A Noble Princess Consort of the nation, the only concubine in the young emperor's harem, was actually practicing the infamous Transforming Vajra Soul-shattering Great Method to control the young emperor.

This was her first task; if she could not succeed, she would have to find a way to kill the young emperor.

Emperors of the Great Ming Dynasty dying suddenly were countless, even the Great Emperor Yongle died suddenly, so the death of Zhu Yitai wouldn't cause much of a stir.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated, as the current young emperor was the reincarnation of Geng Kun.

Before Zhu Zaiyu ascended, he had made several predictions about the future, which even Shi Feiyang was kept in the dark about.

The young emperor was not only born with a condensed Primordial Spirit and a strong physique but also aspired to the Immortal Path from a young age, with high perception. When cultivating the same Immortal Law, others could only gain three points, while he could gain twelve, and he was also self-disciplined.

Noble Princess Consort You failed to entice the young emperor at the beginning, unable to control him nor make him act recklessly and ruin the country. When she wanted to find an opportunity to kill the young emperor, Shi Feiyang arrived.

With the young emperor refining the Mo Long Immortal Sword to the realm of Human Sword Unity, Noble Princess Consort You no longer had any chance.

And just at this time, Jiang Xuejun led the thirty-six countries of the North Sea southward, intending to invade the Central Plains!

Jiang Xuejun divided her forces into three routes, crossing the Great Desert and grassland, one attacking Datong, one attacking Zhangjiakou, and one attacking Liao Dong. Before the troops arrived, she had sent thirty-six Mystic Yin Evil Tides ahead.

Her evil tide was refined from Mystic Yin Black Evil Qi, North Sea Gui Water, and Cold Wave. Each one stretched seven thousand miles long and was hundreds of miles wide. The thirty-six black tides moved from north to south through the North, reaching the heart of the Central Plains. The waves behind continuously surged in, merging with one another, forming this day's black curtain that was expanding rapidly and soon entirely covered the Yangtze River.

Some Sword Immortals cast spells to attack, but didn't expect the Cold Flames burning within the Cold Wave to scatter, raining down in blossoms of Cold Flame Cold Light, automatically tracking living beings' auras and swarming toward them, making them unavoidable, sticking to their bodies and burning them to ashes in an instant.

The northern regions were shrouded under the black tide, the world plunged into darkness, visibility nonexistent, and hearts in panic.

The young emperor quickly sought out Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang told him not to worry: "There are many in the court conspiring with the northern raiders, having sent considerable supplies over the years. This time, we will take the opportunity to clear them out together!"

He set up a Dharma Platform in the Yuan Yang Palace, placing the Heavenly Treasure Mirror on it, and began casting.

The Heavenly Treasure Mirror began to emit light, but this time not a single beam, but a cascade of Golden Radiance. Each Golden Radiance contained active images, like a holographic 3D movie, showing ministers, military officers, merchants, and gentry... The scenarios played out were of them conspiring to kill the emperor, inciting the people to seize mining rights, sending envoys to contact northern raiders, and smuggling supplies to the north...

These individuals believed they acted incredibly covertly, with no outsiders present, some even plotted in secret underground chambers.

But the Heavenly Treasure Mirror could illuminate the heavens, calculate the Heavenly Number, and break through the barriers of time and space to reveal all!

As the Circulation of the heavens continued, each person and each event were deduced and presented.

Each Golden Radiance was a story, continuously erupting in unimaginable numbers!

The Golden Radiance swirled and rotated with each other, continuously rising and expanding, quickly merging into the darkness above.

Meanwhile, far away above the North Sea iceberg, Jiang Xuejun was also casting, urging the thirty-six black tides to cover Central Earth. After half a day of casting, the entire realm of the Great Ming Dynasty was engulfed in darkness, even Hainan Island was shrouded, pitch black.

Then, Jiang Xuejun cast spells to shake the surrounding Demon Banners, setting them all in motion. The demons on them roared and spewed black Qi, Jiang Xuejun received their aid, pricked her finger, and flicked out fresh blood.

The dark sky over Central Earth began to flash with clusters of white light.

Those were Mystics Yin Cold Flame Cold Lights, appearing like lightning in the darkness, then scattered as blossoms of white flowers, like snow falling into the Human World.

Within the Mystics Yin Sect, there was a spell called Cold Flame Soul Searching Great Technique. This fire could automatically find anything with blood or a Primordial Spirit ruling over it. Whether man, ghost, demon, or god, no matter how well hidden, they would be found. Once activated, they would swarm and gather unless the master recalled them, never resting until the end.

At this time, they fell from the sky like goose feather snow. Throughout the mountains, rivers, and earth, from the Capital to Lingnan, from Deng Bagu's underwater Tarim Basin to Hangzhou West Lake, this eerie Cold Flame Light Rain was falling everywhere.

Jiang Xuejun first wanted to use these Mystics Yin Cold Flames en masse to pressure the Sword Immortals of Central Earth to take action and kill a batch first!

However, these Cold Flames, when they fell to the Human World, turned in a different direction mid-air.

Initially, they had no specific target, descending towards whichever living being was closest.

Yet Shi Feiyang, through the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, redirected the Heavenly Number, locking onto the targets seen earlier in the Mirror Light.

A large number of cold flames gathered toward the target; Shanxi and Jiangnan were heavily devastated areas, with countless cold flames flying here, turning these two places from night back to day.

Earlier, the world changed color, turning from day to night, frightening the people of the Great Ming Dynasty. Nevertheless, the ordinary citizens had no way out and could only keep praying to the gods and Buddhas they believed in.

Meanwhile, traitors were quite content, believing their new master truly had boundless mana, shrouding the entire country in darkness. They felt certain the impending attacks would cleverly avoid them and target those who couldn't see the heavenly moment. Each one appeased their family and servants with certainty: "Don't panic! We have fortunes and great rewards awaiting us. Not only will we not suffer from this calamity of Heavenly Fire, but we'll also prosper and become dignitaries of the new dynasty!"

Some wealthy merchants even had their servants set up tables in the courtyard, brewing the finest tea, laying out the best snacks, and watching the heavenly fire dance with their families.

Seeing a large amount of cold flame cold light gathered in the sky, brighter than day, these people clapped and cheered: "See? See? The heavenly fire is here! It's about to burn all our enemies to death!"

However, those cold flames headed toward their homes, with groups of white light pouring directly into their courtyards. Anything with flesh and blood that touched them was immediately burned to ashes!

"How could this happen? How is it possible!" They suspected the people from the North Sea made a mistake and hurriedly prayed on their knees. "Don't burn me; our family is loyal to you..."

Their prayers hadn't even ended before the cold light and cold flames engulfed them, and within a moment, the entire being turned into a pile of white ash.

Such scenes unfolded across the nation. Many military officers stationed at the borders who colluded with foreign countries were also targeted by the cold flames, with plenty burned alive along with their horses.

These generals cultivated spells, able to unleash flying swords and magical treasures to counter, with some even directly using divine thunder to shatter the cold flames.

If the mana were equal, engaging them in a duel with this Cold Flame Soul Searching Great Technique would naturally not harm them.

But this time, Jiang Xuejun cast spells with full strength, and the cold flames from Heaven were too many, endless. Even an Earth Immortal targeted couldn't withstand such level attacks.

A considerable number of people colluding with foreign countries were burned alive, unable to understand why the heavenly fire would burn them, most angering was that it only burned them! Neighbors watching the spectacle remained unharmed, some even kindly brought water to help extinguish the fire, but the Mystic Yin Cold Flame, upon getting water, burned fiercer, causing the surrounding temperature to drop abruptly, with the people not burned dead but first frozen stiff!

Just like that, not even those trying to put out the fire got burned, but only themselves. Just on what grounds!

They would never know...

Jiang Xuejun cast spells for half a day, pondering if people of Central Earth, whether immortal or mortal, should have been burned alive, leading to nationwide chaos.

She gathered all the Mystic Yin Demon Banners and quickly flew south, arriving at the border regions, where the armies of thirty-six countries were already there, just waiting for the order to attack.

She landed on the Mystic Yin Holy Mother's Lotus Chariot, specially prepared beforehand, to use divine skills and closely examine the results of the half-day cold flame heavenly fire battle.

Not knowing was fine, but seeing it almost made her nose twist with anger!

It turned out not one intended target was killed; instead, wealthy merchants, civil servants, and military officers secretly siding with her were burned to death! Four of the six ministers were burned to death! Seventeen of the nine border generals were burned to death!

These were supposed to be the ones opening the city gates for her as insiders during her troop dispatch!

Jiang Xuejun, fuming with rage, rapidly calculated who disrupted her plans; she knew the primary adversary this time was State Preceptor Shi Feiyang, but she believed Shi Feiyang wasn't capable of this, suspecting it was the joint effort of several Buddhist elders.

Before figuring it out, a hole suddenly appeared above her head in the black tide, perfectly circular, initially only about a foot in size, like a piece of red-hot copper mirror placed in polluted black snow, rapidly melting the black tide, expanding the hole rapidly to tens of miles around, revealing blue skies!

Below the blue sky was a large golden mirror light.

Jiang Xuejun looked up and happened to see her reflection in that mirror.

That moment of "reflection" startled her as she noticed she looked different from her memory.

Though she had been ruthless in the past, she still retained the prestige of a righteous sect Sword Immortal. Now, however, she was surrounded by evil energy, wearing a black cloak, shrouded in wisps of Mystic Yin Black Evil Qi.

Especially her eyes, which didn't seem like her own... resembling a stranger's...

Wanting to see herself thoroughly, she constantly concentrated, and as her divine energy gathered, Jiang Xuejun in the mirror changed again.

This time, the mirror light shone through her body, revealing her primordial spirit.

Her primordial spirit was no longer a beautiful, lovely girl but a monster pieced together from various things, with a body resembling a large sea cow, covered in eyes and tentacles, only the head was still hers, but only half a face, while the other half was black, belonging to someone else, with red eyes, full of fangs, extremely ferocious!

Jiang Xuejun was startled by her own appearance!
