Lin Xuan listened silently to the Giant Spirit God’s explanation, his brow furrowed in thought.
"By the way, after you ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm, you will also receive an audience with the Heavenly Emperor! You can choose your position from His Majesty then."
The Giant Spirit God suddenly thought of something and spoke with excitement.
"Huh? This..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was startled!
The Heavenly Emperor the Giant Spirit God was talking about was obviously Haotian, also known as the Great Heavenly Zun!
Haotian, as the nominal ruler of the Three Realms, although he seemed weak in the eyes of the various Saint Sects, was still the Heavenly Emperor, a top-tier Great Daoist of the Quasi-Saint Realm, and also the disciple of Daoist Hongjun!
Such an existence would actually summon a Golden Immortal?
"What kind of existence is His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor? And I've heard that the Heavenly Emperor is currently managing the starry sky and is busy all day. Only a very small number of Star Lords like the White Star, can see him. Can we Golden Immortals also be summoned?"
Lin Xuan curiously asked.
"Of course! Any Heavenly Court cultivator who ascends to the Golden Immortal Realm will be summoned once by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, it’s like a formality."
"After all, as you should know, the Heavenly Court is currently lacking talent. Any Golden Immortal is very important. The Heavenly Emperor personally summoning them once as a sign of respect can also prevent Golden Immortal strongmen from leaving..."
The Giant Spirit God said in a firm tone, revealing the hidden meaning, essentially it was just a formality to prevent Golden Immortal cultivators from leaving the Heavenly Court.
In the outside world, the gap between Golden Immortal cultivators and Quasi-Saints was too big, a lifetime might not be enough to see them even once!
"Alright, just meeting him, is there no benefit? The salary should be higher, right?"
Lin Xuan said with a slight disappointment. He had no awe or longing for those high and mighty top-tier Great Daoists, the only thing he cared about was whether he could get enough benefits.
Being summoned by a Quasi-Saint would not improve his cultivation or foundation, unless it was a Quasi-Saint about to fall, and could explode with a bunch of attributes, then he would be happy to meet them.
"Benefits? Of course, there are benefits, your salary and equipment will be upgraded, this doesn’t need to be mentioned. The key is, you can choose a True God or Star Lord position in the Heavenly Court!"
"You know, this is a position bestowed only when the Heavenly Court is short-handed and talent is in short supply."
"Later when the Heavenly Court’s strength grows, you just want to be a True God or Star Lord after ascending to the Golden Immortal Realm? There’s no chance, at most, you can only be a Deputy God!"
The Giant Spirit God quickly said, he was clearly very fond of the so-called True God and Star Lord positions. In his opinion, Golden Immortals were probably not qualified to be True Gods, only because there was a shortage of people now that they would be bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor to Golden Immortals.
The Heavenly Court had the largest number of immortal officials who were only Deputy Gods of various levels, even Deputy Gods were inferior to minor gods!
"Being a Star Lord position? Sounds pretty good?"
Seeing the Giant Spirit God’s expression, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ask.
"Nonsense, the True God and Star Lord positions are the true mainline of the Heavenly Court, you will rise and fall with the Heavenly Court, enjoy the blessing of luck, and the resources you can get are far richer than ordinary immortal officials!"
"You need to know that there are a limited number of True God positions in the Heavenly Court, after all, there are only so many stars in the celestial sphere, only three hundred and sixty-five in total. Once the Star Lords are all filled, there will be no more, one for each position!"
"For example, I hold the Giant Gate Star Lord position, which is also the Heavenly Xuan Star Lord, one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper. Most Golden Immortals don’t have a higher status than me, you ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm so quickly, and before that, you had the record of killing a Golden Immortal while crossing realms, you will definitely be favored by the Heavenly Emperor, you will probably also be able to hold a top-ranked True God and Star Lord position!"
The Giant Spirit God proudly said.
Lin Xuan listened silently, and roughly understood that the True God and Star Lord positions were limited. During the period of the ancient Yaozu Heavenly Court, it would have been the privilege of a Great Golden Immortal to hold such positions!
Now the Heavenly Court’s strength is far inferior to that of the ancient Yaozu, they could only let many Golden Immortals take up the True God and Star Lord positions, they are all considered original shares, they can eat the original dividends, and once they take up the positions, they have many benefits.
After becoming a Star Lord, it’s basically the same as being on the Conferred God List, moreover, it’s the physical body being on the list, unlike the Conferred God List where it’s the primordial spirit being on the list, it’s not controlled by others, it’s only a lot of benefits!
Of course, it’s also considered being bound to the Heavenly Court. Many Great Daoists may not be willing to accept this title, but for cultivators like the Giant Spirit God and Lin Xuan who have no background or support, it is a good thing!
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, after you become a Star Lord, besides getting a lot of cultivation resources, there’s another benefit, which is that you can get personal guidance from His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."
The Giant Spirit God cheerfully said again, tirelessly promoting the benefits of being a True God and Star Lord, hoping that Lin Xuan would also choose to be a Star Lord.
"Alright, if I have the choice, I will definitely choose to be a True God and Star Lord."
"However, I don’t know what the specific duties are after becoming a Star Lord?"
Hearing the benefits the Giant Spirit God mentioned, Lin Xuan was clearly also tempted. For him, becoming a Star Lord was indeed the best choice.
"You are a Heaven General, you are good at killing and fighting among cultivators of the same level, and you also have the record of killing a Golden Immortal while crossing realms, your combat power is strong, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you should, like me, continue to be a Heaven General, lead Xuanxian Heaven Generals and countless Heavenly Soldiers to carry out the grand expedition that happens once every ten thousand years."
"Golden Immortal Realm Heaven Generals can also be True God and Star Lords."
The Giant Spirit God said, using people to their full potential, putting people in the right place. Golden Immortals like them who were good at fighting, obviously it was better to continue leading troops to fight, they could exert their maximum effect.
Lin Xuan nodded, after inquiring from the Giant Spirit God, he stepped into the Heaven General Hall, found the presiding immortal official, and released his Golden Immortal Realm aura. The official immediately reported the news upwards.
Soon, news of Haotian’s summoning came.
Just like that, he followed the escorting immortal official and went to where the Heavenly Emperor was, perhaps because Haotian was always very busy, he wasn’t in the Lingxiao Palace, but in a fairy garden deep in the Heavenly Court.
He entered alone, before he could look around, he saw a figure standing in front of him with their back to him. They were wearing an imperial robe and a crown, standing with their hands behind their back.
"Your subordinate Lin Xuan, pays respects to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
Lin Xuan’s heart trembled, knowing that this was Haotian. He immediately bowed and paid his respects.
Although this Heavenly Emperor did not release any obvious aura, the place where he stood, the universe seemed to be suppressed by him, his very presence carried an incredible majesty. In front of him, Lin Xuan only felt like a mortal looking up at the sky, his Golden Immortal cultivation seemed insignificant!
Haotian slowly turned around, with a majestic presence, his body contained an unknown amount of terrifying power, his eyes seemed to contain two starry skies, even a Great Golden Immortal might not dare to look directly at the Heavenly Emperor!
