Last Year at This Door

Zhang Ruochen could not escape whatever he needed to face, after all.

Yueshen sent him out of the Celestial Court and unlocked the Qiankun Realm's seal within his Sea of Qi.

He conjured a spiritual avatar and entered the Qiankun Realm, arriving at the Central Shengming Empire's imperial burial grounds. Then, he appeared before a large tomb.

Before Zhang Ruochen left the Kunlun Realm, he had moved the imperial tombs and imperial ancestral halls into the Qiankun Realm.

Now, he was standing before a tombstone.

The words, "Tomb of the Empress" were engraved on the tombstone.

Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Ming had told him that his mother was buried in the Tomb of the Empress, and Zhang Ruochen had always believed those words.

Now, however, he needed to verify it himself.

Zhang Ruochen stood in place for a long time and took a deep breath before he released his spiritual power. It spread all across the tomb to explore it.
