Three days later, Jade Pool Immortal Palace.
Gu Han was guiding Ah Yao in cultivating the Primordial Immortal Scripture.
The little one sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, her small face tense!
Following Gu Han's guidance, she worked hard to circulate the vast Spiritual Qi within her body in preparation for Foundation Establishment.
"Master Mommy... Ah Yao feels like I still need a lot, lot more Spiritual Qi..."
After a while, Ah Yao opened her eyes in discouragement, her little mouth pouting as she looked at Gu Han aggrievedly.
Gu Han chuckled and gently rubbed her small head.
"No rush, Ah Yao is still young. Come, have a fruit."
As she spoke, she took out a fragrant spiritual fruit from the System space and held it to Ah Yao's mouth.
Ah Yao's eyes lit up and she took a big bite, her cheeks puffing out instantly.
Like a greedy little squirrel, her previous unhappiness was instantly forgotten.
Gu Han watched her innocent and lively appearance, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Since returning from the Heavenly Dome Plain, she had temporarily set aside the process of refining the Donghuang Bell and comprehending the Chaos Scripture.
She spent more time teaching Ah Yao and occasionally guided the Disciples remaining in the palace.
As for the intensifying "Yaochi Empress" stir in the outside world, although she had heard of it, she didn't take it to heart.
It was just a hollow title; she didn't care.
As long as they didn't disturb her peaceful days of teaching Disciples and raising a child, they could call her whatever they wanted.
Just as Ah Yao finished the spiritual fruit and leaned contentedly in Gu Han's arms, Fu Shan's muffled voice came from outside the hall:
"Palace Master, a woman who is not to be trifled with has arrived outside the Immortal Palace."
"A woman who is not to be trifled with?"
Gu Han's eyebrows rose slightly.
To hear "not to be trifled with" from the mouth of Fu Shan, a demon king at the Mahayana Late Stage, was enough to show that the newcomer's strength was far beyond his.
"Who is it?"
"The visitor calls herself Luo Shui and comes from the Eastern Region. She says she... represents Empress Qing Xuan and has come to pay her respects to the Palace Master."
Fu Shan's voice carried a hint of trepidation.
The Eastern Region? Empress Qing Xuan?
A flash of surprise crossed Gu Han's eyes.
That woman Qing Xuan is certainly quick to act.
I just got back, and she's already sent someone.
"Go and bring her in."
Gu Han pondered for a moment and gave the order.
Having received Gu Han's command, Elder Fu Shan did not dare to delay and hurriedly turned to fly towards the outside of the Immortal Palace.
Outside the Immortal Palace's Great Formation, Luo Shui stood quietly suspended in mid-air.
She was still dressed in a simple blue robe, her posture upright.
In her eyes, the valley ahead, shrouded in toxic miasma, revealed extraordinariness everywhere.
Those were Formation fluctuations that even made her feel a faint sense of palpitations.
"What kind of Formation is this..."
Luo Shui whispered to herself, a look of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
During her early travels across the continent, she had seen many exquisite mountain-protecting Great Formations.
But the Great Formation before her, with its exquisite complexity and the level of Dao Laws it contained, was something she couldn't see through at all!
While she was lost in thought, the toxic miasma ahead suddenly surged and parted to both sides, revealing a path.
Fu Shan's mountain-like, burly figure flew out and he said in a muffled voice with cupped fists:
"The Palace Master invites you. Follow me."
Luo Shui withdrew her thoughts and nodded slightly.
"Much obliged."
She followed behind Fu Shan and entered the path.
The moment she passed through the Formation—
"Buzz..."
An indescribable, vast Spiritual Qi, mixed with dao rhyme, completely submerged her like a warm tide!
Luo Shui's pupils contracted uncontrollably!
Such pure Spiritual Qi!
Such rich dao rhyme!
The purity of this Spiritual Qi far exceeded those top Immortal Caves in the Eastern Region, and was even better than the Secret Realms of the Qing Xuan Imperial Dynasty!
And the omnipresent dao rhyme was even more profound and obscure, as if it contained the ultimate truths from the dawn of creation.
In just a few breaths, she felt the cultivation Bottleneck that had been stagnant for a long time actually loosen ever so slightly!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Even with Luo Shui's vast experience, her heart couldn't help but be tossed by stormy waves!
She was at the ninth level of undergoing tribulation!
An environment that could make even her feel a loosening in cultivation could probably not be found in more than a few places on the entire Canglan Continent!
This Jade Pool Immortal Palace... just what kind of blessed land is it?
Suppressing the shock in her heart, Luo Shui focused her gaze forward.
After passing through the path, the view suddenly opened up.
Surrounded by mountains, a vast lake lay before her, its misty waters expansive and spiritual mist rising.
The lake water shimmered with a dreamlike seven-colored luster, and spiritual fish occasionally leaped out of the water, trailing streaks of rosy light.
