Powerful Aura

Grand Pure One Laozi said faintly, "I worry that you will also be like Sect Master Tongtian, triggering a Sage conflict and ending up trapped in Zixiao Palace."

Upon hearing this, Primordial Beginning said no more.

Nuwa appeared once again in the Chaos, seeing the four Sages gathered outside Wa Huang Palace, and said, "It seems my Wa Huang Palace is full of guests today."

"Fellow senior brothers, long time no see, is everything well?"

"Thank you for your concern, we are still at peace."

Zhunti and Jieyin returned the greeting with smiles.

Jieyin added, "Besides Sect Master Tongtian, we are all gathered here."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

The events of Tongtian's past still lingered in their hearts.

Nuwa then said, "I am somewhat tired today and will not discuss the Dao with you senior brothers. Please return."

Having said that, she went straight back to the palace, not showing any courtesy.

Primordial Beginning watched her departing figure, and a trace of anger rose in his heart.

But because several Sages were present, he did not dare to act rashly.

"It seems it will be difficult to succeed today."

Primordial Beginning thought to himself, then bid farewell to the Sages and turned to leave.

Far away in the depths of the Chaos, among a stretch of Qingshan, a cave dwelling stood quietly in the forest.

A Rabbit Demon quietly returned to its cave, carrying a Jade Slip in its mouth.

In an instant, the rabbit transformed into a beautiful woman, graceful, with an otherworldly temperament, like a Fairy Maiden descending to earth.

Who would have thought that this was a transformed Demon Clan, and not a Fairy from Above the Nine Heavens?

Soon after, the Rabbit Demon held a piece of Jade Stone in her hand and slowly injected a stream of spiritual power.

After a moment, a faint echo emerged from the Jade Stone.

"In endless darkness and cold, nine giant Dragon Corpses pull a Bronze Coffin, sleeping in eternal nothingness..."

This was actually a Memory Stone, capable of preserving past words.

The Rabbit Demon listened, a hint of interest in her expression.

"That person's story has a unique flavor, but why have I never heard of it? Never mind, it won't hurt to bring it back and tell it to my sister."

The Rabbit Demon muttered to herself, then placed the Jade Stone into a small wooden box deep within the cave dwelling.

Opening the wooden box, there were already seven or eight Jade Stones lying quietly inside, showing how fascinated this Rabbit Demon was with Su Yang's words.

"That person's only flaw is that he always stops at the crucial moment. If I couldn't easily show myself in the Earthly Immortal Realm, I would definitely make him suffer."

The Rabbit Demon thought of this, displeasure appearing on her face, and a bold idea even flashed through her mind—to capture Su Yang and imprison him.

However, although she was somewhat mischievous, she was not evil.

Otherwise, when Su Yang had not yet begun cultivating, he would probably have been captured by her long ago.

At this moment, Su Yang sat upright in his room, with an invisible force seemingly pulling on him, constantly drawing the aura of heaven and earth into his body.

The immortal energy of the Primordial World was merging into his limbs and bones at an astonishing rate!

If he were cultivating in the Shrouding the Heavens World, there would never be such rapid progress.

This was because what flowed in that world was spiritual energy, not immortal energy.

Now that he was in the Primordial World, even if he was only in the Earthly Immortal Realm, what Su Yang was absorbing was all invaluable immortal energy!

This was the preciousness of the Primordial World.

Immortal energy, which was difficult to find in other worlds, was everywhere here.

Ordinary people only needed to take a deep breath to draw some immortal energy into their bodies.

This was also the fundamental reason why the lifespan of mortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm far exceeded that of creatures in other realms.

If a wisp of immortal energy appeared in the Shrouding the Heavens World, it would inevitably lead to countless struggles and killings.

But in this Primordial Earthly Immortal Realm, immortal energy was the least scarce thing.

As cultivation deepened, the light in Su Yang's body intertwined, and gradually, patches of black impurities began to seep out of his skin.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a foul smell rushed into his nose.

The stench was overwhelming, making him want to vomit.

He quickly poured several buckets of clear water into a wooden basin, jumped in to wash his body, and finally got rid of the discomfort.

After changing into clean clothes, he began to carefully sense the changes in his body.

"Hmm?"

His brow furrowed slightly, and he noticed a trace of abnormality.

It turned out that, judging from the power fluctuations emanating from his body and his own perception, he hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Instead, it was as if he had taken another step forward in the Shrouding the Heavens World cultivation system!

He hadn't taken the traditional Golden Elixir path, but was constantly growing stronger using the methods of Shrouding the Heavens.

Strange, but with my current cultivation, dealing with ordinary Yao Beasts in the Earthly Immortal Realm shouldn't be a problem, right?

Su Yang mused to himself.

At this moment, the Divine Bridge within Su Yang's body had already been erected, leading directly to the Other Shore!

This meant that he was only one step away from completing the Sea of Suffering Realm cultivation and entering the Dao Palace Realm!

Once he entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm, Su Yang was confident that his strength would at least be comparable to a cultivator at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit.

If he could complete the Dao Palace and enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm, then his combat power would be enough to rival a master of Refining Spirit into Void.

If he went a step further and set foot in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he would have the opportunity to achieve the position of Earthly Immortal in the Earthly Immortal Realm!

However, if he really reached that level, the road ahead would probably become extremely difficult.

After all, the realms divided in the Earthly Immortal Realm were all man-made, while the levels above Earthly Immortal were determined by the Heavenly Dao.

According to Su Yang's speculation, if he could completely cultivate the Shrouding the Heavens method and enter the Great Emperor Realm, then in the Earthly Immortal Realm, he might be able to match True Immortals, or even Golden Immortal-level experts.

But these were still too far away for him now.

Su Yang had only just embarked on the path of cultivation, and thinking too much was useless.

"My current Other Shore Realm cultivation has already given me some ability to protect myself, but it's far from enough."

He took a deep breath and murmured in his heart: "Only by passing through the Four Extremes Secret Realm, completing my cultivation, and entering the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm can I truly have the strength to stand in the Earthly Immortal Realm!"

With this thought, Su Yang no longer hesitated. If he wanted to become stronger quickly, storytelling was the most direct way!

If he could extract elixirs and panaceas from it, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, without the need for daily meditation.

If his cultivation speed were known, who knew how many people would be envious.

Reaching the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit after only one day of cultivation!

In the Earthly Immortal Realm, countless cultivators exhausted their entire lives without being able to step into the gate of Refining Qi into Spirit, and many more were stuck at the threshold of Refining Essence into Qi for their entire lives.

If Su Yang's growth rate were to spread, it would probably cause countless people to be shocked and jealous.

But even so, he was still not satisfied.

Not because he was greedy, but because he knew how dangerous the Primordial World was.

He also knew that his strength, comparable to Refining Qi into Spirit, was enough to protect himself in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but it was still far from enough!

It should be known that there are not only ordinary Yao Beasts in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

There were also real Demon Clans, who could transform into human form and walk the world.

And once they transformed, their strength would roughly reach the Refining Void into Dao, or even the Earthly Immortal Realm!

And these Demon Clans were just the weakest kind in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Some of the powerful Demon Clans even possessed terrifying combat power comparable to True Immortals and Golden Immortals!

Although Su Yang's current realm had reached the Refining Qi into Spirit, it still seemed insignificant in the face of higher levels.

At this time, the tavern that Su Yang often frequented was already crowded with people, with no empty seats.

Everyone had come in admiration, eagerly awaiting Su Yang's appearance, hoping to hear him continue the unfinished story today.

After all, Su Yang had stopped abruptly at the most exciting part yesterday, leaving everyone with lingering thoughts and concerns.

Now, everyone was full of anticipation, eager to know how the story would develop next.

"Yo, Old Wang, didn't you say you weren't coming to listen to the story today? Why are you here again?"

"Who said I wasn't coming?"

"I remember someone said yesterday with certainty that listening again would make him a dog. Why are you here with a small stool again today?"

"It wasn't me anyway, say whatever you want."

"Hey, Old Zhang is here too! How's your old man's health? He's so old, and he still comes to listen to stories."

"Don't you know? I went back and told him the story, but I stopped at the crucial point. The old man got angry on the spot, got straight out of bed, and said that if I didn't explain the rest of the story clearly, he wouldn't let me go even as a ghost."

"Is that too exaggerated?"

At this moment, a graceful woman walked slowly into the tavern. Seeing the crowd, she couldn't help but hesitate.

But after a little thought, she quietly cast a spell and blended into the crowd without anyone noticing.

The City God, who was deep inside the tavern, noticed the immortal energy, looked back, and his face suddenly changed.

"Heavens, she's actually here too!"

The City God was shocked. Su Yang's stories could actually attract such a figure!

Wasn't it said that she had secretly descended to the mortal world some time ago and had been missing ever since?

The City God looked surprised and uncertain, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Should he report this to the Heavenly Court?

You should know that the Jade Emperor has searched the entire Heavenly Court for her, filled with anxiety!

That's right, this woman who secretly descended to Qingshan City to listen to stories is none other than the youngest of the Jade Emperor's seven daughters!

She is Ziwei Fairy, the youngest of the Seven Fairies!

She secretly left the Heavenly Court, and it has been half a month since!

Converted to the mortal realm, it's been more than ten years.

The City God carefully examined her and actually detected a trace of mortal aura on her.

Looking closer, he was shocked to discover that Ziwei's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, as if a life was quietly gestating.

"This is terrible!"

The City God was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand. One of the Seven Fairies, the Jade Emperor's own daughter, had actually formed a bond with a mortal!

Once this matter is revealed, I'm afraid the Three Realms will be turned upside down!

Just as the City God was disturbed, another stunning woman walked gracefully from afar. The City God's eyes narrowed, and his heart was stirred again.

"What day is it today? Even the Jade Rabbit has come?"

The City God's heart tightened, and he secretly felt that the situation was not good.

The Jade Rabbit descended to the mortal realm under the Jade Emperor's orders, specifically to search for Ziwei's whereabouts in the human world.

If she really sensed Ziwei's aura in Qingshan City and learned that Ziwei had married a mortal, and then reported this matter to the Heavenly Court, then his position as City God would probably be over.

The Jade Rabbit looked at the bustling inn in front of her, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This small inn was packed with people today, more than double the number from yesterday!

What surprised her even more was that in this mortal realm, she could actually sense several powerful auras.

Although they haven't entered the ranks of Immortals, their cultivation is already top-notch in the Earthly Immortal Realm. She sensed three or four experts in the Refining Void into Dao stage alone.
