In the dark, a particular aura converged atop the head of Venerable East Wu. In just 15 minutes, transparent energy poured down from the sky into East Wu’s head and rged into his body. Under the injection of this energy, seven days later, East Wu’s aura continued to grow stronger and increased several tis.
Huff...
A turbid breath burst out of Venerable Wu’s mouth. After opening his eyes, he looked at Tang Xiu with deep gratitude and bowed with cupped fists. “I deeply thank you for your kind instructions, Heavenly Emperor.”
“That is your good fortune,” said Tang Xiu with a light smile. “If anything, I didn’t think that you could even grasp my words and breakthrough to the mid-stage Perfected Golden Immortal Stage.”
“Sigh, I’ve been stranded at the early-stage Perfected Golden Immortal for 2,400 years. No matter how much I accumulate anything and keep cultivating for such a long period of ti, it was always difficult for to advance to the next step. Now I know that my insight into the Heavenly Dao was not enough. Heavenly Emperor, I never thought that after hearing your words, all the contradictions and things that clouded my hearts were all cleared and directly made breakthrough to the mid-stage Perfected Golden Immortal.”
1“Well then, you’re no longer suitable to live an easy and comfy life anymore since you have broken through, though,” Tang Xiu smilingly said. “You need to familiarize yourself with the strength of mid-stage Perfected Golden Immortal and are in need to find matching opponents and fight them. So, co with ! I’ll give you the opponents and battlefields you need!”
“About this...”
Venerable East Wu hesitated and said, “But I have a duty to protect Renault City, Heavenly Emperor. I won’t be able to face Venerable Bella if I leave with you.”
“The Immortal Lyceum will soon change, you’re just leaving one step in advance,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “No worries! I’ll send another Perfected Golden Immortal to take over the guardianship of the city from you. Well, just follow to see Apotheosis Bella, then! She’ll definitely let you leave with .”
Venerable East Wu looked bewildered. He really couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship Great Tang Heavenly Emperor shared with Apotheosis Bella. It was safe to say that apart from their eting in the Heavenly Mountain, he had never seen Great Tang Heavenly Emperor before, nor had he heard anything about him from Apotheosis Bella. This Great Tang Heavenly Emperor seed to appear out of nowhere, yet Apotheosis Bella trusted him so much that she didn’t hesitate to pull off a crazy stunt such as teaming up with him to kill another Supre.
“Alright, I’ll go with you to see Venerable Bella.”
East Wu felt that it was necessary to know the identity of this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor from Apotheosis Bella if she really gave her consent for him to leave with him.
“Hold on...”
Suddenly, his complexion changed when he realized sothing all of a sudden. Great Emperor Heavenly Emperor just ntioned that the Immortal Lyceum would soon change and that he would send another Perfected Golden Immortal to take over the guardianship duty of Renault City.
This statent... what does it an?
Renault City is a big city in the Immortal Lyceum territory and one that has always been under the control of Apotheosis Bella. Does this an Great Tang Heavenly Emperor wants to occupy the territory after getting the maiden and take over all the territories under Apotheosis Bella? If that’s the case... Apotheosis Bella will just brush it off, won’t she?
No way! Who exactly is this person?
He led a great number of Perfected Golden Immortals before and ventured deep into the Heavenly Mountain to rescue the powerhouses of Vermillion Bird Holy Sect. Could he be soone from that sect?
Tang Xiu ignored all the wild thoughts that kept churning inside Venerable East Wu’s mind and directly ordered Star Tears and Sablefiend Scorpio to return to the Heavenly Abode artifact. Then, he turned to East Wu and said, “I give you an hour to arrange everything before we leave to see Apotheosis Bella.”
“Understood!”
Venerable East Wu replied and quickly sent a few ssengers. Then, he said respectfully, “I’ve sent ssages to the commanding officer of the Immortal soldiers in the city. We can leave now.”
“Let’s hit the road, then!” Tang Xiu nodded.

Half a month later, Tang Xiu and Venerable East Wu ca to the palace of Immortal Lyceum where Apotheosis Bella resided. All the guards already knew Venerable East Wu, so they didn’t block Tang Xiu, so he directly entered the vortex portal and appeared on the square outside the palace. The Immortal on guarding duty was about to cross-check Tang Xiu’s identity when his expression slightly changed and he didn’t how he should be respectful toward this person. “Venerable Bella has just ordered to make you wait a bit here, Venerable East Wu. She wants to see Great Tang Heavenly Emperor first.”
Venerable East Wu froze for a mont and cast a suspicious look at Tang Xiu before he slightly nodded and said, “Well then, I’ll be waiting here. Please proceed inside, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor.”
Tang Xiu slightly nodded in response. The mont he flew into the palace, he realized that the palace portal was closed directly as a fiery red figure atop the Nine Dragons Cathedra suddenly flew and lunged into his embrace nearly in a flash.
The scent was so familiar that Tang Xiu secretly forced a smile inwardly. He knew that Apotheosis Bella had always been warm and enthusiastic. But to think that she would take the initiative to throw herself into his embrace was sothing he never expected. However, he did accept her in his heart, so he didn’t avoid nor push her away. He gently hugged her tender figure and patted her delicate back.
Only after a long while did Apotheosis Bella reluctantly release Tang Xiu and murmur, “I really want to hug you forever until the end of ti, you know.”
“Well, we both will beco fossils if we really go hugging each other until the end of ti, silly.” Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing at her statent.
Apotheosis Bella grabbed Tang Xiu’s hands and happily smiled. She took him to the Nine Dragons Cathedra and softly said, “I’ll still be happy even if we beco fossils. It may not be long from the last ti we t, but a day pass felt like a year to , you know. I’ve been praying that you can co earlier so I can see you earlier. It’s always a happy thing to see you.”
Tang Xiu gently hugged her shoulders and softly said, “Just be patient. Wait until we all beco stronger and remove all the enemies. I won’t be bored even if you keep staying by my side every day.”
“I know that such a day won’t be far away.” Apotheosis Bella firmly nodded.
Tang Xiu then extended out his left hand and an interspatial ring appeared on his palm. “I heard from Mu that you gave all the Immortal Crystals and Crystal Essences you, so the Immortal Lyceum is seriously short of them. That’s why I brought you 20 million Crystal Essences now to solve the urgent problem here!”
Apotheosis Bella hurriedly said, “Will it greatly affect the Great Tang Empire if you take out so many Crystal Essences now? Besides, I don’t need them for the ti being...”
Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her and said softly, “When we slew Myriad Thunder Supre, 6 Perfected Golden Immortals, and those tens of Golden Immortals, we harvested 200 million Immortal Crystals and quite a lot of Crystal Essences from them. I’ve given all of them to the Great Tang Empire. I looted their immortal treasures and got these 20 million Crystal Essences after selling so of them in the Eventide Market. The Great Tang Empire is currently not in a shortage of Immortal Crystals and Crystal Essences. Further, I’m planning to leave for so ti. The fastest ti I return should be in 3 years, or 10 years at the latest.”
“Where exactly are you going?” asked Apotheosis Bella hastily.
“The Secret Palace of Drunken Immortal Supre in the Immortal Abode region is about to open, so I’m going there,” said Tang Xiu with a smile, “Although I don’t care about the inheritance of Drunken Immortal Supre, he was one of the richest Immortals in the Immortal World. If we can get a lot of wealth from his Secret Palace, we can ensure the smooth developnt of the Great Tang Empire in the future.”
Without hesitation, Apotheosis Bella replied, “I’ve heard of the news about Drunken Immortal Supre’s Secret Palace that is about to open as well. It’s very likely that countless Perfected Golden Immortals are heading there at the ti. That’s why I must go with you. Waiting for you to co was so hard for , and it was also difficult for to be accepted by you. I can never lose you again.”
“Uh, who can recognize in my current appearance?” Tang Xiu forced a wry smile. “Besides, I don’t think any Supre will try to kill should they appear there as long as I don’t provoke them, no?”
Apotheosis Bella shook her head vigorously and replied with all seriousness, “No matter what, I must go with you. I can’t let you face any danger no matter how small it is. You’re still too weak now. I’m not worried about you facing any Perfected Golden Immortal, but you still have to be extra careful against Supre powerhouses.”
Tang Xiu pondered for a mont and then said, “You going with is not impossible, but you gotta promise that you must not easily go into action if you don’t have my permission. Besides, I still must go through brutal fighting and battles if I want to restore my previous strength. Even if I have you to protect , it’s likely that it will take quite a long ti before I can return to my heyday.”
Apotheosis Bella thought for a while and said, “I understand. I won’t move as long as you don’t run into a Supre outside the Secret Palace. Is that OK with you? I can’t enter the Secret Palace with you, though. I heard Drunken Immortal Supre bars Supremacy Stage powerhouses from entering his Secret Palace, and those who enter will be attacked. There’s a chance that even a Supre can die inside.”
Tang Xiu nodded. “If it was a Secret Palace left behind by other Supres, those Supremacy Stage powerhouses would definitely turn a blind eye to that warning. But I believe the strength of Drunken Immortal Supre’s was much more powerful than mine back in my heyday, so I don’t think any Supre will dare to break into this Secret Palace unless they are seeking their own death.”
Apotheosis Bella nodded and sighed. “Yeah, my thoughts exactly. But the most important thing is that this place was created and arranged by Drunken Immortal Supre before he ascended to the Gods Realm. His power definitely skyrocketed after he beca a deity. Such fearso power is not sothing so Supres can compare to.”
“Alright, let’s put off this topic first,” said Tang Xiu. “There are a few things you need to pay attention to if you want to go with . The first thing is to arrange another Perfected Golden Immortal under your command and put them into the Great Tang Empire. Also, assign soone to secretly manage the unification plan I sent you before.”
“Alright, I’ll get it done imdiately.”
Apotheosis Bella acted and worked on it vigorously. She imdiately summoned all the Perfected Golden Immortals under her to arrange so issues. Although her Perfected Golden Immortal subordinates were full of questions and doubts, she still ordered them to get all the things done.
