Chapter 265: Flying Fairy? Just a consumable item! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Ascension is a scam!"

“Big scam!!!”

As one of the earliest ascenders, Qing Yunzi was quite excited when talking about this matter. He said "scam" several times and even waved his hands constantly, so that his already hideous wounds became even more open and his whole body turned into a blood gourd.

A square dent was left on Qingye Zhenren's face from the blow, but at his level of strength, telepathy was more convenient than speaking, so he muttered, "After we ascend to heaven, we are called 'Flying Immortals' and remain in the Feixian Palace, awaiting our assignment from the Reward and Punishment Department."

"Although I didn't become an immortal, and I didn't live as carefree as I imagined, I didn't find it too difficult to accept at first, until later..."

Qingye Zhenren's pupils shattered instantly, and two beams of blood light emerged from his pupils, intersecting in mid-air and turning into a projection.

In the projection, I saw that Master Qingye was standing on an extremely huge lifting platform, which was densely packed with flying fairies. The strength of each flying fairy was not inferior to Master Qingye, and some of them even made Zhang Kuang feel like a thorn in his back.

Zhang Kuang, Shuiyue Zhenren, and Su Ru instinctively held their breath, thinking that this was the military parade of Feixian Palace. However, they did not expect that after the platform stabilized, the sound from the sky was:

"The auction for the 138th batch of Flying Immortals begins now. The starting price for 10,000 low-level Flying Immortals remains the same: 10 million contributions. Each bid must be no less than 100,000."

Auction?!
Even Zhang Kuang no longer had a smile on his face. His expression was so serious as if covered by a layer of dark clouds, and he stared at the projection with extreme seriousness.

"My Thunder Department recently discovered a brand new star field and is in need of cannon fodder. Ten million contributions."

"Heh, it's not like your Thunder Department doesn't produce Flying Immortals, so why are you trying to pressure me by coming to my Plague Department's auction? My Plague Department is in need of Flying Immortals to test medicines, and we're short of quite a few. I'll add another 100,000."

"Amitabha, the Dharma of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli is about to begin, but it is hard to give up. I will offer 11 million as a contribution."

"..."

From time to time, the sound of bidding could be heard from the high platform where no one could see the real figure. Each sound was magnificent, and every sound that fell on the earth was enough to make everyone from kings and generals to ordinary people kneel down and worship the gods, Buddhas and immortals crazily. However, the content of their words was full of competition for power and wealth, and showing off their own "achievements".

Not bad!

Zhang Kuang could naturally tell that although every word these big shots said was a reason for them to fight for the immortality, they were actually just showing off their recent achievements.

The Ministry of Thunder has opened up new star fields, the Ministry of Plague has developed new plagues, and the Buddhist sect has launched a new round of disasters. I am sure that there will be a few more Bodhisattvas and Arhats who will rise against the trend.

What made Zhang Kuang speechless the most was the reason given by the disciples of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun of the Temple of Justice:

The Sun-Swallowing God has eaten too many flying immortals recently, so the Justice Hall is short of staff and needs to buy some flying immortals to make up the number.

Qingyun Zhenren had regained some composure at this point. In order to help the three of them more intuitively understand the extravagance of the immortals and Buddhas and the cheapness of the flying immortals, he forced himself to sit up and said:
"There is no currency in the Heavenly Court. Only contribution points are used as a medium of exchange. One contribution point can be exchanged for eighteen golden mountains, or thirty-six lotus ponds, or a spiritual pond for immortals to cultivate.

Immortals like me, staying in the Immortal Palace, need to take on quests, each worth between one and ten contribution points. If we work hard, we can earn three to five thousand contribution points a month. After deducting taxes and daily expenses, we'll have less than a thousand contribution points left each month. But this is just the apparent expenditure. In reality, to complete quests, we must spend contribution points to purchase spirit pools to restore our spiritual energy, and we also need to maintain connections on a daily basis, resulting in most immortals living beyond their means.

They had no choice but to choose the Feixian Loan launched by the God of Wealth to make ends meet, in the hope of being noticed by a certain righteous god and transferred from the Feixian Palace to the Eight Departments. If they could be lucky enough to enter the upper four departments of thunder, fire, plague and fighting, they would be able to rise to prominence.

Even if you go to the four lower parts of the stars, the three mountains and five peaks, the gods of rain and clouds, and the gods of good and evil, you can still get a chance to breathe.

But there are immortals ascending to heaven every day. If you are not taken seriously at the beginning and fail to stand out at the Immortal Assembly, you will become a mediocre person."

Qing Yunzi became more and more sad as he spoke. The blood and tears on his face mixed together and flowed over the squirming flesh on the wound, which was trembling visibly with the naked eye.

Qingye Zhenren also cried, "Although my ancestor and I are tired, we can still make ends meet. However, we did not expect to encounter a fight between two great gods and were injured by the aftermath. In order to treat our injuries, we had no choice but to borrow Feixian Loan, but our debt kept increasing until we could no longer pay it back. Our money was then packaged up and auctioned off, and eventually ended up in the Doubu Army's arsenal."

He pointed at the silver armor on his body and said, "The flying immortals like us who were auctioned off are all of low rank, so the Dou Department people don't value us. They just use copper liquid, iron armor and silver frost to forge us into heavenly soldiers, responsible for guarding the heavenly palace or doing miscellaneous tasks."

Qing Yunzi sighed, "However, when we were conquering Lion Camel Ridge again, tens of thousands of our colleagues were accidentally swallowed by the Green Lion Spirit. Although Qing Ye and I escaped the disaster, we were also injured in the subsequent battle.

Due to insufficient contribution points, Qingye and I were not eligible for re-creation, so we were thrown to Feixian Star to be "waste recycled and serve as guards."

Qingye Zhenren added, "Since no immortals have appeared here in the past three days, it has been relegated to an inferior star. Coincidentally, my master, I, and several other immortals are all from this world, so they sent us back to this star. We will either perish with this world in thirty days, or cultivate new immortals."

"Three days?!" Su Ru and Shuiyue Zhenren were shocked again. You know, there hasn't been a flying fairy in this world for at least eight hundred years. Logically speaking, it should have been destroyed long ago.

Zhang Kuang said thoughtfully, "One day in heaven is one year on earth. Time flows at a different speed, right?"

"That's right, but it's not one year, but a thousand years!" Qing Yunzi's words were shocking, and even Zhang Kuang was frightened.

"Although the Flying Immortal Stars are located in the Heavenly Palace, their status is actually underground. It is said that in the past, when the Heavenly Palace was in decline and the immortals and gods were withered, a great master used his great power to build a large Zhoutian star array, gathering all the stars. It can be used as a defensive array for the Heavenly Palace and call on the power of the stars, and it can also be used to cultivate flying immortals and enrich the immortals and gods.

One day in heaven is one year on earth, three years in the underworld, but a thousand years pass in the immortal stars! Three days and thirty days in heaven are three thousand years and thirty thousand years in the immortal stars.

Zhang Kuang's brow furrowed in a frown, and the Earth Mother in the Mountain, River, and State Map exclaimed in shock, "If the flow rate is accelerated to this extent, the potential of the world and the essence of the stars will be quickly exhausted!"

True Man Qingye thought it was just some magical treasure on Zhang Kuang speaking, so he explained with a wry smile, "So what? There are quite a few Flying Immortal Stars. Not to mention the four divisions of Thunder, Fire, Plague and Dou are constantly exploring and hunting for stars to enter the Zhoutian Star Array in exchange for star dew.

Even if the stars are drained of their essence and the world is depleted of its potential, the dead stars are still important materials for magic weapons and are another resource!"
