"That dharma instrument is very likely the personal supreme artifact of a supreme being from the past. That supreme being... was once a member of the Qin family, but later left the Qin family. The name of that artifact is the Sky Seal! It is said that when that supreme being reached enlightenment, they refined the entire supreme Heavenly Tribulation into a seal. Once this dharma instrument was crafted, its power was boundless, truly one of the finest among offensive artifacts! There are hardly any supreme instruments that could be compared with it."

This guess on the message board immediately ignited the intense curiosity of countless people.

Who was that supreme being?

What sort of relationship did she have with Qin Shi? Why would her personal dharma instrument appear in Qin Shi's hands? What was her relationship with the Qin family, and why did she leave the Qin family?

What some found strange was the Qin family's attitude towards this matter, which was very low-key. No one from the Qin family stepped forward to explain it anymore.

However, eventually, someone did stand up and revealed the truth.

"That was a female sovereign!"

"Her name was Meng Fanghua. She was known as Drifting."

"She was born into an ancient and mysterious family within the Heavenly Realm. Later, she married into the Qin family, but only lived with the Qin family for three years before walking out and never returning."

"According to her era and compared with Qin Shi's age... the difference is too great, she would be too old even to be Qin Shi's great grandmother. So it's unlikely that there was a direct blood relation between her and Qin Shi. Nor is there any known record of Lord Meng leaving any descendants in the Qin family."

"But the supreme artifact, the Sky Seal, is indeed supposed to be Lord Meng's personal instrument."

Meng Fanghua!

A woman of breathtaking talent, noble and independent.

Many people have never heard her name, but those who know a bit more about the history of the Heavenly Realm would recognize Meng Fanghua's other name—Drifting Empress!

Indeed, this Meng Fanghua was the very Drifting Empress who had taught Chu Mo the Nine Lives Technique!

The peerless beauty who buried herself in the Ruins of Return!

She did not only teach Chu Mo the Nine Lives Technique, but she had also imparted the Nine Lives Technique to Chu Mo's father, Chu Tianji!

No one expected that this illustrious lady would also have a mysterious connection with Qin Shi!

Drifting Empress had a glorious life, and in her age, she, as a woman, pressed down all the male geniuses and became the strongest cultivator of her time. Moreover, her combat prowess was heaven-piercing and earth-shattering, truly astonishing.

Defensively, she possessed the Nine Lives Technique that almost guaranteed invincibility! Offensively, she could refine the entire supreme Heavenly Tribulation into an artifact, creating the Sky Seal.

Such methods were considered top-tier even among supreme beings!

If this great world had not been sealed, then she could very well have become an unprecedented female saint.

After this news broke out, a massive storm erupted on the message board. But soon, the storm subsided.

When it comes to individuals at the level of the supreme beings, even those normally audacious would take their time to ponder. The accidental exposure of this message had one benefit: most of those who were coveting Qin Shi started to hold back.

Provoking a supreme being... Although no one knew if that supreme being was still alive, at the supreme level, the manner of existence is beyond ordinary comprehension!

So who knows if it would provoke the supreme being and cause a disaster to strike?

This isn't something to joke about; hundreds, even thousands of top Emperor Realm cultivators combined might not match a supreme being. At the level of a supreme being, one simply cannot measure by the normal rules of the Cultivation Realm.

They were the transcendental ones!

Just like in a river, no matter how powerful a fish is, it can't leap out of the river and survive in the air. The cultivators in the Emperor Realm are like the biggest fish in this river; no other fish in the river can match them.

But the supreme beings, although they came from this river, have already leaped out!

Therefore, the supreme beings are transcendent beings!

In the entire Cultivation Realm, it can be said that even the most arrogant wouldn't dare to claim they could disregard a supreme being. Because that's not confidence; that's courting death!

...…

Piaomiao Palace.

An ancient mountain gate was swiftly erected.

Although not large, this mountain gate radiated an air of antiquity and was infused with various aspects of the Great Dao, constantly emanating from within.

Chu Mo began to harness the underground spirit veins of this era, and, quite by accident, he siphoned off some spirit energy from the Illusion Sect thirty million miles away… Of course, Chu Mo would never admit he did it on purpose. If asked, he would deny it.

Afterward, Chu Mo used this vast spirit energy to seal both the mountain gate and the million-mile area covered by Piaomiao Palace.

This place would be the future foundation of Piaomiao Palace in the Immortal Realm.

Then, with a thick skin, Chu Mo made a trip to Mystic Sect, cajoling an inscription for the name of the sect from the hands of Mystic Sect's Patriarch Yang Xuan, whom he had never met before.

Piaomiao Palace!

The inscription bore the personal seal of Mystic Sect's Patriarch, Yang Xuan.

Later, Chu Mo imprinted these three characters onto a large slab of bluestone, which he placed atop the highest point of the Piaomiao Palace's mountain gate.

As for the inscription written by Yang Xuan, Chu Mo sealed it with arrays, had it nicely framed, and hung it in the main hall of Piaomiao Palace.

Well, that finally completed the task.

Using materials from the Illusion Sect for the construction of the mountain gate and obtaining the inscribed title of the sect from Mystic Sect, the humble Piaomiao Palace thus brazenly made its entrance into the Immortal Realm.

Even the Demon Lord and his ilk had no idea how Chu Mo negotiated with Mystic Sect's Patriarch Yang Xuan, persuading him to gladly offer an inscription despite being well aware of Chu Mo's prior actions.

Chu Mo even claimed that on the day Piaomiao Palace formally established itself and began accepting disciples, Yang Xuan would personally attend to offer congratulations!

Such influence and face were extraordinary, and even the current leader of Elixir Sect, held in equal esteem with Illusion Sect and Mystic Sect, might not possess such clout.

But Chu Mo achieved it.

Qin Shi, sneaking a question to Chu Mo, asked, "How did you manage to do that?"

"Why are you so curious too? I feel that if anyone should be asking about this, it should be Dong Yu, right?" Chu Mo said, looking satisfied as he surveyed the mountain gate of Piaomiao Palace. He then regarded Qin Shi with a hint of surprise.

Qin Shi's face turned slightly red as she responded, "Do you think they're not curious? I'm just asking on their behalf!"

Chu Mo chuckled, then said, "Since you want to know so much, I also have something I want to ask you."

Qin Shi glanced at Chu Mo and said softly, "I thought you would hold back from asking."

"I've been holding back," Chu Mo replied. "But since you couldn't resist, why should I keep holding back?"

His words were a bit ambiguous. Qin Shi blushed and glared at Chu Mo before saying, "You go first."

"Alright, I'll go first," Chu Mo looked at Qin Shi. "Mystic Sect has a secret technique reserved for the future Patriarch only, a kind of Supreme Art that has been lost for many years. Coincidentally, I know it."

"What?" Qin Shi looked at Chu Mo in shock, exclaiming, "How could you possibly know someone else's ancestral secret technique?"

Chu Mo smiled, "I also know the Nine Lives Technique!"
