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

Long Lingyun didn't think much of it and directly refused to answer the question.

“Senior, I cannot tell you this question. If you insist on asking, then I will have no choice but to leave the Dragon Clan. You know that if I want to leave now, you cannot stop me.” Long Lingyun suddenly showed a tough side.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon Goddess was taken aback. After her eyes darted around, she burst into laughter.

"Haha, I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just curious. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. Don't worry, the order I gave not long ago was no joke. In the Dragon Clan, you can have whatever you want. The Dragon Clan will do its best to nurture you and help you reach the Divine Realm as soon as possible," the Heavenly Dragon Demon God laughed.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon God saw an opportunity to become an immortal in Long Lingyun.

Some extremely rare human physiques can ignore the suppression of the Heavenly Abyss, and the same is true for the demon race. Only those demons with a full divine beast bloodline can ignore the suppression of the Heavenly Abyss and enter the Immortal Realm, and Long Lingyun has such qualifications.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dragon Demon God was no longer pressing the matter, Long Lingyun withdrew her serious attitude. She also told the Heavenly Dragon Demon God that as long as the Dragon Clan no longer restricted her freedom or made things difficult for her, she could become a member of the Dragon Realm and stand with the Dragon Clan.

That's exactly what the Heavenly Dragon Demon God wanted to hear.

And so, this rather thrilling night came to an end.

The next day, early in the morning, the powerful holy lands of the human race arrived at the edge of the Boundary Sea with their disciples who were participating in the competition. As for the gods of the human race, they entered the Dragon Realm first. The demon gods of the demon race were sure to welcome the arrival of the human gods.

This is the first large-scale competition between the human and demon races, and the human race's powerful gods will definitely be present.

A space was torn open by an external force, and human gods, filled with various divine lights, crossed over from another realm.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin Yuan, you've arrived! I thought you weren't planning to participate in the event." The Heavenly Dragon Demon God led a group of demon gods, smiling as they looked at the Heavenly God Lin Yuan and the Four Extremes Heavenly Gods, among other powerful figures.

Unfortunately, the human race was ultimately weaker than the demon race, since the human race did not have any beings at the eighth level of the Divine Path and could not contend with the demon race.

However, when Lin Qingyou intervened to resolve the crisis at the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the demon race learned that the human race actually had a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Divine Path, but they did not know which faction the expert belonged to.

"The Dragon Clan's invitation is something our various holy lands of the human race cannot refuse," said the Heavenly God Lin Yuan calmly.

"You've arrived, that's good. Please come in," the Heavenly Dragon Demon God gestured.

After speaking, the demon gods led the human gods into the main hall and to their seats. The humans and demons sat opposite each other. As soon as they sat down, the nine-tailed demon god asked a question out of curiosity.

"I've heard that there's a mysterious powerhouse among your human race, whose cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Divine Path. Why hasn't he come here?"

These words stumped Lin Yuantian and the others, because they themselves did not know which force the other party came from, only that he was a powerful figure invited by the Immortal Realm of Longevity.

They also sent people to the Immortal Realm of Immortality to inquire, but unfortunately they found no information.

Just as the human gods were wondering how to respond, a clear, cold laugh rang in their ears.

"Hehehe, do the demon race really want to see me that much? Then I'll come and meet you all." As soon as these words were spoken, a figure enveloped in azure light flew in from outside the hall and landed on the high platform where the human race's celestial god was. Lin Qingyou had actually come.

Ye Liuyun noticed Lin Qingyou's arrival immediately.

"Huh? What's Master doing here?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Lin Qingyou's arrival surprised both the gods and demons present, especially the Heavenly Dragon Demon God, because he found that he could not see through her figure at all. In other words, although they were both at the eighth level of the Divine Path, her level was obviously higher.

"Such a powerful aura, impossible! Human beings don't live as long as demons. If such a powerful being had truly emerged in recent years, I would know about it. This woman seems to have appeared out of nowhere." The Heavenly Dragon Demon God was startled by Lin Qingyou's aura.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon God was at the initial stage of the eighth level of the Divine Path, while Lin Qingyou was at the peak of the eighth level of the Divine Path, infinitely close to the ninth level of the Divine Path.

Upon seeing the mysterious powerful figure appear, the human race also stood up.

"May I ask how you should address me, senior?" Lin Yuantian asked hastily.

The difference between the Heavenly God realm and the human race is one level, which means they are definitely not from the same generation. He had never heard of a human race having an eighth level of the Divine Path, which means that the other party is quite ancient, perhaps surviving from the previous era. Because he knew that there were some special methods that could allow a Heavenly God realm expert to live longer, but the conditions were very harsh.

Lin Qingyou glanced at them and then said calmly.

"No need to ask any more questions. We are cultivators from different eras. My appearance here is only to protect the junior."

Lin Qingyou certainly won't reveal her identity.

The group of powerful figures were stunned. They were very curious about which faction's ancestor Lin Qingyou was.

However, since Lin Qingyou wouldn't say, they couldn't ask any further. In any case, they would find out soon enough which faction's patriarch she was.

The two sides quickly quieted down, but the emotions of the demon race were quite complicated.

"Fellow Daoist Tianlong, are you confident in capturing this mysterious human god?" a demon god inquired.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon God had been observing Lin Qingyou, but still couldn't see through her. The fact that even he couldn't see through her already spoke volumes.

"I can't see through it. The opponent's divine laws are perfect and solid, without any flaws. This level of perfection is as if they have already entered the ninth level of the divine path. I am no match for them," the Heavenly Dragon Demon God said truthfully.

"What? So strong? Could it be an unparalleled expert from the previous era who sealed himself away using a secret technique? Impossible! In the previous era, there were only a handful of human experts who reached the eighth level of the Divine Path. You should know them all." The demon god said in surprise.

Indeed, among those present, the Heavenly Dragon Demon God was a powerful figure from the previous era. The lifespan of the demon race is twice that of the human race. Human gods can only live for nine thousand years, while demon gods can live for eighteen thousand years.

However, once the demon race reaches the Heavenly Abyss Realm, time will be measured in tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the lifespan of demons is further compressed after reaching the Heavenly Abyss Realm.

Furthermore, cultivators like them cannot compete for the Heavenly Abyss. Even if they reach the ninth level of the Divine Path, they are not qualified to achieve the Heavenly Abyss. The Heavenly Abyss realm only exists among cultivators of the current era. In other words, it can only be created within ten thousand years of the previous Heavenly Emperor's reign or within ten thousand years after his fall.

"I don't recognize him. I've never seen this powerful human before. It's very strange." The Heavenly Dragon Demon God shook his head again, indicating that he really had never seen him before.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon God had seen the Ancient Sword Emperor and other powerful figures who had clashed with him, but he had never seen Lin Qingyou.

It's normal that he hasn't seen it. If he told them, it would scare them to death. Lin Qingyou is an ancient person from the early ancient times. The early ancient times are so far removed from the present that no one knows how long ago it was. In addition, the human civilization was destroyed once several tens of thousands of years ago, so it's even more impossible for them to know. Of course, if Lin Qingyou told them that I am the God of Medicine, then the human cultivators might know.

After the human gods entered the arena, the powerful figures from the human holy lands, guided by the dragons, quickly entered the Dragon Realm and went to the newly prepared competition venue, an entire island. The human and demon participants, along with their elders, were all on this island, and Ye Liuyun was also there at the time.

"So many demon cultivators?" The human cultivators were surprised to find that there were several times more demon participants than humans. However, they quickly understood that this was a demon tournament, and their sacred human lands had only been invited temporarily.

To demonstrate their grandeur, the dragons would send a special person to announce the origin of any human who came to a sacred place.

The demon race knows most of the holy lands, but when they hear about the Immortal Realm of Longevity, they seem confused. There aren't many demons who know about the Immortal Realm of Longevity, since it only rose to prominence in the last five hundred years. Most holy lands have a history of tens of thousands of years, and the youngest holy land is at least twenty thousand years old.

Ye Liuyun kept her eyes on the approaching human forces. The last to arrive was the Supreme Holy Land. She also saw Lin Aoxue, who was leading ten people.

The moment Lin Aoxue appeared, the powerful demons couldn't help but focus their attention on her, because they could see that Lin Aoxue was frighteningly young.

"This? I've never heard of this Supreme Holy Land, but isn't their Holy Lord far too young? He's probably only a little over a thousand years old, right? A peak Thunder Tribulation Realm expert at a little over a thousand years old? Isn't that too exaggerated?" Many powerful demons were shocked by Lin Aoxue's arrival.

Not only the demon god, but also the heavenly gods, but some of the heavenly gods also knew about Lin Aoxue.

"Damn it, at this woman's age, she'll probably reach the Divine Realm in a hundred to five hundred years at most. Why do I suddenly feel that the Heavenly Abyss Realm of this era has already been claimed?" Many demon gods on the demon race side showed a very unconfident attitude.

There are reasons why they lack self-confidence.

First of all, there are less than four thousand years left until the end of this era. In other words, Lin Aoxue does not need to consider the past five or six thousand years. She only needs to ensure that she reaches the ninth level of the Divine Path within the remaining four thousand years. Then she will definitely be the current Heavenly Emperor. There is no need to think about this.

Currently, there are very few demons who have reached the Thunder Tribulation Realm at the age of six thousand years old. They would find it difficult to find someone who can compare with Lin Aoxue. If it weren't for the limitation of cultivation level, Lin Aoxue could also participate in this conference.

Furthermore, the Divine Path Secret Realm is an extremely difficult realm to traverse. Even if a demon enters the Divine Path Secret Realm at the age of six thousand, it is virtually impossible for them to achieve the ninth level of the Divine Path within three or four thousand years.

However, it is not particularly rare for the Heavenly Abyss Realm to be vacant; on the contrary, it is quite normal. It can be said that those who can reach the Heavenly Abyss Realm are all monsters among monsters.

"Is this little girl the one with the Ascension to Immortality? She's truly terrifying. Her talent and cultivation speed are unparalleled. She's likely to be the one to reach the Heavenly Abyss Realm in this era. Sigh!" The human gods were quite amazed when they saw Lin Aoxue, but at the same time, they were also quite disappointed and envious.

Many of them are actually six or seven thousand years old, but the problem is, they are not demons. If a demon reached the divine realm at six or seven thousand years old, the position of Heavenly Emperor would be just around the corner.

Of the human gods present, only Wang Tongtian had a chance; the rest had virtually no hope of reaching that level. For a divine cultivator to become a Heavenly Emperor, besides having excellent aptitude, they also needed luck, which was the time of their birth. Only if they were born at the beginning of a new era or in an era where Heavenly Emperors existed could they possibly achieve the Heavenly Abyss.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Sword Emperor perished too early, causing a gap in the lineage for a period of time. This makes the age and birth period of this era very important.

The Heavenly Dragon Demon God was an unlucky fellow. He was born in the era of the Ancient Sword Heavenly Emperor, but the Ancient Sword Heavenly Emperor died not long after becoming an emperor. This forced the era to be recalculated, and he completely missed this time.

This is why many powerful figures in the divine path, even though they are the closest to that realm, still strive to cultivate the next generation, because they know they have no hope.

After Lin Aoxue arrived, she looked around and quickly spotted Ye Liuyun in the fox clan's territory. Ye Liuyun gave her a playful smile, but Lin Aoxue didn't say anything. Instead, she led her disciples to a good place to sit down.

As for Xue Qingwu, she also saw Ye Liuyun, but she was confused as to how Ye Liuyun had become a fox demon.

Chapter 768 The Little Monsters of Yesteryear (5000 words)

Looking back at the Supreme Holy Land, Ye Qingxue's gaze was searching for her mother's figure all over the Immortal Realm of Longevity, but to her surprise, her mother didn't seem to be there.

Ye Qingxue is currently at the peak of the Transformation Realm, and she will soon break through to the Nirvana Realm. Therefore, she definitely meets the competition criteria. Not only her, Ye Fei from the Immortal Realm of Longevity also meets the competition requirements. The Dragon Clan's requirements for human participants are that they cannot be older than three thousand years old and their cultivation level cannot exceed the Nirvana Realm.

In other words, Ye Liuyun's two daughters will be competing on the same stage with her today.

Ye Fei and Ye Qingxue are both monstrous cultivators. Ye Fei has reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm in recent years. She alone is equivalent to the power of five eighth-level Nascent Soul cultivators. Her Five Elements power has also reached this level.

Moreover, the five elements are mutually generating and restraining. Once they can be integrated and used, their combat power can also reach the Nirvana level. As for Ye Qingxue, she is even more so, with her Chaos Body, which is no worse than Lin Aoxue's physique.

"Mother, where's Mom? Didn't you say she was going to participate in this demon clan event too?" Ye Qingxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Aoxue didn't look at Ye Liuyun from the fox clan's side, worried that it would expose her identity, so she whispered a reminder.

"Just look around among the most alluring women of the demon race and you'll see."

Lin Aoxue's words clearly showed her displeasure; she definitely didn't like her husband hanging out with a bunch of vixens.

Ye Qingxue was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She didn't understand why her mother wanted her to look at the demon race. But after thinking about it for a moment, she looked over and quickly saw a familiar face.

"Eh...??????" Ye Qingxue's two big blue eyes bulged out after she found Ye Liuyun.

As for Ye Liuyun, seeing her daughter's astonished expression, she immediately smiled smugly at her.

This was Ye Liuyun's signature smile, and Ye Qingxue knew at a glance that it was her mother. However, she was also a little puzzled as to how her mother had become a fox spirit and was even mixed up with the fox clan.

"What's going on? Did Mom use some kind of ordinary pill again? What's she up to?" Ye Qingxue quickly lowered her head to think about what Ye Liuyun was trying to do.

Ye Fei, on the other side, must have seen Ye Liuyun as well, but she remained calm because she believed that Ye Liuyun must have his own purpose in doing so.

Ye Fei already had a plan in mind. She had to make a good impression today and successfully demonstrate the results of her years of cultivation.

With the arrival of the last human holy site, the tension in this battle intensified.

The demon race suddenly invited the human race to participate in the event for three reasons.

The first objective was to assess the current strength of the human race. They believed that if the human race dared not accept the invitation from the demon race, it meant that the other side lacked confidence. In that case, the demon race might consider advancing their actions. They were only temporarily refraining from a full-scale war with the human race, not saying they would never go to war.

Their second objective was to observe the current state of the human race and see if there were any exceptionally talented individuals. They achieved this objective because Lin Aoxue was exactly the target they wanted to see.

The third purpose was to demonstrate strength. The demon race's top combat power was stronger than that of the human race, and having them come to participate in the event was also intended to put pressure on the human race.

"Hmph! A bunch of demons and monsters, I'll show you the power of the human race later." Some of the more hot-tempered young cultivators were already getting impatient. Mainly because many demons were provoking them with their eyes, while only a few demon groups remained calm and did not provoke the human race.

Looking again at the palaces where these gods and demons reside, the powerful demons have already seen quite a few outrageous characters in the human race's camp.

"This Immortal Realm of Longevity, a holy land-level power that rose to prominence five hundred years ago, has truly impressive disciples. Of the ten, apart from this one who is at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, every single one of them is at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and they all seem to possess special physiques," the Heavenly Dragon Demon God remarked.

“Yes, but what surprised me the most was the Holy Lord of this Supreme Holy Land. She is only a little over a thousand years old, yet she has already reached the peak of the Thunder Tribulation Realm. Moreover, judging from her appearance, she seems to be able to enter the Celestial Realm at any time, as if she is deliberately suppressing it,” another demon god said.

"It's fortunate that there's a cultivation level restriction. If there weren't, this Supreme Saint Lord would probably have swept through both the demon and human races all by himself," another demon god said with a sense of relief.

The demon gods' comments on the human race left the human gods on the other side looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This Supreme Holy Land was the Nine Heavens Holy Land of the Nine Heavens Domain in its previous life, right? Not long ago, they were attacked by the demonic path, their holy land was destroyed, and in the end, they merged with the number two power in that region and changed their name to Supreme Holy Land. But this Holy Master Lin is too young, and she seems to be very low-key." Some gods were also talking in secret.

Some gods may not know much about Lin Aoxue, but others certainly do. After all, the last time the demonic path attacked, it involved two major holy lands in the Nine Heavens Domain. Such a huge commotion couldn't possibly have gone unnoticed by them.

"This Lin Aoxu seems to have a connection with Lord Ye of the Immortal Realm of Longevity, and their connection is quite extraordinary," a knowledgeable deity chuckled.

After the two groups of powerful figures from different realms had been talking for a while, the meeting finally entered another phase.

Suddenly, figures appeared out of thin air in the main seats. It was the Dragon Emperor and his group. As the organizers of this event, they had to be the last to arrive.

"Welcome fellow cultivators of the demon race to the Heavenly Pride Assembly hosted by my Dragon Clan. Also welcome to the distinguished guests of the human race. Many cultivators may not recognize me. Let me introduce myself: I am Aotian, the current Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, and also the leader of the Demon Alliance." This Dragon Emperor introduced himself with an air of dominance as soon as he appeared.

The cultivators on the demon side immediately bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

The humans at most stood up to show their respect to the strong and their master.

They certainly wouldn't bow to the demon race.

The Dragon Emperor smiled and nodded, then waved his hand.

"Please be seated, everyone. Next, I will announce the rules of the conference," said the Dragon Emperor.

After he finished speaking, everyone, including the demon, sat down.

After everyone sat down, a refined-looking dragon from beside the Dragon Emperor immediately stepped forward and began to announce the rules.

"Distinguished guests, this Heavenly Pride Tournament is quite simple. It will be a challenge tournament held on four islands in the Dragon Realm, which means there will be four arenas. Eight cultivators can take turns to defend their arenas and spar at a time. Please give it your all. For each arena, our Dragon Clan will arrange for a strong person to act as the referee."

"However, the referee will only intervene if your life is in danger. So, everyone, please think carefully. Sparring is risky, so be cautious when participating. If you are seriously injured by accident, it will be a great loss."

"By the way, to ensure fairness, if a human prodigy takes the stage, the human race can also send a referee to witness the event alongside our dragon race referee."

"Each contestant has only one chance to go on stage and challenge. If they win, they can continue to challenge. If they lose, they are disqualified. A cultivator who wins three consecutive matches, regardless of whether they are human or demon, can make a request to our Dragon Clan. As long as it is something our Dragon Clan can do, we will definitely fulfill the winner's request. That's the rule."

After announcing the rules, the refined young man from the dragon clan withdrew.

The arena competition is arguably the most intense form of competition.

"Gentlemen, we dragons do not like to waste time. The competition will now begin. The arena is located around this island. Those four islands have been reinforced by our laws, enough for you all to use your skills to your heart's content. I wonder which four young talents would like to take the lead?" The Dragon Emperor said with a smile, while glancing at the human and demon groups.
