Chapter 2: The Heavenly Messenger

However, he still appears to be inexperienced, certainly not as accurate as Lin Quan, who has decades of experience. Therefore, he generally asks this steward, Lin Quan, for guidance.

However, such prominent figures, along with their significant influence, are indeed a minority in this world, and can be counted on one hand. Aside from them, who would dare to underestimate the ruler of the heavenly court, the sovereign of the three realms?

However, the reason... he can actually guess a little.

In a previous life on Earth, how many practitioners secluded themselves in the mountains and forests, diligently meditating day and night, hoping that one day they could attain enlightenment and ascend to the celestial realm

Upon thinking of this, Mu Changsheng felt a surge of emotions.

Who are these people

noon

He clenched his fist tightly, and his gaze gradually became resolute: "Since I didn't perish last time, I shall accept the situation and strive to live well in this world!"

Although being reborn as an immortal feels quite perplexing to him, in this world plagued by demons and monsters, it is certainly better than being an ordinary mortal

Butler Lin Quan was waiting for Mu Changsheng to finish his bath

It is indeed quite troublesome with these deities; they could have simply taken him to the Heavenly Court in one go, yet they insist on issuing a decree first and then sending someone to fetch him.

Seeing so many people arrive while he was bathing with the shepherd Changsheng, Lin Quan was also taken aback

Of course, he also knows that two hours on Earth correspond to one shichen here. Additionally, due to the relatively good financial situation of the牧府 family, they also possess a sundial and an hourglass at home

Having come to this realization, the fear and anxiety that had been weighing on Mu Changsheng's heart due to his rebirth were suddenly cast aside. He immediately felt a wave of relief wash over him from head to toe.

Although in the east there are the Three Pure Ones and in the west there are the Two Saints of Buddhism, while in the lower realms there are demons rampaging, it can be said that these forces do not fear the Heavenly Court. Therefore, the Jade Emperor, as the ruler of the Three Realms, holds a position that is somewhat inflated.

Without saying anything else, if one day the power went out in a past life and all electrical devices ceased to function, then many people would understand what their current feelings truly are

Upon hearing the explanation, Mu Changsheng understood that the news of his ascension to immortality had already spread, and these people had all come to join in the excitement

Saying this, Mu Changsheng turned and entered the hall ahead

Young master, they have heard that you will ascend to immortality today, so they have all come to witness your ascension.

Lin Quan glanced at the sundial in the courtyard and replied

After Mu Changsheng put on his clothes and came out, Lin Quan quickly called a maid to style Mu Changsheng's hair, which was finally secured with a jade hairpin.

Unfortunately, although the ascetic monk Changsheng has seen many on television and the internet, he has never heard of anyone who could achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.

Although there are demons rampant in this world now, posing certain dangers, is the Earth not dangerous at all?

In this world, there are not twenty-four hours, but only twelve time periods. Apart from sundials and hourglasses, the only way to tell the time is to estimate it by observing the sun in the sky

Then they descend to the mortal realm and call themselves heavenly beings, naturally they must put on a show, and they can also display their superiority over mortals in front of them, why not take pleasure in that

As they walked into the front hall, Mu Changsheng inquired

At this moment, they all rushed eagerly, their eyes fixed on the courtyard of Mu Changsheng's home, fearing that missing even a glance would result in a loss.

After losing the assistance of electronic devices such as his mobile phone and watch, Mu Changsheng felt truly useless. Of course, it was not just him; people from his previous life would likely feel the same without those items.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door, drawing everyone's attention as they all looked up and turned their gazes towards the sky

He remembered that a few days ago, the celestial messenger from the Heavenly Court, who had come to deliver a message to him, mentioned that the time for the Heavenly Court's envoy to come and take him away seemed to be at this noon

Perhaps in this world, one could live comfortably, serving as a minor deity or official in the heavenly realm, and obtain something like immortality, leading a life of ease and comfort that is a thousand times better than the previous life

On Earth, I am merely a destitute individual with nothing to my name, lacking a car, a house, and savings, making it perhaps very difficult to find a wife in the future

Car accidents, earthquakes, various natural and man-made disasters... are they not all equally deadly?

Today he ascends to immortality, to be received by the celestial emissaries and taken to the sacred and solemn Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao, to pay respects to the Jade Emperor and the multitude of deities, thus he must dress in a clean manner

Hey, everyone, look up at the sky, the celestial beings have arrived

Being stared at by thousands of eyes made him very uncomfortable; he felt as if he were like the monkeys in a zoo in a past life, confined behind iron bars for people's amusement

Mu Changsheng was taken aback; wasn't it already noon?

Oh, immortal being, I am about to become an immortal myself

Fortunately, although I am unfortunate, the silver lining in my misfortune is that I am about to ascend to the heavens and meet the legendary Jade Emperor and the various deities of the heavenly court

Outside the house

To be honest, although he has been in this world for seven days, he has not yet adapted to the concept of time, as they used to have twenty-four hours, along with various devices such as watches and mobile phones to tell the time

Mu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "The celestial envoy is coming soon, so it is better not to create unnecessary complications. They can only watch and cannot do anything. Since they want to see, let them be. I will go to the front hall, and they will not be able to see me."

After grooming, Mu Changsheng and Lin Quan arrived at the front yard

Especially that clock I encountered this time, it truly sent me off in a daze. I clearly never provoked it nor did anything to it, yet it came knocking on my door all on its own

At this moment, a sacrificial table has been set up in the front yard, adorned with incense candles, yellow paper offerings, fruits, and tribute items, along with a deity seat for the Jade Emperor

Seeing the people outside the door, Mu Changsheng asked Lin Quan

Young master, it is already noon

Lin Quan was unclear about Mu Changsheng's attitude towards these people, so he tentatively asked, "Young Master, shall we close the main door to prevent them from disturbing your important matter of becoming an immortal?"

Upon thinking of this, Mu Changsheng could not help but let out a sigh, followed by a self-deprecating smile

What is the Heavenly Realm? It is the place where the deities reside, assisting the Jade Emperor in governing the Three Realms. It is no exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Court is the most formidable and the largest force among the Three Realms

At this moment, the two grand red lacquer doors of the牧府 are wide open, guarded by two imposing stone lions at the entrance

Forget it

He glanced at the sun in the sky, calculated the time, and realized that there was still some time before the hour set by the heavenly court for his ascension. Therefore, he did not urge Mu Changsheng inside any further, but continued to wait outside the door, waiting for Mu Changsheng to finish his bath and come out.

However, Mu Changsheng was taken aback, as the crowd outside the door was densely packed, filled with people. At a glance, it was impossible to discern how many there were; at the very least, it must have been in the thousands.

"Lin Bo, what time is it now?"

After finishing his bath, Mu Changsheng changed into another moon-white robe that Lin Quan had already prepared for him
