Outside Ice and Snow City, at the Tianduan Mountain Range.
Qin Mu concealed his presence and silently placed the bronze ring in the area where the Empress's illusory figure had once thrown it. He then stood aside, ready to watch the drama unfold.
At this time, many cultivators had already gathered in the Tianduan Mountain Range. They had just witnessed the grand spectacle of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and now, they were following the Empress's trail, searching for the marks left by the ancient Emperors.
Not long after, Xue Ruyan arrived, accompanied by Ye Lingxue.
"Lingxue, look around this area. My human race's former supreme Empress must have left a bronze ring here. If fate allows, perhaps we can find it."
After reaching the location, Xue Ruyan spoke to Ye Lingxue.
"Master, did our human race really have an Empress in the past who could rival the ancient Emperors? And she was a woman?" Ye Lingxue's face was full of admiration.
Having just heard Xue Ruyan's account, she was also filled with excitement. Did such an Empress truly exist, one who could rival the ancient Emperors, and has she manifested in this era?
"That must be true. The aura, the rhythm of her bloodline, cannot be faked," Xue Ruyan sighed.
"Such a great human Emperor only existed in distant ages. If she were here now, our human race would not be suffering so much," Xue Ruyan continued, her voice filled with regret.
"If I can become an Emperor, reach the pinnacle of the ultimate path, I will protect the human race for millennia, ensuring that we stand strong among the great races, never again to be oppressed or enslaved by others!"
Ye Lingxue clenched her fists, her gaze firm.
What cultivator doesn't want to reach the peak and witness the glory of the highest realms? But for Ye Lingxue, she also wanted to protect her people, ensuring that they no longer suffer insults and oppression.
The human race must become stronger!
However, after making such a grand vow in her heart, Ye Lingxue could only sigh and begin searching around as instructed by her Master.
After all, the legendary supreme realm was still too distant for her, and with her ordinary talent, reaching such a legendary state would be nearly impossible.
Originally, Ye Lingxue hadn't expected to find anything left by the legendary Empress of the human race. But at a certain moment, she suddenly froze.
Her gaze locked onto a particular spot, and a look of disbelief appeared on her delicate face.
There, a bronze ring, ancient in appearance, lay quietly.
This… this is the bronze ring Master mentioned?
Her heart raced, and she quickly called for Xue Ruyan as she walked over to pick up the bronze ring.
"Lingxue, you actually found it!" Hearing Ye Lingxue's call, Xue Ruyan rushed over.
When she saw the bronze ring in Ye Lingxue's hands, her heart also began to beat faster. She could sense that this bronze ring was indeed left by the legendary human Empress!
"Lingxue, try infusing a bit of spiritual energy into the ring," Xue Ruyan said after seeing that Ye Lingxue hadn't discovered anything yet.
"Okay."
Following Xue Ruyan's instructions, Ye Lingxue cautiously infused a bit of spiritual energy into the bronze ring.
An astonishing change occurred.
The bronze ring began to glow, emitting strands of celestial light that illuminated the surroundings. Ye Lingxue felt as though all her spiritual energy was being drawn into the ring.
"Lingxue!"
Xue Ruyan was startled and quickly reached out to grab Ye Lingxue. But in the next moment, both of them flickered and vanished from their spot.
At the same time, the space began to ripple, and a spatial passage slowly formed. The waves of spatial energy spread outward, like bait, attracting cultivators from all directions.
In an instant, many cultivators who had been searching nearby felt the spatial fluctuation and were immediately drawn to it.
Upon seeing the spatial passage and the floating bronze ring above it, the cultivators were shocked.
The bronze ring… it's really here!
And there's a spatial passage!
Could this be the creation left behind by the ancient supreme Emperor?
Realizing this, no cultivators hesitated. They all rushed into the spatial passage.
...
"You have received Awe Points +15 from Li Chenqiu!"
"You have received Awe Points +50 from Gu Dong!"
"You have received Awe Points +100 from Wan Wufeng!"
The cultivators poured into the spatial passage like a tide, and Qin Mu's Awe Points continued to rise steadily.
However, given that the shock caused by this spatial passage couldn't compare to the previous Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, the speed at which Qin Mu's Awe Points increased wasn't very fast.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
This was only the beginning. The real rewards were still to come!
"The show is about to begin," Qin Mu said, as he sat leisurely under an ancient tree, closing his eyes and preparing to watch the unfolding events.
He didn't need to enter the secret realm himself. A wisp of his divine soul was all it took to know everything happening inside.
The Terrifying Emperor's Inheritance Secret Realm.
When Xue Ruyan and Ye Lingxue regained consciousness, they found themselves standing in an ancient corridor.
On either side of the corridor were stone carvings, each one etched with just a few strokes but perfectly capturing the essence of their subjects.
"Where is this?" Ye Lingxue asked, looking around in awe.
"This must be a secret realm. I don't know if it was left by the legendary Empress of the human race, but it certainly has something to do with her," Xue Ruyan guessed as she exhaled softly.
"These stone carvings seem to record something," Ye Lingxue said, turning her gaze toward the first carving.
A young boy, walking away with his back turned, while behind him, a small girl, exquisitely sculpted, was running toward him, her face full of joy and happiness.
At first, the carvings were just stone etchings. But as Ye Lingxue focused her mind, there was a loud rumble, and the surroundings changed drastically. The carvings seemed to come alive, vividly presenting the scenes right before her eyes!
Xue Ruyan and Ye Lingxue shared a similar experience. Their minds were shaken, and the scenes from the stone carvings unfolded before them. The images not only revealed a hidden chapter of history but also stirred up massive waves in their hearts!
They saw… the rise of an unparalleled human ancient Emperor!
It was a path of solitude.
A path stained with blood.
And yet… it was a path that illuminated the heavens, shining throughout the ages—an invincible path!
