The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Twelve palace maids led Tang Yue and Xiao Xi to the residence of the candidates for the Holy Maiden - the Palace of Selection.

The palace maids all wore iron chains on their legs to restrict their movements, which made jingling sounds when they walked.

After a while, they arrived at an ice palace, and a bone-chilling chill crept up their skin.

Tang Yue used spiritual energy to protect her body and resist the cold.

Xiao Xi was wearing thin clothes and kept rubbing her arms with her hands. It was obvious that she didn't know how to use spiritual energy to protect her body, and she had no other way.

The palace maids turned a blind eye and just walked on indifferently.

Tang Yue couldn't bear it any longer and took the initiative to say, "Sister Xiaoxi, are you cold? I can help you..."

"This is a solemn palace. Don't speak carelessly. It's disrespectful. If you want to become a saint, you must learn to endure this kind of cold.

When our spiritual power reaches a higher level, we will naturally not be afraid of the cold and will not need those strange tricks. "

Okay, she is meddling.

Not only did he get rejected in return, but the spiritual power he had cultivated over the years had also turned into some strange and cunning tricks.

She should just study the strange ice palace in front of her.

There was clearly magma outside the cave, and the civilian residence outside the palace was extremely hot.

A world of ice and snow was created here using various methods.

The walls and even the vaulted ceiling of the palace were all carved from thick cold jade, and the ground was covered with thick snow.

They walked on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was a bit slow for them to walk.

Embedded on the wall are ice sculptures, crystal clear, with extremely bright pearls behind them, emitting cold light through the ice sculptures.

The most outrageous thing was that there was flying snow falling from above.

Tang Yue couldn't help but ask the leading maid, "Where did the flying snow come from?"

It was impossible to keep her silent.

The leading maid nodded and replied, "It was laid by the craftsmen using their spiritual power."

It seems that here, mental power can be deployed just like using spiritual power formations.

"Miss, can you tell me how to use mental power to create snowflakes? I like these snowflakes very much." Tang Yue smiled and tried to get close to her.

"I've already told you that you can learn all of this through spiritual training. Now be quiet and stop talking so much."

Xiaoxi was angry. She had no good intentions towards Tang Yue, but she was bringing shame to the Tang family.

The maid said, "Don't blame Xi for choosing a girl. One of our duties is to answer the questions asked by the girl selectors and try our best to meet your requirements."

Because the names of the candidates for sainthood are too long, they are called "chosen women".

The palace maid stopped and looked up. After a while, a silver-white line appeared above, and the light was flowing dimly.

Snowflakes emerged from it and fell down.

The maid said, "This was painted by the high priest. It is of a very high grade. Not only are the patterns silvery white, but they can also be hidden on ordinary days."

The maid lowered her head and turned around, looking at the front of Tang Yue, black lines emerged and turned into a blue flower, "People like us who are of low level cannot be called spiritualists. The spiritual lines we use are black and cannot be hidden.

Only those with colors other than black can be called spiritualists. The better looking the color of the spiritual lines, the higher the level. You will know the details when you start practicing. "

Tang Yue raised her hand and caught the flower. "It's so beautiful. Thank you for your explanation, sister."

She could sense the fluctuations of the palace maid's spiritual power, and the direction was very precise.

The leading palace maid had an indifferent expression. "You are too polite to call me sister. Let's go. Your room is in front." Xiao Xi glared at their backs. Tang Yue actually fawned over these lowly female slaves and made Xiao Xi lose face.

Walking into the corridor on the left side of the main hall, there is a row of rooms carved out of ice with double ice doors.

An ice lotus is carved on each ice door, with layered petals that look lifelike.

The maid said, "This is the room for the selected ladies. The swords in the palace are made of ice and snow, symbolizing the pure and innocent character of the selected ladies.

There is a most important rule here, the selected women must not have private contact with men in the tribe, they must be chaste and can only meet men outside the tribe under the arrangement of the king and the priests. "

Tang Yue then realized the reason why this palace was built so cold. It was to remind the contestants not to associate with the women in their clan.

She was very disdainful of this move. If a girl was chosen to become the Emperor's Mother, she would have to give birth to children. How could she be "chaste"?

The poor environment for women in the underground world made her very uncomfortable.

There are so many female slaves in the palace. The emperor's mother said they were the emperor's, but it sounded like they were tools specifically for giving birth to children.

"You two contestants, please rest for a while first. I will come back in the evening to take you to the sacrificial hall for dinner. We will be guarding outside the room. If you need anything, just call us."

Tang Yue nodded and asked, "Then the sisters are standing in the corridor?"

The leader of the selection said, "We will be waiting in the small house opposite your house."

Only then did Tang Yue discover that there were two relatively large doors and several small doors opposite them.

Xiao Xi snorted coldly, opened the door of the first room, and closed the door heavily after entering.

Six palace maids walked out and entered the small room opposite the door.

Tang Yue thought for a moment and said to the maid, "Sister, I'm new here and don't know anything. Please come in and tell me about what's going on here."

The head maid, who always had no expression on her face, hesitated at this moment. "The maids will tell you about what happened here, and Xi Xuannv came from Tangjia Village with you, so she should be able to tell you about these things."

She took the maid's arm and opened the door, "Sister, look at Xi Xuannu's attitude towards me, will she explain what's going on here to me?

The maids are strict, I dare not say much to them, so I'd better ask my sister to talk to me first to reassure me."

As she pulled the maid in, she asked, "Sister, what's your name?"

"Your servant Weizhi."

The two sat down at the eight-immortal table, and Tang Yue said, "Sister Wei, I think this place is very strange. There are very few women on the street, and they all have their faces covered, walk with their heads down, and wear chains on their feet like my sister."

Weizhi said: "Tang Xuannu comes from the earth, which is completely different from us. It is normal to feel strange. In our tribe, there are fewer women than men, and they are not free. They are all slaves of men.

It is very taboo in the underground world for men and women of the same tribe to get close to each other, so women outside must wear a veil and are not allowed to take it off for the rest of their lives.

The palace is different from the outside world, there are fewer men, and they don’t have to wear veils.”

Tang Yue widened her eyes, finding it hard to accept. The men and women here should be brothers and sisters from the same mother.

But brothers enslaved their sisters and imposed many physical restrictions on women to prevent incest.

"Sister Wei, isn't the Empress Mother the only one in the clan who can give birth to children?" She really couldn't understand the reproductive system of the underground people.

Weizhi understood what she wanted to ask and said hesitantly, "Our women can give birth to children, but the children they give birth to have low mental strength and a short lifespan, and they will not live past the age of five.

Only the Empress Mother can give birth to a celestial being with strong spiritual power and long lifespan.

I once heard the king say that when we were in heaven, women like us would be sent to other tribes to become saints and compete for the title of Emperor Mother, in exchange for women from other tribes.”

The world is really big and full of wonders.

"Sister Wei, can you tell me a little bit about the origins of the celestial beings?" (End of this chapter)
