,
When Long Fei left Chang’an City, he instructed the Chaos Beast to arrange to guard Di Renying and Zhang Jianzhi in the Heavenly Prison.
The Chaos Beast had met the two before and they were not unfamiliar.
He took Lin Yingying directly to Shu State and manifested within the Sanqing Hall in the Qingcheng Mountains.
Under the suppression of the Mount Shu Sect, Qingcheng remained tepid over the years.
However, the sect ultimately grew much stronger compared to before, with tens of thousands of disciples, resembling a first-class sect.
Long Fei had blessed Little Diee earlier and asked her to return for a meeting at the Qingcheng Sect.
Upon his manifestation, the sky above Qingcheng was filled with Eastern Purple Qi.
The Qingcheng Old Sect Leader, the Fire Elemental Daoist, who was in seclusion, immediately came out and brought a group of disciples to pay respect to Long Fei.
Little Diee had returned for a long time, and when she saw the commotion in the hall, she excitedly ran over.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying left the hall, and outside was already full of disciples, staring at Long Fei’s family, discussing fervently.
A young disciple muttered, "Why does this person seem so familiar?"
"Yes, isn’t this the likeness of the statue just newly consecrated in the side hall?"
"It really is!"
"Could it be that the new Celestial Emperor has manifested?"
"..."
When the Fire Elemental Daoist arrived with long group of elders, upon seeing Long Fei, he was excited and quickly clasped his hands in a salute, saying, "The Celestial Emperor descends, we offer our respects!"
The group of disciples exchanged glances, and seeing that the old sect leader was bowing down, none of them dared not to follow.
Little Diee excitedly ran up, her eyes red with tears as she said to Long Fei, "Master, you have finally returned."
Long Fei nodded and asked her, "Have the Little Kirin and others returned?"
Little Diee shook her head and said, "No, they went to South Yangtze together and have yet to return."
The Fire Elemental Daoist said excitedly, "Celestial Emperor, we just received your vow, and we said we would figure out a way to help you. Your arrival has settled our hearts."
Long Fei said, "The Heavenly Court is newly established and indeed lacks manpower. If there are people in the Qingcheng Sect who want to go, they can prepare now. As long as they pass the Void Insight Realm, they can go."
"Void Insight Realm?"
The Fire Elemental Daoist did not expect Long Fei’s standards to be so high.
These years, the Qingcheng Sect has only had a little over a hundred disciples who have passed the Void Insight Realm.
If they were all taken away, the Qingcheng Sect would suffer greatly.
However, he understands the significance of the Heavenly Court’s establishment, and if they can establish a foothold in the Heavenly Court, what does this small Tianshu Star matter?
He clasped his fists and agreed, then asked Long Fei, "Is the Celestial Emperor here for the matter of the princess?"
Long Fei nodded.
The Fire Elemental Daoist said with shame, "It was my insufficient protection that allowed the Mount Shu thieves to capture the princess. Mount Shu is strong, and now all the first-generation disciples have emerged. These old fellows are all at the Celestial Venerate Realm. I alone am hard-pressed to fight to death, and I have been defeated several times in battles with them recently."
Long Fei comforted him, saying, "It’s not your fault; it’s just Taihua’s tribulation. Now that the tribulation has arrived, it is time for her to come out."
The Fire Elemental Daoist nodded and said, "I will immediately take the Celestial Emperor to ask for her. If they do not give her, I will risk the entire strength of Qingcheng."
"Let’s go!"
Long Fei chuckled, leading the way ahead.
Little Diee followed Lin Yingying and headed towards Mount Shu together.
Long Fei had not been to this world’s Mount Shu before.
He followed the Fire Elemental Daoist to the place, and looking down, there was a lush mountain range, more spectacular than the Great Xia Country’s Mount Shu.
The main peak of Mount Shu seemed like a longsword thrust onto the mountain range, steep and straight, inaccessible to ordinary people.
There was a transparent barrier defense around the main peak.
From time to time, purple and green rays of light flashed between the mountains, representing the sword aura evoked by the Purple-Green Twin Swords of Mount Shu.
The Mount Shu formation is inherited in one line, no different from Mount Shu of the Great Xia Country.
The formation is the Yin-Yang Dust Grand Formation, but its momentum is much more powerful with magical treasures suppressing it.
Looking at this formation, it can resist True Immortals.
Their group directly manifested on the main peak.
In the void, the Purple Qi flickered.
Long Fei looked up, himself surprised that every time he manifested, it caused such a stir.
This aura is the aura of saints, and it is the manifestation of the power of faith of all creatures.
He vowed for life to establish the Heavenly Court to protect the Human Realm, embedding a mark into the Heavenly Dao Laws.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao senses it, and each time he appears, Purple Qi appears.
Bells resonated across Mount Shu’s main peak.
Disciples from various peaks immediately returned with their swords, around the main peak flashing sword aura rainbow lights, like a flying rainbow falling towards the main peak.
A female disciple stared at Long Fei in shock and shouted, "Is that you?"
She was Li Yingqiong of Mount Shu, who had met Long Fei when competing in swordsmanship under the Qingcheng Mountains.
After not seeing her for years, she had reached the Mahayana Realm cultivation level.
The heroic spirit on her body has not diminished, and the killing aura is still strong, manifesting a drop of blood mark in the center of her brow.
With Long Fei around, the Earth Energy of the Fire Elemental Daoist was very strong.
He shouted at Li Yingqiong, "Little girl, quickly let your elders come out to welcome the new Celestial Emperor. If you neglect the Celestial Emperor, Mount Shu will suffer greatly."
"Celestial Emperor?"
Li Yingqiong looked Long Fei up and down and asked, "Him?"
The woman beside her could not help but laugh out loud, "Old Daoist Huo, are you entertaining us here? If he is the Celestial Emperor, then do I not become a fairy?"
All the disciples laughed loudly, glancing at Long Fei with disdain.
These years, Mount Shu has gradually become the leading power in the cultivation world of this world, disregarding even the Twelve Cave Heavens.
Suddenly someone claimed to be the Celestial Emperor.
These disciples naturally didn’t take it seriously.
"Yingnan, do not be rude."
Someone lightly reprimanded, and all the disciples stepped aside.
A group of old men walked up from behind, led by the Mount Shu sect leader, Qi Shuming.
Following him was a young man.
This young man was familiar with Long Fei and was Qi Jinchan, who had once joined Long Fei in Jiangyang City to resist the Demon Army.
Over the years, his aura has become much more restrained, more stable than before.
Just now, the girl named Yingnan reported to Qi Shuming, "Sect Leader, this guy dares to call himself the Celestial Emperor, are there really such thick-skinned frauds now?"
Qi Shuming tightened his brows and said, "He’s right, he is indeed the newly appointed Celestial Emperor."
"What?"
This sentence exploded like a bomb on the spot.
For a moment, all the disciples were dumbfounded.
Long Fei vowed to be the Celestial Emperor, and all the Celestial Venerates in the Nine Domains sensed it.
Qi Shuming also knew about it and was equally surprised when seeing Long Fei, not expecting Long Fei to reach this step.
He clasped his hands toward Long Fei and said, "I wonder what the Celestial Emperor wishes in coming to our Mount Shu?"
Little Diee anxiously said from behind, "Stop playing dumb; you captured our princess, and my master is here to demand her return."
The Fire Elemental Daoist agreed, "Let’s speak frankly, the Celestial Emperor is here to invite Princess Taihua down the mountain. Your Mount Shu should stop meddling in worldly affairs, or you’ll only bring calamity upon yourselves."
"And you, a defeated general, dare to speak of bravery?"
A group of Mount Shu disciples looked at the Fire Elemental Daoist with disdain, shocked that this old Daoist who had been defeated several times by their sect dared to speak to them.
