Chapter 973: So Disappointing. Xiao Han saw that she was the last person in line, and thought that if she asked a few more questions, the other party would be patient enough to answer.
So he asked, "What are the benefits of joining the Shrine?"
The guiding priest immediately launched into a long explanation: "Of course there are many benefits. After joining the divine palace, you will have a powerful backer, a salary, and opportunities to access many secret realms, cultivation resources, and preach the Dao in the divine realm."
Xiao Han then asked, "After joining, can I leave at any time?"
The guiding priest glanced at her disdainfully. "Don't you have sects in the lower realm? After joining a sect, can you just leave at will? If that's the case, why should the Divine Palace protect you when you're weak?"
Undeterred, Xiao Han asked again, "Then what can someone like me do inside the Divine Palace?"
Since there was nothing else to do but Xiao Han, an ascended cultivator, need to apply for an identity token, the guiding priest, unusually good-natured, continued to answer her questions.
"You newly ascended cultivators are only slightly stronger than pseudo-gods, so you can only do simple jobs. Pill making, talisman making, artifact making, array making, spirit plant making, beast taming, miscellaneous craftsmen, as long as you have a skill, you can go to work in the corresponding workshop."
Those skilled in combat can join the Divine Weapon Camp. In short, as long as you join the Divine Palace, you'll receive a salary and have the opportunity to cultivate peacefully.
He then asked Xiao Han, "What are you good at?"
Xiao Han chuckled dryly, "I don't have any special skills. I think I'll just stick to being a rogue cultivator."
Although the guiding priest could not interfere with the choices of these ascending cultivators, he still reminded them, "This is your only chance to join the Divine Palace. You won't have another chance to join later."
Although Xiao Han's aptitude was not particularly special, his ability to ascend to the God Realm at just over two thousand years old was still quite remarkable among ascended cultivators, demonstrating both good fortune and comprehension.
Anyway, the Divine Palace is recruiting a lot of these low-level cultivators. Whether it's good or bad, let's get them in first.
If Xiao Han were an ordinary person who hadn't yet started cultivating, she would probably be overjoyed to be able to join a sect based on the novels she had read.
But she has lived for over two thousand years and has endless lifespan; she doesn't want to live a life controlled by others.
What's there to be afraid of if there are no cultivation resources? As long as she can get by, she's prepared to just give up.
She still has plenty of lifespan left to live, so why would she need to work 996 every day, constantly pushing herself to the brink of death?
The guiding priest took out a green jade tablet, filled in Xiao Han's personal information, and then had her infuse it with her personal spiritual energy.
The token contained her name, bone age, and the date of her ascension to the divine realm.
As for the identity of a rogue cultivator, there is no need to specify it; others will know just by looking at the color of the token.
Putting away his identity token, Xiao Han walked out of the main hall.
On the other side of the square are two white jade bridges, one is the passage to the divine palace, and the other is the unsupervised, vast passage for wandering cultivators.
Xiao Han had already heard all of this clearly, so he wasn't in a hurry to cross the bridge.
She saw that the male cultivator who had initially given her the test was sitting there alone, seemingly doing nothing, so she went over to strike up a conversation.
"Are you also a member of the Divine Palace, fellow Daoist?"
The male cultivator hummed in agreement, then asked in return, "You've joined the Divine Palace?"
Xiao Han replied somewhat embarrassedly, "No, I chose to become a rogue cultivator."
The male cultivator didn't say anything. Everyone has their own ambitions, and those who can ascend to the top are all proud and arrogant.
Xiao Han, shameless as ever, continued to ask, "I'd like to ask, how are the cultivation realms of cultivators in the God Realm divided?"
The male cultivator, probably having nothing better to do and unable to leave his post, patiently answered her questions.
"Those below you ascended cultivators are collectively called false gods. Those who have just ascended are all at the True God realm, followed by God-King, God-Emperor, and God-Venerable."
Xiao Han then asked, "What about those above the Godhood level? Can one continue to ascend?"
The male cultivator scoffed, "You, a newly ascended cultivator from the lowest level, are thinking far ahead. Above the God Realm is the Chaos Realm, the place where gods reside. That is true immortality, where one lives as long as heaven and earth."
After a pause, he added, "Let's not think that far ahead. Let's think about how to get through the night first. There are fierce winds in the God Realm at night. Without a cave to stay in, we'll suffer a lot."
Xiao Han had heard the guiding priest say this before in the main hall, and now she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't the God Realm the highest realm? Shouldn't the comfort level of living here be better than that of the Immortal Realm?"
The male cultivator said, "The God Realm has three heavens. This is the lowest level, and the one with the harshest living conditions. If you want to live comfortably, then work hard to cultivate and climb up."
Xiao Han was immediately bewildered.
So, is her plan to lie flat completely impossible to achieve?
She hurriedly asked, "Does that mean that to live in the Second Heaven, one must advance to the Divine Lord Realm?"
The male cultivator nodded and added, "If your cultivation level is not high enough, there is another way to enter the second level of heaven: you can buy a spot with divine stones. Of course, that price is not cheap."
Xiao Han wanted to ask how many divine stones were needed, but considering that she didn't have a single one, she decided not to inquire further.
It's not too late to ask when you've really made a fortune.
Forget it, she'd better hurry up and go to the world of rogue cultivators to do some on-site research and settle down first.
After expressing his gratitude, Xiao Han walked towards the white jade bridge used by rogue cultivators.
This identity token also functions as a restriction token.
At the other end of the white jade bridge, submerged in a sea of clouds, Xiao Han, holding his identity token, crossed the bridge and saw another world.
What appeared before them was actually a market town.
Low stone houses and street vendors set up stalls everywhere—this was a scene straight out of the divine realm.
Xiao Han felt that if someone could send her back to the Immortal Realm right now, she would definitely use a megaphone to appeal that no one should ascend to the God Realm.
Is it that the magnificent palaces of the celestial realm are not comfortable to live in? Or is it that the fine clothes and delicious food of the celestial realm are not good enough?
Why go through all that trouble to ascend to the divine realm and torture yourself?
The thought of these celestial beings, high above in the immortal realm, ascending to set up street stalls made Xiao Han feel that this world was very magical.
Perhaps it's because he's been a big shot for so long that he's become somewhat reluctant to lower himself.
Although the market was crowded, no one was shouting loudly.
These independent monks selling their wares at street stalls have a kind of "fishing for fish" mentality, where those who are willing will take the bait.
Xiao Han thought that she also didn't have a single divine stone, and she wished she could also set up a street stall.
However, since she had just arrived in the God Realm and was unfamiliar with its pricing system, she decided to postpone setting up a stall for now.
Not knowing if things from the lower realms were still worth a few divine stones, Xiao Han decided to find a shop to ask.
