A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Inside the council chamber, the flickering candlelight cast long shadows of the two men.

Liu Qingxia paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. Her eyes were full of affection as she looked at Chen Yang and said helplessly, "I didn't want to tell you, but I didn't expect you to find out anyway."

Chen Yang grabbed her arm, his heart leaping into his throat, all other thoughts vanishing. He said urgently, "Qingxia, what happened? You must tell me whatever it is. No matter what happens, you must trust your husband."

Liu Qingxia shook her head helplessly, patted his hand reassuringly, and said, "Chen Yang, don't be nervous. When we joined forces to kill that elite demon, at the last moment, for some reason, I directly absorbed the demon's golden core power into my body. I was already close to condensing my golden core, and after absorbing this golden core energy, a peculiar vortex energy appeared in my body."

She paused, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "This energy is strange. I can clearly sense that I'm about to enter the next stage, but this stage is not the ordinary Golden Core Realm. I can even feel that the rules of this world are rejecting me. Once my strength advances further and I completely break through, I will definitely be forcibly rejected by the power of this world."

"This world seems to have its own will, like a rule-abiding Golden Core cultivator, not allowing any other form of Golden Core cultivator to appear in this world."

Liu Qingxia looked at Chen Yang and said softly, "So I can forcibly suppress my cultivation from breaking through now, but once I do, I will have to leave. I don't know exactly where I'll go, but in short, I won't be able to stay in this world any longer."

Chen Yang's mouth dropped open, and he suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's why the surging and strange energy I sensed from Liu Qingxia's body earlier was this!

He quickly grasped the key: in this world, cultivators' Golden Cores evolved from supernatural abilities, which were essentially formed through the understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. But Liu Qingxia was different; she cultivated a bloodline technique, and her supernatural abilities were an innate talent of the Vermilion Bird bloodline. Once she formed her Golden Core, it wouldn't be a Five Elements Golden Core recognized by the rules of this world, and would naturally be rejected by the rules of heaven.

Having figured all this out, Chen Yang felt a sense of relief. He took Liu Qingxia's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed, "You scared me to death just now. Don't worry, my dear wife, I can speed up my cultivation and break through to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible. There will naturally be a solution then. Even if there really isn't one, I'll leave with you through the rift passage. The world is vast; there's always a place for us to stay. It's not a difficult thing."

Liu Qingxia nodded slightly, a gentle smile spreading across her eyes as she looked at him with a soft, watery gaze.

Chen Yang reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

Just then, soft footsteps came from outside the door.

Eliza walked in wearing a green dress. Seeing the two embracing, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You two have such a good relationship."

Liu Qingxia quickly stepped out of Chen Yang's arms and nodded slightly to Elizabeth.

Chen Yang sat back down and said with a smile, "Of course we have a good relationship. We're a lawfully wedded couple. You can only be envious."

Upon hearing this, Eliza smiled and sat down beside her.

Chen Yang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Queen Elizabeth, what exactly happened before? How did you end up being imprisoned in the dungeon of Red Abyss Valley?"

"You two are my saviors, just call me Elizabeth." Elizabeth sighed and said slowly, "Although our country of Europe and your country of Dongyuan are separated by a sea and look at each other from afar, we have always had exchanges. More than half a year ago, at a court banquet, I suddenly felt weak all over and dizzy. The golden core in my dantian even showed faint signs of shattering."

"I was incredibly shocked at the time. After all, I was already a Golden Core cultivator, and I couldn't understand how my body could suddenly develop such a problem. Later, in a daze, I realized that a trusted subordinate had poisoned me. To this day, I still can't imagine what kind of poison could possibly kill a Golden Core cultivator like me."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face. "As you all know, although our European country is not small, the number of cultivators is not large, and I am the only Golden Core cultivator."

"I escaped with all my might, only to find out during my escape that someone had disguised themselves as me, taken my place, and ruled the entire European Kingdom. With a large number of assassins chasing me, I had no choice but to cross the ocean by sea and arrive in your Dongyuan Kingdom."

Eliza's voice was filled with sorrow: "I had a brief encounter with the old master of Red Abyss Valley years ago, and I went straight there seeking help. But I never expected Red Abyss Valley to be so treacherous, detaining me and stealing my golden core to feed the demons. I was truly unlucky, first betrayed by my own people, and then tricked by Red Abyss Valley. If it weren't for you two, I'm afraid I would have lost my life in the dungeon."

After listening, Chen Yang frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of poison is so potent that even a Golden Core cultivator cannot resist it?"

Eliza shook her head: "To be honest, I've never heard of such a poison before. Once you reach the Golden Core Realm, not to mention being immune to all poisons, your physical body is already incredibly strong. Even if your internal organs are shattered, as long as your head and Golden Core are still intact, they can slowly repair themselves. But this poison is just too domineering and bizarre."

At this moment, Liu Qingxia spoke up and asked, "Eliza, what are your plans next?"

Eliza shook her head with a bitter smile: "I'm a cripple now, what plans can I possibly have? I was thinking of going to the Holy City to seek the Holy Emperor's help and ask him to send a Golden Core cultivator to return to Europe with me. But that's too unlikely. The Holy Emperor only deals with Golden Core cultivators. Although I used to be a Golden Core cultivator, I'm a cripple now, and I'm destined never to form a Golden Core again in this lifetime. I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the Holy Emperor."

Liu Qingxia looked at Chen Yang with expectant eyes and said, "In that case, Elizabeth, why don't Chen Yang and I accompany you to Europe? We'll go and see what's going on first, and then make a plan, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Eliza suddenly looked up at the two of them with delight: "If you are willing to help me, I would be more than happy to do so! However, I have nothing now and I am afraid I cannot repay your kindness. In fact, I do want to go back and see, not for revenge, but to know what my European country has become and what that fake queen is trying to do."

"Okay." Chen Yang immediately made the decision. "The three of us will go to Europe next. Too many people would be inconvenient and attract attention. Three people are just right."

Eliza immediately nodded: "I can sense that you two are exceptionally strong. We are truly grateful to have your assistance. In addition, the annual Beast Fighting Tournament is about to be held in Europe. We can disguise ourselves as beast tamers and pretend to be going to Europe to sell monsters. This should not arouse suspicion. Using the identity of a merchant caravan as a cover will not only keep us in the dark but also allow us to bring more people."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang thought it was a good idea and immediately said, "Then it's settled. Let's get going as soon as possible."

He also harbored his own thoughts: the sooner he arrived in Europe, the sooner he could find out where his third wife, Liu Nianqiu, was.
