"The realm was about to see more turmoil. Let us return and ask our teacher what we should do next."

Having heard Huang Yan's words, A Lu glanced at Jin Ling beside her and made the suggestion.

Jin Ling, however, looked toward the Western Ocean and frowned. "I'll go to the Western Ocean to handle some matters first. You should return ahead of me."

Without waiting for A Lu's reply, a curtain of night appeared beneath Jin Ling's feet and enveloped her. Specks of starlight revolved within it, and following the trajectories of the stars, she slipped into the void and vanished before A Lu's eyes.

A Lu frowned, recited the name of the Upper Clear Lingbao Heavenly King, and, borrowing Yu Chen's power, traveled through the dream world to the Shangqing Lingbao Daoist Field.

"Teacher!" A Lu bowed to Yu Chen and quietly relayed what Heavenly Consort had said.

"If Heavenly Consort truly intends to place divine authority above royal authority, how should we respond?"

Yu Chen smiled at this. "Since when did you think divine authority in the Central Plains was not above royal authority? What is the current sovereign called? Besides, the authority possessed by the present court should be called imperial authority, not royal authority. Let me ask you: who do you think royal authority in today's Central Plains ought to belong to?"

"The paths of immortals and Buddhas!"

As a creation of Earth Mother, A Lu might have lacked in certain respects, but her capacity to learn was not weak. With Yu Chen's instruction, her store of knowledge was sufficient as well. In this world of the Nine-Rank Position system, she had condensed a Fourth-Rank Position derived from the Great Sun Tathagata. Having now received this guidance, she naturally understood the crux of the matter.
