Chapter: 146

The way to enter Primordial Profound Ark was to wait till its door opened, but Yun Che was too lazy to wait till then. Hence, he simply waved his hand and manipulated the space around the ark to open a passage for them to enter.

'Oh, she is trying to close the passage.' Yun Che smiled as he felt someone trying to forcefully close the passage. Of course, it was impossible. Compared to Yun Che, how directly manipulated the space to his liking, how can someone who uses ark to manipulate the space ever win? It was simply not possible.

'Maybe if she had World Piercer, the story would've been different.' Being of the Heavenly Treasure with power to control the concept of space itself, of course even Yun Che would find it hard to stop its power.

But for now, it was not possible for the controller of the ark to stop the invasion. So after some struggle, she gave up.

"Let's go." Yun Che snorted and entered the spatial passage. In the next second, a completely different world appeared in front of them, one fully deserted. As far as one eye could reach, there was nothing but sand and dunes. It looks like they landed in a desert.

"There's nothing here." Cang Yue frowned.

"That's because Primordial Profound Ark uses spatial manipulation to create a different world inside. What you see is not even a percent of the whole world inside." Yun Che explained. "If I take a fair guess, then this dimension is bigger than even the Profound Sky Continent."

"Woah!" Xue'er exclaimed in surprise. "That's why no one has ever been able to fully explore it."

"Yes." Yun Che nodded before he looked towards the two impossibly beautiful girls in his hands and said. "So? You guys want to explore it with me or do it yourself?"

"I want to explore it with sister Xue'er~!" Cang Yue smiled gleefully and said, making Yun Che narrow his eyes at her suspiciously.

"You are not planning anything, are you?"

"Of course not!" Cang Yue pouted. "Is Cang Yue a woman who would dare to plan against her husband?"

"I don't know… You are a woman that is very mischievous. Makes me want to give you private punishment."

"Hehehe!" Cang Yue jumped out of his embrace and grasped Xue'er's hand. "Cang Yue will make sure to take her punishment later."

Yun Che shook his head as both Cang Yue and Feng Xue'er vanished with a spatial jump.

{How are you going to find the daughter of Heretic God?} Once Cang Yue and Feng Xue'er were gone, Jasmine's sour voice resounded in his head.

{... I already know the general location.} Understanding the reason for her sourness, Yun Che tactically didn't bring the topic up.

He opened the map and used All Map Exploration to get the map of the whole Primordial Profound Ark updated. In a second, he easily discovered the sealing position of Hong'er.

He took a step forward and the surroundings changed, a huge gray gate appeared in front of him. The gate was huge, easily 20-30 meters as it floated above the ground, moving ever so slowly. In this land where no life lived, the sole door looked like an eyesore.

{This place…} Jasmine stared at the huge door and frowned. {... gives the same vibe as the Realm of Absolute Beginning.}

Yun Che nodded and floated inside, a dead city appeared in front of his eyes. It looked like the whole city was petrified, as everything was gray in color; sky, ground, houses, grass, trees, everything was gray as if petrified.

An ancient aura filled the whole city; it felt like historical ruins of an ancient civilization.

Yun Che checked the map once again to find the position of Hong'er, and started to fly there. Soon, a huge boulder appeared in front of him as Yun Che stared at it with a narrowed gaze.

"This should be it." He whispered and placed his hand on the boulder. A burst of blue flames appeared and melted the boulder away within a time less than a second, revealing a hidden passage.

{There is someone inside…} Jasmine nervously said. She was worried that the daughter of a Creation God might attack them, but seeing how confident Yun Che was, it calmed her down a little.

Yun Che silently walked within the passage until a light appeared in front of his eyes; a crimson ball of light was placed at the end of the passage, humming and releasing crimson light.

{A barrier? Don't touch it.} Jasmine's eyes narrowed. {It is built to release a counterattack to anyone unauthorized to touch it. Even with your current strength, if not dead, you will be heavily injured.}

Yun Che didn't reply. To him, it did not matter how strong a barrier was or how destructive the result of touching one would be. One of his authorities made all kinds of barriers useless to him. So if he touched the crimson ball, instead of attacking him, it would simply disappear.

"You have… finally… came…" A gentle whisper suddenly resounded within the cave, promoting both Yun Che and Jasmine to look towards the appearance of a shapeless spirit. "I… was… worried… attacked… but it seems… heaven listened… to my wish… finally."

"You are about to dissipate." Yun Che looked at the formless spirit and calmly said.

"Doesn't… matter… my wish… has… been completed." The soul said. "I feel… aura… of… the Lord… Dragon God… from you… trustworthy… are you… heir of… the Lord Dragon God?"

"You can say that. I did meet Azure Dragon God and passed his trials."

"Yes… that makes you… trustworthy. I am… but a… lingering spirit… looking for… Sky Poison Pearl… to heal the little mistress. During the war… heavens were torn apart… and the earth was destroyed… little mistress, was poisoned. I put her… in the… Coffin of Eternity… and escaped with… the Primordial Profound Ark. Eternity… looking for… Sky Poison Pearl… to heal my mistress… I discarded my flesh… and eighty-percent of my soul… this is but… a lingering spirit."

Yun Che silently listened as the soul of the old lady continued.

"I feel… your spirit… strong… just like Lord… Dragon God… your potential… unmatched… this spirit… is about to dissipate… I will… leave the little mistress… to you…"

The moment her voice fell, the lingering spirit suddenly broke into particles and vanished.

A small silence engulfed the surroundings before Jasmine's voice rang within his mind.

{Why didn't you save her? With your authority, shouldn't you be able to resurrect her?}

{She is too old to be resurrected.}

{...}

{I am joking of course.}

{This princess highly doubts that. In fact, it makes so much sense that this princess feels like an idiot for asking it.}

{I was really joking!} Yun Che defended himself. {Anyways, the reason why I didn't save her is simple; she has already accepted her death and achieved her goal. Resurrecting her would only make her suffer. In an era where all of her family has turned into fossils, it is better for her to die fulfillingly than to roam this unknown era.}

{This princess didn't take you for a thoughtful one.}

{...}

Their attention was pulled towards the crimson ball as a distinct sound of glass breaking resounded, before like a water bubble, the crimson barrier burst before shattering into small particles which further shattered into dust before dissipating into the air.

Once the barrier vanished, a coffin appeared in front of Yun Che, inside of which lay a petite little girl.

She had long hair that reached all the way to her lower back and was bright red; ruby-like sparkling red hair instead of fiery red. A face that seemed like it was carved from jade. Within its perfection, there was an immaturity that only a child would possess. A cute, exquisite nose that pointed upwards and watery tender lips, and below her similarly red eyelashes were eyes that anyone would believe to be a pair of star-like eyes if she opened them.

She wore a bright red imperial robe, but her clothes seemed to be very thin, bringing out all the contours of her petite body.

{Oh wow, this princess finally understands your real motive for coming here. Aren't you glad, Yun Che? You got yourself another little girl. For a big pervert like you, that's a year worth of celebration.}

{...}

'I should really rebuild her body…'

{Why are you standing still? Aren't you going to open the coffin and reclaim your prize?}

Yun Che released a tired sigh, problems of having harem, before he opened the coffin. The devilish poison inside the girl that slept instantly woke up, but before it could do anything significant, it was hit by an equal or stronger purification power, instantly killing it.

"Is she… dead?" Jasmine appeared beside Yun Che and stared at the daughter of the Heretic God with a curious gaze. "She doesn't seem to be breathing any longer."

"She is not." Yun Che replied as he gently removed the hair from her face to the back of her ear. Despite being inside the coffin for billions of years, her skin felt soft and smooth to touch. "Due to certain circumstances, she is no longer a human."

"Then what is she now?" Jasmine inquired, curiously.

"Celestial Spirit."
