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

Chapter 61: Ancient Catastrophic Star

[Name: Xia Yi]

[Cultivation: Earth Immortal Late Stage]

[Position: Broom Star]

[Job Responsibilities: Mainly responsible for cleaning and managing calamities]

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

[Salary: Settled next month]

[Detected that the host is taking on this position for the first time. Will you accept job training?]

"Accept!" Xia Yi quickly replied.

[Job training begins now]

[Q: What are the specific responsibilities of a Broom Star?]

[A: In ancient times, the Broom Star was also known as the Catastrophic Star. It is in charge of the calamities of the Three Realms. After the Primordial Era was shattered, the Heavenly Emperor established the Clear Heaven Bureau to clean up the Three Realms.]

[Q: How to be a competent Broom Star?]

[A: The main responsibility of a Broom Star is to manage calamities. Therefore, the system has specially prepared an inheritance of an ancient Catastrophic Star for the host.]

After speaking, a three-foot-long black feather appeared out of thin air, with bloodstains at the end, as if it had just been plucked.

Xia Yi held it in his hand and curiously waved it lightly. With a "whoosh" sound, a fierce black divine fire surged out, rushing forward and instantly melting the nearby hundred-zhang pillar into ashes.

He was somewhat stunned. Such a small black feather actually had such terrifying power.

It should be noted that this pillar was made of star-iron, extremely hard. Even Immortals would find it difficult to leave a mark on it.

At the same time, a few strands of black aura penetrated into Xia Yi's body through the black feather, attempting to erode his Primordial Spirit.

However, when it came into contact with the golden light of merit protecting his Primordial Spirit, it immediately made a "sizzling" sound and dissipated into nothingness.

"This aura seems to contain curses, calamities, and ominousness..." Xia Yi was shocked.

If he didn't have the protection of merit, just touching this black feather would probably bring him misfortune and suffer from ominousness.

Being struck by lightning when going out was a normal occurrence. What he feared was being inexplicably involved in some calamity and not even knowing how he died.

After realizing the power of the black feather, Xia Yi cautiously released his divine sense. As soon as it touched the black feather, a change occurred!

Boom!

An image appeared in his mind—a black crow as huge as a mountain, surrounded by black flames. A dense gray aura surged out from its body, making the stars and moon pale, and the heavens and earth bleak.

There were many strange monsters in the sky, either baring their fangs and brandishing their claws or standing tall and mighty. Their aura was powerful, clearly Ancient Beast gods.

On the ground, many giants were galloping, capable of shattering ancient mountains with a single punch, resembling supreme great witches.

Under the siege of the gods and great witches, the black crow gradually became overwhelmed and eventually perished.

"So this is the famous ancient Catastrophic Star!" Xia Yi exclaimed.

This black crow was formed by a trace of Innate calamity qi in the Hongmeng. It was a true ancient Catastrophic Star!

Its strength was unfathomable, and even the mighty beings of the Primordial Era would avoid it. Wherever it went, death events would inevitably occur. It was a true harbinger of disaster!

However, this ancient Catastrophic Star acted recklessly, making enemies everywhere, even forming grudges with the Witch and Monster races.

Later, in order to control the power of calamities, this Catastrophic Star secretly manipulated the relationship between the Witch and Monster races, leading to the outbreak of the first Witch-Monster War and the opening of the Quantitative Calamity!

However, after the plot was exposed, it was hated by the Witch and Monster races. Many divine witches and great witches joined forces to kill it, and it eventually perished.

"Wow, it actually made the Witch and Monster races cooperate. This ancient Catastrophic Star is truly hated by both heaven and man!" Xia Yi couldn't help but feel speechless.

However, he also obtained the inheritance of the ancient Catastrophic Star from it—the "Hongmeng Calamity Scripture"!

By cultivating it to perfection, one could withstand countless calamities and forge a Dao body, achieving the immortal state that cannot be worn away by Myriad Tribulations and Great Principles!

"The Hongmeng Catastrophe Scripture" contains only a few hundred words.

But all of these words are Innate Dao texts!

Innate Dao texts contain the principles of the Heavenly Dao and the rules of the world.

One piece of Innate Dao text often requires the annotations of 129,600 pieces of Post-Heaven Dao texts.

Post-Heaven Dao texts often require countless annotations of Human Dao texts.

The Immortal Law created by the Three Pure Ones is also composed of Innate Dao texts, but the Immortal Laws of the Three Teachings often consist of tens of thousands of Innate Dao texts.

Therefore, within a single teaching, disciples comprehend various Immortal Laws.

Just like in the Jiejiao, where humans and demons are mixed, there are many disciples who have comprehended Monster Race Divine Abilities, Witchcraft, and Demon Race Forbidden Formations from the "Supreme Pure Immortal Law".

So, if you want to comprehend the "Hongmeng Catastrophe Scripture", it will take countless years.

And what's more important is that you have no idea if the technique you comprehend is correct.

That's why countless immortals are eager to enter the Three Teachings, as having a Saint as a teacher is crucial.

"I actually have plenty of time, but I lack a teacher..." Xia Yi murmured.

With the benefit of Myriad Worlds Travel, he can spend thousands of years in the small worlds of various realms every year.

But without the guidance of a renowned teacher, even a slight thought can lead to a completely different direction of comprehension.

"Where can I find a renowned teacher?"

That ancient calamity star from back then had achieved the position of Great Principal Golden Immortal, transcending the river of time and truly reaching the realm where all things decay but they remain immortal, and the heavens and earth perish but they remain undying.

In other words, only other strong individuals at least at the quasi-Saint level can guide him.

Quasi-Saint level experts are rare in the Three Realms, and they are revered by billions of living beings.

The Heavenly Court has two of them.

Xia Yi only saw the Heavenly Emperor Haotian when he was appointed as a Sweeping Immortal Official.

Just at this moment, a commotion came from ahead.

It was Li Ran, Qingyangzi, leading a group of Sweeping Immortal Officials.

"Officials, pay respects to the Star Lord!"

The immortal officials all knelt down, showing respectful attitudes.

"Please rise, everyone!"

Xia Yi waved his hand and said, "Although I am a new official, the affairs of the Clear Sky Bureau have always been under my responsibility as a god. So everything remains the same. As for the position of the former Clear Sky Minister, Li Ran, you will take over!"

Li Ran was overjoyed and knelt down, bowing his head, "Thank you, Star Lord, for your great kindness. I will do my best to share the Star Lord's worries!"

Originally, he was just a fairy child in the Clear Sky Bureau, with a low status, not even qualified to eat immortal rice or wear heavenly clothes.

It was Xia Yi who promoted him to a Sweeping Immortal Official, registered him in the celestial register, and provided him with monthly heavenly court salary.

Now he has been promoted to the position of Clear Sky Captain, the fourth in command of the Clear Sky Bureau.

Only below the Clear Sky Minister and Clear Sky General.

The Clear Sky General was originally a divine general in the Milky Way. He and Tianpeng were drinking buddies, so they were demoted together.

Now that the Heavenly Court has been restored, that divine general naturally went to the Heavenly River Navy Camp.

The Clear Sky General is responsible for the defense and security inside and outside the Clear Sky Bureau, and is usually an immortal who has crossed the Three Heavenly Tribulations.

Li Ran has only just crossed one Heavenly Tribulation, so he is obviously not suitable.

"Congratulations, Star Lord. I have offended you many times in the past, so please forgive me!" Qingyangzi appeared extremely humble, with a very low attitude, lacking the awareness of being an immortal.

"Please rise quickly. In the future, this Star Lord will rely on you, Brother Qingyang, for support!" Xia Yi quickly stepped forward to support him.

He keenly sensed a hint of jealousy behind Qingyangzi's respectful demeanor.
