I have the best bloodline

The proud insect's true form resembles a spider, with a human face formed by patterns on its upturned belly. So much so that legends circulate in the cultivation world that the proud insect of Pingfeng Mountain has two heads and one body, surrounded by vicious insects and venomous beasts.

The small white balls on the ground have different patterns, but they all share the common feature of human face patterns, which is also the most distinctive feature of the proud insects' appearance.

My aunt's arrival seemed to awaken the little worms basking in the sun on the lawn. One by one, the white, round creatures opened their pincers and looked at the intruder.

"Don't land on the ground. There might be shed hairs from small insects on the lawn; they're highly poisonous, and touching them will basically result in amputation."

After warning the two little foxes, Auntie looked at the little hedgehogs who were gradually surrounding her with curious expressions and said, "Alright, alright, I know you haven't met your aunt yet. Here are the gifts I brought for you."

As she spoke, the aunt took out a handful of spirit stones from her storage ring, squatted down, and used the spirit stones as pacifiers to put them into the mouths of the little rascals.

Seeing the spirit stone that was larger than themselves, the baby worms covered in stinging hairs immediately rushed to it, opened their little mouths, and began to suck on it.

As the venom of the baby worms seeped out, the hard spirit stone gradually began to dissolve the pits, and the baby worms happily sucked up the nectar containing the deadly poison.

"Some things really are hereditary," Su Yan remarked, watching the baby worms huddle together, savoring their spoils.

"Given the formation they just formed, you really can't escape unless you have the ability to fly or burrow underground."

“They are all promising talents,” Auntie nodded in agreement, but then added, “However, they are still just a bunch of troublesome kids right now. They are still a little short of being able to support themselves.”

As my aunt spoke, she bypassed the proud little insects basking in the sun on the lawn and enjoying the Ling Shi ice cream, and entered the village.

My aunt looked around and, feeling a little strange, walked toward the old man's house.

The Pride Insect Clan has a large number of members. Even though many members do not live in Pingfeng Mountain but instead do big business in the cultivation world, there are still thousands of Pride Insect Clan members living in the village.

But on the way back today, she didn't see any members of the Jiaochong clan, and when she arrived in the village, she didn't see any of them either. This strange scene inevitably made her aunt wonder.

"There will be no one at the ancestor's house later, so we'll just use the communication jade."

The aunt muttered to herself as she led the two little foxes to the ancestor's house. The proud ancestor did not live on the island of Crescent Lake, but in the village walled city.

The bookstore on the small island of Crescent Lake is a gathering place for arrogant people plotting their grand schemes, and it is generally not open to the public.

After a few miles of walking in an instant, Auntie finally met the members of the Pride Insect Clan whom she had not seen before.

They manifested their true forms one or two at a time, all perched on the roof of the proud insect ancestor's house, peering intently into the enclosed building through the future central courtyard. The giant spider's breezy, birth-like rear end swayed.

"Old moth, what are you all looking at?"

The aunt approached the gate of the walled building, which was already surrounded by the arrogant insects. She patted a familiar clansman in front of her and asked what had happened inside.

"Oh? Old Qiong? Long time no see."

A girl, about the same height as her aunt, with two small braids and wearing a low-cut dress, turned around and, upon seeing her aunt's face, her expression lit up with surprise and delight.

"You've come back just in time. A couple of days ago, the Ancestor slaughtered three immortals and is slicing them up now! After we finish studying those immortal bodies, we insects should be able to get a slice or two of meat to taste."

"Huh? An immortal?"

The three women—Auntie, Su Yan, and Princess Wuxi—looked in astonishment at the walls and the members of the Pride Insects clinging to the rooftops. They spoke again, their voices rising and falling as if they had lost their voices, "Huh?"

Chapter 502 Flowing Cloud Sect

"An immortal? Huh?"

The things that the moth said caused the aunt, nephew, and Princess Wuxi to look on with surprise and doubt, unsure whether what the moth said was true or false.

"We should have finished the research by now, and we should be able to start dividing them soon." Seeing the disbelief on her aunt's face, the moth didn't say much, but just let her aunt climb up to the roof to take a look.

Two days ago, the ancestor did indeed kill three immortals. He even went to the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory and invited the Moon Rabbit Physician, as well as the Nine-Tailed Fox, Golden Crow, and Heavenly Dog Clan Demon King to watch the entire process of dissecting the immortals and study the differences between their bodies and those of other beings from the cultivation world.

The research is nearing its end, and the three immortals have now been reduced to a pile of slices.

"I don't believe it! There are no immortals!"

Auntie looked incredulous and squeezed her way into the inner part of the gatehouse, pushing and pulling her forward. After some time, she reached the front, where Su Yan and Princess Wuxi, the two little foxes, went from lying down to standing on her shoulders.

Su Yan and Princess Wuxi already knew about the changes taking place in the cultivation world during the time of Xia Yu.

However, while Xia Yu was devouring people, he didn't expect that in the demon realm, he could actually see those wild spatial gaps spitting things out from the immortal realm.

........................

The sun shone brightly above the walled building, its rays streaming directly into the courtyard from the skylight. Three bed boards covered with red cloth were placed end to end in the courtyard. A rabbit-eared girl dressed in blood-stained white clothes was slowly removing the clothes from her body that were meant to protect her from the splashing liquid.

What's even more bizarre is that the creature, despite being so dismembered, still retains its vitality, making it difficult to discern whether it's due to the physician's exceptional skill or the presence of truly mysterious and divine power from the three immortals.

If we put them together, they should be able to come back to life, right?

These were the strange thoughts that first popped into Su Yan and the princess's minds when they saw piles of dismembered remains of living beings.

The autopsy has been completed.

After removing her face mask, the Moon Rabbit Physician looked at the divine beasts and demon kings sitting upright by the second-floor railing and said softly, "The three immortals are indeed slightly different from us, but those differences are negligible, just like when we shed our mortal bodies and condense our Dharma bodies when we advance to Earth Immortals."

"If we want to study them in depth, we may need to dissect their nascent souls as well."

Three immortals came from the Immortal Realm to the Cultivation Realm. They discovered that there was no immortal spiritual energy in the Cultivation Realm and misjudged the situation within it. They headed straight for the Eastern Continent, intending to capture spirit beasts in the demon race's stronghold.

The first stop the immortals arrived at was Pingfeng Mountain, where they forced their way through the outer layer of the silk net formation.

The arrogant insect ancestor faced the three immortals who had crippled them and were now terrified after their defeat. They quickly revealed that they came from the immortal realm and had something to threaten the arrogant insect ancestor.

However, the Proud Insect Ancestor wasn't buying it at all; destroying corpses and eliminating traces was the Proud Insect's forte. The Proud Insect Ancestor initially thought the Three Fools were teasing him, but unexpectedly, when reading their memories, he discovered that these Three Fools really had fallen from the Immortal Realm into the Cultivation Realm.

Of course, once the Soul Searching Technique was used, it was discovered that the void forces mentioned by the three people in front of them did not exist. The three of them were just unlucky guys who were middle to high-ranking members of a local power and were swept into the cultivation world by a spatial gap while they were preparing to sneak into a tomb at night.

They thought they had struck it rich and could suppress these natives with their immortal power, but they didn't know that the natives of this small world of cultivation were once a glorious clan with immortal spiritual energy. Don't think that the old monsters of the cultivation world are ignorant.

They slaughtered even the True Immortals who anchored the world, and now they dare to act recklessly as Earth Immortals who haven't even reached the Celestial Realm.

"Then let's dissect their nascent souls as well! Let's see if we can extract any immortal spiritual energy from them." After listening to the Moon Rabbit Physician's report, the Golden Crow Demon King looked at the nascent souls trembling in mid-air, pierced by iron chains, and spoke with great interest to decide their fate.

For the great divine beast clans, the Immortal Realm was not something too new. Their clan histories clearly recorded events in the primordial Immortal Realm, and they all had a systematic understanding of it.

What truly attracts them is the immortal spiritual energy that has always been lacking in the cultivation world.

Currently, although the leaders of the five continents and four seas have reached a consensus on infiltrating the Immortal Realm, they are currently busy studying the remains of the two True Immortals of Heaven and Earth and have no immediate intention of going to the Immortal Realm.

If we could extract enough immortal spiritual energy from these three fools, and then negotiate with the arrogant insects to transfer the immortal spiritual energy to the leaders, increasing their chances of breaking through to higher realms or increasing their power, it would be a good thing.

"You...you dare! Our sect leader will not let you go when he learns of our deaths. When that happens, our Liuyun Sect will slaughter your entire small world."

Seeing that the demons were serious, the three immortals struggled frantically on the chains, their faces filled with terror, and they roared threatening words in a broken scream.

“All you do is spout meaningless nonsense, you poor bastards who don’t even have a single immortal crystal,” the proud worm ancestor said calmly. “Drag them all to the Green Lake and soak them until their mouths soften, then drag them here and behead them.”

The immortal crystals mentioned by the proud insect ancestor are special resources in the primordial immortal realm, which can only be refined by cultivators at the true immortal realm. They are somewhat similar to spirit stones.

These three penniless babblers had only some spirit stones and magical artifacts in their storage rings, along with a few tattered books related to the Nightmare Suppression Technique—not a single penny of profit!

"Bastards! Our sect leader will not let you despicable and shameless demon beasts get away with this! When the sect leader discovers we are missing, he will definitely avenge us!"

"Senior Proud Insect, what do you think? Should we skin two alive to lure their sect leader over? Their sect leader's cultivation level shouldn't be too strong. Perhaps we can get some immortal crystals from their sect leader?" the Golden Crow Demon King suggested.

"If it were possible, it would be a good thing. Some resources from the cultivation world could be exchanged for immortal crystals, but it wouldn't be very meaningful." Ancestor Jiaochong shook his head and said, "These three poor ghosts only resort to digging up graves because they are so poor that they can't even afford to cook. The sect leader of Liuyun Sect spends all his time indulging in matters of men and women and completely neglects the sect."

"By the time he realizes that the sect members have disappeared, we will probably already be established in the Immortal Realm."

The old patriarch of the arrogant insects had already been polite in his words, without directly saying: "The Flowing Cloud Sect is a bunch of dead poor devils."

As the proud ant ancestor spoke, he stood up from his seat, looked at his aunt and the little foxes gathered in front of the door, and waved to them, signaling them to come upstairs to talk.

"It's rare for you to come home. Did you bring any valuable gifts for your ancestor? If not, all we can do here is offer you hot water." The proud worm ancestor teased his aunt with a smile.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 503 features the (hardcore) charm of the Su family fox.

"Please come in and sit down!"

After waiting for his aunt and the other two to come upstairs, the proud worm ancestor invited everyone to a tea room. Meanwhile, the three talkative immortals were subjected to the punishment of being immersed in the Green Lake, and the proud worm dragged their nascent souls toward Crescent Lake.

The green water of Crescent Lake is not like that of a pond, where excessive nutrients lead to algae growth and thus appear green. The green color of Crescent Lake is due to the presence of a highly toxic substance.

Generation after generation of baby gnats often lie on the grass to sunbathe when they are young. When they are thirsty, they lie down in Crescent Lake and drink gulps of water. During this time, the venomous hairs and saliva of the gnats fall into the lake, causing irreversible changes to the lake's ecosystem.

Immersing the nascent soul in the poisonous pool that corrodes bones and burns the soul should soften the mouths of the three great immortals.

If it can't be softened, just dissolve it in Crescent Lake to provide some nutrients for the baby worms. Either way, it's a win-win situation.

"Ancestor, will this really work?"

After sitting in the tea room for a while, my aunt also served the ancestor top-grade spiritual tea produced by the Xia Yu Dynasty. Su Yan, who was sitting side by side with Princess Wuxi on the same chair, pulled his hand onto the table and asked with a curious expression:

"Why not just kill those three? Aren't you worried that the Flowing Cloud Sect they mentioned might come along the way?"

This was the question that Su Yan had been wanting to ask ever since she entered the room.

Under the rule of the leaders of the Five Continents and Four Seas, there are no major conflicts in the cultivation world. Therefore, it is rare to see real battles between powerful figures. However, Su Yan has also traveled through most of the original continent in the past few years.

He deeply understood a principle: the cultivation system in the cultivation world is extremely complex, and the true combat strength between cultivators of the same level and type can vary drastically due to the influence of techniques, bloodlines, and supernatural powers.

This doesn't even take into account the influence of secret techniques, elixirs, and demonic artifacts. If all of these were taken into account, the difference between cultivators of the same level and type might be so great that they could no longer be considered the same species.

If the gap between cultivators of the same level and type in the cultivation world is so vast, then the foundation and accumulated experience of the immortal realm must be something that the cultivation world cannot match.

The monsters in the Immortal Realm should be even more ferocious. A powerful cultivator of the same level and type should be able to easily kill a hundred or so cultivators of the same level and type with one hand, right?

"Oh?"

The proud ancestor paused slightly in his tea-making hand, then looked at Su Yan, who was lying face down on the table, and said with a smile:

"Judging from what you've said, you little fox also know something about the Primordial Immortal Realm?"

Su Yan nodded slightly. His cultivation level might not be anything special in the cultivation world, but because he had dealt with the Nightmare Town sect a lot and had served as a county magistrate in the Flower Region, he had read some historical documents of the Huayao ethnic group and knew some things about the Holy Spirits.

The Huayao people in the Huahua region also had ancestors who followed a powerful innate holy spirit. Although his name is not recorded in historical documents, it can be vaguely seen that he participated in the earliest war among all races.

In the earliest stages of the War of All Races, it was the Holy Spirits and the Divine Human races who dominated the battlefield, drawing the entire primordial immortal realm into the flames of war and re-establishing territories.

Unfortunately, the human race was not powerful at that time, and the Huayao tribe was merely a follower, always in a dispensable position. Therefore, those tattered historical documents did not contain more comprehensive records, but only recorded the principles of conduct and interpersonal relationships taught by that holy spirit.

"Since you understand the primordial immortal realm, you should know one principle."

The proud worm patriarch chuckled and said, "Our world is essentially a corner of the original immortal realm. It's just that our cultivation world doesn't have immortal spiritual energy, which indirectly leads to the highest realm of cultivation being locked at the Celestial Realm."

"When immortals descend into the cultivation world, once they exhaust their immortal energy, they are nothing more than celestial beings. The Flowing Cloud Sect has invaded the cultivation world today, and we can slaughter their entire Flowing Cloud Sect tonight and twist off that immortal's head to use as a football."
