　　Xu Mingxiu’s expression was also far from pleasant at this moment.
　　He hadn’t expected Ye Wushuang to be so resourceful, quickly deciphering the secrets of the seal below and leading the Sheng Tian Sect group to this island.
　　”Find out where Ye Wushuang and his group are！”
　　Xu Mingxiu directly ordered.
　　”Yes！”
　　Figures scattered in all directions.
　　Meanwhile.
　　Ye Wushuang and his group had already left that valley, standing on solid ground and surveying their surroundings.
　　”It seems the ancient cauldron has some connection with this floating island, rather than sealing some treasure.”
　　Ye Wushuang spoke up： “Whether this floating island was left behind by an immortal or by Li Chengfeng, we can’t be certain！”
　　Zhou Yuan also wore an eager expression at this moment.
　　Boom　boom　boom…
　　Low rumbling sounds continuously erupted.
　　The fluctuations from the island grew increasingly exaggerated, making people feel more and more alarmed.
　　At the same time, those black stone-iron pillars began to undergo changes.
　　The black stone-iron pillars trembled incessantly, then unleashed incomparably powerful beams of light from their tops, shooting straight into the sky.
　　Across the entire floating island, beams of intense light rose from the ground, illuminating the heavens.
　　At this moment, the black iron fragments on the surfaces of the pillars peeled away, revealing their true forms—crimson-red pillars that interconnected across the entire island.
　　Soon.
　　The blood-red pillars’ light beams shining into the sky, one after another, formed what resembled a mirror suspended high in the air.
　　All the light beams merged into one, eventually condensing into a single pure point of light that refracted downward.
　　”There！”
　　That point of light, refracted downward from the sky, directly illuminated the summit of a central mountain on the island.
　　That towering mountain stands out prominently across the entire island.
　　”Go！”
　　Ye Wushuang and the others didn’t hesitate, dashing straight toward the mountain.
　　Before long, the martial artists sent by Xu Mingxiu from the Spirit Sword Pavilion also returned and reported, “Pavilion Master, they’re rushing toward that mountain over there.”
　　”There…”
　　Xu Mingxiu’s gaze followed as beams of light shot skyward, converging into one before refracting and landing, their illuminated position clearly visible.
　　”Go！”
　　The group also headed in the direction of the mountain’s peak.
　　When Ye Wushuang and the others reached the mountain’s summit, it felt as if they had stepped into a vast valley-like terrain.
　　At the summit, small peaks encircled the area, enclosing it in such a way that the mountaintop resembled a valley.
　　At the center of the summit, a massive lotus flower bloomed in full splendor.
　　This wasn’t an actual lotus—upon closer inspection, each petal was carved from pale green jade with a faint bluish sheen.
　　The enormous lotus was sculpted in a fully bloomed posture.
　　Between the petals, the light points descending from above gathered at the core of the lotus seed surrounded by the petals.
　　Ye Wushuang and the others landed but didn’t recklessly approach.
　　Within the enormous lotus, the lotus seed shimmered with a radiant glow, making the mountaintop so bright it was hard to keep one’s eyes open.
　　Before long, figures began arriving from all directions.
　　Leading the group was none other than Xu Mingxiu.
　　The people from the Spirit Sword Pavilion had also arrived at this location.
　　In addition, representatives from the Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Sect, the Heavenly Dao Palace, the Tianyuan Pavilion, the Tianbao Commerce Guild, and other factions arrived one after another.
　　The mountaintop was quite spacious, so even with this large group gathered, it didn’t feel crowded.
　　Each faction stood in their own designated areas, eyeing one another warily.
　　”What exactly is happening now？”
　　The Seventh Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace, Qi Yuanming, stood beside Meng Meilian, Xu Hongzhuo, and the others, murmuring in a low voice.
　　Palace Master Xu Hongzhuo couldn’t help but say, “Let’s observe for now.”
　　They had just arrived on this floating island and still didn’t know what this place truly was.
　　No one acted rashly; instead, they stood around the massive green lotus, watching as the glow within the lotus seed pulsed and surged.
　　Suddenly, in an instant.
　　Crackling sounds erupted from the lotus seed, and then, right before everyone’s eyes, the seed shattered.
　　Afterward, a figure emerged from within the lotus seed, revealing itself to the crowd.
　　The woman stood quietly within the lotus seed, her shoulders as if carved, her waist slender as a willow, her skin smooth as congealed fat, her aura as delicate as an orchid.
　　Her eyes were like water, yet carried a faint chill, seeming capable of seeing through everything.
　　Her slender fingers slowly unfurled, the exposed skin on her body snow-white with a hint of pink.
　　Those bright eyes held an indifferent expression, as if she were an immortal untouched by the mortal world.
　　This was a rather unique temperament—just a few glances made one feel that though she stood nearby, it was as if she were a hundred thousand miles away.
　　Ye Wushuang and the others from the Holy Heaven Sect looked over, utterly stunned.
　　The woman standing at the center of the lotus seed—who else could it be but Qing Shiyu！
　　But…
　　How did Qing Shiyu end up inside the lotus seed？
　　Lin Yunhan, Lin Tianyou, Xuan Tiansheng, Xuan Tiandi, and the others couldn’t help but glance at Ye Wushuang, then at Qing Shiyu.
　　It seemed this confidante of Lord Ling Shengtian was no ordinary figure either？
　　Previously, they only knew that Qing Shiyu possessed the rare Pure Yuan Spirit Body, which had now advanced to the Pure Yuan King Body level—her cultivation progressed astonishingly fast, and her integration with the world’s spiritual energy was exceptionally high.
　　But now, it seemed there was far more to it？
　　”Shiyu…”
　　Ye Wushuang unconsciously stepped forward, looking at Qing Shiyu standing inside the lotus seed, and asked, “Shiyu, what exactly is wrong with you？”
　　At this moment, Qing Shiyu seemed both familiar and strangely distant to him！
　　Suddenly, Qing Shiyu, standing inside the lotus seed, gazed at Ye Wushuang not far away, her lips parting as if she wanted to say something.
　　But then, her face twisted in pain, her hands clutching her head as she crouched inside the lotus seed, her expression writhing in struggle.
　　”Shiyu…”
　　Ye Wushuang moved closer to the lotus leaf.
　　”Ahhh！！！”
　　A piercing scream rang out as Qing Shiyu suddenly stood up, her body surging with a terrifyingly powerful aura that instantly swept in all directions.
　　The figures standing at the mountaintop were all sent flying by this immense repulsive force, stumbling backward.
　　Everyone　was　stunned.
　　What kind of power was this?
　　Ye Wushuang was also forced back dozens of steps, his face pale, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
　　Inside the lotus seed, Qing Shiyu kept screaming, her expression growing colder, her eyes increasingly turbid.
　　After a long while,
　　the piercing screams ceased.
　　Qing Shiyu stood inside the lotus seed, gasping heavily for breath.
　　Her eyes lifted, her gaze falling upon Ye Wushuang, a trace of tenderness flashing in her eyes as she murmured involuntarily, “Wushuang…”
　　”Shiyu！”
　　At this moment, Ye Wushuang truly felt that the person standing before him was the real Qing Shiyu.
　　”I… am in so much pain…”
　　Qing Shiyu looked at Ye Wushuang, tears glistening in her eyes.
　　”Don’t move, I have a way！”
　　As Ye Wushuang’s voice fell, he took a step forward.
　　”Don’t come any closer！”
　　Qing Shiyu urgently said, “If you come closer, you’ll die！”
