Yunhua in Crisis

"During this trip to the secret realm, Fellow Daoist Taibai contributed the most, followed by myself, then the Immortal Couple of Hidden Moon, and Granny Tianhua. Does everyone agree with this order?"

Yang Chenzi looked around at everyone. Although he was the one who discovered the Secret Realm and organized the team for this treasure hunt, Yang Tianyou deserved much credit for the great success this time.

When the minotaur spotted them and attacked directly, it was Yang Tianyou who blocked the heaviest blow, allowing them to escape unscathed.

Yang Chenzi was a kind and honest person, and he also wanted to get to know Yang Tianyou better. Such a capable person who was proficient in Detection and Space Dao and had great strength would be of great use in many ways.

"Daoist Friends Yang Chenzi's division is very reasonable, and we naturally have no objections."

Granny Tianhua spoke first, and the Hidden Moon Immortal Companions quickly agreed.

After a brief discussion, the final distribution of the spoils was determined: Yang Tianyou would receive 35%, Yang Chenzi 30%, Hidden Moon Immortal Companions 20%, and Granny Tianhua 15%.

Because of the great gains from this trip to the Secret Realm, with Yang Tianyou's help, the vast Inner Periphery area was completely cleared out. Even just one-tenth of the resources was a considerable sum.

"I cultivate the Fire Dao, and I hope that my fellow Daoist Friends will be willing to part with this Principle Crystal."

Yang Chenzi spoke first, saying that this Fire Attribute Principle Crystal was crucial for his breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm, and he would do everything in his power to obtain it.

Upon hearing this, Granny Tianhua didn't say anything and simply nodded in agreement. She cultivated the Way of Musical Dao, and even if she obtained this Principle Crystal Fire Dao Law, she would just sell it directly. It was better to give Yang Chenzi face.

However, the Hidden Moon Immortal Companions hesitated. It wasn't that they needed it, but rather that a close friend, who was also a Fire Dao cultivator, had asked them a few years ago to keep an eye out and buy any Fire Dao Principle Crystals they came across.

Seeing this, Yang Chenzi became somewhat anxious and looked at Yang Tianyou.

Yang Tianyou also wanted to befriend Yang Chenzi, a kind and honest person, and offered his support.

The Hidden Moon Immortal Companions sighed and gave up, and Yang Chenzi happily accepted the final Principle Crystal into his arms.

After distributing the most important treasures, the group began to distribute the remaining treasures. The majority were various Fire Attribute Mineral Deposits, which were easy to sell, and their value was quickly estimated...

After half an hour, all the treasures were distributed, and the group returned to Mingfu Mountain in Flying Shuttle.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai, please come visit me anytime. The doors of my Daoist temple are always open to you," Yang Chenzi said warmly, looking up at Yang Tianyou, who was standing on the back of the white roc with his robes fluttering.

"Definitely, definitely. I'll definitely have to bother you, Brother Yang Chenzi, a lot in the future." Yang Tianyou cupped his hands and smiled. Then, the white roc let out a cry that shook the heavens and the clouds, spread its wings and flew high, disappearing from Yang Chenzi's sight in an instant.

Upon returning to the Three Origin Hall, Yang Tianyou entrusted all his gains to Zhiming to manage, and instructed him to use some of the resources to intensify the search for Yunhua through various intelligence agencies, while he himself went into seclusion to study the Blade Dao.

The Seventh Heaven, the Great Chen Imperial Dynasty, Tonghua Prefecture.

Over the years, Fairy Yunhua's name has resounded throughout the entire manor.

Seventh Tier Alchemist, with extraordinary talent and Peerless Beauty, she attracted the admiration and respect of countless male cultivators. Her suitors were as numerous as fish crossing a river, and even Core Disciples of major sects who had Tribulation Transcendence personally pursued her. However, Fairy Yunhua remained unmoved, focusing solely on Alchemy, resource gathering, and cultivation.

"Reporting to the fairy, Young Master Jingyu of the Huchen Sect has arrived again and is currently waiting outside the cave abode." A pretty maid of about sixteen years old reported to Yunhua.

Yunhua, who was Alchemy, didn't even look up. "Just go and send him away."

"This is Young Master Jingyu, are you truly not tempted, Fairy?" the maid asked cautiously. "Wouldn't it be alright to meet him before making a decision?"

"Hmm? How many Spirit Stones did you take from him?"

Yunhua frowned and asked coldly.

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thud, stammering, "One hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, I beg your forgiveness, fairy."

"You should go." Yunhua sighed.

"Fairy, please don't send me away, I dare not..." The little maid pleaded, her eyes filled with tears, her face streaked with tears. But Yunhua remained unmoved, and with a flick of her sleeve, she sent the little maid out of the cave abode.

Then, she looked around, sighed, and muttered to herself, "It seems I can't stay in Tonghua Prefecture any longer."

As her memories awaken and her strength increases, Yunhua's physique improves on its own every moment.

The Taiyin Saint Body has undergone several Bloodline Metamorphosis and is not far from reaching the level of Immortal Body.

The allure of the Taiyin Saint Body to men is unparalleled among all other physiques. Even though Yunhua tried her best to conceal it, many forces and cultivators still discovered the clues.

What is meant by Peerless Beauty and extraordinary talent?

They all came for the immense benefits of dual cultivation with the Taiyin Saint Body.

Even worse, some might even be thinking of refining Yunhua into a furnace or cauldron.

If Yunhua hadn't previously displayed some skill, killing a Late Stage Void Refinement Devil Cultivator with apparent ease and leaving everyone guessing, someone would probably have already made a move.

Outside the cave, the handsome and otherworldly-looking Young Master Jingyu, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the surrounding Flowers, Plants, and Trees. He unconsciously took a deep breath, his face showing a look of rapture.

"As expected, she possesses the Taiyin Body, and is not far from the Immortal Body level. If I were to obtain her, breaking through to the Body Integration Realm would be a piece of cake. I just wonder what kind of background this Fairy Yunhua has. In the 142 prefectures of the Great Chen Imperial Dynasty, I have never heard of such a person before. Could she be from another of the Eighth Heavens, or perhaps Ascension One?"

Young Master Jingyu pondered this, a flash of light appeared, and a beautiful woman materialized before him— Yunhua's maid.

"Well, has Fairy Yunhua given a reply?" Young Master Jingyu asked expectantly.

The maid, her face full of resentment, said, "Fairy Yunhua kicked me out, saying she looked down on someone like you, young master."

The maid embellished the story, a hint of resentment in her eyes. "It was just a few Spirit Stones, was it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

She didn't think she had done anything wrong at all; on the contrary, she thought Yunhua was being too harsh.

"Oh? Fairy Yunhua really said that?" Young Master Jingyu narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes, looking at the maid with a half-smile, his tone icy.

The maid was speechless for a moment, stammering and unable to utter a word.

"Don't try to be clever next time." Glancing at her, Young Master Jingyu flew away, leaving the maid looking utterly dejected.

Back at the sect, Young Master Jingyu summoned his henchman, "How's the investigation going?"

The lackey said excitedly, "We've found out! This Fairy Yunhua is a cultivator from the lower realm who recently Ascension. It's just that her Ascension location wasn't in the Seventh Heaven, which is why we couldn't find her."

"Oh? So she doesn't have any powerful backers?" Young Master Jingyu's eyes lit up.

"Absolutely not. If there were someone in the upper realm, how could they be Rogue Cultivator? Besides, the Ascension Platform that guided her was a public Ascension Platform."

"Heh, so you're from the lower realm. That's why I dare not act rashly." Young Master Jingyu sneered.

"Young master, what shall we do next..." The lackey's eyes revealed a lewd smile.

Young Master Jingyu stood up. "Call Elder Han. If soft tactics don't work, we'll have to resort to force."

"Yes, sir!!"

"Master, Master, there's news of the Mistress!" Zhiming rushed into the cave abode with his short legs, his voice urgent.

Yang Tianyou immediately stopped his meditation and asked, "What happened? Has something happened to Madam?"

"It's like this..." Zhiming succinctly explained the situation.

In short, someone was lustful and tried to forcibly take Yunhua with his men, but was killed by Yunhua instead.

However, this person's identity is not simple; he is the grandson of a Bandit Cultivator, and his status is very high. That Tribulation Transcendence Sect has dispatched a large number of High-Rank Cultivators to hunt down Yunhua, Yunhua's situation is now very dangerous.

"Young Master Jingyu? Huchen Sect? You're courting death!!" Yang Tianyou was furious. He took Zhiming with him and had the Void Worm use spatial Divine Ability to travel towards the Great Chen Imperial Dynasty.

In a Perilous Land, endless yellow sand rages, and deep within that boundless desert, countless terrifying Fierce Beasts lurk.

An Escape Light flashed across the horizon, and not long after, an imposing warship swept across the sky. When it encountered a terrifying natural disaster such as a desert Storm, it was directly smashed to pieces, displaying extraordinary ferocity.

On the warship, a dozen or so Void Refinement experts stood against the wind, with three at the forefront: two men and one woman at the Body Integration. The woman was a Body Integration Middle Stage cultivator.

"As expected of someone capable of killing Body Integration Cultivator beyond their level, such mastery of Escape Techniques is truly unseen in the Void Refinement Realm. Has Young Master Jingyu lost his mind? How could he provoke such a cultivator? Even if that person has no backing now, so what? Such talent will rise to prominence sooner or later. Isn't this just inviting a formidable enemy for our Huchen Sect? And Uncle Jinghu, he doesn't even know how to properly discipline his grandson. He's always causing trouble for the sect. Now look what happened! He kicked a hornet's nest, and now he's dead." Yanyun Fairy's eyebrows furrowed, her tone extremely dissatisfied.

The Huchen Sect Dharma Protectors behind her exchanged glances. Yanyun Fairy's master was another Tribulation Transcending Bandit Cultivator in the sect, which was why she dared to recklessly curse Young Master Jingyu and slander the Tribulation Transcendence Old Ancestor. They, the Dharma Protectors with no background, no support, and no strength, dared not casually agree with her.

"Senior Sister Yan Yun, you should show some respect to Master." Another male Body Integration Cultivator frowned and reminded him. It was fine to scold Young Master Jingyu, but when it came to his master, he still had to speak up in defense. No matter what he thought in his heart, he had to put on a show.

Upon hearing this, Yanyun Fairy pursed her lips but didn't say anything more.

"How far are we from Yunhua?" At this moment, the last male cultivator at the Body Integration Soul stage asked. A Void Refinement cultivator behind him quickly stepped forward and replied, "According to the Formation's detection, the distance between us is about 20,000 li. At our current speed, it will probably take three days to catch up."

After a pause, the man added, "The premise is that this Fairy Yunhua will not use any more Forbidden Divine Ability."

They hadn't failed to catch Yunhua before, but as the distance closed, Yunhua's speed would increase dramatically, allowing her to escape successfully.

Upon hearing this, Yanyun Fairy sneered, "Forbidden Divine Ability are not so easily activated. Each use comes at a great cost. This Fairy Yunhua has already used it four times. Her aura is growing weaker and weaker; she's at her limit and won't last much longer."

"Such a fairy, what a pity!" Yanyun Fairy sighed again. She felt a sense of kinship with Fairy Yunhua, but unfortunately, they were mortal enemies. Otherwise, they could have shared a drink and made merry.

Using the spatial teleportation of the Void Worm, Yang Tianyou arrived at the territory of the Great Chen Imperial Dynasty in just a few days. The price he paid was that the once plump Void Worm had become emaciated, and its eyes had lost their luster.

Fortunately, Yang Tianyou had Grotto Heaven where he could bring other spirit pets; otherwise, this guy would have been dead long ago.

"Hold on a little longer, we'll find Madam soon." Yang Tianyou gently stroked the Void Worm, then released Zhiming to Detection to the fullest extent.

"Master, we still haven't found the Mistress," Zhiming said wearily.

These past few days, besides the Void Worm, he was the most exhausted. It was only because of his Divine Beast Bloodline that he was holding on; otherwise, Zhiming would have been on the verge of death, just like the Void Worm.

"Then let's move forward a little further." With a command from Yang Tianyou, the Void Worm could only squeeze its own resources to move through space once more.

"Found it!! Finally found it!!" Zhiming shouted. Hearing this, the Void Worm, which had been on the verge of death, suddenly perked up. Now that it had found Yunhua, it would no longer need to desperately use its supernatural Divine Ability.

"Then let's go!" Yang Tianyou gave the order, and the space rippled as his figure vanished in an instant.

In the desert, Yunhua's face was pale, his spirits were low, and he had become much more haggard from the chase.

At this moment, she had very little Law Power left. The repeated pushing to the limit was too much for her, even with her near-immortal physique.

Therefore, Yunhua decided not to run away and prepared to use her last bit of strength to fight her pursuers to the death.

But just then, the space rippled, and a pair of strong, familiar arms pulled her into an embrace. "My lady, I'm late."

Looking down at his wife's haggard appearance in his arms, Yang Tianyou felt a pang of heartache, followed by a surge of raging anger.

"My husband..."

Yunhua stroked her husband's cheek, feeling a sense of relief.

"My lady, please go into the Great White Grotto Heaven to heal your injuries first. Leave the rest to me!" Yang Tianyou said gently.

"Then be careful and don't confront them head-on. That Yanyun Fairy, who is in the Body Integration Middle Stage of the Integration Realm, is very strong. It's best to avoid her for now." After saying this, Yunhua disappeared and was taken into Yang Tianyou's Grotto Heaven.

"Temporarily avoid the limelight?"

Yang Tianyou lowered his eyes, although his reason told him that Yunhua's words were the best solution to the current situation.

But...

"I'm so frustrated!"

With a soft sigh, Yang Tianyou's figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards the warships that were pursuing him from afar.

At the same time, drastic changes occurred in his Spirit Abode.

The long-dormant origin of the Grotto Heaven began to burn, and vortexes of Spiritual Qi appeared in the vast Spirit Abode realm, devouring the Spiritual Qi from the void.

The remaining Primordial Power also began to reverse, transforming into a vast Power of Annihilation.

All these forces were poured into Yang Tianyou, causing his aura to expand rapidly until it reached the heavens and filled the earth.
