Chapter 1743 - 1047: Spirit Master

Sui Yi noticed the pain in the Dragon Queen’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She glanced back at the Ape Queen and, upon retracting her gaze, paused on Yin Li.

Then, she followed the Dragon Queen inside, and soon, the door closed.

The Twin Emperors exchanged a look.

The Ape Emperor grinned unhappily but said nothing in the end and followed the Ape Queen out.

The Dragon Emperor glanced back at Yan Jingan.

The latter raised her eyes and said blandly, "Don’t look at me like that, your wife is alone with my beloved, your daughter is still here...whatever secret dealings you two have, it has nothing to do with me."

Having said this, Yan Jingan flicked her sleeve and turned to leave through the front door, not the back door.

The Ice Venerable did not leave, instead, he cast a glance at Ying Yuan nearby.

He was bold indeed, for he genuinely stayed behind, perhaps he had deep ties with Sui Yi and felt confident?

But not too long ago in the Rainforest District, he had murderous intentions.

——————

In the inner hall, with winding paths leading to secluded spots, Sui Yi realized that this palace located in Heaven Valley Terraces concealed mystery.

Clearly, the Dragon Queen intended to take her somewhere, rather than just to speak.

Could it be that the secrets left by the Dragon Queen lay where many constructed Tai Yuan’s main headquarters?

Soon, the Dragon Queen halted before a small lake.

She slashed her wrist with her finger.

With blood-stained fingertips, she traced on the lake...

Sui Yi’s forehead twitched slightly.

This is...

The hastily inscribed formation activated.

Teleportation Array.

This person...

"Imperial Crown, please."

The title has changed again?

Sui Yi finally displayed a slight reaction and stepped forward.

"You are from the Wizard Tribe, aren’t you?"

"Yes."

The Dragon Queen’s face showed some excitement, though subdued.

"The Li Family is descended from the Wizard Tribe."

Sui Yi said nothing but entered the Teleportation Array with her, and shortly thereafter...

Thousands of miles away, in an ancient and rustic deep mountain estate, hundreds of memorial tablets lay before them, surrounded by numerous lit candles, with a strong Fragrance of Brahman.

Sui Yi’s gaze paused, raising upwards, eventually fixed on a nameless stone tablet.

After a long while.

She softly spoke, "Your primordial progenitor was named Li Yuling, wasn’t it?"

The Dragon Queen bowed her head, knelt down.

"Li Qinglin, the ninth-generation successor of Witch Spirit Court Spirit Master Li Yuling

meets Imperial Crown."

Weak and supported by strength, she rose and saw Sui Yi lift her chin, looking sorrowfully at that nameless stone tablet.

"Your progenitor was my first disciple. When I took her on, her family was being executed for treason. I asked if she was sad; she said the world was chaotic, if born into suffering and meant to die, dying sooner or later made no difference. If she did perish, she’d erect a nameless stone for herself..."

Sui Yi paused, turned, and looked at the Dragon Queen.

"Is she dead?"

The Dragon Queen looked at the memorial tablets and softly replied, "The progenitor’s coffin is inside... She also said the Imperial Crown would surely return, seeking them out. If you saw this plaque, you’d definitely know it was her..."

Sui Yi closed her eyes—she was her first disciple, accompanying her for many years after she arrived in the Human Realm. She truly understood her...

Is she really gone?

"Take me to see her coffin."

"Yes."

In the inner chamber, the arrangement was simple: Lit candles, a spacious hall, and a Green Jasper Jade Coffin suspended in empty space.

Such specifications clearly did not match the status of one of the two main heads under the Witch Spirit Court High Priest.

Sui Yi knew this was truly Li Yuling’s coffin.

Because her first disciple was always frugal and plain, disliking luxury.

Even if the Wizard Tribe had considerable prestige, and expertise in funerals...

Yet it was a stark contrast.

Sui Yi ascended the steps, came to the coffin’s side, and lightly placed her hand on the cold yet warm Green Jasper Stone.

"Yuling..."

Moments later, Sui Yi withdrew her hand and said to the Dragon Queen, "Then your marriage to the Dragon Emperor..."

The Dragon Queen hadn’t intended to say, but under Sui Yi’s gentle gaze, she was helpless.

"The Imperial Crown is indeed unmatched..."

"After the Battle of Destruction, the progenitor was gravely injured. Having taken in the second generation ancestors, she granted them the surname Li and bestowed Essence Blood for procreation, nurturing them according to Wizard Tribe customs. Even as the Divine Race and Shura Tribe struggled within their headquarters, over time, such constraints are bound to be broken... Beneath the Dimensional Realm and Three Realms Origin, the Dragon Ape World is most unique, and upon investigation, she found the Imperial Crown’s power ring was left in the Dragon Ape World, making it crucial to establish a foothold here...

Thus, the Dragon Ape Li Family was born. Not long after, the progenitor succumbed to her injuries and fell. By my generation, the family’s bloodline’s potency began to wane, necessitating a marriage alliance with the Twin Emperors to sustain the family’s destiny..."
