Hell Emperor.

Chapter 340 Su Miao-Foundation
"Turning the Golden Wheel... Where on earth is there a turning golden wheel?"

After a fruitless search at the Vajra Temple, Su Miao curled her lips, looking unhappy. Not being able to find the whereabouts of the Golden Wheel would affect the subsequent tasks.

If the mission failed and she was unable to retrieve her master's relics from the temple, she and Yao Yin would lose the qualification to return to the Temple of the Underworld, and they would probably have to carry the label of sinners forever.

On the flying sword, Li Fei'e supported his head with his hands, feeling a little bored for a moment, and the purple butterfly on his shoulder was also listless.

After the initial search was fruitless, the group continued to go to several places where the golden wheels might be found. However, the final result still disappointed them greatly. The golden wheels that had originally existed there had now all disappeared, leaving only the platform where the golden wheels had once been placed.

This situation also made Li Fei'e secretly suspicious. Could it be that the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace knew in advance that several people were coming and took the Golden Wheel away on purpose?

Not knowing how long he had been sitting on the flying sword, Li Fei'e simply lay down with his arms and legs spread out, his back leaning against the hard and cold sword, with some thoughts running through his mind.

After not seeing each other for a few days, I don't know how Xia Wei and the others are doing. Have they successfully collected the refining materials? What if they encounter a difficult enemy? If they run into a demon fairy or an evil fairy, I'm afraid they will have to fight hard again...

While thinking, Li Fei'e suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to Su Miao's side.

"what happened?"

Seeing Li Fei'e approaching, Su Miao smiled. During the days they spent together, she and Li Fei'e had similar personalities and could always talk to each other, and their relationship was particularly harmonious.

"Sister Su Miao, do you know where the Ascension Conference is held recently?" Li Fei'e asked curiously.

"Ascension Conference? There is, but why are you asking this?" Su Miao raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Li Fei'e did not hide the truth and immediately told the truth: "It is like this, not long ago we got an Ascension Order from the enemy. As long as we take this order to the Ascension Conference, we can immediately ascend to the immortal throne."

"Really?" Su Miao was slightly surprised and asked with interest, "Where is the Ascension Order? Show it to me."

Li Fei'e did not answer, but looked expectantly at his master who was flying a sword beside him. The meaning was very clear, the token was now in Shen Qingge's hand.

Shen Qingge heard the conversation between the two, thought about it, then took out the token and showed it to Su Miao.

After observing it for a while, Su Miao also confirmed the authenticity of the Ascension Order and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really is the Ascension Order... It seems that you are very lucky to have such an opportunity and even get the Ascension Order."

Su Miao, who once held an important position in the Netherworld Palace, was no stranger to the Ascension Order and was familiar with the Ascension process.

At the end, Su Miao's eyes also fell on Shen Qingge, and reminded him: "It seems that you have already decided who will use this Ascension Order. I would like to state in advance that the method of ascension also requires overcoming the thunder tribulation. If you are not prepared in advance, when the thunder tribulation comes, I am afraid that you will be reduced to ashes. If you can't resist the thunder tribulation, it is better to take the method of reincarnation to avoid the tribulation."

Shen Qingge spoke slowly: "Thank you for the reminder, Master. I am ready and have no worries about the thunder tribulation. I was an immortal in my previous life. I don't know how many levels I have cultivated, but this mere thunder tribulation cannot do anything to me."

"That's good." Seeing this, Su Miao was relieved. At least she didn't have to worry about the thunder tribulation. "In that case, I will take you to find the star god of this place, and you will become an immortal soon."

Shen Qingge was slightly stunned. Things seemed to be a little different from what she thought: "Master Su Miao, shouldn't we go to the Ascension Conference?"

"The Ascension Conference?" Su Miao curled her lips, her eyes revealing a bit of disdain. "That is prepared for people with shallow foundations, but you are different. You are the descendant of Xuannv. You can just take the Ascension Order to find Xingjun."

"Is it that simple?" After hearing Su Miao's words, Li Fei'e opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief, "I heard that the Ascension Conference is very special. Even if you have the Ascension Order, it is not enough. In order to prove your qualifications, you must go through all kinds of difficulties and tests before you can ascend to become an immortal. But why is it so simple in Sister Su Miao's words?"

Su Miao smiled and said, "A few of the people who attend the Ascension Conference are practitioners who have been praised for maintaining order on earth for the Heavenly Court. Most of them are descendants of the immortals. They are poorly qualified, have no talent, or are just very stubborn. If they were gifted, they would have already broken through the realm and become immortals with their own strength. Why would they come to this Ascension Conference? If they don't have this Ascension Order, I'm afraid they will never become immortals in their lifetime. They can only waste their lives in the Ox and Horse Realm and the Impermanence Realm. Of course, the immortal officials will not like them."

The undisguised contempt in Su Miao's eyes made Xie Xinyu cover her mouth secretly. Once upon a time, in Guangwang Palace, a fourth-rank impermanence could act tyrannically and enjoy the admiration of thousands of ghosts, but in Su Miao's eyes, those were just inferior existences.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Miao continued, "You are the descendants of Xuannv, and you are different from others. Even though you haven't become immortals yet, you have the support of the ancestors of all generations. Even if the Star God sees you, he will definitely not dare to embarrass you."

Su Miao's words also gave Li Fei'e some confidence. He had long known that the Xuannv family was wealthy and powerful, but he had never expected that Xuannv's identity would be so useful. He could not help but exclaimed:

"Since it's so easy to ascend to immortality, I'll also use the Ascension Order to ascend in the future!"

Before Li Fei'e could finish her words, Su Miao pinched her face hard, causing her to cry out in pain: "Sister Su Miao, what are you doing?"

"The Ascension Order is not that easy to use. The sect has clear regulations prohibiting the descendants of Xuannv from using the Ascension Order to ascend to become immortals privately." Su Miao replied unhappily.

Li Fei'e puffed up her lips, looking unwilling: "But Master can obviously use it..."

Su Miao glanced at Shen Qingge and said, "Your master has already cultivated to the peak of the Sealed Immortal Realm and is only half a step away from breaking through to become an immortal. He has already proved his potential. If he wants to break through to become an immortal, he only needs to accumulate immortal essence over a long period of time. In this case, it is allowed to use the Ascension Order. As for you... I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to cultivate to the peak of the Sealed Immortal Realm."

Li Fei'e stuck out her tongue helplessly. She remembered that her master had said something similar not long ago. In short, she just couldn't use the Ascension Order. This made Li Fei'e wilted and looked listless.

Su Miao patted her shoulder and said, "Many practitioners think that becoming an immortal is all there is to cultivation, but that's not the case. There are nine levels above immortals, and the Immortal Ascension Order can only give you a first-level immortal status. You still have to rely on yourself to improve your realm in the future. Using the Immortal Ascension Order too early will only help you in spurring growth, and your foundation will not be solid, which will not be good for your future."

Sensing the concern in Su Miao's words, Li Fei'e nodded vigorously: "Sister Su Miao's advice, I will definitely remember it in my heart. Besides, there is only one Ascension Order. Once Master uses it, it will be gone. I am just talking."

Su Miao smiled: "Who said there is only one Ascension Order? I remember there are a lot of them stored in the sect. Well, Sister Fei'e, I promise you, if you can cultivate to the peak of the Sealed Immortal Realm, I will take the initiative to get you an Ascension Order from the sect to help you become an immortal!" Li Fei'e was overjoyed and immediately saw hope. With Su Miao's assurance, becoming an immortal did not seem to be far away anymore.

While the two were talking, Shen Qingge remained silent. After hearing that becoming an immortal was just around the corner, her calm heart began to ripple a little. Chaotic thoughts kept emerging in her mind, but were then gathered by her one by one.

Such restless thoughts are a manifestation of an unstable mind.

Shen Qingge sighed softly, not understanding why she, who used to be calm, was so uneasy now? Could it be that her cultivation was not yet complete?

Su Miao noticed her strangeness and said with a smile: "Sister Qingge, are you okay? Are you still worried about the thunder tribulation?"

Shen Qingge shook his head: "I'm not worried about the thunder tribulation, but how should I go on the road after becoming an immortal? The active and the quiet, the walker and the observer, the emotional and the non-emotional, where is the true way? In the past, I always felt that I had found my own way, but the more I practiced, the more confused I became, and I didn't know whether my way was right or wrong..."

Su Miao smiled calmly: "Don't worry, every immortal will encounter this kind of problem, but as long as you continue to practice, you will find the answer one day. Other people's answers are not applicable to you. Only your own perception is true."

Shen Qingge nodded slightly. Under Su Miao's guidance, he felt that all the confusion in his heart was swept away. The master was worthy of being the master. His insights in this regard were far beyond ordinary people.

"Don't look for the Golden Wheel yet. Let's go to the Eastern Star Palace now to help you ascend to become an immortal." Su Miao was full of confidence and spoke immediately.

Hearing this, Li Fei'e was a little worried: "Sister Su Miao, if we change the route to Xingxiu Palace now, will it delay your mission?"

Su Miao waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. Even if we really can't find the Golden Wheel and can't get any useful information in advance, when the King Kong City ruins are opened, with one more immortal, we will have a better chance of completing the mission."

Li Fei'e's worries did not diminish at all: "But after all, a day in heaven is a year on earth... I don't know how long it will take for Master to ascend to immortality. If there is a delay, by the time we come back, I'm afraid the opening of the King Kong City ruins will have already ended."

Su Miao was stunned and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "What you said makes some sense. If we delay the opportunity, it will be troublesome... In this case, let's not go to find the Star Lord, let the Star Lord come to us."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, even Shen Qingge showed a bit of surprise.

Shen Qingge was naturally aware of the reputation of the Star Lord. He was an immortal official appointed by the Heavenly Court. His status was much higher than that of ordinary immortals. It was like heaven and earth, one being as different as the other.

Now, the matter of ascension is something that requires the intervention of the Star Lord, and one should go to his house and ask for help with courtesy. But from what Su Miao said, it seems that this is not the case at all. Instead, the Star Lord has become someone who can be ordered around by her.

"This... isn't this too bad?" Shen Qingge said with some difficulty. After all, she was preparing to ascend to become an immortal. If the Star God was unhappy and didn't help her ascend, that would be troublesome.

Su Miao didn't take it to heart: "Don't worry, there are countless Star Lords who would like to help the descendants of Xuannv ascend to heaven, just to save face for the ancestors in the Heavenly Court. Behind you, there are more than a hundred generations of ancestors of the Xuannv Sect. How can ordinary descendants of immortals be compared with you?"

Hearing this, Li Fei'e agreed deeply. It was true that being born into a famous sect was different. Ordinary immortals could not enjoy such treatment.

Su Miao reached into her bosom and took out a crystal clear, brightly colored stone. She held the stone tightly in her palm and stimulated her mind. Soon she had an idea: "Okay, Xingxiu Palace has received my message. The Star Lord should be coming soon."

Li Fei'e looked curious, staring at the stone in Su Miao's hand, unable to move away: "Sister Su Miao, what is that?"

"You mean this Star Mind Stone? This is a message left to me by Grandmother Ming Ji. She told me that if I encounter any difficult problems, I can seek help from the Star Lord. Although this Star Mind Stone looks small, it is a real sixth-grade magic weapon that needs to be sacrificed before it can be used."

Su Miao did not hide it and took out the Star Stone to show it to Li Fei'e.

"Can I take a look?" Li Fei'e asked curiously. The Star Stone was smooth and warm, with a faint warm glow, which immediately attracted her attention. She couldn't help but wonder what the Star Stone felt like to touch.

Su Miao's eyes turned and she said, "Show me the purple butterfly on your shoulder, and I will lend you the Star Mind Stone."

Li Fei'e was startled and quickly covered the Youdie on his shoulder: "What do you want Youdie for?"

Su Miao waved her hands, with a stiff smile on her face: "Don't be so stingy, didn't you lend Youdie to Shurahong? It caused me to fail miserably in the competition and be kicked out of the Nether Spirit Palace. What's wrong with letting me see it? I won't hurt her..."

Feeling the strong resentment from Su Miao, Li Fei'e also felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was because of her lending the Ghost Butterfly that Su Miao lost the competition, so she said:

"Since Sister Su Miao has said so, then fine, Youdie is my companion butterfly. As long as it's someone I like, she won't hate me. There shouldn't be any problem..."

Li Fei'e patted his left shoulder lightly, and a ghostly butterfly fluttered up, flying around Su Miao for a few circles, and finally landed on the white fingertips of Su Miao's right hand. Li Fei'e got the Star Stone as he wished, and looked at it carefully.

"Youdie... So, you and Sister Fei Moth have the same feelings for each other. If you use it on the Nether Spirit Divine Art, a Nether Spirit magic weapon of the same grade will appear..."

Su Miao narrowed her eyes and stared at the Youdie in her hand. Her thoughts seemed to have returned to the day of the competition. In Shura Jie's hands, the Youdie transformed into the Star-Moon Linglong Moth, which left a deep impression on her.

Youdie and Shura Jie are very close and work well together. If what Li Fei'e said is true, then whether Li Fei'e uses the Nether Spirit Divine Art on Shura Jie or vice versa, a fourth-grade Nether Spirit magic weapon can be evolved. This discovery also made Su Miao look at Li Fei'e with a meaningful look in her eyes.
