Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Ahhh-"

A painful scream escaped her lips, uncontrollable.

That was a heart-wrenching scream, because what she was enduring was the pain of her bones and flesh being completely shattered.

It hurts...it hurts...

Ye Yuchan seemed completely paralyzed, kneeling on the ground with her hands hanging limply at her sides, her eyes filled with a dim light.

The pain unconsciously reminded her of the time when her spiritual root was ripped out by her fellow disciples in the Thousand Ghost Forest...

She struggled to lift her head and saw Jiang Tianyou's back and Jiang Yuetian's desperate face.

She saw Fan Luo Kui, who had come from the Northern Ice Palace, lying on the ground, her skin covered in dirt, with countless fragments of long swords scattered all around her. Apart from her faint breathing, she was completely unconscious, as if she were already dead.

She also saw the cracks on Zhang Ruoxue's icy right arm, and her left hand, which was also shattered and looked like a pile of mud... Similarly, only a few faint breaths remained.

Senior Sister Lin Yuan... She was sent flying hundreds of meters away by Jiang Tianyou. All she could see was the shattered guqin scattered on the ground.

It's so hot...

It felt like my blood was flowing faster, like a flame was burning inside me.

The faint magic circle on her snow-white neck suddenly flickered twice and began to operate rapidly.

The heat seemed to be suppressed by the operation of the magic circle, but the runes on the magic circle were disappearing one by one...

It's so hot...

Ye Yuchan's consciousness gradually faded away in this inexplicable heat...

As her body temperature rose, faint flames flickered all over her body, but those flames were icy cold, pure cold, with absolutely no warmth whatsoever.

And the magic circle around her neck was trembling violently...

until--

The moment a wisp of faint black energy escaped from the magic array, the array used to suppress this darkness shattered completely!

The next instant, boundless darkness surged from the silver-haired girl's right hand.

The girl named Ye Yuchan suddenly opened her pure black eyes, a cruel sneer appearing on her lips.

Here it comes.

161. Yunping's murderous intent

"You mean besides those two Origin Ancestors, there might be other... Origin Ancestors?"

The Tower of Heaven—outside the Pavilion of Exotic Treasures.

Yunping stared at Canghai Xuanjin, who was hunched over and could barely stand with the help of a cane, with disbelief in his dark eyes.

Canghai Xuanjin nodded heavily with a sigh, "You've asked this question three times already, and I've repeated it to you three times—there really are other primordial ancestors."

"But perhaps he... or they do not claim to be the Origin Ancestor, or even know that they are the Origin Ancestor—or rather, the root of this world."

"Are you saying that there might be one or more monsters like Kunxuan?"

Canghai Xuanjin's brow twitched, and he looked at his old friend with great interest. "What do you mean? Are you afraid of Kunxuan Yuanzu?"

"Of course I'm afraid of him," Yun Ping said helplessly, spreading his hands. "He's the creator of all creation, a great figure who single-handedly opened up three great celestial domains, transformed dust into the ultimate, and spiritual energy into ancient spirits. How could I not be afraid?"

"Ha ha……"

Canghai Xuanjin could tell that there was no fear in Yun Ping's words at all, at most only awe—after all, the only person in this world who could make Yun Ping truly fearful was probably that girl surnamed Ye.

Canghai Xuanjin raised his head, glanced at the clear white sky, and said calmly, "It's about time. You've known what you wanted, you've gotten what you wanted, it's time to go back."

“Alright.” Yun Ping nodded, glanced at the teleportation ring that was indeed fading away over time, turned his back to Canghai Xuanjin, and smiled. “Then see you next time.”

"When you see me next time, I might not look like this anymore."

"I hope it stays that way, or at least I don't end up as ashes."

Cang Hai Xuan Jin's lips curled slightly, as if he had long since become indifferent to his own life and death: "Then we'll have to see if that so-called Supreme Lord will give me any face."

"I'll make him give me face."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ping stepped into the teleportation ring that led him back to the Lantian Empire, and his calm and collected expression slowly disappeared.

Gazing in the direction Yun Ping had left, Cang Hai Xuan Jin took a deep breath, recalling what Yun Ping had said to him earlier, and suddenly uttered a sentence in a deep voice.

"You were able to ascend to the Immortal Path twice with a mortal body, and even disregarded the might of the Primordial Ancestor..."

"Maybe there's another reason..."

……

Within the territory of the Lantian Empire.

The ring disappeared, and the imperial royal cultivators who were maintaining the formation had almost reached their limit. They collapsed to the ground one by one, their spiritual energy completely drained.

After all, the location of this Treasure Pavilion Secret Realm is far away from the three Great Heavenly Domains. It is a mysterious little world completely far away from the three Great Heavenly Domains. It is extremely difficult for them to open up the passage between the Secret Realm and the Empire, let alone investigate the situation inside.

When Yun Ping returned to the territory of the Lantian Empire, Chu Xin, Fang Yan and others immediately surrounded him.

"Senior, how did it go? Did you get what you wanted?"

Yunping did not answer.

Chu Xin thought she had asked the wrong question, but then she realized that she hadn't asked Yun Ping what treasure he had obtained, so why was the senior suddenly silent?

Fang Yan seemed to want to ask something, but when his gaze fell on Yun Ping's face, he froze.

Quiet.

The scene was deathly silent.

Upon leaving the secret realm and returning to the Lantian Empire, Yun Ping's face was devoid of any radiance. His calm expression was filled with a deathly killing intent, and a boundless rage, accompanied by a hint of self-reproach, echoed in his deep, dark pupils.

He had expected someone to make a move, but he didn't expect that someone would come knocking on his door after he had only been in the secret realm for less than an hour!

What's even more fatal is that the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion is an independent world isolated from the three great heavens. Within this world, Yun Ping cannot sense any information from the distant Desolate Heaven Domain!

Until the moment he returned from the Treasure Pavilion and stepped onto the land of the Lantian Empire...

He sensed it.

His magic array, which he had used to suppress the Abyss Fear Ice within Ye Yuchan's body, was completely broken. At the same time, his vast divine sense could also sense that Fan Luokui and the others were in very bad condition. Although they had not suffered fatal injuries or triggered any protective magic arrays, they had all fallen unconscious...

Jiang Yuetian was locked onto by a spiritual energy at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, approaching the Void Transformation stage.

And that spiritual energy was somewhat similar to the spiritual energy within Jiang Yuetian's body...

Without a doubt—

"The Jiang family—!"

Yun Ping clenched his fists, veins bulging, his eyes blazing with fury. He completely ignored the bewildered Fang Yan and Chu Xin, and his figure vanished from the Imperial Palace in an instant.

If anything happens to Yu Chan and the others, he will take the Jiang family's lives!

……

at the same time.

Jiang Tianyou stared silently at Ye Yuchan, whose appearance had suddenly changed, a serious expression gradually appearing between his brows.

At this moment, Ye Yuchan completely lost her original posture. Her shattered right hand was replaced by an indescribable darkness. Her skin, and even her Taoist robe that should have been stronger than a city wall, were occupied by the darkness. Half of her body became completely invisible, and only the other half maintained its normal shape.

"What kind of evil magic is this? Is your Cloud Heaven Academy some kind of evil sect?"

Jiang Tianyou stared at Ye Yuchan, who was panting heavily and exhaling dark, turbid air, and shouted sharply.

Ye Yuchan seemed not to understand Jiang Tianyou's words at all, tilting her head listlessly while her mouth stretched to her ears in a wide grin.

"Can't you understand human language anymore...?"

Jiang Tianyou snorted coldly, and three purple lights suddenly appeared on the long sword in his right hand.

He was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so how could he be afraid of Ye Yuchan who used evil magic?

With a single slash, a burst of purple light and lightning flashed.

The raging purple flames transformed into three sword energies that slashed towards Ye Yuchan. The pressure of each sword energy was enough to kill a Spirit Platform stage cultivator like Ye Yuchan hundreds of times over, let alone directly hitting her.

Ye Yuchan merely revealed a mocking expression, and with a sweep of her dark right hand, Jiang Tianyou saw the three purple flame sword energies he had unleashed suddenly disappear, enveloped by an icy chill.

Before he could even process what was happening, Ye Yuchan appeared above him, laughing maniacally, as if she had traversed space.

A jet-black claw suddenly lunged forward.

"Fierce Sword Technique!"

The sword clashed wildly, and a flash of purple light appeared.

Jiang Tianyou held a long sword, the blade of which shone with a holy purple light. It collided with Ye Yuchan's pitch-black claws. The resulting shockwave caused the ground around them to crack into thousands of fissures, and the gale even blew through the jungle a hundred meters away.

This force...

Jiang Tianyou sensed something was wrong. He had no idea what had happened to Ye Yuchan, but he clearly realized that the darkness was something he couldn't withstand in his current state!

That's bizarre, so bizarre!

"Yu Chan...Junior Sister..."

Jiang Yuetian stared blankly and bewildered at Ye Yuchan, who seemed like a completely different person, her eyes filled with incomprehension.

Junior Sister Yu Chan... what happened to her?

"You wretched creature! Get out of my way!"

Knowing he was no match for that dark force, Jiang Tianyou's solemn face flashed with malice. As he retreated, he swiftly unleashed three sword strikes, glancing at Jiang Yuetian at the same time.

As always, the three swords that Jiang Tianyou swung were completely useless in the face of the abyss-like black aura, at best they were just nourishment for the darkness. Ye Yuchan casually flicked her hand, swallowed all the sword light, and then charged towards Jiang Tianyou again.

But Jiang Tianyou seemed to have already sensed this, and quickly formed more than a dozen hand seals with his left hand.

buzz~

A sword array suddenly appeared beneath Ye Yuchan's feet, with four golden longswords piercing through her ankles from different angles. At the same time, the array that sealed her movements quickly climbed up her body.

A crazed killing intent flashed across the silver-haired girl's ferocious features. The darkness within her surged forth once more, beginning to devour the four longswords and the magic array on her body completely!

But that little bit of time was enough for Jiang Tianyou to do a lot of things.
