Li Xiaonan wore a troubled expression as he licked his dry lips and moved closer to the Azure Emperor.
“Brother, you wouldn’t just watch me get struck down, would you…”
The Azure Emperor shot him a glance, crossing his arms and taking a step back. “Then hurry up and tell me what you’ve concocted. This Heavenly Tribulation doesn’t seem simple…”
Li Xiaonan scratched his head, pondering for a moment. Given the current emptiness of his Dantian, he could only brace himself with his own body.
It seemed that the Tribulation Lightning was caused by refining Celestial Artifacts! What a reckless move… He had no idea how powerful the Tribulation Lightning from two Celestial Artifacts would be.
He glanced up at the streaks of blue lightning in the sky, muttering to himself: I wonder if this Tribulation Lightning is related to that Magic Artifact?
In an instant, the second bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck down. Seeing that Li Xiaonan remained silent, the Azure Emperor, though reluctant, decided to intervene.
A beam of Azure Light shielded Li Xiaonan from above, forcefully blocking the Tribulation Lightning.
Li Xiaonan was taken aback and instantly came to his senses. He shyly smiled at the Azure Emperor and said, “Thank you, brother!”
“Go on! Who are you putting on this little wife act for?” the Azure Emperor retorted irritably.
Li Xiaonan chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head while keeping his gaze fixed on the sky.
“Let’s go!” the Azure Emperor said casually.
Li Xiaonan hesitated, pointing at the sky. “But this Tribulation Lightning…”
“With the Azure Wood tree here, it will absorb it all. The Tribulation Lightning is a rare material! Now stop dawdling and hurry into the royal city!”
"Oh!"
To show respect for the Yellow Emperor, the two did not move but flew away instead.
Along the way, Li Xiaonan gained more insight once again.
It turned out that for a Cultivator, the Heavenly Tribulation that felt like torture was different when it fell upon an immortal. For a Celestial Artifact, an appropriately strong Tribulation Lightning was like a tonic; it not only refined the artifact's body but also condensed its soul.
Indeed, getting struck by lightning occasionally felt great!
Li Xiaonan scratched his head, feeling a bit frustrated.
Sigh... how did I miss out on such a good thing?
He couldn't help but reach up to touch the Blood Soaked Freedom on his head, murmuring to himself: What have those two been up to lately?
Since leaving the Celestial Buddha War Ruins, those two had been completely quiet.
Could it be? Did Xiaoyao manage to deal with Bloodshade? Oh! No...
The Azure Emperor glanced at Li Xiaonan, whose expression was quite animated, and said, "Little brother, what gift have you prepared for the Yellow Empress's Birthday this time..."
"Hehe..." Li Xiaonan chuckled foolishly.
"You didn't forget to prepare something, did you? The Yellow Emperor gave you a purple card! The Yellow Emperor has only one wife and dotes on her greatly. If that woman takes a liking to you, your relationship with the Yellow Emperor could improve significantly!"
Li Xiaonan replied with a smile, "Brother, you're overthinking it. Although I'm not talented, I'm not foolish either; I've naturally prepared a gift. But I didn't expect the Yellow Emperor to be so devoted."
"That woman is quite formidable as well... Just be careful with your words."
"Got it, thank you for the advice, big brother."
"What are we brothers thanking each other for? Your well-being is my well-being! By the way, have you practiced the ** you won at the Rookie Tournament last time? That's a treasure from your big brother!"
Li Xiaonan smiled a bit shyly and said, "Hehe, I've looked into it; it seems quite profound. Unfortunately, I’m already cultivating two ** at the same time, and if I take on more... I just can't handle it..."
The Azure Emperor looked surprised. "Oh? I didn't expect my younger brother to be so clever, actually mastering Obedient Dragon II** and ascending to immortality!"
Li Xiaonan felt a bit embarrassed by the praise and couldn't help but lower his head, secretly muttering: Li Xiaoyang, you're still pretending! Be careful not to get struck by lightning!
You know very well that I've been practicing the Harmony Technique, yet you act as if it's all true.
Just as Li Xiaonan was cursing the Azure Emperor in his heart, they had already arrived at the gates of the imperial city.
"Greetings, Lord Azure Emperor!" Several immortals dressed in Daoist robes bowed respectfully to the Azure Emperor.
He nodded slightly. "You don't need to guide us anymore." Saying this, he led Li Xiaonan into the palace.
Pavilions and towers stood amidst swirling clouds and mist, like a dream, as if one were in an immortal realm.
Even more beautiful than this scenery were the women holding celestial fruits and Celestial Tea. Dressed in their respective garments, their long, soft ribbons fluttered in the wind, truly capturing the attention of many men.
Li Xiaonan was no exception but merely observed without any further thoughts.
As for beautiful women, he had seen plenty over the years; he was no longer that young boy whose heart raced at the sight of one.
"Up ahead is the Flower Garden," Azure Emperor introduced.
Li Xiaonan nodded, thinking: It seems that Azure Emperor is quite familiar with this place; his relationship with the Yellow Emperor must be good!
I had been in the Celestial Realm for several years, yet these few fellows showed no signs of urgency. Were they not anxious? If they weren't, then why did they send people down to the mortal realm in the first place?
Moreover, Ni Zhi should have returned to the Yellow Emperor by now. Why was there still no movement despite all the schemes to sow discord?
When Li Xiaonan came to his senses, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The Flower Garden was truly a Flower Garden; as Li Xiaonan glanced around, he saw a riot of colors, with various flowers competing for beauty, each blooming vibrantly in its own way.
The swirling Celestial Mist added an air of surreal beauty to the surroundings.
"Look at you, dazed! Hurry up! The Yellow Emperor is waiting!"
Li Xiaonan nodded blankly and made his way through the flowers and beautiful maidens, slowly approaching the Yellow Emperor.
In his hand, the Yellow Emperor held a crystal cup that sparkled with clarity. He was dressed in a yellow robe embroidered with nine golden dragons.
The dragons twisted and turned, soaring and dancing, so lifelike that it seemed they would take flight at any moment.
The jade crown atop his head further accentuated the Yellow Emperor's refined and elegant demeanor, while the Luminous Pearl on the crown added an extra touch of regal presence.
From a distance, he spotted Li Xiaonan and the Azure Emperor, smiling and nodding at them. He called out cheerfully, "Thank you all for coming to Gai Huang Star; let the banquet begin! Music!"
A group of celestial maidens soared through the air with various musical instruments in hand, their delicate faces adorned with serene smiles. The palace was instantly enveloped in joyful melodies.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking to himself: Is this going to be like a Chinese cooking show...?
"What are you dawdling for?" The Azure Emperor suddenly slapped Li Xiaonan on the shoulder and pulled him down to sit.
Li Xiaonan looked around; nearly twenty seats were arranged in the open space of the Flower Garden. It wasn't too many, but it certainly felt a bit sparse.
Among those seated, aside from the Crimson Emperor and the White Star Soul, he recognized no one else, but it was clear they were all individuals of great status and importance.
As Li Xiaonan observed the crowd, the others were also sizing him up, their eyes filled with curiosity.
At that moment, a fragrant breeze wafted through, scattering pink petals in the air.
From afar, a bright red silk ribbon floated down, and a Purple-Clad Woman lightly touched her jade-like feet to glide down the Red Silk into the embrace of the Yellow Emperor.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but curse inwardly: Demon! She is definitely a Demon! What an alluring entrance, so inappropriate!
However, she was indeed quite beautiful; he just felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
The Yellow Emperor's lips curled into a broad smile, his eyes filled with joy as he softly said, "Shan'er, look at how many people have come to celebrate you. Are you happy?"
The Empress smiled gently, disregarding the gazes of the crowd as she leaped into the Yellow Emperor's arms and sweetly replied, "I am happy! As long as it’s prepared by you, I will be happy!"
The Yellow Emperor smiled faintly, looking completely satisfied.
Li Xiaonan was momentarily blinded by the dazzling light radiating from the main seat.
Damn it! Isn’t this just bullying me since my wives aren’t here? Showing off their affection! Once my wives ascend, I’ll embrace them both and leap around, dazzling your eyes!
Li Xiaonan grumbled to himself while celestial maidens entered one after another, serving guests Celestial Fruits and Celestial Tea.
"How fragrant!" Li Xiaonan inhaled deeply, ignoring the flying maidens as he grabbed a celestial fruit and brought it to his mouth.
He bit into the celestial fruit fiercely; its juice turned into sweet dew flowing into his abdomen, warming his Dantian. Almost simultaneously, liquid Golden Yuan Power seeped out from the bottom of his dry Dantian.
Li Xiaonan looked at his empty palm and felt a surge of joy. What a good thing!
He immediately raised his gaze like lightning, his hands moving like raindrops, his mouth whirling like a blender, and his throat functioning like an elevator.
In no time, he finished a plate of celestial fruits.
The Azure Emperor glanced at him and chuckled, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Come on, you’re my guest; at least leave me some face!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled lightly, thinking to himself: Not good!
However, upon further reflection, the Azure Emperor was mistaken; his Dantian was indeed empty, and he was truly starving.
Seeing a maid carrying celestial fruits walk past him, he suddenly stood up and pulled her into his embrace.
The maid was startled, and her hands loosened, causing the tray to fall. Li Xiaonan's quick reflexes allowed him to catch all of it.
This action immediately drew curious glances from those around.
The maid stared blankly at Li Xiaonan, her face turning slightly red as a single thought crossed her mind: this guest is really handsome.
Li Xiaonan flashed her a grin before releasing her and returning to his seat to continue devouring the celestial fruits.
Watching him eat ravenously, the maid felt a pang of disappointment; she hadn’t expected such a good-looking man to behave like a fool.
A glint flashed in Li Xiaonan's eyes as he instantly grasped the maid's thoughts. He felt amused; it had been a while since he played the fool, and returning to his old ways wasn’t so bad after all.
"Today is the Yellow Empress's Birthday; White Foam presents a small gift," said a skinny man in white holding a jade box.
Li Xiaonan licked the juice off his fingers, staring blankly at it.
His expression even led Qing Didi to momentarily believe that Li Xiaonan had truly become foolish.
Empress Huang waved her hand, bringing the box into her grasp, and slowly opened the Jade Box. A fragrant scent of herbs wafted out.
"The Jade Beauty Pill," explained Skinny Monkey Man. "I wish Empress Huang eternal youth."
"Thank you," Empress Huang replied with a smile, but Li Xiaonan did not detect a hint of surprise in her eyes.
This small pill seemed to serve as a catalyst, prompting the guests to present their gifts, including the three Immortal Emperors who were no exception.
However, there was nothing particularly novel about the offerings; they were mostly rare materials or jewelry.
What could the wife of the Yellow Emperor possibly not have seen? Naturally, these trinkets did not catch her eye; she merely expressed her gratitude out of politeness.
Throughout the entire process, only Li Xiaonan remained unmoved.
No! To be precise, he had been moving all along, finishing plate after plate of celestial fruits while occasionally glancing at the gifts others presented, disdainfully snorting at them.
Even immortals have their limits. The first immortal to present the Jade Beauty Pill could no longer tolerate it. With his sword-like brows raised, he stood up and addressed Li Xiaonan, "Do you look down on the longevity gift I offered?"
