The Immortality Flower
White Open Stork Gate, Magnificent Palace Looks Incredible

At night, Xia Cheng and Chen Lie in black clothes flew between the natural forest trees to reach the white crane gate. The high wall rises in the middle of the forest like a fortress. They bounced to the ground when they wanted to set foot on the wall.

"Barrier formation!" chen Lie said.

Xia Cheng opened his millionaire soul eyes seeing that the white crane gate contained an intricate formation barrier that he did not know about.

"This formation is not simple, I am not a formation expert, " Xia Cheng said.

"Even the perception of my soul cannot penetrate it, "reply Chen Lie.

"Your Majesty, there is an intruder that crashed into the barrier formation"

"Ho, which gate did he infiltrate from? " ask King Jin.

"White stork gate"

"Open the gate, pull his soul. Let him see my palace, "command King Jin.

"Brothers understand"

Xia Cheng and Chen Lie had intended to leave after learning of the powerful barrier formation. The open gate slowly caught their attention.

"Is this an illusion? " ask Chen Lie.

The two stork statues shot out spirit ball power at them until his body was shrouded in light.

"What's this! " cry Chen Lie.

"Wait, we've been framed"." Xia Cheng said before fainting.

The white stork gate closed again. Their souls were within the circumference of King Jin's palace territory. Hundreds of kilometers from where they were located were magnificent buildings covered by white fog towering in the sky under an ancient blue formation. The white fog that covered the building disappeared until thousands of stairs appeared to the building. A magnificent gold-plated palace located on a plateau that has a side palace that is no less magnificent than the main palace.

A figure circled the mountain where the magnificent palace was located. Golden scales with hissing sounds made them look up. The head of the giant snake was above them. A golden crown that had five pieces of pomegranate-red gemstones adorned his head.

The two white herons descended from the sky to pick them both up. Their souls rose on the backs of the white storks that were carried flying into the sky towards the palace.

The giant serpent did not mind the white stork that flew past beside his head. The flapping of white stork wings split the wind around. The magnificent palace is near. They reached the magnificent palace. The palace gate opened with a sudden outgoing spiritual wind that almost blew their souls out. White smoke emerged from within accompanied by a majestic figure that only had its shadow visible.

"Young man, I've shown you what you want to see. You'd better come back and never infiltrate anyone's place without permission" he snapped his fingers until both of their souls flew away at high speed. The gate of the white stork again opened and their souls both came out through the white gate.

Xia Cheng felt that he was about to die if he could not return to his body. Chen Lie spewed out his entire stomach.

"We're leaving now! " said Xia Cheng carrying Chen Lie's body leaving the Natural Forest.

He left Chen Lie's body on the stone while he recovered himself.

"I felt death close to me as the spirit ball appeared to forcefully draw my soul. The magnificent palace was gilded even ancient snakes from ancient times who had achieved perfect evolution guarding it. The spirit of the white heron that according to legend delivered human souls to heaven was there even to deliver my soul to the palace. Is King Jin's palace in heaven? It's ridiculous that I believe it. High-level illusion technique, I must have been exposed to the illusion created by him, "inner Xia Cheng.

Xia Cheng was meditating on opening up his sea of consciousness healing his own disturbed soul with his own body. Chen Lie who was fainting woke up feeling dizzy in his head. Seeing Xia Cheng recuperate, he did the same with Xia Cheng. Over night recuperated until their souls finally stabilized.

"Where are we? " ask Chen Lie.

"The hills near the gate of the white stork. Last night you fainted not strong your soul held back the soul force of that person, " Xia Cheng replied.

"Is he King Jin? Did God help build his palace? " ask Chen Lie who denies the grandeur and opulence of King Jin's palace.

"I don't think so. He must have been either a subordinate or a chief eunuch of King Jin's trust, " Xia Cheng said.

"Of course, our mission begins today" Xia Cheng said.

"Hm.. "

The sun rose with a light that struck the royal palace. The towering tall building that was seen from a distance was golden-coloured which looked beautiful. The nine-story Changge Pavilion had a beautiful shadow. The entire capital inside the fort is clearly visible and beautiful when viewed.

They descended from the hill towards the capital back to the Changge pavilion. The capital city is bustling as usual.

"Master! The master! Come buy my sweets! "

"Moon cake! Let's buy! "

Traders peddle his merchandise early in the morning to find money to support their families. They had arrived in front of the Changge pavilion. The gatekeeper let them in. One of the people from the pavilion told him that Lu Jia called to face him.

"I'll be there, " Xia Cheng said.

Lu Jia was playing her favorite guqin. Xia Cheng entered which greeted Lu Jia's melodious tone.

"Sorry, we are late" Xia Cheng said.

"Night I didn't feel your presence, did you go outside? " ask Lu Jia.

"Yes right, we went out last night looking for our Master" Xia Cheng replied.

"Don't mess around in Wu's country. The capital belonged to the Emperor, but outside it was the reigning King Jin. I will help you find your Master, " said Lu Jia.

"We dare not act insolent. Xia Cheng and I will look for Master without involving you, " Chen Lie said.

"He did not refuse your help, but what he said was true. We will look for our own Master, " Xia Cheng said.

"Ohh, then I won't hesitate, "reply Lu Jia.

Xia Cheng and Chen Lie stood bidding to Lu Jia that they would leave today and thanked him for being the one who helped in everything.

Xia Cheng and Chen Lie passed through the first floor that was preparing for a musical arts talent show. They had arrived before the door of the Changge pavilion.

"Miss can get back on duty, we'll stay away" Xia Cheng said.

"Be careful, "reply Lu Jia.

They walked away from the Changge pavilion towards a path they did not know about. Walk slowly while observing and memorizing every street in the capital.

"The first task is to think of a way to contact the lady, " Xia Cheng said.

"Good idea, "reply Chen Lie.

The maid in the palace uniform caught Xia Cheng's attention.

"You see that? " ask Xia Cheng.

"Yes, I see. She was quite pretty as a waitress, " replied Chen Lie.

"Stupid! We can use it, " Xia Cheng said.

"I agree with you, "reply Chen Lie
