Chapter 214: Chapter 214: The Jade Emperor Who Was Tricked by the Old Lord!

Translator: 549690339

Looking at the various auspicious signs and the divine power emanating from the sky above his Star Lord Palace, he couldn’t fail to understand what had happened.

“Xu..Xuanqing Daoist friend, what is this…?” Star Lord Taibai’s voice trembled slightly, almost dropping the duster from his hand.

Hearing this.

Xuanqing chuckled bitterly and nodded his head, “That’s right, I just mentioned that one day in Heaven equals a year on earth!”

“Now that two days have passed in Heaven, two years have passed on earth. It is normal for me to be promoted again…uh…it’s normal.”

Normal?

Even with Star Lord Taibai’s cultivation, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He really couldn’t understand how someone just promoted to Secondary Fourth-Rank, had only two days pass and, well, two years in the Human World, would get another promotion to Fourth-Rank.

This…this, is it called normal?

At this moment.

Inside the Star Lord Palace.

The gods were also reacting to the heavenly phenomena, which were the scenes of Immortal Officers Promotion, and they looked at each other in disbelief.

Silence!

Unusual silence!

Not a single immortal at the scene spoke, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief, and their hearts were already shaken by the two days’ advancement of the Immortal Official.

After an unknown amount of time.

“Ahern-”

A cough broke the silence, and the gods suddenly awoke from their stupor.

The sound came from above the main hall, and it was… the Right Deputy Celestial Envoy who had shocked all the immortals, soon to be the Left Deputy Celestial Envoy.

“Fellow Daoist Friends, there is no need to be surprised by my promotion once again!”

“As they say, one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth, and since I ascended to heaven, I have spent two days there while two years have passed on earth.”

“So… one promotion in two years, it’s quite normal, isn’t it!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

At first glance, they seemed to make sense, but in fact, they couldn’t stand scrutiny, as such a rate of promotion had never occurred in the history of the Heavenly Court.

However.

Those who attended the banquet, more or less, knew that Daoist Xuanqing had a ‘deep background,’ and even if they knew that his words were not true, no one was foolish enough to refute them.

“Well, what the Right Deputy Celestial Envoy says makes sense…”

“It would be impossible for anyone else to be promoted in two years, but for Daoist Xuanqing, it’s indeed normal.”

“Hahaha, Daoist Xuanqing has extraordinary luck and is destined for greatness, it’s quite normal!”

The shock in the eyes of the gods had not dissipated.

But on the surface, they all nodded and smiled, agreeing with Xuanqing’s one day in heaven, one year on earth theory.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanqing chuckled awkwardly and bowed with a bit of embarrassment.

He seriously suspected that if there were any debate competitions in the Heavenly Court, he would surely win by giving a speech on the theme of “My Great Master, Elder Zhenyuan…”.

Just as Star Lord Palace was shocked by Xuanqing’s Immortal Officer Promotion.

The Golden Palace of Clouds in the Thirty-Third Heaven.

The Jade Emperor’s eyes were closed, leaning back on his Purple Gold Dragon

Throne…with a look of enjoyment on his face.

More importantly.

In his hand… was a fleshy-pink, baby-faced fruit with a bite taken out of it.

*Sigh~*

“If I were to compare their deliciousness, this Ginseng Fruit is even better…hmm?”

The Jade Emperor opened his eyes, unable to resist a soft exclamation.

He first looked down at the Ginseng Fruit in his hand, then glanced toward the direction of the Star Lord Mansion in the Nine Heavens.

♦Snicker- No wonder, no wonder!”

A look of sudden realization appeared on the Jade Emperor’s face.

After Xuanqing’s conferment ceremony, the Old Lord of the Douluo Palace sent some elixirs and ten Ginseng Fruits.

At the time, he thought that the Old Lord was expressing his gratitude for conferring Xuanqing as Secondary Fourth-Rank, and didn’t think too much about it.

At this moment.

He finally understood.

It turns out that these Ginseng Fruits… besides expressing gratitude, also had this added meaning.

“Forget it, forget it-”

The Jade Emperor sighed bitterly and swallowed the Ginseng Fruit with a bite.

“Come here, pass on my edict, let the Lingxiao Bao Hall open again… for the conferment ceremony!”

“Yes!

A god-man guard knelt on one knee, answering loudly, his eyes also filled with shock because there was a court meeting just two days ago, and now they were going to have another court meeting.

Accompanied by the Jade Emperor’s decree.

In the minds of all the immortals in the Heavenly Court, there was the sound of Lingxiao Bao Hall opening again for the conferment court meeting.

Suddenly.

It was like a drop of cold water falling into boiling hot oil, the whole thing blew up.

Because the decree did not mention any names and only asked all the gods to attend the conferment court meeting, they did not think that Xuanqing was being promoted again.

Instead, they thought that it was really outrageous that the Human Race, as the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, had one Daoist Immortal Officer ascend just a few days before and now had another Daoist ascending.

They didn’t know if the chins of these gods would drop when they learned that the same Daoist was behind the two conferment court meetings.

Heavenly Master Mansion.

After Xuanqing left, the three Heavenly Masters did not disperse but felt it was rare to have a gathering in so many years, so they continued to drink tea and play chess.

“I’ll take one of your pieces!”

“Haha, you’re in… Huh?”

Zhang Heavenly Master and Ge Heavenly Master sat opposite each other at a chessboard, while Xu Heavenly Master was watching the battle on one side.

At the moment the Jade Emperor’s decree sounded.

They looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Who… was promoted again?

“It shouldn’t be. Among the Daoist Immortal Officers in the Human World now, Daoist Friend Xuanqing has already advanced, and although Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty also has the potential to ascend, it shouldn’t be now.”

“It is a bit strange!”

“Let’s go take a look at which Daoist friend from our Human Race has advanced again-”

Zhang Heavenly Master and Ge Heavenly Master stopped playing chess.

They never thought that Xuanqing had been promoted to Immortal again and assumed that there was a new Daoist in the Human Race ascending.

Lingxiao Bao Hall.

Just like before.

Various immortals gathered on both sides of the main hall.

Under the support of the two fairy girls holding the five Ming fans and a group of ritual officers, the Jade Emperor went to the highest throne of the main hall.

The Jade Emperor nodded to the ritual officer beside him.

Then.

The ritual officer bowed slightly, stepped forward, and shouted loudly outside the main hall:

“Announcing… Right Deputy Immortal Minister of Taiji Palace and Deputy Commander of Five Thunder and Leader of Thunder Department Affairs… Daoist Xuanqing!”

As soon as these words were uttered.

Boom!

The floodgate was opened.

Except for the immortals who went to the Star Lord Mansion to attend the promotion banquet.

All other immortals showed expressions of horror.

This… this is just a gap of two days, and both of the conferment ceremonies are for the same Daoist person.

Incredible, unbelievable!

The shocked emotions of the gods in the main hall did not affect Xuanqing in the pavilion.

After the ritual officer announced the audience.

Just like two days ago.

Xuanqing walked at an unhurried pace, passing through the long corridor

Stepping into the Lingxiao Bao Hall!

Ignoring the shocked eyes of the gods, he came to the center of the main hall, facing the figure on the high platform… and bowed slightly.

“Your servant… pays his respects to the Jade Emperor!

With the words “your servant… pays his respects to the Jade Emperor”

All the immortals came to their senses, even disregarding the rule that there should be no noise in Lingxiao Bao Hall, whispering to each other and talking in hushed voices to vent their shock.

“My beloved official, I am planning to…”

“Wait a minute!

At this point.

An untimely voice came from one side of the main hall, attracting everyone’s attention..
