Xu Shan lied on the bed. His eyes were closed but he was still awake. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling. It was as if he was missing something... Something that he hadn't taken into consideration.
He wasn't entirely sure if the second fragment was also a book or not. And if it was another Heavenly Book, then what was its specialty? He felt as if he was playing a game of chess while being blindfolded.
"Xinren... Come on. Where exactly did you go?" He muttered to himself. Xinren was his biggest support at the start.
Not only did she teach her about the Book of Desires, but she was also the person who was able to tell him about the specialty of the books that the others possessed since she was a Book Spirit herself. However, she hadn't appeared before him for a long time.
He didn't even know if something had happened to her. Her absence was quite troublesome for him, since she was one of his biggest advantages in this.
"I don't know where you are. But I hope that you're safe and return soon..."
Throughout the night, he tried to sleep, not making any moves on the first day itself. However, he couldn't sleep at all. Instead, he was wide awake.
In the end, unable to sleep, he stood up. He donned his Royal Robe over his shoulders before walking out of the guest house.
The sky above it looked just as beautiful as it looked from the Eternal Dynasty. However, it was quite different from what he experienced back on earth from the hospital window.
He wasn't sure if it was because he wasn't stuck in a hospital bed. But the feeling of freedom made this atmosphere even more tranquil.
The beautiful moon was shining high in the sky. The stars were twinkling like shining jewels on the dark canvas of the sky.
He took a deep breath and looked around, experiencing a feeling of peace and tranquility. Even with all the headache that he had, this place wasn't half bad.
He glanced back, looking at the roof of the guest house where Ye Han was sitting. He didn't ask Ye Han why he was sitting there, since he already knew.
Ye Han was trying to sense the aura of Yu Fei to locate her rough whereabouts. Unfortunately, he couldn't find her.
In the end, he jumped down the roof, as soon as he noticed Xu Shan. He didn't say anything since there was a risk of being spied on. He only shook his head lightly.
At the same time, he sent a mental transmission that only Xu Shan could hear.
"I can't sense her aura anywhere. She's probably somewhere that's protected by a powerful barrier, comparable to the misty formation around the Celestial Island."
Xu Shan didn't react much. He had somewhat expected that this wasn't going to be easy. Fortunately, he had more time here.
Thanks to the Book of Truth, he knew that the Celestial Lotus was going to bloom in a lower world in two months. Just the journey there alone took a little over a month.
There was also more preparation that he needed to do before that. In total, he had already reserved one and a half month for that.
That left him with close to fifteen days in this place to deal with the Saintess, which was more than enough according to him. He also believed that he could drag the negotiations for a week or so.
In any case, he couldn't miss the Celestial Lotus. Even though the authority of the Eternal Dynasty was good for him and kept him safe, that wasn't his own strength. He wanted to become stronger himself, so that his life didn't depend on external factors.
For that, he needed to awaken his second Celestial Spirit as soon as possible, and the Celestial Lotus was the shortcut needed for that!
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom What was even better was that the Celestial Lotus was in the power world. He didn't have to worry about many things in the lower world. Or so he thought.
"Take a walk with me. It's getting boring inside the room." He didn't talk about Yu Fei, as if that matter didn't concern him in the least.
Instead, he simply walked through the beautiful garden before him, followed by Ye Han next to him.
Even though they were told to stay in the guest house, they weren't prisoners that couldn't move freely.
Xu Shan also didn't care about such rules if there were any. He was just taking a walk while observing the Celestial Palace after all. What was the worst they could accuse him of? Even though he was a guest, he wasn't an ordinary guest after all.
The Celestial Palace looked beautiful under the moonlight. It was as if this place was made to appear like some Moon Palace.
Not only could the Celestial Palace absorb the energy of the moon, but it also used that energy to strengthen the protective formations in the surroundings.
It was also said that the members of the Celestial Palace were the children blessed by the Moon Goddess. Even though it was a rumor, it was enough to show how connected this place was to the Moon.
"This place is quite big..." Xu Shan commented, walking on the empty streets. In the middle of the night, most of the disciples of the Celestial Palace were in their rooms, either training or sleeping.
Moreover, not a single guard could be seen in the surroundings, even though Xu Shan was sure that they were nearby, keeping an eye on him. He didn't care though. He had no intentions for the night.

Reflection Peak was the place where most of the disciples who did something wrong were sent to think about their wrongs and cultivate in seclusion.
The entire mountain was surrounded by another powerful barrier, which made it impossible for anyone to enter this place, without the permission of the Palace Master.
However, there were a few people who had the permission to enter this place. One of them was a disciple of the Great Elder. She was responsible for delivering the food to Yu Fei, who had been in the peak for over a month.
As the young female disciples got closer to the mountain, a small opening appeared on the barrier, sending the token in the girl's pocket.
The girl was carrying food in her hand, and appeared to be quite innocent. However, there was a strange look in her eyes.
