World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 540

When it comes to dealing with demons, the efficiency of the celestial realm is exceptionally high.

Before long, a disciple on duty outside the mountain gate came to report, "Sect Leader, the Day Touring Ghost under the Southern Emperor has come to visit."

Xu Jin Kui looked at Du Ge.

Du Ge said, "Just two minor deities, you handle it."

Xu Jin Kui nodded and instructed, "Let them in."

The Five Sacred Emperors are gods of the land appointed by the Celestial Emperor, nominally mountain gods, but with the title of Emperor, their authority is vast.

Each of the Emperors governs different aspects of the mortal world, including rewards and punishments, wealth and status, the underworld, mountains, rivers, beasts, and birds.

They fall under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Emperor.

Under the Five Sacred Emperors are the Day and Night Touring Ghosts, the Four Duty Gods, the Dingjia Gods, and various local mountain and earth gods. Although their rank may not match that of Master Xu, who holds an official position in the celestial realm, they are true deities with real power.

...

The Day and Night Touring Ghosts are yin deities, appointed by mortal emperors, just like the City and Earth Gods.

Even the emperor of a small country like New Moon has the right to appoint yin deities.

The reason why cultivation sects in the mortal world seek to curry favor with mortal emperors is precisely for these divine positions.

Because cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage with poor aptitude and nearing the end of their lifespan, and Integration stage beings with no hope of crossing tribulations, unwilling to enter reincarnation, will ask the emperor for an appointment.

With a divine position, these individuals can survive as yin deities, retaining most of their strength from life, but once they become yin deities, they are forever bound, unable to advance their cultivation, remaining at the lowest tier of the celestial realm's power hierarchy, with little chance of achieving anything greater.

Most ambitious cultivators do not wish to become yin deities.

Dragon and Tiger Mountain was once just one of these ordinary sects, but ever since Xu Wen'an ascended to become a Celestial Master in the celestial realm, Dragon and Tiger Mountain has received abundant resources from the upper realm, and it's rare for an Elemental Infant cultivator not to reach the Integration stage.

Those at the Integration stage must take their chances with tribulation to ascend and become true immortals, after all, Dragon and Tiger Mountain's foundation lies in the celestial realm, not the mortal world.

And crossing tribulations means either ascension or death, with little chance of becoming a yin deity, as surviving the lightning tribulation is extremely unlikely.

So, later on, Dragon and Tiger Mountain rarely competed with these small sects for yin deity positions.

...

Two Day Touring Ghosts came to visit Dragon and Tiger Mountain, revealing themselves and being led to the Celestial Master's Hall by the disciples of Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

The two wore blue robes, with badges of day patrol hanging at their waists, and greeted Xu Jin Kui with cupped fists, "Day Touring Ghost Geng Zhong (Liu Tong) greets Sect Leader Xu."

"Please have a seat, Messengers of God," Xu Jin Kui said with a warm smile. "Someone, serve tea to the Messengers."

"Sect Leader Xu, there's no need for tea," Geng Zhong said with a smile. "We came here to find your sect's disciple, Liao Jiulong, to ask him some questions."

"It's about the assassin of Prince Duan, isn't it?" Xu Jin Kui asked directly.
