Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: The Heavenly Court’s First Great Formation

Zhong Shan's sudden kiss took Nian Youyou by surprise, but it also filled her heart with a warm sweetness. She closed her eyes, savoring the moment, as a tender farewell memento.

In the distance, Mr. Corpse and the others respectfully turned away, standing guard for Zhong Shan.

Meanwhile, Nü Qinghui had flown to a distant peak, waiting for Nian Youyou. But as time passed and Nian Youyou did not come, the little furball on her shoulder curiously watched in Zhong Shan's direction.

"Chirp? Chirp chirp? Chirp chirp chirp? Chirp...!"

The little furball made strange noises. While Nü Qinghui couldn't translate its language like Nian Youyou could, she sensed its peculiar behavior and turned to look in the direction it was staring.

Catching a glimpse, Nü Qinghui's face stiffened—she saw Zhong Shan and Nian Youyou kissing.

She quickly turned her head away, no longer looking in that direction.

Furrowing her brows, Nü Qinghui thought of Zixun, of herself, and of the current situation with Nian Youyou. Her mind was a whirl of confusion, and it took her a while to regain her composure before sighing softly, "What a tangled fate..."

In the distance, Zhong Shan and Nian Youyou ended their kiss, both smiling gently. Nian Youyou, usually so bold, now showed a rare hint of shyness.

"I have to go," Nian Youyou said, somewhat hesitantly.

"Be careful, and once you're done, come find me," Zhong Shan replied.

"Okay," Nian Youyou responded, her voice tinged with reluctance.

As she was about to fly towards Nü Qinghui, she suddenly grinned mischievously and whispered in Zhong Shan's ear, "I'll put in a good word for you."

With that, Nian Youyou, carrying the joy of their kiss, flew off to join Nü Qinghui.

Zhong Shan watched her go, shaking his head with a smile. "Little minx," he murmured.

After Nian Youyou and Nü Qinghui disappeared from view, Zhong Shan turned his attention back to Luo Xingchen and the others, who quickly flew over to join him.

"Saint King!"

"Let's go. We're heading to the Heavenly Court!" Zhong Shan declared.

The Heavenly Court of the Four Great Continents was a truly extraordinary place, even grander and more imposing than Zhong Shan's Lingxiao Heavenly Court. It was vast, immense, and toweringly high.

High, because parts of the Heavenly Court were even built among the stars, in a realm of profound mystery.

It was said that the Heavenly Court's construction was the work of Hongjun himself, but since Hongjun had perished long ago, the truth remained unknown.

Half a month later.

Zhong Shan and his entourage arrived outside the Heavenly Court, still not yet in the starry sky. The altitude was roughly three times that of the Lingxiao Heavenly Court in Fengzhong Territory.

The scene was breathtaking, with clouds swirling around, cranes soaring in the sky, and countless rays of sunlight illuminating the area with a myriad of colors, creating an otherworldly beauty. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

The group flew directly to the entrance of the Southern Heavenly Gate.

At the gate, a large contingent of silver-armored Heavenly Soldiers stood watch.

"Halt! State your name and purpose!" one of the silver-armored soldiers called out.

Standing on the platform before the Southern Heavenly Gate, Zhong Shan responded solemnly, "Zhong Shan of the Great Zheng Sacred Court, here to seek an audience with the Jade Emperor of Haotian Tongming Palace!"

As soon as Zhong Shan spoke, an aura of authority naturally emanated from him, making it clear he was an individual of significant standing. Luo Xingchen and the others stood behind him, quietly observing the situation.

For his first visit to the Heavenly Court, Zhong Shan ensured that all the necessary formalities were observed.

"Zhong Shan?" one of the Heavenly Soldiers' faces changed as he heard the name.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Zhong Shan felt the movement stop, and soon after, Luo Xingchen, Nangong Sheng, and Mr. Corpse also came to a halt.

The four found themselves standing in the void, surrounded by the infinite expanse of stars. The sight was both awe-inspiring and overwhelming.

In the distance, floating in the starry sky, were three massive, faintly glowing characters:

Lihen Heaven!

However, Erlang Shen was nowhere to be seen.

"Saint King!" Luo Xingchen's expression changed as he called out.

"Stay calm," Zhong Shan reassured him.

"But Erlang Shen has clearly plotted against us!" Luo Xingchen said, clearly upset.

"Haotian will give me an explanation for this," Zhong Shan replied, his eyes cold.

Meanwhile, Erlang Shen did not enter Lihen Heaven but instead returned to the previous hall, laughing heartily.

As he exited the hall, a young man approached—he was carrying a Qian Kun Ring and looked slightly anxious.

"Yang Jian, was that Zhong Shan just now?" the young man, Nezha, asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

"Yes, Nezha, why are you here? Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've avenged you!" Erlang Shen said with a satisfied smile.

"Avenged? What revenge?" Nezha frowned.

"Your family treasure, the Xuanyuan Bow—didn't Zhong Shan take it from you? I lured Zhong Shan into the 'Grand Taiqing Yin-Yang Dust Formation.' This is the Heavenly Court's most powerful formation, left behind by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. Zhong Shan is doomed!" Erlang Shen said with excitement.

"What? You lured Zhong Shan into that formation? Are you crazy?" Nezha shouted.

"Didn't you want revenge?" Erlang Shen retorted, annoyed.

"Who said I wanted revenge? Yang Jian, if you want to kill Zhong Shan, that's your business, but don't drag me into it!" Nezha shot back.

"What's the big deal? Zhong Shan has only been an immortal for a few hundred years. So what? Why are you so alarmed?" Erlang Shen sneered.

"You'd better rescue Zhong Shan immediately, or the consequences will be beyond what you can handle," Nezha warned.

"Hmph, what's done is done. If Zhong Shan has the skill, he'll break the formation and enter Doushuai Palace. If not, that's his problem. Rescue him? Not a chance!" Erlang Shen said coldly.

Nezha gave Erlang Shen a long, hard look. "Suit yourself."

With that, Nezha turned and walked away.

"Hmph!" Erlang Shen snorted as he watched Nezha leave.

At the Eighth Princess's Residence!

"Old man, is it true that Zhong Shan has arrived?" Haomeili asked excitedly.

"He has, but he's been lured into the Grand Taiqing Yin-Yang Dust Formation. The situation is dire—this is a formation left by a saint, deadly even for an Ancestor Immortal," Xidu Huang said, his face full of worry.

"What? We need to go, now! Explain on the way!" Haomeili said, her urgency palpable.

"Yes."

As they hurried along, Haomeili asked, "Old man, do you think someone is deliberately trying to harm Zhong Shan?"

"It seems likely," Xidu Huang replied, his expression dark.

"Whoever it is, they're courting death for trying to harm Zhong Shan!" Haomeili's face grew icy with anger.
