What Jiujiu said was hard for everyone to believe, and they were extremely shocked.
However, Jiujiu's status is unparalleled.
Among all the people present, she was the only one qualified to say those words, and only she understood God Lord Taihao!
After all, she is the noble princess of the Kingdom of God, the daughter of the Lord God!
She determined that the great changes in the world were not the wrath of the God Lord, so it must not be the case!
Just when everyone was stunned, Jiujiu announced in a majestic tone: "Father God has always been wise and holy, and loves and cherishes talents. This is known to all the people of the Kingdom of God!
The punishment result of the Great Protector is somewhat unkind and inconsistent with the name of Father God’s benevolence.
Therefore, I now announce that Ji Tianxing will be reinstated as a divine disciple candidate and will instead punish him with cleaning the Divine Book Pavilion for half a year. This is a small punishment but a big warning..."
Upon hearing this result, the expressions of the Great Protector and several divine envoys changed drastically. They looked at Jiujiu with wide eyes, feeling unbelievable and unable to understand.
Everyone was extremely confused and secretly exclaimed: "How could His Highness make such a judgment? Isn't this too... unreasonable?"
"Changing the punishment to Ji Tianxing to clean the Shen Shu Pavilion? Isn't this an explicit punishment and a hidden reward?"
"The Shen Shu Pavilion is the top-secret place of Haotian Tower, which contains endless ancient books, Taoist scriptures and mysterious techniques.
Not to mention ordinary divine disciples, even us divine envoys only have the opportunity to enter once or twice a year!
Your Highness actually asked Ji Tianxing to clean the Divine Book Pavilion? Isn’t this a great gift and reward?"
"His Highness must have a deeper meaning in making such a decision! How virtuous and capable is this Ji Tianxing that he actually gets the protection and appreciation of His Highness?"
Not only did the Great Protector and several divine masters have complicated expressions, their hearts were filled with shock and doubt.
There are also several young geniuses who have heard about the Divine Book Pavilion in Haotian Tower and know that it is a sacred book collection place that is coveted by the powerful men of the six countries.
These geniuses are Qin Cangqiong, Jiang Ningxue, Song Zhanyu and others.
They all frowned in confusion and looked at Ji Tianxing with burning eyes, very wary of him.
They all knew very well that Ji Tianxing must have something extraordinary to cause such a big disturbance and get the protection of the little princess.
On the surface, it seemed that sending Ji Tianxing to the Shen Shu Pavilion for cleaning was the punishment given to him by the little princess.
But actually, this is a huge benefit!
All kinds of ancient books and classics in the Shen Shu Pavilion, as well as all kinds of magical skills and techniques, are all available for Ji Tianxing to read and watch.
Even if a few geniuses were asked to clean the Shen Shu Pavilion, they would still get it!
The Great Protector frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his hands and said to Jiujiu: "Your Highness, you are too kind to punish Ji Tianxing like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiujiu waved his hand and said with a majestic expression: "I have made up my mind. I will implement it immediately without any mistakes!"
Everything the Great Protector didn't say was blocked back.
He could only bow respectfully and say yes.
Afterwards, the golden-armored guards carried the throne and left the square.
Several divine envoys also led the geniuses from all over the world to leave the square and return to their residences.
The Great Protector glanced at Ji Tianxing with a complicated expression before ordering the guards to escort Ji Tianxing to the Shen Shu Pavilion.
…
Two golden-armored guards, one on the left and one on the right, escorted Ji Tianxing towards Haotian Tower.
The Shen Shu Pavilion is located on the top floor of the Haotian Tower. It is heavily defended and equipped with a true god-level magic circle.
Even if a powerful Martial Saint comes, it is impossible to force his way into the Shen Shu Pavilion.
When Ji Tianxing and the others walked to the Haotian Tower and were about to enter the wide and solemn gate, a group of golden-armored guards came to the gate of the Haotian Tower carrying a throne.
Sitting on the half-moon-shaped throne is a little girl carved in pink and jade, none other than Jiujiu.
Ji Tianxing and the other three stopped, and the two golden-armored guards quickly knelt down and saluted Jiujiu.
Jiujiu waved his hand, signaling the two guards to step aside temporarily.
She looked at Ji Tianxing with complicated eyes, and warned in a calm tone: "Tianxing, I can only help you up to this point.
I know that the divine disciple examination in half a year is very important to you.
During these six months, you can stay in the Shen Shu Pavilion and practice hard."
Of course Ji Tianxing knew that punishing him to clean the Shen Shu Pavilion in Jiujiu was a special care for him.
He nodded to Jiujiu and said in a sincere tone: "Jiujiu, thank you for helping me so much."
Jiujiu was still a little worried and warned again: "Tianxing, something like this happened in Haotian Tower, I must go back to the Kingdom of God to resolve the matter.
The Great Protector is a fair, strict, and even somewhat inhumane guy.
After I leave, it may take several months before I can come back.
In the past six months, you should try not to go out and stay in the Shen Shu Pavilion so as not to conflict with the Great Protector again."
Ji Tianxing nodded calmly and said nothing more.
Only he himself knows the truth of the matter.
He had reprimanded the Great Protector in public before, and he didn't want to defend himself at this moment.
Afterwards, Jiujiu said goodbye to him and left on the throne.
Two golden-armored guards led Ji Tianxing into the Haotian Tower.
The sacred and majestic Haotian Tower is also very solemn inside, with vast and magnificent halls.
On weekdays, the gate of Haotian Tower is always closed and rarely opens.
All the disciples and candidates cannot enter without orders and permission.
The first and second floors of the tower are both wide and bright halls, surrounded by rows of black stone doors.
Each stone door is tightly closed, with mysterious formations and various special patterns carved on it.
There are different names written on the lintel, such as 'Xiao Lingtian', 'Yu Jinghai', 'Lava World', 'Ancient Desert' and so on.
Ji Tianxing took a cursory glance and felt confused, so he secretly speculated: "Could it be that behind those stone doors are secret rooms with various environments?
Or maybe there are passages inside each stone door, leading to different alien spaces?"
A quarter of an hour later, two golden-armored guards took him to the fifth floor of Haotian Tower.
The fifth and sixth floors of the pagoda are the sacred Shenshu Pavilion, which contains tens of millions of ancient books, classics and magical secrets.
Two golden-armored guards handed Ji Tianxing to a white-haired old woman wearing a black robe, explained the situation and left.
This old woman in black robe looks like she has gray hair, her body is as thin as a bamboo pole, and her skin is as dry as tree bark.
She was completely shrunk in her black robe, only revealing a pair of greenish turbid eyes, which looked a bit gloomy and strange.
However, Ji Tianxing could sense that the old woman's aura was powerful and mysterious, and she was a strong person in the Martial Saint realm.
The old woman is the elder who guards Shenshu Pavilion, and is also the second guardian of Haotian Tower. Her status is equivalent to that of the great guardian.
When she learned that Ji Tianxing was punished by Jiujiu to clean up the Shen Shu Pavilion, a flash of light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
She arranged a secret room for Ji Tianxing to live in and let him settle down there.
Then, she personally explained the information about Shenshu Pavilion to Ji Tianxing and explained what Ji Tianxing wanted to do.
