As the empress who breaks off her engagement at the beginning, I choose the evil little black lotus.

But in this timeline after Su Yan's rebirth, in the Imperial Tomb of the Fallen Heaven Realm, Liu Zhenzhen was carrying a basket of ghost bamboo shoots and listening to the chirping of cicadas as she walked down the mountain. She raised her hand in surprise and saw a piece of snow falling gracefully into her palm. .

It’s not unusual for it to snow in the Imperial Tomb, but this was in July.

In this world, how could there be a snow falling amidst the chirping of cicadas?

However, there was no hint of coolness in Xueluo's palm.

Even if it falls in the palm of your hand, it disappears instantly without melting, leaving no trace.

Following the first piece of snow, there was a flurry of rain...

Each one of them did not fall to the ground, but flew towards Liu Zhenzhen like a butterfly in love with a flower.

It's like the first piece of snow that disappears as soon as it touches the body.

But there are just too many of them.

The latecomers could only pile on the former, and quickly turned the house into a snow tower.

However, Liu Zhenzhen did not cover or avoid them, just letting them pile up on her body.

She already knew that what was falling now was not snow, but the years she had seen in her dream.

A piece of snow makes a year.

"Gu Nanyi" fulfilled her promise.

If there is a being who transcends time and is willing to focus his gaze, he can see that the same snow is still falling on many imperial tombs.

……

One year has passed since Su Xue was born.

This year, Su Yan and Gu Nanyi, in addition to raising children, were preparing to break through to the sub-sage realm.

The first is to collect the patterns and materials for the first life lamp.

The life lamp consists of two parts: the lamp and the life fire.

Before lighting the fire of life, it is natural to build a lamp.

Different lamps can bring different benefits to Ya Sheng.

Such as increasing the physical body, increasing magical powers, increasing elephant patterns, etc...

Depending on the grade, the effect of the gain will also vary.

However, in addition to the grade, the life lamp also needs to consider the compatibility with the five elements of oneself.

The first destiny lamp, also known as the natal lamp, is naturally the top priority.

In the late stage of the Life Lamp Realm, the remaining eight Life Lamps are broken, and the consequences of the broken Life Lamp are completely different.

For example, in Shen Xiaoxue's previous life, it was because her natal lamp was broken that she became Su Yan's idiot princess for so many years.

Fortunately, Su Yan was lucky this time. Using the two patterns of life lamps he obtained from Nan Yi, he was able to create two mid-level life lamps.

The earth-level third-grade five-yang Baohua lantern was brushed with the heaven-level fifth-grade five-wheel birth-and-death lantern. This lantern is not limited to the five elements, and Su Yan plans to use it himself.

The ninth-grade Yimu longevity lamp of the heavenly rank is painted with the evergreen lamp of the fourth-grade heavenly rank. This lamp fits Nan Yi’s wood element horoscope.

She has a wood-based destiny, equipped with the supernatural power Qingdi's left eye, celestial phenomena and thousands of tree rings, plus this heaven-level fourth-grade wood-based natal lantern. Such perfection has surpassed many early Martial Emperors, at least far beyond the previous life. Shen Xiaoxue.

Su Yan originally thought about entering the First Dragon Palace to look for the life lamp pattern, but now that he was unexpectedly happy, he could consider taking a step back and wait until the Second Saint.

Now that we have the drawings, all that's left is to collect the materials.

The materials required for the Heavenly Life Lamp are naturally extraordinary, and can only be obtained slowly through the system.

In addition to casting lamps, the second thing is to fast and meditate, taking into account the Taoist mind, so as not to be confused by the mental obstacles after lighting the life lamp.

This year, Su Yan went in and out of various trading houses and auction houses, and while using the system to brush materials, he also continued to brush some barrier-breaking pills.

Although Xue'er's arrival had solved one of the biggest knots in his heart, he knew that he still had another knot in his heart that would definitely come to him when the life light came on.

On the other side, Shen Xiaoxue was also preparing to light the lanterns.

Compared with Su Yan, Shen Xiaoxue undoubtedly needs more barrier-breaking pills.

Otherwise, if the father and daughter from her previous life appeared in her heart, she would find it difficult for her to get over them.

Shen Xiaoxue sometimes even doubts whether she will stop at the sub-sage realm in this life.

She felt that before lighting the life lamp, she should prepare at least barrier-breaking pills.

The reason why it is nine hundred and ninety-nine is because this is the upper limit.

She had seen a martial arts scripture that recorded that there was once a Supreme Martial King whose father was Emperor Wu. He took thousands of barrier-breaking pills, but still failed to break through the mental barrier.

According to him, after the nine hundred and ninety-nineth, the Barrier Breaking Pill is useless.

All elixirs become less effective the more you take them, until they are useless.

Barrier-breaking pills are no exception.

However, in this world, the Supreme Martial King who is trapped in a mental barrier is extremely hard to find even one pill, let alone nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Shen Xiaoxue could only rely on system brushing.

It's just that this system, since it has the word "crematorium" in its name, can't let her get her wish so easily.

"Ding, the system prompts that Su Yan and Gu Nanyi's child needs an egg every day as she grows. Please collect thirty gold-backed silver roc eggs for her. Mission reward: Barrier Breaking Pill x99."

A golden-backed silver roc, deep in the sea, a ferocious beast with ancient bloodline. As an adult, its combat power is above the sub-sacred realm. Its strength is definitely not comparable to the king-level sea beasts that Shen Xiaoxue usually tortured.

Shen Xiaoxue: "..."

Shen Xiaoxue: "Okay, okay, as expected of you, the dog system. You took advantage of the fact that I was in urgent need of the barrier-breaking pill, so you just put it on my nose, right?"

"The little beggar took advantage of the situation and gave birth to a little bastard. I tolerated it, but you still want me to raise the bastard together!"

"I, Shen Xiaoxue, would rather die in pieces than live in humiliation."

"I don't believe it. With just one of my pills, it's hard for heaven and earth to suppress me, and my firm Taoist heart can't be shaken by eternity. Without this barrier-breaking pill, I can't break through the mental barriers!"

……

Half a month later, Shen Xiaoxue, her hair disheveled and embarrassed, fled a large island with a silver beach.

Behind him, two golden-backed silver rocs that could cover the sky with one wing roared angrily, soared into the sky, set off violent winds and roaring seas, and chased after them.

Shen Xiaoxue looked back and sighed helplessly.

If there was only one, she could still fight, but the two would have no choice but to run away.

Fortunately, there were enough eggs in the nest, nearly forty.

That's right, a few days after she swore, "I would rather die in pieces than live in humiliation," she still came to find eggs for that little bastard.

If it were her previous life, that arrogant person who believed that the universe was all about her, she might really give up on her mission and just rely on her Taoist heart to break through the mental barrier.

But in this life, she has become much more realistic.

……

On Longshen Island, on the first, seventh and fifteenth day of every day, if the weather is fine, a night market will be held on the beach.

And because this is the place where the most Wu Kings gather in the whole world, this night market is also called Wang City.

True to its name, because most of the buyers and sellers are Martial Kings above the Purple Cauldron Realm, the quality of the Dragon God Island Royal Market is very high, even surpassing the auction houses of several large dynasty imperial cities.

Su Yan and Gu Nanyi also come here often and have found several required life lamp materials here.

However, on this fifteenth night, Nalan Yan was the only one who came to visit the royal market.
