Mo Yu told Xu Yourong about Tianhai Ya'er's past assassination attempt on Chen Changsheng. As expected, Xu Yourong speculated that this matter might have been tacitly allowed by The Empress. Although Mo Yu repeatedly explained that The Empress had already reprimanded Tianhai Ya'er, Xu Yourong did not agree with The Empress's lenient attitude towards the matter. She suddenly felt a hint of disapproval towards the path of cultivation that The Empress and others had always imposed on her.

The Heavenly Book Mausoleum opened as scheduled. Under the explanation of Jijin, the white-robed stele attendant, everyone entered the Heavenly Book Mausoleum to begin observing and comprehending the steles. Naturally, people from the National Academy were among them, but Luoluo was not this time. It turned out that due to monsters infiltrating the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, The Empress had specifically instructed Jinyulu to keep Luoluo in the Herb Garden.

Chen Changsheng and Tang Sanshiliu soon arrived at the place where Han Qing, the Great Zhou's first divine general, guarded the mausoleum. Chen Changsheng's goal for this trip was the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, but to reach the top, he first had to defeat Han Qing to pass the divine path and ascend. However, how could Chen Changsheng, merely in the Tonyou realm, easily approach Han Qing?

Since this path was blocked, Chen Changsheng simply stopped wasting time and left directly. Just as everyone began observing and comprehending the steles, Chen Changsheng seemed to wander aimlessly within the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. Meanwhile, Luoluo on the other side was full of complaints because she couldn't go to the Heavenly Book Mausoleum with them. But what made her even more displeased was that the White Emperor had actually sent General Xiao De of the demons to protect Luoluo.

Speaking of General Xiao De, it could be said that he and Luoluo had been at odds since childhood. The two had bickered all the way from youth to adulthood, and Xiao De, having inherited the White Emperor's cultivation method, had always clamored to marry Luoluo, which made Luoluo utterly sick of him. However, Chen Changsheng in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, by a series of coincidences, arrived at the small cottage where Xun Mei lived.

Chen Changsheng, who didn't know much about the Divine Capital, didn't realize that the person in front of him was Xun Mei. Fortunately, Tang Sanshiliu appeared in time, informing him that the person before him was the Xun Mei whom Xu Yourong had specifically asked him to find. Back then, Xun Mei was also a brilliant talent of her generation, and like Chen Changsheng, she was the top scholar of the Grand Court Examination.

However, she always harbored an obsession in her heart: to defeat Wang Po, the master of that era, and thus she stayed in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum for thirty-nine years. Such persistence, in Chen Changsheng's view, was somewhat biased. He always believed that people's pursuit of martial arts and their desire to become stronger should not be confined to the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, thereby becoming stagnant. Unexpectedly, Chen Changsheng's words enlightened Xun Mei.

She suddenly realized that she had been trapped in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum all along due to her inner demons. Now, hearing Chen Changsheng's words, she became even more convinced that she must brave the divine path and ascend to the top of the mausoleum, so as not to betray her ultimate pursuit of becoming a supreme expert. Even if her divine consciousnesses were annihilated in the process, it would not be a wasted life in this world.

Watching Xun Mei leave decisively, Chen Changsheng hastily chased after her. He had intended to persuade Xun Mei not to personally take such a risk, but Xun Mei's resolve to leave was firm. Looking at the sincere Chen Changsheng, Xun Mei told him the secret of Zhou Dufu's stele observation. It turned out that what Zhou Dufu observed back then was not the inscription, but a drawing.

Xun Mei's courage not only made her dare to face Han Qing, the Great Zhou's first divine general, but also deeply shocked Chen Changsheng, making him no longer fear the shackles of destiny. Watching Xun Mei unleash her divine consciousnesses to challenge Han Qing, she was struck down after only a few rounds, yet even so, she did not flinch. She even closed her eyes slowly with a satisfied smile.

As she departed the world, she finally saw Wang Po's soul, smiling freely and casually, as if he had been waiting for her for a very long time. After burying Xun Mei, Chen Changsheng and Tang Sanshiliu returned to Xun Mei's small courtyard. Xuanyuan Po also came to meet them there, and coincidentally, Gou Hanshi and Qijian also arrived.

Realizing that this was where Xun Mei had lived for thirty-nine years, Chen Changsheng thought that Xun Mei might have left notes on how to decipher the steles. However, while the notes were good, Chen Changsheng did not fully adopt them. The so-called observation of steles is to observe one's own comprehension and understanding. When Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi came to observe the steles, they increasingly felt their profoundness.

The two also had different insights and opinions on the method of deciphering the steles. However, Jijin was very displeased with their conversation, feeling that they were too arrogant, and his words were full of dissatisfaction and doubt towards Chen Changsheng. In fact, everything that happened in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum did not escape the Pope's eyes. Although he knew that Jijin repeatedly made things difficult for Chen Changsheng, he did not intervene to stop him.

After all, if Chen Changsheng wanted to go further and become stronger, he could only rely on his own strength. Even if the Pope knew that Jijin's actions were intended to disturb Chen Changsheng's state of mind and prevent him from successfully comprehending the steles, if Chen Changsheng could not maintain his composure, then even if the Pope intervened, it would not bring any change for Chen Changsheng.

However, Chen Changsheng at this moment was not in a hurry to comprehend the steles and attain enlightenment. He was still diligently researching his own unique method of deciphering the steles. But danger also arrived quickly; the black-robed figure had already quietly infiltrated the Heavenly Book Mausoleum and used magic to put Han Qing into a deep sleep.

Although at this time, Xu Yourong, Qiu Shanjun, and Mo Yu also entered the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, their magical powers could not, after all, compare to that of the black-robed figure.
