Chapter 001: The Broom Star of the Heavenly Court
Alright, to make a long story short, I have important matters to attend to! Here is this item for you
"Disciple, Master is suffering!" The Broom Star sighed and then slowly said: "As everyone knows, since the creation of the heavens and the earth, I have been the only Broom Star in the Heavenly Court, responsible for cleaning various areas of the Heavenly Court. But do you know how vast the Heavenly Court is? The Thirty-Three Heavens span a total of thirty million kilometers. I have been sweeping for thirty-four thousand years and still have not managed to clean the Heavenly Court properly. Now I am old and no longer capable, and I just want to find someone to help me..." The Thirty-Three Heavens span a total of thirty million kilometers. I have been sweeping for thirty-four thousand years and still have not managed to clean the Heavenly Court properly. Now I am old and no longer capable, and I just want to find someone to help me...
Gao Yang's face was filled with frustration, as he did not expect that his master was also a lecherous person
You must call the master
Gao Yang was startled by the sudden voice, and when he turned around with wide-open eyes to see the person's face clearly, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
After saying these words, the broom star transformed into a beam of golden light and vanished
Gao Yang pondered to himself, wondering if it was possible that you casually threw down a brick, and whoever it hit would become your disciple
Disciple, you are truly clever; you are indeed worthy of being my disciple
The Shamate uncle looked at him, shook his head, and sighed, saying: "What a misfortune for the master! How did I end up with such a disciple? Even daring to hit the master! Truly ... ... "
This person is completely like a Shamate uncle
Rubbing his somewhat sore backside, Gaoyang then looked at the broom star and asked, "Master, could you explain to me what exactly is going on? Where exactly is this place? And why have I come here? You said I am your disciple? What does that mean?"
As soon as this idea emerged in his mind, the shooting star suddenly sprang up, excitedly patting him on the shoulder several times.
Alright, alright, I shall take my leave now. Your tasks and the matters you should pay attention to are all contained within that token. You should return and study it carefully. If there is anything you do not understand, just shout my name three times at the token, and I will know. Today is your first day, so I won't make you work just yet. Come back to work tomorrow! You little rascal, remember to do your best!
By the way, Master, you said that in the future, the task of cleaning the Heavenly Court will be entrusted to me. So where are you going?
At that moment, he found himself completely unable to move
Remarkable! I originally thought this inexpensive master was merely a janitor in the heavenly court, but I never expected him to have such a profound background, being the Lord of the Heavenly Wrath Star! In his prime, even the Monkey King had not yet been born. I truly have struck it rich; although he has now been demoted to a broom star, the prestige he once held cannot simply be dismissed!
Before him stood a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen garments, wearing tattered straw sandals, with a disheveled appearance and a gaunt face. However, what caught Gao Yang's attention the most was his exaggerated hairstyle, which resembled a broom.
The broom star reminds us
Place it on your spiritual platform
He remembered that he had attended an interview at a company today, but he still failed the interview. Just as he was about to leave, something suddenly fell from the sky and hit him on the head. He felt a darkness before losing consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this inexplicable place
Gao Yang was greatly shocked, what on earth is going on? How is it that with just a single word, the other person is unable to move? Could this be the legendary immobilization technique? And who is this so-called "Comet" uncle in front of me? What is the relationship with the master and disciple?
Gao Yang was immobilized and unable to dodge, and each strike of the broom landed solidly on his backside. It was painful, but more than that, it was simply too embarrassing.
You said, you said, I, your disciple, will definitely work hard!
Gao Yang, feeling a bit numb on his shoulder from being hit by the broom star, smiled helplessly. Using this method to select disciples, he could be considered a master without precedent or successor.
In a state of unconsciousness, Gaoyang felt as if he had transformed into a person born in the primordial era, following the Yellow Emperor to battle against Chiyou, displaying unparalleled bravery. Then, the scene flashed again, and he found himself in the War of the Gods, accompanying Jiang Shang to attack the tyrannical Shang dynasty. Unfortunately, he met his demise, yet his name had long been inscribed on the List of Deities. On the Fengshen Platform, he was conferred the title of the Heavenly Wrath Star Lord, presiding over the celestial laws. However, due to his carefree nature, the Jade Emperor was greatly displeased with him. Subsequently, due to a trivial matter, he was demoted to the position of the Broom Star, responsible for the hygiene of the heavenly realm. Thus, thirty thousand years had passed.
Just as Gao Yang was feeling somewhat at a loss, an excited voice suddenly rang out from behind him, followed by a heavy slap on his shoulder that nearly knocked him to the ground
Gao Yang felt somewhat speechless, but still obediently opened his mouth to call out a few times to his master. After all, not everyone has such an opportunity to take a celestial being as their master. Who knows, if he could make the master happy, he might be given a few divine artifacts. In the mortal realm, even a brick or a tile from the heavenly court could be considered a treasure!
His mind was racing quickly; based on what the broom star had just said, he had already understood that this broom star was most likely a deity. If he is a deity, could it be that this place is the heavenly court
The broom star reminds us
Just as Gao Yang was about to raise his fist, that eccentric uncle pointed a finger at him and said, "Freeze!"
Gao Yang felt a surge of anger in his heart, realizing that it was you who had just hit me with a brick
Hey! Finally willing to acknowledge me as your master, aren't you
Gao Yang hurriedly said
This information is actually about the experiences of the Comet before. The Comet was careless when taking the token and unexpectedly handed over its own token to Gao Yang. By the time it realized, it was already too late, as this information had long since flooded into Gao Yang's mind
Where was I? Oh right, I wanted to find someone to assist me. You must know that the recruitment in the Heavenly Court is quite strict. My report was submitted five hundred years ago, and it was only today that the Jade Emperor approved it. Originally, according to the Jade Emperor's requirements, candidates were to be selected from the immortals who ascended from the mortal realm. However, due to severe pollution in the mortal realm over the past thousand years, the spiritual energy has been greatly depleted, resulting in no one ascending for a millennium. Moreover, the existing deities in the Heavenly Court value their sacred bodies highly, and no one is willing to take on such a task. That is why I sought you out.
Gao Yang stared blankly at the vast expanse of white space before him, where there were no discernible features, and the silence was somewhat terrifying
With a flick of his hand, the token in Gao Yang's hand flew towards the broom star, and then another token fell into Gao Yang's hand
This time he learned to behave, quickly displaying a harmless smile as he looked at the uncle with the unique hairstyle and said, "Excuse me, may I ask what place this is?"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly surrendered, saying: "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong! I promise I will never dare to do it again next time!"
Gao Yang said with a grin: "Master, I never expected that you were so impressive back in the day! You were simply extraordinary and incredibly cool!"
The information regarding the token was exceedingly vast, and in his stupor, Gao Yang seemed to have experienced several tens of thousands of years. However, in reality, only a few seconds had passed. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze towards the comet became filled with immense admiration.
Seeing Gaoyang in a daze, the uncle with the unique hairstyle furrowed his brows and looked at him with concern, saying: "Oh, could it be that the brick just now knocked some sense out of him? I should have chosen a smaller one..."
Gao Yang reached out to take it, and saw that it was a palm-sized, exquisitely crafted and ancient-looking token, on which the traditional character for 'sweep' was engraved
What happened next indeed confirmed his thoughts. He saw the comet reach behind him and casually pull out a broom, then proceeded to beat him on the backside, chanting: "This is what you get for insulting me as an old fool, for not respecting your teacher. I am a celestial being; is it strange that I can hear your thoughts?"
The Broom Star nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very well, then from now on, the task of cleaning the Heavenly Court will be entrusted to you. Take good care of this token, as it is your pass for entering and exiting the Heavenly Court. Be sure not to lose it. To be on the safe side, it would be better for you to let it recognize its master first!"
Master, aren't immortals supposed to be ageless
Old thing, just trying to take advantage of me
Gao Yang felt a surge of joy in his heart; it turns out that the items in this heavenly realm can still be recognized by blood! Now, the item is directly imprinted on his wrist, making it impossible to discard!
Gao Yang agreed while lifting the token and pressing it against his forehead. Almost instantly, an immense amount of information surged into his mind, causing him to black out and faint.
At the very moment he fainted, he suddenly saw the comet take out a token from his pocket, then looked at himself in shock, murmuring, "Oh no, I took the wrong one..."
The Comet Star then grasped Gaoyang's hand, her fingernail gently gliding over a drop of fresh blood before falling onto the token. The token emitted a dazzling light, flying towards Gaoyang's right wrist. After the light dissipated, a mark appeared on Gaoyang's wrist.
The broom star cast a sidelong glance at Gaoyang and said, "Are you the master or am I the master?"
Gao Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Of course it is you, please continue, please continue!"
The broom star glared at him and said: "You little brat, stop flattering and focus on doing your work well!"
While speaking, he was also holding a brick in his hand
Having originally failed the interview, he felt a surge of anger within him. Then, for no apparent reason, he was struck by a brick in this inexplicable place. Following that, he encountered this bewildering uncle with a unique hairstyle, which only intensified his anger. He clenched his fists and prepared to fight.
The comet spoke, and then pulled out an object from the torn pocket on his body and threw it to Gao Yang
The comet's face lit up with joy, and he casually tossed aside the broom in his hand. Then, with a beaming smile, he looked at Gaoyang and said: "Come, disciple, call out once more and let me hear it!"
Alright, alright! Good disciple, I shall now grant you the revelation!
Gao Yang interrupted.
The broom star spoke, then blew a breath towards Gaoyang, lifting the immobilization spell. Gaoyang relaxed his body and returned to normal.
The broom star spoke while weighing a brick in hand
Gao Yang secretly cursed under his breath, but just as he finished cursing in his heart, the broom star's brows furrowed again. Gao Yang thought to himself, this is bad, could it be that the broom star knows what I am thinking?
Looking at Gao Yang's admiring gaze, the Broom Star shook his head helplessly, blaming himself for being careless, having actually given his own token to Gao Yang. However, at this point, there was no way to remedy the situation, so he decided to go along with the mistake.
Oh, I heard that a group of fairies has recently arrived from beyond the heavens, each one more beautiful than the last! I was preparing to... cough cough!" Realizing that he had let something slip, the Comet Star quickly cleared his throat a few times and changed his words: "Actually, I was preparing to find a tranquil place to cultivate properly, as my cultivation has fallen too far behind in the past few thousand years...
Disciple!
After a few calls from the master, the broom star felt a bit lightheaded. Seeing that the situation was about the same, Gaoyang hurriedly said: "Master, please hurry and untie me! This is quite uncomfortable!"
Where am I
Oh!
