《I Have Already Maxed Out My Level And Now You Tell Me This Is A Fantasy World》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qingyang Town. West of the city. In the wilderness and dense forest. In the vast dense forest, hidden endless dangers await. This dense forest was the paradise of fierce beasts. Walking in it, the roars of fierce beasts could be heard endlessly. At the outermost edge of the wilderness and dense forest, Su Yang had just killed a grade one one-eyed demon rat with a long sword in his hand. Hu¡­ Su Yang let out a long breath. He had already killed nearly 100 one-eyed demon mice in the morning. After putting his sword away, Su Yang looked at the one-eyed demon rat that was no longer breathing. He summoned the game panel that he had. [ Name: Su Yang. ] [ Level: 99. ] [ Strength: Unknown. ] [ Speed: Unknown. ] [ Defense: Unknown. ] [ Current experience points: 1/10,000. ] [ Occupation: None. ] [ Skill: Wine brewing. ] [ Mission: None. ] ¡°Sigh! The experience points given by killing the one-eyed demon rat are getting lower.¡± After reading it, Su Yang casually complained and planned to return the way he came. He was not originally from this world. For some reason, he had accidentally come into this world. He also awakened the game panel that only existed in games. So, Su Yang always thought that he had transmigrated into a game world. In the beginning, Su Yang thought that he could change his class as long as he reached level 20. However, until he reached level 90, he still could not find a way to do so. Su Yang had once wondered if this was a game world. However, the game panel was real, which led him to believe that only when he reached level 99 could he change his class. In this dangerous world, without successfully changing his class, he had no footing in this place. So, he spent ten years farming the one-eyed demon rat. Earlier, he finally reached level 99. He thought that he could start the class change. However, he was disappointed to find that there was still no entrance for him to complete it. ¡°Could it be that I have to reach level 100 before I can complete the class change?¡± Su Yang¡¯s expression darkened as he muttered to himself helplessly. It had already taken him a lot of time to reach level 99. If he were to level up to level 100, the one-eyed demon rats in the forest would probably not even be enough for him to farm. He walked back dejectedly. At this moment, he suddenly felt that there was something in the sky. Su Yang raised his head and looked over. In the next second, he was stunned on the spot. His pupils dilated unconsciously. ¡°An immortal flying on a sword? There are flying immortals in this game world?¡± Just as he was in a daze, the immortal who was flying on a sword in the sky flew in front of Su Yang. Su Yang looked at the immortal in front of him. He was dressed in a white robe and had long, delicate hair. He was handsome and elegant, and his brows revealed the mysterious temperament of an immortal. It was difficult for people to feel distant from him. Long Yuan jumped down from the sword from a height of more than ten meters above the ground. Surprisingly, there was not a single speck of dust when he landed. The tip of his feet lightly tapped on the ground, and he stood steadily in front of Su Yang. Looking at Su Yang, Long Yuan bowed his head slightly and asked, ¡°May I ask fellow immortal, do you know where the Heavenly Mountain Gate is?¡± Hearing Long Yuan¡¯s words, Su Yang¡¯s heart was filled with countless question marks. What? Immortal cultivators flying on a sword? And a sect? ¡®D*mn it, I finally reached level 99. I might change my class soon. You¡¯re telling me that this isn¡¯t a game world, but an immortal cultivation world? Do you want me to change my class to a warrior or a magician? Thereafter get beaten up by the immortal cultivators of this world?¡¯ When he heard this news, Su Yang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He had been diligently farming the one-eyed demon rat for more than ten years. ¡®Are you telling me that this isn¡¯t a game world?¡¯ At this moment, a voice rang out in his mind. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching level 99 to meet the system activation conditions. Now, please choose the cultivation method. ] [ 1. Farming demons to level up the cultivation method. The increase in experience is slow, but the advantage is long lasting! ] [ 2. Kill a person and become famous, and obtain an explosive cultivation point. This will help the host become strong as soon as possible! ] [3. I want all of them! ] ¡®Only a child would make a choice. Of course, I want all of them.¡¯ ¡°Fellow immortal.¡± Seeing that the person in front of him was in a daze, Long Yuan waved his hand in front of Su Yan and called out to him. Only then did Su Yang realize that he had lost his composure. He smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was distracted earlier.¡± ¡°As for the so-called Sky Mountain Gate that you mentioned, I don¡¯t know where it is either.¡± Hearing this, Long Yuan¡¯s eyes suddenly revealed a disappointed look. He had been flying in this area for a day and a night but he had not found the Sky Mountain Gate for a long time. His mission this time was related to the survival of the sect. Moreover, there was not much time left for him. It was not easy to meet a person here, but that person did not know about the Sky Mountain Gate. For a moment, Long Yuan¡¯s face turned solemn. Then, he became anxious. Looking at his anxious look, Su Yang thought for a moment and said, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know where the Sky Mountain Gate is, I think someone in Qingyang Town would know.¡± Hearing this, Long Yuan immediately became spirited. He looked at Su Yang with eyes full of gratitude and hurriedly asked, ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, could you please take me there?¡± Su Yang naturally had no intention of refusing him. Moreover, it was on the way. The two of them walked together and returned to Qingyang Town. The endless streets were filled with vendors. ¡°Yo, Boss Su is back. How¡¯s the harvest today?¡± an uncle who sold fish exposed his golden teeth and asked with a silly smile. Su Yang also replied with enthusiasm, ¡°Haha, today¡¯s results are pretty good. If you have nothing to do tonight, remember to come and have a drink or two.¡± ¡°Sure! I¡¯ve been craving for a drink for a long time.¡± Along the way, almost everyone greeted Su Yang. The reason why these people were very familiar with Su Yang was because he operated a pub offering cheap and delicious food and beverage. In this unfamiliar world, if Su Yang did not have a stable business, he would have starved to death on the street. The two walked to the end of the street. A small tavern appeared in front of them. It did not have a name. There was only a plaque on the door, with the word ¡°wine¡± written on it. Long Yuan looked at the word. He was instantly attracted by it and couldn¡¯t extricate himself for a long time. It seemed to be an ordinary word ¡°wine¡±. For some reason, Long Yuan felt that his state of mind suddenly became broader when he looked at the word. It was as if he had entered a brand new world, and he was the god looking down on the whole world. That kind of artistic conception and charm, and the bottleneck that he could not break through for a long time loosened a little. Before he finished appreciating it, he heard Su Yang¡¯s voice. ¡°What are you standing there for? Come in quickly. Although my tavern isn¡¯t big, there are quite a number of people. When the time comes, I believe that someone will know the whereabouts of Heavenly Mountain Gate. ¡°If you¡¯re not in a hurry, come in and sit for a while. I¡¯ll cook two dishes and prepare some wine for you.¡± Long Yuan did not even know why he walked in a daze. As soon as he stepped in, he was shocked by the smell in the tavern. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Long Yuan could feel that the entire tavern was filled with endless dao charms. What shocked him even more was that these dao charms were not as difficult to comprehend as other charms. In just a few dozen seconds, Long Yuan had already absorbed a large amount of them. Just as he sat on the chair, Long Yuan¡¯s pupils instantly enlarged. His body was undergoing an earth-shaking change. The bottleneck of the meridian condensation realm that had troubled him for a long time had broken through? Had he already become an expert? Long Yuan turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, and his eyes filled with a solemn expression. ¡°Could it be that this senior is some reclusive big shot?¡± Su Yang carried two plates of simple home-cooked dishes and brought them to Long Yuan. A plate of chive and eggs, a plate of stir-fried meat with garlic, and a bottle of wine. Seeing that the senior was taking care of him, Long Yuan¡¯s face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat continuously broke out on his forehead. Long Yuan hurriedly stood up, took the plates, and said respectfully, ¡°Senior, this can¡¯t do.¡± Senior? Su Yang was shocked by Long Yuan¡¯s way of addressing him. ¡®Why does this kid call me senior? Is it because I gave him a place to rest? He¡¯s really a polite guy.¡¯ Su Yang quickly waved his hand and said, ¡°This way of addressing me isn¡¯t appropriate. My name is Su Yang. You can call me Mr. Su.¡± Long Yuan also realized his mistake when he heard that. Since senior wanted to stay hidden from the world, he naturally did not want his identity to be known by others. He quickly corrected his mistake and said, ¡°Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Su. My name is Long Yuan. I¡¯m the disciple of Jiu Jian of the Heavenly Sword Sect.¡± Su Yang waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. However, he was still very shocked by Long Yuan¡¯s identity although he did not know what kind of sect the Heavenly Sword Sect was. However, with the identity of Jiu Jian¡¯s disciple, it meant that Long Yuan¡¯s status was definitely extraordinary. An existence with such a high status actually called him a rank one immortal senior. It was enough to see that the Heavenly Sword Sect¡¯s upbringing was really high. After traveling for a day and a night, Long Yuan was indeed a little hungry. Looking at the delicacies on the table¡­ Growl¡­ His stomach unexpectedly started to growl. Long Yuan felt extremely awkward. He actually lost his composure in front of his senior. What should he do? Just as Long Yuan was at a loss, Su Yang suddenly laughed and said, ¡°Try the chive and eggs. It¡¯s good! The chives were planted by our family. It¡¯s all-natural. The eggs were laid by our family¡¯s old hen.¡± Looking at Su Yang¡¯s slightly meaningful smile, Long Yuan was shocked. Even senior¡¯s tavern contained such profound dao charms. If this senior planted the chives himself, how could it compare to an egg? ¡®Why was senior treating me so well? Could it be that senior had taken a liking to my talent? Does he want to nurture me? Is this a golden opportunity?¡¯ Thinking of this, Long Yuan no longer hesitated. He began to eat in large mouthfuls. In less than three minutes, all the food on the table had been wiped out by him. After the meal, Long Yuan felt that his body had changed again. He had just broken through to the golden core rank. However, after the meal, he had broken through to the third level of the golden core stage? Was this true? One had to know that even a genius with monstrous talent would need at least three months to transition from the golden core stage to the third level of the golden core stage. He actually broke through overnight? Who was the senior who had just saved him nearly half a year of cultivation in just one meal? This¡­ Long Yuan knew that senior was definitely an unworldly expert, but he did not expect that he was so strong. He originally wanted to properly thank Su Yang, but when he saw Su Yang¡¯s half-smiling gaze, he was shocked. Senior must be telling me not to speak nonsense. Seeing that Long Yuan liked his food so much, as a chef, he was naturally very happy. Su Yang picked up the white porcelain wine bottle on the table and poured a cup for Long Yuan. He smiled and introduced, ¡°This is the wine that I personally brewed. You won¡¯t be able to drink it anywhere else.¡± When Long Yuan heard this, he instantly became spirited. The food that senior casually made had such a powerful effect. How great would the wine that he personally brewed be? Long Yuan looked at the wine that was still sparkling in the cup. His eyes were filled with greed. He unconsciously swallowed his saliva. The wine that senior brewed must be incomparably precious. He had already received such a great favor from senior. If he were to drink senior¡¯s wine, would he not become a formidable person? Although he really wanted to drink it, he refused. He respectfully said, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to drink that.¡± Su Yang smiled and said, ¡°How can a man say that he can¡¯t? Moreover, the weather outside is humid. Drinking some wine can also warm you up.¡± ¡®Since senior said so, if I don¡¯t drink it¡­ Wouldn¡¯t it be disrespectful to senior?¡¯ Thinking of this, Long Yuan did not hesitate. He picked up the cup, raised his head, and drank it in one gulp. ¡°Cough, cough, cough¡­¡± Suddenly, Long Yuan choked on the strong burning sensation in his throat and his tears rolled down. ¡°Hahaha.¡± Seeing Long Yuan¡¯s miserable appearance, Su Yang burst into laughter. ¡°This wine is indeed strong, but it¡¯s brewed from pure grains. It¡¯s good for the body. Close your eyes and taste its flavor.¡± Long Yuan did as he was told and closed his eyes without hesitation. In an instant, he felt that his body had undergone an earth-shaking change. The wine that he drank had turned into majestic spirit energy. It flowed through his body and brought waves of warmth wherever it passed. That feeling was extremely comfortable as if the spring breeze caressed his face. Finally, the spirit energy transformed gathered in the spirit root in his lower abdomen. Every immortal cultivator had a spirit root. It was divided into four grades ¨C human spirit root, earth spirit root, heavenly spirit root, and supreme spirit root. Each spirit root was also divided into nine grades. The vast majority of cultivators had human spirit roots. Those who had earth spirit roots were peerless geniuses. As for heaven spirit root, every one of them was a heavenly chosen one. Once they were born, they would become an existence that everyone in the world had to hold in high regard. As for supreme spiritual roots, up until now, Long Yuan had never heard of anyone possessing it. He possessed grade nine human spirit root, which was considered a genius. Otherwise, how could he have become a disciple of ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Sect? However, Long Yuan discovered that his spirit root had leveled up. It had become an earth spirit root that was one in ten thousand. This discovery immediately made him ecstatic. Even if he had just broken through, he was far from being happy at this moment. A breakthrough in cultivation was only a matter of time. However, having an earth spirit root meant that he had an unlimited future. If it was before, his achievements in life would have reached the level of his master, which was the deity transformation stage. With the earth spirit root, he could even return to void stage. It was not impossible for him to reach the dao fusing stage. The realms in this world were divided into qi refinement, foundation establishment, meridian formation, golden core, nascent soul stage, deity transformation, return to void, dao fusing, tribulation transcending, and Mahayana. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Long Yuan looked at Su Yang with gratitude in his eyes. Although to senior this was just an ordinary cup of wine, to Long Yuan, this kind of opportunity would change his life. Thud. Long Yuan kneeled on the ground, cupped his fists, and said with a serious tone, ¡°Senior, I can¡¯t repay you for your great kindness. If the sect can survive this crisis, Long Yuan is willing to do anything for you.¡± As he said this, Long Yuan was about to kowtow. Seeing this, Su Yang hurriedly stopped him. He helped him up and said with a dumbfounded face, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a cup of wine? You can have as much as you want. There¡¯s no need to repay me with such a gesture.¡± Long Yuan was puzzled. Could it be that this guy had cultivated immortality and damaged his brain? At this time, the tavern welcomed the first wave of customers. In the tavern. Regular customers sat in their usual seats and Su Yang served them the same as before. Three bottles of wine, a plate of beef with soy sauce, and a plate of cucumbers. Su Yang chatted with the customers about their daily lives. ¡°Old Li, your business has been doing well recently.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not satisfied, you can say that you¡¯ve done a big business recently and made a small fortune.¡± Old Li, the merchant, chuckled. ¡°Haha, congratulations,¡± Su Yang said from the bottom of his heart. Glancing at Long Yuan, he said to Old Li, ¡°Old Li, you¡¯ve been doing business outside for many years and are well-informed. Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Mountain Gate? This friend of mine wants to go there.¡± Hearing the words ¡°Heavenly Mountain Gate¡±, Old Li instantly became terrified. His eyes continuously scanned the outside of the tavern. After making sure that there was no one around, Old Li lowered his head and said softly, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± ¡°Heavenly Mountain Gate is a sect of immortal cultivators. Each one of them is a mighty figure with divine abilities. It¡¯s best for us, commoners, not to mention them. ¡°Those immortal cultivators aren¡¯t existences to be trifled with. If you provoke them, they¡¯ll exterminate your entire sect at any moment. You can¡¯t say no to them.¡± Looking at Old Li¡¯s nervous expression, Su Yang was also somewhat dazed. ¡®Could it be that I have met a fake immortal cultivator?¡¯ No matter how he looked at it, Long Yuan did not want to annihilate anyone¡¯s entire family. Su Yang glanced at Long Yuan and said, ¡°This friend of mine is also an immortal cultivator. He wants to go to the Heavenly Mountain Gate, but he can¡¯t find the way.¡± ¡°What? An immortal cultivator?¡± Su Yang¡¯s words frightened the burly men. One by one, they broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly stood up. They bowed deeply to Long Yuan, not daring to raise their heads. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, exalted immortal. We didn¡¯t mean to talk about you.¡± ¡°We¡­ We didn¡¯t mean to.¡± Old Li¡¯s action immediately frightened Long Yuan. He was the senior¡¯s guest and he acted so politely to him. ¡°Since you¡¯re Boss Su¡¯s friends, you¡¯re my friends as well. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the Heavenly Sword Sect to find me.¡± Hearing Long Yuan¡¯s words, Old Li and the other two looked at him in disbelief. Was it not an immortal cultivator always looked down on mortals? Why did this immortal cultivator act so friendly to others? He even wanted to become friends with them. In the future, when they were out to do business, they would say that immortal cultivators were their friends. Then their business would be¡­ Old Li and the other two nodded frantically. To have an immortal cultivator as a friend, they would naturally feel more than happy. ¡°Do you know where the Heavenly Mountain Gate is? I have urgent matters to attend to there. Please inform me if you know anything about it,¡± Long Yuan cupped his hands slightly and said sincerely. Old Li also did not hesitate. Since he was an immortal cultivator, it was not a big deal to tell him what he knew. Old Li pointed to the outside of the tavern in the direction of the east of the city. ¡°Go out of the city gate in the east of the city and keep going east. Then, you¡¯ll pass by a place called Snow Peak Mountain. It¡¯s said that the Heavenly Mountain Gate is on that mountain.¡± Long Yuan finally felt relieved now that he had gotten news about the Heavenly Mountain Gate. He took out a certain amount of gold and handed it to Old Li. ¡°Thank you, Old Li. This gold ingot is my thanks to you. Please don¡¯t refuse.¡± Old Li took the gold shakily. Although he was in the business sector and had seen countless gold before, this was the first time he had gotten one from an immortal cultivator. Old Li put away the gold as if he had found a treasure. ¡°Thank you for the reward, exalted immortal.¡± Long Yuan looked at Su Yang and said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Su, I still have something important to do. I¡¯ll visit you when I¡¯m done.¡± Su Yang nodded slightly. After getting Su Yang¡¯s permission, Long Yuan walked out of the tavern. The scene stunned Old Li and the other two. What? The exalted immortal was so respectful to a mortal? ¡®Am I seeing things? No, it must be the exalted immortal¡¯s good upbringing. He was so kind to all of us. Yes, this explains it.¡¯ Outside the door. Long Yuan pulled out his flying sword, jumped, and landed lightly on it. He rode the flying sword and headed east. ¡°Is that the legendary flying sword?¡± Old Li and the other two looked at Long Yuan who was flying in the air. Their eyes were filled with envy. This was an immortal cultivator. He could fly up and down, and he was omnipotent. After learning that Long Yuan was Su Yang¡¯s friend, Old Li¡¯s attitude toward Su Yang also changed drastically. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a powerful immortal friend, Boss Su.¡± ¡°If word gets out in the future, your tavern will be very popular. Don¡¯t forget to promote us.¡± Hearing this, Su Yang smiled. He waved his hand and said, ¡°What friend? I met him when I went hunting in the forest in the west of the city today. He came to my place and I cooked a meal for him. He¡¯s not a friend.¡± When Old Li heard this, he thought that Su Yang was being modest. Looking at Long Yuan¡¯s attitude, he did not think that Su Yang met him for the first time. Old Li had been doing business all these years. Naturally, he had some insight. Since Su Yan did not want to talk about it, he should know what to ask and what not to ask. Along the way, Long Yuan flew on his sword and soon found the Snow Mountain Peak that old Li mentioned. After entering the snow-capped peak, he quickly found the Heavenly Mountain Gate. The disciples guarding the Heavenly Mountain Gate saw someone flying over on his sword from afar. They pulled out their swords, pointed at Long Yuan, and shouted, ¡°Who¡¯s up ahead? What business do you have with Heavenly Mountain Gate?¡± Long Yuan flew down from the sky. He said to the two of them with a slight bow, ¡°I¡¯m Long Yuan, the last disciple of Jiu Jian of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I¡¯m here to serve my master to pay a visit to the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate.¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hearing this, the two disciples looked at each other. A light flashed in their eyes and a strange smile hung on the corner of their lips. One of the disciples smiled and said, ¡°So, it¡¯s Senior Brother Long Yuan. The ancestor has already instructed that if you come, we must bring you to him.¡± A smile finally appeared on Long Yuan¡¯s face when he heard this. It seemed that his master was right. The Heavenly Mountain Gate really could help them get through the calamity. The reason why Jiu Jian called Long Yuan to visit the ancestor was to borrow the mountain splitting ax, a divine weapon in the ancestor¡¯s hands. Ten days ago, the ancestor of the hostile force, the Soul Hunting Sect, issued a death challenge to Jiu Jian. 50 years ago, they had sworn an oath. 50 years later, they would fight to the death. It was obvious that the loser would not have a good ending, regardless of whether it was the sect or the individual. Although Jiu Jian was strong, he was not a match for the ancestor of the Soul Hunting Sect ancestor. His winning rate was less than 20%. So, he could only borrow the mountain-splitting ax. Even so, Jiu Jian could only increase his winning rate by another 20%. Although it was only 20%, he could only fight to the death. ¡­ Under the guidance of the guards, Long Yuan came to a blessed land with extremely rich spirit energy. Just by standing there, he could feel the boundless spirit energy surrounding him. ¡°As expected of the blessed land of the founder of the sect. Even the spirit energy in master¡¯s mansion is far less dense than here.¡± He walked to the entrance of the cave. Long Yuan cupped his hands and said loudly, ¡°Long Yuan, the eighth generation disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, requests to see the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate Sect.¡± After a long time, a deep and old voice sounded. ¡°Come in!¡± Only after obtaining permission to enter, only did Long Yuan enter the cave. Upon seeing Long Yuan, the ancestor went straight to the point and asked, ¡°Oh? That old fellow Jiu Jian asked you to look for me? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Long Yuan did not dare to hide anything and said, ¡°Reporting to the ancestor, I came here to borrow the mountain-splitting ax.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Upon hearing this, the ancestor asked in surprise, ¡°Did that old fellow Jiu Jian meet with some difficulties that he needed my mountain-splitting ax?¡± Then, Long Yuan told the ancestor what happened in the sect. ¡°I see, but I¡¯ve lent this mountain-splitting ax to someone else.¡± Upon hearing this, Long Yuan immediately panicked. It was not easy for him to find the Heavenly Mountain Gate. He had thought that he would be able to successfully borrow the mountain-splitting ax. However, he did not expect to receive such an answer. Long Yuan, who was full of doubts, asked, ¡°Who was it that you have lent it to?¡± Before the ancestor could speak, a clamoring voice suddenly came from the cave abode. ¡°The ancestor has lent us the mountain-splitting ax.¡± Long Yuan looked over when he heard the voice. When he saw the man, his pupils instantly dilated. The fury in his eyes burned uncontrollably. His fists were tightly clenched together. He looked at the man in front of him as if he had seen his father¡¯s enemy. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Li Wu laughed out loud. ¡°Of course, my goal is the same as yours.¡± As he spoke, he even took out the mountain-splitting ax that the ancestor had lent him to show off. Long Yuan¡¯s heart instantly turned cold when he saw this scene. Could it be that the ancestor and the Soul Hunting Sect¡¯s ancestor had joined forces? Li Wu was also the ancestor¡¯s disciple just like him. In addition, the two of them also inherited the grudges of the previous generation. Ever since the two of them became disciples, they had been fighting for an unknown amount of time in the open and in the dark. Now, the only hope of the Heavenly Sword Sect was stolen by Li Wu. How could he accept this? He turned his head and questioned the ancestor. ¡°Ancestor, our sect¡¯s ancestor once saved your life. Why are you still fanning the flames at this juncture?¡± ¡°How dare you! Our ancestor isn¡¯t someone you can question freely.¡± Before the Heavenly Mountain Gate ancestor could speak, Wang Hua, the disciple beside him, scolded Long Yuan. It was only now that Long Yuan understood the entire situation. It was obvious that the Heavenly Mountain Gate ancestor had received benefits from the Soul Hunting ancestor. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I will not stay here any longer.¡± After saying that, Long Yuan turned around and was about to leave. However, he was stopped by Wang Hua. ¡°How can the sect allows you to come and go as you please?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Long Yuan snorted and said disdainfully, ¡°Why do you need to bully the weak with your numbers?¡± Wang Hua seemed to have heard a big joke. ¡°Hahaha, what a big joke. You need us to bully the weak with your numbers. Even if I let you use one hand, you might not be able to defeat me.¡± At the moment, Li Wu also added fuel to the fire. ¡°Brother Wang Hua, he¡¯s not worthy for you to do it yourself. Let me teach him a good lesson.¡± Previously, Long Yuan might still be afraid of the two of them today. However, he was no longer the same as before. He had eaten Su Yang¡¯s chives and eggs and drank the wine made by Su Yang himself. With Long Yuan¡¯s current strength, even if Wang Hua and Li Wu joined hands, they were still not his match. Their cultivation methods and cultivation levels were on the same level, but their weapons and magical powers were stronger than Long Yuan¡¯s. Now, Long Yuan had already entered the golden core rank. He did not put the two, who were in the meridian condensation realm, in his eyes. ¡°Hmph! If you¡¯re not convinced, then attack together!¡± The two of them were stunned when they heard that, and they looked at each other. ¡°Hahaha, since you want to die, then I¡¯ll grant you your wish.¡± Li Wu laughed loudly and hacked at him with the mountain-splitting ax in his hand. Wang Hua did not stay idle either. He quickly formed a seal with his palm and slapped toward the air. Facing the joint attack of the two of them, Long Yuan did not panic at all. He easily dodged Li Wu¡¯s attack. Then, he grabbed Li Wu¡¯s shoulder and hid behind him. Coincidentally, Wang Hua¡¯s palm landed on Li Wu¡¯s chest. Puff! A mouthful of blood spurted out of Li Wu¡¯s mouth. Wang Hua did not expect that Li Wu would be so easily manipulated by Long Yuan. Before he could react, Long Yuan was positioned in the void. A powerful force was instantly unleashed. Wang Hua¡¯s figure was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away. Seeing this, the ancestor took over his disciple. At this time, Wang Hua and Li Wu looked at Long Yuan with disbelief in their eyes. ¡°You¡­ You actually broke through to the golden core stage?¡± Not only did the two of them were shocked, but the ancestor was too. ¡°This kid has actually entered the golden core stage. According to his information, he seems to have entered the third level of the golden core stage. I really didn¡¯t expect that the old man Jiu Jian would take in such a disciple. This kid absolutely cannot be kept alive.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Long Yuan seemed to have also sensed that the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate was filled with killing intent. He must escape here! Long Yuan¡¯s expression froze, and he turned his head and ran out at high speed. How could the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate let Long Yuan escape so easily? He caught up with Long Yuan in a flash. Then, he struck out a palm toward Long Yuan¡¯s back. Long Yuan mobilized almost all the spirit power in his body and barely dodged the attack. The ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate¡¯s attack was not over yet. ¡°Heart Shattering Palm.¡± A huge palm print flew out and hit Long Yuan¡¯s lower abdomen. Puff¡­ A mouthful of blood was spat out. At this moment, the word ¡°despair¡± was written on Long Yuan¡¯s face. ¡°Am I, Long Yuan, going to lose my life here today?¡± Long Yuan stood up with difficulty. Even if his life was in jeopardy, he still wanted to bite off a piece of his opponent¡¯s flesh. However, an incident suddenly happened. The Dragon Sword on Long Yuan¡¯s back started to become restless. Without receiving Long Yuan¡¯s summon, it flew into Long Yuan¡¯s hand automatically. Before Long Yuan could react, the Dragon Sword had brought him out of the cave in an instant. The speed was so fast that even the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate could not catch up at all. He could only watch the heavily-injured Long Yuan escape from his hands. Wang Hua and Li Wu looked at Long Yuan who had escaped. A trace of killing intent flashed in their eyes. ¡°Did Master just let him escape like that?¡± Wang Hua asked somewhat unwillingly. However, the ancestor did not have the slightest bit of worry. With a smile on his face, he said indifferently, ¡°He was hit by my Heart Shattering Palm. Do you think he can still survive? Even if he¡¯s lucky enough to survive, his spirit root will be shattered. From now on, he¡¯ll be a cripple. There¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Hua and Li Wu finally relaxed. ¡°As expected of the ancestor. In the future, the Heavenly Sword Sect will be the property of our two families.¡± Li Wu hurriedly flattered. The old and young trio burst out laughing. The reason why the Heavenly Mountain Gate would cooperate with the Soul Hunting Sect was because he was promised half of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could ordinary gifts be able to catch his eye? ¡­ The Dragon Sword was like an old horse that knew the way, bringing the seriously injured and dying dragon pool back to the small tavern. Plop. Su Yang, who was leisurely drinking in the tavern, suddenly heard a sound from outside the door. He put down the wine cup in his hand and walked out. When he pushed the door open, he saw the blood-covered and injured Long Yuan. Fortunately, it was already night. There was no one in the tavern and there were no pedestrians on the street. Seeing this, Su Yang and his people helped Long Yuan in. They took him to Su Yang¡¯s bedroom and placed him on the wooden bed. Long Yuan¡¯s consciousness was already blurry. At the last second when he closed his eyes, he saw Su Yang. At that moment, he knew that he could still survive. Su Yang looked at the unconscious Long Yuan. For a moment, he was at a loss. ¡°I thought you were in a hurry to find the Heavenly Mountain Gate to help your sect? I didn¡¯t expect you to get beaten up like this.¡± He complained helplessly. There was still a problem waiting for him. How could a mortal like him heal the injuries of an immortal cultivator? However, he could not just watch him die like this. Su Yang walked to a shabby wooden cabinet and started rummaging through it. After some time, he only found a bottle of medicinal wine that had been sealed for a long period. This bottle of medicine was made for him to heal his injuries. He did not know if it would be of any use to Long Yuan¡¯s injuries. ¡°I can only try my best,¡± as he spoke, Su Yang walked to the bed. He helped Long Yuan up and opened his mouth. He forced the medicine into his mouth. After that, Su Yang left the room. ¡°Life and death depend on fate. Wealth and honor depend on the heavens. Whether you can live or not depends on your life.¡± Su Yang looked at Long Yuan who was lying on the bed. Then, he let out a deep sigh, and left the place. ¡­ Heavenly Sword Sect. In a dark cave. There was only a candle burning, illuminating the space. Jiu Jian, who was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat, suddenly opened his eyes. ¡°Disciple.¡± Jiu Jian was in a panic. He had just been in seclusion, and he instantly felt a pang of heartache. It was as though something bad was about to happen. He faintly felt that something dangerous seemed to have happened to his disciple. He saw the old ancestor looking at the top of his head. ¡°Could it be that¡­ the heavens¡­ are going to annihilate our Heavenly Sword Sect? Disciple, you must return safely.¡± The night silently passed by. The next morning. Long Yuan, who was lying on the bed, was awoken by the sunlight. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at his body from top to bottom. Both of his hands were touching every part of his body. ¡°I¡¯m fine now? I remember that I was hit in the lower abdomen by the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate. I felt that my spirit root was about to be shattered. Fortunately, my spirit root is now an earth spirit root. Otherwise, I¡¯d be a cripple. ¡°But¡­ Why do I feel that I don¡¯t have any injuries at all? Instead, I feel that my body is full of strength.¡± Countless questions filled Long Yuan¡¯s heart. When he checked his cultivation, he was shocked. After he was beaten up, his cultivation had reached the sixth level of the golden core stage? Long Yuan tried hard to recall the incident that happened yesterday. Suddenly, he remembered. On the way back, he had returned to the senior¡¯s tavern. When he lost consciousness, he seemed to have also seen the senior¡¯s figure. It was not until then that Long Yuan realized why he was not injured at all. ¡°It must be senior who saved me. I¡¯ve already received senior¡¯s favor three times. With such great kindness, how can I repay senior?¡± Long Yuan got off the bed. He did not feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, he felt very relaxed. He planned to find senior to personally thank him. Then, he would return to his sect as soon as possible. He would report to his master about the scheme of the Heavenly Mountain Gate and the Soul Hunting Sect. At this moment, the door was opened. Su Yang slowly walked in. When he saw the lively Long Yuan, his eyes were filled with shock. ¡°Is this an immortal cultivator? After suffering such serious injuries, he¡¯s fine after a good sleep.¡± Long Yuan saw Su Yang. Once again, he knelt gratefully and said respectfully, ¡°Thank you for saving my life, senior. This junior has nothing to repay you for. If senior has any use for me, let me know.¡± Seeing this, Su Yang was somewhat dazed. He thought to himself, ¡®He can¡¯t possibly think that I¡¯m the one who gave him his life, right?¡¯ Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Long Yuan, who was in a hurry to get back to his sect to report to his master, did not stay too long in the tavern. It was best to plan ahead. The Soul Hunter Sect and the Heavenly Mountain Gate had joined forces. This would be bad news for the Heavenly Sword Sect. After Long Yuan left, Su Yang opened the system. Now, he knew that this world was not a game world. Instead, it was an immortal cultivation world. Here, the strong were respected. They stood at the peak of this world and looked down on all living things. They had supreme power and held the power of life and death. This was why Old Li was so afraid of immortal cultivators as they had the ability to move mountains. It was not something a mortal could do. Now that he had the system, Su Yang decided in his heart that he had to stand at the peak of this world. Otherwise, he did not even have the right to survive. ¡°I¡¯m currently at level 99. I wonder what is it equivalent to an immortal cultivator?¡± Su Yang had already learned about this world¡¯s cultivation system. However, he did not have any skills at the moment as if his level 99 was just a decoration. What Su Yang did not know was that his level 99 was not ordinary. It was the Mahayana realm among immortal cultivators. He was just one step away from becoming the legendary human immortal. Otherwise, how could his tavern, the food he grew, and the wine he brewed have such powerful effects? It was because these things had been absorbing the spirit energy from Su Yang¡¯s body and the pure dao charms for many years. As a result, they were no longer ordinary items. Every item in the tavern was akin to a treasure, which could make many immortal cultivators go crazy. Su Yang looked at the two cultivation methods given by the system. One was to farm monsters and level up, and the other was to snatch the fate of destined children. Obviously, the second method was a shortcut to immortal cultivation. Su Yang picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip. He said leisurely, ¡°With my current strength, can I beat those destined children? Let alone steal their fate. I¡¯d better continue doing my old job and farm demons quietly.¡± This time, Su Yang decided not to farm the one-eyed demon rat as the experience score given by the one-eyed demon rat was not attractive. He planned to go deep into the primitive forest and see if he could farm some slightly higher-level demons. With this in mind, Su Yang no longer hesitated. He picked up his long sword, and walked toward the west of the city. His sword had been with him for God knew how long, and it was somewhat worn out. Su Yang decided that after he returned from this trip, he would forge another sword. In the primitive forest. As it was already autumn, leaves could be seen falling everywhere in the cold wind. Although Su Yang¡¯s arrival had no effect on the forest, there was one kind of creature that was already terrified. It was the one-eyed demon rat that Su Yang had been farming for more than ten years. From the moment they were born, they carried the fear of Su Yang in their bones. They sensed that Su Yang had entered the dense forest. The one-eyed demon rat fled frantically. Walking on the small path in the dense forest, Su Yang did not see the one-eyed demon rat for a long time. ¡°Why aren¡¯t I seeing the one-eyed demon rat? Logically speaking, with their immense reproductive ability, it shouldn¡¯t be impossible to see one of them.¡± Su Yang scratched his head in confusion. However, he did not care. After all, his target this time was not the one-eyed demon rat but a murderer that he could deal with. Suddenly, he saw a wild cat running at high speed toward him. Its body was black and white. It seemed to be filled with hostility toward Su Yang. Su Yang snorted coldly. ¡°A little wild cat dares to be so arrogant?¡± The wild cat was surprised to discover a human in the forest. ¡®D*mn it, when did a human appear here? As the dignified young master of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan, I was treated as prey by a group of mixed-fur wild beasts today. ¡®If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I was heavily injured and couldn¡¯t maintain my true form, with my domineering aura, I¡¯d have been able to scare away this foolish human.¡¯ The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger originally wanted to turn around and escape. However, other than the direction where Su Yang was, wild beasts were chasing after him from all other directions. ¡®D*mn human, you dare to stop me? Looks like I can only go all out,¡¯ the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger roared crazily in his heart. This was the last life-saving method of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. He would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. A human did not require him to use this move. However, he did not have any demonic qi to support his attack except for this last move. He was confident that the ultimate skill of his clan could defeat the human, who looked like a mortal, in front of him. Even a semi-god realm warrior might not be able to withstand it. Suddenly, a rune on his forehead lit up. In the next second, he threw it at Su Yang. However, Su Yang only used his hand to block it. The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger was stunned. The ultimate skill that he was proud of had failed? All the demonic qi disappeared into thin air the moment it touched him? Then, he crashed heavily into a big tree at the side was unconscious. Su Yang walked over and lifted him by his tail. ¡°As expected, the creatures in this dense forest are all very aggressive.¡± This scene had scared the other demon beasts who were chasing after the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger. The Fiery-tailed Fox looked at the wind demon tiger beside him and said. ¡°Brother¡­ Brother Tiger, I¡­ The kitten we were chasing earlier doesn¡¯t seem to be from the Red Flame Civet Clan.¡± The eyes of the Wind Demon Tiger were full of fear. He said shakily, ¡°It¡¯s a Yin-yang Devil Eye Tiger. We¡¯re in trouble.¡± That was a Yin-yang Devil Eye Tiger, the true overlord of the Demon Beast Clan. Had they been chasing after a Yin-yang Devil Eye Tiger? At this moment, the Fiery-tailed Fox was so scared that he could not speak. His entire body was trembling. If this matter were to be found out by the Yin-yang Devil Eye Tiger Clan, their forest would turn into a dead forest. ¡°What should we do, Brother Tiger? Otherwise, we¡¯ll go all out¡­¡± Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s expression hardened as he said fiercely. When he heard this, the Wind Demon Tiger was instantly shocked. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He stretched out his huge tiger claw and slapped the Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s head and scolded, ¡°Are you crazy? Didn¡¯t you see that the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger used its life-saving secret technique? ¡°This life-saving secret technique of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger can kill even a soul formation stage powerhouse. And that human only used one kick to subdue him. One can imagine how terrifying that human is. As for that Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger, I think he won¡¯t be able to survive!¡± Hearing this, the Fiery-tailed Fox could not help but break out in cold sweat. Fortunately, the Wind Demon Tiger had warned him. Of course, he knew how terrifying the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger¡¯s secret technique was. At the same time, he saw that the young man¡¯s eyes were also filled with fear. What kind of expert was able to subdue the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger that had activated the secret technique with one kick? The Fiery-tailed Fox looked at the Wind Demon Tiger and said, ¡°Then¡­ Brother Tiger, what should we do now?¡± The Wind Demon Tiger stretched out its big tiger claws again and slapped the Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s head. ¡°Run, don¡¯t tell me you want to risk your life for that stupid thing?¡± The Fiery-tailed Fox rubbed his head as his face revealed his innocence. At the same time, he was also feeling a little reluctant. Just when the two of them were about to run, they saw that Su Yang was walking toward them with one hand holding a sword while the other was holding the body of the Yin-yang Devil Eye Tiger. Seeing this scene, the two demonic beasts were frightened. They stood on the spot, trembling, not daring to move. ¡°Brother¡­ Brother Tiger, did that human discover the two of us?¡± The Wind Devil Tiger¡¯s face was full of fear. He did not know what to do now. He could not stay nor could he run. Run? Where could the two of them run to? The Wind Devil Tiger was the king of this dense forest. It was a sixth grade demonic beast. It corresponded to the deity transformation stage among the human immortal cultivators. That human had broken the Yin-yang Devil Eye Tiger Clan¡¯s secret technique with one kick. He could not see through how terrifying its strength was as it did not emit any aura from its body. He had never heard of such a method of restraining aura. It was obviously an unwise choice to run away in front of such a powerhouse. Just as the two demonic beasts were trembling in fear, the two rank two red thread snakes attacked Su Yang. The rank two demonic beasts had not activated their intelligence so their instincts relied entirely on their primitive bestial nature. They relied on their perception of the aura of the outside world to judge the strength of the creatures. Su Yang did not have any aura of spiritual power on his body. This resulted in the two red thread snakes thinking that he was a weak creature that they could kill. Facing the two red thread snakes that suddenly launched an attack, Su Yang¡¯s reaction was very fast. With two swooshes, he had chopped off the heads of the snakes. Looking at the bodies of the red thread snakes, Su Yang could not help but sigh. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet such weak demon beasts even after coming here. These two small snakes aren¡¯t too bad. Their guts should be able to sell for a good price. Even if they aren¡¯t for sale, drinking wine made from them is a good choice too.¡± After learning that the demon beasts here were not very strong, Su Yang was relieved. Killing beasts here seemed to be a good choice. However, Su Yang¡¯s words sounded completely different in the ears of the Wind Demon Tiger and the Fiery-tailed Fox. The Wind Devil Tiger understood why Su Yang had come here. ¡°So, the human is a miser.¡± Upon hearing this, the Fiery-tailed Fox asked with a dumbfounded look, ¡°Brother Tiger, what¡¯s a miser?¡± The Wind Devil Tiger put on an extremely proud look. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was very knowledgeable. ¡°Miser is a term of address for humans who like money very much. Even if they¡¯re extremely rich, they hoard their wealth and did not want to spend any of it. From what the human said, he should be here to farm demons to earn money.¡± ¡°Farm demons to earn money?¡± the Fiery-tailed Fox suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Brother Tiger, wouldn¡¯t we also become his target?¡± The Wind Devil Tiger solemnly nodded and said, ¡°Sigh, many humans have this kind of strange habit. If he really starts farming, our dense forest will become a river of blood. There¡¯s no other way. I¡¯m already the strongest existence in this dense forest. No one can stop his footsteps at all.¡± Upon hearing the Wind Devil Tiger¡¯s words, the Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s state of mind instantly collapsed. It was not easy for him to be recognized as the Wind Devil Tiger¡¯s sidekick. In this dense forest, the fox used the tiger¡¯s power to do whatever it wanted. He had not even enjoyed a few days of carefree life and now he had encountered such a strange human. Suddenly, the Fiery-tailed Fox had a flash of inspiration. ¡°Brother Tiger, I have a way to ensure our safety.¡± Hearing this, the Wind Devil Tiger¡¯s eyes immediately shone brightly. ¡°Quickly say it. If there really is a way, I¡¯ll reward you heavily once we¡¯re safe.¡± The Fiery-tailed Fox said with a chuckle, ¡°Since this human wants to farm demons to earn money, then Brother Tiger, why don¡¯t you let the demon beasts in this forest send themselves to their deaths? ¡°Lure them to the human for him to be done with his business. Then, we¡¯ll be safe.¡± ¡°Hahaha, good, good. You¡¯re the smartest. Let¡¯s do it.¡± The Wind Devil Tiger and the Fiery-tailed Fox felt confident. They quietly planned to leave this place. As they left, they turned back three times to see if that human had followed them. After walking for hundreds of meters. The Wind Devil Tiger realized that the human had not followed them. He heaved a sigh of relief. So, he would use his authority in the dense forest to send those weak demon beasts to their deaths. The Wind Devil Tiger considered that if a group of demon beasts swarmed over, would it not make the human think that the demon race was declaring war on him? So, he thought of a way, which was to let the demon beasts die in pairs. It was not necessary to think about tier one or tier two demon beasts. As long as the Wind Devil Tiger gave an order, they could only obey. As for those tier three, tier four, and tier five demon beasts, they had already activated their intelligence. Although they were very unwilling to die, the Wind Devil Tiger had threatened the lives of their species. Helplessly, batch after batch of demon beasts could only await their deaths. At the same time, on Su Yang¡¯s side. Having just killed two red thread snakes, he felt that he was in very good condition. He planned to continue farming demons and leveling up in the surrounding area. Before he had walked far, two tier 2 demon armor scorpions attacked Su Yang under the command of the Wind Devil Tiger. It was an understatement to kill two demon armor scorpions with two slashes of the sword. Su Yang took a step forward after finishing them off. Two tier 2 gale rabbits also took the initiative to attack him. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Su Yang dealt with two gale rabbits, and two more came. After he was done with the two, another two came. Regardless of which rank the rabbits were at, they were dealt with by Su Yang with one strike. Su Yang did not understand the division of the demon beasts¡¯ strength. He had always thought that the strength of these demonic beasts was only the strength of a human in the qi cultivation stage. He had a certain understanding of his own strength. It seemed that he had reached the qi cultivation stage. Since he knew his strength, it would be easier to do things in the future. An hour passed. Su Yang did not even manage to take ten steps forward. However, there were already over a thousand corpses beside him. After killing the last two thick-soil wild boars, Su Yang could not help but ridicule them. ¡°What¡¯s with the demon beasts in this primeval forest? Why are they so hostile toward me? In less than an hour, over a thousand demon beasts attacked me! Am I the legendary monster-hunting magnet? Fortunately, these demon beasts aren¡¯t strong so I can still deal with them.¡± Su Yang planned to open the system interface. He wanted to see how much experience these 1,000 demon beasts gave him. After opening the system interface, Su Yang was shocked. It was as many as 30,000 experience points. When Su Yang saw the experience points needed to level up, his expression instantly darkened. F*ck, to level up to the next level, he needed 10,000,000 experience points. Right now, Su Yang only wanted to curse. He would have to kill all the demon beasts in this forest to gain 10,000,000 experience points to level up, right? ¡®This system is too much. It really doesn¡¯t want me to level up.¡¯ What made him more gratified was that as long as his experience points increased by 30,000, he would be able to draw a lottery once. It just so happened that his current experience points just happened to reach 30,000. So, he could draw a lottery. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice sounded. [ Ding! Congratulations, host. You have reached the condition to draw a lottery. Would you like to draw one now? ] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Su Yang chose ¡°Yes¡±. Soon, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind again. [ Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining a box of agarwood vital energy water. ] [ Agarwood vital energy water can heal all injuries. ] After hearing that, Su Yang could not help but sigh. Was the water so awesome as the system said it was? How was that possible? Anyway, at least it could be considered a reward so it made his heart feel a lot better. Su Yang looked at the corpses all over the ground, rubbed his hands, and said, ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day.¡± Hearing these words, the two armored rhinoceroses that were rushing over to their deaths instantly stopped in their tracks. When they heard the human say the words ¡°let¡¯s call it a day¡±, the two rank five armored rhinoceroses were so relieved that they almost cried. They could not help but let out a long breath. Fortunately, this human had finally killed enough. Therefore, the two armored rhinoceroses escaped at an extremely fast speed. Even the polar shadow leopard, which was famous for its speed, was impressed by the speed of the two armored rhinoceroses. After Su Yang removed the most valuable parts of these demon beasts, he planned to leave this place. As for the wild cat that he first met, he took it with him as the cat¡¯s fur was very beautiful. He believed that there would be some eccentric collectors who would like it. After all, the demon beasts here in the dense forest were extremely rare in Qingyang Town. The people in Qingyang Town were commoners. Unless for special occasions, they would never set foot here. Today, Su Yang finally understood why the dense forest was treated as a forbidden area by the citizens of Qingyang Town. No one could bear the frequency of the demon beasts¡¯ attacks here. When Su Yang was about to leave with his haul, he heard a cry for help behind him. He turned his head and saw a woman covered in blood with tattered clothes running toward him. Although this woman was in an extremely sorry state from head to toe, it could not conceal the noble temperament that this woman exuded. When the woman reached in front of Su Yang, her body went limp and she fell to the ground. Looking at the man in front of her, the woman said weakly, ¡°Senior, please save me. I¡¯ll definitely repay you in the future.¡± The reason why she chose to ask for Su Yang¡¯s help was because she saw the corpses all over the ground. What shocked her the most was that there were more than ten rank five demon beasts¡¯ corpses. One could imagine how terrifying his strength was. Looking at the woman covered in blood, Su Yang felt pity for her. However, he did not think he had the ability to save her. He could see that this woman¡¯s temperament was definitely that of an immortal cultivator, whose strength would not be too weak. Considering his mere strength as a mortal, Su Yang chose not to be entangled in the immortal cultivator¡¯s world. Although his action may be considered cruel, he knew that this was a dog eat dog world. If one wanted to become strong and not be bullied, then one had to be ruthless. Only by being ruthless could one establish a foothold in this world. When the woman saw the indifferent look of the man in front of her, her heart instantly turned cold. Sure enough, the man was unwilling to meddle in other people¡¯s business. ¡°Am I, Su Mengli, going to die here today?¡± Su Mengli was unwilling to accept her fate. She had many important things to do. She still had a deep-seated blood feud waiting for her to take revenge. She could not die now. If she died, how could she face her family in the otherworld? At this moment, More than ten assassins who were chasing her rushed over. However, when they saw the corpses all over the ground, they were instantly dumbfounded. Their bodies began to tremble. There were more than ten rank five demon beast corpses here? Among them, only the leader was an expert in the golden core stage. The golden core stage was merely the strength of a rank four demon beast. As for the others, they were all at the meridian formation stage. The team leader looked at the corpses on the ground. Then, he looked at the young man beside Su Mengli whose hand was covered in blood with a sharp sword. He then looked at the wild cat in his hand and immediately understood what was going on. With a plop, the team leader knelt on the ground. When the other assassins saw their leader kneeling on the ground, they also knelt one after another. They saw their leader begging for mercy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Senior. I didn¡¯t know you were here. Please forgive us for disturbing you. We¡¯ll leave now.¡± After saying that, the leader of the assassins led his men and fled in a sorry state. He was not sure either if he could escape or not. What if the man was really angry?They would not be able to leave this place alive. As they ran, one of the assassins asked in puzzlement, ¡°Boss, why are we kneeling to that person? Why do we need to run?¡± Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The leader of the assassins glanced at him disappointingly. ¡°What do you know? Let¡¯s not talk about the corpses of more than ten rank five demon beasts on the ground. Do you know what the demon beast in the man¡¯s hand is?¡± That subordinate shook his head. ¡°Humph! Ignorant fool! That demon beast in the man¡¯s hand has a yin-yang mark on its forehead. Do you know what that means? That¡¯s the exclusive mark of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. I was once lucky enough to participate in an auction with the sect master and saw the real Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger.¡± Hearing the words of their leader, the assassins could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger¡¯s great name was well-known to them. Their sect was already one of the top forces within a ten thousand kilometers radius. However, in front of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan, they still did not dare to act rashly. The strength of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan was far from what they could imagine. The group of assassins had flown for a long distance before stopping. The leader touched his back. He realized that his clothes were already soaked with sweat. ¡°Fortunately, that man didn¡¯t have any killing intent. Otherwise, we¡¯d have died on the spot.¡± Su Mengli stood up with difficulty. She bowed respectfully to Su Yang and said gratefully, ¡°Thank you for saving me.¡± Su Yang shook his head and said, ¡°This has nothing to do with me. Maybe they don¡¯t want to chase after you anymore!¡± Su Yang was also very puzzled. Those assassins knelt when they saw him and ran away without saying a word. Could it be that they ran away because they saw the corpses all over the ground? Did they think that he was a strong person? This was the only reason that made sense. ¡®It seems that they¡¯re also a bunch of ignorant fellows. Can¡¯t they recognize such a weak demon beast?¡¯ Su Yang mocked in his heart. Finally, he turned to look at Su Mengli and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re safe, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying that, Su Yang carried his spoils of war and walked back without looking back. Meanwhile, Su Mengli, who was behind him, looked at Su Yang with a dejected expression. She had long been homeless and did not know where to go. Therefore, she chose to follow behind Su Yang. At least beside Su Yang, the assassins would not dare to target her anymore. After walking for a while, Su Yang realized that the woman seemed to be following him. He turned his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to follow me. I¡¯m just a mortal. I can¡¯t interfere in the affairs of immortal cultivators. You¡¯d better not follow me.¡± Hearing this, Su Mengli was speechless. ¡®If you¡¯re a mortal, wouldn¡¯t it make me not even a human? You¡¯re telling me that a mortal can kill more than ten rank five demon beasts? Then, why do immortal cultivators cultivate?¡¯ Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Su Yang continued to walk in the direction of Qingyang Town. Su Mengli did not care whether Su Yang agreed or not. She silently followed behind him, keeping a distance of five meters. If she had a place to go, she would not choose to follow behind Su Yang. The current her was already homeless. Along the way, Su Yang had warned her several times not to follow him. He did not have the ability, nor did he have the mood to take her in. However, Su Mengli seemed to not hear him, and she just followed him. At least by his side, Su Mengli could feel a sense of security. When Su Yang reached the tavern, he turned to her and was about to speak. However, Su Mengli spoke first, ¡°I have no home to return to. Please take me in, Senior. I¡¯m willing to be your servant. I can endure hardships and do all kinds of hard work. I only hope that you can give me a place to stay.¡± Looking at Su Mengli¡¯s weak and pitiful look, Su Yang sighed helplessly. It just so happened that his small tavern was also short of a handyman. Ever since the news of him befriending an immortal cultivator had spread, his small tavern was full every day. Su Yang could not handle all tasks by himself. In that case, he could let her stay and help out in the tavern. Thinking of this, Su Yang said to Su Mengli, ¡°It just so happens that my small tavern is short of a worker. You can help me with the tasks for the time being. My name is Su Yang, and I¡¯m also the owner of this small tavern. You can call me Mr. Su, or you can call me Boss Su. It¡¯s up to you. Let me be blunt. If I get into trouble because of you, my small tavern won¡¯t be able to keep you.¡± Su Yang knew that the world of immortal cultivators was very cruel. Since she could be hunted down by assassins, it meant that she must have enemies. Sooner or later, her enemies would find her. Su Yang did not want to be implicated in the woman¡¯s affairs. After all, he was just a rookie in the qi cultivation stage. He could not afford to make enemies in the immortal cultivation world. This was the biggest concession he could make. It was not that he was ruthless, nor was it that he did not understand human relationships. It was just that the immortal cultivation world was too cruel, so he had to be careful and ruthless. Hearing Su Yang¡¯s words, Su Mengli immediately revealed a smile on her face. She hurriedly thanked him, ¡°Thank you for taking me in, Senior. I¡¯ll definitely not give you any trouble. If any enemies come looking for me in the future, I¡¯ll offer myself. I will definitely not implicate Senior.¡± Hearing this, Su Yang nodded with satisfaction and said, ¡°In that case, come in with me.¡± Su Mengli had just stepped into the door of the small tavern. In an instant, she was shocked by its environment. Majestic spirit energy circulated in the small tavern. ¡®Is this really a tavern in the mortal world? Even the blessed lands don¡¯t have it. The spirit energy here is rich! With such dense spirit energy and the dao charms visible to the naked eye, Senior is definitely a peerless expert who doesn¡¯t appear in the world. But why is such an expert afraid that I¡¯ll implicate him?¡¯ Very quickly, Su Mengli understood Su Yang¡¯s meaning. ¡®The reason Senior opened a tavern in a mortal world must be that he doesn¡¯t want to be disturbed by the immortal world. But this dense spirit energy and profound dao charms¡­¡¯ ¡­ Heavenly Sword Sect. Long Yuan, who had departed from the tavern, flew toward the sect at the fastest speed. After returning to the sect, he went straight to his master¡¯s abode. ¡°Master, your disciple has returned.¡± Long Yuan looked at his master, who was sitting in front of him and bowed respectfully. Seeing Long Yuan return safely, Jiu Jian also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. With a kind smile on his face, he said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back.¡± Jiu Jian habitually probed Long Yuan¡¯s strength. If he did not do so, he would not know if his disciple had improved or not. However, once he did, he was shocked. His disciple had just gone out on a trip. Not only did he break through to the Golden Core Stage, but he had also broken through to the sixth level. This discovery shocked him greatly. He grabbed Long Yuan¡¯s arm and began to examine his body. ¡°Disciple, did you take some forbidden medicine?¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Long Yuan looked at his master in confusion and said in puzzlement, ¡°Forbidden medicine? I¡¯ve never eaten that kind of thing!¡± However, Jiu Jian did not believe him. He berated him with a resentful look, ¡°Didn¡¯t I warn you that you should advance step by step on the path of cultivation? Don¡¯t touch those forbidden medicine books that can rapidly increase your strength. Those are things that will ruin your life.¡± Hearing this, Long Yuan finally understood why his master reacted as such. He quickly withdrew his arm and explained, ¡°Master, my current cultivation isn¡¯t because of some forbidden medicine but because I¡¯ve met an expert on the way to the Heavenly Mountain Gate. ¡°The spirit energy density in that expert¡¯s tavern is more than a thousand times that of yours, Master. I was lucky enough to receive the expert¡¯s guidance and care. ¡°I ate the spirit food and drank the spirit wine of the expert before attaining my current cultivation level. Moreover, after I drank the spirit wine, my spirit root had transformed into an earth spirit root.¡± ¡°What?¡± Jiu Jian cried out in surprise. Very soon, he felt that he had lost his composure. ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± After pretending to cough twice, he asked in shock, ¡°You said that your spirit root is now an earth spirit root?¡± Long Yuan nodded affirmatively. ¡°Hahaha, God bless our Heavenly Sword Sect! Where¡¯s that unworldly expert? I must prepare a generous gift and personally visit him to thank him.¡± Seeing his Master¡¯s excited look, Long Yuan did not want to discourage him. However, this matter concerned the life and death of the Heavenly Sword Sect. ¡°Master, the Heavenly Sword Sect might be in danger this time,¡± Long Yuan said with a solemn expression. When Jiu Jian heard this, his expression froze as he said, ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t that old fellow lend you the mountain-splitting ax?¡± Long Yuan shook his head and said, ¡°Not only that but he has also joined forces with the Soul Hunting Sect. He even lent the mountain-splitting ax to the Soul Hunting Sect.¡± Bang! Upon hearing this, Jiu Jian slammed the ground angrily. ¡°Humph, I knew that the old fellow from the Heavenly Mountain Gate was an ungrateful person. I saved his life in vain. He dares to join forces with outsiders to deal with me?¡± Upon hearing Long Yuan¡¯s words, Jiu Jian was immediately filled with anger. He originally thought that with such a great opportunity for his disciple, their Heavenly Sword Sect would rise again. However, the reality was not what he thought it would be. ¡°Is the heavens going to destroy our Heavenly Sword Sect?¡± Jiu Jian looked at the sky and asked sorrowfully. At this moment, Long Yuan said, ¡°Master, we might still have a chance to survive.¡± ¡°You mean the otherworldly expert you met?¡± Jiu Jian asked. Hearing this, Long Yuan nodded. ¡°As long as you get some guidance from that expert, you¡¯ll definitely break through and enter the Deity Transformation Stage.¡± Hearing this, Jiu Jian was not as optimistic as Long Yuan. The reason why an expert would be reclusive was because he had had enough of the disputes in the world and stayed hidden. How would such an expert guide him? Long Yuan seemed to have seen through his master¡¯s thoughts and said, ¡°Since things have come to this, we have no other choice but to take a gamble.¡± ¡°Alright, in that case, you can accompany me on a trip. Prepare a generous gift and also thank the expert for his guidance.¡± Long Yuan nodded, but his face revealed a somewhat solemn expression. ¡°But¡­ for an expert like senior, what kind of thing can catch his eye?¡± That was right. An expert who could casually raise another person¡¯s spirit root to another level was no ordinary person at all. What kind of thing could catch his eye? The cup of divine wine that could raise a person¡¯s spirit root was valuable enough to be exchanged with half of the Heavenly Sword Sect. After thinking for a while, Jiu Jian seemed to have thought of something as his face immediately brightened. Then, he left his abode and appeared in a new location. At the same time, he was holding a broken map in his hand. Long Yuan looked at the broken map in his master¡¯s hand and asked in puzzlement, ¡°Master, what¡¯s the thing that you¡¯re holding?¡± Jiu Jian gently stroked the map. Looking at this map, it seemed to have drawn his thoughts. Jiu Jian looked into the distance, his wrinkled face occasionally revealing complicated emotions. After a moment of pondering in a daze, Jiu Jian came back to his senses and said, ¡°Disciple, do you know what kind of cultivation system we immortal cultivators have?¡± Long Yuan nodded. As an immortal cultivator, who did not know about it? He did not understand why his master would ask this question. Jiu Jian continued, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s a realm after the Mahayana, and that¡¯s called the immortal realm.¡± Hearing Jiu Jian¡¯s words, Long Yuan opened his mouth in disbelief. He thought that the Mahayana was already the highest realm in this world. He did not expect that there was a realm after that. This news could be said to have overturned his worldview. Seeing his disciple¡¯s reaction, Jiu Jian smiled with satisfaction. This kind of news could be said to be an extremely shocking secret in the nine regions. Not to mention the Mahayana, even the anti-void realm could not be touched by anyone. How could they know the realm after the Mahayana? The reason why he knew it was because he happened to learn about it when he was young. Jiu Jian looked down at the broken map in his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at it as a broken map. The complete map hides the secret of becoming a human celestial realm. Don¡¯t look down at the value of this map. In the hands of a useful person, its value is immeasurable.¡± Long Yuan could not believe his ears. He had never thought that his sect would have such a precious treasure. He looked at his master¡¯s reluctant expression and could not help but ask, ¡°Master, do you really intend to hand this map over to the senior?¡± Jiu Jian knew that the current situation of the Heavenly Sword Sect was not looking too bright. ¡°Sigh! At that time, it was purely due to luck that I obtained this map. After I obtained it, I didn¡¯t tell anyone, not even my master. If other experts were to find out that I have this map, it¡¯d lead to a bloody fight. This map would only turn to dust in my hands. I think giving it to that expert is the best choice!¡± Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qingyang Town. In the tavern. Feeling the rich spirit energy and dao charms in the tavern, Su Mengli immediately felt ecstatic. She had never heard of such a precious place before. For a moment, she felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, she chose to stay by Su Yang¡¯s side. Otherwise, how could she cultivate in such a blessed place? Su Mengli sat cross-legged on a shabby chair. How could she not treasure such a precious cultivation place? She only had one desire in her heart now, and that was to become stronger. This tavern was the starting point for her to become stronger. She also had a premonition in her heart. As long as she could continue to stay in the tavern, sooner or later, she would become a powerful cultivator that the world looked up to. At that time, she would take revenge for her blood feud. Just the rich spirit energy in the tavern was enough to increase her cultivation speed. It was now five times faster than others. Moreover, there was also the profound dao charms. It was the most precious treasure in the world for immortal cultivators. Only by comprehending dao charms could one ascend to a higher realm. The average immortal cultivator could only reach the nascent soul stage in their lifetime. Without comprehending the dao charms, one could not cultivate the heavenly dao. It was extremely difficult to break through the nascent soul stage. However, comprehending the dao charms was different. It could help one to achieve a qualitative breakthrough. If the path of cultivation was to go against the current, then comprehending the dao charms was like installing a super high horsepower motor on your boat. Su Mengli must cherish such a precious opportunity. While cultivating, she made a decision in her heart. She must stay in the tavern for a long time. Only when she settled down here would she have enough time to comprehend the dao charms and cultivate it. Su Mengli was surprised to find that her cultivation had soared from the first level of the meridian formation stage to the eighth level. This discovery made her both surprised and delighted. ¡°Why did my cultivation rise so quickly? Could it be¡­¡± ¡­ Su Yang, who had tidied up his spoils of war, walked over. Seeing that Su Mengli was cultivating, Su Yang could not help but praise in his heart. ¡®As expected of an immortal cultivator. Such self-discipline is really impressive!¡¯ Thinking about it, it made sense. Standing at the peak of the world, becoming a powerhouse with supreme power, controlling all the resources in the world, and having whatever they wanted. Anyone would probably want to live that kind of life. ¡°Su Mengli,¡± Su Yang suddenly called out. Su Mengli immediately awakened from her cultivation state. She stood respectfully and bowed slightly. ¡°What are your orders, Senior?¡± Su Yang handed the clothes in his hand to her. Although the clothes looked a little old, they were very clean. ¡°From now on, you can just call me Boss Su. You don¡¯t have to call me senior. Look at how torn your clothes are. You can change into this attire first. You can buy a new one in the future.¡± As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, Su Mengli could not help but look at the clothes on her body. In an instant, her fair face instantly turned red. Half of her light purple clothes were now dyed red by blood. There were holes of different sizes in her chest, lower abdomen, and thighs, exposing her fair skin. Su Mengli immediately lowered her head shyly. She took the clothes from Su Yang, turned around, and ran. Then, she stopped and said timidly, ¡°That¡­ Boss Su, where do I go to change my clothes?¡± Seeing Su Mengli¡¯s reaction, Su Yang could not help but smile. He did not expect that immortal cultivators were so shy. He pointed in the direction of the back door and said, ¡°Go out from the back door. The first guest room on the left is your room.¡± Su Mengli nodded with her back facing Su Yang and thanked him respectfully, ¡°Thank you, Boss Su!¡± With that said, she ran out in a panic. About an hour later. Su Mengli took a shower and changed her clothes. She went to look for Su Yang as soon as she came out. She found that Su Yang was fiddling with something in the backyard. Su Mengli walked over curiously and asked, ¡°Boss Su, is there anything I can help you with?¡± Looking at Su Mengli who had finished changing, Su Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. Even if she was dressed in men¡¯s clothes, it was hard to resist Su Mengli¡¯s noble and elegant temperament that was carved into her bones. Su Yang smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m preparing to forge a sword. You can go to the kitchen and bring me the hammer under the cabinet.¡± Hearing Su Yang¡¯s order, Su Mengli was overjoyed. As long as she was a useful person here, she could stay here for a long time. Su Mengli walked to the kitchen with a smile on her face. She found the cabinet according to Su Yang¡¯s instructions. She squatted and started to rummage through the big box full of equipment. Just as she touched the big black hammer, for some reason, there seemed to be a magical force repelling her. As long as she stretched out her hand, that force would bounce her hand away. Su Mengli could not believe it. She was an immortal cultivator in the meridian formation stage. How could she not pick up a hammer? Su Mengli¡¯s eyes were full of unwillingness to admit defeat. She wrapped the spirit energy in her hand and once again grabbed at the pitch-black hammer. In the next second, the pitch-black hammer once again sent her hand flying. Su Mengli¡¯s palm was torn by that powerful force. She subconsciously wanted to scream. However, when she thought about it and if she could not even complete a simple task, how could she stay in the tavern? Even when she was hit by that powerful force, Su Mengli did not cry out. At this moment, Su Yang outside the courtyard lit up the flames in the bellows. A thick smoke suddenly gushed out. ¡°Cough cough.¡± Su Yang was choked. Su Mengli, who was in the kitchen, heard Su Yang¡¯s cough. She could not help but feel a wave of panic in her heart, and a look of despair appeared on her face. ¡°Could it be that Senior has already noticed the abnormality here? I¡¯m so useless. Could it be that I can¡¯t continue to stay here?¡± In the next second, she changed her mind. She saw that the pitch-black hammer seemed to have returned to its usual calmness. It was no longer filled with an aggressive aura like before and had become an ordinary hammer. With a perturbed heart, Su Mengli once again reached for the hammer. This time, she successfully picked it up. As soon as it was in her hand, Su Mengli¡¯s eyes widened with shock. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°This¡­ Is this a holy weapon?¡± Su Mengli could not believe her conclusion. Apart from holy weapons, what kind of weapons had such spirit energy? In this world, weapons were divided into treasured weapons, spirit weapons, dao weapons, immortal weapons, holy weapons, divine weapons, royal grade divine weapons, and emperor grade divine weapons. The most powerful weapon that Su Mengli had ever seen was a holy weapon. And this artifact was the family treasure of her family. It was the reason why she was hunted down. In the nine regions continent, her family could be considered a strong force. As her family possessed a holy weapon, the divine spear, this had attracted the attention of the thieves. The thieves gathered several forces and robbed her family. They wanted to take the divine spear for themselves. Senior¡¯s possession of a holy weapon was not worth Su Mengli¡¯s loss of composure. She was shocked that senior would leave a holy weapon in a dark corner. If this hammer was placed in their family, they would have to worship it like their ancestors. Seeing this holy weapon hammer, Su Mengli¡¯s desire in staying here became even stronger. She firmly believed that as long as she stayed here, she would become stronger. Perhaps it was because the holy weapon hammer was stained with Su Mengli¡¯s blood, or perhaps it was because of Su Yang¡¯s cough, at this moment, the hammer was very friendly to Su Mengli. Not only did it heal the injury on her hand but it also allowed Su Mengli to break through another level and reach the ninth level of the meridian formation stage. Feeling her level break through, she looked at her palm, which was healed. Su Mengli looked at Su Yang with gratitude in her eyes. ¡°Since Senior has given me another chance, I won¡¯t Let You Down.¡± With a determined expression, Su Mengli walked toward Su Yang and handed the hammer to him. Su Yang nodded at him and said, ¡°You go ahead and entertain the guests. If anyone comes, the dishes and wine are ready. Just serve them directly.¡± Su Mengli nodded. She knew that Su Yang wanted to forge weapons and must not be seen by others. To be able to use a holy weapon as a forging hammer, one could imagine how terrifying Su Yang¡¯s forging techniques were. Such a secret technique was not something she was qualified to witness. She obediently walked to the guest room. Since there was no customer, Su Mengli sat on the chair and began to cultivate. Every minute and every second here was extremely precious to her so she did not want to waste her time. After she had cultivated for an hour, two guests, one old and one young, entered the tavern. The young one was dressed in white and had a graceful bearing. The old one was dressed in dao robe and had the air of a celestial being. Seeing that someone had come, Su Mengli immediately ended her cultivation to entertain the guests. After all, this was Su Yang¡¯s tavern. She did not dare to slack off. Su Mengli took the initiative to walk forward, revealing a polite smile as she said, ¡°Guests, please come in. What would you like to eat?¡± The old man and young man were naturally Long Yuan and his master, Jiu Jian. When Long Yuan saw Su Mengli, he was startled. Since when did senior¡¯s tavern have a female attendant? Moreover, he could also see that this woman was an immortal cultivator and she seemed to be quite strong. Jiu Jian was a nascent soul stage expert. He could see through Su Mengli¡¯s cultivation at a glance. She had already reached the ninth level of the meridian formation stage, which shocked Jiu Jian greatly. Long Yuan was the most talented disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Before he left the sect, his cultivation base was only so-so. However, such a genius disciple was only an attendant in this small tavern. It seemed that his disciple was not lying. The owner of this tavern must be an extraordinary expert. Facing Su Mengli, Long Yuan and Jiu Jian behaved humbly. ¡°Very good.¡± A smile appeared on Jiu Jian¡¯s old face. Then, he led his disciple into the tavern. As soon as they entered the tavern, Jiu Jian was instantly shocked by the ambiance. Previously, he heard from his disciple that the spirit essence and dao charms in the tavern were very rich. Without experiencing it personally, he did not know how rich it would be. When he experienced it personally, he felt like he was like a frog at the bottom of a well. When he was young, he had also walked out of the nine regions and traveled all over the world. He had experienced life and death battles of all sizes. He had also gone through countless paradises, life and death secret realms. Even with all his experience in the past few decades, he had never seen a blessed land with such a profound dao charms. As a nascent soul stage expert, he knew how important the dao charms was to immortal cultivators. When he was young, he almost lost his life to find a cultivation treasure land with a strong dao charms. Even so, the dao charms he absorbed was only average. It was that trace of dao charms that allowed him to have his current strength and status. He did not expect that this tavern was so remarkable. It was much more profound than the trace of dao charms that he had comprehended. Just how powerful was the expert¡¯s cultivation to be able to make this tavern possess such profound spirit energy and dao charms? Return to void, dao convergence, or the legendary tribulation? Jiu Jian could not imagine it at all. Just what realm was the senior here at? Long Yuan looked at the woman in front of him and said politely, ¡°I wonder where Senior Su Yang is now?¡± Hearing this, Su Mengli was not surprised at all. When these two people came in, she realized that they were also immortal cultivators. She had reckoned that they came to this little tavern for Senior Su Yang. Su Mengli smiled and said politely, ¡°Boss Su is forging a sword in the backyard. Do you want me to inform him?¡± Hearing this, Jiu Jian hurriedly waved his hand and refused. ¡°It¡¯s not necessary. Since Senior is busy, we¡¯ll wait here for a while. There¡¯s no rush.¡± Long Yuan also hurriedly nodded from behind and echoed, ¡°Right, we¡¯ll just wait here.¡± Su Mengli nodded and asked again, ¡°What would you two like to eat? The soy beef in our shop is a specialty, and the wine our boss personally brewed is also of top quality.¡± Upon hearing this, Long Yuan decisively waved his hand. He had drunk the wine that Senior Su Yang personally brewed. To immortal cultivators, that was a supreme treasure. That day, it was Senior Su Yang who invited him to drink. Now, since they were here as guests, even if they mortgaged their sect, they would not be able to afford it. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°It¡¯s fine. You may continue with your tasks. Don¡¯t worry about us.¡± Su Mengli did not insist. Instead, she walked to the window by the door and sat down to cultivate. As for Long Yuan and Jiu Jian, they naturally would not waste any precious time. Especially for Jiu Jian, the rich dao charms in the tavern was the most precious thing for him now. To break through the meridian formation stage and enter the deity transformation stage, it was necessary to understand the dao charms. Not only did the dao charms in the tavern were rich but it was also easy to understand. Ten minutes later, Su Yang came in from the backyard with a hammer. The initial form of the sword had been cast. He still needed to temper the sword. However, during the tempering process, the temperature must be maintained. Therefore, he needed Su Mengli to pull the bellows for him. He had just walked into the guest room when he saw Long Yuan and an unfamiliar old man. Su Yang¡¯s arrival naturally attracted the attention of the three people. Su Mengli called out respectfully, ¡°Boss.¡± Long Yuan and Jiu Jian greeted, ¡°Mr. Su.¡± Su Yang smiled when he saw Long Yuan. He did not expect him to leave in the morning and return in the afternoon. ¡°You¡¯re here. This is¡­¡± Hearing this, Jiu Jian hurriedly introduced himself, ¡°Greetings, Mr. Su. My name is Yin Jiu Jian. I¡¯m Long Yuan¡¯s master. I¡¯m here today to thank Mr. Su for taking care of my disciple.¡± Su Yang waved his hand when he heard that, indicating that it was nothing. The arrival of Yin Jiu Jian also surprised him. He was just leading the way for his disciple to town. There was no need for his master to come personally to thank him, right? Could this be a rule among immortal cultivators? It was really hard for people to understand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Then, Su Yang turned his head and said to Su Mengli, ¡°Mengli, help me pull the bellows!¡± Su Mengli nodded and was about to go forward. At this time, Jiu Jian was the first to speak. ¡°How can a lady do the work of pulling the bellows? If Mr. Su doesn¡¯t mind, let me do it!¡± Su Yang was also stunned when he heard this. He did not expect this old man to be so polite. If a lady could not pull the bellows, naturally, an old man could not pull the bellows too, right? Hearing Jiu Jian¡¯s words, Su Mengli could not help but roll her eyes at him in her heart. ¡®This old man wants to steal my job? It wasn¡¯t easy for Senior to give me an order, so how could you take it from me?¡¯ Su Mengli said with a smile on her face, ¡°Old Sir, you¡¯re already old. How can I let you do this kind of work? Let me do it.¡± Long Yuan looked at his master and could not help but admire him in his heart. As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. Master¡¯s skin was really thick. Of course, he knew what his master was thinking. The senior was personally forging a sword. Even if he was watching from the side, it would be beneficial to him. If it were him, he would definitely be embarrassed to say this. Since his master had already given him a head start, he naturally could not be a coward. Long Yuan offered, ¡°This kind of work naturally has to be done by a young man like me. Mr. Su, let me pull it for you!¡± Hearing Long Yuan¡¯s words, Su Mengli was furious. This master and disciple duo was really irritating. Looking at the three people who were exchanging pleasantries, Su Yang could not help but smile. In the end, he chose Long Yuan to do the chore. The reason was naturally what he said. Long Yuan was naturally very happy about this. His master, Jiu Jian, was also secretly happy. It was the Heavenly Sword Sect¡¯s fortune that his disciple could have such an opportunity to witness an expert at work. However, Su Mengli was not happy. Such a task should have been hers. However, it was snatched away by the master and disciple. If not for senior Su Yang still being here, she really wanted to give them two kicks. Long Yuan followed Su Yang to the backyard. As the master, Jiu Jian naturally followed him. Only Su Mengli was left in front to continue entertaining the guests. They came to the backyard. In the blazing sword-forging furnace, there was an unformed divine weapon. Su Yang walked to the front of the sword-forging furnace. He said to Long Yuan, ¡°When it starts gradually, I¡¯ll tell you when to take it and when not to take it.¡± Long Yuan nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. ¡°Pull,¡± Su Yang said. As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuan could be said to have used all his strength. Hu, hu, hu. Long Yuan quickly pulled the bellows. The flame of the sword-forging furnace also became more intense. The half-finished sword became red under the scorching heat. Su Yang was quick with his eyes and hands. When the sword reached the highest temperature, he quickly took it out and placed it on the sword-forging platform. He held the pitch-black hammer in his hand and began to hammer. Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Regular hammering sounds rang out endlessly in the backyard. Every time Su Yang dropped his hammer, sparks filled the sky on the sword-forging platform and the impurities on the sword were removed. The two sides of the sword also became thinner and sharper. In Su Yang¡¯s eyes, he was just forging an ordinary sword. However, Jiu Jian was shocked by what he saw. Senior was indeed a senior. He was truly an expert. Although Su Yang was forging a sword, every strike of the hammer had a profound mystery. The hammer seemed to have become one with heaven and earth. It was as if heaven and earth had turned into a hammer that was hammering the sword. Looking at Su Yang¡¯s forging technique, it was as if it was an art. Jiu Jian¡¯s breathing became faster as Su Yang tempered the sword. Sweat dripped down his forehead. Looking at Su Yang forging a sword, Jiu Jian quickly entered a mysterious state. It was as if he had entered an ethereal world. In this world, a lifelike little person was brandishing the hammer technique, which was filled with mystery. Jiu Jian had a feeling that if this hammer technique was used in the real world, it could move mountains with a single strike. To test the strength of an immortal cultivator, firstly, it would depend on his cultivation level. Secondly, it would depend on his cultivation technique, and lastly, it would depend on the martial techniques he cultivated. Even if his cultivation level was not good, if he mastered an extremely brilliant martial technique, it was not impossible for him to fight against someone of a higher level. It was estimated that according to the strength, there were four grades: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. For example, the strongest martial technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Nine Swords Flying Immortal, was only at the middle level of the black grade. In that alternate space, Yin Jiujian had comprehended a low level earth grade martial technique. Although he had only comprehended these two simple moves, they contained an extremely profound and unfathomable martial technique. After Su Yang¡¯s forging ended, Jiu Jian also walked out of that wonderful state. At this moment, from the inside out, his aura had undergone a major change. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The bottleneck that troubled Jiu Jian in the nascent soul stage had been loosened. He was only one opportunity away from breaking through the current stage to enter the legendary deity transformation stage. What made him even more excited was that he had comprehended two martial techniques that were comparable to the low-level earth rank. With these two moves, he was confident that he could contend with the Soul Hunting Sect. However, the Heavenly Mountain Gate had lent the mountain-splitting ax to the Soul Hunting Sect. After tempering the sword, Su Yang was only one step away from completing the sword. He skillfully completed the final step to reveal a new sword. However, after Su Yang sharpened the sword, Jiu Jian suddenly felt a huge crisis coming. It was as if a world-ending attack was falling from above his head. Jiu Jian raised his head subconsciously. He was shocked to find that the clouds in the sky started to condense and gradually turned black. This discovery gave him a shock. In an instant, Jiu Jian thought of a theory. It was said that when a divine weapon was born, the heavenly dao would send down divine thunder. If it could pass the baptism of the divine thunder, then this divine weapon would be filled with the aura of the heavenly dao. Then, it would become a real divine weapon. This was the difference between a divine weapon and a holy weapon. Thinking of this, Jiu Jian could not remain calm anymore. What kind of strength did this senior have that he could casually forge a divine artifact? One had to know that the forging of a divine artifact required very strict conditions. Apart from the materials used to forge the artifact, the craftsmanship of the forger and cultivation had strict requirements. Looking at the black clouds that were gradually condensing in the sky, Jiu Jian felt his heart skip a beat. When the divine weapon was born, the divine lightning could easily turn nascent soul or even incarnation stage experts into ashes. If the divine lightning really came down, could he withstand it with his cultivation level? In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. On the contrary, Su Yang had a calm expression. There was also a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing this scene, the old man could not help but admire him in his heart. ¡®As expected of a senior. He didn¡¯t panic even in the face of the heavenly dao divine might.¡¯ After the forging was completed, Su Yang originally wanted to put the sword away. At this moment, he felt that his throat was a little uncomfortable. That was the reason why he choked on the smoke while forging. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Su Yang could not help but cough twice. After he finished coughing, the dark clouds that were gathering in the sky had dispersed. The sense of crisis in Jiu Jian¡¯s heart also disappeared. Seeing this scene, he immediately felt his state of mind explode. ¡®This¡­ This¡­ This¡­ Senior only coughed lightly, and he was able to make the divine lightning formed by the heavenly dao retreat! What kind of cultivation is Senior¡­?¡¯ After forging, Su Yang looked at the two of them and said, ¡°Thank you for your help. It¡¯s also lunchtime. Why don¡¯t you stay for a meal?¡± Hearing this, Jiu Jian hurriedly said, ¡°Mr. Su, you must be joking. I thank you for letting me witness such a magnificent forging process. I even witnessed the birth of a peerless divine artifact with my own eyes.¡± Su Yang chuckled. He thought that this old man was really talkative. Although it was a little exaggerated, it was indeed enjoyable to listen to him. ¡°The two of you, please go to the front hall as guests. I¡¯ll go over after tidying up,¡± Su Yang said to the two of them. How could Jiu Jian let Su Yang work alone? He quickly went forward to help Su Yang. He found that there was a hammer lying on the ground. He was about to go up and put it away. Just as he walked to the side of the hammer, a huge aura suddenly surged out of the hammer¡¯s body. Sensing danger, Jiu Jian hurriedly activated the spirit energy in his body to defend himself. However, his defense was nearly broken by the aura emitted by the hammer. He realized that this ordinary black hammer was actually a holy weapon. His eyes could not help but widen. ¡°As expected of a senior. Even when forging a sword, he uses such a high-grade weapon. If this hammer were to be placed in our Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be a huge treasure.¡± With this thought in mind, Jiu Jian wanted to put this holy weapon away for Su Yang. However, he discovered that this hammer was repelling him. Even if he used all his strength, he was still unable to get close to the hammer. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Su Yang coughed twice again. He pinched his throat and muttered to himself in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with his throat that it hasn¡¯t recovered?¡± Just as Su Yang finished coughing, the hammer calmed down. This time, Jiu Jian could pick up the hammer as he wished. The feeling of the hammer shaking in his hand also made him extremely fascinated. He could not help but blurted out, ¡°What a good hammer.¡± Su Yang, who happened to pass by, heard this and added, ¡°It¡¯s just a broken hammer. There¡¯s nothing good about it.¡± As he spoke, he threw the broken sword that had been with him for many years beside the hammer. He continued, ¡°These two were forged together. It¡¯s been quite a long time. When the time comes, let¡¯s see if there are any scrap collectors. Let¡¯s sell them all.¡± Hearing this, Jiu Jian was immediately shocked. ¡®Was Senior crazy? He wants to sell the two holy weapons as scrap iron?¡¯ Only Senior could think of such a bold idea! Although the hammer was good, what made him value it even more was that ancient sword. This was truly a genuine holy sword. As the patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the best sword he used was only an immortal sword. ¡°Senior is truly too modest. How could this hammer and sword not be useful?¡± Jiu Jian could not help but sigh. ¡°If only I had such a sword.¡± Upon hearing this, Su Yang did not sigh in surprise. What? Could it be that all immortal cultivators were so poor? A broken sword and a broken hammer were good things? ¡®Sigh!¡¯ Su Yang could not help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that he still did not know enough about the world of immortal cultivators. After wrapping up the things in the backyard, Su Yang prepared three dishes and a soup for them. There was also a pot of wine that he personally brewed. When Jiu Jian looked at the delicacies and wine on the table, he suddenly remembered what his disciple had said. The food and wine that Senior had prepared were all heavenly treasures. Every mouthful was incomparably precious. Jiu Jian was somewhat eager to try. His disciple had eaten Senior¡¯s food and drank Senior¡¯s wine. Not only had he broken through in cultivation but even his spirit root had also evolved. Would there be any changes after he drank it? Jiu Jian was looking forward to it. However, he did not dare to eat now. What if he angered the senior? Su Yang looked at the three of them sitting motionlessly on the table. He smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be courteous. Eat quickly.¡± Only after receiving Su Yang¡¯s order did the three of them dare to eat. When the first chopstick entered their mouths, their eyes could not help but light up. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation They swore that they had never eaten such delicious food in their lives. Looking at their eyes, Su Yang smiled and nodded. Su Yang was confident in his cooking. After all, the food in this world did not taste good. He could only improve his food by himself. Everyone was eating enthusiastically. In the kitchen of the back hall, the wild cat that was knocked unconscious by Su Yang¡¯s kick gradually regained consciousness. ¡®Awoo, it hurts! D*mn humans dared to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on me. When I recover, I¡¯ll eat you first,¡¯ the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger roared crazily in its heart. It hated Su Yang endlessly. He was the son of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger King and he had fallen into the hands of a human. ¡®What a shame!¡¯ the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger shouted in its heart. He came out this time to sneak out to play. The reason why he was hunted down was because he carried a treasure that made all the monsters jealous. It was also because the protective tower was hunted down by many powerful monsters. He had no choice but to run to the nine regions and into the dense forest in the west of Qingyang Town. In the end, he was beaten up by the humans due to exhaustion. The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger stood up shakily. Its eyes kept sizing up the room. Not only the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan possess extremely strong offensive power but it also had an ability unique to their race. That was the Yin-yang eye. By opening the Yin-yang eye, one could see through all the illusions in the world. Doing so, the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger started to look around and was shocked. The kitchen possessed dao charm that had transformed. It differed from the rest as it was easier to comprehend because it had already grasped the truth of the dao. ¡®Where¡¯s this place? There¡¯s actually more than one dao charm? Even the secret realm of our Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan can only show the dao charms once every hundred years.¡¯ The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger even suspected that his Yin-yang eye had been destroyed by that human. Otherwise, why would there be such dao charms here? As a noble of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan, all the people he came into contact with were high-level existences in the cultivation world. Even so, he had never heard of any place that had so many dao charms. He also found that all the pots, pans, shovels, and kitchen knives in the kitchen were emitting an extremely sacred golden light. He knew very well what this golden light represented. ¡®These things¡­¡¯ The Yin-yang demon-eyed Tiger¡¯s jaw dropped in shock. ¡®These are all holy weapons? Even the weakest ones are at the level of immortal weapons. Is this the abode of a human immortal or a half-immortal? Otherwise, how could there be so many precious items?¡¯ Even though the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger was such a huge race, they did not dare to say that they would put so many holy artifacts in a corner as if they were broken. ¡®Even my father has never seen so many treasures.¡¯ The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger did not want to stay here any longer. It planned to continue exploring this magical place. Who exactly was this person¡¯s abode that had so many treasures? As it walked toward the front hall, it hid in a corner. It found that there was someone in the front hall. The mortal who had captured him was also there. Seeing that mortal, the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred. Just as it was about to go and teach that mortal a lesson, it stopped in its tracks. Sitting opposite Su Yang was Jiu Jian. After activating the Yin-yang eye, Jiu Jian¡¯s cultivation was exposed. The ninth level of the nascent soul stage. This strength was considered top-notch even in the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. All of them were elders or leaders of some territory. Although the cultivation of that man and woman was not very high, he could see that both of them were top-grade geniuses. Especially that man who had an earth spirit root. This kind of talent was also among the top-grade geniuses of its Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. No matter how hard it searched, it could not find Su Yang¡¯s cultivation. When it looked over with its Yin-yang eyes, Su Yang was just an ordinary person. Whether it was the old man or the two young ones, they were all extremely respectful to Su Yang. This was also something that made the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger very surprised. ¡°Mr. Su, the food you cooked is really delicious.¡± Jiu Jian¡¯s face was ruddy. The income brought to him by this meal was equivalent to ten years of cultivation. Not only did he break through to the nascent soul stage and enter the deity transformation stage, but even the hidden disease in his body was surprisingly healed. The reason why Jiu Jian could not break through for a long time was because of the hidden disease in his body. Otherwise, with his talent and knowledge, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the deity transformation stage. How could he be suppressed by that Soul Hunting Sect who was just a frog passing through the earth? At this moment, Jiu Jian was extremely grateful to Su Yang. Su Yang¡¯s existence could be said to have saved the Heavenly Sword Sect¡¯s fate. He had stayed here for less than an afternoon and both he and his disciple had made a qualitative leap in their talent and stage. This also meant that their future had endless possibilities. Even though Jiu Jian was now more than 100 years old, after he drank the wine brewed by Su Yang, his bottleneck was broken. At this time, he could not help but be filled with confidence. With his current strength and his disciple¡¯s talent, he would definitely make Heavenly Sword Sect the first-class sect in the nine regions. Suddenly, Jiu Jian stood up. With both hands holding the wine cup, he slightly bent his back and looked at Su Yang with a serious expression. He respectfully said, ¡°Mr. Su, let me raise a toast to you.¡± ¡°Haha. Good.¡± Su Yang also calmly accepted Jiu Jian¡¯s enthusiasm. ¡°From now on, the door of this tavern is always open for you two to visit!¡± ¡°Definitely.¡± Jiu Jian and Long Yuan hurriedly nodded like chicks pecking at rice. If they did not agree to this request, they would be fools. When the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger heard this, its body trembled. ¡®What?¡¯ It was as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in his mind. Only now did he finally understand what kind of mortal was he. It was the Master of the Immortal¡¯s abode. The gliding dao charms and the holy artifacts all came from this so-called mortal? Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger finally understood why his attack was able to be broken by a mortal with a single kick. How was this a mortal? This was clearly a human immortal. It was definitely a hermit expert who did not want to be revealed. Father once said that many experts were mentally ill. They clearly had a sky-high cultivation level yet they had to pretend to be a useless pig to eat a tiger. When he thought of this, the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger¡¯s heart was extremely perturbed. Just based on the handwriting in the room, that rich spirit energy, and the dao charms¡­ Even its father, the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger King, probably could not comprehend it. From this point, it could be proved that this human expert was definitely not weaker than its father. In fact, he was even stronger than its father. The funniest thing was that it wanted to take revenge on this human. If it really made a move, it would probably not even have his ashes left. Why would such an expert capture it? The Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger scratched its head, but it could not figure out why. It had no enmity with him, and it had nothing to do with him. What was most difficult for it to understand was that after capturing it, he did not hurt it, nor did he kill it. What was the reason? The more difficult it was to understand, the more terrifying it was. Not to mention that he was such a strong person. At the dining table. Su Mengli drank some wine. It was obvious that her alcohol tolerance was not that great. After two cups of wine, her face had already turned completely red. Su Mengli held her head. She felt that the entire world was spinning. However, she quickly woke up. Not only that but she also broke through the barrier of the meridian formation stage to the golden core stage in one leap! One had to know that the gap between the meridian formation stage and the golden core stage was insurmountable. Only after breaking through to the golden core stage could it be considered as stepping onto the cultivation world. It was in this stage that one was tested on one¡¯s talent and the moment of enlightenment and opportunity. Su Yang¡¯s cup of wine had allowed her to break through this heavenly chasm. One could imagine how precious this cup of wine was? What shocked her the most was that Su Yang sold the wine he brewed as ordinary wine in the mortal world. All of them were given to the mortals to drink. This was simply a reckless waste of God¡¯s gift. Such wine of the cultivation world had no effect on those mortals at all. This was simply more precious than the supreme treasures of heaven and earth. If this cup of wine were to be placed in the immortal cultivation world, it would definitely cause a bloody fight. However, in this small tavern, he had become the most common glass of wine. ¡°Senior, just how high is your cultivation? You can drink such precious wine as casually as water?¡± She did not understand why Su Yang would do this. However, if she wanted to stay here for a long time, she had to speak less and do more. Su Yang also noticed Su Mengli¡¯s strange behavior. From her appearance, he could tell that the two cups of wine had already gone to her head. Su Yang could not help but think to himself, ¡®It seems that the alcohol content of this wine is still a little high. When the time comes, I have to brew some low-alcohol wine that¡¯s suitable for women.¡¯ At the same time, everyone had almost finished eating.Jiu Jian put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and cupped his hands toward Su Yang. ¡°I brought my disciple here today to repay Mr. Su¡¯s great kindness.¡± As he spoke, Jiu Jian took out the tattered map. When he took it out, his hands were still trembling. Clearly, he still could not bear to part with it. After all, this was a chance to become an immortal. Which immortal cultivator¡¯s ultimate goal was not to become a human immortal and to transcend the secular world and head to the upper realm? He knew that these were just illusory thoughts to him. Jiu Jian handed the map to Su Yang with both hands and said, ¡°This map, which I¡¯ve been keeping for a long time, is a thank you gift. Thank you, Mr. Su, for taking care of my disciple.¡± Seeing the old man so respectfully give him a gift, although Su Yang did not know what this map meant, he put it away with a smile. At that moment, Su Yang also thought about it. ¡®Didn¡¯t the protagonists in those immortal cultivation novels find the same opportunities in the broken map? Perhaps this map was the legendary opportunity?¡¯ However, Su Yang did not have much hope for it. He knew how important this kind of thing was to immortal cultivators that they could give it to him to prove their sincerity. Su Yang looked at Jiu Jian and said with a smile, ¡°Haha, this is a good item. I¡¯ll accept it.¡± Then, he folded it and put it into his pocket. During the process, his face was still as calm as ever, without any change. Seeing this, Jiu Jian could not help but admire him in his heart. As expected of a senior, he could see the profoundness of this map at a glance. He already knew what this map meant. However, his heart was still unperturbed. This kind of unperturbed and indifferent state of mind was worth learning from. Perhaps this was the difference between him and the weaklings. However, in Su Mengli¡¯s eyes, this lousy map was just a lousy map. She rolled his eyes at the master and disciple duo. ¡®What a stingy master-disciple group. Who would thank someone for giving them a map? It¡¯s one thing to give them a map, but they even gave out a lousy map.¡¯ Previously, when she was intercepted by the master and disciple duo, she already did not have a good impression of them. Now that she saw their thanks, she looked down on the master and disciple duo even more. After all, Su Yang did not say anything. As an employee, she naturally would not dare to express any opinion. Since Senior liked it, she naturally liked it too. At the same time, the Yin-yang Demonic Eye Tiger gradually approached. When the old man handed Su Yang the map, he had activated the Yin-yang eye. The image of the map was deeply imprinted in his mind. It felt that he had seen this map somewhere before. Countless memories began to surge in his mind. When it recalled it, the pair of black and white eyes instantly widened. ¡®This¡­ Could this map be the one that my father couldn¡¯t put down? This map hides the opportunity to become a human immortal. I didn¡¯t expect that it was in the hands of a person whose cultivation base was only at the deity transformation stage. I didn¡¯t expect this human to have no interest in it. It¡¯s a chance to become a human immortal. Don¡¯t tell me¡­¡¯ Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The western Blue World. This was the paradise of the demon beasts in the nine regions. Almost 70% of the demon beasts had taken root here. Although the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan here was only a side branch, they were still the top force in the western Blue World. In the territory of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan, dozens of black and white Yin-yang Demon Eye Tigers had gathered. One of them had a huge claw mark on his right eye. He was the leader of this branch tribe. Standing on a huge rock, he looked down at the rest of his clan. ¡°Roar!¡± He roared toward the sky. ¡°The headquarters sent a message saying that the son of our king has run into the nine regions. Moreover, he has encountered danger. Now that his life is at stake, the king is very angry and ordered us to find the prince as soon as possible. Otherwise, our branch will have no footing in this world.¡± Hearing this, all the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tigers revealed fear in their eyes. If the king wanted to drive them away, they would meet their end. One of the younger-looking Yin-yang Demon Eye Tigers walked out and said, ¡°Leader, do you know where the prince was seen last? This information would be helpful when we go search for him.¡± The leader nodded and said, ¡°The king told me that the prince used his clan¡¯s life-saving secret technique. According to that aura, the king has locked onto the prince¡¯s last location. It¡¯s in a dense forest in the jade forest world.¡± The young Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger nodded and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll personally search for the prince¡¯s whereabouts. If I knew who attacked our prince, I¡¯d definitely exterminate their entire clan.¡± As soon as he finished his words, the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tigers behind him began to howl at the sky. ¡°Exterminate his tribe!¡± ¡°Exterminate his tribe!¡± ¡°Exterminate his tribe!¡± The elder looked at him with gratification and instructed, ¡°Those who dared to attack the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tigers are definitely not weaklings. Those who could force the prince to use his secret technique must be at least in the deity transformation stage. ¡°Bai Feng, bring two more deity transformation stage warriors with you. I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯ll be dangerous.¡± Bai Feng did not comment on the elder¡¯s words. He raised his chin proudly and said disdainfully, ¡°The jade forest is full of weak humans. I¡¯m a third-level Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger. Who can stop me if I go there?¡± The elder looked at Bai Feng¡¯s arrogant look and shook his head helplessly. He sighed in his heart. ¡®Sigh, he still doesn¡¯t know how terrifying the outside world is. There are always some big shots among humans who like to hide their strengths. ¡®This is also a good experience for him. I hope he can understand that the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger¡¯s name isn¡¯t that great in the outside world.¡¯ Thinking of this, the leader did not stop him anymore. He nodded and agreed. After obtaining the permission of the clan leader, Bai Feng left quickly without saying anything. After he left, a female tiger walked to the side of the clan leader. She used her tongue to lick the hair of the clan leader and said with a heavy gaze, ¡°Bai Feng is hot-headed. How can you let him go just like that?¡± The leader looked in the direction of Bai Feng and said in a low voice, ¡°The jade forest is like what Bai Feng said. There are no powerful warriors. Warriors at the first or second level of the deity transformation stage are already kings there. With Bai Feng¡¯s strength, he¡¯s the most suitable candidate. This is also a rare experience for him. I hope he can get rid of his domineering character.¡± Although she knew the meaning of this, she also knew that there were always some old monsters in the human race who liked to conceal their strengths and be pretentious. She was afraid that Bai Feng would be arrogant and offend them. ¡­ Jade Forest World. Qingyang Town. A small tavern. Jiu Jian and Long Yuan had also accomplished their purpose of coming here. Su Yang instructed Su Mengli to send the two of them off. Meanwhile, he went to the kitchen. It was almost nighttime. That was when the tavern was the busiest. When they reached the door, Jiu Jian said courteously, ¡°Thank you for sending us off, Miss.¡± Su Mengli really did not have any good expression toward these two people. She said expressionlessly, ¡°Our boss said that you should come often in the future.¡± Upon hearing this, Jiu Jian and Long Yuan hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Come often? Of course, they had to come often! It would be even better if they could live here like you. However, that was impossible. After bidding farewells, the master and disciple flew toward the direction of the sect. Along the way, Jiu Jian could clearly feel that his spirit energy was extremely condensed. It was comparable to those who had entered the deity transformation stage for more than ten years. All of this was thanks to that cup of wine. ¡°Today¡¯s trip wasn¡¯t in vain!¡± Jiu Jian could not help but turn his head to look in the direction of the tavern. How could he have imagined that he, who had almost been cornered by the Soul Hunting Sect, would now turn the tables? There was even the possibility of a counter-attack. However, during this trip, the greatest benefit was not a breakthrough in stage. It was a change in the state of mind. Whether it was in that mysterious world, watching that mysterious man waving the mysterious technique, or Su Yang¡¯s indifferent temperament, it was a vital moment in his life. The improvement of the state of mind was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after. Hence, it was important to the immortal cultivator himself. The higher the stage one was at, the higher the probability of having inner demons in the heart. Only the strength of the heart could resist the inner demons. Su Yang¡¯s state of mind, which was extremely extraordinary and not arrogant or impatient, had enlightened Jiu Jian. The improvement of one¡¯s state of mind would allow an immortal cultivator to go further. Su Yang returned to the kitchen. He found that the wild cat, which was supposed to be lying on the ground, had mysteriously disappeared. ¡°Could it be that the wild cat isn¡¯t dead?¡± Su Yang murmured. Then, he went out to search for it. As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw the wild cat coming toward him. It walked over gently and rubbed its legs lovingly. It looked very clingy. However, the wild cat did not want to look cute on the surface as its heart was bleeding with tears. ¡°Wuwuwu, I never thought that I¡¯d do such a thing to a human. If I couldn¡¯t die, I¡¯d never make such an undignified move. However, I still have a family waiting for me. I must live on.¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Looking at this coquettish wild cat, a smile appeared on Su Yang¡¯s face as he lifted it with both hands. ¡°Oh? Why? Aren¡¯t you going to attack me? Your skin is so pretty. I was planning to sell your skin.¡± Hearing this, the wild cat panicked. ¡®D*mn, this human wants to sell my skin?!¡¯ Even if no one dared to buy it, it could not guarantee that Su Yang would not dare to skin it. ¡°Meow¡­¡± The wild cat kept meowing. It seemed to be begging for mercy. Seeing this scene, Su Yang was also amused by him. He smiled and said, ¡°Why? Do you know to be afraid?¡± The wild cat nodded repeatedly when it heard this. Su Yang did not expect that the wild cat that he had picked up in the forest would be so spiritual. It was also a good choice to let it stay in the tavern. Su Yang had been in this world for more than 20 years. He had always been alone and lonely. Except for a neighbor who was on fairly good terms with him, no one was close to him. Now that Su Mengli had joined the small tavern, it was considered better. If there was another wild cat, it would be more lively. With this in mind, Su Yang decided to keep the little fellow. ¡°Seeing that you¡¯re so intelligent, then stay and guard the door for me!¡± ¡°Meow¡­¡± The wild cat meowed. However, this meow was more or less mixed with an unconvinced voice. ¡®I¡¯m a member of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. How dare you ask me to guard the door?¡¯ Su Yang placed it on the ground and squatted. He placed his hand on its chin and began to think. ¡°What should I name him?¡± Just as Su Yang was still in a dilemma, Su Mengli walked in. When she saw the wild cat on the ground, her eyes immediately lit up. Which girl could resist a cute cat? ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t expect there to be a cat here. What¡¯s its name?¡± As she said this, Su Mengli skipped over. She held the wild cat in her arms and stroked its fur lovingly. Being stroked by Su Mengli like this¡­ The wild cat was extremely angry. Seeing how much Su Mengli liked this little wild cat¡­ Su Yang was even more certain that he had to make up his mind. He smiled and said, ¡°Give it a name.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Su Mengli cried out in surprise, ¡°then let¡¯s call it Mimi. How about it?¡± ¡°Mimi?¡± Su Yang called out, ¡°not a bad name.¡± Su Mengli was extremely happy to receive Su Yang¡¯s approval. She hugged Mimi and gently stroked its head. ¡°Little Mimi.¡± Hearing this name, the wild cat went crazy. ¡®I¡¯m an upright man. What kind of name did you give me? Mimi? Your whole family is Mimi!¡¯ Su Yang looked at Su Mengli and said, ¡°Go find a basin later and give it all the leftovers today.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about wasting the leftovers in the future.¡± Su Mengli agreed happily. She hugged Mimi the whole time. She found a big basin for him. She poured all the leftovers into it. Looking at the bowl of leftovers on the floor, Mimi was furious. ¡®I¡¯m the son of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger King. How can I eat leftovers? When I was in the clan, I ate all the treasures. I ate all the delicacies. Humans. D*mn humans. F*ck you. How dare you let me eat leftovers?¡¯ Although it was hungry, as a Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger, it was born with pride. It looked at the basin in front of him and fiercely turned its head to bite its mouth. It secretly swore in his heart, even if it jump down from here today, it would never eat a bite of human food even if it got run over by a car. Seeing that Mimi did not eat, Su Mengli was a little flustered. ¡°Boss, the cat doesn¡¯t eat!¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. He might not be used to the environment. ¡°Su Yang touched the cat¡¯s chin. He instructed Su Mengli to leave the bowl of food there. The wild cat would eat when it wanted to. Night fell. The cold autumn wind blew into the small tavern, bringing waves of coolness. The next day, after Su Mengli had woken up, the first thing she did was to check if Mimi had eaten. To her disappointment, Mimi had not. She was more or less worried. What if it was starving? She found Su Yang and planned to ask him what to do. However, Su Yang¡¯s answer was to tell her to bring the leftovers for it. When it was hungry, it would definitely eat. However, how could Mimi accept such an explanation? Mimi was now very sure that this human was clearly insulting it. It stared fiercely at Su Yang. It wanted to swallow him whole. ¡®D*mn human, how long are you going to humiliate me? Even if I die, I won¡¯t eat your leftovers.¡¯ It thought fiercely in his heart. Su Mengli brought the rice bowl over. She squatted and gently used her hand to stroke Mimi with a light smile. Even this wild cat was healed by Su Mengli¡¯s gentle smile. Even so, it would never eat the leftovers. ¡°Mimi, come and eat. Be good,¡± Su Mengli called out to it from the side. Mimi had already made up its mind that it would never eat leftovers. Unfortunately, its stomach had a different feeling. It started to grumble. Mimi took a look at the delicious leftovers. In the end, it turned its head away. Grumble¡­ Its stomach started to grumble again. It had not eaten for a few days. Even if it had a noble bloodline. It could not starve. ¡®Once. just this once, I¡¯ll endure the humiliation. I¡¯ll eat to survive. That¡¯s right. That¡¯s how it is¡­¡¯ Mimi cheered itself on. Mimi walked to the rice bowl and started to eat. In a flash, it had finished all the food in the bowl. ¡®Emm, it tastes so good¡­¡¯ Mimi patted its stomach and said in satisfaction. Su Yang looked at Mimi. It was eating so well that he could not help but roll his eyes at it. ¡°This cat is really¡­ He refused to eat it before, and now he has finished it all.¡± Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Mimi finished eating the leftovers, it instantly felt that its body had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. The injuries from before had unexpectedly healed. Moreover, its own cultivation seemed to have improved somewhat. After feeling all of this, Mimi simply could not believe it. Could it be that¡­ These leftovers were all treasures? Otherwise, why did it only recover after eating these leftovers? It looked at Su Yang gratefully. It realized that Su Yang was also looking at him with a smile. ¡®As expected, the leftovers that this human gave me are all treasures. Then, why did he tell me that these are leftovers and not tell me that they are treasures?¡¯ It lowered its head and fell into deep thought. Very quickly, Mimi thought of the point of view of the matter. Its pupils instantly dilated and its body could not help but shiver. ¡®Could it be that this is a test given to me? If I don¡¯t eat this meal, I¡¯ll definitely be skinned and sold by him. But if I eat it, I¡¯ll receive endless benefits and become one of them from now on. That¡¯s right, it must be so.¡¯ Mimi was extremely certain. Otherwise, why would he give such a precious thing to it? Even if it was precious medicine in its clan that could help heal injuries increase cultivation level, each one of them had a cultivation level of over a hundred years or even over a thousand years. Otherwise, how could it have such a powerful benefit? Moreover, those precious medicines were extremely unpleasant to the taste. Although Su Yang¡¯s food was not very tasty, the effect of the medicine was very strong. This was simply a once-in-a-century peerless treasure. These few days, the small tavern was very quiet. The people who came were all ordinary citizens of Qingyang Town. Today, Su Yang planned to brew the Hundred Flowers Wine. For the past few days, he had been searching for the ingredients. The Hundred Flowers Wine was not like other wines. It was not only soft but also sweet and delicious. It was very suitable for women to drink. The reason why he was brewing this wine was because he thought Su Mengli had gotten drunk after drinking his usual wine that day. Obviously, that kind of strong wine was not suitable for women. With the Hundred Flowers Wine, he believed that his tavern would attract a large number of women, increasing his income. The process of brewing the wine was very complicated and he needed an assistant to help. Su Mengli was currently entertaining guests in the front hall. Then, he thought of Mimi. Although Mimi was a demon beast, it was quite intelligent. It could understand him. So, it was also a good choice to ask the cat for help. Su Yang found the cat. He picked up Mimi and took out a large drumstick, waving it in front of its eyes. ¡°Mimi, do you want to eat a large drumstick?¡± Looking at Su Yang¡¯s smile, Mimi was so scared that its legs were trembling. Who knew what this human was thinking? He even got it a drumstick. This is the only decent meal in recent days. Hence, this human must be up to no good. Mimi thought so in its heart, but the chicken drumstick in front of it was too tempting. Su Yang¡¯s food was an earthly treasure. After eating so many leftovers from Su Yang, Mimi¡¯s cultivation had already reached the third level of the nascent soul stage. This speed could be said to be quite fast. Mimi looked at Su Yang warily. Although it really wanted to eat the big drumstick, it did not show its intention too casually. Su Yang shook the drumstick and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to brew the Hundred Flowers Wine in a while. Come and help me. If you perform well, this big drumstick will be yours.¡± Hearing this, Mimi heaved a sigh of relief. So, it was a job. ¡°Meow¡­¡± Mimi meowed. Seeing that Mimi had agreed, Su Yang smiled and brought him to the backyard. It was now filled with all kinds of colorful petals. There were about dozens of petals. The petals in each small bottle were different. Although it was called Hundred Flowers Wine, it was not made with 100 kinds of flowers. It was just because the name sounded better. The sun was shining. Su Yang started his brew. ¡°Rose!¡± Su Yang said to Mimi. Mimi came very obediently, bringing the bottle containing the flower with its mouth. Su Yang took the rose petals and crushed them. He then fused it with the petals and leaves he had obtained previously. During this process, Mimi, who was watching from the side, was shocked. How was he brewing wine? He was clearly practicing. The top of the wooden barrel contained countless heavenly axioms. It contained extremely profound dao charms. Every petal Su Yang put in seemed to contain a heavenly axiom rule. The entire wooden barrel contained extremely terrifying energy. Even Mimi could not help but feel fear when it saw the energy in the wooden barrel. It was not because it was frightened by the terrifying energy. The fear came from deep within its heart. It was as if it was carved into its bones, and it came from the fear in its genes. It was as if animals were afraid of their natural enemies, and immortal cultivators were afraid of the heavenly dao. The fragrance emitted by Su Yang during the brewing of the Hundred Flowers Wine was absorbed into Mimi¡¯s body. It was the fragrance that contained the heavenly dao¡¯s law, the truth of the universe. It allowed the bloodline in its body to evolve. One had to know that the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan was already an existence with an extremely exquisite bloodline. Above that was the Divine Beast Clan. It was simply not something that demonic beasts like them could compare to. Now, Mimi was very certain that its current bloodline was extremely precious. It even carried a trace of divinity and fairy charm. In an instant, Mimi seemed to have thought of something. It remembered that its father said their Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan was the bloodline of the Holy Beast White Tiger. Its father had once said that every ten thousand years, a holy beast would appear from the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. This holy beast contained the bloodline of the Holy Beast White Tiger. Eventually, it would evolve into the legendary Holy Beast White Tiger. Thinking of its father¡¯s words, Mimi was extremely shocked. ¡®Could it be that my current bloodline had already upgraded to the White Tiger Bloodline? This¡­ This¡­¡¯ Mimi was so excited that she could not speak. It looked at Su Yang¡¯s back with gratitude in his eyes. It had always thought that this human was trying to humiliate it. Now, it finally understood that this human was grooming him. ¡®The reason why the senior humiliated me previously must be to temper my state of mind. After all, father has said more than once that I¡¯m arrogant and conceited.¡¯ Whether it was to let it eat leftovers or to let it help brew wine, all of them had allowed its innate talent and strength to improve qualitatively. Especially the process of brewing wine with him, which had helped level up its bloodline. If its father knew about this matter, its father would have laughed its head off. After all, it was the bloodline of the White Tiger. Chapter 20 - Proud Mimi, Im the Tiger Who Forged the Most Precious Treasure in the World! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mimi¡¯s clan had always been proud of the Holy Beast White Tiger. Once the Holy Beast White Tiger¡¯s Bloodline appeared, it would become the beloved child of the entire Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan. Mimi looked at Su Yang and muttered, ¡°Senior, thank you for your training, I, the prince of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan, Bai Liang, swear on my bloodline that I¡¯m willing to serve you for a hundred years.¡± Mimi was Bai Liang. It was truly grateful from the bottom of its heart and was willing to serve Su Yang, In the cultivation world, especially the demon beast world, swearing on one¡¯s bloodline was the most poisonous oath. This was because the action would be recorded by the heavenly dao. Once one had broken the oath, one would be destroyed by the heavenly dao. Just after Mimi finished swearing, the Golden Heavenly Dao rune suddenly appeared in its mind. This was what the heavenly dao left behind after it had signed the contract. If it broke the contract, the heavenly dao rune would destroy him. Whether it was its blood or its body, it would dissipate in this world. The brewing process lasted for two hours. After all, the brewing process of the Hundred Flowers Wine was complicated. After the brewing was completed, Su Yang covered the Hundred Flowers Wine jar. He estimated that he would be able to drink it tomorrow morning. At this time, Mimi jumped into Su Yang¡¯s arms. It lay down in Su Yang¡¯s arms obediently. Feeling Mimi in his arms, Su Yang¡¯s lips also revealed a smile. He did not know why but at that moment, he felt a close and quiet feeling between himself and Mimi. It was as if the cat had been his friend for decades. As Mimi had signed a contract, Su Yang would feel the bond between them although it was a one-sided deal. At this moment, Mimi felt extremely proud. In its father¡¯s eyes, it would always be a useless young master who only knew how to idle every day. Its father would scold or hit him for the things that he had done or had not done. As it did not feel its father¡¯s appreciation toward it, it chose to run away from home. Now, it had met a big shot like Su Yang, and he had even brewed a peerless treasure. ¡®Haha, Father, just you wait. When I return, I¡¯ll definitely make you look at me in a new light. And now, I¡¯ve already cooperated with Senior to create a holy drink that¡¯s comparable to the divine medicine from two years ago. Even you don¡¯t have such an experience, right? Thinking of this, Mimi looked at Su Yang with even more gratitude. As the saying goes, ¡°reading ten thousand books is better than traveling ten thousand miles.¡± ¡®Now that I have an expert like Su Yang to nurture me, in no time, I would be¡­!¡¯ At this moment, Su Mengli looked into the backyard. She looked at Su Yang and shouted, ¡°Boss, a guest has arrived. He said that he¡¯s looking for you.¡± Su Yang heard this and nodded indifferently. Then, he walked over. At the door stood an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. The girl was slim and graceful. Her facial features were exquisite. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was still a top-notch beauty. This beauty was Su Yang¡¯s neighbor. They could be considered childhood sweethearts. ¡°Nan¡¯er!¡± Seeing this woman, Su Yang¡¯s eyes could not help but light up. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen this childhood sweetheart of his. ¡°En.¡± Wang Nan nodded lightly. ¡°Come in and have a seat.¡± Su Yang gestured for her to come in. Her face revealed a somewhat bashful expression. In the end, she wanted to say something but hesitated. After thinking for a long time, she said, ¡°I won¡¯t go in. I came here today to tell you that I¡¯ve successfully joined the Heavenly Sword Sect.¡± ¡°Heavenly Sword Sect?¡± Su Yang was puzzled. Why did this name feel so familiar to him? Suddenly, he remembered. Long Yuan was the last disciple of some forefather of the Heavenly Sword Sect, no? That old man who came that day was also some elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect? Seeing Su Yang¡¯s different reaction, Wang Nan¡¯s face revealed a mocking smile, but it also seemed to be a reaction that had long been expected. ¡°also, with your knowledge, you definitely don¡¯t know about the Heavenly Sword Sect, because that¡¯s a sect of immortal cultivators. Do you know what immortal cultivators mean?¡± Wang Nan questioned with a hint of ridicule. How could Su Yang not see the meaning in Wang Nan¡¯s tone? She clearly looked down on him as a mortal. After all, she was already an immortal cultivator, and was not on the same side as him. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he did not care. She had her dream as an immortal cultivator and he was his little boss. ¡°Okay, since you¡¯ve already decided, then go ahead and do it,¡± Su Yang said calmly. Seeing Su Yang¡¯s calm expression, Wang Nan was suddenly a little angry. What kind of reaction was that? Did he really not know what it meant between immortal cultivators and mortals? ¡°By the way, where are Uncle and Aunt?¡± Su Yang asked. As neighbors, Wang Nan¡¯s parents treated him very well. Su Yang took out the sword he had forged some time ago. He handed it to Wang Nan and said, ¡°Uncle also has a martial arts dream. He often says he wants a sword, which just happened to be forged a few days ago. Give it to Uncle for me!¡± Su Yang¡¯s voice just fell, not waiting for Wang Nan to speak. A voice of great impatience came from behind. ¡°Nan¡¯er, are you done? We should go back!¡± At this moment, a young man in a green robe walked out from behind her. He was holding a long sword in his hand. When he saw the person who came, Wang Nan instantly revealed a smile on his face. ¡°Brother Shijie, I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± ¡°Mm, hurry up, ¡°the young man said indifferently. He did not even look at Su Yang. After all, in his eyes, they were just mortals. They were not worthy of him greeting them. Su Yang did not care about the young man¡¯s arrogance at all. Nor did he dislike the culture of the immortal cultivation world because of him. After all, the forest was big, and there were all kinds of birds. At least Jiu Jian and Long Yuan looked humble and polite. Moreover, they were both in high positions. One could imagine that these people in the immortal cultivation world were quite humble. Being urged by that young man, Wang Nan did not plan to waste time. ¡°As for that sword, you can keep it for yourself.¡± After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Su Yang. She ran to the young man¡¯s side, and the two left. Looking at their backs, Su Yang only smiled faintly and did not take it to heart at all. After returning to the shop, he laid down on a rocking chair and leisurely drank a little wine. Heavenly Sword Sect¡¯s main hall. Jiu Jian sat at the head with a dignified expression. Besides Long Yuan, the people who gathered here were all Heavenly Sword Sect¡¯s elders and their disciples. It was rare for the entire sect¡¯s elites from top to bottom to be here. Chapter 21 - You Must Be Humble, You Must Be Humble, You Must Be Humble! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there was a strong sense of solemnity. The duel between Jiu Jian and the Soul Hunting Sect would not end because of Jiu Jian¡¯s breakthrough. Everyone thought that after Jiu Jian broke through to the deity transformational stage, the duel would be without suspense. However, they received confirmation today that the leader from the Soul Hunting Sect had reached the deity transformational stage a few years ago. Now, he had reached the third level of the deity transformational stage. This news made the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect feel like they were on a roller coaster. One was Jiu Jian, who had just reached the deity transformational stage. Although he had drunk Su Yang¡¯s wine, he had a solid foundation in this stage. However, the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect was at the third level of the deity transformational stage. comment In the deity transformational stage, there was a huge gap between each level. Hence, the first and third levels of the deity transformational stage were not on the same level. It was obvious who was stronger. Judy, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, looked at the crowd and said in a low voice, ¡°Let¡¯s put our heads together and think of something.¡± The hall was silent. In front of absolute strength, all schemes were illusory. Was the Heavenly Sword Sect really going to end up like this? At this moment, a green-robed young man walked out. He was the disciple of the third elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was also the man who appeared with Wang Nan earlier. ¡°Yu Shijie, what do you want to say?¡± Jiu Jian asked. ¡°Elder, since we can¡¯t fight the Soul Hunting Sect, why can¡¯t we avoid this battle?¡± Yu Shijie asked doubtfully. Hearing this¡­ Everyone in the hall laughed bitterly. If they could avoid the battle, why would they still think about it? The feud between Jiu Jian and the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect could be traced back to decades ago. The two of them cultivated together in the outside world. They were good friends, but because of a treasure, they fell apart. It was on that day that the two swore an oath with their blood and the heavenly dao. Thirty years later, the battle would be decided. This oath with the heavenly dao could not be reversed. If they did not fulfill their promise, they would suffer a backlash from the heavenly dao. Jiu Jian looked at the people in the great hall with dejected expressions. He sighed helplessly in his heart. ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t count on you guys anymore.¡± As he spoke, Jiu Jian stood up and walked toward the Great Hall. Earlier, he had already thought of a countermeasure. If he could borrow senior Su Yang¡¯s broken sword, at a glance, he had the confidence to defeat the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect. Although the sword was broken, he could tell that it was a truly sacred weapon. Even the Soul Hunting Sect¡¯s mountain-splitting ax contained only immortal qi. As long as Jiu Jian could take the sacred weapon and use the two earth rank martial skills he learned from Su Yang, it would be much easier to defeat the Soul Hunting Sect. After all, it was a sacred weapon. ¡°All of you can leave now!¡± Jiu Jian waved his hand. ¡°Elder!¡± ¡°Elder, what are you¡­?¡± Before he could come up with a countermeasure, Jiu Jian had ordered everyone to leave. Could it be that they really did not have the strength to fight now? If that was the case, then the Heavenly Sword Sect¡­ Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with heavy solemnity and despair. Looking at the dejected faces of everyone, Jiu Jian looked at them with a look of disappointment. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I have a plan.¡± Seeing this, Jiu Jian knew he had to reassure them. ¡°As long as I can borrow that sword¡­ Soul Hunting Sect, hehe, you¡¯ll be just a pretty clown.¡± ¡°Sword?¡± ¡°What sword?¡± Everyone looked puzzled. What kind of sword could make him so confident? How could he defeat the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect, a third level deity transformation warrior? Jiu Jian did not want to explain too much to them. ¡°You¡¯ll know when I borrow the sword.¡± ¡®Then, Jiu Jian left with Judy impatiently. Only the people in the hall were left with doubt and unease. Judy was also confused. Why did the elder call her? She asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the elder going to borrow the sword?¡± The reason why Jiu Jian wanted to call Judy to go with him was because he felt that he should let the sect leader know of the existence of that senior. ¡°Those little brats of the Heavenly Sword Sect don¡¯t know what they are talking about. They don¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth. One day, if they don¡¯t open their eyes, they¡¯ll offend the senior. Then, the Heavenly Sword Sect would really come to the end of their lives.¡¯ Jiu Jian did not explain much to her. With a wave of his hand, he pulled her up and flew straight to Qingyang Town. After arriving at Qingyang Town, Jiu Jian decisively chose to walk down the street. Judy was very puzzled by Jiu Jian¡¯s action. ¡°Uncle, you are¡­¡± Judy was also Jiu Jian¡¯s niece. ¡°Why don¡¯t we fly straight there?¡± ¡°What do you know?¡± Jiu Jian reprimanded coldly, ¡°I advise you to put away your arrogance as the sect leader. This is the territory of that senior. Put away your arrogance and be respectful.¡± Seeing the serious look on her uncle¡¯s face, Judy was even more confused. This small Qingyang Town was worthy of her uncle¡¯s fear? Moreover, how could this mortal city have the sword that her uncle needed? Although she was extremely puzzled, she still restrained her aura. After all, she knew that her uncle would definitely not let go of something for no reason. ¡°Uncle, how could this small Qingyang Town have the things that you need?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, there are too many experts in this world. Even a beggar on the street can be an existence that you can¡¯t afford to offend. Therefore, when you go out, you must restrain your arrogance. You must be humble and courteous to others to live a long life.¡± Judy knew that Jiu Jian was warning her so she listened to him patiently. However, she did not think that there would be any experts in Qingyang Town. After all, she had lived in this area for decades. She had been to Qingyang Town many times and she did not encounter any so-called experts. The two of them walked along. Soon, they arrived at the tavern. ¡°This is the place!¡± Looking at the tavern, Jiu Jian¡¯s eyes were full of endless respect. Judy, on the other hand, had a puzzled look on her face. Was this not just an ordinary little tavern? Jiu Jian turned around and warned Judy, ¡°Remember to be humble after you enter. You must be humble. You must be humble. You must be humble.¡± ¡°all right!¡± She did not know why Jiu Jian was so cautious and that he had warned her three times. In the past, Jiu Jian had never repeated anything twice. ¡®What exactly was the reason that could make Jiu Jian so careful? With an exploratory heart, she and Jiu Jian walked in.. Chapter 22 - Senior, This Is a Small Punishment for You! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The moment she entered the tavern, Judy was instantly shocked by the rich spirit energy and the tremendous dao charms. ¡°This¡­ Thi ¡­ Is this really the secluded residence of some otherworldly expert?¡± Jiu Jian saw Judy¡¯s reaction and he nodded. ¡®I believe that she¡¯ll become humble when she steps into this environment in the tavern. It was noon. There were no guests in the tavern. Only Su Mengli was cultivating on the chair alone. Sensing that someone was coming, Su Mengli immediately stood up to welcome the guests. ¡®When she saw that the person who came was that stingy old ancestor from before, her expression instantly turned cold. However, they were still senior Su Yang¡¯s guests after all. So, she went forward to receive him very patiently, ¡°Are you here to look for our boss?¡± comment ¡®When Jiu Jian heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He cupped his hands and smiled politely, ¡°Miss, please pass on the message.¡± Judy watched from the side as Jiu Jian was so respectful to a little girl. It made her even more curious about the senior here. Moreover, she could see that this little girl¡¯s cultivation was not weak at such a young age. She should be the disciple of this senior. Before Su Mengli went to report to her boss, Su Yang walked in from the kitchen. When he saw Jiu Jian, he smiled and greeted him politely, ¡°The old man is here. Please take a seat inside.¡± Seeing Su Yang, Jiu Jian immediately bowed and said, ¡°Mr. Su, please.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Su Yang said with a smile and did not stand on ceremony with him. He came to a place by the window and sat down. Seeing this, Jiu Jian also sat down with Judy. Judy sized up the young man in front of her. From top to bottom, she could not sense any aura of an immortal cultivator. Was this person a mortal? What surprised her was that Jiu Jian was so respectful to a mortal. Soon, she understood the reason. It must be because Jiu Jian loved his neighbor as he loved himself. Since this young man was from the tavern, then he was the senior that Jiu Jian talked about. No wonder Jiu Jian was so respectful toward him. Jiu Jian looked at Su Yang and introduced Judy. ¡°This is my¡­¡± ¡°Ican tell. Uncle and niece, right?¡± Su Yang waved his hand and said first. ¡°You¡¯re indeed Mr. Su!¡± Jiu Jian was full of admiration. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. It was unnecessary for him to do this. With senior Su Yang¡¯s sky-reaching means, he probably saw through his identity at a glance. He even saw through his purpose of coming here. Su Yang smiled. This was nothing. Jiu Jian was an old man, and Judy was a middle-aged woman. Moreover, Judy was also so respectful to Jiu Jian. Besides the relationship between uncle and niece, there was nothing else, right? ¡°What do you want to eat today? I¡¯ve just prepared a pot of steamed meat. Do you two want some?¡± Su Yang asked with a smile. ¡°Sure!¡± Jiu Jian said decisively. It must be known that every ingredient here in Su Yang¡¯s tavern was on the level of a precious earthly treasure. Not to mention that it was freshly cooked. He believed that its value must be extremely precious. Su Yang was just about to go to the kitchen when Judy suddenly said, ¡°Let¡¯s have a pot of wine!¡± Su Yang smiled when he heard this. Then, he nodded and left. However, this sentence frightened Jiu Jian. With a bang, Jiu Jian slapped the back of Judy¡¯s head. Judy felt pain and rubbed the back of her head. She asked in puzzlement, ¡°Uncle, why did you hit me?¡± ¡°Hit you? I want to beat you to death.¡± Jiu Jian¡¯s eyes were full of anger. Looking at the disappointing niece in front of him, Jiu Jian really wanted to slap her to death. ¡°That¡¯s Mr. Su. How dare you order Mr. Su to do things?¡± Judy thought otherwise. ¡°Isn¡¯t the purpose of opening a tavern to serve customers? I just ordered a pot of wine!¡± ¡°Just a pot of wine?!¡± Jiu Jian asked coldly, ¡°Do you know what a pot of wine here means? Even if we sell our Heavenly Sword Sect, we might not be able to afford a pot of wine. You actually dare to order a pot of wine? I think you really don¡¯t want to be the sect leader anymore!¡± Judy¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. Was it not just a pot of wine? How could it be more valuable than their Heavenly Sword Sect? She could not believe it at all. She thought that her uncle was getting old and was a little confused. Not wanting to continue on this topic, she said, ¡°Uncle, the spirit energy here is so dense. You can cultivate here. The cultivation speed here is definitely several times faster than the outside world.¡± Looking at the disappointing niece in front of him, Jiu Jian snorted coldly. ¡°Hmph, how could I not know? This is Senior¡¯s residence. How can we casually cultivate here?¡± Hearing this, Judy did not mind. Encountering such a good cultivation place, he naturally did not want to waste the golden opportunity. Thus, she immediately closed her eyes and began to cultivate. ¡®As soon as she closed her eyes, she could feel the extremely dense spirit energy and the dao charms that had taken shape. Judy was extremely shocked. Asa nascent soul stage cultivator, she knew the importance of dao charms too well. Moreover, this was a dao charm that had already taken shape. For nascent soul stage experts, that was something that could only be encountered by chance but not sought after. She did not expect there to be so many here. Right at this moment, she discovered a dao charm that had transformed into a sword. This dao charm was practically tailor-made for a sword cultivator like her. Without saying anything else, she intended to absorb and comprehend this dao charm. However, just as she started to absorb it, that sword-shaped dao charm suddenly moved and pierced her at an extremely fast speed. A sword had pierced into her sea of consciousness. When her sea of consciousness was attacked, Judy instantly felt that her entire head was about to explode. The sea of consciousness was a very important place for an immortal cultivator. Whether it was cultivating techniques, martial techniques, or comprehending the dao, they needed a medium and that was the sea of consciousness. However, if her sea of consciousness was injured, it would be irreversible. She could have an endless future, but her life would stop here. Judy held her head in pain, her face was full of agony. Jiu Jian sensed something was wrong and quickly used his qi to stabilize her injury. ¡°Did you try to comprehend the dao charm earlier?¡± Jiu Jian asked while treating her. Judy nodded in pain. Jiu Jian saw the situation and thought, sure enough. ¡°You, you, why don¡¯t you listen to my advice? It must¡¯ve been Mr. Su who punished you just now. You dared to be disrespectful to Mr. Su, and you even casually comprehended the dao charms here. It¡¯s already a good thing that I didn¡¯t take your life and cripple your cultivation.¡± Judy did not expect her uncle to not care about her at this time. He even blamed her? Now she also believed what her uncle said that her behavior earlier was indeed a little inappropriate. From her uncle¡¯s words, she also heard that the young man without cultivation was the owner of this shop. At this time, she hated her uncle to death in her heart.. Chapter 23 - Are Immortal Cultivators Poor? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, Judy wanted to cry but had no tears. ¡®Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier that Mr. Su was a reclusive expert? Looking at Judy¡¯s painful expression, although Jiu Jian wanted to help her, he could not do so. If his sea of consciousness was seriously injured, then it would be the end of him. As far as he knew, there was no way to treat the injury of the sea of consciousness. At this moment, he felt quite sorry for his niece. However, how could she offend the senior? This could be considered as teaching her a lesson. Although this lesson was very painful, at least it was better than becoming a cripple. At this time, Su Mengli walked over. She placed the bill on the table. She looked at Jiu Jian and pointed at the bill. He looked at Su Mengli in front of him, his heart full of doubts. ¡°May I know what you are here for, Miss?¡± Jiu Jian asked. Su Mengli looked at him with a somewhat forced look. She could not help but snort coldly in her heart. ¡®As expected, this old fellow has changed to another person to freeload here.¡¯ ¡°This is the bill. A plate of meat and a pot of wine for a total of ten gold coins,¡± Su Mengli pointed at the bill and said. Upon hearing these words, Jiu Jian revealed a look of sudden realization. ¡°Right. The bill has to be paid.¡± Jiu Jian immediately began to search his body. Then, his face turned red. He did not have any money. ¡®The point was, what was the use of an immortal cultivator like him bringing a mortal currency with him? Feeling helpless, he used his hand to push back against Judy, who was still struggling in pain. ¡°Judy, quick! Do you have ten gold coins?¡± ¡°Ten gold coins?¡± Judy cried out in surprise. ¡°Uncle, how could I such thing?¡± Su Mengli rolled her eyes as she watched from the side. This was what the two of them were saying. What? Did they want to eat and drink for free again? Judy and Jiu Jian fumbled around for a long time. Finally, they found the ten gold coins in their respective space artifacts. They found them by coincidence as no one knew when they had put them in. ¡®They handed the gold coins to Su Mengli. After Su Mengli received the money, she ignored the two of them and turned around to walk to the kitchen. At this time, Su Yang was in the kitchen, putting the freshly cooked meat into a plate. Su Mengli walked over and said to Su Yang, ¡°Boss, those two immortal cultivators are too poor. Ten gold coins seem to have emptied their entire family fortune.¡± Hearing Su Mengli¡¯s words, Su Yang could not help but be stunned. He could not help but asked, ¡°Are immortal cultivators all very poor?¡± This question shocked Su Mengli. As the direct descendant of a large family clan, she did not lack any cultivation resources. She also did not need to worry about trivial matters in life. However, she knew that most people in the immortal cultivation world were very poor. This was because cultivation resources require money. the more precious cultivation resources, the more expensive they were. It was very likely that their lifetime wealth would not be able to afford it. In the end, Su Mengli nodded her head affirmatively. Seeing the way Su Mengli nodded, Su Yang could not help but be stunned. ¡®Was it not said that immortal cultivators had unlimited power and wealth? When he thought about it, it made sense. Those were the privileges of the almighty. Most immortal cultivators were like ordinary people, taking risks for money. At this time, he remembered what Jiu Jian said. His broken sword could make him envious. Su Yang could not help but sigh in his heart. ¡®As an elder of a sect, he doesn¡¯t even have a decent sword. It¡¯s really¡­ That old man is a good person. He and I are fated to be together. Let¡¯s give him that broken sword.¡¯ ¡®Thinking of this, Su Yang asked Su Mengli to bring the broken sword over. Meanwhile, he brought wine and food to Jiu Jian and Judy. Su Yang had just sat down when he saw Judy, who had a terrible headache and a painful look on her face. When Su Yang saw this, he asked in puzzlement, ¡°Oh? Is your niece having a headache?¡± ¡®When Jiu Jian heard this, he could not help but panic and his hands trembled. ¡®It¡¯s over. Senior is reprimanding Judy.¡¯ ¡®Then, Su Yang laughed and said, ¡°If you have a headache, just drink this cup of wine and you¡¯ll be fine. Wine is the essence of grain. The more you drink, the younger you become. This wine of mine can cure all diseases. Hahaha.¡± ¡®When Jiu Jian heard this, his eyes could not help but light up. He looked at Su Yang with eyes full of gratitude. He knew that Su Yang was giving Judy a chance to change. So, he nudged Judy¡¯s thigh and berated, ¡°Mr. Su is giving you a chance to repent. How dare you not take it?¡± At this moment, Judy trusted Jiu Jian¡¯s words. Enduring the pain, she stood up and picked up the glass of wine. She bowed 90 degrees to Su Yang and said, ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Su.¡± Although she did not think that a glass of wine could cure the damage to her sea of consciousness, she still drank it in one gulp. Judy instantly felt a warm current slowly glide through her body. As time passed, the effect of the alcohol gradually came into play. Judy was surprised to find that her sea of consciousness did not hurt as much. The originally painful expression also eased up a bit. Judy touched her head in disbelief. She found that it really did not hurt. Her sea of consciousness did not suffer any damage. Moreover, the scope of her sea of consciousness had even expanded by a circle. This discovery made her both surprised and happy. At this moment, she was both respectful and fearful of this young man in front of her who did not have any spiritual aura. What kind of existence could allow a cup of wine to heal her already damaged sea of consciousness? Judy could not help breaking out in cold sweat behind her back. There was also a wave of lingering fear in her heart. If she had been a bit more arrogant earlier, she would definitely die on the spot today. Su Yang saw that Judy¡¯s expression had eased up. He smiled and asked, ¡°How is it? It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore, right?¡± Judy respectfully cupped her hands and thanked him, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Su. I can¡¯t repay you. But¡­ But¡­¡± Seeing Judy stutter, Su Yang asked with puzzlement, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°Mr. Su, your cup of wine is so precious. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t afford it,¡± Judy said with some worry. She had never heard of a treasure that could heal the injury sustained in her sea of consciousness. However, Su Yang¡¯s wine had restored her sea of consciousness in the blink of an eye, and even expanded it. At this moment, she finally believed what her uncle said. A cup of wine from senior was worth all the wealth of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Hearing this, Su Yang could not help but smile. ¡®As expected, their Heavenly Sword Sect is really poor. They can¡¯t even bear to drink a cup of wine. I really don¡¯t know why Wang Nan wants to go there desperately? Although he thought so in his heart, Su Yang could not say so on the surface. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t the two of you already paid for this wine?¡± ¡°What?¡± Judy suddenly exclaimed. Chapter 24 - Why Is That Human Here Again? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡®When did she pay for the wine? Then, she thought about it carefully. Only then did she remember that the woman had asked them for money for the food earlier. At that time, because of her headache, she did not think too much about it. Logically speaking, when guests pay for the restaurant bill, it should be after they had done eating. However, that woman had chosen to ask them to pay the bill right after ordering. It was only now that she understood why. It was likely that the senior knew that the two of them could not afford the expensive price of wine. So, he used this method to preserve their self-esteem. Thinking of this, Judy became even more respectful toward this senior. At this time, Jiu Jian said, ¡°Mr. Su, this time I came¡­¡± Before he could finish, Su Yang interrupted. ¡°I know.¡± Then, he took the broken sword and put it on the table. ¡®When Jiu Jian saw the broken sword on the table, his eyes instantly widened, and his whole body shook with excitement. Just putting the broken sword there made his breathing become more rapid. The admiration for Su Yang in his heart became even deeper. ¡®As expected of a senior. He already knew the purpose of our visit.¡¯ Such a great favor made his eyes fill with tears. ¡°Tl never forget your great kindness, Mr. Su.¡± With both hands trembling, Jiu Jian picked up the broken sword on the table. He was so excited that he knelt. Judy, who was at the side, also reacted the same. ¡°So, the sword that Uncle mentioned was this broken sword in front of us. No wonder while the entire sect was frowning, only Jiu Jian remained calm.¡¯ At first, she did not think there was any weapon that could match the cultivation of the third level of the deity transformation stage. When she saw this broken sword, she finally knew what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well. ¡°What are you doing? Get up quickly.¡± Seeing the two of them kneel, Su Yang quickly went to help them up. The two of them still stubbornly kowtowed twice before standing up. ¡°Hey, why are you doing this? Isn¡¯t it just a broken sword?¡± Su Yang sighed. Last time, Jiu Jian had said that it would be great to have such a sword. Only now did he see Jiu Jian¡¯s desire to have it. ¡°To Mr. Su, it¡¯s indeed just a broken sword, but to me, it¡¯s like sending charcoal in the snow!¡± Jiu Jian said excitedly. Looking at his excited face, Su Yang could not help but sigh. In this immortal cultivation world, if one did not have the means, one could only die of poverty. Since he had already awakened the system, he naturally could not be an ordinary owner of a small tavern. He had to make himself strong and stand at the peak of this world. Jiu Jian carefully put away the broken sword. He was even more grateful to Su Yang. He thought that it would be very difficult to borrow a holy weapon. He and Su Yang had only met once. He did not expect Su Yang to gift him such a precious item. With this sword, Jiu Jian was confident that he could fight with the Soul Hunting Sect. Not only did Su Yang save him, but he also saved the entire Heavenly Sword Sect. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration for Jiu Jian to kneel and thank Su Yang. After the meal, Jiu Jian and Judy hurriedly returned to the sect. They had successfully obtained the holy sword. Jiu Jian had to let the people of the sect know that they now had enough strength to deal with the Soul Hunting Sect. The afternoon was the busiest time in the tavern. Today, Su Yang saw a weak immortal cultivator. He decided to grow strong quickly. Su Yang decided to continue to farm monsters in the dense forest. So he left Su Mengli by herself in the tavern. ¡°Sigh, when could I obtain 10 million experience points?¡± On the way to the dense forest, Su Yang sighed. ¡®When Su Yang reached the forest, its peace was broken. Wind Demon Tiger and Fiery-tailed Fox looked at each other. Their eyes revealed an extremely solemn expression. Wind Demon Tiger looked at Fiery-tailed Fox and said in a deep voice, ¡°That human is here again. What should we do?¡± Although Fiery-tailed Fox had always been known for being sinister and cunning, facing a human who could kill a level five demon beast with a single strike, its so-called scheming would seem like just a joke. ¡°Brother Tiger, I think we should use the same method as last time!¡± Fiery-tailed Fox did not have any good idea and could only propose this. ¡®The Wind Demon Tiger sighed. If it was not because it had no other choice, how could it be willing to let its own tribe die? If he did not do so and allowed this human to go deeper into the forest, the two of them would also be treated as monsters and be killed by him. At this moment, the Fiery-tailed Fox seemed to have thought of something. ¡°Brother Tiger, do you think this human is here because of that thing?¡± Hearing this, the tiger¡¯s eyes became solemn. He had long sealed off the news of the appearance of that thing. The news of that thing had not been spread out at all. However, this human had come at this time. Today was the day that that thing was born. At the thought of this, the tiger¡¯s back could not help but turn cold. It seemed that this human was definitely not an ordinary expert. The tiger could be said to have expended all its efforts to conceal the aura of that thing. However, that thing still managed to summon the person. ¡°Sigh, it seems that he has no fate with us,¡± the tiger sighed and said. At this time, Su Yang once again came to the place where he had killed the monsters last time. This time, there were no bones or limbs left on the ground. Looking at the empty flat ground, Su Yang muttered to himself, ¡°I wonder if there will be so many demon beasts attacking me today!¡± Su Yang continued to move forward. He wanted to see if there were any low-level demon beasts for him to farm. ¡®The tiger sensed Su Yang moving forward. It hurriedly summoned its underlings to stop Su Yang. That thing was about to be born. As long as it could get its underlings to stop Su Yang, it would be a worthy death. It wanted to get that thing and break through to the deity transformation stage. ¡®The tiger had just given the order but an accident happened. The entire forest began to shake violently. Rumble! The earth cracked and the trees collapsed. All kinds of strange phenomena happened. Whether it was the mountain birds, wild beasts, or the powerful demon beasts, they all spread out in all directions. Sensing such a strange phenomenon, the tiger¡¯s eyes showed joy. ¡°Great! That thing will be born soon!¡± Chapter 25 - Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, the World Shook! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Brother Tiger, didn¡¯t you say that that thing will only appear in two hours? Now that the phenomenon has appeared, will that thing still appear according to your original calculations?¡± Hearing Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s words, the tiger was stunned. Its pupils continued to dilate, its body was trembling, and its heartbeat also increased. This was because what Fiery-tailed Fox said was very true. That thing had a trajectory. Now that it had been born ahead of time¡­ Did that mean that the array formation and preparations it had previously set up were all useless? Thinking of this, the tiger suddenly felt like crying but he had no tears. It had painstakingly planned what would happen for almost a year¡¯s time. In the end, it was all for naught. It would never have thought of that thing being born ahead of time. Suddenly, it thought of the human who had just arrived. ¡®The tiger then looked in the direction of Su Yang and muttered, ¡°F*ck human! It must be because of his appearance that all my plans have been in vain.¡± Although the tiger was extremely angry and unwilling, it did not dare to settle the score with Su Yang. ¡®At the same time, the tremors became more intense. Ten years, a hundred years of trees had collapsed one after another. At this moment, Su Yang¡¯s face was also filled with doubt. Was he not just here to farm monsters? Why did he experience a natural disaster? ¡°Looks like it¡¯s not suitable to farm monsters today!¡± Su Yang muttered to himself and planned to leave. Just as Su Yang was about to turn around and leave, a different vibration came from behind him. It felt as if something was about to come out of the ground. Su Yang stopped in his tracks with curiosity. He turned around and looked in the direction behind him. He found that there was an obvious crack in the ground less than 100 meters away from him. ¡®Then, the crack gradually expanded and collapsed. Gradually, a big black hole appeared. In time, that big hole gradually got bigger. The hole was pitch black. From a distance, it seemed to be full of mystery and oppression. Su Yang subconsciously took a step back and the collapse also stopped. Then, something seemed to be in the black hole. Rumble. The earth began to shake again. In the blink of an eye, an extremely huge tree emerged from the black hole. Su Yang looked at the thick and strong tree and was shocked. The trunk of that tree was as thick as ten people hugging it. The height of the tree was only three meters but the branches and leaves were extremely lush. ¡®At the same time, white energy emerged from the black hole and merged into the tree at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this time, the world also had a huge change. The sky that was clear just a moment ago was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Thunder rumbled in the sky. Every time the thunder rumbled, the giant tree in front of Su Yang would light up. This was the first time Su Yang had seen such a strange phenomenon since he came to this world. ¡°Could it be that this is the legendary phenomenon of the birth of a treasure?¡± Su Yang looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and muttered, ¡°it seems that as a transmigrator, I can be considered the main character. The opportunity is right in front of me. Who else can have this kind of treatment other than the main character?¡± ¡®The scope of this phenomenon was very huge. The nine regions were divided into nine realms. The Jade Forest World where Su Yang lived and the western Blue World where the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan lived were both one of the nine realms. It was the phenomenon caused by the appearance of this tree that radiated to the entire nine regions. Everyone in the nine worlds saw the occurrence of the phenomenon. Jade Forest World. Soul Hunting Sect. ¡®The leader looked at the phenomenon in the sky. His eyes were filled with shock and greed. Gradually, that expression became incomparably crazy. ¡°That¡­ That¡¯s¡­ the legendary ancient Bodhi tree?¡± After recognizing the ancient tree, he began to laugh maniacally. ¡°Hahaha¡­ Hahaha¡­ Hahahaha¡­ ¡°The heavens are really helping me. The ancient Bodhi tree actually appeared in the Jade Forest World? Looks like the heavens want to make my forefather¡¯s Soul Hunting Sect famous in the nine prefectures!¡± The next second, he disappeared from where he was. Then, the ethereal voice of the leader of the Soul Hunting Sect was heard. ¡°All the people in the Soul Hunting Sect who are above the Golden Core stage. Regardless of whether you¡¯re in seclusion or what you¡¯re doing, you must appear in the martial arts practice field within ten minutes. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be killed without mercy!¡± Western Blue World. The leader of the Yin-yang Demon Tiger Clan looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and fell into deep thought. Its wife walked to its side and muttered, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the ancient Bodhi tree to appear in the nine regions. It¡¯s really strange.¡± The leader¡¯s face was also full of disbelief. ¡°This kind of heaven and earth phenomenon isn¡¯t something we can comprehend.¡± The leader¡¯s wife said, ¡°That¡¯s the ancient Bodhi tree. How can you be so calm? Don¡¯t you intend to fight for it?¡± The leader shook his head when he heard this. ¡°Now that Bai Feng has rushed to the Jade Forest World, the appearance of the ancient Bodhi tree at this time should be a test for him.¡± ¡°Let Bai Feng fight for this kind of opportunity himself, With his strength, he should be able to survive in the nine regions!¡± The Nameless World. The Jade Lady Sect. The elder of the Jade Lady Sect looked at the sect leader, Wu Yudie, and said, ¡°Sect leader, I didn¡¯t expect the ancient Bodhi tree to appear in the nine regions. The heavens are really helping our Jade Lady Sect. If you can obtain the ancient Bodhi tree, I believe that you¡¯ll break through to the deity transformation stage. This way, the headquarters won¡¯t let you go back, and you don¡¯t have to marry that guy anymore.¡± How could Wu Yudie not know what the elder said? The appearance of the ancient Bodhi tree had indeed saved her life. ¡®Wu Yudie was not originally from the nine regions. She came from a place that was even bigger and more mysterious than the nine regions. She fled here to escape the marriage arranged by her family. That was why she chose to establish a sect in the nine regions. Now, her Jade Lady Sect was very famous in the entire nine regions. Just a month ago, her family told her that she had to return within three months. Otherwise, she would be punished for treason. Under her strong protest, and people who pleaded for her, there was room for negotiation. As long as she could break through to the deity transformation stage within three months and reach the return to void stage, then she could continue to stay in the nine regions.. Chapter 26 - The Nine Regions Shook, and a Giant Beast Apeared! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A shocking phenomenon enveloped all the forces in the nine regions. The Ancient Barbarian Race in the Desolate World. The Inferno Demon Sect in the Nine Serenity World. The Supreme Dao Sect in the Myriad World. The Rakshasa Demon Sect in the Devil World. The Nine Suns Heavenly Gate in the Nine Suns World. The Elf Race in the Elf World. The leaders of all the worlds gathered their sect¡¯s top forces and rushed to the Jade Forest World. The appearance of the ancient Bodhi tree was a great opportunity for them. The tree appeared once every hundred years. Every time it appeared, a bloody fight would break out in the immortal cultivation world. However, it had never appeared in the nine regions as the spirit energy here was too thin. Today, it had appeared in the weakest Jade Forest World. comment While they were surprised, the group of leaders was also extremely excited. If the ancient Bodhi tree appeared in other places, these forces in the nine regions did not have the qualifications to fight for it. Now that it had appeared in the nine regions, to them, it was a heaven-sent opportunity. Furthermore, they did not need to worry about the interference of outside forces. A greater force besides the nine regions was 108,000 miles away from here. Even the top experts needed time to get here. By the time they reached, the experts from the nine regions had already taken the tree as their own. This unprecedented incident had caused the originally peaceful nine regions¡¯ undercurrent to surge. In the sky, the number of human cultivators had even exceeded the number of birds and beasts. A large number of immortal cultivators swarmed over and rushed to the Jade Forest World boundary at the fastest speed. The Jade Forest World. In the primitive jungle. Looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, the Wind Devil Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox looked at each other. The Fierce-tailed Fox¡¯s eyes were filled with greed and worry. Looking at the Wind Devil Tiger at the side, it said with a trembling voice, ¡°Brother Tiger, this treasure doesn¡¯t seem to be the one you mentioned! To be able to trigger such a terrifying heaven and earth phenomenon, how could it be an ordinary object?¡± The Wind Devil Tiger looked at the ancient tree not far away that emitted endless dignity. Its gaze did not dare to look directly at the ancient tree for too long. Shaking the huge tiger head, it said in a deep voice, ¡°I thought it was just an ordinary natural treasure. Who would¡¯ve thought that it was an ancient Bodhi tree that appeared? Looking at the power of the heaven and earth phenomenon, the entire nine regions should be alarmed! Humph! I think that in less than two hours, those greedy humans will swarm over. In the end, the Wind Demon Tiger snorted angrily. The Fierce-tailed Fox thought that it could get a share of the natural treasure that appeared today. Who would have thought that it would be ancient Bodhi tree that only appeared once every hundred years? Such a rare treasure was not something that it and the Wind Demon Tiger could have. Perhaps one second it was still in their hands, and the next second, their heads might fall to the ground. Although it was unwilling, the Fierce-tailed Fox did not dare to have any desires on the Bodhi ancient tree. Not to mention those human beings who had not yet felt it. Just the human in front of the tree alone was enough to let the two of them know how to observe from afar. Although the tree was no longer fated to be with the two of them, even if they stood around it, they could still benefit greatly. The ancient Bodhi tree had existed for tens of thousands of years. Just the aura emanating from its body was enough to benefit some immortal cultivators for life such as comprehending dao charms, cultivating heavenly dao, and comprehending the truth. Cultivating in the area around the tree could also be considered a supreme opportunity for the two of them. Su Yang stared at the huge ancient tree in front of him with his mouth agape. He knew that this ancient tree was definitely not an ordinary object. After all, he had only recently come into contact with this world¡¯s immortal cultivation world. He had no idea what the value of this ancient tree meant. He only knew that it was definitely a good thing. ¡°This thing should be a genius earthly treasure in the immortal cultivation world, right? Although I don¡¯t know what use it has, I¡¯ll take it first.¡± Su Yang rubbed his hands. He was determined to obtain this treasure. ¡®What if it could speed up his cultivation speed? When he thought of the 10,000,000 experience points, he felt a headache. Su Yang slowly pulled out the sword. Step by step, he gradually approached the tree. He knew that this kind of treasure born from heaven and earth would definitely have a guardian and it would not let people easily approach it. At this moment, Su Yang did not dare to slack off. He focused his mind and cautiously tried to move forward. He was afraid that a demon beast would sneak up and attack him. When Shu Yang was less than 10 meters away from the tree, a strange sound came from the bottom of the pitch-black hole again. Chi chi chi¡­ Chi chi chi¡­ Chi chi chi¡­ A sound Su Yang had never heard before came from the bottom of the black hole. It sounded like a snake flicking out its tongue. It was accompanied by the sound of an object rubbing against a rock. Hearing this noise, Su Yang did not dare to be careless. This cultivation world was too dangerous. He did not know how powerful the thing under the black hole was. Even with his qi refinement stage cultivation, he did not know if he could beat it. If he could not beat it, he did not know if he could escape. Su Yang wanted to give up this treasure. However, when he thought of the cruelty of the cultivation world, his gaze became resolute. To grow quickly, opportunity and hard work were inseparable. Obviously, this ancient tree in front of him was his first opportunity in this world. No matter what, he would not let such an opportunity pass him by. Su Yang held his sword in front of his chest with both hands, ready to fight at any time. As soon as that thing came out, he would swing his sword at it regardless of he could succeed or not. Chi chi chi¡­ The strange sound was getting closer and closer. The entire forest echoed with that terrifying and ethereal sound. Chi chi chi¡­ It seemed to have reached the cave entrance. At the same time, the gravel on the ground at the entrance of the cave began to tremble. Su Yang stared in the direction of the entrance of the cave with a serious expression. ¡®It seems that this isn¡¯t a small thing!¡¯ Su Yang exclaimed in his heart. In the next second, a huge creature in red leaped up. In just a breath¡¯s time, its figure appeared in front of Su Yang. Su Yang took a closer look and did not expect it to be a giant python. Its entire body was scarlet red, and its blood-like scales were filled with a terrifying bloody smell. Its two scarlet vertical pupils made people shudder. Looking into its eyes, it was as if they were staring into an endless black abyss. ¡®There was a horn growing on top of the blood-colored ferocious snakehead. Not only that but there were also three pairs of terrifying scarlet wings. Seeing such a terrifying creature, Su Yang¡¯s eyes instantly widened¡­ ¡°F*ck, what kind of creature is this? Why is it so terrifying? Can I beat it with my qi refinement cultivation stage?¡± Chapter 27 - The Possessor of the Holy Beast Bloodline? Behead! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, Su Yang felt some regret in his heart. Why did he overestimate himself to test the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world? He was only in the qi refinement stage, yet he dared to covet such a treasure? It was obviously too late to regret now. The giant python had clearly set its eyes on him. Its blood-red vertical pupils stared intently at Su Yang. It was as if it wanted to swallow him whole. Although Su Yang felt a trace of fear toward this strange creature in front of him, his eyes were incomparably firm, and there was no trace of worry on his face. He knew that it was useless to be cowardly at this time. That giant python would not let you off just because you were cowardly. At this time, there was only a slim chance of survival if you fought with all your might. The Fierce-tailed Fox and the Wind Demon Tiger who were watching from not far away were terrified. The two beasts looked at the python that was dozens of meters long. Their hearts were filled with endless fear. This kind of fear came from the depths of their bloodlines. It was a fear that was engraved in their bones. comment It was obvious that the giant python in front of them had suppressed the two of them. The demon eyes of the two beasts looked at the giant python in shock. Their bodies were trembling violently. The two of them wanted to leave this troublesome place. However, their limbs did not listen to their commands at all. The appearance of the giant python had clearly suppressed the two of them. Even if they wanted to escape, the fear that came from the depths of their bloodlines prevented them to move no matter what. The Wind Demon Tiger trembled as it muttered to itself in a stuttering voice, ¡°This¡­ This is an ancient Blood Python! Why would such a creature appear here?¡± The Fierce-tailed Fox clearly did not know what an ancient Blood Python was. Although it was afraid, its strong curiosity still drove him to explore the secrets within. ¡°Brother¡­ Brother Tiger, is the ancient Blood Python very strong?¡± the Wind Devil Tiger looked at the Fierce-tailed Fox and asked such a retarded question. It wished it could kill it on the spot with a single claw. ¡°That¡¯s an ancient Blood Python, one of the noblest and powerful bloodlines in the Demon Beast World. Even the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger is weaker than the ancient Blood Python!¡± ¡°What?¡± The Fiery-tailed Fox could not believe its ears. ¡°This ancient Blood Python is so terrifying, Even the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger with the bloodline of a holy beast is weaker than it?¡± ¡°Humph!¡± The Wind Devil Tiger snorted and said disdainfully, ¡°The bloodline of a holy beast? Don¡¯t tell me that only the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan has it?¡± ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re saying that this ancient Blood Python also has the bloodline of a holy beast?¡± the Fierce-tailed Fox asked in disbelief. The Wind Devil Tiger looked at the ancient Blood Python. Other than fear, there was also endless admiration and respect in its eyes. ¡°The bloodline of the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger Clan is too thin. After all, its clan is extremely large. The bloodline has long been diluted. Only once every hundred years, when their clan opens a secret world and evolves their bloodline, will the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger, which has the pure bloodline of a holy beast, appear. ¡°But the ancient Blood Python is different. It¡¯s a single lineage, and there will only be one ancient Blood Python in each generation.¡± Upon hearing the Wind Demon Tiger¡¯s explanation, the Fierce-tailed Fox nodded. In its heart, it began to respect this ancient blood python. In the Demon Beast World, strength was the most important. As long as you were strong and your bloodline was noble, you would receive the recognition and love of countless demon beasts. You would not be like the human immortal cultivators who were scheming and flattering each other. On the other side. Su Yang and the ancient Blood Python were still looking at each other. This was not just any ordinary look. It was a silent staring contest. The reason why the ancient Blood Python appeared when the ancient Bodhi tree appeared could be traced back to a hundred years ago. Due to greed, the ancient Blood Python chose to disappear together with the tree. It originally thought that with its terrifying strength and the bloodline of a holy beast, even if it rushed to the alternate dimension with the ancient Bodhi tree, it would be able to safely return to the real world and obtain endless benefits from the tree. However, it was clear that it had overestimated its own strength and the ancient Bodhi tree¡¯s tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Not only did it not obtain any benefits but it was also bitterly suppressed by the tree for a hundred years. It was not until the tree came into being again that it had the chance to see the light of day. During these hundred years, being suppressed by the ancient Bodhi ancient tree, his cultivation was only at the peak of the deity transformation stage. Without a hundred years of rest and recuperation, it was impossible to retum to its peak strength. The ancient Blood Python and Su Yang had been staring at each other for ten minutes. It was not that the snake did not want to kill Su Yang. It was because it had just been born and had not fully recovered its strength. The human in front of it did not have any spiritual power. It felt uneasy. The Blood Python stuck out its tongue and spoke in human language, ¡°Human, are you not afraid of me?¡± The Blood Python¡¯s voice was low and dignified. Su Yang heard that the python in front of him spoke in human language. His heart trembled. ¡°As expected of the immortal cultivation world. Even animals can speak?¡± Although he did not have much confidence in Su Yang¡¯s heart, he could not lose in terms of imposing manner. Holding the sword with one hand, the blade was pointed straight at the Blood Python¡¯s huge body. Su Yang said loudly with confidence, ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just a small red snake. Is it worth being afraid of?¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing that the human in front of it looked down on it, the Blood Python was instantly enraged. It was an ancient blood python. Even in the wider continent, it was an existence that everyone feared. It did not expect to be looked down upon in the Jade Forest World. The anger that had been suppressed for 100 years was quickly ignited at this moment. It no longer cared if this human in front of it was some mighty human being. It would finish him off first. In the next second, the huge body of the snake leaned back slightly. Then, it opened its huge bloody mouth and swiftly moved toward Su Yang with lightning speed. Su Yang did not expect this python to be so unreasonable. He did not know any skills, let alone any martial skills. Ina moment of desperation, Su Yang subconsciously swung his sword. His slash was ordinary, but the destructive power almost tore a hole in the space. The Blood Python did not expect this either. The human in front of it seemed to be much more terrifying than when it was at its peak. Su Yang¡¯s sword landed on the scales of the blood python. Hiss¡­ Su Yang¡¯s sword instantly cut open the defense that the Blood Python was proud of. Its body was cut open, and a large amount of blood instantly gushed out. For a moment, the originally green land was dyed blood red¡­ Chapter 28 - Silver Wax Spearhead, Good-looking but Useless! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Boom! The Blood Python fell weakly to the ground. At this moment, it was stunned by the attack¡¯s speed. ¡°Why¡­? I just came into this world. Why did I meet such a terrifying fellow?!¡± It was unwilling to accept it. It was not easy to walk out of that dark alternate dimension. It had yet to properly absorb the fresh and beautiful air here. Yet, he was about to die on the spot. ¡°Ican¡¯t die¡­ I can¡¯t die¡­ If I die, won¡¯t our Blood Python bloodline be cut off? If it¡¯s cut off here, how can I face my ancestors?¡± Su Yang walked toward it step by step. Every step the human took was great torture to the snake. At this time, Su Yang was extremely shocked. He did not expect that the python in front of him was a silver wax spearhead. It looked mighty but was weak. Looking at it, it was incomparably handsome and extremely dignified. Su Yang did not expect it to be a weakling. Looking at the giant python that was lying on the ground, the corners of Su Yang¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Such a rare big fellow. It should be able to sell for a lot of money!¡± As he spoke, Su Yang held his sword and gradually approached the giant python. Hearing Su Yang¡¯s words, the Blood Python¡¯s heart could not help but feel cold. Its eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. ¡°I, the magnificent Blood Python, didn¡¯t think that one day, I¡¯l be used by a human to sell for money. What a shame!¡± At this moment, its heart could not help but feel extremely aggrieved. It was not easy for it to see the light of day again. Suddenly, those two terrifying vertical pupils trembled. It seemed to have thought of something. ¡°Sell for money? Could it be that this human likes money¡­?¡± Thinking of this, hope was rekindled in the Blood Python¡¯s heart. Looking at Su Yang, who was already close by and waving the sharp sword in his hand, it hurriedly said, ¡°Human, wait¡­¡± Hearing the words of the python, Su Yang did not immediately put down the sword in his hand. After all, this kind of snake-like creature was a very cunning existence. If this guy took advantage of him for not being to attack, it may result in a bad outcome. However, Su Yang also wanted to hear what the python had to say. After all, it was the first time he had seen a demon beast speak. However, he did not dare to relax. Su Yang placed the sharp sword at the python¡¯s throat and said coldly, ¡°What else do you want to say? If you dare to play tricks¡­ Hehe, you¡¯ll know your outcome.¡± The Blood Python saw that there was still a chance and nodded repeatedly. ¡°I know, I know. Powerful human, I know that you want money. But if you sell me, it won¡¯t be worth much. ¡°However, the fruit on that ancient tree is a priceless treasure. If you spare my life, I can tell you how to get the fruit from this ancient tree. Although you¡¯re very powerful, this is an ancient Bodhi tree that has lived for tens of thousands of years. Even if you have extraordinary means, you can¡¯t forcefully get the Bodhi seed.¡± ¡°Ancient Bodhi tree? Bodhi seeds?¡± Su Yang muttered. Hearing the python¡¯s words, Su Yang¡¯s interest was piqued. An ancient tree that had lived for more than 10,000 years must produce something precious. Although he was very interested in this proposal, Su Yang still did not let down his guard and said, ¡°Oh? This news is indeed worth sparing your life. However, how can I be sure that the news you told me is true?¡± Hearing Su Yang¡¯s words, the Blood Python¡¯s brain began to operate rapidly. Soon, its vertical pupils lit up with a strange light. Then it said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I swear on my ancient Blood Python¡¯s bloodline that if I lie to you, my bloodline will be destroyed by this world.¡± Seeing the giant python swear such a poisonous oath, Su Yang did not think much of it. After all, he lived in a place called the Blue Planet in his previous life. Swearing a poisonous oath was the most untrustworthy thing anyone could do on that planet. He really did not know that swearing on one¡¯s bloodline in this cultivation world was all witnessed by the heavenly dao. ¡°Humph!¡± Su Yang suddenly snorted and said coldly, ¡°This kind of oath is useless to me. I advise you not to play with me. Otherwise, I¡¯l kill you right now.¡± Hearing Su Yang¡¯s words, the Blood Python felt extremely aggrieved. ¡®I¡¯ve already sworn on my bloodline, yet you still don¡¯t believe me? The python roared in its heart. Logically speaking, as long as one heard a bloodline oath, they would definitely be able to gain the other party¡¯s trust. However, this human in front of him still did not believe him. At this moment, the Blood Python was completely desolate. Swearing on one¡¯s bloodline was extremely authoritative to most demon beasts or immortal cultivators. However, it was different because it had two kinds of bloodlines in his body. One was the bloodline of the Holy Beast Dragon, and the other was the bloodline of the Blood Python. Normally, an individual could only have one kind of bloodline. A strong bloodline would assimilate and destroy a weak bloodline. It was very rare for two bloodlines to be in the same body. When the Blood Python¡¯s cultivation reached its peak, its bloodline would evolve into the bloodline of the Holy Beast Dragon. Due to greed, it wanted to take the Bodhi seed and purify his Holy Beast Dragon bloodline. However, it did not expect to be trapped in it. Due to the ancient Bodhi tree¡¯s suppression, the Holy Beast Dragon bloodline did not destroy and assimilate its Blood Python bloodline. Instead, the two lived together in harmony in his body. It originally planned to use its Blood Python bloodline to swear that even if the heavenly dao deceived him, the dragon bloodline in his body would be destroyed. Although this would have a huge impact on its cultivation base, if it told this human the wrong way, it would be killed by the ancient Bodhi tree! At that time, the Bodhi seeds of the tree would all be his. Not only could it purify the bloodline of the Holy Beast Dragon, but he could also recover all of his lost cultivation. His bloodline that belonged to the Blood Python would also be completely removed. It was like killing three birds with one stone. It thought that its plan was flawless, but it did not expect that the human in front of him would see through its plan. This made him feel both shocked and terrified. What kind of terrifying expert could actually see through it? He no longer dared to take any chances with this human in front of him. From the bottom of its heart, it was afraid of this terrifying human in front of him. Since he did not expose it in person, it meant that it still had a chance. Obviously, it was going to give itself a chance to change. Thinking of this, it did not dare to make any more small moves.. Chapter 29 - Sign the Master-Servant Contract! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It flicked out his tongue as if it had made a difficult decision. It sighed deeply and looked at Su Yang with unwillingness in its eyes. It said in a deep voice, ¡°Powerful human, to gain your trust, I¡¯m willing to sign a hundred-year master-servant contract with you! ¡°After signing the contract, you¡¯ll be my master and I¡¯ll be your servant. If you die, I¡¯ll die. If I die, there will be no consequences. If that¡¯s the case, you can at least trust me!¡± The reason why the Blood Python made such a decision was because it had thought it through. Firstly, it could guarantee its own life. Secondly, Su Yang¡¯s strength had truly convinced him. Even if it was to acknowledge him as its master, it was not a shameful thing. Moreover, it was talking about signing the master-servant contract for a hundred years. A hundred years was only a blink of an eye for a living creature like him. Not only did it save its own life, but it would also gain a lot of benefits by following such a powerful master. comment When Su Yang heard the words of the Blood Python, he did not make a decision immediately. He rubbed his chin with his hand and began to think carefully. He had indeed seen the plot of signing a master-servant contract with a demonic beast in fantasy novels. Perhaps this was indeed a very feasible method. Moreover, this giant python was also very weak. No matter what tricks it played, it would not be able to harm him. With this in mind, Su Yang nodded and agreed. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, you can get ready!¡± Seeing that Su Yang finally agreed, the Blood Python finally heaved a sigh of relief. This human was really too difficult to deal with. Then, he began the ceremony of signing the contract. A golden-red magic array appeared under its body. All the blood that flowed out from its abdomen came into the magic array. Feeling that the time was right, the Blood Python looked at Su Yang and said, ¡°Master, please drop a drop of your blood into it.¡± Hearing this, Su Yang nodded, and then his finger lightly cut on the sword. A drop of blood dripped into the array. Inan instant, the entire array shook violently. A golden light rose from the sky. Su Yang subconsciously used his hand to block his eyes from such dazzling golden light. Very soon, the golden light that soared into the sky dissipated. ¡®When Su Yang opened his eyes again, the Blood Python¡¯s figure had disappeared underground. Everything here was seen by the Wind Demon Tiger and Fiery-tailed Fox from not far away. Although the two of them knew that the human was strong, they did not expect that the human was extremely strong. With just one sword strike, he had seriously injured the Blood Python which almost died on the spot. Seeing this scene, the two of them could not help but feel a lingering fear. The Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s body could not help but tremble. ¡°Brother Tiger, what¡¯s the strength of that ancient Blood Python? Wind Devil Tiger shook his head solemnly. ¡°Ican¡¯t see through the strength of that ancient Blood Python, but it¡¯s at least at the peak of the deity transformational stage. Otherwise, the suppression on the two of us wouldn¡¯t be so terrifying.¡± The Fiery-tailed Fox nodded solemnly. He did not have any doubts about the Wind Demon Tiger¡¯s guess. At this moment, both of them were extremely glad. Fortunately, they did not impulsively snatch the opportunity because of a moment of hotheadedness. Otherwise, the two of them would probably end up with nothing left. What shocked them the most was the blood sacrifice ceremony earlier. As demon beasts, the two of them knew very well what that ceremony meant. At this time, the Fiery-tailed Fox seemed to have also thought of the matter of snow charmer the first, so he asked, ¡°Brother Tiger, don¡¯t those demon beasts with noble bloodlines are very proud? Even if they die, they aren¡¯t willing to sign a master-servant contract with a human. He¡¯s a demon beast with the bloodline of a Holy Beast, and he¡¯s willing to sign a master-servant contract with a human?¡± This question was obviously something that the Wind Demon Tiger wanted to know as well. By right, demon beasts with noble bloodlines should usually be very arrogant. They did not even bother to associate with humans, not to mention become human¡¯s servant. After thinking about it, it still could not figure out the reason. ¡°Perhaps¡­ that human is powerful enough to crush his proud heart.¡± After the contract ceremony was completed, the Blood Python disappeared from its original spot. Su Yang, who had a dumbfounded expression, was still looking for it. Then, a voice came from beside his ear. ¡°Master, I¡¯m here.¡± ¡®When he heard the voice, he looked over and saw a cute little red snake lying on his shoulder. The scarlet color was very similar to that of the giant python. The sharp homs on its head had also become extremely round, and the three pairs of ferocious and terrifying scarlet wings had also become extremely small. The Blood Python now looked incomparably cute. Su Yang also did not expect that the master-servant contract would have such an effect. Looking at the cute snake lying on his shoulder, Su Yang smiled and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already acknowledged me as your master, I¡¯ll give you a name.¡± ¡°En¡­¡± Su Yang lowered his head and thought for a long time. He realized that something like a name did not seem to suit him very well. After thinking for a long time, he still could not think of a good name. He really could not think of a good name, so he said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯l call you Xiao Hong!¡± The Blood Python did not feel depressed because of such a complicated name. Instead, it wagged its tail happily. ¡°Thank you for the name, Master!¡± Su Yang stretched out his hand and let Xiao Hong lie on his palm. Xiao Hong also obediently lay on Su Yang¡¯s palm. At this moment, Su Yang realized that there was a small wound at the bottom of Xiao Hong¡¯s neck. It should have been caused by his sword. At this moment, Su Yang thought of the agarwood vital energy water that he had obtained from the system a few days ago. Su Yang had always carried it with him. After all, the system had told him that this water could cure all diseases. Although Su Yang had never used it before, the thing that the system gave him should be pretty good, right? Thinking of this, Su Yang reached into his arms. When he took his hand out again, a small gray bottle appeared in his hand. With one hand holding the agarwood vital energy water, he put it into his mouth. With his teeth, he twisted the lid off. In an instant, an extremely unpleasant smell entered Su Yang¡¯s nostrils. What he hated the most when he was young was the agarwood vital energy water. He dripped the agarwood vital energy water into Xiao Hong¡¯s mouth and said, ¡°Come, Xiao Hong, drink this and see if it can treat your injuries.¡± As a servant, it could only obey his master¡¯s words. Without any hesitation, Xiao Hong opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire agarwood vital energy water. It even swallowed the bottle. Seeing this scene, Su Yang hurriedly stopped him. ¡°Xiao Hong, you can¡¯t eat the bottle.¡± However, before Su Yang could finish his words, Xiao Hong had already eaten the entire bottle of agarwood vital energy water. ¡°Burp¡­¡± Xiao Hong burped and smiled. ¡°Master, Xiao Hong¡¯s digestive ability is very strong. The bottle can be digested in an instant.¡± However, just as Xiao Hong finished speaking, it felt that its body was churning violently.. Chapter 30 - The Heavenly Dao Seal! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Extremely huge and pure energy crazily surged into its body. The wound on its abdomen was also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The energy that entered Xiao Hong¡¯s body was huge. With its current state, it was impossible for him to withstand that terrifying energy. Xiao Hong curled up its body, trying to suppress this restless energy. However, even with its deity transformation stage strength, he was still unable to suppress it. That terrifying energy seemed to be able to destroy its body at any time. With the bloodline of the Holy Beast Dragon, its physical strength was not ordinary at all. Even those powerful demon beasts known for their physical bodies might not be as strong as its physical body. However, at this moment, that terrifying energy almost exploded its physical body. Fortunately, that violent energy gradually calmed down. Then, it quickly gathered at his demon core. It was absorbed by the core and turned into demon qi. However, this energy did not calm down for long. It once again spread out from its demon core. As the spirit qi spread out, a cultivation shackle sealed by the ancient Bodhi tree in his body was instantly broken through. This shackle was the one that restricted its breakthrough to the return to void stage. At this moment, this shackle was finally broken through by that powerful force. In other words, its current strength had already recovered to return to void stage. This discovery made Xiao Hong both surprised and happy. Even if it absorbed the Bodhi seed, in his plan, it would still take half a year for it to recover to return to void stage strength. However, it did not expect that it had only drunk a bottle of Su Yang¡¯s potion and that it had broken through the sealing shackles imposed by the ancient Bodhi tree? It knew that Su Yang must be very strong, even stronger than when it was at his peak, although it did not expect him to be as such. At this time, Su Yang interrupted Xiao Hong¡¯s thoughts and said, ¡°You said that you have a way to let me get the Bodhi seed on the ancient Bodhi tree. What is it?¡± Xiao Hong did not hesitate at all. After all, Su Yang was now his master. If Su Yang became stronger, it would become stronger as well. ¡°The ancient Bodhi tree is born from heaven and earth. Where the tree is located, there¡¯s the protection of the power of the heavenly dao. Only when the power of the heavenly dao is removed by itself on that day, can the cultivator gather the bodhi seed by himself. ¡°However, I¡¯ve been suppressed by the ancient Bodhi tree for a hundred years. During these 100 years, I have long studied the loopholes of the tree. ¡°The ancient Bodhi tree has a main vein and 49 branches. As long as Master finds that main vein and breaks the heavenly dao symbols on it, the heavenly dao power will naturally be dissolved. At that time, the nine Bodhi seeds on the ancient Bodhi tree will all be in Master¡¯s possession.¡± Hearing this, Su Yang nodded. He did not expect that obtaining the bodhi seed would be so easy. However, what he did not know was that Xiao Hong did not tell him everything. It was not easy to cut off that heavenly dao symbol. Even an expert of the return to void stage could not do anything with a full-strength attack. However, it knew that Su Yang¡¯s strength far surpassed that of the return to void stage. He had even reached the legendary dao fusing stage, which was the peak of the Mahayana. Therefore, it felt that it was insulting Su Yang by saying this, so it did not tell him. According to what Xiao Hong said, Su Yang walked to the bottom of the ancient Bodhi tree. Bit by bit, he searched for the main vein and the 49 branches that Xiao Hong mentioned. The 49 branches were very easy to find, but Su Yang could not find the main vein after searching for a long time. At this time, Xiao Hong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, ¡°Right, Master, I remember that the main vein should be below the 49 branches. The heavenly dao symbols on the main vein should be below one of the branches. Master, you can give it a try.¡± Hearing Xiao Hong¡¯s words, Su Yang could not help but roll his eyes at him. ¡®Why didn¡¯t you say this earlier? I wasted half a day for nothing.¡± Actually, Su Yang had wronged Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong thought that with Su Yang¡¯s terrifying strength, nothing in this world could escape his perception. It seemed that he had underestimated the ancient Bodhi tree¡¯s strength. Even with its master¡¯s strength, it still could not see through the tree. At this moment, Su Yang was circling the 49 branches. He did not know which branch was where the heavenly dao symbols were located. He could only rely on luck and intuition to guess. Thinking of this, Su Yang stopped in his tracks. At the same time, there was a branch right in front of him. ¡°This is it.¡± Su Yang did not plan to go around anymore. At most, he would cut the branch off one by one. In the next second, Su Yang brandished his long sword. He raised his sword and swung it down. The speed was so fast that even Xiao Hong could not help but sigh. Su Yang slashed out with his sword. The entire tree trembled. The violent shaking caused the land in this dense forest to tremble as well. The branch was opened. Suddenly, a blade of golden light shone through the crack in the branch. Xiao Hong¡¯s eyes trembled when he saw the Golden Light. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Master to find the heavenly dao symbols so quickly. It seems that Master has really reached the legendary dao fusing stage.¡± It secretly admired Su Yang. If Su Yang was really in the dao fusing stage, then the hundred years it spent by his side would definitely benefit it for the rest of its life. Right now, it was still a little regretful. Why did it only choose the hundred-year contract? Su Yang also did not expect that he would find the heavenly dao symbols with just a random slash. Looking at the symbols in front of him, Su Yang was not only in a difficult position. Logically speaking, the heavenly dao must be very strong, right? With his qi refinement stage cultivation and a broken sword made of ordinary iron, could he break the heavenly dao symbols? Seeing that its master was unwilling to make a move, Xiao Hong could not help but urge him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Master. The heavenly dao symbols can¡¯t withstand a single blow from you.¡± Hearing Xiao Hong¡¯s words, Su Yang could not help but be secretly shocked. Could it be that this so-called heavenly dao symbol was as weak as you? If Xiao Hong heard these words, it would be so angry that it would tum red. If it was weak, then who could it be compared to? Since things had already reached this stage, Su Yang naturally had no reason to retreat. He held the hilt with both hands. Su Yang raised the sword high. Then, he swung the sword down. Then, it collided with the heavenly dao symbol. Rumble! The world was shaking. The huge shock wave spread rapidly with the ancient Bodhi tree at the center. All the trees within hundreds of miles were destroyed. The Wind Devil Tiger and Fierce-tailed Fox, who had been observing in the dark not far away, were also affected by the shock wave. The two of them were instantly sent hundreds of meters away and slid on the ground for another ten meters. Only then did the two of them stabilize their bodies. Urgh! The Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox spat out a mouthful of blood. Lying on the ground, their bodies were extremely weak.. Chapter 31 - This Thing Was Indeed Useless to Its Master Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox struggled to get up from the ground. The shock wave earlier had almost shattered their demon cores. If they were an inch closer to the ancient Bodhi tree, their lives would probably be in danger. Now when the Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox recalled the terrifying shock wave earlier, they still had lingering fear in their hearts. The Fierce-tailed Fox tuned around with great difficulty to look at the Wind Demon Tiger and said weakly, ¡°Brother Tiger, do you think that senior has discovered the two of us?¡± Hearing this, the Wind Demon Tiger¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. ¡°It¡¯s very likely? I reckon that senior doesn¡¯t want the two of us to come into contact with that level of supreme treasure. That shock wave just now is probably a punishment for the two of us.¡± In front of the ancient Bodhi tree. Su Yang easily broke the heavenly dao symbol with his sword. This scene also shocked Xiao Hong. At this moment, it was more and more sure that Su Yang had reached the dao fusing stage. Otherwise, how could he easily break the symbol with his sword? One had to know that the heavenly dao symbol was created by the heavenly dao to protect the treasures in this world. It contained the terrifying power of the heavenly dao. It was obviously extremely difficult for a mortal to break it. Xiao Hong quietly lay on Su Yang¡¯s shoulder. It raised its head and looked at the nine golden Bodhi seeds that had formed on the tree. Its eyes were filled with greed. It had been thinking about the Bodhi seeds on the tree for a hundred years. Now, it could not take it as his own. Although it was a bit disappointed by the psychological difference of jumping off a cliff, at this moment, it had no more thoughts about the Bodhi seed because there was a better treasure by his side. Cultivating by the side of a half-immortal. This small Bodhi seed naturally did not worth much anymore. Even a master of the Mahayana stage was negligible. Cultivating beside a master of the dao fusing stage would double the effort. It might not be effective in a short time but in the long run, it was definitely something that could be encountered but not sought. At this moment, Su Yang also raised his head and looked at the sparkling golden Bodhi seeds. He really did not know what use this thing had. However, looking at the sparkling golden light, it seemed to be very precious. Su Yang rubbed his chin and patted Xiao Hong¡¯s head. He asked, ¡°Other than looking good, what other use do those so-called Bodhi seeds on the tree have?¡± Xiao Hong was indeed stunned by Su Yang¡¯s question. ¡°Yes! In the hands of a half-immortal powerhouse, the Bodhi seeds don¡¯t seem to have any other use except for collecting them! Wash away the lead and improve one¡¯s talent? Comprehend the heavenly dao? Comprehend the truth? The Bodhi seeds don¡¯t seem to be of any use to Master! Sigh!¡± Xiao Hong sighed in his heart. For this Bodhi seed, it had almost sacrificed a thousand years of his cultivation. Xiao Hong¡¯s two vertical pupils were rolling around in his huge eyes. It felt that this was a good time to suck up to its master, so it immediately said, ¡°Master, you¡¯re right! This thing is really useless to you except for collecting it.¡± Su Yang originally had some hope, but when he heard Xiao Hong¡¯s words, he immediately lost all hope. ¡°As expected, this thing is useless to me,¡¯ he thought to himself. ¡®But this is a good choice to bring back to the tavern with a golden luster as a decoration.¡¯ Thinking of this, the corners of Su Yang¡¯s mouth rose slightly. Su Yang jumped onto the tree trunk, and plucked all nine golden Bodhi seeds. He then placed them into the wicker basket on his back. After completing the task, Su Yang clapped his hands in satisfaction. He had originally planned to farm a wave of wild monsters here today. However, he did not expect such an unexpected situation to occur. ¡®It seems that there¡¯s no hope of farming monsters.¡¯ Su Yang sighed in his heart and said, fd better return to the tavern to take a look first. I don¡¯t know if that Mengli will be able to handle it by herself! With this thought in mind, Su Yang took the little red snake and left this place, returning to Qingyang Town. At the same time, the experts of the various worlds of the nine regions were already on their way. The closest to this place was still the elder of the Soul Hunting Sect. As soon as the heaven and earth phenomenon was born, he immediately rushed over with the upper echelons of the Soul Hunting Sect. In the sky of the primeval forest. Twelve immortal cultivators on flying swords headed straight for the place where the phenomenon was born. These people were from the Soul Hunting Sect, and the leader was none other than leader Youhun. Riding alongside Youhun was the sect master of the Soul Hunting Sect, Lin Yan. They had already arrived at the primeval forest. As the sect master of the Soul Hunting Sect, Lin Yan still did not know why they had come here. Seeing that they had arrived at their destination, Lin Yan looked at Youhun and asked, ¡°Elder, why are you rushing here so urgently?¡± Youhun was dressed in a long green-gray robe and had a pair of hawk-like eyes, which made his old face look breathtaking despite his great age. He had a head of white hair, but he had a hateful face. It made him look like a crafty and mean old man. He did not even look at Lin Yan. With his hands behind his back, he said, ¡°Did you see that heaven and earth phenomenon?¡± Lin Yan nodded in a daze. It was impossible not to see such a grand heaven and earth phenomenon. ¡°Then, do you know what that the heaven and earth phenomenon represents?¡± Youhun asked again. ¡°Such a heaven and earth phenomenon should represent the birth of a supreme treasure!¡± Lin Yan was not sure, so he could only guess. Hearing that, Youhun nodded slightly. ¡°The supreme treasure that happened today isn¡¯t just any ordinary treasure. It has existed in this world for more than 10,000 years. It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that it has the same lifespan as heaven and earth!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Hearing Youhun¡¯s words, Lin Yan could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. A supreme treasure that had the same lifespan as heaven and earth? Not to mention seeing it, he had not even heard of it. Ifa true treasure lived as long as heaven and earth was born, then one could imagine how precious it was. ¡°No wonder elder is so anxious.¡¯ Lin Yan sighed in his heart. Youhun did not want to delay any longer. He also knew that the birth of this true treasure would attract the covetous eyes of all the great beings in nine regions. As the host, he naturally had the advantage of distance. No matter what, he had to be the first to arrive there. Youhun sped up along with the experts behind him. Rustle rustle rustle¡­ A group of 12 people quickly descended from the sky to the ground. Youhun, who was full of anticipation, saw that there was no one here. The huge rock in his heart finally fell to the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. ¡°Ancient Bodhi tree, I¡¯m here..¡± Chapter 32 - The Grateful Su Mengli! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Qingyang Town. In Su Yang¡¯s tavern. Having obtained the Bodhi seed, Su Yang brought Xiao Hong back to the tavern. Without a doubt, Xiao Hong was deeply shocked by the aura in the tavern. However, he was already used to it. It would be strange if its master¡¯s abode did not have such an environment. Su Mengli was busy all by herself. She did not know why there were so many people today. Ever since Su Yang brewed the Hundred Flowers Wine, there were more female customers in the tavern. Su Mengli was also very curious about the wine¡¯s taste which could attract so many female customers go crazy over it. However, she did not dare to drink it! comment she knew that everything senior Su Yang brewed was priceless. With her current status, she simply could not afford to drink it. After serving the last table of customers with wine and food, Su Mengli wiped the sweat from her forehead. Just as she was about to rest, he saw a man walking toward her. She immediately stood up and greeted respectfully, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re back!¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Su Yang nodded and said with a smile, ¡°there are many customers today. You must be very busy!¡± Hearing that Su Yang was so concerned about her, Su Mengli was very excited. She kept shaking her head and quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m not tired.¡± ¡°Haha, good. Follow me to the backyard. I¡¯ll give you a good thing,¡± Su Yang patted Su Mengli¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile. Hearing this, Su Mengli was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that senior Su Yang would get her a gift. Hearing this, her heart was filled with incomparable anticipation. One had to know that random food in this small tavern was on the same level as a natural treasure. How could it be an ordinary thing now that Su Yang had said that it was good? With a smile on her face, Su Mengli hopped behind Su Yang and walked toward the backyard. They arrived at the stone table. Su Yang placed the basket on his back on the table. He put his hand in and took out a golden Bodhi seed. He gave it to Su Mengli and said, ¡°Here, I got this by accident in the dense forest on the west side of the city¡­ It¡¯s a Bodhi seed and it¡¯s useless to me. So, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± ¡®When she heard the words ¡°Bodhi seed¡±, Su Mengli was instantly petrified. Her eyes widened and her mouth was agape. This state of shock lasted for a few seconds. ¡°Mengli, Mengli.¡± Looking at Su Mengli who was still standing on the spot, Su Yang waved his hand in front of her eyes. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Hearing Su Yang¡¯s voice, Su Mengli came back to her senses. ¡°Boss¡­ Boss¡­ Is this Bodhi seed really for me?¡± Su Mengli asked in disbelief. Looking at Su Mengli¡¯s silly look, Su Yang immediately laughed and said, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s for you.¡± Then, he stretched out his hand. Su Mengli then took the Bodhi seed that Su Yang handed over. Once it entered her hand, an ice-cold feeling touched her skin. She could feel that this Bodhi seed contained an incomparably mysterious power. What did the existence of the Bodhi seed mean? As an immortal cultivator, there was probably nothing she did not know. Su Mengli remembered that she had seen it in the family tree when she was young, Her great-grandfather was once lucky enough to obtain a Bodhi seed. It was because his great-grandfather obtained the seed that they had this enormous family. Relying on the power of the Bodhi seed, her great-grandfather had broken through from the peak of the deity transformation stage to the third level of the return to void stage in a single night. From then on, they had grown into today¡¯s family clan. Now, a genuine Bodhi seed was in her palm. Su Mengli simply could not believe that this was real so she pinched her own arm. ¡°Ouch, it hurts.¡± Feeling the pain, Su Mengli¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. This was not a dream. Su Yang¡¯s eyes, he thought that this girl was sick. ¡°Mengli, are you okay? Why are you pinching yourself?¡± Su Yang asked with a smile. Hearing this, Su Mengli hurriedly shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just feel like I haven¡¯t woken up yet!¡± Su Mengli was in a daze and didn¡¯t know what she was saying. Hearing this, Su Yang thought that Su Mengli was exhausted and said with concern, ¡°You¡¯ve been busy all afternoon. Go to your room and rest. I¡¯ll take care of the guests.¡± Su Mengli wanted to refuse. How could she let senior Su Yang do the work alone? After thinking carefully, she subconsciously touched her own head. ¡°How could I be so stupid? Senior meant to let me comprehend the power of the Bodhi seed. I almost let Senior down.¡¯ Thinking to herself, Su Mengli looked at Su Yang with gratitude in her eyes. She would never have thought that she would act shamelessly and follow Su Yang to this small tavern. Not only did the senior not despise her, but he also gave her such a precious treasure. ¡°Thank you, Boss!¡± Su Mengli bowed deeply to Su Yang, Then, she tumed around and walked into her room. She did not say much to flatter him because she knew that Su Yang did not want to listen to these things. On the way back, as Su Mengli walked, her expression became more determined. ¡°Senior Su Yang, I, Su Mengli, swear that as long as I take revenge for the blood feud of my family, if I can still come back alive at that time, I¡¯ll be by your side for the rest of my life.¡± Su Yang looked at Su Mengli¡¯s departing back and shook his head with a smile. How would he know that it was only because he gave her a Bodhi seed that this little girl wanted to take care of him for the rest of his life? Mimi felt Su Yang¡¯s aura. It immediately walked out of its nest. It came to Su Yang¡¯s feet and rubbed against his thigh intimately. Su Yang felt his thigh was itchy. He lowered his head and found that it was Mimi who was rubbing against his thigh. Looking at such a cute Mimi, Su Yang smiled and squatted to pick her up. Ever since Su Mengli and Mimi joined his tavem, it had become more lively. He was gradually used to the existence of these two fellows. Now that Xiao Hong had joined, his tavern was even livelier. He raised Mimi in front of his eyes and summoned Xiao Hong at the same time. With the addition of a new member, he naturally had to introduce it to Mimi. At this time, Xiao Hong was lazily lying on Su Yang¡¯s shoulder. After drinking Su Yang¡¯s agarwood vital energy water, he had not completely digested the drink. He could only gradually digest it in its sleep. Feeling Su Yang¡¯s call, Xiao Hong opened his eyes. When it saw the beast in Su Yang¡¯s hand, its vertical pupils instantly became alert. Its body tensed up and it flicked its tongue. It was ready to fight at any time. Chapter 33 - The Experts From All Over the World Arrived One After Another! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mimi had obviously also discovered Xiao Hong¡¯s existence. Two top-tier demon beasts of the same holy beast bloodline. They recognized each other¡¯s identities at a glance. When Mimi saw Xiao Hong, it fiercely revealed its fangs. It also revealed its claws, moving toward Xiao Hong. ¡°Meow¡­¡± Mimi let out a long cry. This was a provocation to Xiao Hong. ¡°Hiss hiss hiss¡­¡± Xiao Hong naturally did not want to be outdone so it fiercely retorted back. Su Yang glanced at Mimi and then at Xiao Hong. The two little fellows who thought that they could coexist peacefully started to fight the moment they met. As the masters of the two of them, Su Yang naturally had to take on the role of peacemaker. comment He said, ¡°In the future, the two of you will be a family. You must live together peacefully. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be kicked out of the house!¡± Su Yang first looked at Mimi and said, ¡°Its name is Xiao Hong, You¡¯re not allowed to bully him in the future.¡± Then, he looked at Xiao Hong and said, ¡°Its name is Mimi. In the future, the two of you will be a family.¡± Hearing Su Yang¡¯s words, Xiao Hong and Mimi were instantly terrified. They no longer dared to be in attacking mode at any time. The two fellows acted cutely and rubbed against Su Yang¡¯s body. When their eyes met each other¡¯s, they still revealed hostility against each other. It was just that they did it very secretly and did not get discovered by Su Yang. The reason why Mimi and Xiao Hong were like enemies the moment they met was because the enmity between their two clans had lasted for thousands of years. After all, they both had the bloodline of a holy beast, and both sides looked down on each other. To prove the strength of their bloodline, as long as the Yin-yang Demon Eye Tiger that had awakened the Holy Beast White Tiger bloodline and the Blood Python that had awakened the Holy Beast Dragon bloodline came into contact. At that time, an unavoidable and shocking battle would inevitably occur. Now with Su Yang in the middle, the two of them naturally did not dare to act rashly. Su Yang put them both on the ground. Then, he went to the front hall to entertain the guests. Su Yang had just left when Xiao Hong and Mimi¡¯s faces instantly changed. The two little fellows stared at each other with ferocious expressions. ¡°Hiss hiss hiss¡­¡± Xiao Hong kept provoking the other party with its tongue sticking out. Mimi kept circling Xiao Hong. The two of them were ready to attack at any time. However, in the next second, Mimi suddenly stretched out its claws and attacked Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong¡¯s reaction speed was also extremely fast. It quickly dodged Mimi¡¯s attack. Finally, it leaped with force and its body shot out like a cannonball. It opened its large mouth and bit Mimi. However, at this moment, Su Yang returned. The two small demon beasts clearly felt Su Yang¡¯s aura. Xiao Hong, who was flying in mid-air, forcefully changed its posture. Mimi, who originally intended to attack with one hand, also changed its posture. Its two forelimbs left the ground and stood up, making a hugging posture. Xiao Hong was also very cooperative and directly threw itself into Mimi¡¯s embrace. ¡®Mimi hugged Xiao Hong and ran on the ground with its two hind limbs. The scene was so cute that it was unbearable to look at. Su Yang saw that the two of them were getting along so well, and the corners of his mouth also revealed a smile. He picked up the two jars of Hundred Flowers Wine and left the backyard once again. After Su Yang, Mimi and Xiao Hong started to fight again. Mimi waved its paws and said fiercely, ¡°Humph, Master is mine. I advise you, little snake, not to overestimate yourself and fight with me for Master.¡± Facing Mimi¡¯s threat, Xiao Hong naturally was not one to lose either. It raised its chin arrogantly and said coldly without even looking at Mimi, ¡°It¡¯s just a wild cat. How dare you fight with me?!¡± The two fellows stared at each other. Two rays seemed to shoot out of their eyes. It was hard to tell who was better. ¡®West of the city. In the dense forest. Youhun was sitting in front of the ancient Bodhi tree in a daze. ¡°Who is it? Who is it? How dare you steal my opportunity?¡± Youhun roared into the sky. With his majestic spirit energy, his roar was extremely destructive. The higher-ups of the Soul Hunting Sect behind him could not help but cover their ears. Their faces were filled with malevolence. After a long while, the leader finally calmed down. His cold eyes were fixed on the ancient tree in front of him. ¡°Lin Yan, immediately send someone to investigate who was here before we arrived.¡± Youhun¡¯s cold voice resounded in Lin Yan¡¯s mind. Lin Yan trembled in fear when he saw the furious leader. He knew Youhun¡¯s personality very well. He was ruthless and unscrupulous. He would do anything to achieve his goal. Even if the people of the Soul Hunting Sect had offended him, they would only end up beheaded. Lin Yan did not dare to hesitate at all when he heard Youhun¡¯s order. He led the others in four directions and began to search. As for Youhun, he sat under the ancient Bodhi tree to meditate. Although he did not have the Bodhi seed, it was still a great opportunity for him to meditate under the tree. He had been stuck at the third level of the deity transformation stage for three years. He also knew that with his talent, without great opportunities, he would not be able to reach the peak of his current stage in his lifetime. While he was cultivating, the experts from other worlds also rushed over. Inan instant, a large number of human immortal cultivators floated above the ancient Bodhi tree. These people were all top-notch experts from other sects. Youhun opened his eyes and looked at the people flying on swords in the sky. His eyes were full of solemnity. ¡°D*mm it, how come these guys came so fast?!¡± Youhun cursed. He looked at the experts in the sky and muttered to himself, ¡°Nameless World, Jade Lady Sect, Wu Yudie, Demon World, Rakshasa Demon Sect, Wu Tian and Myriad World, The Supreme Dao Sect, Daoist Zhenyang. Hehe, looks like these top powerhouses all want a piece of the pie.¡± Daoist Zhenyang from the Myriad World¡¯s Supreme Dao Sect was the first to arrive on the ground. When he saw Youhun on the ground, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°Leader of Soul Hunting Sect, looks like you came quite early,¡± Daoist Zhenyang said with a faint smile. As his voice fell, the experts from the other factions also descended. Nine Suns World, Nine Suns Heavenly Gate, Demon World, Rakshasa Demon Sect, Nine Serenity World, Li Jiuyang, the leader of the Elf Clan, and Desolate World, the Ancient Barbarian Clan. These were all famous top experts. Usually, it was extremely rare to see one. Now, they were gathered together. If the other factions saw this scene, they would probably wonder what kind of doomsday was coming? Chapter 34 - The Overbearing Wu Tian and the Hypocritical Daoist! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Eight top experts were preparing to fight here. Anyone who could reach this level of cultivation was a human genius. However, they were all waiting for the others to take the lead. Youhun looked at the slightly scrutinizing gazes of the others when they looked at him. He knew that they must have thought that he had stolen the Bodhi seed. Youhun stood up, cupped his hands toward the others, and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to look at me like that. The Bodhi seed was already gone when I arrived. I¡¯ve already sent people to investigate.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡±A cold snort sounded. It was Daoist Zhenyang, who had landed first. He looked at Youhun with disdain and asked, ¡°Youhun, you used to be someone who roamed the outside world. Do you think that your little trick can fool us?¡± comment Wu Tian, the leader of the Rakshasa Demon Sect, also stood out. He crossed his arms over his chest and stared coldly at Youhun. A cold and heavy voice was heard. ¡°Hand over the Bodhi seed and I¡¯ll spare your life. Otherwise, your sect will be exterminated!¡± Wu Tian¡¯s voice was filled with endless coldness as if he could exterminate the other party at any time. Seeing that the two big shots had spoken, the others did not speak anymore. They stood out one after another, clamoring for Youhun to hand over the Bodhi seed. Only one person stood there silently, not making a sound. Instead, she looked up and down at the remaining aura. This person was none other than the Jade Lady Sect¡¯s leader, Wu Yudie. She could tell at a glance that Youhun was not lying. Since he wasn¡¯t lying, it meant that the Bodhi seeds had been taken away by someone else. However, other than sensing two extremely terrifying auras, she could not find any other clues. Faced with everyone¡¯s questioning, Youhun was speechless. However, he could only try his best to explain that the seeds were really not with him. Otherwise, he would not be able to walk out of this forest today. ¡°If I took the Bodhi seed, why would I wait for you guys to come looking for me?¡± ¡°Whether you took it or not, we¡¯ll know after we search your body,¡± Wu Tian said coldly. The next second, he jumped up and formed a claw with his palm. Wu Tian circulated his spirit energy, and two balls of black spirit energy gathered in his palm. ¡°Black Demon Claw!¡± Wu Tian shouted and swung at Youhun. Wu Tian¡¯s speed was too fast. Even Youhun could not dodge it. Youhun could only circulate his spirit energy to withstand this attack. Boom! However, Wu Tian¡¯s strength was far from Youhun¡¯s. With just one attack, Youhun was left with no room to resist. Wu Tian looked down at Youhun from above as if he was the King of Hell. He said coldly, ¡°Tl give you another chance. If you don¡¯t hand over the Bodhi seed, then the next attack will be greater.¡± Youhun looked at Wu Tian coldly. A seed of hatred had been quietly planted. Seeing that Youhun remain indifferent, Wu Tian once again circulated his spirit energy, wanting to kill him on the spot. At this moment, Wu Yudie suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s true that the Bodhi seed isn¡¯t with him. Someone beat him to it.¡± Hearing this voice, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Wu Yudie. ¡®Wu Yudie was wearing a pink dress. Her two jade-like hands were elegantly placed on her lower abdomen. From top to bottom, she exuded a noble and elegant aura. Her red lips, narrow eyelashes, and cold and arrogant face complemented her overall appearance. It was as if a peerless ice fairy had appeared in the forest. ¡®When everyone saw that it was Wu Yudie who spoke, they kept quiet. At this time, the leader of the Inferno Demon Sect, Jiu You, smiled and said, ¡°So, it¡¯s fairy Wu Yudie. Since she said that the Bodhi seed isn¡¯t with him, then it definitely isn¡¯t with him.¡± After saying this, Jiu You did not forget to blink his eyes at Wu Yudie. The matter of Wu Yudie and Jiu You had long spread throughout the entire nine regions. He had been pursuing Wu Yudie for three years. During these three years, although he had been miserably rejected countless times, it was as if he had been drunk in love with Wu Yudie. No matter how many hardships he had suffered, he still pursued her regardless of the wind or rain. It was obvious that Wu Yudie had long been accustomed to Jiu You¡¯s appearance. Her cold and aloof face turned away, not even looking at him. She stood elegantly and did not say a word. ¡®When Youhun saw that someone was finally speaking up for him, he heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly went forward to express his gratitude. ¡°Thank you, Wu Yudie, for helping me out. I truly don¡¯t know where the Bodhi seeds have gone to.¡± With Wu Yudie¡¯s testimony, as well as Youhun¡¯s explanation. Only then did everyone believe that the Bodhi seeds were not with him. Although these experts appeared extremely calm on the surface when faced with the temptation of the Bodhi seeds, at this moment, they were incomparably anxious in their hearts. If the Bodhi seeds were to fall into the hands of others just like that, they were unwilling to let go. After all, they would not be able to encounter such an opportunity again in their lifetime. In the Supreme Dao Sect, Daoist Jiuyang faced Wu Yudie and bowed slightly. ¡°I wonder how Yudie was able to see through it?¡± ¡®Wu Yudie¡¯s expression froze. After thinking for a moment, she said, ¡°There¡¯s an extremely bloody aura here. It¡¯s obvious that there was a battle here before. It¡¯s likely that the person came here and fought with the guardian beast before obtaining the Bodhi seeds.¡± After hearing Wu Yudie¡¯s words, the group of elders lowered their heads and began to ponder. Some of them secretly began to investigate in the dark. They wanted to see if they could find out the identity of this person from the traces of his aura. Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Yan from the Soul Hunting Sect brought everyone back here. At the same time, he was holding two demon beasts in his hands. They were the Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox. ¡®When Lin Yan saw the experts gathered here, he was stunned. He immediately guessed that they must have come from the outside world. At this moment, he was extremely regretful that he returned. After all, he had very important information in his hands. As he was under the watchful eyes of everyone here, it was impossible for him to turn around and leave. He could only brace himself and walk over. He walked straight to Youhun¡¯s side and threw the Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox on the ground. After which, he leaned over and whispered into Youhun¡¯s ear. ¡°Leader, these two demon beasts are the rulers of this forest.¡± Upon hearing Lin Yan¡¯s words, Youhun¡¯s eyes were stunned. The ruler of this forest, the Wind Demon Tiger, was clearly at the same cultivation level as him. How could he be captured alive by Lin Yan, a nascent soul stage cultivator? At this moment, Wu Tian looked at the two sneaky people and his anger instantly ignited. He teleported and disappeared on the spot. Then, he appeared before Lin Yan, grabbed his throat with one hand, and lifted him. He stared at him with a cold and ruthless gaze as he questioned, ¡°Speak, what exactly did you discover?¡± Youhun looked at his own junior being humiliated by the outsiders. He was just about to flare up on the spot and stop Wu Tian.. Chapter 35 - The Cunning Fox Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Before Youhun could do anything, he was stopped by an uninvited guest. Daoist Zhenyang pointed his sword in front of Youhun. With a smile on his face, he said indifferently, ¡°Youhun, shouldn¡¯t you tell us what you know?¡± Youhun looked at this hypocritical man in front of him. His eyes were full of disdain. This so-called Supreme Dao Sect was seen as a noble and righteous sect. However, it was cooperating with the Inferno Demon Sect. Although Wu Tian was detestable, he did not conceal his actions at all. Daoist Zhenyang had always been standing at the highest point, restraining him. Youhun was very disgusted with such a person. However, there was nothing he could do. At this moment, Lin Yan was holding Wu Tian¡¯s arm with both hands with a pained expression. The intense suffocation made his mind go blank. Other than his body¡¯s subconscious instinct, he could not do anything else. At this time, Daoist Zhenyang hurriedly persuaded him, ¡°Wu Tian, if you continue, this person will be killed by you. At that time, we really won¡¯t be able to get any information about the Bodhi seed.¡± Hearing Daoist Zhenyang¡¯s words, Wu Tian coldly glanced at him and snorted. ¡°Humph, do I still need Daoist Zhenyang to tell me how I do things?¡± In the face of Wu Tian¡¯s questioning, Daoist Zhenyang still had a smile on his face. He shook his head with a smile and said, ¡°Hehe, I naturally won¡¯t teach others how to do things. It¡¯s just that this matter concerns the interests of everyone. If it¡¯s because of your willful behavior that results in the loss of everyone¡¯s interests. Then, hehe¡­¡± Daoist Zhenyang did not finish his sentence. ¡°Hmph!¡± Wu Tian snorted coldly. Then, he threw Lin Yan to the ground. ¡°Cough cough cough¡­¡± Lin Yan fell to the ground. He covered his neck with both hands and coughed violently. At this moment, he finally felt what it was like to have survived a disaster. Before he could take a break, Wu Tian¡¯s cold voice sounded once again. ¡°Tell me everything you know. Otherwise, you¡¯ll meet your death in the next second.¡± Lin Yan, who was slumped on the ground, looked at the cold-faced Wu Tian. His body suddenly shivered. At this moment, he did not dare to hide anything. After coughing twice, he pointed at the Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox on the ground and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about the Bodhi seed either, but they are the rulers of this forest. I believe that the two of them must know something about the ancient Bodhi tree and who took the Bodhi seeds from it Hearing Lin Yan¡¯s words, everyone turned their eyes to the Wind Demon Tiger and the Fierce-tailed Fox. The Wind Demon Tiger¡¯s proud eyes stared at everyone. If it had not been severely injured by Su Yang¡¯s powerful technique, how could it be so pathetically looked at by a group of humans at this moment? However, its rationality told it that it could only compromise with the group of people in front of him. Without waiting for the crowd to ask questions, it opened its mouth and said, ¡°I did indeed see who took the Bodhi seeds here.¡± As soon as it said this, everyone present finally saw hope and looked at the Wind Demon Tiger with joy on their faces. ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you tell me quickly¡­¡± Wu Tian said coldly. The Wind Demon Tiger looked at Wu Tian with eyes full of humiliation. When had it ever suffered such humiliation? It was the overlord of the primeval forest, and it had always been the one who bullied others. Now, it was being humiliated like this? It knew that if it did not say anything, it would really die. ¡°Before you came, there was indeed a person who came and snatched the Bodhi seeds. But I don¡¯t know who that person is. I only know that he¡¯s very strong, so strong that¡­¡± Before the Wind Demon Tiger could finish his words, Fiery-tailed Fox suddenly spoke, ¡°I know, I know where that human came from.¡± Hearing Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s words, everyone turned their gazes to it. In an instant, Fiery-tailed Fox felt an incomparably huge pressure surging toward it. It swallowed its saliva and forced down the fear in its heart. It continued, ¡°That human should be from a place called Qingyang Town not far from the east. I remember clearly that he used all his strength to defeat the guardian beast which was at the first level of the deity transformational stage. Then, he took away the Bodhi seeds.¡± ¡®The Wind Demon Tiger was shocked when he heard the Fiery-tailed Fox¡¯s words. Soon, it knew what lie the Fiery-tailed Fox was thinking and did not say anything. It just nodded to show its affirmation. However, how could the humans believe it just because of its one-sided words? Daoist Zhenyang was the first to question. ¡°You said that that person defeated the guardian beast which was at the first level of the deity transformation stage by force, which means that he was at least at the third level of the deity transformation stage. How could that human be a match for you two? How did you two get injured? I advise you not to play tricks with us, or else¡­¡± The Fiery-tailed Fox was not afraid at all because it had already thought of an excuse. It said calmly, ¡°When the ancient Bodhi tree first appeared, the two of us were nearby. We wanted to take it for ourselves. If we waited for too long, we¡¯d definitely be coveted by others. ¡°However, we didn¡¯t know that the tree had a restriction. The two of us were severely injured by that restriction. Otherwise, why would we hand over such a treasure to someone else?¡± Hearing these words, everyone present did not express any doubt. ¡°Ignorant. The ancient Bodhi tree is a treasure of heaven and earth. It will definitely have the support of the power of the heavenly dao. The two of you are already lucky to not be killed by the heavenly dao.¡± Daoist Zhenyang did not forget to mock the two of them at this moment. After hearing the explanation by the demon beasts, everyone present started to fight among themselves. They did not want to miss out on a treasure like the Bodhi seed. All of them started to think quickly. They were thinking about how to snatch a big piece of fat meat in such a situation. Just as everyone was thinking about how to find that human and snatch back the Bodhi seeds, how could they guarantee that they would get a piece of it? Wu Yudie did not consider this The cultivation technique that she cultivated was extremely special and high-level. After all, she came from the outside world, so the cultivation technique that she cultivated was naturally not something that they could compare to. The cultivation technique that she cultivated allowed her to be extremely sensitive to spirit energy.. Chapter 36 - Wu Yudie鈥檚 Thoughts! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although the remaining spirit gi here was about to disappear, with Wu Yudie¡¯s skills, she was keenly aware that this spirit gi was extremely terrifying. It was even higher than the peak of the deity transformation stage. ¡®Wu Yudie was very confident in her sensitivity to spirit qi. If she was right, then what the Fierce-tailed Fox said was a lie. Thinking of this, Wu Yudie looked thoughtfully at the two beasts that fell to the ground. Her pure and flawless eyes carried a trace of cold scrutiny. At this time, the Fierce-tailed Fox met Wu Yudie¡¯s cold gaze. In an instant, the beast felt as if the nerves in its body were frozen. It suddenly shivered. It was as if she had seen through it. At this moment, the Fierce-tailed Fox was extremely nervous. ¡®That¡­ That woman, has she discovered me?¡± However, Wu Yudie only glanced at him and did not intend to expose him. She looked at the experts who were deep in thought with their heads lowered. After all, the Bodhi seed was a rare treasure that could only be found once in a hundred years. It was extremely important to her. She would never agree to let the Bodhi seed fall into the hands of others. Moreover, everyone here had been cultivating for over a thousand years. Wu Yudie was not stupid enough to remind them that the Fierce-tailed Fox was lying. It would only make it more difficult for her to get her hands on the treasure. This was also a very good opportunity for her. As they had been tricked by the Fierce-tailed Fox, they would naturally go down the wrong path. At this moment, the leader of the Inferno Demon Sect, Wu Tian, stood out and suggested, ¡°If I were you, I¡¯d attack Qingyang Town. If there are really strong people there, they¡¯ll naturally be forced out.¡± Undoubtedly, it was the most effective, brutal and simplest method. Although Qingyang Town was not big, it was not an easy task to find a person in it. Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s Daoist Zhenyang said, ¡°Qingyang Town is filled with ordinary people. As immortal cultivators, how can we casually slaughter unarmed mortals?¡± Without a doubt, Daoist Zhenyang stood at the moral high ground at this moment. He had to stand up for the commoners. Otherwise, they would not deserve the name of the righteous sect. Regarding Daoist Zhenyang¡¯s words, Wu Tian did not believe that a hypocrite like him would have such a noble character. Facing Daoist Zhenyang, Wu Tian retorted unceremoniously, ¡°Hehe, what a righteous and self-disciplined Daoist Zhenyang. If I didn¡¯t know what kind of person you are, I might have been tricked by you today!¡± Hearing this, the leader of Inferno Demon Sect in the Nine Serenity World and the leader of the Ancient Barbarian Race burst into laughter. ¡°Hahaha.¡± As for the others, they watched the two of them exchanging insults with no expression on their faces. Upon seeing their mocking laughter, Daoist Zhenyang was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to argue with them, but the other party had more people in number, hence it was difficult for him to fight them with two fists. The group of experts had been in a stalemate for several hours. Until now, they still could not think of any way to find the person who had taken the Bodhi seeds. At this time, Wu Yudie stood up and said, ¡°I don¡¯t agree with Wu Tian¡¯s suggestion either. After all, those are just ordinary people. This matter has nothing to do with them. As immortal cultivators, you can¡¯t casually attack ordinary people. Have you all forgotten? ¡°Moreover, all of you are in deity transformation stage. Do you really want to exchange the lives of an entire city of ordinary people for your good fortune?¡± Wu Tian also listened to Wu Yudie¡¯s berating and did not say anything. As for the others, they naturally did not dare to have any doubts. Only Lin Yan hurriedly flattered, ¡°That¡¯s right. Yudie is right. We¡¯re immortal cultivators. Why would we slaughter the lives of ordinary people for a treasure?¡± Hearing Lin Yan¡¯s words, the other experts cast him disdainful looks. Earlier, other than Wu Tian, he was the one who laughed the loudest. The speed at which he changed his stance was even faster than flipping through a book. Wu Tian¡¯s gaze was dark and cold as he looked at the dignified person standing at the side, speechless. His proposal was rejected entirely because of her. However, Wu Tian did not dare to find trouble with Wu Yudie, not only because of her strength, but also because of the enormous power behind her. It was not something he could afford to provoke. Helpless, Wu Tian could only choose to take a step back and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s go and find it with our own abilities!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tian bought people from the Inferno Demon Sect and flew toward the east. The rest did not want to wait further. They took their people and left. They did not want Wu Tian to be able to find the Bodhi seed first. Otherwise, knowing his personality, it would be extremely difficult for them to snatch it back. However, Wu Yudie was not in a hurry to leave. With the ability of her sect, she believed that they would be able to find it very soon. There was no need for her to search with the rest. She was not worried that those people would snatch the Bodhi seed after they found that person. This was because with the experts combined, they would not be the person¡¯s match. After all, he was someone at the peak of the deity transformation stage. It was obviously impossible for them to get the Bodhi seed from the person by force. All Wu Yudie had to do was to wait. When the time came, she would bring the people of the Jade Lady Sect to the foot of the mountain, find a house, and plan for the next step. Wu Yudie knew that this would be a long battle, and it was very important to have a stable residence. Qingyang Town. Ina small tavern. It was almost evening. ¡®There were only a few scattered tables in the small tavern. Su Mengli was still meditating with the power of the Bodhi seed in her room. Su Yang thought that she was still sleeping, and the tavern was not busy, so he did not invite her for dinner. He had prepared two exquisite stir-fry dishes. He leisurely drank the Hundred Flower Wine that he brewed himself. As pets, Xiao Hong and Mimi naturally got to eat what their master eat. At the table, they happily ate the food that Su Yang prepared for them. After all, Su Yang¡¯s food was not ordinary. Just as Su Yang was about to close the door, Jiu Jian came to the tavern alone, looking depressed. When he came, Su Yang could see that he seemed to have something on his mind. So, Su Yang quickly brought Jiu Jian some chicken soup. He did not know if it would help Jiu Jian. However, he could see that Jiu Jian was very confident when he left.. Chapter 37 - A Duel Between Unscrupulous Immortal Cultivators and Soul Formation Cultivators! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day. A large group of immortal cultivators appeared. The originally peaceful Qingyang Town underwent a huge change. These immortal cultivators did not treat the mortals as human beings at all. They were like gods, commanding the people of Qingyang Town arrogant manner. After all, they were immortal cultivators. The mortals without any cultivation could not disobey their orders at all. They could only obey. Among them, the people from the Inferno Demon Sect, Supreme Dao Sect, and the Soul Hunting Sect were the most outrageous. In just one night, dozens of murders had already occurred. None of these would happen if it were not for the three sects. The other sects were still calm. Although they were also arrogant, they were not as reckless as the disciples of these three sects. One morning, the people of these sects were relatively calm. They did not do any evil deeds in Qingyang Town. Instead, they all gathered on Anping Mountain, ten miles away from Qingyang Town. Today was the day of the decisive battle between Jiu Jian and Youhun. Almost all the experts from all the worlds in the nine regions went to watch the battle. Only a portion of them was left to continue searching for clues in Qingyang Town. After all, this was a battle between the experts in the deity transformation stage. In the entire nine regions, a battle at this level could be said to be extremely rare. Even experts like Wu Tian could not help but go up and watch the duel. After all, a battle between experts would give them a different understanding. Inasmall tavern. After Su Yang got up, he planned to go out and buy some breakfast. After all, he was not the only one in the small tavern now. However, when he walked on the street, he found that it was much quieter than before. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are so many shops closed?¡± Su Yang asked the owner of the shop that he often frequented for breakfast. Hearing this, the owner of the breakfast shop revealed a desolate look in his eyes. He sighed deeply and said helplessly, ¡°Alas, Boss Su, you still don¡¯t know. Yesterday, a group of so-called immortal cultivators suddenly appeared in Qingyang Town. As soon as they came here, they ran amok, and even Killed dozens of people.¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, Su Yang cried out in surprise. ¡°On what basis do they disregard human lives?¡± The breakfast shop owner shook his head helplessly and said, ¡°What right do we have? Just because they are immortal cultivators, we common people can¡¯t beat them! ¡°Boss Su, I advise you not to open your little tavern these few days. If you let those immortal cultivators target you, then it will be troublesome!¡± Hearing the other party¡¯s words, Su Yang secretly clenched his fists, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. ¡°Sure enough, the immortal cultivation world isn¡¯t as good as I imagined. There¡¯s still a group of people who like to bully the weak.!¡± At this time, the owner of the breakfast shop handed a bag of buns to Su Yang and said, ¡°And I heard that today is the day of the decisive battle between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Soul Hunting Sect.¡± ¡°I¡¯s on Anping Mountain. If you¡¯re not afraid, you can go and watch it. After all, it¡¯s a battle between immortal cultivators. It¡¯ll be exciting!¡± Hearing this, Su Yang nodded and left with his breakfast. Only then did he remember Jiu Jian who had come to his tavern last night. No wonder his face tuned black the moment he entered. ¡°The chicken soup I gave him won¡¯t poison him, right?!¡¯ Thinking of this, Su Yang¡¯s eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Anping Mountain. Anping Mountain. Jiu Jian had a stern look in his eyes, and his aura burst out. Youhun had white hair, and his face flickered with a cold smile. Besides the disciples of the two sects, the only ones left at the foot of Anping Mountain were the experts from other realms. ¡°Jiu Jian, I didn¡¯t expect you to really dare to come?¡± Youhun asked mockingly. ¡°Humph!¡± Jiu Jian snorted coldly but did not say much. ¡°Die!¡± Youhun, with his cultivation at the third level of the deity transformation stage, burst out in an instant. Boundless spirit energy twined around him. With a whoosh, he disappeared from where he was. He flew up to the sky like lightning, and then smashed down at Jiu Jian with an invincible palm. The majestic spirit energy of the third level of the deity transformation stage gave off a powerful pressure and pressed down on Jiu Jian. Before the attack arrived, the rock under Jiu Jian¡¯s feet was cracking and spreading like a spider web. Jiu Jian did not want to be left behind. He burst out a powerful aura. He stomped on the ground. The huge rock behind him shattered instantly. Jiu Jian instantly drew out his sword, which was as fast as lightning, He swung it at Youhun who was descending from above. Boom! The palms and swords collided, and a violent shock wave spread out in all directions. Countless energy waves spread out in all directions. The disciples who were watching kept retreating due to the terrifying energy waves. The battle between two deity transformation stage experts was indeed terrifying, The shock wave dissipated. Youhun was still standing in the same spot, his body tall and straight. Jiu Jian took a few steps back before he stabilized his body. Seeing this, the faces of the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect darkened. In the crowd, Wang Nan clenched his hands with a pale face. He had just joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, so he knew what this battle meant. Could it be that the leisure path that he had painstakingly entered was going to be cut off just like that? ¡°Hahaha, Jiu Jian, you¡¯re still the same as you were in the past. You¡¯re just a piece of trash.¡± Youhun ridiculed him. When Jiu Jian heard this, his expression turned dark. The gap between them was indeed huge. However, he did not give up. After all, he had these two extremely powerful trump cards. Now was not the time to reveal them. ¡°Die!¡± Youhun roared. He did not intend to give Jiu Jian any chance to catch his breath. He waved his arm and began to condense spirit energy. A huge palm print was formed. The huge palm print, which was as white as jade, floated in the air. The power of this attack was even more powerful than the previous one. If Jiu Jian only had the strength he showed earlier, then this would be a decisive moment for him. The experts from all over the nine realms watched the battle with interest. During this time, they did not forget to give their own comments. Aman was dressed in a black robe and had a short jet-black head. His eyes were as sharp as swords, revealing a cold glint. He looked at the two people who were still fighting on the mountain and revealed a disdainful smile.. He snorted and said, ¡°Hmph! That¡¯s all? Then there¡¯s nothing to see here!¡± Chapter 39 - The Hypocritical Daoist Zhenyang! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Even someone as powerful as Youhun seemed insignificant under this light. The sneer and mockery on his face suddenly froze. Jiu Jian¡¯s sword had split apart Youhum¡¯s lightning ax. With a crushing force, it even chopped off one of Youhun¡¯s arms. A tremendous pain rushed over his body. Helpless, Youhun could only use a camouflage technique. His body quickly disappeared from where he was and escaped at an extreme speed. This was the peak of Anping Mountain, which had been flattened by the power of this sword. The reason why this sword could unleash such a terrifying power was not only because it was a holy weapon, but also because it contained a low-level earth-rank martial skill. The reason why Youhun did not die under this terrible sword light was because when he came into the world as a young man, he got a life-saving treasure. It¡¯s called a stand-in, Although it helped the person block a kill shot, its after-effects were clearly terrifying. Not only will their own spirit energy deplete but even their cultivation stage will fall. ¡°What?¡± Seeing this scene, everyone who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain was in disbelief. They all sucked in a breath of cold air, and the Heavenly Sword Sect burst into an unprecedented cheer. At the same time, pairs of burning gazes were focused on the broken sword in the hands of the Jiu Jian. The power of this broken sword was clearly beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. It was terrifying. Wang Nan, who was in the crowd, opened his mouth in surprise. He had a feeling that he had seen this broken sword somewhere before. He felt that it was very familiar. As the saying goes, a layman watches a show, but an expert knows the ropes. ¡®The many experts who were watching from halfway up the mountain recognized that the broken sword was a holy weapon at a glance. None of them present could possibly take out a holy weapon. All of them had greedy looks in their eyes. They all wanted to take that broken sword for themselves. However, none of them dared to act rashly. Although all of them were very conceited, they did not think that they had the ability to resist that heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sword light. After all, they did not know if Jiu Jian would be able to strike a second time. No one dared to stand out like this. Their old lives were more important. Although they did not dare to snatch it, they flew toward the peak of the mountain together. They all landed in front of Jiu Jian. Jiu Jian originally wanted to chase after Youhun, but he was stopped by many experts in front of him. He naturally knew all of these people. They were the top experts in several realms. He also knew why these experts had gathered in the small Jade Forest World, Naturally, it was because of the heaven and earth phenomenon yesterday. Jiu Jian naturally knew that it concerned the Bodhi seed. After combining two earth-rank martial techniques, he chose to enter seclusion instead of exploring treasures. After all, there was no use in obtaining treasures. If he was defeated by Youhun his entire sect would be destroyed. Although Jiu Jian was furious that these people blocked his path, he did not dare to act rashly. Although he had a treasure sword and a low-level earth-rank martial technique, Jiu Jian did not dare to fight against so many experts here. Jiu Jian looked at the crowd in front of him with a dark expression. He had already noticed the crowd when they were watching the battle from the mountainside. At that time, he was also very nervous about whether he should expose this broken sword to the public. He knew that a holy weapon would definitely trigger a bloody fight. Therefore, he did not take out the broken sword to kill Youhun at the first moment. As for why he dared to take out his holy sword, it was naturally because this holy sword was not his but he borrowed it from Su Yang. If these guys dared to snatch the holy sword¡­ Hehe! If they angered senior Su Yang, they would be in big trouble. Faced with everyone who had been spying for a long time, Jiu Jian did not show any weakness and cupped his hands and said, ¡°I wonder why fellow immortals stopped me?¡± Daoist Zhenyang from the Supreme Dao Sect stood out first and chuckled. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s nothing. I just feel that it¡¯s not very honorable for you to first possess the power of the weapon and win this duel. It¡¯s fine if you win, but if you want to kill all of us, then it¡¯s your fault, fellow immortal.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Looking at Daoist Zhenyang who was acting full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, Jiu Jian snorted coldly in his heart. He was naturally very familiar with Daoist Zhenyang, He was like a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. Therefore, Jiu Jian retorted unceremoniously, ¡°What does the grudge between me and Youhun have to do with you, Daoist Zhenyang? This is our personal grudge. It¡¯s not up to an outsider to lecture us!¡± Daoist Zhenyang was not angry when he heard this. He smiled slightly and said, ¡°Fellow immortal, your words are different. Our Supreme Dao Sect has always taken the responsibility of building a peaceful and stable immortal cultivation environment. Your actions are naturally inconsistent with our ideals. It¡¯s not wrong for us to intervene and stop you.¡± ¡®The Rakshasa Demon Sect leader, Jiu You, quickly cooperated and said, ¡°Hehe, Daoist Zhenyang is right. We don¡¯t have any ill intentions. We just don¡¯t wish for a generation of human experts to perish here!¡± As for the others, they remained silent and quietly watched the two fellows¡¯ performance. Jiu Jian looked at their faces and felt disgusted. How could he not know what they had? ¡°Hahaha.¡± Jiu Jian suddenly let out a long howl toward the sky. This scene caused everyone present to think that this fellow had gone mad from the reflection of the holy weapon. If that was the case, then there would be something to see. ¡°What a nice place to not bear the fall of a human powerhouse, and what a nice place to build a peaceful and stable leisure environment. What you all said is really good.¡± Jiu Jian laughed wildly but his words were filled with endless ridicule. Even Wu Yudie could not hold back her face at this moment. Although she did not think that she was the same type of person as Daoist Zhenyang and the others, she did have a desire for this holy weapon. After all, it was a real holy weapon. Which immortal cultivator would have a grudge against a holy weapon? Even she was no exception. At this time, Wu Tian of the Inferno Demon Sect could not hold back the anger in his heart. He crossed his arms over his chest, and a powerful aura instantly leaked out! He looked at Jiu Jian and said straightforwardly, ¡°Don¡¯t compare us to those two sanctimonious fellows. The reason I¡¯m here today is to find out where you got this holy weapon. Tell me and I¡¯ll spare your life. Otherwise, you¡¯ll die..¡± Chapter 40 - Borrowed by a Senior Expert! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Upon hearing this, Jiu Jian laughed out loud. ¡°Hahaha, I like your decisive and forthright personality. You say whatever you have to say, unlike some people who only know how to talk about the so-called great principles and stand on the high moral ground to condemn others.¡± ¡°However¡­¡± Jiu Jian glanced at Wu Tian and said, ¡°Why should I tell you?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Hearing that, Wu Tian also laughed out loud. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. ¡°Why? You don¡¯t think that you can be my opponent with just a holy weapon, do you? If I want to kill you, I can do it in three moves!¡± Wu Tian looked down at Jiu Jian arrogantly. Although he was holding a holy weapon and a ground-connecting weapon, he was not afraid at all. However, as a sixth level meridian formation stage expert, he was not afraid at all. Although their gap was huge, Jiu Jian was not the only one who had a trump card. Hearing this, Jiu Jian did not show any fear on his face. ¡°Hehe, this sword doesn¡¯t belong to me. I borrowed it from a senior expert. As for who this expert is and where he is, I can¡¯t tell you. If you want to make a move, then come. The holy weapon is here. If you have the guts, then come and snatch it!¡± With that, Jiu Jian held the broken sword in front of his chest and prepared himself for battle. His determination surprised everyone present. Especially Daoist Zhenyang who did not expect Jiu Jian to be so unyielding. Even Wu Tian¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of fear. A senior expert who had a holy weapon? For a moment, he could not guess the cultivation level of this expert. This expert had made Jiu Jian not reveal any information about him although it may cost him his life. Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Wu Yudie stepped forward at the critical moment and said, ¡°Fellow immortal, I don¡¯t have any thoughts about this so-called holy weapon. I just want you to introduce the senior expert you mentioned. I wonder if it¡¯s okay?¡± ¡®When Jiu Jian saw Wu Yudie, who had used such a sincere tone to ask of others, it instantly made him pale with fright. Jiu Jian had known Wu Yudie for a long time, but he had never seen Wu Yudie use such a sincere tone to speak to others. Although there was a trace of pride in it, it still had a hint of a request. Wu Yudie did not say this casually. All of this was based on the incomplete aura that Wu Yudie had felt in the primeval forest. In addition, Jade Forest World possessed low-level earth rank martial skills and a holy weapon, which should not have appeared in the nine regions. It was not difficult to think that there must be a connection between the two. Perhaps the Bodhi seed was taken away by the senior expert mentioned by Jiu Jian. A senior expert who mastered a low-level earth-rank martial skill and possessed a holy weapon¡­ His strength was definitely not something that the people present could afford to provoke. In addition, Jiu Jian was so determined to ensure that the senior lived in seclusion. Only then did she suddenly want to meet this senior expert. She believed that with her ability, as long as she could meet this senior expert, it would not be difficult to obtain a Bodhi seed. ¡®Wu Yudie originally thought that with her position in the nine regions, she could win some face. However, she did not expect Jiu Jian shook his head decisively and refused her request. Jiu You could not stand it any longer. He instantly pulled out his treasured saber and pointed it at Jiu Jian as he threatened, ¡°It¡¯s your good fortune that Wu Yudie gave you this opportunity. Why aren¡¯t you taking advantage of it?¡± Jiu Jian paid no attention to Jiu You¡¯s clamor. He turned to look at Wu Yudie. ¡°Tm sorry. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m unwilling, but that senior likes peace and quiet, so¡­¡± ¡®Wu Yudie also knew that she was a bit rude when she heard this. She bowed slightly and apologized sincerely, ¡°I was rude.¡± Seeing this, Jiu Jian shook his head, indicating that it was nothing. ¡°Then, how can we meet that senior?¡± Wu Tian unexpectedly put down her arrogance and asked. Inasmall tavern. ¡®When Su Yang returned, he originally wanted to ask Su Mengli to have breakfast with him. After knocking on the door for a long time, he did not see any movement from Su Mengli. He thought that this girl had not woken up so he did not disturb her. Instead, he brought his two little pets, Xiao Hong and Mimi, to eat breakfast together. ¡®Mimi was eating and drinking well at Su Yang¡¯s place, and it was a great cultivation environment too. His own cultivation had already broken through the peak of the deity transformation stage, stepping into return to void stage. Now, Mimi and Xiao Hong were both experts in the return to void stage. One must know that there did not seem to be any experts in the return to void stage in the nine regions. Even experts at the peak of the deity transformation stage were very rare. The two small demon beasts beside Su Yang had already reached the return to void stage. Those experts in the nine regions would probably be shocked when they found out. The two powerful demon beasts in the return to void stage often fought in secret when Su Yang was not around. This was Su Yang¡¯s residence after all, so the two did not dare to use too powerful martial techniques. If they were to destroy every single piece of grass and tree here, then they would feel guilty as every single thing in Su Yang¡¯s residence could be considered a treasure. If they were to break one, the two of them would not be able to afford to compensate. The two demon beasts were lazily enjoying the warmth brought by the sunlight in the backyard. On the surface, the two demonic beasts looked extremely lazy. Secretly, these two little fellows were trying to absorb the heaven and earth spirit energy here. Su Yang came to the backyard and looked at the two leisurely little demon beasts. He directly called out with a faint smile. ¡°These two little fellows are really living very leisurely!¡± With that said, he left the place and went to the front hall. As soon as Su Yang left, the two little demon beasts instantly became spirited. They looked at each other ferociously, ready to launch an attack at any time. The two sensed Su Yang¡¯s location and knew that he had already gone far away. The two little guys started to fight. They rolled from the center of the backyard to a corner on the side, and then to the east comer, and until the two hit a well. Kacha. The two little guys broke a pile of stones next to the well. Although this pile of stones looked ordinary, at a glance, it seemed to be deliberate as if it was a formation.
