinesis into it and leave behind your soul fluctuations.”
The Immortal Official reminded.
Song Shi probed with his thoughts. The token immediately formed a special power that recorded the characteristics of his divine sense. Then, the light converged and a mysterious power appeared.
Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. This identity token was quite interesting. It specially recorded soul fluctuations. In the future, it could still be used even if he possessed someone else.
On the other hand, the Immortal Court could effectively manage all the registered immortals with this token. This situation was completely different from the Mystic Spirit Realm where there were thousands of races.
“Everyone, please keep this token well. Don’t leave it behind. If it’s really damaged or left behind, please come to the Immortal Court to settle it in time. Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient to do things sometimes.”
The Immortal Official reminded solemnly.
The ascenders frowned. Most of them were carefree in the lower realm. They were not used to suddenly having an identity token restriction.
“Lord Huang, I’ll take my leave first. Come to our Golden Cloud Cave more often when you’re free.”
The old woman bade farewell to Huang Chengzhang and said to Du Ming’e, “Hurry up and bid farewell to your fellow cultivators.”
Du Ming’e nodded and walked up to Song Shi. She smiled sweetly and said, “Brother Song, congratulations on joining the Immortal Court. You’ll have to take care of me in the future.”
Yang Kuisheng and Zhao Kaizeng also came over to seize the opportunity to say a few more words. Song Shi replied indifferently.
Many ascenders bade farewell to each other and left, leaving only those who wanted to become immortal weapons.
“It’s about time. Follow me to the Immortal Court.”
After Song Shi, Du Ming’e, and the others finished speaking, Huang Chengzhang said, “I also told you about the composition of my Immortal Court just now. I wonder which one you’re interested in?”
Song Shi said without hesitation, “Lightning Division.”
He had possessed the Thunder Immortal Monarch and most of his relevant memories were related to the Lightning Division. Naturally, he was like a fish in water in the Lightning Division.
“The Lightning Division? That’s quite an idea. This one is in charge of punishment and has a high status. It’s easy to offend people.”
Huang Chengzhang was not surprised by Song Shi’s choice.
Among the eight divisions of the Heavenly Court, the Lightning, Fire, Water, Combat, and Wealth divisions were all chosen by newcomers. Among them, the Lightning Division was the most popular because it was more or less glorious to be in charge of punishment.
“It’s fine. I’m not afraid of offending anyone.”
Song Shi really wanted to say that it was good to be a sinner. He liked to offend people.
“Your personality is really suitable for the Lightning Division. In that case, I’ll bring you to the Lightning Division directly. If you become a Punishment Lightning Duke in the future, you have to be gentler to me.”
Huang Chengzhang teased. He threw out a cloud and flew in the air with Song Shi.
After leaving for a distance, Song Shi realized that he was standing on a huge jade platform that was also in the void.
“This is the Ascension Immortal Platform. It specially gathers ascenders and arranges for them to go.”
Huang Chengzhang introduced simply, “This is the Central Continent region of the Great Mastery Immortal World. The Immortal Court is located in the center of the Central Continent. In fact, it’s in the sky. Below is the area where the immortals live. Most of them are mortal cultivators.”
