Southern Heavenly Gate.
Mists and clouds swirled around.
A young Taoist priest holding a feather duster, looking ethereal, flew upwards. It was none other than Xuanqing, rushing to receive his conferment.
This scene…
Zeng Zhang Tianwang, a deity with a red face and sharp teeth, instinctively wanted to berate the newcomer.
But after seeing the face of the newcomer, he shrank back and quickly put on a smile, bowing respectfully.
“I have seen the superior immortal!”
“Hmm!”
Xuanqing briefly glanced at him, then stepped into the Southern Heavenly Gate.
To him now, Zeng Zhang Tianwang, the gatekeeper, was nothing but a lackey, and one from Shimen at that, a faction he didn’t get along with. He naturally wouldn’t care about the gatekeeper’s opinions.
Once inside the Heavenly Court.
Xuanqing headed for the Household Registry and Destiny Bureau.
It was a stroke of luck that the immortal official in charge of the Fate Palace was an old acquaintance.
He was the Registration Immortal Official who had descended to the human world to confer Xuanqing when he was refining his Chaos Virtue Holy Body.
“So it is Immortal Xuanqing. I wonder what brings you here, is there anything this humble official can assist you with?”
Seeing that it was Xuanqing, the Registration Immortal Official hurriedly stood up, greeting warmly.
Now.
Everyone in the Heavenly Court knew of Xuanqing— the clever disciple of the Old Lord, the junior of Zhen Yuan, a friend of Taibai, with great potential to become the fourth pioneer of the Dao Court for the human race in the future.
Any of these titles alone would be astonishing, let alone all of them combined. His achievements were simply outstanding.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune!”
Xuanqing made a Taoist salutation as a greeting gift.
“I sensed a calling in my heart, that I am to be promoted to a Secondary
Third-rank Taoist Immortal Official. I have ascended to heaven this time solely for the ceremony of conferment!”
???
The Registration Immortal Official stammered.
“You..you mean promotion? Conferment?”
“Indeed!” Xuanqing nodded slightly.
“Hiss-”
Having received confirmation, the Registration Immortal Official sucked in a breath of cold air, contributing to the warming of heaven.
Hadn’t Xuanqing just recently been promoted?
What’s more important.
Last time he attended the Ascension Banquet, and he was promoted again there.
How much time has passed since then?
He’s now promoted again to a Secondary Third-Rank Immortal Official.
This…this…this…this…this…
“Huh-”
The Registration Immortal Official took a deep breath, barely suppressing his surprise. He cupped his hands and said:
“My apologies. I was so shocked that I acted improperly in front of you.”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing flashed a smile, waving his hand: “Never mind that. May I trouble you to check when my conferment can be held?”
“Sure, sure! Just give me a minute!”
The Registration Immortal Official nodded repeatedly, then began to check through the documents on his desk for the next court meeting at Lingxiao Bao Hall.
A moment later.
“What a coincidence, there’s a court meeting at Lingxiao Bao Hall tomorrow. I will register you. Tomorrow at the court meeting, the Jade Emperor will confer you!” the Registration Immortal Official exclaimed, smacking himself on the forehead.
“Hehe!”
Xuanqing chuckled.
This was no coincidence. He had already calculated the timing in the Real World and chose to ascend to heaven just before the court meeting.
Of course, these words couldn’t be said out loud. Otherwise, he would be flaunting his skills in calculation.
Afterwards.
Xuanqing cupped his hand and said: “I appreciate your help. I have a lot of things to do in my ascension this time, so I won’t delay further.”
“Farewell!”
“Take care, superior immortal. Feel free to visit the Fate Palace whenever you’re free. The boss often talks about you!” The Registration Immortal Official waved his hand, watching Xuanqing leave.
There was still plenty of time.
There was still half a day left before the court meeting in the morning of the next day.
After leaving the Fate Palace, Xuanqing planned to pay a visit to the Star Lord Taibai.
On his journey, the old senior Taibai had provided him with much help. They had developed a very good relationship.
What’s more.
After the conferment, he still had to visit the Douluo Palace to pay respects to the Ancestor Master. Given the rare opportunity to visit the Heavenly Court, he naturally had to do the necessary courtesies.
As Xuanqing was visiting friends in heaven and waiting for his conferment.
In the Real World-
After Elder Jingde and others left Qingping Temple and returned to the Heavenly Master Mansion, they immediately held an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, he communicated the palace lord’s ideas to the members of Law Enforcement Division.
Additionally.
Remembering the palace lord’s request to publish the Shenxiao Visualization, he called in a professional video production team immediately, led by Yang Ying.
Soon…
The Taoist official website had a new video.
In the video, the practice requirements for Shenxiao Visualization were clearly explained. It also mentioned that if one discovered they had cultivation talent and had burned incense at Taoist temples a hundred times, they could become an Inner House Disciple.
The so-called Inner House Disciple referred to those who were closer to the Taoists than ordinary incense guests and who had sincere faith.
As soon as the video went live.
Instantly, it caused a huge stir on the internet.
Just in one day, the video had gained over a hundred million views and this number was growing rapidly.
Just as Xuanqing had predicted, the issue of cultivation was hotly debated on the internet and seemed to have caused quite a chaos.
However, in reality…
The instructional video uploaded by the Taoist official website deterred many netizens who were planning to visit the Taoist temples, causing them to abandon their plans..
