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

Chapter 42: Part-time Clear Sky Envoy

Xia Yi looked at the Nascent Soul in the Violet Palace, which was about a foot in size and had distinct features. It was indeed quite adorable.

Before cultivators pass the Three Calamities, their Primordial Spirit is hazy, like a mist. Only when they become an immortal can their Primordial Spirit condense into a substantial form, similar to a Perfected Being.

That's also why immortals can abandon their physical bodies.

"My Primordial Spirit is about the same size as a Perfected Being's after the Five Emperors' Determination!" Yutu said proudly.

"Impressive, impressive!" Xia Yi timely praised.

Indeed, it was true. When an immortal's Nascent Soul is condensed to the size of a Perfected Being, their cultivation is almost equivalent to that of a Celestial Immortal.

The Yutu in front of him actually had the cultivation of a Profound Immortal, which was awe-inspiring.

"Of course, my sister said that with my cultivation, I can become a Heavenly God in the Heavenly Court!" Yutu said proudly.

"In the future, Little Immortal will need more care from Little Jade Fairy!" Xia Yi complimented.

"No problem, no problem!"

Yutu waved her hand in satisfaction and then said, "The Yin Cold Tide outside has almost dissipated. You can return to the Heavenly Court and report back!"

Xia Yi solemnly clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for accommodating me, otherwise I would have frozen to death in the cold tide!"

"It's nothing."

Yutu extended her right hand, and a wooden box appeared on it. She said, "This is a box of mooncakes, a gift for you!"

"How can this be?"

Xia Yi was surprised. These mooncakes were made from various immortal medicines and were even more precious than the peaches of immortality that had been aged for three thousand years.

There were at least six in this box, indicating how valuable they were.

"We're tired of eating these mooncakes, and they're not that precious," Yutu said dismissively.

Xia Yi expressed his gratitude and then left the Guanghan Palace.

Back at the Clear Sky Monitor, Tianpeng asked in confusion, "Weren't you supposed to clean the laurel tree? Why did it take you so long?"

Xia Yi briefly explained the matter of the Yin Cold Tide, but concealed the details of the Sun-Shooting Arrow and Wu Gang.

"You actually entered the Guanghan Palace? And received hospitality from Fairy Chang'e?" Tianpeng's eyes turned red, and he shook Xia Yi's shoulders excitedly, saying, "Fairy Chang'e is one of the most beautiful women in the Three Realms. Even this Lord of Stars saw her face at a Peach Banquet in the Yaochi thousands of years ago. How did a little immortal like you, who comes from the Demon Dao, have such fortune and ability? If I had known, I would have gone to clean the Guanghan Palace!"

Seeing Tianpeng's excited expression, Xia Yi quickly said, "That was due to Fairy Chang'e's compassionate heart. She couldn't bear to see officials die in the Yin Cold Tide. Besides, even if the Lord of Stars went to clean, with the Lord's supreme cultivation, dealing with a small Yin Cold Tide would be more than enough. Fairy Chang'e wouldn't have opened the door either!"

"That's true."

Tianpeng calmed down and no longer dwelled on it, but there was still a hint of regret in his expression.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Xia Yi prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Tianpeng stopped him and said, "Don't go yet. There's a task I want you to temporarily take on."

"I'll follow the Lord's orders!"

"The Clear Sky Monitor's Envoy, Qingyangzi, has been in seclusion recently, preparing to overcome the Three Heavenly Tribulations. So, I want you to temporarily take on the role of Clear Sky Envoy. After Qingyangzi transcends the tribulation, you can return it to him!" Tianpeng said.

Xia Yi secretly cursed his bad luck. If he were given the Clear Sky Envoy position permanently, that would be fine. The system would definitely have additional rewards, and his salary would increase accordingly.

But this was just a temporary part-time job, and he didn't even have an official position in the Heavenly Court. It was purely unpaid overtime.

However, he naturally wouldn't show it and instead clasped his hands and said, "I will follow your orders, Lord!"

"Well, the position of the Sweeping Immortal Official will eventually become vacant, so you should strive for it!"

Tianpeng drew a large seal and hurriedly left, leaving behind the official seal of Qingtian Cheng.

There are a total of thirty-three levels in the Heavenly Palace, from bottom to top, including the Qianyun Palace, Pisha Palace, Wuming Palace, Taiyang Palace, and so on.

Each Heavenly Palace has seventy-two halls, and there are even more side halls, stacked layer upon layer, too numerous to count.

The position of Qingtian Cheng is more important than that of Qingtian Wei, overseeing thousands of celestial children and celestial maidens, exuding an imposing aura.

With the large seal given by Tianpeng, Xia Yi can mobilize these celestial children and celestial maidens.

Currently, the Heavenly Court has not yet deified the gods, and the palaces above the ninth level are not inhabited by gods. As long as the celestial children and celestial maidens go to clean them regularly, it is sufficient.

But there are still some palaces where gods reside, in addition to ordinary heavenly generals and divine beings. There are also some great gods, such as the Profound Heaven Hall of True Martial You Sheng True Monarch, the Spirit Void Hall where Barefoot Immortal resides, the Red Phoenix Hall of the Matchmaker, and the Guangdian Hall of Vice Marshal True Monarch Ming.

To show respect, Qingtian Cheng personally cleans these places.

In addition, Qingtian Cheng is also responsible for cleaning some special places, such as the Peach Blossom Garden and the Beast Garden.

This is why the position of Qingtian Cheng is only below that of the Sweeping Immortal Official.

Xia Yi, holding the official seal, arrived at a side hall where Qingtian Cheng's office was located.

The decoration was quite magnificent, much better than his own Tianwei Hall.

"I am temporarily taking over the position of Qingtian Cheng. I hope my colleagues can cooperate more."

"I dare not, we all look up to you, sir."

The immortal officials present saw that Xia Yi had already overcome three heavenly tribulations and become an immortal, so how could they dare to be negligent? Each of them showed a respectful expression.

"As a new official, I am not familiar with the affairs of Qingtian Cheng. Is there anything that needs my immediate attention?" Xia Yi asked.

An immortal official stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Calculating the time, sir, it's time for you to clean the Peach Blossom Garden!"

"The Peach Blossom Garden?"

Xia Yi's heart trembled. That was Dong Shuangcheng's territory.

But Dong Shuangcheng was still in solitary confinement and unharmed.

He immediately said, "In that case, I will go there."

Afterward, he selected a few Sweeping Immortal Officials, took brooms made of immortal bamboo, and headed to the Peach Blossom Garden.

On the way, he casually opened a panel and found that there had been some changes.

[Name: Xia Yi]

[Cultivation: Earth Immortal (Initial Stage)]

[Position: Qingtian Wei (Temporarily holding the position of Qingtian Cheng)]

[Job Responsibilities: Mainly responsible for cleaning Heavenly Prison, the Ruins of the Demon Court, and the Demon-Slaying Platform (temporarily responsible for cleaning various Heavenly Palaces and Secret Realms in the Heavenly Court)]

[Benefits: Five insurances and one fund, weekends off, triple overtime pay, sixteen-month salary, etc.]

"System, what are the benefits of temporarily holding the position of Qingtian Cheng?" Xia Yi asked in his mind.

[Because it is temporary, there are no rewards, but there will be some subsidies in terms of salary, probably an increase of thirty percent.]

"Thirty percent, that means I can earn an extra three thousand merit points in a year. That's not bad!" Xia Yi was quite satisfied.

The Peach Blossom Garden is located on the thirtieth level of heaven, occupying a large area. From a distance, one could see colorful lights enveloping it, with flowing radiance and auspicious qi permeating the void.

Before entering the Peach Blossom Garden, a guardian approached, emitting a powerful aura, even stronger than the Giant Spirit God guarding Heavenly Prison.

After all, the Peach Blossom Garden is an important place in the Heavenly Court. How could it not have powerful gods guarding it?

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in the Peach Blossom Garden?"
