Su Yan walked out of the house and came to the hall at the bottom of Yinglong Treasure Vault. Holding a pot, he squatted under the crystal chandelier and looked at the doors.

The Yinglong Treasure Vault contains many treasures, but most of them are historical artifacts that bear witness to history. They are all highly selective in their users and have no universal applicability; they are all very specific treasures.

After arriving at the bottom of Yinglong Treasure Vault, the group began to explore. Su Yan randomly entered one of the corridors around the hall, where the walls recorded the history of the human race's birth. Finally, at the very end of the corridor, in a magnificent little house, Su Yan saw the Creation Pot.

Su Yan stood in the hall for a while, then focused on a corridor and continued to explore it. The murals on the walls on both sides of the corridor depicted a Holy Spirit that Su Yan was very familiar with—the Eastern King Duke!

Both the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother are depicted in the mural. However, the Eastern King Duke is portrayed as a male Taoist priest with an indifferent expression. Behind him, the sun appears, and he holds a black longsword while gazing at a chaotic area. The Western Queen Mother, on the other hand, smiles as she looks at the countless demons and gods in the sky. Gradually, she reveals herself as a fierce being with bull horns and leopard prints all over her body.

Clearly, the murals record the rise of the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East, how they transformed themselves from evil gods into auspicious ones through a series of battles and killings.

Ultimately, the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East became emperors.

Su Yan's cheek twitched slightly as he looked into the magnificent little house. Sure enough, there were no treasures inside, only a mound of animal heads.

There were no earth-shattering or powerful treasures that witnessed the history of the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East. All that existed was a tower hundreds of meters high, built from the remains and fragments of defeated people. The beings inside were all at least at the level of gods, and Su Yan didn't even dare to count the number of holy spirits inside.

"I think I understand now why Senior Zhuyin described the Ancestral Lord's treasure trove as a garbage dump." Su Yan looked at the countless demon god corpses in front of him, which had been shrunk and neatly arranged, and his eyes twitched slightly. He opened the Universal Space and put them all in.

The Queen Mother of the West had no weapons, and the King Father of the East only had a black longsword. Obviously, Yinglong wanted to record the historical moment when the two became emperors, but he could not get anything from the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East. Only the corpses of the demon gods in the sky could serve as witnesses to history.

Actually, Su Yan was wrong here. When faced with Yinglong's request, both the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East knew about Yinglong's collecting obsession and were also acquainted with him, so they actually gave him a witness.

However, those two items were not spiritual objects. Yinglong placed them on the top of the Jingguan to suppress the countless demonic corpses, so Su Yan naturally ignored them.

One is the medicine gourd used by the Queen Mother of the West, which once contained the elixir of immortality; the other is the ironware once used by the King Father of the East. Although they are not particularly valuable, they are all Yinglong's hard work!

If she saw her descendants devouring her treasure trove so greedily, the ancestor would probably faint. Therefore, Yinglong didn't even bother to look and simply gave the key to Su Yan, letting them take whatever they wanted from inside.

As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one. After giving the key to Su Yan, Ying Long was able to avoid witnessing the suffocating scenes that followed.

With a melancholy expression, Su Yan carried the Creation Pot out of the corridor and returned to the main hall, preparing to choose another deserted corridor to continue searching for treasures and to gauge the depth of the ancestral treasure trove.

It must be said that no historical site, tomb, or ancestral home is as reliable as the treasure trove of one's own ancestors.

There are no traps, no schemes, and no unknown objects chasing after him to attack. All Su Yan can feel right now is the love and kindness of the Ancestor towards his descendants.

Su Yan absolutely adored the Ancestor, thinking to herself: "Yinglong's mother is reliable and steady, I love her!"

"Tap tap tap—"

Just as Su Yan was relaxing her mind and trying to use her luck to find an empty corridor, a sound of footsteps interrupted her meditation. Long Ba's figure slowly walked out of the corridor, his clothes were tattered, and there was an indelible purplish-blue mark on his cheek.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Yan was slightly taken aback and looked at her father, who had lost his composure, with a puzzled expression.

In Su Yan's memory, her father, Long, always had a cold and elegant face, exuding an air of nobility. He was always calm and composed, and in the cultivation world, he always said that his cultivation was sufficient. Even after arriving in the immortal realm and witnessing Long's annihilation of Xuan Tong Wanling Shengmu, when Su Yan asked him about his cultivation, he simply said that it was sufficient.

It doesn't seem like it's enough now, does it?

Long Ba looked at Su Yan, remained silent for a while, and then explained, "The pill became sentient, and it took a lot of effort to subdue it, so it ended up in my stomach."

As soon as Dragon Father finished speaking, a small-scale collapse occurred in the corridor, which was no longer supported by Dragon Father's divine sense.

"Father."

"Ok?"

"When the Ancestor appeared to us in a dream, she repeatedly instructed us not to damage the treasure vault. She loved this place very much; everything here was arranged and painted by her personally. You're disturbing the Ancestor's treasure vault like this."

Father Long's expression changed slightly, then he turned around and walked back into the corridor, using his divine sense to repair the collapsed area and using his freezing power to glue all the scattered mural bricks back together.

"I can picture it all: the Ancestor looking suffocated, screaming like a girl, his face contorted with despair and heartbreak," Su Yan remarked.

Chapter 696 The Evolution of the Sacrificial Knife

Upon learning from Su Yan that the Ancestor had an indescribable fondness for his treasure vault, Dragon Father's expression changed slightly. He then immediately turned around and returned to the passage to begin repairing the damaged parts.

Dragons are all very individualistic and possess an arrogance that is unimaginable to ordinary creatures. Just like the dragon father, he is indifferent to most things because he is confident that he can handle most of the world's affairs.

Although the process may have some bumps along the way, there is nothing he cannot handle. Father Long has absolute confidence in his knowledge, strength, and talent.

But when facing the progenitor of the dragon race, even though the dragon father was very unwilling, he had to admit that, given the personality of the dragon race, if he really angered the progenitor...

It's entirely possible that the progenitor, in front of all the dragon beings, would pull down his pants and slap his own buttocks hard.

Dragon's father is not afraid of pain or death, but he absolutely cannot accept such a lesson.

Therefore, even though he was reluctant, Long's father still obediently began to repair the collapsed section of the corridor.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

Long Ba walked out of the corridor again, the dark purple color on his cheeks had faded, and his disheveled clothes had been slightly tidied up. He had regained his original elegance, and his demeanor was like that of a knowledgeable nobleman. Calmness and composure never left him.

"The thing in your arms is a bit disgusting," Dragon Father said, looking at Su Yan who was holding the Creation Pot.

The shape and structure of the Creation Pot were modeled after a uterus, with a pinkish-purple glaze and some vein-like embellishments. Seeing Su Yan holding something resembling an organ, the Dragon Father, who seemed to suffer from mysophobia, couldn't hide his disgust.

"Is everything alright?"

Su Yan glanced at the Creation Pot. He had considered throwing it into the Universe Space, but the Creation Pot ignored him completely. Su Yan didn't dare to drip his blood on it rashly. Nuwa hadn't perished; she had only fallen into slumber due to Youchao's scheme.

"Father, what is it like when a pill becomes a spirit?" Su Yan asked his father with a hint of curiosity.

As Long Baba just said, there is a pill that has cultivated into a spirit at the end of the corridor he chose. Moreover, the pill seems to be quite powerful, as it was able to grab Long Baba's clothes and leave a mark on his cheek.

Upon hearing this, Dragon Father calmly replied, "A five-colored stone cultivated into an immortal god. If I eat it, its identity can only be a pill, nothing more."

"6"

Su Yan silently counted six in her mind, having nothing to say to her father's casual answer.

Su Yan actually believed that the pills had come to life, and gave Long Baba a good beating. Unexpectedly, the meaning of the pills that Long Baba mentioned could be so broad.

Weak to me, beneficial to me, edible = elixir?

"My father probably sees pills everywhere and just keeps munching on them haphazardly," Su Yan remarked.

"Isn't there a corridor we're planning to go to?" Long's father asked, looking at Su Yan.

Su Yan shook his head and said, "Not for now, because I feel there's nothing I need here. I plan to return to the upper level and devour some immortal crystals to cultivate."

The Yinglong Treasure Vault is very safe, which is why Su Yan can open his mind and combine spirituality and luck to guide him in finding suitable treasures.

Unfortunately, only four corridors contain the treasure Su Yan needs, and one of them is empty.

The creatures depicted on the murals inside are images of Emperor Jun guiding them as they cultivate the chaotic earth, leading their descendants to expand their territory and establish tribes. These historical artifacts, which bear witness to the Emperor guiding the creatures to cultivate the land and make a living, are not inside the house.

Perhaps the missing item here is one of the powerful weapons that the female immortal spirit mentioned, which Yinglong lent to the young cultivators?

Su Yan has entered three corridors so far. Apart from the room that witnessed Di Jun's history, which is empty, the other two rooms contain the Creation Pot and the corpses of the demon gods that the Queen Mother of the West and the King of the East killed when they were proving the Heavenly Emperor.

Su Yan hadn't entered the final corridor yet, because the creatures depicted in the corridor murals were the Ancestor himself.

Su Yan felt that he might get beaten up if he went in, so he chose not to go in for the time being.

"Go!"

Dragon Father nodded slightly. The rule at the bottom of the Yinglong Treasure Vault is to take only what you need. Dragon Father had already obtained the items he needed and didn't lack anything for the time being, so he didn't plan to venture into the corridor again to avoid damaging the treasure vault.

Watching Su Yan leave, Father Long slowly sat down, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

The Five-Colored Stone Spirit Elixir was an immense opportunity for Dragon Father. After swallowing it, he felt the gaps and incongruities that had existed in the Yinglong body he had refined were gradually disappearing, and the bloodline contained within the Yinglong body was becoming more pure.

Dragon Father is now more of a body cultivator or a weapon refiner than an inner alchemy cultivator.

………………

Back on the upper floor, Su Yan casually found a relatively large room and went inside. The glittering fairy crystals that greeted his eyes dazzled Su Yan's fox-like eyes; there was simply more than he could use.

"What a truly affluent life!"

Su Yan withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "I no longer need to worry about cultivation resources."

"Now is the time to cultivate the body of an immortal, step into the realm of immortals, and integrate all that I have learned before!"

The transition from the Celestial Realm to the Human Immortal Realm lies in the reshaping of the spiritual body, just like the advancement from Deity to Earth Immortal. As long as one possesses sufficient Immortal Crystals, one can steadily advance.

Once one advances to the realm of Immortal, one can begin to study Daoist techniques and methods for interfering with the present world through the universe.

Su Yan already possesses Daoist magic and can manipulate the immortal spiritual energy between heaven and earth, slightly interfering with the mortal world. His advancement to the [Mysterious Immortal] level is a foregone conclusion.

"I wonder how terrifying the tribulation of the Heavenly Dao will be when I ascend to the Mysterious Immortal realm." Su Yan summoned the sacrificial knife and stuck it into the ground. A white, viscous substance gushed out from the ground and spread in all directions, as if the Holy Mother of Mysterious Tong had lived a third life in front of him.

But Su Yan knew that the Holy Mother Xuan Tong was sealed in the Eternal Ice Crystal and could not escape.

After the sacrificial knife consumed the Holy Mother Xuan Tong out of jealousy, it underwent a special evolution, which enhanced its abilities.

Just like the powerful spirit-gathering array of the past, it originally only devoured the vitality of the surroundings to enhance the spirit-gathering effect, and may have caused irreversible pollution to the surroundings.

However, after the sacrificial knife has evolved, when it casts a powerful spirit-gathering array again, it now knows to actively hunt prey to provide energy for its master. Objects attacked by the white viscous substance will also become activated and continue to assimilate the surrounding objects to provide energy for its master.

Su Yan leaned against the sacrificial knife and slowly entered a state of cultivation, beginning to transform his physique from a spiritual body to an immortal spiritual body, intending to ascend to immortality and achieve the status of an immortal.

"Ok?"

Halfway through his cultivation, Su Yan seemed to sense a change in his surroundings, opened his eyes, looked at the fairy sister who had pulled him into his subconscious dream space, and said:

"Why did you summon me so urgently? What happened?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 697 The Fairy Sister and Su Yan Both Get Furious

"Fairy Sister, what happened? Why did you call me here in such a hurry?"

Su Yan, now in the form of a little fox, jumped up and down with a happy expression, circling around Empress Dowager Su to express his joy and gratitude. He was afraid he wouldn't have been able to withstand the battle against Xuan Tong, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Spirits, without the help of the fairy sister.

The power of the Holy Mother of Myriad Spirits, Xuan Tong, was beyond Su Yan's ability to contend with. Even without using any Taoist magic or supernatural powers when facing him, she could still create a sense of impending death for him.

If Empress Dowager Su hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have even been able to survive under the control of the Holy Mother of Myriad Spirits.

Therefore, when Su Yan met Empress Dowager Su again, he directly expressed his gratitude to her.

"Alright, you're too small to support my true form."

Seeing Su Yan bouncing around her, according to the normal social etiquette of foxes, Empress Dowager Su should have revealed her true form and rubbed against the little fox bouncing around her. However, Su Yan's figure was too small and tender. If Empress Dowager Su revealed her true form and rubbed against Su Yan, she could crush him.

Empress Dowager Su grabbed Su Yan and lifted the little fox in front of her, saying with a serious face, "I summoned you here in such a hurry because there are two things I want to tell you. The first thing is that I can feel my body disappearing. If I'm not mistaken, it must have merged with my husband."

"Because my soul escaped, my body, which remained in the seal, should have been devoured by the evil dragon that transformed into an immortal witch."

Empress Dowager Su said solemnly, "My husband has broken free from the seal. This means that the Netherworld should be able to interfere with the cultivation world, otherwise the evil dragon could not have broken the Black Dragon King's seal."
