Chapter 78: Another Change I Was Unaware of?

In a secret room, a figure enveloped in divine light sat cross-legged, seemingly immersed in cultivation. A faint image of dragons soared and white tigers roamed around her, creating a mysterious aura that shrouded the entire room.

Behind her, two figures in black robes stood silently, not emitting any aura, like two shadows quietly guarding the area.

Knock, knock! At this moment, a knocking sound came from the door. The figure who was cultivating suddenly opened her eyes, and the dazzling light from her eyes illuminated the entire room like lightning.

"Please come in," came a very neutral voice, making it impossible to determine the gender.

Creak! The door of the secret room was pushed open. The Third Princess entered, her long dress trailing behind her, graceful and elegant, resembling a fairy from the Moon Palace as she walked in gently.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at the figure sitting in meditation in the secret room, with a hint of curiosity in them. The figure had been in her mansion for some time now, but she still couldn't see through the other party's background.

She didn't even know whether the other party was male or female, what they looked like, or what their cultivation level was. All she knew was that the other party claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Tiankui Sect and possessed a Life-Death Pill, intending to make a deal with her.

"Third Princess, have you considered my offer?" The figure sitting cross-legged also looked at the Third Princess and spoke slowly.

"The Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm is not easy to enter. Firstly, there's an age restriction; one must be under twenty-five years old. If you exceed this age, the array at the entrance of the secret realm will detect you."

"Even I cannot enter the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm." The Third Princess looked at the figure in front of her meaningfully.

Her age had long exceeded twenty-five, so she naturally couldn't enter the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm. She said this just to probe the information of the person in front of her.

"No need to trouble yourself, Third Princess," the figure sitting cross-legged said lightly.

In her words, there was a strong sense of confidence, as if the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm of the Grand Zhou imperial family was nothing special to her at all.

"Is that so?" The Third Princess covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. In the depths of her eyes, a sharpness flashed. Most likely, the person in front of her was under twenty-five years old, considered a genius among the younger generation.

However, she couldn't judge the purpose of the other party entering the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm for the time being.

After all, the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm was vast, like a small world. How many treasures were inside, she, as a member of the Grand Zhou imperial family, couldn't be sure.

"What exactly do you need, friend? Why not just say it directly? Perhaps I can help you get it in advance. After all, the Grand Zhou Dynasty ruled over all of the nearby nations, and was rich and prosperous. Our national treasury is full of treasures; there is no lack of anything."

"Why take the risk of entering the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm?"

"Third Princess, our relationship is just a transaction. Today, it seems you have too many questions." The figure sitting cross-legged spoke with a cold voice.

"Okay."

The smile on the Third Princess's face faded, replaced by a demeanor of an icy beauty, with an indescribable aura that made it difficult to look directly at her. She looked down at the figure and said lightly, "Since you put it that way, let's talk business."

"I'll say it again: Let me enter the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm, and when I come out, I will naturally hand over the Life-Death Pill."

The figure's voice remained steady, as if discussing an ordinary matter.

Neither she nor the Third Princess trusted each other. She can give the Life-Death Pill to the Third Princess, but who knew if the Third Princess would really let her enter the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm. If the other party went back on their word, she had no way to deal with it. After all, behind the Third Princess, there was not only the Grand Zhou Dynasty but also a top-notch demonic sect! Neither of which she could afford to provoke.

"Heh."

The Third Princess sneered, her eyes flashing with coldness as she said indifferently, "Friend, you are too confident. Do you think the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm is so safe? Not to mention the geniuses from various sects inside, there are also countless fierce beasts. If you perish inside, won't I gain nothing?"

"Let me remind you, once you enter the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm, your two puppet companions will be completely useless!"

The Third Princess glanced at the two figures in black robes behind the mysterious figure.

Although she couldn't tell the strength of the person in front of her, she could tell that the two figures in black robes were not living beings, but puppets of the Life-Death Realm!

Considering that the other party claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Tiankui Sect, everything seemed so natural that there was no trace of anything wrong.

Even the Third Princess now believed that the other party was indeed a descendant of the ancient Tiankui Sect.

"What does the Third Princess want?"

The mysterious figure spoke.

"Hand over the Life-Death Pill to me, and I will naturally send you into the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm."

"No way!"

The Third Princess's words were immediately met with a direct refusal.

This is her bottom line, and she cannot loosen it no matter what. Once she hands over the Life-Death Pill, her future will no longer be under her control.

"There are many ways to increase one's strength. Do you think that just because I lack the Life-Death Pill, I have no other options?"

The Third Princess chuckled. She waved her hand, and a jade bottle appeared in her palm, emanating a Dao rhyme that shook the mind.

"Enlightenment Pill?" The mysterious figure exclaimed in surprise.

In the original history, she didn't remember the Third Princess having an Enlightenment Pill. Why did the Third Princess suddenly take out such an important pill today?

The Life-Death Pill is indeed valuable, but its main effect is only to increase the chances of breaking through to the Life-Death Realm. Whether one can ultimately break through still depends on personal luck. There have been cases in history where people have taken several Life-Death Pills but still couldn't break through to the Life-Death Realm.

On the other hand, the Enlightenment Pill is different. As long as one consumes it, their comprehension will instantly increase several times. During the duration of its effects, their cultivation of divine abilities or understanding of the heavens and earth will increase exponentially.

For someone like the Third Princess, after taking the Enlightenment Pill, although she may not be able to directly break through to the Life-Death Realm, there is a chance that she will comprehend the mysteries of the Life-Death Realm. Once she understands the special nature of the Life-Death Realm, breaking through will become a matter of course. In her eyes, the Life-Death Pill would then lose its significance.

‘Where did the Third Princess get the Enlightenment Pill from? Could it be that there have been changes in the original history that I am unaware of?’

The mysterious figure remained calm on the surface, showing no change in expression, In reality, her heart was already churning with tumultuous waves, unable to calm down.
