Shrouding the Heavens World's Immortal Maiden

The crowd was once again captivated by Su Yang's narration, as if they were transported into the story themselves, forgetting all the previous commotion.

The moment Ye Fan obtained the Demon Emperor's Heart, a woman of peerless beauty suddenly appeared before him.

She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with a perfectly proportioned figure, clear and bright eyes, skin as fair as snow, and dark hair falling like black clouds behind her head.

Such a stunning visage was difficult to match even for the legendary Nine Heavens Immortal Maidens; in fact, she surpassed them in both temperament and appearance.

As these words were spoken, the listeners seated around them immediately showed expressions of astonishment and envy.

Following that, someone impatiently asked Su Yang, "Mr. Su, who exactly is that woman? How can she be more beautiful than the celestial maidens?"

"That's right, Mr. Su, have you seen a celestial maiden?"

"You are a person of noble status, perhaps you have truly seen a fairy from the Nine Heavens. However, it is truly hard for us to believe that someone could be even more beautiful."

"Yes, the Nine Heavens Immortal Maidens are already the epitome of beauty. How could there be a woman in this world who surpasses them?"

"Haha, perhaps Mr. Su is just making it up to amuse us?"

Su Yang smiled faintly upon hearing this, his gaze swept across the crowd, and he slowly began to speak, "Do you all believe that the Nine Heavens Immortal Maidens are the most beautiful women in the world?"

"Of course."

"Mr. Su, who do you think is more captivating than a celestial maiden now?"

"If I could only see the face of a celestial maiden with my own eyes, I would consider my life worth living."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang nodded gently and continued, "I promised you all that after Ye Fan and the others arrived at the new land riding the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, I would give you an opportunity to ask questions."

"Now, do you wish to know what kind of stunning women exist in the Shrouding the Heavens World?"

"If you are interested, I can tell you about them, of course, without revealing any future plot points."

"After I finish, we can then compare the beauties of the Shrouding the Heavens World with the beauties of this Primordial World one by one, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and anticipation flickered in their eyes.

Even the Third Holy Mother, Changxi, Xi He, and Empress Nuwa, all showed expressions of curiosity, gazing quietly at Su Yang.

They wanted to hear him speak of the peerless beauties from that mysterious world.

After all, people, regardless of gender, are curious about exceptional beauty.

Men are driven by longing, while women are more inclined to compare—who is truly superior?

Even Immortals and Gods cannot escape this innate nature.

"Mr. Su, please tell us then, we all want to know about the stunning women in the Shrouding the Heavens World."

"Yes, Mr. Su, I heard that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is the foremost beauty in the Heavenly Court. I wonder if the women in the Shrouding the Heavens World can compare to her?"

"How should we compare them? The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is said in legends to be so beautiful she could topple nations, and she is a top figure even among celestial maidens!"

"Alas, it's hard to say. Perhaps in the Shrouding the Heavens World, there really are women who can rival her?"

Inside Zixiao Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian's eyes widened in shock as he saw Su Yang shatter the heavenly punishment with just one word.

"What method did this kid use?

I clearly didn't sense any cultivation on him, at most some physical strength. How did he manage to break the heavenly punishment with just a single sentence!?"

Sect Master Tongtian's eyes were filled with confusion. After all, that wasn't ordinary heavenly tribulation, but heavenly punishment!

Although there was only a one-word difference, the gap between them was immense.

The first point was that heavenly tribulation could be resolved through magical artifacts or techniques, and one could even enhance their strength through it.

Such tribulations usually appeared when demons transformed or for Immortals below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, with three disasters, six difficulties, and nine tribulations occurring every five hundred years.

Heavenly punishment, however, was a retribution bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, which almost no one could escape.

Although the power of each lightning strike varied, it was by no means something a mortal could withstand.

Yet, Su Yang destroyed the heavenly punishment with just a single word!

How did he achieve this?

Hongjun also opened his eyes at this moment, shock evident in his gaze.

"The heavenly punishment... was broken just like that?"

His face was filled with disbelief, and he immediately activated the power of the Heavenly Dao, attempting to investigate Su Yang's identity.

One who could so easily break heavenly punishment was definitely no ordinary person.

But soon, Hongjun's expression became even more complex.

The power of the Heavenly Dao he mobilized could not ascertain Su Yang's origin!

How was this possible? Could someone escape the control of the Heavenly Dao?

In the Underworld.

The Lord of Mount Tai gasped in disbelief as he witnessed Su Yang effortlessly break the heavenly punishment.

"How is this possible? The power of the Heavenly Punishment was broken just like that?"

"How did he do it?" Great Emperor Fengdu said, also in disbelief.

Houtu looked at that figure, her heart also in turmoil.

"It seems this child is truly no ordinary person; even the Heavenly Dao's lightning punishment couldn't do anything to him."

She pondered for a moment and then said, "You two go personally, bring him back, and don't let those with ill intentions harm him."

Lord of Mount Tai and Great Emperor Fengdu both nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with shock.

In the Heavenly Court, above the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The Jade Emperor watched as Su Yang effortlessly dispelled the Heavenly Dao's lightning punishment, his heart equally shaken.

Taibai Jinxing's expression was shocked, and he couldn't help but say, "What method did this youth use?

The Heavenly Dao tribulation, which has been said to be inescapable since ancient times, was resolved by him so easily?"

The Jade Emperor's gaze narrowed slightly, and he slowly spoke, "It seems this mortal named Su Yang does indeed have some extraordinary qualities.

However, since he has angered the Heavenly Dao, his path in the Earthly Immortal Realm will likely be difficult at every step."

Taibai Jinxing nodded in agreement, "Su Yang has already incurred the Heavenly Dao's suspicion. The powerful individuals in the Earthly Immortal Realm who wish to curry favor with that entity will likely make a move against him."

"It won't be long before someone personally goes to capture him and send him to Zixiao Palace."

On Golden Turtle Island, deep within Biyou Palace.

This place was once the headquarters of the Jie Teachings, but it was now vastly changed. After the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Sect Master Tongtian was suppressed in Zixiao Palace.

The disciples of the Jie Teachings scattered, and the once prosperous sect was now desolate.

Even Daoist Duobao had defected to the West, becoming the Buddha and representing the Western Teachings in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

At this moment, within Biyou Palace, three women of peerless beauty were intently watching an image formed by great magic.

They were the three direct disciples of Sect Master Tongtian, famously known throughout the three realms as the "Three Sanxiao Maidens."

Yunxiao's eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Su Yang, unharmed in the image, and whispered, "A mortal being able to evade the power of the Heavenly Dao, even shattering the lightning tribulation!

How is this possible?"

Bixiao took a deep breath and said softly, "To survive the Heavenly Dao's lightning tribulation, elder sister, could this Su Yang be the last hope of the Jie Teachings?"

Qiongxiao, however, gently shook her head, her tone calm, "Being able to evade the lightning tribulation does not mean he can escape the Heavenly Dao's control.

Although this person has abilities, he is far from enough to become a turning point for our Jie Teachings."
