Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 480 Soaring to the Clouds, the Witch Black Abyss

"The King's Tower has seven levels."

"In front of the Grand Tutor's Mansion".

Jiang Jian raised his wrist and sent Lü Wang his location.

Then, he sat down on the ground in a corner of the giant gate.

He began his cultivation as if no one else was around.

The Mirror Master once said...

He instructed himself to take Lü Wang with him to pay homage to the Grand Tutor.

therefore.

Jiang Jian did not go in first.

Lü Wang did not have a token.

If they didn't follow me, they wouldn't be able to enter the Grand Tutor's mansion at all.

Cultivation room.

Jiang Jian was able to sense it.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here has become incredibly concentrated.

On the giant gate.

The bronze beast head has a single open eye, within which lightning flashes.

Each thunderous tremor draws in vital energy from all directions, causing it to converge rapidly.

soon.

An aircraft sped towards them.

Click!

The shuttle came to a stop, and the hatch opened wide!

Lu Wang jumped off the ship, looking somewhat hurried.

I met Jiang Jian.

Lu Wang steadied himself and immediately bowed to Jiang Jian: "I apologize for the late audience with the temporary voters. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Jiang nodded without saying anything more.

He simply stood up, raised the token in his hand, and activated it slightly.

hum!
The token trembled slightly, emitting a soft, clear light.

Above the giant gate, golden patterns flowed.

The single eye of the bronze animal head suddenly opened completely!

boom!
A golden bolt of lightning shot out from within!
The beam of light did not attack anyone.

Instead, it unfolded into a staircase interwoven with lightning in front of Jiang Jian.

At the end of the stairs is a rotating deep purple ring.

"Enter."

The Mirror Master's voice was icy, echoing deep within their minds.

Jiang Mian's expression remained unchanged, and he stepped onto the lightning staircase first.

Lü Wang took a deep breath and followed suit.

"This is the Thunder Guiding Star Array!"

Jiang Jian lifted his foot and landed on the thunder steps, his expression slightly serious.

Despite the fact that Saturn's divine technology has been overestimated as much as possible.

But Jiang Jian still hadn't expected it.

The application of star arrays in the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom has actually developed to this extent.

On Earth.

This lightning-guided technology exists only in rumors.

Jiang Jian walked into the circle.

The world suddenly twisted.

Before me stretched an endless starry sky.

In the center of this starry sky, a huge round mirror floats.

The mirror's smooth surface reflects the stars in the sky.

It is illusory and transparent.

The frame is a rustic bronze color.

Ancient demonic script is carved along the edges.

It exudes an aura of vastness and antiquity.

“Su, Lü Wang”.

The scattered starlight coalesced and took the form of a man in black robes.

He glanced at the two of them and said in a calm tone, "Come with me."

Jiang replied, "Yes."

Lü Wang quickly bowed and said, "Yes."

With a flick of his sleeve, the black-robed envoy conjured starlight, lifting the three of them into the sky and sending them flying toward the giant round mirror.

"The Grand Tutor's Mansion is a mysterious world within a mirror, and also the Daoist temple of the True Lord."

The messenger tossed out two tokens, handing one to Jiang Jian and the other to Lü Wang.

"You two may choose any nebula as your place of residence."

"By activating the direct line token, we can bind the selected nebula."

behind him.

Lü Wang accepted the token, his expression somewhat excited.

Jiang Jian held the token, his mind sharpening.

This new token has actually merged with my previous token!
Bathed in golden light.

A brand new voter token appeared in his hand.

"Grand Tutor's Mansion, official voters, plain."

A line of small, golden characters is engraved on it.

Besides.

Nothing more.

"Go and choose your own dojo."

"At 7 p.m., I will take you to see the Grand Tutor."

The messenger, accompanied by the two, landed at the edge of the round mirror and vanished from the spot.

aside.

Jiang Jian and Lü Wang exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

Instead, he began to look around.

This mirror world is filled with nebulae and clusters of light.

A surge of inspiration, a boiling of vitality.

A vast expanse of purple mist descended from above.

It almost solidified into a tangible form.

In the center of the round mirror is a crystal palace.

Its majestic and beautiful appearance reflects a dazzling purple light.

Clearly, this is where the Grand Tutor practiced his cultivation.

In all directions, many deep purple nebulae floated.

Each nebula is like the residence of an official.

From time to time.

Then some creatures, riding on starlight, flew past this place.

As they passed by, their gazes swept over Jiang Jian and Lü Wang with curiosity and scrutiny.

"These people are all ordinary officials from the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

Lu Wang gripped the token tightly and glared back fiercely, "We are the core voters, different from them."

Jiang Jian then played with the token, activated it, and said softly, "This token can transform into a starlight mount, allowing you to roam freely here."

Quietly.

Suddenly, a giant starlight beast appeared beneath Jiang.

next second.

It let out a silent roar, carrying Jiang Jian into the sky, rushing towards the purple starry river above.

The world in the mirror is like a hidden little paradise.

The rules in this context differ from those in reality.

"My token can fly to higher places."

On the body of the Starlight Beast, Jiang Jian scanned the purple starry river, his gaze shifting slightly.

He noticed.

The nebula of light here is just the most basic cultivation ground.

Even higher up, there is an even more magnificent deep purple thunder nebula.

Only the direct descendants of the Grand Tutor's family were eligible to enter.

boom!
As Jiang Jian's thoughts stirred slightly.

The starlight behemoth roared once more.

With a powerful stomp of its four hooves, it galloped toward the starry dome!

soon.

Jiang Jian arrived at the most dazzling nebula region.

Every nebula here is accompanied by the sound of thunder.

Every moment, it radiates a dazzling purple light.

"That's it."

Jiang looked around and finally chose a blocky nebula.

"The Grand Tutor's mansion has actually received a new employee?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from over there.

Jiang turned his head to look.

A tall figure emerged in front of another nebula.

He was a man with long, silver hair.

He revealed himself, looked Jiang Jian up and down, and said in a cryptic tone, "The Grand Tutor's mansion receives some officials every year."

“But we haven’t seen a loyal voter like you in a long time.”

The silver-haired man exuded an aura of aggression and appeared quite aggressive.

Jiang Jian remained calm, and ripples of profound energy appeared around his body. With a tremor, he completely neutralized the silver-haired man's outward release of profound energy!

Between the two.

A vortex of energy appears.

At its center, invisible ripples spread outwards.

Amidst the fierce collision, a subtle surge of energy emerged!

The silver-haired man's expression changed: "A newly elected voter actually possesses such strong spiritual energy!"

Jiang Jian stood still and said coldly, "If you are a friendly colleague, then come and exchange identity documents; if you are trying to test me and ask me to rank you by seniority, you are not qualified."

The silver-haired man licked his lips and said nothing more.

just.

His gaze toward Jiang Jian became much more restrained.

Jiang ignored him and instead took out a token, which she then directly bound to the Radiant Purple Nebula!

boom!
Starlight is spreading!

The world is changing.

When Jiang Jian opened his eyes again, he was already inside the nebula.

This is a magnificent crystal pavilion.

The pavilions and courtyards are all complete.

It was surrounded by deep purple lightning.

Every moment, a vast amount of inspiration is gathering.

"The Grand Tutor's Mansion is truly a blessed land."

Jiang Jian walked into the courtyard and tried to cultivate for a while. Then he opened his eyes and was slightly surprised.

Practicing here is extremely safe.

Furthermore, countless opportunities and auspicious omens flow in continuously.

If paired with spiritual resources.

Your cultivation speed will definitely increase dramatically!

just.

Jiang Jian understood even better.

I won't be staying here for very long.

After having an audience with the Grand Tutor, his official position was confirmed.

I will most likely have to leave the Grand Tutor's mansion soon.

"If only I could stay here and cultivate forever."

"Three years might be enough to reach the edge of the altar."

Jiang sat down on the ground, a look of regret in his eyes.

The world in the mirror is, after all, the sacred ground of the True Lord.

These nebulae were merely a perk offered to officials by the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Provide these officials with a temporary place to stay.

Apart from the True Lord.

No one can stay here for long.

Time passed quickly.

7 pm.

Jiang Jian opened his eyes, and his whole body trembled.

He stood up and exhaled a breath of profound energy.

Deep within the pupils, a deep purple vortex disappeared.

"What a sacred place for cultivation!" Jiang Jian walked out of the courtyard, glanced back, and felt a little reluctant to leave.

This is the nebula of the Grand Tutor's mansion.

The spiritual aids that it brings to living beings.

It's even more comprehensive than the spiritual veins of Wangyue City!
He only practiced for a few hours.

Jiang Jian noticed it immediately.

His own divine palace's spiritual essence had clearly increased by a trace.

"It seems."

"Being able to stay in the Grand Tutor's mansion for a long time is the highest reward."

Realize this.

Jiang Jian had a new idea for his cultivation plan.

Taking a post outside the home is an indispensable step.

One of the reasons is to collect materials from dimensional space.

as well as.

The resources and spiritual objects required for cultivation in the third realm are simply too numerous.

Especially for me, the rare spiritual materials needed for deep cultivation are astronomical.

We must plunder a massive amount of cultivation resources within the limits permitted by the laws of the demon kingdom.

This provides enough resources to support oneself and cultivate to the divine level.

At last.

I'll find another way to return to the Grand Tutor's mansion to cultivate.

Thus.

Only by cultivating one's own divine palace can one achieve a true and comprehensive improvement!
Just thinking about it.

Lu Wang had already arrived, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "This Nebula Courtyard is truly too profound, far surpassing even the Star Watching Bureau where my father worked."

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "Let's go."

not far away.

In a nebula.

The silver-haired man stepped out, gazing at Jiang Jian and Lü Wang with narrowed eyes.

"One official voter, one temporary voter."

"These two people look ordinary and should not pose a threat to the Grand Tutor's Mansion's quota of Heavenly Positions."

His gaze was fixed on Jiang Jian.

"This is the person we need to keep an eye on."

at the same time.

Standing on the back of the Starlight Beast, Jiang Jian activated the Netherworld Tribulation Scripture and had already noticed the gaze from behind.

"This silver-haired man harbors an inexplicable hostility towards me."

Jiang Jian's gaze turned slightly cold, but she did not turn around.

at this time.

He had just entered the demon kingdom.

Many situations remain unclear.

Even if they sense hostility, it's not advisable to retaliate immediately.

A few minutes later.

Jiang Jian, with Lü Wang by his side, landed at the edge of the enormous round mirror.

The black-robed messenger was already waiting there.

"Let's go."

The envoy didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand.

With Jiang Jian and Lü Wang by his side, they flew towards the Crystal Palace.

This time.

Most of the officials in the Grand Tutor's Mansion had already left after get off work.

The palace in the center of the round mirror was very quiet.

The messenger led the two men on their journey.

They only encountered a few servants.

These people showed great respect when they saw the messenger.

He bowed his head in respect, without even raising it.

"go in."

The black-robed messenger stopped in his tracks.

This place is deep within the palace.

Before them stood a magnificent pavilion made of crystal.

"This is the residence of the Mirror Master True Lord."

Lü Wang looked up at the majestic gate and spoke in a low voice.

Jiang Jian's gaze narrowed slightly as he walked, observing carefully.

He noticed.

This pavilion contains an indescribable mystical aura.

The last time I experienced this feeling.

It was back in Earth's Heavenly Capital when I paid homage to the Jade Emperor.

"This is the life force emanating from a being in the Spirit Platform Realm."

Jiang Jian frowned.

He suddenly thought.

Not long ago.

He went to the tenth level of the King's Tower to meet the Star Lord True Lord.

They didn't notice this aura.

"Perhaps it is the True Lord Xuan Shou, whose power is comparable to creation, and who can restrain his life force."

By contrast.

Jiang Jian only came to this conclusion.

The breath of life cannot be concealed.

The same applies to beings at the Lingtai Realm, who are at the second level of life.

Only beings with extremely high cultivation levels can conceal their life force.

"Please."

The servant's voice interrupted Jiang Jian's thoughts.

Ahead lies the main hall and pavilion.

The crystal palace bricks are as bright as a mirror.

As the attendant performed his magic.

The hundred-meter-long beaded curtain collided with each other, producing a crisp, chiming sound.

A tall, slender figure came into view.

The man was dressed in a simple gray robe and was thin.

He stood there quietly, yet he was the center of the entire world.

All the spiritual energy and vital energy were slowly circulating around him.

He didn't exude any imposing aura.

but.

Jiang Jian and Lü Wang stared at the man in the gray robe.

His expression was extremely solemn, and even his breathing became much lighter.

This stems from a respect for life itself.

"Su greets the Grand Tutor!"

Jiang stepped forward and gave a meticulous bow.

Lu Wang followed behind, suppressing his excitement, and bowed respectfully: "Lu Wang greets Grand Tutor!"

"No gift."

The Mirror Master did not look up, still fiddling with the sand table in his hands, his voice somewhat low, "The last time the Grand Tutor's Mansion recruited people was thirty years ago."

Jiang Jian and Lü Wang exchanged a glance but did not speak.

The True Lord clearly hadn't finished speaking.

next second.

The True Lord surprisingly got straight to the point, saying directly, "Three choices."

"First, go to Xisha Road to serve as Governor."

"Second, go to the Zhenling Division for training."

"Third, take up a position at the Consulate General for Home Affairs."

After saying that, he put down the sand table and looked at Jiang Jian for the first time.

The True Lord's gaze was as calm as still water.

Yet it possesses the power to see into people's hearts.

aside.

Lü Wang knew that he had no choice.

But deep down, he was desperately praying that Jiang Jian would choose to be appointed as a governor.

Thus.

He could also follow Jiang Jian and obtain a deputy governor position.

This is truly a meteoric rise to the top!
To know.

Normally, even for registered voters.

Most of the officials appointed to positions outside the capital started as prefectural officials.

There is a considerable distance between the prefectural magistrate and the deputy governor!
Lü Wang was only a temporary voter.

But he was very lucky to be noticed by the Grand Tutor's mansion.

Their own status was elevated significantly.

In terms of even the treatment they receive, they surpass ordinary registered voters!

"Grand Tutor."

Jiang carefully considered her words and asked softly, "What are the advantages and disadvantages of these three options?"

The Grand Tutor said, "A governor-general stationed outside the capital will wield great power and have control over vast resources."

"Go to the Spirit Suppression Division, undergo rigorous training, and accumulate a prestigious resume. In the Demon Kingdom, you can rise straight to the top."

"The Office of the Directorate General of Internal Affairs is a leisurely, nominal position where the staff are responsible for signing documents and receive so many gifts that they can't keep up with the demand."

He walked up to Jiang Jian, his tone indifferent.

The underlying meaning, however, is extremely domineering.

"As for the shortcomings."

"not a single one."

"People from my Grand Tutor's Mansion only bring benefits, not harm, when they are out in the world."

Inside the Crystal Pavilion.

A brief moment of tranquility ensued.

Lu Wang's mouth was already agape.

He didn't expect that.

The Grand Tutor, who has always been mysterious, actually has such a domineering personality.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang cupped his hands and said, "We are new to the Grand Tutor's mansion and do not know how to choose. Please give us your guidance, Grand Tutor."

After thinking it over, he didn't reveal his true thoughts.

Instead, he chose to let the Mirror Master decide his official position.

Just now.

The True Lord's first words.

The Grand Tutor's Mansion has not admitted any new loyal voters for thirty years.

From a brief verbal conversation.

Jiang Jian made a judgment.

The Grand Tutor must have already decided in his heart which side he belonged to.

really.

Upon hearing Jiang Jian's words...

The True Lord's gaze softened, and with a wave of his hand, the sand table flew over.

at the same time.

The star map of the ten realms of the Demon Kingdom is displayed on the sand table.

It is integrated with it.

"Xisha Road is located in the desolate western border of the Demon Kingdom."

"This route governs twelve prefectures and is adjacent to the 'Witch's Abyss'."

"Resources are scarce and the situation is complex."

"The former Governor of Xisha Circuit died suddenly in office ten days ago."

The Grand Tutor flicked his sleeve.

Detailed information about Xisha Road has been revealed.

On the sand table star map.

To the west of the royal realm lies another vast realm marked "Wilderness".

In the far western corner.

There was a small piece of map that was glowing faintly.

Until then.

The following is Lü Wang.

Only then did I realize what had happened.

"Xisha Road!"

"How could this be the place!"

After looking closely at the map, it was indeed the three characters "Xisha Road".

Lu Wang's expression suddenly changed!
