Chapter 1146: Young Lord of the Immortal Palace
Scowling, Xu Qing reached out and crushed the jade slip. Then he flicked his sleeve, taking Patriarch Diling and the others with him out of the fresco of Mount South Heaven. Once outside in the hall, Patriarch Diling and the others knew their lives had been saved. All of them bowed excitedly in thanks to Xu Qing.
“I am your humble servant Madam Spiritmoon from the Tianyue Clan in the northern planetary system,” said the female cultivator. “Many thanks for your help, Fellow Daoist. If you ever travel to the north and need any help at all, I’ll be at your call!”
As for the middle-aged cultivator, he took a deep breath and gravely said, “I am Zhang Shiyi from the School of the Enlightened Spirit in the south. I’ll never forget how you saved my life, Fellow Daoist. No matter where I am, all you need to do is call for help, and I’ll do everything in my power to rise to the occasion!”
There was no question that they would have died were it not for Xu Qing’s arrival. Their gratitude was sincere and heartfelt.
Finally came Patriarch Diling, who was extremely excited. “Exalted one, I’m so glad we’ve been reunited.”
All of a sudden, he remembered something important. “The exalted Li Mengtu looked for you to no avail. He finally went to the fourth world. But he wanted me to explain a few things to you. If you’d like, I can convey his words now.”
Xu Qing nodded.
“The exalted Li Mengtu wanted me to explain that some things about the entrance to the fourth world have changed this time around. In the past, all you needed to do was display your canon, and you could easily get into the fourth world.
“But this time, there are more specific requirements. Based on what the exalted Li Mengtu has uncovered, you have to obtain a special identity! Therefore, he wanted me to explain, not just the place to go to get to the fourth world, but also the manner in which you can secure an identity. He also wanted me to tell you his identity there.”
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.
“The entrance to the fourth world is located in the northern part of the palace, in a sea. The name of that sea is ‘North.’” Patriarch Diling was trying to quickly explain all the information he had. “There’s a gateway in the North Sea. As for your identity, you can get one in the North Sea. You just get an identity medallion there. As for which identity you get, it will depend on your own good fortune.[1]
