After returning from Longtou Mountain, images that didn't belong to him kept appearing in his mind. Every time he tried to see them clearly, he couldn't. He only knew that the place in the images was called Penglai Island. He searched the entire Cangming Continent but couldn't find a place called Penglai Island.

What exactly are those memories? And what is their connection to him?

Back at the Princess's residence, only Feng Che was there. Feng Wu had gone into seclusion to cultivate in order to refine the talisman manual given by Ji Jiu Ying, while Hei Xiang Ling and Bai Li Sha had gone off to fool around somewhere again.

"Second Uncle, how much do you know about the Demon Realm?"

Feng Che shook his head. "Why did Jiu'er suddenly ask about the Demon Realm?"

"After we go up to the Heavenly Domain Continent, I want to go to the Demon Realm. Second Uncle, is there any way to do that?" Ji Jiuying asked.

Feng Che frowned. "Jiu'er, demons are very exclusive. If a human enters the demon realm, they will definitely be discovered by the demons, and then they will face countless dangers."

"Jiu'er, listen to your uncle, don't go near the demon realm."

Feng Che said earnestly.

“Uncle, Si Yu said there are Xuanbing Flowers in the Demon Realm. I have to go there for A Yue’s sake.”

Feng Che remained silent for a long while before speaking softly, "Let's discuss this matter again later. As for Jiu'er, has she been harassed by anyone in the palace?"

Ji Jiuying smiled. "No, unless they're not afraid of death!"

Feng Che looked at her with affection. Indeed, nowadays, she was only good at bullying others; she was not the one who would be bullied.

——

The banquet at the palace lasted until dusk before it ended, and the people of the Western Jin Dynasty all returned to the post station.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the Emperor, "Emperor, Empress, do you know why I agreed to let Jun Linyu return to the capital?"

The Empress pondered for a moment, "This third prince has always been ambitious. How could he be willing to be a prince on the frontier? I just don't know what method he used to get the Crown Prince of Western Jin to help him. This time, Western Jin came to arrange a marriage alliance. It's obvious that he calculated that Jun Linqi is still a minor and that Tian'er has no intention of getting married. He seized this opportunity. Even if he doesn't succeed this time, there will probably be another time."

The Empress Dowager smiled and glanced at Ji Yuerou. As expected of the Empress she had personally chosen, she was intelligent and quick to understand.

"The Empress is right. Instead of trying to frame us, we should go with the flow. If the enemy is in the dark, we can't figure them out. But if the enemy is right under our noses, it will be much easier to deal with them."

"This third son is clever, but his cleverness has backfired. Now he dares to negotiate with a tiger, and later he might dare to rebel and usurp the throne. Emperor, this third son cannot be allowed to live..."

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and spoke calmly.

The emperor tapped his fingers on the table. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for the third son. When the Liang family rebelled, the fifth son was involved, so he had to abandon him. The third son was demoted to the frontier to protect him. He never expected that the third son would be so ambitious and dare to leave his fiefdom repeatedly. Now he has even colluded with the Western Jin Dynasty!

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, the Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly.

"By the way, Tian'er, did you remember what Master Kongchen said to you today?"

The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Master Kongchen traveled a long way to the palace, but only exchanged a few words with Jun Lintian before leaving. They only understood one sentence: Master Kongchen said that Tian'er was destined to be emperor.

Jun Lintian pouted, "Grandma, I'll remember that!"

After returning to his palace, Jun Lintian lay on his bed and, as if remembering something, took out a jade pendant from his spatial ring and examined it.

"This bald guy, he can't even speak clearly, why did he give me a broken jade pendant?" Jun Lintian threw the jade pendant aside and fell into a deep sleep, completely forgetting what Jin Chenzi had told him.

Night fell.

Ye Qingchen looked at the familiar figure in the crowd, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Just as Ji Jiuying was about to head towards Qi Yueye, someone patted her on the back. Ji Jiuying grabbed the hand on her shoulder warily and threw her over her shoulder. However, the person behind her did not fall to the ground in a disheveled manner, but instead flipped over in the air and landed gracefully on the ground.

When Ji Jiuying saw who it was, she froze on the spot.

"Qingchen, why aren't you saying anything? I thought..." Ji Jiuying said awkwardly.

Ye Qingchen didn't mind at all and laughed, "It's alright, it's just that Qingchen didn't think it through."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go!"

Ji Jiuying said.

Let's go!

The two disappeared at the end of the street corner. The girl, who was not far away, stared at the figures disappearing at the end of the street corner, paused for a moment, and then quickly ran after them.

This action startled Murong Yun, who quickly gave chase.

Murong Ning stopped, panting, and looked around, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see.

"Ning'er, what are you looking for?"

Murong Yun caught up and said unhappily.

"Brother, no...no, I must have misread it."

"Let's go back!"

Murong Ning nodded and turned to leave. Murong Yun glanced around, his expression shifting slightly.

Ji Jiuying and Ye Qingchen soon arrived at a desolate mountain range.

Looking at the chaotic mountain range, Ji Jiuying's lips twitched. "Qingchen, is there really a spirit vein mine here?"

"Xiao Jiu, come with me."

With that, Ye Qingchen headed into the depths of the mountains, and Ji Jiuying followed.

soon.

The two arrived at the foot of a mountain. At this moment, Ji Jiuying clearly sensed that there were many experts lying in ambush all around. It seemed that Qingchen's people were guarding the spirit vein mine here. Ye Qingchen gathered his spiritual power and threw it to the side. Soon, a cave large enough for two people to enter appeared at the foot of the mountain.

A wisp of spiritual energy emanated from the cave, instantly making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Xiao Jiu, come in!"

Ye Qingchen took out two luminous pearls, placed one in Ji Jiuying's hand, and went inside.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Jiuying set up a formation at the entrance of the cave for safety reasons.

[Mother, quickly release Little Phoenix.]

The voice of Xiao Huang'er rang in her mind. Ji Jiuying's expression changed, and Xiao Huang'er appeared in the cave.

Ye Qingchen sensed something, turned around and glanced back, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything. He knew that it was Xiao Jiu's contracted beast.

The spiritual energy inside the cave grew increasingly dense, and Ji Jiuying was delighted, thinking that the spirit stones from this spiritual vein mine must be very pure.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the space suddenly opened up before us. It was like a secret chamber, but the difference was that the walls and the ground beneath our feet were covered with unmined spirit stones.

A rich spiritual energy permeated the air.

"Is Mother going to cultivate here?"

Little Phoenix asked.

Ji Jiuying nodded, then turned to look at Ye Qingchen, "Qingchen, are you really willing to sell me such a complete spirit vein mine?"

"I can't bear to part with it. Since Xiao Jiu gave Qing Chen a Heaven-grade pill and a pill formula, Qing Chen should give Xiao Jiu something in return, shouldn't he?" Ye Qing Chen said with a smile.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. If Qingchen wants to go out, the stone with a circle drawn on it to the right of the door is the key point of the formation."
