Not long after, Shi Kuang resigned from his position as the Celestial Court's Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs. At the same time, he made arrangements for the Celestial Music Sect and became a relatively free person.
Qin Di sent his clone, Shi Cang, to follow Shi Kuang and embark on a new journey.
Shi Kuang walked in front with empty hands. His sleeves fluttered as he kept the Soul Severing Zither in his grotto-heaven.
He was a famous Celestial Music Grandmaster and had performed in many places. Thus, many people knew him.
Don't worry about not having a confidant in the road ahead. Who in the world doesn't know you?
But knowing him was one thing. If he was just an ordinary Rank 6 Sengoku, then people would have limited respect for him. After all, not everyone liked celestial music. Some people only knew how to practice the saber their entire lives. How could they show respect to an Celestial Music Grandmaster?
Qin Di followed behind Shi Kuang with a mystic-grade sword on his back. It was sheathed in a crocodile skin sheath.
He smiled and said, "Master, from today onwards, I will be your sword boy. My name is Shi Cang, not Qin Di. I am a disciple of the Celestial Music Sect. I am infatuated with the zither and sword. When we pass through later, don't call me by the wrong name! "
Shi Kuang looked at him and smiled faintly. "I only saw you play the zither, but I didn't know you liked to practice the sword. What sword art have you learned? You don't have a sword on your back just for show, right? "
Qin Di smiled. "Master, don't underestimate me. I am proficient in sword arts. You will know in the future. If we encounter enemies, you just need to play the zither and be in charge of the enemies in the distance. As a sword boy, I will be in charge of killing people coming in and out. Even if the enemies risk their lives to get within 300 feet of you, I can guarantee your safety. "
Shi Kuang chuckled. "Shi Cang, when you brag, it's like it's real. I can't tell if it's real or fake."
"Master, I will never brag in front of you."
"Then tell me, when did you learn sword arts?"
"Master, when I was in the Spirit Realm, I entered the White Emperor's Palace."
"The Spiritual Realm. The White Emperor Palace in the Spiritual Realm is at most an outer disciple in the Immortal Realm. How can they learn any brilliant sword arts?"
"Hehe, this disciple has received the true teachings …"
As the master and disciple spoke, they flew towards the south.
The further they flew, the higher the terrain became. In the distance, there was a towering mountain towering over the southern horizon.
Shi Kuang pointed at the mountain and said, "There's a city gate at the top of that majestic mountain. It's the Southern Heavenly Gate."
Qin Di gazed into the distance and saw that the mountain was extremely tall. He didn't know how many feet it was from the ground, but it looked like a thick and huge heavenly pillar. The white clouds were still at its foot. There was a glittering golden palace at the top of the mountain. It should be the Lingxiao Hall. In front of the Lingxiao Hall, there was a tall gate. It might be the legendary Southern Heavenly Gate.
If Qin Di wanted to go alone, he would never choose the Southern Heavenly Gate! Whether it was the Eastern Heavenly Gate controlled by the Tenru Sect, the Western Heavenly Gate controlled by the Buddhist Sects, or the Northern Heavenly Gate controlled by the Devil Sects, he could go through all of them. At least, it was better than choosing the Southern Heavenly Gate. This was because the Southern Heavenly Gate was controlled by the Lingxiao Hall, and he was secretly standing opposite of the Lingxiao Hall.
However, Shi Kuang was Shi Kuang's sword boy now, so it was a different story.
Although Shi Kuang wasn't an Immortal Emperor, he had a high reputation, especially after he advanced to the eighth rank Sengoku. His strength skyrocketed by two levels, so ordinary Sengoku didn't dare to look down on him. All the Jin Xian had to look up to him. He brought a sword boy and ascended the Southern Heavenly Gate, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the towering mountain.
Shi Kuang gave up flying in the air and walked up the winding mountain path.
"Shi Kuang, this is the rule set by the Jade Emperor. You're not allowed to fly around the Lingxiao Hall."
"Yes, disciple understands. Let's just walk up. "
The two quickly walked up the mountain step by step.
The mountain was too tall! The mountain path was winding, and it seemed like it would never end! Both sides of the mountain path were full of jasper flowers and jade trees, but they were all carved from gold and jade. They weren't real immortal trees, and there were no immortal fruits to be picked.
After walking for three months, they finally got close to the peak of the mountain!
Qin Di looked back at the mountain path and couldn't help but sigh, "Master, if everyone walks like this, even if there's urgent news, I'm afraid it'll be too late by the time we reach the Lingxiao Hall!"
Shi Kuang snorted, "What's three months? The lively people living on the mountain peak are all cultivators above the Jin Xian level. They don't have a lifespan limit, so what if they get the news three months late? "
"This efficiency is way too low."
"Immortals don't care about efficiency, they only care about right and wrong."
"No wonder we haven't been able to take down the demon monkey after so many years!"
"Soon, not long ago, the Jade Emperor sent someone to invite the Buddha. If the Buddhism Sect interferes, the demon monkey won't be able to escape. "
Qin Di fell silent. This was what was described in the Journey to the West. The Buddha suppressed the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain. Could it be that this time, the Monkey King would face the same fate?
Thinking about it, it was entirely possible. When the Buddhism Sect held the meeting on Spiritual Mountain, they expressed that they wanted to maintain the status quo and fight for the stability of the celestial and mortal worlds. No matter who became the Celestial Emperor, the Buddhism Sect would cooperate. If that was the case, Senior Brother Monkey King would be in great trouble!
He thought, "Not only Senior Brother Monkey King, even if it was me, if I was the culprit and caused chaos in the world, I would also be suppressed by the Buddhism Sect. Perhaps it was because of this reason that Patriarch Bodhi didn't participate in the Spiritual Mountain Dharma Assembly and chose to watch from the side. He chased the Monkey King out of the sect and told me not to expose my experience of studying at the Lingtai Fangcun Mount. Obviously, he has already seen through it. "
After another three days, the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain.
Looking over, the first thing they saw was a tall door. There were two thick purplish golden pillars and a wide beam above them. In the middle of the beam, the words "Southern Heavenly Gate" were constantly emitting golden light!
On the beam were three mirrors. They were "Demon Revealing Mirror", "Soul Summoning Mirror" and "See-Through Mirror".
If it was a person transformed by the Goblin, or a person who reincarnated, or even a living being hidden in the cave, none of them would be able to escape the light of these three celestial mirrors.
At this time, a tall Immortal Monarch wearing a golden robe appeared and said in a clear voice, "Immortal Monarch Shi, didn't you resign from your post? Why are you here again? Don't tell me you want to go to the Lingxiao Hall to take attendance? But look, what time is it now? "
Shi Kuang cupped his hands and said, "Marshal Ma, I want to go to the Sanqing Realm!"
This Marshal Ma also had an eye between his eyebrows. It was similar to True Lord Erlang's vertical eye, but smaller and dimmer. He laughed and said, "The Sanqing Realm is a good place! Every Jin Xian and Sengoku wants to go there! Now, Shi Sengoku has gone up another level. I am really envious. Who's that person behind you? "
Shi Kuang said calmly, "This is my sword boy, Shi Cang!"
"Have you recorded him into the sect's disciple list?"
"Of course. Shi Cang is a disciple of the Celestial Music Sect. He has been learning the zither from me for 100,000 years. "
"Did you bring your identity token?"
"Shi Cang, take out the Celestial Music Sect token and let Marshal Ma see it!"
Qin Di took out a token and handed it over. He had many kinds of tokens on him, so he could take out any one he wanted. He was a level-nine Celestial Artifact Master. Ever since he had forged a God Artifact, he could be said to be one of the few God Artifact Masters in the entire Celestial World. It was very easy for him to forge any token. Furthermore, he was a disciple of the Celestial Music Sect, so the token he took out was genuine.
Marshal Ma glanced at the identity token, then looked up at the three celestial mirrors on the Southern Heavenly Gate. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the celestial mirrors, he nodded and said with a smile, "Immortal King Shi, don't blame me for being meddlesome. This is a request from the higher-ups. Ever since the demon monkey proved his Dao, all the checkpoints have been tightened. If I make a mistake, I will be sent to prison. It will be a very tragic outcome. "
Shi Kuang smiled. "Marshal Ma, you are too polite. I have been a junior minister of the Inspectorate for many years, so I naturally understand the rules. How about it, can I go with my disciple? "
