Ming Yue alongside with his companions Shu Ren and Ying Xi as they known for being the Celestial Guards of the Heavenly Realm. They bowed as well, but unlike the other deities, they stood up behind Xian Yu- the Gods of the Four Symbols.
The Emperor withdraw his hand, and said "Today, We called all of your presence here just to announce that the Path of Truth's seal were broken."

"How could be that possible Your Majesty? No one can break, the Path of Truth, even the Demon Queen herself." One of the Deities asked.
The Emperor maintained his demeanor aura, answered him "We don't know yet, the real cause of this odd incident, but We know for sure that this is the Demon Realm's doing."
"Your Majesty, pardon for this mere servant recklessness earlier, but if the Demon Clan has some involvement with this incident. Let me further investigate to the Mortal Realm." Xian Yu said. He's also one of the higher-ups and the leader of Four Constellation or Symbols. He has silver colored eyes, good-looking and innocent face, but unlike his physical appearance his behaviour somewhat different.
"Leader Yu, unfortunately We couldn't grant your request. The Demon's power can sense your arrival if you go to the Mortal World." Ming Yue saw Xian Yu's unhappy face after hearing the Emperor, behind that mask he can sense it. Then, he turned his face and looked at the Jade Emperor, he didn't expected that Emperor looked back.
"His Majesty, he looked at me isn't it? But why?" He thought. Confused for his thoughts, the Emperor said "But, We will summon someone, who can help us to find the Eight Immortals."

"Your Majesty, who is that Celestial being? May I know? "One of the Gods asked--"Jiao Xie".
The commotion inside the main hall starts as the Gods and Goddesses looking who's that Emperor referred. All of those eyes looked at Ming Yue, who were shocked and confused at the same time.
"Y-your M-Majesty? But this one is only a mere guard from your palace."
"What? Did you say that We can't summon someone? Do you want defy your Emperor?"
"No-- Your Majesty, pardon me for my rudeness." Hong Zhu said. One of the Goddesses. She was a beauty and her skin was pale, but her eyes were cold, no one couldn't see her face under the white veil covered.
Yi Xing, asked "Your Majesty, if MingYue will find the Eight Immortals, can I go with him?"
The Emperor glanced his eyes to Yi Xing, and replied him "Only MingYue alone can investigate, and that's final." Yi Xing wanted to asked again but Shu Ren stopped him.
MingYue bowed his knees to the Emperor, "I'm only a celestial why did His Majesty summoned me? You can choose someone else but why this mere servant of yours?
"What? Did MingYue can't go to his first mission?"
"Your Majesty, but--"
Stood up on his chair, the Emperor asked to all of his guests. "Did someone disagree with Our decision?"
All of them, can't defy the Emperor after all. Maintained themselves as sign for they are all, agreed with the decision.
"MingYue, We as the ruler from Heavenly Realm bestow my permission to you, find the legendary Eight Immortals in the Mortal Realm."

Yi Xing, "A-Yue, are you alright?" MingYue looked to him, and said "How can I be okay, if my heart starts to keep troubling me. Brother don't worry about me, gladly accepted his mission. I'm really happy that finally I'll go to the another Realm."
"But A-yue this is not an easy task, like we did in the past."
"Brother Yue, he's right." Shu Ren said.
"If this is my destiny, then let it be. After all His Majesty, choose me and no one can defy or even disagree after all." MingYue was right after what happened in the main hall no can disagree with the Emperor. He bowed to his companions, behind them a woman came and called him; "MingYue it's time for your departure."
Yi Xing, "A-Yue here." He gave his jade necklace to MingYue. MingYue took the necklace. "A-Yue be careful, don't worry we will talk to His Majesty."
"Thank you Brother Xing." The light from the pathway appeared and also the path to the another Realm.
