"Old man."

Su Yu to the top half of the statue, staring directly at the Ghost Face Mask carved in Dragon-Patterned Black Gold with dragon patterns on the jar. He reached out and unleashed a Chaos Divine Light, using the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid to activate the statue's Dao patterns.

The next moment, the surrounding Void transformed into layers of black holes, from which Chaos energy surged forth in a turbulent torrent. Complex Dao lines shot out rapidly like venomous snakes, endlessly cycling and alternating, until finally divine light emerged, forming a phantom Domain Gate.

Su Yu stepped into the portal of light. After a period of darkness, his body and spirit were still. The spatial teleportation ended, and he entered a dimly lit place.

That familiar figure in purple was no longer there.

The mysterious and intricate Perfect Emperor Formation withdrew its light; this was Su Yu's greatest treasure, even surpassing the Lihuo Divine Furnace containing the essence of Immortal Fire.

Su Yu stood in the sky, his hair disheveled, and remained silent for a moment before finally activating the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid to return to the Chaos Small World.

"Buzz!"

An ancient pottery jar floated in the starry sky, its blackness profound. Sensing the pull of the jar lid, it transformed into a beam of celestial light, breaking through the Void to appear before Su Yu, merging with the jar lid.

The flawless Emperor Weapon cast countless strands of dark light, enveloping Su Yu within them.

Was leaving behind the Emperor Weapon to search for his relatives? Or for something else...? Su Yu pondered, his gaze shifting, the principles of Yin and Yang swirling within him.

He gazed at the vibrant, Chaos Small World, where Golden Crow of the Great Saint level in the sky had transformed into a divine sun, burning with terrifying True Solar Fire, scattering light, and being incomparably hot and warm.

Composing himself, Su Yu flicked his sleeve, and a divine seal flew out, transforming into an exquisite divine palace that released Ling Yang.

Ling Yang felt a sense of nostalgia as he sensed the rich spiritual energy of this world, but he was not obsessed with it. Although this place was good, there were more opportunities in the outside world, such as the Nine Secrets and forbidden techniques.

For a demon king like him who Severing the Dao, Life essence is merely icing on the cake; the Imperial Dao Scripture and forbidden divine arts are the most important.

Su Yu collected his thoughts, stopped thinking about it, and said softly to Ling Yang, "Let's go!"

Ling Yang raised an eyebrow, sensing his emotions, but didn't pay it any mind. He raised his hand and Severing the Dao his divine power. The divine might of the Dao Slayer was unparalleled, directly opening a Void passage. The two stepped into the passage, traversing tens of thousands of miles in a single step, and arrived at the Divine Medicine Garden.

Su Yu walked through the Sacred Path Formation with ease, bypassed the complex rune blockade, and entered the medicine garden. Ignoring Yang Yi beside him, he headed towards the Divine Pool.

Ling Yang was utterly shocked when he first entered the Divine Medicine Garden. The Feathered Immortal Valley where he grew up was already a rare Divine Land, and this Chaos Small World was an even more top-tier Immortal Land. However, in this garden, his worldview began to collapse.

There were actually two ancient Divine Medicine here that were invisible to the outside world. He only saw the Qilin Seed and the Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine in the Divine Spring and did not notice the Star Seed at the bottom of the spring.

The rich aroma of Divine Medicine filled the air, and Ling Yang felt a sense of comfort. It was as if the source of Life was blowing through him like a spring breeze, even stimulating the Divine Phoenix blood in his body, making his limbs and bones feel relaxed and light.

Thump!

The Divine Spring rippled, and a small, purple-hued Qilin flew out of the water. It was no more than two feet long, with an endearing and clumsy appearance. Its large eyes were clear, bright, and sparkling, as if they were made of purple diamonds.

A small purple Qilin flew over and landed in Su Yu's hand. Its whole body shone brightly. It was a little chubby, seemingly because it had been absorbing the Divine Spring. It waddled as it walked and looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu took out the Silver Moon Jade Pagoda and handed the Saint Weapon to Yang Yi. The next time they would go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, they would have to wait until Ye Fan broke through to the Four Extremes. On that occasion, he planned to take the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar and go to plunder. He wouldn't need this incomplete Saint Weapon then.

The Purple Qilin shone brightly, grasping his hair. Divine light flowed around it, and the fragrance of Divine Medicine filled the air. In the blink of an eye, it climbed onto Su Yu's head, stood tall, and looked down at the other ancient medicines.

When Su Yu took out a pot of Divine Spring, it yawned, reluctantly accepted it, and seemed unsurprised, its face showing no emotion. For the past three or four years, it had been drinking this Divine Spring every day, enjoying a good life, and had begun to feel smug.

Su Yu ignored it. The Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine in the divine pool was still half a foot tall. From a distance, it resembled a Human Clan's lower limb, surrounded by a pale blue light and emitting a unique Divine Medicine fragrance.

The Star Tree Seed still hadn't sprouted and remained in the seed stage. After comforting the Divine Medicine, he inspected the Demon God Flower and the Bodhi Tree again.

Finally, Su Yu left the Divine Medicine Garden with Ling Yang, without saying a single word to Yang Yi from beginning to end.

During this time, Yang Yi wanted to ask about the situation outside several times, but looking into Su Yu's calm eyes, she ultimately remained silent.

After Su Yu left, Yang Yi, holding the Silver Moon Jade Pagoda, stood among the ancient herbs. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a red mole between her brows shone brightly. Her black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall. She was as pure and unparalleled as a divine moon.

She danced in the wind, her white dress brushing against the precious medicinal herbs, her beautiful head drooping slightly as she let out a sigh.

Although he had some desire for her before, he also had good intentions towards her.

This time, however, the way he looked at her was as if he were examining an object, with a sharp, scrutinizing gaze...

Chapter 172 Zixia

The Central Region of the Eastern Wasteland stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, an endless expanse of Great Wilderness. This is the birthplace of the Eastern Wasteland civilization. The Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Dao Yi Holy Land, and the Wanchu Holy Land are all located in the Central Region, as is the ancient and powerful Feng Clan.

The Ziwei Divine Dynasty of Ziwei Star also has a branch in the Central Region — the Ziwei Sect, a major sect founded by cultivators of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

This is a vast cultivation domain, home to numerous holy lands and great sects, and it lacks any supreme powers. These holy lands command the Central Region and overlook the Great Wilderness.

The Heavenbreak Mountains are filled with countless howling winds, remaining unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years.

A crimson glow flew out from the Void vortex, and two figures emerged from an unnamed mountain range. Then, the man in red opened the Void with his palm, directly creating a passage, and the two flew rapidly towards the Purple Mansion Holy Land!

The Purple Mansion Holy Land is located in the Void Bright Realm of the Central Region. It is a lineage passed down by the Great Saint of the Human Clan. It cultivates the " Purple Mansion Scripture " and its sect's unique skills include Purple Qi Comes from the East and Hun Yuan Purple Qi. It is one of the top forces in the Central Region of the Eastern Wasteland, rivaling the Dao Yi Holy Land and the Wanchu Holy Land, and is respected by all religions.

The Saint Weapon of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Purple Mansion Mountain River Diagram, is a flawless Great Saint Weapon with a formidable reputation.

Su Yu did not possess the " Purple Mansion Scripture," but he had absorbed the aura of the Purple Mansion Holy Land Saint Ancestor, making it extremely easy for him to infiltrate the Purple Mansion Purple Mansion Holy Land Saint.

The Dharma Ending Age has not truly passed, and the profound secrets within the Purple Mansion Holy Land remain untapped.

At this stage, those at the Four Extremes of the Dao Palace can become elders in their respective regions, cultivators at the Immortal Platform are the backbone of the Holy Land, and powerful cultivators at the Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure of leading major sects within the Holy Land. In the original work, they are even referred to as living fossils, possessing immense power.

According to intelligence from the Chaos Palace in the Northern Region, half a month ago, the Purple Mansion Saintess broke through the Four Extremes in the Holy Land, and the name of the Innate Dao Embryo spread throughout the Five Regions. She and Ji Haoyue, the God King Body, are known as the Twin Paragons of the Eastern Wasteland, two great divine bloodlines.

It was precisely because of the fame of the Purple Mansion Holy Land that Su Yu came and entered the Supreme Peak holy land to plunder the Holy Maiden. Such behavior was outrageous. Once it was known, it would be a huge scandal and he would be hunted down by the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

After threatening the Jade Lake Sacred Land, he did this again, out of desperation, but out of necessity.

Su Yu traveled through the Purple Mansion Holy Land on Divine Rainbow, followed by a sword-wielding disciple and two personal disciples. Occasionally, disciples of the Holy Land dressed in purple would appear and respectfully bow to him upon seeing him.

At this moment, he was dressed in a Zixia robe with eight trigrams, holding a three-foot whisk, with flowing hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. He was the Lord of the Juntian Hall in the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

The Purple Mansion Holy Land is divided into nine halls, among which the Juntian Hall is responsible for alchemy. The hall masters of the nine halls are all Half-Step Great Power, and their status in the Purple Mansion Holy Land is extremely high. Only the Holy Lord and a few Supreme Elders are above them.

The original Juntian Hall had been captured by Ling Yang. The combination of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar and the Dao-Slaying King was something even Supreme Peak Holy Lord could not contend with. The old Daoist passed away peacefully without making a sound. His origin was devoured by Su Yu, and everything he had was inherited by Su Yu.

Soon, the group arrived at a magnificent and imposing palace.

A still-attractive middle-aged woman, accompanied by a young girl in purple, was waiting outside the hall. Upon seeing Su Yu, they both bowed in greeting.

The Holy Maiden of the sect holds an extremely high position, though her cultivation level is only at the Four Extremes Secret Realm, her status is equivalent to that of an Elder of the Immortal Platform.

However, this is only a superficial rule. When Zixia actually meets Half-Step Great Power in the sect, she will still bow. This is the etiquette of a prestigious sect. Moreover, this person is the master of the Ninth Palace, whose status in the Purple Mansion Holy Land is even higher than that of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

"Greetings, Juntian Hall!"

Su Yu waved his whisk, his face becoming kind and gentle, and said to Zixia warmly, "No need for formalities, Zixia. I have come here personally on the orders of the Holy Lord to take you to the Juntian Medicine Furnace for a baptism."

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the middle-aged beauty's eyes flickered, initially showing a hint of doubt. This baptism had already been bestowed upon the Purple Mansion Holy Son by the Holy Lord, so how could this Juntian Hall...

However, she quickly came to a realization, and a smile bloomed on her pretty face. The baptism of the medicine furnace in the Juntian Hall was an excellent method for tempering one's constitution, and it was a great opportunity for Zixia.

Before the palace, clouds rose and rosy hues shone brightly, five-colored clouds filled the air. The Purple Mansion Saintess stood behind the beautiful woman, hearing the words without sorrow or joy, with a tranquil state of mind. She stood quietly in the clouds, calmly looking at Su Yu, as if she were one with heaven and earth, merging into the Dao Self and nature. This is the wonder of the Innate Dao Embryo, born in harmony with the Great Dao.

Su Yu is still a bit lacking in this aspect, and cannot merge with the myriad Daos at any time and place. His Chaos Body is not yet perfect, but with the help of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree Heart, it is comparable to the Innate Dao Embryo.

Zixia was not very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her purple clothes fluttered as she stood amidst the clouds, like a purple fairy flower.

She was tall and slender with a slim waist. Her hair Qingwu in the air, shrouded in purple mist. Her stunning face was veiled in mystery, and a radiant light shone from between her brows. Through the purple mist, Zixia bloomed, revealing a Dao seal.

She stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness!"

Seeing Zixia's fluctuating emotions, Su Yu stroked his long beard with self-satisfaction and said calmly, " The Eastern Wasteland Divine Body was defeated by the Demon Clan Princess, and naturally, the Innate Dao Embryo of my Purple Mansion Holy Land will not repeat the same mistake! It is precisely for this reason that the Holy Lord bestowed this Medicine Furnace Baptism upon you. I hope you will make good use of it and, upon emerging from seclusion, refrain from tarnishing the reputation of my Purple Mansion Holy Land."

"This disciple will certainly live up to the Palace Master's expectations!"

Zixia bowed again, her voice sounding calm and collected, without any anger, yet firm and powerful, revealing extraordinary qualities in its ordinariness.

"Not bad!" Su Yu nodded slightly. He waved his whisk, and a purple aura flew out, transforming into a series of heavenly steps. The two people in front of the Heavenly Palace stepped into the Divine Rainbow.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Su Yu led them back to the Juntian Hall, and then led the sword-wielding disciple, Zixia, and the middle-aged beauty into the Medicine God.

After Su Yu dismissed his disciples and closed the hall doors, he smiled meaningfully, and his aura began to change. Strands of deep, dark void Void power surged out, and small vortexes began to appear in the space inside the hall.

"Lord, when shall we begin?"

The middle-aged woman was puzzled by the silence, but no one answered her.

At this moment, Zixia sensed something was amiss. She stared intently at Su Yu's back, and the Yin -Yin-Yang Dao Diagram on her Bagua Zixia Divine Robe began to change, transforming into wisps of Chaos energy, incredibly mysterious and profound.

"Lord of the Palace... who exactly are you?"

The middle-aged beauty began to understand, shielding Zixia behind her. Purple energy surged, and she stared sharply at Su Yu. Divine power surged forth, summoning a purple-gold pagoda surrounded by rosy light.

The sword-wielding boy beside him also revealed his true form, transforming into a young Daoist priest with long, red hair.

Ling Yang stared indifferently at the two of them, awaiting Su Yu's command.

"How dare you trespass into my Purple Mansion Holy Land!"

The woman in the palace dress frowned, formed a hand seal, and activated the Purple Gold Pagoda. Instantly, the seven-inch-tall pagoda grew to ten feet tall, radiating a rich purple glow and divine light, and crashed down on Ling Yang, attempting to suppress Ling Yang.

Looking at this Dragon Transformation artifact, Ling Yang waved his sleeve, and countless Void divine patterns rushed out, taking the purple-gold pagoda into his sleeve. Then he stepped forward, making the beautiful woman tremble with fear.

Zixia Innate Dao Embryo, unleashed a scroll, a weapon left behind by the deceased old Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion — the Mountain River Diagram, a Supreme Peak Holy Lord's magical artifact.

Chapter 173 Mountain River Diagram

"Splash!"

As the scroll unfurled, the Mountain River Diagram trembled, revealing the entire real world within, merging with the vast universe and protecting the Purple Mansion Saintess and the middle-aged beauty at its center.

When everything calms down, the landscape within the Mountain River Diagram reveals magnificent mountains, enchanting rivers, and breathtaking scenery.

The Purple Mansion Saintess stands alone on a celestial cliff within the painting, shrouded in mist, transcending the mortal world, becoming the most captivating scene in the painting.

"What is this kind of magic artifact to me!" Su Yu sneered, and a terrifying divine thought as deep as the ocean flew out, urging the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar to store the Mountain River Diagram into the Emperor Weapon.

After capturing the Purple Mansion Saintess, the two used the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar to conceal their presence and disappeared into the Void, leaving the Juntian Hall.

At this moment, within the Divine Land of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Purple Mansion Holy Lord stirred his divine thoughts, and the Primordial Spirit Thought Restriction he left in the Mountain River Diagram was broken, causing trouble for his Innate Dao Embryo.

A quarter of an hour later, the Purple Mansion Holy Lord led a group of elders to break into the Juntian Hall. However, the palace was empty, and even the divine pills and spiritual medicines inside had been swept away and disappeared without a trace. Only a few faint traces of Void power remained in the palace.

"The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion Holy Land has been abducted by thieves in our sect's holy land!" The Purple Mansion Holy Lord's voice was very calm, but those who truly knew him knew that this meant he was extremely angry.

"This is an utter disgrace! My Purple Mansion Holy Land is about to become a laughingstock of the Eastern Wasteland Holy Land. How can we face our Purple Mansion sages..."

"Where is the Elder of Punishments? Where is the Juntian Hall?"

An elder stepped forward and explained, " Holy Lord, the Juntian Hall is probably in grave danger!"
