Compared to Granny Smallpox, Xia Xiao and Azhu felt that they were lucky enough because their lives had just begun in a certain sense. So with a lot of experience, they could avoid making mistakes and causing irreversible consequences, which would have regretted their whole lives.

They also have confidence that when they reach Grandma Xiaohua's age, they will definitely not be so lonely. Even if their children are not around, they will not be able to live alone in the mountains.

Life is full of fun, and what they do is only one ten-thousandth of it. They can enjoy endless joy with endless time. Even if they are tired, they can still go around the academy. Xia Xiao always feels that he can go back, lie down in the peach forest and have a good sleep, and wait for the peaches to ripen and fall on his head before waking up.

When Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu thought about the future, they were extremely excited because they both felt that those days would not be bad. In this joy, they began the last leg of their journey to find someone.

The territory controlled by Zhuang Zong was not large, only one-thirtieth of the prosperous continent, and only a corner of the northeast. Therefore, even if they wanted to go from the southwest to the west, it only took two days. In these two days, they were very fast, and there were only a few hours left to the place marked on the scroll.

Because they were unfamiliar with the environment in Zhuangzong, Xia Xiao and Azhu flew at a low altitude to familiarize themselves with the surroundings, which would make it much more convenient for them to come out and find someone in the future.

Gradually, the two discovered that although the territory of Zhuangzong was small, the terrain was complex and diverse. However, all of this was related to the powerful source energy of the Xishu world.

The source energy of Xishu is also divided into many kinds like the source energy of Dahuang, but the latter's source energy is distributed in the environment and also develops the environment. However, the source energy of Xishu is extremely strong, and different scenes will be formed in whichever place has the stronger source energy.

For example, the volcano where Zhao Jinchui was located before had extremely strong energy from the fire element, which could even burn the sky at will. There were no plants around the volcano, just a desert full of red flames. The energy of Sanheng Mountain where Granny Tianhua was located was more balanced, but it had more energy from the wood and water elements, so the flowers, plants and trees were particularly lush, and it was like spring all year round.

The environment here depends solely on the source energy. If there is more heavy source energy, there will be bare mountains everywhere, with a lot of ice and snow on them, which looks quite a different scenery.

This was not the first time that the source energy of the Xishu world had surprised Xia Xiao and Azhu. That highly condensed feeling represented strength. Even now, Xia Xiao and Azhu had only just adapted to it and did not dare to underestimate it.

During the use, they became more and more proficient. At this time, they activated the source energy, not to speed up, but to lower their bodies a little, because they felt a force calling them.

It was an extremely strange force, only slightly stronger than Xia Xiao, probably at the twelfth level, but with extremely strange fluctuations, like when urging the source energy, using it in a rather strange way. That method was hard to describe, because it was the first time Xia Xiao and Azhu had seen it. But when descending, he immediately escaped from the fluctuations and saw that person.

It was a man wearing a black shirt, with long hair draped over his shoulders, a young and clean face, bright eyes, arms behind his back, and a slender figure, which made Xia Xiao couldn't help but take a few more glances. On this cold snowy mountain, this man was elegant, with a faint smile on his face, like a spring breeze that had never been seen on the snowy mountain, and also like he had been waiting for a long time.

This handsome man looked a bit like the last person Xia Xiao and Azhu were looking for, but this place was still some distance from his range of activities. Even if he was not the person they were looking for, he could be recruited if he was stronger than them. So Xia Xiao and Azhu both bowed and took the lead in introducing themselves.

"My name is Xia Xiao."

Ah Zhu also said his name, but the man's reaction surprised them. He did not say his name like Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu did, but just smiled and bowed back. Jiao asked with interest:

"Did you two forget to mention the Desolate Palace?"

"Your Excellency?"

"I am Liu Chengxue, I pay my respects to the Lord God, and to Lord Xia."

Liu Chengxue?

Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu looked at each other, both of them were happy. This Liu Chengxue was the last person they were looking for. This time Yu Shangyan's record was correct, he was really tall and handsome, but why did he come here? Yu Shangyan also said that Liu Chengxue was the most homely person and should never leave the house.

Before Xia Xiao could ask his doubts, Liu Chengxue began to kneel down and kowtow, which made their faces change and they immediately went to help him.

"Senior, you don't have to be so polite. You absolutely cannot be like this."

"Not only am I weak, I also have no talent. I really cannot bear the title of senior."

Liu Chengxue was pulled up by Xia Xiao and Azhu, but his words and actions at this time seemed a little strange, as if he had expected what he wanted to find him for, and he also knew where he and Azhu came from. This place was not very far from the Deserted Palace, but as a hermit, there was no one around him. Could it be that he had been paying attention to the world's affairs?

Only Liu Chengxue could solve this kind of doubt. His words and deeds were all well-mannered, and his gestures were full of elegance. Such a person would be proud of going to the Desolate Palace. As for the issue of strength, the twelfth level was not weak. After all, the Palace Master Yu Shangyan was only at the thirteenth level.

In terms of strength, Azhu is enough for the time being, so Xia Xiao showed great respect, which made Liu Chengxue feel comfortable.

"Senior, you are too kind, but you seem to be waiting for someone. I wonder which lucky person it is?"

"Although my cultivation is not strong, I am proficient in astronomical calculations. I knew that you two would come to find me, so I have been waiting here for a long time. Today, I finally see you two coming. I would like to express my gratitude and will definitely work for the Desolate Palace and be loyal to you."

"Senior, can you still predict the establishment of the Desolate Palace?"

Seeing Liu Chengxue nod, Xia Xiao and Azhu looked at each other and felt curious. In fact, Xia Xiao had similar abilities when he was in the Great Wilderness, but he was unable to actively control them. After coming to Xishu, he lost them directly. He didn't expect that Liu Chengxue could do it.

Predicting the future is not an easy task. Only if one is strong enough and has a flash of inspiration occasionally, can one see what will happen in the future. However, being able to accurately predict it is a skill that cannot be underestimated at this level. Yu Shangyan had the least description of Liu Chengxue on the scroll, but he did not expect that he had this ability.

Liu Chengxue's expression gradually turned cold, and Xia Xiao didn't know why when he noticed it, but he asked tentatively:

"I have something to tell you two about the Desolate Palace. Will it delay your return?"

"No, please speak, senior."

Xia Xiao and Azhu were in a very good mood, but their faces turned a little cold because of what Liu Chengxue was about to say.

"It may not be appropriate for me to say this since we are meeting for the first time, but I saw those things by chance. Now that I see you two, I feel it is necessary to tell you so that you can be more vigilant and avoid disasters. It is like this. Three months ago, I was fortune-telling in my palace to see how far I was from reaching the thirteenth level of strength."

"To be honest with you two, I am not from Xishu, but came from the mortal star of the fifth-level world. After arriving here, Xishu is very different from what I thought, so I transformed the source energy and improved my strength here. Over the past few hundred years, I have improved by two levels, but I still can't get to the thirteenth level. However, when I was fortune-telling, I knew that I would fail again in the next attempt, so I was a little discouraged."

"But I have some talent in fortune-telling, so I wanted to see my future. I couldn't stay here forever. So, I saw the establishment of the Desolate Palace, and I knew that the two of you would come to me with scrolls. I was happy because I met the Lord of Gods, and under your leadership, the Desolate Palace would become more and more prosperous, and even the Heavenly Palace would not dare to look down on it. But after many, many years, the Desolate Palace was destroyed, and I was also swallowed by the starlight and fireworks."

Seeing Xia Xiao and Azhu frowning, Liu Chengxue said apologetically:

"I have been worried for a long time. As a prospective elder of the Desolate Palace, I will not betray the Palace unless it dislikes me. That is why I have spoken these things out. I hope you two adults will forgive me."

"No problem."

Seeing Xia Xiao's attitude, Liu Chengxue became more determined to enter the deserted palace. Xia Xiao and Azhu looked at each other and asked:

"Is the fortune telling accurate, senior?"

"There is nothing that cannot be calculated, only what cannot be calculated."

Liu Chengxue only had this one reasonable strength. Although he couldn't figure it out many times, he didn't doubt himself. Although this matter itself was worthy of doubt, since Ah Zhu was a god, who could destroy the Desolate Palace? These were indeed worth further investigation, but Xia Xiao chose to believe him for the time being.

"So, the Desolate Palace is really in danger?"

Xia Xiao motioned Ah Zhu to come and have a look. She was eager to try it out. Before that, she asked:

“How many years have passed in between?”

"I don't know the details, but I saw that I already had white hair."

Xia Xiao and Azhu looked at Liu Chengxue's black hair and felt a little relieved. At least nothing would happen in the next ten thousand years. This judgment and Azhu's trust in herself made her not want to look at the future, but out of caution, she still sat cross-legged on the snow mountain and said to Xia Xiao and Liu Chengxue:

"Stay away, be careful not to hurt you."

After hearing this, Xia Xiao took Liu Chengxue to the sky. Although Ah Zhu could not be seen from this height, Xia Xiao felt that it was too low. Ah Zhu's divine power was no joke. That destructive power could destroy Xishu if he was not careful.

Ah Zhu started to sit cross-legged, while Liu Chengxue asked Xia Xiao:

"How long will it take the gods to see the future?"

"I don't know. She rarely uses this power."

Liu Chengxue was a little puzzled. If he had it, why didn't he use it? Xia Xiao saw the puzzlement between his brows and explained:

"If you know everything, wouldn't it be boring? Your god is just a kid in his early twenties. He loves to play and doesn't want to be a god."

"Master Xia is only in his twenties?"

Xia Xiao nodded, shocking Liu Chengxue. He was a rare genius in cultivation among the mortal stars, but even so, it took him a hundred years to come to the Xishu world. After coming here, his strength improved even more slowly, and it took him hundreds of years to improve by two levels. Although he couldn't see through Xia Xiao's strength, no matter how strong or weak he was, he was a little surprised.

As expected, geniuses from small places are just ants in the world above. As for men who are worthy of gods, how can their strength be low? Xia Xiao looked at Ah Zhu before, and she knew what to do, like a little wife who was dependent on others. In order to confirm the relationship between them, Liu Chengxue dared to ask:

"Excuse me, who is the God?"

"Can't you see?"

Xia Xiao smiled bitterly and added:

"wife!"
