Chapter 666: Chapter 377: Tour, Mount Li, and a Chance Encounter (Part 2)
Li Shan, Celestial Pillar Mountain fortress, accompanied by a teleportation beam soaring into the sky, a flying ship appeared on the teleportation platform out of thin air.
Su Yu stood atop the ship gazing at the fortress, comparing it with the Celestial Pillar Mountain in the Cyan Immortal Domain, discovering that the Li Shan’s Celestial Pillar Mountain is much larger in scale than the one in Cyan Immortal Domain.
Indeed, in the Celestial Court’s stations across the three realms, it’s uniformly called Celestial Pillar Mountain fortress.
However, despite being larger, the Li Shan’s Celestial Pillar Mountain is far less bustling since there are no players here; aside from patrolling celestial soldiers, most inhabitants are local cultivators.
The flying ship navigated out from the teleportation platform, immediately met by another flying ship approaching, bearing two True Immortals. As the two ships neared, the True Immortal on the left smiled and cupped his hands, saying:
"I am unsure which Patrolling Immortal Envoy has graced us with their presence; my apologies for not welcoming you from afar."
Su Yu also cupped his hands, saying:
"Su Yu."
"So it is Immortal Envoy Su Yu; I am the Welcoming Envoy of Li Shan fortress. The Guardian Envoy has ordered that we should fulfill our hosts’ duties."
Although Su Yu missed Qingchan greatly, he knew he couldn’t rush things, smiling he responded:
"The Guardian Envoy is too courteous."
"Please!"
"Please!"
The flying ship led the way, stopping at Celestial Pillar Mountain.
It’s quite simple, even the Celestial Court has its share of social conventions.
A Guardian Envoy oversees a location and is subject to performance evaluations; if issues frequently arise under their jurisdiction, their ratings won’t be high.
Moreover, the work logs of the Patrolling Immortal Envoys are excerpted as references for performance evaluations; every hundred years, the Patrolling Envoy reports back to the Celestial Court for duty review, and if the work logs contain problems, it will surely impact their evaluation scores.
Thus, each time a Patrolling Immortal Envoy tours the lower realms, they’ll briefly stop at Celestial Pillar Mountain and present some gifts on their way.
This is not to say it’s bribery. The work logs serve merely as references and are not a decisive factor.
It’s simply part of normal social interactions and connections; if handled well, the work logs won’t be written unfavorably.
After all, language is profound and versatile; the addition or omission of a few words can render the same sentence different in impression.
Thus, they simply treated him to a meal and handed over a red packet containing 1 celestial crystal.
A so-called celestial crystal is the common currency within the Celestial Court, compressed from pure innate spiritual power, containing a certain special force; typically, a celestial soldier of the celestial immortal rank refining one could almost assuredly rise one level.
An ordinary celestial soldier’s salary for 10 years is 1 celestial crystal.
Su Yu, a ninth-grade Traveling Immortal Envoy, has an annual salary of 3 celestial crystals; getting a red packet equates to one-third of his yearly salary.
Waste not, want not; Su Yu accepted it without hesitation.
As host and guest rejoiced together, Su Yu added the Welcoming Envoy as a friend.
It’s worth noting that celestial crystals are merely higher-grade currency, not implying celestial coins cannot be used. Celestial coins are equally usable within the Celestial Court; typically, 1 celestial crystal can exchange for 100,000 celestial coins.
Su Yu currently has less than fifty thousand celestial coins, not enough to exchange for one celestial crystal.
But it does not mean he is without wealth; he simply does not have a need in this regard at the moment. Should there be a need, he could readily sell a large number of Purple Mansion Heaven Essence Pills, having accumulated over a million throughout the years; they could effortlessly fetch tens of millions of celestial coins, equivalent to hundreds of celestial crystals.
Su Yu did not depart immediately but formally applied for the use of Celestial Pillar Mountain’s Tribulation Crossing Platform.
The four daughters of Xuanyue are set to cross their tribulations, and conveniently, the Tribulation Crossing Platform is here, allowing them to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation in this locale.
The application swiftly passed, and they are scheduled for the fourth day.
Firstly, Xuanyue crosses the tribulation, revealing her true form, wielding the innate Xuanyue banner while enduring the terrifying tribulation thunderstorm’s onslaught without flinching.
In less than ten minutes, the pervasive tribulation thunder converges into a celestial, earth-shattering thunder column spanning heaven and earth, fragmenting and drawing down life-giving rain from the heavens.
Unexpected incidents were impossible; an innate demon god wielding a defensive innate spiritual treasure would certainly pass the Golden Immortal Tribulation before then.

The reward of the power of Heavenly Dao after crossing the tribulation is entirely infused into the innate Xuanyue banner, which did not enhance the innate spiritual treasure but indeed expanded its essence.
After the next crossing of the Profound Immortal Tribulation, if the reward of the power of Heavenly Dao continues to be entirely infused into the innate Xuanyue banner, and with further elevation of the Chaos Supreme Orb’s quality, their accompanying innate spiritual treasures may rise to mid-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Following Xuanyue, Chixiao crosses the tribulation, then Kongming, and finally Hanyuan.
Their choices are the same: using the power of Heavenly Dao to strengthen their innate spiritual treasures.
Whether now or later, the power of Heavenly Dao obtained from crossing tribulations will always be used to strengthen their innate spiritual treasures.
According to Su Yu’s estimate, once they ascend to Golden Immortals, and the Chaos Supreme Orb’s quality advances two more grades, their intrinsic spiritual treasures can upgrade to top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
If they manage to attain the Great Luo rank, and the Chaos Supreme Orb’s recovery to a complete Chaos Supreme Treasure transmits its essence, their intrinsic spiritual treasures might advance to top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
At that point, few beneath the rank of Saint could possibly challenge them.
After the four crossed the tribulation, they promptly returned inside the Chaos Supreme Orb for continuous cultivation.
Their sole task now is cultivation, growing as rapidly as possible.
After the four crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, Su Yu emerged from Celestial Pillar Mountain, consulted the map slightly, then commanded the flying ship to reorient towards a specific direction.
