The game starts with the protagonist being forced to marry the protagonist's ancestor, and I�

Before he could finish speaking...

The gray-robed Taoist suddenly made a move, his terrifying Daoist laws coiling around his palm as he aimed at Su Shengyuan's chest.

"The Demon of the Secret Realm must be slain!"

Su Shengyuan had been on guard against him for a long time, and was surprised to see him suddenly appear.

Once you activate your talent, you can go toe-to-toe with anyone!

boom!

Their palms collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that spread outwards in all directions from the two of them, turning mountains and rivers into dust and cracking the earth wherever it went.

"What? How is this possible? How could you possibly block my Heart-Shattering Palm?" The gray-robed Taoist's eyes showed shock.

The person in front of him was clearly only at the Quasi-Saint level, so why was he able to block the Great Venerable Treasure Technique of the Venerable Three Heavens?

Unbelievable?

Terrifying?

None of these seem sufficient to describe Su Shengyuan.

However, the gray-robed Taoist was stunned again, because he felt that Su Shengyuan was very weak.

boom!

Su Shengyuan's body flew backward and crashed heavily into a small mountain, shattering it into pieces.

Behind the hill, Ye Chen stared blankly at this scene.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

I had just hidden myself here when you smashed the hill to pieces?

And it was also deeply shocking.

Su Shengyuan actually blocked the Venerable's palm strike.

However, upon recalling Su Shengyuan's identity, Ye Chen understood.

As the young master of the Su family, what's wrong with having a trump card that can block the attacks of a Venerable?

"Brother, hold on, I'm going to get reinforcements!"

Su Shengyuan roared at Ye Chen, who had exposed himself, and then used the Great Void Technique to disappear from the spot.

The gray-robed Taoist looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "So there's another secret demon realm. Kill!"

With a single palm strike, it seemed as if the heavens themselves were being sunk; the power of this Great Venerable was truly terrifying.

Ye Chen cursed loudly and then fled.

Fortunately, he still had some tricks up his sleeve, and even when facing a powerful figure, he still had the ability to escape.

but!

He felt awkward!

Originally, he followed Su Shengyuan in plotting against him.

But unintentionally, she became Su Shengyuan's scapegoat.

The two chased each other, drawing two divine rainbows across the sky, causing many living beings to tremble in fear.

And in the void!

Su Shengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes coldly watching the cat-and-mouse game below.

He had already discovered that Ye Chen was following him.

They just didn't expose it.

After all, he still had to ruin Ye Chen's regret storyline!

Besides, there are benefits to having him come along.

This is a perfect way to draw enemy fire.

Even if a god-emperor can't win, he can still escape.

He's a complete and utter shield!

"The Taoist priests at Zhanmo Temple are really annoying."

Su Shengyuan was naturally aware of the gray-robed Taoist's identity.

Within the Luo Tian Secret Land, there exists a special being.

Demon-Slaying Temple!

Their purpose is to kill any living beings that enter the Luo Tian Secret Realm from the outside.

The term "Secret Realm Demon" is what the Demon Slayer Temple refers to when talking about beings from the outside world.

Su Shengyuan then concealed himself and continued to wander through the Luo Tian Secret Land, collecting immortal essence.

Ye Chen finally escaped the pursuit of the gray-robed Taoist.

Using the secret technique once again, they found Su Shengyuan's trail and followed him again.

Su Shengyuan noticed this but did not take any action.

What a great shield! And it can even be retrieved automatically.

Just as Su Shengyuan was searching for the Immortal Source and many other secret treasures.

A Taoist priest in black robes stopped Su Shengyuan.

He had a dark complexion and a full beard, resembling Li Kui and Zhang Fei.

"The Demon King of the Secret Realm has finally been found. Kill him..."

The black-robed Taoist was at the Saint Ancestor Realm, but even so, he was not someone that a young prodigy could withstand.

However, Su Shengyuan was no young prodigy.

boom!

As their fists collided, Su Shengyuan's body erupted with dazzling runes and radiant light. Then, his aura weakened, and he was sent flying backward, smashing a celestial tree in half.

Behind the immortal tree, Ye Chen stood there dumbfounded, stunned once again.

Holy crap!

Su Shengyuan: "Brother, you hold them off, I'll go get reinforcements!"

The moment he finished speaking, Su Shengyuan's figure vanished from the spot.

But this really put Ye Chen in a difficult position!

I have to flee again.

"Haha, I didn't expect there to be two lone little mice."

The black-robed Taoist priest became excited and immediately charged towards Ye Chen.

However, fearing that Ye Chen might escape, he immediately sealed off this area.

Ye Chen frowned and snorted coldly, "You think you can trap me?"

With a whoosh, Ye Chen vanished from his spot, reappearing outside the domain.

"This batch of secret realm demons is quite interesting; they're much more fun than the last one."

The black-robed Taoist chuckled, then tore through space and gave chase.

Su Shengyuan, who was hiding to the side, chuckled.

They then left the place.

……

Qinling Mountains!

Su Shengyuan stepped out of the void, looked at the magnificent and mysterious mountain, and then walked into it.

The Immortal-Guiding Disc brought him here, which must contain a large amount of immortal energy.

Su Shengyuan's current realm has reached the peak of Quasi-Saint.

You can break through to the Sage Realm at any time!

Just as Su Shengyuan was casually walking along the mountain path.

The two natives of Luotian Secret Land came from the mountain.

Su Shengyuan concealed his external aura and replaced it with the unique aura of the Luo Tian Secret Realm.

"What are you dawdling for? The apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin."

Upon seeing Su Shengyuan, one of the natives immediately adopted a haughty and superior attitude.

Su Shengyuan raised an eyebrow.

He immediately opened his palm, and two strands of immortal energy appeared in his hand.

"Senior brothers, what is this apprenticeship ceremony? I just came from the mountains."

They looked at the immortal source in Su Shengyuan's hand with greed and accepted it without hesitation.

"My master, the Azure Dragon Daoist, wishes to take on a disciple. If you wish to become his disciple, go quickly. If not, hurry down the mountain."

After accepting the Immortal Source, their attitude became much more polite.

Su Shengyuan's mind raced, and he realized that the immortal source in the Qinling Mountains might be in the hands of the Azure Dragon Daoist.

"Thank you both, I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

They continued down the mountain.

Su Shengyuan casually waved his hand, and a portal appeared in front of the two of them. Then, two hands reached out and pulled them into the Abyss Realm.

"My immortal essence isn't so easy to take!"

With his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, Su Shengyuan continued walking up the mountain.

Follow the mountain path upwards.

A stone staircase leading to the sky appeared before them, at the end of which was the entrance to a Taoist temple.

The plaque bears the three ancient characters "Qinglong Temple"!

"Azure Dragon Temple, Azure Dragon Taoist..."

Su Shengyuan walked straight towards the end of the Heavenly Stone Ladder, intending to meet the Azure Dragon Taoist.

Inside the Taoist temple!

The Azure Dragon Taoist sat cross-legged on a futon, his entire body shrouded in mist, obscuring his true appearance!

Inside the courtyard! All creatures of various races knelt devoutly on the ground, awaiting the decree of the Azure Dragon Taoist!

Su Shengyuan stepped into the Taoist temple, glanced at it briefly, and then lined up at the very back.

This time!

A finger suddenly poked him.

Looking to the side, he saw Gu Sanqian, the chief scholar of Baiyun Academy, looking at him with a smile.

"Gu Sanqian, the chief scholar of Baiyun Academy, greets Brother Su!" Gu Sanqian transmitted his voice.

Su Shengyuan smiled and nodded.

Then Gu Sanqian continued, "Brother Su, there are many immortal resources here, far more than I can handle with my current strength. Now that you're here, how about we join forces? After we succeed, we'll split the spoils fifty-fifty!"

Gu Sanqian knew more about the Azure Dragon Temple than Su Shengyuan, and his level of understanding was even higher.

Xianyuan split the business 50/50, also hoping to make friends with Su Shengyuan and leave a good impression.

After all, Su Shengyuan must have extraordinary abilities to become the young master of the Su family.

If it were someone else, they would only get to drink soup.

After all, Baiyun Academy is also a behemoth in terms of power.

Su Shengyuan nodded with a smile.

A 50/50 split?

We'll see how I feel then!

With Su Shengyuan's consent, Gu Sanqian then shared all the information he knew with Su Shengyuan.

"Is the Azure Dragon Taoist a maggot?"

After hearing Gu Sanqian's telepathic message, Su Shengyuan was speechless.

These days, even maggots can take flight!

As expected of the Three Thousand Divine Continents!

"Don't underestimate him. Although he's a maggot, he has the strength of the peak Saint Ancestor Realm and is only one step away from entering the Saint Emperor Realm."

Hearing Gu Sanqian's words, Su Shengyuan nodded.

In the Three Thousand Divine Continents, after the Saint Ancestor Realm comes the Saint Emperor Realm, and there is no distinction between Quasi-Emperor and Crown Emperor.

After all, in the Three Thousand Divine Continents, there is no such thing as the Mandate of Heaven for the Human Emperor.

"Get out!"

"You stay!"

"You, you, you all get out..."

At this point, the Azure Dragon Maggot began selecting its apprentices.

I don't know what method he used to choose; it seemed like he picked randomly.

Soon, the number of living beings in the courtyard dwindled!

Fortunately, Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian were both kept by the Azure Dragon Daoist and became his nominal disciples.

They went through an extremely simple apprenticeship ceremony.

Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian were placed in a small courtyard.

What's rather strange is!

After they were settled here, no one paid any attention to them.

They did not teach any cultivation methods, nor did they distribute any Taoist robes.

Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian sat facing each other.

"Brother Gu, is there some unspeakable secret behind the Azure Dragon Taoist's practice of accepting disciples like this?" Su Shengyuan asked.

Gu Sanqian nodded. "The Azure Dragon Daoist possesses a celestial treasure that can generate celestial essence, but the raw materials..."

At this point, Gu Sanqian stopped talking.

Su Shengyuan also understood.

The raw materials used by the Azure Dragon Taoist were none other than his disciples!

Seeing Su Shengyuan's eyes flicker, Gu Sanqian shook his head and smiled, "Don't even think about that immortal treasure. With our strength, we simply can't obtain it. If Qinglong Daoist recovers his true form, his strength can reach the third level of the Venerable Realm."

"Can't we take it?"

Su Shengyuan murmured.

He didn't say anything more.

He was determined to obtain that magical treasure, but the question was how.

Ye Chen as a shield?

Or is it Gu Sanqian?

"Brother Su, take a rest. Tonight we can go steal the Immortal Source."

After Gu Sanqian finished speaking, he returned to his room.

Su Shengyuan sat in the courtyard, admiring the moonlight over the land.

……

late at night!

A thick white mist enveloped Qinglong Temple!

At this moment, all beings, regardless of their cultivation level, fell into a deep sleep.

In the pitch-black fog!

The Azure Dragon Taoist, dressed in a Taoist robe and carrying a lantern made of special materials, walked slowly through the white mist.

Push open the courtyard door!

Then they saw Su Shengyuan lying on the table, and then looked into the room and saw Gu Sanqian lying on the wooden bed.

"Such good materials, such good materials, it's really hard to part with them..."

The Azure Dragon Taoist seemed to be very fond of Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian.

He shook his head, then walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the other courtyards.

at the same time!

Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian woke up at the same time!

The two used their supernatural powers to conceal themselves and followed behind the Azure Dragon Daoist, waiting for him to lead them to the place where the immortal essence was stored.

Not long after!

Then, the Azure Dragon Taoist, carrying two creatures and holding lanterns, gradually disappeared into the white mist.

The back mountain of the Taoist temple!

The Azure Dragon Taoist arrived at a wide open space.

In an instant, figures emerged from the void and knelt before the Azure Dragon Taoist.

"Greetings, Master!"

These beings are all at the Saint Realm level, and some have even reached the Saint Emperor Realm.

The Azure Dragon Taoist did not respond. The lantern in his hand transformed into dense runes, eventually forming a portal.

"Keep an eye on this place. If anything goes wrong, none of you will have a chance to live."

"Yes, Master!"

Then, the Azure Dragon Taoist entered the gate.

The puppets, like door gods, guarded the entrance.

…………

Gu Sanqian transmitted his voice to Su Shengyuan: "Brother Su, we should sneak in without letting them find out, and then steal some while the Azure Dragon Daoist is brewing the immortal source."

The Azure Dragon Daoist spent about an hour cultivating the Immortal Essence.

You must not be disturbed by anyone during this time!

He himself is also in seclusion.

Gu Sanqian told Su Shengyuan about all of this.

He didn't dare to make a move before because he was afraid that if he were discovered, he wouldn't be able to escape with his own strength, which was too risky.

But if there are two people, they can look out for each other!

Su Shengyuan nodded calmly, then activated the Great Void Technique, instantly merging himself with the space.

Then he walked right into the doorway.

"Holy crap, what kind of amazing technique is this?"

Gu Sanqian stared wide-eyed at Su Shengyuan's retreating figure, completely dumbfounded.

But right now, the time is for Immortal Origin!

Gu Sanqian no longer hesitated. He adjusted his mindset and used the Spatial Supreme Technique to avoid the puppets and enter the portal.

Behind the portal was a huge cave.

There are many openings in the cave wall, but it is unknown where they lead.

This place is like a maze, making it impossible to figure out the way.

"grass!"

Gu Sanqian stared at the dense array of cave entrances on the cave wall and couldn't help but swear again.

If we search one by one, how long will it take to find them?

If I were to spread my divine sense outwards, it would probably alert the Azure Dragon Daoist instantly.

Su Shengyuan stood aside, just watching Gu Sanqian.

Gu Sanqian tried many methods, but none of them worked.

Seeing how anxiously he was scratching his head and cheeks.

Su Shengyuan found it amusing.

Then the Void Book was separated from the Abyss Realm and slowly seeped into the cave.

Not long after!

The entire layout of the cave was imprinted in Su Shengyuan's mind.

Where is the Azure Dragon Daoist? Where is the Immortal Source...?

At this moment, Su Shengyuan knew everything!

"Let's go this way!"

With his hands behind his back, Su Shengyuan flew to a cave entrance and walked straight in.

Gu Sanqian tried to stop him, but Su Shengyuan's figure had already disappeared.

They only have one hour.

If Qinglong Daoist emerges from the cave an hour later while they remain inside, they may not know how long they will be imprisoned.

"Damn it, fortune favors the bold!"

Gu Sanqian gritted his teeth and caught up with Su Shengyuan's retreating figure.

Seeing Gu Sanqian catch up, Su Shengyuan laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll wander off?"

"Would Brother Su harm me?" Gu Sanqian asked rhetorically.

Su Shengyuan shook his head. "The Immortal Source matter may need to be re-divided. I'll eat the meat and you can drink the soup."

"Hmm? From what Brother Su is saying, you've found the location of the Immortal Source?" Gu Sanqian asked, somewhat surprised.

Su Shengyuan chuckled, "How about we make a bet?"

"..."

The two followed the entrance to the cave and soon arrived at the end.

A wall of earth blocked their way, which seemed to be the end of the cave entrance.

"Brother Su, are you trying to fool me?"

however!

Gu Sanqian had just finished speaking.

Su Shengyuan continued walking towards the earthen wall without stopping.

The next second, Su Shengyuan passed through the earthen wall unharmed.

"grass!"

Seeing this, Gu Sanqian was dumbfounded once again.

Since no one can use their divine sense, how did he know that the earthen wall was passable?
