230: The Nine Heavens of Primordial Era are all at your disposal.

Xia Ziwei knelt in the warm Immortal Pool, her purple dress soaked through, outlining heart-stopping curves.

She tilted her head slightly, allowing Qin Wushang's fingers to lift her chin; her eyes, clear as autumn water, were filled with unwillingness.

"I was originally... the ruler of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty in the Qingming Heaven."

"In order to seek a Breakthrough, I carried a precious treasure and broke into a forbidden land, contending with many ancient existences for this... heaven swallowing pagoda."

Her gaze glanced at the small, grey, unassuming pagoda hovering beside Qin Wushang.

"With this pagoda, I would have had the hope of consolidating the Luck of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, and even... unifying the Taihuang Heaven to catch a glimpse of the Imperial Scripture."

As she spoke, a bone-deep hatred flashed in her eyes.

"But my own brother, to whom I was connected by blood... stabbed me in the back just as I was about to refine the pagoda!"

"With one blade, he pierced through my Dao Palace and destroyed my Dao Foundation..."

"He wanted to kill me, seize the pagoda, and usurp the throne of the Divine Dynasty."

"But he didn't expect..."

She gave a miserable smile, a fierce look flashing in her eyes.

"Since I dared to enter the forbidden land, how could I not have a backup plan?"

"I detonated my life-bound battle weapon and, at the cost of most of my Divine Soul, killed him in return!"

"But he self-destructed before dying, destroying my Physical Body. My remnant soul was sucked into the heaven swallowing pagoda and swept into the spatial turbulence... When I woke up again, I had drifted to this world and attached myself to Ye Chen's body."

Qin Wushang listened quietly, his gaze calm.

He had already looked at Xia Ziwei's panel.

Everything she said was true!

A golden panel, a golden fate, Heaven-Defying Luck, yet a life of many hardships, betrayed by a close relative, and her Physical Body completely destroyed.

"The world only knows of the Five Domains and Two Heavens; where does this Qingming Heaven come from?"

Qin Wushang asked.

This was his first time hearing the name Qingming Heaven.

Whether in ancient records or current knowledge, the Five Domains and Two Heavens were considered the layout of heaven and earth.

There was only the Taihuang Heaven and the Great Scarlet Heaven, no Qingming Heaven.

"The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth!"

Xia Ziwei blurted out, struggling to remember.

"In my era... peerless figures once deduced the future and asserted that a tribulation would descend, sweeping across the heavens, destroying everything, and restarting the era..."

"Perhaps the Primordial Nine Heavens collapsed, heaven and earth were reorganized, and in the end, only the so-called Five Domains and Two Heavens remained..."

She was very weak, her memories clearly fragmented and chaotic, and she did not remember much.

"Primordial Nine Heavens... ten primordial fierce beasts..."

Qin Wushang chewed on these words, deep in thought.

There were not many records about the Primordial Era, and the only detailed ones were the names of the powerful ten primordial fierce beasts.

"What kind of tribulation was that Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth mentioned in the deduction?"

Qin Wushang raised his hand again, using the pad of his index finger to gently stroke Xia Ziwei's soft and smooth cheek.

Xia Ziwei's soul body stiffened; she was extremely uncomfortable with such intimate touch, but she dared not dodge.

She answered in a trembling voice: "I... I cannot remember clearly."

"I only vaguely remember that when the primordial overlords mentioned the tribulation, their expressions were filled with terror; it seemed to be related to immortals and demons... I really cannot remember the specifics."

She paused and added.

"The Primordial Era was glorious, with ten thousand races standing tall."

"But after the Great Tribulation, less than one in ten of the racial Bloodlines were able to be passed down, and most of their Bloodline Power has declined, far from the might of their primordial ancestors."

"This world today... is indeed much weaker."

This was the conclusion she reached after waking up, based on what she had seen and heard through Ye Chen.

"Hum!"

Just then, from within Qin Wushang's body, an ancient, simple cauldron flew out on its own, hovering above the Immortal Pool, dripping down Chaos Qi and Yin and Yang immortal light.

That was exactly the chaos yin-yang cauldron.

"An immortal weapon!"

Xia Ziwei's beautiful eyes shrank; she instantly recognized the quality of this cauldron and was very surprised.

He actually controlled an immortal weapon.

"Go back."

Qin Wushang asked no more, his thoughts shifting slightly.

The heaven swallowing pagoda emitted a suction force, and Xia Ziwei's soul body was forcibly sucked into the pagoda.

She took one last look at Qin Wushang's calm profile and the Chaos immortal cauldron, and her figure disappeared inside the pagoda.

Qin Wushang waved his hand to put the heaven swallowing pagoda back into the System space.

He held the hovering chaos yin-yang cauldron in his palm; the cauldron body was slightly warm and emitted a brilliant light.

Mu Bingyun was coming out.

"Hum!"

The chaos yin-yang cauldron vibrated gently, and immortal light gushed from the mouth of the cauldron.

A graceful, pure white figure floated out from the cauldron, landing lightly on the surface of the Immortal Pool in front of Qin Wushang, without disturbing a speck of dust.

It was Mu Bingyun.

She seemed to have just finished a deep level of Cultivate, her body still wreathed in faint Chaos Aura and undispersed Yin and Yang dao rhyme.

Her stunningly beautiful face appeared even more hazy and ethereal in the misty water vapor, her ice-blue eyes like washed cold pools, clear and bright, looking quietly at Qin Wushang.

"Are you alright?"

She spoke first, her voice still clear and cold.

A pair of beautiful eyes swept over Qin Wushang, only to feel that his Aura was heavy and condensed, seemingly even more powerful and profound than before.

"Passable."

Qin Wushang nodded slightly, knowing what she wanted to ask, and said directly: "The battle with the Sword Demon is over."

"He was defeated, convinced, and chose to follow me; he is now a war general under my command."

As he spoke, he cast his gaze toward the distant horizon outside the Immortal Pool.

"The one fighting and killing him outside is a Prodigy from the True Dragon clan of the Great Scarlet Heaven, whose strength is not weak."

Mu Bingyun looked in the direction of his gaze, her ice-blue eyes reflecting the intense energy light and shadows in the distant sky.

She was a little surprised.

"God King against God King; the Aura of both is quite extraordinary."

"No wonder he could gain your recognition to be accepted as a war general; this child's talent in the sword Dao must be top-notch."

"That is natural."

Qin Wushang nodded.

At this moment, Mu Bingyun's figure moved slightly, appearing behind Qin Wushang like a wisp of flowing cloud.

She extended her jade arms from behind with extreme naturalness, wrapping them around Qin Wushang's waist, and gently pressed her cheek against his broad and solid back.

Her embrace was not tight, but it carried a sense of intimacy.

She seemed to be adapting to this feeling.

Qin Wushang's body paused for a moment, then relaxed, letting her hold him.

"Since we met, thank you for your care."

Qin Wushang spoke suddenly, his tone calm.

"I have a gift for you, do you want it?"

"If you give it, I will take it."

Mu Bingyun's answer came without the slightest hesitation.

As she spoke, her warm breath sprayed onto the skin behind Qin Wushang's ear.

Before the words had faded, she took the initiative to move even closer, her bright and tender red lips slightly parted, carrying awkward provocation, as she gently held Qin Wushang's earlobe and bit it with her pearly white teeth, neither too light nor too heavy.

A numbing sensation surged through his spine like an electric current, making Qin Wushang feel particularly aroused; his Adam's apple moved slightly.

"Hum!"

A jade pendant, warm and moist throughout, flew out from Qin Wushang's embrace and hovered in front of them.

This was the qiankun immortal jade obtained from Li Wuyou.

"This is the qiankun immortal jade. It contains a Small World, which can accelerate the growth of Spirit Medicine, and the flow of time within it is also different from the outside, which can assist in Cultivate."

"It is of little use to me; it is perfect to give to you."

He had planted quite a few Spirit Medicine inside, occasionally picking them to put into the wine immortal pot to refine into spirit wine.

But he discovered that growing them himself was not as fast as snatching them.

The jade pendant turned into a stream of light and fell into Mu Bingyun's slender jade hand.

Her jade hand was cool and delicate, gripping the jade pendant tightly.

Mu Bingyun lowered her head, looking at the immortal jade flowing with starlight in her palm, a faint smile slowly blooming on her stunningly beautiful face.

She raised her head, her ice-blue eyes reflecting Qin Wushang's profile, and asked softly: "Does this count as a token of love?"

As she asked, her other hand, which was wrapped around Qin Wushang's waist, began to slide down restlessly.

It was like exploring a treasure.

Qin Wushang's body suddenly tensed, then forcibly relaxed again.

He took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, and his large hand accurately caught the cool, delicate hand that was causing trouble.

With a slight force, he pulled Mu Bingyun from behind to his front.

Mu Bingyun let out a soft cry, did not resist, and fell into his arms, firmly encircled by his sturdy arms.

The Immortal Pool rippled, wetting the hem of her pure white dress, which became entangled with Qin Wushang's black robe.

The two were close at hand, their breathing audible.

Mu Bingyun looked up with that cold and stunningly beautiful face, her ice-blue eyes staring at him without blinking, clearly reflecting his slightly tightened jawline.

"Ahem..."

Qin Wushang cleared his throat, his gaze landing on her cherry lips, which were close at hand, and then moved away.

"If you say it is... then it is."

"It is yours."

Hearing this, the smile in Mu Bingyun's eyes deepened, like moonlight reflecting on an ice lake, with light flowing and turning.

She pressed the hand holding the qiankun immortal jade gently against her chest, while her other hand wrapped around Qin Wushang's neck, using a little force to pull his head lower, moving close to his ear, her breath fragrant like an orchid.

"Thank you..."

Her voice was very soft, carrying a trace of shyness.

That warm breath and soft lips grazed Qin Wushang's earlobe as if they were there and yet not.

Qin Wushang's arm circling her slender waist tightened, bringing her soft body closer to his own.

He lowered his head, his forehead gently resting against her nose, and whispered: "Fairy..."

"I am very worked up right now..."

"Tell me, what should I do, hmm?"

Mu Bingyun's ice-blue eyes widened slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

Not only did she not retreat, but she also met his scorching gaze and smiled.

Then, she tilted her head slightly, burying her burning cheek into the hollow of his neck, her voice muffled and somewhat shy.

"You..."

"Whatever you want to do, I will follow your lead."

The mist of the Immortal Pool rose silently, making the embracing figures appear hazy.
