In an instant.
An indescribable fluctuation, centered on the Lingxiao Bao Hall, spread throughout the whole Fairyland, and even the entire Three Realms.
The Human World, the Netherworld… even some special places attached to the Primordial World, all sensed this fluctuation.
When an Immortal Official reaches the first grade, whether it be the secondary or standard first grade, it means that the contemporary world now has one more powerful being who can command the chessboard.
The changes in Heaven and Earth.
Luck!
Extremely dense luck fell upon Xuanqing, elevating his destiny at an extremely terrifying speed.
Not just the promotion of destiny.
More importantly.
A strange and inexplicable change began to occur within Xuanqing’s God Soul.
A square-shaped object, similar to a jade seal, condensed within his God Soul, exuding a mysterious aura.
After this jade seal took shape.
Fortune came to his soul.
Xuanqing instantly understood what it was.
Divine Landmark!
Golden Que Divine Landmark!
Representing the highest rule of this world, possessing this jade seal means that his every action will affect the operation of the world’s rules.
Not entering Reincarnation, not falling into Hell, protected by the Heavenly Path.
Heaven and Earth are eternal… the Golden Que is immortal!
At the time when Xuanqing was conferred as a secondary first-rank Daoist Immortal Official.
Taixuan Court.
Zhang Daoling, Xu Xun, and Ge Xuan, the three Heavenly Masters of the Dao Court, were holding the chessboard and discussing doctrine when they were astonished by the immense movement.
“I never thought that Daoist friend Xuanqing would reach this step so quickly!” Zhang Daoling put down the white flag in his hand and said with emotion.
His opponent was Xu Xun, the Heavenly Master, who also felt very emotional.
At the side.
Ge Xuan, the Heavenly Master, even had a cryptic remark: “Daoist friends, it seems that there will soon be one more person… holding the chessboard!”
Their faces were all smiling.
Regardless of how it happened.
Xuanqing’s promotion to secondary first rank meant that he would soon establish a Taoist temple, and it also meant that their Human Race’s influence in this world had increased a bit!
In the Land of Darkness, the Yama’s Palace.
When the movement of the Heavenly Court’s decree reached this place.
The Ten Temples Yama Kings gathered together, their gazes towards the West Niu Hezhou direction, their eyes filled with shock.
An additional secondary first-rank being between Heaven and Earth, and soon after, the establishment of another Daoist temple, signifies that the pattern of the Three Realms will change.
They don’t know whether this change is good or bad for the Netherworld.
Deep in the land of the Netherworld.
Here lies a barbaric world, inhabited by many unique creatures. These creatures have no primordial spirits, but possess extremely powerful physical bodies.
They have bodies similar to humans, and their race is called Witch!
Amidst them.
A woman with a gaze filled with compassion and an aura of sincerity looked into the gloomy sky of the Netherworld.
“When this person establishes a Taoist temple, perhaps… it’s time for the Witch Tribe to place a bet!” The woman’s eyes revealed an indescribable color.
Ying Province’s Three Islands.
Fu Lu Shou, the three old bigshots, also looked at the Land of Black Wind with mixed emotions on their faces.
They never thought that not long ago, they needed to help Daoist Xuanqing to achieve the Road to Celestials.
In such a short time, he had already reached this point.
Apart from these old bigshots of the Three Realms.
Western Paradise World.
In the Daxiong Baodian.
A Buddha with a head full of relics (Buddha’s Sutras) was giving a sermon to the Buddhas below; upon sensing the fluctuations coming from the Heavenly Court.
“Guanyin, what do you think of this Daoist Xuanqing?” the magnificent and towering voice spoke from the mouth of Tathagata Buddha.
“This person… for some unknown reason, holds some prejudice against our Shimen. 1 just hope that no accidents will occur with the upcoming great event of Shimen!”
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s face showed worries, and she spoke with a melancholic expression.
Every time she thought of Daoist Xuanqing, some unpleasant memories surfaced in her mind.
When she first met Xuanqing, he snatched away her mountain-guarding demon beast, and later on, he even killed the Yellow Wind Monster in front of her. Moreover, her avatar was annihilated by him.
With these actions,
even the original predetermined time for fetching the scriptures of Shimen was delayed for quite a while due to the rearrangement of the tribulation matters.
Hearing this,
the look in Tathagata’s eyes became contemplative.
Lingxiao Bao Hall.
Not to mention the huge fluctuations that spread throughout the Three Realms after this event, but the anomaly lasted for several hours before it finally stopped.
Huh-‘
Xuanqing opened his eyes, surrounded by a rich golden light of rules, seeming completely integrated with the world in every action.
His Destiny… in this world, has been raised to the Secondary First-rank degree.
In fact,
upon reaching the Secondary First-rank, a Daoist Immortal Officer has reached the limit. Beyond that, the Standard First-rank either involves the physical body dying and the God Soul coming to the Heavenly Court for conferral or automatically being promoted to the Standard First-rank while alive…
However, those who successfully establish a Taoist temple while alive are considered Standard First-rank, although their actual status is somewhat higher than that of ordinary Standard First-rank.
“I… thank the Jade Emperor for conferring the honor!”
Xuanqing looked at the Jade Emperor and said solemnly.
On the high platform,
the Jade Emperor nodded slightly, and then signaled to the Minister of Singing of the Ministry of Rites on the side.
Immediately,
the Minister of Singing stepped forward and shouted, “Report if there is a matter… withdraw if there is no matter!”
With everyone’s daily idleness, naturally, there was nothing to report, so the court meeting…ended like this.
Here,
as soon as Xuanqing stepped out of Lingxiao Bao Hall,
the gods quickly surrounded him, with old acquaintances congratulating him one after another.
“Congratulations on Immortal Xuanqing becoming a First Grade Official!”
“The promotion of Immortal Xuanqing to First-grade Official is well-deserved.”
“Congratulations to Immortal Xuanqing on becoming a First-grade Official and on the establishment of a Taoist temple in the near future!”
Although it’s not certain that a Daoist Immortal Officer will establish a Taoist temple after being promoted to First-rank, and it’s possible that the God Soul returns to the Heavenly Court when the physical body dies, no one would foolishly congratulate the protagonist for dying.
“Daoist Xuanqing… Immortal, would you like to have an Ascension Banquet at my mansion?”
Suddenly,
a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
Xuanqing looked over and saw Star Lord Taibai looking at him nervously.
Immortal?
“Sigh-”
Xuanqing let out a helpless sigh, then stood up straight and bowed slightly to Taibai.
“Daoist Friend Taibai!”
H
Huh??”
Star Lord Taibai was stunned, looking puzzled at Xuanqing who was bowing to him.
The other gods were also confused.
In their eyes, as the Secondary First-rank Daoist Immortal Official, Xuanqing was already the highest-ranking official present.
But now he was bowing…to the Second-rank Immortal Taibai. What was he trying to do?
“Daoist Friend Taibai!” Xuanqing looked extremely serious and said solemnly, “When I was a nobody, you treated me as a Daoist Friend and even helped me many times.”
“Let alone me being just a Secondary First-rank Official now, even if I return to the Heavenly Court as a Standard First-rank Official in the future, or by chance establish a Taoist temple, 1 will always address you as… Daoist Friend!
Upon hearing this,
Star Lord Taibai’s body trembled.
After a long while,
Huh-”
“Well, then I… will continue to call you Daoist Xuanqing.” Moved, Star Lord Taibai said, but quickly changed the subject: “However…if you become my superior in the future, I will still address you as Immortal!”
As the saying goes, smart people do smart things.
For Star Lord Taibai, as long as Xuanqing is not his direct superior, addressing each other as Daoist Friends will only bring them closer.
However, if the two become directly connected in leadership, continuing to address each other as Daoist Friends will only make others think they are disrespectful.
Star Lord Taibai, who is known as a ‘Nice Old Man’ in the Heavenly Court, is not a fool.
“Daoist Friend Xuanqing, your promotion to Secondary First-rank is both joyous and congratulatory. Shall we hold an Ascension Banquet at my mansion?” Star Lord Taibai cupped his hands and asked again.
“No need!”
Xuanqing shook his head.
He looked at the gods, cupped his hands, and said loudly:
