Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Is it another trap set by the Taoist Emperor and others?"

"No... absolutely not, even I don't know where I'll appear in the next moment, only a general direction. If the Taoist Emperor and others had such an ability, why would they need to set two traps and use these secretive methods, when they could just wipe out all of us in the Holy Alliance directly."

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Mother Empress dispelled her suspicions.

This power... is so vast and magnificent that it makes her soul tremble slightly.

This is far beyond what the previous false Taoist Emperor could achieve.

"Even if it's not the Other Shore Relics, it's definitely the most powerful Divine Object in the Cosmic Sea."

"It's not a waste of time, why not go in and investigate carefully?"

A strong thought immediately surfaced in the Mother Empress's mind.

After sensing this aura, she felt her three Dao Fruits stirring slightly.

As if something they deeply desire is hidden within the golden light.

That is evolution, transformation, a higher level of strength and realm.

Her eyes focused, and the Mother Empress no longer hesitated, immediately transforming into a streak of light entering the secret secondary space where the golden light overflowed.

Upon entering, the Mother Empress found herself standing before an incredibly vast and towering black temple.

Where she now stood was a circular plaza with a diameter of about a million meters.

The plaza was paved with a silver-white material that emitted a faint glow like stars, neither metal nor stone, forming a stark contrast with the black temple at the center of the plaza.

The Mother Empress slightly turned her head, surveying the surroundings, immediately unable to hide her expression of shock.

At this moment, she saw all the stars in the heavens.

This was an enormous star map that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, many places having changed beyond recognition compared to now, yet many places still bore many similarities, making it clear to the Ten Thousand Insect Mother Empress, her lair's location being conspicuous among them.

And in the Nihility Star Domain, a star that far eclipsed all worlds within the Cosmic Sea shone exceptionally bright.

"In the... in the Nihility Star Domain, is there really such a vast world? How could we all have failed to discover it all these years?"

"Impossible, with my current cultivation, if there truly is such a colossal world in the Nihility Star Domain, I would've certainly noticed its existence over the years."

"Unless... this world, akin to a Divine Country, has already perished."

The Mother Empress, her expression shocked, cast her gaze toward the distant black temple.

The top of the temple was designed with a hemispherical dome, with a golden orb embedded at its apex, radiating a majestic golden light.

Clearly, the golden light the Mother Empress had previously sensed was the work of this golden orb.

The myriad stars encompassing the plaza seemed close enough to pluck with an outstretched hand, while the plaza and temple appeared to float amidst the starry sky.

"Could it be by the whims of fate, that today's opportunity has indeed arrived for me."

"Have I truly found a relic of the Other Shore Cultivators?"

"So, has the decline of spiritual power within the Cosmic Sea truly been related to this lost black temple?"

As an ancient one within the Cosmic Sea, the Mother Empress held three Dao Fruits. However, like Bo Xun, she discovered over tens of thousands of years ago the issues present in her Dao Fruits.

The path was wrong, making further progress hopeless.

At the time, only two paths lay before her.

The first was to retrace the path of cultivation, abandon one Dao Fruit, and cultivate a different path.

This path was naturally a root cure, but also the most difficult way.

Even if she had that fortitude, she might not have the talent to back it up.

Even if she had the talent, could she truly reach the peak as she does now?

Even if she reached the peak, what if this path along with the other two Dao Fruits still couldn't reach a state of perfection?

Having lived for over half her life, the Mother Empress considered her greatest skill to be understanding herself.

Bold words couldn't fill the stomach, and she was sure she didn't have that ability.

Moreover, during the days she would destroy one of her Dao Fruits, she couldn't even guarantee her own safety. If this news were known by her enemies, did the Taoist Emperor and others seem like merciful people?

At that time, leaving aside the Taoist Emperor and others, even her people within the Holy Alliance might not resist the temptation to kill her quickly, and claim all she possessed.

Without cause, who would want to pin their future on a vague hope?

Without cause, how could the Ten Thousand Insect Mother Empress not want to become a strong cultivator who step by step ascends to the Other Shore on her own?

....

"Even without surprises, my lifespan doesn't exceed fifty thousand years, by which time I will be the first among all cultivators in the heavens to sit in silence."

"I've lived too long, truly."

"Now, the opportunity is before me, Chong Fankong, do you still harbor ambitions in your heart?"

"Do you want to be buried by time, or do you want to climb even higher, follow the path of predecessors, and uncover the secrets of the Other Shore?"

The Mother Empress stared blankly at the distant black temple for a long time, then she moved.

She had already understood the tyrant thoughts in her heart.

Underfoot, a cloud made of white-winged insects suddenly formed, starting to move towards the distant temple.

If she could achieve the Other Shore, it would naturally be a great joy.

Even if there's a river of blood outside, what does it matter?

As long as she can achieve the Other Shore Realm, then everything is worth it, Asna and others' life or death is irrelevant, after all, she is hidden within this secret realm wrapped in layers of Void Turbulence, sealing herself in her own domain, not caring for winter, summer, or spring and autumn.
