The Great Qian has no emperor, and the dragon throne sits empty.
Only the Record of Immortal Officials hangs high in the heavens, ruling the people in Heaven’s name and keeping watch over all officials!
Here, cultivation determines rank, and cultivation level is directly tied to official position!
Human officials serve as provincial governors, prefects, and county magistrates. With great cultivation, they govern their domains.
Heavenly officials serve as river and water gods, mountain gods, City Gods, and underworld deities, guarding their respective domains.
Immortal officials oversee the turning of the sun and moon, the stars of the heavens, and reincarnation in the underworld, wielding the authority of Heaven and Earth!
But becoming an immortal official is harder than ascending to Heaven!
The Record of Immortal Officials scrutinizes the whole realm and selects officials by impossibly strict standards.
Anyone who serves as an official must excel in all five fields: [Literature], [War], [Craft], [Agriculture], and [Virtue], without a single flaw!
Xia Yin transmigrated here. Faced with this hellishly difficult test, he quietly opened his [Proficiency Panel].
One achievement, forever achieved. Heaven rewards diligence.
[Agriculture] Twenty-Four Solar Terms: summon clouds and rain, control the seasons, ensure abundant harvests, and cultivate fertile spirit fields!
[Literature] Record of Righteousness: pronounce Heaven’s decrees, crush evil spirits, and calm the realm with a stroke of the brush!
[War] Use thunder arts to destroy evil and swordsmanship to slay enemies. Conquer the world from horseback!
[Craft] The Exploitation of the Works of Nature: master alchemy, talismans, formations, and artifact refining. Forge artifacts and cast grand formations!
[Virtue] Lie on ice to seek carp, earn virtue throughout the world, and move Heaven and Earth!
Years later.
At the boundary marker of the North Sea, wind and snow filled the sky.
Xia Yin stood atop heaps of white bones, clad in purple robes and a golden seal.
Behind him lay the lights of countless homes. Before him stood billions of demons.
Xia Yin drew his sword and murmured, “Once I cut through the demons of the North Sea and flatten their lair... I’ll have earned my full measure of merit, ascend to immortality, and take command of the celestial army. One day, I’ll inherit the title of Great Emperor Zhenwu, the Demon-Quelling Sovereign!”
Spirit stones cannot be traded, so they lack the basic attributes of currency. They belong to strategic resources, but definitely not currency. Gold and silver currencies have too low a value. Therefore, cultivators must have a higher-level currency. High-level cultivators can't still be bartering, can they? Even if they are bartering, there must be a "general equivalent" as a standard of value.
The energy systems of the first and second levels of the Spirit Gathering are out of balance.
First of all, let me clarify that I've cast several monthly tickets, and I quite like this book. This is one of the few times I've posted, but I want to discuss the issue of the ability system here. The text mentions several times: 108,000 cups and saucers → converge into a single "tap stream" It takes 840 million tiny streams to form a sea of qi.
Just like the comments section said, the cultivation system is too erratic. With normal cultivation, a normal person would never reach the third level of the Spirit Gathering stage, even if they cultivated until death.
The exact same problem as the previous book
You still can't fix the data corruption problem. You keep writing so much empty and grandiose data to show how big the world is and how high the combat power is.
The first level of the first realm, the difference between the initial entry and the perfection is so big, how will it be written later? Will the numerical values really not collapse? More than 100,000 lamps become a thin stream, 840 million thin streams become lakes and seas, how will the later realms be accumulated?
Wow, you've subscribed to thousands of points and you've given up on this?!
It was alright before it was released, but after it was released, it became a water god just like the protagonist's grandfather and the new teacher.
They've been gone for days. Even if they were going to cut it off, they should at least say something. I don't know what they're doing...
A minimum of one thousand chapters
It's a good book, but the filler content... Judging by the author's writing style, it's at least a thousand chapters long.
Oh my god, this is so good! I saw it was listed and thought it looked pretty good, so I pre-ordered it with 4000 points. Then they told me it was discontinued after I finished reading it.
