Parasite Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from breeding the love Obsession parasite Chapter 2166: 647: Heaven Court's Imperial Examination—Becoming a Deity Through Testing

“A divine hierarchy? To possess absolute authority over a vast territory?”

“And on top of that, to be shielded by fortune while boosting the speed of one’s cultivation?”

“If those are the benefits, wouldn't the seat of a City Lord be a target of extreme competition?”

The Executioner Immortal King grasped the profound implications of this divine hierarchy immediately.

Within the Immortal World, artifacts or methods capable of assisting Immortals in their Cultivation are exceptionally scarce.

If the act of refining a divine seal granted such advantages, an endless number of Immortals would surely fight for the chance.

After all, for any Immortal, even a marginal gain in cultivation efficiency is considered a massive blessing.

Regardless of the price, such an advantage would be worth any sacrifice.

“It is indeed a fierce struggle,” Li Changchun remarked.

“Since the true effects of the divine seal became public knowledge, a tidal wave of Immortals has sought to enter the Heaven Court, hoping to serve as officials and refine their own divine seals.”

“However, securing an official post within the Heaven Court is no simple feat.”

“Only the elite among the elite are ever selected.”

“Because of this, the Heaven Court organizes periodic examinations, opening the doors for countless Immortals to test their mettle.”

“Only those who successfully pass these rigorous tests are permitted to serve as officials in the Heaven Court.”

“These examinations generally occur once every million years.”

“To the masses of Immortals, this is viewed as the ultimate chance to ascend to true greatness.”

Every time the Heaven Court’s imperial examinations commenced, Li Changchun found himself in awe.

The number of Immortals registering for the trials was staggering, like a stampede of ten thousand soldiers trying to cross a single-log bridge at once.

Success meant a total transformation of one's destiny, signaling a bright and hopeful path forward on the Dao.

No matter how insignificant their origin, becoming an official of the Heaven Court meant they were now superior to their peers.

Their future would be filled with limitless potential.

“I see.”

The Executioner Immortal King was left in a daze by these revelations. It felt nearly impossible to believe, as the system mirrored the imperial examinations used by mortal kingdoms. He never imagined such a thing would be applied to the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm.

And yet, he had to admit it was a highly effective strategy.

Given the sheer volume of talented Immortals in the world, the desire to join the Heaven Court was universal.

Naturally, a strict selection process through imperial exams was the only logical way to manage it.

Once an Immortal attains an official rank in the Heaven Court, they stand far above the rest, possessing a future without end.

Cultivating within the ranks of the Heaven Court had become the ultimate goal for the majority of Immortals.

“Furthermore, being the City Lord of a region offers more than just a boost to one's Cultivation,” added several Cultivators from the Qingyun Sect during their heated discussion.

“By commanding a territory, one essentially taps into the collective power of that entire land.”

“This grants Heaven Court officials the ability to exert overwhelming force, enough to crush any opposition.”

“Within their own domain, they are considered the most powerful Immortals.”

“Should anyone dare to instigate trouble within the city walls, the City Lord can apprehend them in a heartbeat.”

“Consequently, the cities throughout the Immortal World have become incredibly secure; no one dares to disturb the peace.”

“Violent crimes like murder or the theft of treasures have been nearly wiped out; they are now extremely rare occurrences.”

The group reflected on how the Immortal World had undergone a massive metamorphosis over the last ten billion years.

In the past, every city and region in the Immortal World was fraught with peril.

A single lapse in vigilance could result in being targeted by bandits, leading to a swift death and the loss of one's treasures.

But since the divine hierarchy system was implemented across the realms, such crimes had practically vanished.

A City Lord possesses the power to monitor everything within their borders, sensing the presence of every individual and even perceiving recent events in the area.

Therefore, no matter the crime, the City Lord is alerted instantly and can track down the perpetrator with ease.

It was as if the city were filled with an infinite number of surveillance eyes, leaving no corner hidden.

This reality has instilled a deep sense of dread in many Immortals, stripping away any hope of getting away with a crime.

Even if someone harbors dark intentions, the fear of the inevitable consequences keeps them in check, resulting in a remarkably stable social order.

Nowadays, the situation has reached a point where people don't even bother picking up lost items on the street or locking their doors at night—a truly shocking change.

“It’s no wonder the cities I traveled through were so peaceful.”

“So, it was all because of this divine hierarchy?”

“If the deities of the Heaven Court are stationed in every corner of the Immortal World, then naturally, no one would dare to act out of line.”

The Executioner Immortal King finally understood.

By nature, he was an Immortal King who loathed evil, unable to stomach corruption or the sight of the weak being wronged.

In the past, whenever he caught someone breaking celestial laws, he would execute them without a second thought.

Yet, despite the blood he spilled, the Immortal World remained unchanged, and the general conduct of the Human clan never truly improved.

At best, people were temporarily frightened into submission, but the same old vices would always return after a while.

This had often left the Executioner Immortal King feeling a sense of futility, unsure of how to truly wipe out such darkness.

Who could have predicted that the rise of the divine hierarchy would bring about such a radical shift in the Immortal World?

This was the very future he had once envisioned, yet it was the Xuan Huang Immortal King who had finally made it a reality.

He found himself at a loss for words.

“Indeed, no one is foolish enough to try anything,” Li Changchun continued.

“Even if a criminal is powerful enough to evade a City Lord’s initial pursuit, it won't matter.”

“The Immortal World is vast, but nearly all of it falls under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Court.”

“Once a Heaven Court bounty is declared, the culprit essentially has nowhere left to run.”

“Even if they flee to the most remote corners of existence, they only find a dead end waiting for them.”

“In fact, over the last ten billion years, every single person who violated the heavenly laws has been caught without fail.”

“This has pushed the criminal element into a state of total despair.”

“Nowadays, if someone does commit a crime, they usually choose to stay put and turn themselves in, hoping that a voluntary surrender might earn them a lighter sentence.”
