What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 591
591 Lightning Punishment Envoy (1)
The two immortal soldiers looked at Song Shi with strange expressions.
They had often seen ascenders join the Immortal Court here. They were so powerful the moment they arrived. Other than the connections with those mighty figures, it could be said that there was basically no one like them.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll report it now.”
The guard on the left replied politely and disappeared in a flash. Soon, another guard stepped aside and said, “Please come in. Lord Taiwei is waiting.”
The two of them entered one after another. Thunder rumbled in their ears as if they had entered a sea of lightning. The space in the hall was vast, like a small world. There were all kinds of lightning snakes rolling and thunder dragons roaring, intimidating people.
Song Shi was shocked. He did not expect such a scene in the palace. He thought it would be very quiet.
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face flew out and waved his hand with a smile. In the blink of an eye, the lightning was silent and he brought the two of them to a calm sea of lightning.
They entered another space. The old man with white hair and a youthful face smiled kindly, “Heavenly Official Huang, the newcomer you brought this time is indeed not bad. He attracted so many Lightning Spirits the moment he arrived. His Lightning Dao Talent is not bad.”
Song Shi was stunned when he heard that. So he was the one who caused the commotion in the surrounding sea of lightning?
Huang Chengzhang bowed. “Official Registrar Taiwei, this person cultivates the Chaotic Dao. The Lightning Law is one of the single-attribute Great Dao he has grasped.”
Tai Wei glanced sideways at Song Shi. “Young people just have ideas and choose the most difficult path.”
“What’s wrong with that? In the future, I’ll just choose to major in the Lightning Dao.”
Huang Chengzhang said nonchalantly, “I’ve brought him over for you. I still have some things to do. If Lord Registrar is satisfied with this person, remember to treat me to a drink.”
With that, Huang Chengzhang tactfully left, leaving Song Shi and Taiwei some space to communicate.
“Greetings, Senior Taiwei.”
Song Shi cupped his fists and bowed in time.
Taiwei nodded and asked Song Shi about the situation. Soon, he began to get down to business. He raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a booklet that emitted a dignified aura.
The book flickered with lightning and contained some kind of Heavenly Dao power. He grabbed at the air and a lightning dragon flew over. It turned into a three-colored lightning brush and wrote on the book.
“Young ascender, welcome to our Lightning Division. I’m in charge of the registration arrangements of some immortals in the Lightning Division of the Great Mastery Immortal Court. You’ve succeeded in the Lightning Fire Great Dao and performed well in the Ascended Immortal Gathering. You can be said to be one in a thousand. However, you’ve just arrived in the Immortal World after all and need time to familiarize yourself with it. I’ll first arrange for you to be a Lightning Punishment Envoy of the East Continent and be under the jurisdiction of the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment Immortal Monarch to handle the rewards and punishments of the sect. Do you accept?”
Taiwei’s words became more and more dignified. In the end, they shook the void and seemed to resonate with the world, adding a hint of holiness.
When Song Shi heard this, this arrangement was already very good. The Lightning Punishment Envoy was equivalent to a guide. They were both Immortal Officials of the Immortal Court. However, one was to guide an ascender and the other was to assist in the punishment. The division of labor was different.
Since he wanted to work in the Lightning Division, he naturally had to listen to the arrangements. He said without hesitation, “I accept.”
“Very good. Next, I’ll give you a set of low-grade Immortal Armor, a low-grade Lightning Punishment Sword, a hundred low-grade Immortal Crystals, three bottles of low-grade Immortal Essence Liquid, and a low-grade Immortal Abode. Next, I’ll give you a hundred years to convert your Immortal Power and familiarize yourself with the situation of the Immortal Court. In a hundred years, you’ll officially patrol the East Continent.”
Taiwei waved the three-colored brush in his hand, and balls of light flew out of the sea of lightning. Immortal light flickered inside, and they were not ordinary.
“Thank you, Official Registrar Taiwei.”
Song Shi took it happily. It had been a long time since anyone had sent him anything. He really missed it.
“There’s a jade book that introduces the rules of the Immortal Court and the immortals and gods. Take a look when you’re free. Try to familiarize yourself with the Immortal Court as soon as possible and be qualified to be the Lightning Punishment Envoy.”
After the Official Registrar Taiwei finished formatting, he put away the book and immortal brush and looked deeply at Song Shi. “Your starting point is higher than most ascenders. You have to cherish this opportunity. Be careful with your words and actions, cultivate sincerely, and do things patiently.”
“I definitely will.”
Song Shi nodded and accepted the item in the ball of light without hesitation. The immortal abode inside belonged to a key.
“I’m just going through the motions. What you urgently need now is to transform your Immortal Power and fuse it with the Laws of the Immortal World.”
Official Registrar Taiwei prepared his hands and ordered, “Dragon Axe, bring him to the Cloud Sea Heaven to settle down.”
His status was higher than Huang Chengzhang’s, so he was not too polite to Song Shi. After saying that, he transformed into a beam of light and fused into the sea of lightning.
Behind Song Shi, a burly young man appeared out of thin air. He was dressed in a silver robe and had dragon horns on his head. He smiled at him and said, “Brother Song, follow me with the immortal abode key.”
Song Shi followed him out of the Lightning Division and flew towards the periphery of the Immortal Court.
“Brother Song, you’re one of the few people who obtained the position of Lightning Punishment Envoy as soon as you arrived.”
Dragon Axe smiled and said, “After all, the Lightning Punishment Envoy is not an ordinary Immortal Soldier. Basically, only upper-level Heavenly Immortals can hold the position. Here, many newcomers have to cultivate for ten thousand years before they have a chance. You did it the moment you arrived. You can be said to be one in a million.”
“I have no choice. I’m so strong.” Song Shi smiled. He was not embarrassed to praise himself at all.
“Haha, Brother Song, you’re quite interesting. There’s indeed no need to be humble about this matter. In the Immortal Court, merit is rewarded and status is determined by strength. There’s no need to hide how capable you are.”
Dragon Axe was not angry. Instead, he was rather impressed and felt that Song Shi was a true person.
After they left the Immortal Palace, Dragon Axe transformed into a silver lightning dragon and flew into the distance like lightning.
Song Shi took a step forward. There was also lightning flickering on his body as he followed closely behind the Dragon Axe with the Lightning Escape Technique.
The latter sensed Song Shi’s ability and roughly understood why Official Registrar Taiwei valued Song Shi.
He did not say anything and flew for a thousand miles. Then, he began to descend and arrived at an area where the sea of clouds churned and lightning flickered.
Among them, there were lower-grade immortal palaces floating. They were connected by chains and were absorbing the nearby lightning. The overall layout appeared to be in the form of the Eight Trigrams. In the center was a square.
In the sea of clouds, every immortal abode was very spacious, so the entire area was very large, not inferior to a continent. However, there were very few immortals inside.
“This is the Eight Gates Immortal Abode of the Immortal World’s Cloud Sea Heaven. It’s built in the sea of clouds. Use the mark of the key to find the Immortal Abode corresponding to the divination position. This is the place where the Immortal Gods of the Lightning Division usually gather and communicate. If you have time, you can take a look around. You will naturally be able to familiarize yourself quickly.”
At this point, Dragon Axe bade farewell and returned, as if he did not want to land in the immortal abode group.
Song Shi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Eight Gates Immortal Abode in front of him. Thunder Immortal Monarch had been here before, but to him, it was just some memories. Now, he could be considered to have personally visited it.
He passed through the nearest Qian Gate with ease and looked at the key. He arrived at the Xun hexagram area and a vast immortal abode appeared in front of him.
These immortal abodes were huge manors with all kinds of plants planted inside. The environment was beautiful and immortal energy was ethereal.
A lightning-like key appeared in his hand. On it was engraved: Xun C22.
He passed through two rows of immortal estates and found his residence in the third row. He smiled and activated the key before striding in.
A circle of Law Power flowed out of his body like water. Song Shi’s vision suddenly opened up, and an immortal mansion appeared in front of him.
As the opening behind him disappeared, he touched his chest. “Now, do you dare to speak?”
