Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Qingnv looked at the Evil Water Mother, noticing every face on it screaming desire and anger, and couldn’t help but nod: "No wonder it curses so harshly..."

Before Taiyin Fairy answered, she saw Zheng Fa inside the Heavenly Palace, trying to stand up with his hands on the armrests, yet the throne seemed magnetic, firmly sticking to his legs, not letting him rise.

After several attempts with many spells, he reluctantly looked up at the Evil Water Mother, sincerely asking: "Why is the Heavenly Emperor’s position so clingy?"

The human faces on the Evil Water Mother stopped shouting angrily, seemingly stunned: "..."

"Is it impossible to get rid of?"

The faces were silent for a moment, then began to curse again, spewing foul words more than ten times dirtier than before.

Qingnv and the other two looked at Zheng Fa sitting high on the throne, wearing a helpless expression, thinking his face said one thing: Cursing whatever has troubled me!

They then glanced at the pitiful Evil Water Mother, still climbing toward the Heavenly Palace while swearing.

For a moment, the three were speechless.

After a long while, Lord Nichang finally spoke: "Actually... the Evil God’s curses aren’t entirely unreasonable, right?"

She whispered, "If it were me, I could curse even worse."

Qingnv and the other two nodded: "... that’s true."

Zheng Fa truly didn’t intend to take advantage and act smug, nor did he mean to mock the Evil Water Mother; with his nature, he would be particularly cautious about any inexplicable benefits of unknown origin.

Moreover, he hadn’t forgotten that the Water Mother became an Evil God because of this thing.

Back then, the Water Mother was already the oldest Golden Immortal in the Xuanwei Realm, having comprehended the All Heaven Stars Formation, much stronger than he is now—although the Heavenly Emperor Body was progressing rapidly, truthfully, Zheng Fa is still far from being a Golden Immortal.

If even the Water Mother was tricked, wouldn’t Zheng Fa be even more careless?

However, this golden throne indeed seemed bizarre; sitting on it, he felt as if inside someone else’s body, making it challenging to control his movements, let alone stand and walk away.

Zheng Fa tried a few more times before giving up, beginning to observe the other objects inside the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace looked grand enough from the outside, yet inside was vastly superior—not much smaller than the Jiushan Realm!

Besides being large, the Palace was empty.

The four-sided hall had moving stars engraved, these stars emitting light, seemingly illuminating yet making the palace feel more vast.

Other than the throne beneath Zheng Fa, there was nothing else in the hall.

As for what this palace was for, there was no way to discern its purpose.

Zheng Fa glanced around, his intuition clueless, suddenly lowering his gaze to the silver-white path before him.

Besides the chair pinning his backside, this thing appeared to be unique...

Since the chair had trapped him, he had no choice but to try this thing...

He cautiously let out his Immortal Sense, probing toward the silver light beneath him.

As his Immortal Sense touched the ground, Zheng Fa suddenly felt a roar inside his mind, like something exploding, his vision filled with white.

After a while, the light slowly dispersed, and Zheng Fa saw that the silver road had stood up, resembling a long painting, upright before him.

A painting?

Zheng Fa focused and realized what the glowing things were—worlds!

Besides the Xuanwei Realm, there were over twenty Golden Immortal Worlds!

These worlds seemed like individual light spheres, clearly visible before Zheng Fa; with a Divine Thought, one sphere exploded, revealing mountains, rivers, like a sand table floating before him.

Zheng Fa partly understood the purpose of this palace; simply put—a monitoring room.

Sitting in this palace, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds held almost no secrets from Zheng Fa.

Thus, whether it was the Heavenly Emperor or the Emperor, from this place they could oversee all heavens.

Although Zheng Fa couldn’t understand the principle now, he had some speculation:

It probably relied on Star Power, one of the rare forces penetrating All Heavens and Worlds’ Spiritual Energy, likely the best choice for monitoring various worlds.

Zheng Fa could even imagine the Heavenly Emperor sitting here in the past, lofty, observing all heavens and worlds.

In this way, the All Heaven Stars Formation was immensely pivotal to the Ancient Immortal Court—

It allowed cultivators to travel through Chaos, managing transportation.

On the other hand, it could control the heavens’ Spiritual Energy, which determines cultivators’ Dao paths.

In essence, it managed cultivators’ enlightenment.

Now, it could even monitor all realms.

No wonder the Ancient Heavenly Court used the All Heaven Stars Formation as its foundation.

To Zheng Fa, it was almost the most formidable array he had ever seen.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fa’s mind stirred, clicking on the Xuanwei Realm’s bubble, glancing toward the West Continent.

Earlier he shattered the Pure Land, escaping from Leiyin Temple—a fortunate event, yet Zhang mentioned that Lu Yao also seemed to gain favor, hoping for advancement.

This left Zheng Fa uneasy, partly why he wished to return to Xuanwei as soon as possible.

Now the All Heaven Stars Formation possessed monitoring capabilities, naturally prompting him to see what happened in the West Continent, whether Lu Yao had made progress.

With a thought, the West Continent’s area in the Xuanwei Realm’s bubble grew larger until Zheng Fa saw Leiyin Temple.

Leiyin Temple remained calm, only surrounded by cloud-like Pure Land remnants—Zheng Fa’s previous handiwork.

Besides this, there was nothing particularly remarkable.

Thinking for a moment, Zheng Fa’s Immortal Sense gently tapped a Pure Land remnant; he wanted to know what benefit Lu Yao gained from it.

A voice echoed from the Pure Land remnant, intermittent.

"Primordial Daluo..."

"Venerable of All Realms..."

"Help me... return..."

These words were like murmurs, many too unclear.

Yet these sounds grew louder, as if someone drilled into Zheng Fa’s ears, imprinting them deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Help me..."

"Daluo..."

"Return..."

Within a few short breaths, Zheng Fa began muttering these words.

He suddenly stood up!

The throne finally released Zheng Fa, without the slightest hindrance.

The All Heaven Stars Formation started operating, and the Evil Water Mother felt completely relaxed, the Star Power suppressing it beginning to dissipate.

"There is something strange about that seat!"

Qingnv shouted, but Taiyin Fairy and the others didn’t need her to say to notice Zheng Fa’s abnormal state, his eyes vacant, seeming no longer in control.

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

The faces on the Evil Water Mother started cheering loudly, seemingly celebrating their eventual release.

Qingnv and the others grew increasingly anxious, yet helpless.

Unable to control the All Heaven Stars Formation, nor oppose the Evil Water Mother, they could only watch as its aura grew stronger.

Just as they were growing desperate, a light spot suddenly flew from Zheng Fa’s forehead, containing a Jade Pendant.

On the Jade Pendant, a Yin Yang Fish was chasing its counterpart, black and white energies flowing from it, forming a vague figure before Zheng Fa.

Floating beside Zheng Fa, it first glanced at the Evil Water Mother, then at the palace, before finally looking at Zheng Fa.

"Who is that?"

Qingnv and the others were astonished, not expecting others in the Chaos!

With tension already heightened, this person’s identity remained unclear, causing more worry and curiosity.

The Evil Water Mother’s cry revealed them:

"Daoist Venerable? How are you here!"
