Chapter 44

Secret realm, a palace.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were staying in the courtyard of the palace, planting some spiritual herbs and flowers.

Ever since they died and were canonized, although they possessed the ability of immortality, the path to wanting to cultivate like ordinary powerhouses and improve their strength was almost cut off.

Because they simply could not improve their strength.

So cultivation is something they don't need to do.

Of course, over the long years, they would still occasionally cultivate; after all, although their strength could not grow, the use of some techniques could still be improved.

It can only be said that regarding cultivation base, they were originally Da Luo Golden Immortals, and now, they are still Da Luo Golden Immortals.

Compared to the time of the Investiture of the Gods, their strength has not changed at all.

However, for Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and others, although they were unwilling at first, they gradually adapted as time passed.

After all, this is an unchangeable destiny.

Saints cannot do anything, let alone them.

Thinking more, what is the use?

It is just that Bixiao among them would sometimes go to the Heavenly Court to walk around; after all, Bixiao, who is lively by nature, does not want to stay in one place all the time.

It is precisely because of this.

That she would meet Sun Wukong and discover the existence of the grocery store.

To a certain extent, perhaps this is destiny.

"Mm, it’s Bixiao; Bixiao is back." Yunxiao revealed a motherly smile.

As the eldest sister, Yunxiao’s personality is still of the gentle type.

"This little girl actually came back; I don't even know how long she stayed outside." Qiongxiao shook her head. "I was worried about whether she would be caught by someone."

"Sister, big news." A ray of light flashed and fell before Yunxiao and the others; it was Bixiao, wearing green clothes.

At this moment, Bixiao’s expression still carried a little excitement.

In the grocery store, the Investiture of the Gods Amnesty Token made her excited just thinking about it; as long as she has enough exchange points, she can exchange for that thing and let herself break free from the Investiture of the Gods.

Naturally, Bixiao would also tell her sisters about this matter.

On one hand, as a relative, Bixiao would not swallow this news alone; on the other hand, it is also because the treasures in Bixiao’s hands seem to be not many.

"Big news." Qiongxiao smiled. "Bixiao, you are still like the past, startled and jumpy; for people like us, what else can count as big news?"

Even if another Great Calamity happens, for Qiongxiao and others, it is not big news.

After all, as disciples of the Jie Sect, they had long experienced such things.

Now, there is nothing that can cause fluctuations in their hearts.

"Sister, this time it is really big news." Bixiao said repeatedly.

"Oh, Bixiao, then tell me, what big news is there?" Qiongxiao laughed.

She wanted to see what the big news in her sister’s mouth would be.

In the past, Bixiao occasionally performed like this, but the things she said were really not big news.

"I met a senior, a Saint—no, that seems to be a senior who transcends Saints." Bixiao said quickly.

In the grocery store, Bixiao saw the Chaos Bell; that is a legendary thing that can rival the treasures in the hands of Saints.

In the entire Primordial World, there are only three innate supreme treasures.

After the great decisive battle between the Wu and Demon clans, the Chaos Bell had vanished, yet now it appeared directly in the grocery store.

If it were only the Chaos Bell, Bi Xiao would not have thought Wu Feng was a Saint, or perhaps an existence surpassing a Saint.

This was because after seeing the Chaos Bell, she saw another treasure: the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Axe.

The Pangu Axe was the weapon of the Great God Pangu.

Who was the Great God Pangu? Legend says that after fighting countless demon gods in the Chaos, he eventually perished.

Yet his body transformed into the current Primordial World.

Most of the living beings in the Primordial World evolved from the remains of Pangu's body.

Even she, Bi Xiao, was no exception.

The legendary Three Pure Ones, including her teacher, the Sect Leader Tongtian, were formed from the transformation of one of the Great God Pangu's Primordial Spirits.

It was precisely because she saw the Pangu Axe that Wu Feng's status in Bi Xiao's heart grew higher and higher.

"Surpassing a Saint?" Qiong Xiao was stunned for a moment. She looked at Bi Xiao as if she were looking at a fool. "Bi Xiao, did you bump your head somewhere? Are you talking nonsense now? Surpassing a Saint—how could you possibly meet such a person?"

Surpassing a Saint—that would seem to apply only to the legendary Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Bi Xiao met the teacher of the Sect Leader Tongtian; was that even possible?

"Second Sister, there is nothing wrong with my brain; I am perfectly normal right now," Bi Xiao said, enunciating every word. "I really did meet a senior who surpasses the Saints."

"Oh, fine, you met one then." Qiong Xiao nodded, though her expression remained dismissive.

This made Bi Xiao realize that her second sister still did not believe her.

"I really did meet him!" Bi Xiao said loudly. "Why don't you believe me?"

"Bi Xiao, what happened after that?" Yun Xiao interjected.

"Eldest Sister is the only one who is reasonable," Bi Xiao said, nodding quickly. "Unlike Second Sister, whose tongue is so sharp."

"..." Qiong Xiao's willow-leaf eyebrows twitched; she wanted to teach this younger sister of hers a lesson.

"Eldest Sister is the smart one. Afterward, I saw something in the senior's shop: a God-Conferring Edict," Bi Xiao said slowly.

"God-Conferring Edict?" Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao were taken aback.

They had never heard of this.

However, they still had fresh memories of the "God-Conferring" event.

It was precisely because they had experienced the God-Conferring Great Calamity that they ended up in their current state.

They had become one of the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court.

Although Haotian, because of the Sect Leader Tongtian, would not casually order these disciples of the Jie Sect around,

regardless of how one put it, compared to the past, they had long since lost their freedom.

So, did the God-Conferring Edict that Bi Xiao mentioned have anything to do with the Investiture of the Gods?

But even if it were related, what connection did it have to them?

"Yes, it is the God-Conferring Edict. You probably don't know the function of the God-Conferring Edict, do you?" Bi Xiao giggled. "Let me tell you, if you use the God-Conferring Edict, you can break free from the Investiture of the Gods and reshape your physical body. That way, we wouldn't need to be bound within the Investiture of the Gods and be some kind of Heavenly Court deity."

"What?" Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao were both shocked.
