Chapter 5018 The Gate to Heaven
In terms of strength and foundation, Zhentianmen is far inferior to Taihuang Tianting and the Demon Kingdom, but its history is far longer, far surpassing the former two.
This immortal gate is also exceptionally magnificent, surpassing even the Great Desolate Heavenly Court in some aspects.
Even Su Bai was so shocked by this that he was speechless; how much more so would Shen Yue?
"This ancient immortal sect is truly extraordinary. It's just a pity that today it will be plunged into a sea of swords and blood," Su Bai sighed.
Duanmu Lei remained silent, his spear already stored in his divine realm, his expression indifferent and calm.
The divine ship sailed toward the immortal gate before it.
Outside the Immortal Gate, extraordinary disciples of the Zhentian Sect were checking the identities of those who came to offer birthday wishes and counting the number of people for record-keeping.
As the divine ship sailed toward Zhentian Gate, Su Bai stood at the bow of the ship, wearing a ghost mask, with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his figure as upright as a peerless sword.
Su Bai released the aura of a god.
Upon seeing this, the two disciples of the highest rank immediately approached and bowed in salute towards the direction of the divine ship.
"Pei Jing (Pei Hai) of Zhentian Sect greets seniors. May I ask where you two come from?" the two disciples asked respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai calmly revealed the identities that Fu Yunxiu had prepared for them long ago.
"South of Lintian, Qiu Jing."
Duanmu Lei remained silent.
South of the Heavenly Realm lies a rather low-profile and secretive power in all the myriad realms.
Indeed, it is one of the forces under the Taihuang Heavenly Court. It is extremely hidden and rarely appears in the world. There are legends about the South of Lintian in the myriad realms, but very few.
In preparation for this battle, all personnel from the southern part of Lintian have been evacuated back to the Taihuang Heavenly Court headquarters.
After this, the name "South of the Sky" will disappear completely.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jing quickly said, "So you are a senior from the South of Lintian, please!"
They are responsible for verifying the identity of visitors, but in reality, for those with cultivation levels above the Divine Realm, they only need to ask a couple of questions according to procedure. The only ones whose identities need to be truly verified are those below the Divine Realm.
After all, reaching the God Realm means becoming a great figure in the myriad realms, a star-like being who travels the world.
He was warmly welcomed when people came to celebrate the birthday of the leader of Zhentianmen.
Pei Jing stepped aside and led Su Bai and his group into the Immortal Realm behind the Zhen Tian Gate.
A powerful expert at the Divine Realm is personally led by a Divine Rank disciple; this is the rule of the Zhen Tian Sect.
Beyond the Zhen Tian Immortal Gate lies another world.
Separated by just one door, the energy of heaven and earth, and the rules of the Dao, are more than a hundred times different.
Only by crossing this celestial gate can one see the true essence of the Zhen Tian Gate.
This place offers excellent conditions for cultivation, with all the laws of heaven and earth complete, and even in abundance.
This is the true essence of an ancient immortal sect.
No wonder, Zhentianmen is stronger than most forces in the myriad realms, with nineteen deities, nine of whom are from the first tier.
The divine ship did not enter the immortal gate, but stopped outside it. Su Bai and the other two followed Pei Jing as he flew through the air, shuttling between the immortal palaces.
Pei Jing led the way while chatting and laughing with Su Bai.
"Your place in the south of Lintian is rarely seen in the world. It is truly an honor for our Zhentian Sect to have you come to congratulate us on our Sect Master's birthday!" Pei Jing said with a sincere smile.
Su Bai chuckled, "South of Lintian, it's just a small, insignificant place, nothing compared to Zhentianmen. Young friend, you're too modest!"
Pei Jing said, "Today's grand occasion is graced by the presence of countless seniors from all sides. It is only through the occasion of the sect leader's birthday celebration that Zhentian Sect has the opportunity to get to know these senior fellow Daoists."
"Senior, please take a look."
Pei Jing pointed into the distance.
Many powerful figures from all corners of the world traveled through this starry sky and among countless immortal palaces under the guidance of the disciples of Zhentianmen.
Among them, there are quite a few experts at the Divine Realm.
"This magnificent scene is unprecedented in all ages; it is the first time I have ever witnessed it since I began my cultivation!"
Pei Jing had a look of pride on his face, but he introduced himself in a calm and composed manner.
Su Bai's gaze swept over the magnificent immortal palace complex and the powerful figures from all directions, and a slightly approving voice came from beneath the gilded ghost mask.
"Such a magnificent sight is truly rare. Even in the secluded south of Lintian, it is rare to see such a scene."
As they talked, they arrived at a vast celestial realm, where four magnificent floating islands stood at the four corners of the sky.
Despite being called a floating island, it is even larger than some ancient celestial bodies and comparable to some small ruins.
Su Bai looked towards the four floating islands.
These four islands are outlined by the four mythical beasts of the four cardinal directions: the north is shaped like the Black Tortoise, the east like the Azure Dragon, the south like the Vermilion Bird, and the west like the White Tiger.
The four floating islands not only resemble the four divine beasts in appearance, but also possess an ethereal charm. Each island is inscribed with a powerful restrictive array, and the area outside the four islands is also densely covered with array patterns.
Clearly, the sect leader of Zhentian Sect knew that today's birthday was extremely dangerous and had made preparations in advance.
These array patterns are hidden in the void, yet they are extremely extraordinary. Su Bai can see through them clearly. If these array patterns and restrictions are fully activated, they could probably even withstand some attacks from immortal realm beings.
Those who come to participate in the birthday celebration will be arranged to sit on the four floating islands in the east, west, and south, while the north, the Black Tortoise, is the location of the main family of the Zhentian Gate.
Xuanwu is a tortoise and snake, symbolizing longevity. It also sits in the main position in the north, making it a place where the sect leader of Zhentianmen and many other cultivators and powerful figures of Zhentianmen gather.
The other three islands were allocated to the guests who came to celebrate the birthday.
Su Bai looked up and saw that the Zhen Tian Gate was treating the Demon Kingdom with the highest level of hospitality. The entire Eastern Azure Dragon Throne was given to the Demon Kingdom's experts, and the other two islands were further distributed to other guests.
On the Azure Dragon Throne, many demonic cultivators could be seen moving about, but Su Bai did not use his divine sense to investigate further, and thus did not spot the figure of the White-Hate Demon Lord.
Each floating island has neatly arranged, extremely luxurious seating.
These seats also come in different specifications to accommodate guests of different levels.
Those at the Divine Realm and the Transcendent Realm certainly wouldn't sit in seats of equal rank.
Behind Su Bai, Duanmu Lei remained silent, while Shen Yue looked around curiously.
Wearing a gilded ghost mask, Su Bai took out the prepared birthday gifts from the Divine Realm.
"A pair of crescent moons, containing an immortal killing array, this is my gift from the South of Heaven." Su Bai handed it to Pei Jing.
Upon hearing the word "immortal," Pei Jing's heart trembled, and he solemnly accepted the jade box with utmost care.
Birthday gifts are given to the disciples of Zhentianmen, then registered and sent to Xuanwu Seat to be displayed, showcasing the "wealth" of all parties.
After handing the jade box to another Zhentianmen disciple who was in charge of collecting the congratulatory gifts, Pei Jing took a seating invitation and bowed to hand it to Su Bai.
"Senior Qiu, there are two other seniors who have taken their seats in the Southern Vermilion Bird Seat for the first time, and are ranked in the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth seats."
