132: Go back to the palace

“Hmm?”

As Emperor Jun spoke, everyone’s attention once again focused on him, and Lin Xiao stared at him with great interest.

From the sound of it, this Demon Emperor was prepared to shed some blood today.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a snowy white lotus suddenly appeared in Emperor Jun’s raised palm, shining with a faint white light.

“This is a seventy-thousand-year-old Heaven Dream Snow Lotus.”

Emperor Jun controlled his spiritual power to make it fly towards the opposite side, a hint of heartache in his tone, forcing a smile.

“It should be enough for healing.”

“Hiss!”

And after Emperor Jun’s words fell, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.

Emperor Jun, this guy, really went all out.

Heaven Dream Snow Lotus, just by its name, one can tell it’s a Spirit Medicine, though not comparable to an undying divine herb, it’s not far off.

This kind of snow lotus is distinguished by its age; those under ten thousand years are generally Earth Grade, while snow lotus over ten thousand years enters the Heaven Rank, and only then can the other two words, Heaven Dream, be added.

And basically, most of the snow lotuses existing in the world are at this level, because it’s extremely difficult for snow lotuses to advance further.

A thirty-thousand-year-old Heaven Dream Snow Lotus can only advance one more grade, becoming Heaven Rank Medium Grade.

Further up, another thirty thousand years would be needed, meaning only when the Heaven Dream Snow Lotus reaches sixty thousand years can it be promoted to Heaven Rank High Grade.

And the seventy-thousand-year-old Heaven Dream White Lotus that Emperor Jun brought out now, there’s likely only one such plant in the entire Tianxuan Continent, showing how precious it is, a true healing holy medicine in every sense.

For example, even if Lin Xiao were to severely injure Dragon Flame to the brink of death right now, as long as he hadn’t breathed his last, he could still be saved.

“Gulp…”

Looking at the Heaven Dream White Lotus that landed in his hand, Bone Cultivator couldn’t help but swallow, a little astonished.

This thing was actually seventy thousand years old, almost the combined age of him and Blue Heart, holding such an old object felt strange.

“How about it, Fellow Daoist Gu?”

Facing Bone Cultivator, who was two major Realms lower than himself, Emperor Jun uncharacteristically used a rather intimate address.

“Are you satisfied with this item?”

Emperor Jun had figured it out; the real decision-makers were this young couple, as for the Palace Master next to them, he was just here to stand up for them.

“This…”

Facing Emperor Jun’s inquiry, Bone Cultivator didn’t respond immediately, instead looking at Blue Heart, and then saw her nod slightly to him.

“That’s fine.”

Blue Heart murmured, gripping Bone Cultivator’s hand slightly, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face. She wasn’t foolish; she naturally thought of what Bone Cultivator had thought of.

This matter was originally just about herself, but in the end, Wuji Palace also got involved. Since things had come to this, ending it like this would be for the best.

She didn’t want to cause any more trouble for Bone Cultivator, Lin Xiao, and Wuji Palace because of herself.

And upon seeing Blue Heart nod, Bone Cultivator also made his decision, nodding slightly to Emperor Jun and saying in a deep voice.

“Good.”

As Bone Cultivator uttered this word, the tense atmosphere in this part of the world immediately eased.

Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi both breathed a sigh of relief, and Dragon Flame even more so; he had been the most nervous just now. If the talks had broken down, he would likely have to be carried back to the Demon Domain today.

And Emperor Jun had even been thinking that if the other party still didn’t agree, he would have no choice but to personally deal with Dragon Flame.

Otherwise, if he let the people opposite do it, what if they accidentally used too much force and killed Dragon Flame?

“Since that’s the case, we shall take our leave first.”

At this moment, the three of Emperor Jun didn’t want to face Lin Xiao for another moment. After a greeting, they transformed into streaks of light and swept towards the horizon.

“Both of you.”

Seeing this, Lin Xiao slowly spoke. Though separated by an unknown distance, his voice still clearly reached Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi’s ears.

“If you are free in a few days, you can come to my place for a visit.”

“…Certainly, certainly.”

As soon as Lin Xiao said this, the streaks of light in the sky even fluctuated, followed by Emperor Jun’s somewhat bitter reply.

“Tsk.”

Feeling that the three had left the Illusion Blue Sea and entered the mainland in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao waved the Long Yao Folding Fan in his hand, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

“Golden Crow, huh, a bit interesting…”

For Lin Xiao, who grew up hearing the name of the Golden Crow, this thing held considerable appeal. If it weren’t inappropriate, he would have wanted to capture these two guys and make them his mounts.

“Hmm?”

Lin Xiao, lost in thought, seemed to sense something. After nodding and looking around, he raised an eyebrow and smiled.

“What’s up, everyone? Are you planning to come to Wuji Palace for tea with me?”

“Whoosh!”

As soon as these words were spoken, several Emperor's Will hidden in the world instantly retreated, each faster than the last.

They hadn’t forgotten that the last time a few of them came knocking, they only left after handing over a large pile of things. And now that the show was over anyway, if they didn’t leave, it wouldn’t be a good thing to be targeted by Lin Xiao.

“Done.”

After dealing with a few troublesome individuals, Lin Xiao’s gaze fell on Bone Cultivator and Blue Heart beside him. Without waiting for the two to react, he waved his hand.

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”

As he spoke, a pair of exquisite spiritual power giant wings condensed behind Lin Xiao. With a gentle flap, the former soared into the sky, his voice clearly reaching the two in the swirling wind.

“I’ll take care of that girl Lan Ruobing. Bone Cultivator, take her and recuperate well, don’t rush back.”

“…”

Listening to the constantly echoing voice, Bone Cultivator’s grip on Blue Heart’s hand tightened slightly, and Blue Heart was also the same. Both of them appeared calm on the surface, but in their hearts, they couldn’t help but praise him.

Their Palace Master (Palace Master Lin) is truly a good person. He even helped them with a push before leaving. I must work hard and strive to win over Blue Heart (Bone Cultivator) as soon as possible!

“Then, that…”

Blue Heart tugged at Bone Cultivator, saying softly.

“Do you want to come to my place for a cup of tea?”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Bone Cultivator was first stunned, then belatedly nodded, and then forced out a somewhat unnatural, stiff smile.

“Hmm… good.”

And conversations like this continued all the way back to the Illusion Blue Sea.

“How are your injuries?”

“There’s nothing serious anymore.”

“Is that so? That’s good.”

“Hmm.”

“…”

Thousands of miles away, above the firmament, Lin Xiao, perceiving this scene, couldn't help but cover his face, his twitching mouth unable to be suppressed.

My heavens, have these two cultivated themselves silly? How did they manage to have such awkward conversations? Bone Cultivator, that guy, didn’t use a single strategy I taught him for years.

This kind of communication, completely without thought and purely from human instinct, was truly a hearty chat…

“Old Gu, oh…”

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao shook his head and stopped himself, then retracted his Emperor's Will. Forget it, he had done his best, he had even given them a vacation, this honeymoon was set for them.

“Ah, I suddenly don’t feel like moving.”

Lin Xiao mumbled, flapping the wings behind him and lying down on a cliff, watching the mountains and flowing water in front of him while his Emperor's Will once again permeated out.

“Roar!”

About a quarter of an hour later, a long roar suddenly erupted in the world, instantly waking Lin Xiao, who had almost fallen asleep, dispelling all his drowsiness.

“Seriously…”

Lin Xiao sat up with a resentful look, then turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. A colossal figure immediately appeared in front of him, stepping through the air towards him.

Its pure white, massive body shimmered in the sunlight, and the strong aura it emitted made the mountains and forests below it silent. It was none other than Hu Zi.

“Awoo!”

Upon reaching Lin Xiao, its enormous tiger head was about to rub against him to show affection, but the next moment, it was blocked by his raised hand.

“Hmm?”

Looking at the hand blocking its nose, the white tiger tilted its head. Its originally majestic tiger face now looked somewhat naive and adorable.

“I said, Hu Zi.”

Lin Xiao emotionlessly leaned his face closer, staring directly into those clear, foolish eyes, and gritted his teeth.

“How many times have I told you, don’t roar and howl indiscriminately. Can you change that? Do you have to force me to throw you into the Ten Thousand Beast Cave for a thousand or eight hundred years of training before you behave?!”

“Awoo…”

Hearing this, the white tiger’s eyes instantly widened, as if remembering some unpleasant memory, and its tiger body trembled three times.

“Hmm, that’s better.”

Seeing this, Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then flipped onto the tiger’s back, a lazy voice coming from above.

“Go home, slow down, if you wake me up, you’re done for.”

Hearing this, the white tiger quickly stood up, turning and stepping through the air with gentle movements, fearing to disturb a certain person.

The journey back was exceptionally calm. As for why, that was thanks to the white tiger’s continuously released pressure.

The pressure of a Great Saint Realm Sixth Heaven, while perhaps not impressive in some places, was an absolute dominant force in the small domains they passed through.

Wherever the man and tiger passed, whether Cultivators or Vicious Beasts, they instantly fell silent, not daring to breathe, only resuming their normal state after they had gone far away.

Lin Xiao, meanwhile, lay on the white tiger’s broad back. The soft fur beneath him had absorbed enough sunlight, and with every breath, he felt the air filled with the scent of the sun, making him feel warm all over.

In such a state, Lin Xiao’s drowsiness returned. The Long Yao Folding Fan slipped from his hand into the thick fur, disappearing from sight.

“Hmm…”

With a soft hum, Lin Xiao’s lips curved slightly. In his chaotic mind during sleep, there was only one thought left.

So comfortable…

This state lasted for an unknown amount of time. Anyway, when Lin Xiao groggily woke up again, the scorching sun that had been overhead had disappeared at some point, replaced by a bright moon. Gusts of gentle breeze continuously blew, bringing a cool sensation.

“Ugh…”

Lin Xiao sat up somewhat groggily, and the surrounding scenery immediately cleared his mind quite a bit.

The grand hall, the open hall door, the empty stone table and chairs on the cliff edge not far away, and the black panther sleeping soundly nearby—this was indeed the summit of Middle Peak in Wuji Palace.

“This guy…”

After glancing down, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle. The white tiger was sleeping soundly, completely unaffected by his waking movements. Its majestic face now looked somewhat endearing in Lin Xiao’s eyes.

“Sleep, sleep. You’ve worked hard.”

After stroking the white tiger, Lin Xiao flashed down to the ground. The next moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Awake, Palace Master.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Xiao subconsciously turned his head, and then saw a figure looking at him on the previously empty cliff edge, it was An Lan.

“Old An, I thought it was someone else.”

Lin Xiao walked closer and put his arm around the other’s shoulder, grinning.

“Come on, I was just wondering what to do. Let’s go drink.”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, An Lan naturally wouldn’t refuse. Anyway, someone was covering his shift at the Sword Mound. A quarter of an hour later, the two were sitting under the Enlightenment Tea Tree, drinking together.

And the wine they drank was naturally not the ordinary stuff found in the cultivation world.

Ten Thousand Flower Brew, as its name suggests, was brewed from tens of thousands of types of flowers as raw Materials. As for whether it was true, Lin Xiao didn’t know, because he bought it in the System store with contribution points.

One jar for 88 contribution points, its grade was naturally not low, Heaven Rank. Normally, Lin Xiao would definitely be reluctant to drink it, but today was an exception.

His Grand Elder had not only passed the Lightning Tribulation and achieved the Emperor Realm, but also made groundbreaking progress with Blue Heart. As the strategist, Lin Xiao felt quite accomplished about this.

“Burp~”

When Lin Xiao once again drained the fine wine in his bowl, he couldn’t help but let out a satisfied burp. He wasn’t drunk, but rather felt somewhat full from drinking.

“Meaningless.”

Lin Xiao propped his chin on the stone table with one hand. Drinking, after all, was about being a little muddled and drunk, but with his current physique, getting drunk was simply a fantasy.

Of course, it wasn’t just him; An Lan was also the same, his face not red, his heart not pounding, looking completely calm.

At their level, their bodies were almost indestructible. Let alone getting drunk, even if they swallowed poison, it would be evaporated by the spiritual power within their bodies in the blink of an eye.

“Tsk.”

Just then, Lin Xiao, inadvertently glancing down the mountain, immediately had his attention drawn. Retracting his gaze, he looked at An Lan, grinning.

“Old An, it seems that among everyone in Wuji Palace, we two are the idlest right now.”

“Hmm.”

Hearing this, a faint smile also appeared on An Lan’s face.

Even though it was nighttime now, for the Disciples of Wuji Palace, it was almost like daytime. Within the Emperor's Will of the two, all Elders and Disciples in their Immortal Caves were meditating and Cultivating.

Currently, even the Outer Sect Disciple in the entire Wuji Palace had a minimum cultivation of Star Lord Realm, and at their Realm, they naturally didn’t need anyone to supervise them; self-Cultivation was the norm.

Further up, the Inner Sect Disciple at Celestial Venerable Realm, the Personal Disciple at God King Realm, and the Elders at Great Saint Realm and Quasi-Emperor Realm, all were diligently Cultivating and meditating.

Lin Xiao and An Lan, these two Great Emperors, were completely the opposite of everyone else, holding wine jars and drinking continuously.

One could only say, being invincible is truly great.
