"Damn it, it's finally time …"
Xiao Hua cursed in a low voice and put away the Rotating Dome Elephant Chapter. In the entire universe, the sun, moon, and stars slowly disappeared. However, it was also at this time that illusions suddenly appeared in the three lights of the Triple Mountain Range's seven winding streams. Some indescribable brilliance fell into Xiao Hua's eyes.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Hua was pleasantly surprised. He exclaimed, "Hai Zhongrun? Shan Zhongfeng? As expected, there are two more chapters to the Rotating Dome Elephant Chapter! "
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua didn't have time to carefully comprehend these lights. The landscape in front of him changed again, and the man and woman who had just entered the painting appeared again.
"What a good 'seeing mountains as mountains, water as water'!"
Xiao Hua clapped and praised, "What a good 'seeing mountains as mountains, water as water'!"
Then, Xiao Hua ignored the situation outside the pavilion and hastily sat down cross-legged. After another thousand years, Xiao Hua smiled and opened his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed at a spot. An emerald green mountain shape appeared. Although this mountain shape wasn't a picture scroll, as far as his eyes could see, there were mountains and rivers flashing with profound meanings.
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Spirit Manipulation isn't a secret technique, but it's hard to comprehend. Xiao continued, making the first level of the Spirit Manipulation Secret Technique to pass down to the future generations!"
"Zhong means to gather, and Yu means to nurture. This technique gathers the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and cultivates the human race. Let's call it the Zhong Ling Yu Technique!"
With that, Xiao Hua's time clone came out of the painting.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Hua returned to his senses. He didn't have time to look at the cultivation progress of the Stepping God Watchtower. He exclaimed, "It's been almost six million years. No wonder the immortal officials are calling. Xiao is in trouble …"
With that, Xiao Hua hurried out of the pavilion.
"I'm Zhao Cheng. Congratulations, Xiao Wenzong …"
As soon as Xiao Hua came out of the sixth floor of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, he bumped into Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng cupped his fists and congratulated him.
"I'm sorry!"
Xiao Hua said apologetically, "I accidentally cultivated … for almost a thousand years. I've caused you trouble."
"Don't worry, don't worry ~"
Zhao Cheng hurriedly smiled apologetically and said in a low voice, "Lord Kong has already instructed that the hundred-year period is only for others. Xiao Wenzong is the only scholar in our Heavenly Court's Elite Selection, so there's no need to be so formal. We can only wait for Xiao Wenzong to cultivate the secret technique to perfection. We cannot disturb him before the Elite Selection. Furthermore, after Xiao Wenzong, the results of this year's Elite Selection will be unsightly …"
"Ah?"
Xiao Hua was stunned. He thought that Zhao Cheng had called him out, but he didn't know that this wasn't the case.
Xiao Hua sensed it and smiled bitterly. It turned out that the shadow clone on the second level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda had been disturbed by another student from the Elite Selection.
Xiao Hua looked at the pavilion behind him. After he came out, the Time Essence of the Celestial Armillary Sphere had already dissipated. Xiao Hua could imagine the bitter smile on the Celestial Armillary Sphere's face. He couldn't help but sigh. "What a pity ~"
Of course, even if the Time Essence was still there, he couldn't go in to cultivate again. It was fine if he didn't know before, but now that he knew that he had been delayed for a thousand years, how could he not feel embarrassed?
However, Xiao Hua's eyes turned, and fear appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "So it's another Elite Selection. I don't dare to delay the Elite Selection of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Goodbye!"
"Please ~"
Zhao Cheng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I'll send Xiao Wenzong off. Ah …"
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Hua was shocked. He knew that things weren't good. He left in such a hurry because he didn't want to return the scroll of the Secret Technique of Yi Ling!
After all, he had just comprehended the Seeing Mountains as Mountains and Seeing Water as Water, but it was only the first level of the Secret Technique of Yi Ling.
"Xiao Wenzong is already an Earth Immortal of the Prime Clarity realm?"
Zhao Cheng looked at Xiao Hua in surprise and said, "It will be the Elite Selection in another five thousand years. Xiao Wenzong can participate in the Elite Selection again and become the only scholar in the Heavenly Court."
"Five thousand years!"
Hearing that there were still five thousand years before the Elite Selection, Xiao Hua's heart bled. If the shadow bodies weren't disturbed, he could still cultivate for another fifty million years. By then, he would probably be a Heaven Immortal of the Grand Clarity realm. Who would participate in the Elite Selection?
"Goodbye ~"
Xiao Hua was really heartbroken. He quickly flew toward the fifth level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda.
Zhao Cheng didn't know how he offended Xiao Hua, but he didn't dare to say much. He followed Xiao Hua behind his back.
Xiao Hua flew out of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda and collected the tens of thousands of shadow bodies.
"Xiao Wenzong ~"
Zhao Cheng raised his hand and took out a brush. He smiled and said, "Where are you going? Are you going back to the Heavenly Book Academy? "
"No need!"
Xiao Hua looked at the vague outlines of flowers around the Heaven and Earth Pagoda and said, "Which city is the closest to here?"
"Yellow City, of course ~"
Zhao Cheng answered.
"Yellow City it is then!"
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "I haven't been to Yellow City before. Let's tour around Yellow City!"
Xiao Hua didn't want to tour Yellow City. He wanted to go wherever was close to Yellow City so that he wouldn't be chased by the Literature Song Sacred Palace.
"Alright!"
Zhao Cheng smiled and waved his brush in the air. A stream of water with nine bends appeared out of nowhere. Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
"Xiao Wenzong, please ~"
Zhao Cheng put away his brush and cupped his hands again. "I, Zhao Cheng, will wait here for Xiao Wenzong's return after five thousand years!"
"Goodbye, goodbye ~"
Xiao Hua cupped his hands, stepped on the water, and hurried away.
It wasn't until the Heaven and Earth Pagoda disappeared behind him and Xiao Hua landed somewhere that he finally felt relieved.
"That's strange ~"
Xiao Hua looked at the landscape painting in his space and thought to himself, "I thought this secret skill could only be learned and not taken away? Why didn't anyone ask Xiao for it? "
Ordinary secret skills could be learned, recorded, and taken out of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. However, there was no way to copy the Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation. Therefore, Xiao Hua could only learn it in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda.
However, the Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation wasn't given to Xiao Hua directly by the Literature Song Sacred Palace. Instead, it was given to Xiao Hua by Emperor Tian Huang on the sixth floor. Now that the landscape painting had disappeared, how could the Literature Song Sacred Palace dare to ask Emperor Tian Huang?
Most importantly, the secret skill in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda couldn't be taken out of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Xiao Hua had directly sent the landscape painting into the space and avoided the detection of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. How could Xiao Hua know about this?
Since no one asked for it, Xiao Hua naturally wouldn't take the initiative to return it. He looked left and right. In the distant fog-like clouds, there were layers of mountains and rivers surging. Xiao Hua knew that it was the Yellow City of the Great Emperor Heaven Domain. Hence, he urged his body to fly towards the clouds.
However, after flying for about ten thousand miles, Xiao Hua slapped his forehead and said, "Damn, Xiao Xiao forgot that the Heavenly Court's Earth Immortals and Shangqing Earthly Immortals all have to go to the Heaven and Earth Pagoda to participate in the Sage Selection. That means that the Heaven and Earth Pagoda can lead to the five cities. Why didn't Xiao think of asking Zhao Cheng to send Xiao directly to White Jade Capital?"
However, just as Xiao Hua was regretting, he suddenly raised his head and looked in a direction in surprise. He whispered, "How … how is that possible? When did he reach the Heavenly Court? "
