Xu Zimei knew.

The North Polar Ancestor would definitely have someone monitor him.

But how could he be someone others could surveil.

In his perception, the positions of several people around him were instantly discovered.

He extinguished the candle in the room, and everything fell into darkness.

Then he was seen tearing the void before him.

The next moment, he appeared in front of a palace of the Jade Maiden Palace.

He looked at the direction.

Wanting to see the center of this island.

The Jade Maiden Palace was vast, and Xu Zimei spent the whole night exploring.

Yet he found no clues.

Moreover, he couldn’t find the reason why the Jade Maiden Palace could enjoy eternal spring.

This puzzled him quite a bit.

Helpless, as dawn was approaching, he returned to the room.

Liu Xuer had come to find him.

She said some words of comfort to him.

Telling him to rest assured while recuperating here, and that the North Polar Ancestor had left to ally with the other four major forces.

Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

Given the North Polar Ancestor’s degree of vigilance towards him, he should not be so at ease leaving.

Leaving him here.

Could it be that the other party was not worried about his ulterior motives?

Xu Zimei’s feelings grew increasingly complicated.

Liu Xuer, being the Saintess, certainly would not want to tell Xu Zimei anything.

Thus, Xu Zimei could only set his sights on Wang Xiang, who had been sent to him yesterday.

By lunchtime, Wang Xiang indeed came to see him.

It was unknown whether the outside world or Xu Zimei was the attraction.

"Young Master Xu, quickly tell me.

What happened after you entered that burial ground?”

Xu Zimei didn’t mind going through the trouble.

Inventing wildly, he spoke to the astonished Wang Xiang incessantly.

"The outside world is truly fascinating.”

She sighed.

Her expression darkened, saying, “Unfortunately, I’ll never be able to leave.”

"Why must you be so discouraged, Xianger?

I can take you out,” Xu Zimei said.

He now even called her Xianger.

For the sake of information, Xu Zimei felt somewhat insincere.

"No, this would violate the palace rules.

If discovered, not only would I be punished.

I’m afraid it would implicate you,” Wang Xiang replied.

"That’s true, but how can the scenery of the Great Wilderness compare to your Jade Maiden Palace?” Xu Zimei said.

"At times, I do envy this place.

Eternal spring, birds singing, and flowers blooming.”

"No matter how beautiful the scenery, seeing too much can also lead to boredom,” Wang Xiang said.

"But I am quite curious, how does your Jade Maiden Palace manage to maintain eternal spring,” Xu Zimei suddenly asked.

"This…,” Wang Xiang hesitated.

"Sister Xiang need not be troubled, if you don’t trust me, then don’t say it,” Xu Zimei said with a bitter smile.

"Young Master Xu misunderstood, in fact, I’m not very clear either.”

Wang Xiang quickly explained.

"I’ve only heard it mentioned by seniors.

Our Jade Maiden Palace seems to be located at the center of the Great Wilderness.

A mysterious force can resist the Barren rule, so we remain unaffected here.”

"Sister Xiang does not wish to tell, so be it, why deceive me,” Xu Zimei sighed and shook his head.

"The entire Great Wilderness is enveloped in the Barren rule.

What could possibly resist it?”

"It seems to be a tree, but I cannot be certain,” Wang Xiang replied.

"Forget it, it’s no use mentioning,” Xu Zimei waved his hand.

"The scenery here is nice, why don’t we go for a walk together.”

"That would be fine,” Wang Xiang nodded.

"By the way, do you have any forbidden areas in this Jade Maiden Palace?

Places that are off-limits.

So I don’t wander wrongly and cause trouble,” Xu Zimei inquired.

"The places where the ancestral masters reside, you must not go recklessly.

But that side is guarded by senior sisters, if you go, you will be driven out.”

Wang Xiang smiled.

"Also, you cannot visit our ancestral tombs.

That is where the ancestral masters are buried.”

Xu Zimei nodded.

He memorized all this internally.

He’s now eighty percent sure that the Barren Tree is within the Jade Maiden Palace.

Though the people of Jade Maiden Palace seem to like calling this place Origin Desolate Island.

Xu Zimei decided that the first place to investigate would be the tombs.

To prevent Wang Xiang from getting suspicious.

He played with her for most of the day before sending her away.

While exploring during the day, he had memorized the key locations of the Jade Maiden Palace.

By dusk, he left the courtyard.

The Jade Maiden Palace’s tombs were exceptionally luxurious.

Located at the center of the Jade Maiden Palace.

It was an unusually large cemetery.

There were hundreds of tombstones here.

Only a few dozen people had the qualification to have a cemetery.

The cemeteries were built with glazed gemstones, surrounded by floral scents and ancient trees soaring to Cang Tian.

Although this cemetery area was a Forbidden Land.

No one was guarding it.

This allowed Xu Zimei to enter easily.

"Such dense Barrenness,” Xu Zimei felt different upon entering.

According to Wang Xiang, there was a special force within the Jade Maiden Palace that isolated everything.

This allowed the place to enjoy eternal spring, unaffected by the Barrenness.

But within this tomb, the Barrenness was dense.

Xu Zimei felt that he had come to the right place.

Despite the barrenness, the vegetation thrived.

He began to look among the tombstones and in the cemetery.

"Thirteenth Generation Ancestral Master, the Tomb of Ice Phoenix Ancestor.”

"Twenty-seventh Generation Ancestral Master, the Tomb of Carp Ascending Immortal.”

"Seventh Generation Ancestral Master, the Tomb of Ancestral Master Qianxi.”

Xu Zimei looked at them one by one.

Finally, his figure stopped in front of a cemetery.

It read: “First Generation Ancestral Master, the Tomb of Pouring Immortal Ancestor.”

This cemetery was solemn.

There was not a single weed around, indicating frequent maintenance.

Most importantly, Xu Zimei could sense.

All the Barrenness seemed to emanate from this cemetery as the center.

"Let’s go in and take a look,” Xu Zimei thought for a moment and finally walked in.

Upon entering, Xu Zimei discovered that the interior was beyond his imagination.

It was a lush forest.

The forest was verdant; he could not find the location of the grave.

Just then, the void suddenly fluctuated.

A grand door appeared before Xu Zimei’s eyes.

"Why don’t you come in for a drink, young friend?”

A voice echoed.

Xu Zimei could not sense the other person’s location.

But with the door right in front, Xu Zimei had no hesitation, walking straight in.

The next moment, the world turned upside down.

His figure now stood at the forest center.

In front of him was a tombstone and a house.

There was a man sitting at the pavilion in front of the house.

Holding a wine pot in his hand.

His white hair fell down as he drank intently.

Xu Zimei looked at him.

Powerful.

The power within the man was like stagnant water.

Though unnoticeable now.

But he knew when this stagnant water surged, it could overturn everything.

"Who are you?” Xu Zimei asked.
