Wait a minute, where is my master?

Her appearance was restored.

The beautiful woman gently touched her cheek with her hand, finding that the smoothness had once again returned to its previous state, and a satisfied smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

By her side, the woman in the water-blue robe, who had just witnessed this reversal of aging, made a conscious effort to lower her head even further.

After contentedly stroking her own face for a while, the beautiful woman suddenly turned her head, a playful look in her eyes as she stared at the woman in robes and asked through a psychic message.

"Yi Rou, did you just see something?"

"To answer the Ancestor, this disciple only saw your beautiful and captivating face just now."

The woman known as Yi Rou, upon hearing the question, suddenly kneeled on one knee, her body that flowed like water, now possessed a moment of stillness.

Listening to this answer, the beautiful lady first started to laugh silently.

The next second, a mass of dark water shot out from her Phoenix Head Cane, engulfing the head of the kneeling woman.

"Heh, you clever girl, today I will take away your facial features for three years as punishment. If you dare to do such a thing again, you will relinquish this body of heavy water and join the company of those ugly monsters," the voice transmitted.

As the message ended, the dark water retracted back.

Yi Rou, the woman in question, was now slumped on the ground.

Upon closer examination, it was horrific to see that her face was now bald and featureless.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for sparing my life. This disciple will not dare to do it again... never again," she transmitted as she trembled, suppressing the urge to reshape her features with her Spiritual Power, and pleaded for mercy.

The beautiful woman did not even glance at her, putting away the Phoenix Head Cane and beginning to stir the waters at the bottom of the Deep Sea Abyss with a flick of her wrist.

In an instant, the abyss's floor became incredibly murky, and the silt on the ground was whipped into a wild dance.

The little white grasses that grew sporadically nearby were all uprooted by the force of the water and scattered on the ground.

They were waiting for the arrival of their withered fate after three breaths.

Having done all this, the beautiful woman took out her Phoenix Head Cane once again and held it in her hand, standing silently.

After the waters at the bottom of the Deep Sea Abyss cleared, her gaze swept over the white grasses that lay like weeds all over the ground, and a vindictive expression finally appeared on her face.

"Heh, now let's see how you will save your Shui Clansmen afflicted by the invasion," the beautiful woman murmured to herself as she walked towards the white net that was about to break.

Her gesture of uprooting the grass was motivated by her indignation at the disruption of her affairs and because the properties of the "Purifying World" Spirit Grass, which withered within three breaths, deeply wounded her present self.

If it weren't for the Shui Clan Elder's mysterious appearance at this place.

According to the beautiful woman's plan, she should have already used the Polluted Crystal to restore her youthful appearance, and her power should have greatly increased as well.

Why should she have to rely on swallowing the tiny shards condensed from filtering through the Demon Cores of those ugly monsters to prevent herself from aging once again?

The woman arrived before the large white net.

She reached out and touched the surging filth in the water as tenderly as if she were caressing a lover's skin.

A look of madness and obsession flashed in her eyes, as she murmured to herself.

"Ah Pin, once I let this treasure flow through the entire Nine Provinces, surely you will have no choice but to stop hiding and meet me, right? Hehehehe…"

After indulging in her mad laughter, the woman slowly lifted her head.

As her gaze landed on the tattered white net above, her expression grew angry again.

"If it wasn't for that sly old Fox Spirit from the Shui Clan suddenly causing trouble,"

"If it wasn't for the White Emperor Pearl being cracked by Ah Pin's little disciple, delaying the battle opportunity,"

"If it wasn't for that old Fox Spirit barely hanging on when suddenly, out of nowhere, a little Fox Spirit appeared...

"Hmm—But none of that matters anymore. Ah Pin, just wait for me to reopen this crack and successfully absorb all of the crystals inside. Then I can transform into the appearance you loved most when you were young.

"After that, I will find you where you're hiding and restore you to your youthful appearance. We can then live happily as a couple of Immortals in the Nine Provinces Realm."

The beautiful woman's expression changed again and again, her mood becoming extremely unstable.

Indeed.

This seemingly gorgeous yet snake-hearted and maddeningly mad woman was the Elder Pavilion Master of the White Emperor Pavilion, one of the Four Immortal Sects.

Inside the Nine Provinces Sea Eye.

This place was exceedingly quiet, gathering the Polluted Crystals produced by the Nine Provinces creatures.

During ordinary days, endless darkness was the sole monody here.

However, today, amidst this unending darkness, there was a lotus leaf emitting a pale green glow, quietly floating in a certain direction.

The lotus leaf with its greenish-white glow brought a glimmer of light to this perpetual darkness,

Which in turn attracted countless Polluted Crystals that viciously attacked and tried to erode it. It seemed as though they wished to completely devour this last bit of light to be fully satisfied.

And within this glowing lotus leaf, there were two female cultivators, one standing and one sitting.

The one standing outside was about one meter eighty tall,

She had a high ponytail on her head, an impressive figure, dressed in a light blue leather armor, two long white legs shining like a lighthouse in the dark, directing people's gazes.

As for the one sitting inside, her stature was considerably shorter. Her long hair casually draped over her pink dress, with sweat beads appearing on her forehead and neck, and in some areas, her dress was already soaked.

She looked like a lotus flower just having weathered a storm.

"I'm saying, is your method even going to work? We've been floating in this Sea Eye for almost a quarter of an hour now. The Golden Spirit White Silk Net I left at the crack is about to be breached by that Mad Woman.

"When are we going to reach the seal at the Sea Eye you mentioned?"

The sweat-drenched sitting cultivator seemed a bit impatient, suddenly rolling her eyes and questioning.

"We should be close by now. This place after all is where the negative entities produced by all of the Nine Provinces living creatures are sealed. The space is vast, and I've never been here before either. But I'm certain that the entrance to the Sea Eye's seal is just above our current direction and getting closer.

"After all, I personally saw to the burial of that green turtle clan, and I was the one who reconfigured the seal.

"So, keep heading toward that direction as I guide you.

"Currently, besides the crack where the Mad Woman is, that's the only exit..."

The standing Shui Clan Elder watched the invading Polluted Crystals with a grave expression, patiently explaining again to her companion.

But before she could finish speaking, a telepathic message suddenly entered her ears.

"Grandma, I'm here to rescue you."

The Elder turned her head and saw Yu Yaoer dressed in a gold and red silk dress, astonishingly appearing outside of the lotus leaf.
