This cultivation place had been right under his nose all along, yet he had never noticed it.
Now, not only had he failed to seize it, he had even personally handed it over.
How could Atlas’s heart not ache?
But there was nothing he could do.
The person standing before him was soone he absolutely could not afford to offend.
Liora saw that Atlas’s attitude of admitting fault was fairly sincere. Moreover, she was not soone who delighted in killing for no reason. As the eldest princess of the Verdant Lantern Empire, she naturally had to maintain the image of the empire as a nation of etiquette and dignity.
"Forget it," Liora said calmly.
"Those who don’t know are not guilty. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll spare you this once."
She paused, her gaze turning sharp.
"I hope that in the future, the Endless Mountains Holy Land will learn to open its eyes and behave properly."
"Also—" her tone grew colder, "do you understand what you should do if you encounter anything related to my brother in the future?"
The threat in her words was unmistakable.
Atlas imdiately nodded with a smile.
"Rest assured, Eldest Princess. The Endless Mountains Holy Land will never interfere in the Ninth Prince’s affairs. If His Highness needs help in the future, just give the word. I, Atlas Ashmount, will do everything in my power."
The forr arrogance and aloofness were gone without a trace.
What remained was only caution and restraint.
"This... is your disciple?"
Liora’s gaze shifted to Isolde Stonebridge.
"Yes," Atlas replied.
"Mm."
Liora nodded.
Suddenly—
A golden mark blood between her brows.
A beam of golden light shot out instantly!
The speed was terrifying—so fast that even Atlas failed to react in ti.
By the ti he realized what was happening, the golden light had already entered Isolde’s body.
"Isolde!"
Atlas’s face changed. He hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"
"I... think I’m fine."
Isolde Stonebridge circulated her spiritual energy, moved her limbs, and carefully examined herself.
There seed to be nothing wrong.
"Eldest Princess," Atlas asked with a frown, "I have already apologized and made ands. Why did you still act against my disciple?"
"It’s just a small technique," Liora replied lightly.
"It can control her heart."
"Don’t worry. As long as the Endless Mountains Holy Land behaves itself, this technique will naturally dissolve in a few decades."
Her lips curved into a faint smile.
"But if you don’t..."
She didn’t finish the sentence.
The implication was clear.
"Don’t worry, Eldest Princess! We will absolutely behave ourselves!"
Isolde quickly raised her hands and spoke.
At this mont, she clearly felt her own insignificance—
And the insignificance of the Endless Mountains Holy Land.
Before a colossal existence like the Verdant Lantern royal family, they were nothing more than ants.
Ants that others might not even bother to step on.
The last ti she had felt such a crushing sense of inferiority was when she faced Ethan, whose talent had completely overwheld her.
But this ti—
It was a complete crushing in terms of background and strength.
Atlas placed his hand on his disciple’s shoulder and carefully inspected her, yet found nothing unusual.
Although his realm was not much lower than Liora’s, the difference in cultivation resources and inheritances was like a bottomless chasm.
This was precisely why, despite being an Upper Supre, he felt such deep fear when facing her.
She had attacked his most valued disciple as a warning.
Atlas Ashmount felt anger in his heart—
But he could do nothing.
"Rest assured, Your Highness," Atlas Ashmount said solemnly, "the Endless Mountains Holy Land will act with restraint."
Liora nodded slightly.
"I hope you keep your word."
"Of course. The people of the Verdant Lantern Empire are the most trustworthy," Liora replied calmly.
Then, her gaze shifted to Zeon.
"Hmm?"
"I haven’t seen you for many years. You’ve finally co to your senses and reached the Supre Realm."
A trace of surprise flickered through her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe," Zeon scratched his head.
"I eat, drink, and play all day, but when it’s ti to cultivate, I still put in the effort."
"Sister, it’s been so long!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed toward Liora like an excited child.
Liora frowned slightly.
Before Zeon could get close—
She lifted her long, straight leg and kicked him away.
"Get lost!"
Her snort was cold and crisp.
Bang!
A dull sound echoed as Zeon was sent flying and smashed heavily onto the ground.
However, he was already used to his sister’s violence.
He jumped back up imdiately, brushed the dust from his clothes, and reappeared behind her.
Although the kick looked fierce, it hadn’t actually used much force.
Zeon hadn’t even lost a single layer of skin.
"Sister," Zeon said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "with such a bad temper, what if you can’t get married in the future?"
"Married?"
Liora replied calmly, yet with undeniable dominance.
"The man I like hasn’t appeared yet."
"So, sister," Zeon asked curiously, "what kind of man do you like?"
"Similar age," Liorareplied simply.
"No requirents for background."
"But his talent and strength must surpass mine."
"..."
Zeon nodded subconsciously.
At the sa ti, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"No, no, no..."
He hurriedly shook his head, trying to banish the thought.
"What are you muttering about?" Liora asked.
"It’s nothing," Zeon said quickly.
"I made a good friend before. His talent can only be described as astonishing."
"Ethan?" Lioraasked tentatively.
"Sister, you know about him?"
"I’ve been in Skyreach Territory for a while," Liora replied calmly.
"He’s ranked first on the Heavenly Prodigy List here. How could I not know?"
"Yeah," Zeon nodded. "Brother Ethan is way too famous."
"Nirvana Realm, slaying an Inferior Supre. If the rumors are true, his battle record is indeed terrifying."
"He could easily rank among the top five geniuses of the Verdant Lantern Empire."
"They’re absolutely true," Zeon said with pride.
"I was there at the ti."
"Oh?"
Liora’s interest was clearly piqued.
"That’s interesting. I happen to have so ti now."
"Take to et him."
"He’s cultivating under this Heavenly Lake," Zeon replied.
"He just successfully overca the tribulation. I think he’ll co out soon."
"Tribulation?" Liora asked.
"Supre Tribulation?"
"Yes," Zeon nodded. "Supre Tribulation."
"How long has he been cultivating?" she asked again.
"Almost ten years," Zeon replied.
"Ten years ago, Brother Ethan was only at the seventh-turn Nirvana Realm."
"But now, he’s already broken through to the Supre Realm."
"Sister," Zeon added proudly, "his cultivation speed is even faster than yours."
Liora fell silent for a mont.
Then she nodded slightly.
"It’s really incredible that the cultivation speed is so fast."
