Chapter 353

Although they were unwilling, they knew that the Seven Luminaries Earth Immortal must have had some unavoidable reason for suddenly giving up.

Even the Earth Immortals had given up, so these Supreme Beings naturally dared not linger in the slightest and immediately dispersed.

The endless sea, the Penglai Immortal Island.

In the center of the island, at the Penglai Temple, five figures sat on five futons. There were two men and two women, each with different appearances, yet all possessed an extraordinary and refined aura, giving people a profound and ethereal feeling.

These five individuals were none other than the Innate Osmanthus, the Penglai Earth Immortal, the Earth Immortal Xuan Du, and the Primordial Earth Immortal, along with a figure whose aura was as deep and unfathomable as a mountain.

Innate Osmanthus looked at the unknown figure and spoke first, "With Fellow Daoist Wei joining us, our chances of defeating the Eastern Pole Emperor have greatly increased!"

The fifth Earth Immortal was the founding ancestor of the Zhongtian Wei Dynasty, the Wei Clan Old Ancestor.

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor frowned and said, "The Emperor and the Source of the Realm are the agents of the Heavenly Dao. Even if the five of us join forces, we may not be his match. Moreover, once the war begins, the Emperor will not be isolated and without support. Just among the Earth Immortals I know, there are Zhenwu, Ziwei, Qiyao, Sanyuan, and Wangshi. With the five of us, it would be good enough if we could even contend with these few. How could we possibly fight against the Emperor?"

Although he was invited here, he came in secret and did not reveal any trace of himself, so he was able to leave at his leisure.

"Fellow Daoist, do not worry. Since we have invited you here, we must have some confidence. Although the five of us are no match for the Emperor, one of us can."

"The Earth Immortal Xuan Du said with a smile."

"You mean... Princess Xiao?"

Although the Wei Clan Old Ancestor has not appeared for a long time, Xiao Minghuang is so famous that his descendants often mention him, making it difficult for anyone not to know him.

"Fellow Daoist should also be able to sense that the supreme phenomenon and the blessing of Heaven just now were triggered by Princess Xiao. With her talent and strength, it is not impossible for her to defeat the Eastern Pole Emperor once she reaches the Earth Immortal level!"

Upon hearing this, the Wei Clan Old Ancestor pondered for a moment. Although he had never met Princess Xiao, the extraordinary phenomena and blessings did not lie. He clearly sensed that with such talent, it was only a matter of time before Princess Xiao broke through to the Earth Immortal realm. At that time, even if she could not defeat the Emperor, it would be enough for her to stand on equal footing with him.

"If what you say is true, then the remaining stakes depend on the number of Earth Immortals..."

Upon hearing this, Innate Osmanthus replied, "What you are concerned about is exactly what we are preparing to do."

"We don't know exactly how many chips the Eastern Pole Emperor still holds, but on our side, we have five extremely talented geniuses who may one day become Earth Immortals!"

Innate Osmanthus smiled and said, "Adding the five of us, that makes a total of ten Earth Immortals. This power is enough to sweep across the Five Directions One Realm. Even if the Emperor has hidden Earth Immortals, he absolutely cannot stop them!"

Upon hearing this, the Wei Clan Old Ancestor questioned, "Non-Self don't believe you, fellow Daoist, but to say there are five geniuses capable of becoming Earth Immortals seems a bit too much!"

Becoming an Earth Immortal is incredibly difficult. He lived for countless years, endured numerous hardships, and witnessed the fall of countless peerless geniuses who had amazed the world, before finally reaching the supreme realm of Earth Immortal.

Therefore, he naturally understood how difficult it was to reach the realm of an Earth Immortal!

Such figures, let alone five, even one would be a peerless genius appearing only once in ten thousand years. Yet five of them have appeared at once, and now they are all gathered here?

If the person before him hadn't been an Innate Being at the Earth Immortal realm, he would have scoffed and immediately refuted anyone else who said that!

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you are unaware of this."

The Innate Osmanthus, feigning profundity, asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you know the origins of these five people?"

"Hmm? Could they be reincarnations of immortals? Or their offspring?"

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor shook his head, uttering a guess he himself didn't believe: such people are one in a thousand years, one in ten thousand; how could they possibly gather here together?

Innate Osmanthus slowly said, "These five people are all Princess Xiao's Dao Companion."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't joke!"

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor smiled slightly, showing no sign of believing him.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Princess Xiao had five Dao Companion, but rather that he didn't believe all five of Princess Xiao's Dao Companion possessed the talent to rival that of Earth Immortals.

"Whether it is or not, you will know once you see it with your own eyes, fellow Daoist."

"Innate Osmanthus smiled."

"... We'll see."

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor responded with a smile. He simply couldn't believe that all five of Princess Xiao's Dao Companion possessed the aptitude to rival that of Earth Immortals.

Next, led by the Penglai Earth Immortal, the group of five secretly observed Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and others at an opportune moment.

First, they went to Sheng Bailan's cave.

This is a secluded bamboo forest, nestled within a pond. Sheng Bailan stands on the water's surface, holding a long sword, moving with the grace and agility of a dragon, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

She was dressed in simple white clothes, her figure was slender and graceful, her skin was fair and delicate, her black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her pretty face was calm and serene, giving her an overall air of ethereal beauty.

As she wielded her longsword, soft wisps of sword light, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, permeated the void, bringing a sense of tranquility and entering a serene realm where nothing could disturb its beauty.

In the void, the Innate Osmanthus, the Wei Clan Old Ancestor, and others were hidden within.

"Clear Sword Heart..."

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor commented, "Although his talent is good and he has the potential to become a supreme being, it will be very difficult for him to reach the Earth Immortal level."

"It's all about human effort..."

Innate Osmanthus said calmly, "Let's go see the next one."

Afterwards, the group arrived at Xu Xiuer's cave.

This is a very large mountain peak. There is a door halfway up the mountain. Once inside, you will see a wall full of books.

These books are made of various materials, including paper, bamboo slips, jade, and talismans.

Similarly, they are not from the same period; the most recent is only from this year, while the oldest, judging from their decayed appearance, may not even belong to this era...

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor glanced over the books and quickly moved his gaze to the young girl sitting quietly in the center, reading.

She was around twenty years old, with a beautiful and delicate face. Her almond-shaped eyes held a captivating depth, seemingly containing a mysterious power that drew people in, making it difficult to discern the inner from the outer...

"This is..."

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor was shocked and exclaimed, "The Destiny Dao!"

The Destiny Dao!

It is among the ten Supreme Great Dao, and is known as the most mysterious, the most difficult to comprehend, and the most powerful Cosmic Great Dao. Throughout history, few people have been able to truly comprehend it.

In his youth, he was skeptical and tried to cultivate, but he wasted hundreds of years and still couldn't even get to the beginning!

But the girl before us has already comprehended this supreme Cosmic Great Dao!

He didn't understand the Destiny Dao and couldn't sense the extent to which the girl had comprehended it, but his intuition as an Earth Immortal told him that the girl's understanding of the Destiny Dao must have reached an extremely high level!

Innate Osmanthus introduced, "Her name is Xu Xiuer. She was introduced to the Destiny Dao and has followed this path since she began cultivating, without ever changing it. She has studied it extremely deeply."

Upon hearing this, the Wei Clan Old Ancestor was nearly speechless with astonishment.

Enlightenment through the Destiny Dao?

What does that even mean?!

This means that even before the Drawing Qi into the Body, one has begun to experience this supreme path since the time of a mortal, and has used it as a foundation to embark on the path of cultivation!

This child has a limitless future!

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor was shocked for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

Innate Osmanthus smiled slightly.

Then, the group headed to Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu's cave.

This is a very large island, where a large number of spiritual flowers and herbs are planted. In the mountains and hills, there are also rich veins of spiritual materials Spirit Gold, with abundant and magnificent Spiritual Qi.

Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu's cave dwelling was built in the center of the island.

Here, a towering tree stands tall, its branches coiled like dragons, shading half the sky. Hanging from its branches are bronze fruits, each one shimmering with dazzling light.

This is a bronze divine tree. The fruit that grows on its branches can be used as medicine and for crafting artifacts. It is a versatile spiritual medicine and divine material.

At this moment, beneath the bronze divine tree, a slender and exquisite figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by wisps of crimson mist, her entire body radiating a divine Rosy Clouds.

Before her floated a furnace the size of a palm, its body engraved with numerous intricate and mysterious patterns, as if it possessed a spirit.

Her hands moved in a series of hand seals, and a continuous stream of Sun Power swirled around the alchemy furnace, urging the pills to mature.

A moment later.

Countless rays of Sun Power contracted and flowed into the alchemy furnace. As the last wisp of Sun Power was absorbed by the furnace, it suddenly flipped over, its mouth facing downwards, and nine dark red pills floated out.

"Call..."

She extended her jade-like arm and summoned nine pills, which instantly fell into her palm. They were crystal clear, like blood-red jade, and emitted a captivating fragrance.

"We finally succeeded!"

She breathed a sigh of relief and a look of joy appeared on her face.

With the pill successfully refined, Lin Wanqiu, who had been waiting quietly by her side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ruoshui, how is it?"

"The effect is excellent!"

As Ye Ruoshui packed the nine pills into Brocade Box, she smiled and said, "This is also my first time refining this kind of pill. I didn't expect it to be so successful. I estimate that it should have some effect on even Earth Immortals."

The elixir she is currently refining is called the Life Creation Pill, which has two effects: first, it will cause the person who takes it to be emotionally aroused, unable to extricate themselves, and to have insatiable desires; second, it will greatly increase the person's chances of conceiving offspring.

Although Xiao Minghuang only asked her to refine the Minor Yin-Yang Pill, after analysis, she concluded that the Minor Yin-Yang Pill was just a pretext, and what he really wanted her to refine was the Life Creation Pill.

"Um..."

Lin Wanqiu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Ruoshui, are you really determined to give these pills to His Highness?"

"I will support whatever decision Your Highness makes."

Ye Ruoshui didn't even think before she spoke.

"Eh?" Lin Wanqiu said helplessly, "Ruoshui, don't be in such a hurry. Let me ask you another way... Are you really ready to... have a child for His Highness?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her chest, her cheeks flushed.

After a moment, she raised her head and nodded firmly.

"If this is Your Highness's wish, then I am willing."

"All right..."

Lin Wanqiu was also helpless.

"Then it's up to you..."

Where is Sister Lin?

"I..."

Dark place.

Innate Osmanthus and the Wei Clan Old Ancestor observed secretly.

What are these two little girls saying?

"Earth Immortal Xuan Du asked curiously."

"I advise you, fellow Daoist, not to concern yourself too much with matters between young people."

"Innate Osmanthus smiled."

Just as Ye Ruoshui uttered her first words, she set up a barrier to block their conversation.

Everyone present, including herself, could only see the two talking back and forth, but could not hear what they were saying.

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor wasn't that bored. He didn't care what the two little girls said; what he was concerned about was their talent!

"These two young friends, one possesses the innate Solar Sacred Body and has mastered the Great Dao of the Sun, and the other should be the one who received the blessing of Heaven before, right?"

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor guessed.

"Fellow Daoist is right. How is this person's talent? Does he Dao Integration your expectations?"

"Innate Osmanthus asked with a smile."

"Their talent is unparalleled, a rarity throughout history. But what surprises me even more is that all four of them are gathered together, and all of them are Princess Xiao's Dao Companion... By the way, didn't you say there were five people? We've only met four. Where is the other young friend?"

"She went to the Southern Wilderness with Princess Xiao, and she must have had another good fortune. When she returns, she will surely surprise us greatly."

"Innate Osmanthus explained."

"... I have long heard of Princess Xiao's name, but have never met her. I am truly growing more and more eager to see her."

The Wei Clan Old Ancestor sighed.
