Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

This investigation is reasonable.

However, Lin Nan was extremely curious: "Why on earth could the immortal official title I obtained in modern times be synchronized to the Journey to the West in the first place, and even appear directly in the Heavenly Palace Immortal Records?"

He looked down at the official seal and other things on his body that represented his identity, and his heart was filled with doubts.

"Don't blame me, fellow Daoist. We are just doing our duty." Seeing that Lin Nan remained silent, King Zhangzhang thought that he was unhappy and hurriedly explained.

The Heavenly Soldiers standing by also put away their weapons and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, sir. We didn't mean to offend you."

Lin Nan reacted after hearing this. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't blame me."

At this moment, Lin Nan, as a third-rank immortal official, is the "Taiji Zhenyi Immortal Lord, the Divine Sky Jade Pivot, the Traveling Envoy, who is in charge of judging the affairs of the various departments and offices in the north and south." This position means that his mission is within the "Divine Sky Jade Pivot."

This department is the only one in the Heavenly Court that obeys orders but not announcements. It is in charge of the land of divine thunder and is also the private land of the Taoist sect. Ordinary immortals in the Heavenly Court are not qualified to enter, even if they want to.

Therefore, although Lin Nan's official position was only the third rank, his assignment gave him considerable weight in the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, the ranks of this Heavenly King Zhangzhang and his group of Heavenly Warriors were not as high as Lin Nan’s, so naturally they were very respectful to him at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist, you may come in." Heavenly King Zhangzhang made way for him, and the Heavenly Guards formed two rows, guarding on both sides, allowing Lin Nan to walk through.

Lin Nan was not polite at all, and his heart was filled with infinite curiosity about the heaven behind the South Gate of Heaven.

Last time in Guanghan Palace, he only glimpsed a corner, and the mystery and magnificence made him yearn for it. This time, he resolutely stepped through the majestic Nantian Gate, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed, making him dazzled.

Standing inside the Nantian Gate and looking back outside, one can only see clouds and mist, as if the only thing around this magnificent gate is a vast sea of ​​clouds. However, once you step into the Nantian Gate, it is as if you have stepped into another world. This is the heaven, the holy place where the gods live. The scene is completely different from that outside the gate.

Behind the door was the heaven, the legendary paradise. Thousands of golden lights, like brilliant red neon, filled the sky; thousands of auspicious auras, spewing out a faint mist of gloom, lingered endlessly.

Lin Nan looked back at the South Gate of Heaven again, and saw it standing there in deep green, its entire body as dazzling as colored glaze, and inlaid with countless precious stones, sparkling brightly.

On both sides, dozens of Zhentian Marshals stood tall, each of them leaning against a pillar, holding an iron pestle and holding a flag, looking extremely majestic.

Dozens of golden-armored gods were standing around, holding spears and whips, knives and swords, looking very imposing.

On the inner wall, several towering pillars rise into the sky, on which are entwined red-bearded dragons with golden scales shining in the sun, looking lifelike; there are also several long bridges spanning the sky, on which are hovering red-crowned phoenixes with colorful feathers dancing gracefully.

Lin Nan was deeply shocked by the scene before him. The magnificence was even more amazing than the boundless starry sky.

He walked forward subconsciously and saw thirty-three palaces lined up in the sky in the distance. Each palace had a different style and characteristics.

In addition to these heavenly palaces in the clouds, there are seventy-two treasure palaces scattered around, such as the Chaohui Hall, Lingxu Hall, Baoguang Hall, Tianwang Hall, Lingguan Hall... These treasure palaces that could only be heard of in myths and seen in ancient books in the past are now truly presented before his eyes.

Lin Nan continued to move forward, and the Taoist seal on his body emitted rays of immortal light that enveloped him.

Along the way, the patrolling warriors and wandering maids of heaven all bowed to him and showed great respect. Unconsciously, Lin Nan arrived in front of a palace. When he looked up, he saw the words "Lingxue Palace" engraved on the palace door.

"Hey, you look unfamiliar. Who are you..." A surprised voice sounded. Lin Nan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an immortal with white hair, a youthful face and a long beard staring at him.

"My name is Taibai Jinxing, who is this..." Taibai Jinxing asked.

"Huh? Taibai Jinxing?" Lin Nan's heart trembled. He was no stranger to this great god.

Although Taibai Jinxing didn't like fighting, he was an important civil servant in front of the Jade Emperor. His status was not low, he was Taibai Jinxing among the seven stars, although he couldn't be compared with the two supreme star gods Taiyin and Taiyang, but he was more than enough to command the twenty-eight constellations.

"It turns out to be Taibai Jinxing." Lin Nan hurriedly greeted him and introduced himself, "I am Lin Nan, the 'Taiji Zhenyi Immortal Lord, the Divine Sky Jade Pivot, the Traveling Envoy, the Judge of the Northern and Southern Departments'. I was originally a cultivator in the lower world, but I traveled to the heavens by accident."

Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and said with a smile, "So we are fellow Taoists from the lower world. Being able to travel to the heavens, it seems that achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven is just around the corner. In the future, we will also become colleagues in the heavens."

Although Lin Nan introduced himself as an immortal official from the lower world, Taibai Jinxing did not look down on him at all.

Just as he said, being able to travel to the heavens, how could this be achieved by ordinary practitioners? Moreover, Taibai Jinxing also knew about Lin Nan's "title" and understood that it was a third-rank immortal official, and his status was not low.

He knew that a person like Lin Nan must have a background to be able to be listed as an immortal in the human world.

As long as one reaches a certain level of cultivation and ascends to heaven, he will surely become an extraordinary and free immortal in the heavenly court.

Therefore, Taibai Jinxing did not despise him, but said enthusiastically: "Since you have come here, why don't you follow me into the palace, so that you can meet the Jade Emperor and all the future fellow Taoists."

After receiving the invitation, Lin Nan was full of curiosity about the Jade Emperor and the many immortal officials, so he agreed after a little consideration.

After Taibai Jinxing instructed him on some things, he asked him to follow him and enter the Lingxiao Palace together.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, there is a throne right at the top, on which the Jade Emperor sits, his posture casual yet majestic, as if he has been sitting here since time immemorial.

On both sides stood many immortals, many of whom were well-known to Lin Nan. Being in this hall full of gods, Lin Nan felt extremely wonderful.

Taibai Jinxing greeted the immortals on both sides casually, while introducing the identities of each immortal to Lin Nan.

Then, he turned to the Jade Emperor and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is Lin Nan, the 'Taiji Zhenyi Immortal Lord, the Divine Sky Jade Pivot, the Traveling Envoy, the Judge of the Northern and Southern Ministries and Courts'. He unexpectedly came here today in a trance." The Jade Emperor sat upright on the throne and nodded slightly, looking majestic yet kind. He looked at Lin Nan and said, "I remember that you once petitioned the Heavenly Court to pray for rain for the lower world."

The Jade Emperor directly recognized Lin Nan's identity and had some impression of him. Although Lin Nan was not an immortal official appointed by the Jade Emperor, his identity was a part of the Taoist system, and the Jade Emperor, as a god in the Taoist system, had to acknowledge this.

"It is me," Lin Nan responded respectfully. The Jade Emperor called him "Love", but he still called himself "I am a Poor Taoist", which was both a manifestation of meticulousness and his insistence on his own identity.

In the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals and gods were speechless after hearing this. Instead, the five thunder generals greeted Lin Nan one after another: "Daoist Lin Nan!"

Lin Nan responded to them with a smile. These five thunder generals were not unfamiliar to him. When he prayed for rain in Chechi Country, the five thunder generals almost came. However, the four sea dragon kings were not included in this list because they did not attend court on a daily basis.

“Judging from your cultivation, it seems that it is only a matter of time before you are truly included in the ranks of immortals.” The Jade Emperor looked at Lin Nan and said approvingly.

"On the path of cultivation, I am only a beginner." Lin Nan responded modestly. Although he was in the body of a primordial spirit at the moment, this fact could not be hidden from most of the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace. However, none of the immortals and gods present looked down on Lin Nan, because they could see that Lin Nan was only one step away from becoming an immortal.

In addition, Lin Nan's status as a Taoist priest made him a "Little Heavenly Master". Even the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace did not dare to underestimate him.

After some greetings, Lin Nan was able to get to know all the gods in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor looked around the Lingxiao Palace and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the four great Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Palace are not here, otherwise you could meet and reminisce about the past."

Although there are many well-known gods in the Lingxiao Palace, there are not many "great gods". In the heavenly court, there are many gods who are in the heavenly court but do not obey orders, such as Taiyin, Taiyang Xingjun, the Four Emperors and Five Imperial Guards, the Four Heavenly Masters, etc. These great gods with great magical powers are rarely seen in the Lingxiao Palace on a daily basis. Only the occasional Peach Festival or some other banquet can allow them to show up.

Hearing the words of the Jade Emperor, Lin Nan felt somewhat relieved. He thought to himself that fortunately the Four Heavenly Masters were not present, otherwise if they asked him about his master, wouldn't he be exposed all at once? After all, his name Lin Nan had been passed down for who knows how many times in modern times, and the inheritance of Taoist names in this world was far from this level.

On the surface, Lin Nan responded respectfully: "We will meet again in the future."

"That's right." The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Now I wait for you to cultivate and become an immortal as soon as possible and join the immortal class."

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor changed the topic and stopped talking about Lin Nan, and started talking about the daily affairs of the Heavenly Palace. Lin Nan felt quite novel staying here, as this was his first experience like this.

Fortunately, this court meeting did not last too long. As the Jade Emperor closed his eyes to rest, the immortals in the hall left one after another, including Lin Nan. After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, the voices of the immortals began to discuss one after another.

Among them, the immortals from the Thunder Department came up and invited Lin Nan, saying, "Daoyou, would you like to come to the Thunder Department often? Your Shenxiao Division is also near our Thunder Department Palace."

Hearing this, Lin Nan refused directly. It was true that Shenxiaosiyuan was where he worked, but it was also the Bailiu land of Taoism. Most of the Taoist priests and heavenly masters of Zhengyi Sect were conferred here. Lin Nan was worried that if he went there, he might bump into some senior and ask each other questions, which would be bad.

"I will go there someday in the future." Lin Nan refused and said, "Thank you for your help last time. I will have a good time with you when I come to heaven again."

"Okay, okay, haha." The five thunder generals laughed and left, and their favorable impression of Lin Nan increased a little bit.

Taibai Jinxing stayed beside Lin Nan. After the other immortals left, Taibai Jinxing stayed beside Lin Nan and said, "Daoyou, do you want to take a tour of the Heavenly Palace?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Lin Nan responded bluntly.

At that moment, they began to tour the Heavenly Palace. Taibai Jinxing said as they walked, "So, I am not unfamiliar with you. Have you ever been favored by Taiyin Xingjun?"

"That's right." Lin Nan admitted frankly, "I wonder why the Star Lord knows this?"

Taibai Jinxing said slowly: "We are the Seven Star Lords, and we are like brothers. And Lady Taiyin is the first one, and she is highly respected."

"That's why Lady Taiyin once told us that if we encounter a Taoist from the lower world who comes to ask for help, we must lend a hand and do our best to help."

“Now it seems that the Taoist who came to the lower world is referring to Fellow Daoist Lin Nan.” Taibai Jinxing explained in detail.

When Lin Nan heard this, he suddenly realized that this was the special care given by Taiyin Xingjun. He couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and he felt more grateful to Taibai Jinxing.

In fact, Lin Nan had practiced the "Tai Shang Dong Zhen Five Star Secret Sutra", so he had an indissoluble bond with the stars. When Taibai Jinxing saw Lin Nan, he naturally felt very close to him, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

"I hope Taibai Star Lord will take care of me in the future." Lin Nan greeted politely.

"That's natural, that's natural." Taibai Jinxing responded with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in visiting the Tianshi Mansion? Or going to the Tushita Palace to meet the Jade Emperor?" Taibai Jinxing asked Lin Nan for his opinion.

For Lin Nan, both the Tianshi Mansion and Taishang Laojun are his elders and ancestors. Although he respects them in his heart, he is a little hesitant at this moment.

"I will visit you again when I become an immortal in the future." Lin Nan found a reason to decline. He was a little nervous, worried that if he went there, he would be discovered, and the situation would be awkward and difficult to resolve.

At this moment, two boys came slowly from a distance, holding gourds in their hands. They saw Taibai Jinxing and Lin Nan at a glance, and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Is that Senior Brother Mingxuan from the Taoist sect in front of us?"

Taibai Jinxing turned around upon hearing this and saw the two boys. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "So they are the two alchemy boys beside Laojun in the Tushita Palace, Jin Ling and Yin Ling."

Lin Nan was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the two boys were actually looking for him. He knew in his heart that although the two boys were named Jin Ling and Yin Ling, they were actually the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn on the Journey to the West.

"This..." Lin Nan couldn't help but wonder, "Why would they come to see me?"

King of the Golden Horn and King of the Silver Horn, these were their names when they came down to earth as demons. (End of this chapter)
