The Jade Emperor was speechless. He coughed lightly and said sternly, "Immortals, it's forbidden to make noise in the Purple Cloud Palace!"
Only then did everyone stop reluctantly.
Taibai Jinxing quickly helped to smooth things over. He said, "Your Majesty, we've all just broken the seal and haven't spoken for a long time. It's normal for us to talk too much. Please forgive us."
The Jade Emperor waved his hand. Then, he said seriously, "Alright, the most important thing now is to choose a residence for the expert. Do you have any good ideas?"
He had a headache too. They had to give something as a gift, but what to give and how to give it were very particular. It was a difficult problem.
There were many Heavenly Palaces in the Heavenly Palace. They had to give the best one. However … the best Heavenly Palaces were already taken. For example, the Jade Emperor's Supreme Jade Clear Palace and the Empress's Jade Pool.
"This …"
The immortals naturally realized this as well, and they were all in a dilemma.
Taibai Jinxing suggested, "Emperor Tian Huang is missing something. Why don't we change the Emperor Star Palace to the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace?"
The Jade Emperor frowned. He thought carefully. "I'm afraid that's not a good idea. However … it's a last resort."
Giving a second-hand palace was not good enough. Moreover, it was not good to change the palace without permission. Most importantly … the Heavenly Palace would not allow it.
The Jade Emperor sighed. He said in frustration, "Sigh, I can't believe that the Heavenly Palace's Heavenly Palace would not be able to give it away!"
He thought of the expert's courtyard in the mortal realm. That was low-key and luxurious. It was much more impressive than the Heavenly Palace. Compared to the two, the Heavenly Palace was just a facade. It looked luxurious on the surface, but other than being able to shine, it had no other use. It was a far cry from the Heavenly Palace.
"Boom!"
But at this time, the entire Heavenly Palace trembled as a strange phenomenon shot into the clouds. Phantoms of dragons and phoenixes soared into the sky, and there were also the cries of cranes. Pillars of brilliance were like pillars of light, and in the distant chaos, layers of purple gas suddenly erupted, converging somewhere in the Heavenly Palace!
Purple Qi came from the east, auspicious signs like the tide.
Even the Purple Cloud Palace burst into bursts of dense light and began to tremble violently like an earthquake.
What's going on? Is there an earthquake in the Heavenly Palace?
This was something that had never happened before, something that was simply impossible.
The immortals all flew up and walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace in a panic.
Not far away, next to the Star Observation Platform, there was originally nothing, but at this time, a part of it protruded outwards. The entire area of the Heavenly Palace was elongated just like that, and there was an extra piece of land.
Then, the ground began to change. Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, something seemed to be growing on the originally smooth ground.
The stars on Taibai Jinxing's forehead started to glow from the shock. His white hair stood on end as he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He started to doubt his life. "This, this, this is …"
The other immortals were also stunned. They felt as if an electric current had shot out from their hearts and went straight to the top of their heads. They were so shocked that they couldn't even speak properly. "The, the Heavenly Palace … itself … it, it grew a new Heavenly Palace?!"
What was the Heavenly Palace? It was the former Demon Court, a treasure that was born with the heaven and earth. The number of palaces was arranged according to the number of heavenly spirits and earthly fiends. The Heavenly Palace and the Treasure Hall had a total of 108 main buildings. They contained the number of heavenly dao, which was equivalent to the rules of heaven and earth.
But now … it changed?
It changed just like that?
It was so casual and without hesitation. Was it so immoral?
Not long after, a palace appeared in front of everyone. Unlike the golden bricks and tiles of the other Heavenly Palaces, the roof of this palace was purple. This was the color of the Primordial Purple Qi, which was definitely the most noble color in the Eldritch World. It was self-evident how luxurious it was.
Moreover, the pillars were made of jade glass, with all kinds of auspicious patterns carved on them. There were even halos of mythical beasts circulating around them. Just from the craftsmanship alone, it was many times more exquisite than the other Heavenly Palaces.
In comparison, the other Heavenly Palaces were like drafts. Only this one was built with heart and soul …
"Wow ~"
The immortals all opened their mouths wide at the same time. Their jaws were about to drop to the ground.
Finally, at the highest point of the Heavenly Palace, a purple plaque hung in the air. There were three big golden words written on it: Basilica of the Prince of Merit.
"Awesome, awesome … awesome!"
The immortals didn't know how to describe their feelings at this moment. They didn't expect that their worldview would be shattered into pieces when they had just broken the seal.
The Jade Emperor stared blankly at Basilica of the Prince of Merit. He pursed his lips and said humbly, "Lick, you're the best at licking!"
Basilica of the Prince of Merit was located on a stargazing platform. Living in the palace, one could see the sea of stars and the lights of the mortal world. Beside it, the water of the Milky Way flowed, and the stars shone brightly.
This was the protected landscape of the Heavenly Palace. Now … they had made an exception and built a house here!
Other than that, normal Heavenly Palaces only had one or two floors. Basilica of the Prince of Merit had three floors. At the top, there seemed to be a viewing tower.
Standing on it, one could not only see the sea of stars, but also the entire Heavenly Palace.
Taibai Jinxing's mind was blank. His lips trembled as he walked with trembling steps. "The Heavenly Palace obviously put in a lot of effort to provide a good Heavenly Palace for the expert."
"Stop! What are you doing? "
With a loud shout, a huge figure blocked Taibai Jinxing's path. It said seriously, "This is the Deluxe Merit Saint's residence. Please step back. Stay at least five hundred meters away from it. Don't come close!"
Taibai Jinxing frowned. "Juling Shen, what do you mean?"
"The Deluxe Merit Saint hasn't moved in yet. I'll guard this place. Step back, step back. Don't dirty this place!"
…
The next day.
Li Nianfan had a good night's sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw seven fairies lined up neatly at the door. He smiled and said, "Good morning, seven fairies."
The seven fairies said at the same time, "Good morning, Young Master Li."
"Xiao Bai, steam more buns."
Li Nianfan greeted them. "Since you're here, let's have breakfast together."
"Thank … thank you, Young Master Li." Cheng Yi felt a little embarrassed.
They rushed over early in the morning to invite Li Nianfan to the Heavenly Palace. They didn't think too much about it. It felt like they were here to freeload …
"Don't stand on ceremony. Have a seat." Li Nianfan smiled. "I'll go brush my teeth first. Excuse me."
Then, something that made Li Nianfan feel very awkward happened.
Seven pairs of beautiful eyes stared curiously at him as he brushed his teeth. That feeling … he couldn't say anything, nor could he express anything. In the midst of the torment, he finally finished brushing his teeth.
When he sat on the table, Daji and Long 'er surrounded him. The buns were neatly placed in front of everyone. Other than that, there was only porridge and a plate of pickled vegetables.
Li Nianfan said, "The breakfast is a little bland. Fairies, please bear with it."
Cheng Yi shook her head. "It's fine. It's already very good!"
They picked up the buns in front of them. They felt soft and fluffy. They couldn't help but have a complicated look in their eyes.
This bun was a … Connate Spirit!
Didn't they rely on the puppet buns to escape from their predicament? How could he bear to let them eat it now?!
With that thought, they opened their mouths and took a bite.
Mmm, it's delicious …
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Seven fairies, you rushed over early in the morning. Is there something you need?"
"Young Master Li, it's like this."
Big Sister Hong 'er still had a large piece of steamed bun in her mouth. She quickly took a small sip of the porridge, then shrunk her neck and swallowed the steamed bun. She then said, "Our Heavenly Palace is indebted to Mr. Li, and you are also a Deluxe Merit Saint. According to the name, you should be the Deluxe Merit Saint between heaven and earth. We have arranged an immortal palace for you in the Heavenly Palace and specially invited you to take a look."
"Deluxe Merit Saint? Me? "
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned. He was a little confused, but also a little surprised. They had even prepared an immortal palace.
"I know that the Jade Emperor wants to thank me. However, I'm just a mortal. It's a waste to ask for an immortal palace."
Cheng Yi hurriedly tried to persuade him. She said solemnly, "Young Master Li, this isn't just a simple thank you. This is what the Deluxe Merit Saint deserves."
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "The Jade Emperor is too kind."
Of course, he knew that merit was important. It was very important and had a very high status!
However, he only had merit and no cultivation. To others, it was useless. Being courteous was one thing. However, for the Jade Emperor to do this, it was most likely due to their friendship.
If one's merit could influence others or develop other uses for it, then one's status would be greatly different.
Such a thought flashed through Li Nianfan's mind. However, he said, "Alright! I can't refuse your kindness. I'll go to the Heavenly Palace and take a look at the restored Heavenly Palace. "
