Immortal of the Nine Realms-Fangcun Mountain

Elder Chen Yuan left, and Senior Sister brought Fang Chen alone to the Reincarnation Division.

Those working at the Reincarnation Division all had varying backgrounds, yet all demonstrated exceptional abilities. Upon seeing her, they all stepped forward to pay their respects.

Soon, a high-ranking official from the Reincarnation Division hurried over. He smiled at the senior sister and said, "Senior Sister, why didn't you inform us beforehand that you were coming?"

"Little Tu, let me introduce you. This is Junior Brother Fang, the newly promoted core disciple of the Enlightenment God Palace."

The newcomer was slightly stunned as he looked at Fang Chen with surprise. Immediately after, he cupped his hands and smiled. "Greetings, Junior Brother Fang. I am Pei Tu."

Fang Chen cupped his hands in return. "Greetings, Senior Brother Pei."

Pei Tu then invited Senior Sister and Fang Chen inside to speak. Through their conversation, Fang Chen learned that Pei Tu held a high rank within the Reincarnation Division.

"The Enlightenment God Palace has over a thousand core disciples, each with a role in the Enlightenment Underworld," explained Pei Tu. "However, there are only six main divisions in the Enlightenment Underworld. No matter how positions are allocated, the majority of core disciples will not hold high-ranking posts. Since you are new, you naturally have to start from the bottom."

After Senior Sister was invited to sit in the main seat, she smiled at Fang Chen and said, "I'll have Little Tu explain the structure of the Reincarnation Division to you. Afterward, you can tell me what you think and see which department you feel best suits you."

She then looked at Pei Tu.

Pei Tu immediately nodded, cleared his throat, and explained, "Junior Brother Fang, the Reincarnation Division has three main departments, each responsible for different tasks: Registration Department, Inspection Department, and Coffin Sealing Department."

"The Registration Department is responsible for recording the names of the reincarnated beings and arranging their general location after reincarnation. The Inspection Department ensures the registration is appropriate and that no one has been bribed to manipulate the records. As you know, the Enlightenment Star is vast, and sometimes the location of reincarnation can determine whether someone becomes a cultivator in the future. As for the Coffin Sealing Department, it refers to the final step. They are responsible for sending wandering souls into reincarnation."

"Currently, our Reincarnation Division has one Division Monarch, two assistants to the Yin Monarch. In the Registration Department, there is one main official overseeing thirty-three envoys. In the Inspection Department, there is one main official overseeing twenty-nine envoys. Lastly, in the Coffin Sealing Department, there is one main official overseeing forty-nine envoys."

Pei Tu laughed. "Doesn't sound like many, does it? There are over a thousand core disciples in the Enlightenment God Palace, and many of them want to join the Reincarnation Division. The benefits are good, the treatment excellent, and you don't have to go out risking your life on dangerous missions. It's also the division with the fewest core members among the six main divisions.

"However, every core disciple can command nearly a hundred auxiliary cultivators. Therefore, many things can just be handed over to them to take care of. Although the responsibilities of the Reincarnation Division are complicated, once you get familiar with things, it becomes very easy to get into the rhythm."

Senior Sister asked, "Junior Brother Fang, which department do you think suits you?"

"I'd like to start as a Registration Envoy," answered Fang Chen.

Pei Tu laughed heartily and said, "That sounds good. I'm the main official of the Registration Department. Since Senior Sister brought you here herself, it means you must be a talent. I'm eager to recruit capable people here."

"Are you sure? Working as a Registration Envoy can be quite troublesome, as it involves keeping the records of all the reincarnated souls," explained the senior sister. "Inspection Envoys and Coffin Sealing Envoys have relatively easier tasks, and their pay is a bit higher."

"Senior Sister, why not let him help me? You know how difficult those junior brothers and sisters under me can be. If this continues, I'm going to have a headache as the Head of Registration," said Pei Tu with a wry smile.

"Alright then, since it's his own choice, I won't interfere." Senior Sister nodded with a half-smile. "You've been around longer, so you can handle their rebellious nature. It does take someone with experience to keep them in line."

"By the way..."

The senior sister smiled at Fang Chen and changed the topic. "Li Shanzi is the main official of the Coffin Sealing Department in the Reincarnation Division. He was recently promoted after the Formless Purgatory expedition ended."

Fang Chen was surprised. "Senior Brother Li has already mastered the Formation Heart Immortal Technique, yet he can only be a main official of a department?"

She explained, "That's about right. After all, the Coffin Sealing Department Head is a much higher position than Little Tu's. Beyond that, there are the positions of Yin Monarch and Division Monarch, but these are mostly held by members of the Elders' Council. Don't think mastering Formation Heart Immortal Techniques makes someone extraordinary. It all still boils down to whether your cultivation is high enough."

The senior sister smiled and chimed in. "Take Old Two, for example. In the Enlightenment Underworld, he was just a minor official in the Central Division, not even a Department Head. Then there's Old Three, who works in the Nether Guards Division, but he's also just a main official. Old Fourth is in the Soul Capturing Division, Old Five in the Judgment Division, and Old Six in the Demon Refining Division, and the seventh, like the second, is also in the Central Division."

Pei Tu was a bit startled. Normally, Senior Sister wouldn't talk this much.

Why is she treating this newly promoted core disciple so specially?

"By the way, the previous Division Monarch of the Reincarnation Division had some health issues and stepped down," said the senior sister. "A new Division Monarch has just taken office, and strangely enough, it seems there's some connection with you."

"With me?" Fang Chen's expression shifted, his face showing confusion. "I wonder who it is..."

"He's from the Lower Six Realms and was previously known as Immortal Sovereign Taixu. He's now an Ancient Immortal, so naturally, the title Sovereign is no longer used. He has been an Enlightenment cultivator for many years and has made many contributions. The elders hold him in high regard, and I believe he can get things done, so he was selected to take over the position of Division Monarch of the Reincarnation Division."

The senior sister smiled gently. "He has a close relationship with Li Shanzi. In fact, Li Shanzi's younger sister is his disciple. He originally came from a prestigious background and was trained at Fangcun Mountain. I remember during your last evaluation, he was the main official. You should have met him."

A look of realization appeared on Fang Chen's face. "Ah, so it's that senior."

As expected, Immortal Taixu was likely the true body of Wang Chongsong. The information the senior sister just revealed was quite important.

He hailed from Fangcun Mountain?

This meant that the force opposing the Ancient Demon Sect all this time might be this one.

Fangcun Realm, Fangcun Mountain.

Fang Chen had an inkling that this force was not as simple as it seemed. He asked, "Senior sister, may I ask what kind of force Fangcun Mountain is? Is it one of the top powers in the Fangcun Realm?"

Given his current status, asking such questions would raise no suspicion.

"It used to be, since this domain is called Fangcun, after all," said the senior sister with a smile.

"However, Fangcun Mountain has gone through a great calamity and is no longer as powerful as before. It has fallen to become a second-tier power."

"A great calamity?"

Was it the Demon Calamity...?

While he was still thinking, a figure approached quickly. Before the person even arrived, the voice could already be heard. "Senior Sister, I heard you brought Junior Brother Fang over to handle Registration? Would it be possible for him to join my Coffin Sealing Department?"

The person who had just arrived and spoken was Li Shanzi.
