At Wanyun Ferry, on the Celestial Realm Ship, when everyone saw the ship stop, the suspension ladder was not lowered for a long time. The numerous guests on the Celestial Realm Ship appeared on the deck, murmuring and discussing.
"What’s going on? Could it be that the immortals of the Celestial Realm have learned of our arrival and want to give us a show of strength?"
At this time on the Gengchen Hao, several Zhang Clan Immortals were puzzled to themselves.
Over a hundred people on the deck gazed into the distance at the rigorously guarded Wanyun Ferry.
"Do not speculate recklessly; after entering the Celestial Realm, we must be especially cautious with our words and actions, lest someone catch us slipping up!"
In the distance, Phoenix Spirit watched the scene and reprimanded in a deep voice.
Ever since she achieved enlightenment, her Dao practice had grown steadily, surpassing all the immortals. Her reprimand made the crowd of immortals fall silent in fear.
At this moment, Zhang Jian stepped out from the cabin, dressed in a plain silver robe adorned with purple-golden patterns, standing elegant like a noble son from a wealthy family, his long hair bound with a sword pin.
Though he had an elegant demeanor, as soon as he emerged from the cabin, the immortals ceased their discussions. It was as if he was naturally the center of attention in the universe.
Zhang Jian smiled slightly at Zhang Yi and Qi Ruolan, who were gazing at him.
"Father, Mother, what happens here has nothing to do with us."
"However, soon guests will board the ship. My ladies, this matter requires your noble assistance to make preparations!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuhua and Bai Liying nodded slightly and immediately led Madam Yun, Madam Meng, and several female immortals to make arrangements.
Zhang Yi and Qi Ruolan watched this scene with a bit of surprise.
Sure enough, shortly after, a voice came from outside the Gengchen Hao.
"Shangyun War God under the command of Black Death Grand Marshal from the Arctic Palace is here to pay respects to the Upper God!"
"The generals from the Celestial River Water Mansion?"
Upon hearing his self-introduction, the expressions of the immortals on the ship turned solemn.
The Celestial River Navy, well-known in the Central Celestial Realm, is a fierce fighting force.
The Celestial River Eight Armies of a million soldiers belong to the Four Saints of Arctic.
Each of the Four Saints of Arctic is a Great God of the ninth rank.
The Arctic Palace, the Five Ding Department, the Seven Political and Eight Spirit, the General of the Moon, and the Twelve Straight Signs all belong to the Ziwei Emperor’s Mansion.
At this time, at the opening to the suspension ladder, a maiden was leading the group of immortals, awaiting. Looking at the Silver Armor War God stepping across the Sea of Realms, she spoke.
"My Emperor had anticipated esteemed guests would come today, thus sent this humble lady to wait here for some time. Esteemed guests, please follow me aboard for a meeting!"
The maiden was Zhang Yujing.
Also of the third generation of the Zhang Clan, she was still a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, but her Dao practice was extremely pure.
The gaze of Shangyun War God fell upon this beautiful maiden, showing a slight surprise in his eyes.
In the Central Celestial Realm, cultivators of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch level were truly few, most being descendants of various Great Gods.
"Dare I ask, Immortal, to whom does your Emperor’s divine position belong, and where is the Grotto Heaven?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yujing’s expression showed a trace of amusement.
"War God, having boarded the ship to meet my Emperor, do you still not know what divine being my Emperor is?"
Shangyun War God did not conceal but simply smiled and said, "I came in a rush, without careful investigation; I beg the Immortal’s forgiveness!"
Zhang Yujing smiled and said, "The Emperor is my immortal grandfather, who recently ascended to the Celestial Realm, and has now been appointed by the Great Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Court as Ling Yuan Emperor of the Three Primal Spirit Official Hall!"
"Three Primal Spirit Official Hall, Ling Yuan Emperor?"
Shangyun War God’s expression shifted slightly. Any truly powerful emperor of the Celestial Realm would establish a Spirit Official Hall.
Like the Three Primal Spirit Official Hall, the Ziwei Spirit Official Hall, the Gouchen Spirit Official Hall, and even the Nine Heavens Spirit Official Hall directly under the Great Celestial Venerable.
The majority of Spirit Officials in the Spirit Official Halls are confidants of various emperors, known as ’Great Secrets,’ easily transferred externally to lead a division, or become a deputy palace of a division.
The Ling Yuan Emperor should be a deputy palace position in the Three Primal Spirit Official Hall.
Because the leader of the Three Primal Spirit Official Hall is the Emperor of Fortune, who is under the Celestial Official Emperor.
But in any case, to be appointed as an emperor so soon after ascending to the Celestial Palace and rank eighth in the sequence suggests an extraordinary background.
Shangyun War God pondered silently.
Then, under the guidance of Zhang Yujing, he stepped into the Gengchen Hao.
Just as he set foot on the deck, he saw in the distance an elegant immortal dressed in a plain silver robe. His eyes were gentle, yet when his gaze fell upon Shangyun War God’s eyes, it was as if the vastness of the Great Dao Law poured in. Around him was an undeniable grandeur of a Divine Dao Emperor, with just one glance, Shangyun War God felt an oppression.
"Shangyun War God from the Arctic Army pays respects to Ling Yuan Emperor!"
Upon seeing Zhang Jian, he again clasped his fists in salute.
Zhang Jian smiled and said, "General Shangyun need not be so formal!"
After a slight pause, Zhang Jian laughed and said, "The purpose of your visit, this emperor is already aware of; the general needs only to carry out the celestial destiny!"
Hearing this, Shangyun War God let out a sigh of relief, finding this Ling Yuan Emperor to be approachable.
"However, we cannot delay too long, lest we miss this emperor’s auspicious time!"
Hearing this last part, Shangyun War God felt his heart sink, as there was a hint of distress in his eyes.
That witch is cunning and has now used magic to conceal herself deep within the ferry. Even with the investigation secret technique of these high-tier immortals, it’s impossible to locate her in such a short time.
Seeing Shangyun War God not speaking, Zhang Jian’s gaze fixed upon the War God in the Arctic Army.
"Is it very difficult?"
He slightly released a part of the Earth Emperor’s Authority power.
The magnificent divine power seemed to penetrate through Shangyun War God’s eyes, straight into his heart, making this War God’s face show a hint of awe.
