…

“Child, you excel in many things, but you’ve been just as stubborn from childhood to adulthood.” Ling Mother sighed. “True Monarch Profound Pill is an enigmatic figure in the history of the Immortal Dynasty, yet at the height of his brilliance, he mysteriously vanished. Even His Majesty, Immortal Emperor Guangming, devoted his entire life and was unable to locate him.”

Immortal Emperor Guangming was the third emperor of the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty, posthumously titled “Virtuous and Martial Guangming,” and thus often referred to as “Immortal Emperor Guangming” by later generations. True Monarch Profound Pill acted as the Princess Mansion Head when she was still a Commandery Princess.

“Historical accounts are adamant that True Monarch Profound Pill must have ventured into an alien realm, where he perished. Daher, Luo Jia, you mustn’t bear too much hope.”

Ling Mother understood Luo Jia’s temperament, fearing that heightened hope would only lead to greater disappointment, potentially shattering her faith entirely.

“That is not so.” Princess Luo Jia gently shook her head. “I have meticulously studied the history of True Monarch Profound Pill. His legendary life fills me with immense admiration. He devoted his entire life to guarding Princess Muyue. I believe his ultimate disappearance must certainly be related to ‘guardianship.’”

“Muyue” was Immortal Emperor Guangming’s title as a princess.

“His disappearance was abrupt and resolute. After ascending the throne, Immortal Emperor Guangming spent his entire lifetime searching for his whereabouts, yet no clues were ever uncovered. Therefore, I speculate that his ‘disappearance’ must have been a meticulously planned act and not a mere accident.”

Princess Luo Jia gazed wistfully through the window at the increasingly dense fog over the ocean, murmuring, “If there were an opportunity to ask the Artifact Spirit of Profound Pill what truly transpired back then, what harm would it be even if I couldn’t inherit the Codex?”

Her initial research into the history of True Monarch Profound Pill began entirely by coincidence, when she stumbled upon faint clues, leading her to suspect that True Monarch Profound Pill had perished in the Cluster Reef Ghost Sea. She hoped to uncover the key to deciphering the ruins from history.

But unexpectedly,

as her research deepened, she gradually came to understand the exceptional and extraordinary nature of True Monarch Profound Pill, filling her with heartfelt awe. The story of his mutual support and shared growth with Immortal Emperor Guangming deeply moved her as well.

The disappearance of True Monarch Profound Pill remains one of the most famous mysteries in the history of the Immortal Dynasty.

As they spoke, the flying carriage rapidly approached the entrance to the ruins.

On a fishing boat, Jiang Qingsnow, who had been sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in contemplation, suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze, sharp as lightning, shot toward the sky.

“Who goes there?!”

With a thunderous roar, a chilling and murderous pressure surged from her body. It swept outward, instantly enveloping the entire surrounding sea as if asserting dominion.

The two Level Seven Azure Luans pulling the carriage shrieked in fright, flapping their wings furiously as they froze mid-air, utterly refusing to move forward.

The elderly driver barely managed to control the Azure Luans, his face pale as a sheet. “A Divine Realm Powerhouse!”

“How can there be a Divine Realm Powerhouse here?!” Inside the flying carriage, the white-haired Ling Mother, about to speak, felt her complexion shift. A sudden unease gripped her. “Could it be that someone else has beaten us to the ruins?”

“I hadn’t expected that aside from myself, someone else would also set their sights on the Profound Pills Codex.” Duchess of Luo Jia’s expression darkened.

“Duchess, allow me to hold her off. You must immediately find a way to enter the ruins. There might still be time.” Ling Mother’s expression grew grave.

“Very well, I’ll leave that to you,” Duchess Luo Jia nodded without hesitation, refraining from unnecessary words.

Given the circumstances, there was no room for delay.

As Duchess Luo Jia nodded, Ling Mother retrieved a massive iron staff from her Storage Ring and, pulling back the carriage curtain, leaped outside.

Even while in mid-air, a terrifying aura burst forth from her. She swung the iron staff in her hand, striking downward with immense force.

“Enough talk—take this strike from me!”

The dark iron staff seemed to draw the momentum of heaven and earth. Though it was a simple strike, the emitted force was utterly horrifying.

Even the sea below could not withstand the pressure, sinking deeply under the oppressive aura.

“Old hag, do you think I fear you?”

Jiang Qingsnow sneered, a ruthless gleam flashing in her eyes.

Back when she was still the Chi Mei Demon Master, she was already notoriously fierce. Even now, though somewhat reined in, her aggression was far from subdued.

Seeing the old woman attack without a word, Jiang Qingsnow immediately saw through her hostile intent and had no reason to hold back.

In a flash, her figure disappeared from the fishing boat.

At the same moment, a hoarse roar reverberated through the misty sky as a massive serpentine shadow materialized amidst the fog.

It was an enormous, pitch-black serpent. A thick, sharp horn protruded from its gigantic head, while vivid red patterns sprawled across its black spine, a stark contrast that appeared both sinister and bewitching.

This black serpent was none other than Jiang Qingsnow’s Dharma Shadow.

As soon as the Dharma Shadow emerged, Jiang Qingsnow reappeared amidst the endless mist.

Dressed in a black and crimson gown that fluttered in the wind, she resembled a blooming black and crimson peony, exuding an aura of strength and ferocity.

With a single wave of her hand, immense Divine Power merged with the Dharma Shadow behind her, colliding directly with the descending iron staff.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Amid deafening explosions, devastating shock waves swept outward, dispersing the surrounding fog in an instant. The overwhelming pressure spread across the sea, consuming the space in every direction.
