In the imperial study room, Ye Tianfeng looked at the bright yellow figure sitting upright on the imperial throne at the other end, flipping through some records. He was in no hurry and merely waited on the side patiently.

A short while later, Emperor Ziyue put down the records in his hands and looked up at the handsome young man standing below. “Feng’er, what is it that you have come to see me about?”

Ye Tianfeng smiled, glowing with confidence.

“Imperial Grandfather, your grandson is here regarding my engagement with the daughter of the Mu family, Mu Ruyue.”

“I know your sentiments,” Emperor Ziyue said with a frown, his complexion turning a bit heavy as he continued, “But how could I retract the holy decree I personally gave?”

With a frown, a streak flashed in Ye Tianfeng’s profound eyes. “Imperial Grandfather, shortly after the competition, my master will come in person. At that time, I will ask Master for a Heavenly Essence Pill on Grandfather’s behalf. Perhaps Imperial Grandfather could use it to break through to become a seventh-rank warrior.”

Emperor Ziyue’s heart missed a beat, suddenly feeling pumped up. God knew how many years he had been stuck in the sixth rank. Without the help of external aids, it would be impossible for him to break through.

Anyone who’d pass up such a good opportunity was an idiot.

“Ahem-hem.” Suppressing the joy in his heart, Emperor Ziyue coughed out a smile. “That being the case, I will help the Mu family’s Mu Ruyue find a husband again. It’d be equivalent to giving the Mu family an account, lest they go too far on their face. Feng’er, bring Mu Ruyue over in a few days.”

“Yes, Imperial Grandfather.”

Ye Tianfeng bowed his head obediently, but he wore a smug smile on his lips.

In the Mu Residence backyard, the young girl slowly opened her eyes and with a wave, she caught a book in between her hands.

Alchemical Book!

Mu Ruyue clutched the book in her hand, a wisp of complication filling her eyes.

Her grandpa left her this Alchemical Book before he passed away. It was also a treasure that all cultivators could only dream of. Back then, it was because of this Alchemical Book that her grandpa left the sect and founded a medical family in the secular world.

Ultimately, it was also because of this Alchemical Book that she was ensnared in the trap of an ancient family and lost her life on Changbai Mountain.

Oddly enough, her soul was shuttled to this continent opposite China…

“I wonder why the hell Grandpa left this thing behind. Even if this Alchemical Book is good, it’s nothing more than a burden when you can’t open it.”

An innocent man could turn into a criminal for treasuring a jade ring; this was something Mu Ruyue knew better than anyone else.

But right at this moment, the Alchemical Book suddenly emitted a bronze glow and forced its way into Mu Ruyue’s mind regardless of her receptiveness to it.

W-What’s going on?

Hiss!

In an instant, Mu Ruyue got a splitting headache. She clutched her head tightly, her little face painfully white.

Time passed unknowingly…

That pain gradually faded away, but up until this moment, Mu Ruyue was still ignorant of what was going on…

“That was just…” She looked at the Alchemical Book in her hand with surprise and her brows tightened. It was also at this moment that a clear breeze blew in through the window, flipping the pages of the Alchemical Book.

”HAHA~ how many years has it been? I’ve finally come out—huh? This breath… Could it be that I’ve returned to Shenwu Continent?”

A domineering laugh reverberated high into the skies.

Thereafter, Mu Ruyue saw a black figure appear in front of her.

Before her was a divinely handsome man. His angular facial features were marked by a domineering smile with arched brows and a majesty akin to a lord above the whole world.

He was the picture of a king towering above all, looking disdainfully at the mortal beings under the heavens.
