Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Just as the old man jumped up, another bolt of lightning struck straight down from the sky, right in front of Ye Liuyun, leaving the old man fuming.

"Pfft! Not again?" The old man exhaled a puff of black smoke and collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Left with no other choice, the old man had to use his own power once again to dispel the lightning on his body. After dispelling it, the old man made thorough preparations and even took out a Heaven-Rank magic weapon to protect himself.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe it! How could mere lightning power possibly stump me?" The old man activated the treasure and flew up again.

Unfortunately, another bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting both the old man and the treasure at the same time, and the treasure lost its power for a moment.

As Ye Liuyun watched the old man being struck by lightning three times in a row, large drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

She thought to herself, "Old man, why don't you believe in superstitions?"

Ye Liuyun is now certain that the lightning will attack cultivators flying in this area, but not her.

"Ah... I'm so angry, so angry!" The old man's mentality exploded. He had been humiliated three times in a row in front of a junior, and he was so angry that he released his supernatural power on the spot.

Old He roared, and a terrifying storm of magical power surged towards the dark clouds in the sky. The old man wanted to use the power of the Nirvana Realm to dispel the thunderclouds in the sky.

A Nirvana cultivator is indeed a Nirvana cultivator. The moment his immense magical power was unleashed, the entire world trembled. However, when his power touched the thunderclouds in the sky, it not only failed to dispel the thunderclouds but also provoked the thunder beasts surging within them.

Not only that, but the thunder beasts also popped their heads out of the thunderclouds and sprayed bolts of lightning at the old man below.

Each of these lightning bolts was formed by the laws of lightning; they were not ordinary heavenly lightning.

"This? How is this possible?" The lightning bolts fell on the old man, who was forced to defend himself. However, with each bolt of lightning that struck him, his magical defenses were shattered in a few moments. Forced to defend himself, the old man once again faced the lightning attacks head-on, and this time it was a series of lightning strikes.

"what……"

"what……"

The scream echoed through the heavens and earth, but the lightning only made the old man suffer; it did not kill him. The old man was struck by the lightning beasts in the sky for nearly three minutes before the beasts finally withdrew, satisfied.

As for the old man, he had already fallen into a coma.

"Why bother?" Ye Liuyun said helplessly. After thinking for a moment, she helped the old man up and returned to her previous cave.

After returning to the cave, the old man groggily opened his eyes. The lightning had been incredibly powerful, impossible to block.

Nirvana cultivators are powerful, but they certainly cannot withstand the might of heaven and earth.

"Senior, you're awake. Thankfully, the heavenly lightning didn't kill you." Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the old man awaken.

The old man finally calmed down. If he still couldn't calm down after being struck by lightning, he would be too irrational.

"Hey, little girl, thank you for bringing me back. What's your name? I am Wang Tongtian from the Flying Immortal Realm," the old man asked.

Ye Liuyun quickly replied.

"Oh, junior, Shi Youlan, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley of the Gu God Domain."

The old man nodded.

"Damn it! I never thought that I would suffer such a great loss in my thousands of years of cultivation. Not only is the lightning strange, but even the wind and rain are problematic. Hey, are you alright? With your cultivation level, you can't possibly withstand the strange phenomena of heaven and earth caused by these chaotic laws, can you?" Wang Tongtian suddenly realized a problem.

Ye Liuyun was embarrassed; how was she supposed to explain this?

"Ah? Well, this junior doesn't know either. Anyway, the lightning and strange wind didn't seem to attack me. As for the strange rain outside, I happen to have some water-repelling pills here, so I'm fine," Ye Liuyun explained.

Wang Tongtian fell into deep thought. He originally wanted to use his divine sense to check the specific situation of this area, but he found that he could not use his divine sense here, so he guessed that this power of law only attacked the strong.

If a cultivator cannot use his divine sense and is in an unfamiliar area, then he will find it extremely difficult to move around.

Wang Tongtian was arguably the unluckiest person among all the strange phenomena in the Tianlan Mountains.

With such a major event occurring in the Tianlan Mountains, Tai Lin naturally had to report it to Li Bai. Upon learning of the situation, Li Bai immediately invited his master to the Tianlan Mountains.

This old ancestor must have learned about the situation in the Tianlan Mountains beforehand, which is why she stayed near the edge of the Tianlan Mountains.

"The laws of heaven and earth here in the Tianlan Mountains have become so chaotic. No wonder so many strange things are happening. This is not a problem that I can solve." Ancestor Tianyi only glanced at it and knew that he had no way to deal with it.

On the other side, the Nirvana Five Elements Realm expert from the Five Poisons Sect was rather reckless. He directly entered the Tianlan Mountains, and the result was the same as Wang Tongtian's: he was forced out of the space by the chaotic laws, then struck by heavenly lightning and thrown down, looking extremely disheveled.

As for Ye Liuyun, Wang Tongtian was trying to find a way to leave this area, which was the most bizarre place he had ever seen.

However, many of Wang Tongtian's supernatural abilities were ineffective here. He couldn't fly or teleport, and the only thing he could do was run and move around on the ground. But his divine sense was useless now, and he wasn't familiar with this place. Asking him to run in that direction was impossible.

“Little girl, that’s the Gu God Realm. I have to go to the Gu Spirit Holy Land in your Gu God Realm. I have some things to take care of,” Wang Tongtian said with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, Senior Wang, the Gu God Domain is over there. I just happened to be heading back to our headquarters to report," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

After Wang Tongtian adjusted his state,

"Alright then, we'll meet again someday. I have urgent business to attend to and must take my leave." After determining the direction, Wang Tongtian vanished in a flash, disappearing from the spot. He then flickered a few times before disappearing completely from Ye Liuyun's sight.

"Wow, so fast! They disappeared completely in the blink of an eye. Sigh! Well, I should go now." Ye Liuyun sighed, then ran towards the Southern Frontier City headquarters in the direction Shi Youlan remembered.

The main reason was that if the lightning didn't strike her, it would easily arouse suspicion. So Ye Liuyun chose to run on the ground. However, the Soul Transformation Pill had limitations. Ye Liuyun couldn't use her physical strength and could only use Shi Youlan's poison technique, so her speed was a bit slow.

Chapter 555 Successfully Infiltrated (5000 words + 1600 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Several hours later, on the edge of the area where the Southern Frontier cultivators' base camp was located.

A female cultivator from the southern border, with bright eyes and cautious demeanor, emerged from a thicket of thorns.

"This should be the main camp of the cultivators in the Southern Frontier. It's really hard to find," Ye Liuyun complained.

But just then, she noticed something on her leg. She looked down and saw something that looked like a gecko or a lizard staring at Ye Liuyun with wide eyes.

"Go away, what are you talking about?" Ye Liuyun grabbed the little thing and casually threw it on the ground.

However, Ye Liuyun's cultivation level was warned by Lin Qingyou.

"Little girl, be careful. The insects and other small creatures in this area are actually spies of cultivators from the Southern Frontier. Don't reveal too many clues."

Lin Qingyou's reminder made Ye Liuyun realize that he was now Shi Youlan, a cultivator from the Southern Frontier. How could a cultivator from the Southern Frontier possibly dislike insects and small animals?

"I want to too, but I'm disgusted by these things from the bottom of my heart," Ye Liuyun said, trying his best to suppress his aversion to all kinds of insects.

Meanwhile, in a pavilion somewhere in the main camp of cultivators in the Southern Frontier, several cultivators at the Transformation Realm were sitting.

"Those insects and small animals were released and controlled by these cultivators, specifically to monitor the situation outside the main camp and, incidentally, to screen the cultivators returning to their southern border."

They can find a way to infiltrate into the Southern Ridge, and there are definitely cultivators from the Southern Ridge who will infiltrate into their area, so they have to be careful.

Ye Liuyun found this base camp by following Shi Youlan's memories. The base camp of the Southern Border cultivators was located in a dense forest in the Tianlan Mountains near the Gu God Domain. It was very inconspicuous, and with the interference of forces, even cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain probably wouldn't be able to find it.

The houses in southern Xinjiang are mostly built of wood, which blends perfectly with the forest.

Unlike the Nanling region, they didn't build a city here. This is mainly because their base camp isn't fixed; they change locations every so often, which aligns with the character and habits of cultivators from the Southern Frontier.

Furthermore, don't assume that the Southern Frontier base camp is unsafe just because it lacks city walls. On the contrary, its defensive capabilities are likely much stronger than those of Nanling City.

This area near the southern border is filled with poisonous miasma, which cultivators often refer to as miasma.

What is miasma? It is the putrid gas produced by the decay of plants and animals in the primeval forest. The more this putrid gas accumulates, the greater its harmfulness becomes.

This thing is quite difficult for cultivators in the Nine Heavens Domain to deal with, but for cultivators in the Southern Border, it can be said to be a natural barrier.

Ordinary miasma has little effect on cultivators, but the miasma here has been amplified by the poison techniques of the cultivators from the Southern Frontier.

Furthermore, in the hidden areas of the forest, there are many poisonous insects acting as lookouts. Unlike the cultivators of Nanling who need to rely on manpower for patrols and searches, they use all sorts of poisonous insects or wild beasts to patrol.

This time it's impossible to guard against, just like the lizard Ye Liuyun casually brushed aside. People who don't understand the cultivation world of Southern Xinjiang would probably be discovered by the other party immediately.

"Poisonous miasma? Tsk tsk, this is even more heavily fortified than our defenses. It basically completely eliminates the possibility of outsiders invading." Ye Liuyun looked at the thick white mist outside the base camp.

This mist is not mountain fog, but pure poison gas. According to Shi Youlan's memory, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would suffer considerable harm if they entered without understanding poison techniques, let alone cultivators of other realms.

Their base in the southern border region called this gas barrier the "Great Array of Ten Thousand Poisons".

So far, no cultivator from Nanling has been able to find this place alive. Of course, Ye Liuyun is one, but Ye Liuyun is an anomaly. The difference between Ye Liuyun and normal people is huge, and she cannot be compared with others.

As soon as Ye Liuyun approached the poisonous miasma area, he immediately used the method from Shi Youlan's memory to release his poisonous power to envelop himself.

"It seems that this poison technique is only different from regular magic in terms of attributes. Apart from that, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it," Ye Liuyun said after releasing the poison.

"All methods are based on the same principle. No method can escape the original scriptures created by the Celestial Venerable of All Methods, so they are all similar in principle," Lin Qingyou explained.

Ye Liuyun strolled into the poisonous miasma. Once inside, he discovered that this place was not only a poisonous miasma, but also had many tiny poisonous insects flying back and forth in the poisonous fog.

These insects are simply flying in the forest and will not be attacked by the lightning overhead.

"Ugh... bugs everywhere, I'm not used to this." Ye Liuyun looked at the bugs crawling all over the ground and around him, and got goosebumps all over his body.

"By the way, Master, what level of big shot is the Myriad Laws Celestial Venerable you mentioned in the Immortal Realm?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Unfortunately, Lin Qingyou shook her head.

"No one has ever seen a Celestial Venerable. These Celestial Venerables only exist in myths and legends. Let me tell you a legend that is widely circulated in the Immortal Realm." Lin Qingyou told Ye Liuyun a story.

What story is it? It's the story of Pangu, the ancestral god, creating the world.

Speaking of which, this story also exists on Earth, but the myth and legend that Lin Qingyou told is quite different from the one that Ye Liuyun knew.

According to Lin Qingyou's account, the great world they lived in was called the Pangu Great World.

But whether Pangu, the creator god, ever actually existed, no one knows.

After Pangu created the world, the heavens and earth were first separated, and all things revived. This stage is called the Creation Era, which belongs to the ancestral god Pangu.

This era existed for a very short time, so short that it is impossible to verify.

The era that can be truly traced back to the beginning of time is the one after the creation era, known as the Primordial Era.

First of all, there was no life in the era of creation, so it was not a world at all. Pangu's creation of the world was just the creation of a prototype of a world.

The primordial era was the true birth of life, but few life forms were born in this era. Each life form was the source of all life forms that followed.

For example, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, the Celestial Venerable of Feathered Ascension, the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, and the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Laws are the four most famous Celestial Venerables in the cultivation world, as well as the Netherworld Celestial Venerable.

After all, they are closely related to cultivators. One pioneered the Way of Medicine, another pioneered the Way of Weapons and Arrays, one pioneered the Way of Ascension to Immortality, and the other is the source of all methods in the world.

But in reality, there are five other Heavenly Venerables: Taiyin Heavenly Venerable, Taiyang Heavenly Venerable, Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable, Yuanchu Heavenly Venerable, and Xiaoyao Heavenly Venerable.

They are all the origins of their respective fields, and these origins are conceptual origins.

As for which of the Ten Primordial Celestial Venerables was born first and which was the strongest, that's hard to say. But it's rumored that the Celestial Venerable of Longevity was the source of life in the primordial era.

Because of his birth, the later Celestial Venerables came into being. Theoretically speaking, he should be superior to the later Celestial Venerables.

After all, life is the beginning of everything; without life, there is nothing.

Most of these ten celestial beings have only one title, and you may not even know what they created.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Feathered Ascension, who is most familiar to the current immortal path, has a truly complete record in the immortal realm, and is the only Celestial Venerable with a relatively comprehensive record.

The history of the Immortal Realm states that the Celestial Venerable of Feathered Ascension was born at the end of the Primordial Era, transformed from the first ray of light of the Primordial Era. He created a realm in the ancient times, known as the Immortal Realm, and nurtured all living beings with a unified goal.

Ye Liuyun listened to Lin Qingyou's story with great interest.

After walking for about five minutes, she finally broke through the thick poisonous miasma and arrived at an area free of it.

"We've arrived at the main camp of cultivators in the Southern Frontier," Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Looking around, there were many distinctive Miao villages built with wood. Ye Liuyun had successfully entered the main camp of the cultivators in the Southern Frontier.

This place is mainly for providing various supplies and missions to cultivators from the Southern Frontier. However, the atmosphere here is a bit strange at the moment, with Southern Frontier cultivators whispering to each other everywhere.

"Tell me, what's going on with this Tianlan Mountain Range? The rain contains a strong power of ice and fire, the wind is like the dark wind of the Netherworld, and the lightning in the sky keeps attacking cultivators who are in the air or flying. I heard that even the Poison Saint of the Five Poisons Sect was struck by lightning."

Many of the disciples present looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces covered in dust and dirt.

The cultivators in the Southern Frontier, whether male or female, all had similar appearances and clothing styles, with only minor differences. The female cultivators generally dressed like Shi Youlan.

However, their attire varied from simple to elaborate. In the cultivation world of Southern Xinjiang, the more elaborate the silver ornaments and clothing, the higher the status, and the same applied to male cultivators.

However, the male cultivators in the Southern Frontier seem to dislike wearing shirts, and each of them has a rather flamboyant style. The younger the male cultivator, the more flamboyant they are, while the older ones are dressed more conservatively.

A protective array has been erected over the base camp area to block the rain falling from the sky. There's no other way; the rain contains an unbearable power, and no one can withstand it without blocking it.

The higher-ups of the sects in the cultivation world of Southern Xinjiang have sent messages to their disciples, instructing them to refrain from any further actions and return to their base camp as soon as possible.

They believed that the events in the Tianlan Mountains were likely orchestrated by the Nanling forces, since the battlefield was in their favor. Now, the situation had been perfectly balanced.

Ye Liuyun's entry into this place went exceptionally smoothly, and no one went to see her. At this time, many cultivators from the Southern Frontier were returning to their base camp. After all, such a strange thing had suddenly happened in the Tianlan Mountains, and they dared not linger outside. They had to return to their base camp first to see how the higher-ups were dealing with this anomaly.

Ye Liuyun glanced around and then walked into the formation of the main camp. After entering, she removed the bubble pills from her body and went to the place in the main camp to hand in the mission.

The place where missions are handed over at the Southern Xinjiang base camp is just an ordinary treehouse loft, and there are many people coming and going from there at this time.

Ye Liuyun followed the disciples from other factions inside, but as soon as he entered the pavilion, Ye Liuyun's expression became very uncomfortable.

The scene inside was like a hellish marketplace. These cultivators from the Southern Frontier walked to the counters where they handed in their missions and took out human heads from their storage bags, making for a rather gruesome scene.

As for the cultivators from the Southern Frontier who inspected the heads, they simply used their power to transform them into skulls and then stored them away, without destroying them. These heads had always been useful to the cultivators from the Southern Frontier.
