The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 230 Weighing the Great Dao, Calculating the Stars, Gathering Qi to Weave Clouds (Wishing everyone a Happy Lantern Festival)

"Immortal Elder wants me to go to the Nine Netherworld with...that guy?" Five Organs Immortal Lord looked at the toad Koko who came to deliver the message in surprise.

Koko nodded gently: "You can also be exempt from this matter."

After hesitating for a moment, the Five Visceral Immortals made up his mind.

The immortal elder had something to attend to, and they declined; they may face difficulties later.

"We must obey the orders of the Immortal Elder," the Five Organs Immortal Lord replied, bowing respectfully.

"Don't make things difficult for yourself. If you don't want to, just say so. Elder Immortal doesn't want to force others to do things," Toad Knock said leisurely.

The Five Viscera Immortal Lord said solemnly, "It's not difficult at all."

"Hmm." The look in Koko's bright eyes had become much kinder.

"I still need to talk to Qing about this," Koko said again.

"Keep this decree from the Immortal Elder for now."

A jade slip flew into the hand of the Five Internal Organs Immortal Lord.

"I will certainly carry out the Immortal Elder's decree and live up to the Immortal Elder's trust."

Knock Knock nodded, showing his approval of the Five Visceral Immortals' attitude.

Then, Koukou vanished without a trace, a divine power created by the Immortal Elder for the celestial beings of the Immortal Realm to allow them to leap through space.

They had just ascended to heaven, yet they did not have such good fortune. Of course, ordinary celestial beings did not have it either; only those celestial beings who had cultivated to the level of Celestial Immortals possessed this right.

As for those who have just ascended, they need to accumulate seniority, just like his current job, which involves weighing the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm.

It sounds like a cushy job, where you can earn some kickbacks and comprehend the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, but this is definitely not a good thing.

Because the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm is too "exposed," and the Great Dao cultivated by the Celestial Immortals is not as perfect as the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, perhaps not even one ten-thousandth of it, under such circumstances, they have to directly face the "exposed" Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, and devote themselves to it, carefully adjusting it. During this period, they are very likely to be eroded by the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm, and eventually be transformed by the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm.

As for comprehending the Great Dao from it, that is also difficult, mainly because it is too exposed. Generally, cultivators proceed step by step, first comprehending the laws of nature, then summarizing the laws, and finally using their primordial spirit to manipulate immortal energy to cultivate the Great Dao.

He is now facing the main road directly, which is like a primary school student facing advanced mathematics; he can't even understand a single character in it.

But he had no other choice. He had originally planned to cultivate diligently in the Immortal Realm, but he later learned that the spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm was also finite. It wasn't that the amount of spiritual energy was limited and had been depleted, but rather that all the spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm was under the control of the Immortal Elders...

Therefore, if one wants to cultivate, one must receive a stipend from the celestial realm. Only from this stipend can one obtain a fixed amount of spiritual energy each day, which is then used for cultivation.

Of course, if one has no desire to cultivate or make progress, the immortal realm will not interfere much, since celestial beings have long lifespans and are free from disasters and difficulties.

If those who ascend to immortality could also have such a cheerful mood, they would not be bound by the constraints of the celestial realm and palaces, and could live freely in the celestial realm.

But how can an ascendant be without ambition?

So the Five Visceral Immortals took on this job and got a position without rank or official position, which was actually just a long-term worker.

However, he was working for the Immortal Elder, not for those greedy merchants, so there was no shame in it.

The Barbarian Lord also took on a job, which was to calculate the stars. Of course, it was a side job, not to actually calculate the stars. That was a job that only a Celestial Immortal who had reached the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm could do.

I've heard that there's a mystical immortal presiding over the "Hall of Heavenly Observation".

But the Barbarian Lord has not yet been seen.

As for Qing, she went to do the work of gathering qi and weaving clouds.

This job is not easy and requires a lot of mental effort.

Those who do this work are usually the Heavenly Dragon Clan among the Celestials. Heavenly Dragons are a type of dragon god. They are born as True Immortals and can become Celestial Immortals when they grow up. If they cultivate properly, they can easily become Mysterious Immortals. It is said that there are more than ten Mysterious Immortal Dragon Lords in the Heavenly Dragon Clan of the Immortal Realm.

There are even legends that before the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Heavenly Dragon Clan of the Immortal Realm had a Golden Immortal Dragon Ancestor...

The veracity of this rumor is debatable, but it can be inferred from it that the immortal elder's realm was very likely that of a Golden Immortal Ancestor.

However, he couldn't explain much about this matter and could only speculate. After all, during his three years in the Immortal Realm, he gradually felt the power of the Immortal Elder. He controlled all the spiritual energy of the Immortal Realm, and all eighty-one domains of the Nine Heavens belonged to him. Legend has it that the Celestials were created by him.

There are even legends that all living beings on earth were created by the immortals.

He couldn't determine the veracity of such rumors and could only speculate—perhaps they were true.

But regardless of whether it's true or false, the Immortal Elder's power far surpasses everything in the world, and is incomparable to ordinary people.

They remained obedient and followed the immortal's orders.

However, one can take the Immortal Elder as a role model and strive to catch up with him.

Otherwise, one might lose reverence for spiritual practice.

In particular, the current hierarchy and positions within the Immortal Realm have fueled their ambition to climb the ranks.

The Celestial Palace divides celestial officials into nine ranks, with the highest rank being the first rank, which currently has only three members.

Once you reach the first rank, you can sit and guard a region of the Nine Heavens. And now the Immortal Realm has nine layers of clouds, which means there are still five positions for the first rank.

This has given many people pause for thought.

However, to rule over a region of the heavens and become a high-ranking official, one needs not only seniority but also cultivation.

The cultivation level must be at least that of a Xuanxian (玄仙).

It is only because the Immortal Realm has recently undergone a demonic calamity that Xuanxian could not have become a first-rank official, let alone dream of ruling over a region.

The ascendants were all quite talented, after all, they were all former "protagonists" in the human world, leaders of their respective forces, and could be said to be figures whose word was law.

However, there are too many talented people in the celestial realm. These celestial beings are all quite gifted, and there are many celestial immortals among them. Their fighting skills are no less than theirs, after all, many celestial immortals have undergone demonic tribulations.

"But this time, receiving the Immortal Elder's decree... there are many suspicious points." The Five Organs Immortal Lord couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

The Nine Netherworlds are not a benevolent place, much like the Heavenly Demon Realm, which has caused a lot of trouble for the human world in the past.

After all, there are ghosts and evil spirits in the Nine Netherworlds. They were once human beings, but they lost many memories after death. Moreover, due to the yin and evil energy in the Nine Netherworlds, they hate human beings extremely. So when a rift develops between the Nine Netherworlds and the human world, these ghosts from the Nine Netherworlds flood into the human world and will often plunder the life force of living beings without caring about past feelings.

They might even specifically seek out former relatives and friends.

It's as if they're saying, "If I'm having a hard time, you'll have to suffer too."

Back then, they spent a great deal of effort and sacrificed many lives to suppress the Nine Nether Rift. They even used blood sacrifices on living beings. Humans would use demons and barbarians as blood sacrifices, while demons would use other races, and barbarians would use humans and demons...

But now the Immortal Elder has sent them to the Nine Netherworlds.

"Is there a path to the Nine Netherworlds?" The Five Organs Immortal Lord couldn't help but think of something else.

The Nine Netherworlds are mysterious, much like the celestial realm, existing independently outside the human world. There is absolutely no other way to reach them except through death.

There are even legends that the Nine Netherworlds are a forbidden land for the living, where no living being can survive.

Are the Five Visceral Immortals who have already ascended considered living beings?
