I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 64: The Loss of Time

"Who is it?"

Xia Yi was startled. This was the lowermost level of the Heavenly Prison, where the restrictions were inherited from the Ancient Beast Court and left behind by the Demon God. The Universal Truth prohibition was capable of trapping even Taiyi Golden Immortal-level experts. How could there suddenly be a voice?

He cautiously proceeded to the lowermost levels. The further down he went, the denser the chilling and sinister aura became.

The Filthy Qi that rose from the four continents of the Earth Immortal realm mostly gathered in these levels, making the environment extremely harsh. It could even freeze an immortal to death.

Until he reached the 80th level of the Heavenly Prison, the extremely mournful sigh resounded again, causing goosebumps to rise on Xia Yi's skin.

All around, there was emptiness, coldness, and a lack of direction. Countless restrictions were hidden within the void.

Xia Yi held the Heavenly Prison divine command in his hand and carefully avoided various formations. If he accidentally triggered one, he would have no choice but to let the system escort his True Spirit to reincarnate.

After walking for a long time, he saw an altar ahead.

On the altar sat a young girl dressed in white, barefoot like white jade. She exuded a sacred aura all over her body, like a fairy from the Yaochi, except her shoulders were pierced by several chains extending from the void. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked extremely miserable.

"Clatter..."

The divine chains trembled.

Seeing someone approaching, the girl's somewhat vacant eyes regained their brilliance.

"The true god of the Heavenly Court?"

The girl's voice was as melodious as silver bells, flowing like a clear spring and resembling the chirping of countless birds.

"I am Xia Yi, the Heavenly Court's scapegoat!" Xia Yi bowed.

"It has been a full three thousand years since this maiden has seen a living person!"

The girl sighed.

A desolate and lonely feeling instantly permeated the air.

Even Xia Yi's mood plummeted to the bottom, as if he had also experienced countless years of oppression.

The Third Grade Pure World White Lotus slightly circulated, dispelling this aura.

He was secretly shocked. This woman was too terrifying. Just a simple sentence could greatly affect his state of mind. It was truly unimaginable.

At that moment, he released a trace of the Heavenly Demon's aura.

"The Bo Xun Heavenly Demon Scripture? Who are you?"

The chains in the void "clattered" again, indicating that the girl's heart was not calm.

"I inform the Ninth Princess that I am the named disciple of the Great Asura King Bo Xun. I can be considered the Ninth Princess's junior brother. I am currently investigating the restrictions of the Heavenly Prison under the orders of the Thirty-Sixth Princess. The Demon Lord will soon send powerful Asura experts to attack the Heavenly Court and rescue the princess!" Xia Yi said.

By now, he had already learned the identity of the girl in front of him. She was the ninth daughter of the Great Asura Demon King and the Heavenly Concubine Wu Mo, Yan Ying'er.

The Great Asura Demon King had seventy-two princesses, all conceived from the extremely yin and obscene aura of the Stygian River. They were extremely skilled in dual cultivation and replenishment techniques, and calling them lascivious was not an exaggeration.

However, Yan Ying'er was different. She was naturally pure and devoid of any obscene aura.

Moreover, her comprehension was extremely high. Even as a child, she could comprehend superior magic, earning the favor of the Lord of the Stygian River. She was even bestowed the title of the Saintess of the Stygian River, traveling through the Three Realms and spreading the teachings of the Asura Sect.

Later, during the Xia Dynasty in the Earth Immortal realm, Yan Ying'er seduced the Human Sovereign Jie and promoted the teachings of the Asura Sect in the mortal world.

For a while, the people's grievances boiled over.

Countless beings even shouted the defiant roar:

"The loss of time, both you and I shall perish!"

That Xia Dynasty monarch, Jie, was in charge of the sun and had refined his body to the point of resembling an ancestral witch. He was the contemporary Human Sovereign.

Even the Heavenly Emperor had to lower himself before him!

In the end, they were still overwhelmed by the backlash of cause and effect, and plunged into a boiling turmoil among the people, with all divine powers extinguished.

At this point, the Nine Tripods disappeared, and the Xia capital collapsed.

Then, the predestined Dark Phoenix descended and gave birth to the Shang dynasty.

A great dynasty rose slowly.

Although Yan Ying'er had achieved the boundless Divine Ability of the Great Asura and obtained the position of Taiyi Golden Immortal during the Three Emperors period, she was burdened by the grievances of the people and her Dao heart was almost shattered.

Later, she was captured by the immortals of the Three Teachings and sent to the Heavenly Prison, where she has been imprisoned until now.

"Leader, at least my father and mother haven't forgotten about me..." Yan Ying'er murmured to herself.

"Princess Nine, rest assured, in as little as three years or as long as five years, you will regain your freedom!" Xia Yi said.

Yan Ying'er said lightly, "You do have some intentions! After this is done, you won't be without your benefits!"

"In that case, I'll take my leave, Junior Brother!" Xia Yi bowed and quickly left.

After returning to the Star Lord's Mansion for a short time, he was greeted by heavenly gods such as Deng Yuanzhen, You Jiugong, and Fei Peng.

They were all divine generals guarding the Heavenly Court, with countless Heavenly Soldiers under their command.

Especially Fei Peng, the divine general guarding the Southern Gate of Heaven, was extremely powerful, even stronger than the one in charge of the Heavenly River Water Army Camp.

A goat had been roasted to a golden shine, with drops of oil sizzling on the fire, crispy on the outside and tender inside, emitting a fragrant aroma. It was dipped in various sauces, with all flavors present, and the enticing aroma filled the Immortal Mansion.

In addition to that, there were many delicious dishes and aged wines.

Fei Peng picked up a wine cup, and the golden liquid inside was like honey, smooth on the palate. A burst of fiery heat seemed to ignite, then turned into a sweet fragrance that wafted out with each breath, causing his eyes to brighten.

The other gods were either eating meat or drinking wine, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xia Yi also joined in the eating and drinking, constantly urging others to drink.

These delicious dishes and wines were mostly provided by the system as lunch and so on.

If they were not eaten regularly, they could accumulate, which was considered a good benefit.

However, the goat was not provided by the system, but raised by the Heavenly Court.

It was chosen when it was young and full of spiritual energy. It usually ate various immortal herbs to cleanse its body of impurities and filth, and was then fed with Lingzhi, Huangjing, Zhu Guo, and other Spirit Medicines. It gnawed on them every day, and its meat was exceptionally delicious.

Each main god could receive about a hundred of them each year, which was considered a benefit of the Heavenly Court.

Xia Yi entertained them with the divine goat and the dishes provided by the system, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Deng Yuanzhen, who guarded the Heavenly Prison, raised his wine cup and chuckled, "Fei Peng, I've heard that you've been going near the Yaochi recently. Are you interested in one of the fairy maidens who serve the Queen Mother?"

"I heard that Fei Peng seems to have taken a liking to Xi Yao, one of the fairy maidens who serves the Queen Mother!" You Jiugong, who patrolled the various heavens, also laughed.

"It's completely groundless!" Fei Peng denied.

"Your Majesty will inspect the Three Realms in five years, and at that time, the Queen Mother will also accompany you. Fei Peng, you can openly meet that fairy maiden then." Deng Yuanzhen laughed heartily.

Xia Yi's heart trembled when he heard this. It turned out that the Asura lineage took advantage of the absence of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother in the Heavenly Court to launch an attack.

Then he half-jokingly, half-seriously said, "No matter if it's true or not, Fei Peng, you still need to be careful. You should know that the Queen Mother detests romantic relationships between men and women the most. If it's discovered, it won't be good at all."

Fei Peng remained silent and just took a sip of the divine wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Deng Yuanzhen mysteriously said, "Do you all know the true purpose of His Majesty and the Queen Mother's visit to the mortal realm?"

"Oh? Please enlighten us!" The gods put down their wine cups.

"It's for the Chaos Bell that appeared in the Tang Valley!"
