Gu Sheng learned that the Purple Mist Divine Pool is actually the "Creation Immortal Pool," created to recreate bodies. Miao Muqing revealed she is the Southern Emperor's daughter and carries her mother's soul, making her a dual soul. She confessed that the Southern Emperor died in a rebellion centuries ago, and the Imperial Seal is hidden within her. The Seventy-two Divine Sects have been monitoring her, seeking the seal, while external forces devastated the Southern Border. Miao Muqing then confessed she orchestrated events and aided Gu Sheng, believing he is the key to their predicament and asking for his help.

"Did you acquire the Spirit Emperor’s God-breaking Path and the Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path, these two Supreme Secret Techniques?"

Gu Sheng’s eyebrow twitched, and his heart sounded the alarm.

This woman knows far more about him than he had imagined.

"Spirit Emperor Ye Qinglan and Eastern Emperor Ling Qingyan were legends of their time."

Miao Muqing’s voice suddenly became distant as though traveling through the river of time.

"And the Emperor Sect Secret Technique you acquired was called the Eastern Emperor Thousand Illusion Path back then."

With a flash of insight in his eyes, Gu Sheng suddenly understood something.

"You’re trying to gather the four strongest paths of the Four Martial Realms?"

Miao Muqing nodded in appreciation.

"Smart. The Supreme Longevity Scripture, before being usurped by the Longevity Divine Sect, was named the Southern Emperor Longevity Dao."

Her voice suddenly lowered.

"And the most complete Secret Technique lies within the Imperial Seal."

Gu Sheng’s heart accelerated slightly.

The Supreme Longevity Scripture is precisely his purpose for coming to the Southern Border, and now, the complete Southern Emperor Longevity Dao is right before him.

"Your condition?"

Gu Sheng asked directly.

"Help me break out of this dead end and consolidate my physical form."

Miao Muqing looked directly into Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"In exchange, the Imperial Seal will be yours."

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, his brow furrowed tightly.

"Dead end? What dead end?"

Miao Muqing’s expression suddenly became grave.

"Although the Southern Emperor Lineage has been hidden for many years, its foundation remains intact. Recently, Xiaguang City only admits entry but not exit, because..."

She.

"Sect Leader level experts from various Divine Sect have secretly infiltrated the city, these individuals are at least at the Earth King Realm."

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled.

Earth King Realm, that is already an existence standing at the peak of Martial Arts, any one of them is enough to sweep a region.

And now, there are multiple such experts lurking secretly?

"Do you think I can confront the Earth King Realm?"

Gu Sheng sneered.

"You’re overestimating me."

Miao Muqing shook her head.

"No, my instinct tells me you are the only variable in this dead end."

Gu Sheng sank into contemplation.

His purpose for coming to the Southern Border was for the Supreme Longevity Scripture, if he can obtain the Imperial Seal from Miao Muqing...

"I need to acquire the Imperial Seal first."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke, his gaze firm.

"After successfully comprehending the Secret Technique, I will help you."

Miao Muqing showed hesitation in her eyes but quickly regained her composure.

"Alright."

She agreed readily, and a golden light suddenly flashed across her chest.

Miao Muqing’s slender fingers gently stroked the ancient surface of the Imperial Seal, the entire verdant green seal glowing faintly in her palm, vibrating subtly as if alive.

"Young Master Gu, the Southern Emperor Longevity Dao is within."

She handed the seal to Gu Sheng, her eyes filled with an unfathomable light.

"The Purple Mist Cave Heaven will open in three days, enough time for you to comprehend this Dao."

The moment Gu Sheng received the Imperial Seal, an icy, bone-piercing sensation shot up his arm straight to his mind, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

This seemingly ordinary seal contained such terrifying power.

"Miss Miao trusts me to hold the Imperial Seal?"

Gu Sheng squinted his eyes, his fingertips caressing the seal as he sensed the mighty power within.

Miao Muqing chuckled lightly, her lips slightly parted.

"I’ve shown my sincerity, whether Young Master Gu believes it or not is your concern."

She turned to call Miao Ren and Miao Wu.

"Let’s go."

Their figures vanished like smoke into the depths of the courtyard, leaving only Gu Sheng and Ye Yiyi standing in place.

The night wind blew through, brushing Ye Yiyi’s fringe.

She frowned slightly, looking in the direction Miao Muqing left, and whispered.

"Why does she trust me so much? I am a person from the Purple Mist Divine Sect..."

Gu Sheng didn’t reply immediately, instead, he held the Imperial Seal up to the moonlight for close observation.

The seal’s base was carved with intricate runes, faintly visible under the moonlight.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Something is wrong..."

Gu Sheng turned abruptly, his gaze as sharp as a knife piercing towards Ye Yiyi.

"Have I overlooked something."

Ye Yiyi was startled by his sudden motion and stepped back half a step.

"Young Master Gu?"

Gu Sheng’s mind quickly flipped through every detail of the past days...from entering the Southern Border, encountering Ye Yiyi, to today’s events.

All the clues intertwined in his mind, gradually forming a clear network.

"Miss Ye, no, maybe I should call you...Nangong Yingying?"

Gu Sheng said word by word, his voice as cold as ice.

Ye Yiyi’s expression changed suddenly but quickly calmed again.

"What is Young Master Gu saying? I don’t understand."

"Good acting."

Gu Sheng sneered.

"But not good enough. When Miao Muqing mentioned the situation at Yujing Sect, your fingers involuntarily trembled three times. And the situation at Yujing Sect is so similar to the Southern Prince Mansion!"

Ye Yiyi’s breath visibly quickened.

Gu Sheng continued.

"Moreover, coincidentally enough, I entered the city on the day you were inspecting the city gate and you happened to sit beside me. How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Unless...someone planned it meticulously."

"Also."

Gu Sheng stepped forward.

"Nangong Yingying and Nangong Baye know my movements best. You’ve been watching me from the beginning, haven’t you? The Southern Prince’s adopted daughter?"

The courtyard was dead silent, even the insects’ chirping disappeared.

Ye Yiyi... no, now she should be referred to as Nangong Yingying... the disguise on her face finally crumbled completely.

She, with a bitter smile, said.

"As expected of Young Master Gu, able to deduce my identity from these details."

Just then, a light sigh came from the shadows in the room.

"I knew we couldn’t hide it from Young Master Gu."

A purple figure slowly stepped out from the shadows, her face exceedingly beautiful, with a striking red mark between her eyebrows under the moonlight.
