119: Chapter 119 The fierce winds within the Valley of Immortality have dissipated!

Luo Qinghe stepped into the study, her gaze also falling upon Leng Yuexi, who was seated in the main chair.

She saw the other party glance at her casually, yet it felt as if a massive boulder were pressing down on her heart. Her heart tightened instantly; not daring to be negligent, she hurriedly bowed to the other party.

“Greetings, Princess Consort Jin.”

Leng Yuexi raised her hand slightly, and a gentle current of Qi softly lifted Luo Qinghe up.

“There is no need for such ceremony. You are Rou'er's close friend; when you see me, it is fine to be more informal.”

“Rou'er has always had high standards, yet she praised you so highly. This is the first time I have heard such things from her over the years. You have made me quite curious.”

Luo Qinghe straightened up and glanced at Princess Jiang Rou beside her, saying modestly, “The Princess Consort overpraises me. I have merely read a few more obscure books and can occasionally discuss a thing or two with Lady Jiang Rou. I do not deserve such high praise.”

“That's enough, Sister Qinghe. Others might not know your skills, but could I possibly be unaware!? I invited you here today because there is something I need your help with. Come, come over here.” Princess Jiang Rou walked forward with a huff and pulled Luo Qinghe's hand.

She then led her to the desk.

“It's this. Take a look and see if you recognize the script on this?” Princess Jiang Rou pointed to several characters on the rubbing, her eyes filled with expectation.

When Luo Qinghe's gaze fell upon those characters, her whole body paused for a moment, and a flash of shock similarly crossed her phoenix eyes.

Although she did not say a word, that momentary flicker of expression did not escape Leng Yuexi's eyes. A hint of a smile flashed in Leng Yuexi's eyes; it seemed Rou'er's friend did indeed recognize the writing.

A brief silence fell over the study.

Princess Jiang Rou also noticed Luo Qinghe's abnormality and asked in a low voice, “Sister Qinghe? You... recognize these characters?”

Luo Qinghe nodded toward Princess Jiang Rou, then turned to look at Leng Yuexi.

“Princess Consort Jin!” Luo Qinghe's voice carried a hint of gravity. “If my identification is correct... the characters on this rubbing are definitely not from any script used by the nations of the current East Xuan Continent.”

“Not the script of the current nations of the East Xuan Continent?” Leng Yuexi asked curiously.

“Correct,” Luo Qinghe nodded and continued. “According to my judgment, it should be a common script used during the Ancient Era, when there were still stable passages for travel between the various continents.”

“Script from the Ancient Era?” Although Leng Yuexi had no way to verify the truth of Luo Qinghe's words, the confidence between the other woman's brows made her believe about seventy to eighty percent of it.

“Then, Miss Luo, what exactly is the meaning of the characters written on this rubbing?”

Luo Qinghe took a deep breath and pointed at the characters on the paper, her expression becoming serious. “According to my understanding, the general meaning of these characters is: The Purple Moon manifests, the Superior Envoy descends.”

“The Purple Moon manifests, the Superior Envoy descends?” Leng Yuexi's brow could not help but furrow slightly as she glanced at Princess Jiang Rou, who also looked bewildered.

“Yes, according to my understanding, the general meaning of these characters is just that. As for what the underlying meaning is, I am not sure.” Seeing both of them look at her simultaneously, Luo Qinghe could only shake her head.

“Sister Qinghe, regarding the 'Purple Moon manifests,' do you know when this Purple Moon will appear?”

“According to the celestial phenomena, it should be within three months.”

“Three months...” Leng Yuexi repeated these keywords in a low voice, and then a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

“Miss Luo, you have done me a great favor today.”

Leng Yuexi took out a token directly from her robes and, with a wave of her hand, the token landed steadily in Luo Qinghe's hand.

Luo Qinghe caught it subconsciously. Before she could look closely, Leng Yuexi's voice rang out again. “This is a Palace Access Token. If Miss Luo is free in the future, you may enter and leave the Imperial Palace at will to seek me out.”

As soon as Leng Yuexi finished speaking, she picked up the rubbing and the nameless ancient book from the table and left Princess Jiang Rou's residence first.

Luo Qinghe gripped the phoenix-patterned token in her hand, feeling somewhat stunned for a moment.

She hadn't expected that coming to Princess Jiang Rou's residence today would yield such an unexpected surprise.

With this token, she could enter and leave the Great Xia Imperial Palace at will. Wouldn't that mean in the future... she might have a chance to see that mysterious and unfathomable Prince Jin?

“Sister Qinghe, come back to earth.” Seeing her still in a daze, Princess Jiang Rou walked over and gently patted her shoulder. “It seems you've caught my Revered Master's eye. With this connection, in the future, throughout Great Xia and even the Eastern Region, I'm afraid no one will dare to easily provoke you.”

...

When Leng Yuexi returned to the Jin Wang Palace, she did not find Xia Jin's figure.

“Strange, Husband is actually not here at this time. Could he have gone out!?” After her Divine Sense swept through the entire Great Xia Imperial Palace, Leng Yuexi couldn't help but frown.

However, she was not worried. After all, with Xia Jin's cultivation and methods, there were very few people in this world who could harm him now.

“Forget it, I'll just wait here. Perhaps I'll see Husband a bit later.”

Leng Yuexi thought no more and sat cross-legged to begin her Cultivation.

Meanwhile, at the only passage connecting the East Xuan Continent and the Tianqi Continent, the Everlasting Valley was currently undergoing a change not seen in a thousand years.

This Everlasting Valley was ravaged year-round by violent gale windss strong enough to kill Land Immortal Realm Cultivators, completely isolating the East Xuan Continent from the Tianqi Continent.

But at this moment, those originally howling gale windss began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye until they dissipated.

At the Tianqi Continent end of the Everlasting Valley, at one of the exits, several Cultivators dressed in azure sword-patterned Daoist robes were stationed. They were the Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect, one of the top powers of the Tianqi Continent, responsible for monitoring the Everlasting Valley.

Suddenly, a young Disciple went behind a green stone to relieve himself as usual. Suddenly, he saw a small bird flying toward the interior of the Everlasting Valley and couldn't help but shake his head.

“What a pity, another life is about to die within the gale windss inside.”

He pulled up his pants but suddenly frowned. “Strange, why didn't I hear the usual miserable cry?”

The Disciple turned his head and saw the small bird from just now actually fly out again after circling inside the Everlasting Valley. His eyes widened, and a thought instantly flashed through his mind.

“How is this bird... how is it fine!? Could I have seen it wrong?” He picked up a stone and threw it directly forward. As a result, the stone also did not turn into powder as it usually would; instead, it fell to the ground.

“It's true... it's true!!” The Disciple hurriedly ran back a few steps and pointed at the Everlasting Valley, shouting, “Senior Brother Zhao Ke! Look quickly, the gale windss, the gale windss have stopped!”

The man in the lead, who had an honest face and was gnawing on a roasted chicken, stood up abruptly upon hearing the voice and looked toward the entrance of the Everlasting Valley not far away. He saw that the originally surging wall of wind had gradually become transparent, and he could even vaguely see the hazy mountain shadows on the other side!

His expression changed, and he threw the remaining half of the roasted chicken in his hand onto the ground, saying in a low voice, “You all stay here and keep watch! I will return immediately to report to the Sect Revered Master!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the nearby mountain range.

In less than fifteen minutes, he arrived in front of his Sect.

Zhao Ke did not dare to delay in the slightest and rushed straight toward the Heavenly Sword Hall located at the peak of the main mountain.

Inside the hall, five figures were currently seated around a sword array, seemingly studying how to enhance the array's power.

The person in the center was the Sect Revered Master of the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect—Sect Master Ling Juexiao.

Zhao Ke entered quickly and knelt on one knee with a thud. “Disciple Zhao Ke pays respects to the Sect Revered Master and the four Elders!”

Sect Master Ling Juexiao raised his head, sword shadows seemingly swirling in his eyes. Looking at Zhao Ke kneeling to the side, he couldn't help but frown. “Zhao Ke? Why are you not on duty outside the Everlasting Valley? Why have you intruded into the hall?”

Zhao Ke took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart. “Reporting to the Sect Revered Master! The gale windss within the Everlasting Valley... have dissipated!”
