Chapter 420 The Peach Garden

Chapter 420 Peach Garden

Master Yongcheng could naturally tell that Lin Fei's rejection of him was not as simple as he had said.

However, since Lin Fei had his own reasons for not speaking, Master Yongcheng didn't press him further. The reason he suggested acting together was simply because Lin Fei and Yuan Yi were both disciples of the Jade Emperor Sect in the past, and he wanted to take care of them.

Now that Lin Fei has refused, Master Yongcheng will not insist: "Very well, I will take my leave first. There are many dangers within this Heavenly Palace Ruins, so please be careful. If you encounter any difficulties, come to the Eighteenth Heavenly Palace, and I will certainly lend a hand."

After saying this, Master Yongcheng and the two old Taoist priests beside him took to the air and flew towards the Heavenly Palace.

……

Yuan Yi was puzzled by Lin Fei's refusal of such a powerful ally as Master Yongcheng. After Master Yongcheng left, Yuan Yi couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that what you're looking for is also in the Eighteenth Heaven Palace?"

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "What this disciple is looking for is not in the Eighteenth Heavenly Palace, but above the Thirty-Third Heavenly Palace!"

"What, the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace?" Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, Yuan Yi and Du Qingmu's expressions changed simultaneously.

Regarding the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court, there are more or less some records in the classics of various schools of thought. After all, as one of the three great holy lands of ancient times, even after disappearing for countless years, a lot of information about the ancient Heavenly Court has still been passed down.

For example, many ancient texts clearly record the function of each of the thirty-three heavenly palaces in ancient times, and which ancient gods were active there.

Based on this information, people can deduce what treasures might exist in each level of the Heavenly Palace.

For example, the eighteenth heavenly palace that Immortal Yongcheng was going to was called Lingxiao Palace. It was the place where the Nine Heavens Emperor received the gods and handled important affairs of the world in ancient times.

The treasures that Master Yongcheng sought in the Eighteenth Heaven Palace were mostly related to the legendary Heavenly Emperor.

Throughout the entire Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces, records of the first thirty heavenly palaces can be found in the ancient books that have been passed down through the ages.

And what remains completely undocumented is the final Three Heavenly Palaces. No matter which school or sect's records, there is not a single word about the final Three Heavenly Palaces.

No one knows what the final three heavenly palaces are, or which ancient powerful being lived there. Nor does anyone know what treasures might be found within.

This also means that the dangers of the final three heavenly palaces are likely to be much greater than those of other places. After all, no one knows what kind of existence exists within the final three heavenly palaces.

Therefore, Du Qingmu and Yuan Yi showed such expressions when they heard Lin Fei say that what he was looking for was above the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace.

"The Thirty-Three Heavens Palace?" Yuan Yi's expression became extremely solemn. Because of his special relationship with Lin Fei, he didn't hold back when speaking and asked directly, "What exactly is it that you're looking for?"

"It's not that I intentionally wanted to hide it from you, Master," Lin Fei said with a wry smile. "It's just that even I don't know exactly what that thing is. I only know that it's in the Thirty-Third Heaven Palace."

When Emperor Zhenwu asked Lin Fei to find that mysterious treasure, he only said that the treasure was in the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace. Emperor Zhenwu did not mention anything about the treasure itself to Lin Fei. Even Lin Fei himself did not know what the treasure was, so he could not explain it to Yuan Yi.

Even Lin Fei himself didn't know what he was looking for, which did sound absurd. But Yuan Yi knew that, given his relationship with Lin Fei, Lin Fei would never deceive him.

Yuan Yi sighed and said, "Fine, since we've already come this far, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, your master will accompany you to brave it!"

He then turned to Du Qingmu and asked, "Elder Du, what do you say?"

Du Qingmu's relationship with Lin Fei was far less close than that of Yuan Yi and Lin Fei. Although Du Qingmu was nominally Lin Fei's subordinate, in reality, he had no need to risk his life for Lin Fei.

The mysterious and unknown Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces were clearly much more dangerous than the other Heavenly Palaces about which some information was already known. Even if Du Qingmu was unwilling to go with Lin Fei, Lin Fei wouldn't say anything.

Du Qingmu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I also wish to see the mysterious Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces. A treasure that Your Majesty values ​​so highly must be extraordinary. I am willing to accompany Your Majesty on this journey."

Lin Fei cupped his hands in thanks to Du Qingmu and said, "Thank you very much, Elder Du. Let's set off now!"

After saying that, the three of them took off and flew towards the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace.

……

Each of these thirty-three heavenly palaces was an independent microcosm, which was then merged into a whole by someone using immense supernatural power.

Therefore, to enter the next heavenly palace, one must enter through the entrance of the preceding heavenly palace, which is connected to it; it is not possible to enter directly from the outside.

Each of the Heavenly Palaces may contain treasures from ancient times. However, Lin Fei had already set his sights on the highest, thirty-third Heavenly Palace, and had little interest in the other treasures.

Therefore, Lin Fei did not linger in the Heavenly Palaces ahead, but instead flew directly from the entrances of each Heavenly Palace to the Heavenly Palace above.

Soon, Lin Fei and his two companions had passed through the first ten Heavenly Palaces and arrived at the eleventh Heavenly Palace.

At that moment, a conversation suddenly came from ahead.

"Hurry up, the Empress is pressing us hard; she wants us to deliver the peaches as soon as possible!"

"What's the rush? The Peach Banquet is still a long way off. Her Majesty is just telling us to pick a few to go over and see how good the peaches are this year."

"It's better to act quickly, so as not to get scolded by the Empress again!"

……

Hearing these conversations, Lin Fei and his two companions couldn't help but slow down.

Lin Fei had seen records of this eleventh heavenly palace in ancient texts; it was called the "Peach Palace."

The master of this heavenly palace is none other than the famous Queen Mother of the West from ancient times, and the Peach Palace is equally famous.

Legend has it that in ancient times, before the gods fell, the Queen Mother of the West would hold a Peach Banquet every three thousand years, and all the great supernatural beings in the world would attend this grand event.

The origin of this Peach Banquet lies in the renowned Peach Palace. Within the Peach Palace lies a Peach Orchard, where the spiritual fruits that grow are called "Peaches." These are spiritual fruits that all great supernatural beings in the world yearn for.
