Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 135 The Mortal Realm, Divine Land

Blah blah blah...

Outside the door, a cold wind and rain were blowing.

After listening to his thirteenth uncle's instructions, Chen Xie became secretly wary.

But he doesn't actually have any business that requires him to go to Donghu. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he's generally safe.

At this moment, he raised his head, intending to say goodbye and leave, but was pulled by his thirteenth uncle.

"Don't rush, something big might happen today. Let's wait and hear it."

……

Under the moonlight.

On the surface of the giant black cloud, wisps of mist flowed, and the magical artifacts embedded in the cloud also flowed along with it, changing their arrangement and combination according to Wu Yun's will.

The original spirit-gathering effect of the grand formation has disappeared, and the flow of spiritual energy on the surface of the black clouds has become disordered.

A dozen or so minks stood guard around the boss, unable to do anything. They would occasionally look up at the boss and then look down at the pool of spiritual energy.

"Aww, waah waah waah waah?"

...The sable was slightly frightened; there was no more spiritual energy left in the spiritual energy pool!
"Waaaaah!"

...The black sable patted its chest, putting its mind at ease!

Firstly, since the boss dared to activate the Spirit Gathering Array, he must have been absolutely certain of success!
Secondly, even if the new spirit-gathering array doesn't work, the old one has already been archived!

With a smug look on his face, Mink Blackie grabbed the phone hanging around his neck and showed it to his brothers.

In the phone's photo album, there were one photo after another of spirit-gathering arrays!
"Awooooo, whimpering..."

...Moreover, given the Sable Immortal's exceptional sense of secrecy, it removed the SIM card from the phone from the very beginning!
This phone, which stores important data, is not connected to the internet!

……

"Is there important news?"

"Which aspect?"

Inside the council hall, Chen Xie asked his thirteenth uncle.

But then he saw his thirteenth uncle looking at him with a smile.

"It's about your hometown, the mortal realm."

"More than a month ago, the celestial realm discovered the mortal realm."

"I heard a few days ago that the high and mighty immortal lords have already set the tone for the mortal realm."

"Listen to it with me today."

As they were talking, a resounding sound came from the wind and rain outside the door, like a great bell, echoing throughout the heavens and the earth!

[The imperial edict from the Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao reads:]

[According to the report from the Three Realms Surveying Office, a newly opened mortal realm has been jointly discussed by the Nine Heavens Responding Origin Palace and the Purple Palace, and approved by the Golden Palace of the Heavens to be placed under the jurisdiction of the mortal realm, established as the tenth state, and named 'Divine State'...]

Upon hearing the imperial decree, Chen Xie was completely dazed, his mind blank, with only the resounding, booming sound remaining.

Every word and phrase of the decree was etched into his mind, and he could never forget it!
Uncle Thirteen, standing nearby, sighed.

"I've long heard that the immortal lords have some disagreements."

Some want to define the mortal realm as a separate category;
Some would define the mortal realm as a single state within the human world;
Some want to define the mortal realm as one country encompassing nine provinces;
Some want to define Fan as a county within the country;
"In the end, it was still decided to be one state..."

……

[...established as the tenth state, and named 'Shenzhou'...]

The City God Temple appeared in the sky above the capital!

It emitted a mysterious yellow light and proclaimed a magnificent sound!
The imperial edict resounded through the night sky, and countless people, whether they stopped to watch on the road or went to their balconies at home, all looked up to gaze at it!

On the surface of the giant black cloud, a dozen or so minks stared wide-eyed from afar.

"Aww aww?"

"Aww, waah?"

What is this thing? Is it related to them?
...If the boss doesn't respond, then it probably means it's okay, right?
……

[...The City God of your prefecture and his subordinate officials should diligently uphold the celestial order and fulfill their divine duties. This year, their primary task is to explore the spiritual veins to connect with the spiritual pivot and record the changes in the fortunes of the mountains and rivers...]

The City God Temple appears in the sky above East Lake!

The resounding voice proclaiming the imperial edict echoed through the night sky and resounded throughout the entire city!
In the Non-Natural Bureau office, Li Mingmei and others listened attentively to the decree with furrowed brows. Huang Xiaozhong already showed displeasure.

"China?"
"On the same level as their Nine Provinces in the mortal realm?"
"Damn it, who do they think they are? We mortals are on the same level as their immortals!"
"These bastards are truly presumptuous!"

……

[...Next, altars and academies were established to select those in the prefecture with the potential for Dao, to cultivate their Daoist seeds and nurture them into immortal beings...]

In the lands of cherry blossoms, the land of ox-river, the land of white eagles, the land of sand... whether it is night or day, at this moment, a dark yellow City God Temple appears in the sky!
The voice proclaiming the imperial decree resounded through the sky and echoed across the land!
It instilled fear in everyone who heard of it!
All personnel must strive diligently; those who neglect their duties or fail to perform their duties will be stripped of their titles and cast into the cycle of reincarnation.

【Respectfully yours】

……

"Has it finally been implemented?"

In his office, Zhang Yutu stood by the window, his hands behind his back, looking at the fading silhouette of the City God Temple in the sky.

His official title was [Lord of the City God of Chixian County, Shenzhou].

The term "Shenzhou" in the official title was originally just a provisional designation by the Taiyin Heavenly Palace. Now it seems that these two words have been recognized by the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace and have become the official terminology of the celestial realm.

"Is the Immortal Realm planning to turn this place into the tenth state of the mortal realm and incorporate us into it?"

……

In the office, Song Xiaowei's celestial official hat appeared uninvited, and a decree emerged from the void, floating in mid-air and reading it to him on its own!
[By imperial decree, Song Xiaowei is appointed as a ninth-rank official in the Divine Continent Spiritual Pivot Distributor Department, with the position of Chief Administrator of the 'Spiritual Energy Transfer Office,' specifically responsible for the transfer of spiritual energy in the newly opened Divine Continent territory...]

Song Xiaowei's eyes widened, and he scrambled down from his office chair, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed to receive the decree!

This means the Celestial Realm is officially appointing him as the "Director of the Spirit Investment Office"!

After the concept of "Shenzhou" was recognized, he was about to accept the formal appointment!

……

Inside the council chamber.

Uncle Thirteen sighed.

"This matter is both a big deal and a small deal."

"Once the words 'Shenzhou' came out of the mouth of Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, many things were set in stone."

"Um...do a good job, haha."

Chen Xie nodded.

Suddenly, he asked.

"Thirteenth Uncle, the human realm originally had nine provinces, and there were many countries within those nine provinces?"

Thirteenth Uncle grabbed Chen Xie's sleeve.

"Interested in the Immortal Realm?"
"I'll take you to see it."

"And let you understand clearly what the significance of China truly lies?"

A cloud of green rose from beneath Uncle Thirteen's feet, carrying the two of them, and they rushed out of the council hall and into the vast wind and rain.

……

"Ugh?"

On the surface of the dark cloud, Wu Yun sat on the sofa, frowning, looking slightly annoyed.

Failed.

The moment the celestial decree descended, the spiritual energy in the world became chaotic. The spirit-gathering array was at a critical juncture in its construction and lost proper feedback, thus completely failing.

A dozen or so minks all looked over.

Mink Blackie held the phone that recorded the previous spirit-gathering array, hesitating whether to show it to the boss.

But the boss shook his head.

"It's okay, if you fail once, you can just try again."

"I'll rebuild it right away."

Wu Yun frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

What he cared about more was that the moment the celestial realm and the Dharma realm descended, he actually felt that the rules governing the flow of spiritual energy in the world had changed!
Although the rules governing the flow of spiritual energy reverted after the decree was read out.

But he still felt a deep sense of terror.
