Qingyao Mountain.
Beside a riverbank.
The river rushed onward, countless pebbles lining its banks. Years of washing and polishing had worn them smooth, and they glistened damply beneath the daylight.
The surrounding plants and trees were lush and fragrant, while birds and beasts roamed as they always had.
Suddenly, a fierce wind howled through the void, startling countless creatures into flight.
Red robes fluttered wildly. As ribbons and sleeves danced in the wind, a graceful figure slowly descended, wrapped in crimson energy.
Boom!!!
Sihong Qingyan had barely touched down when an earth-shaking crash came from the distance.
That bastard Pei Ling had started fighting the Demon Emperor!
Her delicate brows lifted slightly, her eyes flashing. Sihong Qingyan gave a cold snort. The interruption of her revenge had left her furious!
But now that she was inside Qingyao Mountain, the complete map of the mountain was included in Patriarch Heng Xie's inheritance. She could go look for Xun Mu and see if she could get her hands on a ready-made Primordial Body...
The Demon Emperor was fighting that bastard Pei Ling right now. He probably wouldn't notice her!
Once she had the "origin source" and her strength had greatly increased, she could go after Pei Ling for revenge!
With that thought, Sihong Qingyan formed a hand seal. She quickly confirmed her location, then moved and swiftly cast [Five Ghost Heavenly Net Escape], vanishing from sight.
Not a trace remained. Only the river flowed by with a burble, mist rose from the water, and countless birds chirped.

Nine days later.
The battlefield.
The entire land was crisscrossed with Heavenly Chasms.
Each Heavenly Chasm was a saber scar, filled with a terrifying saber intent as tangible as matter.
As far as the eye could see, the Heavenly Chasms connected to one another.
