MY SYSTEM IS THREE THOUSAND YEARS EARLY

Chapter 844: Chapter 260: Has the Jade Emperor Started to Ask for Help? (Please Subscribe)

After Qing Luan’s cultivation had rapidly advanced, Cheng Guang told her to rest for a while to consolidate her newly improved cultivation realm.

Once Qing Luan had left, Cheng Guang’s gaze fell upon a side room located in the corner of the Million Specie Garden.

That side room had originally been used to detain the Queen of South Ming.

But after the Queen of South Ming had left and returned to the Ten-Layered Demon Sea, the side room had fallen into disuse. Now, it was used by Ning Qianxue for her closed-door cultivation retreats.

Before Cheng Guang had left Duke Zhen’s Mansion to go to the Holy Fish Dynasty, Ning Qianxue was in retreat.

Cheng Guang had assumed that by the time he returned, Ning Qianxue would have surely ended her retreat, but that was not the case.

“What is Ning Qianxue doing?”

“How can a retreat last so long?”

Cheng Guang frowned slightly.

The current Cheng Guang was still not quite accustomed to the rhythm of a true cultivator.

A true cultivator, or perhaps more accurately, an immortal cultivator, could spend a month, several months, or even half a year in retreat.

At present, Ning Qianxue had merely been in retreat for around a week.

It would be normal to say that it was normal.

Yet it would also be abnormal to say it was abnormal.

After all, in Cheng Guang’s view, given Ning Qianxue’s current strength of cultivation, there was no need for her to retreat for such a long duration.

A minor cultivation bottleneck or the stabilizing of one’s cultivation realm should at most take three or four days to resolve, certainly not drag out for as long as it had.

The more Cheng Guang thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. Just as he was about to stand up and enter Ning Qianxue’s room to check on her,

“Creak…”

Ning Qianxue’s room door suddenly opened from the inside.

Ning Qianxue, dressed in plain clothes, walked out of the room.

She appeared languid, her hair slightly disheveled, yawning lazily.

After stepping out of the room, she stretched laboriously.

“Princely Heir?”

“You’re back?”

After relaxing, Ning Qianxue noticed Cheng Guang sitting in the nearby pavilion, called out to him, and walked towards him.

Cheng Guang, as Ning Qianxue approached, deftly took her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

“Why did your retreat last so long this time?”

Ning Qianxue placed her slender jade leg on Cheng Guang’s lap, finding a comfortable angle to lean on, then said somewhat coquettishly, “Isn’t it because of the revival of heaven’s path…”

Cheng Guang’s brow creased slightly, “The revival of heaven’s path…”

“Did your cultivation level increase?”

“Even if your cultivation increased, it shouldn’t take a week, right? Could it be your cultivation…”

As he spoke, Cheng Guang placed a hand on Ning Qianxue’s forehead, intending to see how much her cultivation had improved.

However, when Cheng Guang’s Qi surged into Ning Qianxue’s body,

He suddenly made a discovery.

The Qi and Primordial Spirit within Ning Qianxue, or said differently, Ning Qianxue’s strength of cultivation, had not increased in the slightest after her retreat.

The strength of her cultivation before and after the retreat was absolutely identical, without the slightest difference.

“Wait, your cultivation realm hasn’t improved either…”

Cheng Guang looked at Ning Qianxue, slightly speechless.

Ning Qianxue quickly shook her head, “No, that’s not it.”

“Princely Heir, you’ve misunderstood, it’s not that I wanted to improve my cultivation because of the revival of the path that I went into retreat.”

“Then for what reason?”

Cheng Guang couldn’t help but ask, his eyes reflecting a hint of curiosity.

Ning Qianxue took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes showing a touch of embarrassment and indecision.

“It’s because of…”

“Heavenly Court’s matters.”

Cheng Guang was taken aback upon hearing this, unsure of what to reply. He gently patted Ning Qianxue’s bottom, shifted the way he held her, and then encouraged her to continue.

Ning Qianxue, with a complex expression, said: “After the revival of heaven’s path, the dormant Heavenly Court’s Decrees in my mind started to stir.”

“I can feel that these Heavenly Court’s Decrees are directing me, wanting me to do something, or to go somewhere to… convene.”

Cheng Guang listened to Ning Qianxue’s words without much surprise.

After all, following the revival of heaven’s path, the Celestial Gods had mostly begun to awaken.

Since the Celestial Gods were starting to awaken, it was impossible for them not to take action.

If action was to be taken, then there surely needed to be a unified directive or a leader.

Considering this…

“Is it the Jade Emperor sending the message?”

Cheng Guang asked.

Ning Qianxue shook her head, “It should be the Jade Emperor, but it doesn’t quite seem like him.”

“Because this will emanating from the Heavenly Court’s Decrees doesn’t seem like an order from the Jade Emperor.”

Cheng Guang’s mind was racing, many thoughts whirling through his head as he listened to Ning Qianxue, before he spoke up again:

“Why do you feel it doesn’t seem like an order from the Jade Emperor?”

“Is it someone else’s order?”

“There should be only a few who could use the Heavenly Court’s Decrees to convey orders to the various former Celestial Gods; it wouldn’t be too hard to narrow down and identify who it might be.”

Ning Qianxue wore a strange look, shaking her head: “I think it should be the Jade Emperor, but then again, this will from within the Heavenly Court’s Decrees makes me feel that it can’t be him.”

“Because this will…”

“Is…”

“Calling for help.”

Ning Qianxue hesitated before finally uttering the words “calling for help.”

Hearing Ning Qianxue say “calling for help,” Cheng Guang was taken aback.
