I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 39: Cleaning the Guanghan Palace

The heavenly calamity grew even more intense, and the Taiyin star in the sky unexpectedly became brighter.

Within the terrifying gusts of wind and tornadoes, there was a mixture of the chilling aura that had accumulated on the surface of the Taiyin star over billions of years.

Once exposed to this chilling aura, even elite meteorite iron cultivators would immediately freeze into powder, let alone fragile physical bodies. If things went wrong, their souls would scatter, leaving no trace of their remains.

If Xia Yi had achieved the first level of the Golden Body, perhaps he could withstand the Tribulation with his physical body. But for now, he could only do his best to resist.

A tornado larger than a mountain could be seen from afar, as if the sky was collapsing. Within its grayish-white body, countless black ice fragments were mixed in. Its roaring and rumbling could be heard for thousands of miles, like countless heavenly thunders erupting.

Xia Yi summoned twenty-four Hai Ding pearls, each the size of a rice bowl, releasing countless rays of light and colorful brilliance. They shot towards the tornado in the sky with a "whoosh."

Although these Hai Ding pearls were just knock-offs, they were equivalent to Law Treasures refined by Celestial Immortals, and their power should not be underestimated.

The violent tornado, like an evil dragon, was immediately dispersed by the collision with these twenty-four pearls, transforming into hundreds of small tornadoes, completely losing its previous momentum.

Those hundreds of small tornadoes were blocked by the golden lotuses, and their intensity was no longer as fierce as before. They slowly moved in mid-air, inch by inch, pressing downwards.

This was the power of the Apricot Yellow Flag.

Although the third wind calamity was temporarily blocked, it was far from over. Larger tornadoes continued to form from time to time.

Moreover, the Taiyin star in the sky became even brighter, with waves of chilling aura following one after another. The immortal islands floating in the surrounding area encountered the chilling aura and were instantly frozen. After being blown by the Nine Heavens Gust, they immediately exploded, with flying debris, as if it were the end of the world.

The heavenly calamity in the sky raged on, becoming more and more urgent. The golden lotuses formed by the Apricot Yellow Flag were unable to withstand the momentum and were continuously destroyed, dissipating into nothingness.

The Third Grade Pure World White Lotus above Xia Yi's head seemed to be swaying, giving him a feeling of being at the mercy of the rain.

"System, aren't you going to explain?" Xia Yi cursed in his heart.

This third calamity was obviously abnormal. Even if an Earth Immortal were here, their physical body would have long been torn apart by the gusts of wind, and their Primordial Spirit would have melted away.

There was only one explanation: the Heavenly Dao was targeting him, just like the first Thunder Tribulation.

But the system did not respond.

Seeing that the calamity was about to reach its most intense moment, Xia Yi did not hesitate. A black light appeared above his head, revealing a demonic god with a beast head and human body, covered in red scales with ears pierced by fire.

It was the incarnation of Zhu Rong!

Immediately after, Xia Yi took out a thousand drops of Merit Points and forcefully activated the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation technique from the "Bo Xun Heavenly Demon Scripture."

This was a top-tier Asura secret technique, extremely mysterious! It absorbed the gloomy and evil aura of the Netherworld Yellow Springs, transforming oneself into a Netherworld Heavenly Demon!

Once successful, one would be undying and possess various unimaginable Divine Abilities. It was completely incomparable to the Supreme Corpse of the Heavenly Corpse Old Demon.

Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and a dense aura of evil surrounded his body, not dissipating but constantly changing in the surroundings, like a demonic god!

A mysterious aura emanated from him, containing cruelty, cunningness, ferocity, treachery, violence, debauchery, desire, and countless negative emotions intertwined with each other.

It was as if a demonic god had descended from the Netherworld, and this aura did not belong to any human cultivator!

"Wu!"

The incarnation of Zhu Rong roared and rushed towards the center of the calamity.

Meanwhile, Xia Yi, in his Heavenly Demon form, desperately flew outward, escaping the range of the calamity.

Soon, he felt that the incarnation of Zhu Rong had dissipated without a trace, leaving no trace behind.

However, the wind calamity was gradually dissipating, and the gusts of wind were gradually ceasing.

Xia Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This incarnation of Zhurong and him were one, inseparable.

When the incarnation died, Xia Yi used a secret technique to forcibly transform into the form of a Heavenly Demon and used merit to shield his own aura.

As a result, the heavenly calamity naturally assumed that he was already dead and there was no longer a need for his existence.

However, forcibly reversing into a Heavenly Demon almost caused his physical body to collapse. If he wanted to repair it, he would have to spend a considerable amount of merit points.

"But at least I've passed through three heavenly calamities!"

Xia Yi felt the incredible condensation of his Primordial Spirit, as if it had become substantial.

The biggest difference between immortals and mortals lies in the Primordial Spirit. After passing through the three disasters and eliminating karmic forces, one can gather the essence of metals and the essence of the sun and moon to refine the Primordial Spirit into an infant.

Then, the infant can be refined into a child, indistinguishable from its original form. At that point, one can completely abandon the physical body and roam freely between heaven and earth, constantly changing. They can also possess and take over bodies at any time, truly displaying infinite uses.

Finally, the child can cultivate the Nine Transformations of Profound Mystery, harmonize the dragon and tiger, and form a Gold Core. This is the position of the Great Principal Golden Immortal, who is indestructible and eternal despite the myriad tribulations.

"[The system has detected that you were injured during the heavenly calamity and has determined it to be a work-related injury. Would you like to receive compensation for work-related injuries?]"

"You finally have a bit of conscience!" Xia Yi coldly snorted, "Yes, I would like to receive it!"

"[Considering the severity of your physical injuries, reaching the point of being heavily wounded, you can receive a total of one thousand merit points!]"

"[Considering that your incarnation fell and triggered the Law Treasure risk in the five insurances and one fund, you can receive a total of three thousand merit points!]"

"There's also the Law Treasure risk? I almost forgot about that!"

Xia Yi was quite satisfied. After deducting the consumption during the heavenly calamity, he actually gained two thousand merit points.

After returning to the Heavenly Court, Xia Yi focused his energy on refining his Primordial Spirit.

Only by refining the Primordial Spirit into an infant could one truly become an immortal, freely traversing the three realms, going to and fro.

"Oh, you've passed through three heavenly calamities? Your cultivation speed is rare in the world," Tianpeng exclaimed in surprise.

In Heavenly World, where there is one heavenly calamity per year, it is also rare to have passed through three calamities. It can be considered as a heavenly genius.

"It's just luck, just luck!"

Xia Yi smiled and didn't say much.

"Now that you've passed through three heavenly calamities and are considered a quasi-immortal, it's perfect timing to go clean up Guanghan Palace!"

"Guanghan Palace?" Xia Yi was taken aback.

"Yes, Wu Gang chops trees there every day, and there are countless laurel branches scattered on the ground. The Heavenly Court needs some wood for building warships, so you can go clean up and collect them," Tianpeng said.

Xia Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does Guanghan Palace need to be cleaned as well?"

Tianpeng burst into laughter, "You little brat, always thinking of good things. Guanghan Palace is the sleeping palace of the ancient beast Houyi. Chang'e Fairy lives there, and the Moon Rabbit takes care of the palace on a daily basis. If you could enter, this Lord Star would have gone in long ago!"

Xia Yi felt a bit embarrassed and immediately clasped his hands, "I will follow the orders of the Star Lord!"

Guanghan Palace is not located in the Thirty-Three Heavens, but on the Taiyin Star in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.

To reach the Taiyin Star, one must teleport from the Star Pavilion in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

After all, the Extreme Void Starry Sky is boundless, with billions of miles between each star.

If one were to fly, Xia Yi might not be able to reach it even after flying for a thousand years.
