From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

"Of course I remember that the Immortal Lord Lanque Siming suddenly died, and the people from the heaven took away the source of the Lanque main world. I heard that the Lanque main world is now closed and does not communicate with the outside world. I don't know what the current situation is..."

"Actually, I heard that the angel from heaven who came to the Lanque main world to seize the world source was the Purple Star Immortal King!"

"Ah?! Is this true?!"

"...I'm not sure either, I just heard about it."

"Don't listen to it, let's go to the Lanque main world now to see if this is true!"

"Yes, yes, yes! If it's true, we can go through the Lanque main world and see if we can get in touch with the Immortal King!"

"Without further ado, let's go!"

......

the other side.

After the immortals retreated.

Xiao Minghuang did not immediately return to the Ziwei World to sort out the situation. Instead, she looked extremely nervous. She turned her gaze and looked beyond the distant stars, at an asteroid that was flickering with a faint light.

As her gaze moved, starlight flowed on her fingertips and runes jumped, as if they were always ready to shine with endless brilliance.

Wherever his eyes could see, there was clearly nothing, nor was there any special aura, but it made Xiao Minghuang feel as if he was on the edge of an abyss, walking on thin ice, as if in this vast deep hole, under the shining of these stars, there was an ancient, vast and great existence entrenched in it, exuding an endless sense of oppression.

"Whoo~"

Xiao Minghuang let out a long sigh, his eyes solemn.

Then, she spoke softly:

"Since the Heavenly Lord has arrived, why don't you show yourself and let the younger generation see his face?"

Her voice was very soft, like a whisper, or like a call, echoing in this ethereal place.

As she spoke, ripples appeared in the void, spreading in circles.

Wow~

Soon, a path made of illusion emerged, penetrating nothingness and reality and reaching the other side.

hum!

The next moment, Xiao Minghuang felt his feet on the ground, and the surrounding scene was rapidly receding, as if time and space were flowing backwards and he was out of this world!

After just a few breaths, everything in front of him became clear.

What came into view was a towering vine.

It spreads to the eight poles, with luxuriant branches and leaves, twisting and winding like dragons and snakes, and each section of the vine is covered with lush green leaves, as crystal clear as jade.

A stream of dense breath filled the air, turning into mist that rose up, filling the void and making people intoxicated.

Xiao Minghuang looked up and saw a magnificent palace standing on the top of the vines.

The Heavenly Palace was majestic, with layers upon layers, a total of 9,999 steps, and the whole body was dark gold. Every brick, every beam, and every floor tile was made of divine materials, engraved with array patterns, and mysterious. Indistinctly, it seemed that a 9,000-foot divine ring was covering the sky, with a dazzling divine brilliance and auspicious colors steaming.

Xiao Minghuang blinked.

When she opened her eyes again.

The surrounding scenery has changed.

She looked around and found that this was an extremely vast and strange palace filled with endless hazy light. Above the roof of the palace, hung a bright sun, casting infinite auspicious light, making the place look as beautiful as a dream.

In the hall, there was a figure standing with his hands behind his back.

This is a gorgeous girl, with extremely thin mist lingering all over her body. In a trance, there seems to be chaos lingering around her, making her extremely mysterious and ethereal.

Xiao Minghuang's eyes narrowed slightly, he couldn't see the girl's face clearly, he could only vaguely see that she was wearing a green shirt, with a slender and graceful figure, a thin waist, and her black hair fluttering in the wind, like a willow in the wind, as if in a dream.

But just this hazy figure made Xiao Minghuang feel the boundless majesty!

Even just standing there put Xiao Minghuang under tremendous pressure.

It was as if she was not facing a single person.

But facing a great existence that has existed since time immemorial.

Facing the vast and boundless universe and starry sky.

Facing a long river of time that rolls on without stopping, endlessly, burying countless living things from ancient times to the present!

The overwhelming feeling of oppression was so overwhelming that even Xiao Minghuang, an Immortal King, found it difficult to breathe and was unbearable.

And at this time.

A warm current suddenly emerged in her lower abdomen, supporting her body, and the pressure brought by the huge pressure was immediately relieved.

The same moment.

The girl slowly descended from a great height, her moon-white dress fluttering in the wind, her sleeves fluttering. She was barefoot, dancing like a fairy or a butterfly.

As the girl in green approached, a faint fragrance filled the air, causing Xiao Minghuang to sniffle.

The fragrance floats like a wisp of smoke, making people intoxicated and forgetting all their worries and everything.

The image of the young girl in green was reflected in her pupils. Although still hazy, it became clearer and clearer. Finally, she turned into an immortal with peerless beauty and alluring appearance.

What kind of girl is that?

She has bright eyes, white teeth, eyebrows as black as a painting, skin whiter than snow, a delicate nose and cherry lips. Her facial features are as delicate as a porcelain doll, especially her pair of bright black eyes, which seem to contain endless years and seem to be able to see through the past, present and future.

Especially her otherworldly temperament, which made her seem as if she was born to be superior to all living beings, as if she was the perfect combination of heaven and earth.

She stood there quietly, like a painting, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"Junior Xiao Minghuang, pays homage to the Heavenly Lord!"

Xiao Minghuang bowed and saluted, looking extremely respectful.

"Xiao Minghuang, you have great courage and potential."

The girl in green shirt opened her mouth, her voice was as sweet as a silver bell, and as beautiful as the sound of nature, yet majestic and heart-pounding.

Even without these words, Xiao Minghuang knew that the girl in front of him was undoubtedly the Heavenly Venerable.

In the Changsheng Heaven, she couldn't think of anyone else who could transfer her from the Cangming Star Region to this unknown place without her noticing and possess such tremendous pressure except Changsheng Tianzun, who had such means.

"What exactly is the Heavenly Lord going to do when he comes?"

This doubt flashed through Xiao Minghuang's mind, and he said respectfully: "Your Excellency is too kind. I am just lucky to have come this far by chance."

547. The Secret of the Emperor

"Luck?" The girl in green smiled and shook her head: "You are not lucky. In my opinion, luck is also a part of strength, and it is a decisive factor."

She stretched out a white and smooth hand, as if carved from white jade, from her sleeves, crossed the barrier of space, and gently touched the center of Xiao Minghuang's eyebrows.

hum!

In an instant, Xiao Minghuang's consciousness suddenly sank, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a gray mist.

She looked up and discovered that she was standing on the bank of a long river. The river was rushing and surging, with no one knowing where it came from or where it extended to.

In the surging river, one seems to be able to see countless living beings, some crying and wailing, some laughing and playing... Endless creatures are floating in this long river, and it seems that they will never end.

Under Xiao Minghuang's gaze, they gradually went away, disappeared in the endless torrent, and turned into bubbles.

"This is......"

"Time flows."

Along with the voice.

The figure of the girl in green, or the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, appeared beside Xiao Minghuang.

"All living things in the world are up and down in the long river of time."

As she spoke, she stretched out a tender, white, slender hand from her sleeve, reached into the rolling river water, stirred it slightly, squeezed it gently, and then withdrew her hand.

Swish!

A ray of spiritual light seemed to be drawn out by her and fell into the chaotic mist.

Feeling the breath of spiritual light, Xiao Minghuang was suddenly startled.

"This is... the true spirit of Immortal King Li Yan!"

"He should not die, he should live a second life."

The words fell.

Changsheng Tianzun flicked his fingertips lightly, and a beam of green light shot out, covering the true spirit of Li Yan Xianwang. Then it turned into a stream of light that shot up into the sky and disappeared in the vast chaos in an instant.

"He's going to have a great future."

After saying this, Changsheng Tianzun turned his gaze to Xiao Minghuang and said with a smile: "You should be curious, why didn't the Immortal King Li Yan die completely when he clearly gave you the Immortal King Dao Fruit?"

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

She was indeed curious, not only about the Immortal King Li Yan, but also about the Immortal King Da Jin Chang.

In the battle just now, she clearly destroyed all the remaining fragments of the Great Dao of the Great Jinchang Immortal King, but she had a vague intuition that the Great Jinchang Immortal King's true spirit did not seem to be truly extinct, but escaped.

Before this, she didn't have this feeling when she killed the Immortal King Bu Feng.

"You are correct in your suspicion."

Changsheng Tianzun explained: "The reason why the Immortal King is the Immortal King is because the Immortal King is fundamentally different from the cultivators below the Immortal King, and even the True Immortals and Immortal Lords."

“Whether it is a cultivator, a true immortal, or an immortal monarch, their path of cultivation is to cultivate and seek the Tao, because they themselves are outside of the Tao, so they seek it.”

"It's different with the Immortal King. He himself has already stood within the Dao. The so-called Dao fruit of the Immortal King is imprinted on the Great Dao and is regarded as a component of the Great Dao. Therefore, as long as the Great Dao is immortal, the Dao fruit of the Immortal King will not be destroyed. As long as the Dao fruit of the Immortal King is immortal, the Immortal King's true spirit will not be destroyed. If the true spirit is immortal, then the Immortal King will not truly die."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the Heavenly Venerable, but my true spirit has been up and down in the long river of time, and has gone through countless reincarnations. This trace of true spirit... or should I say, is 'he' still 'he'?"

"In the eyes of the world, it may have long ceased to be so, but in the eyes of the Tao, it has never changed."

After hearing this explanation, Xiao Minghuang became even more confused.

If the Immortal King's Dao Fruit is imprinted on the Great Dao, then the Great Dao will be immortal and the Immortal King will be immortal.

So, why did the Immortal King Bu Feng fall completely?

When she killed the other party, she clearly realized that the Immortal King Bu Feng's true spirit did not fall into the long river of time.

However, Xiao Minghuang did not ask this question, as this was not her top priority.

...

Changsheng Tianzun and Xiao Minghuang seemed to have the same idea, and neither of them continued to discuss this issue.

"Now, let's talk about you!"

Xiao Minghuang was startled for a moment, then reacted, hurriedly bowed, and said respectfully: "Please teach me, Lord Tianzun. I am all ears."

Of course she knew that if Changsheng Tianzun wanted to rescue Li Yan Xianwang, he could have done so long ago. There was no need to wait until now to take action in front of her.

Now, displaying his supernatural powers in front of her was obviously intentional.

The reason why Xiao Minghuang became the Immortal King was, to a large extent...or in other words, the decisive factor was the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King Li Yan.

Therefore, the deep cause and effect relationship between her and the Immortal King Li Yan cannot be severed at all.

Changsheng Tianzun helped the Immortal King Li Yan to reincarnate and cultivate again, but he transferred the cause and effect between her and the Immortal King Li Yan to himself.

Xiao Minghuang found it difficult to guess the deeper meaning behind this.

"It's not the case that I can teach you."

Changsheng Tianzun chuckled and said, "It's just that I'm very curious about you."

"I dare not. I am afraid."

Xiao Minghuang lowered his head.

In front of her eyes, that green figure seemed to control the entire universe, like the ruler above the sky, overlooking all living beings, invincible.

"You don't have to be modest. I am just curious. It has only been a thousand years since you were born. How did you complete the journey that geniuses from ancient times to the present took several epochs, or even tens, hundreds, or thousands of epochs to complete in such a short period of time?"

Changsheng Tianzun's voice came in a gentle tone, but every word was like a pearl, striking directly at the soul, causing Xiao Minghuang's hair to stand on end.

Throughout the ages, those who have been able to ascend to the realm of Immortal King are all dragons among men and people with extraordinary talents. However, the only one who can ascend to the realm of Immortal King in such a short period of time is Xiao Minghuang, and it is very likely that there will never be a second one like him in the years to come.

"The younger generation just happened to encounter the right opportunity and followed the trend."
