Chapter 392 The Heavenly Spirits, Irritating Mosquitos

The Empress’s voice was very resonant and it echoed throughout the entire space. Adding on to the galaxy forming in the sky, it gave the mortals a very overwhelming feeling.

During this time, after being influenced by so many stories of the Heavenly Palace, everyone was starting to believe in the existence of the Heavenly Palace. At this moment, such an incident that took place in the form of a storytelling scene was embroidered deep in the hearts of the crowd.

Naturally, that was one of the considerations that Li Nianfan took.

‘If both the Jade Emperor and Empress were to just stand up and reveal their identities flat out, I don’t think anyone would buy it. Taking into account the Heavenly laws, the characters, and the stories that make up this incident will be much more persuasive. Besides, humans are naturally more inclined to such gossip and will rather choose to believe this incident is genuine.’

Broom!

At that moment, there was a weird commotion suddenly heard coming from the sky from far away. There was a golden light appearing out of the blue moon, shining throughout the entire sky. It was as if a star suddenly lightened up in the sky and was sparkling.

The Jade Emperor, who was initially sitting beside Li Nianfan, suddenly changed his expression drastically. He looked in the direction where the place suddenly went bright. He got agitated and perturbed. He faced Li Nianfan, paid respect, and said, “Mr. Li, I think there’s a reaction happening back in the Heavenly Palace. I’ve got to head back and have a look. I hereby take my leave.”

‘There really was a reaction?’

“They really became light?’

Li Nianfan had an astonished look and said with a smile, “This is good news. Your Highness, please, don’t delay any further. Hurry and make your way back.”

He thought deep in his heart that if the Heavenly Palace really succeeded in rebuilding, given his connections, he would be able to show up carefreely everywhere.

The Jade Emperor nodded his head. Then, he transformed into a gleam of light and vanished in a blink of an eye.

At that moment, in the Heavenly Palace.

The entire Heavenly Palace was shaking, and innumerable auspicious moments of extraordinary scenes kept showing up.

There were lots of rays of lights shooting up from the mortal realm to the sky, spreading to every corner.

The Empress, Ziye, and Cheng Yi had ended their show and had returned to the Heavenly Palace at the very first instance. Seeing such a scene made them unable to suppress the agitation they were having. They started running everywhere and opened up all the main entrances to the palace.

Those lights surrounded all the stone statues just like sunlight shining on the land.

The Jade Emperor revealed himself. He wore an anxious expression as he said, “What’s the situation?”

“It seems a little bad.”

The glint of agitation in the Empress’s eyes seemed to have frozen up. She frowned, shook her head, and said, “Those halos surrounded the stone statues but it seems the two of them just can’t fuse. Hence, there won’t be any use to it.”

The expression on the Jade Emperor also changed. However, his eyes became dark instead. He flipped his wrist and held onto a pagoda. That pagoda flew out and floated in the air. Halos were shining out of it in a certain direction!

Swoosh!

Red tides were starting to show up at the space which was initially empty. Then, a bloody red lotus blossomed, taking the shape of a shield, blocking the lights from the pagoda.

On top of the lotus, an outline of a Blood Shirt Taoist gradually showed up. He had a pair of mocking eyes and said with a hoarse voice, “Hao Tian, my friend who I haven’t seen in a very long time. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to make a move the moment we meet each other.”

The Jade Emperor’s expression became dark and said sternly, “Styx, this is the Heavenly Palace. It’s not some random place where you can come and act atrociously. Better get the hell out of here!”

Styx Laozu burst into laughter and said mockingly, “Heavenly Palace? I almost didn’t recognize it if you didn’t mention it. Where are the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Guards?”

His attention shifted over to the stone statues that were sealed, and he said with a smile, “Jade Emperor, Empress, you guys are way too naive. You guys won’t succeed if you do all these because you guys lack the Heavenly Spirit!”

The Jade Emperor raised his brows and felt his heart sink to the bottom. “The Heavenly Spirit?”

“Hehe, I can’t believe you’re a disciple of Dao Zu when you don’t even know about this.”

Styx Laozu started bragging on his knowledge and said carefreely, “Of all the living things in this world, which of them doesn’t take form from the Heavenly Spirit? The overwhelming presence like us were born along with the realm, and the demons were formed with the Spiritual Qi from the realm. Again for the humans, they’re formed from the Nine Heaven Breathing Soil accumulated by Nuwa, adding on a layer of Heavenly Spirit. Everything needs the Heavenly Spirit!”

The Empress said, “How do you know about all these things?”

“Of course, I learned it from Nuwa on how to create humans when I created the Asuras.” Styx Laozu smiled faintly. “But I, Styx, being born from the heavens, I’m naturally born with the Heavenly Spirit. Hence, I can create lives. Regarding this seal, I think you guys can just forget about breaking it. Hao Tian, you and I should join forces and make the Heaven and Earth realm in chaos again. Let my Asuras take over the humans. In the future, you’ll still be able to be the Jade Emperor!”

The Jade Emperor’s voice was deep and was still talking in a mockery manner, “Hehe, back in those years, you dreamed of learning from Nuwa Empress to create humans to become a Saint. After you failed at that, you’re still dreaming of making the Asuras take over the humans and becoming the main protagonist in the Heaven and Earth realm, and then to take over the Saint’s place?”

Styx Laozu’s voice was accompanied by agitation, “This isn’t just a dream but a very high possibility!” The Jade Emperor smiled coldly. “Hehe, a pile of tainted blood that forms into a living thing of disgust. Its very existence is not worth noting, and will never be the main protagonist.”

Styx Laozu ‘s expression became dark and his eyes gleamed with a murderous aura. “Hao Tian, do you still think things are just like how they used to be? Back in those days, I, Styx, could only stay low when the Saints were interfering. I didn’t dare plot too many schemes. Right now, you’re not even the emperor. You don’t even have the right to talk to me on equal footing!”

The Jade Emperor’s eyes were also filled with rage. Both of them were overwhelming each other with their auras, yet no one simply took any action rashly.

Ziye and Cheng Yi looked at the stone statues around and sighed. ‘In the end…we still failed?’

Shrieeek!

Following the sound of the door being pushed open, eager footsteps and a babble of whispering were heard. Under such circumstances, it was ear-piercing.

The Jade Emperor and the rest of the gang immediately shifted their attention to the source of the sound. Each of them were startled and their eyes gleamed in a way that they found it hard to believe.

Ziye immediately raised her hand and covered her mouth. The tears in her eyes immediately flowed out. “Big Sister, you guys…am I in a dream?”

Five ladies in long dresses of a variety of colors were in a daze and were glancing at the surroundings. They were also dumbfounded when they saw the people coming to them.

They immediately greeted each other politely simultaneously, “Greetings to Your Highness, Empress.”

The Jade Emperor and Empress were also flustered at the delightful incident that suddenly appeared. They could not help but say with a smile, “Great, great, great!”

“This is impossible!” Styx Laozu’s eyes suddenly widened. He roared, finding it unbelievable, “Without the Heavenly Spirits, how did you guys recover?”

Suddenly, there was an outline of a white figure sticking out its head from the Palace of the Seven Princesses. Following that, the figure started hopping its way into the scene.

That outline was just the size of half a palm. It was a white little human, yet, it looked as if it had a soul in it. Under the gazes of the crowd, whose jaws were wide apart, the outline walked while somersaulting.

That outline was tiny yet it captured everyone’s attention. All the lights that were coming from the mortal realm started surrounding the little man, following him into one of the palaces. Following that, they fused into a stone statue!

With the little man fusing into it, that stone statue was like snow from the winter encountering the sunlight from the summers. It started melting at a speed that the naked eyes could capture.

“This…this…this…”

Styx Laozu kept rubbing his eyes. Yet, he saw a white little man, one after another, slowly coming out from the door. It was as if they were even accompanied with children’s laughter as they started hopping everywhere while heading to the Heavenly Palace.

“Flour?”

Styx Laozu felt as if his world had endured a shock. “This is impossible! What sort of flour is this that it can create Heavenly Spirits? Besides…these flour figures are even being steamed beforehand?”

The Empress and the Jade Emperor were delighted and their hearts were thumping hard.

Ziye was looking at the little men instead. Her face went bright pink and said, “Aren’t these the ones that the expert gifted to me some time ago? I noticed that these puppets looked extraordinary and hence, I was always reluctant to eat them. I put them in the Palace of the Seven Princesses. So, it turns out… they’re Heavenly Spirits.”

Ziye was feeling utterly grateful deep in her heart. Thank god she was not into eating like Immortal Linzhu. At the very least, she was able to control herself, or else currently…there would be no use crying over spilled milk.

The expert indeed did things in a very calm manner. There were many aspects in the creation of the universe that would be missed if they did not pay close attention to them. ‘Thank god, thank god!’ “So that’s how it works.” The Jade Emperor nodded his head and could not help but give Ziye a thumbs up. “Zi, you have matured a lot. If this happened long ago, I’m afraid things would’ve been screwed up terribly!” Within that space, Styx Laozu’s eyes squinted drastically. While he was lifting his hand, a bloody red outline shot toward one of the puppets. ‘No matter how you guys obtained these Heavenly Spirits, I’ll just have to destroy everything!’

“Hmph!”

The Jade Emperor snorted as he had taken precautions a long time ago. The lights from that pagoda shielded those puppets.

Dang!

A sound was heard and it blocked off that bloody light. It turned out to be a very long black sword.

It was the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, the Yuan Tu.

“The situation of the Heaven and Earth realm has been set. Hao Tian, you’re going against the laws by rebuilding the Heavenly Palace. I advise you to stop whatever you’re doing!”

Styx Laozu’s eyes were gleaming with a murderous glint. He spoke in an eager tone. He then raised his hand again and Abi was lifted as well. Together with the Yuan Tu, they both transformed into two murderous bloody lights, charging toward the group of puppets and hunting them down. The Jade Emperor remained calm and faced the situation with a composed emotion. The pagoda above his head let out a few lights and it formed an ultimate defense.

The eyes of Styx Laozu revealed a fierce gleam. He flicked his wrist and a black long spear appeared. Suddenly, the sky became dark and the layer of murderous aura formed into black clouds, engulfing the entire scene.

That long spear pierced its way straight into the Jade Emperor’s pagoda, deflecting it a few meters away. The remaining wave of energy made the entire Heavenly Palace tremble like an earthquake, making the Seven Princesses unable to stand still.

Fortunately, it was at the Heavenly Palace. If it occurred in the mortal realm, perhaps everything within the tens of thousands of meters would have crumbled and turned into ashes.

After the first attack of the spear, Styx Laozu launched the second attack!

The Jade Emperor’s expression became darker. He always doubted how Styx Laozu was able to free himself. After witnessing the God Killing Spear, everything finally came to light.

It was an easy feat to break the seal with the strength of the God Killing Spear.

Compared to the very first attack of the spear, the second attack was fiercer. The starry sky was being split up, forming a black furrow.

Yet, at that moment, a painting scroll suddenly appeared before the long spear. It unraveled itself and the land of mountains suddenly took form, forming into a little world on its own, blocking off the attack. However, with the attack of the long spear, the little world was still destroyed into bits and immediately vanished. The Land of Mountains and Rivers Painting was sent flying away. At a corner, the Seven Princesses were giving their best shot to launch their attacks on Styx Laozu. However, those attacks that landed on the red lotus did not even cause the slightest damage to it.

With the defense of the Twelfth Ranked Bloody Lotus, adding on to the attack of the God Killing Spear, there was no way to counter them. Even during the times of the Saints, he was the top fighter only second to the Saint.

Even though it was Styx Laozu alone, with the Jade Emperor and Empress joining forces, they barely managed to defend against him. Styx Laaozu threatened sternly, “Hao tian, if you insist on this, then don’t blame it on me for starting a war against you guys and taking actions against the people of the Heavenly Palace!”

The Jade Emperor’s expression changed drastically when he heard Styx Laozu’s comment. He quickly said, “Zi, Cheng, you guys hurry and head toward the Immortal realm!”

Ziye and Cheng Yi dared not procrastinate. They brought along their siblings with them and headed to the Immortal realm. In the meantime, the crowd in the Immortal realm had gradually dispersed. They were still happily talking about the incident that occurred.

Two voices gradually appeared within the dark scenes. It was two old people with scrawny faces.

They looked in the direction of Li Nianfan. They licked their lips and then revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

“Remember, that man’s a Deluxe Merit Saint. Don’t ever touch him. As for other people’s blood…suck it till the very last drop!”

“Hehehe, the dragons, the phoenix, the nine-tailed fox, there’s just so much tasty blood. Today, I finally can enjoy a filling feast!”

“What do the dragons and phoenix even account of? When our ancestors ruled the world, we’ll be able to enjoy it to the max throughout the entire world!”

“Attack!”

Their figures transformed into two mosquitoes and rushed forth. Two of them were divided into four, and then eight mosquitoes. The group of mosquitoes rushed toward Li Nianfan.

Buzzing sounds were heard.

The ear-piercing sounds erupted during that quiet night, bringing along a mysterious wave and making those people who heard it become absent-minded, including the Immortals.

At that moment, a weird transformation was going on in the area. It became utterly slow and quiet. Even their thought processes had become slow, too.

A bloodlust that originated from a strong current took over the scene, bringing along a murderous intent that made everyone’s blood freeze. “Daluo Golden Immortal!”

“Natural Beasts!”

Daji and the others had very serious expressions on their faces. They released all the powers within them to a point that their eyes had turned into a deep blue color.

On top of Li Nianfan’s shoulder, the Fire Phoenix gently extended its wings and there was a glint of fire emerging in her eyes. In the sky, the Seven Princesses who had witnessed the entire scene had expressions that changed for the worst. They increased their speed of landing on the land. Their long dresses flapped violently as they descended to the ground.

Cheng Yi and Ziye kept urging deep within their hearts, ‘Hurry, hurry! We can’t let this group of mosquitoes disturb the expert!’ A buzzing sound was heard again!

Following then, the eyes of the group of mosquitoes had become bloody red as well. It became even more aggressive and more bloodthirsty.

‘We’re near, we’re coming now!’

Whiff….

Suddenly, without any prior warning, something was sprayed at the group of mosquitoes. Those mosquitoes then circled in the air for a few rounds before dropping to the ground.

There were only two mosquitoes who barely hovered in the air. ‘Dizzy. My head’s spinning. Toxins. I think I’m…being poisoned.’

“Darn it. I was just starting to have a nice dream, and these irritating mosquitoes started showing up? What are you guys buzzing around for?”

Li Nianfan was holding onto an insecticide spray. He frowned slightly. Then, he said, astonished, “Oh my, these two mosquitoes have a tough life force. This insecticide of mine is known to kill all bugs and cockroaches with just a single spray, yet they managed to survive it.”

Then, he lifted his hands again.

Whiff…

After spraying for some time, those two mosquitoes, along with the wind, slowly dropped to the ground, peacefully.
