Chapter 46

Yang Chan hung quietly in the air, her body radiating a sacred and inviolable aura.

The Lotus Lantern in her hand bloomed with five-colored light.

It soon attracted the attention of the guards, who looked up one after another, and exclamations rose and fell.

"Look! What is that?"

"Could it be a deity manifesting?"

In the panic, someone hurriedly ran into the temple to report.

At this time, Di Xin inside the temple was reflecting on himself with Su Daji. Hearing the commotion outside, he frowned, his face full of displeasure.

"What is all this noise about?"

Daji coquettishly leaned into King Zhou's arms: "Your Majesty, do not be angry. Your concubine will accompany you to go out and see."

Di Xin walked out of the main hall with Daji and looked up to see Yang Chan holding the Lotus Lantern in the air. He was stunned for a moment, shocked by Yang Chan's world-tilting beauty and the magical light of the Lotus Lantern.

Daji, however, had a flash of jealousy and vigilance in her eyes, and said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know where this woman came from, to be so bold as to disturb your peace."

Only then did Di Xin come back to his senses and asked loudly: "Who comes? How dare you trespass into the Holy Mother Temple and disturb my peace."

Yang Chan held the Lotus Lantern, her expression solemn, and her clear voice echoed over the Nuwa Temple.

"By the decree of Empress Nuwa, the matter of Di Xin writing a poem in the Nuwa Temple is unforgivable. However, Empress Nuwa is merciful and is willing to give him a chance to reflect. If Di Xin is diligent in government and loves his people in the future and becomes a wise king, this matter can be left unpursued. If he insists on going his own way, everything he saw in his dreams will become reality."

The voice was crisp and powerful, every word like a great bell, shocking people's hearts and spreading throughout Zhaoge City. The originally azure sky was shrouded in a brilliant golden light.

Five-colored auspicious clouds gathered toward the Nuwa Temple from all directions, churning and surging, changing into various strange phenomena, such as auspicious Qilins, spreading-winged Phoenixes, flowers falling from the sky...

At the same time, the Black Bird representing the fortune of Zhaoge also began to appear, becoming tangible and soaring in the sky above Zhaoge.

Hearing this decree and seeing the auspicious scene in the sky, as well as the statue of Nuwa now radiating sacred light, Di Xin knew it was indeed a Saint's decree.

"Zi Shou thanks the Holy Mother, thank you Holy Mother for your mercy. From now on, I will definitely be a wise king, diligent in government and loving my people."

Daji was pale with fright on the side, clutching Di Xin's sleeve tightly. She did not expect that Yang Chan had come with Empress Nuwa's decree; she had almost offended someone just now.

Hearing Di Xin's words, she also hurriedly saluted and said in a coquettish voice.

"Daji also accepts the decree; Daji will definitely assist the King well."

Yang Chan said no more and looked at the situation in Zhaoge City.

Hearing Empress Nuwa's decree, the people in the city were all kneeling and worshiping.

A flash of light shone from her body, and she disappeared into the air.

Grand Preceptor's Mansion.

Wen Zhong also came out and knelt on one knee, looking at the Nuwa Temple with a solemn expression, full of respect.

He had been worried that Di Xin's previous behavior would anger Nuwa and had been thinking about how to appease the Saint's anger. But now that Nuwa had sent someone to convey the decree, as long as Di Xin became a wise king from now on, she would not pursue it, which made Wen Zhong's heart settle down.

"Thank you, Holy Mother, for your mercy."

"Wen Zhong will definitely make the King a wise king and not fail the late King's trust."

Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu was in his cave dwelling, going into seclusion to swallow the Huangzhong Li.

The Huangzhong Li melted upon entering his mouth, instantly turning into a majestic spiritual power that rampaged through his body.

And his cultivation also climbed continuously: Golden Immortal middle stage, late stage, peak stage...

Finally, after swallowing both Huangzhong Li fruits, Gu Xiu guided the majestic energy in his body to impact the bottleneck of the Golden Immortal realm.

Every impact was like hitting an indestructible wall of order.

The counter-shock force made his blood boil, but Gu Xiu had no intention of retreating.

He needed strength, stronger strength, to protect the Three Xiao sisters in the Investiture of the Gods.

With continuous impacts, beads of sweat as large as beans rolled down from Gu Xiu's forehead. He did not expect that impacting the shackles of the Golden Immortal realm would be so difficult.

But this also made his will even more determined. If he couldn't even pass this hurdle, how could he talk about the future?

Finally, under one impact after another, that stubborn iron wall showed fine cracks.

Golden light flashed in the cracks, as if on the other side of that wall was a new world.

Gu Xiu seized this fleeting opportunity, mobilized all his magic power, exhausted all his strength, and launched the final fierce attack.

Only a loud boom was heard, and the solid iron wall of order in his divine sea shattered completely. A powerful and pure power instantly filled his limbs and bones.

Gu Xiu's body bloomed with dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire cave.

Inside the cave dwelling, spiritual light shone, and the misty immortal energy flowed like substance.

Gu Xiu slowly opened his eyes, essence light flashing in his pupils, his aura as deep as the sea. He had successfully broken through the shackles of the Golden Immortal realm and reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Feeling the condition of his body, Gu Xiu's eyes revealed surprise.

"Is this the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm? It is indeed much stronger than the Golden Immortal realm."

Having just broken through, his realm was not yet stable, so Gu Xiu did not go out. He continued to sit cross-legged in place, adjusting his breathing, guiding the surging immortal spirit energy in his body to run steadily through his meridians, nourishing every inch of his body.

At this time.

Yang Chan had already arrived at Three Immortals Island from Zhaoge.

She originally thought she would see Yang Jian and Gu Xiu soon, but Yun Xiao told her that Yang Jian had gone out for training and Gu Xiu was in seclusion.

Upon hearing this, the joy of Yang Chan's journey here instantly dissolved quite a bit, so she had to be busy with her own affairs as before, and when she was bored, she would sit alone at the stone table and daydream.

In the courtyard, Yang Chan sat quietly at the stone table with a cup of tea in front of her. She rested her chin on one hand, her moth-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes a bit dazed, not knowing where her thoughts had drifted.

The breeze blew gently through her hair, but she was completely unaware.

Gu Xiu finished his seclusion and came out of the cave dwelling, in a great mood.

Seeing a beautiful figure sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, and seeing it was Yang Chan, he was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know when Yang Chan had returned.

Thinking for a moment, he walked up and called out.

"Yang Chan."

Yang Chan heard the sound, was slightly startled, turned her head as if waking from a dream, saw Gu Xiu, stood up from the stone table, and barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Immortal Elder, you have come out of seclusion."

Gu Xiu nodded, walked to her side, and sat down: "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

"I followed Empress Nuwa's decree to go to Zhaoge to convey the Empress's will, and wanted to come to Three Immortals Island to see the Immortal Elder and Second Brother. I didn't expect that Second Brother had already gone out for training, and the Immortal Elder was in seclusion. I had to wait here alone for Fairy Jin Ning to come and pick me up."

Then, Yang Chan told Gu Xiu the decree she conveyed in Zhaoge and the reason why Nuwa did so.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu smiled.

"When you return to the Palace of the Empress Wa, thank Empress Nuwa on my behalf."

"Immortal Elder, rest assured, I will tell Empress Nuwa."

Gu Xiu looked at the Lotus Lantern that Yang Chan had placed on the stone table, which was radiating a peaceful and warm light.

He didn't expect Nuwa to give the Lotus Lantern to Yang Chan so quickly.

He had changed some things, and he didn't know if Yang Chan could still become the Third Holy Mother.
