After passing through ten thousand miles of wind, thunder, and fire, the thirty-three layers of the Celestial Court could be vaguely seen.
Along the way, Ye Xuan could see immortals riding on clouds flying past him. All of them were heading towards the Southern Heaven Gate. Clearly, they were all immortals participating in the Feast of Peaches.
In front of the Southern Heaven Gate.
The Four Heavenly Kings were guarding the gate. More than a thousand immortals from the lower world were gathered here, waiting for the Four Heavenly Kings to check their jade passes before they could enter the Celestial Court.
Ye Xuan was riding on a cloud, his body glowing with Taiyi Immortal Light. At this moment, he had transformed into Immortal Qing Huo. Naturally, many immortals greeted him, and Ye Xuan nodded slightly in response.
"Oh you, why did you take so long to arrive? If you were late for the Feast of Peaches, you'd be crying, old man."
Suddenly, a Taoist Huang Shan came in front of Ye Xuan and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder familiarly. Without waiting for Ye Xuan's response, he pulled Ye Xuan's arm and walked quickly towards the Southern Heaven Gate.
A speck of immortal light flashed past Ye Xuan's eyes. The force that was about to send Taoist Huang Shan flying immediately retracted. Clearly, this Taoist Huang Shan must be good friends with Immortal Qing Huo. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so intimately.
"I say, Qing Huo, you old man, you told me to wait here a year ago. You came to the Celestial Court a year late. You should know that I fought hard for you to be able to participate in the Feast of Peaches. Oh you …"
Taoist Huang Shan chattered on, his words carrying a hint of blame. Clearly, the Feast of Peaches was too important. Although there were still three years before it officially started, it was best to enter the Celestial Court as soon as possible.
"Eh?"
Taoist Huang Shan turned around and looked at Ye Xuan with a strange look. He was sizing up Ye Xuan from head to toe. This made Ye Xuan slightly stunned. A hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes.
"You usually talk big and talk. Did the sun rise from the west today? Why are you so quiet?" Taoist Huang Shan ridiculed.
"Now that I've entered the Celestial Court, I have to be cautious. If I offend a great deity like I did in the Mortal World, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?" Ye Xuan's killing intent dissipated. He knew that the other party had not seen through his true identity, which allowed him to find a random excuse.
Taoist Huang Shan's real name was Exalted Immortal Green Pine. He was a Grand Unity Mystic Immortal and was a good friend of Exalted Immortal Qing Huo. He was also a famous itinerant Immortal in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Taoist Huang Shan was slightly stunned. Then, he nodded and said, "You're right, old man. As the saying goes, the more one talks, the more mistakes one makes. This time, the deities of the Celestial Court are gathered here. Although you and I are in the Grand Unity Realm, we still have to be careful not to offend the other deities."
After a simple conversation, Ye Xuan chatted with this person for a while. However, it was just some general conversation. Although Taoist Huang Shan felt that his old friend was a little different today, his aura and cultivation were undoubtedly that of Exalted Immortal Qing Huo. This allowed him to suppress this strange feeling.
After all, the two had not seen each other for a hundred years. Deities cultivated their bodies and minds, so it was not strange for their temperament to change.
Taoist Huang Shan's doubts were cleared. While the two were chatting, the deities in front of them had already entered the Celestial Court. Finally, it was their turn to arrive at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
"Who are you? Tell me your name. Do you have the jade token of the Celestial Court?" Dhrtarastra asked in a dignified manner. Although he was only a Grand Unity Xuan Immortal, he was still an important minister in the Celestial Court. Naturally, he was not someone who could be compared to a Rogue Immortal.
"I'm Taoist Qing Huo, and this is my good friend, Taoist Qing Huo. This is the jade token of the Celestial Court. Please check it, Your Majesty," Taoist Qing Huo said with a smile. He quickly took out the jade token and let Dhrtarastra check it.
Ye Xuan handed over the jade token without saying a word. Then, he calmly stood in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate and waited for Dhrtarastra to finish checking it.
"I can tell you that this Immortal Peach Banquet is a grand occasion for the Three Realms. Once you enter the Heavenly Court, you must follow the rules and not cause any trouble. If you violate the laws of the Heavens, you will definitely be punished for your crimes." The Dhrtarastra casually tossed the jade tablet to Ye Xuan and the other two, and even pretended to be dignified as he warned the two of them.
"Yes, yes, yes. Rest assured, Your Majesty. How would we dare to cause trouble in the Celestial Court?" Taoist Qing Huo said with a flattering smile. Dhrtarastra nodded in satisfaction and then indicated that they could enter the Celestial Court.
"Celestial Empress Ziwei has arrived!"
Suddenly, before Ye Xuan and Taoist Huang Shan could enter the Celestial Court, an Immortal official hurriedly announced. The Immortals in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate paled and all looked behind them.
The Immortal Light of the Great Firmament rippled slightly as a golden jade carriage flew across the sky. A boy and girl accompanied the carriage on both sides. Celestial Empress Ziwei sat cross-legged in the middle of the golden bead curtain. Her imperial robes were intimidating.
"Greetings, Celestial Empress Ziwei."
The Immortals bowed and the Four Heavenly Kings quickly stepped forward to welcome her. However, the Four Heavenly Kings were slightly pale. Clearly, Celestial Empress Ziwei and the Jade Emperor had fallen out during the battle of the Celestial Court. They were already at odds with each other. Several thousand years later, Celestial Empress Ziwei had arrived at the Celestial Court. This naturally made the Four Heavenly Kings tremble. They were deeply afraid that Celestial Empress Ziwei was making things difficult for them.
Of course, the Four Heavenly Kings were overthinking things. Celestial Empress Ziwei was Daluo Jinxian. She would not lower herself to the Four Heavenly Kings' level. Her jade carriage did not stop at all. It directly passed through the Southern Heavenly Gate and headed for Ziwei's Star Palace.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Looking at the back of Celestial Empress Ziwei's jade carriage, the Pine Tree Daoist's eyes were filled with envy. "This is Daluo Jinxian. Legend has it that Celestial Empress Ziwei's cultivation is at the Third Firmament of Grand Firmament. She is a revered figure in this world."
Ye Xuan smiled when he heard the Pine Tree Daoist's words. However, a strange look flashed across his eyes when he opened them. He did not expect his Daoist brother to arrive so early. He still had not expressed his gratitude for Celestial Empress Ziwei's help back then.
Of course, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry to reunite with Celestial Empress. This was because he had just returned to the Celestial Court. He still had some things to do.
After all, the Jade Emperor had been in charge of the Celestial Court for countless years. Even though Ye Xuan was confident that he could kill the Jade Emperor, if he wanted to seize the Celestial Emperor's position, although force was one of the factors, there were some things that could not be solved by force.
Planning step by step and killing in one strike had always been Ye Xuan's principle. He never did anything that he was not confident in. This was also one of the reasons why he had been able to survive until now.
After crossing the Southern Heaven Gate and entering the Thirty-Third Celestial Court, there were already immortal officials leading the way for Ye Xuan and the other Loose Immortals from the lower realm. In a short while, Ye Xuan and the other Immortals from the lower realm were brought to the Celestial Palace.
The Celestial Palace.
It was the residence of the Immortals from the lower realm who came to the Celestial Court. Over a thousand Loose Immortals from the lower realm were arranged here. Although the reception was not too luxurious, the thousands of dojos in the Celestial Palace were enough to accommodate these Immortals from the lower realm.
Of course, if an Allheaven Realm Immortal entered the Celestial Court, they would naturally have their own palace to live in, not to mention the extraordinary Daluo Jinxian.
