Chapter 40
The Heavenly Emperor's Gift

“Now that you’ve become the Lùcún Star Lord, you should be able to sense the location of the Lùcún Star and the Tiānjí Palace. From now on, the Tiānjí Palace will be your palace.”

After conferring the position, Hàotiān smiled at Lin Xuān, showing no airs of authority. It was obvious that he already considered Lin Xuān his own, and his attitude towards him was different from that of an outsider.

All those who become official Star Lords are important officials of the Heavenly Court, each one indispensable!

Especially since Lin Xuān was a Star Lord with great potential, Hàotiān valued him even more. He was very enthusiastic, and if Lin Xuān could ascend to the rank of Tàiyǐ Golden Immortal, or even Dàluó Golden Immortal in the future, it would be a huge gain for him. He would have another capable assistant!

Just like Tai Bái Jin Xīng, whom he favored and trusted, was only a Tàiyǐ Golden Immortal.

Lin Xuān expressed his gratitude once more. He already knew that every official Star Lord had their own independent palace, located in different parts of the Heavenly Court. Each one was filled with extremely dense spiritual energy, constantly being drawn in by gathering spirit arrays!

And his palace as the Lùcún Star Lord was the Tiānjí Palace, because the Lùcún Star was also known as the Tiānjí Star.

As for the Lùcún Star, he couldn’t go there yet, because the Primal Chaos starscape was too dangerous. No one dared to enter the starscape without reaching the Dàluó Golden Immortal stage!

“By the way, do you have any questions about your cultivation? I happen to have some free time now, and I can give you some guidance.”

Hàotiān said enthusiastically.

“I do have some questions…”

Lin Xuān was overjoyed to hear this, knowing that this was one of the benefits of becoming a Star Lord—receiving guidance. He wouldn’t refuse this opportunity, and quickly began to ask questions.

He had obtained many keywords and cultivation techniques from the system along his journey to Golden Immortal, and his innate aptitude and foundation were also very good, but there would always be some accumulated confusion in his cultivation. If he could resolve those, it would be something he greatly desired.

Besides some questions about his cultivation realm, there were also many divine powers and techniques. He had obtained many keywords related to various types of techniques and divine powers, which he could only use instinctively, and he had difficulty delving deeper into them!

Now, an opportunity to improve and refine them had presented itself.

Lin Xuān didn’t have the energy or time to categorize and study those various types of techniques, but Hàotiān was different. He was a Quasi-Saint, with a broad perspective. From his point of view, these problems were child's play.

After just a brief explanation, Lin Xuān's mind was suddenly clear. His many doubts were resolved, and his understanding and application of those divine powers and techniques reached a whole new level!

Physical combat, spirit-based techniques, fire-type divine powers, water-type techniques, swordsmanship, various techniques that channeled qi blood, Dùnshù, techniques of teleportation...

Soon, the divine powers and techniques he mastered had all gained a significant increase in power. His overall strength had increased by severalfold, and he had a deeper understanding of the Dàpǐn Tiānxiān Jue and the Bùmiè Jīnshēn, the two techniques he had learned!

“You really know a lot of techniques and divine powers, and your comprehension is truly terrifying.”

After guiding him for a while, Hàotiān was amazed and sighed in admiration. He felt that he had underestimated Lin Xuān’s talent!

Although Lin Xuān's understanding of many divine powers and techniques seemed very simplistic, he could learn so many different types of techniques and divine powers while rapidly increasing his cultivation, including some advanced ones. This alone proved that his comprehension was extraordinary!

For other Golden Immortals, it was rare to have such a wide range of skills. Even if they did, they would likely be old fellows who had cultivated for countless years.

However, it was a great thing that Lin Xuān had such terrifying comprehension. Hàotiān naturally wasn’t bothered by this. He was actually very happy.

Seeing Hàotiān's surprised expression, Lin Xuān chuckled, with a humble expression on his face.

Of course his comprehension was so outrageous, thanks to his Keyword Plunder System! He could directly obtain the abilities from other keywords, which was more powerful than any comprehension.

Moreover, as he continued to plunder keywords and improve his innate aptitude and foundation, his comprehension would also continue to improve. His genius was no fake.

“In the future, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come and ask me. But I often have to travel to the starscape, and I don’t have much free time.”

Hàotiān said with a smile. He was willing to guide Lin Xuān, this genius, and hoped that he could grow up faster and become a pillar of the Heavenly Court.

After some thought, he decided that it would be better to give him some more resources as a reward. So he raised his hand and handed Lin Xuān a gourd.

“Here are ten seven-turn golden pills. Take them and refine them.”

“As for your salary, equipment, future missions, and troops under your command, you can go to the Heavenly General Hall to receive them.”

Lin Xuān took the gourd, and upon hearing Hàotiān’s words, his eyes widened. He quickly thanked him, “Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!”

Good heavens, ten seven-turn golden pills! It may not seem like a lot, but the grade of these pills is very high!

A seven-turn golden pill is not much worse than a purple-veined peach. These ten pills combined might be even more valuable than the peaches and seven-turn golden pills he had exchanged before, worth at least tens of millions of battle merit points!

Hàotiān was a Quasi-Saint after all. Even a tiny drop from his finger would be more than the wealth of ordinary Golden Immortals!

And this was only because Lin Xuān was only at the initial stage of Golden Immortal, so he couldn’t bestow too much on him.

In fact, these rewards and guidance combined were already very generous. These were rewards beyond his salary, similar to how he had treated Jùlíng Shén. Even though Hàotiān valued Jùlíng Shén, he hadn’t been as generous as this.

More importantly, there was the promise of future guidance. This was the most valuable thing. Usually, Golden Immortals wouldn’t have the privilege of receiving guidance from a Quasi-Saint?

“If there’s nothing else, you can go back now.”

Hàotiān nodded as he looked at Lin Xuān, who was grinning from ear to ear.

He was very busy, and he had to go to the starscape again later to deal with the chaotic ancient stars.

“This subordinate takes his leave.”

Then, Lin Xuān left the fairy garden and went towards the Heavenly General Hall, feeling very happy.

This visit to the Heavenly Emperor had yielded great rewards, far exceeding his expectations.

First, he had obtained the title of Lùcún Star Lord. He would be able to cultivate by drawing upon the Lùcún Star’s essence in the future, which would strengthen his wealth.

Second, he had been officially incorporated into the Heavenly Court’s system of official gods. This was equivalent to having his name inscribed on the register, which meant he had skipped millions of years of hard work. His future was bright.

Third, Hàotiān had given him guidance, which had already helped him improve significantly. The divine powers and techniques he mastered, as well as the abilities he gained from keywords, all had significantly increased in power. Moreover, if he accumulated a lot of questions, he could ask Hàotiān occasionally.

Fourth, Hàotiān had given him ten seven-turn golden pills. These pills would help him further increase his cultivation, and perhaps even raise his physical realm to another level!

“And it seems like Hàotiān values me quite a bit. Maybe he will give me more rewards in the future.”

“When Jùlíng Shén finds out, he’s going to be green with envy.”

Lin Xuān thought happily to himself.
