Chong An glanced upward and felt that Dai Tingzhi, seated above, possessed unfathomable cultivation. Yet his aura felt somewhat different from theirs.
That was because Dai Tingzhi was a Turbid Canon cultivator, while he was a true cultivator.
Although Zhang Yu was also a mystic cultivator, his cultivation was high enough that Chong An could not detect anything at all.
Dai Tingzhi was reviewing documents at that moment. The two waited there, and only after a while did he raise his head, take a sip of tea, and look at Chong An. "You are the Mystic Venerable from the Ordered Realm?"
Zeng Nu had also learned from the talisman edict Zhang Yu left behind that his heaven and earth was called the "Ordered Realm" here in Celestial Xia. Thus, he said, "I am Chong An, a cultivator born in the Ordered Realm."
Dai Tingzhi took up a jade slip that recorded what Chong An had done in the Ordered Realm. After glancing through it, he set it down and said, "All who come here from the Lower Layer must assume duties and responsibilities. Where do you wish to go?"
Chong An replied, "This junior is unfamiliar with Celestial Xia, so I will leave everything to Senior's arrangements."
Dai Tingzhi gave him a look. "That is well enough. I have just reviewed this. You restored peace to an entire region, so you are one who has rendered merit. Moreover, your actions accord with Celestial Xia's Dao principles. Therefore, I will grant you a post. You may serve as a patrol in the void. Are you willing?"
Chong An said, "This junior is willing."
Dai Tingzhi asked nothing further. He picked up his brush, wrote several characters, stamped them with his seal, and had a disciple beside him hand the document over.
