The human world, the Zhou Dynasty.

It was raining heavily in the capital, and people were rushing on the road. There were passers-by holding oil-paper umbrellas and hurried by. There were also scholars and vendors running with things in their hands, or hiding under the eaves.

On the 33rd day, a Tao-demonic war raged for several months, with the Taoist sect and the underworld wailing.

On the earth, all mortals have no idea that a catastrophe may befall them at any time, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Xixixi~"

Behind the Sitian Supervisor Office, an old Taoist in the Taolin Building was sitting cross-legged on a futon, as if listening to the sound of rain.

Rich colorful clouds of merit and virtue gathered above the head, and with the movement of the Merit Sutra, they fell into the body of the Taoist and merged into the body of his soul.

After the old Taoist Lingxu returned from the Thirty-Three Heavens, he calmed down the disciples who were casualties in the Tao-demon war, and hurriedly retreated into seclusion.

The entire Si Tianjian has also entered a closed situation, and even the Taoist officials of Si Tianjian have opened the magic world.

He was not the most conspicuous in this Dao Demon War, but before participating in the Dao Demon War, Lingxu was already at the middle level of the Earth Realm, and among the monks in the world, he ranked among the top.

During the Dao Demon War, on the Thirty-Three Heavens Dojo, he even broke through to the top level of the Earth Realm.

Therefore, upon returning this time, Taoist Lingxu knew that he was only one step away from breaking through to the heavenly realm.

Although taking this step does not mean you have attained the Great Way, let alone immortality.

But if you break through to the heavenly realm, you can extend your life for thousands of years and become immortal, and your body can ascend to the fairyland.

One after another, colorful clouds of merit are drawn out from the top of the head, like streams of light swirling around the old Taoist Lingxu.

When the last ray of merit cloud fell, the thick cloud of merit dissipated and was finally refined by it.

At this time, Old Taoist Lingxu opened his eyes, and golden light emanated from his soul, making it look like a golden statue.

The old Taoist walked out of the retreat, walking like a god walking through the rain.

There were thunders and roars in the sky.

Outside, hundreds of Si Tianjian disciples have been waiting for a long time. People are standing outside the main hall dedicated to the Tao Lord and the Divine Lord. A large number of disciples are sitting cross-legged on the steps and corridors chanting mantras.

The oil lamps in front of the statues in the main hall flickered, and in front of the Taoist Lord on the altar and the spirit goddess in charge of merit, they visited and offered various needed things according to rituals. The incense table was used by dozens of people under the table to chant merit scriptures.

"It's done."

"Master is really going to ascend?"

"Except for those who were summoned to the Immortal Court by Dao Lord, Master should be the first person in the world whose merits have soared."

Although the disciples had known about it for a long time, they were still shocked and speechless when they saw this scene.

"Buzz~"

The heavy palace door that was originally ajar was completely pushed open, and everyone in the palace immediately began to take the final step, burning incense and paper to lead their wishes to the upper realm.

As the ritual proceeds according to the process of a person ascending to the heavenly realm, pray to the fairy court and wait for God's response.

The old Taoist, wearing the golden light of merit and virtue, with the Bagua yin and yang flowing behind his back, stepped into the main hall.

Finally, he knelt on the ground under the altar in the main hall and worshiped Lord Kongchen.

"A disciple of the Taoist sect in the lower realm has a weak spirit. He has been practicing in the Taoist sect for sixty-two years. Today, he has completed his work and wants to ascend to the fairy court in the upper realm."

"Please give me blessings from the Taoist Lord of Immortal Court, and ask the Goddess Lingxian of Deyun Palace to give me your name on the merit list and open the door to heaven."

The third level of Heaven Realm is the lowest threshold for ascending to the Immortal Court God Realm, and one can enter the Immortal Court Ministry and become a god.

Although you can continue to practice, your status will be different after ascending to the upper realm.

Old Taoist Lingxu is not ready to wait any longer. Only by being promoted to the Immortal Court and becoming a heavenly official and a divine official can he have the opportunity to make further breakthroughs and finally realize the great way to truly live as long as heaven and earth.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to accumulate the merits you want in the lower three levels just by relying on the merits accumulated in the human world. Only by ascending to the Immortal Court and taking charge of the divine power of the Heavenly Court can you gain immeasurable merits.

Every move of the heavenly officials and gods in the Immortal Court can affect the earth, and they have immeasurable luck and merit.

The same thing, such as the matter of refining gods and humans, if done by mortals, is nothing more than the birth of a magical power, and there is not even any merit.

But when Daojun takes action, it's completely different.

It represents the birth of a unique creature in heaven and earth, the operation and maintenance of the existence of heaven and the fairy world, and the factor that reverses the war between Tao and demons.

It is because of their different personalities that they have different influences on all sentient beings in heaven and earth, and they are recognized differently by heaven and earth.

Furthermore, nowadays, a large number of divine seats in the Immortal Court are vacant. Whoever can ascend first will naturally be reused, and there is no need to continue to practice in the human world.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Immortal Court in the Upper Realm to respond.

There was no change in the statue of Lord Dao, but the statue of Lingxiangu started to shake.

Golden light penetrated the heaven and earth and landed on the entire Si Tianjian Office.

The eyes of the gods from the upper realm penetrated thousands of miles away and landed on the old Taoist Lingxu.

The voice of Lady Lingxu resounded in Taoist Lingxu's soul: "Lingxu, the master of Dazhou Dao Meridian, has completed his meritorious deeds and bestowed upon the Immortal Court the green divine edict to ascend to the upper realm of the Immortal Court as a god on a certain day."

A green edict fell from the golden light and merged into the soul of Taoist Lingxu.

At this time, the light all over Taoist Lingxu's body became even brighter, and his figure was hazy and illusory.

It was as if the human world could no longer accommodate him, and the upper world was attracting him and pulling him away.

Old Taoist Lingxu turned around and walked outside.

He no longer has any memories in this world. Most of his brothers who practiced together in the past have died. Master Tao Xian transformed into Tao Shenjun to guard the two realms of Yin and Yang.

A group of disciples were kneeling on the ground.

As the old Taoist walked to the palace gate, the pounding rain fell even harder, and bursts of thunder illuminated the darkness.

The old Taoist turned his head and looked at one of the disciples who was kneeling on the ground: "From now on, you will be the fourth generation supervisor of Si Tianjian."

The disciple was overjoyed and knelt down and said: "Master, as it is raining, why don't the Taoist Master choose an auspicious time to ascend and announce it to the world at the same time, so that Taoist disciples from all over the world can celebrate together."

These disciples have selfish motives, and naturally they want to keep their ascended patriarch who has been summoned by the Immortal Court to stay in the human world for a while, and at the same time expand Si Tianjian's influence and power.

The old Taoist saw the meaning of these disciples at a glance, but now that Si Tianjian has entered his heyday and the most powerful period, the old Taoist believed that Si Tianjian should be more restrained and low-key this time, so he rejected the fourth generation Si Tianjian.

A true request.

"The old Taoist feels that it is just right. Rain is a gift from God to the world. The weather and weather are all auspicious."

"Remembering the great disaster in Lingzhou in the past, Lord Dao called the wind, rain, and thunder, and the rain fell from thousands of miles away to save millions of people in Lingzhou."

"Isn't it exactly similar to this moment?"

Black clouds were pressing down on the sky, and there was thunder.

The Taoist stood in front of the main hall. A dark cloud torn from the void and fell, and the light just enveloped the Taoist.

You can faintly see the light above, the scene of the fairy court, and the sound of divine cranes and fairy music in the fairy court.

"The old man is gone!"

The figure of Taoist Lingxu merged into the golden light, rose into the sky amid thunder, and disappeared without a trace.

In Sitian Prison, there was a sea of ​​people kneeling together.

"I respectfully send my master (master, uncle) to ascend to the Immortal Palace."

In the palace, when Old Taoist Lingxu was praying to heaven and earth, when the golden beam of light on the statue of Lingxiangu penetrated heaven and earth, the emperor in the palace had already seen it.

"Why did Si Tianjian suddenly appear with divine light? Did something happen?"

He immediately felt that something big had happened in Si Tianjian, and someone next to him immediately passed the news.

"What? Prisoner Lingxu is about to ascend to the Immortal Court?"

The emperor couldn't sit still immediately, and now he was going to Si Tianjian to see Taoist Lingxu.

He was afraid that if he arrived late, he would not see anyone.

"It's raining heavily outside, why not wait until it stops." The minister on the side advised.

How could the emperor hold back at this moment: "My dear wife, Lingxu, has ascended to the Immortal Palace. This is the blessing of our great Zhou Dynasty and the blessing of the hundreds of millions of people in our great Zhou Dynasty. How can I not go?"

However, halfway along the way, a strange phenomenon occurred again in the direction of Si Tianjian.

The fairy light from the fairy garden falls down, and various scenes of the fairy garden are vaguely visible in the golden light.

Amidst the thunder, a person flew up to the upper world, and the light converged and disappeared completely.

"Really ascended?"

All the officials and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty bowed down and bowed down to pay homage to the third official of the Si Tianjian, and the first person of the Great Zhou Dynasty to ascend to the Immortal Court.

The ordinary eunuchs and guards even knelt on the ground on the spot. They had seen such a scene before.

Not long after Old Taoist Lingxu ascended to the Immortal Courtyard, the majestic thunderstorm that came and dissipated quickly finally stopped.

The sun shone on the rain-washed Shenjing, and countless people walked out of their homes, discussing the scenes that had just happened one after another in the heavy rain.

The news spread, and Taoists all over the world were completely shocked by the news.

Among them, Taoist masters and schools from all walks of life offered wine and began to retreat——

Taoist Lingxu came to Kunlun God Realm and stood under the Immortal Gate.
