Chapter 55: A Unique Lineage

Ouyang Mi left with great enthusiasm and returned with great enthusiasm. After returning to Tianjiang Water Emperor Palace, he carefully came to the outside of his father's study and asked in a pinched tone, "Dad, are you there?"

"No."

Ouyang Mi was immediately happy when he heard this, and quickly pushed open the door, and saw his father sitting behind the desk, holding a jade scepter in his hand and reviewing it with a frown.

"Dad, you must be tired after a busy day!"

Ouyang Mi ran behind her father with a smile on her face, and massaged his shoulders and back skillfully, looking very well-behaved.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Tianjiangshuidi threw the jade sceptre on the table and angrily shouted, "I asked you to entertain Gu Bogong well, and this is how you treat him?"

Ouyang Mi immediately stood aside and said with a wronged look on his face: "Grandpa Gu is having a lot of fun too!"

Tianjiang Water Emperor said with a look of disappointment: "I was just trying to give you face and make you happy, but you... you are really pissing me off to death!"

Ouyang Mi pouted: "Dad, I admit that Gu Bogong is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is only a ninth-rank immortal official. Even if he has a promising future, there is no need to flatter him like this, right?"

Tianjiang Shuidi looked at his daughter's serious expression, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

"I have protected you too well after all. You are right. Gu Bogong is only a ninth-rank immortal official. Even if he has a promising future, it is probably difficult for him to reach the sixth rank."

"why?"

Now it was Ouyang Mi's turn to be surprised.

"Let me ask you, how long has it been since the Jiujiang Water Emperor was replaced?"

"It seems... that no one has been replaced?"

"Let me tell you, there has been no change in the past seven hundred years. The Jiujiang Water Emperor is like this, and so is the state capital city god. Do you know why I put aside my old face and ask for the job of weather forecasting for you?"

"Dad, what you mean is that there are no more official positions in the Immortal Court, because everyone has their own job?"

Faced with Ouyang Mi's tentative answer, Tianjiang Water Emperor showed a relieved smile.

"Yes, go to the Immortal Court and take a look. How many immortal officials have been waiting for immortal positions after being promoted to the Immortal Court, waiting until death. At present, even the Du Toi and Bi Ma Wen have become popular in the Immortal Court."

"Look around the world, there are so many demons and monsters occupying the mountains and ruling as kings. Do you really think the Immortal Court is blind and can't see it?"

Ouyang Mi seemed to understand: "Dad, I'm a little confused."

"It's okay to be a little confused! You just need to remember that if this Internet fails, it's fine. But if it succeeds, it must become a branch of its own and accommodate tens of millions of immortal officials."

“And now you have taken your place.”

Ouyang Mi looked thoughtful for a long time, then curiously asked, "By the way, Daddy, could it be that Uncle Gu is some immortal who has undergone a military transformation and is undergoing a restoration?"

Tianjiang Water Emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"

Ouyang Mi said: "Today, I saw that his conversation was quite good, not like an ordinary land god."

Tianjiang Water Emperor nodded and said meaningfully: "I have calculated his whereabouts. He is not in the Three Realms. He jumped out of the Five Elements and is suspected to be heading to... the Ninth Heaven! Who knows, it may be a chess piece dropped by some immortal monarch."

……

……

If the underworld is the natural threshold that separates mortals, then the Nine Heavens is the high wall that separates practitioners.

Gu Yunli looked up at the starry sky countless times, but he still didn't know in what form the nine-story fairy palace looked down at the human world.
Now he vaguely understood a little bit.

As he stepped on the auspicious clouds, his figure continued to rise higher and higher, and the mountains and rivers became smaller and smaller until they were submerged in the clouds and disappeared from sight.

After flying upwards for a long time, suddenly thousands of golden lights appeared and projected down.

Looking up, you can see a huge archway that seems to be made of colored glaze, rising above the clouds, with thousands of purple mists lingering around it.

Under the archway, there are immortal soldiers and generals guarding.

"Who is coming?"

"The Immortal Official He Ji, in compliance with the order of the Great Emperor Qingxu, is to lead the Ninth Rank Immortal Official Gu Yunli into the palace for an audience."

The guiding immortal official said in a loud voice, and handed over the identity document.

After the immortal soldiers and generals were verified to be correct, he immediately changed his smile and said, "It is indeed Fellow Daoist He. I have a duty to fulfill. Please forgive me."

The immortal official who welcomed him waved his hands and said "it's okay" repeatedly.

Then he led Gu Yunli into the South Heaven Gate. In an instant, the world changed.

Gu Yunli was shocked as he looked at the countless floating island palaces that suddenly appeared in front of him. Even though he had witnessed the transformation of yin and yang, he was still shocked.

"Don't look around. The nobles in the Immortal Court don't like prying eyes. There are many immortal arrays guarding. If you look too much, be careful that your soul will be sucked away and you will become a walking corpse."

The welcoming immortal official called out to him, which frightened Gu Yunli so much that he quickly regained his composure.

The fairy palace is very large, and it is even more difficult to see the mountain.

There were almost no immortals seen along the way, until one day when a fluctuation of magic power came from overhead, Gu Yunli looked up and vaguely discovered that they seemed to be walking in a "sewer".

Is the Immortal Court already so strictly hierarchical?

Gu Yunli walked for a long time in doubt before finally stopping in a huge palace complex.

It was not until then that he felt the immortal aura.

At a glance, you can see the divine crimson palace, the flying pavilions and the flowing red clouds. Every eave and corner is meticulously carved.

The Sky-roaring Deer, the Xiezhi Eagle, the Suanni Statue... and many more.

In the corridor pavilion, we can finally see signs of immortal activities.

Unfortunately, he couldn't take a closer look and could only follow the guiding messenger and walk forward with his head down.

Finally it stopped in front of a cloud.

"Mr. Gu, I will take you here."

The Immortal Official who was welcoming him stopped and spoke politely.

"Good work."

Gu Yunli bowed and looked forward, then he saw that the sky and earth were shrouded in a layer of clouds. In the flow of clouds, a staircase was faintly visible, leading straight into the depths of the white clouds.

He took a deep breath, stepped onto the steps and walked forward.

The stairs to heaven are long, and walking along them makes one feel terrified, fearing that one might fall off the ladder by accident.

Gu Yunli was still a little nervous.

As he walked carefully, his mind was full of imaginations of various meeting scenarios. However, after a long time of not seeing each other, he was extremely nervous, but suddenly he smiled and his heart calmed down unconsciously.

The rest of life is long, but destiny is clear.

If that’s the case, why should we be so anxious?

Just do it!

After thinking about it, he glanced at the self-destruction program that had long been hidden deep in his soul, and walked away briskly.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the sky stairs quietly came to the end.

An ancient stone pavilion stands at the end.

In the pavilion, a middle-aged man in a white robe sat casually on a stone bench, looking closely at the stone table in the pavilion.

"Gu Yunli, the land master of Tian'an Temple, pays homage to the Great Emperor Qingxu!"

Gu Yunli walked closer, bowed, and as he bowed, he couldn't help but glance at the stone table.

Then you can see the mountains and rivers clearly on the stone table.

"No need to be polite, take a seat!"

Emperor Qingxu finally looked up.

"Thank you, Emperor, for giving me a seat!"

Gu Yunli stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly, walked to the opposite side of Emperor Qingxu, and sat down with his official robe slightly raised.

Emperor Qingxu looked at Gu Yunli, who was calm and composed in front of him, and at the illusory fate on him. His eyes seemed to travel through time and space, looking into the deeper parts of the Ninth Heaven.

"Are you Gu Yunli, the Lord of the Internet?"

"Exactly!"

"Since you can create such a miraculous skill, you shouldn't be unknown when you die. I wonder where you were born? Who are your parents?"
