Chapter 854: Heavenly Palace (Second Update)
Chapter 854: Heavenly Palace (Second Update)
"That won't do. I still want to visit the Heavenly Palace and seek an audience with the Heavenly Deity to continue my training."
Jerry swiftly grabbed Karin and lifted him onto the table.
Karin was taken aback. Despite his considerable strength, he hadn't even noticed Jerry's move, indicating that Jerry's power had significantly increased due to the Godly Elixir.
Regaining his composure, Karin sighed and said:
"The Heavenly Deity isn't easy to meet. Moreover, to see the Heavenly Deity, you need a staff called the Wishstaff. I gave it to your master, Wu Tian, three hundred years ago."
"I know. Karin, could you please ask for me? As for how to get to the Heavenly Palace, I have my own way."
Jerry released the Magic Seal on himself and used the Transformation Spell to conjure a whole vat of catnip.
"This is a small token of my appreciation."
"You're making things difficult for me!"
Karin's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of the large vat of catnip.
"I just want you to ask. If the Heavenly Deity refuses, that's fine."
Jerry knew that Karin had a way to contact the Heavenly Deity, perhaps even through direct telepathy, given their connection within the Divine System.
Karin paced back and forth on the table a few times before finally pulling out a chime and tossing it to Jerry:
"Go ahead. If you can make it to the Heavenly Palace, show this chime. It's my seal of approval. However, whether you can stay and receive guidance from the Heavenly Deity depends on your own abilities."
Normally, even if it were a hundred vats of catnip, Karin, as a sage, would never allow just anyone to enter the Heavenly Palace. It wasn't something to be taken lightly.
However, just as he was about to refuse, a voice from the Heavenly Deity echoed in his mind. The Heavenly Deity had seen everything and was willing to meet this exceptionally powerful young human.
Thus, Karin handed over the chime, the proof needed to enter the Heavenly Palace.
"Thank you very much!"
Jerry took the chime, sprouted a pair of wings from his back, and with a powerful flap, flew straight up toward the top of Karin Tower.
Without the Wishstaff, it was simple—just fly up.
Half an hour later, after flying at full speed, a floating island-like structure appeared before his eyes.
This was the place where the Heavenly Deity, responsible for managing Earth, resided—the Heavenly Palace.
"Hello, I'm Jerry. I would like to meet the Heavenly Deity."
Landing on the Heavenly Palace, Jerry retracted his wings and greeted Popo, who was sitting cross-legged, feeding birds.
Popo, the steward of all the Heavenly Deities who have managed Earth, is of unknown age and has a combat power of 1,030, far surpassing the current old Heavenly Deity, who is only in the 200s.
Of course, the old Heavenly Deity's weakness is mainly due to the fact that, to become the Heavenly Deity, he had to separate his evil side, which significantly reduced his power.
Later, when Piccolo and the Heavenly Deity merged, their combined combat power soared to over 100 million.
Even considering that Piccolo had grown much stronger over the years, it's clear that his power at the time of the Heavenly Deity election wasn't low either.
Jerry had two purposes for visiting the Heavenly Palace:
One was to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Currently, his power wasn't strong enough to extensively manipulate the Time Law, but the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the Heavenly Palace could provide a year of training for every day spent inside.
This place can simulate various extreme environments, alter gravity, and provide food. It's an excellent location for training. However, each person can only use it twice in their lifetime, once for a day, which means they can stay inside for one year at a time. Saving two years of training time is still quite beneficial.
Secondly, training with the Heavenly Deity and Popo is also an option. Popo, though not the strongest, has an extremely high martial arts realm. Goku's later ability to grasp the Perfect Freedom Technique, a powerful technique that only angels can fully master, is closely related to the enlightenment guidance Popo provided in the Heavenly Palace.
The core of the Perfect Freedom Technique is the separation of the body and consciousness, allowing each part of the body to perceive danger instinctively, without the need for the brain to process and react first.
Popo's guidance to Goku, teaching him to attack with the tranquility of the sky and the speed of lightning, is very similar to the key points of the Perfect Freedom Technique.
"Hello, I am Popo, the Heavenly Deity's butler. Did you bring Karin's proof?"
Popo stood up and approached Jerry.
Jerry took out the chime Karin had given him and handed it over. Popo inspected it and replied, "Yes, this is indeed Karin's chime. You are someone Karin recognizes and have the right to meet the Heavenly Deity. However, before meeting the Heavenly Deity, you need to pass a test."
"What kind of test?"
Jerry smiled.
Popo folded the blanket behind him and led Jerry to the center. "Defeat me, and you will meet the Heavenly Deity."
"Then I'll have to try my best!"
It was a good opportunity for Jerry to gauge his full strength after drinking the Godly Elixir and removing his weighted clothing.
With a powerful burst of energy from his legs, his body left a trail of afterimages and appeared at Popo's left side, delivering a full-power punch.
Popo reached out to intercept Jerry's punch, and his body was forced to step back several steps.
"So strong!"
He had received a notification from the Heavenly Deity about a human boy who would be coming up and asked him to test the boy's strength. But he didn't expect the boy to be so powerful.
Jerry was equally surprised to see that Popo had managed to intercept his punch.
He was certain that his physical combat strength after drinking the Godly Elixir had surpassed a thousand, making him stronger than Popo at that moment.
Goku, after training in the Heavenly Palace, had a combat strength of over two hundred and could fight normally while wearing a hundred-kilogram weighted suit. By the time he climbed Karin Tower, he could fight normally while wearing a six-hundred-kilogram weighted suit. Now, after drinking the Godly Elixir and unlocking his potential, his physical strength had increased several times.
However, it was clear that Popo had anticipated his move and intercepted it easily, only stepping back a few steps due to the force.
"Again!"
Jerry's body erupted with energy, his strength and speed increasing as he launched a fierce attack on Popo.
Popo, now taking Jerry seriously, released the energy he had been hiding and engaged in a fierce battle with Jerry in the Heavenly Palace. However, he only defended, continuously blocking Jerry's attacks, seemingly testing the limits of Jerry's strength.
"Indeed, you are formidable!"
Combining his experience from battles with various human martial arts masters over the past six months and his powerful body, he found it impossible to break through Popo's defenses. He could only force Popo back but not defeat him.
