Huangdao's Three Palaces

Invite me!

With Hongjun's help, the flower room once again traversed the void. It was only when it entered the central hub area that Zhang Xuezhou heard Hongjun's voice.

"Please come in!"

He and the mallard duck appeared in the treehouse, which was set up like a tavern, at almost the same time. Only when asked again did Zhang Xuezhou open his mouth to welcome them in.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really good at Fortune Technique, I have to believe in your ability to win!"

The room is divided into two parts, one part originating from the structure of the giant tree, and the other part originating from the structure of the ancient tree.

Hongjun sat in the area constructed from the ancient tree, watching Zhang Xuezhou with great interest, feeling that the other party's gambling Fortune Technique had a very high winning rate.

"Donghua has run away, and that demon tree is completely dead, so this place is yours," Hongjun said. "You actually managed to wait until the demon tree was completely dead; that's really good luck!"

"Right?"

"The most important thing is that you met a kind-hearted person like me," Hongjun said. "If you had encountered some void explorers, they might have even tried to seize your territory and drive you away!"

"This place can still be stolen?" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

"Since you haven't inscribed your divine soul mark here, you can naturally steal things that are unclaimed," Hongjun laughed.

"Only treasures can bear inscriptions. Is this place a treasure as well?"

Don't you think this is a treasure?

Hongjun looked at Zhang Xuezhou in surprise, feeling that the other party's concept was still at the primary stage of treasures, believing that only small items with wonderful uses could be considered treasures.

In the Great Wilderness, a forged sword can be Law Treasure, a tower can be Law Treasure, a mountain can be Law Treasure, and there are even cultivators who refine various living beings into Law Treasure.

After Hongjun said a few words, Zhang Xuezhou's head couldn't help but feel a little numb, as if the Law Treasure in Hongjun's world had developed to an unimaginable level.

But as soon as he thought of the Golden Toad Dharma King's Heavenly Pearl and Jin Chang's puppet, he understood.

Ultimately, Zhang Xuezhou had used the giant tree as a transit point far too many times, always treating it as a functional center, and never considering the giant tree as a Law Treasure.

"Why don't you refine this Law Treasure?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously. "If you refine this, I'll be counting on you to help me travel between worlds!"

Hongjun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't think much of it. He then pointed to the part that had been eroded by the fragments of the apocalypse, pointing out the biggest problem with this treasure.

"This treasure is enormous, and refining it will take a very long time," Hongjun said. "If it could be used for a long time, that would be fine. The key problem is that it won't last long, and I don't have any particularly formidable opponents in the void. In the past, I could use this piece of wood to ram into the Void Heaven Palace, but now that the Void Heaven Palace is gone, taking it is of no practical use to me. Apart from guiding your soul through the void, its greatest use is as a platform for exploring the void. Only some foolish villains would be tempted by it!"

"If it takes you so long to refine it, then it will take me even longer," Zhang Xuezhou sighed.

"Just mark it and use it for now," Hongjun said. "Your insufficient refining level will only result in slower travel speed, and the slower perception will give you more time to refine it. I see that your soul is stable and you have a long life, so you shouldn't mind this little loss!"

"I'm practically dead already, why would I care about the loss of my soul and time!"

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and clapped his hands, touching the trunk of the giant tree, his soul wandering aimlessly.

Without the ancient trees dominating the landscape, things have definitely changed here. In the past, Zhang Xuezhou could only be a passerby, passing through here in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.

At this moment, he could sense that he had the ability to control things with his soul power, and he could also sense the mallards, use their pull and repulsion to separate them, and then guide them into different bodies, and even decide the direction of their movement.

Aside from the damage to Donghua causing the remnants of the apocalypse, Zhang Xuezhou felt everything was perfect.

Zhang Xuezhou even discovered that the giant tree's massive body did not contain a complete consciousness, but merely retained memories of the past, which did not conflict with him.

The giant tree limbs in the vast area were inscribed with divine soul imprints and refined like treasures, at an unbelievably fast speed, without the long refining time that Hongjun had mentioned.

Zhang Xuezhou silently sensed for a while before gazing at Hongjun.

"Having a basic level of control is enough. As long as you have the upper hand, it will be impossible for others to force their way in," Hongjun said.

"Looks like I can go back now," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You still haven't told me how I'm going to deal with that half-step ascendant."

When Houtu faced Zhang Xuezhou's fictional Donghua, she needed to use the Void Heaven Palace to restrain him. Zhang Xuezhou really found it hard to believe that Hongjun could so easily deal with a half-step ascendant in the real world.

"I didn't promise you how to deal with that half-step ascendant," Hongjun said, shaking his head.

"But didn't you say before..."

"I only told you before that you should seize his world's origin," Hongjun corrected, "Seizing the origin and killing him are two different things!"

"How can I seize the source if I don't kill him?"

"Young man, don't think about fighting and killing all the time. You just need to find an opportunity to get close to him, regardless of whether he is injured or tired, and then find a chance to reach out and touch the origin of the world, thereby taking away the origin in a quick contact!"

Will this work?

Zhang Xuezhou looked surprised, feeling that Hongjun had made it sound too simple. If he had that kind of ability, he would have already stripped the underwear off many big shots in the Three Realms.

"It's just a matter of getting a share; it won't be too difficult," Hongjun said. "Back then, it took me eighty years to refine the origin of the world, turning me from a young man into an old man with white hair. This makes me deeply resent the long period of stagnation after obtaining the origin of the world!"

"And then?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"I racked my brains for a long time, and only by opening up the Three Palaces of the Zodiac could I quickly transcend," Hongjun said. "If you follow my method to touch the origin and incorporate it into the Three Palaces of the Zodiac, the speed at which the world's origin transforms your body will greatly increase, thus allowing you to quickly acquire the world's origin in a short period of time!"

"It sounds mysterious, but if I try to seize the origin of the world, I'll inevitably face attacks from my rivals, and I'll probably die very quickly!"

"That's your problem. If you manage to seize the source and gain some resistance, but still get killed, then it's just bad luck!"

Hongjun shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't consider these things for Zhang Xuezhou, nor could he provide the corresponding assistance.

If Zhang Xuezhou is lucky enough to resolve the problems of this world, then the problems of the Three Realms will no longer be problems.

Hongjun hoped that Zhang Xuezhou would survive, so that he could at least fight against Donghua, instead of the Void Palace returning to the void after his death, requiring him and Houtu to fight over it repeatedly.

"It's all because those three idiots are useless. If they had just received my decree, then given that Dongfang Shuo a good whack to strip him of the Void Heaven Palace, and suppressed that Donghua, none of this would have happened!"

Hongjun stared at Zhang Xuezhou's soul, his gaze also carrying a hint of dissatisfaction towards the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables.

"I will demonstrate how to open the three zodiac palaces for your soul. After your soul returns to your body, follow along as much as possible, and you will surely be able to quickly master the cultivation of the three zodiac palaces!"

Hongjun's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he pointed at Zhang Xuezhou's soul.

"The more advanced your cultivation of the three zodiacal signs, the faster you will acquire and control them when you touch the origin of the world, and the greater your chances of success will be!"

Hongjun gave his assurance, Zhang Xuezhou, after thinking about it, realized he had no other choice, so he nodded emphatically in agreement.
