Cheng Yuxiao.”
Angel?
Upon seeing this Starlight Transmission, Xu Jin realized sothing: his celestial reward had probably been handed down.
Dress neatly?
He was apparently ant to wear neat attire.
Xu Jin thought for a mont, then changed into a set of green and black standard robes from the Taoist Institute.
His sister, Jiang’er, tidied up his hair for him.
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin arrived at the Pill Dawn Academy.
“Greetings to Senior Brother Pang.” Pang Yu was waiting outside the academy for Xu Jin and swiftly pulled him aside where an elderly man with white hair was waiting for him.
“This is Peng Tiesheng, Elder Chief Peng from our academy.”
“Greetings to Chief Peng.”
“Hmm.” Peng Tiesheng, with his white hair and beard, nodded at Xu Jin and said, “Co, let quickly explain the rules to you, and then you’ll et the Angel and receive the decree from our Emperor of Da Chen.”
Before being trained, Xu Jin had thought the process would be extrely complicated, perhaps even requiring him to kneel and kowtow repeatedly, which made him sowhat resistant deep down.
But Elder Chief Peng only spent 15 mins explaining the proceedings, which clarified things significantly and put Xu Jin at ease.
The rituals of the present tis were divided into major and minor rites.
The minor rites usually involved a simple greeting by bowing deeply, which was most common in daily interactions.
The major rites were kneeling rites split into double and single kneeling.
However, in current tis, strength belonged to the cultivators themselves, and imperial power relied on these strengths to maintain order.
For Star Casting cultivators and above, the major rites had been simplified to a single kneeling rite.
Typically, for a cultivator, only during significant events such as receiving honors or decrees and in the presence of the monarch did one need to undertake the major rites.
Once Xu Jin had a noble rank, in most circumstances when facing the monarch, only the minor rites would be required.
“Chief Chu, Xu Jin has arrived.” It wasn’t long before Chief Peng of the Pill Dawn Academy brought Xu Jin inside the Pill Dawn Palace.
Xu Jin first t with the State Preceptor, then greeted Chief Chu with a deep bow.
Truth be told, Xu Jin felt sowhat nervous.
Not because of his status.
But because of his strength.
Before this eting, Xu Jin had thought that State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao must have been the strongest existence in Da Chen, a kind that no one else could surpass.
But eting these two stewards here, Chief Peng emitted an exceedingly strong aura, almost on par with State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.
The aura of Chief Chu from the Great Chen Imperial Palace was more concealed, but when Xu Jin got close to greet him, the Mingji Star Pattern in his Lower Star Palace shone brightly.
The Mingji Star Pattern within Xu Jin’s Lower Star Palace had never been so luminous.
This indicated that Chief Chu’s threat level was unprecedentedly high.
At that very mont, Xu Jin felt a chilling presence flash briefly over him, then the Mingji Star Pattern cald down.
It must have been Chief Chu probing him.
“Indeed a person of great talent!
Lord Xu must have already cast your Divine Soul Star, haven’t you?” Chief Chu suddenly asked.
Just as Xu Jin stood up, his pupils sharply contracted.
After all this ti, this was the first being who had seen through his Divine Soul Star Casting.
State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao might or might not have seen through it, but had never ntioned anything.
However, Chief Chu saw through it just upon eting.
“Previously, I took a ntal-locking Golden Pill, then received a Refining God Golden Pill, and later my teacher bestowed another ntal-locking Golden Pill, by a stroke of fortune I managed to cast my Divine Soul Star,” replied Xu Jin as he rose.
“Well done, since you are the Top of the Autumn Exam, once you exhaust your Heavenly Ascending Stairs attempts, your Divine Soul Star will reach beyond the First Layer of Refining Star.
With the Red Scale Heart fused, your future is boundless, Lord Xu has a limitless future ahead,” praised Chief Chu.
“Lord Xu, receive the decree.”
It wasn’t the silken imperial decree Xu Jin had imagined, but rather a projection from a Jade that displayed a middle-aged man clad in a black coronet attire exhibiting great authority.
“Xu Jin, for your outstanding achievent in the Fire Radiant Star Domain, today I bestow upon you the Third-class Noble Rank of Da Chen, reward you with 10,000 Taoist rits and a thousand threads of Starlight, in the hope that you will cultivate day and night for further unparalleled achievents.”
Even without understanding fully, Xu Jin realized this was the present Emperor of Da Chen.
Emperor Chen Gao Ye, reign title Qian’an.
He had not expected contemporary imperial rewards to be directly bestowed in this manner.
Still, it wasn’t bad, at least it allowed the ministers to recognize the Emperor, also significantly reducing the possibility of fake imperial decrees.
Following the procedures Chief Peng taught earlier, Xu Jin knelt on one knee, thanking for the honor.
What shocked Xu Jin was that the projected Emperor Chen Gao Ye actually nodded slightly at him before he disappeared.
Xu Jin was astonished.
Was that equivalent to an online video call?
“Lord Xu, His Majesty holds great expectations for you, the recent Star Casting achiever who beca the leader of the Autumn Exam!
He looks forward to you establishing further miracles, perhaps even unparalleled achievents,” said Chief Chu.
“I will definitely cultivate diligently.”
When it ca down to it, all the fancy words taught by Chief Peng suddenly slipped Xu Jin’s mind, and he blurted out this phrase, which actually made Chief Chu chuckle.
“Lord Xu is indeed down-to-earth.”
Having said this, Chief Chu exchanged greetings with the State Preceptor and then shot upward into the sky to leave, demonstrating his frankness.
“Xu Jin, because the matter of Star Artifacts involves the strength of cultivators, many cultivators rarely show their Star Artifacts or reveal their artifacts’ capabilities to others.
Therefore, rewarding you with a Star Artifact is just a note and is not stated in the decree.
From now on, this Fourth Tier Star Artifact, Chaotic Star Pendant, belongs to you.” State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao handed Xu Jin an open jade box, where a translucent green jade pendant was placed.
“Chaotic Star Pendant?”
Xu Jin took it with both hands and examined it closely.
