From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

"The power of heaven and earth will eventually run out. You and I are just between zero and one. If you don't become one, you will become zero. What should the princess choose?"

...

In the end, Xiao Minghuang accepted Luo Qianhua's conditions.

This time at the Tiangang meeting, she will go on a killing spree.

However, the previous statement that she had to kill until only one in ten survived was a bit exaggerated.

To be precise, she was asked to take action and eliminate the elite disciples of the holy land.

Before leaving, Luo Qianhua gave her a large amount of spirit stones and elixirs as extra compensation.

After leaving Baiwen Pavilion, Xiao Minghuang did not return to the Second Courtyard, but went to Ye Ruoshui's cave with Lin Wanqiu.

In addition, Xu Xiu'er did not return to Baiwen Pavilion, but followed Xiao Minghuang.

According to her, she was to blame for Xiao Minghuang's misfortune. In order to atone her sin, she volunteered to continue to be the princess's maid as she did in the Xia Kingdom.

Although Xiao Minghuang said that she didn't blame her, Xu Xiuer insisted on doing so and she couldn't persuade her anymore.

Originally, Ye Ruoshui's cave was very small, with only a practice room, an alchemy room and a bedroom.

Now that four people are living here at once, it’s a bit small.

But the Tiangang Club was nearby and there was no time to expand it.

Therefore, the four of them had to face the problem of room allocation.

Xiao Minghuang looked at the three women standing in front of him, feeling quite helpless.

"There are three rooms, one for Xiu'er, and two are left. How do we divide them?"

Ye Ruoshui made a prompt decision: "What can I do? I want to live in the same room with His Highness!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Wanqiu and smiled sweetly: "Let Sister Lin live in a single room!"

"What are you talking about, Ruoshui, this cave originally belongs to Ruoshui, there is no reason for the owner to squeeze in with others, let me and Your Highness share the same room!"

277. The Third Contractor

Lin Wanqiu refused to admit defeat and argued with reason.

Looking at the two women's stabbings, Xiao Minghuang suddenly felt a headache. She might as well go back to the Second Hospital.

But after the previous hardships, she always felt that it was better for the family to stay together.

Just as she was struggling, Xu Xiuer, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Two...two sisters! I am His Highness's maid, and I should serve His Highness, so the two sisters can each have a room!"

She lowered her head and spoke in a very low voice, as if she had made a mistake, which made people feel pity for her.

"What?!" Ye Ruoshui suddenly widened her eyes, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widening.

Lin Wanqiu was also a little surprised.

Xu Xiuer's words were completely beyond her expectations.

Xiao Minghuang couldn't stand the way they looked at him like a heartless man, so she interrupted:

"Okay, hurry up and practice. The Tiangang Conference will be held in a month. You must seize the time to improve your strength and stop thinking about weird things!"

After Ye and Lin left, Xu Xiuer breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled: "No, no, I should thank Xiu'er for helping me out. They are a little ignorant, sorry to embarrass you."

Xu Xiuer quickly shook her head: "No way, both sisters care about His Highness very much. Xiuer is very envious of both sisters for having such a good Taoist partner like His Highness!"

"You, don't be fooled by them." Xiao Minghuang laughed, then sighed, "When it comes to eating coarse food, it's really deadly. If you are looking for a Taoist partner in the future, don't be fickle!"

"Yeah!" Xu Xiu'er's pretty face flushed: "I won't be like them!"

...

As night falls, the moonlight is as bright as water.

Xiao Minghuang sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the "Purple Star Emperor Dao Sutra" and breathing in the spiritual energy.

Before, she suddenly decided to have a room with Xu Xiuer, and it was not without reason.

Instead, her system was updated unconsciously, unlocking the third contractor seat, and after completing the contract, she would receive a special gift package.

That's why she kept Xu Xiuer.

Xiao Minghuang recalled the past and realized that she had known Xu Xiuer for many years. Although this girl's character was a little weak, she also had many advantages, such as being loyal, daring, kind and pure.

The most important thing is that Xu Xiu'er is also good-looking. If Lin Wanqiu is a lady from a wealthy family and Ye Ruoshui is sweet and lovely, then Xu Xiu'er is a beautiful girl from a small family.

Each has its own merits and style.

This is also the reason why she is willing to bind Xu Xiuer to become a contractor.

[Ding! It is detected that the host has successfully bound the third contractor. The system function will be upgraded and a special reward will be obtained! ]

【The system is being upgraded...】

[System upgrade completed! 】

Hearing the system prompt, Xiao Minghuang stopped practicing and turned on the system.

After a little research, she understood what the system meant by upgrading.

In the past, when she gave away opportunities, although it was not specified, she needed to give away opportunities that were roughly in line with her cultivation level.

In other words, if you give a spirit stone to someone else, there is an 80% chance that it will not be a critical hit and you can only return the minimum amount.

But after the system upgrade, the return reward is linked to the cultivation level of the recipient.

Giving low-level resources to low-level monks may also result in critical hits.

On the other hand, if the recipient of the gift does not need the gift at all, it cannot be called an opportunity. Even if it is given as a gift, one can only get a guaranteed reward but not a critical hit.

In addition, in order to avoid returning things that are completely useless, the return rewards will give people the opportunity to choose independently and will no longer be completely random.

After reading it, Xiao Minghuang looked thoughtful.

“Although there are pros and cons to the system upgrade, it is still more convenient overall.”

Next, she checked the system's special rewards.

Simply put, it is an opportunity to get a critical hit out of nowhere.

There is no need to make a gift, you can directly get a critical hit return reward for a treasure.

Xiao Minghuang thought about it and used this opportunity on the Tiangang Star Map.

Apart from the rusty sword of unknown grade, the most precious thing in her hand is this heavenly grade magic weapon.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully gifted an opportunity, return compensation: Small Zhoutian Star Map * 10! ]

"Small Zhoutian Star Chart?"

Hearing the prompt from the system, Xiao Minghuang was stunned for a moment, then he thought of the two small Zhoutian star maps he already had.

Including the two paintings returned by the system, there are a total of twelve paintings.

As we all know, twelve is a very special number to monks.

There are twelve months in a year and twelve hours in a day.

The number twelve is secretly in line with the Tao.

Xiao Minghuang believed that collecting all twelve pictures might lead to some changes.

So she took out the Small Zhoutian Star Map without hesitation.

The twelve pictures were lined up in a row, surrounding her, forming a huge circle. The stars in the sky were twinkling between the galaxies, like a dazzling star ring.

shuh~~

The twelve pictures flashed at the same time, then quickly disappeared, turning into a stream of light that shot into Xiao Minghuang's brows.

The next moment, she found herself standing in the galaxy.

There was a vast universe and an endless sea of ​​stars in all directions. It was as if she was in the vast universe, with stars floating around her.

These stars are not as desolate and cold as imagined. Instead, they are warm and gentle, making one feel as comfortable and relaxed as if one has returned to one's hometown.

"I see..."

Xiao Minghuang muttered to himself.

As a complete map of the small Zhoutian stars was pieced together, she gradually understood the truth of this magic weapon.

She currently has twelve pictures, each of which represents countless small stars. When put together, they form a complete small Zhoutian star map.

There are twelve formation diagrams like this, and only when they are combined together can they form a complete Great Zhoutian Star Map.

But this is not the final form of the magic weapon.

The twelve pictures of the Great Zhoutian Star Chart are only sub-pictures of the complete magic weapon.

It would be complete only if the main picture including the Tiangang Star Map is added and connected together.

Obviously, the main picture has more than one picture of the Tiangang stars. It should be composed of many different parts like the sub-pictures.

But just a fragment of a secondary picture is an earth-grade magic weapon, and just a fragment of a main picture is a heaven-grade magic weapon. If they are combined completely, how terrifying will it be?

Xiao Minghuang didn't think much about it and calmed herself down. Now, with the help of the Tiangang Star Map and the Small Zhoutian Star Map, she should be able to cope with the challenge of the Tiangang Meeting.

"But if I can break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm before the small meeting, I will be more confident."

Previously, under the exaggeration of Saint King Qingkong, the Tiangang Meeting was very dangerous. Xiao Minghuang also planned to make full preparations and try his best to improve his strength to the limit before participating in the competition.

Next, Xiao Minghuang passed the waste pills and rusty sword he had obtained earlier between Ye and Lin.

[Ding! Detected that the host successfully gifted an opportunity, please choose one of the following compensations:]

[1. The best earth-grade elixir, Tongyuan Fire Spirit Pill.]

【2. Five years of cultivation.】

[Note: If you choose to compensate for your cultivation, it will be equivalent to the upper limit of the host's current realm that can be achieved each year.]

278. Breakthrough to the Divine Realm

After seeing the new system panel, Xiao Minghuang thought for a while and finally chose cultivation.

She calculated that if she practiced in seclusion and completely absorbed the Tongyuan Fire Spirit Pill, the improvement she could get should be a little greater than directly gaining more cultivation base.

But there will be a Tiangang small meeting next month. If I go into seclusion, I might miss it, so it is better to take the course directly.

However, she still asked for caution.

"System, does the compensation need to be refined?"

[Ding! The cultivation level compensated by the system is no different from the cultivation level cultivated by the host himself. It does not need to be refined and can be directly absorbed. ]

Xiao Minghuang felt relieved, and then chose to compensate for his cultivation without hesitation.

hum!

A stream of pure cultivation instantly poured into her body, integrated into her limbs and bones, and flowed into her dantian.

However, in a short moment, her primordial fetus evolved into primordial spirit, and her dantian evolved into purple palace, and they were still expanding.

This process lasted for a long time before it slowly subsided.

Feeling the power filling his body, Xiao Minghuang's face was full of smiles.

In her Dantian... Purple Palace, there was a little person exactly like her suspended, about one tenth of her size, which meant that she had broken through the Yuantai realm and entered the Shenhua realm.

"I should be at the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm now."

The promotion from the Yuantai Realm to the Huashen Realm is only an advancement in realm, but it is a qualitative leap.

Xiao Minghuang thought to herself that with the help of the magic weapon Star Map and the field of swordsmanship, she would be invincible in the Spiritual Transformation Realm!

Next, she collected the reward for the rusty sword.

[Ding! Please choose one of the following rewards:]

【1. Random sword-shaped heavenly magic weapon. 】
