Hong Fei was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when suddenly a massive energy swept in from the direction of her shoulder, instantly engulfing her entire primordial spirit. Her previously weak and almost vanished soul power was suddenly replenished like a sponge thrown into the ocean. Even her almost invisible transparent form began to solidify rapidly, becoming clearer and clearer, and in no time it looked indistinguishable from a solid object.

More importantly, she felt that the damage to her primordial spirit caused by the formation had been completely erased, and her primordial spirit was even stronger than it had been in its prime, making her feel as if she had been reborn.

"This...this is..."

Not only Hong Fei, but even Xiao Man next to her was stunned, staring in disbelief at the primordial spirit in front of her. Hong Fei's current primordial spirit was no different from a divine consciousness clone; without the use of immortal power to investigate, it was impossible to tell that it had no physical form.

"Alright, you can now release the seal on the remnant soul!"

"..."

———————

Hong Fei's primordial spirit collected hundreds of remnant souls, meaning that Ming Ye had used hundreds of women to refine his spirit over the years. Hong Fei said that apart from some female immortals and celestial maidens sent later, most of these remnant souls were actually famous female immortal lords from the Seventh Heaven back then.

After Mingye locked her primordial spirit here, some people noticed the anomaly, but Mingye sent them all here to refine their spirits and kill them. Over time, no one doubted the fake emperor anymore, and Mingye gradually occupied the entire Seven Heavens.

After Youyou allowed Hongfei's primordial spirit to return to her body, she handed over the entire mess of the Seventh Heaven to her. This was the empire she had built, and it was inconvenient for her to interfere.

Hong Fei, worthy of having ascended to the throne single-handedly and protected all the female immortals in the celestial realm, immediately upon returning, imprisoned and purged some of Ming Ye's remaining subordinates and male immortals. She then gathered all the immortals of the Seven Celestial Palaces, selectively recounting the events of the Seven Heavens over the years while concealing some of the truth. She delivered a powerful and inspiring speech, promising to lift the curses on all the female immortals.

Her eloquence was so captivating that even You You was thrilled. The affairs of the Seventh Heaven would likely keep her busy for a while. Thinking about the matters in the lower realm, You You didn't intend to linger and directly asked to retrieve the sacred pool water before leaving.

"Sacred Pool water?" Before Hong Fei could reply, Xiao Man paused, then asked with a hint of confusion, "Fellow Daoist You, we swam in the Sacred Pool for so long, haven't you filled your cup with enough water yet?"

"You mean the diving area?" Youyou was taken aback. "Isn't that a public bathhouse?"

Xiao Man: "..." No, that is the real Sacred Pool!

Youyou: "..." Suddenly I don't want it anymore.

Where is the sacred pool that was supposed to be formed from pure and righteous energy? It doesn't look that pure and righteous at all! But thinking about it carefully, the reason why Mingye is in the sacred pool is probably because he is a demon. He needs the sacred pool to suppress the demonic energy on his body so as not to expose his identity.

She understood, but the thought of the water being used for the celestial maidens' drinking still made her feel a little awkward. Fortunately, Hong Fei suggested fetching water from the source above the sacred pool, where the water's purest energy was most concentrated. You You agreed, as long as it wasn't bathwater.

After fetching the water, Youyou prepared to take her leave; she had already lingered in the Immortal Realm for five or six days. Although her father, Yuan, said the Heavenly Maiden's condition was relatively stable, it was still best to lift the curse as soon as possible. Furthermore, she couldn't offer much help with the reconstruction of the Seventh Heaven.

So he patted Hong Fei on the shoulder and gave her a few suggestions: "If you're really too busy or have any difficulties, you can ask the sixth and fourth emperors of the Middle Heaven for help. If you're really short of manpower or supplies, you can also ask the second emperor of the Lower Heaven. I'm quite familiar with them, so just tell them what I said, and they'll help!" After all, she also bore some responsibility for the destruction of the Seventh Heaven Palace.

Hong Fei: "..." No, there are only four emperors below the seventh heaven, right? You just mentioned three?! Could it be that she's been imprisoned for too long and the immortal realm is already close to unification?

“My lord…” Hong Fei was about to say something.

"Stop!" You You's lips twitched, and he immediately interrupted her. "Didn't I tell you that our contract was only to save you, and had no other meaning? Once I find a way, I'll break it off with you. You don't need to call me 'Master'." The key was that if Feng Rong heard this, he would definitely burn this place down again.

Hong Fei smiled gently, but her eyes were exceptionally firm. "I know what my lord means. The contract is just a temporary measure, but you have indeed saved my life and given me a second chance, and you have also been kind to the entire Seven Heavens. Whether the contract is dissolved or not, Hong Fei should regard you as my lord."

"..." I just can't understand this girl!

“If Your Majesty does not like this form of address, how about I address you as Sect Master, just like your disciples do?” Hong Fei immediately added, looking all understanding and considerate.

"...Fine! Whatever makes you happy."

After chatting for a few more minutes, You You and Feng Rong prepared to descend to the mortal realm and return to the True Path Sect. Just as they were about to open the passage to the mortal realm, a female immortal rushed over, looking anxious, and said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Outside the Heavenly Palace... a large number of immortals from the Eighth Heaven have arrived outside the Heavenly Palace. They say they heard that three Divine Lords from the Seventh Heaven have fallen one after another, and they are afraid that something might happen to the Heavenly Palace, so they have come to help Your Majesty stabilize the Celestial Court."

"What!" Hong Fei exclaimed in surprise, asking in a deep voice, "How many people have come?"

“There are… there are several thousand people, and… even the Eighth Emperor has come!” the female immortal replied.

"Zou Xiao!" Hong Fei's brows furrowed deeply, and her hands clenched tightly. "Hmph! What help to stabilize the Celestial Court? Zou Xiao, that despicable scoundrel, just wants to take this opportunity to seize the Seventh Heaven. I just didn't expect them to arrive so quickly!"

Youyou pulled her foot back from the step she was about to take into the passage. "How about... we stay a little longer?"

"..."

————————

Outside the Seventh Heaven Palace.

The Eighth Emperor, leading a vast army of several thousand, was heading towards the Heavenly Gate of the Seventh Heaven. At a glance, the once heavily guarded Heavenly Gate was reduced to two stone pillars a few inches high; the majestic Heavenly Gate had vanished without a trace, and only a thick layer of dust remained on the ground.

For a moment, Zou Xiao doubted his eyes. He summoned a celestial official to confirm repeatedly before he was certain that this was indeed the location of the Seven Heavens Gate. However, the place was completely empty; there were no gatekeepers, and even the gate itself was gone.

"Hahahaha..." Zou Xiao was overjoyed and laughed out loud. "It seems that the information I received was correct. Something big has happened in the Seven Heavens. Three Divine Lords have fallen at the same time, and the Seven Heavens is in chaos. There isn't even a gatekeeper immortal. It's truly heaven's help!"
