"How can it be so simple? Is it because this place has been rumored to be too powerful, causing us to misjudge the intensity of the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace trial?" someone questioned.

"How could that be? Decades ago, a cultivator in our valley at the mid-stage of the Divine Soul Realm refused to believe in evil and insisted on entering the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace. He died at the third level. I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be fake? This little girl is so strange. I don't know why, but she gives me a feeling of fear." A young man looked at Ye Liuyun and couldn't help but tense up.

Because he felt that Ye Liuyun was like the nemesis of their poison-type cultivators, and poison seemed quite powerless in the face of his methods.

The pill Ye Liuyun used was a special pill for dealing with plant-type monsters, called the Monster-Attracting Pill. This pill has an irresistible attraction to plant-type monsters.

Of course, pills themselves are extremely beneficial to plant-type monsters. Ye Liuyun's pills are currently of three types: those for humans, those for wild beasts, and those for plants. The ones for plants naturally also have an effect on plant monsters.

"Oh my, look at this little cutie, swimming around in my pill like a fish." Ye Liuyun held the Demon-Attracting Pill up to his eyes and stared at it closely.

"Little girl, have you thought this through? This Nether Vine has cultivated to such a level that it must have been carefully nurtured by someone. Plants transforming into demons is already rare, and a plant demon that can cultivate to the Four Extremes Secret Realm is even more precious. I don't think the people of Ten Thousand Poison Valley will necessarily let you take it away," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun must have thought about this.

"Never mind him, let's subdue him first. If he's unwilling to give it to me, I'll just give it back to them later. If he's willing to give it to me, then Little Peach will have a playmate. I'll take this guy back and let him play with Little Peach." That was Ye Liuyun's plan.

In reality, it wouldn't be difficult for Ye Liuyun to create plant monsters, but she wasn't that bored.

Now that we've cleared level four, it's time for level five.

"Huh? What's blocking this way again? Why are there so many coffins?" Ye Liuyun had already arrived at the entrance of the fifth level.

This level is quite large, and the coffins inside make it look rather eerie.

The people outside were all very quiet at this moment, watching Ye Liuyun's next move intently. Granny Jinhua stopped making boastful remarks.

"The fifth level is the Poison Man Formation. Lying inside are the disciples who died in this area back then. I refined their corpses into poison men to guard this place. The weakest of these poison men is at least at the Divine Body Realm," Granny Jin Hua murmured.

Poison puppets, also known as poisonous golems, are a type of puppetry. They involve soaking the corpses of deceased cultivators in a specially prepared poison for an extended period, then inserting Gu worms and controlling them with incantations. This is considered a relatively advanced form of puppetry.

Poisonous people are different from common puppets. Their entire bodies are covered in toxins, and they also have the hard bodies of puppets. In addition, they are controlled by Gu worms. Once they are revived, they are extremely difficult to deal with.

As Ye Liuyun stepped into the poisonous human formation, the poisonous humans in the coffin were immediately alerted. Not only that, the stone wall behind Ye Liuyun also lowered, blocking her retreat. In other words, once she got here, there was no turning back.

With their escape route blocked, emerald green lights lit up on the walls around the space. As the lights came on, the coffins began to tremble, as if something was about to escape from them.

"Oh my god, no way, could there be zombies?" Ye Liuyun said, both scared and excited.

As soon as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, the coffin lids were forcefully pushed open from the inside by something, and figures stood up from the coffins.

These eerie things again. To be honest, Ye Liuyun was still a little scared of them.

Chapter 563: Level Cleared (5000 words + 2100 monthly votes bonus chapter)

In the dark mountain cave, a chilling wind blew, and the eerie green lights on the walls flickered in the breeze. Moreover, the bells hanging from the coffins began to ring.

As the bell rang, strange corpses lay in the coffins, and one after another, figures stood up from the coffins. Their heads were completely covered by some kind of metal hood, so their appearance could not be seen.

However, their skin was purple all over, and their hands had long, black fingernails, which made them look like the legendary zombies to Ye Liuyun.

Upon seeing these things, Ye Liuyun immediately recalled a horror movie he had watched in his previous life, in which there was an evil creature called a zombie.

Legend has it that zombies transcend the Three Realms and Six Paths, and are not bound by the Five Elements; they are truly evil beings.

"Holy crap, Master, what is this thing? Is it a person, a ghost, or a zombie?" Ye Liuyun asked, frowning.

Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun's frightened expression.

"Zombie? I don't recall you ever seeing such an evil creature before. Where did you hear this name from? Was it in your original world?" Lin Qingyou asked with great curiosity.

Because there are zombies in this world, but zombies are just a general term for many evil creatures that have turned into corpses. These things are extremely yin and evil, and are still very rare.

When Ye Liuyun saw Lin Qingyou ask this question, she smiled and then explained to Lin Qingyou in general terms how she knew about zombies. Her general idea was that in their world, there was a kind of creature similar to the monster in front of them, which the people there called a zombie.

After listening to Ye Liuyun's explanation, Lin Qingyou couldn't help but say something.

"Legends don't come from nowhere. This means that your world did indeed have these evil creatures a long time ago."

Ye Liuyun didn't know, after all, he was just a mortal when he was on Earth. She didn't even know if there were cultivators on their Earth, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's confused expression, Lin Qingyou used her understanding of this world to explain the monsters in front of her.

"First of all, the zombies you mentioned do exist in this world, but they are quite different from what you described. Most zombies are evil creatures that are formed after the corpses of living beings have been eroded by yin energy for a long time. They eventually develop their own intelligence and become a kind of evil creature. This is called corpse spirit. We call this kind of evil creature a zombie or a corpse demon, or, to put it more strongly, a corpse demon."

"Besides, 'zombie' is just a general term for this type of evil creature. There are many kinds of zombies, some created by humans and some born naturally. But this thing in front of us can't possibly be a zombie. This thing is at most a corpse puppet. Corpse puppets have no self-awareness."

"And these things in front of us are poison puppets, or medicine men, but they are definitely not the zombies you're talking about. They are far inferior to zombies. They may look like the same thing, but they are not actually the same," Lin Qingyou explained.

However, no matter what Lin Qingyou said, in Ye Liuyun's eyes, all these things were the same.

These poisonous beings slowly crawled out of the coffin, panting with a low, beast-like breath as they approached Ye Liuyun's location.

Moreover, their movements are becoming increasingly agile, which is clearly the Gu worms starting to take effect. Once the Gu worms completely control these poisonous people, their mobility will become the same as that of ordinary people.

"The previous challenges could be overcome through tricks, but this one is much harder and requires real strength. I wonder if this little girl will pass safely or end up becoming one of these poisoners," Granny Jin Hua chuckled.

Granny Jin Hua was conflicted at this moment. She both hoped that Ye Liuyun could pass through and that he would die here.

Since Ye Liuyun died here, it means that the challenge she set up was difficult. Ye Liuyun passed it so easily, which made her lose face.

However, if Ye Liuyun passes, it means that their Ten Thousand Poisons Valley may be about to produce the most monstrous disciple in its history.

The poisoners quickly surrounded Ye Liuyun. With so many poisoners at the Divine Body Realm, Ye Liuyun found it somewhat troublesome, because the physical body she was currently using did not have the powerful physical strength of her own. She could not defeat these poisoners by relying solely on her poison skills.

"Use your Flash Pill; these poisonous people are afraid of strong light," Lin Qingyou reminded her.

Ye Liuyun was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly took out a Flash Pill and released it. After the Flash Pill exploded, it emitted an extremely dazzling and scorching white light, and these poisonous people were all turned into black mist and dissipated under the attack of the Flash Pill.

After the white light disappeared, the poisonous man was gone, which shocked Ye Liuyun.

"What the heck? Master, what's the principle behind this? I know evil spirits are afraid of light, but isn't this a bit too far-fetched?" Ye Liuyun asked in his mind.

Lin Qingyou immediately explained that the creation of this poison puppet required a dark material called the You Tan flower, which could only survive in darkness and would disappear immediately upon exposure to sunlight.

The Poison Puppet was made entirely of the Ephemeral Flower, and was naturally destroyed when exposed to the sunlight from the Flash Pill.

"Impossible, damn it, how could this be? So many powerful poisoners, all suddenly wiped out. This little girl was definitely prepared. She prepared many methods to counter the trial, and each method allowed her to easily pass the level." Granny Jin Hua was now certain that the little girl in front of her had come fully prepared.

“Master, the thing that little girl just threw out should be some kind of consumable magic weapon that can release a strong light, right? I’m very curious. Is this a method of our Gu God Domain? Or is it something she searched for herself specifically for the trial?” Liu Qianmei felt that this matter was a bit strange.

But Granny Jin Hua didn't care about any of that, because her heart was bleeding. She had put a lot of effort into dealing with so many powerful poisoners, and now not a single one of them was left. In addition to the previous Netherworld Vine, her losses were enormous.

"She broke through the fifth level so easily. What kind of methods are these? It seems that every method is one that we don't know about. It's as if she knew in advance what trouble there would be and prepared a way to solve it." Even the most idiotic person could see that Ye Liuyun passed through the fifth level not by strength but by her brain.

The problem is that many of them have seen the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace trial several times, so why hasn't anyone thought about preparing countermeasures to pass the trial?

To be honest, this is what makes people different. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley had never thought of such a method. First of all, Ye Liuyun's methods were not available in the Gu God Domain. Secondly, due to the different cultivation methods, the thoughts and understandings of cultivators in different cultivation areas were also different.

For example, the art of poison and gu is recognized as an evil method in the Nine Heavens Domain, but it is a very normal method in the Gu God Domain. This is a difference in perception.

Because of the cultivation knowledge they received, they never thought about this issue. However, the methods of the Nine Heavens Domain emphasize mutual generation and restraint. Therefore, when cultivators of the Nine Heavens Domain encounter trouble, they will try to find ways to solve it using methods or techniques.

Of course, the Gu God Domain doesn't act entirely out of brute force, but they tend to act recklessly rather than think. Why use three punches when one can kill with one? Over time, they'll lose that awareness.

For example, even though they saw Ye Liuyun easily pass the level using various targeted methods, when it was their turn to pass the level, they might still do the same thing as before.

"Is this woman really going to clear the level? If she clears it so easily, doesn't that make us cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm seem brainless?" The direct disciples of the Four Extremes Secret Realm couldn't help but start complaining.

They didn't want Ye Liuyun to pass the level.

"Master, what if this little girl manages to overcome all the challenges you set up? Will you set up new challenges?" Liu Qianmei couldn't help but ask.

Granny Jin Hua immediately rolled her eyes at Liu Qianmei.

“Every time someone clears the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace trial, I readjust the trial. I don’t actually let people find a way to specifically crack it. Did this little girl see the challenger from last time and then put her mind to cracking the levels I set one by one?” Granny Jin Hua pondered.

The last challenger attempted it a hundred years ago; that challenger reached the ninth level but died there.

Because the opponent failed to pass the level, Granny Jin Hua did not adjust the level immediately. She would only make adjustments after the opponent succeeded.

She felt that this must be the case, otherwise everything would be different. However, she was quite curious about Ye Liuyun's methods.

The next four challenges also greatly disappointed Granny Jin Hua and the others, as none of them could stop Ye Liuyun.

The sixth level is called the Spider Formation, guarded by a spider monster at the late stage of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. It built its nest on the passage to the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace, blocking the passage completely, but Ye Liuyun burned it all to the ground with a single fire.

Because the other side is afraid of fire in this stage.

The seventh level is guarded by a venomous python demon. This python demon is not afraid of fire or water, but after the smoke that blocked divine sense dissipated, the python demon was inexplicably knocked unconscious.

The eighth level is guarded by a peak-level armored centipede. The participants' task is not to kill the armored centipede, but to pass through the passage guarded by it. If you can pass through, you have passed the level.

However, Ye Liuyun simply killed this guy. How did she do it? She threw an enhanced nuclear bomb into his body, and the bomb exploded inside him, shattering him into pieces on the spot.

Those watching from the outside were terrified, but what they couldn't understand was that they hadn't seen Ye Liuyun's own abilities yet; it was all due to external forces.

Two hours later, Ye Liuyun finally reached the final checkpoint and saw the Palace of Ten Thousand Poisons, which was located at the end of the waterway.

Ye Liuyun was standing by a lake, but the water gave people a very uncomfortable feeling; it was green and steaming.

She looked around and soon spotted a skeleton at the edge of the lake. She threw the skeleton into the lake, and the next moment, the skeleton melted as if it had come into contact with sulfuric acid.

"What's the meaning of this level? Does it just mean I have to cross this poisonous lake to reach the end?" Ye Liuyun muttered.

"Do you think it's that easy? You're overthinking it. There's something in this poisonous pool. Be careful, it's about to come out. Although you are immortal, the physical body you're inhabiting isn't. Once the physical body dies, you'll be exposed," Lin Qingyou said.

Sure enough, the calm, poisonous lake suddenly began to churn. Ye Liuyun quickly retreated, not wanting to get her hands on the corrosive water. After retreating to the edge, she saw a monster that looked like a dragon, or perhaps a jiao, emerge from the churning lake.

The monster possessed her, giving her a bright green appearance. She resembled a dragon overall, except she lacked horns and claws.

"Hehe, it's a venomous dragon. Tsk tsk, little girl, this thing is not easy to deal with. It has the cultivation of the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. With your current methods, unless you use a Rank 1 Earth magic weapon, you can't kill it even with a core. This guy also has the bloodline of a true dragon, which is far superior to those venomous beasts before," Lin Qingyou introduced.

Ye Liuyun hurriedly searched his body for pills. Some of the pills were too powerful to be effective, and the terrain was not suitable for him to fight. He also couldn't use earth-rank magic treasures or Illusion God Pills.

"What should we do, Master? Do you have any suggestions?" Ye Liuyun felt that this was a bit troublesome.

"Don't you know whether you can handle a demonic beast at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm? Why are you asking me?" Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes at him.

Ye Liuyun had a toothache. Her eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a way to break the deadlock. Since she couldn't beat him now, she wouldn't fight him. After all, his purpose wasn't to challenge the monsters.

The venomous dragon had already seen Ye Liuyun, but when it discovered that Ye Liuyun was just a minor Dao Palace cultivator, its dragon face immediately turned displeased.

"Hmph! Has the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons fallen into decline? It actually allowed a mere Dao Palace cultivator to intrude upon my territory. This is outrageous!" The hundred-zhang-long poisonous dragon glared at Ye Liuyun and complained.

Those outside who saw the venomous dragon were terrified and turned deathly pale.

"My goodness, no wonder everyone says the ninth level is almost a death trap. I never imagined that there would be a poisonous dragon guarding it. I can hardly imagine how our senior brothers and sisters from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley passed this level in the past." Some disciples who entered the sect within the last hundred years murmured.

The ninth level has never changed because its difficulty is already at its peak. You can only try to avoid fighting the poisonous dragon and reach the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace at the end to pass the level.

"Valley Master, was the ninth level you cleared back then as difficult as this one?" someone asked Liu Qianmei.

However, Liu Qianmei shook her head directly.

“Although the ninth trial I went through back then was also against a monster at the peak of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it was definitely not as strong as this Poisonous Flood Dragon. Master, the Poisonous Flood Dragon’s cultivation is getting stronger and stronger. Last time someone challenged it, it was only at the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm, and now it has reached the peak of the Four Extremes Realm in just a hundred years. Isn’t this challenge a sure way to die?” Liu Qianmei felt that the difficulty of the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace trial was too high.

Grandma Jin Hua didn't speak, but stared intently at Ye Liuyun. She felt that this little girl was hiding a secret, especially since they hadn't figured out how Ye Liuyun had passed the six, seven, and eight tests.

Ye Liuyun always seemed to be intentionally concealing their observations.

However, while they were pondering this, the battle on Ye Liuyun's side had already begun, or rather, it had already ended.

"Oh no? This little girl is still no good," Granny Jinhua exclaimed.

After the venomous dragon emerged, it spat out a mouthful of dragon phlegm, sealing off Ye Liuyun's surroundings. As the phlegm fell, a large amount of corrosive gas spread out, turning the area where Ye Liuyun was located into a smoky zone. The liquid was extremely corrosive, and the place where Ye Liuyun was located was already pitted and unrecognizable.

After the smoke cleared, Ye Liuyun could no longer be seen. To the cultivators outside, it seemed that Ye Liuyun had been turned into thick liquid by the poison of the dragon-blocking insect, leaving nothing behind.

"Sister Youlan." Xiangling, who was outside, saw that Ye Liuyun's voice was not heard after the smoke dissipated, and she even thought that Ye Liuyun was dead.

The disciples burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, finally dead. This brat tried to take shortcuts, but little did she know that in the face of absolute power, no means are of any use."

These disciples showed no grief for their fellow disciple's death; on the contrary, they gloated. Almost everyone except Xiangling, who was pale-faced, laughed at Ye Liuyun for overestimating his abilities.

This is the prevailing atmosphere in the Gu God Domain; in their eyes, there is only themselves, and no one else.

"Alas! What a pity. Despite all the scheming, she still couldn't get past the final hurdle," Granny Jinhua said with great regret.

Liu Qianmei and the others also felt it was over, so they turned around and prepared to leave.

Looking at the venomous dragon's side, after finishing its attack, the venomous dragon saw that Ye Liuyun had disappeared and could not sense any trace of him. It assumed that Ye Liuyun's body had been completely destroyed.

"Hmph! You disturbed my rest, and now you've died so easily? You've gotten off too easy." The venomous dragon sneered, then returned to the poisonous lake, and everything returned to calm.

People outside gradually left; in their eyes, everyone was dead, so what was there to see?

But did Ye Liuyun really fail? Obviously not. Right at the edge of the poisonous dragon's attack, a phantom figure was huddled in a corner.

"Damn it, if he had hit me, I would have been reduced to ashes. Damn it, the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley is too ruthless to its own disciples. They don't even give them a chance to survive." Ye Liuyun looked at the gnawed ground in front of him with a look of horror.

However, the reason she didn't dodge was actually to lull the venomous dragon into a false sense of security. At the moment the venom poured down, she activated the Invisibility Pill, the Concealment Pill, and the Teleportation Pill, and then hid herself, creating the illusion that she had been killed by the venom.

Seeing that its target had been killed, the venomous dragon went back to sleep.
