Chapter 50: Everything is illusory, seeking ascension by stepping on air 2

The heavenly soldiers here are much more powerful than the so-called heavenly soldiers in the mundane world.
Fear is perhaps the weakest, yet every one of them possesses the power of magical abilities.
Once again, beneath the corridor of that high platform, the void is faintly visible, with countless stars shining from below, like sand at the bottom of a river.
Chapter Zizuzu smiled and said, "Each of these stars represents a lower realm."
These immortals who have ascended from the lower realms will gather here! This can be called the true immortal realm!"
Zhou Tunan laughed and said, "Doesn't this mean that immortals are no different from dogs, wandering everywhere!"
"It's not that exaggerated to disagree with Zibai," laughed loudly, "but it's not that many. Moreover, it's spreading?"
"Just like the imperial examination in the mortal world, there are at least two to three hundred candidates in each session, which seems quite a lot."
"But in reality, it's not that many. Not to mention the rampant situation?"
周图南点头应是，一个中土大吴，平均算下来，差不多也要一两百年才能飞升一位。
这次之周图南三人之所以一起飞升，不过只是当初中土气运衰微到了极点。此刻借着重振昂扬之势，才有三人飞升。
And these three, Zhou Tunan, have been practicing for about one hundred and fifty years!
Therefore, although there are certainly not few immortals who have ascended in the immortal realm, it is impossible for them to reach such a rampant state.
Just follow Li Zhangzi all the way, and Li Zhangzi suddenly asked, "Are you planning to accept the divine mission? But you are in clear seclusion."
Zhou Tunan asked, "How about the divine mission? And how about clear seclusion?"
Li Zhangzi smiled and said, "Most of us immortals prefer peace and choose to cultivate peacefully. However, there are various duties in the heavenly court that still need to be done! We can't leave everything to those officials. We just hope there are fewer people willing to work hard!"
Originally, those who received heavenly tasks were called immortals.
And those who did not have heavenly tasks but had a peaceful cultivation were called virtuous immortals.
Zhou Tunan thought for a moment and smiled, "I am someone who is never afraid of trouble! Then I'll take on a heavenly task!"
Li Zhang laughed heartily and said, "I knew you would make such a choice!"
Then he continued, "Receiving the heavenly duty also means receiving salary and provisions from the heavenly court. In fact, it won't delay your cultivation too much!"
Just right, I rarely stay in the Tai Xuan Palace for meditation. Most of us choose to serve in the Heavenly Court!"
As they spoke, the two exchanged a smile.
Zhou Tunan then asked, "Where do you serve, Master?"
Li Zhangzi smiled and replied, "Unlike you, who enjoys fighting and killing, most of us in the Tai Xuan Palace serve in the Heavenly Pivot Hall!"
Tianshu Court is the central institution of the Heavenly Court, corresponding to the location of the State Council.
Taixuan Palace excels in the art of calculating celestial secrets, and its disciples are suitable for positions in Tianshu Court.
On the contrary, there are few people who like to fight and kill like Zhou Tuna.
As for the basic knowledge about the Heavenly Court, there are sporadic records in some mortal books, so it's not like people know nothing about it!
The so-called salary and rice, known as the precious pearl millet, are the necessary resources for the cultivation of immortals. They are extremely precious!
Zhou Tunan said, "I remember that even if ordinary idle immortals do not have official duties, they still receive the distribution of food and rice, right?"
Li Zhang smiled and said to Xiao Xiao, "After receiving the heavenly duty, there will naturally be more grain and rice!"
Zhou Tunan laughed and said, "No wonder no one is willing to accept the heavenly duty anymore!"
It's all the same whether you do the work or not, those who don't work also have food to eat, and those who do work just have a little more. Who would still want to do the work?
However, looking at Zhou Tunan's journey of cultivation, others pursue tranquility and practice, and are most afraid of violence, which brings about the burden of karma.
However, Zhou Tunan is completely fearless of killing and has caused numerous troubles, but still managed to make it so far.
Zhou Tunan himself is not afraid of trouble and is willing to work hard, that is true!
Right now, Zhang Zi led Zhou Tunan in a different direction, heading to the Selecting Immortal Department to report.
Inside the Selecting Immortal Department, the office was occupied by several divine officials. Upon seeing the arrival of the two immortals, they were all astonished and hurriedly went inside to bring their superior.
The original main officer of the Immortal Selection Bureau is also an immortal. He was just drinking in the back hall. When he saw the two of them, he exclaimed, "Are you here to receive your divine duties? This is rare!"
Li Zhangzi smiled and said, "It's not me who is here to take on the heavenly mission, but my grand disciple who has just ascended and intends to gain some experience!"
Upon hearing this, the chief officer suddenly realized and laughed, "I see now!"
Looking at Zhou Tianan with a polite tone, he asked, "In the Heavenly Court, we have one palace, two institutes, and three departments. May I ask where you would like to go?"
It seems that the Heavenly Court in the immortal realm is really short of people, to the extent that one can even choose their own position!
After some consideration, Zhou Tunan said, "In that case, I will choose the Exorcism Academy!"
Hearing this, the official suddenly showed respect, "So you are a sword immortal. I suppose you excel in combat and killing, which is why you want to go to the Exorcism Academy!"
Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "Although I am not a sword immortal, I have some understanding of the art of killing!"
The official suddenly remembered and asked, "May I ask which blessed land or immortal mountain you two are from? And which sect do you belong to?"
Li Zhizhen said to Lichang Zi, "We are disciples of the Tai Xuan sect from the Shangqing Immortal Mountain!"
The superior nodded slightly, "Indeed, you come from a prestigious sect!"
Although the Tai Xuan Palace is not considered a top-notch sect or a major force in the immortal realm.
However, it is also a sect that has risen rapidly in the Heavenly Court for over a thousand years.
This sect's style is different from other sects that focus on leisurely cultivation. The disciples of Tai Xuan Palace are courageous and willing to take on tasks, with most of them serving in various departments of the Heavenly Court, especially in the Heavenly Axis Institute!
No wonder Zhou Tian just ascended to the immortal realm and chose to take on that responsibility. Moreover, he went to the most dangerous exorcism institute, I guess he is preparing to gain celestial powers!
We must not underestimate him!
Although the chief official of the Immortal Selection Department is a disciple of the prestigious Lingxiao Sect in the immortal realm, the contempt for Zhou Tunan and the other person intensified even more!
Without saying much, he immediately gave Zhou Tunan an imperial decree, talismans, and other items. He explained a few things to pay attention to when going to the Demon Expelling Academy, and then sent the two of them out the door.
Although I don't think highly of the Mount Taixuan, whether as a human or as an immortal, one should cultivate more flowers and avoid planting thorns!
This Heavenly Court treats immortals well, especially those who are willing to accept their heavenly duties.
别的不说，周图南都还没去上班，那俸禄就已经先领到手了。
就是一个小袋子装着，打开一看，一颗颗圆滚滚绿豆大小的珠子就已经出来。
These beads are filled with radiance and each one contains vast and refined innate ancestral energy. It is the so-called precious bead millet, the celestial salary and grain!
But it is much more convenient than the immortals themselves collecting that innate ancestral energy!
However, it's not of much use for the next phase of cultivation for immortals.
Well, at most it's just like regular food, sustaining the existence of immortals!
Zhou Tunan casually put away the purse, when Li Zhangzi saw it, he said, "The Demon Expulsion Institute is the battlefield of the Heavenly Court, and it is the most dangerous place. Very few immortals choose it. But I'm not surprised that you chose this place!"
How about going to Mount Taixuan with me first and then going to the Demon Expelling Institute to report in!" Li Zhangzi smiled and suggested.
