Investing in the Empress's junior sister, she broke through her defenses after comparison.

Chapter 1593

Inside the sealed room, a chilling wind blew, and the air was filled with the stench of blood and decay.

On the walls hung specially made glass vessels filled with all sorts of strange and grotesque poisonous insects and Gu creatures, some of which were even slowly wriggling, looking extremely terrifying!

However, Murong Qingqing's pretty face showed no fear whatsoever; instead, it revealed a look of interest!

Her gaze finally settled on an altar carved from black jade in the center of the secret chamber!

On the altar, there was a ferocious beetle with a jet-black body and two wings on its back!

"It's actually an ancient, exotic species, the Soul-Devouring Demon Gu!"

A hint of surprise appeared on Murong Qingqing's serene and pretty face as she softly said, "This Gu feeds on the souls of living beings and is extremely ferocious. I never expected that this Black Shark would be able to find a larva and cultivate it to the point of near adulthood using a secret method!"

She stretched out her slender hand, and the originally ferocious Soul-Devouring Gu, upon sensing the Gu Emperor's aura emanating from the depths of her soul, instantly became incredibly docile, flying to her fingertip and nuzzling affectionately.

"What an interesting little thing! Perfect for nourishing my Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Gu!"

Murong Qingqing nodded in satisfaction, and with a flash of light at her fingertips, she put away the Soul-Devouring Demon Gu that terrified countless cultivators.

Li Yanran, on the other hand, made her own discovery in the study of the main hall.

Inside the study, most of the bookshelves had collapsed, and countless martial arts manuals were scattered all over the floor.

Li Yanran walked calmly through the crowd, not even bothering to glance at the ordinary martial arts techniques.

As the reincarnation of an ancient emperor, her vision was incredibly high!

Finally, she stopped in front of a hidden compartment made of black iron, buried deep underground.

The hidden compartment was covered with intricate seals.

Li Yanran simply extended her delicate hand and gently pressed it onto the hidden compartment.

The next moment, accompanied by a flow of golden light, the solid black iron compartment and all the seals on it quietly decomposed under the power of reincarnation, turning into the most primitive particles!

Inside the hidden compartment lay three ancient jade slips, lying quietly.

Li Yanran picked it up and probed it with her divine sense.

"The Black Water True Technique is a water-attribute technique that directly targets the God-King realm!"

"The Three-Layered Waves Overturning the Sea, a God-King level martial skill!"

"And this, a secret map showing the locations of all the treasures hidden on Black Shark Island!"

A hint of approval finally appeared on Li Yanran's calm and pretty face.

She said calmly, "Although these techniques are crude, some of the secret arts among them have merit! They are enough to prove my Dao of Reincarnation!"

After saying that, she put the three jade slips into her bosom.

Of the five junior sisters, only Bing Xian'er showed no interest in the treasures, pills, or cultivation techniques from beginning to end.

She simply held the Ancestral Phoenix Sword, standing quietly in the center of the main hall, her cold phoenix eyes scanning the ruins as if searching for something.

Finally, her gaze settled on a wall behind the throne in the main hall!

That wall, seemingly ordinary, remained completely intact despite the terrifying aftershocks of Ye Feng's attack!

Bing Xian'er moved forward with light, graceful steps.

She stretched out her other hand and gently pressed it against the wall.

"Buzz!"

A soft cry!

Countless runes suddenly lit up on the wall, and sharp sword energies burst forth from them, shooting towards Bing Xian'er!

This is actually a powerful sword formation!

However, Bing Xian'er's face still held that unchanging, icy expression.

She simply uttered a single word.

"break!"

In an instant, an unparalleled pressure emanating from the Empress descended upon us!
