Simulation: My family's financial situation is infinitely improved

Chapter 215 [The Celestial Realm of Spirit Void, Fifth-Rank Celestial Official]

Lin Heng curiously examined the old man who was in charge of guiding them; he was a True Immortal, at the same level as Lin Heng.

However, Lin Heng did not sense any threat from the other party, and in terms of combat strength, they should be inferior to him.

Following behind him were numerous golden-armored celestial soldiers serving as the honor guard, whose cultivation levels were not high. The weakest had just achieved the Great Perfection of Ascension and attained the Immortal Body, while the strongest were in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

According to the celestial realm, cultivators with this level of cultivation are called Earth Immortals.

In the distance, the celestial maidens acting as the atmosphere group were of similar cultivation level. Although they were all beautiful, they were all at the Earth Immortal realm.

After observing these people, Lin Heng turned his attention to the surrounding environment.

The celestial realm is indeed vastly different from the mortal realm. The spacetime here is exceptionally thick, and every fundamental particle that constitutes the existence of the world seems to form a complete universe. The air is filled with an extremely rich celestial aura.

In the mortal realm, Lin Heng's full power could easily destroy thousands of universes, but in the current environment of the immortal realm, he would struggle to even smash a mountain range with a single blow.

It's not that he's become weaker, but rather that the world he's currently in is too high-level, located in a higher dimension, and the materials used to build this world are far too sturdy.

In addition, the Dao aura in the Immortal Realm is extremely profound, and those who seek enlightenment and cultivate here can receive tremendous blessings.

Originally, Lin Heng's cultivation speed was like that of a tortoise crawling in the mortal world, but now he could clearly feel that the growth rate of his essence, energy and spirit had begun to increase dramatically.

It felt like I had just embarked on the path of cultivation and entered the spiritual vein cultivation, where my cultivation speed increased more than tenfold.

"I've met Taoist friends."

Although Lin Heng was looking around, his movements did not falter. He looked at the True Immortal of Guidance and returned the greeting with a smile.

"The Great Celestial Venerable is waiting for you, please come with me."

The True Immortal of Guidance smiled and then led Lin Heng onto the golden bridge.

Golden-armored celestial soldiers and flower-scattering celestial maidens followed behind the two, escorting them towards the Lingxiao Palace deep within the Heavenly Court.

Jinqiao began to close, leading Lin Heng to their destination.

Soon, Lin Heng arrived in front of a tall and majestic palace.

As the True Immortal led the way into the main hall, Lin Heng then saw a vast array of cloud platforms, each with an immortal seated cross-legged on it.

The Great Celestial Venerable sat high in the main seat, accompanied by many Golden Immortals. The remaining True Immortals then dispersed throughout the main hall on the other cloud platforms.

All the immortals were shrouded in a hazy celestial light, exuding a rich aura of immortality, making their faces impossible to discern.

As Lin Heng's gaze fell upon them, he naturally understood the identities of the immortals sitting cross-legged on each cloud platform. On a cloud platform of intermediate level, Lin Heng even saw the position belonging to Han Xi.

"176,432 cloud platforms, which means there are more than 170,000 true immortals."

Lin Heng whispered in his heart.

At this moment, it seemed as if they sensed his arrival.

One by one, the immortals opened their eyes, and the celestial light that had enveloped them began to dissipate, revealing immortals of different appearances, including men, women, and children.

Their aura also gradually became more vigorous from its initial silence.

In the end, half of the immortal's form was fully revealed.

"The rest of them must not be here. They're just temporarily projecting themselves here to welcome me, the newcomer. Those who aren't here are either dead or reincarnated and are cultivating again."

Lin Heng surveyed his surroundings and, combining this with what he had learned from Han Xi, drew a conclusion.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable also opened his eyes.

The celestial light that had enveloped the main seat faded, revealing a handsome young man dressed in imperial robes and a crown.

He gazed at Lin Heng and spoke gently: "Lin Heng, a cultivator from the lower realm, nurtured living beings and cleansed demons. He cultivated for 174 years to become a true immortal. He has great merit and great fortune. He is now conferred the title of Fifth-Rank True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue, and is bestowed with a celestial palace, ten celestial pills, ten jars of celestial wine, and one hundred golden flowers."

"May you diligently cultivate yourself in the future and attain eternal life as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a cloud platform was built for Lin Heng in the middle of the Lingxiao Palace.

After Lin Heng sat down cross-legged, a large amount of common knowledge information that he needed to know was instantly transmitted to him.

Just as Lin Heng had initially understood, True Immortals were not at the bottom of the Immortal Realm, but rather belonged to a mid-to-high-level position. Newly ascended True Immortals were generally appointed as seventh-rank Immortal Officials, while those with profound merits were appointed as sixth-rank Immortal Officials.

Only true immortals like Lin Heng, who have reported the coordinates of the original universe and accumulated great merit, can be granted the title of fifth-rank immortal official.

The rank of an official determines the amount of salary the Heavenly Court provides, the amount of karma that can be overdrawn, the number of times one can descend to the mortal realm, and other benefits.

To rise to the rank of a celestial official of the fourth grade or higher, one needs not only to accumulate merit but also to have the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

At this moment, the immortals in the Lingxiao Palace were all looking at Lin Heng with surprise.

They thought that becoming an immortal after ten thousand years was already an unprecedented record, but they never expected that there were still experts.

This person is not even two hundred years old, yet he has already become a true immortal.

With such talent, her future prospects are absolutely limitless!
Immediately, the immortals expressed their goodwill, introduced themselves to Lin Heng, and invited him to visit when he had time.

After everyone got to know him, Lin Heng felt the space-time before him shift, and he had left the Lingxiao Palace and arrived at the place in the Immortal Realm where ascended immortals should reside.

The Celestial Realm of Spiritual Emptiness is divided into thirty-three heavens, and the entire world is divided into thirty-three realms. Its internal space is extremely vast, far surpassing the human universe.

The lowest eighteen heavens belong to the underworld, which governs reincarnation and the rewarding of good and punishment of evil, and is also responsible for purifying the filth and evil of the immortal realm. The middle ten heavens belong to cultivators who have not yet become immortals, and are inhabited by cultivators ranging from mortals to earth immortals.

Each time these mortals advance in their cultivation, they can ascend to a higher level of the celestial realm, gaining access to a better cultivation environment and more cultivation resources.

Those clans and sects that rose to power through the attainment of enlightenment were placed in the nineteenth to twenty-eighth heavens.

Cultivators below the 26th Heaven were completely isolated. Cultivators in the 27th and 28th Heavens, having already cultivated immortal bodies and thus barely considered immortals, would not offend the eyes of celestial officials and had the opportunity to be selected to do odd jobs in the Heavenly Court.

The honor guard that greeted Lin Heng before belonged to this category of people, either descendants of true immortals or cultivators who were brought up by the ascension of one person to enlightenment.

The five highest heavens in the Immortal Realm are the residences of immortals, possessing the best cultivation environment in the entire Immortal Realm. For example, Lin Heng's residence, the Immortal Palace rewarded by the Great Heavenly Venerable, is located in the thirty-first heaven. It is not far from the Moon Palace, right next to the Taiyin Star, and Han Xi is Lin Heng's neighbor.

Of course, although they are neighbors, they are actually separated by a vast galaxy.

"coming."

Wearing a long black dress, Han Xi raised her hand and greeted Lin Heng with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded, opened the restrictions on his immortal palace, and entered it.

Although this celestial palace appears unremarkable on the outside, seemingly just an ordinary palace, it contains a space-time far more vast than the primordial universe, spanning trillions of light-years.

Within this space-time, there exists a celestial vein that continuously draws upon the rich chaotic energy within the Boundary Sea, refining it into pure celestial energy for Lin Heng's use.

At the heart of the immortal vein, there is a palace that serves as Lin Heng's Daoist temple. The immortal pills, immortal wine, and golden flowers that the Great Celestial Venerable rewarded him with are all placed in the temple.

The elixir can greatly enhance magical power, and each pill can save Lin Heng ten thousand years of arduous cultivation. The immortal wine has the same effect, but tastes better. It is a fine nectar that can make one feel like an immortal.

Golden Flower is a highly pure manifestation of the collective will of all beings. Each Golden Flower requires the prayers of countless beings in a vast universe for ten thousand years to condense. It has been tempered by the laws of the immortal realm and contains the immortal aura of gold, which can help people break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Lin Heng renovated the dojo according to his own preferences and set up a brand new array for the Immortal Palace before he was finally done.

Then, Lin Heng and Han Xi looked at each other, feeling as if a thunderbolt had struck a prairie fire.

Then they began dual cultivation.

After several rounds of cultivation, Lin Heng played with Han Xi's pair of fluffy purple-white ears and said with a smile, "No wonder you ended up in the mortal world."

This refers to the time long ago, after the battle between Hanxi and Jinwu, when Hanxi lay dead on the edge of the human universe.

Lin Heng had always been curious about why she was lying there, but Han Xi refused to say.

It wasn't until Lin Heng himself ascended to the Immortal Realm that he understood the reason.

Internal strife is not allowed in the Celestial Realm. The laws of the Heavenly Court are extremely strict and are engraved in the rules of heaven and earth.

If someone takes forceful action, they will be punished by being sent to the underworld for imprisonment. If the matter escalates, there will be other punishments, in order to maintain the internal cohesion of the Universal Immortal Dynasty.

Of course, once you leave the Celestial Realm, no one will care. As long as you conceal your karma and don't get caught by the Heavenly Enforcement Soldiers, no one will pursue the matter.

At that time, Hanxi saw the future and knew she would win, so she confidently descended to the mortal realm, bringing down the Golden Crow, who coveted her, as well.

Both sides tacitly arranged the battlefield, concealing all the cause and effect.

After the final battle, Jinwu died, Hanxi was dying, and even her relatives and friends who wanted to save her could not find her.

If Lin Heng hadn't saved her, she would still be lying paralyzed on the edge of the human universe.

"Continue your cultivation. With your fifth-rank celestial official salary and the free celestial energy quota from this celestial palace, you won't need to go out to mine chaotic energy to repay karmic debts for at least 15,000 years. In 10,000 years, my Limitless Yin-Yang Dao Fruit should be fully accomplished, giving me the qualifications to attempt to become a Golden Immortal."

"Then you'll just have to go and mine properly."

Han Xi remained silent, simply pressing Lin Heng onto the cloud bed and circulating the Wuji Yin Yang Nirvana Scripture.

Just like how a cultivator in the mortal realm who wants to ascend to immortality needs to dig out chaotic energy in the Boundary Sea to settle his karmic debts.

The same mechanism exists in the immortal realm.

The Heavenly Court doesn't require immortals to do anything, but it doesn't provide them with cultivation resources for free. Immortals who absorb immortal energy and comprehend the laws of the immortal realm will incur karmic debts to the Heavenly Court.

Those below the True Immortal realm can be ignored, but cultivators at the True Immortal realm need to repay karma at any time, and at most they can only owe karma ten times the amount of their own merits.

Then, to offset the karmic debt, one unit of immortal energy must be consumed, and two units of chaotic energy must be mined from the Boundary Sea.

However, even so, it is still faster than cultivators going to the Boundary Sea to directly refine chaotic energy for cultivation.

For immortals, directly refining immortal energy is the fastest way to increase their cultivation. Moreover, true immortals have upgraded their methods of mining chaotic energy. They don't slowly refine it by hand, but instead spend time refining immortal veins.

By spending time refining a celestial vein, the celestial vein can automatically absorb and refine the chaotic energy of the boundary sea, allowing one to cultivate quietly for a period of time.

If a true immortal accumulates enough immortal veins, the immortal energy supplied by those veins will be sufficient to meet their cultivation needs, and they will naturally not need to painstakingly mine chaotic energy in the future.

Of course, the idea of ​​immortals achieving financial freedom is only a theoretical possibility.

You have refined enough immortal veins to satisfy your cultivation needs, and you even have excess immortal energy to refine immortal stones or even immortal crystals as reserves. So, at this point, wouldn't you like to pursue a faster cultivation speed and stronger combat power?
If you've hit a bottleneck, wouldn't you like to have a high-level expert guide you?
At this moment, you will find that the Great Celestial Venerable is smiling at you, and you can buy all kinds of elixirs, celestial artifacts, advanced celestial techniques, and high-grade materials from him.

The Great Celestial Venerable is very gentle and never bullies the weak or orders other immortals from a high position. However, it is impossible for you to get his cultivation results for free.

As a result, the immortal's hard-earned wallet was quickly emptied, and he had to spend time and energy to earn more.

However, lying flat is impossible. Unless one truly achieves eternity, lying flat is a form of slow death for immortals, even for the strongest being in the immortal realm, the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable established the Celestial Dynasty, opened up the Celestial Realm, and spread the Dao of Immortality. He may have had many purposes, but one of the most important was to find someone to help him collect cultivation resources for his own cultivation.

No wonder, Hanxi said at the beginning that there was actually no difference between the immortal realm and the mortal realm. Everyone was running forward without stopping in order to achieve the goal of eternity.

It can't be stopped, and nobody wants to stop.

"Then I guess I won't have a chance to mine."

Lin Heng gazed at Han Xi with a smile.

This simulation, because Lin Heng's cultivation has reached the True Immortal realm, can last for 12,000 years. When it's time to mine 15,000 years later, Lin Heng will have already absconded with the money and left this virtual world line.

"In reality, I won't come to the Immortal Realm for the time being; it's pointless."

"Why not exploit the bug and use the Heaven and Earth Blessing to rapidly increase your cultivation level, reaching the Golden Immortal realm first?"

This thought flashed through Lin Heng's mind when he was cultivating with Han Xi.
