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

Chapter 6: Cleansing the Demon-Slaying Platform

At the hour of You, Xia Yi walked out of Heavenly Prison with a gourd in hand.

At the entrance, the giant spirit god guarding Heavenly Prison was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect the newly arrived Sweeping Immortal Official to come out so late.

The previous immortal officials who cleaned Heavenly Prison couldn't wait to leave as soon as the hour of Wei arrived. After all, Heavenly Prison was filled with heavy malevolent energy, which was detrimental to the body if exposed for too long.

But this Sweeping Immortal Official had spent a full two hours cleaning!

"Offending the Twin Cheng Immortal Sisters, no matter how diligent you are, it's useless!"

The giant spirit god shook his head, not taking it to heart.

Xia Yi drove his auspicious cloud and hid within a dense white cloud after getting far away from Heavenly Prison.

Then, he carefully took out the return-to-city talisman he obtained from working overtime.

In a flash of light, the scene before his eyes instantly changed, and a serene wooden house appeared.

"Wow, this is instant teleportation!"

Xia Yi was somewhat amazed.

In the primordial world, space was extremely stable, and usually only powerful beings at the Profound Immortal realm could break open a small space.

It was estimated that even an ordinary ancient Golden Immortal would not be able to refine a return-to-city talisman like this.

"I just don't know how large the range of this return-to-city talisman is. It would be great if it's not limited to the Heavenly Court! If I have the time, maybe I can experiment with it."

There were also overtime benefits and a medicine bath for flesh refining.

With a thought, Xia Yi created a large bronze cauldron in the center of the courtyard. Fierce flames burned beneath it, and the water inside the cauldron boiled. Floating on top were various medicinal herbs, as well as centipedes several feet long and fist-sized spiders. The liquid looked like ink, quite terrifying.

[Please enter the cauldron, purify your mind, and absorb the medicine bath.]

After a moment of hesitation, Xia Yi entered it.

The temperature inside the cauldron grew hotter and bubbles appeared in the medicinal paste. The temperature continued to rise, quickly submerging him.

At this moment, several spirit medicines suddenly appeared out of thin air. They were radiant, fragrant, and surrounded by colorful light.

A stream of blood also appeared, condensing into a Flood Dragon about the size of a palm. It looked majestic and ferocious, as if it wanted to tear people apart and escape. Its hostility was extremely strong.

With the addition of the dragon blood from the spirit medicine, the temperature inside the cauldron continued to rise. The ink-black paste was about to boil, and Xia Yi felt a searing pain as if his skin was cracking open. He endured the pain and absorbed the essence within.

Rainbows of light flowed into his body, constantly circulating within his flesh and blood, full of vitality.

This continued for a full hour. The cauldron calmed down, and the flames below gradually extinguished.

After leaving the cauldron, Xia Yi felt that his blood and energy were vigorous, like an unparalleled sword unsheathed, revealing its sharpness.

"This medicine bath is quite valuable!"

If he could soak in it every day, his physical body would truly reach a terrifying level. Not to mention achieving a saintly physical body, it would even be possible to transcend the tribulation with the physical body.

In the following days, he worked overtime for two hours every day.

Most of the rewards from the system were medicine baths, and sometimes it would also reward him with an hour of enlightenment stone, which could allow cultivators to quickly enter a state of unity between heaven and man, greatly increasing their cultivation speed.

During other times, Xia Yi focused on refining the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus, hoping to refine the innate restrictions within it as soon as possible.

The innate restrictions were composed of countless Great Dao runes and were the source of various divine abilities of the innate spirit treasure.

One to twelve innate restrictions constituted a low-grade innate spirit treasure.

Thirteen to twenty-four innate restrictions constituted a middle-grade innate spirit treasure.

Twenty-five to thirty-six innate restrictions constituted a high-grade innate spirit treasure.

Thirty-seven to forty-eight innate restrictions constituted an apex-level innate spirit treasure.

Among them, the innate spirit treasure with forty-eight innate restrictions could also be called a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure.

And the so-called Innate Treasure is a set of forty-nine Innate restrictions that possess the principles of the Heavenly Dao.

The Third Grade Pure World White Lotus contains one Innate restriction, which can be considered the lowest grade of Innate Spirit Treasure.

However, even the lowest grade of Innate Spirit Treasure possesses various incredible Divine Abilities, which even Golden Immortals would envy.

With Xia Yi's current strength, it would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to completely refine this Innate restriction.

On this day, just as Xia Yi was preparing to continue cleaning the Heavenly Prison, a fairy child approached.

"The Star Lord has given an order for Xia Yi to temporarily suspend the cleaning of the Heavenly Prison and immediately proceed to the Demon-Slaying Platform to clean up the bodies!"

The fairy child handed over a command token and said, "This time, the True Martial Spirit Monarch led the Eight Great Demon Sects and Ten Great Monster Kings to the mortal realm for a joint extermination. The Demon-Slaying Platform was filled with decapitated heads and surging blood waves, and the killing intent reached the heavens. Therefore, the Emperor ordered the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau to quickly clean up."

However, the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau is short-staffed, so the Star Lord has asked for assistance from Xia Yi to go to the Demon-Slaying Platform first.

"I will follow the Star Lord's decree!"

After receiving the command token from Tianpeng, Xia Yi immediately set off.

The Demon-Slaying Platform is the Heavenly Court's execution ground specifically built for slaying demons and monsters.

If it weren't for awakening the Worker System, Xia Yi would have had to step onto the Demon-Slaying Platform at least once.

The Demon-Slaying Platform is located in the fifteenth heaven, the Xuanming Gongqing Heaven.

Xia Yi passed through layer after layer of pavilions, towers, palaces, and gardens, finally arriving under a magnificent hall.

The grand hall stood tall, with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine levels of jade steps below it. These jade steps were dotted with dark bloodstains, as if countless lives had been slaughtered, leaving behind traces of blood.

After ascending the grand hall, there was an extremely majestic square. Countless weapons stood around the edges, including knives, axes, hooks, ropes, swords, spears, halberds, giant hammers, iron chains, and wolf-toothed clubs.

Each weapon was exceptionally large, ten times larger than ordinary weapons, exuding a chilling aura that made people tremble in fear.

Deep within the square stood numerous demon-subduing pillars, roughly ten zhang in circumference and a thousand zhang in height. Each pillar was bound with once unrivaled Great Monster demons.

As soon as Xia Yi approached the Demon-Slaying Platform, he felt a suffocating aura.

That aura surged like endless coldness into his marrow, making his Primordial Spirit feel somewhat unfamiliar.

Fortunately, he had the Third Grade Pure World White Lotus. With a slight activation, he was unaffected by this aura.

Only when he truly entered the Demon-Slaying Platform did Xia Yi realize what it meant to be surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The ground was surging with waves, and blood was flowing like a torrent. Countless headless corpses floated and sank within, while countless lingering souls emitted mournful screams.

"Who goes there?"

A giant three zhang tall walked over. He had a green face, fangs, and his body was covered in many tadpole-like characters, exuding an unparalleled domineering aura.

He also held a large knife, from which blood occasionally dripped.

"The executioner of the Demon-Slaying Platform is actually from the Witch Clan!"

Xia Yi was shocked.

When Pangu was reborn, the pure qi rose to become the Three Pure Ones, namely the Supreme Old Lord, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Heavenly Master of the Universal Salvation Sect. The impure qi sank and formed the Five Elements of the chaotic world, giving rise to the ancient Witch Clan.

The Witch Clan was naturally physically strong, able to manipulate laws, move mountains and fill seas, and even be reborn with a drop of blood. They were not to be trifled with.

In terms of physical strength, there was no race in the Primordial Era that could compare to them.

Unfortunately, the Witch Clan's cultivation emphasized the unity of spirit and flesh. They were naturally unable to cultivate a Primordial Spirit, so they couldn't cultivate Dao techniques and had a naturally fierce and malevolent nature.

Even though they could destroy the heavens and earth, they had no real cultivation and couldn't discern fortune and calamity.

During the ancient Primordial Era, the Witch and Demon races shattered the Primordial Era and were punished by the Heavenly Dao.

Nowadays, the two races either stay away from the Primordial Era and enter the depths of the starry sky, or they barely survive in the foreign lands of the Northern Lu Continent.

Unexpectedly, there was a member of the Witch Clan in the Heavenly Court.

Without thinking too much, Xia Yi handed over the command token from Tianpeng and said, "Reporting to the celestial official, this subordinate is here on the Star Lord's decree to clean up the Demon-Slaying Platform!"
