Inside the cave dwelling, a beautiful woman sat cross-legged. She wore a crimson-gold robe, a thin golden sash tied around her slender waist. Her fair, exquisitely featured face was stunningly beautiful, her figure graceful, with full, high white mounds, crescent-like brows, and glossy crimson lips.
Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes. They were alluring peach-blossom eyes.
She then stood up, revealing long, smooth calves and snow-white jade feet with toes painted a light red, adding a touch of charm.
Her figure was tall and curvaceous, with every curve in the right place, plus her mature allure—it’s safe to say no man in the world would fail to be amazed.
The woman raised a finger and flicked. A stream of True Qi struck the stone door, and it automatically rose.
At that moment, in the city, a red beam shot into the sky. Everyone in the town was drawn to that light.
“The Great Priest has come out of closed cultivation!”
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Inside a pavilion, Qin Mu watched the red light outside the window. The aura sweeping in was actually comparable to Aunt Lu!
“It’s Master!”
Lu Shuanger’s face lit up with joy.
She immediately stood and went to the window.
“Hmph! That’s no weak aura, human boy. If this old man isn’t mistaken, within thirty years, that person will likely step into the Great Ascension Realm.”
The Divine Dragon inside Qin Mu said.
Great Ascension Realm!
Qin Mu was shaken. He glanced at Lu Shuanger. He hadn’t expected this girl to have such an impressive master, no wonder she was a little rich girl.
The Great Priest of the Gu Tribe, Chu Jiujiu, had come out of closed cultivation. First, the tribe’s elders came to pay their respects and report recent events.
Usually, it was trivial matters. But this time, something major had happened. One of the Six Great Elders, Elder Kumu, had disappeared without a trace, and now Elder Luoye had taken his place.
Chu Jiujiu listened to the reports, her slender jade fingers lightly tapping the armrest as her brows furrowed slightly. When the reports were finished, she parted her glossy lips and spoke.
“I didn’t expect Kumu to do something like this. Regardless of the outcome, we must first find out what happened to him. Alive, I want to see him; dead, I want to see his corpse.”
Her voice rang through the hall like a lark, and the elders present acknowledged.
“However, why is the Holy Maiden of the Seven Stars Sect in our Gu tribe? Has that been investigated?”
Though Chu Jiujiu had never met the Sect Master of the Seven Stars Sect, his reputation was considerable, and his temperament was unpredictable.
“Reporting to the Great Priest, according to our investigation, the Holy Maiden of the Seven Stars Sect seems to have a special relationship with Miss Shuanger.”
Shuanger!
Upon hearing Lu Shuanger’s name, Chu Jiujiu hadn’t expected it to be her own disciple who had made contact.
After the report, the elders withdrew.
Then, the Communication Jade at Chu Jiujiu’s waist lit up.
It was Shuanger.
Chu Jiujiu infused it with True Qi, and Lu Shuanger’s voice came through.
“Master, Master! I have clues about the matter you asked me to investigate!”
Lu Shuanger’s voice was excited, as she had perfectly completed the task her master gave her.
“Shuanger, well done. Come see me in a while, and bring your new friends along.”
They chatted a bit more, then ended the communication.
“Hehe, Sister Mengyu! Let’s go see Master now!”
It had been several days since she last saw her master, and Lu Shuanger couldn’t wait.
Qin Mengyu nodded. After all, the purpose of their visit here was to meet the Great Priest of the Gu Tribe.
Now they were about to meet the highest authority of the Gu Tribe, a great power about to step into the Great Ascension Realm!
Qin Mu suddenly felt a little nervous.
After a quick tidy-up, Lu Shuanger led Qin Mu and the other two to the Great Priest’s residence.
The four walked along a small path, with Lu Shuanger leading the way.
She said, “That main hall earlier is for meetings. This place is for private audiences.”
She pushed open the door.
Inside, the beautiful woman in the crimson-gold robe looked at the four, a slight smile curling at the corner of her lips, a hint of amusement in her beautiful eyes.
Her gaze first passed over her own disciple and landed on the woman in white. Sharp Sword Intent—a good seedling. Next, the woman in pink had a faint medicinal aura and the scent of pills, surely an alchemist.
Lastly, she looked at Qin Mu. Foundation Establishment Stage. At his age, that was decent talent. But why did this young man seem to have a peculiar fluctuation about him?
“These two must be the Holy Maidens of the Seven Stars Sect. I have heard of the Seven Stars Sect, but regretfully, I have never visited.”
As Chu Jiujiu spoke, she gestured for them to sit. Four cups of tea appeared before them.
“If Senior were to visit, the Seven Stars Sect would be most welcoming.”
Qin Mengyu replied politely.
Chu Jiujiu’s gaze fell on Qin Mu.
“And this young gongzi is…?”
“He is my younger brother. He rarely appears in public.”
Qin Mengyu pulled Mu’er to her side and introduced him.
“I see. I rarely travel to the Eastern Region, so I don’t know much about its affairs.”
Chu Jiujiu’s tone was gentle, without the imposing air of a high-ranking figure that Qin Mu had imagined.
They chatted for a while, and then it was time to get to the point.
“So, according to this, the one with a deep connection to our Gu tribe is Young Master Qin.”
Chu Jiujiu listened to her disciple’s report and looked at Qin Mu with some surprise. She had thought it would be one of the Qin sisters.
She had observed the stars and faintly sensed that something related to the Gu tribe had suddenly emerged in the Eastern Region, something that might change the tribe’s future.
Since she was about to enter closed cultivation and wanted to test Shuanger, she had assigned the task to her. If a life-threatening situation occurred, the contingency she left for Shuanger would activate and teleport her back to the tribe.
Being stared at by such a beautiful, mature lady made Qin Mu a bit embarrassed, a little shy.
“Young Master Qin, has anything happened to you recently?”
Chu Jiujiu asked.
Hearing this, Qin Mu nodded.
“Yes, yes!”
He rolled up his sleeve, revealing his right arm covered in golden stripes.
The moment Chu Jiujiu saw the golden stripes, a light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
“Young Master Qin, could you come a little closer?”
Qin Mu glanced at Sister Mengyu, and after she nodded, he got up and walked over to Chu Jiujiu.
A fragrant scent wafted into his nostrils, intoxicating.
Chu Jiujiu extended her jade finger and gently touched the golden stripes. With her Tribulation Stage cultivation and the Gu Tribe’s secret techniques, she sensed a trace of an aura from the Primordial Era.
The Primordial Era—a time even more distant than the Ancient Era. Legend has it that era was dominated by Primordial Beings.
Artifact Spiritualization born from the early world, Plant Spirit Transformation, plus the Primordial Beings—the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely dense.
What exactly the situation was, no one knew. Records of the Primordial Era are almost nonexistent, and records of the Ancient Era are scarce, let alone the Primordial Era.
