"I don't know if you've ever seen the well-digging incident. When the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke was in his bridal chamber with a human man, he touched the reincarnated true spirit. Yuan Yang couldn't stop the fire from spreading throughout the house and the ground, and then died of terror."

"Well, from that time on, living beings naturally understood the phrase 'unlucky to enjoy.' To marry the Heavenly Emperor requires extraordinary abilities; otherwise, death is the only outcome. The laws and Daoist principles surrounding the Heavenly Emperors, though capable of concealing divine light, do not mean they do not exist."

"Upon seeing this, the true spirit of the Eastern King immediately chased after her deceased husband's soul, attempting to defy fate. However, the human male, upon seeing this, was filled with horror. Naked, he crossed the River of Oblivion and instinctively clung to the leg of the Compassionate Mother Goddess. Even though he had lost his memory, he still remembered the despair of that night."

"The Eastern King and the Compassionate Mother gaze at each other across the void. The Eastern King's true spirit husband weeps sorrowfully, the sound echoing throughout the Netherworld, startling ghosts and gods. Even the demons cast curious glances at him."

"This matter was thus exposed. After the reincarnated true spirit returned to its original state at the end of its lifespan, the Eastern King Duke never mentioned procreation again, nor did he ever visit the Compassionate Mother Goddess to reminisce."

Bai Ze recounted his past with a distorted expression, while Su Yan listened in stunned silence. He seemed to understand why the Empress always said that he hadn't mastered the skills and couldn't enjoy the fruits of her labor, and was only fit for affectionate hugs.

The room and the floor were filled with turbid white spring water. Su Yan could hardly imagine what the scene was like, nor did he dare to think about it.

"Let's not talk about those ancient gossips for now. You should feel a bit less nervous now, right? There are a few things I want to confirm with you."

Less than two hundred miles from the Starry Sky Continent, Bai Ze looked at Su Yan and asked, "Did you bring the elixir of immortality?"

"Uh, it was jumping around in the universe, yelling that it would punch me a few times and slash my face with a knife," Su Yan said awkwardly.

That immortal elixir had long since become sentient; anyone below the level of a god would likely be unable to break through its elixir's outer layer. Moreover, it had an eccentric personality, constantly clamoring to scratch Su Yan's face.

"It wasn't originally meant for you to eat. The Empress deliberately placed it on you, saying it was for you to chew on and play with, but that was just an excuse. Its true purpose is to dissolve into the Undying Armor, so that you can gain a period of invulnerability to all magic in its own right. During this time, the Undying Armor is truly indestructible."

"This is the Empress's trump card that she hid on you. She specifically instructed me to pass it on to you," Bai Ze said with a smile.

Now that we've arrived on the Starry Sky Continent, it's impossible for the Netherworld to have prepared a corresponding countermeasure.

The elixir of immortality is extremely precious. An ordinary being can become an immortal simply by consuming it. The "immortal" mentioned here is not a human immortal, but a flawless immortal or a Great Luo Heavenly Immortal, which is the realm of true immortals and gods.

Such a precious elixir was wasted on a temporary grant of immortality, which shows how much the Empress dotes on Su Yan.

This is also the biggest trump card the Empress gave him: if he can't win, he can put on armor that is impervious to all magic and retreat from the starry sky.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

The instant Su Yan stepped onto the Starry Sky Continent, a ripple spread through the void. A faceless, featureless, six-armed, four-winged humanoid holy spirit emerged from the void and spoke with benevolence:

"The Starry Sky Continent is beautiful, but it is extremely dangerous. Fellow Daoist, why don't you stop here? Why should a sacred being like you get involved in the complicated affairs here? You can obtain the ticket to the new world without doing anything."

"Your choice, your family's choice, and your friends' choices will all be elevated. These are the sincere words of the Mysterious Maiden. Please consider them carefully."

Su Yan looked at the person blocking his way but didn't say anything. A person walked out of the void beside him. Lu Wu, with a tiger's body, nine tails, a human face, and tiger's claws, calmly looked at the six-armed, four-winged holy spirit in front of him and said, "Fellow Daoist Chaos of the Netherworld, may I have a word with you?"

The Chaos Beast looked helpless and said, "Please! Let's go to the void over there."

The two disappeared before Su Yan's eyes, leaving the road leading directly to the Starry Sky Continent Temple empty.

Su Yan and Bai Ze continued forward. A beautiful woman with fair skin, a face like a peach blossom, wings, and black tiger stripes on her body emerged from the void before them. She smiled and said:

"Why make things difficult for yourself, little fox? Lady Xuan Nu is only thinking of the living beings here. You should know this yourself. If Lady Xuan Nu were a wicked person, how could she allow you to exist?"

"You are her brother-in-law! Lady Xuan Nu dotes on her younger siblings so much. As the saying goes, love extends to everything connected to the house. Please, Fellow Daoist Su, do not put Lady Xuan Nu in a difficult position."

"What's she having trouble with? That bastard of yours called her a son of a bitch in front of Ruonv, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was right there with her, didn't she stop him? You slut, stop talking nonsense and come here!" Gu Jun walked out of the void, glaring at Qiongqi and shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Su, hello again." Qiongqi flew into the void with a smile, not forgetting to wink at Su Yan.

On the Starry Sky Continent, with each step Su Yan took, a person emerged from the void. They might be gods or even holy spirits. They showed goodwill, uttering words that were sometimes threatening, sometimes sincere, and sometimes using moral blackmail to persuade Su Yan to surrender, all of which disturbed Su Yan's mind.

They blocked Su Yan's way, uttering manipulative, brainwashing phrases imbued with the power of a strange illusion.

One senior after another stepped out of the void. Some seniors were known to Su Yan, while others were Holy Spirit powerhouses whom Su Yan did not recognize. They refuted the sophistry of the Netherworld and shattered the illusion of inner demons surrounding Su Yan.

"You will die here."

Arriving at the outer area of ​​the Starry Sky Temple, Tu Bo, half-hidden in shadow, looked coldly at Su Yan and Bai Ze and said, "The Mystic Maiden has already laid a net of heaven and earth within the temple. Regardless of victory or defeat, she will unleash the power of exorcism to kill you here."

“If you have no fear, I will not stop you.”

"Just like slaying Yinglong, I will leave you in this temple forever."

Chapter 793 The Demon God of the External Alchemy Lineage (Long Chapter)

"You will die in the temple."

Tu Bo, the guardian of Youdu, looked at Su Yan with an indifferent expression, speaking as if stating a fact. His words revealed confidence and amusement, and his gaze remained fixed on Su Yan's face, as if trying to see some expression.

"The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has personally arrived?"

Su Yan stared at Tu Bo for a long time before finally speaking to the beings of the Netherworld and uttering his first words.

"."

Tu Bo was speechless at Su Yan's question. Like the Heavenly Emperors, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was a player in the game and had to abide by certain rules. At this moment, she would not personally take action to suppress Su Yan. After all, this fox was a subject of the Queen Mother of the West, and if the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden took action herself, it would easily cause the situation to completely get out of control.

Tu Bo did not answer Su Yan's question, his figure completely disappearing into the shadows, no longer blocking his entry.

Su Yan continued walking into the temple; he could now sense Bai Ze's location.

Entering the temple's entrance hall, follow the path between the stone pillars forward to the back courtyard of the Starry Sky Temple.

At this moment, Bai Ze, who resembled a cluster of auspicious clouds, suddenly spoke to Su Yan: "When you see my true form, do not hesitate for a moment, nor attempt a full-force attack with any intention of testing me. Suppress it if you can, and if you accidentally fail, try to suppress it as well."

Bai Ze, amidst the auspicious clouds, spoke, as if reminding Su Yan to be wary of Bai Ze's innate divine abilities.

But there was a hidden meaning in his words, as if he was reminding Su Yan that suppressing Bai Ze was very important.

Before coming to the Sky Region, Bai Ze had explained to Su Yan and the seniors in the cultivation world the power that external alchemy cultivators could wield and Bai Ze's abilities.

If you want to be an enemy of Bai Ze, don't harbor any thoughts of testing or delaying.

Testing and delaying are slow suicides. Once Bai Ze's knowledge of the world's affairs is broken and his innate supernatural powers and the foundation of his Taoist magic are deciphered, he can suppress the world with his martial god body containing the power to break the law.

Suppression and rapid attacks were the key factors in Su Yan's victory over Bai Ze.

Bai Ze, who resembled a cluster of auspicious clouds, brought up the matter again to Su Yan just before meeting Bai Ze's true form. His words contained some strange emotions, as if he was hinting at something to Su Yan, but he couldn't say it too explicitly.

"I will do my best." Su Yan smiled and said, "To be honest, ever since the trip to Yinglong Treasure Vault, I have been curious about what level my actual combat strength has reached. It's just a pity that there are some moves that cannot be used at will."

The complete inner alchemy method taught by Yinglong's mother, the Mysterious Mother sealed in solid ice by Long's father, and the nothingness in the Dao of Nothingness and Reality have always been moves that Su Yan deliberately avoids using, fearing that using them might result in losing a trump card or being sealed.

But when facing Bai Ze, there are not so many rules.

Bai Ze's life or death is of great importance. Not to mention that Su Yan has had a grudge against the Nightmare Town disciples since his debut, Bai Ze has been kind to him and even asked him to kill his mutated self. Su Yan can no longer keep it hidden.

"I am really very disappointed."

As Su Yan stepped into the garden, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, sitting by the white jade flower bed, had half her face covered by her high-necked coat, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes visible. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Su Yan and slowly spoke a sentence.

"But I'm also very curious about what exactly the Queen Mother of the West and the others promised you? What made you seem to have been brainwashed, disregarding your own safety and the safety of your family to come here?"

"Your Majesty didn't promise me anything, I..." Su Yan looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden sitting by the flower bed, a look of surprise on his face, as if he was wondering why the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was the chess player, was here.

Su Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted halfway through her sentence by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who said:

“Since the Queen Mother of the West did not promise you any reward, I can give you a price here. I don’t know much about what happened at the Jade Terrace, but when I visited Kunlun Mountain last time, I learned that the Queen Mother had promised to accept you as her alternative husband.”

"Therefore, I can make a promise here: what the Queen Mother of the West can give, we can give you too; and what she cannot give, we can also give you."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stared intently at Su Yan, practically spitting the words "sisters' rice bowl" onto his handsome face.

"You...cowardly?" Su Yan thought for a moment and then uttered a single word.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden slowly shifted her gaze and said casually, "Based on the information I have gathered and your strength has been raised to the level of a Saint Spirit, I have used the arts of divination to deduce your battle with Bai Ze over ten thousand times. Your chance of winning is only about 20%, your probability of death is close to 90%, and your chance of being injured is as high as 100%."

“You are the one chosen by Ruonv; you are also favored by the Queen Mother of the West; Zhuyin has been watching you all along. I have no doubt that after you have used all your trump cards and tools, you can achieve the winning rate in the calculation.”

"A 20% risk is enough to make me take notice and personally request a transaction from you."

"I am not willing to take any risks at all, even if this is just your head-to-head win/loss ratio, without taking into account the variables outside the betting."

"This is the only time you have the chance to threaten us, and we're willing to cooperate."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke calmly, without concealing the underlying logic of the transaction.

"Little fox, go over there! Don't worry about her." Senior Ruonv's figure emerged from the void, her back to Su Yan, facing the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden directly, cutting off their eye contact.

"The eldest sister is no longer the fairy who was once destined to be with us; no one knows whether she can keep her promise."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Ruonv stared at each other, but Ruonv showed no fear and even glared back.

Seeing this, Su Yan told Senior Ruonv that he would not linger in the garden any longer and went straight to a shrine in the backyard that resembled a sacrificial temple.

"There was no intention to deceive." Facing Ruonv's fiery glare, Jiutian Xuannv glanced aside, not continuing to stare back at Ruonv, and calmly said:

"If he can offer conditions for surrender, we are naturally willing to offer rewards. If he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter. From the moment he set foot on the Star Continent, he has either begged, threatened, bribed, or made a sincere request—"

“They will all surface in his mind when he is in a tough battle, disturbing his Dao heart. In this way, the 20% chance of advancing will be infinitely close to zero.”

Facing Ruonv, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not hide her schemes and slowly spoke.

"Despicable!" Ruonv shouted.

"Just some woman's opinions," said the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, watching Su Yan's departing figure.

………………

Outside the gate of the sacrificial palace.

"Is this Senior Bai Ze's true form?"

Following the sounds of bones cracking and flesh being chewed, Su Yan found the true form of Senior Bai Ze, who had transformed into an immortal witch. He was standing on all fours on a corpse that resembled a giant, devouring the giant's internal organs. The stench of blood rose from the perimeter of the sacrificial palace, and the ground was covered with dried blood.

Countless lives have perished here. There is no malice or resentment in the surrounding environment. The entire land is filled with negative emotions such as fear and wailing. The resentment of the creatures that remain here does not even dare to show malice. The only things they express are fear and pain.

"click"

Bai Ze, who was gnawing on the giant's ribs, seemed to finally notice the arrival of outsiders, and stopped his eating to look at the creature that had broken into the sacrificial site.

"Is Senior Bai Ze here?"

Su Yan, who was being stared at by Bai Ze's red eyes, felt a chill in his heart when he noticed the probing and pure curiosity in Bai Ze's gaze. He forced a smile and greeted the completely transformed senior Bai Ze.

Bai Ze stared at Su Yan for a moment, but did not respond to Su Yan's call. He then prepared to turn around and go back to continue eating.

When one transforms into an undead witch, one has no connection with the undead witches of the past.

They are sacrifices and warriors carefully selected and nurtured by the will of Heaven; they are the most fearless and valiant vanguard of war and war gods who expand territories.

Bai Ze, who awakened prematurely and disrupted the plan, was purged after transforming into an immortal witch. He had long lost his memories and instincts and had completely forgotten Su Yan and the time he spent in the Xia Yu Dynasty.

"I'm sorry, senior."

Su Yan took a deep breath, and the sacrificial knife slowly floated out of the storage ring. The blade twisted and wrapped around Su Yan's arm and merged into his body. The immortal spiritual power stored in the sacrificial knife seemed to be endless.
