“A divine hierarchy? Governing a specific territory?”

“And they still benefit from the protection of fortune, boosting their Cultivation speed?”

“If that is the reality, wouldn't the position of City Lord be a target of fierce competition?”

Executioner Immortal King immediately grasped the deep significance of this divine hierarchy.

Within the Immortal World, artifacts or methods capable of assisting Immortals in their Cultivation are exceptionally scarce.

If refining a divine seal granted such advantages, an endless number of Immortals would surely scramble to obtain one.

After all, for any Immortal, even a marginal improvement in Cultivation efficiency represents a massive blessing.

Regardless of the price, such an advantage would be considered a bargain.

“Indeed, the competition is intense.”

“Ever since the effects of the divine seal became public knowledge, a tidal wave of Immortals has sought to join the Heaven Court, hoping to serve as officials and refine their own divine seals.”

“Regrettably, entering the Heaven Court as an official is no simple feat.”

“Only the elite among the elite are selected.”

“Consequently, the Heaven Court conducts periodic examinations, inviting countless Immortals to test their mettle.”

“Only those who successfully pass these trials are permitted to hold office within the Heaven Court.”

“These examinations typically occur once every million years.”

“To countless Immortals, this is seen as the ultimate opportunity to ascend to greatness,” Li Changchun explained.

He was consistently awestruck whenever the Heaven Court’s imperial examinations were announced.

The sheer volume of Immortals registering for the test was like ten thousand soldiers trying to cross a single-log bridge at once.

Success meant a total transformation of one's destiny, promising a bright future on the path of the Dao.

No matter how insignificant their previous standing, becoming a Heaven Court official placed them high above the masses.

The potential for their future growth became limitless.

“I see.”

Executioner Immortal King was left in a state of shock, finding it difficult to believe. The system mirrored the imperial examinations used by mortal dynasties in the lower realms; he never imagined such a concept would be applied to the Heaven Court of the Immortal Realm.

Nevertheless, it was undeniably a practical strategy.

Given the abundance of exceptional Immortals in the Immortal World, the desire for official positions was universal.

Naturally, a rigorous selection process through imperial exams was necessary.

Once an individual secured a position in the Heaven Court, they stood superior to all other Immortals, possessing an infinite future.

Seeking one's Dao within the structure of the Heaven Court had become the shared ambition of many Immortals.

“Furthermore, becoming a City Lord involves more than just auxiliary Cultivation benefits.”

“By holding dominion over a region, it is as if they are channeling the entire power of that land.”

“This grants Heaven Court officials the ability to exert overwhelming force, sufficient to suppress any opposition.”

“In their respective territories, they are regarded as the most powerful Immortals.”

“Should anyone dare to instigate trouble within the city, the City Lord can apprehend them in an instant.”

“Because of this, the various cities across the Immortal World have become incredibly secure, and no one dares to disturb the peace.”

“Incidents like murder and the theft of treasures have been nearly wiped out, becoming remarkably rare.”

Several Cultivators from the Qingyun Sect engaged in a spirited discussion.

They too marveled at the massive transformations the Immortal World had undergone over the last ten billion years.

In the past, every city and region in the Immortal World was fraught with peril.

A moment of carelessness could lead to being ambushed by bandits, resulting in death and the loss of one's treasures.

However, since the implementation of the divine hierarchy system, such violent crimes had virtually vanished.

A City Lord wields total control over their region, sensing every presence and maintaining awareness of all recent events within their borders.

Thus, no matter what occurs, the City Lord is instantly alerted and can identify the perpetrator.

It is comparable to having an infinite number of surveillance eyes throughout the city, leaving no corner hidden.

This strikes fear into the hearts of Immortals, removing any temptation to gamble with the law.

Regardless of any hidden malice, the mere thought of the inevitable consequences ensures that no one dares to act out, resulting in a highly disciplined social order.

Presently, it is even common to see situations where dropped items are left for their owners and doors are left unlocked at night—a truly startling change.

“It’s no wonder the public safety in the cities I traveled through was so exceptional.”

“So, the divine hierarchy system is the cause?”

“If the deities of the Heaven Court are stationed in every corner of the Immortal World, naturally, no one would dare to behave recklessly.”

Executioner Immortal King finally understood.

He had always been an Immortal King who despised evil, unable to stomach corruption or injustice.

In the past, whenever he discovered someone breaking celestial laws, he would execute them without a second thought.

Yet, no matter how many he put to the sword, the Immortal World remained unchanged, and the general conduct of the Human clan showed no improvement.

At best, people were temporarily intimidated, but the old vices would always return after a time.

This had left Executioner Immortal King feeling quite despondent, as he saw no way to uproot such darkness.

Who could have predicted that the rise of the divine hierarchy would trigger such a radical evolution in the Immortal World?

This was the very future he had envisioned, yet it was the Xuan Huang Immortal King who had brought it to fruition.

He found himself at a loss for words.

“Certainly, no one would dare to strike.”

“Even if a perpetrator is powerful enough to evade a City Lord’s pursuit.”

“The Immortal World is vast, but nearly all of it falls under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Court.”

“Once a bounty is declared by the Heaven Court, the criminal is left with nowhere to hide.”

“Even if they flee to the furthest reaches of existence, it is a path to certain death.”

“Truly, over the last ten billion years, every single individual who violated the heavenly laws has been caught without fail.”

“This has pushed many criminals into a state of total despair.”

“If they do commit an offense, they often choose to remain where they are and turn themselves in, pleading for mercy.”
