"Fengqiu."
The Empress’s voice was hoarse.
Chu Yanli was taken aback, "You know everything?"
Tap tap tap—
At that moment, urgent footsteps echoed from outside the hall.
Eunuch Jin swiftly entered the hall, and upon seeing the two, bowed, "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Empress, Her Highness the Princess."
The Empress clutched the armrest tightly, her body instinctively leaning forward, "How is the situation?"
Eunuch Jin reported, "Your servant went to investigate the imperial tomb, and indeed as Feng Jinyuan said, the underground of the cemetery seems to have been hollowed out, evaporating into thin air..."
The Empress interrupted, "I asked you whether you have found Chen Mo!"
Eunuch Jin shook his head, softly said, "This old servant searched numerous times and found no sign of Mr. Chen or Her Majesty the Consort."
Boom—
The Empress seemed struck by lightning, her figure swayed, cheeks instantly drained of color.
"Your servant has already ordered Zhong Lihe to launch a thorough search, Your Highness need not worry too much, Consort Yu’s cultivation is unparalleled, with her presence, Mr. Chen will not be in danger..."
Eunuch Jin continued to offer kind words of comfort, yet the Empress heard nothing, sitting dazedly in her chair, with a vacant expression, akin to a walking corpse.
Chu Yanli snapped out of it, realizing something was amiss, her expression drastically changed.
Her figure transformed into a stream of light and swiftly vanished, flying towards Fengqiu!

Chen Mo was still unaware that shortly after he was imprisoned in the small dark room, Tiandu City had already descended into chaos.
Seated on the green bricks of the underground palace, he attempted to perceive the Ancestor Dragon Consciousness.
As the "Ancient Spirit Constitution" operated, his Divine Soul seemed to detach from his body, floating in the vast void, before him was a faintly glowing orb.
Having experience from last time, Chen Mo knew this orb represented the current underground palace he was in.
Compared to the previously envisioned Jiuzhou Continent, this realm was as minuscule as a grain of sand on a sand table.
"Heavenly stars are the essence of earth ascending, Earth Qi is the condensation of heavenly star light."
"The twenty-eight constellations revolve, representing the Five Elements’ celestial form; the Five Elements’ cycles of generation and suppression are the constellations’ earth manifestation..."
Chen Mo silently recited the [Fahrenheit Star] formula, gradually entering a mysterious and profound state.
Simultaneously, something seemed to slowly manifest in the void.
Invisible, indescribable, yet its presence was clearly felt.
Thump—
Thump—
The entire starry sky flickered, pumping like a heart, and the sensation of bloodline connection grew increasingly intense.
Only now did Chen Mo truly understand that the so-called "Ancestor Dragon’s Will" was not a soul with autonomous consciousness, but part of the Heavenly Dao’s operation.
The Six Paths Origin generates and subdues each other, yin and yang flow, life and death cycle, all having their own rules.
The Ancestor Dragon’s Will acts as an "observer," not intervening in cause and effect, not administering rewards or punishments, coldly observing the life and death of all methods, maintaining the balance of the Six Paths with an immutable will.
"No wonder Dragon Qi can temper the cost, transcend the shackles, because an observer cannot observe itself..."
"And as to why I can possess the Origin Power yet not be assimilated, probably because to the Origin, I am that higher existence?"
Chen Mo’s thoughts fluctuated, previously overlooked details surfaced, deepening his understanding of the world.
His consciousness drifted in the cosmic void, akin to a leaf boat amidst turbulent seas, carried forward by the waves.
Here, time lost its significance.
It was unknown how long had passed when a radiant star suddenly entered his sight.
The familiar surge of bloodline waves came again, awakening Chen Mo from his state of enlightenment.
"Found it!"
He chased the waves, flying towards the star.
As the distance closed, it seemed as if he penetrated an invisible barrier, the familiar mountains and rivers appeared once more.
Chen Mo had no mind to appreciate the scenery, traversing thousands of miles in an instant, arriving in the Northern Border Wasteland, gazing at the towering Red Blood Peak without hesitation, diving inside!
