Beneath the Heavenly Screen, in the Douluo Continent.
Seeing this scene, countless people displayed a variety of expressions.
" Dai Mubai... this is too tragic!" someone whispered.
"Tragic? He deserved it!"
Someone from the Star Luo Empire immediately retorted, "Who told him to treat Zhu Zhuqing so badly before? He ran off to the Heaven Dou Empire alone, and now look what's happened—his fiancée is going to serve that Heavenly Emperor, while he's eating prison food. It's karma!"
"But honestly, Zhu Zhuqing looks so beautiful in that outfit... like a fairy."
"That's a magical artifact! How could it not be beautiful? And did you hear that? There's some kind of formation inside those clothes... Tsk tsk, no wonder it's a treasure from another world."
"By the way, what exactly is this ' Upper Heavenly Palace '? It sounds really amazing."
"It must be the palace of Heavenly Court! Maybe it really is in Heaven!"
" Zhu Zhuqing is about to rise to the top in one step... From a down-on-her-luck noblewoman being hunted down, she's gone straight to being a maidservant by the Heavenly Emperor's side. What a stroke of luck..."
" Dai Mubai must be regretting it to death right now, haha!"
Various discussions arose everywhere.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing and Jiang Wanwan had already left the Heavenly Prison Workshop and arrived at a spacious square.
In the center of the square, there is a high platform made of white jade, covered with intricate patterns.
Jiang Wanwan pulled Zhu Zhuqing up to the high platform, then took out a jade talisman from her bosom and gently pressed it into the groove in the center of the platform.
The next moment, the jade talisman shone brightly.
The patterns on the platform lit up one by one, emitting a soft white light that enveloped the two of them.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a blur before her eyes, and her body felt light, as if she were floating.
When she came to her senses, she was already standing above a sea of clouds.
Before me lay a magnificent and indescribable palace complex.
The magnificent palaces and pavilions, with their carved beams and painted rafters, are shrouded in ethereal mist and bathed in countless rays of light.
The palaces stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly occupying the entire sky.
Above the main gate of the palace hangs a huge plaque with three ancient characters written in a flowing, elegant style.
Upper Heavenly Palace.
Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at everything before her, her small mouth unconsciously opening and remaining closed for Jiujiu.
This... this is the Heavenly Court?
This is... the place where the emperor she is to serve lives?
At this moment, in front of the Heavenly Screen the Douluo Continent.
When that magnificent and splendid " Upper Heavenly Palace" complex, seemingly built on the entire sky and with Liuyun clouds and rosy light as its bricks and tiles.
As the misty, ethereal atmosphere and the radiant glow of the sunset appeared on the screen, the entire continent was gripped by a near-frozen awe.
In the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, Dai Tianfeng suddenly stood up from his throne, his imperial robes fluttering wildly behind him due to the force of the movement.
He stared intently Heavenly Screen the palace amidst the sea of clouds in the sky, his usually dignified and profound eyes now filled with disbelief.
"This... this is the Heavenly Court of another world?"
His voice had a slight dryness that he himself was unaware of.
As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, he prided himself on having seen all the world's splendor. The Star Luo City Palace was already the most magnificent building on the continent, but compared to the palace before him... no, it was simply incomparable.
That majestic structure suspended above the sea of clouds, that Daoist charm flowing naturally between the carved beams and painted rafters...
Every tile and every pillar seemed to contain the profound aura of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, transcending the category of "architecture" and more like a concrete manifestation of some kind of "Tao".
"With clouds as its foundation and rosy hues as its adornment, the palaces stretch as far as the eye can see..."
"What immense power would it take to build such a palace? It's even more outrageous than White Emperor City. Could it truly have been Fortune from nothingness with supreme Magic Power?"
Shrek Academy's playground was completely silent.
Xiao Wu covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise. "This... this is too beautiful!"
It's ten thousand times more beautiful than the Lake of Life in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest!
"Will Zhu Zhuqing be living in a place like this from now on?"
Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had been accustomed to luxury since childhood, but at this moment, all she could feel was amazement:
"This isn't about being pretty or not... it's about something else entirely."
Look at the materials used in those buildings, the luster, the natural, seamless feel... No gem or jade in our world can compare."
Oscar murmured, "I suddenly feel that Zhu Zhuqing being chosen as a maid might not be such a bad thing after all..."
Ma Hongjun nodded vigorously. "It's more than just not a bad thing! This is an incredible opportunity! Fatty, if I had this luck..."
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin unusually lost his usual composure.
This Peak Douluo, renowned throughout the continent for his swordsmanship, was currently using his keen swordsmanship to desperately sense the aura emanating from the celestial palace in the scene...
Although the aura was barely perceptible through the Heavenly Screen, he still managed to detect a trace of the "Dao".
"To be in harmony with heaven and earth, to resonate with the laws of nature..."
Chen Xin closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them again, a flash of sword light appearing in them. "If one could cultivate the sword path and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth in such a place... perhaps, the barrier of level ninety-seven is not insurmountable."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong clicked his tongue in amazement. "Old Swordsman, did you feel it?"
The space there... was very stable, frighteningly stable.
But it seems to flow differently from the external timeline?
Strange, my senses are becoming somewhat blurred through the Heavenly Screen.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Screen scene, Zhu Zhuqing, standing at the edge of the sea of clouds and gazing up at the majestic gate of " Upper Heavenly Palace," finally regained a sliver of her senses from the extreme shock.
She turned her head slightly to look at Jiang Wanwan beside her, who always wore a faint smile, her voice trembling with excitement and disbelief:
"Sister Wanwan... is this where His Heavenly Emperor the Heavenly Emperor resides?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan burst out laughing, her laughter clear and slightly teasing.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
She extended her slender finger and gently tapped Zhu Zhuqing's forehead. "This is the ' Upper Heavenly Palace,' a place dedicated to etiquette, music and dance, maid training, and some internal ceremonies. It can be considered one of the outer institutions of the Heavenly Court."
"Simply put, this is where I work, and also where I will teach you manners, etiquette, and the way of service."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, her red lips slightly parted, her adorable expression completely different from her usual aloofness.
"This... this place is so beautiful, so... unbelievable, and it's just an outer area? And it's not even His Majesty's residence?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Wanwan shook her head matter-of-factly, raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the palace, where the clouds and mist were even more ethereal and the rosy glow even more intense, as if leading to a higher heaven.
"His Majesty resides beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the White Jade Capital, the Great Luo Heaven..."
"That is the true central hub of the Heavenly Court, the source of the Great Dao. Compared to it, this ' Upper Heavenly Palace ' is merely a side hall at the entrance."
Side... side hall?
