Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 694 The Outer Heavens, the Celestial Court! (Two Chapters Combined)

Emperor Yuan spoke lightly, yet vividly.

Song Changming quickly gained a general impression of this Celestial Court and realized that this Celestial Court was probably one of the top powers in the primordial world!
After all, ruling over the immortal race—those words sound incredibly impressive.

In particular, the "backbone" mentioned by that big bird was actually just the mount of a celestial official in the Celestial Court, which further illustrates that the Celestial Court's existence is extraordinary.

“If you are interested in the Celestial Court, I can take you there for a visit,” Emperor Yuan suddenly suggested.

"Can I go?" Song Changming was somewhat surprised.

“Now that you are considered an immortal, it wouldn’t be against the rules for me to lead the way,” Emperor Yuan nodded, his tone casual, granting his request.

"Well, thank you very much." Song Changming didn't refuse.

After all, if we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll have another chance to go to that celestial court?

"Hehe, come with me." As soon as Emperor Yuan finished speaking, he waved his wide sleeves, and the two of them turned into white light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

On the sea, Tang Kecha and the other two exchanged glances, none of them expecting things to unfold this way.

“That person must be a celestial official,” Fran said. It wasn’t hard to tell.

After all, the other party looked like they came from the heavens, more like an immortal than their master.

"The master and that person seem to have known each other for a long time."

"What do we do now?" Biyugen looked at the two of them.

Tang Kecha was at a loss for what to do.

Song Changming disappeared along with the immortal that day, leaving the three of them somewhat at a loss on this sea.

They didn't know when Song Changming would return, or even if he would ever return at all.

After waiting for a while, sea creatures began to appear on the sea, and Tang Kecha could only say helplessly.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go somewhere safe first. At least that way we'll still have a chance to live until our master returns."

Fran and Biyougen wholeheartedly agreed.

The three of them would never forget the perilous dangers and crises that lurked everywhere on the original continent.

Now that they've lost Song Changming's powerful backing, they're practically helpless, with every step they take risking being devoured by monsters.

Fortunately, the three of them had stayed in the spiritually rich Peach Blossom Island for a year, and had also received some immortal spiritual energy from Song Changming, so their self-defense capabilities were much stronger than when they were in Biyou Valley.

As long as you're not too unlucky and you're careful, you shouldn't die too quickly.
On the other side, high in the sky, Song Changming could no longer see the sea below.

All I knew was that I passed through layer after layer of clouds and arrived at the very highest point in the sky.

The gravity of heaven and earth vanished without a trace, or perhaps it was erased by the Abyss Emperor standing to the side.

Normally, flying this high, they should have already transcended this planet called the Primordial Continent, and might even have reached the boundless darkness of the universe.

But the truth is they are still flying high above the clouds, without seeing darkness or stars.

The two flew faster and higher, until at a certain moment, Song Changming suddenly realized that he seemed to have crossed a boundary gate.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

Darkness has appeared in the universe.

Along with it appeared a sky full of stars in the darkness.

But what is most striking is a huge mountain in front of Song Changming, suspended in the darkness, radiating a soft, ethereal light among the stars!
"A mountain in the universe?" Song Changming was astonished.

Meanwhile, Emperor Yuan seemed quite accustomed to this, leading Song Changming as if he were returning home, closer and closer to the immortal mountain floating in the darkness.

The closer you get, the more enormous this sacred mountain appears.

Its height is immeasurable, and its width is also immeasurable.

Layer upon layer of celestial clouds swirl around it, with rainbow bridges leading to it and celestial trees covering it.

Jade palaces and towers, cloud-covered steps and moonlit grounds.
Every glance revealed a scene Song Changming had never seen before, leaving him completely stunned.

"Is this the Celestial Court?" Song Changming blurted out.

"That's not wrong," Emperor Yuan said with a smile.

"This place is the outer heaven, also known as the Dome Realm. Apart from this immortal mountain, the star fragments you see are also part of the Celestial Court."

"Fragments of stars?" Song Changming stared intently and then realized that the numerous starlights surrounding the immortal mountain in the darkness of the universe were red, green, blue, and yellow, and were not real planets, or at least not that big.

Song Changming had assumed that Emperor Yuan would take him to that immortal mountain that floated in the darkness.

But as Emperor Yuan approached the immortal mountain, he suddenly turned around and headed in another direction.

"Where are you going?"

"Where I live."

Seemingly noticing Song Changming's confusion, Emperor Yuan continued.

“A wandering immortal like you from the lower realm cannot enter this Celestial Court without the decree of the Celestial King. Even with me here, I cannot make an exception. So you can only make do with my residence for now.”

Song Changming nodded.

Even without entering that sacred mountain, he has already broadened his horizons considerably.

Going to Emperor Yuan's residence would allow me to learn more about the ins and outs of the Celestial Court from him.

"Let's go." Emperor Yuan suddenly waved his hand and rode away on a rainbow with Song Changming.

The immortal mountain receded further and further away from Song Changming, when suddenly a magnificent sound exploded in front of him.

"Lord Yuan, I've come to have a chat."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan stopped and turned to look at a fragment of a star in the distance.

Emperor Yuan let out a soft exclamation, and then said to Song Changming, "Young friend, this rainbow light will take you to your destination. You can wait for me there for a moment, or you can look around."

"Go ahead and get busy." Song Changming nodded in agreement. The rainbow light beneath his feet was like a bridge, carrying him straight to the other side of the starry sky.

Emperor Yuan transformed into a streak of light, like a comet flashing by in the dark universe.

The rainbow light moved at an extremely fast speed, surpassing any escape technique or magical artifact Song Changming had ever seen. In just a few minutes, it delivered Song Changming to his destination.

Above a star that emits a verdant blue light!
Song Changming arrived safely, and the rainbow light that had been erected dissipated on its own.

"Hmm?" Song Changming noticed at a glance that there were hundreds of figures standing neatly on the ground below, watching his arrival.

One of the white-haired youths stood at the front, his hands hanging down, wearing a loose-fitting white robe with wide sleeves similar to that of Emperor Nayuan, revealing part of his chest and abdomen.

Upon seeing Song Changming land, he took the initiative to say, "The Celestial Venerable has already given instructions that this way is for the guest."

The young man had white hair tied back, a handsome face, and delicate features. His voice was calm and gentle, and he politely gestured for him to enter.

"Thank you for your trouble." Song Changming nodded, his gaze quickly sweeping over the white-haired youth in front of him and the hundreds of figures behind him. The figures varied in height, some were over ten meters tall, and some were less than half a meter tall. They were not all human; some were clearly mountain and sea spirits. They were all different.

There is only one thing they agree on.

That is, they all possess an ethereal aura, proving that they are all immortals.

As Emperor Yuan had said before, only immortals can come to this Celestial Court; mortals can never reach it.

"Well, the Celestial Venerable didn't come. We've just wasted our time welcoming him." A child in the crowd straightened his sleeves and muttered with a pout.

"Enough with the idle talk, don't be impolite in front of our distinguished guests," someone nearby admonished the boy.

"Distinguished guest? What distinguished guest is this kid who has just entered the fairyland?" The boy was quite mischievous, chuckling and waving his hand.

His words became more frequent, causing Song Changming, who hadn't paid much attention before, to glance at him.

Only then did they realize that the boy in the Taoist robe was not a child at all, but a gray-haired monkey who was 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall.

His hat was upside down, his clothes were loose and askew, and his hairy face and thunder god-like mouth gave him a strangely classic look.

"Xiao Jiu." The white-haired boy walking in front frowned, exuding an air of authority that was not typical of a young man.

His eyes also swept over the monkey, his tone reproachful.

The monkey then reluctantly bowed to Song Changming.

"I have spoken without thinking, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"It's alright." Song Changming wasn't so magnanimous as to be easily angered by the other party's few words.

In fact, compared to the monkey's casual and offensive remarks, he was more concerned about the intensity of the immortal aura emanating from the other party.

The seemingly ordinary monkey possessed an immense and unparalleled aura of immortality, which, without exaggeration, was dozens or even hundreds of times greater than his own!

And it wasn't just this monkey; the hundreds of figures standing there exuded an aura of immortality far surpassing his!
Therefore, it's no wonder that the monkey looked down on him at first glance.

His aura, having just entered the Immortal Realm, was far inferior to that of all of them, making it rather difficult for them to bow and be polite to him.

It was only because Emperor Yuan personally brought him here that he was able to arrive; otherwise, with his level of immortal cultivation, he would never have been able to come here.

"The Celestial Venerable has other important matters to attend to, so please disperse," the white-haired youth continued.

"Yes, Senior Brother Cangzhe."

The hundreds of figures agreed in unison and then departed.

"This way, please." The white-haired youth then continued to lead the way for Song Changming.

Song Changming followed, a thought forming in his mind.

These people all addressed the white-haired youth before them as their senior brother, so it's not hard to conclude that they were all disciples of Emperor Yuan.

A group of immortal disciples?
Song Changming gained a new understanding of Emperor Yuan.

In these ten thousand years, Emperor Yuan had already reached an extremely high level in the primordial world, and his achievements on the path of immortality were far ahead of his!
Even within this Celestial Court, his status as Emperor Yuan is probably not low at all.

"May I ask your name?" the white-haired boy suddenly asked.

"Song Changming."

"My name is Cang Zhe, the eldest disciple selected from the Hall of Immortal Worship under the Heavenly Venerable." The white-haired youth did not inquire further about Song Changming's background, and after asking for his name, he began to talk about himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask what this Hall of Worshiping Immortals is?" Song Changming asked politely.

"The Heavenly Venerable teaches without discrimination. He once thought of the sentient beings who had no way to seek immortality, so he set up a thousand temples in the mortal world. The Heavenly Venerable said that any living being in the mortal world who finds a temple is destined to be with him. If they stay in the temple, they can be enlightened and transformed into human form."

Every hundred years, the Celestial Venerable would select the person in the temple with the greatest affinity for immortality, bestow upon them a celestial fruit, and take them under his wing to cultivate immortality every day.

This is the Hall of Worshiping Immortals, and that's why we've come here.

Cang Zhe explained in great detail, without any perfunctory manner, which made Song Changming understand the origins of this group of immortals.

The two soon arrived at a pavilion built of wood and tiles.

"Brother Song, you can wait here. If you wish to look around some more, that's fine too." After saying this, Cang Zhe bowed to Song Changming and then leisurely left.

Song Chang stood alone in the pavilion, his mind a jumble of thoughts, which he was finally able to sort out a little.

In the blink of an eye, he was taken away from the original continent by Emperor Yuan and brought to this so-called Celestial Court in the Outer Heavens.

Standing on this fragment of starlight, with solid ground beneath your feet, there is still normal air, gravity, and mass, as well as a vast concentration of spiritual energy.

The only difference from standing on the original continent is that when you look up at the sky here, you can only see the immortal mountain in the boundless darkness, and thousands of similar star fragments shimmering with light.

He didn't know where these star fragments came from or how they were formed.

All he knew was that everything in this otherworldly realm was difficult to comprehend using conventional knowledge.

Looking out from the pavilion, every inch of the unpaved rock surface gleams with a faint greenish light.

This is why, from a distance, these fragments of stars emit an eerie light, making them very conspicuous in the darkness.

Song Changming keenly realized that these strange lights were the foundation for maintaining the stable operation of this star fragment.

The light source comes from the core of the star fragment, and the scattered spiritual energy seems to be firmly held by this strange light, making it difficult for it to escape outside the star fragment.

"It's truly amazing," Song Changming couldn't help but marvel to himself.

He wasn't even sure if these star fragments were part of the universe, or even if the outer heaven he was in was part of the universe he imagined.

In any case, if you look up at the sky from the primordial continent, you won't see that immortal mountain or these fragments of stars emitting strange light.

Song Changming's gaze shifted and landed outside the pavilion.

Several colorful butterflies fluttered their wings, pausing intermittently among the flowers and grass.

As if sensing Song Changming's gaze, several butterflies suddenly turned towards him, seemingly meeting his gaze.

"Is there anything you wish to instruct me, sir?" After a moment of silence, one of the butterflies could not contain itself and spoke in human language, asking Song Changming a question.

"."

The butterfly's voice was so innocent and childlike that it caught Song Changming off guard. He murmured, "These butterflies that are everywhere have become spirits?"

"Look at what you're saying. If we weren't sentient, we wouldn't have been allowed to be summoned to heaven and ordered to pollinate and nourish flowers," another butterfly said gently.

"So they're hired gardeners?" Song Changming roughly understood the role of these butterflies.

Upon closer inspection, one can also discover that these butterflies possess a subtle, ethereal quality.

These can barely be considered as a few immortal insects, but they are far inferior to the group of immortals we saw before.

"I'll just take a look," Song Changming said, not wanting to disturb the butterflies as they worked.

Upon hearing this, the butterfly slowly flew away.
