Liu Daoist thought for a moment and said, "For years, I've guarded the Lady's stele and have grown quite familiar with Mr. Chen. The Goddess Temple now has only this stele, and every day he comes to offer incense, showing utmost respect to the Lady. He's also a diligent person, coming daily to sit under the tree and listen to the Ghost Scholar's lectures. Although the Ghost Scholar often muddles him, he studies earnestly and surprisingly came up with some unconventional methods."
Lady Houtu looked at him, listening quietly.
Liu Daoist pondered further and said, "I've always kept an eye on them, suspecting that the Ghost Scholar's endless chatter might lead this child astray. Yet, he took the Scholar exams and unexpectedly emerged as the top scorer. He took the Advanced Scholar exams and again topped the list. When he went for the top scorer in the imperial exams, he managed to break through all obstacles and indeed returned as the top scorer. I then thought, this child is different from the True King and other geniuses. He has mastered a myriad of unconventional methods, but perhaps he truly can accomplish something."
Lady Houtu glanced at him.
Liu Daoist hurriedly said, "I haven't received any benefits from him to speak on his behalf!"
Lady Houtu smiled faintly and said, "You've received a lot of incense from him, haven't you?"
Liu Daoist maintained his composure: "When he offers incense to the Lady, he occasionally gives me one stick too, but I won't let this matter make me biased towards him."
Lady Houtu waved her sleeve, and Liu Daoist retreated.
Lady Houtu again gazed toward the Yin Yang Two Realms of the West Bull New Continent, pondering for a moment, and said, "Though it's a remote region, it still holds my doctrine. I have revived bearing All Gods' prayers and cannot disappoint them. Whether to proceed or not, a trial must be done!"
Qing Yang walked on the solitary path, which grew increasingly narrow, as fine as a sheep's intestine, with dark sea water on both sides rumbling loudly.
It instead revealed its true body, trotting joyfully, its rear swaying back and forth.
Having walked for an indeterminate distance, suddenly a light appeared ahead, and upon approaching, a scene of the Immortal Realm entered view: verdant mountains, green waters, birds singing, flowers exuding fragrance, the hills and rivers adorned with colorful trees and blossoms.
In the distance, great carp leapt from the river, transforming mid-air into dragons, soaring gracefully, while farther on the sea's surface, a colossal fish, thousands of miles long, emerged, transforming into a Golden Winged Great Roc, wings unfolding as it soared skyward.
"What place is this?" Qing Yang exclaimed in surprise.
At that moment, a few Qing Yang sheep bounded happily nearby.
"My kin!"
Qing Yang was both astonished and delighted, hurriedly chasing after them, calling, "Wait for me! Don't go!"
The Qing Yang sheep stopped abruptly, turning back in puzzlement.
One ram glanced at him and said, "You're quite unfamiliar, eh? Where do you come from?"
Qing Yang found the local accent endearing and smiled, "I come from the West Bull New Continent..."
"A stinky outsider, coming to our Pure Yang Immortal Realm to mooch. Judging by your accent, you're definitely a rural sheep. Don't bother with him, eh." The Qing Yang sheep left.
Qing Yang quickly said, "Dear kin, please don't leave! Do you know what the Immortal Elixir is?"
One kind-hearted ewe pointed with her horn and said, "Eh, it's over there. It's the treasure of the Immortal Seeding Death and Life."
Qing Yang looked over, seeing a towering Immortal Tree planted in mid-air, absorbing Immortal Energy from heaven and earth, radiating strands of Immortal Light.
A Golden Dragon coiled beneath the tree, exuding immense might, yet snoring thunderously in its slumber.
Without hesitation, Qing Yang charged straight toward the Immortal Tree.
The sheep paused to watch as the stinky outsider dashed like thunder and in an instant reached the Immortal Elixir, chomping the tree into a bald stump within a few bites, then spinning around, sprinting back towards them at full speed!
"Whoosh—"
Qing Yang zipped past, leaving the wide-eyed sheep and a just-awakened Golden Dragon behind.
