Investing in the Reborn Empress, Rewarded With 10x Returns

...

Meanwhile.

Sect Master’s Peak.

After a series of tests, the elders gathered to discuss.

At the Body Cleansing realm, she could already wield frost energy to execute a pinnacle-tier blade technique flawlessly.

Her body, tempered daily by lunar energy, possessed intense resilience. True jade bones.

Her soul was also unusually robust for reasons unknown.

"Liana’s combat prowess is easily on par with the Inner Scenery realm."

"If not for her human lineage, I would suspect she was the descendant of some divine beast in human form."

"Indeed. Born with twenty-four meridians. And she is only halfway through the Body Cleansing realm."

The elders, having lived for decades, found themselves at a loss for words. The shockwaves in their hearts refused to settle.

However.

What they didn’t know was that this wasn’t even Liana’s full potential.

She possessed the enigmatic Aurora Spark.

Her combat instincts were unmatched in history.

And she carried the wisdom of the Reborn Empress from a past life.

The elders hadn’t noticed, and Liana saw no reason to mention it.

Her display today wasn’t for show. She couldn’t care less about others’ opinions.

"I wish to descend the mountain and visit the Provincial Capital."

Liana spoke softly. Her voice was cool as frost.

The elders fell silent.

"May we ask why you are going?" the Sect Master inquired.

"A sect mission."

"Some missions can be completed within the sect. You don’t lack contribution points either."

"There must be another reason, yes?"

The elders pressed gently.

Though Liana had trained for only a short time, her strength was undeniable. At Inner Scenery realm levels, a trip to the capital shouldn’t be risky.

But better safe than sorry.

Liana remained silent. She tacitly acknowledged their guess.

The Jade Cluster Elder smiled. "If it is important, why not discuss it with us? We have lived long enough to have some influence in the province."

"If it is minor, perhaps entrust it to someone you trust? It would avoid unnecessary complications."

"I don’t..." Liana’s lips parted. She was about to say she had no one she trusted. No close companions at all.

But then, inexplicably, a certain janitor-turned-assistant flashed through her mind.

Theo. He might be trustworthy enough.

After a pause, she nodded.

"Understood."

...

Elsewhere.

On his way back from the waterfall to the Autumn Water Pavilion, Theo sneezed.

With a physique that could crush boulders, how could he possibly catch a chill?

Guess he still needed more training.

Too bad he couldn’t temper his body while meditating on the Crucible of Genesis inside his World Seed. And he couldn’t take it out either.

Body refinement would have to wait.

"Seven Forges of the Quaking Earth. I actually reached Perfection in just twenty years."

"What a pity. This technique wasn’t originally meant for the Body Cleansing realm anyway."

"Right now, I can only perfectly execute the First Forge."

Theo muttered to himself. He calculated just how much force a single swing could deliver.

Well. At the very least, it should be enough to crush someone at the Inner Scenery realm, right?

The awkward part was aside from an origin artifact he couldn’t even properly wield, he didn’t have a single decent hammer at his disposal.

Thud.

No sooner had he stepped into the Autumn Water Pavilion than the Sect Master’s carriage arrived at the entrance.

The ice block stepped down. Her gaze locked onto him.

"What is the matter?" Theo asked.
