Deep in the vast South Sea.
There was an island covered in sprawling forests, isolated far out at sea as it gazed from afar toward the Nine Continents Continent beyond the boundless ocean to the north.
Because it appeared entirely green, and because the lake at the island's center was called Jade Lake, this island was given the name Cui Zhu Island.
It signified a jade-green gem.
At this moment, several figures stood at the deepest part of Cui Zhu Island, along the edge of Jade Lake.
At the forefront stood a woman. She wore a pale green gauze dress, and a thin veil covered her face.
Though her features could not be seen clearly, her graceful figure and her air of standing alone in the world like a blue lotus were enough to reveal that she was a beauty beyond all words.
What was more, she possessed a sacred presence belonging to a mighty existence above True Immortals, adding yet another halo to her.
There was only one such person in the entire Nine Continents Continent: Fairy Qing Xia, once an Academy Instructor of Moon Academy within the Sacred Hall.
Beside her stood Lu Wenbin, Tao Ze, and the others. Shu Yangyao was among them as well.
At that moment, they were all looking at Jade Lake. Black mist filled the air above it.
Immortal Dao Mountain called this black mist demonic qi, but Fairy Qing Xia and the others now knew that it was not harmful in the slightest. On the contrary, it could shield them from the influence of fate.
It was precisely because of this black mist that Immortal Dao Mountain's gaze had never been able to fall upon Cui Zhu Island, allowing those who had already stood against Immortal Dao Mountain to remain safely on
