Chapter 44

Palace of the Empress Wa.

Yang Chan had been here for some time.

Because time in Chaos is different from time in the Primordial, she could not feel the passage of time in Chaos and had been cultivating in the Palace of the Empress Wa; she was now a True Immortal.

"I wonder how Second Brother and the Immortal Elder are doing now..."

When Yang Chan was daydreaming in the corridor outside the Palace of the Empress Wa, Jin Ning came to call her.

"Yang Chan, the Empress wants to see you." The voice broke the silence.

Yang Chan, however, seemed not to hear, still immersed in her own thoughts.

Seeing this, Jin Ning took another step forward and raised her volume: "Yang Chan, the Empress is looking for you!"

Only then did Yang Chan wake up as if from a dream, a bit flustered.

"Fairy Jin Ning, I'm sorry, I was thinking about some things. I will go see Empress Nuwa right away."

Jin Ning nodded: "Go quickly, do not keep Empress Nuwa waiting."

Empress Nuwa suddenly looking for her must mean there was something important. Yang Chan did not dare to be slow, and with a heart full of reverence, she walked into the Palace of the Empress Wa with light steps.

Empress Nuwa sat upright on her throne.

Yang Chan walked up respectfully, performed a salute, and kept her head lowered, not daring to look directly at the Saint's face.

"Is there something the Empress wants to see Yang Chan for?"

Empress Nuwa lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Yang Chan, and said softly: "Yang Chan, look at the scene in these clouds and mist; do you know what place this is?"

As she spoke, Empress Nuwa lightly raised her jade hand, and a wisp of ethereal clouds and mist appeared, showing the scene inside the Nuwa Temple in Zhaoge.

Yang Chan looked up at the image in the clouds and mist.

There was the statue of Nuwa, and inside were three people.

One was wearing golden battle armor, with thick eyebrows like swords, majestic without anger.

One was wearing an imperial robe, with a resolute face and a majestic temperament, possessing an aura of an emperor.

One was a woman, bewitchingly moving, every movement full of seduction.

"Empress, this seems to be your temple. The identities of the three people in the picture seem not simple; Yang Chan does not recognize them." Yang Chan said truthfully.

Empress Nuwa raised her eyes slightly, her gaze staring calmly ahead.

"This is Zhaoge, the capital of Yin Shang. Of these three, one is the King of Yin Shang, one is the current Grand Preceptor, and as for the last one, if you want to know, you can ask that kid Gu Xiu of the Jie Sect."

Yang Chan's eyes held a hint of doubt; she did not understand why Nuwa was telling her this, and even specifically mentioned Gu Xiu.

"Empress suddenly telling Yang Chan this, is there something you want Yang Chan to do?" Yang Chan's voice was soft and respectful.

Empress Nuwa nodded, and her voice slowly sounded.

"Di Xin was bold and reckless before, committing an unforgivable sin. I originally wanted to punish Di Xin and take the opportunity to push the trend of the human world to establish a new dynasty. However, because of that kid from the Jie Sect, I discovered that someone was scheming against me, so I decided to only give Di Xin a small punishment as a warning."

Upon hearing this, ripples appeared in Yang Chan's beautiful eyes.

She had not expected that Nuwa and Gu Xiu had such an experience.

And that Gu Xiu actually had such great influence to make Nuwa change her mind.

She was even more surprised that Nuwa had once thought of replacing the human dynasty.

Although she and Yang Jian lived as ordinary people when they were in Guanjiangkou, they never cared about the affairs of the dynasty, and at the time they were still young and did not understand these things at all.

"Then does the Empress not intend to push the trend of the human world, let Yin Shang perish, and establish a new dynasty?"

The expression on Nuwa's face was indifferent.

"No dynasty can last forever. Shang Tang overthrew the rule of Xia Jie, and it has lasted for more than six hundred years to this day. It has reached its end. Even if I don't intervene, Yin Shang will only perish a little later. For me, that is just a matter of the blink of an eye."

"Then what does the Empress mean?"

The Saint's face showed no joy or anger, and she said calmly.

"In the ancient times, when I created the human race, I gave the human race a fifty-thousand-year protection period. During this time, under the leadership of the three thousand innate humans, the human race multiplied and was able to become self-reliant. Later, I let my brother become the first Human Emperor to lead the development of the human race. I should not have intervened in the affairs of the human race anymore; after all, a race that is always under protection cannot grow and become strong."

"But now that the three sects are conferring gods, in order to repay the favor of that kid from the Jie Sect, I will make an exception and help him once. You are my successor in the Palace of the Empress Wa; you go to Zhaoge and convey my decree. I can choose not to pursue the matter of Di Xin writing a poem in the Nuwa Temple. Tell him that if he is diligent in government and loves his people in the future, and becomes a wise king, he can still extend the fortune of Cheng Tang for another hundred years. If he insists on going his own way, everything he saw in his dreams will become reality."

"Yang Chan accepts the order." Yang Chan bowed her head and cupped her hands.

Empress Nuwa nodded, lightly raised her jade hand, and a lamp that was snow-white all over appeared in her hand. The lamp was nine inches high, shaped like a blooming treasure lotus, with the heart of the lotus being the wick.

"This is the Lotus Lantern. I bestow it upon you today. I hope you use this treasure well; it will protect you when you walk in the human world, but do not be controlled by selfish desires."

After saying this, Empress Nuwa gave a light push, and the Lotus Lantern floated leisurely toward Yang Chan.

Watching the Lotus Lantern flickering with a pure, dreamlike halo, it felt very warm, making Yang Chan feel very at ease.

She stretched out her hands to carefully receive the Lotus Lantern, feeling a warm and powerful force instantly spread throughout her body.

"Thank you, Empress, for the treasure." Holding the Lotus Lantern in her hand,

Thinking for a moment, Empress Nuwa reminded her again: "The lotus heart of the Lotus Lantern is the wick. If you need cultivation at a critical moment, you can swallow it directly, which will allow you to possess one hundred thousand years of cultivation, but the Lotus Lantern will become a useless lamp from then on. I hope you know this."

Yang Chan held the Lotus Lantern, her gaze as firm as a rock.

"Empress, rest assured, Yang Chan will use the Lotus Lantern well and will not fail the Empress's high expectations."

Empress Nuwa looked at her, her eyes full of expectations.

"I have ordered Jin Ning to wait for you outside; she will send you out. Go."

Yang Chan saluted Empress Nuwa again, turned around, and walked toward the outside of the palace.

On the other side.

Having obtained the Phantom Color Treasure Carriage, Gu Xiu was full of excitement and immediately took it out, summoning the Water and Fire Qilin.

Sitting on the Phantom Color Treasure Carriage, he let the two Qilins pull the carriage to roam through the Three Realms.

The Water and Fire Qilin roared in unison, took vigorous steps, and pulled the Phantom Color Treasure Carriage, racing toward the horizon like a brilliant meteor.

Gu Xiu sat leisurely in the Phantom Color Treasure Carriage, the breeze blowing gently; it was very comfortable.

Wherever the treasure carriage passed, it left behind trails of colorful light, causing all living beings in the Three Realms to turn their heads and look.

Suddenly, a shadow abruptly enveloped them, instantly swallowing all the light around the treasure carriage.

Gu Xiu looked up abruptly, only to see a huge Peng bird spreading its wings, like clouds hanging from the sky, blocking the sun and sky as it swept across from above.

"Peng bird?"

Seeing the Peng bird, Gu Xiu thought of Kunpeng.

But Kunpeng was currently hiding in the North Sea, so it certainly wasn't Kunpeng.

"Could it be Yuyi Xian?"

Thinking that the Seven Attendant Immortals were vacant, Tong Tian wanted Yuyi Xian to replace Dingguang Xian.

It was just that after Yuyi Xian accidentally killed Dingguang Xian, he fled Penglai Immortal Island.

Currently, the trajectory of the Investiture of the Gods was starting to become chaotic. If Yuyi Xian ran around and was tricked by Randeng into becoming his disciple, that would be one more enemy.

Such a good fighter must be made to join the Jie Sect. Thinking this, he chased after him.
