After Yu Huang stood steadily with the Prime Emperor Taixu's help, she looked up at the sky and saw that the Hou Beast, which looked extremely similar to a dog, was quickly defeated by the golden Sky Dragon. It wanted to escape, but just as its head entered the lightning tribulation cloud, one of its hind legs was grabbed by the Sky Dragon's sharp claws.
The Sky Dragon opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the Hou. Then, it burped and spat out a turbid lightning tribulation cloud.
At this point, the third lightning tribulation cloud was successfully resolved by Sheng Xiao.
When they saw Sheng Xiao destroy dozens of lightning tribulation illusions with one move, everyone gasped.
Yu Huang's clenched fists gradually relaxed.
Black Qing split from Sheng Xiao's body and floated above the Divine Gathering Shield. Then, Sheng Xiao turned into his human form again and stepped on Black Qing's head with his toes.
Swish!
A black light flashed and a black Dragon Sword appeared in Sheng Xiao's hand.
Yu Huang noticed that the Dragon Sword seemed to have become different.
In the past, the Dragon Sword was only a sharp and powerful combat weapon. However, today, Yu Huang discovered that dark golden runes had appeared on the sword.
What on earth was that?!
At this moment, Professor Song suddenly landed lightly beside Yu Huang. He stared at the Dragon Sword as he said with relief, "The Dragon Sword isn't an ordinary Spirit Tool. It's the same as Aofeng. It's a true divine-level Spirit Tool. This kind of divine-level Spirit Tool is even more powerful than the divine artifacts that Divine Masters hire people to forge."
Seeing Yu Huang's puzzled expression, Professor Song explained in detail, "The so-called divine artifacts are essentially level-ten Spirit Tools forged by divine artifact masters. They were given spirits because their masters became Divine Masters. However, divine-level Spirit Tools are true natural spirits. I think that perhaps His Highness completely fused with his previous life and activated the divine spirit of the divine-level Spirit Tool."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang stroked her Aofeng Longbow and said thoughtfully, "In that case, my Aofeng also has a spirit, but it hasn't been activated yet."
"Of course."
Yu Huang frowned slightly and secretly thought about how to activate Aofeng's spirit.
Sheng Xiao held his sword with both hands as he stood on Black Qing. As he stared at the lightning tribulation cloud above his head, he took the initiative to challenge the Great Dao. "Great Dao, what other trump cards do you have? Show them."
The three consecutive bolts of lightning couldn't kill Sheng Xiao. This angered the Great Dao and dark clouds churned violently once again. Then…
Then, it formed a purple-black dragon-shaped thundercloud and struck Sheng Xiao before the dark clouds dissipated…
Sheng Xiao, who raised the Dragon Sword in his hand and was about to attack, was stunned.
They dispersed just like that?
The professors and students who were watching the commotion also looked at each other in dismay.
It seemed that the Great Dao wasn't very powerful.
Seeing that the Great Dao had removed the thundercloud, Professor Song analyzed, "The third lightning tribulation is already the strongest lightning tribulation the Great Dao can use. However, if the three consecutive lightning tribulations didn't defeat Sheng Xiao, the fourth tribulation won't work. Instead of wasting energy on Sheng Xiao, it's better to keep it and prepare to revive."
After saying that, Professor Song frowned and concluded, "He's really going to revive, so he cherishes every bit of strength."
Professor Song's words were like a bucket of cold water that reminded those blindly arrogant Beast Tamers of the harsh reality.
Whether it was the faculty or students, they all stopped underestimating their opponent.
Seeing that the lightning tribulation had dissipated, Sheng Xiao put away the Dragon Sword and suddenly turned to glance at Yu Huang, who was in the crowd. His gaze was filled with longing and reluctance.
Yu Huang touched her stomach and gave Sheng Xiao a reassuring smile.
Sheng Xiao gazed at Yu Huang's stomach deeply before entering the Divine Gathering Shield again.
Seeing that Sheng Xiao went back into seclusion, Yu Huang suddenly asked Professor Song, "Professor, how long have I been in seclusion?"
Professor Song's answer shocked Yu Huang. He said, "It's been a year."
"What?" Yu Huang said in shock, "Didn't they say that time in the Chaos Realm is like that of the real world? I don't think I've been in the Chaos Realm for that long. How did an entire year pass?" After she told a story and absorbed a star, an entire year had passed in the outside world?
"Yes, a year has passed." Thinking that there was only half a year left until the Divination Conference, Professor Song asked Yu Huang, "Did you gain anything from your seclusion this time?" When he asked this, Professor Song was actually very uncertain.
He had spent more than ten thousand years without obtaining the recognition of the Creator. Yu Huang had only been in seclusion for a year, so she probably had not gained anything either.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, he heard Yu Huang say, "I caught a star."
Professor Song's eyes widened. "What did you say? You succeeded?"
Yu Huang nodded. "Yes, I was lucky enough to catch one."
Professor Song asked Yu Huang with a strange expression, "How did you do it?"
Yu Huang told him how she tempted the Creator in a few words.
After hearing this, Professor Song felt mixed feelings.
"What's wrong, Mentor?" Yu Huang asked carefully.
Professor Song seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. He placed his hands behind his back and lamented, "When I was in the Chaos Realm, I didn't even dare to breathe loudly because I was afraid of offending the Creator. I've been cautious for more than 10,000 years, but I haven't been able to obtain the recognition of the Creator. I didn't expect you to actually lure him out just by telling stories inside. This…"
How infuriating!
Professor Song felt exasperated.
Yu Huang hurriedly smoothed Professor Song's back and said, "The Creator must feel very lonely. Back then, when I was the only one left on Earth, I dreamed of someone talking to me. I thought that perhaps the Creator had had enough of loneliness and wanted to chat with someone. That's why it came up with this plan."
Professor Song lamented, "No wonder you became the successor of the Eternal Eye. In this world, you're probably the only one who treats him as a person." Even Professor Song, who had lived for more than ten thousand years, treated the Creator as a god.
Who would dare to act rashly in front of a god?
Seeing that Professor Song was really a little sad, Yu Huang couldn't bear to agitate him anymore, so she entrusted Professor Song to Prime Emperor Taixu. Then, she seized the time to continue her seclusion.
When Yu Huang returned to the Chaos Realm again, she was in a good mood.
She even hummed happily.
"What are you so happy about?" The Creator suddenly appeared and spoke into her ear.
Yu Huang wasn't frightened. She said, "My man successfully broke through to the Prime Master level, so I'm happy."
The Creator waited for Yu Huang to finish humming before saying, "What story are you telling today?"
Yu Huang said, "Today, I'm going to tell the story 'Journey to the West'."
"Journey to the West?"
"Okay."
"What's the story of Journey to the West?"
"A monk called Tang Xuanzang went to the West with three demon beast disciples to obtain scriptures." Yu Huang summarized the entire story in one sentence.
The Creator asked humbly, "Where is the West?"
Yu Huang said, "…Where Buddha lives."
"What is Buddha?" The Creator was very curious and had a lot of questions.
Yu Huang was silent.
"If we compare Buddhism to the Spiritual Energy Dao, then Buddha is the Great Dao." With Yu Huang's analogy, the Creator understood.
Then, the Creator asked, "So obtaining scriptures is like killing the Great Dao? Like you, Tang Xuanzang and his disciples plan to go to the west to kill the Great Dao and take away the nerves of the Great Dao in order to protect their hometown?"
The Creator's analysis was very logical, but it didn't mention the facts.
Yu Huang took a deep breath and patiently explained the meaning of 'acquiring scripture' to the Creator. Then, she started to tell the story again. The Creator listened very seriously. When he heard that Tang Xuanzang had chased Sun Wukong away because of a misunderstanding, he was so angry that his illusionary body was shaking and he couldn't help but curse, "Stupid monk! He's so weak. If Sun Wukong hadn't protected him, he would have died long ago! How could such a stupid person be worthy of being a mentor? What happened after that? Did Sun Wukong come back?"
Yu Huang opened her right palm and said with an impassive expression, "Please give me a star if you want to hear the rest."
The Creator was speechless.
When telling this story, Yu Huang used the part where Tang Xuanzang chased Sun Wukong away three times to exchange for three stars from the Creator. She also used the part where Sun Wukong pretended to be Pigsy to obtain another star. When she talked about the real and fake Monkey King, she also successfully obtained another star…
By the ending, she had exchanged a total of eight stars from the Creator.
"Alright, the story is over. It's time for you to give me eight stars." Yu Huang loved Journey to the West.
The Creator snorted and said with dissatisfaction, "How sly."
Although he scolded Yu Huang for being cunning, the Creator still followed his promise and gave Yu Huang eight stars. Seeing the eight stars flying over from the depths of the Chaos at the same time, Yu Huang immediately abandoned the Creator and flew towards the stars…
With her previous experience absorbing the power of the universe, Yu Huang's efficiency increased greatly this time.
Just as she finished absorbing the power of the fifth star, she sensed that someone was calling her.
Yu Huang could only temporarily leave the Chaos Realm. She opened her eyes and opened the barrier before walking out.
Professor Song was wearing a nice suit as he stood in front of Cultivation Platform No. 1. He sized up Yu Huang for a few seconds before nodding in satisfaction as he said to Yu Huang, "The day after tomorrow is the day of the Divination Conference's preliminary competition. Yu Huang, are you ready?"
Yu Huang smiled confidently. "Mentor, let's go. I'll accompany you to crash the party."
