He is Longevity Star, the Immortal of the South Pole, and this Immortal Elder stroked his beard slightly, smiling.
"You two are flaunting your Immortal Position, the matters in the Central Celestial Realm are already spreading widely, all the Immortal Gods know that this Ling Yuan Emperor has profound lineage, his future prospects will certainly be extraordinary!"
The Celestial Official Emperor appeared benevolent, revealing a slight smile.
"After all, being the heir of His Majesty King Yu, favored by His Majesty, is naturally remarkable!"
This Celestial Official Emperor didn’t seem concerned, although the San Yuan Emperor lineage has been passed down for several generations and is no longer as close-knit as in ancient times, in the Celestial Court, they are still close allies.
Having such a powerful emerging Emperor in the Three Primal Spirit Official Hall is also very beneficial to the San Yuan Emperor lineage.
Three Stars understood this principle.
San Yuan Emperor and their Three Stars are almost the same.
The ancient San Yuan Emperor was held by Ancient Saint Kings Yao and Shun, and King Yu.
Only after the three ancient Human Emperors perfected their Dao Practice did they retire their positions as Three Officials Emperor and took on more central Emperor Positions of Origin, now having entered the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, becoming Celestial Saint Emperors, second only to the Six Celestial Emperors of the Celestial Court in hierarchy.
Outside the Water Official Emperor, Zhang Jian entered alone.
The other Immortals stayed on the upper fifth layer.
His Ling Yuan Emperor’s Mansion is on the Cloud Road of the upper fifth layer.
In the Water Official Emperor’s Mansion, the Tianhe Master was handling official duties. Upon learning Zhang Jian arrived, he immediately brought him into the main hall, delivering guidance face to face.
Zhang Jian was also a first-time Immortal Official and a middle-to-upper-level one at that, Tianhe Master worried Zhang Jian might be misled by the Celestial Rules and Celestial Laws of the Central Celestial Realm, as well as many unspoken ’customs’, leading to hidden losses.
Having the Water Official Emperor, the Third Grandmaster Ancestor, personally ’explaining’ and ’teaching’, Zhang Jian naturally wouldn’t act arrogantly.
Newly arrived, he indeed needed such an elder to lead him to integrate into this completely new system.
After all, the halo of genius was too bright on him.
Genius is enviable, yet having a genius beside oneself requires caution.
No one wants to be trampled underfoot by others.
Ultimately, Tianhe Master brought up Zhang Jian’s Immortal Position.
"Ah Yu, if I am not mistaken, your Divine Dao Emperor’s Authority has likely approached the realm of Taiyi Great Perfection?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s gaze fluctuated.
Tianhe Master obviously hadn’t seen through his own Dao Practice.
In fact, although his Earth Emperor’s Authority had just begun, it was sufficient to rival Taiyi Great Perfection.
At this moment, he had no intention of hiding, and said.
"Third Grandmaster, the disciple’s Divine Dao Authority has now stepped into Taiyi Great Perfection!"
Upon hearing this, Tianhe Master’s expression changed, with some shock.
"Truly astonishing!"
This indeed exceeded his expectations, and even though he occupies the Water Official Emperor position since ancient times, his own Dao Practice was only so.
Zhang Jian, this younger disciple, was fast catching up to him.
Though being a Divine Dao Emperor doesn’t necessarily reflect one’s Dao Practice.
However, Divine Dao Authority is also a part of strength.
He thought for a moment and said.
"I originally thought with your Dao Practice advancing, entering sequence nine would be no problem, now it seems entering sequence ten with your Dao Skill is not luck!"
"However, the transfer of Celestial positions typically correlates directly with the destiny you bring to the Celestial Realm and Celestial Court!"
"Ah Yu, if you wish to continue transferring, you must make achievements, whether by fulfilling duties, removing evil and upholding the Dao, or completing various Celestial Court tasks, your name must be recorded in the Merit Book for promotion!"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly.
"I humbly ask for guidance from the Third Grandmaster!"
Tianhe Master nodded his head, then shook it, sighing.
"Celestial transfers aren’t as simple as you think, you must seize the opportunity yourself. If there is chance, I will guide you!"
Tianhe Master’s eyes shimmered with Divine Light.
He didn’t harbor ulterior motives due to Zhang Jian rising fast.
Zhang Jian, being the Outer World Human Emperor, also the core of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, was watched growing up by them, not one to betray or be ungrateful.
From the cultivation of Chufa, Zidian, and even True Monarch Zhanmo, as well as many third-generation disciples of Tongshan Dao Lineage, it is evident that he values emotions and righteousness, and distinguishes between favors and grudges!
If he grows, his Third Grandmaster Ancestor will also benefit.
Upon receiving guidance from Tianhe Master, Zhang Jian then went to the Purple and Cyan Hall to gather the corresponding Divine Robe, Identity Token, Court Attire, and Casual Clothing from the Ling Yuan Emperor’s Mansion, and subsequently went to the Merit Hall to collect part of his stipend.
Although a Celestial Emperor, not a real-power Emperor, his stipend was still considerable.
Besides various Heaven and Earth Divine Objects, Magical Treasures, Dharma Artifacts, and even Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Land for choice, he could also choose Immortal Crystals as a stipend.
Immortal Crystals are condensed from the Innate Spiritual Mechanism essence of the Celestial Realm, can be directly used for cultivation, far more valuable than Spirit Crystals of the lower realm, and are the main circulating currency in the Celestial Realm.
As the sequence eighth Ling Yuan Emperor, Zhang Jian’s stipend was indeed considerable.
...
Zhang Jian returned with everyone to the upper fifth layer.
The Ling Yuan Emperor’s Mansion resides on an independent Immortal Island.
This is the aspect Zhang Jian was most satisfied with.
This independent Immortal Island possesses its own Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins, Sun and Moon Essence, and even supply of Innate Essence Qi. Every now and then, a surge of Innate Essence Qi flows through, containing Innate Creation within.
These are the innate benefits for Emperors.
These outstanding cultivation conditions completely support an Immortal’s practice at the Taiyi Great Perfection level, and Zhang Jian knows that, being the sequence eighth Court Official Emperor, he is eligible to enter some open Celestial cultivation Secret Realms, such as the All Heaven Star Sea, or even Celestial River Blessed Land, and certain innate forbidden zones in the Central Celestial Realm, or compete for corresponding innate secret lands.
This is the corresponding treatment.
Regarding duties, they are simple, which is to assist the Water Official Emperor in harmonizing the Heaven and Earth’s Yin and Yang, and similarly managing part of the Water Element Relief matters.
If the lower realm or somewhere requires the Water Official Emperor’s avatar to appear, and the Water Official Emperor is too occupied, one can step in as a substitute.
Or alternatively, deploy Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals to preside over the Water Mansion’s Chufa matters.
This is the martial aspect, followed by the civil aspect, such as accompanying the Water Official Emperor for official business, attending banquets, or participating in various Court assemblies afterward, helping to manage many subordinate departments under the Water Official Emperor.
Simply put, he is the Water Official Emperor’s ’Great Secret’!
It sounds profitable.
The real power may be lacking temporarily, but as a ’Great Secret’ of the Water Official Emperor and a trusted inner circle, how could there be no real power?
Besides this, Zhang Jian will have two Middle-Level Immortal Officials, six Middle-Under-level Immortal Officials, twelve Junior Immortal Officials, and twelve Reserve Immortal Officials under his command.
The two Middle-level Immortal Officials are one civil and one martial Immortal Judge, who will later be his right hand.
Only the threshold for Middle-level Immortal Officials must be above the Taiyi Realm, which he couldn’t temporarily fill with members of the Zhang family.
Out of the six Middle-Under-level Immortal Officials, one rigid condition is at least Celestial Immortal level, no higher than apex.
This is easily achievable.
Additionally, the minimum standard for twelve Junior Immortal Officials is the Middle Stage of True Immortal.
Twelve Reserve Immortal Officials have no fixed criteria as they are preliminary roles.
Regarding how to assign these Immortal Positions, Zhang Jian has ideas, but ultimately must confirm with the Tongshan Dao Lineage through communication.
This matter requires prudence to avoid giving other Immortals excuses to attack him.
These trivial matters temporarily occupied part of Zhang Jian’s energy.
Once leisure time arrived, Zhang Jian began researching another major matter.
Is it possible to perform ancestor rituals in the Celestial Realm?
Would the feedback from successful rituals change?
This is what Zhang Jian is most curious about.
Now, he has officially occupied the Ling Yuan Emperor’s position.
This is the sequence eighth Court Official Emperor of the Celestial Court.
Though lacking significant power, with such a position to conduct ancestral rites, the feedback should not be inferior to using the body of the Ancient Saint King for rituals, would it?
Zhang Jian decided to give it a try.
However, the Central Celestial Realm is strict about Celestial Rules and Celestial Laws, and here, too many Great Powers are present, making it not an ideal place for ancestor rituals.
Zhang Jian decided to choose the location for ancestor rituals on the earth of the Central Celestial Realm.
The earth of the Central Celestial Realm contains many Immortal Cities.
Zhang Jian personally went to investigate.
These Immortal Cities also house mundane people.
However, those mundane people are few; the majority are of the Celestial Race, various strange races, or lesser gods, lower-ranking Immortals.
Although traces of Great Powers exist, the chance of being directly spotted is greatly reduced.
