Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 229: The Memories of the 228 Fairy Palace and Christina
Zhou Bai bid farewell to Auntie Wang and reluctantly took another bite of fish before he painfully sold all the food in his bowl.
The meals Zhao Shouyi specially arranged for him were indeed of great value; just one meal allowed Zhou Bai to gain over 1600 laziness points.
In the following days, Zhou Bai stopped having Christina auto-cultivate and resumed a normal schedule of cultivating during the day and sleeping at night, primarily accumulating laziness points through three precious meals each day.
Meanwhile, by cultivating with Tina and the study group, his Primordial Spirit power surged, relentlessly sprinting towards the limit of 2999. His Primordial Spirit grew stronger and more resilient.
...
In Tian Ting, the Immortal Palace of the Thunder Department.
Zheng Wentian’s Golden Armored God General stood anxiously outside a grand gate.
Before him, a Heavenly Court official said coldly, "Zi Yang True Monarch is still in closed-door cultivation studying the Immortal Law. He will not receive visitors today."
The Golden Armored God General, still holding the treasure sealed by Zheng Wentian, spoke with anxious urgency, "Esteemed officer, my lord is True Monarch’s son Zheng Wentian. He has sent me to deliver an important item. Could you please notify his eminence on my behalf?"
The official glared at him coldly, "The Sword Immortal’s cultivation retreat is not to be disturbed casually. If you get into trouble from above, can you take the blame for me? Hmph, either wait here or leave."
He thought to himself, ’A mere godling dares to put on airs in the Thunder Department? Do they think I’m a country bumpkin from the four major cities? Which one of the Heavenly Court’s proper gods don’t have dozens or even hundreds of sons? If they all came to disturb, would the Heavenly Court still be able to function?’
The Golden Armored God General glared at the gate with hatred, unable to leave but also not daring to force his way through, so he continued to wait.
"How important the item is, yet it is stopped outside. The bureaucracy of today’s Heavenly Court is truly excessive, with officials idly filling their positions."
Looking at the item in his hand, he then filled with anticipation, "Hmph, when the True Monarch sees this treasure, he will surely be overjoyed. Then, I’ll accuse you all of neglecting your duties."
Thus, he waited for seven days in a row until he finally had the chance to meet with Zi Yang True Monarch.
Gazing up at the deity above, whose visage radiated with purple qi, a detached aura, and haloed with circles of golden light, the Golden Armored God General respectfully lifted the treasure.
Zi Yang True Monarch glanced at it, and instantly the treasure whooshed into the air in front of the True Monarch.
The next moment, Zheng Wentian’s seal instantly shattered, revealing a cup and the vomit within.
Zi Yang True Monarch’s brow twitched slightly, his gaze sweeping over the vomit. It seemed he had fully discerned its material structure and properties.
He turned to the Golden Armored God General and asked, "You... have come to bring me this?"
With hands clenched in a fistful salute, the Golden Armored God General said excitedly, "True Monarch, this object is wondrous. It escapes detection by Primordial Spirit power, unfathomable and unknowable."
Zi Yang True Monarch’s expression was one of intrigue. His Primordial Spirit power swept back and forth across the vomit, but he detected nothing out of the ordinary.
He then spent a full ten seconds reexamining the material composition of the vomit before reaching a conclusion.
"Trash."
The vomit was swept through the air and splattered onto the Golden Armored God General.
The Golden Armored God General was briefly stunned, then activated his Primordial Spirit power to expel all the vomit into the air.
After completing this, his expression changed starkly, and he knelt down abruptly, wanting to explain something.
But he saw Zi Yang True Monarch’s intention take effect in an instant, sealing his physical body, "You can report to the vanguard camp of the Heavenly Army."
The words caused the Golden Armored God General’s complexion to shift, and a strong fear flashed in his eyes.

The Heavenly Army was a force battling against the Heavenly Demons, mainly composed of human cultivators.
And the vanguard camp was the front line of the army, with an exceedingly high casualty rate.
Zi Yang True Monarch, however, paid no heed to the change in the Golden Armored God General’s expression. With a wave of his hand, he swept the Golden Armored God General straight out of the Immortal Palace.
```
The Golden Armored God General felt only a brief lapse of consciousness, and before he knew it, he was kneeling outside the grand gates of the Celestial Palace.
Gazing in the direction of the Celestial Palace, he collapsed to the ground as if all his bones had been withdrawn, his face filled with despair.
Meanwhile, after repelling the intruder, Zi Yang True Monarch turned to a youth beside him and said, "I thought he might bring some news, but it turned out to be such foolishness."
The youth respectfully replied, "Could it be that something has changed in Donghua City?"
Zi Yang True Monarch spoke indifferently, "There is a young man named Zhou Bai who has broken through the 10th layer of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword’s Twilight Taoist Skill. He has a slim chance of learning this Supreme Divine Power."
"Le Zhenzi, go to Donghua City and take a look at what Zhou Bai is made of. As for my unworthy son, just keep indulging him," said Zi Yang True Monarch emotionlessly. "Let him do what he wants, as long as his cultivation progress increases steadily, don’t mind the other things."
Le Zhenzi bowed in assent and then asked, "If this child truly has the potential to learn the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword..."
"Bring him to Heaven," instructed Zi Yang True Monarch, with a flicker of purple light seeming to gleam in his eyes as they opened and closed. "If you cannot bring him, then exterminate him."
"The Three Pure Dao Sect cannot have another person who masters the Absolute Dao Technique. This is not in accord with the heavenly mandate and obstructs the grand scheme. The other regular deities of the Thunder Department think the same."
Le Zhenzi bowed slightly, "Your subordinate understands."
...
That very night, in the training room.
Zhou Bai radiated waves of misty luminescence from his entire body. The force of his Primordial Spirit, both within and outside his body, was so dense that it reached an extreme. Even a slight circulation caused popping and cracking sounds, as if bursting through the air.
Zhou Bai kept inhaling and exhaling the spiritual essence, increasing his Primordial Spirit, but he soon felt his Primordial Spirit had reached a certain limit and no matter how he tried to circulate or gather the spiritual essence, he could not enhance it further.
"Sigh." Zhou Bai finally ceased the process of inhaling and exhaling the spiritual essence. His Primordial Spirit force had reached the second realm’s limit of 2999 and could no longer be increased through cultivation.
"But..."
Zhou Bai glanced at his support panel:
Dao Conversion Rate: 20.0%
Primordial Spirit Value: 2999
Divine Diagram: Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man
Lazy Points: 94,000
"Lazy Points today are just enough to add the seventh star node to Wuqu - Undying, with 4,000 Lazy Points left over," Zhou Bai thought to himself. "Let’s try to break through the limit..."
Boom! Zhou Bai directly added 1000 Lazy Points to his Primordial Spirit Value, instantly breaking through the limit of 2999, reaching 3000 points.
Zhou Bai instantly felt that his once fluid and vigorous Primordial Spirit had become slightly sluggish, but after circulating it briefly, the feeling of sluggishness gradually disappeared.
"Alas, if I had several million Lazy Points, I could try to see what the limit is for adding to the Primordial Spirit Value with Lazy Points."
With a sigh, after saying goodbye to Qian Wangsun and others, he returned to his dormitory, intending to add the seventh star node to Wuqu - Undying today.
But as soon as he returned to his room, he saw Christina lying on the bed with a smug expression, asking him, "How about it, Zhou Bai, do you notice anything different about me today?"
Zhou Bai looked at Christina strangely and said, "Did you gain weight?"
Christina jumped up excitedly, "Where did I gain weight? I’ve just fully regrown my fur, no, that’s not what I wanted to talk about."
She proudly said to Zhou Bai, "I’ll have you know, I’ve now broken through to the second realm."
Zhou Bai exclaimed happily, "Ah? That’s great! Once Elsa also breaks through to the second realm, I can sell the ’Primitive Taoist Treasury’."
"But it’s not just about breaking through," Christina said with pride. "After breaking through, I also remembered many things."
