Above the Heavenly Court, Immortal Qi filled the air. Clouds and mist lingered, giving people a dream-like feeling. The dense Immortal Qi dissipated, revealing several hundred-meter-tall jade pillars with lifelike carvings of dragons and phoenixes on them.
At the end of the jade pillars, there was a faintly discernible, dazzling, and extremely luxurious palace hidden in the Immortal Qi. Only a small part of it could be seen.
Above the palace, clouds and auspicious light flowed. It was extremely resplendent, exuding an ancient and holy aura.
Standing on the white jade bridge, Mu Qingxiao looked at the white jade road in front of him, which extended in all directions. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Compared to the Lingxiao Palace, which could be reached directly from the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Immortal Palace's courtyard was even more complicated. It was crisscrossed and twisted. If someone who wasn't familiar with this place entered, they wouldn't be able to tell the directions at all.
Furthermore, not all the Immortals in the Heavenly Court lived together.
For example, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's seven Immortals lived in the noble Heavenly Palace. The other Immortals who were dancers lived in the Immortal Palace. Fairy Chang 'e, known as the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms, was a little special. She lived in the Moon Palace, which no one cared about.
Mu Qingxiao came this time to find the Third Holy Mother to reminisce about old times. He also wanted to see the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms, Fairy Chang 'e, in the Moon Palace.
"It seems that I can only go to the Moon Palace first. If I accidentally barge into these palaces and disturb some Immortals, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble."
Not knowing which Immortal Palace Yang Chan lived in, Mu Qingxiao didn't plan on barging in recklessly. He might as well go to the Moon Palace and take a look. When the time came, he would think of something else.
The Western Gate of the Heavenly Court wasn't far from the Moon Star, where the Moon Palace was located.
Mu Qingxiao hid his aura and wasn't in a hurry. He silently passed through the palaces, leaped over the Western Heavenly Gate, and stepped on the void. The Moon Star was already in sight. Even from far away, he could feel the extremely cold aura of the Moon Star.
The Lunar Star was perfectly round, and its entire body was light silver. It emitted a bright radiance, but the scenery above it was extremely desolate. Bay laurel trees were sparsely planted on its surface, and the laurel was in full bloom. As the cold wind blew, snow-white flowers floated down, cold and proud.
Stepping onto the Lunar Star, the first thing that came into view was an ancient and noble palace that stood at the center of the star, emitting a multicolored glow.
On the plaque of the palace, there were three words written in flamboyant calligraphy: Vast Cold Palace.
"So this is the Guang Han Palace. I wonder if the one I saw on Earth is the same as the one here?"
Mu Qingxiao shook her head slightly and threw her messy thoughts to the back of her mind. Just as she was about to step into Guanghan Palace, her starry eyes narrowed and she looked towards the south along the laurel tree.
"Bang! Bang! Bang … "
She only heard the sound of an axe hitting a tree trunk from the south. Mu Qingxiao couldn't help but feel curious and walked in the direction of the sound.
It wasn't long before an ancient and lofty Lunar Laurel Tree appeared before his eyes. The trunk of the tree was over 1,500m tall, and its branches were thick and solid like horned dragons. They stretched and stretched out, and the branches that were separated from the tree were covered in snow white Lunar Laurel Flowers.
Of course, although this laurel tree was ancient and majestic, it paled in comparison to the hundred-million-year-old divine trees in the small world. It wasn't worth mentioning.
Standing far away, Mu Qingxiao could smell the elegant fragrance of the laurel flowers.
At this time, under the ancient laurel tree, a burly man was holding a sharp giant axe and constantly chopping down the laurel tree.
The man's long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. His upper body was bare, and his bronze muscles were tight and sweaty. Every time he chopped down with the axe, the veins on his arms would bulge. It was obvious that he was using all his strength.
However, all his efforts were in vain. When the giant axe landed on the tree trunk, it created a gap that was a few feet long. However, once the giant axe was pulled out, the gap would instantly heal without leaving a trace. It was as if the previous cutting was just an illusion.
Wu Gang chopped the laurel tree.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Mu Qingxiao was slightly stunned.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a person called Wu Gang who made a mistake in the process of becoming an immortal. As a result, the Celestial Emperor was furious and detained him in the Moon Palace, ordering him to chop down the laurel tree in the Moon Palace.
The Celestial Emperor said, "If you chop down the laurel tree, you can atone for your crime."
However, every time Wu Gang chopped down with the axe, the wound would immediately heal. Day after day, Wu Gang's wish to chop down the laurel tree was still not fulfilled. He could only stay in the Moon Palace and chop down the laurel tree all year round. However, this laurel tree seemed to have endless vitality. He couldn't chop it down.
This way, it would never stop.
Ninth-tier Golden Immortal.
After discovering Wu Gang's cultivation level, Mu Qingxiao was slightly shocked. What surprised her was not his cultivation level, but the towering laurel tree.
The strangeness of this tree was obvious at a glance. However, a ninth-tier Golden Immortal couldn't chop it down. What kind of mystery was hidden in it?
She shook her head slightly. No matter what mystery this laurel tree had, it had nothing to do with her.
"Ding! Get to the bottom of it. Solve the mystery of the lunar laurel tree. Mission reward, increase in cultivation level by one tier!"
Mu Qingxiao was about to leave when the System's notification suddenly rang in her mind. She stopped in her tracks and her expression changed slightly.
A mission was triggered!
Looking back at the towering laurel tree, Mu Qingxiao's starry eyes were full of confusion. This tree must be hiding a big secret. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the ancient Moon Palace.
Could it be that the Jade Emperor imprisoned Chang 'e in the Moon Palace to hide something?
Looking away, Mu Qingxiao temporarily suppressed the confusion in her heart. No matter what secret this laurel tree was hiding, with her current strength, she couldn't investigate it.
Once he attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court, he would definitely face an endless pursuit. He already had a bounty on his head by the Heavenly Court. Now that he had brazenly snuck into the Heavenly Court, it would be strange if the Jade Emperor was not furious.
After regaining her senses, Mu Qingxiao left quietly. She came and went without a trace. Wu Gang didn't notice her at all.
Not long after, Mu Qingxiao arrived in front of the ancient Moon Palace. There were few people in the Moon Palace. There were no heavenly soldiers or guards. Therefore, she didn't deliberately hide herself and walked slowly into the palace.
"Dong! Dong! Dong … "
Going deep into the Moon Palace, Mu Qingxiao finally heard some sounds after passing through about two corridors.
Taking a closer look, she saw a snow-white rabbit with a short tail and long ears in a clean and tidy courtyard of the Moon Palace. It was holding a jade pestle and fiddling with medicinal herbs. It looked serious and diligent. Its ruby-like eyes blinked from time to time. It was very cute.
"Jade Rabbit, why are you so diligent today?"
At this moment, a holy and beautiful figure walked out of the house in the courtyard.
Her long black hair fell to her waist, and her delicate and flawless face was flawless. She was wearing a white feather dress, and she was truly an otherworldly fairy.
