Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 110 Gods Watch, City God Pays Homage to General

Mo Linglong would never have smuggled the treasure if she hadn't received Su Ji's guarantee.

If she were discovered, not only would she lose her status as the young lady of the town, but she would also lose face.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, why don't we run now!" The graceful woman, Mo Linglong, held the invisible Seven Aperture Heart Stone in one hand and tugged at Su Ji's clothes with the other.

Their actions were not illegal. Su Ji wanted to keep his wealth hidden and save face as long as he wasn't exposed on the spot. Mo Linglong just wanted to escape the scene as soon as possible.

Su Ji also felt like he had been caught doing something wrong, and even felt a little panicked. It wasn't that he was afraid of being held accountable by the City God Temple, but rather that the exposure of so much wealth would lead to unpredictable consequences.

Fortunately, the online platform Yantianchou immediately provided its analysis: "Even if the City God and other spirit officials discovered our 'smuggling' of the treasure, they wouldn't expose you in public..."

As long as things aren't blown out of proportion, the City God Temple will at least leave people with some dignity, not to mention that Mo Linglong and Su Ji are not of low status.

"Don't panic—" Su Ji first used telepathy to calm Mo Linglong down, then nodded to the City God Spirit Official.

To be honest, the two sides were acquaintances who had met a few times and had a good impression of each other.

As expected, the City God's spirit official stepped forward, his expression solemn, and said, "Day-roaming spirit soldier, the City God invites you!"

Su Ji's heart skipped a beat. The City God was the most powerful and influential person in Jinfeng County. Even though he was ranked first on both lists, it seemed that he didn't need to personally send the City God Spirit Officer to invite him.

Su Ji felt immense pressure and could only tentatively ask, "Could I wait until I have delivered the treasure to my temporary residence, taken a bath, and changed my clothes before I go to see the City God?"

Their temporary residence was naturally the Mo family's villa, and Su Ji trusted Mo Linglong.

The City God Spirit Officer glanced at the treasures, then at the two men's travel-worn appearance, and nodded, saying, "Day-roaming spirit soldiers, please proceed, but don't keep the City God waiting too long!"

Although the City God is not so busy with affairs of state, he still holds a certain status.

Su Ji and Mo Linglong exchanged a glance, both secretly relieved.

Then, Su Ji nodded and smiled at the City God, "Please wait here for a moment, I will be back here in a hundred breaths at most..."

The City God nodded, watched the two leave, and then turned to chat with the day-roaming spirit soldiers guarding the gate.

In less than fifty breaths, the figure of the Day Wandering Spirit Soldier Golden Toad reappeared. This time, he put away his Fire-Washed Spirit Robe, held the [Talisman], and wore the standard armor of the Day Wandering Spirit Soldier.

Under the watchful eyes of many monks, the two went to the City God Temple one after the other.

"The City God specially invited away the Golden Toad, a Taoist seed from the Xuanmen sect. Could it be that the news of the Golden Toad ranking first on two lists and breaking history has alarmed the City God?"

"The Golden Toad is a deity in the local earth god temple, while Mo Linglong is a young lady from Thousand Changes Town. The City God is indeed more likely to summon the former..."

"I heard that a great change has occurred in the Great Sun Spirit Realm. Could it be related to the Golden Toad, the seed of the Xuanmen Dao Sect?"

The monks were buzzing with discussion, but few knew the truth.

Even Su Ji was a little nervous along the way.

The City God is not only the most powerful deity in Jinfeng County, but also the ruler of Wusheng's hometown in the underworld.

Sixty years old is considered a long life for ordinary people, and the average person only lives to their forties, which means that there may be more ghosts in Wusheng's hometown than living people.

If we compare Wusheng's hometown to a small underworld, then the City God is the lord of that small underworld. With such real power, even ordinary wandering immortals would probably not dare to be disrespectful in front of the City God.

Fortunately, Su Ji had just drawn up a beautiful blueprint for the Great Sun Spirit Realm, which gave him more confidence.

If the "smuggling" incident comes to light, he can simply tell the truth. If the City God Temple wants to collect a tax on treasures, he can afford to pay it.

"Day-roaming spirit soldiers, we've arrived at the City God's Palace!" the City God's spirit official announced. Su Ji looked up and saw a magnificent hall in front of him, with deities lined up on both sides, and at the head of the hall was the City God, dressed in armor and wearing a blue cloak.

"Black and White Impermanence Spirit Generals... Left and Right Door Gods Spirit Generals... Night Wanderer Spirit Generals..."

Besides the spirit officials and generals on duty, all the prominent deities of the City God Temple were present here.

Seeing this, Su Ji felt relieved and his steps became much lighter.

Such a grand occasion could only be related to the advancement from the Great Sun Spirit Realm to the Great Sun Immortal Realm. Summoning him here must be to reconfirm the feasibility of the plan.

Under the watchful eyes of the deities, Su Ji strode into the hall, exuding a sense of high spirits.

When ordinary spirit soldiers at the City God Temple see the City God, they must kneel on one knee to pay their respects.

Su Ji, however, was a spirit soldier of the local earth god temple. Although both belonged to the same pantheon under the Yellow Emperor, they were two different pantheons with their own duties, so he simply bowed his head in reverence.
"Greetings, City God!"

Immediately, the gods who had been whispering fell silent, and they all looked at Su Ji openly and honestly.

The City God laughed heartily and said, "No need for formalities! Many deities were discussing you just now, and now the main character has finally arrived!"

As he said this, the City God waved his hand forward, and a scene appeared before all the gods.

The scene shows Earth Serpent Lord and Su Ji, with Mo Linglong, an audience member, nearby.

"This is a small-scale experiment, and also an opportunity that could allow someone to advance from the Great Sun Spirit Realm to the Great Sun Immortal Realm..."

Su Ji's voice came from the screen, carrying a wondrous power that could move people's souls.

Clearly, this is exactly what Tianyi Lingjun recorded. Although it is only a few fragments, it still gives people a sense of being there.

Immediately, many gods were stunned into place, not because they lacked the mental fortitude, but because the events before them were relevant to every single one of them.

Currently, in Yuzhou, only the City God Temple in Dazhen Prefecture has an example of a Spirit Realm successfully advancing to a Level Earth-level Secret Realm.

However, the Great Zhen Prefecture's Earth-level secret realm was formed by gathering the power of the entire Jade Continent and taking more than a hundred years to transform into the Five Elements Immortal Realm...

Once the Five Elements Immortal Realm opens, Ghost Kings, high-ranking cultivators, and even Spirit Lords will be overwhelmed with visitors. It can be said to be the only blessed land in Yuzhou that is open to the public.

If Jinfeng County can foster the birth of a blessed land, it will not only gain greater benefits, strength, and fame, but may even win the emperor's favor.

Putting aside everything else, the Heavenly Court will at least send divine soldiers to garrison here, and every participating deity will receive considerable merit...

For deities, promotions and raises are more important; having achievements makes them more assertive wherever they go.

In an instant, the way all the gods in the City God Temple looked at Su Ji changed. This was no ordinary day-roaming spirit soldier; he was a nobleman from their Jinfeng County!
The City God had anticipated this scene and nodded to the City God Spirit Official.

Then, the City God's Spirit Officer stepped forward and said, "The Golden Toad, the Spirit Soldier of the Day, resolved the calamity of the Death Tornado in the Great Sun Spirit Realm, and persuaded the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord to submit to the City God Temple as its Guardian Spirit Lord..."

The City God's official simply stated some facts, and after all the deities had quieted down, the City God himself spoke:

"Now that the Great Sun Spirit Realm is about to begin its plan to advance to the Great Sun Immortal Realm, it is in need of a Sun-Monitoring Spirit General. I wonder if the Sun-Wandering Spirit Soldier Golden Toad would be willing to take on this position?"

The guardian spirits of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm are responsible for guarding the entrance to Wusheng's hometown, preventing cultivators and ghosts from entering or leaving Wusheng's hometown.

The Sun Guardian of the Great Sun Spirit Realm oversees the entire Great Sun Spirit Realm. The entry and exit of the Earth Yang Serpent Lord must be recorded, and it is impossible for outside cultivators to be allowed into the Great Sun Spirit Realm.
