Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Finally, no surprise appeared!

Translator: 549690339

The sudden voice startled him somewhat.

“It was not long ago that I had just broken through, and now only ten days have passed, yet I am breaking through again?” Xuanqing’s eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.

However.

Upon further thought, it seemed that Guanyin had plotted against him, turning some of the temples into cave heavens and blessed lands. Under such circumstances, it was only reasonable for his cultivation to progress faster.

Nothing was more important to Xuanqing than the improvement of his cultivation.

Moreover.

Xuanqing had a feeling that this breakthrough might take some time.

Therefore.

He first hung a sign reading ‘In Closed-door Cultivation, do not disturb’ on his room door.

Then he informed Huai Qingyun to watch over the Taoist temple and to not let anyone pass through the main hall into the inner courtyard.

Having done all of this, Xuanqing sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, he started,

“Enter the game!”

Journey to the West World.

Five Thunder Court Left Judge Temple.

In the Main Hall.

Xuanqing opened his eyes.

“Huh?”

He found that the spiritual qi formed by the innate energy in the temple had dissipated, and the level of spiritual qi had returned to its original state.

“Well, it’s been more than a hundred days in the Journey to the West World, although it’s only been more than ten days in the Real World, so it’s normal for the spiritual qi to dissipate.”

Xuanqing sighed.

It seemed that it would not be so easy to improve his cultivation quickly in the future, after all, there won’t always be Guanyin sisters that give him treasures like the Bodhisattva.

Just as he was deep in thought,

“Sir!” A voice pulled Xuanqing’s mind back.

Seeing the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She, who had sensed their master’s breakthrough, they hurried over, their eyes fixed on him.

Xuanqing then remembered.

Last time, after Guanyin interrupted them while he was giving two demons Receiving Scriptures, he had promised to give the demons Receiving Scriptures again after coming out of his closed-door meditation. However, half a year had passed since then.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

“Ahem, Black Bear and White Snake, both of you go prepare the items. I will give you the Receiving Scriptures today!” Xuanqing cleared his throat, pretending as if nothing had happened.

“Alright, thank you, Sir. We’ve been ready for a long time.”

The Black Bear Essence excitedly pointed to the ritual altar nearby.

Upon looking,

All kinds of tools were neatly arranged on the altar. Clearly, they had been prepared in advance, waiting for Xuanqing to perform the Receiving Scriptures ritual.

Xuanqing nodded slightly.

Then,

He stepped up to the altar, and as he did last time, instructed the two demons, “Black Bear, hold the hammer and strike, White Snake, hold the talisman and pass the vessels!”

“We obey your orders, Sir!” The two demons were excited, acting swiftly and skillfully. Judging from their swift moves, they might have practiced many times in private.

Bang-

The Black Bear Essence struck the Law Hammer hard, producing a dull sound.

On the side, Gentleman Bai She quickly handed over the cotton cloth for writing the decree.

“I, Xuanqing, hereby write to the East Emperor with this paper. Black Bear, White Snake, you are admitted to Taiji Palace, Five Thunder Court, and serve as the Left Judge under the command of Xuanqing, the Thunder Lord…”

Xuanqing’s pen danced on the cotton cloth like a dragon as he wrote the decree.

This time,

There were no more accidents.

The process went smoothly, with the decree being burned on a candlestick, gradually rising into the sky, and successfully completing the Receiving Scriptures ceremony.

After the ceremony was completed,

TWo invisible beams of light descended from the sky and entered the bodies of the Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She.

The two demons trembled.

They knew that they now had the title of ‘Quasi Secondary Ninth Rank’ from the Heavenly Court, and by following Sir, they might be able to be promoted to the Standard Ninth Grade, or even higher Immortal Official positions.

“From now on, you will serve under my command, taking the role of Taoist boys in the Five Thunder Court’s Judge Temple and managing temple affairs, as well as entertaining incense guests!”

Xuanqing said indifferently.

Hearing this,

the two demons immediately knelt down and knocked their heads three times, shouting in unison, “Thank you, Sir! We will surely serve Sir faithfully.”

No wonder the two demons were so excited.

It should be known that although they were now only Taoist boys and held the rank of Quasi Secondary Ninth Rank, even the Mountain Gods and Earth Gods would treat them with great courtesy.

Of course,

even without this status, the Mountain Gods and Earth Gods would still not dare to provoke them. But now, with this identity alone, they could achieve this level of respect.

With this ‘Taoist boy’ status, they no longer had to worry about being skinned and tortured by those self-righteous cultivators to extract their Devil Cores.

Apart from this,

they could also enjoy the blessing of luck brought by the Heavenly Court’s external Daoist registers, which would give them priority in cultivation and overcoming tribulations in the future.

Of course,

these were all side notes.

On Xuanqing’s end,

after completing the process of conferring the two demons, he prepared to break through his current cultivation realm, so that he could continue with his Hang-up Cultivation.

“Tonight, I will break through to the period of refining qi into divine soul.

Black Bear and White Snake, you will guard me during my practice!” Xuanqing commanded.

“Yes, Sir!”

The two demons immediately shouted loudly, their eyes filled with determination.

At a time like this, if someone came to disturb Xuanqing’s cultivation, the two demons would definitely do their best to stop them, even if it meant risking their lives, as long as their souls didn’t immediately disperse.

Refining Qi into God.

The cultivation at this realm, as mentioned before, mainly focuses on the strengthening of the divine soul.

Being able to leave the physical body is the Early Stage of Turning Qi into God.

When the divine soul can resist the erosion of moonlight and reach the realm of Spirit Night Travel, it is considered the Period of Refining Qi into Divine Soul.

Therefore,

if you want to break through your cultivation,

you must choose the evening during the day, otherwise your divine soul, just as it leaves the physical body, might be burned away by the blazing sun.

Time passed, and it was now night.

Moonlight penetrated the temple windows, illuminating the long shadow of the Left Judge Divine Statue on the altar in the main hall.

In the center of the main hall,

Xuanqing sat cross-legged on a cushion.

With a thought,

he took out a Serenity Jade Talisman and a Soul-calming Jade Talisman from his Game Backpack and infused them with mana to activate their effects.

“Begin cultivation!”

Hum, hum-

There were ripples in the air, as if a stone had been dropped into calm water, causing tiny ripples to spread.

An invisible figure slowly floated out of Xuanqing’s body.

At this moment,

his soul power had reached the limit that the refining Qi into God realm could withstand.

To further increase his soul power, he had to break through to the Spirit Night Travel realm, which is the Period of Refining Qi into Divine Soul.

“Activate One Hour Unparalleled Intelligence!”

In the divine soul state,

Xuanqing muttered silently in his heart.

[beep- Ingot – 3600]

As his ingot count decreased, his soul consciousness instantly became incredibly clear, and his enlightenment greatly enhanced..
