Due to illness and family-related unforeseen circumstances, I have no choice but to take leave.
I apologize to you all for these things.

Chapter 634 Understanding the Cause and Effect of the Dao, Returning North on the Vermilion Bird.
With a single knock from the spirit, all the onlookers were horrified, their hearts filled with unspeakable astonishment.
This was the Lord of the Divine Court, Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven who was only one step away from attaining enlightenment, and he actually submitted.
In an instant, the entire world was shaken. No one had imagined the situation would escalate to this point. The Chaos Body had subdued a Almost-Enlightened One. Who in the world could possibly be his enemy?
" Kunlun is supreme!"
" The Chaos Heavenly Emperor is invincible!"
Cheers erupted from all directions. The powerful figures from various races on the outskirts of the ancient star field were solemn and filled with awe, their bodies trembling.
After this battle, the imperial Dao Fruit of the Golden Age has become clear. Even the Emperor Lord has fallen. Apart from the forbidden zones, the path to enlightenment for the Chaos Body is now invincible!
"Never before seen in history, to be born in this Lifetime is truly a great tragedy..." Rong Chengshi sighed softly, his gray hair fluttering as he gazed at the nebula.
He was born in the Mountain and Sea Realm. In his youth, he was full of ambition and looked down on the world, believing that he could reach the end of the imperial path.
However, after leaving the ancient kingdom, he met Xuanyuan Clan and Shennong.
In that era, many powerful figures rose up, and many outstanding talents emerged. Among them, the most amazing were Xuanyuan Clan and Shennong. Their brilliance shone through the ages, and the enormous gap between them made him lose all hope.
Feeling inferior to others, he chose to risk entering the forbidden zone, hoping to find an opportunity to defy fate.
After enduring the torment of a near-death experience, he succeeded, obtained the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and thus stepped into the realm of Quasi-Emperor.
However, with the existence of the Yanhuang, even Quasi-Emperor would find it difficult to claim supremacy.
After that, he went far beyond the realm and fought a battle with the Emperor Lord, nearly perishing.
But his luck was unstoppable; he rose from the ashes once more, standing tall at the Quasi-Emperor Eighth Heaven, able to overlook all realms. There are few such masters in the Human World...
Even when the Emperor Lord attacked again and took away the Ginseng Fruit Tree, his resolve to follow the Dao never wavered.
He firmly believed that he was no weaker than his opponent; what he lacked was only magical power and realm. In a battle between equals, the outcome was still uncertain.
However, now, faced with a Chaos Body that transcends all reason, everything from the past has vanished.
I felt the same way when Xuanyuan and Shennong rose to power, but this time it's even deeper.
Not a corpse of an emperor, not an ancient person, but a young prodigy whose youth sends shivers down one's spine.
Even when the opponent defeated the Emperor Lord, they didn't use the laws of Chaos; they won solely through swordsmanship...
Suppressing her complex emotions, Rong Chengshi walked forward, determined to unravel the cause and effect.
It's about Ginseng Fruit Tree!
This is the immortal root that is connected to his path of cultivation.
It's a bit shameless, after all, this tree was seized by the Emperor Lord and has effectively changed hands, now belonging to Su Yu.
But he still wanted to give it a try...
Seeing Rong Chengshi leave, Baopuzi, Ge Xuan, Zhuangzi, and Zhang Jiao exchanged glances, shook their heads, and remained silent, choosing not to get involved.
They could understand Rong Chengshi's actions.
After all, the sacred objects involved are too important.
A mature Dao Realm Immortal Tree, with six Ginseng Fruit on it, not long before they ripen.
Such a divine object is enough to drive countless people mad...
If they were in their shoes, they would also find it difficult to make the decision.
However, their situation differed from that of the Rong Chengshi; they were able to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm, which is now known as West Kunlun.
Decades ago, Star Sovereign came here and invited them to court.
Rong Chengshi also wanted to verify the Heavenly Heart and pursue the imperial Dao Fruit. For him, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was indispensable if he wanted to attain the Dao. He had become too attached to that immortal root...
Other onlookers also noticed this, and in a void, several old Quasi-Emperor were exchanging telepathic messages.
"Isn't Zhen Yuanzi afraid of angering that person?"
"It would be the same for you. If you don't go, you'll get nothing; if you go, you might even get Ginseng Fruit."
Several elderly men immediately shook their heads, deeply moved.
They are among the oldest living people of our time, with bone ages exceeding eight thousand years. They live in a semi-secluded state and rarely appear in public.
However, this battle alarmed them, as it involved some old acquaintances...
The final result was as expected: the Chaos Body won, but the ensuing changes left them with mixed feelings.
Two thousand years ago, the Rong Chengshi was renowned throughout the universe, and even their defeat at the hands of the Emperor Lord did not diminish their prestige.
These old men were stuck at the first or Second Heaven of the First Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and now they are very old and can't even touch the threshold of the Ultimate Realm of the Imperial Dao.
Rong Chengshi is about to reach the pinnacle, and there is truly hope for him to attain enlightenment.
However, given the current era, it's truly a pity.
After all, who could have predicted that Chaos Body would emerge in the last hundred years, and rise so quickly? A hundred years is less than the time they spent in seclusion, yet the opponent has already reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Emperor status. This is truly unbelievable.
Upon reaching the Quasi-Emperor, he dared to confront the Supreme directly, using a celestial artifact to intercept the Imperial Weapon of the Forbidden Zone.
Now, he even suppresses the Emperor Lord with his swordsmanship, making him unmatched by anyone else.
On the other hand, in the face of such an invincible Quasi-Emperor, Rong Chengshi's desire to attain enlightenment far surpasses theirs...
A hazy glow shone within the Chaos mist.
With a flick of his sleeve, the gray-robed youth unleashed nine crimson True Phoenix from his palm, swirling with a hazy aura—the purest Life force, containing the essence of heaven and earth.
This is not the secret of the word "zhe", but the nirvana scroll of the True Phoenix Art.
Strands of rosy light flowed down, creating a gentle scene that slowly enveloped the Nanli Vermilion Bird, forming a cocoon to heal its body. Within the crimson mist, its pair of crystal-clear eyes were as deep as the starry sea, radiating a mysterious power as it rapidly recovered to its peak condition.
With a "hum," its Crimson Feather flashed, and holy light permeated the air, causing all its bleeding wounds to congeal. Moreover, its muscles and bones pulsated rhythmically, like a divine melody, as if it were about to heal completely.
The next moment, the Vermilion Bird, its body covered in red light, let out a long cry. Its broken bones were mended, its flesh regenerated, and its bright red feathers were wrapped in chains of law, turning this ancient star field crimson, as if it had been reborn from the ashes.
Su Yu took a step forward and stood atop the Vermilion Bird's head. During this process, a shower of brilliant red light fell, crystal clear and carrying dazzling auspicious radiance.
Those were fragments of the Red Dragon Armor, now back in Vermilion Bird's hands.
Not only that, but also descended a Crimson Flame Divine Furnace, which connected with the Vermilion Bird's primordial spirit and merged with it. In an instant, an extreme aura emanated, and the flames soared into the sky, almost freezing this star field.
A Supreme Artifact is both a blessing and a constraint.
Vermilion Bird lowered her gaze, silently refining the Lihuo Divine Furnace, while simultaneously comprehending a wisp of the True Phoenix Imprint.
His fate took a turn.
Just as the master and servant were about to leave, an old Daoist priest with gray hair appeared in the distance; it was Rong Chengshi.
Facing a sage, Su Yu remained calm. Before the other party could speak, he took out the Ginseng Fruit Tree without any lingering affection in his eyes, returning it to its original owner without even taking the nearly ripe fruit from the tree.
"Fellow Daoist..."
Rong Chengshi's expression was complicated, as if she had lost something.
"I encountered a sword inscription left by a senior in Kunlun, which has been of great benefit to me." Su Yu bowed, his dark red hair fluttering, his black eyes carrying Eternal tranquility, and spoke of an event from the past.
He didn't pay much attention to the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
It's just an Undying Immortal Root.
I don't lack it myself; the corresponding Divine Medicine and extraordinary phenomena were also cultivated through the Ginseng Fruit.
Moreover, even if it were returned to Rong Chengshi, they wouldn't be able to keep it.
Only the Imperial Dao Laws can hold the Immortal Medicine; otherwise, even those on the Almost-Enlightened One the Divine Medicine would be powerless to detect its trace.
Then the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, tearing through the starry sky as it flew into the distance, disappearing into the darkness...
A white light shimmered, Ginseng Fruit Tree emitted a delicate fragrance, possessing a unique charm.
The immortal root swayed, seemingly communicating with the Daoist beside it, as if it wanted to leave and follow the person from before.
However, having provided shelter for so many years, it will leave only after the fruit has ripened.
Having received the essence of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Rong Chengshi was filled with melancholy. With a sigh, she departed with the immortal root...
On this day, the world was shaken and the entire world was astonished.
The Quasi-Emperor battle has come to an end.
The Chaos Body subdued the Emperor Lord without using Emperor Weapon or immortal artifacts, relying solely on its own strength.
The news shocked everyone. That was the Emperor Lord, the Vermilion Bird Supreme, the founder of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm Divine Court, Almost-Enlightened One, yet he was defeated by the Chaos Body.
This was even more impactful than when Su Yu withstood the attack of the Supreme during his tribulation. This time, without the aid of immortal artifacts or even the use of Emperor Weapon, the Chaos Body of the Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven defeated the Emperor Lord of the Ninth Heaven.
Who would believe such a victory?
But it actually happened, and everyone was stunned.
All races in the universe were greatly shaken and increasingly alarmed.
After learning that the Emperor Lord was not dead and that he had become the Vermilion Bird Hall Master in Kunlun, the Divine Court quickly changed its stance.
The first thing was to abandon the "court name" and refer to it as the Vermilion Bird Domain.
Subsequently, many sages came forward to advocate for Kunlun, stating that the two sides were originally on good terms.
Now that His Excellency has entered Kun Court, it is in accordance with the will of Heavenly Mandate and the great current of destiny. The cultivators of the original Divine Court are like those who have broken through the clouds and seen the blue sky. They are destined to follow the Vermilion Bird Hall Master and His Majesty Su Yu to establish an unparalleled Immortal Dynasty.
This attitude of ignoring insults and showing no shame earned the secret contempt of many clan leaders, but also a hidden envy and resentment.
If Su Yu were to kill the Emperor Lord, the vast Divine Court would collapse overnight, and everyone would be able to get a piece of the pie.
But now that the Emperor Lord is not dead, but has instead become a high-ranking member of Kunlun, who dares to touch his forces? Who can touch them?
For most people, this news isn't good.
The city lords and protectors along the ancient road were also filled with emotion.
