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

Chapter 60: The Enfeoffment of the Broom Star

After returning to the Heavenly Court, Xia Yi continued to move around in the Qingtian Hall.

Qingyangzi had come out of seclusion and successfully passed the three calamities, becoming a quasi-immortal.

Originally, this guy was full of arrogance and went to Xia Yi's mansion, wanting to show off his might.

But after witnessing Xia Yi's cultivation, he immediately shrank back.

"Brother Xia is truly a genius. In just a few years, he has already become an immortal!" Qingyangzi said with a wry smile.

Xia Yi smiled faintly and said, "Since Brother has become an immortal, then I will return the position of Qingtian Supervisor to you!"

"Naturally, I will take it back. Thank you for your help during this time, Brother Xia!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Qingyangzi hurriedly left.

Time flew by, and another year passed.

This time, Xia Yi chose the Primordial World for his cultivation once again.

He completely suppressed his demonic aura.

After all, the Heavenly Court was the Sacred Land of the Three Realms, and as a demonic cultivator, he would attract too much attention.

If he were targeted by someone with ill intentions, it would be troublesome.

The Primordial World was already of little use to Xia Yi.

Apart from refining his three corpses, it only provided him with time for cultivation.

With the help of the peaches and numerous Innate Spirit Medicines, he successfully cultivated his Primordial Spirit to the size of a Perfected Being.

However, he had not yet fully comprehended the realm of unity between heaven and man, the position of a Celestial Immortal.

The Primordial World was still too small. To achieve the position of a Celestial Immortal, he needed to comprehend it in the main world.

Shortly after the journey ended, Xia Yi received a decree from Tianpeng.

After entering the Qingtian Hall, Tianpeng immediately said, "This Lord Star will return to the Heavenly River Water Army Camp today, resume my position, and take on the important role of Tianpeng Marshal, True Monarch!"

"Congratulations, Marshal!"

Xia Yi quickly congratulated him.

Tianpeng had already been reinstated after the trip to the North Sea, but he had been lazy and enjoyed his time in the Qingtian Hall.

Now, there was a rebellion of demons and monsters in the North Ming Continent, disturbing the Heavenly World, and the Heavenly River Water Army was unable to resist.

The Jade Emperor issued an edict, requiring Tianpeng to immediately take up his post and resolve the rebellion in the Milky Way.

"I have recommended you to the Great Heavenly Venerable as the next Broom Star. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be an edict in the next few days!" Tianpeng said.

"Thank you, Marshal. I am extremely grateful!" Xia Yi was overjoyed.

Although the Broom Star was ranked last among the 365 Star Lords in the Heavenly Court, it was still a true god of the Zhou Tian, in charge of the ancient stars.

"It's nothing. If you have time in the future, you can come to the Heavenly River Water Army Camp!" Tianpeng said.

After saying that, he left the Qingtian Hall and headed towards the South Heaven Gate.

After Tianpeng left, Xia Yi immediately seized the time to transfer his cultivation to his avatar, ensuring that his original body's cultivation remained at the early stage of an Earth Immortal.

The cultivation at the late stage of an Earth Immortal was too terrifying. Even the direct disciples of the three major sects had never achieved such rapid progress.

Sure enough, three days later, an immortal official came with an edict, summoning Xia Yi to the Lingxiao Hall.

The Heavenly Palace had a total of thirty-three levels, with the highest level being the thirty-third heaven, where the Jade Emperor resided in the Dou Niu Palace.

The Dou Niu Palace had seventy-two halls, including the Audience Hall, Spirit Void Hall, Treasure Light Hall, Heavenly King Hall, and Lingguang Hall, among others.

The central core hall was the Lingxiao Hall.

With the immortal official leading the way, Xia Yi followed behind and flew up on the clouds. Before long, they arrived in front of the Lingxiao Palace.

They saw a white jade road in the void, more than ten miles wide, leading directly to the palace.

Countless golden-armored heavenly gods stood on both sides of the white jade road, each holding a halberd and whip. They were all quasi-immortals who had passed the three heavenly tribulations, emitting an extremely powerful aura.

Xia Yi respectfully stood outside the palace, and then the celestial official went in to deliver the message.

After a while, a bell rang, and a celestial official came out and announced, "Summon Xia Yi, the Heavenly Supervisor of the Clear Sky Bureau, to the palace!"

Immediately, Xia Yi followed the celestial official into the Lingxiao Palace.

The Lingxiao Palace was extremely vast, with no visible ceiling and countless stars twinkling.

The Supreme Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, sat on the Haotian Golden Palace, with curtains hanging down, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Below, there were several immortal officials, not many in number, but all of them were highly accomplished in their cultivation.

Xia Yi also saw a familiar face, the Great White Star.

"Xia Yi, the Heavenly Supervisor of the Clear Sky Bureau, pays respects to Your Majesty!" Xia Yi prostrated himself in the palace and kowtowed.

"Rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Following the command, Xia Yi stood up but dared not raise his head.

"You were born in the Demon Dao, but you have not changed your original intention and have protected the human path. Therefore, you have accumulated merits and avoided imprisonment."

"After taking office as the Heavenly Supervisor of the Clear Sky Bureau, you have been diligent and conscientious, and you have made contributions by cleaning up the remnants of the Demon Court. Today, you are specially appointed as the Broom Star, in charge of purification and disaster control!"

The Jade Emperor's majestic voice came from above, and the entire hall fell silent, filled with a profound and unfathomable feeling.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Xia Yi was overjoyed and kowtowed again.

At this moment, he had become a true god of the Heavenly Court. Although his divine position was a bit inauspicious, he was still in charge of the stars in the sky, overlooking the mortal world, and enjoying eternal life.

"I bestow upon you the Purple Jade Bamboo. It was the tool I used when cleaning the Purple Heaven Palace in my early years."

Immediately, an immortal official presented a five-foot-long, thumb-thick purple bamboo to Xia Yi.

The bamboo staff was slightly curved, with several evenly spaced nodes. There were no branches at the lower end, and the leaves at the upper end were a hazy purple color, resembling the shape of a broom.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Xia Yi was truly surprised this time. This Purple Jade Bamboo was obviously transformed from an Innate Spirit Root. Although its grade was not high, it seemed to be of Low Grade, the meaning behind it was thought-provoking.

The immortal gods below were also shocked and whispered among themselves.

This was the possession of the Jade Emperor in his early years, and it was used to clean the Purple Heaven Palace!

"I hope that you will use this Purple Jade Bamboo to sweep away ancient calamities. After you have achieved success, I will grant you the right to establish your own mansion and build your own army!" The Jade Emperor spoke again.

Xia Yi held the Purple Jade Bamboo in his hands, his expression filled with excitement. "I will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"

Establishing a mansion and building an army meant that he could freely establish his own power, which was a considerable degree of autonomy.

"You may all withdraw!"

"We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty!"

The immortal gods bowed and left.

After the court session, the Great White Star approached Xia Yi and said with some emotion, "It has been several years since we last met, and you have already overcome three calamities and achieved Immortal Dao. Now you have been appointed as the Broom Star by His Majesty. Truly, the world is ever-changing!"

Xia Yi performed a grand ceremony in front of him and said solemnly, "My achievements today are all thanks to the benevolence of the Star Lord back then. Otherwise, I would have long been executed on the Demon Execution Platform!"

"It's nothing! It's nothing! It's also because of your compassion that you have achieved this. Otherwise, with so much killing on your hands, no one could have saved you!"

The Great White Star laughed heartily.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Great White Star said again, "The Broom Star was once known as the Calamity Star in ancient times. After the war between witches and demons, due to the vacancy of the Heavenly Supervisor position, all the stars were sealed. If you want to control this star, it won't be easy. That's also one of the reasons why His Majesty bestowed the Purple Jade Bamboo upon you!"

"I understand!" Xia Yi quickly replied.

"If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the Great White Mansion!"

After saying that, the Great White Star floated away.

As one of the Heavenly Supervisors, the Broom Star naturally had its own mansion, not far from the Clear Sky Bureau.

Inside the magnificent palace, there were carved beams and painted pillars, resplendent with golden light, and immortal mist surged on the ground.

However, there were many altars of immortal wine on the ground, and the rich aroma of wine permeated the air.

It used to be the residence of the Heavenly Marshal, so it was not surprising.

Xia Yi found a quiet side hall, sat down on the floor, and skillfully opened a panel.
