Chapter 4, Trivia
The celestial guide's expression stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly: "Ahem... The Celestial Emperor has foreknowledge of five hundred years and hindsight of five hundred years. As a mere insignificant figure, you have intruded upon his territory; the Celestial Emperor will certainly be aware of it"
The celestial envoy paced with small steps: "As a mere mortal from your realm, you should not and cannot be in the celestial realm. Since you have arrived here, the question is whether to send you back to the mortal realm or allow you to remain in the celestial realm. I believe the Celestial Emperor will soon issue a decree regarding this matter. However, regardless of the outcome, you cannot stay by the side of the Pregnant Immortal Lake forever. Not to mention that I have only five years left until my term expires, the decree previously issued by the Celestial Emperor does not permit exceptions like you. Therefore... you will ultimately have to leave. If you remain in the celestial realm, you must exit this barrier, and if you are sent back to the mortal realm... well, that seems unlikely!"
"Yunxian Lake," Li Chengzhu said in confusion, suddenly realizing, "I understand now, this lake is the foundation of the fairy realm"
The celestial guide stroked the goat's beard, gazing into the distance, revealing a profound expression: "Wherever there are people, there exists a world of rivers and lakes"
The guiding celestial envoy wore an expression that clearly conveyed, "You are truly foolish," and spoke, "The area within a radius of one thousand miles around the Pregnant Immortal Lake has been enveloped by a grand formation laid down by the Celestial Emperor, the Ten Great Immortals, and the Lord of Books. Without the permission of the Celestial Emperor, no one is allowed to enter. Therefore, in this radius of one thousand miles, it is just the two of us."
Upon hearing this news, Li Chengzhu could not help but perform a front flip and shouted, "Oh yeah!"
Hmph... Hmph! The celestial guide let out a cold snort.
Really?" Li Chengzhu was filled with surprise. He quickly jumped up and grabbed the jade slip, channeling his divine sense into it.
En?" Li Chengzhu slowly approached the old face of the guiding immortal, "Master, there is a saying in my hometown that if you lie, you will lose your front teeth"
Bury this confusion deep in my heart, put on a smile, rub my hands together and say: "Disciple, are you cultivating immortality?"
Since the day he was beaten by the group of Wenxuqiao, Li Chengzhu no longer had the courage to enter that forest. According to the celestial guide, that Wenxuqiao is merely a mid-tier spirit beast of the first rank in the celestial realm, yet it was able to reduce a master in the Enlightenment stage to such a state. If he were to encounter a ninth-tier high-ranking celestial beast, the outcome would likely be no better than falling into a reverse passage. Just thinking about the divine beasts that exist beyond the ninth tier sends a shiver down Li Chengzhu's spine. This is not the celestial realm; it is clearly a beast realm.
The celestial guide seemed to smile and said to the book that was not smiling: "Of course, you cannot enter either."

The celestial guide smiled, put away the digital camera in his arms, and said, "It is not that there are any conditions, but rather that individuals below the level of Da Luo Jin Xian are prohibited from entering"
Cough! The guiding celestial envoy stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. After much effort, they steadied themselves and gradually regulated their breath, thinking to themselves: "Do not get angry, do not get angry"
Do you think anyone can come to this place? The guiding celestial envoy smiled and did not answer
Why?
Oh my God! Li Chengzhu was momentarily lost in thought
Wuwuwu... Master, I was wrong. I truly was wrong
I accept this on behalf of my master. Here, this is a Peiyuan Pill; take it and cultivate with it.
The celestial guide continued leisurely, saying: "It is estimated that soon the Celestial Emperor will send someone here, and by then you will know how the Celestial Realm intends to arrange for you."
After some thought, I suddenly had a change of mind and asked, "Wait a minute, Master, how would the Immortal Emperor know that a small person like me has arrived in the Immortal Realm?"
Li Chengzhu asked in astonishment: "Are there any other conditions?"
Upon closer observation, although this young man has experienced a significant increase in his cultivation level, it is strange that there are no signs of an unstable foundation. It is as if he has cultivated step by step on his own, rather than having his abilities forcibly enhanced through elixirs.
Slowly taking out a jade slip from the ring, he spoke: "This is a message from the sect, transmitted by your ancestral master. The Western Angel Legion is invading, and it is estimated that for the time being, the Immortal Emperor will not have the time to pay attention to you, this novice."
Hehe, disciple, I have good news to share with you," the guiding celestial envoy said with a smile
The celestial guide frowned as he looked at Li Chengzhu, finding the speed at which this disciple from the mortal realm was cultivating in the way of immortality to be exceedingly unusual. Although he had not personally experienced the cultivation prior to the Nascent Soul stage, it seemed implausible that one could leap levels with every single practice session. The first time, he jumped from the late stage of the Illumination phase to the mid stage of the Fasting phase; the second time, from the mid stage of the Fasting phase to the early stage of the Illumination phase; and this time, even more astonishingly, he jumped directly from the early stage of the Illumination phase to the mid stage of the Integration phase, a total leap of four levels. While this could be attributed to the elixirs he provided and the abundant spiritual energy in this place, it still felt far too abnormal.
That is so. One should at least consider whose disciple it is!" Li Chengzhu said with a smirk.
Li Chengzhu said without blinking an eye.
The celestial guide awkwardly rubbed his hands together and chuckled, saying, "Ah, hehe, the weather today... haha!"
The celestial messenger raised his palm and slapped it onto Li Chengzhu's head, saying: "Fool. What is the name of the lake behind you?"
... ...
I heard that someone has something called a mobile phone, right
Li Chengzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense!"
... ...
Recalling his miserable state upon waking, Li Chengzhu couldn't help but tremble. He estimated that if he were to go outside and be captured by that so-called ancient fairy, it would surely be no better than death.
Cough... it is merely a cockroach from the mortal realm
Why? Li Chengzhu opened his mouth wide
Li Chengzhu patted his chest, a look of pride on his face: "That ancient fairy, can she not come in either?"
The celestial guide glanced at Li Chengzhu and smiled slightly, saying, "It is rare that you still hold righteousness in your eyes"
The celestial envoy chuckled twice. Ever since he learned that I had reported to the Celestial Emperor, he has never given me a pleasant expression again. He even managed to extort a considerable number of elixirs and a storage ring from me, claiming it was for mental distress. What kind of disciple is this? He is nothing short of a bandit.
"Set me up?" Li Chengzhu looked puzzled.
"Master, what rank is the Nail Beast?" Li Chengzhu asked without shame.
"Master wishes to ... ... Oh no, it is only right that I, this unfilial disciple, should show my respect to you, esteemed elder." After saying this, trembling, he took out the phone with the book and handed it over with both hands
Because sending someone to the mortal realm requires three celestial lords to stabilize the reverse passage, do you think the celestial lords would waste their time and celestial energy on a minor character like you? Therefore, it is highly likely that you will remain in the celestial realm
On this day, Li Chengzhu was fervently absorbing the spiritual energy beside the Pregnant Immortal Lake, when he felt someone approach him. Upon opening his eyes, he realized it was his master
Li Chengzhu felt a wave of frustration and suddenly recalled something, asking, "Master, why have I never seen anyone else here? I have been here for at least a month."
The body transformed by the guiding celestial light is indeed strong. Even after being frozen for half a day, the guiding celestial envoy shook his head in disbelief and sighed that there was no hope. However, Li Chengzhu managed to survive through his tenacious vitality, and within a few days, he was full of life again, with even the bruises from the frost completely vanished. All of this left the guiding celestial envoy astonished, claiming that his obedient disciple's vitality could rival that of the Jia You beast.
After a while, he finally returned it to the guiding celestial being with a smile.
Li Chengzhu stood tall and proud, exuding an imposing presence. Clenching his fists, he stepped forward and declared loudly: "Those who offend my celestial might shall be punished, no matter how far they may be!"
"Master, why is there still fighting in the Immortal Realm?" Li Chengzhu asked, puzzled
