It's time to become a fairy.

Ye Qingge nodded and looked carefully.

Even after half a month, the blade preserved in the crystal coffin remained unchanged, and the blood on it was still bright red and dripping, as if it were fresh.

A hint of anticipation appeared on her face: "Has the Great Sage Equaling Heaven found any new clues?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven shook his head and sighed, a heavy look of worry on his face: "If we had any new clues, things would be much easier. The place where the late emperor had his accident has long been sealed off by the current Heavenly Emperor, so it's not easy to get in. In fact, not only have we not gotten any new clues, but we've also heard some unfavorable news from other places."

Ye Qingge's expression turned serious: "What news?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven said solemnly, "Your Highness should remember the reason why I was granted the qualification to investigate when I spoke with the Heavenly Emperor, right?"

Ye Qingge nodded, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven continued, "Back then, I used the things I collected to prove that the late Emperor was not actually seriously injured, and his cultivation at the sixth level of the Dao Realm was not damaged. His Majesty the Demon Emperor is only at the fifth level of the Dao Realm. The weapon that killed the late Emperor requires a sixth-level Dao Realm cultivator to activate, and the special power contained in it is not something His Majesty the Demon Emperor can use."

"However, the latest information indicates that His Majesty the Demon Emperor may have studied the power on this blade, and the Heavenly Emperor has most likely already obtained relevant evidence. I am certain that there are differences between what His Majesty the Demon Emperor studied and what is actually on this blade, but without key evidence, it is impossible to convince anyone."

Ye Qingge frowned: "If the Heavenly Emperor had evidence in the first place, why didn't he bring it out then... The Great Sage means that the Heavenly Emperor wants to use this to cleanse the entire demon race, and even to cleanse and integrate the forces within the entire Heavenly Court."

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven remained noncommittal: "It's very likely."

Ye Qingge rubbed her forehead, slowly sorting out the details of what she knew in her mind.

The incident began a year ago with the unexpected deaths of the late emperor and Consort Su. Afterwards, the current emperor ascended the throne and conducted a six-month investigation. The final public investigation results showed that Consort Su took advantage of the late emperor's serious injuries to kill him. She herself could not escape the divine power of the Heavenly Emperor before his death, and thus both of them perished.

Based on this, the current Emperor Emeritus annihilated the fox clan. Only Su Qing'er escaped with the help of Consort Su's backup plan and embarked on a journey to the land of the Great Sage of Heaven. According to information obtained from the Great Sage of Heaven, the Emperor Emeritus frequently used this as an excuse to clean up the court and purge the celestial officials who had been in the same faction as Consort Su. Much of the information obtained by the Great Sage of Heaven came from these celestial officials.

Nearly half a month ago, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven used the name of the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly to rally the demons. With Su Qing'er's reputation as the Heavenly Emperor's princess and a descendant of the Demon Queen, he used this as an excuse to present evidence and wanted to restart the investigation into the cause of the late emperor's death in order to get rid of the demon race's predicament.

Their original evidence was enough to challenge the Heavenly Emperor's original conclusion, but according to the information they have now, the Heavenly Emperor seems to have another trump card that has not been revealed. This is just a trap, and if they cannot produce strong evidence, they will be completely eliminated by the Heavenly Emperor.

"Many of the things the current Heavenly Emperor has done seem like an attempt to cover up something, and it's likely that he's involved. Even if he didn't do it himself, he's definitely involved. Now is not the time for a real investigation; what we need to do is find a direction for our investigation."

Ye Qingge pondered for a long time, then suddenly said, "The late emperor's strength at the sixth level of the Dao Realm was such that there were very few people in the world who could move against him. Why did he need to feign injury?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven smiled bitterly: "How could I possibly know what the late emperor did?"

Ye Qingge took a deep breath and said, "I understand. In that case, let me see the evidence that the Great Sage has found."

There was no problem with that. After the Great Sage Equaling Heaven presented and explained each piece of evidence, an hour had passed.

After bidding farewell to the library and returning to her bedroom, Ye Qingge's thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Based on the information we have now, the reason why the late emperor, who was at the sixth level of the Dao Realm, pretended to be injured is a reason that needs to be investigated. In addition, the special power that the Demon Emperor was researching is also a major point of suspicion. Before the late emperor's fall, he was researching this energy...did he already have some kind of knowledge about it?"

"The reasons for the Heavenly Emperor's actions are difficult to investigate, but these two points can be important targets. Once we figure them out, it won't be difficult to understand the whole story. Next time I possess someone, I'll focus on these points and investigate them thoroughly."

Having made her decision, Ye Qingge breathed a sigh of relief and began practicing the Heavenly God Transformation and Soul Devouring Technique that she had acquired from Su Qing'er, while chatting with Su Qing'er in a casual manner.

This time, the activation of the Heavenly God Transformation did not cause Su Qingya's consciousness to reappear. It seemed that she had found a way to know Ye Qingge's arrival and was deliberately hiding from him, which made Ye Qingge happy to be at ease.

With only ten minutes left, Ye Qingge stopped what she was doing, her expression grave. She instructed Su Qing'er, "For the next period of time, before I arrive, try not to activate the Heavenly God Transformation, so as not to expose the matter and cause unnecessary speculation from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and other demon races."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the next time I come, it will be your time to go to the Heavenly Court. Remember to stay close to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven at all times and protect your safety... Do you understand?"

After giving her instructions, Ye Qingge asked a final question.

Su Qing'er gave an affirmative answer: "Don't worry, I'm still very smart. I didn't expose myself all the way from the Fox Clan to Qingzhou City. I understand all of this."

"In the end, wasn't it still exposed in Qingzhou City?"

Ye Qingge silently replied in her heart, but did not say it to Su Qing'er.

After chatting with Su Qing'er for a couple of minutes, the last moments passed quickly. Everything went black, and when his senses returned, he was already on a hospital bed in reality.

She checked the time; it was a little past 9:30 when she left. She had spent five hours in Su Qing'er's world, but only half an hour had passed in reality, so it was only a little past 10:00 now.

I downloaded a few small games to kill time, and before I knew it, it was past midnight.

The time for free travel is different from that of possession. After several travels, Ye Qingge has figured out the pattern. Each travel refreshes at midnight, and the number of times does not stack. It can only be used once a day.

After closing the game and opening the system panel, Ye Qingge selected Feng Lingxiu's body and chose three hours of free time travel.

When everything went black and her senses returned, Ye Qingge found herself in a room filled with spiritual energy.

After calming herself down, Ye Qingge looked around carefully and found herself in a huge treasure trove. In front of her were all kinds of divine weapons, including common ones such as swords, spears, halberds, and daggers, as well as less common ones such as fans, guqin, and even all kinds of spiritual artifacts.

Each magical artifact exudes a dense spiritual pressure, but it is covered by an array outside the artifact. Only when you get close can you vaguely feel the power of the divine weapon.

After her senses returned, Ye Qingge saw an ancient-style guqin. She was standing in front of the guqin and could clearly feel the heavy spiritual pressure emanating from it.

There were too many possibilities in the treasure vault, and Ye Qingge couldn't figure out what Feng Lingxiu was up to. She silently asked herself, "Is she choosing a spirit weapon?"

"Yes, Dong Shen should head to the Demon Cave tonight. We need to prepare for the upcoming trip."

Feng Lingxiu introduced, "During the last operation, my guqin broke down after being played. This guqin is currently the best in the Taicang Treasure Vault, so let's choose it."

"And the three ancient swords in the upper right corner, the wind chime shield hanging on the wall next to them, and..."

Under Feng Lingxiu's command, Ye Qingge took a total of thirteen spiritual artifacts and Dao artifacts from the treasure vault before stopping. She then put them into the treasure vault's special storage bag and went to the door to have the steward in charge of the treasure vault register them.

Watching the steward register each item, Ye Qingge wondered, "What are you going to the Demon Cave for?"

Ye Qingge had already heard this term from Feng Lingxiu when she used the Free Travel Possession technique. The so-called Demon Cave was just a name; in reality, it was a city where demonic cultivators gathered, a territory that had not yet been conquered by the Yan Kang Divine Dynasty and the Taicang Sect.

If she wasn't mistaken, the next possession mission would be related to the Demon Cave, and she planned to gather information in advance and make preparations accordingly.

Feng Lingxiu calmly said, "In less than four months, it will be the Blood Moon, the golden age of demonic cultivators. Their strength will increase dramatically in three days. I must perfect my cultivation technique before the Blood Moon, so that the righteous path can truly have the means to contend with demonic cultivators."

"I have made some progress in my research on the cultivation technique these past few days, but I have encountered a new bottleneck. So I will go to the Demon Cave to verify the results of the technique and find a way to break through."

Her voice was calm, but Ye Qingge could hear the excitement in it and asked in surprise, "The cultivation technique has achieved new results?"

Having had several encounters with Feng Lingxiu and understanding her personality, Ye Qingge keenly sensed that this was probably not Feng Lingxiu's main purpose. However, since Feng Lingxiu herself wouldn't say, Ye Qingge couldn't find out the reason. So, she decided to follow Feng Lingxiu's lead and ask further questions.

Feng Lingxiu's tone became more enthusiastic: "Yes, the latest research results are in my study right now, you can see them when you get back!"

Under Feng Lingxiu's guidance, Ye Qingge took out the spirit sword selected from the treasure vault from her storage equipment, made hand seals, and rode the sword. In less than a minute, her body had already reached a height of a hundred feet in the air. From above, the entire headquarters of the Taicang Sect was displayed before her eyes.

The headquarters of the Taicang Sect is composed of more than ten mountain ranges. Ye Qingge's treasure vault is located on the mountainside of the main peak, which is tens of thousands of feet high, while Feng Lingxiu's Holy Maiden Palace is built near the top of the mountain.

At the summit, thousands of feet high, the entire peak was cleaved flat by a single, terrifying sword strike, forcibly creating a mountaintop platform tens of kilometers wide. The main buildings of the Taicang Sect, such as the Sect Leader's Hall, the Conference Hall, and the Taicang Divine Temple, were built here, appearing from afar like celestial palaces perched on clouds, giving one a sense of ethereal beauty.

Countless figures flew on swords, shuttling between the various mountain peaks, but most of them were only at the mountainside or even the bottom. Very few were able to reach the top of the mountain, and each of them was quite powerful.

As Ye Qingge flew along, she encountered countless junior brothers and sisters who greeted her, stretching what should have been less than half an hour into an hour before finally arriving at Feng Lingxiu's Holy Maiden Palace. After circling around a few times, she finally arrived at Feng Lingxiu's study.

Pushing open the door, a familiar and elegant room comes into view, with more than ten bookshelves standing tall enough for three people, and the air filled with the scent of ink and books.

A maid who had followed Ye Qingge lit incense, and the scent of books mixed with the fragrance of ink filled the air, giving Ye Qingge a sense of clarity and making her mind much clearer.

Ye Qingge waved for the maid to leave and searched the study. With Feng Lingxiu's guidance, she successfully found the notebook recording the results of her cultivation technique, as well as the animal skin book she had found earlier.

"Another approach to cultivation, as proposed by the creator of this technique, is to divide the cultivation process into four steps. The first step is to enter the cultivation path, and the next three steps correspond to a specific dantian in the human body. With the guidance of my senior, I have begun to refine the cultivation level of each step, and I now have a preliminary understanding of the first step."

Feng Lingxiu explained at the opportune moment: "In the first step of cultivation, I have initially decided on three steps. The first step is to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and allow the body to gradually adapt to it. Once the body has officially adapted to the spiritual energy, the energy will be drawn into the body to truly refine one's own spiritual power before one can move on to the second step."

"When the spiritual energy reaches a sufficient level to temper the soul, awaken the power of the soul, and open the door to soul cultivation, that is the third step. These three steps are the beginning of cultivation and truly lay a solid foundation for opening up the three great dantian secret realms in the future."

"Of course, this is only the first step of the concept. Our cultivation method does not make great use of the dantian. The four realms of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao utilize the convergence of essence, qi and spirit in the body to condense spiritual power and achieve the realm of immortals and gods. Although it is quick and concise, it has missed many aspects. The second set of cultivation methods will truly utilize and stimulate the potential in the body."

"I have a feeling that once this technique is truly created, the strength of the cultivators who practice it will surpass that of the first technique..."

Feng Lingxiu's words were still ringing in her ears, but Ye Qingge's attention was no longer on that.

Her achievement notes did not only record simple concepts, but also a set of techniques that ran parallel to those concepts. Although they were extremely rudimentary and full of flaws, they allowed Ye Qingge to find some traces of basic techniques in reality.

Countless thoughts burst forth in her mind at once, leaving her feeling utterly confused.

"At first it was just a premonition, but now the cultivation method is gradually showing the shadow of cultivation methods in reality. So, will the person the system possesses still be someone from another world, as I originally thought?"

"Is this similar cultivation technique merely a coincidence, or... has it truly entered history?"

"If it truly becomes part of history, is it only Feng Lingxiu, or all the possessed beings?"

Ye Qingge's initial guess was that the system's possession would allow her to enter the bodies of fairies in different worlds and help them complete their tasks. If it were another world, she wouldn't have any worries about her actions, but if she truly entered history, the meaning would be completely different.

Every action can have a huge impact on future generations and produce immeasurable consequences.

Countless thoughts surged within Ye Qingge, and it wasn't until Feng Lingxiu called out several times that Ye Qingge came back to her senses. She occasionally unleashed her righteous energy and Xuan Tian Sealing Magic Technique to practice her skills, while chatting with Feng Lingxiu in a casual manner.

Unable to determine the outcome, she deliberately avoided the topic of cultivation techniques during the ensuing conversation, as she had not yet figured out how to face Feng Lingxiu.

Three hours later, Ye Qingge's vision went black, and she returned to reality, her emotions still unable to calm down for a long time.

"It must be... a coincidence."

Muttering something to herself, Ye Qingge opened the system panel and clicked on the body swap option.

Compared to the task Su Qing'er was about to face, Feng Lingxiu's task was obviously simpler. However, Ye Qingge had not yet figured out how to face Feng Lingxiu. After pondering for a moment, she finally chose to possess Su Qing'er.

With this certainty in mind, Ye Qingge's vision went black as her senses gradually returned, and she found herself inside Su Qing'er's body.

However, unlike before, this time the scene before my eyes was no longer the bedroom in the Demon Saint Palace, but a huge precious carriage.

Fairy Exchange System

[Exchange Partner: Nine-Tailed Fox]

[An emergency has been detected with the exchanged object. Emergency mission initiated!]

[Urgent Mission: The one-month deadline set by the Heavenly Emperor is approaching. You must lead the Nine Sages to the Heavenly Court, but you will encounter an ambush along the way. Successfully enter the Heavenly Court and uncover the mastermind behind the assassination of the former Emperor to complete the mission.]

[Task Reward: 10000 points, Celestial Transformation Level 4]

[Since this task consists of two parts and is extremely difficult, a significant score bonus will be awarded based on the degree of completion.]

"The mission difficulty is...extremely high!"

Ye Qingge gasped. Even in the previous missions, including the first one the Empress encountered, she had never received such a notification from the system.

Although completing the task would result in a significant score bonus, the extremely high difficulty level was enough to make Ye Qingge take it more seriously than ever before.

Chapter 56 Heavenly Ambush, One Sword Slaying a Saint

"green."

Su Qing'er's voice rang out from inside Ye Qingge's body, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief: "You've finally come. I almost thought you weren't going to show up."

Ye Qingge comforted Su Qing'er for a while before asking, "Did anything happen while I was away?"

Su Qing'er said uneasily, "I've been listening to you and staying in the Demon Saint Palace during this time, but I can still sense that something is wrong. From the conversations of the palace maids, it seems that many demons have come outside, and many strange things have happened in Shengping City and even in the territory of the Great Sage of Heaven, but I can't find out the specifics."

"Besides, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven also passed by my palace several times, but each time he left without saying anything, with a strange expression."

Ye Qingge rubbed her temples. The extra demons in the Great Sage of Heaven's territory and the strange events that had occurred must be related to the Heavenly Court. With the time for them to enter the Heavenly Court approaching, it was not surprising that many people were trying to use this opportunity to set up a scheme.

The reason why the Great Sage Equaling Heaven did not speak to Su Qing'er was probably because he thought that talking to Su Qing'er was useless. He wanted to negotiate with Su Qingya, or rather, the person impersonating Su Qingya.
