Since there was such an opportunity to cultivate in seclusion, how could Xiao Hua not be willing to cultivate to the end?
Unfortunately, just as Xiao Hua was engraving the Earth Flower's petals into his Time Avatar, strands of yellow clouds suddenly appeared in the painting. These clouds landed around Xiao Hua's Time Avatar and immediately took on the shape of a yellow cong.
A wry smile appeared on Xiao Hua's face. He knew that this was Emperor Tian Huang's doing, and he had no choice but to extricate himself from the painting and return to his physical body. At this moment, yellow clouds had also emerged from the green willow forest.
Xiao Hua first inspected his physical body's cultivation in the Divine Guard Tower before transforming into the Mind Divine Confucian Statue and flying out.
Sure enough, as soon as he left the painting, Emperor Tian Huang's voice came from the yellow cong clouds all around him. "Son-in-law, how are your injuries?"
"Your Majesty ~"
Xiao Hua bowed with a smile. "Your son-in-law's injuries are mostly healed. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
"Alright ~"
Emperor Tian Huang then asked, "If that's the case, can we begin the task that we agreed on?"
"Of course ~"
Xiao Hua replied without hesitation. "What do you need me to do, Your Majesty?"
"Woo ~"
As soon as Xiao Hua finished speaking, a cloud rushed out and formed a Cloud Festival. Emperor Tian Huang's voice could be heard. "During the thousand years that you've been in seclusion to recover from your injuries, there have been fights between families and academies all over the Heavenly Court. Even the branches of the Twelfth Tower would occasionally have fights. I suspect that the Nangong Family is behind this, but I have no proof.
"Recently, strange things have happened at the border between the Yellow City and the Crimson City. A branch of the Crimson Phoenix Tower called the Xian Lin Pavilion was annihilated. Someone saw Dao Immortals casting spells in the area. That's why people say that you went to the Crimson Phoenix Tower to look for the Heavenly Court's edicts and secret techniques.
"My Yellow City Battle Team went to investigate, but they were all annihilated as well …"
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, there are already rumors. Why do you still want me to go? Isn't this like sending a lamb to the tiger's den? "
"No ~"
Emperor Tian Huang replied. "This is called throwing a stone to test the waters!"
"You threw your son-in-law in like a stone. Aren't you afraid of throwing meat buns at dogs?"
Xiao Hua said, "Nangong Xun is much more powerful than Emperor Zi Tong!"
"As far as I know ~"
Emperor Tian Huang comforted him. "Nangong Xun hasn't severed the Three Flower yet, so his strength should be about the same as Emperor Zi Tong's. Furthermore, my dear son-in-law, setting aside the fact that I made a promise to you a long time ago, this Fortune Tower that suddenly appeared in the Yellow City …"
"Your Majesty ~"
Xiao Hua didn't even wait for Emperor Tian Huang to finish before he patted his own chest. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would go back on his word? Not to mention the agreement between this son-in-law and His Majesty, this son-in-law will definitely pay a visit to the exterminated Xian Lin Pavilion, a branch of the Scarlet Pheasant House! "
"Not bad, not bad ~"
A gratified smile appeared on Emperor Tian Huang's face. "As expected of my son-in-law. You are a benevolent and magnanimous man!"
"Son-in-law, I'll head there right away."
Xiao Hua grabbed Mo Xiantong and said, "I hope that when I get there, there are still clues to be found!"
"Hehe ~"
Emperor Tian Huang laughed like a sly old fox. "Don't worry, my dear son-in-law. I'll send you there in the shortest amount of time possible!"
"If that's the case … Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Hua couldn't come up with an excuse no matter how hard he thought about it, so he could only smile.
"Let's go ~"
Following Emperor Tian Huang's command, the yellow cones in the surroundings quickly gathered under Xiao Hua's feet.
Xiao Hua didn't dare to delay and quickly put away the Capital Star Formation and the Lin Quan Gao Yi Painting.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When all the yellow cones merged into one, there were tens of thousands of jade ribbons on it. These ribbons tore through the void, and another yellow cones appeared. This yellow cones looked the same as the one under Xiao Hua's feet, but the light was blurry and there was an extremely dense aura of time around it!
Xiao Hua cupped his fists at Gao Tian and said, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now!"
After that, Xiao Hua stepped onto the yellow cones and flew onto the jade ribbons. Then, he followed the jade ribbons and landed on one yellow cones after another.
At first, Xiao Hua only needed to take a few steps to travel between the two yellow cones. However, after a while, his footsteps began to slow down. It was as if he was flying through mud. After several yellow cones, Xiao Hua heard a cracking sound. It was as if glass had been shattered, and the jade ribbons around him were all shattered. When the yellow cones beneath his feet split open, heaven and earth were also split open. Before him was a lush bamboo forest.
Xiao Hua stepped out, and one of the yellow cones behind him slowly disappeared. Xiao Hua counted with his fingers, and he was left speechless. He had only stepped on three hundred and sixty yellow cones in the void, and several years had passed in the Heavenly Court!
"Father-in-law, this yellow cones technique looks to be much more powerful than the Nangong Family's Serene Bamboo Path ~"
Xiao Hua looked at the bamboo forest around him and couldn't help rubbing his chin. He thought to himself, "Why don't I get this technique one day?"
As he thought about it, Xiao Hua suddenly slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Xiao is too greedy. This is the Hong Cones' control technique. I'm afraid only Father-in-law can use it. Why would he give it to Xiao?"
"This should be the border between the Emperor Grand Heaven Domain and the Kui Heavenly Domain ~"
Xiao Hua put away his distracting thoughts and released Wannian to explore the surroundings. He muttered to himself, "Xiao should also leave a way out for my Fortune Gate's disciples here!"
As Xiao Hua had expected, there were no signs of people within ten million li of him. Although there were signs of people in the distance, they were all Wind Immortals. They weren't worth mentioning, and there was nothing special about them.
Then, Xiao Hua left a soul imprint nearby, and his consciousness entered the space.
"Eh?"
Jade Archive Xiao Hua saw Jade Archive Wen Qu waiting in the void. He asked curiously, "What's the matter, Fellow Daoist?"
"Fellow Daoist, when is the Sage Selection?"
Jade Archive Wen Qu asked.
"What do you mean?"
Jade Archive Xiao Hua asked curiously, "Didn't you already participate?"
"Hehe ~"
Jade Archive Wen Qu smiled mysteriously and said, "Many students are betting on when Fellow Daoist will participate in the Sage Selection. If Fellow Daoist tells me in advance, I can make a lot of money!"
"If nothing goes wrong, I can participate in the Sage Selection this time ~"
Jade Archive Xiao Hua thought for a while and said, "But I's strength is only at the second stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. I don't know …"
"Don't ~"
Jade Archive Wen Qu waved his hand without thinking and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't participate in the Sage Selection before you reach the ninth stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. Otherwise, you won't be able to get the title of the Sage Selection. It will be a waste of your reputation."
"I don't intend to get the title of Sage Selection ~"
Jade Archive Xiao Hua smiled and said, "And I's currently …"
Jade Archive Xiao Hua looked at the Cloud Festival in his hand and said, "I's currently at the Smoky Shadow Bamboo at the border between the Emperor Hong Heaven Domain and the Kui Heavenly Domain. I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to participate in the Sage Selection."
"Fellow Daoist, why are you in the Kui Heavenly Domain?"
Jade Archive Wen Qu asked anxiously, "Fellow Daoist, shouldn't you come to the White Jade Capital?"
