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

"Tai Chi? How come this pattern is exactly the same as the one in the ruins of the Tai Chi Holy Land? Could it be?" Ye Liuyun suddenly realized something.

After thinking for a moment, she asked.

"Seniors dressed in clothing with Tai Chi patterns, are you perhaps powerful figures from the Tai Chi Holy Land?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Upon hearing this, the old man in the Tai Chi robe was startled.

"This? Little girl, do you know our Taiji Holy Land? What's the state of our Taiji Holy Land now? Has it been completely destroyed? Are there any disciples left?" the old man asked excitedly.

After confirming their identities, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but show a look of surprise and delight.

"Seniors, it seems this is fate. I never expected that the Sacred Land of Reincarnation would still retain the souls of you seniors. The Taiji Sacred Land is indeed no more. However, seniors, I have seized the Taiji Sacred Land and renamed it the Immortal Realm of Longevity. I have opened the treasure rooms that you seniors hid in your independent spaces and have also learned about the past and present of the Taiji Sacred Land," Ye Liuyun explained.

The souls of the Taiji Holy Land were startled upon hearing this.

"How could this be? The five holy lands would allow your Immortal Realm to be occupied?" The souls of the Taiji Holy Land were very surprised.

But what happened next was even more surprising.

"Haha, this junior has some skills and some resources. By the way, may I ask, seniors, which of you are Earthlings?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

However, the word "Earth" left everyone completely confused.

"Earth? What kind of place is that?"

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then patted her head. She had almost forgotten that Earth was just the modern name; its real name was Azure Star.

"I almost forgot, Earth used to be called Tianlan Star. Seniors, how many of you ascended from the cultivation world of Tianlan Star? I am also a Tianlan Star person." Ye Liuyun asked again.

When the souls of the Taiji Holy Land heard the words "Azure Star," they were greatly surprised.

"You? Little girl, you're also from Tianlan Star? You're not trying to fool us, are you? Our Taiji Holy Land was destroyed, so the passage to guide us must have been destroyed too. It's impossible for any Tianlan Star cultivators to ascend anymore, right?" Many soul entities showed expressions of shock and doubt.

However, Ye Liuyun definitely needs to prove himself.

She described some ancient places on Earth and the regional divisions of the cultivation world. Only after hearing this did they believe that Ye Liuyun was indeed an ascendant from Tianlan Star, because places like Kunlun Mountain were only known to the people of Tianlan Star, and there were also some myths and legends about them.

"Hahaha... Heaven has not forsaken our Taiji Holy Land! I never expected that the ascensioners from Earth in later generations would inherit everything from our Taiji Holy Land. We can finally rest in peace." The souls of the Taiji Holy Land laughed loudly.

They have been imprisoned here for over seven thousand years, and sooner or later they would have completely lost themselves. Unexpectedly, they have found their destined one today.

"Esteemed seniors, I have reopened the ascension channel between Earth and the Immortal Realm of Immortality. If any ascendants from Azure Star come to Earth in the future, they will be disciples of my Immortal Realm of Immortality," Ye Liuyun said.

"Haha, it seems you have extraordinary abilities, young lady. But you should be careful. The few families led by the Reincarnation Holy Land probably didn't get what they wanted from our Holy Land back then. If I'm not mistaken, you've already obtained those things from the Holy Land, haven't you?" the old man asked.

Indeed, Ye Liuyun not only obtained divine weapons in the sacred treasure trove of the Taiji Holy Land, but also some other very precious items.

“That’s right, those things are indeed in my hands.” Ye Liuyun nodded.

After receiving Ye Liuyun's nod, the old man immediately spoke seriously.

"Then you'd better be careful. Those five families will definitely try to deal with you. Wait, why did you come to the Samsara Secret Realm? This place is the territory of the Samsara Holy Land. Aren't you just walking into the lion's den? They will definitely do something underhanded to deal with you."

As he spoke, the old man finally realized what was happening.

"Yes, why would the Sacred Land of Reincarnation invite you into this Secret Realm of Reincarnation? There must be a trap."

Ye Liuyun smiled as he looked at their concerned expressions.

"Don't worry, seniors. I know they have ill intentions, but I have a plan. They invited me here, which is like putting a cat in a mouse's nest," Ye Liuyun said with a sly laugh.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's confidence, the others no longer needed to worry too much.

"Alright, then young lady, you must live well. You should leave now. You can't get through this place on your own," the old man advised.

However, since Ye Liuyun had encountered the predecessors of the Taiji Holy Land, he certainly couldn't just sit idly by and watch them suffer here.

"Senior, if I can rescue you, can you be resurrected?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Unfortunately, all of these souls shook their heads at the same time.

"Don't be fooled by our conscious state; we are all dead souls. Only living souls can be resurrected. Dead souls either become ghosts or enter the cycle of reincarnation. Unfortunately, this Reincarnation Realm has an independent law that isolates reincarnation. Even if we escape, we cannot leave this space," the old man explained.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. After all, he had just sent away a spirit not long ago, which meant that her pills could forcibly open the cycle of reincarnation.

"I'll still give it a try. I'll see if I can destroy this altar and the pillars that comfort you seniors," Ye Liuyun said.

"Oh! Young lady, this formation is a divine-level formation. Unless you are a god-level expert, it is impossible to break it. You should give up and leave quickly. Don't let the Ghost King of this place notice you. The Ghost King of this Ghost Forest is a Nirvana expert from the Reincarnation Holy Land. He is currently asleep. Once he awakens, you won't be able to leave." The old man earnestly advised.

The others, not wanting Ye Liuyun to die here, all tried to dissuade him.

But Ye Liuyun is not afraid of any Ghost King.

"Seniors, I still want to give it a try. Watch closely as I smash this broken altar." Ye Liuyun took out the Nuwa Stone, which then transformed into a giant hammer under his control.

Ye Liuyun swung the hammer, leaped high into the air, enlarged the hammer, and brought it down with a single blow.

The hammer first struck an invisible barrier, which should be the array barrier. Originally, everyone had no hope and thought Ye Liuyun was too reckless. But the next moment, they were all stunned because this so-called array shattered instantly with a single hammer blow. The powerful force also shattered the altar into pieces, and a dark light shot into the sky, illuminating the Samsara Secret Realm.

"What? Look over there! Such a dense energy fluctuation! Could it be that a great treasure has been born?" The power of this shattered divine-level formation alarmed everyone in the Samsara Secret Realm.

The most shocked were the Reincarnation Saint Lords outside.

He had a secret ability to sense everything in the Samsara Realm.

"How could this be? The 108 Ghostly Fiends Formation has been broken? Who did it?" The Reincarnation Saint Lord was dumbfounded, but he couldn't show it. If others knew that he could keep track of the movements inside at any time, he would probably offend the other ten holy lands and the Dao Alliance.

With the formation broken, the stone pillars that bound the souls also shattered, and the souls of these 108 Nirvana cultivators were freed.

"What kind of treasure is this? It can easily shatter a divine-level formation?" The souls of all the powerful figures were stunned.

Ye Liuyun also immediately collected all the treasures in the formation.

These spirits certainly won't stop it; they'd love for these things to be taken away.

However, trouble also arrived. A terrifying ghostly aura shot into the sky from somewhere in the Ghost Forest, accompanied by a majestic and profound voice.

"You audacious brat, how dare you disrupt the divine array of my Sacred Reincarnation Land! I will leave you here forever."

The Ghost King of the Ghost Forest has awakened.

Upon sensing the Ghost King's awakening, the souls of these 108 Nirvana experts immediately surrounded Ye Liuyun.

"Everyone, we are already dead. We cannot let this Sacred Land of Reincarnation harm this child. Let us deal with this old ghost together," the old man said in a deep voice.

They didn't bother asking what treasure Ye Liuyun possessed, because it was pointless; they were already prepared to perish together with him once they left.

"Seniors, you don't need to worry about me. I'm not afraid of any ghost, no matter how strong they are. I want to ask you, do you want to go to the cycle of reincarnation, or do you plan to cultivate the ghost path to survive in this world? My Immortal Realm of Longevity is destined to confront them, and you may have a chance to take revenge," Ye Liuyun asked.

But these spirits shook their heads again.

“Child, although you have freed us, our souls are still bound by the restrictions of this Sacred Ground of Reincarnation, and we cannot leave this space.” The old man gazed in a certain direction and said with a solemn expression.

After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun asked again.

"If I could take you out of here, would you be willing to switch to the path of the ghost?"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, the people of Taiji Holy Land immediately responded.

"If I can live to take revenge, what's wrong with switching to the path of the demon?"

The other experts who were not from the Taiji Holy Land shared the same attitude.

"Haha, very well, I have a way to get you all out of here, but I hope that after you leave, you will join my Immortal Realm of Longevity. I will help you cultivate the Ghost Path," Ye Liuyun said happily.

If we could bring them into the Immortal Realm of Immortality, they would be a formidable fighting force.

"Haha, if you really have such ability, then what does it matter?"

After obtaining their consent, Ye Liuyun immediately raised her hand, revealing a black pill. She then activated the pill, which immediately emitted a dense aura of yin energy.

"Everyone, I have a special treasure here called the Soul Gathering Pearl. This pearl can collect your souls into it. As for whether you can take this pearl out, I can't guarantee that, but it's worth a try," Ye Liuyun said.

This is actually a pill called the Soul-Binding Pill, which is specifically designed to capture souls. However, if a powerful soul resists, it can cause some trouble.

After thinking it over, these souls agreed with Ye Liuyun's idea.

"Alright, we'll give it a try. There's nothing to lose anyway." With that, the group of soul entities transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand.

In no time, the souls of all 108 Nirvana cultivators were taken away.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the pills, then put them away.

However, the Ghost King arrived shortly after. A pale-skinned old man, exuding ghostly energy, appeared above Ye Liuyun's head, riding on dark clouds. This old man was a ghost cultivator, possessing a ghost body, not a soul body.

Don't mistake this Samsara Secret Realm for a place where the dead are buried and imprisoned. In reality, it is also where cultivators of the Samsara Holy Land turn to the Ghost Path after death. Once they become Ghost Cultivators, as long as the Samsara Holy Land agrees to let them out, they can leave this place and become a major force in the Samsara Holy Land's battle.

However, becoming a ghost cultivator is a matter of probability, and not everyone can do it. Nirvana cultivators have about a one in ten chance of becoming ghost cultivators. The ghost king in front of him was a tribulation expert in the Samsara Holy Land in his previous life. After he died, he was buried here and luckily condensed a ghost body and became a ghost cultivator. Becoming a ghost cultivator will reduce one's cultivation by one major realm. However, judging from his appearance, he should have started cultivating from the Transformation Realm back to the Nirvana Realm.

The cultivation method of the Ghost Path is different from the conventional cultivation method of immortality, but the Ghost King corresponds to the Nirvana Secret Realm.

This old ghost is at the early stage of the Ghost King Realm, which is equivalent to the cultivation level between the Five Elements Realm and the Yin-Yang Realm.

"Hmm? Junior, where did you take those soul entities? Also, hand over the treasures here." The Ghost King glanced around, then questioned with a gloomy expression.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

“I have no obligation to tell you,” Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King flew into a rage.

"Then leave your soul behind." As the Ghost King spoke, his eyes gleamed with a ghostly light, and a powerful soul force surged into Ye Liuyun's body in an instant, attempting to pull Ye Liuyun's soul out of his physical body.

However, to the Ghost King's surprise, the moment her soul power approached Ye Liuyun, it was bounced back by an extremely strong force, which almost shattered the Ghost King's ghost body.

He staggered back a few steps.

"This? How is this possible? This space prohibits test takers from using power above the Nirvana Realm level. How could you still activate a Heaven-level soul defense magic weapon?" The Ghost King was incredulous.

Ye Liuyun smiled confidently.

"Then you've got it wrong. I didn't activate the power of the magic weapon. These earrings of mine were made of evil-repelling soul crystals. You should know what that is, right?" Ye Liuyun pointed to her ears.

The Ghost King was greatly surprised when he heard this.

"What? You actually used such precious materials to make a pair of ordinary earrings?" The Ghost King was a little dumbfounded.

That's right, the sparkling earrings on Ye Liuyun's ears were just ordinary ornaments. They weren't made using any crafting techniques; they were purely handmade. As for their effect of defending against soul attacks, it wasn't due to the power of the magic weapon, but rather the inherent power of the material itself. This Evil-Repelling Soul Crystal was a top-grade Heaven-rank material, the very material used to forge top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapons. Such a precious material was simply made into an ordinary ornament; it was a complete waste of its resources.

"Tch, I'm a physical cultivator, magic weapons are useless to me." Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

Seeing that his soul power was useless against Ye Liuyun, the Ghost King immediately changed his tactics.

"Hmph! Soul attacks are useless, then how about this?" The Ghost King raised his hand and condensed a pitch-black palm print, which he then blasted down towards Ye Liuyun.

This attack was more powerful than Du Hua's previous one.

A terrifying force instantly engulfed Ye Liuyun.

However, the Ghost King's expression changed again, because after the black mist dissipated, Ye Liuyun was standing unharmed in the same spot.

"You?" The Ghost King's face stiffened.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot to tell you, this Immortal Robe of Longevity I'm wearing is a special magic treasure. Remember, it's a special magic treasure, not a regular one. This robe is engraved with multiple protective formations and is made of rare celestial silkworm silk and hundreds of top-grade refining materials. Your strength is not enough to penetrate my defenses," Ye Liuyun said sarcastically.

The Ghost King was completely dumbfounded. He took a close look at Ye Liuyun's clothes and found that they did not have any precious light, but he could see many array patterns on them.

"Damn it, what the hell? Who is this brat? This... this...?" The Ghost King was completely speechless.

This is completely unconventional. So many precious materials were used to make it all by ordinary hand. Even the array patterns on the clothes were drawn with materials containing power. I wonder how many precious materials and the hard work of the array masters were used.

Normal cultivation sects would never do this, because it would be too uneconomical. Ye Liuyun's physical abilities alone are probably enough to forge a divine weapon, and its value would definitely be at the level of a divine weapon.

"Damn it, how could the Holy Land let such a monster in? Isn't that just letting her run rampant in there?" The Ghost King began to back away, because he had a bad feeling.

Ye Liuyun saw the old ghost's little tricks.

"Want to leave? Where do you think you're going? Now that you're here, you're not leaving." Ye Liuyun's Nuwa Stone transformed into a five-colored stream of light and hurtled towards the Ghost King at an extremely fast speed.

The Ghost King had initially thought Ye Liuyun had some powerful abilities, but it turned out he had only thrown over a five-colored crystal.

"Tch, junior, I am a ghost cultivator. If you attack me with a magic weapon, it might be effective, but throwing me a powerless stone is useless." The Ghost King did not dodge, but simply raised his hand to catch the stone.

However, the moment his ghostly form came into contact with the Nuwa Stone, his face froze on the spot.

When Ye Liuyun heard the other party take the Nuwa Stone head-on, his mouth moved slightly, clearly indicating that he was saying "idiot".

The moment the Ghost King's ghostly body came into contact with the Nuwa Stone, it began to collapse.

"No, impossible? What is this? It's clearly not a magic weapon, so why can it shatter my ghost body? No..." The Ghost King's ghost body was pierced on the spot and began to collapse. She let out a desperate roar.

Once a ghost cultivator dies, they completely disappear and there is no reincarnation for them.

"Bang!" The Ghost King inspected the area, then transformed into a sky full of Yin energy and dissipated into the space.
