The bright moon rises from Tianshan Mountain, amidst the boundless sea of clouds.
This was the opening line of a famous poem written by the immortal poet of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai. The general idea was that a bright moon rose above the Heavenly Mountain and lingered in the boundless sea of clouds. Because of the grand concept, desolate and distant, it was able to be passed down through the ages.
Tianshan Mountain was one of the seven major mountain ranges in the world. It was located in the hinterland of Eurasia, spanning across China and three other countries from east to west. It had a total length of 2,500 kilometers, with an average width of 300 kilometers from north to south. The widest part was even more than 800 kilometers. It was the largest mountain range in the world, and it was also the mountain range that was the furthest from the ocean.
Tianshan Mountain was located in an east-west direction, spanning more than 1,700 kilometers in China, occupying a third of Jiang Province.
The Tianshan Mountain Range in China was formed by three parallel folded mountain ranges. The mountain was high in the west and low in the east. The mountain range was broad, and it divided the province into two parts. The Junggar Basin was located in the north, and the Tarim Basin was located in the south. A few famous rivers in the province originated from Tianshan Mountain.
Tomur Peak was located in the Aksu region, near the border. It belonged to the Tianshan Mountain Range, and it was the highest peak of the Tianshan Mountain Range. The main peak was more than 7,400 meters tall.
Tomur Peak meant 'iron' in Chinese, so it was also known as the Iron Mountain. The mountain was covered in snow all year round, and it was surrounded by clouds and mist. The scenery was infinitely magnificent!
The peak of the Tomur Peak was a narrow ridge in the shape of a fish's spine. It was about 800 meters long and 1 meter wide. Even the widest part of the ridge was less than 3 meters. The height of the east and west ends of the ridge were about the same. Looking from above, the ridge on the peak of the Tomur Peak looked like an 800-meter-long, narrow, and huge sword!
Around the Tomur Peak, there were countless other peaks. Although they were slightly lower in altitude, they were still more than five thousand meters above sea level. They were covered with white snow and glittered under the blue sky. They were like gods wearing silver helmets and white armors, piercing through the sky!
There were countless snowy peaks in Tianshan Mountain Range, and they were covered in snow all year round. But below the 3,000-meter snow line, it was a different scene. Although it was rarely visited, it was rich in flora and fauna.
The foothills and valleys of Tomur Peak and Bogda Peak were covered with spruce and pine trees. The forest was dense and evergreen all year round.
There were also countless rare birds and beasts in Tianshan Mountain. They mainly lived in the mountains, forests, and grasslands below 3,000 meters above sea level. Goshawks, snow leopards, antelopes, deer, and many other rare animals could be seen everywhere.
In the southeast of Tomur Peak, there was a huge mountain ridge that abruptly rose from the ground. It was a steep precipice that ran from east to west, blocking the sight of tourists and causing them to shrink back.
However, in the most dangerous and inaccessible part of this huge mountain ridge, behind a dense primitive forest, there was a mountain stream that ran through it, forming a canyon. It was extremely deep and narrow, but the road was straight. Looking down from the sky, it seemed that this mountain ridge had been split by a sword!
Apart from a small number of people in the ancient martial arts world of China, no one knew that there was another world behind this mountain ridge!
To the north of this mountain ridge was a deep triangular valley formed by Tomur Peak and this mountain ridge. In the deep valley, there were three peaks that rose from the ground. These three peaks formed a triangle, and the mountains were flat. Their height did not exceed the mountain ridge, and the overall elevation was just below the 3,500-meter snow line. Therefore, it was lush with vegetation all year round, and the fragrance of flowers and birds could be heard.
This was where the headquarters of the Tianshan Sky Sword Sect was located!
These three peaks were known as the Heaven, Earth, and Human Peaks by the Sky Sword Sect. There were at least 300 people living on these three peaks, and they were all from the Sky Sword Sect.
Among them, the top of the Heaven Peak had a circumference of more than 1,000 meters. There was a palace built here, and the entire palace was built according to the mountain. It was huge, and there were countless palaces, all of which were in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It looked like the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Although the entire Sky Palace did not have a clear palace wall, there was a real palace gate. There was only one path from the foot of Sky Peak Mountain to this place. This palace gate that looked like a memorial archway was the place that everyone had to pass through.
There were three words written on the plaque of the palace gate: Sky Sword Sect.
In the middle of the night, in the main hall of the Sky Sword Sect's palace, the place was brightly lit. A woman wearing a phoenix crown and a colorful palace dress was sitting on a spacious and comfortable seat. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she was motionless, as if she was resting or cultivating.
This woman was in her thirties. She had a slender figure, a fair and clean face, and her skin shone under the light of the lamp. She could be considered a beauty, but her eyebrows were too long and slender, and her lips were very thin. This made her face give off a mean and crafty feeling, and made her graceful and luxurious makeup have some flaws.
Di Xiaozhen!
At the age of 37, she was at the peak of Qi Refinement Stage Eight, and the actual controller of the Sky Sword Sect!
That night, she had just held a grand banquet, so she was slightly tired. She was resting with her eyes closed, and at the same time, she was waiting. Her expression was slightly anxious.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace. Di Xiaozhen heard the familiar footsteps, and her face immediately lit up. She scanned the area with her divine sense, and immediately said gently, "Hou 'er, come in."
As she spoke, Di Xiaozhen suddenly opened her eyes. Unlike her gentle voice, her gaze was extremely sharp. As soon as she opened her eyes, her gaze was like a pair of sharp swords. It was incomparably cold, and it pierced straight into one's heart.
However, immediately after, Di Xiaozhen's gaze became extremely gentle, because the person who had entered was her son, Marquis Di Qinghou.
Marquis Di Qinghou was only about 17 or 18 years old. He also had a slender figure, and was dressed in a luxurious robe. He was handsome, but most of his features were like his mother's. His eyebrows were slightly thin, and his lips were thin. His eyes looked somewhat frivolous and proud. His expression and behavior made it obvious that he was a child who had grown up in a honeypot, and lived like the moon surrounded by stars.
"Congratulations, Mother. The two elixirs we won at the Devil Subduing Conference, the Beauty Elixir and the Beauty Elixir, have been brought back by the three attendants."
Marquis Di Qinghou immediately appeared in front of Di Xiaozhen as soon as he entered the palace. He grinned as he held up an emerald green medicine bottle in his hand.
Di Xiaozhen suddenly stood up. She stared at the two elixirs in the emerald green medicine bottle, and her eyes shone with an indescribable light. She asked excitedly, "Hou 'er, these … these are the two elixirs?"
For the sake of these two elixirs, Di Xiaozhen could be said to have put in a lot of effort. She had spent six million Heaven Group merit points. Now that she had finally obtained them, how could she not be excited?
Marquis Di Qinghou nodded proudly. "It's confirmed. These are the two elixirs. The purple one is the Beauty Elixir, and the white one is the Beauty Elixir."
Di Xiaozhen grabbed the emerald green medicine bottle and immediately asked, "How should I eat these two elixirs?"
"Reporting to Mother, I have already asked the three attendants. You should eat the Beauty Elixir first, and when you are ten years younger, you should eat the Beauty Elixir."
Marquis Di Qinghou was very proud of himself. "I think that if Mother eats these two elixirs, not only will you be younger than that bitch Qin Qiuyue, but you will also be a thousand times more beautiful than her. When that time comes, let's see if she still dares to raise her head in front of Mother, and if she still dares to act like a dead person!"
"Hahahaha …"
When Di Xiaozhen heard her son mention Qin Qiuyue's name, her eyes instantly shone with endless jealousy. She could not help but throw her head back and laugh maniacally. After laughing for a while, she suddenly opened the medicine bottle. First, she brought the mouth of the bottle to her nose and took a light sniff.
"Very good, these are real elixirs!"
After all, Di Xiaozhen was an expert at the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage Eight. When it came to superior-grade elixirs, she could tell the authenticity of the elixirs with just a sniff. She immediately nodded and said, "Hou 'er, when you return, tell the three attendants that I will reward them handsomely."
Marquis Di Qinghou hurriedly replied, "Yes, Mother."
However, when he looked around, he saw that Di Xiaozhen was actually about to pour out the two elixirs. He immediately stopped her. "Mother, there are only the two of us here. When you consume the elixirs, no one will see. Why don't …"
As he spoke, Marquis Di Qinghou raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
Immediately, Di Xiaozhen stopped what she was doing and quickly closed the bottle cap. She smiled at Marquis Di Qinghou and said, "What a good son of mine. If it wasn't for your reminder, I would have forgotten about it."
She expanded her divine sense and immediately enveloped a secluded corner of the palace. Suddenly, she smiled coldly. "This medicinal pill came at the right time. That heartless man is already at the end of his rope. I don't think he'll live past tonight. Before he dies, I'll let him and that bitch have a good look at this Queen's true beauty!"
"Hou 'er, follow me!"
