Chapter 921: Back to the Pill Tower
After getting his rewards, Hei Yu and his team had excused themselves for the night and bid their farewell to the two powerful individuals within the group. Tan Shengyu, Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia remained in the forest for a while and decided to find a new spot to watch the sunrise. While waiting for the sunrise Tan Shengyu told the Immortal Sun Emperor and the Moon Goddess his desire to go into some underground arena to fight.
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Go. Right now, that place is the only stage you can use to relieve your desire to fight. It’s better if you go. After our journey to the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest, I am planning on sending you to where Taiyang is, he will handle all your training. My Empire had training areas which would greatly help you with increasing the size of your miniature sun."
Tan Shengyu already knows that his Master will not stop him and moves his gaze to the Moon Goddess who is the real master of authority between the two. Yue Xuexia didn’t respond right away but finished her soup. The other two men, both Shen Jueyang and Tan Shengyu gulp instinctively. After all, without the permission of Yue Xuexia even if the Immortal Sun Emperor agrees it is useless.
Gulps~
The Moon Goddess smiled all of the sudden her Moon Domain descended. Tan Shengyu and the Immortal Sun Emperor, Shen Jueyang tremble under that smile. This is especially true when they saw her holding the knife like a sword. Even Shen Jueyang flinched at this scene. He had only seen Yue Xuexia hold a sword a few times every time she did, it was all to kill an enemy. He had also seen her hold something and used it as a sword like her divine fan and now a knife. The feeling of terror is not much different from her seeing a sword in her hand.
Tan Shengyu as the target felt it even more. For a swordmaster, holding something in their hand is the same as holding a weapon. Without a sword their power would lessen a lot but it didn’t mean it cannot cut something.
"M-Mistress?" Tan Shengyu calls with a trembling voice.
The Moon Goddess stood up and looked at him, "I will allow you to enter that Underground Arena under one condition."
"W-What condition?" asked Tan Shengyu.
Yue Xuexia made a move and one step was enough to suddenly appear before Tan Shengyu raised the knife in her hand and slashed down.
Whoosh!
A large cut on the ground appeared to where Tan Shengyu is after he dodges.
Yue Xuexia turned her head to look at Tan Shengyu once again and said, "Survive until the sun rises~."
After that Yue Xuexia had continuously attacked Tan Shengyu forcing him to dodge and block. Shen Jueyang who was observing smirk and instantly joined the fun. In the end, Tan Shengyu’s screams resound all night and if not for the isolation barrier placed by the Immortal Sun Emperor, they would have woken up everyone in the Inner Haven.
Once the sun had officially risen to the sky, illuminating the morning, Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia stopped attacking Tan Shengyu who was covered in all kinds of cuts on his vitals yet was able to survive properly for those hellish few hours. He is now lying on the ruined forest ground covered in all kinds of sword slashes panting like an air deprived person.
Pants~
"Hm~ he had survived quite well," commented the Immortal Sun Emperor who is also the master of the person lying on the ground.
The Moon Goddess said, "With this he should survive without any problems, better wear your armors and bring your weapons. You can do as you please."
After making sure that Tan Shengyu wouldn’t be easily killed by hidden or ambush attacks, Yue Xuexia had given him a few pills to eat on the spot. The following pills are Healing Pill, Detoxification Pill, Purification Pills and Regeneration Pills. Well, only some healing pills were eaten on the spot while the others were given for his use just in case something happened. Both the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor had added more power in his jade tokens just in case for safety purposes.
"Alright. With that even if you fight directly an Emperor you should be able to survive," said Shen Jueyang.
Yue Xuexia also pulled three teleportation talismans and gave it to Tan Shengyu. "Use this for emergencies. Just tearing it will be enough to teleport you directly to where I am. Alright. I’m going to prepare breakfast now and head to the Pill Tower."
"Let’s go back to the mansion then," said Shen Jueyang to Yue Xuexia.
The two return to the mansion leaving Tan Shengyu alone to handle the cleaning up they had left behind. What is the use of a disciple if the master cannot use them for running errands? Seeing the destroyed area and the left behind griller, pots and kitchen utensils, Tan Shengyu felt crying.

During breakfast Yue Xuexia said that everyone can do as they wish for the whole three months. Everyone was stunned at the beginning when they heard about this only to recall about the alchemy battle three months from now. Clearly, the Moon Goddess would be staying most of her time at the Pill Tower.
"For the following three months, everyone is free to do as you wish. If you have free time, investigate the Phoenix-Dragon Ancient Nest. But there is no need to focus on this as I had someone investigate it," said Yue Xuexia. "If you need me and I am not at home, you can find me at the Pill Tower within these three months."
"Mistress, are you going back to this mansion during those three months?" Grandma Tang Yuyi asked.
The Moon Goddess said, "I will have breakfast and dinner at home. Please send me some lunch at the Pill Tower."
"I had nothing much to do. I will accompany you at the tower most of the time unless I have something to do," The Immortal Sun Emperor.
Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue said, "We will investigate things at the Inner Haven."
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "I will send Shengyu for a few errands so he won’t be home for the whole day but be back for dinner. Shuyi, don’t worry about him. He will not die. It will also be considered training for him. But the place he might be going might not be safe for you so stay at home."
"Yes, Lord Shen," said Xue Shuyi as she glanced at the Mistress who had given her nod. "Then I will stay at home with Mom and Dad."
Tang Yuyi said, "That is also good. You can go shopping for groceries with me everyday."
"Hm. I will continue to train at home for now," said Tan Huangyu.
Lately, Tan Shengyu had been trying to increase his realm, at least breakthrough to Peak Mahayama realm or the Godking realm before they went to the treasure land. He was informed that inside the ruin the Mistress and Lord Shen will help him change his physique for a better one. Doing the transformation inside the ruins is better as there are more resources in that place that may aid him in the process of his physique transformation.
Now that everything had been decided, after breakfast Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue, Yue Xuexia, Tan Shengyu and Shen Jueyang used the carriage provided by the district to leave the floating island on and off. It’s a carriage pulled by four pegasus.
Yue Xuexia said, "We might be staying in this place for a while. Bingyu, buy some flying spirit beasts and a few carriages then return this one to the district station. The carriage pulled by six phoenixes is too eye-catching."
"Yes, Mistress!" Tan Bingyu said.
Their first destination is the Pill Tower where the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor planned to stay for the rest of the day. The carriage will be left to the young couple as Tan Shengyu would be also leaving once they reached a certain restaurant where he promised to meet Hei Yu.
In front of the Pill Tower...
The Pill Tower Master Han Siyu and two Grand Elders, Su Kan and Li Houye, were waiting at the entrance for the arrival of the two big shots, the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor. Though in the eyes of the others, they are only a young lady in a veil and a young sword cultivator. Only those who had some guess in their heart knew who they truly are.
"Welcome, Divine Doctor and..."
"You can call me Shen," the Immortal Sun Emperor said.
"We greet the Divine Doctress and Lord Shen! Welcome to the Pill Tower!"
The Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor nod their heads at them before going inside the head of everyone. The Pill Tower Master and Grand Elder Li Houye didn’t have much reaction but Grand Elder Su Kan frowned for a moment. He couldn’t understand why the two sworn brothers of his were too polite towards this young pair. He can feel through their realms and it was only only at Mahayama realm. At least that is what Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang want them to perceive. While in the eyes of the Pill Tower Master and Grand Elder Li Houye, such a thing is only a facade to fool the enemies of their Pill Tower.
Yue Xuexia commanded, "Bring me to where you make pills and I want you to make a pill for me to see."
"Yes, Divine Doctress!"
