Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 101 Heavenly Will Spirit Lord, Earthly Yang Serpent Lord

The will of Heaven is the will of Heaven and Earth, the natural order.

Yan Tianchou once tried to peek into the secrets of heaven by secretly reading through the "memory" of the will of heaven. Later, Yan Tianchou learned his lesson and never dared to touch the secrets of heaven again.

Now, Yan Tianchou sensed the aura of Heaven's will and recalled the scene of the blind old Taoist priest being devoured by the Heavenly Secret, which startled him.

Fortunately, no danger occurred, and Yantianchou even produced some analysis results.

"Just like the sequence of Earth Spirit Soldiers, Earth Spirit Officials, Earth Spirit Lords... the Spirit Realm Will is the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord who has grasped a trace of the power of Heaven's Will."

"Within the Great Sun Spirit Realm, the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord is an invincible being. Even a Serpent King-level spirit is nothing more than a prisoner who can't hop around for long..."

The reason why the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm appeared was because of this snake-shaped king-level spirit. Mo Linglong and Su Ji became the people to whom the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord confided.

Just like the birth of the Crimson-Haired Mountain Spirit, a young spirit was born in the Earth Yang Spirit Vein a thousand years ago. It is the master of the Earth Yang Spirit Vein and the favorite of the Heavenly Will Spirit Lord.

However, as time passed, the serpentine spirit grew up, becoming increasingly powerful and eventually becoming known as the Earth Yang Serpent Lord among the cultivators.

Under the control of the Heavenly Spirit Lord, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord dared not kill, but was influenced by the greed of the treasure-hunting cultivators, and gradually became a monster that only swallowed and never spat.

Disliking the barrenness of this place, the Earth Yang Serpent Lord moved to the center of the Great Sun Spirit Realm and spent over a hundred years accumulating immense power within the Earth Yang Spirit Vein.

Originally, the Great Sun Spirit Realm was as famous as the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, but because the Earth Yang Serpent Lord devoured too much energy, the Earth Yang Qi it contained became less and less.

Even more remarkably, at a City God Temple Fair fifty-three years ago, the price of the tokens for the Great Sun Spirit Realm reached an all-time low, requiring only one hundred and eighty strands of divine power to enter.

In order to find out the truth, the City God Temple sent people in to investigate the cause of the matter, but they returned empty-handed.

It wasn't until the current City God Temple's Day-Roaming Spirit General personally intervened that the cause was finally found, but in doing so, two Day-Roaming Spirit Soldiers were lost.

Enraged, the spirit general of the City God Temple used a secret method to summon the Heavenly Spirit Lord, who not only accused the Earthly Serpent Lord of murder but also exposed the Earthly Spirit Lord's plot to rebel.

Ultimately, the Heavenly Spirit Lord set the tone for this matter.

At this moment, Su Ji also arrived near Mo Linglong and heard the ethereal voice of Tianyi Lingjun.

"In order to usurp my authority, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord devoured countless amounts of Earthly Yang energy within the Great Sun Spirit Realm, reaching a level of strength close to that of an immortal..."

"For the sake of the peace of the Great Sun Spirit Realm, and to quell the anger of the City God Temple deities, I imprisoned the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord in this barren land..."

"In order to restore the Great Sun Spirit Realm to its former glory, when the Great Sun Spirit Realm opened, I used the power of Heaven's Will to release the countless amounts of Earth Yang Qi absorbed by the Earth Yang Serpent Lord. This has been done one hundred and four times so far..."

In addition to the City God Temple Fair, the City God Temple also opens the City God Spirit Realm during the Ghost Festival, which is exactly 104 times in 52 years.

Based on a seven-day cycle, the Death Tornado spewed energy for 728 days, yet it still failed to completely release the energy devoured by the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord, demonstrating the terrifying power of the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord back then.

Furthermore, the Earth Yang Mica that Su Ji and the Wang family cultivators collected was supposed to be collected by the City God Temple during this year's Ghost Festival.

After all, death tornadoes don't happen all the time, and the City God Temple collects the mica from the previous tornado before it even rises...

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Spirit Lord explained the reason for His appearance.

"Now, the Seven Aperture Heart Stone has become the prison of the Earth Yang Serpent Lord, and the low-grade, middle-grade and even high-grade Earth Yang Stones scattered around are the source of power for the prison."

"If we take away these Earth Yang Stones, it will definitely weaken the binding force of the cage, and it may even release the Earth Yang Serpent Lord directly..."

Su Ji couldn't help but smile wryly. There must be a reason why so many treasures were left untouched.

The Heavenly Will Spirit Lord's warning was meant to urge them to think carefully, lest they be annihilated by the freed Earth Yang Serpent Lord the moment they took the treasure. Instantly, the white-haired girl, Mo Linglong, turned pale.

If she can't even move the Earth Yang Stone, let alone the Seven Aperture Heart Stone which serves as a prison, she has no chance against the Earth Yang Serpent Lord with her strength.

...Does this mean we can only wait until June to go to Lunzhou and give it a try?

The reason Lunzhou is listed later is because the probability of obtaining the Seven Aperture Heart Stone from there is even lower.

Moreover, the longer it drags on, the more life force her body will lose...

At this moment, Su Ji stepped forward.

Su Ji first patted Mo Linglong on the shoulder to show that he was reassured.

Then, Su Ji bowed and addressed the omnipresent Heavenly Will, saying, "Heavenly Will Spirit Lord, when you imprisoned the Earth Yang Serpent Lord, did you set a time?"

The basic rule of the Spirit Realm is that no one can kill. Even though the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord killed two Day-Roaming Spirit Soldiers, he was only imprisoned, either for a limited time or until death.

Since the Heavenly Spirit Lord has appeared, he must be here to resolve this matter. He said, "According to the agreement, the Earth Yang Serpent Lord will be released from its confinement once the Earth Yang Qi it has devoured is completely released. At the current pace, it should take another five years."

Five years is still a long time. Su Ji is worried that if Mo Linglong can't find the Seven Aperture Heart Stone again, her feigned death body won't last five years.

Fortunately, Su Ji had another ingenious method.

When Tianyi Lingjun said it would take five years, it was actually just seventy days of the deadly tornado erupting.

So Su Ji continued, "If all the underground passages beneath the death tornado were opened, how long would it take?"

The Heavenly Will Spirit Lord is omniscient within the Great Sun Spirit Realm. Su Ji seizes every opportunity to ask questions, thus saving a lot of effort in divination and calculation.

As expected, the Heavenly Spirit Lord provided the answer: "If the underground passage is fully opened, the gushing time can be shortened to sixty days."

This result is still unsatisfactory.

Su Ji, however, still had a solution and continued to ask, "If we connect the two earth yang spiritual veins and use the earth yang energy to activate this earth yang spiritual vein, how many days can we save?"

This earth yang spiritual vein has long been depleted of energy. Even though there are still many high-grade earth yang stones in this huge cavern, they are only needed for the formation that imprisons the earth yang serpent king.

After a moment of silence, Tianyi Lingjun finally gave his answer: "If we follow this method, we can release Diyang Serpent Lord tomorrow."

The amount of yang energy needed for an entire mineral vein is far too much; the amount of energy ejected by a mere death tornado over sixty or seventy days is nothing at all.

The reason for waiting until tomorrow is simply that we need time to open the underground passage.

Upon hearing this answer, Su Ji let out a soft sigh of relief. Turning his head, he saw that the white-haired girl, Mo Linglong, indeed looked incredulous.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on Mo Linglong's face, and her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Su Ji.

Su Ji, however, did not become complacent. Instead, he looked at the Earth Yang Serpent Lord inside the Seven Aperture Heart Stone.

At some point, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord opened its eyes and looked at Su Ji with an indifferent expression.

When the Spirit Realm opened, the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord had already woken up; he had only been dozing off earlier.

Immediately, the Earth Serpent Lord spoke with a serious expression: "Cultivator, you went to great lengths to release me, could it be to imprison the countless treasures within the formation?"
