As ominous light filled the Harmony Palace, the secret guards stationed in the immediate vicinity quickly gathered to report the
abnormal phenomenon to Rolando. Rolando was at first alarmed and confused by this development, but he quickly came to the
realization that it must have been Harper who caused this. 'She must have already obtained the last Heavenly Book and is now
unveiling its deepest secrets. That might be the reason for the appearance of such light!' he thought. And he was right—Harper
was the only key that would be able to decode the secrets embedded in the Heavenly Books.
"To the Harmony Palace now," he announced at once. He was craving to know more.
Meanwhile, in the Harmony Palace, Harper was already under a magical state of consciousness. Every character that could be
found in the Heavenly Book had turned into what seemed like small people, and they flew and danced joyously in the air before
they rushed into her body. Soon, she began the ritual—she closed her eyes and chanted as her hand performed the chant's
accompanying choreography. Unfortunately, it turned out that the Heavenly Books of the Qin Clan did not record any method that
one could do to achieve immortally—they merely recorded the cultivation methods of the Qin Clan.
When Rolando arrived, he found himself unable to enter Harper's room no matter what he did. It was as if there was an invisible
wall along its perimeters, preventing any outsider from entering.
"What's going on?" Rolando asked in a panicked tone as he stretched his hands out to feel what was hindering him from even
touching the door. When he felt and confirmed that indeed, there was an invisible barrier that was surrounding the room where
Harper was, he began to strike it, hoping to break it down. His first strike, however, made it clear that it would be impossible for

him to do that: his knuckle just bounced off of the unseen force field. 'Is this because of the Heavenly Books? What kind of
powerful secret was it keeping hidden?' he thought.
"Your Majesty, I don't think we would be able to enter Princess Harper's room no matter what we do," Fernando said helplessly.
"Ah!" A pained scream suddenly came from inside the room. The moment Rolando heard it, his face became drained of blood.

saw what was happening.
As much as Rolando wanted to explain to him what he was going through, he couldn't. He felt as if his heart was being crushed
into a million tiny pieces, and his body was being weighed down by something unseen. The pain was so unbearable that he felt
like it was killing him. At that same time, Harper's screams were becoming weaker and weaker, as if she was close to perishing.
"Harper..." Rolando muttered as sweat continued to drip down his face. He looked so weak and frail that one would think he
might fall down and lose consciousness at any minute. Fernando immediately tried to take him away to have him attended to, but
he refused to leave.
