Azure sea and azure sky, lofty mountains and flowing streams, birdsong and floral fragrance.
Above the firmament were the colorful, auspicious clouds. A majestic mountain seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, with a rainbow-colored Milky Way flowing from the cloud layer. In mid-air, seven-colored immortal cranes danced around the mountain. On the grassland was an endless sea of flowers, and what seemed like an infinite expanse of lakes and seas.
This was a cave dwelling named Langya Cottage.
The cave dwelling resembled a beautifully crafted space, more like an isolated paradise on earth.
At this moment, inside a secret chamber within the cave dwelling.
A woman in white robes sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
Her figure was slender and graceful, with long, black hair naturally cascading down to her delicate hips. Her face was stunningly beautiful, capable of toppling cities and kingdoms, as lovely as a celestial maiden.
This was none other than the famous Su Hua Fairy.
After emerging from the incomplete Heaven and Earth of the Mysterious Era, she appeared very happy, her exquisite face brimming with a smile.
Indeed.
Ever since being harassed and spied on by a fellow who called himself Chi Jiu Ye several years ago, Su Hua had been trying to find a way to catch that guy. However, she neither knew his identity nor his whereabouts. The only place she could see him was in the incomplete Heaven and Earth of the Mysterious Era, leaving her with no leads. Moreover, that guy was elusive, appearing unpredictably, making it impossible to know when he would enter again.
What troubled her even more was that, to this day, she still couldn't figure out how that guy's Divine Sense had followed her out back then.
And it had been done so stealthily, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.
This made Su Hua feel incredulous and somewhat fearful in retrospect.
To prevent that guy from inexplicably following her in again, she had long ago set up a heaven-and-earth net in this secret chamber—all sorts of formations, mechanisms, and traps, deploying almost every technique she had ever learned or understood in her lifetime.
She firmly believed that as long as that guy's Divine Sense dared to follow her here again, it would certainly come but never return.
She also hoped that guy would follow her again.
To this end, she entered the incomplete Heaven and Earth of the Mysterious Era every day. Yet, to her disappointment, since the last time, that self-proclaimed Chi Jiu Ye had never followed her out again. Even the number of times she saw him in the incomplete Heaven and Earth was few and far between.
Su Hua felt she could no longer just wait passively like this; she decided to take the initiative.
It took great effort and considerable painstaking work, consuming a large amount of spirit and consciousness, to set up a spiritual trap within the incomplete Heaven and Earth.
Although the sacrifice was somewhat significant—both spirit and consciousness, with a certain impact on her mental state—Su Hua could no longer afford to care so much, otherwise living in constant fear and anxiety was truly unbearable.
For several years now, she only dared to enter the incomplete Heaven and Earth of the Mysterious Era when she was in this secret chamber, which was set up with a heaven-and-earth net. Once she left this chamber, she didn't dare to casually enter the incomplete Heaven and Earth anywhere else, fearing that a moment of carelessness might allow that guy to sneak in again.
Since setting up the spiritual trap in the incomplete Heaven and Earth, Su Hua had been waiting for her target to take the bait.
Day after day passed. Just when she thought there was little chance, that guy entered the incomplete Heaven and Earth. To Su Hua's immense delight, he indeed took the bait. Although his Divine Sense ultimately escaped, Su Hua hadn't originally expected to capture his Divine Sense anyway. As long as a trace of his Divine Sense Trace remained, she had a way to find his whereabouts.
"Heh heh, let's see how you hide this time..." Su Hua held two crystal ores in her hand. One was the fragment crystal ore for entering the incomplete Heaven and Earth of the Mysterious Era, and the other was the crystal ore containing Qingfeng's Divine Sense Trace. Gazing at the crystal ore holding the Divine Sense Trace, she said, "Damnable fellow, I said I would definitely find you..." Even now, thinking back to the events of several years ago made Su Hua gnash her teeth in hatred.
Having lived two lifetimes, she had never been spied on before, let alone spied on while completely naked.
No matter how calm and detached Su Hua was, she could not tolerate such a thing happening to her.
If the other party had done it unintentionally and apologized afterward, that might have been one thing.
But that scoundrel not only didn't apologize, he even deceived her, saying his name was Chi Jiu Ye and that he was in the Great Northwest!
If that were all, it might not have infuriated Su Hua so much.
The reality was that every time she encountered that guy's Divine Sense in the incomplete Heaven and Earth, he acted as if nothing had happened. What was even more shameless was that he repeatedly teased her. Every time she remembered this, the fire of anger within Su Hua would surge uncontrollably. She swore she would definitely catch that guy, cut him into pieces, and vent the hatred in her heart!
Now it was good.
As long as she had that guy's Divine Sense Trace, finding his whereabouts was only a matter of time.
Su Hua had the confidence and the certainty.
She was already somewhat impatient to capture that guy, tie him to a pillar, and give him a sound thrashing.
"Hmph! Shameless scoundrel! You just wait. When this lady finds you, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Su Hua did not act immediately because she still had important matters to attend to. Before leaving the secret chamber, she quietly placed the fragment for entering the incomplete Heaven and Earth of the Mysterious Era on the meditation cushion.
Ever since that guy had inexplicably followed her in, Su Hua not only dared not enter the incomplete Heaven and Earth elsewhere, but she also didn't dare to carry the fragment crystal ore with her.
After leaving the secret chamber, she walked deeper into the cave dwelling, passed through a corridor, opened a stone door, and entered.
Inside was another world—a pool of emerald-green water.
The emerald pool was crystal clear and translucent, boiling as if flames were burning, yet also like frost forming ice. It seemed like pure Yang when burning and pure Yin when freezing like frost. Water and fire coexisted, harmonizing like Yin and Yang, making it exceptionally miraculous.
The emerald pool was named the Yin-Yang Dual-Polar Pool.
It was a pool Su Hua had spent many years and countless effort to create, using treasures like the Nine Heavens Immortal River's treasure and the Nine Heavens Rainbow's treasure, among many other supreme treasures.
Whenever she had free time, she would come here to soak.
Not for pleasure, but for cultivation, for regulating her breath, and for purifying the turbid energies from her body.
Removing her robes, her graceful figure was revealed. Her skin was smoother and fairer than snow, delicate and flawless. Her towering peaks and perky, delicate hips were truly a rare, peerless beauty in the world. Soaking in the Yin-Yang Dual-Polar Pool, Su Hua tied up her long hair. With her slender, jade-like hands, she gently splashed water on herself, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and seemed to be meditating.
Perhaps because she remembered the scene from several years ago when that guy had spied on her here, she suddenly opened her eyes again and softly cursed, "Damnable scoundrel!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Su Hua reached out a hand, summoning her storage pouch. With a thought, she retrieved the crystal ore containing Qingfeng's Divine Sense Trace.
"Scoundrel! This lady will first let you taste the flavor of a curse!"
With that, Su Hua's fingers danced, and streams of spiritual incantations condensed and manifested, transforming into one magical seal after another that struck the crystal ore.
