Junior Uncle is too cunning.

For the immortals of the primordial world, time is both the cheapest and the most valuable thing; in the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Tomorrow is the start of the competition for official positions, and today Master Lingyu will give a pre-competition briefing.

When Chen Fusheng walked in, everyone except Ling Yu and Ling Ling had already arrived. He was delighted to see Lu Ling'er hiding behind Dao Ling and was about to speak when Ling Yu and Ling Ling walked in, so he had to shut up.

Ling Yu sat down, glanced at Chen Fusheng and the others, and said, "The location for this competition for official positions has been decided. It will be located in the middle of Donghai Town and the coast of Donghai. We will start with the sixth-rank officials."

This time, the Azure Emperor, one of the Five Elders of Heaven, will be in charge. You all should do your best tomorrow.”

"Qing Emperor?"

Chen Fusheng was a little confused. He had only heard of the Six Emperors of Heaven, the Jade Emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, and the Longevity Emperor. Where did this Green Emperor come from?

Chen Fusheng thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. After Ling Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is the background of this Azure Emperor in Heaven? How can he be called an emperor? I remember that Heaven is ruled by the Jade Emperor, isn't it?"

Lingyu glanced at Chen Fusheng, and then saw that Dao Lin and the others had become interested and wanted to talk, after all, a teacher is to impart knowledge and resolve doubts!

The Five Elders of Heaven were five deities from the early days of Taoism, and were also revered as the "Five Emperors".

The sage bestowed upon them the following Daoist titles: Eastern Azure Emperor, Azure Spirit Primordial Old Man, Nine Pan Yang; Southern Crimson Emperor, Crimson Spirit True Old Man, Three Pan Yang; Central Yellow Emperor, Mysterious Spirit Yellow Old Man, One Pan Yang; Western White Emperor, Bright Spirit Imperial Old Man, Seven Pan Yang; Northern Black Emperor, Five Spirit Mysterious Old Man, Five Pan Yang.

The five great emperors are people even the Jade Emperor greatly respects. The Heavenly Court specially invited the Eastern Azure Emperor, one of the five elders, because of the conflict between humans and dragons. This is a respectful title for him. When you meet the other emperors, you can address them as the Red Emperor, Yellow Emperor, White Emperor, and Black Emperor.

The more Chen Fusheng listened, the more familiar it seemed. He had never seen such a long Taoist title before, but he had heard of the Green Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, and the Black Emperor.

"Master, isn't the Azure Emperor...Black Emperor the title of the Five Sacred Emperors?"

Lingyu Zhenren nodded and smiled after hearing Chen Fusheng's words, "Yes, that's why they are revered as the Five Emperors. Of course, you can call them the Holy Emperors if you like."

Chen Fusheng was a little confused. The Five Sacred Emperors had actually held a position in the Heavenly Court?

Lingyu glanced at Chen Fusheng, fearing he might cause some trouble again, so she spoke a little more.

"In the heavens, the Five Elders are called the Five Supreme Gods; in astronomy, they are called the Five Emperors' Seats and the Five Stars of the Five Directions; among the gods, they are called the Five Emperors of the Five Directions; among the mountains, they are called the Five Sacred Emperors of the Five Sacred Mountains; and among the human body, they are called the Five Divine Lords of the Five Organs. Although their divine duties are different, they are indeed the same person. Fusheng, do you understand?"

Chen Fusheng immediately understood the meaning behind Ling Yu's gaze; it was a warning: "Kid, don't you dare cause any trouble. I won't be responsible for cleaning up your mess if something goes wrong."

Chen Fusheng's face fell, and he nodded unhappily, feeling somewhat displeased. "Am I the kind of person who doesn't know his own limitations?"

Lingyu gave him a "guess" look.

After the meeting, Chen Fusheng was given a thorough dressing-down by Ling Yu and Ling Ling before returning to his room.

Lying in bed, thinking about what Master Lingyu had told me today, I felt more and more that the Five Elders of Heaven were really too powerful!

In Heaven, he is the Five Old Gods, concurrently serving as the Five Emperors; in the realm of gods, he is the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, concurrently serving as the Five Organs Gods; and even on Earth, mountains and peaks, he is the Five Sacred Emperors.

These are all second-rank or even first-rank divine positions, equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even their Daoist titles are bestowed by the Sage himself. To reach this level as a person... bah, as an official, is truly the pinnacle.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the Jade Emperor complained about something trivial and restarted the great calamity.

With so many first- and even second-rank positions controlled by one person, plus the support of a sage behind him, this is no ordinary official position; it's practically like having a bunch of pampered masters. How could the Jade Emperor possibly be content with this?

Any man would definitely flip the table and quit.

Is the Jade Emperor's dispatch of the Azure Emperor to handle the matter of humans and dragons a reshuffling within the Heavenly Court? After all, the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors I know of were all re-appointed after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

But now that someone has taken up a divine position, even if these five elders are not dead, they have probably been secretly hidden away by the Jade Emperor.

However, Chen Fusheng believes the first possibility is more likely. After all, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods resulted in the deaths and injuries of countless disciples of the Sage, let alone the Five Elders.

If they don't die, how will the divine positions become vacant? How can the Jade Emperor intervene? Not to mention, the Jade Emperor is the kind of person who would even try to kill his own sister.

"It seems I'll have to stay away from these emperors from now on," Chen Fusheng thought to himself.

As a god determined to... well, I mean, to stand behind the Jade Emperor, choosing the right side is crucial if you want to serve the emperor.

……

The next morning, Chen Fusheng and the others were summoned to the gate of the Dao Alliance. Soon after, the Azure Emperor emerged, surrounded by Xuan Fuzi, Yun Ying, and others, displaying an unmistakable air of a powerful figure.

Chen Fusheng glanced at it discreetly and, based on his divine authority, concluded that this Azure Emperor was undoubtedly a Great Luo Immortal. No wonder the Dao Alliance mobilized its entire force yesterday.

However, this was the first time he had ever seen a Great Immortal, even though he was short-lived!

The Azure Emperor remained silent, while Xuan Fuzi, representing the Dao Alliance, offered some words of encouragement before they all set off in a grand procession towards their destination outside of Donghai Town.

When the Dao Alliance, the Heavenly Court, and others arrived, the Dragon Clan had not yet arrived. Chen Fusheng glanced at them discreetly and sensed that the Azure Emperor and the others looked quite displeased.

Half a day later, the dragons slowly arrived, riding the clouds and mist, looking every bit the overlord.

Chen Fusheng glanced at the Dragon Clan with boredom, curled his lip, and thought, "They really don't learn their lesson. It's been so long, and they're still so arrogant. Didn't they see that the Azure Emperor's face has turned ashen? No wonder they're getting worse as they get older."

After the dragons stopped, the Azure Emperor remained seated in the air without moving, only sending Xuan Fuzi and a Golden Immortal from the Heavenly Court to negotiate with the dragons.

The Dragon Clan has fielded all eight branches of the Golden Dragon, White Dragon, and Azure Dragon this time. Chen Fusheng glanced at them and found that there were about thirty of them that he couldn't understand, which was comparable to the Golden Immortals of the Eastern Human Alliance.

Chen Fusheng also saw Ao Ling, the current patriarch of the White Dragon Clan, who looked spirited and full of fighting spirit.

The dragons weren't all fools. Seeing the Azure Emperor's attitude, their faces were not pleasant, but they dared not speak out. After all, the Dragon King was not present this time. If the Azure Emperor was unhappy and slapped them, wouldn't they die unjustly?

Xuan Fuzi returned after exchanging only a few words with the Dragon Clan. Unexpectedly, this time they started with the fourth rank and then the fifth rank and finally the sixth rank and then the celestial immortal realm.

After thinking about it, Chen Fusheng understood the brilliance of this arrangement. The third-rank official, being the most important position in this competition for officialdom, was definitely the main event, and it was saved for last.

While there were many fifth and sixth-rank divine positions available this time, they seemed somewhat insignificant in the face of such a large-scale competition for official positions.

The fourth-rank divine position is a perfect appetizer, as a fourth-rank divine official corresponds to an immortal at the Xuanxian realm.

Even among the Eastern Human Race and the East Sea Dragon Race, Xuanxian are a core force and the foundation of their respective races.

Under the supervision of a Golden Immortal from Heaven, the Mystic Immortals stepped out one by one, pairing up to begin the first step in their long struggle for official positions.

Just as Chen Fusheng was completely absorbed in watching, the God of Wealth Seal in his storage ring showed new activity.

Chen Fusheng withdrew his gaze, looked around, and quietly extended a wisp of his primordial spirit power to check inside his storage ring.

With just one glance, Chen Fusheng's expression changed drastically. Although he quickly regained his composure, Dao Wu beside him still noticed.

"Junior brother, what's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Dao Wu's worried expression, Chen Fusheng forced a smile and said, "It's alright, Senior Brother."

After finally calming Dao Wu down, I took another look.

At this moment, the God of Wealth's seal was completely empty, without even a drop of incense.

"Something happened to Li Shundao?"

However, Chen Fusheng did not sense anything. Although he was anxious, he was helpless.
