Chapter 646: Chapter 436: Xu Yang’s Great Battle with the Fairy of Flowers!
Heavenly Court.
South Heaven Gate.
A towering and majestic South Heaven Gate stands amidst the clouds and mist. Beneath it, the four Heavenly Kings and numerous heavenly troops and generals are guarding this threshold to the Heavenly Court all the time.
Swish!
Suddenly.
Two beams of immortal light flew in and landed in front of the South Heaven Gate.
The four Heavenly Kings looked in unison and immediately recognized the newcomers. They stepped forward and said, “Celestial Master Xu… Lord Thunder.”
“Greetings to the four Heavenly Kings.”
Xu Yang greeted with a fist and palm salute, while Lord Thunder said, “Celestial Master Xu, the four Heavenly Kings will take you to meet His Majesty… I am a guilty minister, not allowed to enter the South Heaven Gate until my ten-year term is up. So I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Haha, Xu Yang!”
At this moment, a laughter was heard. Xu Yang looked up and saw Heavenly Master Xu clad in a Daoist robe and riding an immortal cloud, and he promptly stepped forward to greet him, “Junior Xu Yang greets Master Xu.”
Master Xu descended from the immortal cloud, stroking his beard and smiling, “You and I are both Heavenly Masters granted by His Majesty, and we are considered equals. There’s no need to be so polite.”
Are we equals, my ass!

If my grandpa knew about this, wouldn’t he beat me to death?
Xu Yang quickly said, “Absolutely not… We must not abandon etiquette.”
Master Xu knew that he could not convince Xu Yang on this matter, so he said, “His Majesty heard that you have come to the Heavenly Court and specially ordered me to pick you up… Celestial Master Xu, please follow me.”
He waved his whisk, and an immortal cloud descended, making a gesture of invitation.
Xu Yang gave way, “Master Xu, after you.”
Master Xu stepped onto the immortal cloud, and Xu Yang jumped on as well.
Then the immortal cloud floated away, flying deeper into South Heaven Gate.
As this was Xu Yang’s first time in the Heavenly Court, he was very curious about this place that governed the three realms and that he had only seen in TV dramas and myths.
Standing outside the South Heaven Gate, he could only see a haze.
However, once inside, he could faintly discern the appearance of the Heavenly Court.
Amidst the celestial mist, multiple layers of “heavens” were laid out, with numerous celestial palaces and courts in each layer, sparkling with radiant light, dazzling and enchanting. There were celestial birds fluttering in the mist, heavenly horses treading the void, and fairies wearing colorful celestial clothes flying around.
Farther away, there was the Heavenly River encircling the area.
Within the Heavenly River, countless stars were densely packed, forming a starry river encircling the entire thirty-three heavens. In the starry river were countless heavenly troops and generals, as well as huge immortal ships parked in the void.
These immortal ships were different from Sirius’s Qingyun Immortal Ship.
The Qingyun Immortal Ship was a flying palace-type treasure, perhaps capable of carrying some people… but it couldn’t compare to the celestial ships in the Heavenly River!
These immortal ships were genuine weapons of war, with various immortal formations drawn in them. Once activated, the power of the formations would be immense, easily piercing through planets and traversing starry skies effortlessly.
Along the way, Master Xu introduced everything about the Heavenly Court to Xu Yang. Finally, the immortal cloud landed outside a magnificent celestial palace.
Above the palace hung a purple-gold plaque inscribed with the five big characters “Taiwei Yuqing Palace”.
Xu Yang curiously asked, “Master Xu, is this where His Majesty lives?”
Master Xu nodded, exchanged a few words with a celestial official standing at the entrance of Taiwei Yuqing Palace, and the official immediately rushed into the palace, apparently going to announce their arrival.
While waiting, Xu Yang’s eyes were drawn to the “Taiwei Yuqing Palace” inscription on the plaque.
He found that each stroke of these five characters contained a special Immortal Dao, and most importantly, the characters seemed to be alive, faintly exuding a powerful vitality and life force.
“This… ”
Xu Yang exclaimed in a low voice.
He rubbed his eyes and seemed to see the “Tai” character in “Taiwei Yuqing Palace” wriggling a bit.
Suddenly, a dragon head emerged from the bottom dot of the “Tai” character, glared at Xu Yang, and barked, “Kid… what are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen such a handsome dragon before?”
Xu Yang: “???”
Master Xu saw the situation and laughed, “The plaque of Taiwei Yuqing Palace was made by His Majesty, who captured the souls of forty-two divine dragons. Each stroke is a dragon soul, and the dot under the ‘Tai’ character is the former Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace, who has a bit of a temper. Just ignore him.”
“…”
Xu Yang fell silent.
It was no wonder the dragon had a temper, after being turned into a mere dot under the character “Tai”.
However, what Xu Yang was more curious about was… why were the dragon souls from the Dragon Clan used to make characters by the Heavenly Emperor?
“This matter traces back to a great calamity when the Heavenly Court was first established… At that time, the Dragon Clan was very powerful in the three realms, ruling the rivers and lakes. They caused floods at will and treated people like insects. Later, His Majesty sent heavenly troops to the Dragon Clan to suppress them…”
Master Xu recounted the story of a great calamity in the past.
At this moment, the celestial official who had gone to report their arrival came out and said, “Celestial Master Xu, His Majesty invites you in.”
Xu Yang looked at Master Xu, who nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Xu Yang stepped forward and entered the “Taiwei Yuqing Palace”.
Although the “Taiwei Yuqing Palace” appeared small, it had its own space inside, complete with mountains, rivers, misty celestial clouds, and even the faint calls of celestial birds.
A flight of stone stairs materialized under Xu Yang’s feet.
He followed the stone stairs to the end, arriving at a garden.
Colorful immortal plants bloomed in the garden, and palm-sized flower fairies wearing dainty, mini celestial clothes and transparent wings flitted through the flowers.
