Princess Wuxi looked at Su Yan with a face full of surprise, while Su Yan looked at Bai Ze with a face full of astonishment.

Are elderly men now coming to people's homes on their own initiative? Are there really no tricks involved?

"A routine?"

Bai Ze, who was looking at Su Yan, seemed to read the information in Su Yan's eyes. He muttered something to himself, then said with a smile:

"There are no tricks involved here, at least I won't set any traps for you to fall into. Because when I say 'giving away treasure,' I'm more like I'm begging you to hurry up and grab it, and make sure the old man gets all his gold coins."

The longer Bai Ze stared at Su Yan, the more outrageous his words of wolves and tigers became.

But Su Yan happened to understand, perfectly getting the punchline in Bai Ze's words.

Bai Ze does not have the ability to read memories, but he has the ability to understand people's thoughts and can utter simple words that are easily understood and accepted by all living beings.

In the beginning, listening to Bai Ze's ramblings was actually a pleasure that could be enjoyed by both the refined and the common people.

"How about it? Interested?"

Bai Ze said, "The inheritance of the Beast God Bai Ze is exactly what you hear and there is no false advertising. Even if the Ministry of Justice of Xia Yu came to investigate, they would not find a single problem."

"Is it really possible for something to be this cheap?" Su Yan asked, his face full of skepticism.

“There aren’t any giant golden toads out there posing and beckoning you to pick them up for free,” Bai Ze said, seeing Su Yan finally speak. “Because you need to run fast enough to find my inheritance.”

"If you don't run fast enough, slap—the happiness is gone."

Su Yan's forehead creased with annoyance upon hearing this.

"How should I put this? I'm not entirely sure if you know anything about the Netherworld." Bai Ze gestured to dismiss everyone except Su Yan and the princess, and said:

The idea that living beings enter the cycle of reincarnation after death actually originated from the underworld. However, after a living being is born and dies normally, it does not enter the underworld, but instead transforms into pure spiritual energy and returns to the world.

"There are very few beings in this world who can truly enter the Netherworld, but once they enter the gates, it means they can truly be immortal. The method known in the cultivation world as the Nightmare Suppression Method is actually something that the Netherworld spread out to select cultivators."

Bai Ze said with a helpless expression, "Because I know too much and am unwilling to conspire with them, I will naturally be persecuted, so much so that I cannot rest in peace even after death."

"After I made my own funeral arrangements, I died in an ambush by the old Taoist, but as you can see, I am now alive and kicking again."

"During the resurrection process, it wasn't just me. The Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom in the cultivation world were actually ambushed by the Netherworld. Once they returned to the Immortal Realm, their lives and deaths would be controlled by the Netherworld."

“The Netherworld is no simple place.” After briefly recounting the events, Bai Ze turned to Su Yan and said, “When I died for the first time, I not only left behind a warning, but also scattered my cultivation throughout the Immortal Realm to prevent the worst-case scenario from happening.”

"I anticipated their intentions, but I never expected that human cultivators would be so righteous, refusing to kill me while I was weak for so many years. As a result, I have now been reawakened as a member of the Netherworld."

As Bai Ze spoke, he couldn't help but sigh softly and shake his head.

You all covet my innate supernatural abilities, so why don't you just eliminate me and use me for weapon crafting?

Not eliminating me would be the worst possible outcome!

Chapter 521 A Reliable Old Man

"What I mean by 'giving away treasure' is that I hope you, or any of you, can get to the Immortal Realm before me and refine the power that originally belonged to me for your own use."

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Su Yan and said seriously, "I cannot say about the deeper logic of the Netherworld due to the limitations of the [Nest]. The real purpose of the Netherworld in controlling so many powerful beings is to start a new war among all races."

"The disintegration of the original immortal realm was due to the influence exerted by the Netherworld."

Bai Ze spoke slowly and deliberately, explaining in detail the whole story of why he wanted to give the treasure to Su Yan, and what would happen if Su Yan couldn't seize the power that Bai Ze had split off before returning.

As he knew and was introduced, Bai Ze was the only divine beast in the world. At his peak, his power was such that he was known as the "Beast God" and "Martial God" among all races.

However, these are not what Bai Ze is worried about. The gap in pure martial arts strength is something that could be leveled off or even surpassed. What Bai Ze is really worried about is his innate supernatural power.

He was not the strongest in the underworld, but he possessed the ability to directly monitor the entire world.

Before Bai Ze, all schemes and tricks are utterly meaningless. In other words, the surviving beings have no chance of winning the ensuing chaos—or rather, the massacre—initiated by the Netherworld. They will not even have the possibility of stopping the Netherworld.

As the cultivation world gradually returns to the immortal realm, the Netherworld's control over the undead witches grows stronger.

Within a limited timeframe, Bai Ze has already dealt with the extremely dangerous Nine-Tailed Fox God. Now, all that's needed is for ordinary beings to go to the Immortal Realm, collect and refine the power he once scattered, and prevent him from ever returning to his full strength.

After Bai Ze is resurrected, killing him again is pointless, as he will be resurrected in the Netherworld no matter how he dies.

He now needs a suitable person to go to the Immortal Realm to reclaim his power and use it to restrain himself.

Only in this way can we buy life a chance to resist when the world is in turmoil.

Otherwise, once Bai Ze returns to his position, the Netherworld can directly control all the secrets of the world and preemptively eliminate any entities that might threaten their plans.

"I was born in the chaotic era and lived through the primordial and ancient times of war in the immortal realm. What I saw and heard tells me that what is about to happen is something I do not want to see and do not like to see."

Bai Ze smiled and said, "If you are willing to lend me a hand, you can take all the power I have accumulated over the years and use it for your own purposes. One-tenth of it is enough to steal the sky and change the sun, and establish yourself as king in the Immortal Realm."

"If you take it all for yourself, then your power will be enough to surpass that of the primordial era."

The chaos and primordial era that Bai Ze mentioned actually refer to the era that the primordial immortal realm went through. The beings born during the chaos era were extremely powerful and possessed the power of rules.

The beginning also refers to an era in which the beings were mostly descendants of the Holy Spirit. Although they were not as capable as the beings of the Chaos Era of stealing the sky and changing the world, they were by no means beings that ordinary beings could easily mess with.

What followed was an era of war, in which mythical beasts, strange beasts, and humans became active.

Regardless of the species, only those beings who can obtain the power previously derived from Bai Ze can ascend to the heavens in one step and contend with beings born in the Primordial Era. Here, the Primordial Era refers to the late Chaos period, the earliest stage of the primordial era.

Such a grand gift, thrown out by Bai Ze, could not leave any living being unmoved.

Su Yan was no exception. Especially after learning that the Netherworld wanted to reignite the great war and control the birth and death of beings in the Primordial Immortal Realm, Su Yan had even less reason to refuse.

But before that, Su Yan couldn't help but ask Bai Ze, "Aren't you afraid that if I slack off, my collection speed won't keep up with the speed of the cultivation world's return?"

"After all, I am just a Nascent Soul stage fox. I have no relatives or power in the Immortal Realm. It may not be something that I can accomplish in a short time to collect Senior Bai Ze's scattered belongings."

The cultivation world is currently returning to the immortal realm, but no one can say for sure how long this return will take.

Once Bai Ze returns to the Immortal Realm, he can gather them all in a short time. Su Yan has no idea how much time he can get ahead of Bai Ze.

What if I just arrived in the Immortal Realm and Bai Ze immediately showed up there? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

The matter was of great importance, so Su Yan had to ask a question.

"There is plenty of time."

Bai Ze raised his hand and patted Su Yan on the head, laughing as he said, "At least, compared to me searching for a suitable candidate to teach the Yin-Yang Flow Method, choosing you might save more than ten years. After all, to obtain a part of the power, one needs to be male, and another part requires not only maleness but also knowledge of music."

When Bai Ze said this, a strange expression appeared on his face. Clearly, he knew where some of his powers were located and how he could acquire them.

"There's no need to rush to answer now, because the cultivation world is extremely far from the immortal realm. With your current strength, there's no possibility of you ascending from the cultivation world."

"The journey from the Immortal Realm to the Cultivation Realm is like going down a slide in a flash, while going from the Cultivation Realm to the Immortal Realm is like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate."

Bai Ze patted Su Yan's head, and after confirming that Su Yan had any thoughts about his power, he stood up from the deck of the immortal ship and said, "I told you this not to get any promises. The fact that you are willing to go has already done me a great favor."

"There's no need to feel pressured. Nothing is guaranteed to succeed. Just make sure you're worthy of your efforts and hard work in the process."

After Bai Ze finished saying what he needed to say, he removed the shield against spying and the spiritual energy barrier, and his figure slowly disappeared from the deck of the floating city.

He had gotten the answer he wanted and saw no need to stay any longer; lingering too long would only attract the attention of the underworld's lackeys.

If the cultivation world and the immortal realm were closer, and Su Yan still chose to go there the next time they met, Bai Ze would lend Su Yan a hand and send him to the immortal realm.

Of course, when asking Su Yan about these things, Bai Ze actually hid some topics and did not tell Su Yan.

Su Yan may be penniless in the Immortal Realm, but Bai Ze is not an unknown figure there. Over the years, he has some close and reliable friends.

If Su Yan really chooses to go to the Immortal Realm, then Bai Ze will give him his own landscape token, allowing Su Yan to temporarily gain a foothold in the Immortal Realm with the help of his friends.

They won't be completely ignorant of what's going on above, running around like blind flies.

Su Yan and Princess Wuxi watched Bai Ze leave.

"Do you need me to pinch you?" Princess Wuxi slowly withdrew her gaze and asked Su Yan.

"Uh, can you step on my tail? I feel like I'm dreaming," Su Yan said.

"Oh"

"Waaaaah—"

Chapter 522 Does Your Excellency Need a Guide? (Third Update, Please Vote)

"Waaaaah—"

Although the experience just now, and what Senior Bai Ze said was so outrageous that Su Yan felt like he was dreaming, he subconsciously asked Princess Wuxi to kick his tail.

The princess didn't actually step on Su Yan's tail, but instead raised her hand and pinched Su Yan's little fox bottom. Su Yan immediately whimpered and started jumping around, clutching her bottom.

Su Yan was absolutely certain that he wasn't dreaming; Senior Bai Ze hadn't been bragging and had genuinely given him a great opportunity to get something for nothing.

"I didn't expect you to be so secretive!" Princess Wuxi reached out and caught Su Yan as he jumped up, a malicious expression on her face. "You even kept something so important from me, huh? Are you afraid I'll lock you in the cellar and torture you?"

Although there were no outsiders inside the floating city, everyone else was watching this side, so the princess did not reveal anything about Su Yan while she was playing around.

After all, this kid really has a conscience; when he sees enemies ahead, he will genuinely try to block them.

"I might get struck by lightning." Su Yan could tell that the princess was joking. He looked helpless and spread his little fox hand to indicate that he did not intend to hide his special skills and abilities when he joined the company, but unfortunately, the heavens did not cooperate.

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

The journey to Qinghai Lake town for breakfast was disrupted by the escape of Bai Lian, the sect leader of Liuyun Sect, which triggered a series of unforeseen changes and caused devastating damage to the area within three miles of Qinghai Lake. The gushing lake water destroyed everything around it.

Fortunately, the towns surrounding Qinghai Lake were built on relatively high ground and were not damaged, so Su Yan and the princess's trip was not in vain.

"My lords, do you still need any apprentices?"

The group arrived at the Qinghai Lake Inn. Because of their nine-tailed fox bloodline, Su Yan and the princess sat directly in the private room reserved for the nine-tailed fox clan. The private room, nestled in the towering tree canopy, allowed the noble nine-tailed foxes inside to enjoy a panoramic view of Qinghai Lake.

The black fish monster, which was originally half-dead, and the tadpole demon, who was reluctant to cooperate, now looked at Su Yan and Princess Wuxi with a shy expression in their eyes.

The sect leader of Liuyun Sect, Daoist Liuyun, and the immortal, a great immortal among the tadpole demons and black fish monsters, was a domineering and evil-doing figure in a corner of the Duguang Wilderness region. However, when he fell into the cultivation world, his immortal body was kicked to pieces by a large tail with two horns on its head in less than three incense sticks' time.

Then, the head of the Flowing Cloud Taoist was forcibly twisted off by a dark shadow and used as a meteor hammer, which shocked the tadpole demon and the black fish monster.

That Daoist Liuyun was a terrifying figure who could scare himself to death just by showing up, but when he came to the cultivation world, he was arrogant for only a short while before he died without even a chance for his primordial spirit to escape.

The two noble people in front of me know big shots who can kick Liuyun Daoren's immortal body to pieces. If I cling to these two noble people and act as their lackeys, will I still have to worry about where my next meal will come from?

"Wang Wang Wang-"

The black fish monster and the tadpole demon changed their races and looked at Su Yan and the princess with expectant faces, hoping to be chosen by the adults as the vanguard and guides for invading the immortal realm.
