The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True

Chapter 157: Chapter 156: Shock in Our Hearts!

Translator: 549690339

Looking at the content of the imperial decree.

A trace of hesitation appeared on the face of the Immortal Official.

Although Earth Deities belonged to the category of unimportant little gods, there had never been a case in the history of the Heavenly Court where eight hundred Earth Deities were conferred at once.

If this had been the request of an ordinary Taoist, he would have had no hesitation in rejecting the decree.

However!

This imperial decree was sent to him through the Imperial Edict Token of the Donghua Emperor, the big boss of the Household Register Department.

This made the matter difficult to handle.

After contemplating for a moment.

“It is said that doing less is better than doing more, doing nothing is better than doing less, and only by doing nothing can one avoid making mistakes.” “Confering eight hundred Earth Deities would cause great trouble, it’s better to ask the Donghua Emperor first!” The Immortal Official shook his head and thought to himself.

Then,

he stood up and went to the Donghua Purple Mansion, the residence of his big boss.

It is worth mentioning that,

Immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, as long as they have some status, usually have their own separate residence and separate working place.

Just like the Lingxiao Bao Hall and the Golden Palace of Clouds, the place where Donghua Emperor cultivates on weekdays is the Donghua Purple Mansion, or the East King Palace.

Donghua Purple Mansion!

“Esteemed Emperor, there is something your subordinate does not understand, please enlighten!” The Immortal Official bowed deeply and spoke respectfully. “What is it?”

“There is a Taoist named Xuanqing in the Lower Realm who, by your Imperial Edict, has conferred the title of Earth God upon eight hundred Earth Deities. May I ask your opinion on this matter?”

“These are just some unimportant little gods. In the future, for such minor matters, just approve them directly and don’t disturb my cultivation!”

The Donghua Emperor frowned and scolded.

Upon hearing this,

The Immortal Official immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, “Subordinate apologizes, apologizes, I know what to do in the future!” After saying this,

He slowly exited the East King Palace.

Upon seeing this,

“Sigh!”

The Donghua Emperor couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

He knew exactly what the Immortal Official was thinking.

In plain words, with such a matter that could be considered ‘right’ or ‘wrong,’ doing the right thing had no reward, but doing the wrong thing could result in severe consequences under the laws of the Heavenly Court.

And the Immortal Official’s choice to consult with the Donghua Emperor – although it disturbed the Emperor’s cultivation – at most led to a scolding, and nothing more.

Black Wind Mountain.

In the Taoist temple, next to the altar.

Xuanqing burned the Imperial Decree and waited for a long time without any response.

He couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Could it be that conferring eight hundred Earth Deities at once was too much?

However, as far as he knew, Earth Deities were local little gods who generally only needed to report to the higher-ups once.

After all,

Earth Deities received no salary and relied on managing leylines and earning the incense belief from the people to make a living.

Moreover, he had used the Imperial Edict given to him by the Donghua Emperor. In theory, even if the number was larger, there should be no problems.

Just as he was filled with doubts and wanted to send another Imperial Decree,

Finally,

Various phenomena emerged in the sky!

It was approved!

Xuanqing let out a sigh of relief.

With a thought, he opened the Game Mall, purchased a Gathering Qi Bead (Overflowing) from inside.

[-20010 Ingots]

With the deduction of Ingots, the Gathering Qi Bead was sent to his backpack, which he then took out.

The process of conferring the Earth Deities required consuming a certain amount of incense, as they were born from the collective thoughts of sentient beings.

With the Gathering Qi Bead in his hand, Xuanqing extracted all the incense within it.

“Go!”

Twenty thousand pieces of incense were divided into eight hundred strands, floating toward the eight hundred righteous souls hanging from the locust tree.

Humming-

A massive wave of divine power emanated from the locust tree, spreading in all directions.

Although they were only the lowest level Earth Deities, with each consuming just 25 units of incense, the sheer number of eight hundred caused quite a commotion.

The souls originally hanging on the locust tree regained consciousness and dispersed the confusion in their eyes after absorbing the power of the incense.

“Little god pays respects to sir!”

An old man’s soul, completely transformed into an Earth Deity, hurriedly bowed to Xuanqing through the divine force.

Upon becoming Earth Deities, they would naturally know their duties and possess basic techniques.

It is worth mentioning that because Xuanqing used his personal incense to confer these Earth Deities, they would be considered his subordinate gods since the day they ascended to godhood.

“Little god pays respects to sir!”

“Little god pays respects to sir!”

“Little god..”

Accompanied by the awakening of the first old man, the divine souls of the Earth Deities behind him all bowed to Xuanqing one by one.

Xuanqing rubbed his ears, feeling somewhat irritated.

Especially since these Earth Deities spoke using divine power in their spirit form, their voices seemed to resound from all directions.

For these Earth Deities, it was just a single act of worship upon becoming gods.

However, Xuanqing was dealing with eight hundred Earth Deities, each worshipping and saluting one after the other, which was rather annoying.

So it was.

Xuanqing waved his hand at the followers on the side who were watching the excitement.

“You all take care of these new gods. Arrange them in their respective territories around Black Wind Town!”

“We obey!”

The followers eagerly bowed in salute, then began counting and sorting the Earth Deities according to their ages, strength, and other factors.

Days later, eight hundred Earth Deities were distributed to their designated locations, essentially expanding the territory of Black Wind Town by tens of times, turning it from a small town into a city.

Black Wind Mountain returned to its peaceful state, and in accordance with the previous agreement, Silver and Silver-two child-like beings returned to the Taoist temple.

“Big brothers, let’s get started!” Xuanqing clasped his hands towards the two child-like beings.

Having said that!

With a thought, he took out a Chaos Pill from the Game Backpack, swallowed it, and transformed it into an extremely violent and domineering Chaos energy.

Even after ingesting three pills and absorbing enough Chaos energy, his physical body still couldn’t bear it.

Seeing this, the two child-like beings exchanged a glance, then Golden Horn, the elder brother, took out the Pestle for Grinding Medicine and began to hit Xuanqing’s body until the Chaos energy was subdued and Xuanqing fell unconscious before stopping.

The process was painful,

But Xuanqing had already gotten used to it. While enduring the pain, he circulated the Qi Flower and used its immense mana to tear a small piece of the subdued Chaos energy.

As before, the Chaos energy reacted violently, with the two child-like beings finally sitting down to finish calming it.

In this way, Xuanqing absorbed all of the Chaos energy from the Chaos Pill, strengthening his physical body.

He took a few days off in between his practices, even accompanying Zhu Ganglie to the Land of Darkness to visit Mao Erjie, who was currently waiting for the best time to be reincarnated.

Then,

He continued his practice.

Such a fulfilling life lasted until the time when the fifth Chaos Pill was about to be fully refined.

A game notification sound broke the tranquility of life..
