I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

"The true lifespan of Emperor Luohou is only about ten thousand years."

"However, there is a very special substance in this world, which is called 'immortal substance'."

"By using immortal substances and entering a state of deep sleep, one can significantly slow down the aging of bodily functions..."

Empress Liuli explained calmly.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Xiao suddenly realized what was going on.

In other words, Emperor Luohou has been in a deep, secluded slumber since ancient times until today.

This is a completely different concept from being conscious and alive until now.

Lin Xiao didn't ask why Emperor Luo Hou had suddenly awakened...

Because he already had the answer in his heart.

Aside from the path to heaven, there is no other reason.

For a powerful figure like Emperor Luohou, only ascension to godhood holds immense appeal.

The last time the Path to Heaven was opened was in ancient times.

However, the number of places on the path to heaven has always been limited, and not everyone can successfully ascend to godhood.

Once missed due to various factors, one is forced to fall into slumber and lie dormant for a long period of time.

"Master, now that the Path to Heaven is about to open, there must be quite a few ancient powerful beings like Emperor Luo Hou, right?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"You are very smart, that's true."

"The opening of the Path to Heaven will mark the beginning of a great struggle!"

"As the time approaches, more and more ancient powerful beings will awaken."

Empress Liuli nodded slightly and said, "However, you don't need to worry about these things. Your task is to obtain the fortune of this great era."

"Luck?"

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"The battle between demons is actually a contest of destiny."

"If you can win the battle against the prodigies and turn all the other prodigies into stepping stones for you, you will naturally reap immense benefits."

Empress Liuli did not offer much explanation.

Fortune has always been elusive and unpredictable.

Because his understanding wasn't deep enough, no matter how much she explained, Lin Xiao would still struggle to comprehend it.

"So, Master sent me to the Central Heaven Domain not only to help me achieve Dao Integration, but also to have me participate in the Battle of Prodigies?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Who is the head chef? My decision cannot be interpreted in just one simple way."

Empress Liuli looked like she was plotting against the heavens and earth.

"..."

Lin Xiao's lips twitched.

However, he also had some understanding of Empress Liuli's personality.

Not rigid at all, but rather very unconventional.

Most people's thought processes can't keep up with her thinking.

"You should think of it this way: you've already ruined the Southern Heaven Domain, it's lost its appeal, but the Central Heaven Domain is still an uncultivated land!"

"If you don't cause some trouble, do you deserve the title of King of Destruction?"

Empress Liuli blinked, a sly look appearing on her face.

"Wait a minute, when did I become a king of destruction?"

Lin Xiao said with a frustrated expression.

"None of that matters. Don't worry about the details. Just tell me, do you want to trample Song Zhiyu under your feet?"

Empress Liuli waved her jade hand and said domineeringly.

"cough!"

"Master chef, you may have misunderstood me. I am actually quite easy to talk to."

Lin Xiao said with a shy expression.

Empress Liuli looked directly at Bai Xuer and said, "Xuer, look at our disciple. Her skin is so thick that one of hers is worth four of ours."

She couldn't be bothered to ask Lin Xiao if he agreed or not.

Given that guy's personality, even if she doesn't do anything, she won't be able to stay calm once she arrives in Zhongtian Domain.

That's why she was too lazy to mention it before.

If Lin Xiao didn't have some kind of story with the Ten Prodigies, she would have given herself to him directly.

"Master chef, you'll end up with no friends if you keep going like this."

Lin Xiao said with a resentful look.

It's better to see through something but not say it!

"puff!"

Bai Xuer couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your second master has taken all the sacred artifacts of heaven and earth. You can go directly to the Heavenly Emperor City to retrieve them from her."

Empress Liuli said.

What is the Heavenly Emperor City?

Lin Xiao asked.

"You've come all the way to the Central Heaven Domain, and you don't even know about the Heavenly Emperor City?"

Empress Liuli shook her head, almost wanting to roll her eyes.

However, she still patiently explained it to her.

The Heavenly Emperor City is located in the very center of the Central Heaven Domain and is the most magnificent city in the Central Heaven Domain.

The builder of the Heavenly Emperor City was named "Emperor Tianyuan".

He was the first Great Emperor in the Tianyuan Continent according to historical records, and his cultivation was extremely profound.

Many people respectfully call him "Heavenly Emperor".

They have already ascended to godhood.

However, the Heavenly Emperor City he built has been preserved.

And they have dominated the Central Heaven Domain for generations.

"Fine!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

In fact, he understood what Empress Liuli meant.

The reason we didn't give him the sacred artifact directly was to let him travel a longer distance and undergo more trials.

"Let me think if there's anything else I need to explain."

"Hmm... basically none left."

"Then we'll be going now."

After Empress Liuli finished speaking, she prepared to leave with Bai Xuer.

"Big sister, other prodigies all have protectors, but Lin Xiao doesn't... Isn't he at a huge disadvantage?"

Bai Xuer hurriedly said.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "How about Master gives me a few more blank imperial edicts so I can have some on me?"

"In your dreams!"

Empress Liuli refused outright.

"Whoosh!"

With a wave of her hand, a crescent-shaped jade pendant flew towards Lin Xiao.

"This crescent-shaped jade pendant contains a small part of my power, which can protect you in times of crisis."

"In addition, I will also visit the seven holy sites to say hello."

"Presumably no one will be so ignorant of the rules that the protectors will attack you again."

Empress Liuli said calmly.

Lin Xiao estimated that getting the protectors to follow the rules wouldn't be as simple as Empress Liuli's so-called "greeting"...

"gone."

Empress Liuli said no more.

She didn't even give Bai Xuer and Lin Xiao a chance to say a tender goodbye.

But if you really give them a chance...

In front of Empress Liuli, given Bai Xuer's thick skin, she probably wouldn't do anything romantic.

Bai Xuer's clear, bright eyes kept gazing at Lin Xiao.

Until the moment her figure completely disappeared.

The full moon in the sky gradually faded away.

The scenery between heaven and earth has been restored to its original state.

Lin Xiao looked left and right and realized that he was all alone.
