In the Imperial Study Room, Ye Tianfeng gazed at the bright yellow figure sitting on the dragon chair, reading the memorials, and did not hurry, standing quietly to the side, waiting.
After a while, Emperor Zi Yue put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at the handsome young man standing below: "Feng'er, what brings you to see me?"
Ye Tianfeng smiled, his entire being radiating confidence.
"Grandpa Emperor, I have come regarding my marriage with Mu Ruyue of the Mu Family."
"I know your thoughts," Emperor Zi Yue frowned, his face slightly darkened as he spoke, "But a decree I personally issued, how can it be retracted?"
Ye Tianfeng's eyes flashed with cunning: "Grandpa Emperor, in the upcoming competition, my master will attend personally. By then, I will ask my master for a Heavenly Primordial Pill for you. It might help you break through to a Seventh-level Warrior."
Emperor Zi Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became excited. Heaven knew how many years he had been stuck at the sixth level, unable to break through without external aid.
Giving up such a good opportunity would be foolish.
"Ahem," suppressing his inner joy, Emperor Zi Yue smiled faintly, "In that case, I will help Mu Ruyue of the Mu Family find another husband, giving the Mu Family a proper explanation. Feng'er, bring Mu Ruyue to see me in a few days."
"Yes, Grandpa Emperor."
Ye Tianfeng bowed his head respectfully, a smug smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
In the Mu Family's courtyard, a young girl slowly opened her eyes, and with a wave of her hand, a book was caught in her grasp. The book looked ordinary, but the two golden characters on the ancient bronze cover spoke of its unusual nature.
Mu Ruyue tightly held the book in her hand, a complex look in her eyes.
This Dan Book was something her grandpa left her before he passed away and was the treasure every cultivator dreamed of. In the past, her grandpa left the sect because of this book and established a medical family in the Mortal World.
Eventually, due to this Dan Book, she was schemed against by the Gai Family and lost her life on Changbai Mountain.
She never expected her soul to transmigrate and come to this continent opposite to Huaxia...
"I still don't understand what purpose Grandpa left this thing for. No matter how good the Dan Book is, it's just a burden if it can't be opened."
The innocent man bears no guilt; the guilty one bears the jade. Mu Ruyue understood this principle better than anyone.
However, at this moment, the Dan Book suddenly emitted a bronze-colored light, forcefully entering Mu Ruyue's mind without her consent.
This... What is happening?
Instantly, Mu Ruyue's head felt as if it would explode. She clutched her head tightly, her face turning pale from the pain.
She had no idea how much time had passed...
The pain finally subsided, but Mu Ruyue still didn't understand what had happened.
"What was that just now..." She looked at the Dan Book in her hand with astonishment, furrowing her brows. At that moment, a fresh breeze blew in through the window, rustling the pages of the Dan Book.
"Haha, after so many years, I can finally come out again. Hmm? This atmosphere... Could it be that I have returned to the Divine Martial Continent?"
A domineering laugh echoed into the sky.
Then Mu Ruyue saw a black figure appear before her.
The man who came into view was elegant and handsome, with well-defined features and a domineering smile. His eyebrows were high, exuding a kingly aura.
He seemed like the supreme ruler, looking down on all living beings.
