The True Gods || Kim Taehyung ||

Journey to the Heavenly Palace

"LeeNari, you are a high deity of the Immortal Realm. No matter what father ordered you to do, you don't need to be afraid. No matter how bad it is, Qingchi Palace can still protect you."

Nari looked at Ha-eun with a complex expression as she walked away. After a while, she stroked her chin, remembering the words that High God Yoongi said before he left the palace and suddenly understood.

"Nari, Ha-eun has lived in Qingchi Palace since she was young. She is indifferent and never takes one step out of the palace, but she does protect her allies. If there is a day when you need her, just tell her."

High God Yoongi had already expected that she would find trouble with those people sooner or later, so he would tell her this.

Standing next to Huajing Pond, Nari's eyes showed some relief. She couldn't help but smile and say in a low voice, "It's just helping me, why say it so righteously. It's really awkward."

High Deity Hyun-jung's immortal residence was in Daze Mountain on the coast of the Eastern Sea. A few days before the birthday banquet, it was already full of immortals.

High Deity Jung-hee selected an alternate gift and arrived a day before the birthday banquet. Looking at the crowd of immortals, he couldn't help but smile. The more immortals there were, the more attention he would get at the birthday banquet tomorrow.

At the same time, Nari was looking angrily at the lazy Ha-eun who was sitting cross-legged on an auspicious cloud. Her expression was so miserable that she looked heartbroken, "I normally tell you to practice your magic in Qingchi Palace but you just won't. Now, you can't even move an auspicious cloud. If those immortals see you, they'll laugh at you for sure!"

Ha-eun waved her hand, saying indifferently, "That doesn't matter. I'm a high god, and it's enough with you by my side. Who in the Three Realms doesn't know that I'll fall when the wind blows? And besides, who would dare make me, a high god, demonstrate driving a cloud?"

Nari was choked by her bitter words, and she flicked her sleeves helplessly, no longer looking at Ha-eun who was looking at her with bright eyes.

"Remember, Hyun-jung is, after all, a highly respected old high deity. He has a lot of disciples and grand disciples under him. Don't keep your rude expression on when we arrive. Otherwise, even if you are being reasonable, it will sound unreasonable." Ha-eun told Nari unhurriedly. When she saw her stiff face, she knew it was useless to say more, so she simply squinted and yawned.

Forget it, no matter how much trouble she would cause, she won't let Ha-eun get the short end of the stick.

She couldn't help but think that in a certain way, this master and servant relationship had an effect that would stun people. One had strength while the other had a strong backing.

What the Mortal Realm said about relying on useful people in the village was referring to people like Ha-eun.

Directing the cloud slowly the entire way, the two finally arrived at the bottom of Daze Mountain on the night before the birthday banquet. It was already deep into the night, and although there were colourful lights in front of the immortal mansion, there was not even an immortal deity to greet them besides a little child who sat at the door yawning and his eyes drooping.

One was an evil god who had been dormant in Qingchi Palace for thousands of years, and the other was only heard of in the past thousands of years, a high god who had never appeared in public before. Not just this little immortal child, even if there was an immortal deity with good eyes, they would probably not be able to recognize them either. When the two were halfway up the mountain, the immortal child who was guarding the door wasn't even willing to greet them.

With High Deity Hyun-jung's reputation, there have been many gods who pandered to the influential by flattery to gain benefits and make friends. To reduce the embarrassment for these immortal deities, Baek-Hyun, High Deity Hyun-jung's second disciple, had specially arranged somewhere for them to stay at the foot of the mountain. This news was known by most immortals when the invitations were sent out, so the immortals who did not receive an invitation all went to the foot of the mountain.

Of course, known by most did not mean that the two standing in front of the entrance knew. When they were in front of the immortal mansion in the middle of the night, waiting for someone to receive them, they felt a little desolate.

Seeing that no one had come out to receive them, Nari's eyes suddenly became alert, and she pulled Ha-eun towards her, preparing to enter.

The immortal child who was guarding the door saw the two were walking towards him. He was also a little agitated, afraid to be accused of not looking after his job properly. He said respectfully but hurriedly, "May I know which high deity you are? Do you have an invitation?"

The voice was soft and crisp and held a bit of trepidation and tenderness. Nari was a soft-hearted person, and a lot of her anger dissipated immediately, but she pretended and said, "Of course I have an invitation..."

She said half of the words when her robe was pulled by the person behind her. She looked back to see Ha-eun shaking her head, her normally light expression carrying embarrassment, "Nari ...I forgot to tell Chan Song to fetch the invitation..."

Nari froze, rolled her eyes, and said, "You really have a good memory...it's alright, just say your name..."

The two of them were whispered, but the immortal child had heard a few muffled sentences. Seeing that the two hadn't moved, he rolled his eyes and said rudely, "Immortal deities, my high deity has prepared a living place for guests at the foot of the mountain. You can go there now."

Nari froze. She had always lived in Qingchi Palace since leaving Yuanling Swamp, so she did not know much more about current world events than Ha-eun. When she heard the immortal child's words, she thought that all the guests were staying at the foot of the mountain, so she didn't get wordy and pulled Ha-eun to ride on the cloud, flying down the mountain.

Only Ha-eun squinted her eyes. She looked at the little immortal children from the cloud, which made him cower in cold sweat.

In the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, a few huts were built, and the design was artistic. Nari randomly picked a hut and went in to meditate. Ha-eun had slept on the cloud the whole day and was full of energy. Seeing Nari close her eyes, she left a note and went out for a stroll.

Ha-eun left the bamboo cottage as she felt a little stuffy. The mist here was full of immortal aura, and it wasn't any less here than in Qingchi Palace. But this place was close to the Eastern Sea, and there almost ten thousand creatures living in the sea that relied on the immortal aura on Da'ze Mountain. As this place was busy, it shouldn't be so full of aura, also...the aura gave Ha-eun an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Ha-eun did not have strong spiritual powers, but she had a very good vision. Thinking that there must be something strange in Da'ze Mountain, she started to slowly walk towards the back mountain with suspicion.
