Immortal Realm.
Heavenly Palace, thirty-six celestial layers.
Clouds and rosy mists entwined with the Lake of Stars, a rainbow bridge spanning across, the majestic heavenly court partly concealed within the clouds—seemingly within reach like a mirage, yet distant on the horizon.
Golden light shone like the bright moon. Buddha Gu Zongchen set foot atop the clouds, seeking an audience with the Great Heavenly Monarch, the Heavenly Emperor. In less than a moment, the Ten Thousand Dharma Masters came to greet him.
Gu Zongchen found nothing unusual in this reception. Since the Heavenly Emperor transcended the Supreme Chaos Realm, stepping out of the river of time, this river might well be said to have been clarified by the Heavenly Emperor. Diving every three days and drowning every five days, it's unknown where it has been flushed to now.
