The Expounding Teaching paved the way, and Xiong Meng took the blame (two chapters in one)

Yinglong left the High Firmament Hall, his heart full of bewilderment, and flew toward Doushuai Palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Juliusun and the other Four Heavenly Kings were frantic. They wanted to send a voice transmission back to Mount Kunlun and tell the Authority God that something had changed in the Heavenly Court. The route they had cleared so Chenxiang could smoothly "steal" the Immortal Pills might well be blocked by the Heavenly Sovereign. But this was the High Firmament Hall, right under Ao Yue's nose. How could they transmit a message? Ao Yue would notice immediately.

With no other choice, they could only clench their hands and wait anxiously for the court session to end.

Elsewhere.

Whoosh!

Chi You tore through the air with Chenxiang, landing not far from the South Heaven Gate and hiding within an auspicious cloud.

"Look. The Heavenly Court is heavily guarded!" Chi You pointed ahead as he spoke to Chenxiang beside him.

Looking at the burly Divine General before the South Heaven Gate and the many Heavenly Soldiers behind him, Chenxiang nodded solemnly. The security was indeed tight. He then asked Chi You, "Master, how are we supposed to get inside?"

Chi You glanced above the South Heaven Gate. Seeing nothing hanging there, he told Chenxiang, "You're lucky, kid. There's actually no Demon-Illuminating Mirror above the South Heaven Gate today. If there were, sneaking into the Heavenly Court wouldn't be so easy. Listen, it's time to test your Eight-Nine Profound Art. Take the appearance of someone you think can enter and leave the Heavenly Court freely. Then we'll walk straight up together, pass through the Heavenly Gate, and enter the Heavenly Court!"

Chi You had learned the Eight-Nine Profound Art from the Expounding Teaching, and naturally, he had passed it on to Chenxiang.
