When Ling Dong left the Celestial Constellation Lord's residence, his brows were still furrowed. At first glance, he looked worried, as if he was worried about the future of the Central Town Star Field as the Heavenly Official.
After all, the strongest cultivator who had gone to the Central Town Star Field as the Heavenly Official had reached the Star Monarch Realm. However, he had still been defeated in the Central Town Star Field. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried.
However, even if he was worried about this, Ling Dong's worries were limited. No matter how terrifying the Central Town Star Field was, Ling Dong had the Myriad Stars House as his last resort. He wouldn't let his entire family be destroyed. Ling Dong was confident about this.
In fact, what Ling Dong was worried about or thinking about was the fifth Star Control Ring.
The fifth Star Control Ring had unexpectedly appeared on the finger of the Celestial Constellation Lord, Di Nading. This gave Ling Dong a headache and made him extremely worried.
In terms of cultivation, Di Nading was one of the most unfathomable existences that Ling Dong had ever seen besides the Star Monarch and the Vermilion Bird Matriarch.
Whether it was by force or by trickery, it was extremely impossible.
From this point of view, it was impossible for Ling Dong to obtain the fifth Star Control Ring, which could transform his strength, not to mention in a short period of time, even within a hundred years or hundreds of years.
Furthermore, Di Nankun had taken care of Ling Dong and protected Ling Dong's family. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Ling Dong didn't want to go against the Celestial Constellation Lord.
Ling Dong had always been an extremely grateful person. However, from Ling Dong's experience, the majority of the cultivators who possessed the Star Controlling Ring would, without exception, fall into opposition with Ling Dong. They would even clash with each other's weapons, and it would be either you die or I die.
This was the scene that Ling Dong didn't want to see the most. This was because when the time came, Ling Dong wouldn't know how to face Di Nankun. If Di Nankun had protected and nurtured Ling Dong in the past, he might have had other motives. However, Di Nankun's protection of the Ling family put Ling Dong in a dilemma.
No matter when, no matter how long it took, Ling Dong would eventually obtain the Star Control Ring. However, Ling Dong also had to repay Di Nankun's protection.
"Phew … I'll take it one step at a time. From the looks of it, obtaining the Star Control Ring from Heavenly Lord Di is still an extremely distant matter …" After pondering for a long time, Ling Dong shook his head with a bitter smile. He took out the Cloud Piercing Ship and instantly accelerated.
"Sect Master, in this old man's opinion, although Bu Yangming is the sect master's personal disciple and his status is sufficient, his cultivation is only at the Fifth Level Star Transformation Realm. Whether it's the Water Moon Domain or the Clear Wind Domain, he's not qualified for the position of Celestial Official." In an exquisite abode in the Wood Silk Domain's True Gang Sect, Grand Elder Qing Jiu's expression was stern as he rejected the sect master's suggestion.
Ling Dong's master, Hei Tian, was sitting on a chair beside him. He frowned and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Qing Jiu, there are two auxiliary Star Realms this time. Logically speaking, the sect master's lineage can take up the position of Celestial Official. The remaining position can be taken up by one of the four of us.
Although Bu Yangming's cultivation isn't high, he's advancing at lightning speed. Moreover, he's only taking up the position of Celestial Official in an insignificant auxiliary Star Realm. A cultivation of the Fifth or Sixth Level Star Transformation Realm is enough! "
As soon as Ling Dong's master, Hei Tian, finished speaking, Dan Shui, who was sitting beside Qing Jiu, immediately stood up and said coldly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Hei Tian, you're right. Bu Yangming is the sect master's personal disciple and is indeed qualified to take up the position of Celestial Official. With his Fifth Level Star Transformation Realm cultivation, he's barely qualified!
However, Senior Apprentice Brother Hei Tian, you must understand that he's only barely qualified. A Celestial Official of a Star Realm has to face many accidents. Our True Gang Sect has just taken up this important task. If the cultivation of the Celestial Official we send out is not enough, and the auxiliary Star Realm under our management is in trouble, how will we explain it to the Residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven?
If a big mess really happens, our True Gang Sect will lose face. However, if the auxiliary Star Realm is taken back by the Residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven, who will be responsible? Who will be responsible for the series of unfavorable consequences for our True Gang Sect? "
Hearing Dan Shui's aggressive words, Sect Master Shi Fangyuan, who was sitting in the middle, frowned. He helplessly looked at the empty seat next to Hei Tian and sighed softly.
Ling Dong's outstanding performance in the Vermillion Bird Star System's Thousand Year Elite Battle was something no one had expected. Even Hei Tian and Sect Master Shi Fangyuan did not expect Ling Dong to be so powerful.
Shi Fangyuan still remembered the first time he saw Huo Lin, who had just returned. Huo Lin was so excited that he blurted out the good news to him.
At that time, Shi Fangyuan was chewing on a mountain fruit. When he heard the news, he was instantly stunned. He was so stunned that he didn't even realize that the half-chewed mountain fruit in his mouth had flowed out onto his beard.
That image was so embarrassing that he was laughed at by Huo Lin for several months.
At that time, the entire True Dipper Sect was in a state of jubilation. However, after the Wood Puppet Realm distributed the rewards to the True Dipper Sect a few days ago, the joy slowly faded away. When it came to the distribution of benefits, trouble arose.
The distribution of Reiki, elixirs, Cosmic Treasures, and even Cosmic Treasures was easy to decide. After all, there were a lot of treasures, and the implications were not too big.
However, the distribution of the positions of the Celestial Officials of the two auxiliary Star Realms, which were the most profitable, was extremely difficult. Shi Fangyuan could no longer remember how many times he had discussed this with the three Grand Supreme Elders. Every time, they parted on bad terms.
This time, because the deadline for the appointment of the Celestial Officials was up, they had to come to a conclusion. The moment the discussion started, the tense atmosphere and the smell of gunpowder gave Shi Fangyuan a headache.
What gave Shi Fangyuan an even bigger headache was that in the past, the four Grand Supreme Elders, Hei Tian and Huo Lin were a pair, Qing Jiu and Dan Shui were a pair, and he, as the sect master, was always able to suppress Qing Jiu and Dan Shui.
However, this time, Grand Supreme Elder Huo Lin had gone to participate in the Vermilion Bird Galaxy's Elite Battle. He had watched countless battles and gained a lot of insights. When he returned, he suddenly sensed that he was about to break through his bottleneck. Two months ago, he announced that he would go into seclusion and hadn't come out yet.
The absence of Huo Lin's seclusion caused Hei Tian and the sect master's forces to shrink greatly. Especially without Huo Lin, Qing Jiu and Dan Shui's strength increased greatly.
Sect Master Shi Fangyuan had already proposed a few candidates for the Celestial Officials of the two auxiliary star realms, Water Moon Boundary and Cool Wind Boundary. However, Qing Jiu and Dan Shui found various reasons to reject them all. This was also related to Sect Master Shi Fangyuan's gentle temperament. Otherwise, Qing Jiu and Dan Shui wouldn't have been so arrogant.
Grand Supreme Elder Dan Shui's "Who will be responsible?" caused Hei Tian and Sect Master Shi Fangyuan to fall silent.
Seeing this, Grand Supreme Elder Qing Jiu and Dan Shui looked at each other. Joy flashed through their eyes.
Others didn't know how much benefits a Celestial Official entailed, but how could they not know? Not to mention the various treasures in Reiki, just the power to command the world was something that 99% of cultivators wouldn't be able to enjoy in their lifetime.
Not to mention the benefits involved in being a Celestial Officer. Especially the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Star Hall in the Residence of the Celestial Lord of the Wood Spider Domain to meditate after the assessment every ten years. This made Qing Jiu and Dan Shui extremely envious.
Although Celestial Officials only had the opportunity to enter the Minor Sky Star Hall once every 10 years, the amount of time they could spend in the Minor Sky Star Hall was something that the True Dipper Sect had never been able to achieve even after hundreds of years of accumulation. Even now, it would take at least a few decades.
Moreover, who would complain about having too many opportunities to meditate in a paradise like the Small Heaven Star Hall? It would only be too little.
"Almost all the disciples in the sect who are qualified have been mentioned. The disciple of Fire Descent, Qi Ruidong, you said that he didn't deserve the reward because he was defeated. As for Rong Zhongxiu and Bu Yangming, one of you said they weren't qualified, and the other said their cultivation wasn't enough!
This won't do, that won't do. Then the two of you, who will be the Celestial Officials of the Water Moon Domain and the Light Wind Domain? " The more Sect Master Shi thought about it, the more depressed he became. He couldn't help but hit the table in anger.
Seeing Sect Master Shi Fangyuan lose his composure and hit the table, Hei Tian, who was always calm, couldn't help but shake his head sadly. The Sect Master's anger gave Qing Jiu and Dan Shui a chance to take advantage of the situation.
At the same time, he had a premonition that one of the Celestial Officials of the two auxiliary Astral Realms of the Water Moon Domain and the Light Wind Domain would be given to Qing Jiu and Dan Shui.
This premonition made Hei Tian a little depressed. After all, these two auxiliary Astral Realms were won by his disciple, Ling Dong. Now, they would be given to someone else. However, he, Hei Tian, was only left with Ling Dong as his personal disciple.
However, when he thought that Ling Dong would be put in an important position by the Residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven, Hei Tian couldn't help but feel less depressed.
Hearing Sect Master Shi's angry words, Qing Jiu and Dan Shui's eyes flashed with a cunning smile.
At the same time, Qing Jiu and Dan Shui came forward and said loudly, "Sect Master, the Celestial Officials given by the Residence of the Celestial Lord of Heaven is a heavy responsibility. It is also an important test for our True Gang Sect. We are not talented, but we are willing to bear this heavy responsibility for our sect and be the pioneers. Even if we are old and tired, we will not hesitate!"
"What?" Hearing Qing Jiu and Dan Shui's words, Sect Master Shi couldn't help but be shocked by their appetite. After all this fuss, the two of them wanted to be the Celestial Officials themselves.
It wasn't easy to get these two Celestial Officials, and they wanted to take them all?!
Hei Tian's eyes were also filled with shock. However, what shocked him was Qing Jiu and Dan Shui's shamelessness!
Erebus had already experienced the shamelessness of Green Vulture and Dan Shui. However, he had never imagined that their skin would be so thick to the point of being shameless!
"Clap, clap, clap, clap …" Suddenly, the sound of clapping could be heard from outside the abode.
Even though Ling Dong had the urge to vomit after hearing what the two of them said, he still clapped his hands and walked into the abode. He said in a strange tone, "I'm impressed, I'm impressed. Even at such an old age, you still have to work hard for the sect. The two of you are really the 'role models' of the sect!"
