Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

In 1999, in Zhuxia, at Kunlun Mountain—

A heavily armed elite special forces team, led by a commander, is protecting a group of scholars as they walk through a cave filled with bluestone.

These scholars were all top figures in the Chinese civilization, covering disciplines such as history, cultural relics, geography, and pre-Qin writing.

It was cold inside the cave. The scholars rubbed their hands and stamped their feet. One of them, breathing out white puffs of air, couldn't help but say:

"Commander Wei, you made so many of us sign confidentiality agreements and then brought us to the Kunlun Mountains. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Commander Wei looked at the scholars, his expression as cold and hard as a mountain, but he tried to soften his tone:

"Professor Li, you are a professor who specializes in the history of the pre-Qin period. You should be familiar with the mythological stories recorded in the 'Biography of King Mu'."

Professor Li casually remarked, "Legend has it that King Mu of Zhou once traveled west to the area of ​​present-day Kunlun Mountain and met the legendary Queen Mother of the West."

"He attended the Queen Mother of the West's Jade Pool banquet and exchanged gifts with her, including brocade and white jade."

"The Book of King Mu clearly records the fact that 'the King offered a toast to the Queen Mother of the West at the Jade Pool'."

After a pause, Professor Li's voice suddenly trembled as he excitedly said, "...Commander Wei, you...you mean to say that this is the legendary Jade Pool? And that the Queen Mother of the West lives here?"

Commander Wei smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough."

Seeing his smile, everyone felt a vague unease, but more than anything, they were excited and curious.

They followed Commander Wei, protected by numerous soldiers, and continued to move inside.

The cave was winding and incredibly quiet; the only sound as you walked was the crunching of your shoes against the gravel.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the scene before them after turning a corner completely stunned everyone.

This is a huge hollow in the mountain, a vast expanse of white as far as the eye can see, and nothing can be seen clearly.

Beneath your feet lies an abyss that seems to reach straight to the earth's core, towering thousands of feet high, as if the entire mountain range had been hollowed out.

A geologist said incredulously:

"No, that's not right at all! The rock here isn't the same type as the ones outside. And judging by my estimation, it's even higher than the mountain we came in from!"

His words immediately reminded everyone.

How could there be a cavity inside a mountain that is taller than the mountain itself?

They felt as if they had stepped into another world!

Before everyone could think further, a scene even more shocking than the mysterious void suddenly appeared before their eyes.

The floating white mist gradually dissipated, revealing the mysterious object hidden within it.

Those were four stone pillars that seemed to connect to the heavens and plunge straight into the netherworld, like the four poles of heaven and earth, with no top in sight and no bottom in sight.

The stone pillars are carved with mountains, rivers, plants, the sun, moon, and stars, as well as many mysterious incantations and characters.

Countless images of mythical birds and beasts, which people have never seen or heard of before, appear on it.

In the center of the four towering pillars, there is a magnificent and solemn bronze coffin, suspended in the air.

This supernatural scene left everyone who witnessed it speechless and dumbfounded.

Commander Wei swallowed hard. For some reason, looking at the bronze coffin filled him with immense fear and an urge to kneel down.

His voice was hoarse as he said, "This mysterious bronze coffin is what we want you to study, as is this stone tablet."

Then people noticed that next to the bronze coffin that was floating in the air, there was a stone tablet.

The inscription on the stone tablet was unrecognizable even to the most learned linguists, yet everyone could understand its meaning.

One of the scholars subconsciously read the above text aloud:

"The tomb of Qin Zijun was erected by her widow, Jiang X."

There should be another character after "Jiang," which is the name of the widow who erected the monument.

The words were blurry, as if seen through a veil, impossible to discern, or perhaps the name itself carried an indescribable terror, forbidding people from uttering them.

As the scholar read the words on the stone tablet, it was as if some mysterious spell or mechanism had been activated.

Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Did you hear that sound?"

Without him saying a word, others heard it, or even saw it.

The mysterious bronze coffin, suspended between the four pillars, slowly and steadily moved its heavy lid as the incantation was recited.

The bronze coffin is about to be opened!

Commander Wei's expression changed; this situation was beyond his expectations.

The soldiers beside them quickly stepped forward to protect the group of scholars and experts, their weapons aimed at the bronze coffin.

The air seemed to thicken, and the cold wind blowing through the cave gave me goosebumps. I could also smell a pleasant fragrance.

Under the anxious gaze of the group, the bronze coffin lid was fully opened.

"There's a person inside, a living person!"

Inside the bronze coffin lay a woman.

The woman wore a brocade palace dress that resembled clouds, her face was covered with multiple veils, and her long, snow-white hair cascaded over her shoulders.

Her body, lying quietly in the bronze coffin, undulated like mountains and rivers, its curves swaying gracefully with each breath, tracing beautiful and enchanting arcs.

Although she was just lying there and her true face could not be seen, she was captivating at first glance, with graceful and charming appearance, just like a fairy.

Just when everyone was captivated by her beauty.

suddenly,

The woman opened her eyes.

What a pair of magnificent eyes they were, so captivating, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

If the ancient frozen lake is bottomless, it holds a cold indifference that looks down on all living beings. In her eyes, everything is just dust, not worth mentioning.

As she opened her eyes, a terrifying aura, as if the heavens and earth were crushing her, suddenly descended.

Those present,

Whether it was the resolute Commander Wei, the troops that had undergone rigorous training, or all the experts and scholars present, they were all unable to control themselves and knelt on the ground.

I could hardly breathe; I had even lost all feeling in my soul.

That was the majesty of a ruler who reigned over the world and looked down upon all living beings; it was the aura that only an emperor who had once ruled over the vast world and countless lives possessed.

And now, this empress has awakened!

……

The Third Hospital of Qiantang City, 2025.

Qin Zijun opened her eyes groggily.

He looked around and saw that he was lying on a hospital bed with an IV drip in the back of his hand. All he could see were white walls, and he could smell the disinfectant.

The sun shone brightly outside the window; it was early spring. A gentle breeze blew through the open window, warming Qin Zijun.

A young nurse pushed open the door to the ward and walked in, her eyes meeting those of the awakened Qin Zijun.

The nurse paused for a moment, then happily ran towards the stairwell.

Faintly, Qin Zijun could still hear her joyful exclamation: "The patient is awake! Dr. Wang, please come quickly and see him. Should I notify his family?"

Qin Zijun remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about everything that had happened. He murmured to himself, "Is this my last life? It seems like I've traveled back in time. How interesting."

A thought struck him, and an ancient book that only he could see suddenly appeared before him, hovering in mid-air.

The Book of Immortals for All Ages

[Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine generations have passed]

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine lifetimes, just one more lifetime is needed for me to cultivate into the [Eternal Immortal Venerable], and from then on, I will truly live forever, indestructible through countless eons, unyielding even as the sun and moon fall, and undying even as heaven and earth perish!"

in this way,

That is true immortality!

Thinking of this, even Qin Zijun, with her calm demeanor, felt a ripple of emotion and unconsciously revealed a smile.
