Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

Journey to the West, Heavenly Court!

South Heaven Gate!

Golden-scaled, sun-illuminated, crimson-bearded dragons coiled around the massive pillars of the South Heaven Gate, exuding immense power and majesty.

On either side stood dozens of golden-armored gatekeepers, each upright and stalwart, holding spears and banners, full of vigor.

However, in this otherwise solemn place, a lazy figure stood out like a sore thumb.

"Ugh... ha... damn it, I don't want to work..."

Chu Hao strolled over, stretching languidly.

Chu Hao had transmigrated into this body over a hundred years ago, and his initial excitement had gradually faded into disappointment.

This was because Chu Hao's position was low and his strength insufficient. After arriving in the Heavenly Court, he was only fit to be a gate guard.

His direct superior, the Celestial King of Growth, consistently exploited them, these low-ranking soldiers, by seizing their cultivation pills through trickery and coercion, resorting to beatings and scolding at the slightest provocation.

Chu Hao harbored resentment in his heart, but could only endure it.

The Heavenly Realm was filled with extremely complex rules and regulations, and one could easily be charged with a serious crime. No one dared to offend the Celestial King of Growth, and they all swallowed their anger.

In the Three Realms, only immortals with high positions, great authority, and immense power could live freely and unfettered.

However, at that moment, the others standing guard suddenly became serious, standing at attention and shouting in unison:

"Celestial King of Growth!"

Chu Hao lazily looked over and saw a burly man wielding a sword of wisdom. It was indeed one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Celestial King of Growth.

However, the approaching Celestial King of Growth was extremely strange:

His face was twisted and ferocious, and instead of a protective aura of spiritual light, he was covered in a miasma of baleful energy, as if he had crawled out of hell.

"Die! All of you, die!"

As soon as the Celestial King of Growth arrived, he furiously swung the great sword in his hand, now corrupted by baleful energy, towards the crowd.

"Celestial King, what's wrong with you?! The Celestial King is mad, run!"

The Celestial King of Growth's eight generals – Pang, Liu, Xun, Bi, Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao – upon hearing the Celestial King of Growth's battle cry, quickly scattered and fled.

The Celestial King of Growth was at the Celestial Immortal realm, and his strength was a hundred or even a thousand times greater than that of the many heavenly soldiers and generals present!

Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Sage, and beyond that were the realms of the Saints.

Each major realm was further divided into four minor realms: Initial, Intermediate, Late, and Completion.

No one present could possibly defeat the Celestial King of Growth.

To not run was to court death!

Chu Hao, who had been dozing off on the side, was startled by the commotion!

"Damn it, has the Celestial King of Growth gone mad?!"

"What's wrong, why is he coming towards me?!"

Chu Hao wanted to slip away, but the Celestial King of Growth rushed towards Chu Hao like a madman.

In that instant, Chu Hao felt as if he was being targeted by a primordial beast, needles pricking his back, unable to move.

Chu Hao fighting the Celestial King of Growth? A Human Immortal fighting a Celestial Immortal? There was no chance!

Was he just going to wait for death?

Chu Hao felt extremely unwilling! How could he fall here!

But at that moment, a voice rang out in Chu Hao's mind.

[Ding! Activating the Supreme Check-in System!]

[This system is dedicated to helping the host become a 9-to-5, society-contributing blessed youth. As long as you clock in and out on time every day, you will receive supreme rewards!]

Chu Hao was going crazy. He was about to die, and now the system was activating?!

[Reward for clocking in: One million years!]

In the next second, Chu Hao felt a warm current erupt in his body, and his cultivation was rapidly soaring!

Human Immortal Intermediate, Late, Completion!

Breakthrough——

Earth Immortal Realm!

And Chu Hao's realm was still climbing!

One second later——

Breakthrough, Celestial Immortal!

One must know that even the Celestial King of Growth, one of the Four Guardian Kings, was only at the Celestial Immortal realm.

But Chu Hao's realm was still soaring!

In another second, Chu Hao directly broke through to Celestial Immortal Completion!

Breakthrough!

True Immortal Initial!

After death, the primordial spirit could escape, and the memories of a hundred lifetimes would not be extinguished!

True Immortal realm, a strongman!

Born as a human, freaking awesome!

At this time, Chu Hao also received his first work task.

[Today's task: How dare a bold superior talk to me like that? You must be tired of living! (Kill the Celestial King of Growth)]

[Reward: Eight [Nine Mysterious Techniques]]

Chu Hao's advancement was only a fleeting moment.

From the outside, Chu Hao seemed to be stunned, still standing in place.

The heavenly soldiers and generals, seeing that Chu Hao was about to be killed by the Celestial King of Growth's sword, were filled with sorrow.

The Celestial King of Growth was a Dharma-honoring Celestial King, and they were like chickens and dogs in front of him.

Could anyone possibly resist the Celestial King of Growth?

However, in the next second, everyone was dumbfounded!

"How dare a bold superior attack me? You're rebelling!"

Throughout the heavens and earth, only Chu Hao's full-throated roar could be heard.

Everyone was stunned, and upon closer inspection, they were even more frightened!

The baleful energy corrupted sword strike of the Celestial King of Growth was actually caught by Chu Hao barehanded!

The eight generals cried out in unison:

"Holy crap!!!"
