"Okay."
Xiao Hua from the Jade Archive waved his hand and said, "I already know about this. Let's talk about it after I come out of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda."
Wen Qu from the Jade Archive asked curiously, "What's the benefit of being the only Sage of the Heavenly Court?"
"What bullsh * t benefit?"
Xiao Hua from the Jade Archive said angrily, "I was forced to learn the Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation. At this time, I can't do anything else. I can only try my best to master the Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation within a thousand years. Otherwise … I won't be able to practice it in the future!"
"Okay, then there's no need to say anything more."
Wen Qu from the Jade Archive understood and waved her hand. "My friend, go and work hard. The Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation is very important. If you learn it, I will also benefit!"
Wen Qu from the Jade Archive left the space. At this time, the Grand Rhythm of Time at the top of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda had begun to thicken. Xiao Hua knew that the armillary sphere at the same level had begun to control the time in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. He hurriedly unfolded the landscape painting of the Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation.
"Swish ~"
When the landscape painting was unfolded, it immediately glowed with a pale golden light. Xiao Hua easily separated the sub-body of time from his physical body and floated into the landscape painting.
There was no human voice in the landscape painting. However, under the golden light of the Immortal Sacred Tablet, there was a chanting sound. When Xiao Hua heard this, clouds began to surge out from all parts of the sub-body of time. These clouds were like waves, rushing to the top of Xiao Hua's head. Without Xiao Hua activating the Three Flowers, the three flowers had already appeared. Even the True Qi of Yuanxu began to be activated as the clouds surged and began to engrave the Heavenly Flower.
Xiao Hua was overjoyed and began to cultivate the Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation with all his might.
The Secret Skill of Soul Manipulation originally didn't have any realms. However, when Xiao Hua was comprehending it, he used the artistic conception of combining mountains and rivers to divide it into three levels.
The first level was to see mountains as mountains and rivers as rivers. Borrowing from the "Heaven Covering Zhong Xiu Is Thus, Not Limited to Distant Descendants", and gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become Yu Xiu, it became the "Zhong Ling Yu Xiu Formula".
The second level was cultivated in the Ethereal Small Heavenly Realm. When one saw a mountain that was not a mountain, and when one saw a river that was not a river, he learned from the "Four Supreme Clearances, Nine Gates Essence, Mysterious Eyes and Ears, Truth and Spirit". He learned the "Truth and Spirit Formula".
And now, Xiao Hua had the time to enter the mountains and rivers three times, in addition to the warnings of the saints and the illumination of the immortal holy light, he gradually felt the exquisite brush strokes of 'using one's will to craft sentences, creating minute details to the point of subtlety, the work of description can truly be described as a tiny lonely mountain'. After spending seven million three hundred and fifty thousand years, he finally understood that 'seeing a mountain is ultimately a mountain, seeing water is ultimately water'.
Seeing that the Secret Art of Soul Manipulation had finally been completed, Xiao Hua's time body looked up at the incomparably exquisite scrolls around him and smiled. "The brush strokes are exquisite to the point of perfection. The three levels of the Secret Art of Soul Manipulation should be called the Art of Divine Creation!"
Xiao Hua's time body left the scrolls of mountains and rivers, and the Celestial Globe of the same realm immediately appeared. He said weakly, "Xiao Hua, oh Xiao Hua, you've finally come out. I can't hold on any longer!"
Feeling the ripples of time around him disappearing like water, Xiao Hua understood that the Celestial Globe of the same realm was really taking care of him. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, senior."
"Forget it, forget it ~"
The Celestial Globe of the same realm looked at Xiao Hua from head to toe and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm just making a promise. It's good that I can lend you a hand!"
"Senior ~"
Xiao Hua put away the scrolls of mountains and rivers and said respectfully, "Senior, please take back this item."
"Whoever started the trouble should untie it ~"
The Celestial Globe of the same realm waved its hand and said, "You can return it to whoever you took it from."
"Oh?"
Xiao Hua was stunned. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Where is His Majesty?"
"Of course, he's still here ~"
The Celestial Globe of the same realm pointed at the stairs and said, "Go up by yourself!"
Xiao Hua took the scrolls of mountains and bowed to the Immortal Sage Tablet again. "Thank you, seniors. I'll take my leave now. I hope we'll meet again in the future!"
With that, Xiao Hua walked down the stairs.
When Xiao Hua came up from the 76th level, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he was on the sixth level, he realized that there were 108 levels in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. The scrolls of each level were different. It was a rare treasure.
"Your Majesty ~"
Xiao Hua stood in front of the sixth level and said respectfully, "I, Xiao Hua, am here to see you!"
"It's not easy ~"
Emperor Tian Huang's voice sounded from within. "I've waited 1,500 years to see you. Come in!"
"Oh ~"
Xiao Hua entered the pavilion and immediately bowed to express his gratitude. "It's been more than 1,000 years. Looks like Your Majesty is more influential than me. Otherwise, the Celestial Globe of the same realm would've kicked me out a long time ago."
"Hehe, this has nothing to do with me ~"
Emperor Tian Huang waved his hand and said, "I only told them to let me know when you came out of seclusion. I have something to tell you."
"What is it, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Hua knew that Emperor Tian Huang wouldn't press him for the secret technique, so he quickly asked.
"First of all …"
Emperor Tian Huang smiled and said, "I promised Zixia that I would give you a grand wedding if you made a contribution. Now that you've killed Nangong Xun and helped me avert the calamity of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, I think it's time for me to fulfill my promise."
"Well ~"
Xiao Hua pondered for a moment before bringing out the Kunlun Mirror. "I'll have to discuss this with Xin Xin and ask her for her opinion."
However, when Xiao Hua's consciousness entered the Heavenly Court, he discovered that Holy Emperor Kun was currently in seclusion, and she wouldn't be able to come out for at least a year!
"Your Majesty ~"
Xiao Hua had no choice but to tell the truth. "Xin Xin is in seclusion right now, so why don't we talk about this later?"
"Alright ~"
Emperor Tian Huang nodded. "Let me know when you've made your decision."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Hua said gratefully. "If Your Majesty hadn't brought this up, I would've overlooked it."
"Alright."
Emperor Tian Huang waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the Heavenly Court."
Xiao Hua immediately asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any orders for me?"
"I don't have any orders for you ~"
Emperor Tian Huang shook his head. "The only thing I have is a potential calamity!"
"What?"
Xiao Hua turned pale with fright. "Why is there a calamity?"
"Son-in-law ~"
Emperor Tian Huang chuckled. "You're not listening carefully, this is a potential calamity!"
This time, Xiao Hua listened carefully. The mere mention of the word "son-in-law" was enough for him to know that this was no small matter.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua didn't have much of a choice. He could only ask, "Your Majesty, please explain in detail."
"It's like this ~"
Emperor Tian Huang said, "This Sage Selection is different from the previous ones. The sixty-third level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda opened at once. This was due to the accumulated darkness within the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, but more importantly, it was triggered by the presence of the Heavenly Court. As for what that presence is, even I am not sure.
"Also, the five emperors of the Heavenly Court rarely gather together. Whenever they do, something big will happen. The last three gatherings were all related to the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, and two of them were related to my son-in-law …"
Emperor Tian Huang explained the specifics before concluding, "It's not that I didn't sense the calamity in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, but I also sensed the outcome. The outcome was that my son-in-law was able to avert the calamity, but …
"The Lotus Emperor's words have given me a reminder. I can't sense the details, but what if a calamity that even I can't sense occurs? What if this calamity is so great that even the Heaven and Earth Pagoda's calamity is nothing? "
