The moon is as dark as the wind is high.

Two household servants carry a severely wounded girl who has fainted due to her injuries, towards a cliff.

"One can't help but lament, considering she's the legitimate daughter of the Jun Family, her fate turns out to be so tragic..." one of them sighed.

"She is, after all, a talentless waste with no spiritual roots, yet betrothed to our Young Master. She is simply not worthy of the Master. Wouldn’t it be appropriate to get rid of her instead of letting her marry into the family?”

The other servant gave a kick, which sent Jun Shimoon over the edge of the cliff.

“Wait a moment, is it okay to simply kick her down the cliff like this? The Young Master ordered us to make sure the job is neat, leaving no traces of her ...”

Rest assured, the river at the bottom of the cliff flows towards the Saint Spirit Palace, where no trace of her will be left!”

Saint Spirit Palace!!!

Hearing these three words, the previously mentioned servant subconsciously shivered.

That place is the most terrifying and mysterious demonic sect on the Xuanyuan continent, causing a change of color whenever mentioned by all countries and sects!

The cruel methods of the Saint Spirit Palace and its court, including that mysterious and utmost being in the legend who was rumored to look the same as ordinary people, yet held infinite magical power and was ruthlessly indifferent, had always been feared and worshipped by people.

Regardless of whether Jun Shimoon is dead or alive, once she drifts to the Saint Spirit Palace, she will never be able to return!

The two house servants discussed as they left the cliff.

Under the moonlight, the surging river carried the lifeless girl towards the Saint Spirit Palace...

Simultaneously...

Within the Holy Spirit Palace, thousands of candle lights illuminate one by one. In the main hall, layers of blood-red curtains hung down, faintly concealing an absolutely stunning figure.

The candlelight shadows and the red curtains intermingled, obscuring his face, making it hard for people to see clearly.

It was just vaguely obvious that the person was lying sideways in the massive throne, wearing a stunningly vibrant red robe with totem-like strange patterns, exuding an eerie and luxurious luster. His long hair neatly bundled behind, fell in thick bundles like splashes of ink. His hair accessories were incredibly complex, adorned with dragon clips and phoenix pendants, twisted hairpins, even goddesses and fairy queens would not be as luxurious or elegant.

The ruler of the Holy Spirit Palace, Emperor Shakya!

His hand wearing a thumb ring was as slender as jade. Shakya gently tapped the armrest of his chair, "Has everything been taken care of?"

His voice revealed an attractive, dangerous aloofness, a lazy deep magnetism.

"Reporting to the Lord, the area surrounding the Holy Spirit Palace has been thoroughly cleaned up. I assure you, you will not be disturbed tonight," respectfully replied the left-hand man, Huiyue, kneeling outside the red curtain.

Tonight was the Lord's tribulation crossing day.

The tribulation of emotions.

The lord was predestined to undergo an emotional tribulation. To cross this tribulation, he would need to experience infinite lustful fire burning his body. Its taste is comparable to taking a large amount of X drug and then bearing...

The endless lustful fire was one of the three peculiar fires in the world. It doesn't burn one's physique, but it does bewilder one's mind to stimulate a certain unspeakable desire to its utmost! Therefore, if a woman happened to interrupt the Lord during his tribulation crossing, the consequences might be unthinkable...

Although the Lord has always been celibate and has no interest in women. But tonight was a special case, so to be on the safe side, Huiyue inspected the Holy Spirit Palace's vicinity to ensure there were no women!

He even drove out all the female birds and animals from the mountain...

A powerful barrier was also set up, preventing any creature from intervening. With these preparations, there should be no mishaps.

"Please, my lord, rest assured and pass your tribulation. I will take people to guard around the barrier, there will absolutely be no mistakes!"

Huiye reassures once again, pledging solemnly, with full confidence!

In fact, it is proven that Huiye's barrier is quite stable, successfully blocking all living creatures......

However, at midnight, a gust of dark clouds shrouded the moon. Unnoticed by anyone, dark river water carried a body of a young girl, passed through the barrier, and stealthily flowed into the Field of Holy Spirit.

Not long after, that girl suddenly opened her eyes!
