Chapter 800: 404, Sun Traveling God, Road of Priesthood (Seeking Subscription)_2
"I am the same as you, Sir."
"Qingyue Mountain God."
Xu Xing thought for a while and directly stated the divine official name of the Qingyue Mountain God.
The Heavenly Dao is orderly.
The Lingxiao Immortal Court was founded by a group of Immortals who served as Divine Officials. Since these Immortals had gained recognition from the Heavenly Dao and become Divine Officials, they would not easily go against the will of the Heavenly Dao… nor become hostile towards him, who was also a Divine Official…
Furthermore, Xu Xing could hardly think of any other reason to join the Lingxiao Immortal Court. He couldn't possibly spend a long time gaining the trust of the high-level members of the Lingxiao Immortal Court step by step, and then join them.
At this time, this body was merely his 'body of another self'; taking some risks was no big deal…
"Qingyue Mountain God? You actually know my divine name?" Upon hearing this, the Qingyue Mountain God was first shocked, but as Xu Xing spoke the second part of his sentence, he was immediately relieved.
It is not difficult for high-Rank Divine Officials to recognize the divine names of lower-Rank Divine Officials.
In the Lingxiao Immortal Court, there were at least a hundred Divine Officials who could recognize his divine name at a glance.
"Daoist friend Ding, you must have been recommended by the Divine Officials of the Lingxiao Immortal Court after you accidentally became a Divine Official in the outer world... That's why you came to the Qingli World to join the Lingxiao Immortal Court, isn't it…" the Qingyue Mountain God said with a carefree smile.
Although there were not many Immortals like Elder Xu Xing who joined the Lingxiao Immortal Court halfway, there were indeed some. It's just that these cases were extremely rare when spread across endless years, almost invisible.
Of course, the Qingyue Mountain God was not so crude as to easily believe another's words.
It was because Xu Xing was a Divine Official like him… People with Rank could generally be trusted…
On this point, the Heavenly Dao provided a guarantee.
Xu Xing hadn't expected the Qingyue Mountain God to have already fabricated a reason for him to join the Lingxiao Immortal Court. He nodded slightly, bowed to the Qingyue Mountain God, and said, "Please, Daoist friend, lead me to the Lingxiao Immortal Court…"
"Naturally."
The Qingyue Mountain God nodded in agreement. He formed a hand seal, and his body, a hundred feet tall, immediately shrank to be the same size as Xu Xing.
However, compared to Xu Xing, the youth in a green robe, he still looked extremely burly and was considerably larger than Xu Xing.
"Please, Daoist friend Ding, follow me."
The Qingyue Mountain God manifested a jade decree Artifact. This jade decree instantly grew with the wind, transforming to several feet in size, and floated in the air.
The Qingyue Mountain God instantly stepped onto the jade decree Artifact and then called out to Xu Xing, who was to the side.
Seeing this, Xu Xing also shifted his body and stood on the jade decree Artifact, landing behind the Qingyue Mountain God.
「Shaoqing.」
The jade decree floated and flew up into the sky.
Xu Xing observed that the Qingyue Mountain God's path to the Lingxiao Immortal Court seemed to conceal mysteries. Though the route appeared straightforward, they had actually traversed several spatial dimensions in a short period.
「After flying for about half a day.」
The jade decree Artifact flew into a bank of auspicious clouds.
「A moment later.」
A Palace, suffused with misty Immortal Qi, paved with jade, and with columns of gold and wood, appeared before Xu Xing.
Inside the Palace, nearly a hundred wooden statues stood. Each statue was several feet tall, lifelike, and resembled a True Man.
On the dais at the head of the hall, three statues were particularly eye-catching.
These three statues depicted two men and one woman.
The female statue had a face as beautiful as flowers under the moon, wore a light blue, wide-sleeved immortal dress, and had a moon-white shawl floating behind her in mid-air.
Behind her head was a bright moon, shining brilliantly.
Of the other two male statues, the one on the left had a Python coiled around his waist and carried two long knives on his back. The one on the right held a pagoda in his palm and had a celestial eye between his eyebrows, which was strikingly awe-inspiring.
When the Qingyue Mountain God and Xu Xing walked into this Palace, some of the wooden statues In the Hall suddenly "revived," transforming into the appearance of True Men. They curiously sized up Xu Xing, who followed behind the Qingyue Mountain God.
"Lady Silver Moon."
The Qingyue Mountain God stopped and bowed deeply to the female statue on the altar.
"Is it you who wishes to join my Lingxiao Immortal Court?" The female statue slowly revived. Her eyes glanced at Xu Xing, who was standing In the Hall, as she asked softly.
Her voice was like the gentle chime of jade pendants, crisp and melodious.
"Indeed."
Xu Xing nodded.
"The Rank of Fortune Virtue Immortal is considered a first-class Heaven Immortal Rank… The Lingxiao Immortal Court welcomes your joining…" Lady Silver Moon revealed a faint smile. With a wave of her Sleeve robe, a wooden statue appeared in the second column on the right side In the Hall, bearing some resemblance to Xu Xing.
"Separate a strand of your Divine Soul here, and henceforth, you can converse with us in this hall without your True Body needing to be present," she said.
Xu Xing, seeing this, acted cautiously. He had his Zi Ying eject a strand of Divine Soul and let it inhabit the wooden statue given by Lady Silver Moon.
As soon as it entered, Xu Xing suddenly felt as if he had gained an avatar connected to his own flesh and blood; it was truly wondrous.
He suppressed the surprise in his heart and waited for Lady Silver Moon to continue.
"The Fortune Virtue Immortal is merely a Rank, a reserve Divine Official. To cultivate the Road of Priesthood like us, you need to refine a god seal and take charge of a portion of the powers of heaven and earth…"
Lady Silver Moon paused here, then continued, "Now, within the Qingli World, only the divine positions of Danjiang Water God, Yunmeng Mountain God, and Sun Traveling God remain unclaimed…"
"You may choose one."
Three divine positions? Hearing this, Xu Xing secretly frowned, unsure which divine position would be best to choose.
Just moments ago, when he refined the wooden statue, some information about the Road of Priesthood had also been transmitted into his mind.
The Road of Priesthood involves borrowing the authority of heaven and earth to practice Cultivation and advance one's Cultivation base.
The more authority of heaven and earth one controlled, the greater the benefit to one's Cultivation.
Apart from the Divine Officials of some famous mountains and great rivers, the other mountain gods and water gods are minor deities with limited prospects.
To take charge of more of the authority of heaven and earth as a mountain or water god, one cannot bypass the other mountain and water gods obstructing the path.
As for the Sun Traveling God…
Xu Xing pondered for a moment, his thoughts turning to his Golden Crow Body, which was a perfect match in terms of attributes.
It seems no one has yet taken the position of Sun God in the Lingxiao Immortal Court…
Although the Sun Traveling God is a minor deity, as long as one's Cultivation is sufficiently formidable, a Sun Traveling God can also transform into the Sun God!
Xu Xing thought to himself.
He could tell that this female Immortal called "Lady Silver Moon" likely held the position of Moon God in the Qingli World, which was why she ranked as one of its three great venerated deities.
As for the other two male Immortals on the dais, although they had not revealed their divine positions, judging by their statues, they did not seem to have any conflict of divine authority with the position of Sun God…
"I am willing to become the Sun Traveling God."
Xu Xing cupped his hands and replied.
The Road of Priesthood is only a supplementary path of cultivation for him. Even if he fails in the Lingxiao Immortal World and does not become the Sun God,
he still has his True Body. He can achieve it in other Immortal Worlds.
"Sun Traveling God?" Lady Silver Moon nodded her Qiufu slightly. She raised her fair hand, and a gleaming gold god seal appeared in her palm.
Then, she utilized her Magic Power to send the god seal of the Sun Traveling God before Xu Xing.
"Refine this god seal, and you will become the Sun Traveling God of the Qingli World…"
"The Qingli World has been transformed by the Lingxiao Immortal Court, allowing us to control various authorities of heaven and earth within it. However, in the outside world… the power of this divine position will be greatly diminished. You must remember this…" Lady Silver Moon said slowly.
Hearing this, Xu Xing immediately felt relieved. No wonder the Lingxiao Immortal Court did not avenge the deaths of the two Lingxiao Immortal Court Freelance Immortals who had gone to the Yaoyue Immortal Kingdom. There was no other reason. Once the Immortals of the Lingxiao Immortal Court leave the Qingli World, their strength is greatly diminished. Naturally, they would be unwilling to face the Twelve Families of Yaoyue in their weakened state. Moreover, the Twelve Families of Yaoyue also have two True Immortals among them, making them an existence the Lingxiao Immortal Court cannot easily provoke.
"The Fortune Virtue Immortal Status is a first-class Heaven Immortal Rank, holding a promising future. I hope you can make progress and stand alongside me."
After glancing at Xu Xing, Lady Silver Moon smiled and offered encouragement.
It is uncommon for an Immortal to join the Lingxiao Immortal Court and immediately possess the Fortune Virtue Immortal Status. Xu Xing was only the second such person she had encountered in several million years.
The other was the male cultivator beside her, the one holding the Treasure Pagoda. He too was once merely a minor god, but after hundreds of thousands of years, he had grown into a top-tier Divine Official, only slightly inferior to her, and ruled the Lingxiao Immortal Court alongside her.
