At the very bottom of the system panel, a line of tiny text had appeared at some point, one she had never seen before.
[Spirit-Gathering Image Derivation]
Jiang Yuechu's brows lifted slightly.
Spirit-Gathering Image Derivation?
She tried to focus her mind on it.
[Take the essence of myriad demons, gather the spiritual grace of heaven and earth, derive an Inner Landscape, and condense it into a scroll.]
Hiss—
Jiang Yuechu couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
The explanation was only two short sentences.
But what they implied made the Grand Princess's heart pound wildly.
To enter the Mountain-Viewing Realm, one first had to view one's Inner Landscape and establish the mountain in one's heart.
Even someone like You Wujiang was trapped at this step, his heart shrouded in layers of mist, unable to glimpse its true form.

"Tsk..."
Jiang Yuechu clicked her tongue.
As expected.
The System had never let her down.
She gathered her thoughts.
Then, with a casual gesture, she summoned a passing Captain.
Seeing who had called for him, the Captain wouldn't dare neglect her.
He hurried over at a trot and bowed.
"What does Your Highness command?"
"Find me a quiet room."
"Yes!"
The Captain promptly led Jiang Yuechu to a secluded side courtyard in the rear offices.
Once the door was shut tight,
and she had confirmed that no one was around,
Jiang Yuechu sat cross-legged, regulated her breathing, and cast aside all distractions.
"Phew..."
She breathed out a mouthful of stale air.
[Would you like to spend Dao Cultivation to derive an Inner Landscape?]
"Yes."
Jiang Yuechu gave her answer silently.
Boom!!!
As soon as she did,
her Dao Cultivation began to drain away at a furious rate.
One thousand years.
Three thousand years.
Five thousand years.
Ten thousand years...
Until...
