There were no ocean demon guards on the white coral island, since the important white coral didn’t grow on the island but rather in the ocean near the island.

Once Chu Mu and Ning Maner entered the island, they were able to move as they pleased. 

White Island was rather large and it resembled a slightly sloped plain. 

For some reason, not a single inch of grass grew within ten meters of the Heaven Boundary Monument. The area around the island grew white corals and the outside of the island was verdant and lush. However, the Heaven Boundary monument was completely barren without any plants. 

Chu Mu stepped on the sand, and walked towards the Heaven Boundary Monument.

The Heaven Boundary Monument was imposing and tall. When standing under it, one would feel insignificantly small. Under its enormous shadow where the shadow met the ground, that area formed a slightly chaotic space where strange warps would occur. 

Chu Mu stood under the Heaven Boundary Monument’s shadow. If the Heaven Boundary Monument wanted to tell a Monument Tear Individual something, standing in the Heaven Boundary Monument’s shadow would allow one to enter the Heaven Boundary Monument’s recorded fantasy realm. 

Chu Mu stepped there in hopes of seeing the image conjured by the shadow. 

Ning Maner followed Chu Mu. She was also curious about what this Heaven Boundary Monument on the ocean would say. 

The shadow grew denser as rays of light poured through the mass of clouds in the sky, shining on the island. When these rays of light tried to illuminate the shadow, they seemed to enter another dimension as they mysteriously disappeared. 

Space warped and the light rays disappeared. 

It was like a drip of ink dropping into water where it then rippled apart began to depict a scene. This special scene appeared in front of Chu Mu and Ning Maner. 

Chu Mu and Ning Maner walked in this drawing. Initially, space-time only drew the scenery right around them. 

Underneath them were ice jade markings. Beside them were a few jade railings. Outside of the jade railings, there was nothing. All Chu Mu could see was chaos. 

As Chu Mu pulled Ning Maner forwards, strangely, the scene began to slowly unfold. It was like a light had been shined upon a stage. Everything around them was pitch black. The only thing that could be seen was whatever the light illuminated.  

The space-time perspective followed Chu Mu’s choices. Wherever Chu Mu and Ning Maner decided to move, the space-time would begin to draw the scenery… 

When they reached the railings, the chaos turned into a pitch-black and deep abyss under a cliff. 

When they reached the inside of the railings, a jade palace that resembled a heavenly palace appeared in front of Chu Mu. It was grand, divine, but also cold and lonely. 

Chu Mu stood in the scene of the past and looked at the jade palace which only revealed the corner of an ice mountain. A familiar feeling suddenly welled up inside him. 

“I’ve seen this place before!” Chu Mu was very sure. 

Although his range of view was very narrow, the feeling of familiarity still rapidly surged in him. 

Chu Mu tried hard to remember. He kept feeling that the familiarity didn’t come from the Heaven Boundary Monument’s memories but rather from himself. 

Suddenly, Chu Mu remembered something. 

He pulled Ning Maner’s hand, and he began to fly in a direction. 

Chu Mu’s flying speed was very fast and the space-time scene was continuously drawn. 

Chu Mu flew in the opposite direction as this jade palace and flew into the aesthetically beautiful heavenly palace. 

After rushing through the shrubby land, Chu Mu finally found the scene he was looking for! 

Perhaps this couldn’t be called a land, because the land here came to an end! 

A zigzagging precipice lay next to Chu Mu. If he took a few more steps forward, he would fall into a bottomless abyss. 

The space-time scene only allowed Chu Mu to see the darkness near the cliff. 

However, in Chu Mu’s own memories, this precipice line that snaked on for millions and millions of kilometers was endless darkness!! 

This was an end. Ahead of him was darkness as boundless as a galaxy. Going down would only drop him into a black hole of nothingness! 

However, Chu Mu remembered a shocking scene from his memories: 

A young woman wistfully yet enchantingly had jumped off from here. Her beautiful body was swallowed up bit by bit by the merciless darkness. 

She tightly closed her eyes, removing any meaningless thoughts from her heart. She opened her arms and helplessly, yet madly, let out a laugh, embracing the darkness and evil! 

    ……

“Why is it her?!” Chu Mu was stunned. 

Chu Mu was standing at the same end of the land. His heart was in turmoil. 

Was the fifth Heaven Boundary Monument telling him the story of the Evil Good Queen?! 

However, shouldn’t the Heaven Boundary Monument be telling him things about ancient history? The Evil Good Queen had been born in this era. There was no reason why it should be recorded on this Heaven Boundary Monument. 

Yu Suo wasn’t a thousand or ten thousand year old monster. Chu Mu was certain of this. She was a few years older than Chu Mu. He had determined this from her soul remembrance rings.

Whether it was the Ancient Beast Soul, the Seven Sins Fox, the Son of Eternal Ocean or the Messiah Tree, they could be considered as creatures of the last great era. Their histories could be traced back several thousand or even ten thousand years. 

On the other hand, the Evil Good Queen was born in the current era. Why did the ancient Heaven Boundary Monument have an imprint of her matters? Unless her memory Monument Tear had been placed in this Heaven Boundary Monument… 

“That’s not right.” suddenly, Chu Mu creased his brows. 

This Heaven Boundary Monument wasn’t telling Yu Suo’s story. 

Indeed, in the scene, Chu Mu hadn’t seen either Yu Suo or the Evil Good Progenitor.     

The reason why Chu Mu would remember the scene where the young woman threw herself into darkness’s embrace was because Chu Mu had obtained a few fragmented memories from Yu Suo in the past. 

This place indeed was the same as in Yu Suo’s memories. However, this only meant that this place existed. The fifth Heavenly Boundary Monument’s scene thus occurred in the same place. 

However, where was this place? 

This was a heavenly palace that shouldn’t exist in the world. A land that seemed to be suspended in air as well as a boundless ocean of darkness… 

It seemed that he would have to ask Yu Suo if he wanted to find the answer. 

Chu Mu left the precipice and brought Ning Maner back to the heavenly palace completely built out of fine jade. 

A few strangely dressed people could be seen in an aerial corridor. They stood there like statues, unmoving. 

“Hua la la~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, the sound of a wave striking the area rang out. 

The scene in front of Chu Mu warped and immediately after, and an enormous wave from somewhere under the stairs surged up. 

The enormous wave kept moving upwards, growing taller and taller. It devoured the steps and the railings and seemed like it was going to devour the entire beautiful heavenly palace!

The scene changed very quickly. In the next instant, Chu Mu witnessed part of the heavenly palace submerged underwater. A few blurry figures flashed in front of his eyes and entered the chaotic fight. 

“Hua!!!!”

A white wave rose. On top of this wave, Chu Mu could see a proud flood dragon! 

The wave that looked like it was going to devour the sky was under the control of the White Flood Dragon! 

Chu Mu had seen a white dragon before in Zhengming Main City. That was Human Leader Xiao Xueang’s main pet. It was the only creature that could fight the Ten Thousand Year Undying Dark Death King.  

However, compared to the White Flood Dragon riding on the wave that was inevitably going to devour the heavenly palace, Xiao Xueang’s White Dragon was extremely insignificant! 

This White Flood Dragon was an, in the full sense of the world, Ocean King. Even though he was separated by several time-space realms, Chu Mu could feel its supreme aura that commanded the entire ocean!!

Perhaps the Undying ranks of legends were just like this! 

“Hong hong hong~~~~~”

The ocean roared and billowed. Chu Mu only had a very narrow range of vision. When the surging water reached the stars, the only thing he could see was the violent water energy. 

Neither Chu Mu nor Ning Maner could see anything else. Gradually, the overflowing and imposing noise in their ears faded. 

The scene warped once more. Chu Mu knew that he was leaving the space-time of the past… 

Everything disappeared. Chu Mu originally thought he would be able to see Undying rank strength that was the most stunning in this world. 

Unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to see it. 

He could feel that this Undying rank White Flood Dragon was going to destroy the heavenly palace! 

Its anger had reached the limit, and it was going to use the ocean to punish the heavens! 

“Big brother, why was that white ocean king so angry? Did it really destroy the heavenly palace?” Ning Maner’s mind still lingered with the stunning scene. 

Chu Mu shook his head and said: “It failed.” 

“Eh? It failed?” Ning Maner was stunned. 

Besides the Messiah Tree, the White Flood Dragon was the strongest creature Ning Maner had seen. She even felt that the White Flood Dragon was probably on the same rank as Grandfather Messiah Tree! 

This kind of creature could basically be called a god. Was there anything in the world that could stop a god if it wanted to destroy something? 

“Big brother, why do you know that it failed?” asked Ning Maner, confused. 

In truth, Chu Mu himself couldn’t believe that the Undying rank strength White Flood Dragon had failed. But reality said that it had failed. 

The fifth Heaven Boundary Monument had probably depicted the story of an ocean king White Flood Dragon from some great era. Chu Mu had seen the heavenly palace it was destroying. 

But the heavenly palace still existed. 

Because Yu Suo, from this era, had the complete heavenly palace in her memories.     

The Ancient Beast Soul, the Seven Sins Fox, the Eternal Ocean Flood Dragon Devil, the Messiah Tree, the White Flood Dragon… 

What was the Heaven Boundary Monument saying? 

Where was this Undying rank White Flood Dragon that was unable to destroy the heavenly palace? 

Additionally, Yu Suo had come from that heavenly palace. 

The various puzzles made Chu Mu suddenly realize something. The Heaven Boundary Monument wasn’t simply talking about the Seven Sins Fox’s mystery. 

“Big brother, what did you come up with?” softly asked Ning Maner. 

“Didn’t your grandfather tree say that the stronger you got, the clearer you would be able to see things?” said Chu Mu.

“Yup.” Ning Maner nodded her head. 

In the past, Chu Mu didn’t know what the Heavenly Boundary Monuments meant. However, as he gradually came into touch with the pinnacle rank creatures in the world, he suddenly discovered that all powerful legends had something to do with the Heaven Boundary Monument. 

Unwittingly, he himself was slowly coming into touch with these legends. 

Did all Monument Tear Individuals unwittingly link these stories together like this? Or was it only him?
