"Who is Chu Xiao? Never heard of him. Can you eat him?"

The purple-haired little girl puffed out her cheeks, grabbed a medicinal herb, and began gnawing on it raw.

At the same time, a thought crossed her mind, and she opened the Ancient Book Diary.

"Let this great auntie see which Inner Academy fool has the nerve to prank me."

Meanwhile, within the Profound Earth Abyss outside a heavily guarded fortress in the northeastern Jia Ma Empire.

"Wind's Edge, Starfall!"

The woman raised the strange longsword in her hand, its surface emanating a cyan glow, while the cyan Dou Qi wings on her back beat.

Countless streams of Dou Qi surged together, turning into cyan balls of light that filled the sky before transforming, within breaths, into cyan arrows raining down ahead.

The overwhelming energy arrows made the expressions of the several men opposite her—who also had Dou Qi wings behind them—change drastically as they swiftly converged.

"Three Talents Sky Net Formation!"

A massive golden triangular net of energy appeared in the void, blocking every one of the cyan arrows.

Several breaths later, heaven and earth returned to silence. The sword-wielding woman looked around, only to find that not a single person remained on the other side. All that was left was rubble scattered across the ground.

"Whew."

After letting out a breath, the woman turned and flew toward the fortress. Along the way, she landed atop a mountain peak and absorbed wind-attributed Dou Qi to regulate her breathing.

A gentle breeze passed by, pressing her plain dress closer to her body and outlining her voluptuous figure. Her black hair, styled into an elegant phoenix hair ornament, fluttered in the wind, lending her an added air of nobility. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her expression tranquil and serene.

"I wonder how Yan Ran's matter is going."

"I only agreed because she pestered me beyond endurance. With Ge Ye accompanying her, she shouldn't do anything reckless, right?"

As the woman pondered, her beautiful eyes shifted toward a spot three inches ahead of her.

An ancient book had appeared out of thin air, floating there as it gave off a faint white glow.

A line of large characters was written upon its cover: Chu Xiao's Notes (Yun Yun's Exclusive Copy)

"Notes? Could this be cultivation insights left behind by some great figure before their death?"

It was perfectly natural for Yun Yun to make such a guess. She was one of the Jia Ma Empire's ten greatest experts, one of its few Dou Huang powerhouses.

For this ancient book to appear before her without any warning, it had likely been left behind by a peak Dou Huang who had begun to dabble in spatial power, or perhaps even a Dou Zong powerhouse.

On the Dou Qi Continent, jumping off a cliff might not kill you—it might instead grant you a fortuitous encounter that changed your fate. Perhaps she had just obtained some kind of opportunity as well.

"But why is it an exclusive copy for me?"

The moment Yun Yun took the Notes into her hand, she realized something was wrong.

If it had been left behind by a senior, how could they have known her name in advance? Could this be a plot by the Chu Yun Empire?

The next instant, the copy she touched turned into a stream of light and entered her glabella.

"Notes belonging to someone named Chu Xiao?" Yun Yun's lovely brows furrowed slightly.

She had some impression of this name. It seemed she had heard it somewhere before, but she could not recall where.

"Sealed memories?"

Her eyes flickered, and Yun Yun decided to take a look first.

Meanwhile, near the Demon Beast Mountain Range within the Jia Ma Empire lay Green Mountain Town, beside which ran a small stream.

A woman dressed in a pale white gown sat on a rock by the stream. Her willow-thin waist, slender enough to be grasped in one hand, was bound by a green sash, and she possessed a uniquely fresh and ethereal aura. Her exquisite jade feet gently stirred the water as she smiled at her reflection, confusion in her eyes.

She had never known who her father was. When she was three, her mother brought her to a small village where people made a living gathering herbs. She spent a full, happy, yet brief childhood there. Later, her mother and every villager mysteriously died. She knew the cause lay with her, because she was the only one who had survived.

Not wanting anyone else to die because of her, she began desperately studying medicine, hoping to fill the void in her heart through it. This led her to live a wandering life until she settled in Green Mountain Town a few years ago. Now, the mercenaries here adored her.

Yet she had not become complacent. Instead, she feared even more that the physical problem which had once killed her mother and the villagers would surface again.

It would be wonderful if I could solve this problem.

"Hmm?"

The woman in white's lively eyes moved as she discovered an ancient purple-gold book had appeared from thin air on her thigh.

Chu Xiao's Notes (Xiao Yi Xian's Exclusive Copy)

"What is this?"

Xiao Yi Xian reached out and touched the ancient book.

The next instant, it turned into a stream of light and entered her beautiful glabella.

After digesting the information within, brilliant radiance burst from her eyes. "Could there be a way in here to solve my physical condition?"

Filled with curiosity and anticipation, she opened the book in her mind.

At the same time, in the lava world beneath the Tagor Desert.

Medusa panted heavily, fragrant sweat dripping from her body. Her Dou Qi was in chaos, and exhaustion filled her eyes.

After her sixty-ninth attempt, she decided to follow her heart and stop trying. She would just take a look at the contents of those Notes for now.

Since the other party possessed enough strength to crush her, they presumably did not intend to harm her. Perhaps they even wanted to give her some opportunities?

"Chu Xiao, let this King see what you want to do."

Medusa summoned the ancient book and raised a hand to open it.

Meanwhile, within the Xiao Family of Wutan City, in a small courtyard with charming scenery.

The girl in the purple dress had just entered her room and sat before her dressing table when she noticed an ancient book on the table, emanating a faint glow.

Chu Xiao's Notes (Gu Xun Er's Exclusive Copy)

"What is this?"

Xun Er lowered her head to inspect it. When she saw the words on the cover, her pupils suddenly contracted, and some power within her body stirred.

The name she used publicly was Xiao Xun Er. Apart from her father Gu Yuan and the few guards he had left behind, no one knew her true identity as the Ancient Clan's young lady.

Could this thing be one of Father's pranks!?

But why use Brother Chu Xiao's name?

Could it be that Father had seen through her—

Xun Er's eyes shifted. She lightly slapped the window to one side, and Dou Qi surged forth.

The window opened, and her voice drifted out softly. "Old Ling, has anyone entered my room?"

A cloaked man knelt on one knee outside the window and answered respectfully, "Miss, no one has entered."

"Mm."

Xun Er said no more and reached out to touch the book.

She wanted to see who was behind this mischief.

With the trump card her father had left within her body, she feared no danger.

The next moment, the instant Xun Er touched the copy, it transformed into a stream of light and entered her glabella.

The pages turned automatically. On the first page were several large words: Copy Owner Rules.

After reading the rules, Xun Er had the urge to reject this copy.

"There certainly are a lot of rules. Seal my memories?"

The curiosity in her heart urged Xun Er to continue turning the pages.

Since her memories would be sealed anyway, why not look at the contents first before deciding?

"Hmm? Rebirth!"

"Possessing memories of the future."

The very first line made Xun Er's pupils contract.

If the records in these Notes were true, then this was no trivial matter.

A peak Dou Huang powerhouse had a chance of coming into contact with spatial power.

But power related to time was beyond even her father, a Late Stage Nine Star Dou Saint.

"So that's why Brother Chu Xiao's temperament and gaze changed earlier in the hall?"

"But who are these women—Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, Yun Er?"

Amid her realization, a trace of dark energy flashed through Xun Er's eyes.

Brother Chu Xiao would have great luck with women in the future~
