"Greetings to Laojun, greetings to the Great Envoy, greetings to the three Taoist Lords." Everyone bowed in unison.

The Supreme Lord waved the whisk in his hand and said slowly, "No need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Master." Everyone thanked him again and then stood up straight.

The next step is the bestowal ceremony, which is the most important thing and is equivalent to the "graduation certificate" issued to you by the Dongshen Temple.

With a graduation certificate issued by the Cave God Hall, you will be a super-grade immortal official when you start in the Heavenly Court, and at the very least a True Lord-level title when you go to the Taoist sect.

Then, Xuandu Daojun held the list in his hand. Every time a name was called, that person would step forward and first salute Taishang Laojun, then the three Daojuns, and finally the surrounding immortal masters. …

After completing the ceremony, he stood in front of Taishang Laojun, who took a cave god jade talisman from the jade plate in Yunzhongzi Daojun's hand and gave it to him.

After the recipient receives the Cave God Jade Talisman, he or she should once again pay homage to the Jade Emperor and everyone else, and then can step aside and wait.

Time passed slowly, and Fang Jian was the last one to come forward to receive the talisman. After taking the Cave God Jade Talisman, he performed the student's etiquette to Taishang Laojun and the immortal masters of the Cave God Hall, and then stepped aside.

Next, the Supreme Lord spoke: "You are not the first group of immortal officials to graduate from the Cave God Hall, nor are you the last. I have nothing more to say, but I advise you that once you leave the Cave God Hall, you must always consider the lives of the people and uphold righteousness and reject evil. If you fall into evil and do not follow the right path in the future, Heaven will surely punish you. I hope you will remember this."

If these words were spoken by an ordinary god, the deterrent effect would be just so-so, but when spoken by Taishang Laojun, the effect is completely different.

In an instant, the eleven graduated immortal officials present were startled and bowed, saying, "We will definitely remember Laojun's teachings."

Taishang Laojun nodded, then glanced at Dongji Qinghua Great Emperor. Dongji Qinghua Great Emperor bowed to Laojun, then stepped forward. He looked at the eleven graduated immortal officials and said, "Congratulations, colleagues! You have made great strides forward. After graduating from the Cave God Hall, you will become true pillars of the Heavenly Court. I will not say anything more. Three days from now, at the hour of Mao in the Earth Calendar, all of you will gather outside the Lingxiao Palace to await the imperial edict and meet with the Jade Emperor. At that time, your ranks and official positions will be determined, and you will be granted divine positions!"

Hearing the words of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor, everyone present was greatly encouraged and immediately bowed and said, "We will obey the order of the Great Lord!"
