Shi Sheng's thoughts directly appeared in Shi Feiyang's mind, and in an instant, Shi Feiyang's long-held worries were finally relieved.

Successfully establishing communication between the Immortal Realm and the Mortal World using the Heavenly Heart Ring is considered completely successful!

Shi Feiyang cautiously assessed whether it might be a Heavenly Demon Illusion, perhaps fabricated by a Demon or an enemy to deceive him.

There was also the possibility that someone from Heaven might have discovered Shi Sheng's intentions, captured him, and was using this method to communicate with Shi Feiyang on purpose.

In any case, Shi Feiyang eliminated each possibility one by one, finally confirming that it was indeed Shi Sheng communicating with him.

Shi Sheng told him that after arriving in the Immortal Realm, they were led by an appointed Immortal Official, passed through the South Heavenly Gate, and then separated.

Shi Sheng initially went to pay respects to the Green Emperor, followed by an audience with the Heavenly God. He initially thought he would see Xiong Man-nang at the Heavenly God's place, but later learned that Xiong Man-nang went to pay respects to the White Emperor instead, and did not meet the Heavenly God.

Shi Sheng's official position was bestowed by the Heavenly God, who treated him kindly, gifting him Golden Flowers, Imperial Wine, Pan Peaches, a Jade Belt, and asked which official position he desired.

Shi Sheng expressed his scholarly nature and wished to secure a post at the Langhuan Book Library.

Upon hearing this, Shi Feiyang felt deeply moved. He had never suggested Shi Sheng go to the Langhuan Book Library, as he was unfamiliar with Upper Realm affairs. If any mistake occurred, violating heavenly rules, it would ruin Shi Sheng. Shi Feiyang made no requests, only asking Shi Sheng to maintain contact, yet Shi Sheng understood his perpetual regret at not fully comprehending the Heavenly Gang 36 Transformations, hence proactively proposed working at Langhuan Book Library.

The Heavenly God immediately bestowed upon him a golden jade scroll, appointing him as the master of the Langhuan Book Library.

The Langhuan Book Library is vast, with thousands of managers, and over a hundred chiefs; Shi Sheng became one of them.

The position of chief is quite significant; he has a separate office within the library, managing one of the book collections, with twelve managers and eighty-eight Heavenly Soldiers under his command.

Additionally, he was allocated a detached residence with spacious grounds, including continuous artificial hills and a small lake.

The former owner was reportedly a Star Official, who committed a heavenly crime and was recently sent to the Immortal Slaying Stage for execution...

Initially, Shi Sheng dared not act recklessly, slowly acquainting himself with the situation, eventually locating his mother Lu Rongbo, then together visiting True Master Jile...

True Master Jile achieved Body Ascension, reaching Golden Immortal status, was recruited by the Green Emperor to work under him.

True Master Jile was delighted to see him, inquiring about Shi Feiyang and gifted him a Jade Ruler.

Lu Rongbo's status was relatively lower than theirs, akin to an ordinary Immortal Fairy, including Xiong Man-nang later on. They did not meet the Heavenly God, only paid respects to the White Emperor, who then conferred titles upon them.

Shi Sheng wished to bring Lu Rongbo to his residence for care but was deterred by Lu Rongbo.

"We were only mother and son for one lifetime. After cultivation, even ten or hundred lifetimes are ordinary; upon closer inspection, there will always be traces of kinship. If we indulge in favoritism, won't it create chaos? Hence, heavenly rules restrain such actions." Lu Rongbo further informed him that Immortals possess immense divine skills, and there is no dust between heaven and earth. Their tasks are light, typically only busy during grand events held over many years, as heavenly time is extremely prolonged so there is often little work, each focused on cultivation and improvement, eventually upgrading their rank.

Through Shi Sheng's words, Shi Feiyang gained much news about the Immortal Realm.

Shi Sheng was merely simple-minded and straightforward, yet inherently clever, astutely knowing Shi Feiyang's concerns, deliberately collecting several major scoops.

The first scoop: Ziwei Star is changing position, the thirteen-thousand-year reign of the Ziwei Great Emperor is due for replacement. The previous incumbent wishes to continue service, arranging tribulations in the Mortal World to prepare for returning to Heaven and continuing his tenure.

With his Jianghu status, divine skills, essentially no one can contest him, though the Green Emperor possesses the capability. These years he has independently established a Pure Land in Heaven, responding to distress calls, accumulating merit across Heavenly and Myriads of Worlds, poised to ascend the throne upon Ziwei Great Emperor's departure.

The second scoop: According to heavenly rules, gods must not indulge in emotions, especially forbidden from having children. Heavenly Master Qiu reported that the Green Emperor once harbored worldly feelings, fathering a son, secretly demoting him to the Human World out of fear of discovery, violating heavenly rules, lacking virtue...

The Green Emperor, aware of the futility of concealment, candidly admitted, clarifying that the child was an epiphany formed during tribulations in a certain world many millions of years ago, intended to resolve karmic ties, allowing this lifetime as his child, but he harbors no favoritism and demoted him to the Lower Realm upon maturity, without any prejudice or contact over these years.

Currently, the "North Emperor Sect" and "Green Emperor Sect" are mutually accusing, their conflict growing increasingly intense.

Shi Feiyang listened intently, finding it indeed aligns closely with his previous deductions and speculations.

The Dharma Decline Era, Spiritual Energy depletion, correlates with Ziwei Star's transition, triggering a series of reactions...

The Immortal Realm and the Mortal World constitute two distinct worlds, and the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm is not merely this world's Immortal Realm, but rather the Immortal Realm of numerous worlds, with millions of worlds eventually ascending there. The Heavenly God reigns as master of Heavenly and Myriads of Worlds.

The so-called Spiritual Space Immortal Realm is formed by the gathering of the nine heavens' pure spirit qi from the myriad worlds, thus it is vast and boundless, with celestial soil extremely light and ethereal.

The bodies of beings in the Lower Realm are heavy and dull, thus they can't ascend unless they cultivate into Yang Gods. This is not an artificially set condition, but a naturally formed environment.

Therefore, beings below must undergo cultivation to make their "constitution" suitable for the Immortal Realm. Similarly, it is challenging for immortals from the Immortal Realm to descend because their "constitution" is ill-suited for the lower realms; upon descending, they transform from Heavenly Immortal to Earth Immortal, triggering heavenly tribulations. Getting too much of the mortal smoke will make their bodies heavy and dull, rendering them unable to return without cultivation anew.

There are only two ways for heavenly immortals to descend: one is being banished, like the Son of the Green Emperor, the Giant Wood God, and those Fallen Immortals of ancient times. The other is visiting places at the junction of the two realms, like the Lingjiao Immortal Mansion at the apex of Tianpeng Mountain and Falling God Square at Ji Nan's Heiga Mountain, where they can come down briefly for tea and leisure for a few days, but must hurry back, or they'll trigger heavenly tribulations.

Of course, heavenly immortals are not particularly interested in the mortal world. After all, the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm connects countless mortal worlds, like Shi Feiyang's Shushan World, which is just one of the myriad worlds governed by the Heavenly God. The earth-shattering tribulations below are, to them, just like hosting a banquet.

Through Shi Sheng's words, Shi Feiyang gained at least a basic understanding of the Heaven, and indeed the entire constitution of the heavenly worlds.

He advised Shi Sheng to focus on his work above, temporarily not to contemplate other matters, and to fulfill his responsibilities well...

Shi Sheng immediately grasped his meaning. Their communication between the two realms was violating heavenly laws, and Shi Sheng had just ascended, not even warmed his seat of Langhuan's steward, lest anyone was monitoring him. In Heaven, even the lowest are Heavenly Immortals; there are many Golden Immortals, along with various Star Monarchs and Emperors. Should they be watched, Shi Sheng's life might be at risk.

The master and disciple exchanged thoughts at length, finally severing the sensing.

Shi Feiyang acquired a clearer understanding of the Immortal Realm. Those Eight Diagrams were secondary; the focus was on grasping the potential of Outer Heaven Divine Mountain's ascension.

He wanted to return Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to Heaven. This endeavor faced many obstacles, primarily two:

The first is the heaviness and dullness of the Lower Realm. Despite the presence of several Heavenly Immortals, most are formed of the Lower Realm's dull energy and yin material, rendering ascension nearly impossible...

After the world's creation, pure qi ascended and formed Heaven, while dull energy descended and shaped Earth. Earthly things are too heavy to rise to Heaven.

The second is the constraint of heavenly laws. If the Emperor employs mana, they can bring earthly entities upward, like taking the primordial spirit soul of a person or a demon beast.

Ordinary people's primordial spirits are a blend of yin-yang and would be harmed within the heavenly soil condensed by nine heavens' light spirit qi, but the Emperor has mana and merit to offer protection.

However, this violates heavenly laws — whoever does it must ascend the Immortal Slaying Stage!

Shi Feiyang's intention to bring so many Earth Immortals, Independent Immortals, mortals, demons, giant beasts from Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to the heavens, does it count as violating heavenly laws?

He's not a divine official from Heaven, unaware of the specific heavenly laws, thus naturally uninhibited.

But will heavenly immortals allow it?

Perhaps... I could occupy a small corner in Heaven, becoming a lord over various regions?

Shi Feiyang was startled by this thought, with Golden Immortals everywhere in Heaven, Heavenly Immortals common as dogs; does he have the strength to occupy a territory?

Hmm, there's no need to see them as overly formidable. For example, Pit Empty Ancestor is an Earth Immortal, but his mana far surpasses Lu Rongbo, the Heavenly Immortal. Even Shi Sheng, a Yang God Heavenly Immortal, in a life and death duel, their outcomes are evenly matched.

The Son of the Green Emperor was banished to the Lower Realm, landing at the peak of Eastern Extreme Great Wilderness Mountain's Wuzhong Ridge. With a domineering nature, seeing many loose cultivators establishing grottos and cultivating independently, he took distaste and began expelling them, driving away other Independent Immortals and Earth Immortals. Eventually, only the Kuzhu Elder remained; even after three duels, he couldn't achieve overwhelming victory. Amidst offense and defense, though the Son of the Green Emperor firmly held the upper hand, he couldn't do away with Kuzhu Elder, allowing him to continue on Wuzhong Ridge.

As for Golden Immortals, I have seen quite a few; why fear them!

Upon pondering this, Shi Feiyang felt much more confident.

Ultimately, he decided to proceed with the original plan:

The best strategy: bring Outer Heaven Divine Mountain in its entirety to ascend into the Immortal Realm, which is most challenging.

The middle strategy: take Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to other heavenly worlds. But most other worlds are mortal worlds. Even those like Shushan, where mortals and sages coexist, would have a heavenly realm. He would have to find one without a heavenly realm, likely taking a risk by choosing a demon realm. Create a new order amid turmoil!

The lowest strategy: develop Outer Heaven Divine Mountain into an independent grotto heaven world, gather everyone inside to avoid the End of Dharma Era. But there's risk; if the Dharma Decline Era arrives, spiritual energy is exhausted, and these small grotto heavens collapse and can't hold, it would be a dead end.

I should prepare multiple options, proceed on three legs, with upper, middle, and lower strategies, whichever succeeds, employ that one!
