Through Princess Iron Fan's words, Zhou Xingdou also learned about the changes in the women of the Punishment Thunder Palace since he went to the Tai Shi Dao Domain.

First and foremost is Qiu Yu. Through various roles and by cultivating advanced techniques and the True Dragon Body Forging Method, she made rapid progress in just one month.

Now, not only has he broken through the meridians, but he has also shed his mortal body and entered the realm of the Divine Treasure True Person.

Meanwhile, Li Xiuru and her daughter Liu Yanran, who primarily practiced the Extreme Wind Sword Manual and secondarily cultivated the True Dragon Body Forging Method (Everyone is Like a Dragon version), also made great progress.

Although the two are still at the God King and True God realms and have not yet broken through the Sacred and Mortal Heavenly Gate, their combat power and foundation have surpassed countless others. Liu Yanran's premature growth due to the Heavenly Spirit Flame Jade has also been replenished.

The most surprising thing was Empress Yue Shuhua of the Great Yan Dynasty. She was originally at the Saint Realm and had not practiced the True Dragon Body Forging Technique, yet she rushed straight to the peak of the Supreme Saint Realm in just one month.

In fact, if it weren't for Princess Iron Fan's seal loosening and her cultivation recovering quickly, she would almost have been surpassed by Yue Shuhua.

Zhou Xingdou also visited the Hall of Stars, which Yuan Tian and Fahai had specially built for him, and sat down on the throne.

For some reason, he had a great fondness for the throne. He disliked standing or sitting cross-legged, preferring to sit upright on a high and heavy throne, and he especially enjoyed the feeling of looking down on others.

Upon learning of Zhou Xingdou's return, Li Xiuru and her daughter Liu Yanran, as well as Chief Steward Qiu Yu and Empress Yue Shuhua of the Great Yan Dynasty, immediately put aside their cultivation and seclusion, and almost fanatically came to the center of the Hall of Stars to kowtow to Zhou Xingdou.

They were not as bold as Princess Iron Fan, who dared to throw herself directly into Zhou Xingdou's arms without any hesitation.

Because Princess Iron Fan was Stephen Chow's battle slave, and Stephen Chow also loved her very much.

No matter how well Zhou Xingdou treated Qiu Yu and the others, they were still female slaves with the slave mark implanted in them, and their respect and fear of Zhou Xingdou far outweighed their fervent love.

No need for formalities.

Zhou Xingdou was much gentler than before, and did not put on a cold front. He just smiled slightly, raised his hand, and a powerful holy force lifted the four women from their kneeling positions.

While the four women may not be considered exceptionally beautiful, they are certainly all stunning beauties.

Li Xiuru's sharp tongue and the mole on her lip, Liu Yanran's naivety, Qiu Yu's shyness and humility, and Yue Shuhua's plumpness and dignified elegance as an empress all give them unique characteristics, preventing them from becoming homogenized in terms of beauty.

Of course, if we're talking about who's the most beautiful, it has to be Princess Iron Fan, the most beautiful woman in Journey to the West. So she and Fahai stand on either side of her throne, while everyone else can only stand below.

Zhou Xingdou's silvery-white eyes, filled with purple aura, swept over Li Xiuru, Liu Yanran, and Qiu Yu before settling on Empress Yue Shuhua of the Great Yan Dynasty.

He was at the peak of sainthood, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a half-step Great Saint.

Such an improvement would be normal for the Zhou family, but it would be absolutely impossible for the newly built Thunder Punishment Palace.

A sacred realm, an extraordinary realm; a ladder to heaven, one step at a time.

Zhou Xingdou has not broken through to the Supreme Saint realm in a month. What merit or ability does Yue Shuhua possess?

Most importantly, according to Princess Iron Fan, Yue Shuhua did not take any precious medicines, nor did she cultivate the True Dragon Body Forging Technique.

It was cultivated naturally.

However, Zhou Xingdou did not quite believe in the idea that it could be cultivated naturally. If the Great Yan Empress had such talent and ability, she would not have been captured by Zhou Xingdou in the first place, nor would she have been coerced and lured into planting the slave mark by Zhou Xingdou.

This also reminded Zhou Xingdou of You Ji's words that Yue Shuhua possessed a gathering of fortune.

Unfortunately, the system is currently undergoing its third repair, which will take more than twenty days to complete. Zhou Xingdou is also unable to find out through the system whether Yue Shuhua has become the person of destiny.

But since Zhang Liang had a plan, Zhou Xingdou found a way to get around it.

The Myriad Transformations Slave Seal can automatically become ineffective against people with great fortune. Zhou Xingdou also communicated with the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal in Yue Shuhua's soul the moment Yue Shuhua entered the hall.

But the marriage proposal was met with complete silence, receiving no response whatsoever.

That means Yue Shuhua not only gathered fortune, but also great fortune, becoming a person of great fortune.

Yue Shuhua was controlled by Zhou Xingdou and could not possibly gather any luck, nor was she a person with luck in the past.

If someone who could never have become a person of great fortune suddenly becomes one, there is only one possibility.

Her closest relatives, or extremely important people, possessed immense good fortune, which influenced her causally, making her a person of great fortune.

The royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty had long been slaughtered, and Yue Shuhua's maternal clan, the Yue family, the number one family in the Great Yan Dynasty, had also been destroyed along with the Great Yan Dynasty. Now, only one close relative remained.

That was Huo Lingtian, the first great benefactor of the Taichu Dynasty, whose fiancée was stolen by Zhou Xingdou, who killed his father, destroyed the dynasty, and enslaved his mother.

Back then, the Divine Martial Sect issued the Zhou family's Heavenly Decree, gathering the Heavenly Stele Sect, Ancient Yang City, Shadow Secret Tower, Burning Medicine Valley, Nine Swords Manor, Divine Refining Pavilion, and Zhenhai Palace, a total of seven major forces, to attack Yan, turning the entire Great Yan into a void.

However, Fang Tianyang became an unexpected variable, allowing him to take Huo Lingtian away under the guise of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

Zhou Xingdou knew about this matter back then, but Huo Lingtian had already been crippled by him, his cultivation was gone, and the Great Yan Empress was in Zhou Xingdou's hands after the Great Yan was destroyed. So Zhou Xingdou didn't bother to care about this reptile.

Looking back now, my whole family was wiped out, my mother was enslaved, my fiancée was tortured to death, and I myself was stripped of my cultivation, yet I miraculously escaped death and survived.

Who says it's really tragic? Isn't this the perfect protagonist template?

Zhou Xingdou seemed to understand something in an instant: the Punishment Thunder Palace was a secretive place, and not many people knew about it.

Moreover, the Punishment Thunder Palace is located in the core state of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, Tian Xuan Sacred State. Luo Bailian, this battle slave, has never met Zhou Xingdou, yet he not only knows of the existence of the Punishment Thunder Palace, but also sends a message saying that the palace is in danger.

This suggests that Luo Bailian learned about and paid attention to the Punishment Thunder Palace from other places, and he may even have come in person to do something.

However, upon arriving at the Palace of Punishment Thunder, Luo Bailian sensed that Princess Iron Fan, who was also a war slave, was inside. He instantly realized that this was Zhou Xingdou's force and sent the letter.

It is certain that Luo Bailian and even the Luo family are subordinates of the forces or individuals within the Heavenly Palace who pose a threat.

But why would the Punishment Thunder Palace, a little-known place established less than two months ago, located in the Tianxuan Sacred State right under the nose of the Xuantian Dao Sect, and possessing a protective array capable of contending with the Supreme Being, be targeted?

There must be a reason, right? Whether it was for reasons of profit or risk, Zhou Xingdou couldn't understand it at the time.

But now, looking at Yue Shuhua, Zhou Xingdou suddenly felt enlightened.

Huo Lingtian must have gained some influence in the last two months, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to affect Yue Shuhua.

And what is the first thing the protagonist does when he becomes part of the climate?

It was naturally revenge.

Even if things don't go well, we should at least rescue our enslaved mother.
