BOOM! A ray of light slammed into the center of heaven.
"Who, who's ascending into heaven?"
"What a fuss."
"Most heavenly cultivators only cause a quake or two, but this guy-"
"It seems like the sky is about to collapse!"
"This guy must be extremely talented in cultivation!"
"Luck favors this guy!"
"Fortune smiles on him!"
"Extraordinary!"
"Hey, if you remember 5 years ago, the Sect Leader Jin, Jin Ling, also had a big-"
"Ugh, don't bring him up again."
"Hmph. Let's see who this lucky dog is."
Suddenly, a blast of wind erupted, and it was over. A young cultivator opened his eyes, and smiled. He wore white robes where a single bell hung on his side.
"WHAT?!" all the cultivators yelled. "It's him again?!"
"Ahem," a women in black robes, named Ling Wen, emerged from the crowd towards Jin Ling. "Jin Ling, welcome back."
"Ahh, haha, yes, I'm back." Jin Ling nervously chuckled.
Disappointed, but not surprised, all of the cultivators left for their own affairs. With no place to go, Jin Ling just wandered around heaven. Suddenly, a goddess approached him, telling him to meet Ling Wen.
"Ok." Jin Ling replied. "Thank you."
Jin Ling walked down to the civil goddess' palace. Inside, there were hundreds of civil gods and goddesses picking up and dropping off scrolls, all with heavy dark eye circles. Walking past them, he made it to Ling Wen, who was reading a scroll.
"Uhh... Ling Wen?" Jin Ling asked. "You wanted me?"
"Ah, yes." Ling Wen said. "Actually, let's go to the *Spiritual Communication Array to discuss with other cultivators."
"Do you still remember the password?" Ling Wen explained.
"Yeah." Jin Ling said.

"Is everyone here?" Ling Wen asked.
"Yes, everyone is." one cultivator replied.
"There have been reports of movement near the Burial Mounds in Yiling." Ling Wen informed. "The prayers say that wisps of resentful energy have entered that town. Can someone spare 2 heavenly officials to help the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Oh? I heard that the Heavenly Emperor is not going to Yiling." one cultivator informed. "Ling Wen, you must be asking for someone, right?"
"Of course, it must be that Jin Ling!" another spoke.
"Haha, no believers, no incense offerings, and no palaces." another mocked.
"Haha, I told you nobody would be willing." Jin Ling told Ling Wen telepathically.
Jin Ling couldn't really bear it any longer, so he decided to jump in the conversation. "Ah, yes, I'm back everyone." Jin Ling proclaimed.
"Sect Leader Jin really made a big fuss over there." one cultivator said, sarcastically.
"Uhh, haha, it's alright." Jin Ling replied, no knowing what to say. "Sir, what is your name."
Suddenly, all the cultivators started laughing. "He even forgot about this."
"Jin Ling, that is Jingyi." Ling Wen informed.
"Ji- Jingyi?" Jin Ling replied, confused. "You mean Lan Jingyi?"
*The Spiritual Communication Array is used to communicate telepathically with heavenly cultivators.
**Sometimes, heavenly cultivators are referred to as generals.
