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

This young man was over 1.9 meters tall, while the two of them were only around 1.6 meters tall. This height is not short for women, but facing this guy, they felt uncomfortable being looked down upon.

Ye Liuyun stared intently at the other person, ready at any moment for Lin Qingyou to take control of her body.

"Hahaha, I never expected that the future hope of my Heavenly Sect would be here? Since that's the case, then I can rest assured. Little girl, take this; it will help you grow up quickly." Lin Junxian stared at Ye Liuyun and the other girl for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter and said something strange.

After saying this, he stretched out a hand, and a very complex energy crystal condensed in his palm. He handed this object to Lin Aoxue.

That's right, it was handed to Lin Aoxue, which means that he was actually looking at Lin Aoxue the whole time, not Ye Liuyun.

Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were both puzzled, but faced with such a powerful being, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to accept the item.

After receiving the items, Qiang Linjunxian smiled and said something.

"Little girl, live well. Only by living can there be hope. The road ahead is dangerous. Don't go unless necessary. People need to know their own limitations to climb to the top step by step in this unfair world."

The tone of his voice felt like an elder giving advice to a younger person.

After saying this, Lin Junxian turned around with a smile and happily left in the direction of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Chapter 115 Gathering of the Strong

Only after the person had completely disappeared from their sight did Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew... That scared me to death! Who is this guy? He's so awesome, he exudes a boss aura just by appearing, like I've encountered a big BOSS in a game." Ye Liuyun let out a heavy sigh of relief; that feeling just now was incredibly uncomfortable.

What exactly did it feel like? It was like the air had solidified, making it difficult to breathe, and there was a sense of fear that I could die at any moment.

Although she won't die, that doesn't mean she can ignore the fear of death.

"This is a powerful cultivator at the Transformation Realm, with a cultivation level around the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. What he gave your woman is a crystallized inheritance. It seems that your woman has a great connection with him. This is a complete inheritance of a Nascent Soul Realm expert, which is already an extraordinary thing in this small place." Lin Qingyou's voice rang in Ye Liuyun's mind.

"A cultivator at the Transformation Realm? Is that impressive?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.

Lin Qingyou smiled noncommittally. In her eyes, cultivators of this level were just grasshoppers, but for Ye Liuyun and the others, they were insurmountable mountains.

As for Lin Aoxue, she was looking at the inheritance crystal in her hand with a confused expression. She didn't know why the other party had given her such a thing.

Strangely enough, she felt a sense of care from this young man, like that of an elder. And if he wasn't an elder, why would he say these things to her?

But Lin Aoxue didn't remember that there was such a powerful expert in their Lin family history, or rather, there was no cultivator in the Lin family's traceable family history.

"Aoxue, stop daydreaming! This is a treasure! Quickly put it away. It's the legacy of a powerful cultivator at the Transformation Realm!" Ye Liuyun said with great envy.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback by these words, and then asked a question in return.

"The inheritance of the Mystic Realm of Transformation? How do you know that?"

This sentence left Ye Liuyun speechless once again.

"Ahem, don't worry about why, just put it away for now. After we leave this place, we'll find a place to absorb what's inside," Ye Liuyun quickly said.

After adjusting their condition, the two continued forward. However, at this moment, another powerful figure arrived around the Demon Emperor's Tomb. This time, it was a powerful figure from the Cloud Sect.

Yunzong has a cultivator at the Transformation Realm, but he is only at the first level of the Transformation Realm. This is a restriction imposed by the Supreme Response Sect. Subordinate mid-level sects can only retain one cultivator at the Transformation Realm.

The Heavenly Sect was wiped out by the Supreme Response Sect because it concealed several cultivators at the Transformation Realm.

The Yun Sect is a newly established intermediate sect, so there are no other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators within it. However, many of the living dead from the Four Extremes Secret Realm who came this time were also awakened by Ye Liuyun's pills.

“Ancestor, there is a very terrifying demonic aura ahead. I do not recommend that the living approach. The sect’s combat strength cannot withstand any more depletion. Why don’t we, the dead, go and scout ahead?” The living dead of the Cloud Sect said in a deep voice to their elder who had reached the Transformation Realm.

These people were all the old man's disciples and grand-disciples who died in battle.

The old man understood this principle, so this time he did not send too many sect cultivators over.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you. You should be resting peacefully, but I didn't expect to trouble you to fight for another opportunity for the sect," said the Cloud Sect Ancestor with some sadness.

However, these people didn't say much. Cultivators' lives are unpredictable, and no one can be blamed.

After saying that, these cultivators flew towards the area covered by the power of the Demon Emperor's Tomb. However, like the others, they were suppressed by the Demon Emperor's Tomb's tyrannical power as soon as they got close, and could only move forward on the ground.

After they left, the Cloud Sect Ancestor scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and then gave an order.

"Subordinate sects of the Cloud Sect, heed my command! I am Li Qianqiu, the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Sect. I order you all to join the Cloud Sect cultivators in sealing off all directions and not allowing any cultivators outside the Cloud Sect's influence to approach," the Cloud Sect Ancestor said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun and the others had no choice but to lead their own disciples to occupy their respective sides of the Black Wind Mountain Range.

However, this blockade was only temporary, because not long after, the other three affiliated intermediate sects under the Supreme Response Sect also arrived.

"Hehe, it's probably unlikely that the Cloud Sect can monopolize this opportunity. Even if the three of us don't care, the Upper Sect certainly wouldn't agree." A delicate woman's laughter echoed through the world.

After the sound faded, a group of beautiful female cultivators dressed in colorful dresses flew in from the south. Led by a silver-haired woman in a red dress, they arrived at the south side of Black Wind Mountain. This group of people were cultivators from the Flower Sect.

Immediately following, another group of blue-robed cultivators flew in from the east, riding on swords; they were cultivators from the Sword Sect.

From the west flew in cultivators dressed in Taoist robes; they were cultivators from the Taoist sect.

From then on, all four intermediate sects affiliated with the Supreme Response Sect arrived, and they also had a large number of living dead. Today's conflict was less a struggle between these sects and more a confrontation between the dead.

"Hmph! All three of you have arrived. However, it seems a bit against the rules to trespass into the territory of my Yun Sect without authorization," Li Qianqiu said with displeasure.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you can’t say that. We are both affiliated sects of the Supreme Response Sect. At this time, we should stand together. After all, other medium and large sects will definitely arrive here later. Can your Yun Sect alone hold them off?” the Dao Sect’s patriarch asked calmly.

Li Qianqiu did not refute, because even their Yun Sect could not possibly monopolize the Demon Emperor's Tomb, even though they did not yet know that it was the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"In that case, I'll trouble the three of you to help reinforce the defenses," Li Qianqiu said calmly.

The three patriarchs smiled slightly and gestured to the undead. Upon seeing their patriarchs' signals, the undead immediately flew towards the Black Wind Mountains. This is the typical choice for any smart sect; it would be a waste not to make good use of the undead.

After all, everyone knows they can't live forever. Since they'll all return to the Netherworld sooner or later, they might as well do their best to bring some benefits to the sect before they go back, so that their return to the mortal realm won't be in vain.

Around this time, several thousand undead entered Black Wind Mountain, and the mountain gradually became lively.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, who were getting closer to the Demon Emperor's Tomb, already knew that trouble was coming. They didn't have time to waste on these ordinary treasures anymore.

We need to get to the Demon Emperor's Tomb first, otherwise, when that group of cultivators from mid-level sects arrive, they might try to steal the treasures from them.

"Aoxue, stop looking. Let's go directly to the area where the golden light is. The highest treasures here are only at the Xuan level. There are definitely better ones over there," Ye Liuyun suggested.

Lin Aoxue glanced behind her and knew that someone must be coming. In order to prevent their treasures from being stolen, they should indeed speed up their approach to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

As for Lin Junxian, he had already arrived at the area filled with golden light. Before him was a huge crack in the ground, and within the crack, he could see an ancient palace.

"These are ancient demon patterns. Could this be the tomb of some ancient great demon or demon emperor?" Lin Junxian used his divine sense to observe the patterns on the palace.

These patterns don't seem to be products of this era, nor do they seem to be products of the previous era; they seem more like symbols from ancient times.

Of course, Lin Junxian wasn't entirely sure either.

Lin Junxian originally wanted to enter this place to seize the fortune for future generations, after all, he knew that he would not live for long and would eventually return to dust.

However, he unexpectedly encountered Lin Aoxue on the road, which changed his mind. Since he didn't need to worry about the issue of inheritance...

Why not make the most of your remaining energy?

Lin Junxian sat down next to the Demon Emperor's Tomb, seemingly waiting for something.

As for the undead from the four lower-level sects, they did not come here, but instead tried to collect spiritual artifacts and mystical artifacts in the surrounding area.

As Lin Junxian said, it's best for cultivators to have some self-awareness. The things in the Demon Emperor's Tomb are not something that the four lower-level sects can touch. Even if they obtained them, so what?

It's possible that even the four major mid-level sects wouldn't be qualified to enter.

Meanwhile, battles have already begun in the surrounding area and in the Black Wind Mountain region.

These living dead who enter this place don't care about other sects at all. They won't live long, so collecting treasures is the top priority.

These living dead are basically immortal. Even if their heads are cut off, they can grow back quickly. So all they need to do is grab the treasure and leave immediately, without getting entangled with each other.

Because this entanglement is endless.

As for the battles in the outer defensive zone, they are a bit more serious, with clashes already breaking out between cultivators from the four sects and outsiders.

"You four lower-level sects and four mid-level sects, don't be so domineering. This opportunity belongs to the entire Southern Ridge cultivation world. Why can't we go?" More and more rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects gathered.

The four lower-level sects might still be a little afraid because there were too many people coming, but the cultivators from the four mid-level sects were not so polite. Their Dao Palace cultivators and Four Extremes cultivators would slap a large number of cultivators to death as soon as they arrived.

That's completely unreasonable.

"You're not convinced? Who told you you weren't capable enough? If you could sit in our positions, you could do the same."

A cultivator from the Sword Sect, at the fourth level of cultivation, struck down with his sword, instantly killing at least several thousand cultivators, causing rivers of blood to flow.

The Yunxia Sect, along with the Sword Sect and their subordinate sects, guarded the east. The Yunxia Sect cultivators turned pale upon seeing the ruthlessness of the Sword Sect cultivators.

This was nothing short of a one-sided massacre, and they had a question in their minds: wasn't there a rule that high-level cultivators couldn't attack low-level cultivators? Why weren't the cultivators from this mid-level sect following that rule?

In reality, this rule is only somewhat useful under normal circumstances. In such situations, rules are meaningless, and only ruthless measures can suppress the restlessness of other forces.

Chapter 116 Soul Buster

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue walked for a while longer. The closer they got to the Demon Emperor's Tomb, the greater the sense of oppression became, making it a real test of their abilities.

Fortunately, the Demon Emperor's Tomb did not release excessively destructive power; otherwise, even if it were to emerge, they would only be able to observe it.

In any case, the being in the Demon Emperor's Tomb must have had a purpose in causing this.

When they were less than a kilometer away from their destination, they finally encountered a living dead from another sect, specifically a living dead from the Yanxia Sect.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to casually pick up a low-grade Xuan-rank treasure he had seen on the road, a golden light shot out from his right side as soon as he got the item in his hand, seemingly trying to interrupt him from taking the item.

"Ok?"

Fortunately, Lin Aoxue reacted quickly enough, appearing on Ye Liuyun's right side in an instant and slashing down with her sword, cutting the golden light in two.

"Who is it? It's not good to launch a sneak attack." Lin Aoxue sneered.

"Disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect? Interesting. They actually managed to withstand my attack? Two juniors at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm dare to venture so deep into this place. Did you sneak in? You've got some nerve." A living dead man from the Cloud Mist Sect at the first level of the Dao Palace realm walked out from the right side of the two.

This person is very strange. He looks like a human, but in reality, he is surrounded by a ghostly aura. It's more like he's a ghost. Ye Liuyun guessed that this person should be the resurrected one that she created by refining medicine.

This person feels similar to the group from the Yunxia Sect not long ago.

"What do you mean? Why are you attacking us?" Lin Aoxue questioned.

Upon hearing this, the living dead man from the Yanxia Sect couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking that Lin Aoxue had asked a joke.

"Haha, you're really fearless! What are you doing here? What else could we be here for but to find treasure? I don't want to fight with you two juniors. Get out of the way, I want that treasure." The living dead man from the Yanxia Sect laughed mockingly.

Clearly, he didn't take Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun seriously at all. After all, under normal circumstances, the difference between the Sea of ​​Wheels realm and the Dao Palace realm is like heaven and earth, and there is no comparison.

When Lin Aoxue heard that they were there to steal her things, she was furious.

"Then what are you talking nonsense for? If you're going to steal, just say so. Liu Yun, wait a moment, I'll take care of him." After saying that, Lin Aoxue drew her sword and charged towards the living dead man from the Yanxia Sect.

Lin Aoxue was far more decisive than Ye Liuyun. Once she judged someone to be an enemy, she would strike without mercy, because enemies don't listen to reason.

In the Six Yang Mountains, Lin Aoxue had once been tricked. A rogue cultivator ambushed her, and when she couldn't beat him, she knelt down and begged for mercy. But as soon as Lin Aoxue turned to leave, he immediately launched another attack. So Lin Aoxue was very decisive in this regard.

Ye Liuyun was about to say something, but the hot-tempered Lin Aoxue had already made her move, and with one strike, she repelled the living dead from the Yanxia Sect.

Lin Aoxue unleashed a cyan sword light, striking the living dead. The living dead initially didn't take it seriously, after all, it was just a strike from a mere mid-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator.

But when the sword light was less than three zhang away from him, the expression of this living dead man from the Yanxia Sect suddenly changed.

"This? Such powerful strength." After saying this, the man quickly raised his hand to block, and the blue light hit his magical defense, knocking him back three or four steps.

This scene left Ye Liuyun speechless. A mere sword strike from a Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator repelled a Dao Palace Realm cultivator. Even a half-step Dao Palace Realm cultivator couldn't accomplish this. Ye Liuyun found it hard to believe that Lin Aoxue's combat power had reached this level.

"Wow, that's amazing! Master, what's going on with Aoxue? How is she so strong?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

“Nonsense, your woman has condensed nine spirit patterns, not just one ordinary one. Each spirit pattern doubles the strength of the spirit power. She condensed nine, which is nine times the power of a mid-stage spirit pattern realm cultivator. This is not an ordinary spirit pattern realm cultivator,” Lin Qingyou explained.

Ye Liuyun heard some cultivation knowledge he didn't know, so he asked about it in detail. As for Lin Aoxue, there was no need to worry; she was already suppressing her opponent.

Moreover, the fight was fierce, forcing the cultivators of the Yanxia Sect to parry.

"Hmph! The moment I saw you, I knew you weren't human. Evil spirits, begone!" Lin Aoxue said fiercely.

"Bang, bang..." The two weapons clashed rapidly, and their figures flashed quickly. Lin Aoxue's sword strikes were fast, accurate and ruthless.

After exchanging a few blows with Lin Aoxue, this living dead man at the first level of the Yanxia Sect's Dao Palace immediately realized he had come to the wrong person.

He wanted to retreat, but the moment he had the thought of retreating, his fighting strength plummeted, and he was accidentally stabbed through the heart by Lin Aoxue.

But he felt nothing at all, and just looked at Lin Aoxue with a cold smile.

"Hahaha, you know I'm not human, do you think you can kill me with ordinary means? Let me tell you, as long as this celestial phenomenon exists, I am immortal." The man slashed Lin Aoxue's neck with his sword.

Lin Aoxue immediately drew her sword, retreated, and dodged the attack. As for the wounds on the Yanxia Sect cultivator's body, they healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This? Can't be killed?" Lin Aoxue frowned.

In fact, Ye Liuyun just wanted to tell Lin Aoxue that this guy is not a living person, and ordinary methods cannot kill him. Don't waste time with him, or you will get entangled.
