Boundless clouds rose and shrouded the surroundings. Only the majestic sun hung high above the clouds, plating this vast sea of clouds with a layer of brilliant golden splendor.
A grand mountain gate lay in the middle of the sea of clouds. The mountain gate was deep green in color, upright and dignified. It looked as clear as jade and as clear as glass. Under the cover of the clouds, the Sunken Jade Mountain Gate appeared even more ethereal.
There were three large words on the horizontal plaque: Southern Heavenly Gate.
On both sides of the gate, there were two teams of golden-armored soldiers holding swords and sabers, looking dignified and mighty.
In the depths of the gate, there were rays of multicolored light and thick auspicious qi. One could faintly see the layers of palaces inside, emitting endless multicolored light.
In the records of the Milky Way Sword Sect, the Southern Heavenly Gate was the entrance to the Celestial World. Although the records also described the appearance of the Southern Heavenly Gate, seeing the majestic aura of the Southern Heavenly Gate with her own eyes still greatly shocked Jade Heart Fox.
Jade Heart Fox recalled the first time she went up the mountain as a child and was deeply shocked by the aura of the Milky Way Sword Sect. This time, she was even more shocked.
Such a celestial atmosphere was unimaginable.
"Colorful, it's quite flashy …"
Gao Zhengyang had to admit that the Celestial World was indeed magnificent. He had never seen such a magnificent palace in all his travels in the heavens.
However, he did not really appreciate this style. It was beautiful, but it always felt a bit empty. It did not have that kind of eternal depth and distance.
A golden chariot pulled by four horses flew over, stepping on layers of clouds. It stopped in front of Jade Heart Fox and Gao Zhengyang.
The carriage did not have a hood and looked a bit like a war chariot from the Spring and Autumn Period. A golden-armored deity stood proudly on it with a spear in hand. The golden-armored deity's face was pale gold, and he had purple eyebrows and blue eyes. He looked quite dignified.
The golden-armored deity's gaze swept between Gao Zhengyang and Jade Heart Fox before finally landing on Jade Heart Fox.
Jade Heart Fox had an aura that had been cleansed by tribulation lightning, pure and untainted, like the rising moon. She was definitely a cultivator who had just ascended. There was no mistake.
As for Gao Zhengyang, he should be her artifact spirit.
The golden-armored deity did not like Gao Zhengyang's unbridled gaze, but he did not want to argue with an artifact spirit. He said to Jade Heart Fox, "Those who have ascended from the lower realm, state your names."
Although the golden-armored deity's attitude was arrogant and cold, Jade Heart Fox did not dare to have any objections. She obediently lowered her head and saluted, "Jade Heart Fox of the Sky River Sword Sect greets the Divine General."
The golden-armored warrior nodded slightly, satisfied with Jade Heart Fox's obedient attitude. He continued coldly, "Ascending to the Immortal Realm makes one an Immortal. Don't mention the sects in the lower realms. "
Jade Heart Fox hurriedly nodded obediently.
The golden-armored deity continued, "I am the Hall Protector General Zi Mei of Chengguang Palace. Since you have accepted the invitation of Chengguang Palace, you are one of us. Come with me. "
Seeing that Jade Heart Fox was at a loss, Zi Mei said impatiently, "Get in the car."
It wasn't that Jade Heart Fox didn't understand. It was just that the other party didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to casually get on the car. She was also a little dissatisfied with this Divine General's attitude, but her little face was filled with obedience.
When they boarded the carriage, Jade Heart Fox saw that the Golden Armor General was standing. It was not appropriate for her to sit down, so she could only stand to the side.
Gao Zhengyang did not care about this and sat down on the seat.
The Golden Armor General's expression darkened as he said to Jade Heart Fox, "Put away your artifact spirit. The Immortal Realm's Heavenly Court does not tolerate unruly fellows. "
Jade Heart Fox did not want to offend the Golden Armor General, but Gao Zhengyang was her master. It was not her place to speak. She could only sneak a glance at Gao Zhengyang, asking for instructions on what to do.
Gao Zhengyang curled his lips slightly, "He's just a coachman. Why do you care about him?"
The Golden Armor General was furious and raised his eyebrows, "Impudent!"
Gao Zhengyang laughed instead, "Aren't you a coachman? If you have the guts, don't drive … "
Jade Heart Fox's face was full of worry. This master was too troublesome. He had just arrived in the Immortal Realm and he was already causing trouble. This Golden Armor General might not be much, but behind him was the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Court. He was not someone the two of them could afford to offend.
The Golden Armor General's pale golden face turned purple. He glared fiercely at Jade Heart Fox and said, "You just arrived in the Immortal Realm, and you already want to offend your superiors?"
Although Jade Heart Fox did not want to cause trouble, at this point, she could only follow Gao Zhengyang's footsteps. Her small face also darkened, "What do you mean by offending your superiors? Don't talk nonsense."
Jade Heart Fox was not confident, so her words were not imposing. The Golden Armor General did not expect Jade Heart Fox to dare retort. His expression changed, and he finally snorted coldly, not saying anything else.
Immortals who ascended did not have a low status in the Immortal Realm. The Divine Generals and Divine Soldiers who worked for the Heavenly Court were not actually of high rank. Gao Zhengyang's words were harsh, but they were not wrong. He was essentially a coachman. He had no authority to make things difficult for Jade Heart Fox.
Purple Brow had wanted to put on airs and bully the newcomer. He wanted to take advantage of the situation. But if he fell out with Jade Heart Fox and failed to receive her, he would be in big trouble when he returned.
Unexpectedly, Jade Heart Fox was so obedient before, but now she was so unyielding. Not only did Purple Brow not gain any advantage, but he was also humiliated. He was extremely angry.
Purple Brow could not do anything to Jade Heart Fox for the time being, but that did not mean he could not deal with her. He suppressed his anger and covered his face with his armor. With a shout, he urged the pegasus to gallop forward.
The pegasus was extremely fast. When the four horses exerted their strength, they were as fast as lightning, leaving a long trail in the sea of clouds.
Jade Heart Fox had also offended Purple Brow, so she sat down beside Gao Zhengyang. Her expression did not change, but she could not help but communicate with Gao Zhengyang, "Master, I'm afraid this person will think of ways to make things difficult for us."
"If you can't even deal with a coachman, then don't stay in the Immortal Realm."
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently.
Jade Heart Fox's bright eyes turned, and she probed, "Master is also from the Immortal Realm?"
"No."
Gao Zhengyang's direct answer immediately shattered Jade Heart Fox's little fantasy. She asked somewhat unwillingly, "Then what does Master want to do in the Immortal Realm?"
Jade Heart Fox was a smart person. She knew very well that Gao Zhengyang had helped her raise her cultivation and ascend. He had a purpose for all of this. Since he was not from the Immortal Realm, then why did he have to run to the Immortal Realm?
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Jade Heart Fox. "You don't have to worry about my matters."
Jade Heart Fox lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to say anything else.
Purple Brow, who was driving the carriage, did not say a word. After driving the carriage through the Southern Heavenly Gate, they sped all the way.
The sun rose and the moon set, the moon hid, and the sun rose. After the sun and moon went back and forth twice, Purple Brow's carriage finally stopped at the side door of a magnificent palace.
This palace had a total of eighteen floors, and from afar, it looked like a towering pagoda. When they got closer, they could see that the eighteen floors of the palace were folded together, looking like a painting hanging in the sky.
However, this painting was unusually large. Jade Heart Fox roughly estimated that it had a radius of several thousand miles. There were countless palaces and pavilions, and spirit birds circled in the sky. Maids and guards dressed neatly and gorgeously shuttled through the palaces.
Purple Brow drove the carriage and waited for a while, seemingly communicating with the people inside. Then, a golden light flew out from the depths of the painting and landed on the carriage.
When the golden light enveloped the carriage, Jade Heart Fox felt as if she was being forcefully shrunk by some kind of power. However, it seemed to be an illusion. When she completely regained consciousness, she was already at the entrance of a large hall.
There was a plaque hanging in the hall with the words "Cloud Pulp" written on it.
Purple Brow waved her hand and sternly scolded, "Get down."
Gao Zhengyang did not care about Purple Brow's evil behavior. He was quite curious about everything here. He brought Jade Heart Fox down from the carriage and directly entered the large hall.
The large hall was made of white jade and was spotless. When one's gaze swept across it, it seemed as if the clean jade would slide away. The interior of the large hall was very simple. There were only a few rows of huge bookshelves and a desk in front of the bookshelves.
A man wearing a purple ribbon immortal robe was writing something on a jade tablet with his head lowered. He did not seem to notice Jade Heart Fox and Gao Zhengyang, concentrating on his work.
Jade Heart Fox felt that this man's aura was deep and profound, far surpassing that of Purple Brow and herself. Knowing that this was a big shot, she did not dare to be presumptuous and stood there obediently.
However, Gao Zhengyang did not have any reservations. It was as if he was in his own home. He went to the bookshelf and flipped through the books on it.
Most of these books were made of beautiful jade. Pieces of beautiful jade were bound together like the pages of a book.
Gao Zhengyang opened a book, and thousands of words appeared on the glossy pages. There were also various light and shadow patterns, and even sounds and smells and so on.
Each book was like an illusory world. Even with Gao Zhengyang's powerful divine sense, he could not immediately grasp all the contents of the book.
The book in his hand was a record book that recorded the shifts of duty in the Hall of Bearing Light. It was written that in a certain year, an Immortal was ordered to go to the Gemini Star for duty.
This page recorded in detail the Immortal's 300 years of duty in the Gemini Star.
Gao Zhengyang flipped through it and had a direct understanding of the Hall of Bearing Light and the Heaven Realm. As the saying goes, one can see a leopard through a tube.
With his experience and wisdom, he could see many things just by looking at the Immortal's duty record.
It must be said that the Immortal Realm was more complicated and dangerous than Gao Zhengyang had previously speculated.
Gao Zhengyang switched to another book and found that it was the duty record of another Immortal. However, the content of the book was much more bloody.
It was a hellish place, with countless ghostlike creatures besieging the Immortals. The Immortal fought there for a hundred years. His soul was polluted and he almost died.
He barely made it through the hundred years of duty and came back alive to hand in the mission.
At this time, the man who was immersed in his work looked up and said to Gao Zhengyang, "These are the Hall's secrets. You have no right to read them right now."
The man's attitude was mild, but his tone was very formal.
Gao Zhengyang put down the book indifferently. It should be full of duty records. Reading two books was enough.
The man's expression relaxed and a smile appeared on his face. He introduced himself, "My name is Yun Guang, the Palace Lord of Cloudy Dew Palace. He can be considered as the External Affairs Manager of Chengguang Palace. "
Speaking of the Foreign Affairs Chief, Yun Guang revealed a self-deprecating smile.
Jade Heart Fox hurriedly bowed. "Disciple Jade Heart Fox greets Palace Master."
Yun Guang waved his hand, "We're all immortals, we only differ in rank, not age. You don't have to call yourself a disciple. "
The Celestial World was not like other places. Being someone's elder meant bearing a lot of karma. The Jade Heart Fox was very cute, but Yun Guang had no interest in finding trouble for himself.
Jade Heart Fox had failed to curry favor with him. Her small face did not change, but she could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Palace Master, I've just arrived in the Immortal World, so I don't know anything. Please give me some pointers, Palace Master. "
Yun Guang sighed softly, "Since you've come to Bearer Light Palace Hall, you're one of us. I might as well tell you the truth. The Bearer Palace is one of the Seven Outer Palaces and is responsible for guarding the southwest border of the Immortal World. There are no easy jobs here. "
Jade Heart Fox was a little stunned. There were no idle errands? You still have to work after ascending to the Immortal World? What was going on?
Ascending to the Immortal World was all for the sake of longevity and freedom. Who would want to do any errands?
Jade Heart Fox felt that something was wrong. She carefully asked, "Palace Master, what kind of errands do I have to do?"
Yun Guang did not hide anything and explained to Jade Heart Fox, "The southwest border of the Immortal World faces the Evil Spirit Realm and the Asura Realm. In addition, there are all kinds of void demons. There are a total of sixteen islands that need to be guarded … "
The more Jade Heart Fox listened, the colder her heart became. She had thought that she had come to the Immortal World to enjoy life, but she did not expect that she would have to work hard for the Immortal World.
Yun Guang's introduction was very clear. There were five Emperors in the Immortal World, each ruling over five areas. The Bearer Light Palace was one of the seven palaces under the White Emperor. It was responsible for guarding the southwest border. Its position was the most important, and it was tied with the Golden Sun Palace that guarded the northwest.
Everyone who ascended from the lower realms would basically be sent to guard the border. Generally speaking, they had to be on duty for at least a thousand years, constantly accumulating merit points to advance.
After becoming a consecrator, they could be transferred to the other palaces and enjoy the various benefits of the Immortal World.
Of course, there were actually some ascenders with strong foundations who entered the inner palaces as soon as they arrived. They did not need to suffer on duty. Like Jade Heart Fox, who was directly selected by the Bearer Light Palace, could be said to be extremely unlucky.
Yun Guang said to Jade Heart Fox, "According to common sense, you can go to the outer palaces to rest for ten years. However, Zi Mei directly sent you here, so you can only go on duty now. "
Jade Heart Fox gritted her teeth in anger. This Zi Mei actually dared to treat her like this. One day, she would definitely take revenge.
She secretly made up her mind, and then turned to plead with Yun Guang with a face full of smiles, "Palace Master, I have just arrived and do not understand anything. Moreover, I have just passed the lightning tribulation and am mentally exhausted. I do not have the strength to go on duty. Palace Master, please be merciful and let me rest for a period of time. "
Yun Guang smiled, "There is no other way. After you enter the main hall, the Heaven Wheel will automatically rotate. If you do not go on duty, then I can only go in your place. "
Jade Heart Fox was about to cry, but Yun Guang was not moved at all. Her bright eyes turned to look at Gao Zhengyang, hoping that he could stand up and solve the problem.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head at Jade Heart Fox, "When you were cleansing your soul, you were planted in the Bearer Light Palace Talisman. You cannot run away."
This kind of Celestial World Talisman fused with Jade Heart Fox's soul. Gao Zhengyang could take it out, but it would cause great harm to Jade Heart Fox. Moreover, the Celestial World's spiritual energy was extremely overbearing. Without the talisman to protect her, Jade Heart Fox would quickly be corroded by the Celestial World's spiritual energy and eventually be assimilated by it.
Of course, this was also because Jade Heart Fox's cultivation was too low. For someone like Gao Zhengyang who had an indestructible divine body, it was difficult to break through ten thousand tribulations. Mere spiritual energy did not pose any threat to him.
Jade Heart Fox was a little desperate, "Then what should I do?"
Gao Zhengyang comforted her, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You go on duty first and see what happens. "
Jade Heart Fox looked pitifully at Gao Zhengyang, "Master, you cannot abandon me."
"Hahaha …"
Gao Zhengyang laughed, this Jade Heart Fox really knew how to pretend to be pitiful. He said, "You do not need to be afraid, with me here, you will not die."
Although Gao Zhengyang's words were not pleasant to hear, it made Jade Heart Fox feel especially comforted.
Yun Guang could not hear the conversation between Gao Zhengyang and Jade Heart Fox, but he could roughly guess. He could not see through Gao Zhengyang's depth, so he also had a higher opinion of Jade Heart Fox.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Although it is impossible to adjust the rotation, more pills and immortal artifacts can be distributed. This can be considered compensation for you. "
As he spoke, Yun Guang reached out and lightly tapped the jade chime on the side of the table. A maid in palace attire floated over from the side door. After she deeply bowed to Yun Guang, she stood there silently waiting for instructions.
The maid's facial features were exquisite, and her eyes were full of spirit. But no matter how one looked at her, there was an indescribable dullness to her. She was like a puppet with strings pulled.
Yun Guang ordered, "Go, take her to choose what she needs for her rotation. Give her double. "
The maid bowed again, then said to Jade Heart Fox, "Please come with me."
Jade Heart Fox hesitated for a moment, then followed the maid.
Gao Zhengyang did not follow, the things that Yun Guang gave him were not worth his attention.
He came to the Immortal World mainly to find a way back to the Human World. However, the Immortal World was more complicated and dangerous than he imagined. His divine sense was greatly restricted, even more so than in the Qi Refinement realm.
Without the senses of his divine sense, it was a bit difficult to find a way home in the vast and endless Immortal World.
Gao Zhengyang also tried to contact Pegasus Little Red, Yu Qingwei, and the others, but he could not contact them.
The laws of the Immortal World were heavy, both mysterious and complex. It did not have many restrictions on his own power, but it was difficult for him to use his divine sense and spiritual power.
Gao Zhengyang understood that he had to master the laws of this world to make adjustments and release his divine sense and spiritual power again.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang had another choice, and that was to use force. After all, the Immortal World was a spatial world. As long as he used all his power, it was not too difficult to make a hole.
The problem was that breaking the restrictions of the Immortal World might not be able to find the way home. More worrisome was that there were five Divine Lord-level powerhouses in the Immortal World.
Once they were alarmed, the situation would be very difficult to control.
Although Gao Zhengyang was confident, he also knew that fighting the Divine Masters head-on now was courting death. Therefore, unless there was no other way, he would not choose to fight forcefully.
Although the Immortal World was not so friendly and peaceful, it was also full of opportunities. He had to wait and see first, then think of a way.
Yun Guang saw that Gao Zhengyang did not say anything, so he did not say anything either. Although Gao Zhengyang looked very powerful, he was the Palace Master of Cloudy Jade Palace, controlling the life and death of many Immortals in Bearer Light Palace. Naturally, he would not deliberately try to befriend Gao Zhengyang.
Yun Guang lowered his head and continued working. After a while, the maid returned with Jade Heart Fox.
After a while, Jade Heart Fox had changed greatly.
She wore a hibiscus crown on her head, a purple sash immortal robe, a pendant at her waist, and cloud-walking boots. She held a jade horsetail whisk in her hand and carried an ancient, brightly colored immortal sword on her back.
In terms of appearance, she really did have the air of an immortal.
Jade Heart Fox was clearly very satisfied with her appearance, and her little face was full of uncontrollable smiles.
Yun Guang nodded slightly. "The Purple Cloud Immortal Robe can resist many external attacks. It has endless uses and is the most precious. The rest are also rare immortal artifacts. Only the Immortals on duty in the outer palace can directly receive them. "
