Penglai Holy Realm

Biyou Palace

The Sect Hierarch Tongtian sits cross-legged next to a blue stone, focusing intently on the chessboard in front of him.

The chess pieces on the board, crafted from jade, gleam like jade itself and are divided into black and white. On the board, they seem like dragons soaring and tigers descending from mountains.

White and black pieces confront each other, with no clear advantage.

The gaze of Sect Hierarch Tongtian remains fixed on the board, his fingers gently caressing the pieces, casually shifting them around.

Suddenly, his fingers pause, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But quickly, a smile appears on his face, and he chuckles: "This Duobao… really is going backwards the more he lives!"

Seated before him is an exceptionally beautiful woman, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, who had recently returned from the Outer Heaven Chaos.

Hearing Sect Hierarch Tongtian's words, she couldn't help but frown slightly, and asked somewhat puzzledly, "Did something happen to Brother?"

"What could happen to him?" Sect Hierarch Tongtian laughed and said: "He's very good! His mind is as mischievous as when he first became a disciple!"

Hearing this, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother became even more confused.

So is this good or bad?

After thinking for a moment, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother curbed her curiosity and asked about another matter.

"Master, did you call me here to find the whereabouts of Bai Ze?"

She had almost been exiled to the boundless chaos by Bai Ze's schemes and nearly couldn't return.

Whether it was herself, her master Sect Hierarch Tongtian, or her disciple Yu Yuan, all had a grudge against Bai Ze in their hearts.

However, Bai Ze had always moved through the Primordial using the evil corpse incarnation "Mr. Bai," and his true form was hidden, unknown. Yu Yuan's attempts to investigate had also been fruitless for a long time.

Although Sect Hierarch Tongtian is revered as a Saint, due to the Calamity Qi pervading between Heaven and Earth, causing Heavenly Mechanism to be chaotic and cause and effect to dissipate, he could not use the Saint's methods to find Bai Ze.

Nevertheless, he is still the leader of the greatest sect in Primordial.

With a single command, thousands of immortals would come to court!

The order to search for Bai Ze had been issued long ago, and not long before news finally came back that someone had spotted the Ancient Demon Court's Demon Emperor Hall in the northern desert of the Northern Continent.

"Demon Emperor Hall?"

Golden Spirit Saint Mother's eyebrows furrowed, and she said seriously, "This matter seems unusual; it might be related to Bai Ze. Perhaps let your disciple go to the Northern Continent to take a look."

Sect Hierarch Tongtian nodded slightly, looking at her and said, "That would be good, but you are not yet a match for Bai Ze; it would be best if your disciple went with you."

"Yu Yuan?"

Golden Spirit Saint Mother hesitated.

This disciple always had his own ideas, and she wasn't sure she could really ask him to help.

Moreover, as a master, it seemed inappropriate to rely on her own disciple for protection.

However, she was not one to fret over such matters, knowing that Sect Hierarch Tongtian's suggestion was indeed the best choice. She promptly nodded decisively and then took her leave.

After exiting Biyou Palace, she did not return to her own temple but instead summoned the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car, held aloft by the Seven-colored Clouds, and swiftly made her way towards Golden Turtle Island.

In just a moment, she arrived near Linhuan Pass using the Curved Realm Ark.

She had known for a long time that her two disciples had built a fortress here, but as someone uninterested in worldly affairs, this was her first visit.

Unexpectedly, she didn't sense Yu Yuan's presence.

At this time, Wen Zhong, who was directing the construction of the new city at Linhuan Pass, saw the sky filled with colorful clouds and smelled a familiar light fragrance in the air. How could he not know that his master, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, had arrived?

He quickly straightened his robe, stepped on an Auspicious Cloud, and flew up into the sky, respectfully saluting the long-unseen figure inside the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car.

"Disciple pays respects to Master! May Master soon realize the Great Path!"

"No need for such formalities."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother observed her junior disciple through a curtain. Having not seen him for over a decade, she noted that he had not only matured in his stature and appearance but also in his temperament.

She briefly inquired about Wen Zhong's recent situation, then proceeded to ask about Yu Yuan's whereabouts.

Scratching his head awkwardly, Wen Zhong replied, "Disciple has been busy constructing the new city recently and did not notice where my senior brother went…"

Before he could finish his sentence, a melodious, bell-like voice came from the distance.

"Master Uncle! I know where Junior Brother Yu Yuan went!"

Turning towards the source of the sound, Golden Spirit Saint Mother saw a tall, beautiful woman with an oval face and curved eyebrows, descending through the air.

Dressed in a fiery red Immortal Dress and a golden crown, she carried an ethereal grace and flawless beauty.

As she approached the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car, she respectfully bowed and then huffed, "Junior Brother must have run off to Qingqiu again!

He clearly promised to take me with him yesterday, and yet he disappeared early this morning!"

Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded slightly, said, "I understand," and then encouraged Wen Zhong with a few words before urging the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car to leave.

With urgency, Huo Ling'er approached and nervously said, "Master Uncle, are you going to fetch Junior Brother back from Qingqiu? I was merely guessing; perhaps he went to Emei Mountain to visit Master Uncle Gongming."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Golden Spirit Saint Mother looked at her and asked, "You don't want me to fetch him from Qingqiu back to Penglai?"

Huo Ling'er shook her head, then nodded, seeming quite conflicted.

While Wen Zhong was confused by the scene, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother understood her thoughts and simply smiled before driving the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car towards the horizon.

"Sigh…"

Huo Ling'er sighed softly, feeling somewhat melancholy as she descended from the clouds.

Wen Zhong, following behind, curiously asked, "Sister, are you alright?"

Huo Ling'er glanced at him and replied irritably, "Do I look alright? Playing dumb, just like your brother!"

With that, she quickened her pace and plunged into the Treasure Hall by the Huai River.

Wen Zhong, puzzled, merely shrugged, not understanding how his sister could be so sensitive one moment and fierce the next. He thought to himself how strange she seemed.

Shaking his head, he sighed, "Women are so troublesome... Senior Brother is simpler, saying whatever is on his mind! Oh, I must tell Senior Brother about this."

As he spoke, he took out a copper mirror.

…

Qingqiu

In the dense forest between the mountains stood a dazzling Treasure Hall, radiating precious light from inside out, accentuating its extraordinary nature.

Inside the Treasure Hall, the air was steamy.

Yu Yuan's strong, well-proportioned body was lying on a couch, his eyes slightly closed, holding a sinuously graceful figure in his arms.

Next to him, a woman with regal beauty and charming demeanor, her dark hair simply tied up in a cloud bun, her delicate chin pointed, and her lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a gentle smile.

She wore only a red silk garment, her white chest faintly visible.

Her tender white fingers delicately traced circles on Yu Yuan's well-toned upper body, her refined nose trembling slightly, her eyes clear and bright like two translucent gemstones.

The woman sat up straight, her face flushed, eyes hazy, and temptingly playful, as she gently licked his chest.

"My lord…"

Although dual cultivation with Bai Ling no longer offered him any enhancements, Yu Yuan still selflessly chose to aid his partner's rapid growth!

However, just as Bai Ling was about to make her move, Yu Yuan suddenly felt an impulse.

With a thought, he took out his copper mirror and his expression subtly changed.

Bai Ling stopped her movements, curiously looking at him.

"Is there something wrong?"

Yu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Just a minor issue, continue with your work."

Though he said this, his mind was already bustling with thoughts.
