Deep within the cave, the space was incredibly vast, filled with various natural Laws, emitting a dazzling, brilliant light.
And in the deepest part of this vast space,
there was an incredibly majestic figure, seated cross-legged.
That figure did not appear to be made of flesh and blood.
Instead, it was like a crystal, as if carved from a crystal.
Within it, countless fish-like lights seemed to be moving.
If one looked closely, those were precisely Emperor Dao Laws, natural Laws, and so on.
This magnificent crystal Emperor shadow seemed to be the Incarnation of nature, emitting the most primitive and ancient natural aura.
"This… this is…"
When he saw this crystal Emperor Body, Stone's mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
Some previously vague consciousness also seemed to begin to clear.
He remembered that dream again.
In the dream, within a magnificent mausoleum, there was a majestic figure.
It was precisely this crystal Emperor Body before him.
Moreover, feeling the pressure from this crystal Emperor Body,
this must be an extremely powerful Great Emperor.
However, this crystal Emperor Body had no Soul!
"This… could it be…"
Princess's gaze also fell upon the crystal Emperor Body, her eyes deep, as she murmured to herself.
At this moment, Stone, whose expression was somewhat dazed, suddenly murmured two words from his mouth.
"Spirit Ancestor…"
As these two words came out, a dark gleam flashed across Princess's eyes.
Spirit Ancestor!
This was no unknown figure.
Instead, he was once the leader and the strongest of the Ancestral Spirit Holy Clan.
The reason why the Ancestral Spirit Holy Clan's ranking later fell among the Five Great Holy Clans
was precisely because Spirit Ancestor had fought against a Boundary Emperor Clan expert in a Two Worlds War and ultimately perished.
But now it seemed, he had not perished at all.
Spirit Ancestor was also playing a grand game!
"Princess sister, I seem to understand something."
Originally, Stone, whose expression was somewhat dazed, his eyes gradually cleared.
Facing this crystal Emperor Body, no…
Perhaps it could be directly called the Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body, Stone finally awakened his sealed memories.
"I am the Primordial Spirit formed after Spirit Ancestor's Nirvana…"
Stone's memories gradually became clear.
Spirit Ancestor of the Ancestral Spirit Holy Clan, after a great battle with the Boundary Emperor Clan's supreme expert in the Mixed Realm, suffered severe injuries and was at risk of perishing.
Even if he could barely save his life, he would no longer be able to make progress.
Therefore, Spirit Ancestor wanted to go to the Boundary Xuanhuang Restricted Area to search for the elusive Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum.
Of course, the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum was not so easy to find, and with Spirit Ancestor's Cultivation, he could not enter it.
Finally, Spirit Ancestor thought of a method: to undergo Nirvana with his body.
He was originally a spirit-type life form, an Incarnation of natural Laws.
As long as he excluded his Soul, his Emperor body could be said to be a pure energy body, and naturally would not be rejected by the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum's rules.
Spirit Ancestor wanted to use the method of Nirvana to allow his Emperor body to enter the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum and be nourished by the Laws within it.
That way, not only might his injuries be completely healed,
but it was even possible for him to advance to a higher level, reaching a stronger Realm.
As for his Primordial Spirit, it would undergo Nirvana and transformation, entering the Xuanhuang Universe.
Later, when the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum was completely opened,
his Primordial Spirit after Nirvana would follow its innate sense and come to the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum.
It would find the remaining Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body.
Finally, spirit and body would merge, allowing the complete Spirit Ancestor to reappear.
Perhaps, he might even obtain some Legacy of the Ancient King Xuanyuan Great Emperor.
That way, Spirit Ancestor would not only recover his Peak, but also have the Opportunity to contend for the Human Emperor Opportunity.
At that time, he would become the true ruler and master of the Xuanhuang Universe.
It could be said that Spirit Ancestor's plan was truly brilliant.
And after awakening those vague memories, Stone also understood the Karma.
"No wonder I was born with the Ten Thousand Spirit True Understanding; it turns out that the Ten Thousand Spirit True Understanding is the Cultivation Technique practiced by Spirit Ancestor."
Stone completely understood.
Now, he only needed to merge with the Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body to allow Spirit Ancestor, the powerful figure who once dominated the Xuanhuang Universe, to reappear.
"Princess sister, I understand everything now, as well as the Karma between me and Spirit Ancestor."
"After this, when I have enough power, I will repay Princess sister's kindness."
Stone's eyes showed excitement, and Princess silently watched him.
Stone turned around and was about to walk towards the Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body.
And just at this moment,
Boom!
Princess directly struck Stone with a palm.
A terrifying power erupted.
It was precisely the power of Demon Monarch Origin and Married Clothes Magic Skill!
With just this one palm, Stone spat out a large mouthful of blood.
At the same time, most of the power within his body was directly taken by Princess.
His body flew backward like a broken sack, heavily crashing to the ground.
"Princess… sister!"
Stone looked at Princess in disbelief.
In fact, his current strength was not that weak.
However, Princess had suddenly attacked him when he was caught off guard.
So Stone had no defense whatsoever.
That's why he was severely injured in one move.
"He didn't die, as expected of a being left behind after Spirit Ancestor's Nirvana."
Under the mask, Princess slightly raised her Phoenix eyebrows.
Her palm strike had not shown any mercy.
But it failed to kill him in one blow, which was somewhat beyond her expectation.
However, it didn't matter; if one move wasn't enough, then two.
"How could this be? Why?"
Stone's mind was in chaos, completely unable to think.
It was as if the person he trusted most had suddenly tried to kill him.
Anyone would be unable to react.
"After Spirit Ancestor's Nirvana, his Primordial Spirit became a blank slate, but this is just right, making it easier to control."
"I should thank you for bringing this Young Miss here. I will take this Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body."
Princess stood with her hands behind her back, her tone as indifferent as frost.
Boom!
In Stone's mind, it was as if thousands of thunders were roaring.
He widened his eyes, filled with shock and disbelief.
Could it be that all of this was a trap set by this Princess of the Wangyue Dynasty?
Then that means…
"Could it be that the Demon Wind Bandits were also…"
Stone's words trembled.
"That's right, the Demon Wind Bandits were naturally arranged by me."
Incredibly cruel words came out of Princess's mouth, yet they were spoken lightly.
"You… why are you so vicious!!!"
Stone's eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
The person he trusted most before him was actually the Vicious Beast behind the murder of his villagers.
This woman was actually so vicious!!!
"Vicious, huh… Heh…"
Princess smiled, with disdain.
She didn't care how the world judged her.
She only cared about her goal.
Princess reached out with a palm, and immense power erupted.
She no longer needed to conceal her strength.
"Supreme Mystic Exalt Realm, who exactly are you!?"
Stone was shocked again.
He understood that even if the Wangyue Dynasty was an Immortal Imperial Dynasty,
the Prodigy of such a force could not be a Prodigy to this extent.
Princess did not respond, her palm descended, causing the entire cave, filled with Laws, to begin to shake.
At this moment, the Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body, which had been silent, suddenly began to tremble.
A ray of natural Law light enveloped Stone, blocking the fatal blow for him.
"Hmm?"
Princess looked over.
The Spirit Ancestor Emperor Body, like an awakened giant, surged with myriad divine lights all over its body.
Then it extended a crystal-clear large hand, carrying vast pressure, to suppress Princess.
Princess's eyes were sharp.
Just as she was about to unleash her methods,
Whoosh!
A terrifying and boundless Sword Qi pierced through the air, blocking the crystal-clear large hand.
Princess looked back.
A peerless Young Master in white robes approached with his hands behind his back, a slight smile on his lips.
"Princess, we meet again."
"It's you, Jun Xiaoyao!"
