Chapter 1020 The Ultimate Truth of the Three Elements
If Xiaoyu can once again achieve the unity of "Heaven, Earth, and Man" in terms of the power of Heaven and Earth, she will have the power of the human king of Shenzhou.

Just like when he was in Western Shu, he will rely on this power that unites Heaven, Earth, and Man, just like the "Minor Heavenly Way" in this region.

With a single glance, she could almost immediately see which immortals, demons, and gods were hidden within Mount Hua.

The reason it is "almost" is because Mount Hua is one of the Five Sacred Mountains and has the Western Sacred Palace.

If the deities are hidden inside the Western Mountain Divine Palace, even if she is the "King of Huashan," she cannot see their presence.

Now she has no power as king, only the power over the land, and at least she can find a blessed land rooted in Mount Hua.

Zongxuan Cave Heaven is located in the Middle Realm, but its "roots" are in Mount Hua.

Xiao Yu activated the "Wind and Water Refining Spirit" technique, merging his soul with the Five Sacred Mountains True Form Diagram, and his entire being almost transformed into Mount Hua.

She is the real and magnificent Mount Hua right before my eyes.

So how could she not know about the "roots" of Zongxuan Cave Heaven in Mount Hua?
The gate connecting Zongxuan Cave Heaven to the human world is located on Chaoyang Peak of Mount Hua, thirty feet diagonally above the sunrise viewing platform at the summit.

As the sun rises in the east, the people living around Mount Hua see an immortal bathed in the morning glow, his body radiating golden light. He leaps from the summit platform, soaring ten zhang high, and then suddenly disappears.

They thought it was a miracle, but it was actually a Qi cultivator entering the Grand Mystery Cave.

The entrance to the cave at Chaoyang Peak is one of the thicker roots of the Zongxuan Cave, which is rooted in the many roots of Mount Hua.

All the other root systems were sealed and enclosed, except for this one root system, which was "hollow"—creating a time tunnel.
It can connect the celestial realm (middle realm) with the human realm.

Xiaoyu didn't use the main entrance of Chaoyang Peak at all.

She randomly chose a root system and entered the Zongxuan Cave Heaven as "Mount Hua".

"Wow, so many immortals! Even if Dou Gengyan were really in the Zongxuan Grotto-Heaven, he wouldn't be able to find them!"

Xiaoyu appeared directly in a sea of ​​clouds.

The east cast a vast expanse of golden light, turning the sea of ​​clouds into a boundless, shimmering ocean of gold, with undulating waves creating a truly magnificent sight.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there are hundreds of immortals and fairies, some riding on auspicious clouds and soaring freely, some riding phoenixes and dragons, and some driving chariots with huge canopies.

They flew in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing leisurely, from the west, south, and north, heading towards the majestic immortal city in the east.

In the direction they came from, one could vaguely see fairy islands floating in the sea of ​​clouds.

The immortal city they were heading to stood in the very center of the sea of ​​clouds, a height of 100,000 zhang.

Thousands of steps were stacked to form a diamond-shaped stone platform 50,000 feet high.

In the center of the stone platform stands a white-gold palace in the style of an imperial palace, like a long sword inserted into the stone platform.

From a distance, those "steps" appear as simple steps. But once inside, the space is as vast as a city. Exotic flowers and trees are planted along the way, and amidst the lush vegetation, beautiful peaks and clear, azure lakes dot the landscape.

Cranes fly over the lake, and unicorns roar in the mountains.

Each of the various wonders is unique and distinctive, leaving visitors overwhelmed with their beauty.

The immortals crossed the sea of ​​clouds and arrived at the platform in front of the main hall. Some went directly into the hall, while others sat cross-legged on the stone slabs, chanting prayers praising the Golden Heavenly King, the Jade Emperor, and the Three Pure Ones.

As the immortals offered their prayers, the eastern sky became even brighter and clearer, showering down even more golden light.

In the endless golden light, one can vaguely see the boundless Heavenly Palace.

Even from a great distance, one can only see a corner of the Land of Abundance.

Xiao Yu, with her sharp eyes, spotted a gilded plaque hanging on a huge gatehouse in Tianfu, bearing the four large characters "Lingxiao Palace".

She immediately realized that immortals could fly directly from the Zongxuan Cave Heaven to the Heavenly Court.

"This should be the headquarters for registering Heavenly Registers."

Xiaoyu raised her right hand and wiped her face.

She remained a graceful and beautiful fairy, but her star-patterned robe had been replaced with a pure white, wide-sleeved fairy dress.

The Qiaoshi sword transformed into two glass-like hairpins, which were then inserted into the hair bun.

She changed her gray-blue hemp shoes into apricot-yellow round-toed soft-soled embroidered shoes.

She flew around the steps at great speed, and after a quick look, she found no trace of Dou Gengyan.

This is a paradise, where one day is equivalent to a year in the outside world, so she has no time to cause trouble.

Stepping on celestial clouds, they instantly arrived on the high platform and in front of the palace.

Most immortals focus on reciting Taoist scriptures.

Some immortals even took a break, tilting their heads and looking at this unfamiliar face with a questioning gaze.

However, no one doubted her. She exuded a strong Daoist aura and pure immortal energy, clearly a true immortal.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. As Xiaoyu floated forward quickly, she recited scriptures praising the Golden Heavenly King and the Jade Emperor.

We continued until we reached the entrance of the main hall.

The main hall appears to be cast in platinum, standing tens of thousands of feet tall, its entire body shimmering with a silvery-white metallic luster.

Despite its metallic sheen, the palace exudes an ancient and weathered feel, without a trace of modernity.

At the entrance of the main hall stands a stone tablet a hundred feet tall, inscribed with the four large characters "Sanyuan Jizhen".

Although the building was very tall, the main gate was only ten zhang wide and twenty zhang high.

It appears somewhat small compared to the building itself.

"Fairy, you look unfamiliar. What brings you to the Three Primal Extreme True Palace today?"

Before entering, a young-looking Taoist priest with deep eyes came over, bowed, and then asked with a smile.

He must be a "deity" who ascended to heaven with his primordial spirit, holding divine positions and possessing profound Taoist cultivation.

Xiao Yu pointed to the immortals in front of him and said, "I am a Qi cultivator from Mount Shu. Like them, I have come here to register in the Heavenly Register."

—Which mountain, which sect, and from which master do the Qi cultivators of Mount Shu belong?
The Taoist frowned slightly, but his smile remained unchanged. He extended his hand and invited, "So you are a fellow Taoist from Mount Shu. Please come in."

Once Xiaoyu entered the gate, he stopped guarding it and stayed by her side, following her as she flew towards the "Ascending to Heaven Pavilion".

From the outside, the Sanyuan Jizhen Palace appears to be tens of thousands of feet tall.

Upon entering the main hall, one finds it to be a simple structure, consisting of only a single hall that is a hundred feet high.

The hall is divided into more than a dozen areas, decorated in the style of pavilions and towers.

Xiao Yu casually asked, "What is your name, fellow Daoist? The palace is so large, why is there only one floor? What is the space on the upper floor used for?"

Inside the secret chamber, there should be detailed information about the "Sanyuan Jizhen Palace" of the Zongxuan Cave Heaven.

The time allotted to the Heavenly Master was too short; she hadn't had a chance to see him yet.

The Taoist replied, "I am Yi Hui. Is this your first time visiting the Sanyuan Jizhen Palace, Fairy?"

The one above is the 'Heavenly Punishment Platform', which was mainly used to test immortals.

If the fairy is able to obtain the Heavenly Register this time, she will have to come here to participate in the 'Immortal Examination' every certain number of years when she needs to overcome the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations.

Those who pass the 'Immortal Test' and achieve excellent results can be exempted from normal calamities.

However, the trials in my Xuan Cave Heaven are no easier than ordinary heavenly tribulations.

If one fails to pass, one will be banished to the mortal realm, and all one's achievements will vanish.

Xiao Yu became interested and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yi Hui, are there any immortals participating in the Immortal Examination at this time? May I observe from the sidelines?"

The expression on Master Yihui's face seemed to say "I'm not willing." But he remained polite and didn't refuse outright.

"Only three fellow Daoists are participating in the Immortal Examination today (this year). Generally, only immortals who participate in the Immortal Examination can enter the Heavenly Punishment Platform."

"Fairy, you are not even a registered celestial being at this moment."

Xiaoyu said, "I'm about to log into the Heavenly Register, and I'm very nervous."

"Fellow Daoist, let me first see the Celestial Trial at the Heavenly Punishment Platform, lest I regret it later."

—You might not even be able to log into the Heavenly Register, yet you regret it; it is I who should regret it.

I shouldn't have paid attention to you, shouldn't have been curious, and shouldn't have accompanied you to "Dengtiange".

The polite, fake smile on Yi Hui Dao Ren's face could no longer be maintained.

"Fairy, if you haven't made up your mind yet, why don't you go back to Mount Shu and think it over carefully?"

"Since we're already here, we have to give it a try. After we try, we can still hesitate!" Xiaoyu said.

"You've already tried them all, so why are you still hesitating?" Master Yihui asked, puzzled.

"After passing the test, can't I hesitate for a moment and refuse to be included in the Heavenly Register at the last minute?" Xiaoyu said.

—Where did this brain-twisting wind come from?

She clearly possesses profound Taoist charm and pure, boundless immortal aura, befitting a virtuous female immortal. Why then does she spout nonsense the whole way?
By the way, I've been chatting with her nonsensical things, and I still don't know her name.

She said she came from Mount Shu, and that I had believed her before.

After all, she possessed profound Taoist wisdom and pure immortal aura, but now it seems she's just a brainless idiot spouting nonsense.

Even if it's said to come from Mount Shu, it might not be true!
As Master Yi Hui was filled with distracting thoughts, an old Taoist priest opposite him saw him and took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Master Yi Hui, did you bring your friend here to register in the Heavenly Register?"

"Hurry up, I just delivered the register of all the immortals to King Jin."

Xiaoyu and Yihui were talking, but their steps didn't stop. They were flying very fast and had already arrived at the Ascension Pavilion.

Dengtian Pavilion is like an octagonal pavilion, 300 square meters, very spacious.

There were no walls on any side, only a low fence around the perimeter, so people inside could be seen directly.

There were twenty or thirty True Immortals in the pavilion at this time, presumably all there to register in the Heavenly Register.

The old Taoist priest who greeted Master Yihui was wearing a white-gold Taoist robe and holding a white-covered immortal book in his hands.

He was clearly not one of the same kind of people as the immortals who participated in the assessment.

He subconsciously assumed that Xiaoyu had been brought here by Daoist Yihui to participate in the assessment.

He casually greeted her, then peered at Xiaoyu through the fence with his spiritual eyes.

His eyes flashed with a blue light, clearly indicating that he was using a magical technique of the pupil type.

"This fairy is somewhat unfamiliar, but her fairy aura is pure and her Dao energy is abundant. Her physical attributes are somewhat strange, and I cannot see through her."

He's not old, not even thirty yet, but he's an absolute prodigy!

This fairy is probably the most likely immortal to be included in the celestial register and bestowed a divine title this year.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yihui was not surprised. The dozens of True Immortals inside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion all looked at Xiaoyu with envy and scrutiny.

Xiao Yu entered the Ascension Pavilion, first bowing to the old Taoist priest. Looking at the immortal scroll in his hand, he asked, "Taoist priest, your eyes are as sharp as lightning. Are you an examiner of the Ascension Pavilion? Have I now passed the first test?"

The old Taoist priest in white robes noticed her gaze, picked up the immortal book, and let her look at the cover.

The inscription above reads "List of Immortals of the General Mysterious Cave Heaven" in large characters.

"I am the 'Heavenly Mirror Attendant,' responsible for checking the 'roots' and foundations of all you immortal friends."

Then hand your information over to King Jin.

Whether or not you can be included in the Heavenly Register depends primarily on your own Daoist cultivation and good fortune, not on my personal opinion.

Cultivate inner true skills, and external heavenly skills.

If one's internal and external cultivation is sufficient and one's foundation is sound, there is hope of gaining the approval of the Golden Heavenly King, successfully registering in the Heavenly Register, and ranking among the 'Ancestors of Immortals'.

At that time, I will help all my fellow immortals change their names on the registers, transferring them from the Green Book of the Underworld to the Golden Book of Heaven.

Xiao Yu had been so focused on reading the Immortal Manual that he only noticed now that an "Invisible Mirror" stood in the center of the Ascension Pavilion.

The base of the mirror is cast in bronze, and the surface is engraved with a "Hundred Immortals" picture.

It is three meters wide, without a mirror, only half an oval frame.

The immortals inside the Heavenly Pavilion formed a circle, blocking the narrow frame of the mirror, which she didn't notice when she entered.

Seeing her staring intently at the Heavenly Mirror, the white-robed old Taoist shouted to the immortals, "You've already examined the Heavenly Mirror and submitted the documents, so don't block the way. Let this one—"

He turned back and asked, "Where does the fairy cultivate herself, and who is her master?"

Xiao Yu pointed to the Invisible Mirror and said, "Why ask such a question, fellow Daoist? The mirror will immediately reveal my origins."

The old Taoist in white robes tilted his head and looked at Yi Hui with a questioning gaze: Why is your friend being so mysterious?
Master Yihui gently shook his head and then raised his chin toward Tianjing: Just do as she says, let her look in the mirror immediately.

"Please make way, everyone, so that this fairy can see the Heavenly Mirror."

As the white-robed old Taoist shouted, the immortals watching all wisely made way for him.

After Xiaoyu approached the Heavenly Realm, she did not immediately go forward.

"If I look in the mirror, can others see what's inside?"

The old Taoist in white robes nodded and said, "The identities and origins of all the immortals who have registered in my Zongxuan Cave Heaven must be made public to the Three Realms."

Firstly, being listed on the Immortal Ranking brings immense glory to yourself, and your teachers and the Immortal Sect also benefit from the honor.

Secondly, making it public so that all the immortals know about it can also demonstrate the Golden Heavenly King's impartiality and selflessness.

Finally, those whose names are recorded in the celestial register become immortals, and may receive celestial duties and be worshipped by mortals.

"Since no one knows your origins or abilities, how can they spread your name, believe in you, or worship you?"

Xiao Yu looked around at the group of True Immortals and asked, "You have all looked through the Heavenly Mirror, what are you waiting for here?"

A fairy not far from her said, "Of course, we'll wait for the Golden Heavenly King's decision."

The Heavenly Mirror wasn't everything. After looking into the Heavenly Mirror, the Golden Heavenly King learned about our situation, then inquired with the Heavenly Court about our Heavenly Merits, and finally decided which fellow Daoists to select to enter the Heavenly Court.

I just arrived today and am still waiting for news.

"Will King Jin come in person to select people?" Xiaoyu asked again.

She could sense that, at least for now, the Golden King wasn't looking in her direction or staring at her.

But what if the Heavenly Mirror is activated?
A thought struck her, and she quietly changed her own "essence".

She still appears as a fairy with profound Taoist charm, but her essence has changed from "human" to "Mount Hua" itself.

“Normally, the Golden Heavenly Kings don’t need to come to the Heavenly Pavilion; I will personally help you register your names in the Heavenly Register.”

After obtaining the Heavenly Register, you can go to the Western Mountain Divine Palace in the lower realm to pay homage to the Golden Heavenly King.

"Let's see what divine positions the Golden Heavenly King bestows upon you."

As the old man in white robes spoke, he pointed to the celestial mirror, gesturing for her to quickly look into it.
