From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

Xiao Minghuang responded. She found that Luo Qianhua had a deep understanding of the rules of the Holy Academy and even knew these details by heart.

She picked up the jade slip and tried to put it into her storage bag, but suddenly found that the storage bag could not be opened.

Luo Qianhua smiled and reminded: "Princess, don't try. In order to prevent disciples from taking out the skills privately, storage bags cannot be used here. We can only carry them ourselves."

"I see."

Xiao Minghuang smiled to hide his embarrassment, and with a thought, he sent out a ball of spiritual power to wrap the jade slip and hung it by his side.

"let's go!"

Afterwards, the two registered at the deacon's office and left the Sutra Library.

The two parted outside the Sutra Repository.

Luo Qianhua was a little reluctant and reminded: "Princess, don't miss the trip to the ancient tomb of the Quasi Emperor of Dongling in a month!"

Xiao Minghuang nodded: "Don't worry, I will contact you before departure. During this period, you should practice well and improve your strength as soon as possible, and strive to break through to the King Realm."

"Thank you for your kind words, Princess."

Luo Qianhua said with a smile that she had been accumulating strength at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm for many years and was now only one opportunity away from breaking through to the King Realm. Maybe she could really break through during this period.

"See you in a month!"

Xiao Minghuang clasped his fists and waved, then turned and left.

"goodbye..."

Luo Qianhua stood there, looking at Xiao Minghuang's back. Her expression gradually calmed down. A trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and then she walked in another direction.

She went to a remote town through the teleportation array, and then walked towards the depths of an even more remote mountain range until she entered a hidden cave.

The cave was pitch black. She flicked her fingertips and a flame ignited at her fingertips, illuminating the surroundings.

Deep inside the cave, there is a platform about ten feet high, engraved with complex array patterns. It looks weird and is completely unlike the Xuanmen orthodox way of Zhongtian Dongji. Instead, it is full of evil spirits.

Luo Qianhua had an expressionless face. She stretched out her hand and a drop of blood flew out from her fingertips and landed on the formation in the center of the platform.

As the blood was injected, the formation glowed with a faint pink light, and an illusory figure emerged. It was the figure of a beautiful middle-aged woman.

305. Holy Maiden of Hehuan!

The beautiful woman was dressed in a light gauze, her clothes revealing her body, and she had a charming temperament. To use the words of the orthodox Taoism, one could tell at first glance that she was not a good girl.

Luo Qianhua knelt on the ground, very humble.

"Master, I am here to answer your call."

She stared at Luo Qianhua for a while, and asked in a cold voice: "Hehuan Dao Saint Luo Qianhua, do you still remember your mission?"

"Of course I remember. I have received great kindness from my master since I was five years old. I have no way to repay him. I went to the Eastern Saint Academy with a clean background to lurk, just to gain the trust of the upper echelons of the Saint Academy and gradually find out the current situation of the Eastern Saint Emperor Zhongtian!"

Luo Qianhua answered without hesitation.

The beautiful woman frowned, looking dissatisfied, and said, "That's not what I meant. I sent you to Dongji just for training. Besides, if you want to know the recent situation of the Emperor of Dongji, don't even think about it if you don't have the Saint Realm."

"You are just wasting time if you stay in Dongji. The Saint of Hongchen Dao is now in the realm of virtual saint, and is only half a step away from becoming a saint. He needs your essence to successfully become a saint. Don't delay, return to Nanhuang as soon as possible and marry the Saint of Hongchen Dao."

Among the six evil paths of the Southern Wilderness, there are very few disciples of the Red Dust Demon Path, but each generation is extremely powerful. As long as they do not die young, they can at least become quasi-emperors. It’s only because their inheritance is extremely perverted that they need to kill their loved ones to achieve their own path.

Hearing this, Luo Qianhua's face turned pale instantly, and panic flashed in her eyes.

She asked in a trembling voice: "Master, can I...refuse?"

She was originally the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Dongji. Her father got into trouble with a group of bandits and her whole family was killed. Fortunately, she was rescued by her master who passed by and avenged her parents.

Luo Qianhua thought she had met an immortal cultivator who hated evil, but she didn't expect to meet the Silver Kui Demon King of the Nanhuang Hehuan Dao, whom she called her master.

The reason why he saved her and avenged her was only because she was an extremely rare Heavenly Desire Holy Body, with pure and flawless Heavenly Desire Holy Power in her body. This kind of physique did not have any special features in combat, and the only characteristic was that the progress of cultivation was faster.

In addition, once combined with the Heavenly Desire Holy Body, one can gain great benefits, as it is a natural furnace physique.

Luo Qianhua knew in her heart that although she was the Saint of the Hehuan Dao in name, she was actually just a pawn of the Yinkui Demon King and could be abandoned at any time.

Giving her to the Holy Son of Red Dust Dao would be considered as gaining a great favor from Red Dust Dao, and this deal is very cost-effective.

Seeing that Luo Qianhua was silent and hesitant, the Silver Kui Demon King dropped a bombshell.

"Hehe, I saved you and your sister back then and left you in Dongji, but I took your sister back to Nanhuang. You don't forget it, do you?"

Luo Qianhua was shocked when she heard this, her beautiful eyes widened: "You, what did you do to her?"

She knew that the Silver Sunflower Demon King was threatening her sister.

Luo Qianhua's younger sister, named Luo Qianrui, was also her only relative. After being taken back to the Southern Wilderness by the Silver Kui Demon King, they never saw each other again.

For countless days and nights, she missed her sister so many times, but she could never see her.

"Don't be nervous. I admire her very much and even accepted her as my personal disciple. How could I do anything bad to her?"

Demon King Yinkui said with a wry smile that, in fact, she remembered Luo Qianhua, whom she had not contacted for many years, just because she did not want to sacrifice Luo Qianrui, a disciple with whom she had already developed feelings.

Speaking of her sister, Luo Qianhua seemed to have gained courage all of a sudden and asked, "Master, I want to see Xiao Rui!"

The Silver Sunflower Demon King stared at her, making her hair run all over, and then he said slowly: "You can see her, but you have to return to the Southern Wasteland and marry the Holy Son of the Red Dust Dao."

This was obviously asking her to come back and die, but Luo Qianhua only had her sister as a relative, and she really wanted to see her sister.

"Agree for now, until you see your sister."

Luo Qianhua thought to herself that she was in the Dongji Holy Academy. Even if the Yinkui Demon King had great magical powers, it was impossible for him to cross the boundary and break into the Holy Academy to take her away, so she still had a certain degree of initiative.

She gritted her teeth and responded, "Disciple is willing!"

The Silver Sunflower Demon King nodded, waved his hand, and a round mirror appeared.

A palace appeared in the mirror, in which sat a girl dressed in light pink gauze. Her appearance was exactly the same as Luo Qianhua, but her temperament was completely different.

The woman had a petite figure and delicate skin, as white and delicate as fine jade, with a hint of translucence. Her long, beautiful black hair was loose, and although she was not very old, she was full of allure, as if she was born with such charm.

"Xiao Rui!"

The moment she saw the girl, Luo Qianhua couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. She had waited for so long and finally saw her biological sister.

But no matter how she called out, the girl in the mirror did not respond, but just practiced quietly.

"Don't cry, this is just a video talisman that projects the scene in the Hehuan Road. When you return to the Southern Wilderness, you will naturally be reunited with your sister."

The calm voice of the Silver Sunflower Demon King sounded.

Luo Qianhua calmed down, but she was struggling in her heart.

If she really listened to the words of Demon King Silver Kui and returned to Southern Wilderness, she would surely die, and it was hard to say whether her sister would be in danger.

If she didn't go back to Southern Wilderness, she wouldn't encounter any danger in the Holy Academy, but the Silver Sunflower Demon King would most likely replace her with his sister and marry the Holy Son of Red Dust Dao.

Just as she was hesitating, the Silver Sunflower Demon King continued, "In a month, a quasi-emperor ancient tomb will be opened in Dongling. The Red Dust Dao Saint will lead several young talents from the Southern Wasteland to go there, and your sister will be among them. At that time, you must cooperate with the Saint Son to act as an internal response."

"You should be twenty years old this year. If you don't want the Heavenly Desire Holy Power to erupt, then you should obediently follow my arrangements. I will then give you the Heavenly Desire Hehuan Pill to suppress the Heavenly Desire Holy Power. I will also preserve your true spirit when the Red Dust Dao Saint Son enters the realm of sainthood, and then rebuild your physical body so that we can continue on our journey."

Luo Qianhua didn't pay much attention to the long speech of Demon King Yinkui and only heard the first sentence.

One month later, my sister will go to the ancient tomb of the Quasi-Emperor in Dongling!

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

She would stop at nothing and try every possible means to keep her sister in Dongji and not let her go back to that devil's cave in Nanhuang!

Thinking of this, Luo Qianhua stood up suddenly and bowed to the Silver Sunflower Demon King: "Thank you for your grace, Master. I swear to be loyal to you until death, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

The Silver Sunflower Demon King smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you obey Master's arrangements, Master will not treat you unfairly."

She actually knew in her heart that Luo Qianhua's attitude was just a performance, but so what?

She doesn't care.

When the Holy Son of Red Dust Dao arrives in person, all the younger generation of Dongji in the Quasi-Emperor's Tomb will be slaughtered. By then, even if Luo Qianhua is unwilling, she will be taken away by the Holy Son!

As for Luo Qianhua not going to the Quasi-Emperor’s Tomb...there is no possibility!

That was her chance to meet Luo Qianrui, how could she give it up? !

"After entering the Tomb of the Quasi-Emperor, the Holy Son will contact you. Just be ready to respond."

After saying this, the figure of Silver Sunflower Demon King disappeared.

Luo Qianhua took a deep breath and tried hard to control her excitement. After calming down, she slowly stood up with a determined look in her eyes.

According to what the Silver Sunflower Demon King said, the Holy Son of the Red Dust Dao is already in the realm of Void Saint, that is, the twelfth level of the Realm of Life and Death King. This is far from being a powerful enemy that she can contend with.

Even if she breaks through to the King Realm within this month, there is absolutely no possibility of winning!

Then the only one she can rely on is Princess Xiao!

"I'm sorry... I'm plotting against you again. As a reward, I will give you everything I have..."

306. One Step Late

Sun Palace.

In a small courtyard full of spiritual energy.

Xiao Minghuang, dressed in a bright yellow dress, sat cross-legged in the quiet room, holding a sun token in her hand and meditating with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she opened her beautiful eyes and a strange light flashed in them.

"Hmm, interesting, there are so many secret caves in these two halls."

Xiao Minghuang murmured softly, and tapped in the air with her slender jade fingers. Then, pictures unfolded rapidly, showing the secret areas of the Sun God City and the Moon God City.

These images were projected through the formation contained in the token. Each image was lifelike and indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Not only are there secret realms specifically for fighting and training, there are also secret realms for increasing the speed of cultivation, and there are also secret realms specifically for practicing different methods."

There are hundreds of secret realms related to the most mainstream Five Elements!

The second most common magic weapon is swordsmanship, and there are dozens of related secret realms!

There are also many secret realms for other things like body refining, numerology, and alchemy, presenting a trend of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.

Xiao Minghuang was very interested: "Such training conditions are simply too good. No wonder all the major holy places and noble families would send disciples to join the Holy Academy."

Although the holy lands' aristocratic families have ancient traditions, they often stick to their own ways. Except for a few close allies, they will never exchange traditions with each other, so these sects only have a few kinds of traditions.

Among the many secret realms, Xiao Minghuang noticed two adjacent secret realms named "Taiyin" and "Taiyang".

According to the brief description on the map, these two secret realms were left by an ancient sage. They simulate the postures of the sun and the moon in the starry sky. They are excellent places for cultivation for monks who practice related Taoist methods.

"I am now preparing to practice the Great Sun and Moon Sutra. I just happened to go to these two secret realms for retreat. I will try to master it before the Quasi-Emperor Tomb is opened, and use it to break through to the King Realm."

Xiao Minghuang said in his heart.

To break through the King Realm from the Spirit Transformation Realm, three conditions need to be met, namely, the perfection of essence, energy and spirit. To elaborate, this means the perfection of body refining, energy refining and spirit refining.

Ordinary cultivators would break through when they reach the tenth level in the physical body realm, so they would not be able to achieve perfection. They would need to replenish their physical bodies through other means at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation realm. However, Xiao Minghuang did not need to do so, as her physical body had already been perfected.

The so-called Qi Refining means that one's own spiritual roots must have reached at least the Heavenly Level. If it is lower, one will not be able to successfully condense the Life and Death Platform.

Generally speaking, the more spiritual roots there are and the higher their grade, the more layers of the life and death platform that can be condensed, and the higher the realm of the king realm that can be reached.

Before this, Wang Cheng stopped at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and was reluctant to break through. He was preparing the divine objects of heaven and earth, preparing to complete his spiritual roots into heavenly grade five elements spiritual roots.

The last step is to refine the spirit, which does not require so many requirements. You just need to wait for your own spirit to grow to the same size as your main body, which means that the spirit is complete, that is, the peak of the spirit transformation realm.

Therefore, Xiao Minghuang has now met the conditions for impacting the King Realm, and her Heavenly Grade Five Elements spiritual roots have reached the highest grade of spiritual roots. Once she breaks through the King Realm, her realm will certainly not stop at the first level of the King Realm!

The reason for not making a breakthrough is that you have not thought about the future path you want to take.

Previously, the Lord of the Sun Temple suggested that she choose one from the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but she wanted to practice both.

What she had to do now was to maintain the purity of her physique, otherwise the Taoism in her body would not be balanced when she broke through the King Realm, and there would be a risk of Taoism disorder and spiritual energy backflow.

"It seems that I can only abandon my Fire Spirit Body first and break through the King Realm first. When I am ready to enter the Saint Realm, I will collect the divine objects of heaven and earth to complete my Five Elements physique."

Xiao Minghuang thought to herself that she tried to use the "Great Sun and Moon Sutra" to break through to the king realm, but the fire spirit body was not only not a help, it would even cause a conflict. Now she had no choice but to give up.

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang stood up and headed towards the Taiyin-Taiyang Secret Realm.

She first arrived at the entrance to the Taiyin Secret Realm.

There is an inn here, which is used for disciples entering and leaving the secret realm to register and rest, but the door is closed at this time.

There was a notice on the door. Xiao Minghuang went in to take a look and saw that it read:

The Taiyin Secret Realm opens on July 15th every year and is closed at other times.
