Chapter 714: Chapter 18: Divine Court Festival Order, Void Seed, Ascension Legend! (10,000-Word Da Zhang)_2

Zhao Xing nodded and accepted the grand promise painted for him by the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird.

Seeing that he had no further questions, he intended to leave. But as he reached the doorway, he swiftly turned around.

Sure enough, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird once again called out to him. Zhao Xing simply stood there quietly, watching the bird.

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird cawed, "It’s not that I wish to toy with you, it’s just that I have just flown back, and I’ve been somewhat affected."

"Are you going to visit the little Xiezhi?"

"Yes, senior," Zhao Xing replied.

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird flew onto Zhao Xing’s shoulder and pointed its wing towards the door, "You’d better leave the Dream Palace as soon as your visit is over."

"Why?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise. "I was planning on looking around some other places."

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird said, "The little Xiezhi must have told you, I am the second-ranked guardian here, right?"

"Yes."

"The one ranked first is stronger than I am, and its duty is to uphold the rules and order of the dream realm."

"Now that you have received a gift from me, should it discover you have obtained something you shouldn’t have, there might be some trouble. Therefore, it’s best that you leave immediately. I will be shielding the Heavenly Mechanism to cover the past during this time."

Zhao Xing had nothing to say in response. Clearly, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird’s gift was indeed not that easy to obtain.

He had entered the Dream Palace openly and honourably, but now he was sneaking around like a thief.

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed behaving like a thief.

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, this trickster, was essentially handing stolen goods over to him.

Zhao Xing nodded. "Senior, when may I enter again?"

"Not sure, you can come in to check if there’s nothing going on, I will tell you," the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird replied.

"Alright, I understand."

Zhao Xing stepped out of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and this time the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird did not call out to him again.

He quickly made his way to the Heavenly Craft Palace, found the Magic Beast Xiezhi, and took away the eight Heavenly Maidens.

Before leaving, Zhao Xing asked, "Guardian, may I know who is the first guardian of the Dream Palace?"

The Xiezhi said, "The guardian is the Dream God."

"In which palace is the Dream God guardian stationed?"

"Not sure, I haven’t seen it in a long time," replied the Xiezhi.

Zhao Xing nodded, led away the eight Heavenly Maidens, and returned to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

He hadn’t brought the Primordial Spirit Fruit, the Token, or the black sphere with him earlier.

According to the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, he needed to ’log out’ at the Mysterious Pavilion to avoid being detected.

If he wandered around the academy with the three treasures that weren’t rightfully his, he would be discovered by the first guardian.

Even taking them out would be problematic; he needed the help of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird.

Otherwise, Zhao Xing, a rank five, wouldn’t be able to take those three items back to the Great Thousand World.

"Senior, I have returned."

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird nodded, "Just relax as usual, clear your mind, and meditate your way out."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing held the three treasures in his hands. The eight Heavenly Maidens, on the other hand, did not need to do the same.

Immediately, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird exhaled a puff of fog, enveloping Zhao Xing completely.

"Hum~"

Space began to twist, and Zhao Xing’s figure became ethereal.

The eight Heavenly Maidens disappeared as well.

But the three treasures remained floating in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Just as Zhao Xing’s form was about to vanish completely.

A large swath of feathers burst from the body of the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird.

"Hum~"

The three treasures also completely dematerialized, disappearing from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

"Caw~ Caw~"

The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, exhausted, collapsed onto the ground.

Looking at its bare self, it panted heavily.

It took quite a while to recover.

"Damn, I overdid the act... Had I known, I wouldn’t have agreed to let him take so much stuff back," it muttered to itself.

To grasp at Zhao Xing as a lifeline, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird had indeed exerted itself to the extreme, but the consequence was now looking half-plucked.

After a long while, the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird struggled to fly to the standing cabinet and exhaled a breath.

Nothing seemed amiss, but reflected in its eyes was a book flipping through pages endlessly.

"Destiny returns to the nest, the Grand Derivation is flawless; I’ve advanced my chance of escape by more than three hundred years."

"Since fourteen years ago, when I calculated tens of thousands of years of vitality, there was a sudden change. The person who was supposed to enter the academy should have appeared three hundred years later, but now has come so much earlier. I can’t tell if this is good or bad..."

...

In Jiujiang County, in the wilderness, far beneath the earth’s surface,

Zhao Xing slowly awoke.

He looked around and saw eight Heavenly Maidens standing.

In his arms, he held a Heavenly Maiden Token.

Besides that, there was also a feathered box.

Zhao Xing quickly tossed the feathered box aside, isolating it with his vital energy. Then, using the Five-Finger Destiny, he calculated a bit.

He immediately closed his eyes to sleep, reevaluating everything in a dream.

"The Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird is not as foolish as imagined; it could very well be pretending," he thought.

"The purpose might be to make me let down my guard and obediently follow its wishes."

"Hmph, a Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird that has gained self-awareness and can defy the rules of the Dream Palace’s micro world, how could it possibly be a real simpleton."

"However, since it wants to play the part, I might as well pretend to be unaware."

"In my past life, when Emperor Wu acquired the Dream Palace, there was no mention of a mechanical Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird. Even during the great war, it never showed up."

"Did it manage to break free? Or is freeing itself truly its intention?"

Zhao Xing compared his memories from his past life, using his advanced knowledge to reassess the situation, and felt there were more traps hidden within.

Either the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird’s request was very difficult, or it wasn’t aiming to free itself at all.

"However, the Primordial Spirit Tree should not be a fake."

"My Life Soul shows no signs of abnormality."

"But the Earth Soul has indeed attracted a major karmic bond, significant enough that I can feel it." Using the tri-soul convergence technique of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn, Zhao Xing connected with his Earth Soul and discovered a vague karmic bond.
