A flash of blue lightning disappeared in an instant, and a woman dressed in white, riding a blue compass, appeared out of thin air on another fragment of the celestial realm amidst the lightning.

Her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes burned with intense hatred and resentment.

Although the confrontation with Huo Yu just now did not involve actual combat, the immense pressure released by the fire phoenix and Huo Yu's powerful strength in easily breaking her divine abilities had already shocked her.

However, whenever she thought of Lin'er's face when he died tragically, all that remained in her heart was endless hatred and obsession.

The scene of her pleading with her father for the Ascension Order flashed through her mind; every word he said to her back then was still vivid in her memory.

"Qiluo, Lin'er is dead, why do you still cling to this? The Ancient Immortal Realm is extremely dangerous, even if you go there, you may not get what you want."

Luan Lin sat upright on the high seat, his expression cold and stern, but his gaze towards her held a hint of complexity.

At that time, her voice was trembling with tears, yet every word she uttered was powerful and resolute:

"Father, Lin'er is my only child, the last continuation my husband left me. He died so tragically, and if I cannot avenge him, my heart will never be at peace! I beg you, Father, to grant my request!"

Her voice was filled with sorrow, but her eyes shone with unwavering hatred and determination.

She knew that her father was always strict and often disapproved of Lin'er's unruly nature. But at this moment, she could only hope for her father's pity.

Luan Lin stared at her for a long time, and finally just sighed.

She understood perfectly well that Lin'er, spoiled without any limits, had developed an arrogant and domineering personality. Only when facing her and Luan Lin would he show some restraint and a somewhat obedient demeanor.

But she couldn't help but spoil him. Whenever she saw Lin'er's face, which looked more and more like his father's, she felt nothing but endless love and pity.

She longed to give him all the good things in the world, hoping that he could grow up safely and smoothly, and never repeat the tragic mistakes of his father.

She was well aware that Lin'er's temperament made him prone to trouble. Therefore, she strictly forbade Lin'er from going out without permission and arranged for Chen Daoling to be his protector, guarding him every step of the way.

Chen Daoling was her father's youngest disciple, and from the day he entered the sect, he harbored feelings for her that went beyond the affection between a senior and junior disciple. However, Qiluo never felt the slightest attraction to him; this was true before, and after her husband's death, it was absolutely impossible for her to reciprocate.

But in order to please her, Chen Daoling doted on Lin'er, even lowering his stance and accommodating her in every way.

Although Lin'er was unruly and mischievous towards outsiders, he only showed some kindness towards Chen Daoling. It was for this reason that Qiluo reluctantly agreed to let him become Lin'er's protector.

Lin'er lived up to her expectations, successfully establishing his foundation at the age of fifteen. His talent was extraordinary, and even Luan Lin, who was always strict with him, praised him a few times.

This child, whom she cherished and who had never experienced hardship, had his arm cruelly severed without her knowledge and ultimately died tragically in a corner she could never know about.

When Lin'er died, she was in seclusion, attempting to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Just as Lin'er's life force was extinguished, a piercing pain and inexplicable panic surged like a tide, suddenly overwhelming her mind and causing her attempt to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to fail.

However, compared to the devastating blow of witnessing Lin'er's death after emerging from seclusion, the failure to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage was simply insignificant.

Her father told her this cruel truth, and with the help of Lin'er's natal spirit tablet, he reconstructed everything that happened before Lin'er's death.

As Qi Luo gazed at the heartbreaking scenes, her eyes widened in horror, a metallic taste rising in her throat. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and coughed up blood, staining her clothes red.

She hated herself! She hated herself for choosing to go into seclusion at this time, hated Lin'er for being stubborn and disobedient, for going to find the Thunder Vine before she came out of seclusion, and hated Chen Daoling even more for his dereliction of duty, for wanting to abandon Lin'er and live on alone at the critical moment.

But the person she hated most was the one who took Lin'er's life!

She etched that utterly detestable face deep into her mind and made a solemn vow with her Dao heart: no matter where she was, she would find this person and tear him to pieces to vent her hatred!

However, this person seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving her in endless searching and despair.

Until eight years ago, a woman in the Qi Refining stage suddenly appeared in front of the Qingluo Sect's mountain gate, claiming that she had important clues about the person she was searching for, and that this information could only be revealed to her alone.

The sect members were unable to make a decision for a while, so they reported the matter up the chain of command until it reached her.

Upon hearing the news, she immediately summoned the woman, who told her that the person she was looking for would appear on the next opening day of the Ancient Immortal Realm, and even accurately predicted the time when the Ascension Order would appear.

Faced with these almost absurd remarks, Qiluo naturally scoffed at them.

Just as she was about to search her soul to see who had sent this woman to disturb her mind, the woman vanished from her sight as if she had never existed.

Even more incredibly, the day the woman predicted the Ascension Token would be issued came true without any deviation. And Luan Lin, having made preparations in advance, actually managed to intercept one of the Ascension Tokens.

The existence of the "Azure Netherworld Lamp Summoning Technique" made entering the Ancient Immortal Realm a coveted opportunity for generations of the Luan family.

Luan Lin, who had already reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm, originally intended to personally step into the Ancient Immortal Realm. He even made a solemn promise to her that he would capture the murderer who killed Lin'er alive in that mysterious ancient realm and hand him over to her for punishment, so as to relieve her hatred.

However, after Qi Luo's desperate pleas and even threats of suicide, Luan Lin sighed and finally gave her the Ascension Token.

Before she went to the Ancient Immortal Realm, the last words her father said to her were:

"If things are impossible, withdraw in time and do not be stubborn and delusional."

At the time, her answer was:

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely avenge Lin'er and then return safely."

Now, she is in the ancient immortal realm, but the vows and goals she made have not been fulfilled in the slightest.

This did not deter her in the slightest; on the contrary, it fueled her hatred like oil being poured on a raging fire, making it burn even more fiercely, as if the hatred had seeped into her very bones and become a part of her life.

"Lin'er, your mother will avenge you..."

She muttered to herself, her eyes flashing with an almost manic light.
