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

Passing through the earthen wall, there was another huge cave!

However, this cave doesn't have as many entrances as the previous one.

On the cave wall, there were rows of doors arranged in an orderly fashion, and even though the doors were tightly closed, a mysterious aura could still be felt.

"There are restrictions on the portal!"

Gu Sanqian was completely out of options and could only look to Su Shengyuan.

Su Shengyuan stroked his chin and laughed, "Why don't you go back? I'll take all the Immortal Source."

Gu Sanqian: "..."

Stop teasing him and Su Shengyuan infused the Void Book's primordial runes into one of its portals.

Instantly, the portal shone brightly, and an even richer aura of immortal energy surged forth from within.

Just one breath is enough to refresh you, as if you've been cleansed by the heavens.

"It's the Immortal Source..." Gu Sanqian's eyes revealed excitement.

Such a rich aura of immortal energy makes it hard to imagine how many immortal sources lie behind the portal.

Su Shengyuan casually waved his hand, and the door was opened!

In an instant, a dazzling burst of light erupted, and wondrous runes submitted within it.

Su Shengyuan, with his hands behind his back, stepped through the doorway.

Behind the gate, there was a large lake.

The lake water is not clear, but rather an extremely rich and ethereal spring.

Su Shengyuan opened his palm, and a portal suddenly appeared above the lake.

A tremendous suction force surged forth, as if swallowed by a whale, and the immortal essence in the lake instantly transformed into streams of water dragons, which were sucked into the abyss realm.

"Huh? What's wrong with you...?"

When Gu Sanqian saw the portal that Su Shengyuan had suddenly summoned, he was stunned and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

He actually sensed the power of the world through that portal!

Could there be a world behind this portal?

Su Shengyuan offered no explanation, nor was he afraid of Gu Sanqian's greed.

After collecting all the immortal essence from the great lake into the Abyss Realm, Su Shengyuan seemed to have made a new discovery.

Looking at the glittering crystals embedded in the lake bottom, some of them seemed...

"It's a Celestial Source Crystal! My god! This Azure Dragon Daoist is too damn rich! He even has Celestial Source Crystals."

Gu Sanqian's eyes immediately lit up with golden light!

He even considered taking action against Su Shengyuan.

The Three Thousand Divine Continents possess numerous Immortal Source Lands, but Immortal Source Crystals are extremely rare.

It can be said that the Immortal Source Crystal is the essence of the concentrated Immortal Source.

A single immortal source crystal the size of a palm is more valuable than the immortal sources that Su Shengyuan had just collected into the Abyss Realm.

Su Shengyuan naturally understood this as well, and with a flick of his sleeve, he stored the numerous immortal source crystals into his spatial storage.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sanqian stared at the suddenly vanished Immortal Source Crystal, trying his best to suppress the greed in his heart.

Seeing the change in Gu Sanqian's eyes, Su Shengyuan chuckled and said, "You'll find that this is the best decision you've ever made."

Gu Sanqian knew what Su Shengyuan meant, shook his head and smiled, "I have been well-versed in the classics since childhood, I cannot do such a thing."

"..."

As he exited this space, Su Shengyuan thought for a moment and then exchanged a Supreme Illusion Array Talisman from the Heavenly Fate Shop.

As the illusion array talisman fell to the bottom of the lake!

The previously vanished immortal source reappeared in the lake, exactly the same as before.

Gu Sanqian was completely shocked and gave Su Shengyuan a thumbs up.

"Brother Su, I'm impressed!"

Afterwards, Su Shengyuan and his companion followed the same method and collected all the immortal resources behind the portals in the cave.

"Let's go, that's all!"

Su Shengyuan put his hands behind his back and left.

The two had just returned to the courtyard when the white mist began to dissipate.

It is obvious that Daoist Qinglong has finished cultivating the immortal essence.

The time was exactly one hour, no more, no less!

In the courtyard!

Gu Sanqian rubbed his hands together. "Brother Su, could you... cough cough, you know what I mean!"

It's time to split the profits!

Su Shengyuan looked at the scholar who was well-versed in the classics and found it somewhat amusing, so he casually tossed him a few immortal source crystals.

"Thanks!"

When Gu Sanqian saw that Su Shengyuan had given him a Celestial Source Crystal, he quickly thanked him excitedly.

In the Three Thousand Divine Continents, one can cultivate even without Immortal Source, but Immortal Source, this special product, is currently the closest thing to immortality.

With the aid of immortal resources, cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

"Brother Su, shall we retreat?"

Gu Sanqian put away the Immortal Source Crystal and asked a question.

Without realizing it, he had actually started to regard Su Shengyuan as his leader.

Su Shengyuan shook his head. "Brother Gu, how about we go big?"

Are you kidding me? Do you think it's so easy to take the villain's stuff?

We won't let you off the hook until we've skinned you alive.

Gu Sanqian raised an eyebrow. "Brother Su, are you after that immortal treasure? You and I are merely at the Saint Realm; how can we possibly contend with a Venerable?"

"I'll draw their attention while you steal the treasure. Once we get it, we can share it. Doesn't Brother Gu want an inexhaustible source of immortal energy?"

Su Shengyuan tempted him!

Upon hearing this, Gu Sanqian was immediately tempted and finally unleashed the ruthlessness of a scholar, shouting, "Let's do it!"

Su Shengyuan: "..."

As for who will take the damage and who will play support, only Su Shengyuan knows.

and!

Su Shengyuan's scheme went beyond simply bringing Gu Sanqian into the picture.

There's another scapegoat!

Outside the gate of Qinglong Temple!

Having escaped the pursuit of the black-robed Taoist, Ye Chen stood there with a gloomy expression, looking somewhat disheveled.

"Damn it, is it a coincidence? Or did the young master of the Su family do it on purpose?"

He took the blame for Su Shengyuan several times in a row!

This made Ye Chen somewhat angry.

However, he endured it for the sake of the secret treasure that Su Shengyuan would obtain in the Heavenly Ancient Golden Palace in the future.

"Who are you? Damn it, standing at the door so early in the morning."

As dawn broke, the young Taoist opened the wooden door and saw Ye Chen standing there.

"I've come to become your disciple! However, the journey is long, and I missed the apprenticeship ceremony..."

Ye Chen took out a bottle of Immortal Essence and stuffed it into the Daoist boy's hand.

The young Taoist immediately burst into laughter, "What are you saying, junior brother? Didn't you already become a disciple yesterday? Last night you went down the mountain to visit prostitutes."

Ye Chen: "..."

Perhaps this is what they mean by "money makes the world go round"!

But this excuse... is it prostitution?

I, Laozi, a mighty Demon Emperor, you…

Ye Chen resisted the urge to kill the young Taoist priest and then walked into the front yard.

"The third courtyard in the backyard is your residence. Do not wander around. Wait for your master's summons."

The young Taoist arranged a place for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen thanked him and walked towards the backyard.

The young Taoist priest watched Ye Chen's retreating figure, a smile appearing in his eyes. "Truly perfect material, just like those two."

At this moment, the young Taoist's voice was just like that of the Azure Dragon Taoist!

Ye Chen found Courtyard No. 3 and went straight in.

He was stunned for a moment.

Hey!

What a small world!

The young master of the Su family also lives in courtyard number three.

Su Shengyuan was not surprised at all. If Ye Chen had a secret technique to track him, he naturally had a secret technique to lock Ye Chen's location.

"It was you! Haha, good brother, you're amazing! You actually managed to evade the pursuit of the Venerable of the Demon-Slaying Temple."

Su Shengyuan got up and pulled the bewildered Ye Chen into the courtyard.

Ye Chen then came to his senses and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"So he didn't realize I was following him. It must have all been a coincidence."

"Heh, the young master of the Su family? Is that all? Trash!"

Ye Chen thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless. "Brother, you've really put me in a difficult position. To escape being hunted down, I didn't hesitate to waste many of my life-saving trump cards."

Gu Sanqian looked at the two people in front of him who seemed very enthusiastic, but there was something strange about them, and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know him!"

Su Shengyuan and Ye Chen said in unison.

Su Shengyuan then briefly recounted his encounter with Ye Chen.

Gu Sanqian immediately gave him a strange look.

coincidence?

Nobody would believe you!

Ever since witnessing Su Shengyuan's methods, Gu Sanqian has labeled Su Shengyuan as cunning and ruthless.

Su Shengyuan said, "Brother Ye, you've come at the right time. Brother Gu and I are planning a secret treasure. Would you like to join us? If you join us, we might achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"Oh? A secret treasure?"

Ye Chen immediately became interested!

He knew that Su Shengyuan had gained a lot from his trip to the Luo Tian Secret Realm, which also marked the beginning of Su Shengyuan's rise in the Three Thousand Divine Continents.

Therefore, Ye Chen doesn't mind making arrangements in advance!

…………

Three days passed like this!

The Azure Dragon Taoist did not teach these new disciples any special techniques, nor did anyone disturb them.

Seven more days have passed!

Su Shengyuan discovered that apart from the three of them, all the newly initiated disciples had disappeared, presumably having become materials for cultivating immortal essence.

That night!

White mist once again enveloped Qinglong Temple.

The Azure Dragon Taoist, carrying a lantern, walked through the white mist and soon arrived at Courtyard No. 3.

"Three flawless materials; after refining them, the Daoist Master will be complete!"

Let's go inside!

They picked up Su Shengyuan and the other two, then headed towards the back of the mountain.

The puppets appeared, guarding their surroundings.

The lantern transformed into a doorway, and the Azure Dragon Taoist carried the three people through it.

Standing inside a huge cave!

The Azure Dragon Taoist unleashed a series of runes, instantly illuminating the entire cavern.

The next second, as if summoned by something, all the runes merged into the ground.

Rumble...

A tunnel leading underground appeared, its bottomless depths shrouded in darkness.

The Azure Dragon Taoist carried Su Shengyuan and the other two down the path with practiced ease.

Before long, we reached the end!

A massive bronze gate stood there, engraved with numerous images of immortals.

The Azure Dragon Taoist unleashed another barrage of runes.

The colossal bronze gate roared and slowly opened!

Upon entering, one finds a colossal three-legged immortal cauldron standing there, inscribed with numerous secret techniques such as Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, and Qiankun.

White flames have already risen from the immortal cauldron!

The Azure Dragon Taoist sat cross-legged on a futon in front of the Immortal Cauldron, his hands forming hand seals as he unleashed a series of secret techniques.

boom!

The flames inside the immortal cauldron blazed brightly, and the Azure Dragon Daoist began to control the fire!

When the flames were nearly under control, Qinglong Daoist looked at Su Shengyuan and the other two who were still unconscious.

"Who should we start with...?"

After much deliberation, the Azure Dragon Taoist finally set his sights on Ye Chen.

"Let's start with you. Your luck seems the most terrifying and the most difficult to refine."

Ye Chen: "..."

Just as the Azure Dragon Taoist reached out to grab Ye Chen...

Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, "Kill!"

boom!

A terrifying burst of light erupted from Ye Chen's fist, and an indescribable pressure descended, instantly blasting the Azure Dragon Daoist away, sending him crashing heavily against the stone cave wall.

"Why aren't you unconscious?!"

The Azure Dragon Taoist was unharmed. He stood up, his face grim.

Ye Chen roared, "Brothers, kill!"

however!

Su Shengyuan and Gu Sanqian lay motionless on the ground like dead men.

Ye Chen: "?"

We agreed to take down the Azure Dragon Taoist together.

"No wonder he has such great fortune; he must have some skill. But that's all."

The Azure Dragon Daoist strode over, and with a casual wave of his hand, laws surged forth, transforming into a vast ocean that swept towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's cultivation level was far inferior to that of the Azure Dragon Daoist, so he could only use the secret techniques from his previous life to resist.

A deafening roar resounded, and the stone cave instantly shattered into dust.

This void was also shattered inch by inch by the terrifying power, and the group appeared on the open ground behind the mountain.

Ye Chen held a divine sword, stood in the void, and coldly stared at the Azure Dragon Daoist standing opposite him.

At this moment, he finally realized that he had been tricked by Su Shengyuan again!

But at this moment!

Su Shengyuan's voice suddenly rang out!

"Watch out for the hidden weapon!"

Su Shengyuan grabbed Gu Sanqian, who was still pretending to be dead, and threw him directly at Qinglong Daoist.

Gu Sanqian: "??"

A million mud horses are galloping through my mind!
