Sensing the invisible majesty emanating from Haotian, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel a jolt of shock. This was the first time he’d ever encountered a figure at the level of a Quasi-Saint. Such powerful beings were truly terrifying, surpassing anything he could have imagined.
Even without deliberately releasing their aura, they could make anyone feel utterly insignificant!
“Lin Xuan, I’ve learned about your experiences. They’re quite impressive,”
Haotian turned to face Lin Xuan, his gaze landing on the young man’s face. He spoke in a calm, dignified voice, his expression impassive.
For someone of his stature to personally summon a Golden Immortal was already a great favor, a situation only possible due to the Heavenly Court’s shortage of powerful individuals.
Nevertheless, he offered a slight compliment to Lin Xuan, a privilege most other Golden Immortals did not receive!
Because he had checked Lin Xuan’s records and discovered that this individual’s cultivation had progressed quite rapidly. Furthermore, his combat strength was formidable, and he often took on missions to eliminate demons, earning the title of “Demon Slayer Heavenly General.” His battle achievements were illustrious, and he had even slain a Great Demon who had just entered the Golden Immortal realm while still at the peak of the Xuanxian realm – a rare feat.
Moreover, with his own cultivation level, he could tell at a glance that Lin Xuan’s ascent to Golden Immortal had not only involved his Divine Soul, but his physical body had also reached Golden Immortal level, and his progress was quite swift. This indicated a powerful foundation and exceptional aptitude. Among all the Golden Immortal officials, his talent was undoubtedly among the very best, exceeding even that of the Giant Spirit God!
Such potential virtually guaranteed his future advancement to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and even achieving the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal was not impossible. He was a truly exceptional talent!
If Lin Xuan were willing to fully dedicate himself to the Heavenly Court, taking on the role of a true god, and remaining completely loyal, then things would be perfect. Haotian would gladly provide ample guidance and cultivate him with every effort!
“If you are willing, you can directly assume the position of a True God Star Monarch. If not, you can be a regular celestial official. Of course, you can continue to serve as a Heavenly General,”
Haotian continued, giving the choice to Lin Xuan.
While he desired to retain as much talent as possible, there was no reason to force anyone. If someone had no intention of staying in the Heavenly Court, forcing them wouldn’t work. It wasn’t possible to rigidly restrict every celestial official.
Furthermore, though Golden Immortals were the pillars of the Heavenly Court, a few individual ones didn’t warrant the attention of the Heavenly Emperor himself.
“This humble one has been adrift for so long. Thank you for the Heavenly Emperor’s recognition. I wish to become a Star Monarch and better serve the Heavenly Court!”
Lin Xuan had already planned this beforehand, and he immediately expressed his gratitude.
“Excellent! Let’s see, your friend the Giant Spirit God is the Jumeng Star Monarch of the Tiansuan Palace. Of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, he’s the only one currently stationed there. You can choose one of the remaining Big Dipper positions.”
Seeing that Lin Xuan didn’t even hesitate, so decisively choosing to become a True God Star Monarch, Haotian felt a surge of joy. His expression softened considerably as he spoke warmly.
If someone declined to become a Star Monarch, opting instead for the ordinary treatment of a regular celestial official, that would signify their unwillingness to bind themselves to the Heavenly Court, and they might very well leave to join another organization in the future. Such individuals would naturally not receive his attention. But if they willingly became a True God Star Monarch, then they could be considered one of their own!
As he spoke, Haotian raised his hand and waved it. A starry sky materialized before them, revealing seven ancient stars with terrifying aura. They revolved around each other, interconnected in a unique configuration, forming the shape of a dipper – a projection of the Big Dipper!
These seven stars held significant positions among the celestial stars of the heavens. Each star’s projection contained the projection of a star palace.
The Tianshu Palace, the Tanlang Star. The Tiansuan Palace, the Jumeng Star. The Tianji Palace, the Lu Cun Star. The Tianquan Palace, the Wenqu Star. The Yuheng Palace, the Lianzheng Star. The Kaiyang Palace, the Wuqu Star. The Yaoguang Palace, the Pojun Star!
On top of the Jumeng Star, a giant figure resided, its aura connected to the star. This was the Jumeng Star Monarch, the Giant Spirit God, while the other six stars remained vacant.
Haotian held high hopes for Lin Xuan’s talent, but as a mere Golden Immortal, he couldn’t offer excessive rewards. Therefore, he directly offered a position among the seven stars of the Big Dipper. This was among the top 365 celestial stars of the heavens, a very prestigious offer.
Observing the Big Dipper before him, each star radiating its own distinct stellar brilliance, Lin Xuan quietly absorbed their energy, analyzing them with his Divine Soul. He came to understand the various properties of each of these celestial stars. Each main star represented a different law, wielding unique abilities.
The Jumeng Star, for instance, could significantly enhance the destructive power of a cultivator’s physical strength. By cultivating with the power of the Jumeng Star’s essence, one could accelerate their physical power growth, which was why the Giant Spirit God had chosen to become the Jumeng Star Monarch.
The other six stars possessed their own unique powers, essentially granting their Star Monarchs an additional formidable talent!
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment. He found them all quite tempting, but ultimately chose a star unrelated to combat ability: the Lu Cun Star!
The Lu Cun Star represented the power of fortune, wealth, and longevity within the concept of “wealth, prosperity, and longevity.” It essentially meant good fortune.
“The Lu Cun Star represents the star of wealth. Becoming the Lu Cun Star Monarch will enhance my own fortune, ensuring that I will never lack resources.”
He silently reasoned in his heart, making his choice based on his own circumstances.
After all, he possessed the system that could plunder attribute abilities. He wasn’t lacking in combat prowess, but to steadily advance his cultivation, he needed to pursue the path of cultivating both physical and spiritual bodies, which required an increasing amount of resources!
Therefore, in the long run, choosing the wealth star, the Lu Cun Star, would offer him the greatest benefits, even surpassing some of the more prestigious celestial stars!
“The Lu Cun Star? Very well,”
Seeing Lin Xuan’s choice, Haotian immediately commenced the investiture ceremony, “I hereby appoint Lin Xuan as the Lu Cun Star Monarch of the Tianji Palace!”
The Heavenly Emperor’s words carried the weight of destiny, and with the issuance of the decree, Lin Xuan immediately felt a unique power bestowed upon him, akin to a natural talent.
At the same time, he sensed a vast and ancient celestial star, shining in the boundless cosmos, its energy linked to his own. He could even project his consciousness through his Star Monarch’s power, transcending space and time to arrive at this star, drawing forth waves of stellar essence to accelerate his cultivation. After absorbing it, his fortune would naturally increase!
He knew this was the Lu Cun Star, one of the Big Dipper’s seven stars.
“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!”
Lin Xuan felt a surge of excitement. This position as the Lu Cun Star Monarch offered immense benefits. And in this moment, he also gained a golden attribute.
……………………
【Lu Cun Star Monarch (Gold): As one of the True Gods of the celestial constellations, you can draw upon the Lu Cun Star’s essence, continually enhancing your fortune. You possess the authority over fortune!】
……………………
Feeling the vastness of the Lu Cun Star, brimming with endless stellar power, Lin Xuan was very satisfied. As he cultivated by continuously absorbing the essence of the Lu Cun Star, his fortune would soar, and in the future, even finding treasures while simply walking was a possibility!
