Before coming out, Jiang Lin had no idea that what the King of Hell called a business trip was actually to the Heavenly Palace.
Fortunately, he recalled the memories from the life of 'Jiang Lin' and confirmed the existence of the Heavenly Palace, so he paid attention to gathering relevant information.
He then discovered that in terms of information, the methods in the heavens were similar to those in the underworld.
Although there were disseminators of knowledge, people's understanding of the heavens was limited to storybooks and television dramas.
Constantly circulated and compiled.
Truly effective and credible information was extremely scarce.
Even if you knew someone from the underworld's intelligence division, if something was not to be revealed, they would not say an extra word.
This was because the time was not right, and the strength was not sufficient.
In short,
His understanding of the Heavenly Palace was mostly from the memories of the life of 'Jiang Lin'.
"Are there really Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit in the Guanghan Palace?"
"Does Nezha really have a feud with the Dragon Clan?"
"Did Erlang Shen really keep a Howling Celestial Dog? Did Sun Wukong really cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"
Recalling the stories of the immortals he had heard, Jiang Lin became a little interested.
When 'Jiang Lin' was alive, the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity were still in an unperfected and even somewhat chaotic stage.
At that time, there were not so many palaces and interesting stories.
Things like Chang'e flying to the moon, Nezha stirring up the sea, the Seven Fairies... and so on, should have appeared later.
At least, Jiang Lin had never heard of them when he was in the Heavenly Palace.
The live stream orb seemed to sense something and wanted to jump out, but he pressed it back down.
This was the Heavenly Palace, where great deities gathered.
It was neither related to underworld culture nor his home turf.
Moreover,
Jiang Lin suspected that there were beings here who could detect the existence of the live stream orb.
In his memory, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Palace had left a deep impression on him.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest person known to him in the world.
Broadcasting live rashly was too risky.
The losses would outweigh the gains, and there was no need for it.
"Quick, this way, the Immortal Lord is waiting."
Beside him, a group of celestial maidens carrying baskets flew past in a hurry.
Their appearances were pure and beautiful, their robes fluttering.
They formed a picturesque scene with the surrounding scenery.
Jiang Lin withdrew his thoughts and, following the layout of the Heavenly Palace as described by Shen Luo, strode towards the nearest palace.
He wondered what changes had occurred in the Heavenly Palace over the years.
...
"Old man, are we still brothers? Help me take a look!"
"Marshal Tian Peng, this really won't do..."
The Yue Lao Palace, also known as the Xiang Huo Lin Palace.
Before Jiang Lin even got close, he saw two figures struggling with something at the palace entrance from afar.
One was wearing armor and a cape, with a majestic bearing.
Although his face could not be seen, judging by his voice, it should be a young face.
The other was wearing a red outer robe and had a head full of white hair.
Although his appearance was old, he exuded an aura of immortal grace.
Tian Peng peered into the Yue Lao Palace, trying to sneak in several times, but was stopped by Yue Lao.
Inside the palace,
Two young attendants, with a touch of red on their foreheads, quickly closed the door, covering up the marriage threads filling the room.
These marriage threads connected beating hearts and unique souls.
They either glowed, dimmed, or flickered.
Woven together, they resembled a net.
Intertwined, chaotic.
Yet, they possessed a strange beauty.
Seeing the main door closed, the immortal-looking Yue Lao visibly relaxed.
He straightened his posture and stroked his long white beard.
His voice softened: "Marshal Tian Peng, one truly cannot randomly tie emotional threads."
"I didn't ask you to tie threads, I just want you to look at Chang'e's emotional thread."
Tian Peng frowned, "We were fine two days ago before I went on my business trip. Why can't I see her when I return?"
Could it be that someone interfered between him and Chang'e while he was away?
Yue Lao stroked his beard, looking profound:
"Heaven's secrets... cannot be revealed. Everything, ultimately, depends on one's own heart."
"What heavenly secrets? We are all in the heavens, and you're still talking about heavenly secrets!"
Tian Peng was not buying it and looked for an opening to head into the Yue Lao Palace.
"Hey, hey, hey! Marshal Tian Peng, Marshal Tian Peng!"
Yue Lao stepped forward repeatedly to stop him, anxiously saying, "My palace is filled with the marriage threads of mortals, and the immortals of the Heavenly Palace... are not under my jurisdiction."
"Old man, don't lie to me. Everyone knows that your Yue Lao Palace has a treasure that can investigate all marriages?"
"Tian Peng!"
Seeing Tian Peng striding towards the Yue Lao Palace, Yue Lao stood rooted to the spot and snorted coldly.
This sound contained divine power, and a pressure spread out from him.
His face was no longer smiling; he scowled and shouted,
"Since this Yue Lao Palace was bestowed upon me, I am the one in charge! If I say you can't look, you can't look!"
"If you can't see Chang'e, instead of reflecting on your own issues, what good does it do to come to me?"
Tian Peng saw that he seemed genuinely angry and paused, "Old man, you..."
"If I were you, with this much time, I might as well inquire about Chang'e's recent situation."
Yue Lao turned and walked back into the Yue Lao Palace without even looking at him, "Serves you right for being single!"
Tian Peng scratched his head, "Why the personal attack..."
Aren't you single too, old man.
"Chang'e's recent situation..."
He pondered for a moment, turned, and flew towards the Immortal Maidens' Palace.
...
"So Yue Lao only manages marriages in the mortal realm..."
No wonder there are so many single people in heaven and on earth.
Seeing Tian Peng leave, Jiang Lin murmured, "So Tian Peng really likes Chang'e."
At this moment, he suddenly understood the joy of viewers enjoying gossip.
Recalling the layout of the Heavenly Palace as described by Shen Luo, and passing two more palaces, should it be the Guanghan Palace?
After the area outside the Yue Lao Palace became quiet again.
Two young attendants cautiously poked their heads out and looked outside.
"Did he leave?" Yue Lao asked in a low voice.
"He left," the attendant replied softly.
"That's good..." Yue Lao muttered, then looked back at the crisscrossing marriage threads filling the room.
"There are so many marriages in the mortal realm, and they're already a mess. How could I have the energy to manage the affairs of you immortals?"
It seemed he still needed to throw a tantrum from time to time.
