Evan Chu was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t actually considered letting Princess Serena Hua help him break the illusion. Hearing her say that now, he found himself at a bit of a loss.
Princess Serena Hua saw Evan Chu silent for so long and asked, “What, you don’t believe I can break the illusion? Don’t forget, back in the Netherworld I was a Nether Venerable. Breaking illusions in the Immortal Realm is child’s play for me.”
Evan Chu glanced at Princess Serena Hua in confusion. Now that Tom Chu couldn’t help him, if he wanted to break the illusion, he really could only rely on her. But if he brought her out of the Timewheel Bracelet, his identity might be exposed. Even if it wasn’t, she’d ascend to the God Realm eventually, which would mean even more trouble.
For a moment, Evan Chu didn’t know what to do. But he couldn’t bear to leave the illusion unbroken. After thinking it over, he made up his mind: “Princess Serena, this illusion is called the Flower–Moon Realm. Do you have a way to break it? If not, I won’t take you out of here. The outside world is way too complicated—it won’t do you any good.”
“Flower–Moon Realm? Are you serious? That’s impossible! Only God Realm experts can set up an illusion like that, and even the weakest would have to be mid-stage God-King or above!” Princess Serena Hua exclaimed, her face full of shock.
Evan Chu was startled too. From Princess Serena’s reaction, it was obvious she knew all about the Flower–Moon Realm. The only question was whether she could actually break it.
“Do you have any confidence you can break it? This is really important to me.” Evan Chu said seriously to Princess Serena Hua.
“Just from the name, you can tell the Flower–Moon Realm is a terrifying illusion—like flowers in a mirror, moon in the water, unreal and ethereal. I can’t guarantee I’ll succeed. It takes immense power to break something like this. But I can help you find the array eyes and we can try to break it together,” Princess Serena Hua said.
Hearing Princess Serena say that, Evan Chu felt much more at ease. He said, “In that case, I’ll take you out of here. But there’s one thing—you have to say you’re my younger sister if anyone asks who you are. Otherwise, I can’t explain it to them. I’m talking about certain people from the God Realm, not Yvonne or Lynn—they don’t count.”
“God Realm? You mean you’ve already ascended? How come I don’t sense any divine power on you? What’s going on?” Princess Serena Hua asked, puzzled.
“I haven’t ascended to the God Realm yet, but it won’t be long now. Once you’re out, you’ll definitely ascend too. After all, your body now absorbs Immortal Essence, so the only way back to the Netherworld is after you reach the God Realm. Also, you’ll need to disguise yourself.” Evan Chu said.
“Disguise myself? Why do I need to do that?” Princess Serena Hua asked, confused.
“It’s simple—because you’re too beautiful. You’ll attract trouble. I don’t want anything bad happening to you.” Evan Chu said.
“Are you worried about me? Have you developed feelings for me? I’ll never fall for you, so don’t even think about it.” Princess Serena Hua laughed.
“Really? Why’s that? Am I not good enough, or do you already have someone in your heart?” Evan Chu replied. Honestly, he wasn’t interested in Princess Serena—he already had too many women in his life and didn’t want any more trouble.
“You’re outstanding, maybe even a rare genius—every woman dreams of someone like you. But I’m not like them. My man can only have me, and I can’t accept three wives and four concubines. So if you have any ideas, you’d better give up now or you’ll just suffer later,” Princess Serena Hua said.
“You’re overthinking it. You’re a high and mighty princess—how could I ever be worthy of you? Everyone knows how it is. Being friends is good enough,” Evan Chu said.
With that, Evan Chu’s true body moved—a thought sent his Fire Golden Body and Princess Serena Hua out of the Timewheel Bracelet. As for Jade Chu and Tom Chu, he’d wait until he ascended to the God Realm before bringing them out.
At the bottom of Falling-Sun Gorge, all the women quietly watched Evan Chu. He hadn’t moved for ages, making everyone curious—they thought he was deep in thought, trying to figure out how to crack the formation.
Suddenly, the Fire Golden Body and Princess Serena Hua appeared in front of everyone, and Evan Chu snapped out of it. Everyone was startled, especially Luna Nangong, who was shocked to see two identical Evan Chus.
But when Luna Nangong saw the beautiful woman beside Evan Chu—who was no less stunning than herself—she felt a pang of jealousy. “Big Brother Evan, who is she? Why did she appear here with you? And why are there suddenly two of you?”
“That’s my Golden Body, and this is my sister Serena. I brought her out from a special space just to help us break open the Flower–Moon Realm,” Evan Chu quickly explained.
With a thought, Evan Chu recalled the Fire Golden Body back into himself. Bringing out both Serena and the avatar had drained his divine sense—his head was spinning.
“Serena, you’re out! You’ve gotten even prettier!” Yvonne Xuan said.
“Yvonne, Lingxiao is happy to see you all here. How did you end up inside the Flower–Moon Realm? It may not hurt people, but it does torment them. If we want to break this illusion, I’ll need your help,” Princess Serena Hua said.
“Serena, you really can break this illusion? If there’s anything we can do, just tell us,” Yvonne Xuan said.
It was Jade—the Emerald Immortal Empress’s first time seeing Serena. She felt an unfathomable aura about her. It wasn’t that Serena’s strength was hard to gauge, but her mindset was. At this moment, Serena faintly radiated the presence of a supreme powerhouse, yet her cultivation wasn’t very high, which was strange.
Princess Serena Hua flew into the air, carefully examining the glowing flowers, the runes, and the characters. After a while, she said, “The expert who set up the Flower–Moon Realm is no ordinary figure—they used an avatar to lay the formation. Who knows how powerful the real body is? I’m certain this person is at least God–Venerable Realm.”
“That strong? An avatar of a God–Venerable Realm expert? How do you know? And how do we break the Flower–Moon Realm?” Evan Chu asked urgently. If the illusion was set by a God–Venerable, breaking it would be even harder.
But the rewards for breaking it would be just as great. Even if it was only an avatar, a God–Venerable would have left behind treasures beyond imagination. Obtaining them would be a huge help for ascending to the God Realm.
“To break the illusion, we need to find the array eyes. I’ve already located them—there are four in total, at the east, south, west, and north. We’ll have to attack all four at the same time to break it.”
“That’s just the first step. Once the four array eyes are destroyed, a powerful barrier will appear. Only by breaking that barrier will the Flower–Moon Realm be truly undone, and then you’ll be able to enter the God–Venerable’s treasure vault,” Princess Serena Hua said.
