Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

A weapon refiner as skilled as her...

They're sure to catch the emperor's eye!

After all, there are many powerful monsters in Peach Blossom Village, and even... even the One Core Emperor, the Frost Emperor, can only rank in the forties in Peach Blossom Village.

Princess Zijing, due to her low cultivation level, ranked last at number 75.

Six months later, Miss Nanhe broke through to become a Ninth-Rank Super-Tier cultivator in the Spirit Forbidden Zone of Four Phases State, the Splendid Mountains and Rivers.

Nine months later, within the Spirit Forbidden Zone - Flame Court, Liu Xianming obtained his third Emperor Puzzle Piece, becoming a Ninth-Rank Super-Tier Weapon Refiner...

When Lu Chan first saw Liu Xianming, he immediately noticed her extraordinary talent.

Ten years later...

In the Northern Territory, it seems no weapon refiner can suppress Liu Xianming's awakening momentum.

Meanwhile, the much-anticipated Bauhinia Princess of the North spent the next nine months in her courtyard, seemingly tinkering with something.

This made everyone wonder if Princess Zijing still intended to embark on the path to becoming an emperor and break through to the realm of emperors!

She wouldn't have fallen into depravity, would she?

During this time...

Xiao Hanye, Pei Yupao, Lu Xianhuang, even the master of the Sanyue Taojian Tower, and even the head of the Lu family in Beiluzhou all made a special trip to meet Princess Zijing.

Unfortunately, it still came to nothing.

In the tenth month, Princess Zijing slowly broke through to the seventh-level transcendental refinement stage. But you should know... the minimum standard to step onto the path of the emperor is a ninth-level transcendental refiner!

With her current seventh-level transcendent realm, she absolutely cannot catch up with the opening of the Emperor's Path.

After hearing this news.

The ultimate super-level weapon refiners in the Northern Smoke Realm were also slightly disappointed.

They had hoped that this journey along the Imperial Road would allow them to witness the legendary Princess Zijing arriving in the Northern Smoke Realm.

She's not coming this time...

Many emperors will fall into slumber again, and it will probably be thirty years before the emperors of the Northern Smoke Realm awaken.

Thirty years...

Princess Zijing is only thirty years old!

For the past thirty years, Princess Zijing has been stuck at the advanced level.

Those who successfully embarked on the path to becoming emperors and were favored by the emperors... the new batch of weapon refiners who became emperors were far ahead of her.

Even if Princess Zijing was a "miracle", it is no exception!

Miracles could not help her become an empress.

[In the eleventh month, the Emperor's Road in the Northern Smoke Realm opens]

In the Northern Smoke Realm, all the ninth-level super-rank weapon refiners have embarked on a glorious journey.

[Inside the Peach Sword Pavilion in March...]

Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl with long, white-purple hair in front of him.

Both Miss Nanhe and Liu Xianming were slightly disappointed. Nanhe gently asked, "Lu Chan, have you really given up on the path to becoming an emperor? Princess You asked me to send you a message saying that she has already gone to the Northern Smoke Realm..."

"Yes, I'm just here to see you off."

Lu Chan narrowed her pale purple eyes slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

Based on Miss Nanhe's "miracle", she is very likely to become the emperor in first place on the Emperor's Road, and be favored by multiple emperors at the same time.

As for Liu Xianming, she possesses three "Overlord Flame" Emperor Puzzle Pieces, and she may also enter the top ten.

In addition, Princess Tianlei of the Northern Territory, the demoness of the White Kingdom, and the Princess You also plan to embark on the journey to become emperor; with the new blessings of Peach Garden, Princess You still has some confidence in becoming emperor.

"Nanhe, may we meet again someday..."

He gazed at the blue-haired girl's back.

Lu Chan also showed a gratified expression. Over the years, he had finally managed to raise Miss Nanhe to adulthood.

Unfortunately, this time, even as a top demigod in his previous life, he couldn't guarantee a 100% survival rate in the Snow Sanctuary: Fairy Tale Land.

[The Emperor's Road will open in one week.]

As for what happened inside the Emperor's Road, Lu Chan no longer cared at all.

Because at this moment...

There are only ten days left until the opening of Snowy Sanctuary: Fairy Tale Village.

Over the course of nearly a year.

Lu Chan continuously infused spiritual energy into the core of the Peach Lotus. Now... inside the Peach Lotus core, the remnant flame of the Azure Beauty Rejuvenation Pill has transformed into a stream, reaching the limit that the Peach Lotus core can nurture.

"Let's give it a try."

Finally, after 11 months and two weeks, Princess Zijing left the Peach Sword Pavilion in March for the first time.

--------------

Northern San Francisco:

Curfew imposed on the Eight Underworld Kings, core area:

Inside the palace of the first district, in a deathly silence and darkness:

A young girl with long black and white hair and wearing a black and white Taoist robe is meditating with her eyes closed.

Her entire body was covered with a jumble of black and white knife marks.

On her forehead was a black and white celestial embryo.

This spirit weapon girl is currently the strongest guardian spirit weapon among the Eight Underworld Kings under curfew, and the guardian of the first district!

[Superb Dual Blades - Unpredictable Vengeance!]

Behind her...

Hidden within is a colossal stone pillar that runs through the palace and rises into the clouds.

This stone pillar was bound by countless dark purple chains, and was engraved with terrifying and obscure characters, making it seem as if it were not something from the mortal world.

The malevolent and unpredictable creature slowly opened its eyes:

"I feel like my strength is improving at a slower and slower pace..."

"In the Northern Sacred State, my strength has almost reached its limit among spiritual artifacts. Should I go to the Four Phases Alliance, or other alliances, to find new forbidden zones? I wonder if the spiritual artifacts there are somewhat exclusive... After I go, will I be able to enter the core area?"

This year, in the spirit weapon competition held by the Four Phases Alliance, almost all the top-grade spirit weapons from the Northern Sacred State were at the bottom.

And his ranking was already the best in the Northern Saint State.

"Our Northern Sacred State's spiritual artifacts aren't like those of weapon refiners, where a ruthless character like Princess Zijing could emerge... Speaking of which, on the Eight Underworld Kings' side, it seems that their most talented super-grade spiritual artifact, Jade Dao Miyin, has already been contracted by Princess Zijing?"

"If only I were a wind-type magical artifact, then I could form a contract with a weapon refiner like Princess Zijing!"

"Evil resentment is fickle," Mei Mei thought to herself.

But then she realized that she was just fantasizing. After all, Princess Zijing was already a divine weapon refiner who had been watched by the divine weapon, Overlord of the Day.

A weapon refiner as skilled as her must no longer be interested in top-grade spiritual weapons, right?

Her goal is definitely to be favored by the innate emperor!

Just then, a series of light footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace; Evil Vengeance stood up, thinking, "Which magical artifact has come to visit?"

But in the next second.

When she saw the figure appear in front of her, she froze on the spot.

She was a girl with long, white-purple hair and a pair of pale purple eyes like amethyst crystals, as beautiful as a doll.

She wore a white and purple court dress, a small white hat, and purple high-heeled boots.

Isn't this the Bauhinia Princess who was famous throughout the Northern Territory a year ago?!

of course……

Evil and Impermanence had long heard of Princess Zijing's great name!

When she was still a high-level weapon refiner, she had severely injured Di Ting You Ming, who was also one of the guardians...

The wicked and fickle one exclaimed in astonishment, "Your Highness, Princess Zijing!?"

"So you really didn't take the path to the throne!?"

"What brings you here to see me?"

"..."

“Evil and resentment are fickle, step back a little.” Lu Chan did not respond to the other party’s words. She lowered her pale purple eyelids and walked lightly to the stone pillar that stood in the clouds.

"Wait, wait a minute!! Princess Zijing, what are you doing!?"

The wicked and fickle man asked with a hint of fear.

But without a doubt...

No matter what Princess Zijing wants to do with the Emperor's remnant iron, or even steal the remnant iron that belongs to her, I will never interfere with Princess Zijing.

In front of Princess Zijing, Evil Vengeance didn't even dare to move, for fear of becoming her target.

Under her breathless gaze...

Princess Zijing walked lightly to her side, and then, a hint of tenderness appeared in her pale purple eyes as she gently stroked the head of the Wraith and the Unruly: "Don't worry, my dear child... I won't take anything away from you. On the contrary, what I'm about to do will bring you even more benefits."

"Is that so?" the Evil Vengeful Impermanence asked, somewhat stammering.

However, seeing Princess Zijing's indifferent expression, she could only obey her words and retreat step by step.

After that, she just watched helplessly as Princess Zijing walked up to Emperor Cantie.

"The Lotus Heart of the Peach!"

Lu Chan opened his small hands and summoned a Peach Spirit Core.

Then... a thick, azure flame erupted from within the spirit core, flowing entirely into the Emperor's remnant iron.

Rings of blue flames coiled around the broken iron pillars of the Eight Underworld Kings under curfew.

Before long, it wasn't just the stone pillars in the first area.

The stone pillars in the other seven areas were all surrounded by a ball of blue flame!

"what!!!"

"What on earth happened?!"

The other seven guardian spirit artifacts of the Eight Underworld Kings, along with countless superior-grade spirit artifacts, all leaped into the air... Gazing at the eight streaks of azure fire shooting straight into the sky, they instantly revealed a look of horror.

The strange changes before their eyes were something they simply could not comprehend.

Gradually, all eight stone pillars—including the one broken pillar that Lu Chan had once severed—began to tremble simultaneously.

The entire forbidden zone of the Eight Underworld Kings, which was under curfew, was shaking violently!

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

"Has something happened in the Spirit Forbidden Zone!?"

At this moment, many of the super-level or high-level weapon refiners of the Eight Underworld Kings also raised their heads in disbelief.

A sense of foreboding crept into their hearts!

At this moment, the Wraith finally realized what Princess Zijing was about to do, and she cried out in panic, "Princess Zijing, are you insane?! Are you trying to directly awaken the emperor who is sleeping within the Eight Underworld Kings under curfew?! How could such a thing be possible?!"

"Instead of treading the path of emperors, we awaken a primordial emperor here...?"

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

But at this point, the situation was beyond repair.
