Chapter 262: The Three Sacred Heavens

Xiaohongyun wanted to sneak after them, but the smarter Concubine Twelve yanked her sky-high pigtails, saying, “Hongyun, you mustn’t cause trouble, or Concubine Twelve will stop giving you milk.”

At the mention of losing her milk, Hongyun obediently quieted down, pouting her little lips, and curiously asked, “Concubine Twelve, what exactly is the Heaven of Three Saints like? Is it fun?”

At the same moment, in different places, the same question echoed.

“The Heaven of Three Saints? What is that thing? I’m not going, not going at all—it’s not fun!”

A stubborn voice echoed within the Dragon Palace’s forbidden area. The rascal was indulging in sensual pleasures, so how could he possibly choose a life of swords and danger?

“Be bold! Only by reporting to the Heaven of Three Saints can we deal with the Queen Mother. You don’t think we’re just going to wait for that wench to take over the Dragon Palace, do you? Tomorrow, we’ll stage an attack on the heavenly troops, while you sneak away in the chaos. Once the Three Sages emerge from retreat, the crisis across the Four Seas will naturally be resolved.”

“This…” Ta Yuan’s words made much sense. At this moment, the Dragon Queen also displayed a miraculously tender gaze, making the man’s heart warm and igniting in him a sudden impulse to spill blood and sacrifice his life for the Dragon Palace.

“This…” The man hadn’t even finished speaking when the two women’s breathing became rapid and heavy. A tingling sensation roamed under the man’s gaze, finally gathering between their legs.

“Ahh…”

The female immortal’s moans surged with surprise and excitement. A passionate farewell battle erupted. This time, Qiao San clearly felt that the two women were especially passionate and unusually proactive. Especially Ta Yuan, who rarely initiated, even offered a passionate kiss.

The rascal was delighted, naively believing it was the reluctance of parting, completely unaware that one foot had already stepped into the realm of death.

How could the Queen Mother allow him to reach the Heaven of Three Saints? Numerous traps had already been set. Even if the rogue managed to break through, instead of a warm welcome from the Three Sages, he would face an even greater disaster.

The next day, the Four Seas suddenly surged with waves. Countless aquatic soldiers rode the tides, their killing intent rushing directly toward the heavenly troops’ camp.

The cries of battle quickly merged into a chorus. Although the blood mist and screams weren’t yet intense, the dark clouds covering the sky had already been scattered by the killing aura.

Within the aquatic army, a figure broke through the chaos into the sky. Just as the Dragon Queen and Ta Yuan withdrew their gazing eyes, an excited report from a soldier reached their ears: “Reporting, Your Majesty! Our vanguard has defeated the enemy. The left and right flanks request permission to advance!”

“Ahh!” The Dragon Queen and Ta Yuan exchanged glances, surprised by this unexpected stroke of luck.

“Dragon Queen, this…”

Ta Yuan hesitated, looking around. This outcome deviated from their plan. She had only wanted revenge against the Queen Mother, not to engage in life-or-death conflict with the heavenly troops.

Dragon Queen of the Four Seas bit her teeth. Since plans couldn’t keep up with changes, she decided to adapt accordingly. The ruthless immortal’s eyes flashed with determination: “Kill them! Give the Queen Mother a gift in return!”

With the Dragon Queen’s command, the hesitant cries of battle immediately soared into the sky. The winds and waves of the Four Seas instantly filled the heavens and earth.

The battle didn’t last long. The unprepared heavenly soldiers quickly fell back, abandoning banners and fleeing in panic.

“Hmph, a bunch of useless trash.”

The Dragon Queen stood majestically atop the surging waves, watching her aquatic troops chase the fleeing heavenly soldiers. When the shrimp and crab soldiers moved far from the Water-Cutting Formation, the ruler of the Four Seas suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, finally regaining clarity from the killing intent: “Something’s wrong—the heavenly soldiers seem to have retreated too orderly!”

In the critical moment, the fiery Dragon Queen suddenly leapt into the floating clouds. A dragon roar pierced through the clouds. Returning to her true form, the Dragon Queen was several times larger than an ordinary dragon. Her dragon horn glowed, and a light barrier blocked the uncontrollable advance of the shrimp and crab soldiers.

The entire aquatic army froze for a moment. The Dragon Queen’s irresistible tone instantly spread across the battlefield: “Retreat to the Dragon Palace! Disobedience will be punished by death!”

“Dong, dong!”

At the very moment the aquatic troops began their retreat, a drumbeat suddenly sounded from the horizon. Within moments, the sky was covered in shadow—another ten thousand heavenly troops emerged from hidden clouds.

The Four Directional General, having feigned retreat, suddenly halted his heavenly steed, pulled the reins, and charged back. Twenty thousand heavenly soldiers united, roaring with intent to annihilate the aquatic troops who had just entered the encirclement.

The sea surged upward, radiant light bursting forth. The Water-Cutting Formation reached its peak power, allowing the aquatic troops to narrowly escape annihilation by a single step.

“You wicked Queen Mother! This palace will never reconcile with you!”

The rear-guarding Dragon Queen didn’t bother wiping the blood mist from her temple. Although she had slain over a hundred heavenly soldiers, it was still difficult to quell her raging fury. She hadn’t expected the Queen Mother to be so ruthless, secretly reinforcing another ten thousand heavenly troops.

Ta Yuan forcibly pulled the Dragon Queen back to the Dragon Palace, trying to console herself: “Forget it. Anyway, Da Gan San has already left. The Queen Mother has only outsmarted herself, actually helping us greatly.”

The ruler of the Four Seas indeed couldn’t resist Ta Yuan’s allure. Her anger quickly dissipated. Looking around, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise: “Hmm, it seems someone is missing!”

Little Red Cloud wanted to sneak along, but the clever Twelve grabbed her little pigtail, “Red Cloud, you can’t go and cause trouble, or Aunt Twelve won’t give you milk anymore.”

Hearing that she might be weaned, Red Cloud obediently pouted her lips and asked curiously, “Aunt Twelve, what is the Three Sacred Heavens really like? Is it fun?”

At the same time, in different places, the same question was being asked.

“The Three Sacred Heavens? What’s that? No, no, it’s not fun!”

The rogue’s voice echoed in the forbidden area of the Dragon Palace. The scoundrel was indulging in the warmth and softness of his companions, how could he be willing to live a life of swords and shadows?!

“Bold! Only by going to the Three Sacred Heavens to lodge a complaint can we deal with the Queen Mother. You wouldn’t want to wait for the Dragon Palace to be occupied by that wretch, would you? Tomorrow we will feign an attack on the heavenly soldiers, and you will take advantage of the chaos to break through and escape. As long as the Three Venerables come out of seclusion, the crisis in the Four Seas will naturally be resolved.”

“This…” Taiyuan’s words were very reasonable. At this moment, the Dragon Mother also revealed a miraculously affectionate gaze, which made the man’s heart warm. In an instant, he felt the impulse to shed blood and sacrifice for the Dragon Palace.

“My two ladies, I can go, but on one condition…”

Before the man could finish speaking, the breaths of the two women had already become rapid and heavy. A tingling sensation, guided by the man’s gaze, spread everywhere and finally gathered between their legs.

“Ah…”

The moans of the female immortals rose in a scream, and a farewell battle heatedly unfolded. This time, Qiao San clearly felt that the two women were particularly passionate and proactive, especially Taiyuan, who even took the rare initiative to offer a passionate kiss.

The scoundrel was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear, thinking it was the reluctance of parting, completely unaware that he had already stepped halfway into the realm of death.

How could the Queen Mother allow him to enter the Three Sacred Heavens? Numerous checkpoints had already been set up; even if the scoundrel managed to succeed by chance, what awaited him was not the good tea and wine of the Three Venerables, but an even greater catastrophe.

The next day, the Four Seas suddenly surged with waves, and thousands of water soldiers rose with the waves, their overwhelming killing intent rushing towards the heavenly soldiers’ camp.

The sounds of killing soon connected into a continuous roar. Although the blood mist and screams were not yet intense, the dark clouds in the sky had already been dispersed by the killing intent.

Among the water soldiers, a figure took advantage of the chaos to break through the air and leave. Just as the Dragon Mother and Taiyuan retracted their gazes, the excited report of the water soldiers reached their ears, “Reporting to the Dragon Mother, our vanguard has defeated the enemy, and the left and right flanks request orders to attack!”

“Ah!” The Dragon Mother and Taiyuan looked at each other in surprise, not expecting such an unexpected turn of events.

“Dragon Mother, this…”

Taiyuan looked around in distress. This was a bit inconsistent with the plan. She only hated the Queen Mother and did not want to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the heavenly soldiers.

The Dragon Mother of the Four Seas secretly gritted her teeth. Since the plan could not keep up with the changes, she would adapt accordingly. The ruthless female immortal’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as she said, “Kill! Give the Queen Mother a return gift!”

At the Dragon Mother’s command, the somewhat reluctant shouts of killing immediately rose to the sky, and the winds and waves of the Four Seas instantly filled the heavens and the earth.

The smoke of battle did not last long. The unprepared heavenly soldiers and generals were soon defeated, leaving behind a trail of banners as they fled in panic.

“Hmph, a bunch of trash.”

The Dragon Mother stood majestically atop the waves, watching the Four Seas’ aquatic creatures chase the fleeing heavenly soldiers. When the shrimp soldiers and crab generals moved away from the Water-Cutting Formation, the ruler of the Four Seas’ heartstrings trembled, and she finally woke up from the killing intent, “Something’s wrong, the heavenly soldiers seem to have been defeated too neatly!”

In the critical situation, the fiery Dragon Mother suddenly leaped into the void among the floating clouds. A dragon’s roar broke through the clouds, and the Dragon Mother, returning to her true form, was several times larger than an ordinary dragon. Her dragon horns lit up, and a curtain of light blocked the uncontrolled steps of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

The thousands of aquatic creatures were momentarily stunned, and the Dragon Mother’s irresistible tone instantly filled the battlefield, “Withdraw to the Dragon Palace, those who disobey will be executed!”

“Thud, thud!”

At the same moment the aquatic creatures retreated, the sound of war drums suddenly rang out from the horizon. In less than a moment, the sky was shrouded in shadows, and another hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals emerged from the hidden clouds.

The Four True Lords, who had feigned defeat, reined in their heavenly horses, turned around, and charged back. The two hundred thousand heavenly soldiers joined forces, roaring with the intent to annihilate the aquatic creatures of the Four Seas who had just entered the encirclement.

The waves rose, and light radiated in all directions. The Water-Cutting Formation unleashed its full power, and the aquatic creatures of the Four Seas narrowly escaped the catastrophe by a single step.

“Wretched Queen Mother, I swear to be your mortal enemy!”

The Dragon Mother, covering the rear, did not want to wipe away the blood mist from her temples. Although she had slaughtered hundreds of heavenly soldiers, it was still difficult to quell her towering rage. She had not expected the Queen Mother to be so vicious, secretly reinforcing another hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.

Taiyuan forcibly pulled the Dragon Mother back to the Dragon Palace, somewhat self-consolingly persuading, “Forget it, Bold Three has already escaped. The Queen Mother’s cleverness has backfired, and she has actually done us a great favor.”

The ruler of the Four Seas was naturally unable to resist Taiyuan’s aura, and her anger quickly dissipated. Looking around, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Huh, it seems like someone is missing!”

In the heavenly realm, the recently healed Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear knelt before the Queen Mother.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Dragon Palace is holding firm, and our army’s clever plan has failed. The Primordial Heavenly King is currently on his way to the Three Sacred Heavens.”

“Hmm! Continue to monitor Bold Three’s movements. You may leave!”

The scoundrel had broken through, but the Queen Mother was not the least bit angry. Instead, she casually leaned on the phoenix throne, taking a leisurely nap.

The Great White Planet waited at the foot of the steps for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but offer advice, “Your Majesty, the Primordial Heavenly King must be trying to enter the Three Sacred Heavens. Should this humble immortal mobilize troops to prepare in advance?”

“Don’t worry, I have already prepared three great gifts for him. I want to see how he passes these three hurdles, hmph!” As she spoke, the Queen Mother’s eyes unconsciously glanced at the ten-thousand-year divine frog placed beside her. Although Yuan Shi had used this magical tool to deceive her once, the Queen Mother’s unfinished words were all poured out to it.

No matter what, this time she must not fail again!

The situation once again became complex and elusive. Who was the fisherman, who was the fish, and who was the fragrant bait? No one could be completely sure anymore.

“Reporting, Your Majesty. The Dragon Palace is holding its ground. Our strategy failed. Yuan Shi Tian Wang is now on his way to the Heaven of Three Saints.”

“Hmm! Continue monitoring Da Gan San’s movements. You may withdraw now.”

The rogue had broken through, but the Queen Mother showed no sign of anger. Instead, she waved her sleeve and leisurely reclined on her phoenix throne, taking a peaceful nap.

After waiting briefly at the foot of the steps, Tai Bai Jin Xing finally couldn’t help but speak: “Your Majesty, Yuan Shi Tian Wang certainly intends to enter the Heaven of Three Saints. Shall this humble servant mobilize troops in advance as a precaution?”

“Rest assured. I’ve already prepared three grand gifts for him. I’d like to see how he manages to pass these three trials, hmph!” As she spoke, the Queen Mother instinctively glanced at the divine toad placed beside her throne. Although Yuan Shi had once deceived her with this treasure, the unspoken words in her heart were now entirely directed at it.

No matter what, this time she absolutely could not fail again!

Suddenly, the situation became complicated and obscure. Who was the fisherman, who was the fish, and who was the bait? No one could be entirely certain anymore.
