Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

The further they went, the more difficult it became, with the success rate being very slim.

Through so many generations, the corresponding Secret Techniques became more and more refined, and the hope gradually increased. Although the Secret Techniques controlled by various forces were different, they all led to the same goal.

The Supreme Secret Technique cultivated by Empress Yuanchu was similar to that of the Empress of the Moon, except hers was extrapolated from her predecessors, while the Empress of the Moon had created a new Secret Technique on her own.

Just a moment ago, she was still in a responsive connection with her soul division, knowing it was in Qianyuan Divine Province, and aware that her soul division had reached the God Refining Realm.

However, in the next instant, Empress Yuanchu felt a reaction within her body, detecting a change in her soul division—it had actually been shattered.

Before Empress Yuanchu could investigate, she discovered the connection to her soul division was cut off, deliberately concealed, which infuriated Empress Yuanchu even more.

She exerted all her effort to deduce what had happened, yet found nothing, only knowing that the last place her soul division disappeared was in Qianyuan Divine Province.

Empress Yuanchu paid a certain price to have a certain Divine Weapon of Yuanchu Mountain fully revived, aiding her deduction, but in the end, she still couldn’t deduce anything.

This hurt Empress Yuanchu deeply, feeling annoyed for the first time that her own Divine Weapons were not good at deduction.

Once calm, Empress Yuanchu locked onto her targets. Only a few of the Great Holy Land Schools in Qianyuan Divine Province possessed the means to conceal fate, obstruct her deductive investigation, and seal the countermeasures she had left within her soul division.

Empress Yuanchu suspected that her soul division had fallen into the hands of Great Holy Land Schools such as Bai Yujing, Xumi Mountain, Penglai Immortal Sect, who had Divine Weapons capable of this feat.

Her prime suspects were Heavenly Demon Hall, Xumi Mountain, and Myriad Demon Mountain. Their motives were the strongest, whereas Bai Yujing, Penglai Immortal Sect, House of Divine Armies, and the Summit of the Stars, had much less reason.

In ancient times, Qianyuan Divine Province was very powerful. Although it has declined thoroughly, the various forces of the Endless Yuankun Domain still often paid attention, having a clear understanding of the power structure of Qianyuan Divine Province.

After a moment of silence, Empress Yuanchu’s Divine Sense moved towards a certain place in Yuanchu Mountain, “Youwei, come here.”

Just like the Empress of the Moon, even in her immense fury, Empress Yuanchu would not personally address the issue. On one hand, it was due to the influence, as she did not want this matter to leak out and damage her reputation.

On the other hand, her true body could not move and had to guard Yuanchu Mountain, overseeing the Thirty-three Heavens.

Her soul divisions, found within Heaven Imperial Realm, Quasi Emperor, and Holy Abyss Realm, were all within the Thirty-three Heavens. If she were to leave, her hundred thousand years of effort would be lost, as many soul divisions developed a rebellious streak, not wanting to merge back into one with her.

Soon, a female ruler in a purple gown arrived at the immortal palace, bowing to Empress Yuanchu and respectfully said, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Empress Yuan Youwei quickly pondered, guessing Empress Yuanchu summoned her due to the earlier incident. Curiosity filled her heart about what had happened, yet she asked nothing.

“Youwei, I need you to go to Qianyuan Divine Province and bring back my soul division and the related parties,” Empress Yuanchu said.

“Your will be done,” Yuan Youwei respectfully answered.

Empress Yuanchu took out a Token and handed it to her, adding, “With this Token, as long as my soul division is within ten thousand miles, it will trigger a response.”

“You may temporarily have this Divine Weapon. Should you succeed, it will belong to you.”

Yuan Youwei received the Divine Weapon and the Token, accepted the order, and left without asking further questions.

Her heart aflame with excitement, for such a simple task, the Empress actually bestowed a Divine Weapon. Was she intent on cultivating her intensively?

As Yuan Youwei vanished, Empress Yuanchu sighed inwardly. This matter was not suitable for public announcement, so she had to entrust it to a confidant.

Yuan Youwei was a Quasi Emperor, and although she had just broken through, with a Divine Weapon of the Heaven Imperial Realm level, she was more than capable of moving unbridled in Qianyuan Divine Province.

Although she suspected those Great Holy Land Schools in Qianyuan Divine Province of foul play, without evidence, she decided to let Yuan Youwei do some probing. If even Yuan Youwei failed, she wouldn’t hold back.

Then, she would send a Great Emperor of the Heaven Imperial Realm with a Divine Weapon to blood-wash the relevant Sacred Lands in Qianyuan Divine Province. They had dared to shatter her soul division, a price not even the Sacred Lands of Qianyuan Divine Province could afford.

Empress Yuanchu turned to look towards Kunji Divine Province, her face showing a trace of complexity.

Years ago, she enjoyed watching others face setbacks, like her old rival, the Empress of the Moon, who frequently became enraged. Now it was her turn, and Empress Yuanchu was quite displeased.

She felt that she might be encountering a situation similar to that of the Empress of the Moon. Such matters weren’t easy to publicize, which could explain why the Empress of the Moon had refrained from taking significant action.

Now, the Empress of the Moon was probably enjoying the spectacle of her situation!

Indeed, as Empress Yuanchu had predicted, at this moment, the Empress of the Moon was in her imperial palace, watching the spectacle unfold, even letting out a laugh.

She didn’t know exactly what Empress Yuanchu was experiencing, but as her rival, the Empress of the Moon was very happy to see her furious.

In the past, when she repeatedly became furious, Empress Yuanchu had never missed an opportunity to provoke her. Although the Empress of the Moon was angry, she hadn’t said much as such things were not suitable for spreading.

If Empress Yuanchu found out, who knew how she would mock her? Therefore, the Empress of the Moon didn’t want this embarrassing information revealed.

Looking in the direction of Yuanchu Mountain, the Empress of the Moon’s gaze clashed with that of Empress Yuanchu’s, and upon seeing her complex expression, she felt a twinge in her heart.

Could it be that her archenemy, Empress Yuanchu, was also enraged by the same thing?
