Compared to these two, Su Yu really has no advantage whatsoever. The strongest physiques in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, the Immortal Phoenix Body, and the Chaos Body.
Since there are no cheat codes to aid cultivation, Xiao Ye will still stay true to the original story. However, a different path will appear in the Saint Realm, so the pace can be accelerated a bit.
[3] Some readers have pointed out that the previous text has been changed. The three Phoenix Fruits and the True Dragon Fruit were only made using Dragon Pearls and Phoenix Pearls, similar to the Sacred Fruit of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. The others were sealed in the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
That's all. I'm still very sorry. I updated 220,000 words in the past two months, and this month I even received a reward from a patron. I am Xiao Ye grateful for everyone's encouragement, but I've been a bit lacking in updates. I'm ashamed. I'll leave everything for tomorrow.
Spring weather is really strange. It's sunny at noon, but the wind is biting cold in the afternoon. Schools are closed now, and it seems the epidemic is getting serious again. Please take care of yourselves and don't stay up late. Your health is the most important thing.
I've made about 6,000 yuan in the past two months since it went on sale. My monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and I update 220,000 words every month.
In any case, at least I can ease the burden on my family a little, so I guess I'm not completely useless except for being a virgin anymore.
I suddenly understand Mo Shui's feelings. If writing novels were a full-time job, the pressure would be unimaginable.
Maybe it's because graduation is approaching, I feel lost and uncertain about the future. I often find myself wondering, what can someone like me, a complete idiot, possibly do? That's why I haven't been updating as much.
Wishing myself and you all good health and peace.
Chapter 335 Jiuyou
In a corner of the Cloud Palace, Duan De kept retreating, being relentlessly pursued by a handsome young man.
The boy, dressed in pure white, Wuchen no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. He was as radiant as a banished Exiled Immortal, otherworldly and refined. Nine dragon-like energies rose from his feet, displaying an extraordinary aura.
"Daoist Master, do not be alarmed. I just want to know the cause and effect between you and Cao Yusheng!" Xia Jiuyou approached, her hair flying, making her look ethereal and otherworldly.
Her gaze was deep as she silently observed the fat Daoist priest, seemingly trying to discern the hidden depths beneath his outward appearance.
"Young man, Heavenly Master Cao and I only met by chance, there's no connection between us. You've probably come to the wrong person." Duan De was extremely annoyed, but he forced a smile on his face, laughing and trying to find a chance to escape.
However, the two gray-robed old men surrounded him, leaving him no way to escape. They had set up a concealment array to keep this place hidden from outsiders, so even if he screamed his lungs out, it would be useless.
Xia Jiuyou's lips curled slightly, his eyebrows raised, and a mocking expression appeared on his face as he laughed, "I saw you once three years ago at the Great Qian Royal Mausoleum."
"I was cultivating in the Southern Region three years ago, young friend, you may have mistaken me for someone else." Duan De's eyes darted around as he denied the white-robed youth's statement.
Seeing that the other party refused to admit it, Xia Jiuyou's face turned cold, and his dragon aura surged around him, making him seem like he was about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.
"Let me see Cao Yusheng, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, I will capture you today and hand you over to the Great Qian Dynasty."
"I was indeed in the Southern Region three years ago, as many of my fellow cultivators know..."
Duan De protested his innocence and tried to make one last effort, but he immediately fell silent.
As the fat Daoist priest radiated a rich golden light, Xia Jiuyou stroked the ancient artifact in her hand, laughing heartily, her bright red lips and snow-white teeth gleaming with a crystalline luster.
This is a very small ancient basin, only three inches tall, yet it can hold everything, which is quite terrifying. It is ancient and weathered, with two characters engraved on it in divine patterns: "Gathering Treasures".
"This magical artifact of mine can reveal the true nature of a king. What other reason do you have? Or are you also a prince of Central Province?"
Seeing that the other side had taken out a secret treasure, Duan De was somewhat helpless. The clothes he was wearing came from the Great Qian Emperor four thousand years ago. He was caught red-handed, and now he couldn't run away.
"I once received a teaching from a senior..."
"You damned tomb raider, still trying to deny it? Take off your clothes! You even took the inner armor of a dead man! I want to see how many treasures you still have!" Xia Jiuyou's fierce eyes flashed as he stepped forward, trying to find the Kingly Dao magic weapon on Duan De's body.
"No, I admit it, I admit it!"
The fat Daoist priest, his face contorted in a mournful expression, clutched his sleeve tightly, his face contorted with pain, and pleaded, "Young friend, let's change the terms. I really don't know Heavenly Master Cao well. When I first met him, he was still unknown, and now he's the Palace Master of the Chaos Palace. I truly can't do that."
He's now kicking himself for it; he shouldn't have let a little bit of Immortal Platform divine material cloud his judgment, and now he's suffered a huge loss.
"Not familiar? Can't do it?" Xia Jiuyou, with her red lips and white teeth, let out a cold snort, and stretched out a snow-white palm to grab Duan De, intending to restrain him.
Seeing his opponent's unbridled attack, Duan De's eyes showed a struggle; he wanted to resist, but ultimately he held back.
He recognized Xia Jiuyou's identity and also knew of Gai Jiuyou's existence.
In an instant, dragon energy roared and divine light flowed. Duan De's Daoist robe was mostly torn apart, revealing his crystal-clear inner armor.
This armor is made of jade pieces strung together with Divine Silkworm silk. It is radiant and clearly not an ordinary item. This is the secret of the Central Province Dynasty - the Divine Thread Jade Robe.
The jade burial suit exudes an ancient charm. Although it has a luster, it looks as if it is covered with some dust, clearly indicating that it is an antique that has gone through a long period of time.
"The Emperor's Robe, the Longevity Lock, you even dug up Xiang Yufei's grave?"
Xia Jiuyou was somewhat surprised. Looking at the purple-gold lock around Duan De's neck, her eyes grew brighter, wanting to uncover all the fat Daoist's secrets.
There were no Dao patterns or divine power fluctuations on the purple-gold lock; it looked very ordinary. It was only engraved with a picture of longevity, depicting an old man with long eyebrows sitting under an ancient tree.
However, the origin of this divine lock is extremely significant. Countless ages ago, the Buddha of the Western Desert personally forged a purple-gold Demon-Subduing Pestle for the Buddhist Sect to protect the path. Its power is boundless and unimaginable.
Before the Demon-Subduing Pestle was forged, the piece of Purple-Gold Divine Iron was repeatedly refined by the Buddha, imbued with boundless compassion and merit, and accompanied him through a long period of arduous cultivation, thus gaining divine power.
Later, the Demon-Subduing Pestle took shape, and a small piece of Purple-Gold Divine Iron remained. A Bodhisattva collected it, and it was passed down through generations. Arhats of all ages refined it into a lock that could suppress one's own life.
Nine thousand years ago, Xiang Yufei was invincible throughout the Central Province. At that time, the Big Dipper was his and Gai Jiuyou's domain. Many important figures were optimistic about him, and this purple-gold lock also fell into his hands.
Seeing Xia Jiuyou relentlessly pursuing him, her eyes fixed on his Longevity Lock, Duan De looked utterly dejected and said, "Young friend, stop. I admit defeat."
"It would have been better if you had done this earlier." With a flash of light, Xia Jiuyou withdrew her dragon energy, raised the corners of her mouth, her expression arrogant, and her clear eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
She was still somewhat unsatisfied and very curious about the Unscrupulous Daoist Priest.
The Central Province are rich in dragon energy and have countless dynasties. In addition to the four Immortal of the Foreign Realm divine dynasties, there are also ten dynasties founded by the Great Saint, one of which is the Great Qian Dynasty.
The other party was able to overcome numerous blockades to enter the Great Qian Mausoleum and even obtained the Longevity Lock from Xiang Yufei.
Although she despised tomb raiding, she had to admit that this fat guy was indeed extraordinary.
The next moment, outside the Cloud Palace, a dazzling beam of light pierced the sky, carrying a wisp of smoke, almost like a dream.
Xia Jiuyou looked up, her eyes filled with confusion. She knew the layout of this place very well. The seventy-two heavenly palaces were divided into two formations: the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Fiend. The Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Formation, in particular, was extremely powerful and could kill Great Power at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven.
"Is it the Green Lotus King or Cao Yusheng who can disregard the Thirty-Six Palaces Formation here?"
She grabbed Duan De, leaped into the air, and created a rainbow of light, trying to follow him, but was quickly stopped by two old servants.
"Step back, who is the master and who is the servant?" Xia Jiuyou shouted coldly. Although she was extremely beautiful with red lips and white teeth, she also had a terrifying aura.
An old man in gray robes earnestly advised, "Young master, this place is not like the Central Province; you must not act rashly."
Seeing the two blocking his way, Xia Jiuyou transformed into a cloud and disappeared into the Void, quickly breaking through their blockade.
Now that Xia Jiuyou has entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, her speed is extremely fast. The two old men who Dragon Transformation Nine Changes are afraid to make a move and can only watch her leave.
"Alas, what should we do?" the old man sighed, somewhat worried about the young master's safety.
Another old man pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Xia Ye is also here. He has a close relationship with Cao Yusheng, so we can only ask him."
"However, the young master has always harbored hatred for the Great Xia Dynasty."
"This is the only way; the young master's safety is paramount..."
Above the vast ocean, the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo avatar traveled with Wang Teng. With a thought, he sensed a familiar aura and felt a sense of doubt.
" Duan De, this is a unique aura. Is it Xia Jiuyou? How did these two end up together?"
A wisp of Chaos energy flew out, Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo avatar left behind a pure energy incarnation. Then, Su Yu led Wang Teng into the Phoenix Blood Divine Hall, waiting for the main body to emerge from seclusion...
Seeing Su Yu waiting for them in the clouds, Xia Jiuyou felt a surge of joy. She had been searching for a longevity artifact for Gai Jiuyou, and now there was finally a glimmer of hope.
"Currently, among the Five Regions, only Cao Yusheng possesses the ancient Divine Medicine. No matter the cost, I must obtain Divine Medicine."
Upon seeing the Unscrupulous Daoist again, Su Yu recalled past events and felt a pang of nostalgia. He spoke gently, saying, "Daoist Master Duan, it's been a long time."
"Greetings, Chaos Palace Master "
Xia Jiuyou and Duan De were very respectful, bowing deeply in greeting.
"No need for formalities." Su Yu's eyes flickered as he glanced at Xia Jiuyou.
He was curious about Gai Jiuyou's current state. That person had once been close to achieving enlightenment, but ultimately failed to succeed, as he was blocked by the Azure Emperor's imperial path.
Although Gai Jiuyou currently deficient in blood and energy and has fallen to the peak of the Great Saint Sage realm, he is still capable of unleashing the power of Quasi-Emperor. Killing one or two Ancient Emperor Clans would not be a problem for him, making him arguably the strongest person in the Big Dipper Ancient Star outside of the forbidden zones.
Chapter 336 Tempering the Dao Heart
"Hahaha, I saw five years ago that you were extraordinary, Northern Emperor and the Central Emperor. Now the Palace Master is the number one genius in the Five Regions..." Upon seeing Su Yu, Duan De felt a little uneasy, but on the surface he remained calm, flattering him with a flushed face, appearing as if he were honored.
Seeing the ruthless attitude of this reincarnated Heavenly Venerable, Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he chuckled, "Daoist, I have failed to properly entertain you today at the Chaos Palace. Tonight, I, Cao, will host a banquet to entertain you."
"Haha, how could I possibly accept such a reward? I have done nothing to deserve this." Relieved by Su Yu's positive response, Duan De's eyes lit up again, eagerly anticipating the evening's feast.
"Perhaps I will need your help in the future, Daoist Master. Please do not be so formal." Thinking of Duan De's encounter with Ye Fan and the Black Emperor, Su Yu felt a sense of anticipation.
If we add Dragon Horse, the F4 of "Shrouding the Heavens " will be complete.
Seeing the familiar relationship between the two, Xia Jiuyou became curious about the cause and effect. What role did Cao Yusheng play when the Azure Emperor's tomb was created?
Duan De hadn't forgotten his promise, and introduced Xia Jiuyou to Su Yu, "This one is a prodigy from Central Province..."
"I know why she came here. Daoist, please rest first." Su Yu smiled, exuding a warm and gentle aura like sunshine.
He sent out a divine thought, and soon a rift opened in the Void. An old servant with gray hair walked out of the space and led Duan De away.
Seeing that the extra people had disappeared, Xia Jiuyou became a little nervous; she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Dressed in snow-white robes, Xia Jiuyou's stunning beauty radiated a heroic spirit. Compared to other women, she possessed a less delicate air. Her eyes were like water, and her hair danced in the wind. She went straight to the point, saying, "Palace Master, I want to buy that incomplete Divine Medicine you possess."
"What will you offer in exchange?" Su Yu changed his expression and said calmly.
Xia Jiuyou's eyes lit up, sensing the other party's deeper meaning, and she quickly said, "Whatever the Palace Master desires, I am willing to give everything, even my life."
"Giving everything... I know who you're seeking the Divine Medicine for. I can give you a chance." Su Yu said calmly as he strolled among the white clouds.
Xia Jiuyou was overjoyed, never expecting everything to go so smoothly and confidently.
She said firmly, "Please Yanming, Your Highness."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "In your opinion, how many people in the world today can be called geniuses?"
" Wang Teng, Xiang Yufei, Jue Youqing, Qi Lin, the Palace Master, and me."
Xia Jiuyou was exceptionally beautiful, with radiant skin and clear eyes. She was incredibly arrogant, believing herself to be comparable to these five.
"I've fought all of those people you mentioned. Each of them possesses the power of the Eight Prohibitions. What do you think of yourself?" Su Yu's eyes revealed a hint of amusement; he was quite interested in this girl who had never been beaten.
Although Xia Jiuyou is arrogant, he is still not as arrogant as Ji Haoyue back then. Not only was Ji Haoyue arrogant, but his maids were too.
However, after being defeated by him, Big Moon was spurred on by his shame and became even more determined in his Dao heart. His future is limitless. In Su Yu's opinion, his brother-in-law has the potential to become Quasi-Emperor.
