I have the best bloodline

Normally, it's the Red Cloud Ancestor who gets to taste the blood, then it's the turn of the protectors and the hall masters. As lowly underlings who scavenge corpses, they don't have much of a chance to get cultivators' blood. Now that they've encountered a little fox demon who seems to have wandered into the killing field for no reason, it would be a disservice to their background if they didn't go up and stab it a couple of times!

"Chong-"

As soon as the monks in the scavenging team entered the forest, they subconsciously blinked to quickly adapt to the dim light due to the changing light levels.

The instant he blinked, a long sword, neither copper nor iron, came flying through the air, exuding an aura of death. The cultivators in the scavenging team instinctively raised their swords to parry, but the sacrificial sword slashed horizontally, cutting the magic weapon in his hand and the nascent soul in his chest and abdomen in two.

"die!"

Su Yan landed a successful horizontal slash, then immediately turned around and slashed upwards, severing the cultivator's head. He then reached out and grabbed the cultivator's head, using his water manipulation ability to freeze his brain in preparation for reading his memories.

Although Su Yan had never used the Soul Searching Technique before, it didn't mean he didn't know how. It was just that he didn't have any opportunities to use it or needed it, so he had always kept it at the bottom of his box.

The situation is urgent, and Su Yan can only use the Soul Searching Technique to gather information for emergency relief.

According to the memories of the scavenging team cultivators, the current situation in Gushe City is indeed as Su Yan guessed. It is because the Gushe God is not present that the Red Cloud Ancestor dared to be so arrogant, leading his disciples to slaughter the Gushe God's city and use the city's inhabitants as sacrifices.

Furthermore, Su Yan also learned from the memories of this cultivator in the scavenging team.

The master of the Wilderness Palace has not returned to the Wilderness Palace for nearly a thousand years. After testing the reaction of the master of the Wilderness Palace step by step and confirming that the being did not make any response, the Red Cloud Ancestor spent hundreds of years setting up an extremely Yin Desolate Grassland constructed from the withered corpses of hundreds of millions of living beings.

Now, the Red Cloud Ancestor's reincarnation plan is still lacking some materials, so the Red Cloud Ancestor, driven by malice, slaughtered the city of the Gu She Gods, preparing to do something big and then run away.

Yes, she was ready to run away after being reincarnated!

"hiss"

Su Yan dropped the severed head in his hand, instinctively feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp, and reached out to scratch it.

That crazy woman is really something! She's already planning to reincarnate and run away to other regions.

Isn't she afraid that the Gusha deity will hunt her down, or that the master of the Wilderness Palace will kill her?

Chapter 547 The Beautiful Woman (Seeking votes and subscriptions)

"Old Ancestor Hongyun is really playing big! Taking advantage of the fact that the Goddess Gushe is away, he slaughtered her entire family and then used her power to break the restrictions in front of the Wilderness Palace to carry out his own scheme."

Using the Soul Searching Technique, Su Yan extracted information about the Hongyun Ancestor from the minds of members of the Hongyun Palace's subordinate units, including why he slaughtered the Gushe City protected by the Gushe God.

The strength of the Crimson Cloud Ancestor was quite ordinary. According to the memories of the Corpse Collectors, the Crimson Cloud Ancestor was already a powerful being in the True Immortal realm.

Above the Celestial Realm, there are three other realms: Human Immortal, Profound Immortal, and True Immortal. The Red Cloud Ancestor is currently attempting to transcend the shackles of the Corpse-Dissolving True Immortal Realm and step into the ageless, immortal, and indestructible Divine Realm.

Human Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, True Immortal, Divine Man. These are actually colloquial terms used in secular society.

The term "human immortal" is not a compliment. At the beginning of the world, the human race appeared last and was the weakest. Therefore, when other races mocked the water immortal, they would deliberately use the word "human" to ridicule their enemies for being weak.

Although the world has changed drastically, and the powerful beings of the human race are now fierce and tough, while those in the middle and lower classes are also capable of regeneration, some colloquial terms have still survived and have gradually spread over time.

The formal title for a human immortal is "immortal." Above immortals exist the Mysterious Immortal and the Flawless Immortal, corresponding to the colloquial terms Mysterious Immortal and True Immortal. The Red Cloud Ancestor, a True Immortal, attempted to step into the Divine Human Realm, which is the Great Luo Heavenly Immortal.

The Great Luo Heavenly Immortals reside in the high heavens, ageless, immortal, and eternally living in a blissful realm free from all worries.

Ancestor Hongyun specializes in the art of Nightmare Suppression and breaks the deadly trap of Nightmare Suppression through the method of Corpse Dissolution.

Su Yan didn't know about the Nightmare Suppression Sect in the Immortal Realm, but the Nightmare Suppression disciples in the cultivation world were basically the most powerful and resilient among normal cultivators of the same level. Occasionally, one could even see terrifying creatures that had transformed into their second or third stage forms.

Take Dao Hua Zhenjun for example. Su Yan used his strength to break Dao Hua Zhenjun's spiritual body, and he was able to transform his physical body. Moreover, even if his soul was shattered, it could be reassembled. Unless you can capture Dao Hua Zhenjun's nascent soul, divine soul, or external avatar, you can't kill him. If any one of the three escapes, he can make a comeback!

The old ancestor Hongyun in front of them will only become stronger and more bizarre.

"We have no choice but to retreat for now."

Su Yan threw away the severed head in his hand, shook his head, and made the decision to retreat first.

The low-level henchman we just killed wasn't even considered a low-level member of the Red Cloud Palace; he was just a support staff member.

However, as a member of the Red Cloud Palace, he naturally knew the power of his own Supreme Ancestor. Of course, he only knew the extent of the Ancestor's power and could not give Su Yan a complete explanation of the Red Cloud Ancestor's strength.

The original form of the Red Cloud Ancestor was a ball of red ice crystal. After parasitizing it through the method of corpse dissolution, the Red Cloud Ancestor possessed the innate supernatural power of the red ice crystal becoming a spirit.

Once you step into the area influenced by the Red Cloud Ancestor, all liquids are under her control, transforming between gaseous, liquid, and solid states. When facing the Red Cloud Ancestor, one can only resist her innate power through the cultivator's own cultivation level or the power of the universe.

This only refers to the mountain spirit's innate supernatural abilities, without taking into account her own spell of nightmare suppression and other abilities.

The power of Ancestor Hongyun is the strongest among all the beings Su Yan has encountered so far.

Currently, neither Chongming nor Bai Ze can contend with the Hongyun Ancestor, who is at the True Immortal realm.

"Surely only the beings of the Wilderness Palace could quell such a calamity?"

Su Yan rode on the sacrificial longsword, retreating in the opposite direction from Gu She City. He couldn't help but turn back to look at the red light reflected on the earth from the sky, and the powerful figures of Gu She City who were putting up a fight in the sky.

If the Immortal Realm were like the Cultivation Realm, where the Nightmare Suppression Disciples were extremely powerful among their peers, then in the city of Gushe after the God of Gushe left, there would be no cultivator capable of directly confronting Ancestor Hongyun.

In this situation, Su Yan couldn't help at all, because he didn't know anyone in the Immortal Realm.

He himself would only be delivering food if he went up there. The only possibility that he could help Gushe City was to return to the gate of the Wilderness Palace and awaken the thing inside, which was the item that the Old Ancestor Hongyun had always been plotting to become a god.

The Crimson Cloud Ancestor is indeed incredibly powerful. In the absence of divine beings, she can roam the world freely with her earth-shattering Nightmare Suppression Technique. However, she is probably no match for the beings in the Wilderness Palace.

Su Yan originally dared not set foot in the Wilderness Palace, after all, the withered corpse plains surrounding the palace were enough to prove just how ruthless the vicious thugs inside were.

However, the Red Cloud Palace has mobilized its entire forces, while the formation in the Corpse Plains is not yet complete. Su Yan could take advantage of the Red Cloud Palace's attack on Gu She City to run directly from the main gate to the Wilderness Palace and use Bai Ze's power to open the long-sealed gate of the Wilderness Palace.

Perhaps Bai Ze had a premonition, because when he sent Su Yan to the Immortal Realm, he had already inserted the key to open the gate of the Wilderness Palace into Su Yan's body.

Of course, Bai Ze did not anticipate the chaos and disaster caused by the Old Ancestor Hongyun.

The main reason for giving Su Yan the key was that it was anticipated that the master of the Wilderness Palace had already chosen to sink into depravity and avoid seeing Su Yan, as if nothing had happened.

After all, she lost the most in the initial rebellion: her egg-laying sister, her uncle who had taken good care of her, and even her apprentice and the divine human race she created were wiped out.

Faced with Bai Ze's request, the former master of the Wilderness Palace, the former master of the Wilderness, had every reason to refuse to see Bai Ze.

The failure of past struggles has already proven that attempting to rewrite the course of the world is futile. All living beings have paid such a heavy price, yet it has only temporarily delayed the process of the primordial immortal realm's demise.

Given their abilities, if they had chosen to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear back then, they would still be gathered in the Wilderness Palace, drinking and making merry, continuing to explore the art of music, and discussing medical techniques that have emerged in the world.

Instead of the dead dying and the fallen falling...

The heavy price has already been paid, but it doesn't necessarily change the fate of the Primordial Immortal Realm's destruction, and there's not even a glimmer of hope. It's better to stay put, rely on one's own strength to protect oneself, sit high in the sky, and calmly watch the Primordial Immortal Realm usher in a new change.

………………

Su Yan traveled from the Wilderness Palace to Gushe City, spending several days and nights traveling covertly. Along the way, he spent a lot of time asking for directions to Gushe City, but the time it took him to get from Gushe City to the Wilderness Palace was only half a day.

Previously, because he was unfamiliar with the route and was tasked with delivering a message to Gushe City, Su Yan was very cautious and dared not travel in a high-profile manner, for fear of being robbed by bandit immortals in the immortal realm halfway there.

But right now, it's clearly a race against time to save lives; compared to the possibility of being robbed by bandits, saving time is the most important thing.

Su Yan immediately activated the transformed immortal ship and steered the floating city back at breakneck speed.

He ran all the way to the gate of the Wilderness Palace from the very beginning of the construction of the Corpse Forest by the Old Ancestor Hongyun, and then flew straight through the purple copper gate of the Wilderness Palace.

The scenery inside the Wilderness Palace stunned Su Yan, who stared blankly at it, asking, "What the hell is this place?"

Inside the Wilderness Palace, there were no strange sights or mountains of corpses or seas of blood that would surprise anyone.

A Taoist temple comes into view, with stone pillars supporting the dome standing beside it. Some off-white ribbons are wrapped around the pillars as decorations. To the left, you can see a tea room without walls to hide it, as well as a four-story building made of stone.

Emerging from the stone building, one is greeted by a garden landscape extending eastward along the wall.

The interior of the Wilderness Palace was so open that Su Yan could see the whole thing at a glance. He even saw a pile of leftover food that had just been eaten and hadn't been cleaned up on the long stone table in the garden.

Although leftover food was laid out on the long table, the wooden tableware on the table was already rotten. Some of the more severely rotten items, such as chopsticks, had rotted into foul-smelling mud.

There was absolutely no life here, and there were no ornamental fish in the viewing pond, only a few crystal-clear fish skeletons floating in the pond, leaving Su Yan speechless for a moment.

Because a cultivator's bones are also white bones, transforming them into such crystal-clear bones requires a cultivation level above the Earth Immortal realm.

The ornamental fish in the Immortal Realm were all dead, their mortal bodies shed and dissolved into spiritual energy, returning to the world. Su Yan felt that it might take thousands of years to witness such a scene.

In other words, this wilderness palace may not have been visited by any living being for thousands of years.

"Gushe City is dead."

Su Yan sat directly on the threshold, looking at the extremely open and airy Wilderness Palace, a helpless expression on his face:

"Friends from the Immortal Realm, it seems your concept of time is different from ours in the cultivation world. Is this what you mean by not coming here often? I'm wondering, there are no events here that happen every thousand or eight hundred years, and you don't see the spirit of an Earth Immortal naturally decomposing and disappearing, do you?"

The withered corpses on the edge of the Plain of Withered Corpses are a clear indication that the master of the Wilderness Palace "doesn't come often."

Su Yan had been thinking that since he didn't come here often, there should be some servants in the Wilderness Palace, right? He could simply push open the gates of the Wilderness Palace and tell the servants inside that he had prepared everything to attack the Wilderness Palace and that he would demolish their house tonight. He should quickly notify their master to come back and put out the fire.

But after seeing the scenery of the Wilderness Palace and the traces of the passage of time.

Su Yancai then understood that the immortals' "infrequent visits" might be similar to the "corner of the road" mentioned in the jokes he heard in his previous life.

This bend is probably a major bend in the bend area!

Su Yan couldn't help but start complaining.

"That's enough."

Having made two wasted trips, Su Yan slowly let out a sigh. He no longer had any hope of rescuing Gu She City. He had done everything he could, and even risked crossing the Corpse Plains to reach the Wilderness Palace.

In this matter, Su Yan had done everything he could. No matter how helpless he felt, he couldn't change the Red Cloud Ancestor's current plan to massacre the city and his preparation to attack the Wilderness Palace and seize everything inside.

It's not that there's no way, but Su Yan isn't selfless enough to volunteer as a hostage and run to Ancestor Hongyun to tell him that he has the key to the Wilderness Palace.

"Let's run after we've looted! Then we can go elsewhere and find out where the master of the Wilderness Palace is."

Although Su Yan couldn't save Gushe City, he could still annoy Old Ancestor Hongyun.

He emptied the Wilderness Palace himself, leaving her nothing, so she could experience the feeling of having her century-long plan come to naught.

"what?"

Having made up his mind, Su Yan climbed up to the dojo, which was about a meter above the ground. Looking at the tables, chairs, and musical instruments arranged on the carpet, he felt slightly puzzled.

Su Yan had been learning to play musical instruments since childhood and knew how to play some instruments, but he really couldn't understand the instruments displayed in the dojo.

There is an instrument similar to the qin and se, but the qin and se are plucked string instruments with twenty-five strings, while the qin and se placed in front of me are semi-circular with fifty strings. The xiao, a common blown aerophone, is actually seven or eight bone xiao tied together here.

Su Yan could understand the sixty-six chime bells next to him, but he also felt that something was wrong.

As for what was wrong, Su Yan couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt that there seemed to be something extra in this set of chime bells.

The musical instruments displayed here are the oldest and most complex forms of musical instruments. The musical instruments that Su Yan uses and knows are all optimized and simplified from these forms before they can be popularized among the masses.

Su Yan reached out, intending to take the multi-tube flute placed on the square table. The flute was as white as jade, and there were faint red marks on the blowhole. Its owner was very likely a female fairy.

Su Yan gripped the side of the bone panpipe, trying to pick it up and put it into his storage ring, but the panpipe was as stubborn as a nail stuck in its buttocks. No matter how hard Su Yan tried or opened his storage ring to absorb it, it wouldn't move an inch.
