Chapter 889: Lazy all the way to the Heavenly Palace



Ah Zhu didn't know, but she felt that there was something extraordinary in it. But her eyesight was better than Xia Xiao's, so the latter looked at her lovingly and opened the wooden box. There was an extraordinary halo in it, which was condensed by the source energy. When she touched it with her hand, the source energy between heaven and earth began to tremble.

He picked up a small piece of paper, on which it was written: Superior mid-grade Tianyuan Pill, gathers the source energy of heaven and earth, and can be swallowed directly for absorption.

“The things sent by Zhuang Zong are really good, but it seems that there is only one Tianyuan Pill.”

Xia Xiao looked in the box beside Ah Zhu for a long time, and there was indeed no second pill. He knew from Qin Shuo's memory that such items were extremely rare, and were only used when they were promoted. There were quite a few low-grade Tianyuan pills, but the middle-grade ones could mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, which showed how powerful they were. But there was only one pill, and it seemed a bit bad for Xia Xiao to take it for himself.

"It's okay. When the gift from the Heavenly Palace arrives, the Tianyuan Pill will definitely be there."

"Yes, then I will take it as mine."

Xia Xiao and Azhu looked at each other and smiled. In fact, even if Azhu didn't say it, Xia Xiao would use it. To put it bluntly, the gifts here were all earned by Azhu, so why can't he use them? But he didn't use them right away, because he didn't know when he would set off. So when the Tiangong carriage arrived, he took the Tianyuan Pill and left with the farewell of the people in the Huangdian.

There are many ways to leave, but it is rare to find someone as impatient as Xia Xiao.

The carriage brought many gifts from the Heavenly Palace, which formed two small hills under the steps of the Desolate Palace. No matter which pile was neatly arranged, it was more than what Zhuang Zong had sent before. But the second elder only said that this was just the beginning, just like when Zhuang Zong just got the qualification of the earth-level power, such gifts were sent three times. Because of the special nature of the Desolate Palace, the gifts must be no less than five times, and ten times is possible.

This amount is indeed not small, but it always gives Qingxunzi and his friends a feeling of buying and selling Xia Xiao and Azhu. Compared with the two of them, no matter how many gifts they give, it is just a small profit. But no one knows what they are doing, and no one dares to talk. They are all waiting, waiting for Xia Xiao and Azhu to send back news.

After waving goodbye to the two, the second elder looked at the hundreds-meter-tall Pegasus and couldn't help but sigh. There were many wild beasts in the Great Wilderness, but none of them were this big. However, as a Xishu person, he was already accustomed to them, and was only surprised by other things.

"Since the founding of the Heavenly Palace, four-winged Pegasus has been used to invite distinguished guests into the palace. The carriage is like a small palace, which represents the noble status. But in my memory, it seems that no one is really worthy of this etiquette, and there has never been a four-winged Pegasus that really appeared in the sky. This shows that the Palace Master is really respectful and polite to Ah Zhu."

Shang Yan also heard his whispers, but when he looked at the clouds, the Pegasus had gone. It was strong and had four wings. Whenever it flapped, a violent wind would be blown up, which was shocking. However, after Xia Xiao and Azhu praised it for a few times, they immediately sat down and began to practice. Because they didn't know when they would reach the Heavenly Palace, Xia Xiao was so anxious, so he swallowed the Tianyuan Pill and began to absorb it.

The Tianyuan Pill contained a lot of source energy, which was extremely powerful. Xia Xiao absorbed it one by one, mobilizing the source energy of heaven and earth to enter his body. He condensed the source energy into a tree to store more source energy.

At present, only two more trees are needed. When there are five trees, the source energy can be integrated and impact the next realm. This process requires a lot of source energy, so Xia Xiao is always accumulating it, and every step is very steady. At present, time is urgent, but Xia Xiao would rather slow down than be impetuous.

During this process, Xia Xiao, who had been practicing for two hours, had already woken up. She had always been a restless person, and now she had reached the fifteenth level of strength, so she opened the window and lay on it to look at the scenery outside. The window was very large, and Ah Zhu felt the cool breeze. Just as she was about to lean into Xia Xiao's arms, she realized that he was still sitting cross-legged practicing not far away.

Ah Zhu felt a little disappointed, but looking at the scenery, feeling the wind, and being exposed to the sun, he immediately felt sleepy. After having a full meal yesterday, he stayed in the storage room for a night. At that time, he didn't feel that time passed so quickly. But when he went out, he found that there was no moon, only the sun rising from the east.

Ah Zhu yawned, cleared his throat, walked to the door of the small hall, and pushed it slightly open. On one side was a mysterious driver wearing a bamboo hat. Ah Zhu saw him turn his head, laughed, and asked with a curved eyebrow:

"Senior, when will we arrive at the Heavenly Palace?"

Ah Zhu was sweet-mouthed, with an irresistible sweet smile on her face, which made the driver swallow his saliva and feel lucky. He raised his head again and said with a smell of blood in his nose:

"Whatever you want to do, just do it. I'll call you when we're almost there."

"Thank you, senior. You are so kind."

Ah Zhu slowly closed the door, stretched out his snow-white neck, and made the driver lean against the door, then took off his bamboo hat, revealing an old face. This was an octogenarian, but his real age was definitely not as simple as it looked. He had a nosebleed that could not be controlled even by acupressure, and it kept flowing.

"Xia Xiao is such a lucky guy. Back then, I was also a handsome guy, but why didn't I meet such a pretty girl?"

Seeing that the bleeding could not be stopped even with the source energy, the old man hurriedly shook his head and muttered:

"Don't even think about it. The age difference between me and this kid is several thousand times. It's impossible. Don't make a fool of yourself!"

In the hall, Ah Zhu lay comfortably on the bed that had been prepared long ago, stretched her body, took off her bloody skirt, threw it on the bed, and slept soundly under the soft and fragrant quilt. The incense beside her was very helpful for sleeping, and she fell asleep quickly. This sleep was another day and night, but she particularly liked this feeling.

This journey was destined to be a lazy one for Ah Zhu. She woke up occasionally and saw Xia Xiao was still practicing, so she lay down again, pulled the quilt and covered her delicate skin.

“Who’s helping me?”

Xia Xiao asked a question, but Azhu didn't hear it because the former was in a very deep state of practice at this time. However, he didn't know who pushed him and enabled him to successfully advance to the eleventh level of Xishu.

Xia Xiao's thinking was very clear. After the five trees solidified, he gathered all the pure source energy together, trying to expand the space that could hold the source energy.

That space was invisible, but it was also his five-element space, a very special existence. But such a simple and crude method almost caused the source energy to collide and hurt himself.

There was no answer when he asked this question, so Xia Xiao asked several more times, and finally an old voice responded, saying:

"It's me! It's me!"

"Who is the senior?"

"The old man driving the car outside the door."

Xia Xiao had some impression of this. When they were in Lingchu City before, the four-winged Pegasus stopped above the Desolate Palace, completely blocking it. There was a driver on it. They had seen him before when they entered the carriage of the palace and exchanged greetings. They didn't know that he was so powerful that he could help them like this.

Xia Xiao had never heard of anyone who could help others when they were promoted, because cultivation in the Great Wilderness was a personal matter, and the master only talked about it from the outside, and the inner things still needed to be worked on by oneself. But on Xishu's side, the strong could control more things, and he felt that this world was extremely dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might fall into the abyss of death without a burial place. Fortunately, he still had Ah Zhu by his side!

"No need to be polite. I, an old man, can only give you a little help. You should take a good rest. We will reach the Heavenly Palace early tomorrow morning!"

When Xia Xiao opened his eyes, he was immediately full of energy, and felt that there was endless power in his body, ready to burst out at any time. This was undoubtedly the eleventh level, and it was very different from the tenth level. As for each realm in the future, it was also very different. After all, it was the eighth level of heaven, not the eighth level of earth before.

Seeing that Azhu was sleeping, Xia Xiao also took off his clothes and got in. He hugged the delicate body that was like a small stove, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu were not the only guests of the Heavenly Palace in the past 100,000 years, nor were they the first couple that the driver had received, but they were indeed the only ones who had the leisure time to do so. Others were either extremely nervous, thinking about what to say when they saw the Palace Master, or extremely anxious. Therefore, on the way to the Heavenly Palace, some practiced, some drank tea and meditated, and some read books, but no one took off their clothes and fell asleep.

If it weren't for their special status, the old man driving the car would probably have dropped them off in front of the palace gate and ran away, and would not have waited like this now, but who can blame them for being two little ancestors!

The next day, when the carriage descended, the two Tiangong disciples smiled bitterly and said to the old man:

"Mr. Ma, you've tortured us to death. We thought you were going to come down last night, but we didn't expect you to wait until now."

Xia Xiao and Azhu heard this. They walked out of the small temple and looked at the sky above. There were indeed traces of the heavenly horse. This was all for their own good. If it weren't for their condition, they would have reached the Heavenly Palace last night. But the mysterious driver didn't reveal it. He just laughed dryly and said to Xia Xiao and Azhu:

"Go up this road and you will see the Palace Master!"

"Thank you, senior."

Xia Xiao and Azhu bowed again, which made him secretly happy, but he waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, go quickly!"

If they don't leave, Ma Lao's nose will bleed again. With his back to them, the old man pretended to talk to the two disciples, but he was actually wiping his nose. Xia Xiao and Azhu stood at the gate of the Heavenly Palace. They didn't think the gate was very high before, but now they looked up and saw that it was hundreds of meters high.

What was even more terrifying was that this place seemed to be in the clouds, but there was a sky above it, which made people feel extremely strange. The clouds around them were numerous and thick, and among them were star-like broken stones, which gathered with the steps of Xia Xiao and Azhu, forming steps for them to step on and reach the top.

“It’s amazing.”

There were many floating islands around, and each of them had a palace, but there were no bridges or roads between them. There were only thick clouds, and with one step, the gravel became steps. The roads were constantly changing, and the people on them kept turning their heads. When they saw Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu, they couldn't help but look at them a few more times, and asked each other:

"Is that the legendary god?"

"She looks like a pretty girl, but since the Palace Master invited her, she must be someone special."

"That's right, so don't provoke them and just do your own thing!"

Because they had seen real gods, even though they had never been to the realm of gods, this magnificent, majestic, fairyland-like heavenly palace did not shock them much. Especially those people, who seemed to remind Xia Xiao and Azhu that this was still the human world, just like the Cloud Kingdom, not the kingdom of gods.
