Join the ServerAs Xian Yuan’s records detailed, this ice-attributed spirit wood was destined to incite countless bloody conflicts in the future.
Xian Yuan and Murong Fier, meanwhile, delved deeper into the ice forest, leaving the other disciples of Heavenly Gate Island in a far less enviable position, as Xian Yuan’s actions had diverted the animosity of many cultivators directly towards them.

In a secret realm, within a sprawling sea of flowers, Ye Zhiqu sat quietly with closed eyes, enveloped by the intoxicating fragrance and a scene of serene beauty.
She strove to maintain a steady breath, yet her body trembled uncontrollably.
Spiritual energy from heaven and earth pulsed around her like a living entity; despite her strenuous efforts to suppress it, the energy relentlessly surged into her.
Ye Zhiqu’s heart pounded with urgency, for she knew that once her aura broke through, it would become unstable, allowing Lu Buchun to easily pinpoint her location through its fluctuations.
She had to find a way to stabilize her aura swiftly, or the consequences would be dire.
Suddenly, a faint tremor rippled through her, prompting Ye Zhiqu to open her eyes and sense the shifting spiritual energy within her.
A realization dawned upon her; this might just be her opportunity.
She resolved to seize this moment of fluctuation, utilizing her unstable aura to push through to a breakthrough.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhiqu channeled her inner spiritual power, focusing intently on guiding the restless influx of energy.
She felt her spiritual power surge like a mighty tide within her, and with unwavering resolve, she decided to exert herself, attempting to break through to a higher realm.
Within the sea of flowers, a scorching light abruptly erupted, blazing like a meteor streaking across the night sky, dazzling and brilliant.
Ye Zhiqu’s form flickered in and out of sight amidst the radiance, her aura surging forth like a mountain flood, sweeping across the surroundings.
Suddenly, a figure materialized at the edge of the flower sea; it was Lu Buchun.
His cold gaze fixed upon Ye Zhiqu bathed in light, a sneer twisting his lips.
“You wretched woman, I’ve finally found you.”
Lu Buchun’s voice was cold and sinister, yet it lacked a certain gravitas, sounding almost effeminate.
‘[Why must he appear precisely when I’m on the verge of a breakthrough?]’
Ye Zhiqu felt utterly exasperated, thinking, ‘It was Senior Sister Xian Meng who severed your root of trouble, so why are you looking for me? Are you insane?’
Unlike Ye Zhiqu’s exasperation, Lu Buchun harbored only one thought: he yearned to dismember the woman before him, transforming her into a human pig to quell the hatred festering in his heart.

Outside, watching Ye Zhiqu and Lu Buchun on the large screen, both Heavenly Chosen Palace Master Tianxuan Ji and Shen Xiulan displayed grave expressions.
Neither Ye Zhiqu nor Lu Buchun held low statuses; Ye Zhiqu was a disciple of Heavenly Gate Island’s Grand Elder Yu Xu Zi, while Lu Buchun was the grandson of Heavenly Chosen Palace’s Grand Elder Lu Dong and the Heavenly Chosen Saint Son.
Should either of them suffer an accident, the two sects would be plunged into an unending feud.
Tianxuan Ji was the first to speak.
“Island Master Shen, how about we agree that life and death within the secret realm are decided by fate?”
“Agreed.”
Shen Xiulan glanced at Tianxuan Ji, realizing they shared the same thought.
Conflict within the secret realm was inevitable, so if one of them perished, it could be attributed to the struggle for resources within the realm, preventing an internal conflict between the two sects and, more importantly, stopping the three major families from profiting from their discord.
However, Shen Xiulan’s thoughts ran deeper.
Though Murong Yuntian seemed unconcerned about his granddaughter’s predicament, did he truly not care?
Xian Yuan’s displayed double pupils and divine physique had already made the three major families sense a looming threat.
Could Murong Yuntian’s request for Xian Yuan to apologize be a ploy to bring her into the Murong Family?
All these possibilities were currently in play.

Back in the secret realm, Ye Zhiqu felt the surge of spiritual power within her; a breakthrough was imminent.
Yet, the situation forced her into a difficult choice: inaction meant death, but acting would risk spiritual power chaos, potentially damaging her spiritual root.
However, Lu Buchun offered Ye Zhiqu no time to deliberate, launching a fierce assault.
‘Is it just death, then? Fine, I’ll fight! Do you really think this old lady is afraid of you, you incompetent fool!’
Ye Zhiqu’s figure flickered, gathering spiritual energy in her left hand, which she then fiercely unleashed towards Lu Buchun.
A thunderous crash echoed as the two forces collided violently, stirring up a gale.
Ye Zhiqu’s fist and Lu Buchun’s sword qi intertwined, causing the very air to tremble intensely.
Lu Buchun’s expression shifted, stunned by Ye Zhiqu’s ability to block his attack.
A flicker of determination ignited in Ye Zhiqu’s eyes as she resolved to launch a full counter-attack.
Spiritual energy surged within her body, transforming into a brilliant light.
Her form darted like lightning, swiftly evading Lu Buchun’s attacks as she sought an opening.
Enraged, Lu Buchun wielded his black longsword with even greater frenzy, his sword qi exceptionally sharp, as if intent on cleaving Ye Zhiqu into a thousand pieces.
Ye Zhiqu faced him with unwavering focus, knowing this battle would determine her life or death.
She resolutely decided to go all out, engaging Lu Buchun in a desperate fight for survival.
In the sea of flowers, two figures intertwined, sword light flashing and fist shadows dancing, as a heart-stopping decisive battle unfolded.
“Do you truly believe a mere True Immortal Fifth Layer like you can kill me?” Lu Buchun sneered, gripping his black sword as his aura surged dramatically.
Wave after wave of Nine Nether Ghost Sword Art manifested, swirling around him like dark specters, forming countless sharp sword qi.
Facing Lu Buchun’s frantic assault, Ye Zhiqu showed no trace of fear, continuously channeling her spiritual energy to reinforce her physical body.
She dared not directly withstand Lu Buchun’s sword qi attacks, as those sharp blades were capable of piercing through her flesh.
Suddenly, seizing an opportunity, she struck out with a palm towards Lu Buchun’s chest, her right hand already glowing with spiritual light.
A dull thud resonated as Ye Zhiqu’s palm struck Lu Buchun’s chest, delivering a heavy blow that forced him back several steps.
“You little hussy, you still have some…”
Before Lu Buchun could finish his sentence, Ye Zhiqu’s surging spiritual power attacked once more.
‘Don’t you know villains die from talking too much?’
Ye Zhiqu activated the second layer of the Record of All Beings Returning to Nothingness, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within her body, then mercilessly slammed it into Lu Buchun’s face.
“Ah!” A shrill shriek pierced the air as Lu Buchun’s nasal bridge shattered, blood gushing forth like a spring, staining his robes crimson.
Clutching his bloodied nose, Lu Buchun’s face contorted with pain and fury, and he roared, “You detestable wretch, I’ll kill you!”
He raised his sword, intending to charge at Ye Zhiqu, but a sudden chill enveloped his entire body, and his soul felt as if it were about to flee his form.
It turned out that Ye Zhiqu’s earlier punch had not only shattered his nasal bridge but had also severely wounded his soul.
“What kind of bizarre attack is this?!” Lu Buchun agonizingly pondered, his combat power plummeting drastically due to his soul injury.
Ye Zhiqu seized the moment, her figure blurring into a phantom, instantly appearing before Lu Buchun, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
The most powerful divine ability of the Record of All Beings Returning to Nothingness: Transformation into Feathers, Return to Dust!
Ye Zhiqu’s palm radiated brilliant golden spiritual energy, dazzling and beautiful like the sun itself.
The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to find its kindred spirit, surging madly towards Ye Zhiqu’s palm, as if welcoming a beloved kin.
