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

"So many geniuses from outer holy lands have come to this year's Jade Pool Immortal Gathering. I feel like we cheaters won't gain any advantage at all," complained the few Nascent Soul cultivators who had sneaked in using disguise pills.

If so many geniuses from holy lands hadn't come, they felt they might still have a chance, but now, they felt their chances were zero.

"Let's wait for the sect leader to arrive and see if she has any ideas to increase our chances of victory," Jiang Wanling said.

"Elder, you certainly aren't worried. You're at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm, I think you can climb to a pretty good position," the group said with envy.

Jiang Wanling smiled noncommittally. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed her communication device trembling. There was no need to look; it must be Ye Liuyun who had arrived.

Jiang Wanling hurriedly went out to activate the protective array around the pavilion and brought Ye Liuyun in.

As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived, they immediately had a pillar of support.

"Sect Master, you must already know about the commotion outside. This time, the Jade Pool Immortal Gathering is probably not as simple as we thought. I don't think the few of us might be able to sneak into the Nine Heavens Secret Realm and get the treasures." The group said with long faces.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"Can't you have some ambition? What are you afraid of? Just do your best. Besides, I prepared so many treasures for you before you came. Even if you can't defeat those top geniuses, with these powerful treasures, dealing with some second or third level Nascent Soul cultivators shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Ye Liuyun scolded.

Indeed, Ye Liuyun fully equipped the six of them with defensive magic weapons, offensive magic weapons, consumable magic weapons, and pills—and not just one or two items.

Especially Jiang Wanling, who possesses a full set of top-grade Xuan-level magic treasures, Ye Liuyun was certain that these treasures would definitely be useful.

A sacred-level immortal cultivation tournament should not prohibit the use of magical artifacts.

The reason these guys lack confidence is that they weren't particularly talented to begin with, and they might never have been able to break through to the Transformation Realm in their entire lives. It was Ye Liuyun who forcibly pulled them into this field.

Looking over at the forbidden area of ​​the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Nine Heavens Holy Lord and twelve elders were standing outside the cultivation room where the Heavenly Human expert was in seclusion.

“Ancestor, this matter is somewhat beyond our expectations. I have a feeling that they are after the treasures of our Nine Heavens Holy Land. You should know that many of the true treasures of our Nine Heavens Holy Land are still in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm. Why don’t we make a three-point agreement with them: they can participate, but they cannot enter the Nine Heavens Secret Realm?” Ancestor Ziwei suggested.

The others nodded in agreement. They weren't that generous; if their valuable possessions were taken by cultivators from other holy lands, it would be a complete waste of their efforts.

However, the celestial being shook his head.

"Either we don't let them participate, or we let everyone compete fairly. I don't even know how many good things are in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm. If those who are destined to find out, then consider it a demonstration of the generosity of my Nine Heavens Holy Land," said the Celestial Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Indeed, it would be too embarrassing to refuse the rewards in front of so many powerful figures from the Holy Lands, since their purpose was to show the other Holy Lands the strength of their Nine Heavens Holy Land.

“That’s true, Ancestor. Lin Aoxue from the Supreme Response Sect has arrived. Let’s observe her secretly. Her talent is so extraordinary that it can only be described as heaven-defying. If she can stay in our Nine Heavens Holy Land after the Immortal Gathering, then our Nine Heavens Holy Land may produce a celestial god in the future,” said the Ancestor of Shangqing Palace.

However, this is currently just wishful thinking on the part of the four palaces of Shangqing, because each of the twelve palaces has its own ulterior motives regarding the next generation of successors of this holy land.

“Junior Brother Shangqing, Lin Aoxue is the granddaughter-in-law of the Emperor, and Mu Yun’s talent is no less than hers. I think we shouldn’t speak too soon,” said Ancestor Ziwei.

On their side, Li Muyun is definitely the first choice.

As for the ancestors of the four Qingxu Palaces, they remained silent and watched as the Shangqing Ancestor and the Ziwei Ancestor argued.

The two sides are still unable to reach a consensus.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Why do we have to decide who comes first? Let's deal with these holy lands first. After all, whether this matter will ultimately turn out as you wish is still unknown." The Celestial Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Holy Land didn't want to see everyone wasting their breath here.

The Celestial Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Holy Land hopes to select the most suitable and talented person to be the future successor of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. He does not care whether it is Lin Aoxue, Li Muyun, or anyone else.

The Celestial Ancestor interrupted, so they had no way to continue arguing. In the end, they returned to the Holy Lord Palace together to deal with these Holy Lords of the Holy Land.

Since everyone has already arrived, it's impossible to drive them away, but for the sake of fairness, the Nine Heavens Holy Lord still spoke up.

"Fellow Daoists, we have reached a conclusion. Your disciples may participate in this Immortal Gathering, but not all of them can participate. After all, each of the four sects, including the Wind and Snow Holy Land, has only sent ten people. Furthermore, this Yaochi Immortal Gathering is a grand event within our Nine Heavens Domain, mainly for selecting outstanding disciples for our Holy Land. Therefore, each of you can only send ten people to participate," said the Nine Heavens Holy Lord.

His words were reasonable and well-founded, and the holy lands that had brought dozens of young disciples couldn't help but frown. However, they had no reason to refute him, so after some thought, they agreed with the Nine Heavens Holy Lord's opinion.

"Alright, then let's do as you say, Fellow Daoist Jiutian. Please give us some time to select ten contestants. The rest can stay in the Holy Land to watch the competition, right?" asked the Five Elements Holy Lord.

There was definitely no problem with that, and the Nine Heavens Holy Lord couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

He then patiently waited for the Holy Land, with its large population, to select suitable disciples to participate in the Jade Pool Immortal Gathering. Li Muyun had also returned to the Holy Lord Palace.

She glanced at the holy masters and disciples of the ten holy lands.

"Holy Lord, your disciple has returned," Li Muyun said to the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens.

The Nine Heavens Holy Lord nodded, and then introduced the ten newly arrived Holy Lords and their disciples.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the current goddess of our Nine Heavens Holy Land, the successor of the Nine Heavens Emperor's bloodline, Li Muyun. Muyun greets the Holy Lord."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to Li Muyun. Many of the Holy Lords were quite surprised when they saw Li Muyun.

"Such rich Heavenly Abyss bloodline power! This Nine Heavens Holy Land actually possesses an Empress." The Holy Lords couldn't help but be astonished.

The so-called "Emperor's Daughter" is the one whose bloodline is closest to the Heavenly Emperor among a generation. Of course, the strength of this bloodline varies, and only those who reach more than 90% can be called Emperor's Daughter or Emperor's Son.

In other words, the appearance of the Nine Heavens Emperor should be similar to that of Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Greetings, esteemed Holy Lords." Li Muyun bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, the younger generation is indeed formidable," the holy lords chuckled.

The disciples of these holy lands also looked at Li Muyun with great solemnity. They could not underestimate an imperial princess like Li Muyun.

After exchanging greetings, the holy leaders began selecting participants, and after about half an hour, they finally chose the contestants.

After the candidates were selected, the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens wasted no time and immediately granted them the qualifications to participate in the competition. Then, he had Li Muyun take them to the Jade Pool Wonderland to arrange their accommodations.

After talking with Jiang Wanling and the others, Ye Liuyun went to the place where the participants of the Taishang Ganying Sect lived. They all lived in the same area. Ye Liuyun wanted to see Yan Yu and Chen Yao. Although they were much older than Ye Liuyun, they were not yet five hundred years old, so they were naturally able to participate in this competition.

When Ye Liuyun arrived at the disciples of the Supreme Response Sect, he must have seen many familiar faces, including Xuan Tian.

"Elder Ye, you've arrived! I heard you're not representing our Supreme Response Sect this time, but your own creation. In that case, we might become your opponents. You'd better go easy on us!" Some disciples who were on good terms with Ye Liuyun joked.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

"Why are you saying such discouraging things? Have some courage! This Yaochi Immortal Gathering represents not only your sect but also yourselves. If you achieve good results, you might be able to join the Holy Land and become its disciples. By the way, did you see my eldest and second eldest sisters?" Ye Liuyun asked.

They must know about the relationship between Chen Yao, Yan Yu, and Ye Liuyun.

"Third Sister, I'm here." Just then, Yan Yu and Chen Yao came out from a pavilion.

Upon seeing them, Ye Liuyun immediately walked over with a smile.

"Oh dear, you two sisters, you'd better work hard this time. I'm representing my own forces, and I might just run into you two," Ye Liuyun teased.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it? I think we shouldn't think the worst yet. After all, we don't know what events will be included yet. Let's wait and see," Yan Yu said with a smile.

The two of them were already cultivators at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm, which was quite impressive. However, they owed almost all of this to Ye Liuyun. Without Ye Liuyun, they wouldn't be where they are today.

If they were to encounter Ye Liuyun in a competition, even if they conceded defeat, they would never be able to compete with Ye Liuyun.

After the three of them found a quiet place to chat for a while, Ye Liuyun gave them some pills before leaving.

However, when Ye Liuyun left the Supreme Induction Sect's headquarters, he happened to run into an acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time. Who was it? It was Su Wangchen. In the past hundred years, Su Wangchen had made great progress and was already at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.

"Oh, Little Su, where have you been all these years? I heard you left the Supreme Response Sect and went out to cultivate on your own." Ye Liuyun asked with some surprise after seeing Su Wangchen.

Su Wangchen didn't expect to run into Ye Liuyun here, but when Ye Liuyun opened his mouth, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Don't call me Little Su. Ye Liuyun, although you are my benefactor, if I run into you in the competition, I won't hold back." Su Wangchen said with a strong fighting spirit.

Ye Liuyun shrugged indifferently.

"Oh, whatever, let's see if you run into me first. Don't worry, if I do run into you, I won't hold back. I'll kick your ass like I did back then, and I'll make sure your ass is bruised and battered." Ye Liuyun said, hands on his hips, laughing heartily.

Su Wangchen immediately blushed.

"You have such a twisted sense of humor. I can't be bothered with you. Who knows who'll end up getting their ass kicked? I secretly swore back then that if I ever got the chance, I'd make you experience what it's like to be my girlfriend," Su Wangchen said unhappily.

"Hey? You little brat, you still hold a grudge? I saved your life, shouldn't you be grateful to me?" Ye Liuyun walked up to Su Wangchen, put his arm around Su Wangchen's shoulder like an older brother, and said with a smile.

Su Wangchen naturally knew that Ye Liuyun, like her, had been a man before. After learning this, she always felt that Ye Liuyun had a perverse sense of humor in turning her into a woman.

"Kindness is kindness, hatred is hatred, let's keep things separate," Su Wangchen said arrogantly, arms crossed.

But Ye Liuyun didn't seem to be listening to her at all.

"Oh my, I never expected that the young man from back then would have grown into such a graceful and beautiful woman. To be honest, if I were still a man, I would definitely be captivated by your purple hair and eyes. You're practically a violet!" Ye Liuyun said, squinting as she examined Su Wangchen's alluring and delicate body.

Upon hearing this, Su Wangchen got goosebumps all over his body.

"You, you're disgusting! Goodbye." Upon hearing this, Su Wangchen immediately moved away from Ye Liuyun, then vanished in a flash, having run away.

She doesn't have Ye Liuyun's thick skin.

"Tch! Little brat, oh! What an adorable little girl." Ye Liuyun sighed, then walked away with a smile.

She looked around the various parts of Yaochi Wonderland, but before she had taken more than a few steps, someone came up to chat with her.

However, Ye Liuyun would definitely not pay any attention to them.

As Ye Liuyun walked, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be happening ahead. There were many people observing, and there were also fluctuations in power.

"Hey? There's going to be some fun." Ye Liuyun quickly ran over, and as soon as he arrived, he saw that cultivators from other regions had set up a fighting arena.

Although fighting is prohibited in the Jade Pool Wonderland, it is private duels that are prohibited, not normal arena challenges. There are many arenas of various sizes in this area of ​​the Jade Pool Wonderland, which are specifically provided for these people.

There are also cultivators from the Nine Heavens Holy Land guarding this place.

"Too weak, too weak. Can someone from the Nine Heavens Domain send someone stronger? I've already won three games in a row."

On the arena, a burly young man dressed in a white tiger-striped shirt was drinking and taunting others on the platform, which was several tens of meters in diameter.

This man was very strong, but he didn't appear wild; he just exuded a powerful aura.

"So strong! Is this the strongest contestant from the Myriad Spirits Holy Land? He only has the cultivation of the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but even the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm is no match for him." The spectators below the stage were all powerless in the face of the opponent's provocation.

Not long ago, a Nascent Soul Level 4 expert from the Nine Heavens Holy Land challenged this guy, but was defeated by him in just a few punches and kicks, losing all face.

Ye Liuyun arrived a little late and missed the good show that had just happened.

"Who is this guy? He's so arrogant." Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Upon hearing the question, someone instinctively answered.

"He is a cultivator from the Myriad Spirits Domain named Bai Chengfeng. I heard he is a cultivator who cultivates both physical body and spiritual body, and his physical body has reached the first level of the Primordial Spirit Realm."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun became interested. This was the first time she had ever encountered someone who could cultivate their physical strength to the level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Hey! Is there no one here? Doesn't anyone in your Nine Heavens Domain have anyone who can kick me off this arena?" Bai Chengfeng asked, sipping his spirit wine as he paced back and forth on the arena, looking for an opponent.

However, with his combat strength, unless a top genius comes to challenge him, ordinary contestants like them have no chance at all.

Seeing that no one was willing to fight, Ye Liuyun felt a little itchy and responded.

"I'll play with you."

The crisp sound startled Bai Chengfeng on the stage. She couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, and there she saw a delicate woman in white lightly leaping onto the stage.

When Ye Liuyun stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted in an uproar.

"This? No way, that's strange. What's going on with this fairy? Her cultivation level is so low, yet she's a contestant?"

Some people were confused by the aura emanating from Ye Liuyun.

However, Bai Chengfeng showed a rather surprised expression. He was originally drunk, but after seeing Ye Liuyun, he suddenly became energetic.

"You, you are a pure body cultivator?" Bai Chengfeng asked incredulously.

Upon hearing Bai Chengfeng's words, everyone immediately understood.

"Body cultivator? I didn't expect this fairy to be a pure body cultivator. No wonder her aura is so weak. This is going to be interesting. I wonder what level this fairy has cultivated her body refining technique to." Everyone stared at Ye Liuyun with curious eyes.

"Yes, it's unbelievable that such a beautiful woman is a body-refining cultivator."

Ye Liuyun nodded to Bai Chengfeng.

"Fellow Daoist from the Myriad Spirits Domain, I've heard that your physical strength is very strong. I'm passing by and would like to have a friendly spar with you, just in terms of physical strength, how about it?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Without saying a word, Bai Chengfeng hung the wine jug on his waist and then agreed to Ye Liuyun's challenge.

“Alright, let’s compare physical strength. What I, Bai Chengfeng, have always longed for most in my life is the limit of physical strength. Unfortunately, after pursuing it for more than four hundred years, I am still only a half-baked body cultivator.” Bai Chengfeng said with great anticipation.

The disciples guarding the arena immediately activated the formation upon seeing that the two had agreed to spar.

These arena matches don't have many rules; you just need to clarify the requirements before the match.

As the formation was activated, Bai Chengfeng suddenly made his move, and his speed was so fast that few people below the stage could even catch a glimpse of his attack trajectory.

"So fast." This was the first reaction of most cultivators.

But to their surprise, just when they thought Ye Liuyun was about to be sent flying by the punch, Bai Chengfeng was thrown back as if he had hit a wall. He almost flew off the stage, but fortunately he reacted quickly and landed heavily on the stage, stabilizing himself.

The two clashed for the first time in the blink of an eye; many people missed the entire exchange in the blink of an eye.

"How could this be? What just happened? Bai Chengfeng was repelled?" Many people only saw Bai Chengfeng attack and then fly away, and didn't see clearly what happened in between.
