When asked about the most accurate time, Xia Xiao was not sure. The Palace Master just said that he would come and apologize. But whether it would be today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Xia Xiao was not sure. However, given the Palace Master's efficiency, the order should be executed soon. Therefore, they had no choice but to wait!

The most common thing Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu did was to wait. But once they waited, they couldn't help getting annoyed, and insisting on practicing wouldn't necessarily help, so they sat in the deserted palace, always looking into the distance.

Rather than waiting, it was an excuse for them to be lazy. Xia Xiao and Azhu looked for a long time. Many people looked up at them with envy and admiration in their eyes. But at night, there was still no figure tearing through the space. Since the fat monk in the South Sea was the king of heaven, he understood the ways of the world and would definitely not come at night. Xia Xiao and Azhu did not need to wait any longer, and Yu Shangyan was the same.

Everyone in the hall went back to rest, as there were still many things to do tomorrow. But Xia Xiao had a lot of things in his heart, and he felt heavy, so he sneaked out of the bed after Ah Zhu fell asleep. Although Ah Zhu was very powerful, she always maintained the living habits of an ordinary person. This was related to her own temperament, and it also gave Xia Xiao an excellent opportunity to practice.

Sitting in the deserted palace, Xia Xiao began to practice, absorbing the source of heaven and earth. He was extremely focused, forgetting the bright and deep starry sky above his head, and just kept absorbing the breath of heaven and earth to improve his own cultivation.

Last time in the Heavenly Palace, Xia Xiao learned that he could not reach the above realms by creating trees. Doing so might cause the source energy in his body to explode and backfire, thus hurting himself. So he used the resentment in his body to expand the five elements space to accommodate more source energy.

When in the Great Wilderness, the Yuanqi Tree in the Five Elements Space was enough to bear all the Yuanqi, but it didn't work in the sunset, so Xia Xiao changed his route.

On the lawn in the Five Elements Space, there is still a large Yuanqi tree, and the black tree next to it is still there, but the entire Five Elements Space is constantly expanding to accommodate more Yuanqi. After arriving at Xishu, not only Xia Xiao, but everyone else is looking for their own way of practice, so as to find their own rhythm and get back on track.

Xia Xiao believed that the path he was on was definitely correct, so he practiced all night and stayed in the Five Elements Space for a long time. He was covered in moonlight in the deserted palace, and he stayed with the five spirit beasts in the Five Elements Space, discussing ways to become stronger. Xia Xiao didn't know where his limit was, nor did he know what the luster in the spirit spring was. But when he practiced, he never liked to think too much, just discussing how to move faster.

The five spirit beasts had followed Xia Xiao since the Great Wilderness, so of course they had to advance and retreat together. Even the golden spirit beast, which had not been optimistic about Xia Xiao and had once quarreled with him, now quietly shut up and tried its best to cooperate, hoping that Xia Xiao could become an existence that surpassed Yu Shangyan. In that way, he could also surpass her golden spirit beast and possess the sword energy that could cut thousands of people.

Except for the Golden Spirit Beast, the other four spirits didn't have so many ideas, but the five spirit beasts were mature at this time. Even Shanshe and Jumang accelerated their growth when Xia Xiao absorbed the rich source energy from the spiritual spring. At this time, the seven beasts around Xia Xiao had their own postures and were extremely powerful.

Ju Mang's wings can roll up a storm, and his body is two meters tall. Although he looks like a scholar, he is surrounded by thunder and wind, and has an extraordinary aura. His sharp claws can hold everything, control cranes and capture dragons, pick up the sun, moon and stars, control everything in the world, and control the creation of yin and yang. And his clothes are extremely elegant, and he can turn thousands of miles away and flap his wings to reach nineteen states. Because of the blessing of the sunset source energy, Ju Mang has a free and unrestrained aura all over his body, which makes him look more like a god.

The flames of the Huo Dou at the side were even stronger, enough to reach the sky, and there was hot air rising around it. Although its body was only a few meters tall, it seemed to have an illusion because of the flames. This was a new ability of the Huo Dou, and it was also a new ability brought by the Xishu Yuanqi, which would benefit it greatly. The Huo Dou was like a tiger or a lion, and also like a Tibetan mastiff dog, with more bravery and ferocity, and less indecision. Standing still meant that it was good at fighting, and moving quickly was terrifying.

Xiaoyu is ten meters tall, which is considered very tall in this group. She has a slender figure and a hot waistline. Her pair of vertical pupils are something that the other four spiritual beasts do not have. However, she has a timid expression on her little face, which is a situation that no force can change.

From a certain perspective, the five spirit beasts in Xia Xiao's body are all incomplete, so some of their shortcomings are understandable. But even if their expressions are not as cold and frightening as Yu Shangyan's water spirit beast, they are still the water princess, noble and inviolable.

There was an incomparable amount of water vapor beside Xiaoyu's floating blue hair and shark tail, which could hit like a tsunami in the next moment. There were countless shining crystals in the water vapor, but Xiaoyu still did not master the power of the deep sea and ice in the water, which also allowed the three fish behind him to continue to live in the water space. They were affected by the sunset source energy and changed at this time.

The horns on the goldfish's forehead became thicker and sharper, and golden scales grew on its body. The blue fish's body became more slender and dreamy, and it seemed to be like a dragon when it twisted. As for the gray fish, its thick skin turned into a tight armor, like stone. It is conceivable that when it puffed up its body, it would be able to fully unfold its armor, like a shield formation.

The golden spirit beast did not change much, because his starting point was higher than everyone else's, but the sword energy he displayed was sharper, and the black-purple light could turn into substance, as thick as water. But he was not satisfied with this, because when he saw Yu Shangyan's golden dragon, he wanted to surpass it and was unwilling to be just his clone.

Shanshe was the youngest, and now he had entered adulthood, with a total length of 500 meters. Such a huge beast was no longer as uncoordinated as before, always looking too thin, but extremely heavy. Just bowing his head to the ground made people feel as heavy as a mountain. The dragon horns on his head were getting bigger and bigger, giving him the ability to control the earth and move the heaven and earth. But he was slow to react. Looking at Xia Xiao at this time, he took a long time to react to his explanation, and then disappeared in an instant, raising grass and dust all over the sky, and returned to the earth space.

With the blessing of the five elements, the speed of absorbing source energy is also faster, but it is more troublesome because the five spirit beasts must be mobilized for practice. But they are not bored, and becoming stronger is also a great feeling. This practice lasted until noon, and Xia Xiao opened his eyes when he felt it was about time, while Ah Zhu beside him had already woken up from his nap.

Those who are favored by fate can be as lazy as Ah Zhu, but Xia Xiao can't. At least in the world of Xishu, he is just an ordinary person. People here can use all kinds of power, so his five elements have no advantage. If he wants to defeat the enemy, he has nothing except the strange short-handled machete in his body. But Xia Xiao is willing to work hard because he knows that he can do it as long as he is willing.

Seeing Ah Zhu rubbing her eyes to wake up and leaning against him, Xia Xiao smiled warmly, then pinched her little face and said lovingly:

"What a little pig, you can sleep so well."

"No, I'm cultivating my mind. How can I practice without cultivating my mind? Once I've finished gathering my strength, I'll ascend to heaven in one step!"

Azhu lifted her feet and Xia Xiao pushed down her skirt.

"You have already ascended to heaven, so don't even think about practicing. Otherwise, what can I do?"

After a burst of laughter, Ah Zhu looked at the people gathered in the square outside the palace and said to Xia Xiao:

"here we go!"

"Recruiting disciples? Why start now?"

"Because the notices of the selected candidates were posted in the morning, in order to allow more time, we started recruiting in the afternoon."

“It’s still pretty urgent.”

Although the Desolate Palace is a new force, Yu Shangyan has been cultivating it as a local force from the beginning. Now it has everything it needs, except disciples.

Without them, it would be difficult for a force to start operating even if it was fully prepared. Therefore, Yu Shangyan's actions seemed a bit anxious, but those who wanted to join the Desolate Palace were now living in Lingchu City or outside the city, waiting for the announcement to be released, which was convenient.

After the news was made public this morning, some were happy while others were sad, but the threshold of the Desolate Palace was set quite high. With the Heavenly Palace standing behind the Desolate Palace, they could not underestimate themselves. Although some people were resentful, they did not dare to challenge the reputation of the Desolate Palace. The recruitment of the first batch of disciples for the Desolate Palace was also going smoothly.

If it were an ordinary new force, who would dare not accept anyone who wanted to join? The biggest taboo in creating a force is arrogance, but they are different. With a strong back, they naturally don't care about some things.

In the afternoon, there were more people in the square than in the morning, most of them came to visit. At the feet of Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu, the door of the palace was wide open, and many disciples stepped onto the steps one by one, entering the palace with great excitement.

Among them, there were elders waiting for them, and the second elder was also giving them the last period of guidance. After the first batch of disciples were successfully recruited and the Desolate Palace was on the right track, they would leave and could not stay for long, lest they break the rules and be gossiped by the people in the Desolate Palace.

At the entrance of the hall, two people were registering the entrants, and the young people who received the tokens engraved with their names were delighted. When they stepped into the deserted hall, they looked around curiously, searching for the figure of the legendary god.

Ah Zhu is a god. This is a news that has been spread for a long time. There is nothing to hide. Everything that the Heavenly Palace has done, and everything she has done in the Heavenly Palace, proves that she is an absolute god, worthy of awe, and is also one of the most direct purposes of their coming to the Deserted Palace. But none of them found anyone, but just began to line up in five rows at Yu Shangyan's words.

The current arrangement was not divided by status, and everyone remained silent because everything was unfamiliar to them. They just kept looking, but they didn't find the person they wanted to see. It was said that Ah Zhu was a very young girl, only about 20 years old, but there were only three women in the hall, and there was no such person at all.

When the last few people walked into the hall, Yu Shangyan stood up and was about to start his speech, but Ah Zhu and Xia Xiao appeared at the door. The former's appearance did not cause any disturbance, but the clear voice and the content of his words easily attracted everyone's attention.

"The South Sea Fishing Saint is here, let's hold the ceremony later!"
