going to be okay." he whispered.I nodded, took a deep breath, and pushed down the violent surge of emotion within me.Jiang Qiyun's long sword pierced Xiaomo's head, nailing it to the ground. Xiaomo's...The child speaks in riddles, not stating things directly.

I always feel that even in the upper realm, Ling Shan's ten witches are more like legendary figures.

They were so ancient, ancient to the point that even these millennia-old immortals held them in some "trepidation".

It's not that I'm afraid, but rather it subtly reveals a hint of embarrassment.

The character "witch" originally meant communication between heaven and earth, and it was for "humans" to communicate. Therefore, the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain seem very "partial" to ordinary mortals.

Furthermore, combining what was said last time, one can roughly feel that the Ten Witches of Ling Shan disobeyed the celestial realm in certain matters and even did not regard the immortals of the celestial realm in their eyes. They dared to "incite" human deviants to resist the celestial realm.

But the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain were also related to the primordial ancestral gods who created heaven and earth, which made it difficult for the upper realm to handle.

“So, there’s a saying in the Upper Realm that the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain didn't die or vanish. They were so powerful that they couldn't remain in the mortal realm, but they wouldn't submit to the rule of the Upper Realm. So, they cultivated their own pure land in an alien dimension, outside the Three Realms, free and unconstrained. That's why there's no trace of them within the Three Realms,” the little boy explained.

I am very nervous now...

This invisible ladder, every step I take makes my heart pound with fear, my feet are hanging in mid-air!

I gripped the whisk that the child handed me and followed him as we "walked" toward the heavens.

"Hee hee, guests naturally walk up the cloud ladder, don't be afraid, little princess."

“This would terrify someone with a fear of heights.” I looked down, and realized I was about five stories up. My whole body felt dizzy.

The few strands of shimmering light that followed me, soft and fluttering at my side, provided a sense of security.

But when will this invisible “ladder” be reached

If I go any higher, I think my legs will give out.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we don't have to go all the way up to the mountain gate." The little boy reassured me.

I looked up at the clouds in the sky. If I really had to climb to the heavens, I'd probably faint halfway up from fright and lack of oxygen.

“Oh, when you have attained enlightenment, you will be able to see this cloud ladder,” the young boy said, shaking his head. “Before, when the little lady had paid her respects at the mountain gate, she had walked all the way up the mountain. However, her cultivation was not yet complete, not enough to become an immortal, so she couldn't see the full form of the supreme deity, Tai Yi. She could only see a myriad of light and thousands of auspicious rays, feeling the divine presence above her head, but she couldn't see the interior of the mountain gate... These are all opportunities. Ordinary mortals don't have it so easy to attain enlightenment.”

"Then if we're not going to the mountain gate, where are we going now" I held onto his duster, afraid to let go for a moment, fearing that one wrong step would send me tumbling from mid-air.

"Hee hee hee... Let's go to a sea that connects all realms!" The little boy stopped in his tracks, pointing towards a rolling sea of clouds in the distance.

"That way, Princess Consort. Would you like to ride in my gourd or have your divine beast carry you Wow... this must be the legendary ancient divine beast Hu Zhu! I've never seen one before..." The little boy eyed Hu Zhu with envious admiration, wanting to touch it but afraid to reach out.

Everyone says immortals are carefree and detached, but in my view, they seem to place great importance on etiquette...

This little boy was a servant before the great god Taiyi. He belonged to the kind of small immortals who were light in body but heavy in authority. Looking into Hu Zhu's eyes, he held a tinge of longing and respect, and did not feel that he could touch him at will just because Hu Zhu was a "beast".

Then Phu gently blinked a few times and bowed his head slightly to show the young boy friendliness.

The little boy swallowed nervously and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Your Highness has a divine beast by her side, truly enviable. I heard that the Great Shaman King also has scales from an Azure Dragon, which is the consort of the celestial emperor Donghua Taiyi… Even ordinary immortals wouldn't dare to look directly at it."

"Dare not look straight at it" I was taken aback. Could it be that, when facing a giant dragon, one should "avoid suspicion"

"...Many immortals haven't seen the gods of ancient times. Only great deities like the Three Pure Ones and Four Supreme Emperors might have. We, such as small immortals or wandering immortals, are all juniors. How dare we look directly at the celestial deity's wife She is not an ordinary dragon."

"An ordinary dragon Dragons are never ordinary!"

"Oh... It's not unusual for ordinary people, is it, Your Highness You haven't seen many She Dragons before, have you And there's a white python named Bai Ni by your side... Haven't you gotten used to it yet"

"I've gotten used to seeing snakes, but I'm not used to seeing dragons... Hey, why haven't you left yet"

The little boy stood here and talked to me for ages, but he didn't take a step.

"Huh Didn't I say we were going there" He pointed at the cloud formation above. "That's one of Taiyi's domains, with a boundless ocean that can connect to all realms."

"Can we get into the tomb of the King of the Witches" I asked.

He frowned and shook his head. "I can't say for sure about that, it depends on the divine power of the deity. But since you are looking for Mu Wanchen, if you focus your thoughts, make a wish, and the deity is willing to help you, he will surely be able to send you to where he is... as for whether it is dangerous or safe, I don't know."

He took down the large gourd from his back, wove fingers chanting spells, and the gourd suddenly grew larger.

The little boy rode on the gourd's waist, holding onto the silk thread at the mouth of the gourd. He turned his head and said to me, "Little princess, come with me quickly."

I turned my head to look at Fu Zhu, it "reluctantly" hummed and said: "Since your soul is out of your body now, you shouldn't be as heavy as you were when you were mortal. Come up."

This guy, carrying humans is really a hardship for him.

Here, the forms of all creatures are completely different from those in the mortal realm. When they leap up, their hooves strike clouds and, following the child's gourd, they jump into the air.

I have a vague feeling that I'm standing on a platform on a mountain, but my cultivation is not enough to see the gate of the mountain, nor can I see many strange sights.

The Great Eastern Qinghua Emperor, the Supreme God of Taixue and the Supreme God Taiyi, this great deity enlightened the Pure Lands of all directions and incarnated as the Supreme God of Saving Suffering in All Directions. He responds to calls and saves sentient beings from suffering.

The little boy seemed very accustomed to his large gourd, opening it freely and carelessly. He led the way through clouds and mist at an incredible speed.

I held onto husband's neck, watching it nonchalantly stride through the clouds, right behind the little boy. I was so scared that I huddled in its fur, too afraid to look down.

"The little princess is afraid now, there will be more hardship to come later!"

"What!"

"Here we are, look."

The little boy pointed with his hand, and I saw a boundless, gray sea.

Grand and imposing, soaring above the clouds.

Smoke and mist swirl, like the Milky Way.

But the atmosphere here... lacks that ethereal quality. Instead, it's filled with a profound silence.

Although the waves were crashing, there was no "life" in them. The dull sea surface lacked the magnificence I had imagined, leaving only a faint sense of melancholy.

"Whoa~ Lord Rahu has arrived." The young boy looked at Lord Rahu standing on the cliff edge, facing the wind.

That icy "young" god, was frowning as he looked out over this dark sea.

As soon as we arrived, he questioned the child, "I've only heard that this place leads to the underworld. Are you sure it also leads to other realms"

"It's not me who's sure!" the little boy quickly waved his hand to explain, "It's Taichi God who said it... The deity can enlighten the ten directions of the world, so he wouldn't lie. Just jump in and you'll know..."

“This is the Sea of Suffering, just standing here makes my mood feel disturbed, let alone jumping in.” Luohu Xingjun's brows and eyes held some worry.

The little boy grinned, pointing at me: "What are you afraid of We have Xiao, Wang, Fei, ya~~"my hand and glanced around at random, knowing that the blood wasn't mine, he just flicked his sleeve and returned to his "strict teacher training" demeanor.Whether it be ordinary people or malevolent...
