The peapod pointed to the queue in front of them and kindly reminded, "Quickly change back to your human form, it'll be easier for the great immortals to register."
"Ah?" Zhu Yao was startled. "No … No need." She did not want to turn back into a jade pendant.
Seeing that she was unwilling, the peapod didn't try to persuade her again and lined up behind her seriously.
Goudan explained at the side. There were many spiritual monsters that wanted to enter the Advent Cloud Hall, so in order to facilitate the registration, everyone would change back to their original forms and speed up the registration process. In order to avoid causing chaos, the people lining up here were basically all plants, and there was even an animal farm next to it.
Zhu Yao turned her head and looked through the half-opened door to look next door. As expected, the house was filled with animals. Chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, everything was there. Looks like this Advent Cloud Hall is quite popular. So many people want to enter.
"Then what about human practitioners?" Zhu Yao could not help but ask.
"Human cultivators don't need to register. As long as they are willing, they can join."
So that was how it was.
Zhu Yao and Goudan queued for exactly four hours before it was their turn. The person in charge of the registration was an Earth Immortal, who seemed to be very indifferent.
"Does it have a name?"
"Yes, great deity. My name is Li Goudan." Goudan answered proudly.
The Earth Immortal's hand paused and he woke up from his drowsiness. He raised his head and glanced at Goudan in surprise. This name was too …
Zhu Yao silently turned her head around.
"What's the prototype?"
"Oh, I'm an arrow."
That person looked at him strangely again, and Gou Dan raised his head proudly again.
The corner of the Earth Immortal's mouth twitched as he noted it down on the Immortal Register. He then looked at Zhu Yao behind him.
"Next, what is your name?"
Zhu Yao hesitated for a moment. Since she had to hide her identity, naturally, she could not reveal her Daoist name.
Seeing that she did not speak, Goudan answered for her. "I was with her. She called me Po …"
Zhu Yao pressed him onto the table with a single slap. Break your sister! You're the one who slit your throat.
"Hehe, my surname is Zhu, Zhu … Po!" It was just that she couldn't use the surname of Yu, but it didn't matter if her surname was Zhu.
The Earth Immortal looked at them strangely. "Original form?"
"Uh … jade stone."
Only then did he jot it down on the Immortal Register.
Goudan, on the other hand, looked at her strangely. Though he could sense that Zhu Yao wasn't a deity practitioner in the first place. But he didn't expect it to be a piece of jade. No wonder it hurt so much.
After registering, they were brought to a room. There were only four demons in the room, and they were all plants.
He took a closer look and saw that there was a peapod and a carrot. A stalk of garlic and a cabbage. Once they arrived. After making many turns, they actually arrived at a body of water. In front of them was a boundless silver ocean.
There were a few scattered people on the beach. It's a rabbit and a weasel. The Earth Immortal who led them here threw out a paper boat. The speed of the paper boat increased, and in a short while, it had turned into a large boat that could hold more than ten people.
"Get on the boat," the Earth Immortal said to the animals and plants present. "The Advent Cloud Hall is after this region of water. So long as you arrive there, you'll have passed the first test of the entrance test."
Get on board together? Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. Including those two animals? Wouldn't something go wrong like this? The vegetables panicked and looked at each other in dismay.
Hey! Rabbit, could you please restrain yourself and stop drooling over the carrots?
"Great Immortal, are we really going to … be on the same boat as them? Are there any other … "
The Earth Immortal who led the way coldly looked at the vegetables. "What nonsense are you spouting? If you don't wish to board, you can choose not to. "
The vegetables instantly turned silent, and obediently boarded the boat. Though, the rabbit's red eyes turned even redder. The only one who was calm was the weasel at the side. He merely glanced at the rabbit when he boarded the boat, and then immediately retracted his gaze. His sharp mouth was raised high.
The moment they boarded the boat, everyone consciously returned to their human forms. Only then did Zhu Yao clearly see the genders of these animals and plants. The peapod, garlic and weasel were three young men, while the carrot and cabbage were two young ladies. Unexpectedly, the rabbit was actually a fatty. His stomach was so big that it looked like a swimming ring. His eyes were still staring at the carrot lady, and he did not even blink.
The atmosphere was especially tense.
"Let's get to know each other." The peapod youth was the first to stand out, and said with a friendly look. "I wonder how I should address everyone?"
With someone breaking the silence, the others heaved sighs of relief as well. The rabbit gulped. "I'm Whitey."
"Yellowyellow." The weasel followed up.
The carrot said. "I'm Popo."
Zhu Yao's expression darkened when she heard this. Whitey, Yellowyellow, Popo. Aren't these names a little too casually? I'm even called Caicai.
"I'm Caicai." The little cabbage lady stood out.
"…"
Zhu Yao instantly felt stifled. Do your parents know that you guys gave your names so casually?
At that moment, she felt that not only were these spiritual monsters' cultivation levels low, their intelligence didn't seem to be high either. She silently glanced at Goudan at the side. Alright, his name didn't seem to be very high-end either.
Not even a moment later, the animals and plants announced their names, and finally, it was her and Goudan's turn.
Goudan proudly patted his chest, and loudly said. "I'm Li Goudan."
When his voice fell, Zhu Yao instantly felt the gazes of all the spiritual monsters in the boat gathered onto Goudan. This fool, no matter how bad his name is, there's no need to give up on himself. Look, as expected, he's being looked down upon.
"What a great name!"
Eh?
In an instant, all the vegetables and animals squeezed over, and looked at Goudan with worshipful expressions.
"Your name actually has three words!"
"That's right, it's the same as those great deities. Brother Li, how did you think of this name?"
"You even have a surname, so your cultivation level must be very high as well, right?"
Zhu Yao: "…" This doesn't seem right, right?
"Hehe, it's alright, it's alright!" Goudan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "My name was given to me by boss." He pointed at Zhu Yao who had long been squeezed out of the crowd.
In an instant, their gazes once again turned towards Zhu Yao.
Zhu Yao brought out the name she just came up with. "Uh … I'm Zhu Po."
In an instant, those sparkling eyes that were filled with anticipation instantly extinguished.
"What? It's also two words!"
"And here I thought her name would be even better."
"That's right, it should have four words, right?"
Is the quality of a name determined by the number of words it has? Where did you guys learn your sense of beauty from?
"Ah. I really hope I have a name as beautiful as Li Goudan! "The rabbit demon said with an intoxicated expression.
The crowd of vegetables chimed in, and continued to look at student Goudan with worshipful eyes.
Zhu Yao: "…"
What was so wonderful about this name?
Heaving a sigh, she decided to ignore these spiritual monsters who had an abnormal sense of aesthetics. Zhu Yao turned her head and asked the Earth Deity who was leading the way at the shore. "Great Deity, may I know when we can set sail?"
The Earth Immortal who was leading the way looked back at her. Perhaps he saw that she was a Xuan Immortal. He didn't look down on her like he did the other spiritual monsters. "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be anxious. Your group is still lacking one person. Once everyone is here, we can set sail. "
Lack of manpower? She wanted to clarify. Suddenly, he heard banging sounds coming from not far away. Even the ground was shaking.
"He's here," said the Earth Immortal.
Not far away, a cylindrical figure was bouncing over. Every time it bounced, it would raise a lot of dust. It was actually a pure white mushroom.
"Gugu!" Zhu Yao could not help but shout out.
That mushroom was startled. He raised his mushroom umbrella and looked towards the boat. Looking at her from head to toe, he tilted his mushroom umbrella and called out, "Guo 'er?"
Uh …
What's with this feeling of reunion after 16 years?
As though he had already confirmed it. The mushroom exerted strength, and with a plop, he jumped onto the boat. Boom …
He smashed a hole through the boat.
Everyone: …
"Guo 'er? Guo 'er, is that you? I've been looking for you for so long! "The mushroom moved, and then pounced towards her. He looked as though he was so excited that he could only use a hug to express it.
Zhu Yao reacted quickly, and immediately took a step back. A hole had already been smashed through the boat. If she was to be squashed by it, wouldn't she be turned into a meat patty? "Mushroom, why are you here?"
"To look for you!" The mushroom looked at her with teary eyes. "You've taken human form?" He curiously sized Zhu Yao up, and then satisfyingly raised his mushroom head. "Not bad, as expected of a jade spirit that I mixed with. You've only taken human form a little later than me."
"You're able to take human form as well?" It had only been a few months since they last met. Not bad, huh?
"Of course." The mushroom said with a proud look. "My cultivation has risen by a lot. Oh right, just where did you go? I searched the entire forest, but I didn't see you. "
"This … It's a long story."
"What's going on with the two of you?" Just as Zhu Yao was about to explain, she was interrupted by the Earth Deity at the shore with a darkened expression. "Did you destroy the boat because you don't want to go to Advent Cloud Hall anymore?"
Only then did Zhu Yao realize that this wasn't the time to reminisce. She gave the mushroom a 'we'll talk about it later' expression, and then turned to apologize to the Earth Deity. "Great Deity, please forgive me. I was simply too excited to reunite with this friend of mine."
"Even if you're excited, you can't destroy the boat!" That Earth Deity's face was still filled with rage.
"I'll repair the boat right now." Zhu Yao cast a recovery art, and the large hole that was smashed by the mushroom, quickly returned to its original state. The damaged area had also recovered to the point where not even a single trace of it could be seen.
Only then did that person's expression turn a little better. He moved his mouth, but he did not say anything out of consideration for Zhu Yao's Profound Deity cultivation.
He loudly shouted, "You guys can set sail now."
The boat then automatically slid into the sea, and sailed towards the vast sea.
The mushroom hopped towards him. Its figure was huge, and with every hop, the entire boat would tremble three times. With two or three hops, it had successfully pulled the aggro of all the animals and plants on the boat.
"Jade spirit, let me tell you …" Yet, it was completely oblivious. His entire mushroom body was filled with the excitement of meeting her again.
"… It's best if you return to your human form for now." His cultivation had risen, but he shouldn't give up on his intelligence. Can't you see that the rabbit isn't even looking at the carrot, and is instead drooling at you?
The mushroom was startled for a moment, revealing an extremely unwilling look. After hesitating for a moment, he said. "Alright, I'll let you see my heroic appearance in human form."
"…"
The mushroom closed his eyes, circulating the spiritual energy in his body. His entire body was glowing with a white light, enveloping the entire mushroom within. His gigantic figure began to shrink as well, slowly condensing into a human form. A moment later, the white light slowly faded.
And the face that was revealed …
Zhu Yao simply felt her heart trembling, as she fiercely widened her eyes.
