Chapter 258

“Hmph!” Yu Yourong let out a cold snort but still explained: “The Fallen Immortal Secret Realm is located at the northernmost end of the Central Continent. It is said that millions of years ago, during the ancient era, Kunlun Realm suffered a great catastrophe.

“Before the catastrophe, true immortals existed within the Kunlun Realm! At that time, the Kunlun Realm was far more powerful than it is today! However, after the catastrophe, nearly all true immortals perished! And the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm is rumored to be the burial ground of those fallen true immortals!

“Once every tens of thousands of years, the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm opens on its own. Only cultivators below two thousand years old and at the Void Refinement Realm or lower may enter! Each time the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm opens, it ushers in a golden era across the Central Continent! Because within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm lies the inheritance of ancient True Immortals!

“It is said that our Heavenly Dao Holy Land’s founding ancestor once entered the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm in his youth. The Heavenly Dao Secret Codex was very likely inspired by the cultivation techniques of an ancient True Immortal! Even the ‘Yu Kong Seal’ in your possession was brought out from the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm!”

“I see!”

Listening to Yu Yourong’s explanation, Yang Chen couldn’t help but nod in understanding.

Fallen Immortal Secret Realm … True Immortal inheritance … He was genuinely intrigued. Moreover, without a doubt, the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm would contain fateful opportunities for Yu Zun, the so-called Son of Destiny.

Now that Xiao Dong was dead, it was time to focus his full attention on dealing with Yu Zun.

At this moment, Yu Yourong continued: “Besides the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, there’s another matter! I have only acquired fifteen percent of the Innate Radiance Essence so far. That’s still far from the half you promised me! Previously, I had Yu Xuan deliver my message to you—why have you still not acted? Could it be that you’ve learned of the mysteries of the Innate Radiance Essence and are unwilling to part with it? Do you intend to go back on your word?”

As she spoke, Yu Yourong’s beautiful eyes locked onto Yang Chen. Get full chapters from ⓝovelFire.net

Yang Chen immediately put on a solemn expression and said: “How could the Holy Lord say such a thing! To me, you are far more important than the Innate Radiance Essence! Forget half—even if I were to give you all of it, it wouldn’t matter!”

…

Yang Chen’s words made Yu Yourong’s expression freeze for a moment. But she quickly regained her composure.

A flicker of panic flashed through her phoenix-like eyes.

“You’re spouting nonsense! If you dare to speak recklessly again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Although her voice was still cold and stern, Yang Chen still caught that trace of panic in her eyes.

Clearly, Yang Chen’s words—‘You are far more important than the Innate Radiance Essence.’ Had shaken this beautiful woman’s heart.

Heh.

After all, she had been alone for over four thousand years. Plus, after two dual cultivation sessions involving their primordial spirits, she might have thought her Dao Heart remained as firm as ever. But in truth, it was already riddled with cracks.

Sensing Yang Chen’s playful gaze, Yu Yourong forced herself to appear calm and said, “I won’t argue with you, you scoundrel. Just remember this matter! The Fallen Immortal Secret Realms is about to open. It is a grand event in Central Continent. I will be attending as well. If the opportunity arises, we can discuss the Innate Radiance Essence then!”

After speaking, Yu Yourong waved her jade-like hand. The surrounding spatial barrier dissipated.

Although the two of them were in the courtyard, Yu Yourong had already set up a spatial barrier to prevent anyone from overhearing their conversation.

Now that the barrier was lifted, Yang Chen suddenly noticed that Zhan Qiuyun and several elders had somehow appeared in the courtyard.

“Yu … Holy Lord!” Zhan Qiuyun’s face was full of astonishment.

Because at this moment, Yu Yourong’s surrounding mist had vanished, revealing her true face. Her figure was voluptuous and graceful, her skin as flawless as polished jade. Her peerlessly beautiful face exuded both dignity and sacredness.

She wore a flowing white palace robe, her black hair coiled in an elegant updo, celestial radiance swirling around her, enhancing her noble and authoritative presence. Her beauty and aura made even Zhan Qiuyun feel a little inferior.

She was indeed worthy of the title Central Continent’s Number One Beauty

from back then.

In the courtyard, several elders also widened their eyes. Although they had seen the Holy Lord’s true face before, that was a very long time ago.

Ever since the Holy Maiden of that time had ascended to the position of Holy Lord, no one had seen her true appearance again.

But now, they could only marvel, the Holy Lord was truly breathtakingly beautiful. Though time had added a touch of maturity to her, it only made her even more captivating.

If the Holy Lord were to reveal her true face in front of the Holy Land’s elders and disciples. Then, the title of Holy Land’s Number One Beauty would no longer belong to Yu Xuan.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!” The elders came to their senses and bowed in unison.

Yu Yourong, however, ignored them. She only shot a fierce glare at Yang Chen with her phoenix eyes. Her heart filled with frustration—this scoundrel! She had actually forgotten to maintain the mist around her!

“Hmph!” With a cold snort, Yu Yourong’s figure disappeared on the spot.

—

“The Holy Lord truly favors the Holy Son, revealing her true face just to speak with him!”

“You must know, ever since the Holy Lord took charge of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land two thousand years ago, aside from Yu Zun and Yu Xuan, no one has seen her true face!”

“When I was young, I was in the same era as the Holy Lord. Back then, she was truly the number one beauty of Central Continent, unrivaled among all her peers. Only peerless could describe her!”

“Some lower-realm elders joined the Heavenly Dao Holy Land after hearing about the Holy Lord’s beauty, only to never see her face in their entire lives, leaving them full of regret!”

Several elders chuckled as they reminisced about the past.

Zhan Qiuyun, however, furrowed her brows slightly. Because unlike the others, she, as a woman, had keenly noticed something. Before leaving, Yu Yourong had glared at Yang Chen.

That gaze contained something strange in it. Something had definitely happened between those two just now.

Unfortunately, even though she specialized in the Dao of Space, her cultivation level was too far from Yu Yourong’s.

That old woman’s spatial barrier, even if it had been right in front of her, she wouldn’t have been able to see through it.
