Chapter 234: Chapter 147: The Bones of a Multitude of Immortal Kings Pave My Path

Shangguan Xiyue, of course, had no idea that Wang Xiao had already achieved Enlightenment.

Wang Xiao returned to his senses, his tone calm as he said:

"It’s nothing. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are just a natural part of life..."

"Issue my decree. Tomorrow, a sky burial will be held for Eunuch Chen. The entire nation will mourn for three days..."

A sky burial was the highest honor of funeral rites in the Yongchang Kingdom.

Only past Emperors and those who had made outstanding contributions to the Yongchang Kingdom were worthy of it.

Although Eunuch Chen had made no great military contributions to the Yongchang Kingdom, in Wang Xiao’s eyes, it made no difference.

"Yes." Shangguan Xiyue nodded.

Wang Xiao then looked at Shangguan Xiyue.

"Xiyue, you should be just one step away from becoming an Immortal King, right?"

He already knew that Shangguan Xiyue’s Spirit Root was likely related to the Bright Moon.

The Great Dao she comprehended was, naturally, the Bright Moon Dao.

This was a Basic Great Dao, second only to an Origin Great Dao.

After Enlightenment, her power would be extraordinary!

Shangguan Xiyue nodded.

"Mm, my True Form is still unable to perceive the esoteric Heaven and Earth Laws."

Both Human Immortals and Immortal Kings could command the power of Heaven and Earth, unleashing powerful Magic unique to their respective True Forms.

The only difference was that an Immortal King could perceive the Heaven and Earth Laws, enabling their Magic to achieve Vacuum Shattering and crush Human Immortals!

Of course, being able to perceive them didn’t mean one could capture them. The gap between the two was as wide as a chasm.

Take An Yuanshan, for example. He became an Immortal King at the age of fifty, but now, eight hundred years later, he still has not become an Earth Immortal.

The Heaven and Earth Laws, or in other words, the Great Dao Rules, were not so easily captured.

Wang Xiao himself had only barely managed to capture the Destiny Great Dao Rules by using his Analyze All Things Talent to follow a faint trace.

Otherwise, there was no telling how much longer it would have taken.

Wang Xiao said, "Alright. From now on, don’t worry about palace affairs. Focus on your cultivation. In one month, I will help you take that final step and become an Immortal King!"

He also wanted to test the unique properties of the ’Hand of Destiny’ he had just comprehended.

Although Shangguan Xiyue was a Cultivator at the Human Immortal Realm, her Destiny had long been intertwined with his.

Influencing her would be much easier than influencing other Cultivators.

However, he had only just comprehended the ’Hand of Destiny’ and needed to familiarize himself with it before he could use it.

"Yes, Young Master." Shangguan Xiyue nodded.

She had not a shred of doubt that Wang Xiao could help her take that final step.

In her mind, there seemed to be nothing her Young Master couldn’t do if he set his mind to it.

After having a group of eunuchs attend to Eunuch Chen’s body, Wang Xiao and Shangguan Xiyue slowly departed.

「In the blink of an eye, a month passed.」

Wang Xiao had finally grasped and mastered the ’Hand of Destiny’.

He summoned Shangguan Xiyue and was just about to use it when his eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked outside the hall.

"Sixth Sister, since you’re here, you might as well come in."

As his voice fell, a graceful figure in white landed silently and entered the palace hall.

She looked at Wang Xiao and said:

"I have an Immortal Artifact concealing my aura, yet you could still sense me. It seems you truly have achieved Enlightenment!"

Wang Xiao was noncommittal.

"Sixth Sister has also entered the ranks of Human Immortals. Congratulations."

Liu Yuzhen said:

"I have a Mutated Spirit Root, you know, which is only slightly inferior to a Celestial Spirit Root. If I couldn’t reach the Human Immortal Realm within sixty years, I would have lived in vain."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I came here to bring you a message, Ninth Brother."

"What message?" Wang Xiao asked.

Liu Yuzhen said, "Ninth Brother, you are in grave danger."

Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow, not in the least bit surprised.

"Is it because of those Immortal Kings outside the palace?"

He had long since sensed the powerful auras spreading throughout Celestial Capital City.

They were all Immortal Kings!

Liu Yuzhen pressed her lips together. "Since you know, then you should also know that they are all here for you!"

"And?" Wang Xiao’s tone was calm.

"My master said that as long as you are willing to join the Vast Immortal Sect, she will guarantee your safety," Liu Yuzhen explained her purpose in coming.

In fact, this was not the first time the Vast Immortal Sect had extended an invitation.

However, all previous invitations had been rejected by her ninth brother.

Wang Xiao let out a carefree laugh.

"These Immortal Kings have come for no other reason than to use my Techniques to verify their own Daos. If that’s the case, then let them come."

"The road to eternal life is paved with bones..."

"And my Dao needs the bones of these Immortal Kings to pave its way!"
