Leng Hanmei's respect for the white-haired woman was not due to the woman's cultivation level or strength.

Instead, the white-haired woman and the founder of the Broken Heart Sect belonged to the same era.

Contrary to popular belief, the Broken Heart Sect was not founded by a single founder; the true founders were two individuals.

The founder of the Broken Heart Sect and the white-haired woman were once close friends, and they explored a secret realm together.

The two found two supreme inheritances in a secret realm: one was the Severing Emotions Technique, and the other was the Supreme Technique.

After some discussion, the founder of the Broken Heart Sect decided to cultivate the Broken Heart Technique, while the white-haired woman would cultivate the Supreme Technique.

Later, the two achieved success in their cultivation and established the Broken Heart Sect.

As the Broken Heart Sect grew stronger, it attracted countless enemies, forcing it to make changes in some areas.

The founder of the Broken Heart Sect possessed earth-shattering strength, making him the strongest figure in the sect on the surface.

Many people were terrified at the mere sight of her, and didn't even have the courage to fight.

The white-haired woman cultivated the Supreme Technique, but her strength was far less than that of the Severing Emotions Technique, making her an easy target for others.

She voluntarily stepped back from the limelight to strategize for the Broken Heart Sect.

The fact that the Broken Heart Sect was able to develop to such a powerful level is inseparable from the white-haired woman.

The white-haired woman could be said to have devoted her entire life to the Broken Heart Sect, working diligently even after the sect's founder disappeared.

At the same time, only the core members of the Broken Heart Sect knew that the greatest contributor to the sect was not the founding patriarch, but this white-haired woman who had retired behind the scenes.

The white-haired woman revealed far too many secrets in her life, and even her once black hair turned white.

Originally, cultivators who reached the Mahayana stage should be immortal.

However, the white-haired woman possessed a lifespan, but she might not live past a thousand years.

If the white-haired woman's cultivation level does not break through, she will die of old age after a thousand years.

In order to live longer, the white-haired woman no longer revealed the secrets of heaven.

She would only reveal such information if it concerned the rise and fall of the Heartbreak Sect.

Seeing the white-haired woman in such a hurry, Leng Hanmei instantly understood that it must be something very important.

"Hanmei, you must immediately depart from the Broken Heart Sect and head to the Yellow Maple Valley in the South. There is an opportunity for you there, and if you are late, someone else may snatch it up first," the white-haired woman hurriedly instructed.

"No wonder I had this uneasy feeling. It turns out my opportunity was stolen, and the thief is very likely Han Feng." Leng Hanmei gritted her teeth.

Not long after the white-haired woman finished speaking, she coughed violently.

She quickly took out a handkerchief and put it to her mouth; bright red blood covered the entire handkerchief.

"Master, you should go back and rest. I already know what to do." Leng Hanmei quickly stepped forward to support him.

"If you can kill the person who stole your treasure, don't let them go. This person may destroy our entire Broken Heart Sect in the future."

The white-haired woman coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, staining the entire handkerchief red.

Her once smooth, fair skin has aged considerably at a visible rate.

Once again, a secret was revealed, causing the white-haired woman to age even more.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely not let this person go."

Only after Leng Hanmei agreed again did the white-haired woman feel at ease.

After the white-haired woman left, she immediately summoned the Mahayana cultivator of the Broken Heart Sect.

Tempted by the allure of the Xuan Tian Ling Bao and the possibility of the sect's annihilation, the Mahayana cultivators of the Duan Qing Sect were all willing to go.

Leng Hanmei decided to take the four of them with her. Even if they couldn't obtain the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword, they absolutely couldn't let Han Feng go.

...

A secluded, sacred mountain.

Li Wanqing stood atop the mountain, her gaze fixed on the southern horizon.

Her originally beautiful face appeared extremely distorted due to her own emotions.

"Lady Wanqing, the Empress is almost finished with the inheritance of her cultivation. Her cultivation has already reached the early stage of the Mahayana stage. In three more years, her cultivation will reach the late stage of the Mahayana stage. At that time, we will not be able to carry out the memory inheritance?"

A maid named Hongmei from the Imperial Princess's Path stepped forward to report.

"Proceed in this manner. You must keep a close eye on Nangong Xian. She is the reincarnation of the Empress, but that doesn't mean she is willing to become someone else," Li Wanqing instructed.

“I will remember your words, but Hongmei doesn’t understand why we don’t just erase Nangong Xian’s memories. That way, the Empress’s memory inheritance would be smoother.” Hongmei asked, puzzled.

"What you said is a very good method, but there will be side effects. If the cleansing weakens the soul, and the Empress successfully possesses the body, it will take a long time to recover."

Li Wanqing explained, "Besides, given the Empress's cultivation level before her death, how could Nangong Xian's original memories withstand the Empress's possession?"

"The adults are very thoughtful."

"Your next task is to keep an eye on the Empress's possession and make sure nothing unexpected happens. I'm going out for a while. If anything happens, just let me know."

"Yes, sir!"

Hongmei returned to the palace behind her to act as a protector for the Empress's possession of another body.

"I don't have much time left. I have to kill Han Feng beforehand, otherwise the Empress will suspect me of incompetence when she wakes up and takes action."

Li Wanqing decided to go to Tiannan; she could no longer wait.

Han Feng's growth rate is too fast. He has grown from an ant that could be crushed at any time to someone who can compete with him.

In particular, Han Feng also obtained the Xuan Tian Ling Bao, which further enhanced his combat power.

She could have waited until the natural barrier was cleared before eliminating Han Feng.

But now, Han Feng's development has far exceeded his expectations.

Even if it comes at a price, she must go to Tiannan now.

She wasn't particularly interested in the Xuan Tian Ling Bao (a type of magical treasure), but she had a compelling reason to kill Han Feng.

Li Wanqing disappeared from the immortal mountain and headed south into the sky.

Apart from sects like Taiqing Sect and Duanqing Sect, many other sects with profound foundations also headed south.

No one wants to let go of a treasure like the Xuan Tian Ling Bao.

The extraordinary phenomenon of Han Feng obtaining the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword became known throughout almost the entire Tiannan region.

However, due to Han Feng's strength, no one dared to delve into the cause of the strange phenomenon.

As Han Feng took the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword, the strangeness of the sword peak also disappeared.

"A mysterious and powerful treasure has been born!"

Su Yinyue and Zi Ling also stopped cultivating and came to where Han Feng was.

The two were also extremely surprised when they saw the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword in Han Feng's hand.

Neither of them expected that the small Yellow Maple Valley would contain such a powerful treasure.

"Old Demon Han, how did your cultivation break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm?" Su Yinyue asked, focusing on Han Feng's cultivation level again.

She was quite pleased with herself for finally breaking through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

But this joy would vanish instantly in front of Han Feng, leaving only disappointment.

"What's so strange about that? I've always broken through very quickly," Han Feng said matter-of-factly.

"you...."

Su Yinyue wanted to refute, but didn't know how.

Han Feng's cultivation breakthroughs have always been very fast. The principle that cultivation speed is slow at higher realms seems to have no effect on him at all.
