Upon seeing the herb gatherer approach, the White Tortoise shuddered, filled with fear and apprehension. Only when it saw Su Yu sitting upright on the Kun Wood, his gaze not falling upon them, did it breathe a sigh of relief...
Returning to the Bronze Hall, Su Yu continued to cultivate his Dao Fruit.
The process still involves dual cultivation, with the main targets being the Female Kunpeng, the Mystic Maiden, the Ghost Immortal in the Chaos Lake, and the Black Peacock.
All four possess immortal bodies, and their union greatly benefits Su Yu. The first two, in particular, possess Xian Dao primordial spirits, which can nourish Su Yu's soul with profound and subtle effects.
Whenever they had a spare moment, servants would come and lead the descendants of the Longevity families to pay homage.
Like Lü Hong and Lan Xian, they all entered the Immortal Palace to receive the initiation of Xian Dao. This was something their Longevity families had paid a huge price for.
And so another year has passed.
As the year draws to a close, Su Yu returns from his long period of seclusion.
It is December outside, but sixty years inside the palace.
At this moment, the Dao Fruit, which had been dormant for sixty years, revived. Su Yu stood up, and the instant he opened his eyes, the entire bronze hall trembled. Green clouds surged, and copper rust fell in a flurry, creating an astonishing scene.
The last girl serving was extremely nervous, clinging to Su Yu and refusing to get down. The vast immortal power precisely avoided her, not touching her in the slightest.
A major event has occurred outside the palace. The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy has come in person to plead with the Supreme of the Immortal Palace to open the way.
But the latter remained unmoved, simply guarding the real bronze palace and preventing anyone from approaching.
"Brother Dao, if it were an ordinary battle, how would I dare to come here to seek an audience with True Immortal? It is truly a matter of great importance concerning the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and I must Longevity!" The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy was very solemn.
The Supreme of the Immortal Palace remained indifferent, unaffected even if the sky collapsed or the earth caved in.
His magical powers were astonishing; he cultivated the Dandelion Demon Art and had also consumed a portion of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm flesh and blood to extend his lifespan in an unconventional way. At this moment, his blood energy was terrifying, and he stood alone in front of the hall, preventing anyone from making any rash moves.
Has it really come to this?
A sigh escaped Su Yu's lips as he realized what had happened outside.
He gave a slight jolt, placed the Wei Family girl (the last of the Four Phoenixes of the Wei Family ) hanging on his body aside, then put on his robes, his gaze suddenly turning cold, and took a step forward. The copper flower of time flowed out from the Bronze Immortal Palace and went straight to the Divine Medicine Mountain Range.
As Su Yu took a step, he was enveloped in Chaos light, like an invincible immortal emerging from an unknown ancient time.
He deliberately suppressed his aura, preventing it from escaping, but it still made the Wei Family princess tremble with fear, her fair and flawless legs shaking almost to the point of numbness.
This was a fundamental shift in the level of Life, causing the Fourth Phoenix of the Wei Family to almost lose control and want to prostrate herself. The divine power was unstoppable.
At this moment, the silver-haired cultivator in the Bronze Immortal Palace was like a vast starry sky, unimaginably profound and unbelievably powerful.
He ascended the Xian Dao immortality and vanished from the spot, while the Bronze Immortal Palace rose from the ground, leaving behind an almost identical mark on the original site.
This process went unnoticed by anyone.
In the vast wilderness, cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Foreign Realm are vying for an object that concerns the destiny of both worlds.
The two Supreme were locked in a standoff, while all beings below the Supreme rushed into the Divine Medicine Mountain Range and the Heavenly Beast Forest to engage in a chaotic battle, while simultaneously searching for that special artifact.
At this time, Nine Heavens was unaware of what the artifact was. The Foreign Realm, however, was concerned with the decree of the Immortal King of the Foreign Realm and therefore took it extremely seriously.
Su Yu arrived silently, took out a drop of blood, and began casting a spell.
He quickly located Shi Hao's position.
"Located in the Burial Ground..." Su Yu smiled, his aura flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.
The Burial Domain is a vast ancient realm that rivals Foreign Realm and Immortal Domain, ruled by the Burial King.
At this moment, Shi Hao ventured deep into the ancient Burial Region, a place where even Su Yu had to be careful, and where it was difficult to roam freely...
Shi Hao was approaching an ancient sacrificial site in the Burial Region.
This is a large, dark red tomb, comparable to the mountains surrounded by broken walls and some grand ancient palaces that have not yet collapsed, but what is even more captivating is the aroma of herbs, so fragrant that it melts your bones.
Seeing the green light in Shi Hao's eyes as he looked around at the blood-stained grave, the female Burial Cultivator who was with him remained silent.
"Is there any treasure in this tomb?" Shi Hao, now a skeleton, asked.
Although the skeleton cannot drool, the incredible green light in the eye sockets reflects this.
"Don't touch it." The female Burial Cultivator shook her head.
She told me that a supreme being was once buried here, and that these were mausoleums, not to be touched.
The two then crossed the ancient tomb, following the wisp of fragrance.
Soon after, footsteps echoed in the Void, and a silver-haired spirit emerged from the darkness.
Su Yu's gaze was deep. He didn't look at the blood grave, but stared at another small hill not far away, which, along with the large grave, formed a yin-yang shape, each at its own center point.
He knew very well what was inside that dark red tomb.
The Rotten Wooden Box was then buried inside.
As for that low grave...
Su Yu possesses the Chaos Dharma Eye. With the revival of his immortal body and the return of his Dao Fruit from his previous life, his Heavenly Eye is comparable to that of Quasi-Immortal King, capable of observing all things, and his eyesight is terrifyingly sharp.
At this moment, within the small tomb, a large vermilion coffin floats and sinks, shrouded in Chaos and exuding a mysterious aura.
He lingered for a while, then moved on, without making any move on the grave.
The tomb's owner, briefly described in another timeline, was a Burial King who died after a tribulation and was buried in the tomb. However, his obsession remained, and his flesh and blood transformed into butterflies, soaring through the world.
The Burial King always believed he was still alive, until one day, butterflies fluttered by, and in an ancient tomb, he saw a skeleton. At that moment, he was bewildered and asked himself, "Who am I? Who am I?"
This experience was mentioned during Shi Hao and Cao Yusheng's cross-time encounter.
Cao Yusheng's disciples have successively revealed some terrifying figures.
Some raise phoenixes to be used as pheasants, waiting for them to lay eggs every day; some corpses float and sink, their bodies imprisoned through the ages, their flesh indestructible; some imprison themselves in broken earthenware jars underground, their names bearing the names of their Burial Master; some Immortal Refining Pot to slumber ancient people.
Two eras ago, an ancient being whose body was cut into six pieces and sealed within six Immortal Elixir... and the butterfly was among them.
The figures here are either Supreme Giant or extremely ancient giants. To put it another way, the Burial King who transformed into a butterfly is at least no weaker than Supreme Peak experts like Ao Sheng and An Lan; he is likely even stronger.
This Burial King's luck wasn't good. That dark red tomb was originally her resting place, but someone moved it out and put Rotten Wooden Box in, taking over her place.
"Perhaps we will meet again someday."
After bidding farewell to the Butterfly King's tomb, Su Yu didn't dig up the Rotten Wooden Box. It required Immortal King -level magic power to open, which was beyond his current capabilities.
Someone will come and open it later.
He took a step, covering fifty miles in an instant, catching up with the two and appearing at the foot of a hundred-zhang-high platform.
This is a place where the essence of heaven and earth converges. The platform is dilapidated and mottled, but from its cracks, treasures such as Purple Mansion Liquid and Ancestral Marrow gush out, exuding the most peaceful aura, with Zixia rising and mist spreading.
On one side of the platform, in a crevice, a celestial tree took root. It was as tall as a person, and it had been cut down before, with the stump showing signs of breakage. Five-Colored Divine Light light surged from its crown, and celestial mist billowed around it, emitting a hazy celestial glow that exuded indescribable peace.
At this moment, Shi Hao was plotting with the Burial Cultivator, trying to obtain the elixir of Longevity Medicine.
The result was naturally a futile effort; this old tree was quite extraordinary, having lived for so long and possessing immense experience.
In another timeline, it was this creature that seized the Rotten Wooden Box, but it also found itself in dire straits, forced to cooperate with Shi Hao, and escape into the depths of the Burial Region.
This time was no exception.
As Shi Hao made his move, the dilapidated ancient platform unleashed a wisp of pressure at the level of Burial King.
Countless ages ago, a king sat here, leaving behind his aura, which is something that a mere cultivator Self Severing could not shake.
Seeing the immortal tree escaping, Shi Hao was helpless, with a heartbroken look on his face. The target was the elixir of longevity, and there was only one chance to capture it. Once he missed it, under the former's earth escape technique that was comparable to that of a true immortal, it would be in vain for a humane creature to exhaust all its means.
Even after failing, Shi Hao Undying and wanted to catch up.
The female Burial Cultivator shook her head and stopped him, because there was no point in doing so.
However, unexpectedly, the horizon shone with rosy light, and the immortal tree broke through the soil, reappearing in the sky.
It's hard to say what kind of old tree it is. At this moment, its roots have sprung up from the ground and are all exposed, like two long human legs, constantly swaying and running very fast.
It would occasionally turn its head, its newly sprouted leaves drooping down, as if patting its broken stump.
This behavior is highly provocative, much like someone patting their butt to encourage the pursuers to keep following.
As the old tree had predicted, Shi Hao and the Burial Cultivator were both furious and understood the meaning behind this action.
Seeing that they were about to catch up again, the old tree swayed its branches and leaves, and a human face appeared on its trunk, with a contemptuous smile on its face.
It has reason to be proud, having recently escaped from a powerful Burial King and stirred up chaos there.
Two human beings are only fit to be toyed with by it.
"You've disturbed my cultivation place, I'll teach you a lesson." Old Yao said fiercely, thinking of a dangerous place to lure Shi Hao and his companion there.
Just as it was feeling smug and preparing to continue walking the 'dog'...
A sudden change has occurred!
A Immortal Palace, covered in immortal Xian Dao and exuding a terrifying aura, rushed into this Burial Ground, its target being this very place.
There are still people!
The old tree cried out, its face turning green, and hurriedly burrowed into the ground, using all its might to try and reach the area illuminated by the Bronze Immortal Palace.
" The Immortal Elixir, where are you going? Follow me!"
In the mist, Su Yu revealed his true form, extending a hand to unleash a supreme technique that cut off his path. A fragment of time danced in the air, accompanied by a sword embryo that slashed down with unparalleled sharpness.
A few breaths later, the Immortal Medicine, Longevity nowhere to escape, was imprisoned and fell into Su Yu's hands.
Not far away, the man and the Burial Cultivator, who were spectators, were almost petrified.
After a brief moment of shock, Shi Hao became excited and recognized the other party as the peerless figure who had given him the Indestructible Scripture. He rushed forward to pay his respects.
The Burial Cultivator was terrified and wanted to escape, but facing such a terrifying figure, the possibility of escape was almost zero, so he could only grit his teeth and go forward.
"Greetings, Lord of the Palace!"
Shi Hao bowed deeply, but the Great Power who had descended remained silent, only staring at the immortal tree.
"Didn't the Temple Master notice me?" The skeleton doubted itself, looking at its pale bones and muttering to itself.
He looked like this ever since he entered the Burial Region.
"You don't happen to be someone who doesn't know this important person and wants to claim kinship? Let me tell you, such behavior will lead to our horrific deaths," the female Burial Cultivator 'kindly' warned.
Shi Hao looked at the Burial Cultivator, his lips twitching.
On the surface, the other party was lifeless, like a piece of gray wood, but underground, it became incredibly sacred and looked extremely moving.
Just as Shi Hao was at a loss, Su Yu made a move, flicking his sleeve to pull the two of them in front of him.
