As Si Yu's senior sister, she had envied her junior brother countless times. Now that she also had the opportunity to possess the Heavenly Eye, it was hard not to be tempted. However... between the Azure Dragon and the Heavenly Eye, she would choose the former, but now she couldn't even see a shadow of the Azure Dragon.
After hesitating for a long time, Hua Li took out her astrologer and cast a divination, but it was blank.
Hua Li frowned. A blank hanging? Her gaze fell on the inheritance, and she sighed softly. Since the inheritance appeared first, it must be destined for her. Then she would accept the inheritance first!
——
Yin Han looked at the two who had disappeared, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes. In the past, when this kind of situation occurred in the secret realm, it was either an illusion or someone had obtained the inheritance. He just didn't know if it was Hua Li or the female master.
Just as he was looking around, the white mist around him suddenly disappeared, and he arrived in a dark valley. Before him were scattered firelights, and Yin Han looked around warily.
Suddenly, an explosion rang out, and a volcano not far away was blown open, with countless molten magma rolling down. Yin Han frowned and quickly flew up to the top of the mountain.
At that moment, the earth suddenly shook violently, and Yin Han almost lost his footing. He saw a sword slowly rising from the volcano's crater and hovering above it.
Yin Han's eyes widened. It was an ancient divine artifact: the Heaven-Burning Sword.
The sword is crimson, like a burning fire, with golden gems inlaid on the hilt. It contains fire elements and is engraved with mysterious flame totems. The sword is three feet long, and under the light of the fire, fire dragons seem to fly around the sword, exuding extraordinary power and unstoppable might.
He was very familiar with this sword. He had seen it in a book in his master's library ten years ago. At that moment, he felt an immense desire for it. During that time, he was almost obsessed. The image of this sword kept appearing in his mind, and he even dreamed of owning it.
The Heaven-Burning Sword is an ancient divine weapon, but the world thinks it's just a legend. Only he has always believed that this divine sword is real, and now it is truly appearing before him.
He had researched everything about the Burning Heaven Sword. Not everyone could use this sword. Only those with pure fire element and strong spiritual power could control it. If someone forcibly formed a contract with someone who did not possess fire element attributes, they would be burned by the sword's flames.
Fortunately, he met the requirements, and since he needed a lot of mental energy to cultivate his barrier, and the opportunity to form a contract with the Heavenly Blaze was right in front of him, it was hard not to be tempted.
"Am I the only one who was teleported here? Could this be my opportunity?"
Yin Han hesitated for a long time, then a determined look flashed in his eyes before he flew towards the Burning Heaven Sword.
However, just as he was about to approach the Burning Heaven Sword, the sword seemed to have gained its own consciousness and kept dodging Yin Han, as if it was deliberately teasing him.
But Yin Han would not give up so easily. He chased after Yin Han with his sword in this dark and sunless world, completely unaware of how much time had passed outside.
——
Nine Heavens Palace.
The man, dressed in a long black robe that trailed on the ground, exuded a domineering and imposing aura, radiating an aura that warned others to stay away. His sculpted, peerless face and deep, cold eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. His slender fingers tapped the table beside him intermittently.
Yingyue, Wuxin, and Ziyu knelt on the ground in silence. Their master had been unconscious for ten days after returning from Julong Lake. The first thing he did upon waking up was to summon them here, but he remained silent.
For a moment, none of them knew what their master was going to do. Then, the man in the main seat finally spoke.
"Does the woman you mentioned before really exist?"
The group exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads. When they had mentioned the mistress before, their master hadn't believed them, thinking they were lying to him and causing them to be punished. So they hadn't dared to bring it up again.
Later, Yin Han refused to believe in evil and tried to subtly undermine his master, but unexpectedly, he was slapped away by his master and forced to go to the Julong Lake Secret Realm with injuries.
Seeing that the others remained silent, Gong Mingyue's deep voice came again, "Speak."
"Master, it is indeed true."
Yingyue spoke first, and seeing that Yingyue looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, Gong Mingyue narrowed his eyes.
"Or is she a mortal from a lower plane?"
Yingyue nodded again, and Gong Mingyue glanced at Wuxin and Ziyu with his deep eyes. The two of them nodded quickly.
Gong Mingyue remained silent for a long time. So, the blurry figure that appeared in his mind from time to time might be her deep in his heart?
"Was the Phoenix Frost Bracelet also a gift from me?"
The group nodded again, while keeping an eye on their master's expression. Ziyu and Wuxin looked at Yingyue.
[Shadowmoon, what's going on? Why is Master acting so strangely all of a sudden?]
[The mistress has arrived in the Heavenly Realm and is currently beneath the Gathering Dragon Lake Secret Realm. The Phoenix Frost Bracelet unleashed its power, which the mistress sensed. It seems to have triggered divine punishment, and the mistress was caught off guard by the backlash and fell into a coma after blocking the divine punishment.]
"Divine punishment? Master doesn't seem like the type to meddle in other people's business!" Wuxin asked doubtfully. The mistress had just ascended, and with her current strength, she shouldn't have triggered divine punishment at all. Why would Master suddenly take action, disregarding the backlash he might suffer?
The observant Ziyu, however, connected the dots with the beast Ji Jiuying had contracted, and probably guessed something as well.
[What do you know? The mistress won't trigger divine punishment, but her contracted divine beast will. The master and mistress must be in sync; the beast knew the mistress was in danger, which is why it risked everything to resist the divine punishment.]
As soon as Ziyu finished speaking, Yingyue nodded in agreement.
"Purple Rain".
Gong Mingyue's cold voice rang out, startling Ziyu, who thought her master had discovered their whispered conversation.
"master."
Zi Yu lowered her head and responded cautiously.
"You, go and draw her."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yu suddenly looked up, "Huh?"
Coming to his senses, he quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Master, I will go right away."
After Zi Yu left, Gong Mingyue asked a lot more questions about Ji Jiuying, but when he learned Ji Jiuying's age, his face darkened, he staggered and almost lost his balance, and reached out to rub his forehead.
She seemed unable to understand why someone who had lived for over a thousand years would fall in love with someone whose bone age was so young. According to seniority, even calling him "ancestor" seemed a bit... complicated!
If it weren't for Feng Shuangzhu's reaction and the images in his mind, he wouldn't have believed that these things were real!
Just then, Ziyu returned.
"Master, I can only capture one-tenth of the mistress's unparalleled beauty in my drawing. Please take a look."
Gong Mingyue took the portrait from Ziyu's hand, slowly opened it, and a hint of amazement flashed quickly in his deep eyes.
The woman in the painting is dressed in a flowing red gown, her long black hair tied up with a single hairpin. Her small, exquisite face is breathtakingly beautiful, with cool and aloof eyes that resemble a galaxy. Beneath her upturned nose, her red lips are slightly upturned, and the blood lotus between her brows adds to her allure.
