Under such circumstances.
There is only one possibility.
The game system may not rely on the incense absorbed into the body to promote God’s level.
Moreover.
He remembered another thing – in the real world, one day has passed, but in Journey to the West World, ten days have passed.
Therefore.
When the Guanyin Zen Temple was eradicated, there should be more power of incense in the Journey to the West World and it should have surpassed ‘twenty thousand’ long ago.
So, there is only one possibility.
“The incense of Journey to the West World does not count towards the promotion of Immortal Officials in the game system?” Daoist Xuanqing muttered quietly.
Although it feels a bit strange.
But if you think carefully, it is not impossible.
After all, the promotion of Immortal Officials requires the faith of the local people.
For example, you are the Earth Deity of the ‘Wang Family Village’.
Even if you set up your own Earth temple in ‘Zhang Family Dam’, the incense stolen will not be included in your performance. Instead, this would violate the law and lead to punishment.
Ultimately.
Daoist Xuanqing concluded: the incense from the game world can only be used for recharge, and only the incense from the real world can promote the advancement of Daoist Immortal Officials.
“I don’t know what changes will occur after the promotion of the Standard Eighth-Rank Daoist Immortal Officer!”
Expectation shimmered in Xuanqing’s eyes.
“Enter.. Right, first turn off the trapping effect of this Bewilderment Formation!”
Just as he was about to enter the game, he suddenly remembered that the trapping effect of the Bewilderment Formation was still on. It would be disastrous if two visitors accidentally entered and were trapped inside.
He manipulated the jade talisman of the Bewilderment Formation and turned off the trapping effect.
That way, even if tourists stumble into the back mountain, they will only be subject to the bewildering effect and won’t be able to penetrate deep into the formation, they can only return the way they came.
After finishing all these.
Xuanqing cross-legged at the Array’s Eye.
With a thoughtful mind.
“Enter the game!”
Within the Game World.
The Netherworld!
In the quiet room, a Taoist practitioner sitting cross-legged on a cushion opened his eyes!
“Huh-”
Xuanqing took a deep breath.
This action did not mean exhaling impurities because there is no such concept in the God Soul state.
Just at this moment.
An anomaly occurred suddenly.
The entire Netherworld began to experience surges of wind and clouds, with a tremendous amount of underworld qi constantly churning.
Hummm-
In the dark sky, boundless dark clouds emerged, radiating an awe-inspiring power of heaven and earth.
Subsequently.
A tremendous voice sounded as if it came from all directions, and then echoed throughout the Netherworld.
[Taiji Palace selected Scholar, Left Judge of Wulei Institute and Officer of Thunderbolt Department, Daoist Xuanqing, a Standard Ninth-rank Immortal Official with registered status, heed the decree!]
[Due to his blessings to the common people, the thriving incense has reached more than 20,000. Therefore, he is promoted to: Taiji Canon Right Leading Soldier Law Enforcement True Master of Thunder Administrative Affairs, ascending from the Eighth Rank, and can lead a team of ten Dao Soldiers!]
As expected!
Feeling this divine might.
There was no surprise on Xuanqing’s face, instead, he simply murmured ‘as expected’.
Because.
The last time he advanced from the Ninth Rank, this happened as well, there were unusual phenomena in heaven and earth, and at last his Daoist Immortal Official was increased by one rank.
“Advanced from the Eighth Rank, Right Army Commander and Law Enforcer!!” Daoist Xuanqing murmured quietly.
Unlike the previous Left Judge, this Eighth Grade Right Army Commander and Law Enforcer have already gained the right to lead troops and can cultivate spirits and cultivators to be his Dao soldiers.
To put it more simply,
From the Eighth Grade onwards, in addition to the rank of ‘Taoist Boy’, Xuanqing now has a fighting department of Dao soldiers under his command.
What’s worth mentioning is,
Unlike ‘Taoist Boy’, once he ‘conferred’ someone as a Dao soldier, their combat power instantly becomes at the immortal level. However, they also lose the hope of advancing further.
After considering this, the status of Taoist Boy is actually higher than that of the Dao soldier, because Taoist Boys possess unlimited possibilities, while a Dao soldier is a Dao soldier for life.
Just as Xuanqing pondered over his Eighth Grade ‘Dao Soldiers Leading’ rights,
A mechanical prompt sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations, Player, on activating a new feature: Time Acceleration (Plants)]
???
Xuanqing’s body shook.
It had been a long time since the last time the new feature was activated, and now this game system finally activated a new feature again.
Time Acceleration!!
Just by hearing the name, one could tell that the function was powerful, but there was a parenthesis that followed, with the word ‘Plants’ written inside?
He focused his attention on ‘Time Acceleration (Plants)’.
Suddenly,
Information about this new feature appeared in his mind.
[Time Acceleration (Plants)]: expend a certain amount of Ingots to accelerate the age growth of plants.
[Acceleration Cost]:io Ingots/Year!
Note: During growth, the target must be in a suitable growth environment, and it cannot be used on spirit targets.
“So, it means that by spending ten ingots, one year can be added to a plant’s growth.”
“And it can’t be used on spirits?” Xuanqing placed his hand on his chin and pondered.
What are spirits?
Plants and trees that have awakened their wisdom can be called spirit plants, such as the converted Huai Qingyun, who is considered a locust tree spirit and is no longer an ordinary plant.
Understanding this restriction makes sense, otherwise, if it were directly used on the spirit under his command, accelerating for tens of thousands or even millions of years, wouldn’t they become invincible in a matter of minutes?
However,
At the bottom of this feature, there is a ‘Note’ indicating that there are other restrictions besides not being able to be used on spirits.
“It must meet the growth environment of the target during growth?”
That’s not difficult to understand.
For instance,
If you want to instantly ripen the 3,000-year-old flat peaches in the Heavenly Court, in addition to the usage of 3,000 years’ worth of acceleration ingots, it needs to be in a place where the ‘Immortal Spirit Qi’ is abundant.
If the flat peaches were placed on the Earth in the real world, no matter how many ingots were expended, I’m afraid it would be impossible to accelerate even one year.
“Tsk, tsk, Spirits cannot be used, and suitable growth environments are needed. This new feature has quite a few limitations.”
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.
Even though this new feature seems full of restrictions, he wasn’t especially disappointed. Having something is always better than having nothing. People… shouldn’t be too greedy.
While Xuanqing was studying the new feature of the game system,
In another place in the Netherworld,
The Purgatory Realm!
Unlike the legendary Eighteen Layers of Hell, this place is where criminals are temporarily held. Spirits are confined here before their judgement and reincarnation.
At this moment,
A half-transparent, white-haired and bald monk was bound to a pillar.
The monk was the Elder Jinchi.
His face appeared a bit dazed, and there wasn’t a trace of spirit in his eyes. It seemed that he had already lost his sanity.
But it didn’t mean that just because he had lost his sanity, it was all over.
“Humph- He has gone mad again. Let this god restore your sanity, old monk!”
In front of Elder Jinchi,
