At the Heavenly Palace.

  The Jade Emperor did not look well. He felt disturbed and was tired from being busy.

  He thought that the eldritch lands would be at peace when Styx Laozu was gone. He thought that everyone could have their happily-ever-after. However, trouble knocked on their doors again.

  He thought about that anxious feeling from three days ago. He still had chills from it.

  He also sent someone to inspect the place afterward so that he could confirm it.

  By the looks of it, plus information from a reliable source, a super-powerful being made a move!

  “No peace in our world!”


  The Jade Emperor looked as depressing as a dark cloud. He could only sigh in the end. “Styx Laozu was already so powerful before he became a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. If a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal shows up, they could easily slap us to death. What shall we do, what shall we do?!”


  He had to panic.

  It was easy to tell that the incomer was a threat! The Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal was from another realm, most probably not the friendly type.

  The Jade Emperor did not know where the Saints or Daozu were. He could not handle it on his own!

  The Empress comforted him, “Jade Emperor, you don’t need to panic. The aura of that person’s gone, right? If they wanted to cause havoc, they would’ve. Also… we have…the expert!”


  “No, no! It’s precisely because of the expert that I’m so nervous.”


  The Jade Emperor shook his head and said with seriousness, “The expert arrived at our world. It’s our honor. The expert was kind enough to bless us with opportunities, but…we can’t ever rely on the expert! Not at all!”


  The Empress was silent for a moment. She nodded and said, “I know.”


  “All we can do right now is to perform well in front of the expert. We should hope that the expert stays happy. It’s our honor if he rewards us. It’s also reasonable even if he did not give us any rewards. If anything happens, we have to protect the expert! We should help the expert!”


  The Jade Emperor’s eyes flickered. He looked very worried. “I’m worried that…the expert would be disinterested in our land if we messed up again. He might just leave.”


  The Empress also said in a low voice, “We’re sinners if we can’t help the expert!”


  The Jade Emperor said, “The expert has helped us enough. So…before the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal tries to cause trouble, we have to know more about the situation. Even if we risk our lives!”


  Suddenly, Taibai Jinxing rushed in with excitement. “Emperor, Empress, Nanan’s here. I think it’s because of the expert!”


  “The expert?!”


  The Jade Emperor and the Empress hurriedly stood up. “Hurry, don’t let her wait.”


  Soon, they arrived at the Linxiao Palace. Nanan was waiting there. They immediately smiled and asked, “Lady Nanan, are you here because of the expert?”


  “Greetings to the Emperor and Empress.”


  Nanan obediently saluted. However, she looked kind of funny because she was too young. She replied, “My brother’s making a delicious meal out of Qiongqi’s meat. I came here to invite you all to the meal. I hope the Heavenly Palace can show up.”


  “Invite us?”


  The Jade Emperor and Empress were pleasantly surprised. “We’ll show up… No, wait, it’s our honor. It’s our honor to attend!”


  They felt like an opportunity had fallen from the sky. They were able to go visit the expert. Even breathing in the four-part architecture was worth it!

  In other words, ‘the expert is inviting you to seize a huge opportunity, will you go?

  ‘Only fools won’t go!’


  Taibai Jinxing was baffled. He was almost drooling.

  However, he knew that he could not attend. After all, he did not capture Qiongqi.

  ‘Sigh. Why would you let me hear about this? This is torture! I’m so pained that I can’t breathe.’


  The Jade Emperor asked, “Lady Nanan, did the expert say anything else?”


  “Um…” Nanan thought about it and said, “Oh, yeah, Sister Goddess Nuwa’s in the four-part architecture.”


  “What? Empress Nuwa!” Everyone was shocked. Then, they exclaimed, “Are you sure it’s Saint Nuwa?”


  “I’m sure.”


  Nanan nodded and said, “Three days ago, my brother saved me and Empress Nuwa. Empress Nuwa was badly injured, too. She just woke up. My brother must’ve thought about that so he told me to invite you all.”


  ‘Three days ago?’


  The Jade Emperor and the Empress were well aware of that. They immediately looked at each other and asked, “Lady Nanan, may I ask what happened three days ago?”


  “Things went down three days ago! Let me tell you…”


  Nanan told them everything.

  She was around Li Nianfan, listening to his stories and watching television. She became a fantastic storyteller under his influence. She described the settings, her emotions, and the dangerous scenarios perfectly.

  The Jade Emperor and the others were mesmerized. They held their breaths throughout the story.

  Especially at the end of the story. When they heard about how the Peach Wood Sword killed the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal when Nanan was on the verge of death, they simultaneously gasped. They were truly frightened.

  ‘A sword charm carved from wood killed the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!

  ‘This…this…


  ‘This is just a story, right? How can it be so scary?!

  ‘That was a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal! He’s much more powerful than Styx Laozu. He must be as powerful as an eldritch Saint.’ They knew that the expert was powerful but they realized their estimation was way off.

  ‘How powerful can he be?

  ‘How can someone own so much power?’


  Everyone felt a chill go down their spines. They did not want to imagine it.

  If they knew that the Peach Wood Sword also killed the Immortal across the dimension, they would question their lives.

  Phew—


  The Jade Emperor sighed in relief. He was shocked but also glad. “Can’t believe that our problem has been solved by the expert. Also, he saved Empress Nuwa. The expert…is too good for our realm!”


  The Empress said with a trembling voice, “That was a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. The expert saved our lives again!”


  Yang Jing looked determined. He exclaimed, “We have to work hard for the expert, let’s not waste the expert’s efforts!”


  The Jade Emperor rushed them, “Alright. The expert invited us. We shall not delay it any longer. Let’s go.”


  The Empress reminded him, “Jade Emperor, the expert invited us. We can’t go there empty-handed.”


  Everyone stopped in their tracks. They looked troubled.

  “So true, Empress! So true! Thanks for reminding me, I almost made a huge mistake!”


  The Jade Emperor kept nodding. He looked troubled as he said, “But… What should we give the expert?”


  Everyone fell into deep thought. They hated that they were weak cultivators. They could not give the expert anything valuable.

  “Spiritual Treasures aren’t suitable. We have to give the expert something he’d like.”


  Everyone discussed. Suddenly, the Jade Emperor lifted his hand and said, “Bring up the World Map.”


  Taibai Jinxing immediately went to get the World Map. Soon, a map was placed in front of everyone.

  The map was divided into three realms. Every geographical area was marked and labeled clearly. Special areas or areas with Demons were also described on the map.

  The map was recent. The Jade Emperor decided to make it because of a hint from Li Nianfan. The map was refined and well-made.

  Everyone was astounded by the map.

  ‘This is super clear and easily understandable!’


  “The expert’s truly the expert. He told me that traveling is inconvenient without a map. So, I followed his idea and created a map. I didn’t expect it’d be so useful to the Heavenly Palace, too!”


  The Jade Emperor was impressed. The map was crucial for ruling the three realms. Moreover…he could provide better services for the expert.

  Furthermore, the map was useful for hunting if the expert wanted to eat poultry.

  The Empress asked, “Is this what you assigned Hong and Cheng to do?”


  “Yeah. I told them to observe the three realms. If problems were to arise, they’d deal with it and solve the problems. If there are no situations, they’d draw the map. The result’s amazing.”


  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Come on. Look at the map and see if we can give anything to the expert.”


  Everyone looked at the map and searched.

  Yang Jing was focused. He had three eyes so his eyesight was more sharp and effective than the others.

  He exclaimed, “Peacock Saintess?”


  “Peacock Saintess…”


  The Jade Emperor said, “The Peacock King naturally couldn’t escape when Buddhism was destroyed. It probably used its Rainbow Light to preserve its own kind. After many years, the Peacock Saintess was the result of evolution.”


  The Empress had to speak up, “The Peacock Saintess is still a youngling. It’s one of a kind in the eldritch world. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to hunt it down.”


  She would not allow the Peacock Saintess to become soup. She wanted the Peacock Saintess to grow peacefully.

  Yang Jing shook his head and said, “No, you misunderstood, Empress. I meant… Can she lay eggs?”


  Everyone was dumbfounded.

  He had hit the nail on the head.

  ‘Of course. The expert has a lot of Firefinches, right? They’re there to lay eggs!’


  However, they laid the same type of egg. If the Peacock could lay eggs, that would be a Peacock Egg. The expert could have a new ingredient for his meals. The expert would be glad!

  Moreover… The Peacock Saintess was one of a kind. It would be amazing. Her eggs…would be extraordinary. The expert would like it!

  The Jade Emperor nodded and complimented, “Nice idea, nice idea! Yang Jing, I’m truly impressed!”


  “What are we waiting for? No time for delays, let’s go!”
