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

Chapter 621 Forbidden Land (5000 words + 1500 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Looking at Ye Liuyun's side, she was quite unhappy to be surrounded by so many Nascent Soul level experts.

"What? You want to fight? That's a bit bullying," Ye Liuyun said, arms crossed, clearly annoyed.

Anyone here is stronger than her, but she can't possibly lose. After all, she still has many tricks up her sleeve, and any one of them could terrify them.

"Hmph! Scared? It's no use being scared. I'll just send you out." After saying that, the young man clapped his hand at Ye Liuyun from a distance.

This palm strike unleashed a burst of fiery energy, but if it were to hit Ye Liuyun, he certainly wouldn't be able to withstand it given his current cultivation level.

However, she couldn't withstand it. There were plenty of ways to deal with it. Just then, Ye Liuyun's mind stirred, and a blue light flew out from her body. In the next moment, it transformed into a beautiful blue sword and blocked Ye Liuyun's path, deflecting the attack for her.

"Eh? A top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon?" Upon seeing this, the young man quickly retreated a distance.

Ye Liuyun looked at the exquisite blue sword in front of him and chuckled. This was Lan Wei. Originally, it was only a high-grade Earth-rank weapon, but over the years, she had absorbed a lot of materials, which advanced it to a top-grade Earth-rank weapon. It had been a long time since he had used it, so he could take it out and play with it this time. It was better than directly taking a Heaven-rank magic weapon.

"Lan Wei, this guy wants to fight, you play along and have some fun with him," Ye Liuyun said with a sinister smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Wei unleashed a blinding blue light, and then a woman dressed in a light blue dress emerged from the blue light, appearing in front of Ye Liuyun. She then grasped her true form...

"Yes, Master." Lan Wei snorted coldly, then, with a stern expression, she slashed at the young man with her sword.

Although she has no physical body, Lan Wei, once fully revived, possesses the combat power of the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"Impossible! A single sentence can completely revive a top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon? What the hell!" The young man was startled and turned to run away without saying a word.

The others around, seeing the top-grade earth-rank magic weapon fully revived, all changed their expressions drastically and turned to flee without a second thought.

Because they definitely can't win. Even if they also possess top-grade earth-rank magic treasures, they don't have the ability to fully revive them.

Ye Liuyun has this ability because Lin Qingyou forcibly suppressed the artifact spirit and forced it to recognize its master. Once the artifact spirit recognizes its master, it is naturally just a matter of the master's word.

"I don't care about Lan Wei, but that kid from earlier, I need to give him a good beating and then send him out," Ye Liuyun ordered.

Lan Wei nodded, then transformed into a streak of blue light and chased after the young man who had just boasted.

The fleeing youth was startled when he sensed the rapidly approaching presence behind him.

"Damn it, it's not like I'm alone, why are you only chasing me?" The young man produced a talisman in his hand and quickly activated it. The next moment, his speed increased several times, and he created some distance between himself and Lan Wei.

But he still couldn't shake off Lan Wei's pursuit.

The spectators outside were dumbfounded to see Ye Liuyun directly command the spirit of a top-grade earth-rank magic weapon.

"How could this little girl directly awaken the spirit of a top-grade earth-level magic weapon? This shouldn't be possible. In that case, who inside could possibly defeat her? Isn't she essentially protected by a cultivator at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm?" The Holy Lords of the Nine Heavens Holy Land all turned pale.

This was another unexpected event for them, mainly because they rarely heard of low-level cultivators being able to directly awaken the spirit of a high-level magic weapon.

Unfortunately, what they considered impossible was entirely possible for Ye Liuyun.

"Haha, it takes her skill to make the spirit of a top-grade earth-rank magic weapon recognize her as its master. Do you Holy Lords have any objections?" Lin Tianya said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

These words startled the assembled holy masters for a moment, but they immediately broke into smiles.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin makes sense. This also reminds me, the Holy Lord. It seems that after today's competition, I will have to expend some power to make my disciples' magic weapons recognize me as their masters," the Five Elements Holy Lord said with a forced smile.

His words clearly implied that Ye Liuyun's treasures were forced to recognize him as their master by other powerful individuals, which wasn't entirely wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxing is right. If the elders are to forcibly suppress the spirits of magical artifacts and make them recognize their disciples as masters, then the battles that follow will probably become a war of magical artifacts. In that case, is there any point in continuing such a competition? Our holy lands may not have many other things, but we have plenty of treasures." The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers also said sarcastically.

These words caused the Nine Heavens Holy Land to fall into deep thought.

"Alright, let's do this: let's impose some restrictions on magical artifacts starting with the next match," said the Nine Heavens Holy Lord after discussing with the elders.

Upon hearing the Nine Heavens Holy Lord's statement, all the Holy Lords nodded in satisfaction.

If it's a battle of magical artifacts, they can just head home, because you won't see any exciting battles later on; it'll all be about the artifacts battling it out.

Ye Liuyun is truly a rule-breaker; her actions forced the Nine Heavens Holy Land to temporarily modify its rules.

Time passed slowly, and Lan Wei soon returned.

"Master, the brat has been taken care of," Lan Wei said solemnly.

Ye Liuyun smiled with satisfaction, and then put Lan Wei back.

As for the young man who had caused trouble earlier, he now appeared outside the Temple of the Void God with a bruised and swollen face.

"Damn it, this is unfair! Is this still a competition between cultivators?" the young man shouted angrily on the spot.

Ye Liuyun's methods did indeed disrupt the balance of the competition. If it were your own power, like Lin Aoxue's methods, no one could find an excuse. But what can people say about this kind of pure magical weapon power?

"Yeah, that's not fair. This magic weapon couldn't have been subdued by Ye Liuyun. There must have been a powerful figure who subdued it and made it their master. In that case, it's not our own power at all. Are we supposed to fight the spirit of a high-level magic weapon? What if someone brings out a Heaven-rank magic weapon later? What's the point of the competition then? Let's just remove the age limit and let the elders of the major powers participate as well." The crowd outside erupted in commotion.

Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Li Mingjiao was at a loss for what to do. But just then, she received a message from the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens. She quickly picked it up and took a look, only to find that the Holy Land was requesting a change to the rules.

In an attempt to quell the anger of the contestants, Li Mingjiao quickly spoke up.

"Fellow participants, please don't worry. The Holy Land has already sensed this and has decided to restrict the magical artifacts. The rules will take effect from the next qualifying round," Li Mingjiao said.

Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down.

“That’s more like it. Although magical treasures are part of a cultivator’s power, it’s impossible to subdue a magical treasure that is much higher in cultivation level by relying solely on one’s own abilities. I think it’s only reasonable to use a magical treasure that is equivalent to one’s own cultivation level,” a cultivator suggested.

"That's right. I think at most we can only use mid-grade Earth-rank magic weapons right now, anything higher won't work."

With everyone contributing their ideas, they had essentially figured out the rules and restrictions to follow.

Half an hour later, the number of people finally settled. The cultivators who remained inside received another point and were then teleported out by the Void God Palace.

The chaotic qualifying rounds have ended. The highlight of this competition was mainly Lin Aoxue, who single-handedly overwhelmed nearly a thousand people.

So after Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun came out, the atmosphere around them became quite tense, with the cultivators from the holy lands glaring at Lin Aoxue with intense hostility.

Not only Lin Aoxue, but also Ye Liuyun.

The two of them were remembered by almost all the cultivators in the holy lands, and if given the chance, they would definitely be eliminated first.

"Aoxue, it seems we've angered everyone. Look at the way they're looking at us," Ye Liuyun whispered to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue didn't speak, but continued to sit cross-legged on the spot, trying to eliminate the feeling of weakness in her body.

"Alright everyone, the free-for-all qualifying rounds are over. The next match is a speed race, but this time the use of any magic items or external forces is prohibited. You can only rely on your own abilities. The old rules still apply: the first half of the participants to reach the finish line will advance. During the race, you can attack and interfere with each other." Li Mingjiao announced the next event as soon as everyone came out.

There are no special requirements for this competition, so all participants must participate. This competition is somewhat like a speed obstacle course in the world of cultivation.

The main excitement of this battle will be in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, where the Nascent Soul cultivators will definitely be faster than them.

The match was still an hour away from starting, giving the injured cultivators an hour to recover.

"What are you looking at? You're not happy about being eliminated, are you?" Ye Liuyun noticed that the guy who had been eliminated by Lan Wei not long ago was staring at her fiercely, so she retorted angrily.

"You? In the next match, neither of you will advance." The young man said angrily.

In this speed showdown, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue will definitely face more trouble. They were in the chaotic qualifying rounds, especially Lin Aoxue, who angered many people.

Although eliminating those holy land cultivators was not Lin Aoxue's original intention, it was still her method. It's certain that the later competitions will target her.

"I'm very curious, why aren't Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun disciples of your Nine Heavens Holy Land?" The powerful figures in the Holy Lord Palace began to chat again during the break.

The Nine Heavens Holy Lord and his high-ranking members were immediately embarrassed. Theoretically speaking, such an outstanding disciple should have been accepted into their Nine Heavens Holy Land long ago. Unfortunately, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun are not disciples of their Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"This? Haha, our Nine Heavens Holy Land has its own rules. We only recruit disciples after the Jade Pool Immortal Gathering. These two little fellows are only three hundred years old, and they just happened to run into this year's Jade Pool Immortal Gathering." The Nine Heavens Holy Lord laughed awkwardly.

After hearing this, everyone finally understood what had happened.

"I see. I'm very curious. Which sect do Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun belong to? Are they disciples of the major sects in the Nine Heavens Domain?" asked the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Lin Tianya immediately spoke up.

"They are both disciples of our Taishang Ganying Sect. However, Ye Liuyun has established her own sect in the Eastern Wilderness, and she is representing her sect at the Yaochi Immortal Gathering this time."

Upon hearing this, the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness immediately became vigilant. Many of them thought that Ye Liuyun was a force supported by the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but they did not expect that he was supported by the Supreme Response Sect.

"Damn it, when I asked them last time, they said they didn't know. No wonder they said they didn't know. So they were originally people from your Supreme Response Sect. What are you trying to do? Do you want to secretly take over the cultivation world of the Eastern Wilderness?" Kaiyang Divine Lord's expression was very unpleasant.

Unfortunately, he is not qualified to challenge the Taishang Ganying Sect, but he feels he cannot sit idly by and wait for his doom.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Flowing Cloud Sect is a force supported by the Supreme Response Sect. That's right, Fellow Daoist Tianyi, you are already a Nirvana cultivator. With the addition of this Senior Lin Tianya, your sect now has two Nirvana cultivators. I think there will definitely be more in the future." Kaiyang Divine Lord said sarcastically.

These words immediately caused the members of the Supreme Response Sect to frown, as well as the members of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Because what Lord Kaiyang said was a message to the Nine Heavens Holy Land: if you do not curb the development of the Supreme Response Sect, they will eventually become equal to you or affect the status and interests of the Nine Heavens Holy Land in the Nine Heavens Domain.

Lin Tianya and Tianyi Ancestor must have noticed this deliberate attempt to sow discord immediately.

"Haha! Lord Kaiyang, you've misunderstood our Supreme Induction Sect. We only want to develop peacefully in the Southern Ridge, and have never considered your Eastern Wilderness territory. This Ye Liuyun claims to be a cultivator of our Supreme Induction Sect, but in reality, everything she has is due to her own abilities. She is a very talented alchemist and doesn't need our help at all," said Ancestor Tianyi.

This was his way of telling Lord Kaiyang that Ye Liuyun's Liuyun Sect was his own business and had nothing to do with their Taishang Ganying Sect.

"That's funny. On one hand, you say Ye Liuyun is a cultivator of your Supreme Response Sect, and on the other hand, you say that the Liuyun Sect is related to you. This sounds very strange to me. Is it possible that next time, another mysterious sect appears in Xichuan, and when you investigate, it turns out to be a cultivator of your Supreme Response Sect, and you'll say it has nothing to do with you again?" Kaiyang Divine Lord said with a strange laugh.

These words immediately drew the Valley Master of Blazing Sun Valley into the fray, and they also became wary.

If the Supreme Response Sect wants to use this method to gradually encroach on their territory, then they really have no way to deal with it, unless the Nine Heavens Holy Land takes action.

The other holy masters immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the Holy Master's Palace.

The Nine Heavens Saint Lord's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Although they did not want this to happen, they were even more unwilling to see the sects of the Nine Heavens Domain scheming against each other in front of outsiders. Wasn't this giving outsiders an opportunity? You must know that this place was a treasure land in the past, and it is unknown how many secrets from the ancient times were left behind.

If the surrounding holy lands become envious of the secrets hidden within their Nine Heavens Domain, then today's intrigue might inadvertently give them an opportunity to split the Nine Heavens Domain.

"Alright, stop arguing. We have so many guests here today. Whatever your conflict is, let's talk about it after the Jade Pool Immortal Gathering." The Nine Heavens Holy Lord interrupted their conversation.

Once the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens spoke, the Divine Lord Kaiyang had no choice but to shut up.

Just then, Lin Tianya suddenly spoke up and reminded Lord Kaiyang.

“Lord Kaiyang, if I wanted your territory in the Eastern Wilderness, I wouldn’t need these underhanded methods. Do you believe I can make your Kaiyang Divine Firmament Sect disappear from the Nine Heavens Domain at any time?”

These words were filled with murderous intent, instantly making the hairs on Kaiyang Divine Lord's body stand on end.

"Gulp, haha, I was just joking, just joking." Lord Kaiyang gave an awkward laugh and then fell silent.

He then realized something: with Lin Tianya's current cultivation level, invading the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world wouldn't require much effort; a single sentence could be enough to make those sects in the Eastern Wilderness willingly come to his door to become his vassals.

Anyone with common sense knows that the prospects of becoming an ally of the Supreme Response Sect are definitely better than those of their Immortal Alliance.

Then the atmosphere at the Holy Lord's Palace became awkward.

However, the Holy Lord still spoke up to change the subject.

"Haha, by the way, Fellow Daoist Lin, I heard that the Supreme God of the Four Extreme Holy Lands of the Flying Immortal Domain personally came forward to accept you as his disciple. Why did you refuse? This Supreme God of the Four Extreme Holy Lands is one of the few powerful beings in the Divine Path of our Eastern Continent, and his cultivation has already reached the fifth level of the Divine Path." The Holy Lord Xiao of the Tongtian Domain suddenly asked.

This question immediately captured the attention of all the holy leaders.

This is like a god accepting a disciple; if it were them, they would probably have to consider giving up their current positions.

"Yes, Senior Supreme God of Ultimate Intent does have this idea, but my path is not quite the same as his, so he cannot guide me. However, he has invited me to become an honorary elder in their Four Extremes Holy Land, which I am considering," Lin Tianya replied.

Everyone was taken aback.

"Is that so? Then there's really nothing we can do. People with different paths can't work together." Lord Xiao chuckled.

"By the way, have you all heard about what happened in the Chaotic Heaven Sea?" The Five Elements Saint Lord suddenly brought up another topic.

The moment the words "Chaos in the Heavens and Seas" were uttered, the other Holy Lords narrowed their eyes, their expressions freezing instantly.

This Chaotic Heavenly Sea is a forbidden place in the Eastern Continent.

There are three forbidden places on the Eastern Continent: Chaotic Sky Sea, Silent Valley, and Azure Sky Island.

These three places are very ancient, existing since the beginning of time, and legend has it that some ancient forbidden creatures are hidden there.

These creatures would emerge every so often to cause trouble, and this event has been recorded many times in the historical records of various holy sites.

Once these forbidden creatures are born, not only will the God Burial Star, where the Divine Continent is located, suffer, but the entire Milky Way Starfield will also be doomed.

Especially in an era without powerful Tianyuan experts, it was extremely dangerous; once they emerged, probably no one could stop them.

"Speaking of this matter, it is indeed something that all the holy lands of our Eastern Continent need to pay attention to. In the historical records of my Gu God Domain, there is a record of a forbidden creature being born, which almost buried an entire era, with only a few humans surviving," Yue Xun said with a serious expression.

The history of the human race on the Eastern Continent can only be traced back to 500,000 years ago, and then it becomes impossible to trace back further. In the blink of an eye, the Eastern Continent encountered the most terrible calamity in its history during that period, resulting in a break in its historical continuity.

Chapter 622 Speed ​​Showdown (6000 words)

As Yue Xun recounted the legend from 500,000 years ago, everyone present wore solemn expressions, for the birth of this forbidden creature was related to the entire Divine Continent, or rather, to be precise, the entire Tianhe Star Region.

No one can remain unaffected.

Moreover, Yue Xun was only telling a legend, while in fact, the most recent forbidden creature to be born was actually ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, a forbidden creature was born in the Chaotic Heaven Sea. The entire Burial God Star was enveloped by a bloody aura. That aura was extremely oppressive, as if some peerless demon had been born to seal off the Burial God Star. Even powerful gods could not break through this bloody aura's seal.
