Chapter 427: Chapter 39: Battle Merit Rewards, Heavenly Soul Resides in the Divine Temple! (6K)_4

He obviously didn’t want to dwell on this topic and changed the subject

"Things are different now, your fame has likely spread!"

"You now have a million battle achievements, which makes you eligible for a Third-rank Marquis title. Have you decided what reward you want?"

"I plan to forgo the honorific rank and loose rank rewards and seek a ’posthumous fame’," Zhao Xing said.

Xia Jing nodded, not surprised by this choice.

In fact, many qualified military officers made the same decision.

After all, in the prevailing belief, becoming a Yin God meant truly resting with the nation, being worshipped by descendants for generations, and achieving immortality in the Yin Realm.

"If I had a million battle achievements, I would also seek such an honor," Xia Jing said

The only question is how many battle achievements we can earn on the way to the Qinggang Mine Area."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and said

Don’t worry, there will be plenty for you to kill."

Just as they were about to continue chatting, Zhao Xing’s token suddenly trembled.

"Zhao Xing, the transshipment ship is almost here." Liao Rulong’s voice came from the token,

"Hurry down."

"I’ll be right there."

Zhao Xing informed Xia Jing and immediately flew down from the wall on a cloud.

....

The transshipment ship from the Transportation Department was called the Flying Dragon Tower Ship.

It was a Sixth-rank warship. Normally, the Flying Dragon Tower Ship was ten times larger than a Fifth Order Dragon Head Tower Ship.

But the transshipment ship from the Transportation Department was a special edition, its size fifty times larger than the Fifth Order Supreme Warship.

It was definitely a "fat dragon tower ship."

It looked like a small city flying in the sky.

This giant did not follow the usual path, traversing directly through the ten-thousand-meter Gang Wind Layer.

When it landed, it was like a mountain falling within the pass.

The transmission envoy for the Pacifying Barbarian Battlefield was of Sixth-Rank Upper.

But their status was unique, automatically elevated by one rank when meeting others, equivalent to Fifth-rank.

When Liao Rulong saw the transmission envoy, Lu Tingzhi, he saluted as a subordinate.

"Subordinate Liao Rulong, greets Lord Lu."

"Duwei Liao, no need to be so formal." Lu Tingzhi avoided his salute and offered a helping hand

"We are both Sixth-rank, why differentiate between ranks?"

Winning a battle had its perks, even an official from the lucrative Transportation Department was polite.

"Congratulations, Duwei Liao, and to the Divine Might Army for capturing Fire Dragon Pass. You are now famous across the entire Pacifying Barbarian Battlefield."

"It is all thanks to the court’s majesty that we achieved this humble success," Liao Rulong said humbly.

But this was no exaggeration; in the battle against the Southern Barbarians, Great Zhou always had a significant advantage in weaponry and equipment.

"I heard there’s an exceptional Minister of Agriculture Official in the Divine Might Army. Where is Zhao Xing?" Lu Tingzhi asked.

Liao Rulong immediately introduced

This is Zhao Xing, the Nine-section Captain of the Divine Might Army."

"Subordinate greets Lord Lu," Zhao Xing respectfully saluted, though he wondered privately why he met this person.

Lu Tingzhi lived through the early Wu Emperor.

His most glorious moment was serving as the transmission envoy for Pinghai State and Dao Yuan Continent, a Second-rank official!

In a past life of corruption, this man had been his patron’s patron.

He was also the first Second-rank official beheaded by Liu Tianning.

"Indeed a young talent! No need for formalities!" Lu Tingzhi expressed his admiration.

"Thank you, Lord Lu," Zhao Xing replied neither arrogantly nor obsequiously, refraining from flattering Lu Tingzhi. I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person... Zhao Xing thought to himself. This life, he planned to have no dealings with Lu Tingzhi.

He even contemplated using Lu Tingzhi’s head as a stepping stone for promotion, given the chance.

After the customary greetings,

Zhao Xing and the other officers boarded the tower ship.

The arrival of the Transportation Department was primarily to provide supplies for the army and exchange necessary materials.

Additionally, Zhao Xing, who had achieved a million battle achievements.

According to custom, the Transportation Department had to visit, asking whether Zhao Xing wished to exchange for a Yin God slot.

If he wanted, the sooner, the better otherwise, if killed, who knew where his heavenly soul would be, making summoning it back more costly.

"I am willing to forgo the honorific rank and loose rank rewards for a million battle achievements, seeking a Yin God position," Zhao Xing stated his intention.

"Very well, then you shall pray in the Rebirth Star Monarch Hall," Lu Tingzhi said

"A priest will guide you."

"Understood."

The tower ship was enormous, with a palace, the Rebirth Star Monarch Hall.

This palace’s standard was much higher than the divine temple in the Supply City.

To enshrine Zhao Xing’s heavenly soul, at least a Third-grade Split Soul of the Rebirth Star Monarch would be required.

Zhao Xing cast aside all distractions and entered the palace.

A priest guided him to burn incense, worship, and pray.

It was not much different from ordinary worship, except for an additional process, requiring Zhao Xing to contribute a drop of blood as a medium for enshrining his heavenly soul in the temple.

"Sizzle~" The drop of blood entered the burning bronze furnace.

"The ceremony is complete. Mr. Zhao may rise," the priest said.

Was it that easy?

Zhao Xing did not feel any change.

"Thank you, Rebirth True Monarch."

After bowing again, Zhao Xing got up and left the Rebirth True Monarch Hall.

He then checked his status.

Indeed, there was a record:

[The 17th year of Jingxin, September 20; heavenly soul enshrined, acquired a Yin God position. After death, can convert to Yin God Body.]

"Heavenly soul enshrined, insurance is bought." Zhao Xing smiled,

Now I can fight freely.

He was about to leave the tower ship but suddenly stopped.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing turned his head back, taking a few steps back.

His gaze fell on a young man sweeping the floor in the Transportation Department’s Divine Weapon Hall.

"This face, it’s familiar."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then walked into the Divine Weapon Hall.

Many officials were conducting their exchanges. Upon seeing Zhao Xing, someone welcomed him.

"Mr. Zhao, are you here to exchange for a Divine Weapon?"

"Just looking around," Zhao Xing pointed to the young man sweeping the floor,

"Why is someone sweeping in the Divine Weapon Hall, which should be spotless?"
