"I believe he can comprehend the Emperor Dao Inheritance and safeguard its core secrets. Activate the taboo!"

Long Qingzhuo said directly.

Feng Cailuo scoffed. "So what if he got lucky and walked out of the Thousand Shadows Pool? It’s just one Law Secret Realm—an irregular, fragmented pocket of space-time. As for activating the taboo, can you bear the consequences? Do you dare shoulder the future of the Dragon Race? If those disciples from the Academy with ulterior motives learn our secrets, you’ll be a traitor to our entire race!"

Long Qingzhuo returned the cold laugh. "What right do you have to speak of the Dragon Race’s future? How dare you bring up traitors? You have none! As for responsibility, I will bear it all myself. It has nothing to do with you. When that Ji Yuechan was calling our people ’crawlers’ to your face, I couldn’t understand how you could still be so spineless.

You even seemed proud to be speaking with her!

Enough. I’m not discussing this with you, nor am I asking for your opinion. This is an order. Open it. Open the taboo and let my son comprehend the Emperor Dao. Let him truly understand how to cultivate his Emperor’s Qi Sword Body!"

Feng Cailuo’s breathing grew ragged with anger, her proud chest heaving.

"Fine! If you get that Ye Tianling killed, don’t blame me!"

Feng Cailuo’s entire body was trembling.

Feng Caiyi said, "Long Qingzhuo, think this through. It’s not too late to back down. No one knows what’s inside the taboo. If you unleash a calamity, you’ll regret it!"

Long Qingzhuo shook her head. "The Taiyin Ancient Tomb has already appeared. Time is running out; everything is approaching its climax. We must take this gamble to have any hope. He has come this far on his own. If I don’t help him now, I’ll have failed him as a mother.

As for death? That won’t happen."

Feng Cailuo sneered. "Sister, don’t listen to her. She’s lost her mind. Does she really think the Mirror Flower Water Moon Battle Armor, transformed from the Space-Time Mirror, can keep her son from dying? How naive! The Lord of Life Law Guardian has already shattered most of that Battle Armor’s Defense Power!"

Feng Caiyi remained silent. Clearly, she was already aware of this.

She and Feng Cailuo seemed to share an Innate Ability akin to ’Telepathy’.

"Hm? Ji Yuechan shattered the Battle Armor’s defenses?"

Long Qingzhuo’s expression faltered. She paced back and forth for a long while before flicking her sleeve and declaring, "Open it!"

"You’re insane!"

"Open it!"

"Fine! I’ll open the taboo! Let’s see how you’ll clean up this mess for that useless son of yours! Did you really think the prodigies who entered the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave were weaklings?"

Feng Cailuo’s mocking words echoed through the silent, desolate area.

Feng Caiyi responded to Feng Cailuo in her mind, ’She’s doing this because she must have sensed something is wrong with Ye Tianling, right? Perhaps all of his supposed strength is just an act. After all, Ye Tianling is very good at putting on that kind of ’act’.’

Feng Cailuo’s heart stirred. Hearing this actually made her feel much better. Without another word, she took the initiative and began to activate the taboo.

...

After the Array activated, Ye Tianling passed through a Void Ancient Gate and stepped onto a path that resembled a Celestial Road through the void.

All around was silence and darkness.

Only a misty halo of light on the Celestial Road emanated a faint, ethereal glow.

Soon, just as Ye Tianling was about to reach the end of this Celestial Road, a blood-red sword gleam suddenly appeared in the middle of the path.

"SWOOSH—"

A terrifying, desolate aura surged forward, instantly severing the Celestial Road.

"BOOM—"

The Celestial Road shattered. The entire ancient path through the void cracked, crumbled, and disintegrated into dust.

Ye Tianling activated the various Abilities within his body, attempting to stand firm in the void and press forward, but he suddenly failed.

His body plummeted downwards as if passing through a shattered region of Space, falling into a chaotic atmosphere.

After passing through the thick atmosphere, a wave of blood-red sunlight washed over him.

Ye Tianling saw an incredibly beautiful World.

Although the World was bright and sunny, and the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth was abundant, a strange, cold, and desolate aura made Ye Tianling frown.

’This is definitely not the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave! And it has nothing to do with the Ancestral Dragon Abyss.’

’It’s completely unrelated to that Earth Palace either!’

’It’s not the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave, nor the Ancestral Dragon Abyss, nor the trial Earth Palace from the War Dragon Academy... So where am I?’

Ye Tianling was completely baffled.

"Little Dragon Girl, where is this place? Do you have any information?"

Ye Tianling asked the Mechanical Heart.

The Mechanical Heart fell silent.

"A fragmented Space-Time Secret Realm... Specifics cannot be determined. This place contains an Energy Law compatible with your Sword Venerate Dominating Body. Extraction required... Currently calculating extraction method. Estimated Time: nineteen years, three months, seven days, three hours, forty minutes... Continue calculation?"

The information fed back by the Mechanical Heart nearly made Ye Tianling stumble.

’It’ll take over nineteen years just to calculate a method for extracting the Energy Law here?’

"I’d have to be crazy to let you keep calculating! Abort!"

Ye Tianling responded to the Mechanical Heart.

’If a super Intelligence like the Mechanical Heart needs so much Time to calculate, the ’Energy Law’ here is obviously anything but simple.’

Ye Tianling had a very clear grasp of the situation, and he wasn’t anxious.

’Either that woman, Feng Cailuo, plotted against me and suppressed me here, or my mother forced her hand with some special method to send me here for a fortuitous opportunity. Mother has my Soul Mark, so she must know my life isn’t in danger. In that case, her real reason for going to the War Dragon Academy... must have been to get me here.’

After a moment of analysis, Ye Tianling immediately understood Long Qingzhuo’s goal.

Combining the Mechanical Heart’s analysis that this was a Space-Time Secret Realm and that it contained a Law compatible with his Sword Venerate Dominating Body, Ye Tianling thought it over again and came to the same conclusion.

Ye Tianling took a deep breath. After passing through the atmosphere, he could finally channel his power again.

His Soul Qi surged, manifesting a Golden-winged Roc Totem. His figure soared downwards, quickly landing on the ground below.

This place was the periphery of a mountain range.

In the distance, a magnificent range of towering mountains stretched out, a spectacular sight.

Thousands of peaks stood like a forest, with cliffs unfolding like a great screen. Endless Immortal Qi coiled around the mountains, making it look like an Immortal Palace, yet an ancient, desolate, and bleak aura permeated the space between Heaven and Earth.

Lost in thought, Ye Tianling flew towards the highest peak among the thousands of mountains.

He soon arrived at the summit of that peak.

From the summit, the blood-red dying sun in the sky was clearer, yet also more dreamlike and bizarre.

Under the blood-red dying sun, beside a small wooden cabin on the mountaintop, a blood-haired man sat alone on a stone stool by the door, his gaze fixed on the crimson sun in the void.

Ye Tianling saw the blood-haired man’s face from the side.

It was as if carved by a knife, exceptionally handsome, yet etched with fine, shallow wrinkles.

Though the wrinkles weren’t deep, they seemed to hold an accumulation of his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Supreme Dao and his mastery of Primordial Runes.

Because those wrinkles, like the Primordial Runes themselves, possessed a terrifying Life Force.
