This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Bai Susu jumped up, looking utterly shocked.

"What did you say?"

Li Daoxuan understood why she was so agitated; anyone would probably not want a monster they couldn't control sealed inside them.

"When we last met, my cultivation was still shallow, and I was unable to see through his true nature."

"Seeing you again today, I've noticed some clues."

"However, you and it have been entangled since birth, your souls are intertwined, so removing it without harming yourself will probably be quite troublesome."

"But it's not impossible."

"If you are willing, young lady, when you return from the Heavenly Realm, this humble Taoist priest can use magic to help you be freed."

Bai Susu's face was flushed, clearly she was too excited to control herself.

"Master...is what you said...true?"

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly.

"While I can't say it's 100% guaranteed to succeed, the chances are pretty high..."

Bai Susu closed her eyes, placed her hands on the table, and trembled all over.

Ever since she learned that there was something inside her that could go out of control at any moment, she hasn't thought about getting rid of it for a single day.

Hearing Li Daoxuan say this now is like a person who has been drowning for a long time finally grasping a lifeline and seeing hope.

After a long while, Bai Susu finally managed to calm down, opened her eyes and looked at Li Daoxuan, her eyes slightly misty.

"Alright, Taoist Master, please tell me what to do..."

Li Daoxuan turned his head and said calmly to the distance:

"Come here, stop eavesdropping..."

Wang Jingshu shrank her neck and walked over with a grin.

"Master, I wasn't eavesdropping, you were just talking too loudly..."

Li Daoxuan ignored her and instead looked at Bai Susu, saying:

"I've already introduced him to you today. Jinghong is my disciple, and he also wants to go to the Heavenly Realm to broaden his horizons."

"However, she was already over thirty and did not have the Imperial Prince's Decree, so she had no chance to go to the Heavenly Realm."

"I will use a spell to hide Jinghong on your body. You just need to act as usual and take her into the Heavenly Realm."

Bai Susu glanced at Wang Jingshu and nodded slightly.

Wang Jingshu then cupped her hands and said:

"I'll have to trouble Miss Bai then."

Bai Susu quickly said:

"You're too kind, Daoist Jinghong..."

Wang Jingshu now understood Li Daoxuan's plan.

Among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques, there is a secret technique called "Size and Size as You Wish".

When it reaches its ultimate size, it can soar to the heavens, emulating the laws of nature.

When something is extremely small, it is like a tiny speck of dust that is invisible to the naked eye, yet it can penetrate into any crevice.

When the time comes, Master only needs to use his supernatural power of size control to shrink her, then hide her in Bai Susu's clothes, and then use the Heaven-Covering Talisman to shield all auras, so that he can naturally get away with it and follow Bai Susu into the Heavenly Realm.

Wang Jingshu guessed this, but Bai Susu did not.

She didn't ask any more questions. Since Li Daoxuan said he had a way, she wouldn't doubt it.

After finishing the story, the three of them sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was noticeably awkward.

Wang Jingshu's gaze lingered between the two of them for a long time before she couldn't help but sigh softly and say helplessly:

"It seems to be another heartbreaking story of a goddess's affections being betrayed by a king..."

Wang Jingshu stood up, breaking the awkward silence.

"It's getting late, I'll go back and rest now."

Bai Susu immediately came to her senses and quickly stood up, saying:

"I'm going back too..."

After saying this, he gave a slight bow and hurriedly went to his room.

Wang Jingshu watched her door close before turning to look at Li Daoxuan. She casually set up a barrier and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Master, I think this young lady in white is quite nice. Although I don't know what's hidden inside her, it would be fine if it were removed. Why is Master unwilling... unwilling..."

Li Daoxuan's gaze turned serious, and he sighed softly.

There's no reason why I have to like someone just because they're good in this world...

"The word 'love' is the most difficult to fathom."

"Perhaps it's because I'm not destined for marriage..."

Li Daoxuan casually broke Wang Jingshu's barrier and went back to his room.

Wang Jingshu watched her master's departing figure, and a strange pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that her master had a transcendent quality about him.

This detachment from worldly affairs is not something that comes from cultivation, but rather something that is ingrained in one's bones. It is as if the master is not of the same kind as this world, and there is an invisible barrier between him and all living beings in this world.

"Does becoming a Dao Ancestor mean standing alone at that highest point?"

Wang Jingshu couldn't understand it and could only sigh again.

Three days later, at the Hongyu Sacred Palace Square in Tianxiang City, in front of the thousand-foot-tall Heavenly Gate, as the sun rose, ripples suddenly appeared inside the empty Heavenly Gate.

That was the disturbance of the power of the void, causing ripples to spread.

Young talents from all directions who had come to Tianxiang City were already waiting in the square in front of the Heavenly Gate. Upon seeing this scene, they were all excited and eager to try.

Although everyone knows that as long as they can pass through the Heavenly Gate and walk on the Heavenly Road, they will have the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Realm.

Apart from those at the Martial God Realm, no one in the entire world has ever dared to try it.

The Heavenly Gate was forged by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and later refined by the Great Emperor Hongyu, containing the power of the two emperors.

Even if one is an Earth Immortal, if they dare to trespass, nine out of ten will die and their cultivation will be destroyed.

The last one will also be beaten into a cripple.

Only a Martial God can withstand the baptism of this terrifying power and successfully enter the Heavenly Road or the Sacred Realm of the Primordial Universe.

When the waves inside the Heavenly Gate reached their peak, a crack suddenly appeared in the center.

It was as if something had torn a hole in it.

Immediately afterwards, endless rainbow rays of light shone out from the crack, illuminating the entire Celestial City and turning it into a kaleidoscope of colors.

"Look! It's the Heavenly Road! The Heavenly Road has appeared..."

Everyone gasped in surprise and looked toward the depths of that heavenly gate.

Sure enough, they discovered a heavenly path formed by the condensation of the power of heaven and earth.

There was no end in sight; all that could be seen were countless stars surrounding the sky, and even a Milky Way streaking across the heavens.

"Rumor has it that the Celestial Realm is hidden in the outer reaches of space, and the legend is indeed true..."

Everyone was extremely excited.

The Celestial Realm only appears once every thousand years, and these mortals who have not yet become Martial Gods, or even Earth Immortals, will never see such a spectacle in their entire lives.

Even if I didn't make it into the Heavenly Realm this time, this experience will be enough to comfort me in the days to come.

"Is this the Celestial Realm?"

Li Daoxuan murmured softly.

However, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The starry sky inside the Heavenly Gate gave him an extremely mysterious and profound feeling.

Looking at it is like looking into an abyss, and a sense of unease inexplicably wells up in your heart.

Unfortunately, one cannot see what the real Heavenly Realm looks like from this Heavenly Gate alone.

Moreover, Li Daoxuan repeatedly calculated with his hand hidden in his sleeve, but could only barely figure out the existence of the Heavenly Domain, and knew nothing about its fortune or misfortune.

"Unknown... Interesting. The Great Emperor realm is indeed extraordinary..."

Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

"Look, someone's coming out! It's the Heavenly Envoy..."

Just then, the crowd suddenly became agitated.
