Going to the Immortal Realm, Lingxiao Palace

"So that's how it is, no wonder Patriarch Bodhi never showed up when Sun Wukong was suppressed; he was afraid of dying." Su Yu said with a wry smile.

It's not surprising that Patriarch Bodhi is afraid of death; after all, it's normal to be afraid of death.

The next day

As Su Yu was about to leave, he suddenly wondered how he could become a Celestial Official of the Heavenly Court. Could he just run to the Lingxiao Palace and ask the Jade Emperor to give him a position?

Su Yu looked at Patriarch Bodhi and said, "Master, how can I get the Jade Emperor to give me an official position?"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "With your cultivation at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, the Jade Emperor will definitely accept you if you take the initiative to apply."

Su Yu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go try."

After saying goodbye to Patriarch Bodhi and the others, Su Yu soared into the clouds and left Square Inch Mountain.

Traveling from the Human Realm to the Immortal Realm isn't as simple as just going up. There are barriers between the two realms, so to traverse them, one must go to the nearest Immortal Gate.

The Immortal Gate doesn't refer to a sect, but simply a gate. There are four Immortal Gates between the Human and Immortal Realms, located in the east, south, west, and north directions.

The Immortal Gate is guarded by an Immortal Soldier Squad, consisting of ten members with relatively low cultivation levels, because no one is foolish enough to attack the Immortal Gate.

Su Yu arrived outside the southern Immortal Gate. Seeing Su Yu, two Immortal Soldiers immediately blocked his path. The squad leader stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are? What is your purpose in going to the Immortal Realm?"

This is the standard procedure for passing through the Immortal Gate; they need to ask everyone who passes through.

"I am Su Yu, a rogue cultivator. I wish to join the Heavenly Court," Su Yu said with a slight bow.

Upon hearing that Su Yu wanted to join the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Soldiers immediately showed a warm smile. The squad leader directly hooked his arm around Su Yu's shoulder and said familiarly, "So you're Brother Su Yu. Joining our Heavenly Court is definitely the best choice. From now on, we'll all be brothers serving His Majesty. Feel free to come find us for a gathering."

Su Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Definitely, definitely."

Soon, Su Yu quickly fled this place of right and wrong.

After entering the Immortal Realm, Su Yu flew towards the Heavenly Court.

Southern Heavenly Gate

Guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate are not ordinary Immortal Soldiers, but the Growth Heavenly King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. All Four Heavenly Kings are at the Great Luo True Immortal realm, yet they are used to guard the four Heavenly Gates. This isn't because the Jade Emperor is afraid of the Heavenly Court being attacked, but because having four Great Luo True Immortals as gatekeepers is impressive.

The Augmentation Heavenly King stopped Su Yu and said, "This is an important area of the Heavenly Court. What is your business?"

Su Yu clasped his fist and said, "Heavenly King, my name is Su Yu. I'm here to seek an official position in the Heavenly Court."

The Augmentation Heavenly King said, "If you want to join our Heavenly Court, just go to where the armies are stationed. Why come to the Lingxiao Palace?"

Su Yu smiled, released his aura, and waved his hand, saying, "Do you think I should be a Celestial Soldier?"

The Augmentation Heavenly King's expression changed and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll report to His Majesty."

Su Yu withdrew his aura and nodded slightly. The Augmentation Heavenly King immediately turned and ran towards the Lingxiao Palace.

After a while, the Augmentation Heavenly King returned and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please, Your Excellency! His Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

Su Yu nodded and followed the Augmentation Heavenly King into the Southern Heavenly Gate, then arrived at the Imperial Study behind the Lingxiao Palace. In the past, when Su Yu watched the Journey to the West TV series, he always wanted to complain, because every time the scene switched to the Heavenly Court, there would be a large group of people. What were they all doing, just hanging around in the Lingxiao Palace all day?

Now that he saw that there weren't so many gods here, Su Yu felt that this was normal. Mortal emperors only hold morning court; surely the Heavenly Court doesn't have meetings all day long.

Imperial Study

The Jade Emperor sat behind his desk, watching Su Yu enter. The Augmentation Heavenly King cupped his fist at Su Yu and said, "Greetings, Jade Emperor."

Great Luo Realm Celestial Beings under his command were not required to perform the kneeling salute, but they were required to do so in the Lingxiao Palace. As for Taiyi Realm Celestial Beings, they were never required to perform the kneeling salute at any time.

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Augmentation, you may return."

"Yes." The Augmentation Heavenly King nodded and then left the Imperial Study.

The Jade Emperor looked at Su Yu and asked, "You are called Su Yu? You wish to seek an official position in the Heavenly Court?"

Su Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

"I can't say I remember the names of all the Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm, but I have an impression of them all. Yet, I have never seen you before. Why is that?" the Jade Emperor asked.

Su Yu explained, "I only came up from the Human Realm today. It's normal that you don't recognize me."

The Jade Emperor heard Su Yu address him as 'you' and smiled, saying, "It has been a long time since someone has spoken to me in such a tone. Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

"I'm not afraid." Su Yu said indifferently.

He was a Dominator, how could he be afraid of a small Jade Emperor in the myriad worlds? Moreover, even if Su Yu didn't unlock the seal, using the Infinity Gauntlet for self-protection would not be a problem at all.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've met such a spirited young man. Tell me, what kind of official do you want to be?" the Jade Emperor said with a smile.

Su Yu said, "Of course, a military official."

"Alright, come to the Lingxiao Palace for the morning court tomorrow. At that time, I will grant you an official position. For now, go and have Augmentation help you find a place to stay," the Jade Emperor said.

Su Yu nodded and said, "Farewell."

After speaking, Su Yu turned and left.

After Su Yu left, the Jade Emperor didn't know what he was thinking. The heart of an emperor was the most difficult to fathom. Su Yu's rudeness to him just now was not because he admired Su Yu, but because he couldn't figure out Su Yu's origins, which made him somewhat wary of Su Yu. After all, there were only a handful of people he couldn't see through, either because the other party was powerful or because the other party had a powerful background.

After Su Yu left, he didn't go to find the Augmentation Heavenly King, but instead wandered around the Immortal Realm on his own.

In the evening, Su Yu directly used the Time Stone to speed up the flow of time. After a moment, it was the next day. Early the next morning, Su Yu arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, and then some Celestial Beings came one after another. Seeing a person who had suddenly appeared, they were all a little puzzled.

Before long, the Jade Emperor arrived and then said, "Where is Su Yu?"

Su Yu stepped forward and cupped his fist, saying, "Here."

Countless people frowned as they looked at Su Yu. A yellow-robed Taoist shouted, "Bold! The Jade Emperor is calling you, why don't you kneel and listen!"

Su Yu sneered and said, "I, Su Yu, have never knelt before anyone, and I won't now, and I won't in the future!"

"Boy, this is the Heavenly Court, not your home. You think you can just not kneel if you don't want to?" that person continued to say.

Su Yu smiled disdainfully and said, "May I ask for your name?"

The old man waved his horsetail whisk and said, "This humble Taoist's dharma name is Huanglong Zhenren, Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm!"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that someone from the Chan Sect would appear here.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Only Great Luo Golden Immortal? You old man haven't been indulging in pleasure all day, have you?"

"You! You ignorant child, do you know the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal! This old man only used five thousand years to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm!" Huanglong Zhenren said with considerable confidence.

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Pfft, I'm sorry, I take back what I just said. It's definitely not that you spend all day indulging in pleasure;
