"Mnn…"


Isabella also woke up in the same way, groggy and with a headache.


She was p.i.s.sed to sense that her personal belongings were taken away, replaced with a white robe. She made it golden by coating it in her martial energy. However, it gave off too many undulations, causing her to return to wearing a plain white robe.


Her mood wasn"t the greatest, but to her shock, she found that there were three items in her inner world.


[Defend]


[Escape]


[Escape]


She got two escape talismans in exchange for all her belongings taken away. She didn"t know if it was the case for all, but this made her mood somewhat improve as she had two lives with this escape talisman.


She gained some confidence that she wouldn"t die easily.


Furthermore, she also found that her soul was healed.


It made her smile and nod before finally patting her robe, brus.h.i.+ng off the dirt as she stood up. She was still p.i.s.sed that she had no way to contact her sisters as their belongings were taken away, but still, she shrugged.


With the state they were in, they couldn"t afford to be wiped out at the same time.


"Let"s see… where am I…?"


Isabella looked at her surroundings and saw that she was standing near a volcanic site. She couldn"t see properly as she was in a valley, but she imagined that if she went to the peak, she would know more about her surroundings.


She was also impressed by the dense heaven and earth energy around her, feeling that it could help Immortal Emperors improve three times faster.


This couldn"t be usually achieved without a large amount of High-Level Immortal Crystals being burned to power Energy Condensation Formations, which extracts the heaven and earth energy from the immortal crystals into a refined state, allowing humans to absorb it easier.


She jumped and found that the s.p.a.ce here was much more dense, which meant she was unable to fly. She could hover like in the Grand Immortal Mountain Peak, but here, she could barely maintain such an expense as her energy kept reducing at a rapid rate.


"Same dense s.p.a.ce as the Grand Immortal Mountain Peak, but due to my cultivation being reduced to Level One Immortal King Stage… I can"t hover…"


Isabella shook her head.


Looked like she had no choice but to climb the valley, causing her to run towards the mountain and pounce on it, her fingers practically piercing through the rock. Holding the rocks like a dragon, she began climbing easily.


Some areas of the surface were too hard to pierce through, so she jumped to the other side and tried making her way up. She did that maneuver many times, but upon jumping sideways and forcing her fingers into the rock again, she found it formidable and started sliding down.


"Ooh!"


Although her fingers lacked nails, the tips of her fingers were like claws, leaving a dragon claw"s trail on the mountain as she slid halfway down before she finally managed to pierce through again, causing her to stare at the mountain.


She inwardly vowed to definitely destroy this mountain if it kept hindering her climb.


Perhaps, heeding her threat, the mountains no longer interfered as she made a jump sideways and climbed up all the way to the peak.


"…"


As soon as she stepped onto the peak, her eyes went wide as she saw the myriad of light rays that shone on the skies. She wondered what they were, but as she looked around, she eventually chanced upon a monument that had something etched on it.


[Candidates have the right to life by forsaking the treasures obtained so far and leaving the Crystal World through the Crystal Gate. This does not include the rewards they earned by clearing the trials.]


"…?"


Crystal World…?


Crystal Gate…?


Isabella blinked at these strange terms that she hadn"t seen before. Then again, if this was the Crystal World, where was the Crystal Gate?


She had no idea.


However, she looked closer and found something strange behind it.


"Someone"s there…"


Isabella couldn"t tell much as her senses didn"t extend past two meters, but she could feel strange undulations from behind, reminiscent of that of a human"s. She felt someone was hiding beyond the monument, causing her to turn cautious.


She had two choices placed in front of her.


She could avoid the confrontation since the other party obviously seemed to be hiding from her. This meant that they had seen her climbing up and chose to hide before she could see them.


Isabella narrowed her eyes.


She took a step back, but it didn"t sit well with her that the other party knew who she was, but she didn"t know who they were.


She kept her stance ready to use an Escape Talisman and circled around the monument. When she got the other side, she saw a white-robed man sitting behind the monument and trembling while holding his head.


Instantly, she recognized his features.


"Well, well, if it isn"t little Yi Feng…"


Isabella"s lips curled into an amused smile.


"Ah!"


Yi Feng stood up and looked around, spotting Isabella as his expression churned with fear.


"Don"t kill me. I swear I don"t want to fight anyone."


"…"


He raised his hands in surrender and trembled, causing Isabella to pity him. In her eyes, this child was not ready for the Candidacy. However, she didn"t underestimate him one bit, as Davis had said that his prowess was strange and might be able to match an Empyreal Monarch.


If anyone was going to die, it was her.


However, Yi Feng didn"t know that. He didn"t know her prowess was sealed.


Isabella knew Yi Feng most likely thought he wouldn"t be able to match her even with his Level Two Immortal King Stage cultivation and a prowess that could be eight or nine levels higher, but the reality was she would be dead in under a second if she doesn"t use the Escape Talisman in an exchange with him.


"Strange… if it was the usual me… I would"ve been honest to a child like him and proposed to be allies… but I want to make use of him…"


Isabella"s eyes narrowed at her own thoughts, knowing it was Davis"s influence on her. She wanted to hoodwink Yi Feng into being her protector, the same as what Davis did for her back then.


However, she was still prideful and felt some embarra.s.sment over using a child as a s.h.i.+eld.


Then again, she knew Evelynn wouldn"t hesitate to use Yi Feng as a s.h.i.+eld, as she did say she could forsake almost anything.


"My husband spared your life at the Mercurial Blitz Ice Valley and let go of you without soulscouring you despite the sudden intrusion of your presence, which could"ve put all life there in jeopardy. When are you going to repay that debt? Are you from a shameless imperial family?"


"Ah… I said it…"


Isabella felt a bitter sensation in her honor but couldn"t help but feel excited.
