Chapter 87 The Treasure Pavillion in the Ninth-Level Heaven
The palace servant outside gave another divine invitation. When a woman came into the main hall, Wuyou was so thrilled that it was Phoenix. Compared to what she was two years ago, she was more attractive, her rose-red garment adding more charm to her. An adult and a child followed her. Su Chenyang held the child’s hand. On the cloud couch, Nascent Soul felt uncomfortable, since he had not seen his daughter for two years. And today when meeting her again, she had become another person’s wife. What annoyed Nascent Soul was that he even did not his daughter’s marriage. He thought his daughter’s wings did become so hard that she dared to marry her father’s sworn foe. In Nascent Soul’s mind, even fairies were all his sworn foes, including Xiao Qi working with him. When Phoenix and her family members seated themselves on the cloud couch, Emperor Jun’s eyes glanced around the main hall, lulling the immortals immediately.
“Why I invited everyone here today is that the Ninth-level Heaven has found the royal grandson who has lost for years. Feng Xi, come to see the uncles.”
“My Majesty, congratulations! The royal grandson has a great face. It is hard to find in the three realms.”
Those junior immortals did have first-class flattery tactics.
In the crowd, the man in plain clothes was calm and uneasy. Xu Linghe was shocked, wondering how the man could be the royal grandson. Shenzong even felt a trance at the sight of Feng Xi, feeling familiar to the name, as if he had heard it before. If Shenzong could think more carefully, he would think about Chang Xi’s last words when she was dying. But it was a pity that Shenzong was really psyched out, completely forgetting what his little Junior Sister had entrusted him. Emperor Jun stared at his son, smug about the pawn that he had set. However, if the pawn was not obedient one day, the final result was still the same. Even the King of the Heaven was unable to predict what would happen in the future. In Emperor Jun’s eyes, Feng Xi was not only his family member, but also a chip to tie up Shenzong. If one day Shenzong would shred the Ninth-level Heaven, Feng Xi would guard for Emperor Jun without doubt. Shenzong was unwilling to see the person on the throne, so he closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Ying Fu could not figure out when Emperor Jun had a royal grandson. And the royal grandson turned up at the moment when the Heavenly Book emerged. Then the Ninth-level Heaven announced it had the successor. As Ying Fu had followed Emperor Jun for years, he did not hear anything about the royal grandson. Ying Fu knew Emperor Jun well and believed that Emperor Jun would not do any losing money trade. The more Ying Fu thought, the more scared he felt. The unknown man was a pawn of a plot that Emperor Jun had set. Although Ying Fu still considered Emperor Jun as his brother, their thoughts dispersed gradually. Ying Fu gazed at Emperor Jun, hoping to detect what hid in the depth of Emperor Jun’s soul. However, there was nothing there except peace. It seemed that his brother had concealed his hostility and nature, making him look like a real deity. But Ying Fu still missed the days of fights when it was bloody, but they treated each other more like brothers than now. Behind the harmonious peace, it was even darker than before. Ying Fu felt he would not allow the things to go on like that, and he should help Shenzong and stop the fight between Shenzong and his father. Ying Fu stopped thinking and went down the cloud couch unseen. Wuyou felt there was something unusual with the weird old man, so she spread her divine consciousness to follow him. Wuyou released the Little Lingchong in her soul. It was three years since Little Lingchong saw its master last time. It shed tears unexpectedly. Because of master, Little Lingchong had to fall asleep. Wuyou followed Little Lingchong to move ahead. But before long, they got lost, unable to find Ying Fu. Wuyou was a bit anxious. It was time for Little Lingchong to search their objective. With an order, Little Lingchong rushed out and took Wuyou to detect Ying Fu’s trace. When flying to a complex of buildings, Little Lingchong slowed down, followed closely by Wuyou. Was Ying Fu in it? Wuyou’s divine consciousness squeezed its way into the room, and Little Lingchong flapped wings cautiously.
“Master, it turns out to be the Treasure Pavillion. Woo... so many treasures, more than those in the Shan Pavillion of Teal Hill.”
“Hush... no excitement. Calm down quickly.”
Wuyou let out a long sigh. What a green and inexperienced insect! It seemed that she should take Little Lingchong to the Treasure Pavillion more in the future so that Little Lingchong learned how to calm itself down.
“Little Lingchong, to see whether the weird old man is in it.”
Little Lingchong flapped it wings over Wuyou’s head, and Wuyou followed Little Lingchong closely. When they got closer to the objective, Little Lingchong stopped, and Wuyou’s divine consciousness extended. The weird old man held the Heavenly Mirror, his body unmoved. Wuyou wanted to see why. When she came to his side, she knew that why the weird old man was in a daze.
“Weird old man, is Feng Xi a physical body that is reshaped?”
Ying Fu raised up his head, only to find an insect, so he was about to swat it. Then Wuyou revealed her soul. Ying Fu looked at her and found that she was the young man’s wife, and his hand went dark. “How dare the woman to follow me!” Ying Fu covered up the Heavenly Mirror tightly.
“This is not the place you can barge in. Just go back.”
Ying Fu knew Emperor Jun’s tactics. For Ying Fu, he could still rely on his relationship with the Ninth-level Heaven; but for the woman, it was utterly different. If she was discovered, she had to jump into the Samsara Road, regardless of an immortal or and a devil.
“The images are related to my husband, I can’t sit by and watch it.”
Hearing Wuyou’s words, Ying Fu worried that perhaps Wuyou had known it all. If so, Ying Fu did not want to cover anything more. So he injected more Spirit Power to the Heavenly Mirror. Wuyou held her breath and stared at the mirror. The images showed the things about Emperor Jun married Ximu and killed her, which were rather cruel and sanguinary. Ying Fu was reviewing the past, unable to accept himself of the past. At that moment, Wuyou realized the profound function of the Heavenly Mirror. Although the mirror looked like a common one, it could record the traces of all spirits. Then, it shifted to the Fairy Kingdom where there was another picture in the mirror. Wuyou found some familiar figures. It turned out that Granny Moon who loved Wuyou so much was Changxi, the Goddess of the Moon, but she looked rather young in the mirror. When seeing the baby in Granny Moon’s arms, Wuyou was quite confused. Ying Fu did not say anything, wondering who the child was in the arms of the Goddess of the Moon. Then, it changed again, back to the Cuihua Mountain hundreds of thousands of years ago. It showed the Goddess of the Moon and Shenzong drank merrily and talked happily. And then came out some scenes that were unsuitable to watch, so Ying Fu did not want Wuyou to look at it and waved his spiritual fingers to turn to the next scene. And then Ying Fu understood whose child it was in the arms of the Goddess of the Moon. Shenzong was so lucky that he could have other to have his own baby under the circumstance he did not know, just as the old saying of “drunken mistakes”. Shenzong also looked his Junior Sister with his eyes full of love, but because of Black Emperor’s strictness, Shenzong had to bury his love in the bottom of the heart. Unexpectedly, the Goddess of the Moon was a girl of true nature trespassed the last line, and turned such love into an affection lasting their whole lives. What a mighty woman! Ying Fu had a high opinion on such a woman. And then, another scene appeared. The Goddess of the Moon ran away in a hurry. In fact, it was a false word that the Goddess of the Moon murdered Black Emperor, and the real murderer was Chidi. Because Chidi threathened her that he would delate her about her beguiling her Senior Brother and having done something indecent, the Goddess of the Moon had no alternative but to tell Black Emperor’s roaming routes to Chidi. Out of her expectation, Chidi transformed himself as the Goddess of the Moon and killed the Master with Kunlun’s rank poison. It was too late when the Goddess of the Moon knew it. To keep alive, the Goddess of the Moon had to run away overnight. Killing the master was a serious crime. Her divine essence would be peeled off, and she would never be reborn. Since the Goddess of the Moon had a child, how could she die? The mystery lasting tens of thousands of years was solved finally. Ying Fu could not help but let out sigh. Only Black Emperor knew who was the murderer, and it was also a misfortune for the Cuihua Mountain. Perhaps to suppress it, Black Emperor brought the secret with him to the Pure Land before his death. So the matter hanged in the wind, and the punishment to the Goddess of the Moon was banishing her to the Fairy Kingdom and let her become an sorcery doctor there. Wuyou was still in confusion about the complicated things, but she was pretty sure that Granny Moon was so kind that she could not killl Black Emperor. All the crimes had been committed by Chidi. The images changed in the Heavenly Mirror. In the images, the little child grew up day by day and became so lovely. Unexpectedly the little girl was kidnapped by Chidi, and the Goddess of the Moon had to compromise again this time for her daughter’s safety. The Goddess of the Moon went to the Cui Hua Mount to keep the five-hundred-year appointment and deceived Shenzong and Jiang Yu of Teal Hill to the Xiaoyao Grotto-heaven. In this battle, Jiang Yu turned to ashes in order to save Shenzong. Wuyou could not hold back her tears when seeing her grandfather turned into spitirtual light. It was Chidi who made Wuyou homeless and lose everything. Wuyou did not realize that she had spread her Spirit Power, while Ying Fu felt the airflow kept pressing him. When he turned around, Ying Fu was quite astounded that the whole Treasure Pavilion was lifted up. How could the woman have such formidable Spirit Power and Universe-muddling Qi. Ying Fu had never seen it before, even Little Lingchong slipped into Ying Fu’s sleeve with fear, because it also never saw its master like that. Ying Fu retreated tens of meters and set a defensive cover for himself, as he would not sacrifice for nothing. This was the devil power of extinguishing the universe in the Heavenly Book, which could change with the caster’s mood. When Wuyou calmed herself down, the highly lifted Treasure Pavilion dropped slowly. At that moment, Emperor Jun, who was in the divine palace, sank his heart, because he could feel that the Spirit Qi pressed hard at the divine palace just now. It was the power of the Heavenly Book. Emperor Jun once saw Black Emperor’s strength, so he knew how powerful the Heavenly Book would be. But who hid in the Treasure Pavilion? Emperor Jun glanced around the hall and could not find Ying Fu. Did Ying Fu get the Heavenly Book? Emperor Jun could hardly sit there any longer, so he murmured to the little palace servant beside him and walked out of the hall arduously. All the immortals present were puzzled about Emperor Jun’s behavior, and their hearts could not set their mind a rest until the palace servant claimed that Emperor Jun was so tired that he wanted to take a rest. Jiu Ying felt more happier since she did not see the final decision. Since Emperor Jun was tired, it was time for her to walk up to the throne. So Jiu Ying stepped slowly to the high platform, her palace suit lifted by the celestial maidservants. When she seated herself on the throne for Empress, the little palace servant was at a total loss with fright. The Madam took the seat that belonged to the deceased Empress. If Emperor Jun knew it, who could save the poor palace servant? All the immortals present were taken back by the sudden woman. But Jiu Ying had expected such situation. She had tolerating it for tens of thousands of years, and she would not stand it afterwards. Since Emperor Jun did not give her a formal status, she would take it by herself in the presence of all immortals. Dressed in Phoenix rob, Jiu Ying showed off the Empress’ demeanor. The woman who had been trampled by Emperor Jun could finally hold her head high in the divine palace. No matter what result she would suffer, Jiu Ying was the most diginified woman in the Ninth-level Heaven. The little palace servant had no choice but to announce to the three realms.
“The Empress is coming!”
The little palace servant wanted to be more imposing, but his legs trembled. He was afraid that he could not keep his head today and that Emperor Jun would trample and kill him because of his lower rank. But he had no choice but to brace himself to do that. Jiu Ying took a cold glance at all immortals and swung her sleeves slightly in an imposing manner. She thought, “The seat has been taken up by a dead person for so long, and I will replace her gradually. Ximu, your things will be mine.” The little immortals in the main hall were disturbed by the sudden arrival of the new Empress. When would the Ninth-level Heaven have the Empress. But the little palace servant’s announcement showed that it was true. Shenzong took no interest in what happened in the hall. Empress was just a bubble and useless title. Since Emperor Jun invited all immortals, he walked off so early that there must be something queer. Xu Linghe delighted Xiao Douya, and then got angry when finding his little woman strange. He thought Wuyou did not have the awareness that she had been his wife, even her divine consciousness had gone somewhere unknown. Did Emperor Jun feel uncomfortable suddenly? Or did Emperor Jun find something odd? And then, Xu Linghe realized that Ying Fu also disappeared. Would his little woman tail after Ying Fu? Xu Linghe looked sterner.
