The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

Chapter 82 Pure Yang Sword

"The Plague Emperor's words are utterly wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yi immediately retorted, "The Plague Department and the Smallpox Department send down plagues and diseases, and those punished often die from illness, harming their physical bodies and lifespans. The Department of Misfortune, however, sends down calamities and bad luck, affecting the fortunes of mortals. The two are fundamentally different. Moreover, each time the Plague Department and the Smallpox Department cast their spells, countless mortals in a certain region perish; while the Department of Misfortune only targets the karma of a single immoral mortal. Their functions are worlds apart; how can they be confused?"

"The God of War is absolutely right!"

At this moment, the Third Prince Nezha stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when the Dao Ancestor established the Heavenly Court, his original intention was to guide the primordial human race onto the right path. Now that the two departments of 'Subduing Misfortune' and 'Relief from Calamity' have been established in the Pure and Turbid Palace, it will precisely enable mortals in the lower realms to develop a sense of awe for the Heavenly Dao, making them know that there are gods watching from above, and they will not dare to easily do evil, otherwise calamity will surely befall them. And those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue will also be able to continuously receive good fortune and dispel their own bad luck. Such a system of rewarding good and evil is truly a great virtue of the Heavenly Court!"

"good!"

The Jade Emperor nodded, then said, "If the Broom Star Lord wishes to govern this Pure and Turbid Palace, merely residing in the Thirty-Third Heavenly Court is insufficient. I hereby bestow upon you the Cangmang Mountain in the Southern Continent as your mortal training ground, where you may administer tribulations and deliver beings from calamities, and patrol the heavens on behalf of Heaven!"

Song Yi felt greatly relieved and immediately bowed respectfully again, saying, "This humble subject thanks the Great Heavenly Venerable for his boundless grace!"

The grand court assembly ended, and the Jade Emperor withdrew from court.

Song Yi first thanked Nezha for speaking out for justice, and then went directly to the Tian Shu Mansion to wait for Venus to return.

Venus is a trusted minister of the Jade Emperor. According to custom, after the grand court assembly, he would accompany the Great Heavenly Venerable to the Hall of Fragrant Breeze to discuss important matters in secret.

Song Yi waited quietly in the mansion for about three or four hours before he saw Venus step back into the Tianxiang Mansion.

"The Broom Star Lord is the only one among the 365 righteous gods on the Investiture of the Gods to be promoted to a divine position, which is truly rare," Venus said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to the Great Heavenly Venerable's benevolence," Song Yi said with a cupped hand and a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Venus took out a large seal from his sleeve.

The divine seal was square, its entire surface shimmering with brilliant innate divine patterns, which faintly coalesced into four large characters: "Exorcising Calamities and Overcoming Misfortune".

"This is a Dharma seal formed by the Great Celestial Venerable, who embodied the Heavenly Law in his mouth and condensed the sound of the Dao!"

Song Yi received it with both hands, and in an instant, a vast and powerful divine force surged out, flowing directly into his limbs and bones.

He immediately felt that his cultivation had reached the late stage of True Immortal.

This seal was formed by the Great Celestial Venerable using the power of the Heavenly Dao. Like the Western Relic, it is a source of power. Holding it allows one to control a portion of the Heavenly Dao's rules, just as the Fire God controls the law of fire and the Plague God controls the law of plague.

In addition, Venus took out two large seals, one for "reducing obscurity" and the other for "relieving calamity," both of which were seventh-rank divine offices.

Song Yi was quite pleased. According to his original estimate, the main gods of the Jianghui Division and the Jie'e Division should only be eighth-rank gods, on par with the Qingtianjian Director.

Now he has risen even higher, becoming a seventh-rank deity.

"The Great Celestial Venerable values ​​these two departments highly, and thus has granted them seventh-rank divine positions. Star Lord, you must make some achievements, and perhaps you can establish your own independent department in the future," said Venus.

"I will certainly live up to the high expectations of the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Heavenly Minister." Song Yi bowed deeply.

After leaving the Tianxiang Mansion, Song Yi first returned to the Qingtianjian.

Upon learning that their master had been promoted to the sixth-rank True Lord of Tribulation and Calamity, Song Mingyuan, Gou Yueniang, Xiong Ba, and their subordinates were overjoyed and stepped forward to congratulate him in unison.

Song Yi looked at Song Mingyuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mingyuan, after I descend to the mortal realm, all affairs of the Qingtian Bureau will be handed over to you from now on."

After saying that, he took out the Eighth-Rank Supervisor's Seal.

Song Mingyuan, his expression excited, bowed and accepted the order: "This great-grandson will certainly do his utmost and will never let the ancestor down!"

As for Xiong Ba from Moxia, Song Yi arranged for him to remain in Qingtianjian to guard the town.

Xiong Ba was originally a half-blood bear with a black body, and he had been tempered by the water of the Dragon Transformation Pool, so his bloodline was extraordinary.

Afterwards, he cultivated in the Heavenly Court, a sacred place for immortals, where there was an endless supply of elixirs and immortal fruits. In just three or four hundred years, he successfully stepped from the Earth Immortal realm to the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Gou Yueniang, who was traveling with him, had also made great progress in her cultivation. In particular, her supernatural ability to use the Poisonous Horse-Falling Stake was truly formidable and could be considered a powerful tool for scheming. Song Yi decided to take her with him to the mortal realm this time, as they might come in handy sometime.

"Great-grandfather, what about me?" Song Yu couldn't help but ask.

He now looks like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, with a handsome face, bright eyes, and a spirited demeanor.

"You will also come down to the mortal realm with me," Song Yi said with a smile.

Song Yu and Song Yao were siblings.

Previously, Song Yao was blessed with good fortune and was chosen by the Moon Goddess Heng'e to be her personal disciple.

Song Yu was raised by Song Yi's side, and even when the river was being dug, he was always by Song Yi's side, carefully teaching him.

In order to lay a solid foundation for him, Song Yi went so far as to personally ascend to the Sun Palace on the Sun Star and ask the Sun True Lord for a wisp of innate Sun True Fire, which helped Song Yu condense the Sun Sacred Body, which is one in ten thousand.

Afterwards, he used the Blood Bodhi to cleanse his marrow and tendons, and used the tea leaves of the Innate Enlightenment Tree to help him improve his enlightenment and foundation.

Now, Song Yu, like his sister Song Yao, has also reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.

Song Yi flipped his hand and took out a treasure, a three-foot-long sword.

This sword is entirely crimson red, exuding intense pure yang energy. Several golden flames are faintly engraved on the blade, flowing and dynamic as if they were alive.

"The mortal realm is not like the Heavenly Court. Demons and monsters roam the mortal world, and dangers abound. This sword is called the Pure Yang Sword. It was carefully crafted by me using innate Geng metal mixed with a strand of Shoushan red copper. A trace of Vermilion Bird True Fire is also sealed inside. It is most adept at suppressing evil and slaying external demons." Song Yi handed over the long sword.

"Thank you so much, Great-Grandpa, for bestowing this treasure!"

Song Yu took the Chunyang Sword with both hands, stroking the scorching hot blade, and was overjoyed.

After dismissing everyone and when the hall was empty, Song Yi took a deep breath and opened the control panel.

Name: Song Yi

[Divine Rank: True Lord Who Delivers from Calamity and Calamity (Rank 6)]

[Clerical authority: 2.85]

[A clerical rank with ≥5 authority unlocks the Gold Tier Lottery Pool]

[A clerical authority level of ≥8 unlocks the Prismatic Tier lottery pool]

The increase in the power of the clergy is due to two reasons: firstly, the clergy themselves have been elevated, and secondly, the establishment of the Purification and Turbidity Bureau has increased both the actual power of the clergy and the resources available for offerings.

Just as I was pondering this, a clear, cold voice appeared in my ear.

"Host's divine authority level is detected to be too low; only silver talismans can be activated. Activate?"

"Activate!" Song Yi murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, the panel in front of him began to vibrate slightly.

Accompanied by the celestial radiance, three talismans emitting a cool, silvery light slowly floated out from the light screen and hovered in mid-air.

[Exorcising spirits: It can summon and command local mountain gods and earth gods, and can also command underworld ghost messengers or heavenly guardian deities.]

[The Treasure Vase Seal: One of the 48,000 Dharma gates of Buddhism. Once activated, the vase can release boundless Buddhist light to defend against enemies, and can also devour all things in the heavens.]

【Fearless Lion Seal: One of the 48,000 Dharma gates of Buddhism, once used, it can condense the supreme Dharma form of the guardian lion of the Western Paradise】
