Topping the Charts! Qingshan Gou Di Su Tanmeng

Seven-colored auspicious clouds, brilliant and gorgeous, like colorful cotton candy.

Xiao Yao really wanted to touch them, but his Divine Beast Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was flying rapidly ahead. He couldn't lose it!

Otherwise, he would have lost ten million low-grade spirit stones for nothing.

However, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox seemed to know Xiao Yao's thoughts and didn't continue flying forward. Instead, it stopped.

"Ying ying ying!"

Xiao Yao also stopped and said, "Are you asking me to touch these seven-colored auspicious clouds?"

The glowing Nine-tailed Celestial Fox nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao reached out to touch the seven-colored auspicious clouds but found they were no different from ordinary clouds, with no substance to touch at all.

He had previously thought it would be something tangible like the somersault cloud in Journey to the West!

Dispelling his curiosity, Xiao Yao realized this was a good opportunity to catch the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

He pretended to touch the seven-colored auspicious clouds with great curiosity, but in reality, he was slowly approaching the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox floating in the air ahead.

Although his speed was slow, the distance between him and the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was indeed getting closer!

After a while, Xiao Yao felt he had reached the optimal position to catch the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

Without any hesitation, he lunged at the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox with all his might, displaying a magnificent aura.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox tilted its head slightly, then zipped forward, its speed completely surpassing Xiao Yao's pounce.

Therefore, Xiao Yao still failed to catch the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, but he didn't fall heavily to the ground either, as he was a cultivator at the peak of the seventh level of the Sea Opening Realm.

If he couldn't even control his body like this, he might as well give up cultivating.

"Little fox! Why are you doing this to me?" Xiao Yao stood firm and questioned loudly with annoyance.

His indignant look made it seem as though the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox had abandoned him after using him.

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox stopped, turned around, and called out to Xiao Yao, "Ying ying ying!"

It wasn't mockery, but rather like it was conveying something. Xiao Yao realized the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was leading the way.

But why was it leading him?

Xiao Yao extended his Spiritual Sense and found that the range it covered was extremely small, roughly a path about one and a half meters wide.

If the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox hadn't been flying ahead, he wouldn't have known how to proceed.

He then thought that if he stepped on empty air here, he would inevitably fall, and the only outcome would be complete annihilation.

At this moment, Xiao Yao's body trembled. He thought he would be safe after reaching the summit, completely unaware of the deadly trap that lay ahead.

"Thank you, little fox!"

After expressing his gratitude, a question arose in Xiao Yao's mind: why was the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox so familiar with this place?

It was as if this was the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's own home.

But he didn't dwell on it further, because with the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox leading the way, he would soon uncover the mystery.

There was silence for the rest of the journey, only the unhidden sound of footsteps.

Finally, Xiao Yao passed through the seven-colored auspicious clouds. His gaze swept across, and before him stood a magnificent palace complex, nestled atop the clouds.

A gas denser than spiritual energy permeated the area. Xiao Yao suspected it might be immortal energy.

So, were the palaces before him the legendary immortal palaces?

"There really are immortal palaces?" Xiao Yao exclaimed in astonishment.

According to ancient history books, immortals were active in this world a long, long time ago.

But for some unknown reason, all the immortals were recalled to the Immortal Realm, and from then on, there were no more immortals in this world.

Of course, quite a few incredibly powerful figures in the cultivation world had achieved immortality!

However, after they became immortals, they were immediately forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm by a mysterious power and could not remain in this world.

Because of this, the strongest beings in this world were cultivators of the Emperor Tier.

Therefore, immortal palaces should not exist.

Yet, one appeared before him now, which caused a huge shock to him, who had read ancient history.

"Ying ying ying!"

The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's cry interrupted Xiao Yao's thoughts.

Looking at it, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was wagging its nine golden-orange tails, looking like it was saying, "Follow me quickly."

Xiao Yao immediately walked towards the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

After walking for a while longer, he saw a stone tablet inscribed with the powerful characters "Qingshan Gou Di."

Xiao Yao's eyes narrowed, his slender body froze, and his handsome face was filled with astonishment.

Although he wasn't 100% certain, he was very confident that this was not an immortal palace, but the residence of Qingshan Gou Di.

But even if it were just Qingshan Gou Di, it was enough to deeply shock him.

Because Qingshan Gou Di Su Tanmeng is currently the terrifying existence ranked first on the Great Emperor Ranking and also ranked first on the Empress Ranking.

Qingshan Gou Di specializes in cultivating the The Way of Prudence, thus she rarely appears in the world, and to this day, no one has found the exact location of her Great Emperor's Dao Field.

Therefore, the book once used this sentence to highlight just how much of a "gou" Qingshan Gou Di is:

Who stands at the peak of the The Way of Prudence? One glimpse of Qingshan and enlightenment is gone!

What truly made Qingshan Gou Di famous was that every time she appeared, she would instantly kill her opponents, no matter how powerful they were.

This naturally led many cultivators to worship her, and the number of cultivators wanting to become her disciple was countless.

So, is this really Qingshan Gou Di's Great Emperor's Dao Field?

Xiao Yao felt doubtful. After all, it was very normal for the extremely reclusive Qingshan Gou Di to set up a fake Great Emperor's Dao Field.

"Ying ying ying!"

Hearing the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's cry, Xiao Yao knew it was urging him to follow.

Without hesitation, he walked towards the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's location.

As soon as he passed through the gate, he heard a displeased voice, "That's your disciple. I don't want to get involved in karmic ties with others, understand?"

Dongfang Xuetong, outside the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, frowned slightly, her expression quite solemn.

She had thought Sister Susu would agree to her request, but she had directly refused.

Then, wouldn't her disciple Xiao Yao, who was supposed to go with her to the Demonic Path headquarters to fight in over a month, be in grave danger?

Ultimately, it was because her strength did not reign supreme in the world.

At this moment, Dongfang Xuetong felt immense self-blame, and at the same time, she made up her mind, replying, "Sister Susu, I understand! So, in over a month, even if I die in battle, I will never let my disciple die before me."

Su Tanmeng's expression turned solemn. She didn't reply, inwardly even resenting why she had gotten involved in karmic ties with the Lotus Sword Emperor back then.

If not, this situation wouldn't have happened.

Suddenly, a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox flew over from the front. It pounced into Su Tanmeng's equally fluffy and soft nine golden-orange tails with a face full of smiles.

"Eh! My clone that I placed under the Dao Fruit Tree has returned? Shouldn't it be maintaining the integrity of the formation?"

At this moment, Xiao Yao was hiding behind the wall, his heart pounding.

Damn! It's actually the Great Emperor's Dao Field of the real Qingshan Gou Di!

No!

That's not what I should be concerned about. What I should be concerned about is that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox is Qingshan Gou Di's clone, and I treated her clone as a spirit beast. This is f***ed!

I have to escape! If I don't escape now, I'm dead for sure!

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yao began to tiptoe towards the gate.

Just then, a gentle yet stern female voice sounded in his ears.

"Yo! Young man, you've come all this way, why aren't you coming to see this Emperor, but instead trying to sneak away?"

Xiao Yao trembled all over, and immediately started to run, saying urgently, "We're not close! No thanks! No thanks!"
