126 – Void Illusionary Divine Palace
Xiao Yan already told Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun about the soul seals he put on those who tried to bully them.
They didn't mind, even if he was a devil they would still love him.
In the painting, he first gave each of the two fiancees new recipes with a storage ring filled with ingredients.
He used the Philosopher's Ring to duplicate these two rings from the one Duan Jian filled for him.
Next, he gave them some space and went fighting against Murong Yu.
He didn't know why but he felt much better fighting that bully instead of his friends, even if they were far stronger than the latter.
——————————
They spent nearly four years in the painting-artifact.
It required that time for Xiao Yan to finally feel satisfied about the Heavenly Star and then the Heavenly Axis Realm!
His fiancees were already 9-Axis Heavenly Axis when he was still enjoying his 3-Star Heavenly Star, but he told them to wait for him before making their breakthrough to the Dao of Dragon Realm.
If he wasn't fighting, he would be with them, either flirting or teaching them.
At one point he finished teaching them everything he knew about alchemy, so he started to teach them about inscriptions and everything else he knew of.
When they didn't have anymore ingredients, he duplicated the first ring again.
He didn't mind as the Deity Lakes were now altogether giving him around two million Spiritual Stones and two thousand Spiritual Stone Essences each month.
The four also integrated with Mutated God Level Growth Rate Dragon Bloodline Demon Spirits suitable to their attributes.
As for Xiao Yan, even if he could integrate with nine different demon spirits, he decided to let the other four slots free for now.
Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun also started sparring each other to hone their skills.
Xiao Yan proposed them to leave the painting-artifact if they felt too bored but they refused.
After two years, he started consuming their pills to become a 3-Axis Heavenly Axis.
For Murong Yu, he just duplicated hundreds of Heavenly Note Dews for him, enough to reach the peak of 9-Axis Heavenly Axis.
Another two years and he finally decided to cultivate, reaching the peak of 9-Axis Heavenly Axis.
——————————
Once they left the painting-artifact, Murong Yu left the house while the three lovers slept until next morning.
Gu Bei once again gave him a ring with hundreds thousand demon spirits.
{Damn, it seems like Excellent Growth Rate Demon Spirits sell like hotcakes!}
This time, Xiao Yan gave him a batch of ten thousand demon spirits.
——————————
After Redsoul's lesson, he gave Li Xingyun's demon spirits to Duan Jian and told his fiancees that he would be back in one or two hours for a surprise.
Xiao Yan used the LoHP to locate the Void Illusionary Divine Palace and used his teleportation power to go there.
He drew hundreds of space-time inscription patterns around the palace and when he activated them, the whole area got transfered inside of his painting-artifact.
The inscriptions also made it so that the people inside of the palace wouldn't notice anything.
——————————
Back home, he found two eagerly waiting fiancees.
They knew that if he said it was going to be a surprise, it was definitely going to be worth it!
He chuckled and took them inside of the painting-artifact in front of the array protecting the palace.
Going there himself, he then activated the TDSB.
As they looked at what was in front of them with wide eyes, he said, "This is the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, where Ancestral Master Daozang left his inheritance. Normally, it would open only once every six years. For hundreds thousand of years, countless Martial Ancestors failed to break through it. I wonder if my fiancees are incredible enough to do it?"
They laughed as they started to analyze the first inscription pattern barrier, the Thousand Illusionary Array.
Xiao Yan backed off a little to let them stay at the front.
——————————
Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were really enjoying themselves.
After they got rid of the first barrier, they entered a hall filled with chests and traps.
They managed to open the chests without activating the traps.
The first time a Heavenly Axis Puppet jumped out of one of the chests, Ye Ziyun freaked out and screamed while destroying it, earning her the laughs of her sister and her lover.
They spent a few days to take all of the treasures in the outer halls before going in the inner one, fighting all of the Heavenly Star and Heavenly Axis Blackwater Venom Spiders along the way.
While looking at them, he was also using the Nightmare Demon Pot to refine the last batch of demon spirits he received from Gu Bei.
Inside of the inner hall, they found around a hundred humans and demons cultivating in front of a Spiritual Void Wall.
They weren't fighting because the Heavenly Energy became more and more stagnant in front of that wall.
Their cultivation ranged from the Heavenly Star to the Dao of Dragon Realm.
For them, cultivating here was much faster than in the outside world.
It wasn't due to the concentration of Heavenly Energy but to the God Tongue Cultivation Technique inscribed on the wall.
By comprehending bits of it, they were able to make huge progresses in their cultivation.
The wall didn't have any effect on Xiao Yan thanks to his flawless cultivation technique.
He didn't hesitate and kill all of them, happily taking their storage rings afterward.
His fiancees didn't need his help to understand the Spiritual Void Wall and the three passed through it together.
The other side was the main hall of the Void Illusionary Divine Palace.
His fiancees still couldn't use any Heavenly Energy in here.
It looked like a throne room, with majestic pillars on either side of a long red carpet.
Xiao Yan concentrated on the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting to feel everything within the palace.
With a thought, he killed the two strongest existences who were in the palace.
Both were tens million years old powerful remnant spirits, but inside of his painting-artifact they were just ants in front of the youngster.
They dissipated without even knowing what happened.
