In this dynasty, to the east, south, west, and north, there are three realms of extreme immortality and five places of extreme danger. The three realms of extreme immortality are Ling Mountain, Wuji Valley, and Tianshan, while the five places of extreme danger are Underworld, Wuhua Valley, Cliff of Doom, Ghost Valley, and Toxic Ridge. Luo Bingbing thought about how she must visit these places in the future to see what kind of immortal techniques they possess and whether they can compare to the Shangri-La of the Twenty-First Century, as well as what dangers they hold and if they can be compared to the Amazon rainforest.
The contents recorded in the Silver Moon Chronicles made Luo Bingbing fully understand her position in this place known as her country. She learned that she was currently in the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom—Silver City. It seemed that palace intrigues were quite intense, as only two sons and one daughter remained from the Predecessor Emperor: Crown Prince Dongfang Hao, Eastern Prince Yu, and Princess Dongfang Ling.
The current emperor is Crown Prince Dongfang Hao, who ascended to the throne six years ago. Despite the internal and external troubles facing the Silver Moon Kingdom at that time, he used his iron-fisted methods to turn it into a stronghold. Now, the Silver Moon Kingdom firmly holds the top position among the Four Great Empires. Her nominal Lord Father is the chief assistant minister of this iron-blooded emperor, indicating that this emperor trusts her nominal Lord Father quite a bit. However, there is an old saying in China: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked." It seems she will need to be cautious moving forward.
The Silver Moon Kingdom has only two princes; besides her nominal Lord Father, there is only Eastern Prince Yu. While royal brothers from other countries often fight fiercely against each other, Emperor Dongfang Hao and Eastern Prince Yu of the Silver Moon Kingdom have no such barriers between them; their relationship is exceptionally close.
According to the map recorded in the Silver Moon Chronicles, there is a vast Purple Bamboo Forest on the back mountain outside Silver City. The purple bamboo contains a large amount of Ability elements, which are Bing Bing's favorite.
Luo Bingbing thought to herself: "Since there is a vast Purple Bamboo Forest on the back mountain outside the city, then the Ability elements there must be abundant. If I go there to cultivate at night, my Ability can quickly recover to its previous level."
After inputting these valuable thoughts into her mind, Luo Bingbing prepared to return to her room to sleep. When she looked up, she saw Nursemaid's mouth agape as if she could fit an egg inside.
"Nursemaid, what happened?"
Hearing Bing Bing's voice brought Nursemaid back to her senses. She hurriedly asked, "Little Princess, how do you recognize these characters when you've never learned to read?"
"Nursemaid, there's no need to be surprised. I am self-taught; there are no characters in this world that I do not recognize. One must remain calm in all things!"
"Yes, Nursemaid remembers." Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Nursemaid quickly replied. But at that moment, Nursemaid had clearly forgotten that her Little Princess was just a six-year-old child.
"Let's go back and rest."
The starlight sparkled while moonlight poured down like water, casting a bright and cold glow that coldly gazed upon all living beings.
Under the moonlight, Luo Bingbing walked through the air above Shaded Ancient Path towards the Purple Bamboo Forest on Back Mountain Outside the City. She had come out at night after Nursemaid fell asleep.
The Shaded Ancient Path was lined with unknown trees, their oval leaves dancing in the gentle breeze before gracefully falling to the ground without a sound after swirling around a few times.
Due to her innate Ability, Luo Bingbing's night vision was almost indistinguishable from her daytime sight. She gazed into the distance at the mountain peaks, where mountains connected in a continuous chain, rising and falling like an endless cage that was both beautiful and captivating.
Time passed swiftly, and Bing Bing had already reached the heart of the Purple Bamboo Forest. Sharp bamboo leaves filled the air, burying all the mountain paths beneath a blanket of fallen leaves. It seemed that no one had set foot here for a long time; there were no signs of human presence, and the thick layer of leaves blended into the soil, becoming excellent fertilizer that would sprout new shoots in the following year, flourishing and then falling again in autumn, continuing this cycle.
Bing Bing found a spot rich in energy elements within the Purple Bamboo Forest and sat cross-legged to activate her Ability, setting up an invisible barrier. As her Ability coursed through her body, she was enveloped in a soft green light. One week passed, then two weeks; time slipped away unnoticed. The eastern sky began to lighten, stars and moon faded, leaving only one star still shining brightly—Morning Star—signifying that night had passed and dawn was approaching. Early birds flitted freely through the forest.
Luo Bingbing slowly opened her eyes and activated her Ability once more, only to discover that she had leveled up; her Ability had reached blue level, just one level away from her previous life! She couldn't help but shake her head in amazement at how extraordinary this body was! Oh my! It was truly remarkable!
It is known that higher-level Abilities are harder to cultivate; some members of her grandmother's family spent their entire lives without reaching blue level. In her previous life, Luo Bingbing took a year to advance from green level to blue level, so it was no wonder she was astonished—she was indeed a prodigy among prodigies!
After calming her excitement, Bing Bing immediately used her Ability to return to her room. The Nursemaid next door was still sweetly asleep and had not yet woken up. To avoid detection, she pretended to be sound asleep in bed while planning how to strengthen her frail body without constantly exhausting her Ability. After some thought, she devised a three-step plan for physical training.
First, she needed to eat more and supplement her nutrition to address the deficiencies in her underdeveloped body; this was essential.
Next came sunbathing; her skin was far too pale and lacked any color. She must have spent too much time hiding in corners and being bullied before. Now she needed to soak up some sunlight to achieve a healthier complexion.
Finally, she planned to practice Taekwondo and cultivate her Ability in the Purple Bamboo Forest at night. Although it would be somewhat challenging to practice Taekwondo with such a frail body, she accepted it for the sake of being able to walk confidently.
"Little Princess, are you awake?" came the gentle voice of the Nursemaid from outside the door.
"Nursemaid, I am awake."
"Shall I help you wash up?"
"Well, come in!" At the hour of Chen, the sun gradually rose, casting an orange-red glow that resembled dancing flames, a sight to behold. Under the sunlight, several elegant bamboo orchids bloomed brilliantly, swaying in the wind, showcasing their graceful forms and radiant smiles.
In this seemingly dilapidated yet exquisitely serene courtyard, an old rocking chair swayed as if it had a life of its own. On that rocking chair lay a small figure, a white handkerchief completely covering her delicate face. Her little legs were casually crossed as she inhaled the fragrance of flowers, enjoying a sunbath.
Warm sunlight poured over Bing Bing, and a gentle breeze brushed past her, cool and soothing, as if someone was lightly caressing her. The sounds of birds chirping filled the air, making all fatigue dissipate into dust, leaving only tranquility and comfort...
The nursemaid watching from the side grew increasingly confused, unable to understand what her young mistress was up to. Why would she want to bask in the sun? What if her tender skin got tanned?
As if sensing the nursemaid's doubts and confusion, Bing Bing stretched her tiny arms, and the mouth beneath the handkerchief moved slightly, producing a clear voice.
"Nursemaid, basking in the sun is very beneficial for the body. You should come over and enjoy it too!" The nursemaid walked over half-convinced, pulled up a chair beside Luo Bingbing, and closed her eyes to soak up the sun like Luo Bingbing. Surprisingly, after just an hour of sunbathing, the nursemaid began to feel the wonders of it. For some time afterward, one could see a middle-aged woman and a young child lying in the sun in that secluded courtyard every day. Fortunately, this courtyard was quiet; aside from the two of them, no one else paid attention. Otherwise, rumors would likely spread wildly throughout the royal residence.
At night, most people in the large royal residence had fallen asleep except for the guards on duty. However, there was one young child who should have been sleeping but was stealthily moving through the palace, evading guards and patrols. Relying on her abilities, Bing Bing easily avoided both visible guards and hidden sentinels and soon arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest outside Back Mountain.
After carefully observing the area within a five-mile radius and finding no signs of others, she sat cross-legged and recalled her Taekwondo training from memory. She filtered through it in her mind before starting with basic techniques.
Having practiced those skills in the twenty-first century and being a top-tier expert in her previous life with a tenth-degree black belt—rarely achieved even in modern times—she found herself quite familiar with it now. The only things lacking were time and training. She believed that it wouldn't be long before she regained her previous level of skill.
At first, she performed mechanical movements of raising her fists and kicking her legs slowly outwards before retracting them just as slowly. To an ordinary person witnessing these strange motions, it might seem ridiculous; after all, many would think it looked like a child merely posing. But those who truly understood would recognize that this was anything but ordinary. Every movement she made pursued perfection; nearly every muscle was engaged. Even a simple kick was executed almost flawlessly.
