Gu Qing Shan led Xiu Xiu as they walked, talking to her nonstop to ease her nervousness.
"Look, that shop specializes in selling talismans."
"That's where weapons are forged, that bare-chested man over there is a blacksmith"
"There's a pill furnace in front of this shop, they sell pills"
"On the left, that's right, there's a spirit food shop on my left, there's a snack called tanghulu, it's really delicious — — - boss, give me a tanghulu"
Saying so, a tanghulu was stuffed into Xiu Xiu's hand.
Really delicious? Xiu Xiu hesitated a bit, then lightly licked the tanghulu.
Hm, very sweet.
She happily ate it.
As Gu Qing Shan saw a certain place, her eyes lit up: "Come, Xiu Xiu, come quickly"
"Senior brother, what's going on?" Xiu Xiu became nervous again.
"Do you see that, that's a shop run by Spirit Beast sect, there are a lot of strange spirit beasts, let's go take a look!"
"Whoa, do they have cranes, I like cranes!"
"They do"
"Then let's go"
As the manager watched the two of them run away, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Every single person who came to the semester examination was nervous and scared, it's rare to see someone as relaxed as them.
How well you perform at the semester examination will directly affect whether or not you can join a sect, what kind of sect you can join, and how well you'll be treated in the sect.
Even some of the disciples from the sects that had been decided beforehand were also nervous.
— — -what if I don't perform well? What if I lose to the latecomers?
If I perform exceptionally well, will there be other better sects that want me?
That's what everyone was thinking.
Because of that, the entire Prestige mountain town was filled with cultivators with worried expressions on their faces as they walked.
But these two in front of him, they weren't here for the semester examination, they were here to play.
The manager waited for a bit longer before he saw the young man leading the little girl out of the spirit beast shop.
The young man had a faint smile on his face, while the little girl had already thrown her nervousness to the back of her mind, her face flushed red with excitement.
"Senior brother, what are we going to do now?" Xiu Xiu asked.
"Rest for a while. When the time comes, we'll go to the Heavenly Palace."
Gu Qing Shan nodded apologetically at the Deacon General Manager.
The manager led them to an inn to rest.
The two of them settled down. Xiu Xiu was obviously closer to Gu Qing Shan than before. She asked him many questions about cultivation.
Gu Qing Shan also told him everything he knew without holding anything back.
Noon soon arrived. The two of them took out the dry food that Qin Xiaolou had made and ate it. After washing up, they closed their eyes and began to meditate.
About two hours later, the sound of thunder came from the sky outside.
Soon after, there were people shouting everywhere.
"It's time!"
"Everyone, please move out!"
"It's about to begin. You can come out now!"
The cultivators quickly moved. In groups and groups, they gathered together and walked out.
"Senior brother?" Xiu Xiu opened her eyes and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Let's go too." Gu Qing Shan smiled.
The two of them followed the crowd and walked all the way to the top of Mount Wei.
This place had long since been transformed into a spacious square. Cultivators, rogue cultivators, and martial artists who were waiting to be selected stood densely in it, buzzing with discussions.
After a quarter of an hour, someone suddenly came from the sky and shouted, "In twenty breaths, the Heavenly Palace will appear. Everyone, please prepare to go to the Heavenly Palace."
After hearing that, the crowd slowly quieted down. Everyone was ready to go, waiting for the time to come.
"Senior brother, what do they mean by the Heavenly Palace? Second brother said there will be thunder. Is it coming? "Xiu Xiu suddenly asked curiously.
"You'll know when you see it." Gu Qing Shan didn't tell her.
As he said that, he signaled Xiu Xiu to cover her ears. He also did the same.
At this point, a clap of thunder came from the sky. The deafening sound caused quite a few people to cover their ears.
A person standing next to Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed: "Not working hard enough to not even resist the sound of thunder. Hah, this generation of cultivators really isn't as good as we were back then."
Gu Qing Shan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to argue with him.
This wasn't normal thunder, it was thunder from the Heavenly realm. Although it was heard by the ears, it affected the soul vessel, making it so powerful that anyone below Ascended realm wouldn't be able to resist it.
Covering one's ears was the simplest and most effective method.
If one doesn't resist at all, their soul vessel might be damaged.
Sure enough, after the sound of thunder, a voice came next to the person: "Senior brother, why is your nose bleeding?"
The person didn't mind at all, rubbed his nose and said: "Hmph, I cultivated too hard last night, so my cultivation increased a bit today, that's why my veins are bleeding"
Bleeding veins …
Gu Qing Shan was fine with it since she's been through a lot, so she just listened for a bit and let it go. But Xiu Xiu couldn't help but laugh.
Before Xiu Xiu left, not only did her Shifu warn her about the dangers, but her senior brothers also warned her about them, so she knew about the Divine Lightning very well.
The other person's words were too clear (pretentious), and since she's still a child, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The person couldn't take it anymore, glared at her and said: "Little girl, what are you laughing at?"
Saying so, he walked towards her.
Gu Qing Shan instinctively hid Xiu Xiu behind her, saying: "What, you don't allow people to laugh?"
The person angrily snorted: "You're also here with your seniors to participate in the semester examination, don't run into me, otherwise I'll definitely teach you a lesson"
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight and scanned him from top to bottom.
A qi training stage 1 spirit energy wave.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head, unable to even get angry.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the person thought he'd won and proudly turned around.
Everyone around them looked at Gu Qing Shan with disdain.
This young man, he doesn't even dare to say a single word back, is this even considered a cultivator?
Xiu Xiu pulled on Gu Qing Shan's clothes.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, only to see Xiu Xiu whispering: "Senior brother, why didn't you teach him a lesson? If second brother was here, he would've already done it "
Gu Qing Shan stroked her head, saying: "Shifu said that this time, we have to come here safely, and return safely, why would we want to cause trouble?"
"Not to mention" Gu Qing Shan sighed, "he's too weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my strength well"
Xiu Xiu was a bit stunned, then remembered how Qin Xiaolou was sent flying by Gu Qing Shan.
Qin Xiaolou was still Foundation Establishment middle stage.
Xiu Xiu nodded in agreement.
The two of them covered their ears, listening to the Heaven realm's thunder for a while.
Finally, the world calmed down.
As the dark clouds dispersed, a floating palace appeared in the sky.
At first glance, the palace made people couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
The four corners of the palace were guarded by divine statues, the glazed roof tiles were carved with dragons, phoenixes, fishes, fighting bulls, Suanni, Chiwen, and dozens of other divine beasts.
In front of the palace, there was an arched four-sided platform, in front of the platform there was a drum, a table, a brush, and a scroll.
Below the four platforms was a spacious square that hugged the palace tightly.
Even after countless years of wind and rain, this palace still exuded an air of supreme majesty.
Unfortunately, it seemed to have been destroyed by some kind of great power, as half of the building was gone.
Only half of the palace remained.
It silently floated in the air, revealing its incomplete body to the world, as if it was telling people something.
"Heavenly — — Palace!"
