Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, “No matter what, I still have to thank Your Majesty for your help. If it weren’t for you, this junior might really be in danger.”


    Even if it wasn’t dangerous, at least Ye Qingxin’s wisp of consciousness from the Heavenly Court would probably not be able to be preserved.


    The Demon Empress smiled charmingly and looked at him. “You don’t have to thank me. The one who should say thank you is me.”


    Mu Zhian’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, not understanding what she meant.


    “If it weren’t for you, Shang Yanfei probably wouldn’t have let me devour the essence of the Primordial Demon Emperor,” the Demon Empress said quietly.


    But the tone gradually turned cold.


    No one knew what Shang Yanfei had been doing or what she wanted to do for the past ten thousand years… But since she awakened her past life memories, the Demon Empress had thought of many things.


    The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shang Yanfei was unfathomable.


    In order to let herself enter seclusion, she did not hesitate to give her the essence of the Primordial Demon Emperor, giving her the possibility of breaking through the Dao Integration Realm… Should she say that Shang Yanfei was confident enough in her own strength, or that she had made a bad move?


    Based on her understanding of Shang Yanfei, that Sect Master who had lived for countless years had never made any mistakes.


    “It’s really unpleasant.”


    The Demon Empress narrowed her eyes, and her red eyes flickered.


    Then, as if thinking of something, her gaze turned to Mu Zhi’an with a smile.


    Although this beauty’s every frown and smile were beautiful and soul-stirring, at this moment, Mu Zhi’an felt a chill in his heart and coughed lightly, changing the subject, “Speaking of which, Your Majesty, do you know the owner of this abyss palace?”


    The Demon Empress was indeed attracted by his topic, and she elegantly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “I don’t know who the owner of the abyss palace is, but the coffin used to contain the first Immortal in the early days of Chaos who reached the Immortal Ascension Realm.”


    The Dao Integration Realm was the fusion of one of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Human, becoming a part of the world.


    Above Dao Integration was the threshold of ‘Immortal’, which was Transcendence.


    So far, no one in the Nine Provinces had transcended. The main reason was not only the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth.


    More importantly, Dao Integration was already the limit. Even if it was the Heavenly Dao, it could not do anything to a Dao Integration expert. If they broke through again, they would surpass the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Human and resonate with the Great Dao.


    “Actually, there were rumors that in the past, a Dao Integration expert broke through the limit and stepped into Transcendence, but they disappeared without a trace,” the Demon Empress said.


    A Dao Integration expert disappeared without a trace. Who could abduct a Dao Integration expert…? Mu Zhi’an used his complaints to cover up the shock in his heart. “People often say that to transcend is to become an immortal… Could it be that they ascended to the Heavenly Court?”


    “There are no Transcendent cultivators in the Heavenly Court either.”


    Ye Qingxin’s voice came from within Mu Zhi’an’s body. “To this day, the only cultivator I know of who is suspected of being a Transcendent is the Lord of the Heavenly Court.”


    After the three of them chatted for a while, the Demon Empress suddenly said casually, “In three days, I will enter a period of seclusion. After that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you again.” Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Mu Zhi’an came back to his senses and respectfully said, “Although Your Majesty is in seclusion, with the Thirteen Seats of the Demon Realm here, the Demon Realm will surely flourish.”


    “I’m not worried about the Demon Realm.”


    The Demon Empress was silent for a moment, then casually glanced at him. “If I said that I hope you can come with me to the Demon Realm, what would you say?”


    The First Seat beside her raised her eyebrows, as if she had thought of some bad scene, and silently turned her face away.


    Mu Zhi’an hesitated for a moment, then tactfully refused, “The Demon Realm doesn’t lack a junior like me. But if I stay in the Two Polarities Sect, once there is any important news in the sect, I can also report to the Demon Realm immediately.”


    This was a reasonable statement, but the Demon Empress was clearly not very satisfied.


    But she didn’t force him. Instead, she continued, “There should be other inheritances in the abyss palace. Do you plan to leave with me now, or do you want to stay here?”


    Mu Zhi’an pondered for a moment. “I am still an Eastern Continent cultivator in name. If I leave with you, the news might spread to the outside world.”


    The Demon Empress nodded slightly. “In that case, you can leave on your own after this. If you have any other matters, you can contact me through that copper mirror.”


    “But there are only three days left… In three days, I will be in seclusion.”


    When she said the last part, she spoke softly, “Of course, before that, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with.”


    For some reason, when Mu Zhi’an heard these words, he felt a little uneasy, but he couldn’t put his finger on why.


    Seeing that the Demon Empress had already turned to leave, the First Seat bowed respectfully towards Mu Zhi’an and gave him a strange look.


    That look was like looking at some kind of rare creature… Mu Zhi’an smiled politely at her, always feeling that her eyes were a bit strange.


    But he didn’t think much about it. After all, there were more important things to deal with.


    The inheritance in the abyss palace should be more than just that drop of blood.


    …


    “Your Majesty, didn’t you plan to bring Young Master Mu back to the Demon Realm? Why did you leave him there instead?”


    The First Seat turned into a streak of light and caught up with the Demon Empress, looking at the charming beauty and finally couldn’t help but ask.


    “I wanted to, but there might be some things that happen after I enter seclusion. It’s safer for him to stay by my side. But since he’s not willing, there’s no need to force it,” the Demon Empress said softly.


    The First Seat suddenly said, “Then does Your Majesty plan to return to the Demon Realm now?”


    “Of course, it’s time to prepare for the refinement of the Primordial Demon Emperor’s essence.”


    The Demon Empress licked her red lips and raised her bright red eyes, gazing faintly at the direction of the Two Polarities Sect.


    “But before that, I still have something to ask our dear Sect Master.”


    “Of course, I won’t go directly to the Two Polarities Sect… After all, in the Two Polarities Sect, even if we are both Dao Integration experts, no one is that woman’s opponent.”


    “So we have to change our methods.”


    The ground of the borderlands faintly trembled!


    …


    The abyss fell silent again. Mu Zhi’an turned and walked towards the ancient and mysterious coffin in front of the palace.


    “Be careful, this coffin is a bit mysterious. Although the blood essence has been absorbed by you, there may be other dangers,” Ye Qingxin reminded him in his mind.


    Mu Zhi’an nodded slightly.


    “By the way, Senior, since you are in my Innate Celestial Furnace, do you have any special feelings about that drop of blood essence?” he suddenly asked.


    Ye Qingxin shook her head. “I have already scanned that drop of blood essence with my spiritual sense before, but I can’t see through it.”


    Just a drop of blood had such terrifying power. He didn’t know what kind of strength the person in the coffin had… Perhaps it was really left behind by the Immortal of the Immortal Realm?


    Mu Zhi’an felt a bit of emotion in his heart and at the same time confirmed whether there were any other inheritances left in the palace.


    Soon, he found a medicinal herb in the corner of the palace.


    “It formed a Emperor-grade medicinal herb naturally without any cultivation… This is rare,” Ye Qingxin said in surprise.


    “Sure enough, there are no ordinary things in the abyss palace. Things that seem inconspicuous may be great opportunities,” Mu Zhi’an couldn’t help but sigh.


    He put away the Emperor-grade medicinal herb, and then hesitated, “Senior Ye, do you not blame me?”


    “If you’re talking about Ye Yu, then I don’t blame you… This is the hatred he caused himself out of jealousy,” Ye Qingxin said in a calm tone.


    “But it’s meaningless to talk about this now,” she said softly.


    Mu Zhian was silent.


    However, he still felt a lingering sense of unease.


    If the Demon Empress wasn’t lying, where did the Heavenly Dao Energy go after Ye Yu died?


    And his luck value hadn’t changed at all after Ye Yu’s death.


    If Ye Yu was really dead, his luck value shouldn’t still be at ’95’.


    Boom!


    As Mu Zhian was thinking about this, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the abyss palace, completely shattering Mu Zhian’s thoughts.


    Then, a seductive voice that seemed to resonate with the Great Dao resounded throughout the Eastern Continent.


    “Shang Yanfei, you schemed against me. Do you have anything to say?”


    The usually peaceful Two Polarities Sect shook violently at this moment, and the ground cracked.


    Almost at that moment, all the powerful beings in the Nine Provinces were awakened. Some old monsters who were in closed-door cultivation in their caves suddenly opened their eyes, initially furious beyond measure, but then, after rushing out of their caves and realizing who had spoken, their anger subsided, and they fell silent, turning into a heartfelt fear.


    At this moment, in the Two Polarities Peak, Lan Mulian was playing chess with her master.


    She also heard that voice and subconsciously looked at the woman in front of her.


    “Master…”


    It had to be said that this was indeed a peerless beauty. Mu Zhian had seen her several times before. Every time he saw her, he would forget Shang Yanfei’s appearance, but he always had an amazing impression of her beauty.


    “Don’t worry, let’s continue playing chess.”


    Shang Yanfei tapped her finger on the table, as if she was thinking seriously.


    Sensing the rare concern in her noble and cold disciple’s eyes, she raised her finger and changed the position of a chess piece.


    Hmm… This should be enough to win.


    However, at this moment, with the shaking of the ground, the chessboard on the Two Polarities Peak shook slightly, and the chess pieces fell.


    In the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, Bai Ruoxi, who was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, slowly opened her eyes.


    In those usually cold and weak eyes, there was now a starry brilliance.


    In the Jade Pool Holy Land, Yao Meng, who was looking up at the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree, slightly turned her head and glanced in the direction of the borderlands as the tremors subsided.


    On this day, countless cultivators were alarmed.


    After the death of the Primordial Demon Emperor, the Demon Empress succeeded to the throne. Since then, the Demon Realm and the Eastern Continent had been at peace. But now, the Demon Empress, who was worshipped as a god by the Demon Realm, had called out Shang Yanfei?


    If two Dao Integration experts were to fight… the other forces would not be able to stay out of it.


    And just as the people were uneasy, countless gazes subconsciously looked towards the location of the Two Polarities Sect.


    They knew that the Demon Empress was looking for Shang Yanfei. Before she appeared, the Demon Empress, with her strong and domineering personality, would not let this go.


    Tap, tap, tap…


    Under the countless gazes, Shang Yanfei’s tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and she casually raised her eyes.
