<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Your master is... the Yunmeng Goddess?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a moment of silence, Su Jingzhen looked at Qin Lingshuang and asked.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The latter nodded in confirmation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"That's right. Master found me a little over a month ago, after her reincarnation."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, Qin Lingshuang's tone was filled with excitement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen's heart trembled once again. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This meant... Qin Lingshuang was a disciple that the Yunmeng Goddess had taken before her reincarnation as Xuening.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When the Yunmeng Goddess first awakened, her cultivation had already reached the level of an Immortal King.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen knew that at her peak, she must have undoubtedly been an Immortal Emperor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And not just any Immortal Emperor-she was likely among the top tier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Since Qin Lingshuang had been her disciple before her reincarnation, it was clear that Qin Lingshuang had lived for an extremely long time. Her cultivation couldn't possibly be just at the True Immortal Realm as it appeared on the surface.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this point, Su Jingzhen couldn't help but look at her with curiosity. "Dean Qin, your cultivation isn't just at the True Immortal Realm, is it?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As if she had anticipated Su Jingzhen's curiosity, Qin Lingshuang smiled again and then released her true aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was at the level of an Immortal King!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, her aura was even more powerful than that of Immortal King Fu Guang and Immortal King Tie Jian, who had previously ambushed Su Jingzhen. She was infinitely close to the Immortal Emperor level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although Su Jingzhen had already guessed as much, when Qin Lingshuang fully released her aura, he still felt a sense of numbness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Running into an Immortal King so casually... If it weren't for the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen would be in extreme danger no matter where he went.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Su, there's no need to be surprised. Although my Winter Sun Immortal Academy may seem weak and insignificant, it has existed for a very long time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, it was established under the guidance of my master. Perhaps it was all for this moment of karmic connection."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The fact that Master was able to accurately predict your arrival at the Winter Sun Immortal Academy over a month ago shows that she has a deep karmic connection with you.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And it's a positive one. You must be someone she deeply trusts".

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a pause, Qin Lingshuang added, "When Master found me, she gave me something and instructed me to personally hand it over to you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, Qin Lingshuang took out an ancient black jade box.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was the real reason why she had sought out Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The box was sealed with a familiar aura - Xuening's aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's heart trembled once again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He solemnly took the box and instinctively channeled his energy into it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In an instant, a multi-colored light erupted from the box, and the seal was broken.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Qin Lingshuang's expression turned serious, and her gaze toward Su Jingzhen grew even more complex.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although she hadn't tried it herself, she knew that the seal on the box was extremely powerful. Yet, Su Jingzhen's energy had acted like a key, unlocking it effortlessly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen opened the box in front of Qin Lingshuang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">To their surprise, inside was nothing but a seemingly worn-out black iron fragment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There were some crooked lines on it that didn't look like Dao patterns, but rather resembled a map.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What is this? A map?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen turned the iron fragment over and over again, unable to make any sense of it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although he had deep karmic ties within the Emperor Realm, he knew almost nothing about its geography.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Since Qin Lingshuang was a disciple of the Yunmeng Goddess, Su Jingzhen didn't hesitate to show the fragment to her.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her brows furrowed as she examined it, clearly unable to decipher its meaning either.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If she went through such lengths to deliver this to me, it must be extremely important. Perhaps this location is where she currently is. Take your time to analyze it."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen spoke to Qin Lingshuang and then added, "When she came to you a month ago, to what level had her cultivation recovered?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qin Lingshuang replied, "The peak of the Immortal King realm!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded. "Then this location might be related to her recovery to the Immortal Emperor level, or even her peak strength. Moreover, she likely doesn't have full confidence and needs my help."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he analyzed the iron fragment, Su Jingzhen felt increasingly certain that his reasoning was correct.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qin Lingshuang's expression turned serious. Despite her extensive knowledge of the Emperor Realm, she couldn't match the curves on the fragment to any known location.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She then turned to Su Jingzhen. "I can't figure it out, but Fellow Daoist Su, could you try channeling your energy into the fragment? I've tried several types of energy, but it remains unresponsive, still looking like an ordinary piece of iron".

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen's heart stirred and his demeanor suddenly shifted.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the next moment, he transformed back into the alchemy grand master he had once been.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Dan Heart that he controlled materialized in his hand.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was through alchemy that he had formed a bond with Xuening. It made sense that any mechanism she left behind would require the power of the Dan Heart to unlock.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen held the iron fragment with the power of the Dan Heart and channeled his energy into it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the next instant, a black light emanated from the fragment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both of them were visibly excited.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The black light slowly coalesced in the air, forming the shape of a mountain.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This place is... I know it! This is the Nethersea, Death Mountain!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The moment she saw the black mountain, Qin Lingshuang exclaimed in excitement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, her excitement quickly turned to concern.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her expression became grave.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"But... this is one of the absolute forbidden zones in the Emperor's Realm. Did the Master really go there?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Knowing that Su Jingzhen had no knowledge of Death Mountain, Qin Lingshuang explained, "The Nethersea is a place that few in the Emperor Realm dare to go. Even Immortal King's face great danger there. Death Mountain lies in the middle of the Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Legend has it that even Immortal Emperors face a nine-in-ten chance of death there.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Throughout the endless ages of the Emperor's Realm, only a handful of powerful beings have returned from Death Mountain alive, and none of them have spoken of what lies there.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Master truly went to Death Mountain, then finding her would be nearly impossible,"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qin Lingshuang's expression was filled with worry and seriousness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though she was at the peak of the Immortal King Realm, she had no confidence in facing Death Mountain.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Are you sure that this is Death Mountain?" Su Jingzhen asked again as she looked at Qin Lingshuang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"There is no doubt. This is definitely Death Mountain."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded. "Then that settles it. Dean Qin, you continue to manage the Winter Sun Immortal Academy well. I must take my leave."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With that, Su Jingzhen stood up.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Wait, fellow Daoist Su, are you planning to go to Death Mountain? Even though you did wonders in the Sword Land, your current strength isn't quite fit for such a place."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qin Lingshuang's expression changed slightly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But after a moment, her eyes showed determination.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If Fellow Daoist Su insists on going, then I will accompany you!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was clear that Qin Lingshuang feared Death Mountain, but her decision to accompany Su Jingzhen showed the depth of her loyalty to the Yunmeng Goddess.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Before I go, I will make thorough preparations. As for you, Dean Qin, as I said before, you should concentrate on running your academy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If I decide to go, you would only be a burden."
