Su Yu and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family appeared in the sky, with Su Yu looking down at the red earth.

Here, there is nothing; the earth is crimson red, as it has always been since ancient times, and desolation is its Eternal theme.

The ground was covered with gravel, and the occasional rocky hills were as red as blood, as silent as tombstones.

The vast land was empty, a thousand miles of crimson red, stretching as far as the eye could see, with occasional gusts of sand and dust rising up.

The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family looked at this vast expanse of red soil with a solemn expression and advised, "Your Highness, this place is not to be ventured too far. Many Supreme Peak Holy Lord and emperors of the Central Province have perished here."

Su Yu nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know more about the Primordial Ancient Mine than you do. This time we're just wandering around the perimeter, not going deep inside."

"That's good!" The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family was relieved.

Su Yu summoned a broken and tattered pottery bowl, and flew towards the Primordial Ancient Mine with the broken bowl on his head, followed by the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family.

At the far end of the earth, endless starlight spills down like flowing water, cascading towards the ground.

The starlight from across the sky converges into a river; at the edge of heaven and earth, the starlight, like water, stretches out in a vast expanse of white, falling to the ground and converging in one place.

Su Yu stopped outside the Primordial Ancient Mine. The broken bowl above his head emitted a faint glow. He examined the earth's vein patterns and avoided dangerous places along the way.

The two did not walk fast. Su Yu activated his Source Heaven Divine Eyes and looked at the ground. The Phoenix Blood Red Gold he was looking for was outside the Primordial Ancient Mine. They walked for hundreds of miles in this way.

Suddenly Su Yu chuckled softly, "Finally, I've found it—the place where the Yue Hua gathers."

On the ground, there is a blood moon, echoing the Mingyue in the sky, drawing in a sky full of clear light, but after entering the ground, it turns crimson.

It was a crescent moon stained with blood, exuding an aura of extreme yin and softness; the more one looked at it, the more chilling it became.

Looking at the blood moon, Su Yu said softly, "If the Crimson Moon Grotto is ahead, then the Fallen Sun Ridge should be here too. We've finally found it—the place where Emperor Hengyu forged his weapons!"

The blood-stained ground, lying across the earth, is called the Crimson Moon Grotto. It is an extremely yin and yin-dominant, perilous place. Those who gather resources near this place must detour around it. It is an extremely terrifying Calamity Land.

The sun sank and fell below the ridge, which became known as Fallen Sun Ridge. It is a demonic land of extreme heat and yang, burning everything in the world. Even emperors must avoid it, making it one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Seeing even one of them is enough to astound the world; the simultaneous existence of both is an extremely rare and powerful place, unparalleled in the world since ancient times. Only three such places have been seen throughout history, making them virtually impossible to decipher.

However, this demonic land was used by Emperor Hengyu for refining artifacts. He extracted the supreme yang energy and used it to create the Solar Divine Furnace, greatly reducing the danger of this place.

Su Yu, carrying the broken pottery bowl, walked towards Fallen Sun Ridge, with the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family following behind.

Soon, they saw an ancient building, towering and majestic, with a plaque on it bearing the two characters " Hengyu " in vigorous and powerful strokes, exuding an aura of soaring into the sky.

This was the former residence of Emperor Hengyu. Although it is covered in dust, it still stands tall, with a Daoist aura flowing through it.

On the other side of the ancient building, skeletons were piled up into a small mountain. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, the bones were still shimmering with light. There were at least a hundred skeletons, most of them humanoid, but clearly not Human Clan.

Su Yu glanced at them and realized that these broken bones were nothing but empty shells; all their internal essence had been lost, and they could be turned to dust with the slightest external force.

The two entered the ancient building. The main hall was very old, very tall and spacious, giving a sense of endless grandeur. There was a lot of ash on the ground, making it pitch black.

Su Yu activated his Source Heaven Divine Eyes and carefully examined the main hall. Soon, he saw a magnificent crimson color, within which the divine object shone brightly, even more brilliantly than the real Taiyang.

Su Yu took a pitch-black stone into his hand, then shattered its outer layer, revealing the Phoenix Blood Red Gold within. Instantly, thousands of auspicious lights and countless Divine Rainbow filled the hall, radiating dazzling brilliance.

The Phoenix Blood Red Gold radiated a beautiful glow in Su Yu's hand, incomparably enchanting and dazzling, breathtakingly beautiful. Its crystalline surface flowed with divine light, and the faint outlines of the Divine Phoenix were imprinted on it, mysterious and magnificent.

"It's a pity it's a bit small." Su Yu sighed. After seeing the two-meter-tall Five-Colored Immortal Gold Stele, the fist-sized Immortal Gold could no longer move him.

The ultimate divine artifact weighs over ten thousand jin (a unit of weight), and this fist-sized piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold weighs over ten thousand jin.

Su Yu weighed the piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold in his hand, put it into the broken bowl, and then led the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family out of the main hall.

The original " Undying Heavenly Emperor Scripture " was also forged from Phoenix Blood Red Gold, and it was quite heavy. The two combined were enough to forge a Immortal Gold battle sword.

Outside the main hall, Su Yu gazed at the ancient plaque hanging there, the two characters " Hengyu " carrying an indescribable true meaning, incomparably profound and sharp.

He said to the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, "Carefully comprehend this plaque. If you can grasp even a trace of its ultimate essence, it will be enough to help you break through your cultivation realm!"

Then Su Yu stood still, summoned the Divine Furnace of Lihuo Divine Furnace, and revived his Chaos Origin, trying to draw upon all the Dao and see if he could stimulate the Dao's intent within the plaque.

He exuded Chaos of ethereal, chaotic energy as he gazed silently at the two characters " Hengyu ".

The crystal-clear divine furnace trembled slightly, intertwined with the plaque. Suddenly, the plaque emitted a faint light, releasing a vast and profound Dao essence that enveloped the two of them.

Su Yu's mind became increasingly clear and ethereal. He sensed an extreme aura, swirling with Chaos energy, its aura as deep and boundless as the sea, rippled with inexplicable patterns.

He unleashed a wisp of the Great Emperor's divine might, forming a divine seal that manifested as a Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, emanating a terrifying aura of the ultimate Dao. This true intent stirred his Battle Saint Method, greatly enhancing his understanding of the secret of the "Battle" character.

Finally, the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar dissipated, and Su Yu also emerged from the deep state of enlightenment, while the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family had already completed their comprehension.

"This ultimate essence has drawn my 'Fighting' secret. Was it passed down from him among the Nine Secrets of the Jiang Family?"

Suppressing his suspicions, Su Yu glanced at the ancient plaque, then took it down and stored it in the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid.

Chapter 118 The Enchanting Fairy

The Taichu Forbidden Land is fraught with danger, but if one has an Imperial Artifact to protect them, as long as they don't step into the Ancient Mine, they will generally not encounter any problems.

After taking the Phoenix Blood Red Gold from Fallen Sun Ridge, Su Yu and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family flew towards Yunze Prefecture.

His Sage Small World was located in Yunze Prefecture, which was also the place where the Azure Flood Dragon King lived in seclusion.

Yunze Prefecture is unlike the Northern Region in terms of its landscape. It is lush and verdant, full of vitality, with almost nothing but trees and water, a spring every hundred steps and a river every ten miles.

Towering mountains, with massive waterfalls covering the entire mountainside, creating a vast expanse of white.

The endless plains are lush and green, with ancient villages reaching for the sky and great rivers rushing everywhere, crisscrossing like dragons dividing the land. Huge lakes are scattered everywhere, forming vast expanses.

Everywhere you look there are vast lakes and misty waters; this is truly the home of water.

A crack appeared in the Void, and a figure emerged from the spatial rift. Su Yu looked at this watery land and sighed, for this was his first power base.

After a year of development, Chaos Palace has taken shape and occupied a large number of mining areas in the Northern Region.

Meanwhile, the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region also fell apart. Some of them entered the Chaos Palace, while the remaining bandits continued to follow the number one bandit, known as the Seven Heroes of the Northern Region. Their prestige plummeted, far from what it once was.

Outside the Pure Land of the Chaos Palace, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds, a scene as beautiful as a poem or a painting. However, this was only on the surface. Su Yu glanced at the vast palace complex, realizing that these were nothing more than castles in the air, relying on a Great Saint Weapon and a few Supreme Peak Great Power, and could not be sustained for long.

Moreover, most of the Pure Lands in the Northern Region have owners, and the Chaos Palace is located in a state outside the Sage Small World.

Although Yunze Prefecture is considered quite good in the Northern Region, its spiritual energy is sparse, far inferior to the Ji Family, let alone the Chaos Small World.

As a newly established holy site, it is far inferior to the old holy sites and major religions.

Su Yu silently passed through the mountain gate array and entered the Sage Small World.

The Ageless Hall hangs atop the clouds, ancient and grand, radiating a faint glow. Eight other halls surround the Ageless Hall, hidden in the clouds, ethereal and Immortal Qi.

Below, clouds and mist billowed, white Immortal Qi flowed, and Su Yu appeared on a mountain peak. With a slight thought, a figure appeared in the sky, none other than the Azure Flood Dragon King.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" the Azure Flood Dragon King bowed.

He possessed an extraordinary aura, dressed in a Xi Qing lazuli armor, with thick, flowing blue hair and two pale white dragon horns. His robust body exuded a divine quality, his imposing presence radiating a terrifying aura.

Su Yu nodded slightly and inquired about the events in the Northern Region over the past year from the Azure Flood Dragon King.

According to the latter's answer, nothing major happened, the Chaos Palace developed very smoothly, the two extreme forces in the Northern Region did not intervene, and the other powerful holy lands also expressed their willingness to back down.

An interesting incident occurred recently: the Golden-Winged Little Peng King wanted to fight Ji Haoyue and went to the Ji Family Stone Workshop to provoke her. However, Ji Haoyue had already returned to the Southern Region, and the two did not fight, leaving the Golden-Winged Little Peng King disappointed.

Su Yu nodded secretly. It seemed that Big Moon was in seclusion breaking through to the Four Extremes. This was good news; his script should be able to be performed now.

He left after giving the Azure Flood Dragon King some instructions. He had originally wanted them to help capture people, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

It would be too easy for Holy Lord- level beings like the Azure Flood Dragon King and the Peacock King to expose themselves if they made a move. Moreover, the Purple Mansion Holy Land definitely values Innate Dao Embryo highly, and a war might break out in the Northern Region. It would be better to take action ourselves.

The Jade Lake Saintess, the Purple Mansion Saintess, the Yaoguang Saintess, and Jiang Tingting, whom we already have, the princess of the Central Province, and Yi Qingwu of the Ziwei Star Domain...

It seems his maidservant troupe is about to be formed. Once these holy maidens from the Eastern Wasteland enter the Four Extremes, that will be the time for him to make his move. Moreover, he will definitely strike simultaneously, wiping them all out in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

After arranging the script, Su Yu followed the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family back to the Southern Region.

To the Ji Family, Master Cao frequently used the Domain Gate and was also a guest elder of the Ji Family Ji Family, making him a distinguished guest.

Several other elders of the Ji Family wanted to establish a relationship with him. Most of them were elderly cultivators at the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, and there was even Dragon Transformation Elder whose lifespan was about to run out.

Su Yu declined all the banquet invitations and then quickly left the Ji Family, using the Great Void Technique to fly towards the Xuanyuan Sect.

At the summit of the Xuanyuan Sect Mountain, a group of young girls were playing in a peach grove. It was no longer the season for peach blossoms to bloom, but the ancient peach trees were laden with round, pinkish-white fruit that emitted an alluring fragrance.

Nestled among the peach orchards is a clear little lake, its banks lined with ancient peach trees, some over a thousand years old, laden with fruit and exuding a sweet fragrance. The entire lake is crystal clear, with gentle waves of aroma wafting through the air, making it incredibly beautiful and enchanting, like a fairyland.

A dozen beautiful young women were bathing in the lake, their black hair flowing like a waterfall, their arms as white as snow, their crystal-clear bodies shimmering with an alluring luster.

One of the girls was the most outstanding. She was beautiful, like a lotus emerging from the Pheobe, graceful and elegant. Her bare arms and long legs were captivating, and her skin, which was as white as mutton fat, was incredibly beautiful. Everyone respected her.

The other bathing girls surrounded her, talking and listening to their flattery. Chu Yue remained silent, only stroking her fair shoulders, her beautiful eyes glazed over, lost in thought.

Finally, his expression cleared, and his face became serene. He tried to dispel the delusions in his heart, but he became more and more confused, and even a trace of worry arose in his heart.

One step behind leads to another.

They were sisters who were always together, but now they are worlds apart, Your Highness...

In a tranquil courtyard, within one of the halls, a woman with Yan Ruyu skin and a celestial body, possessing an otherworldly air, appeared like a celestial maiden descending to earth, as if a thin cloud veiled the Mingyue or a gentle breeze caressed jade flowers.

She sat quietly on a willow futon, a pale blue Divine Source floating in front of her chest, radiating rich Life essence. Her whole body was enveloped in divine light, and five-colored light flowed around her graceful body. The sound of the Great Dao resounded in her Dao Palace, and she was incomparably holy.

Two illusory figures appeared outside the palace, like two divine beings. One of them sensed the aura inside the palace and silently disappeared, while the other turned into a wisp of green light and vanished into the world.

Inside another palace, a woman in a red dress finished her cultivation. She had delicate features, with a faint red mole between her eyebrows, and a bright red alien source was placed in front of her.

Qin Yao gazed at the Fire Jade Source with rapt attention, her aura growing stronger. She put away the Fire Jade Source, a smile appearing on her beautiful face.

She was only at the Life Spring cultivation level, so using the Fire Jade Source for cultivation was too extravagant for her; it was unimaginable before. However, the effect was excellent. If she continued to cultivate like this, she would soon be able to build Divine Bridge and reach the Other Shore.

"Didn't I give you a piece of Divine Source? Why don't you use it?"

A voice rang out within the exquisite and elegant palace. Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yao blinked, a captivating smile appearing on her face.

Chapter 119 The Land of Gentle Comfort

The Void twisted, and a figure appeared in the room. He had long hair that cascaded over his shoulders, eyes as deep as the sea, and skin as clear Ruyu. He was handsome Ruyu, so much so that even the heavens would be jealous. He was a flawless man.

Su Yu chuckled, his divine eyes fixed on Qin Yao. He was tall and slender, his black hair fluttering, seemingly blending with the heavens and earth. Wisps of Chaos energy swirled around his golden Divine Phoenix robe, making him appear utterly otherworldly.

The girl in the red dress had high, firm breasts and Ruyu arms. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she saw Su Yu and her divine power surged. In an instant, she moved to Su Yu's side, embraced him, her dark hair swayed gently, her crystal-clear skin met Su Yu's, and her eyes sparkled as she rested her head on Su Yu's shoulder.

With one arm around her slender waist and the other sensing her cultivation progress, Su Yu Qin Yao's breathing quickened instantly. Her beautiful eyes closed slightly, her starry gaze like lotus blossoms reflecting autumn water, and she was completely immersed in the Divine Phoenix Robe, unwilling to part from it.

He held Qin Yao quietly, kissing her hair as they did so. Neither of them spoke, savoring the beautiful moment.

After a while, Qin Yao finally peeked out, nestled in Su Yu, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, her face flushed, and said in a weak voice, "Your Highness, let's go see the princess first."
