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

"Yaoxi, you must recruit this boy into our divine race. If necessary, you can offer clear conditions. He has some unclear relationship with a certain Celestial Venerable. You should understand the importance of this mission." The Jade Emperor's voice rang in Yaoxi's ears as she was lost in thought.

Upon hearing this, Yao Xi paused for a moment, then reappeared beside Ye Liuyun.

"Young master, you may not know the benefits of joining our divine race, or you may have prejudices against our divine race because of some rumors. Please give me a chance to explain," Yao Xi said with a gentle smile.

Ye Liuyun wanted to roll her eyes, but she still gave Yaoxi the chance.

"Alright, then tell me, what benefits would I get from joining your divine race?" Ye Liuyun countered.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was willing to continue listening to her, Yao Xi quickly began to explain.

"First of all, by joining our divine race, you can cultivate our divine race's methods. Our divine race's methods are arguably the purest immortal methods in the Immortal Realm, except for those of innate beings. Joining the divine race guarantees you will become a Golden Immortal, or even a Great Luo Golden Immortal. A Great Luo Golden Immortal is also known as an Immortal Lord. There are also other benefits, such as a monthly supply of immortal pills and immortal crystals, which are benefits that other immortal sects in the Immortal Realm cannot provide." Yao Xi first explained the benefits.

But Ye Liuyun's next words left Yao Xi speechless.

"But I want to become the strongest in the Immortal Realm. Can I become the strongest in the Immortal Realm by going to your God Clan?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

"Huh? Eh? This?" Yao Xi didn't know how to answer.

What else could she say? To become the strongest in the Immortal Realm was only possible by surpassing the level of the Immortal Emperor; otherwise, it was just wishful thinking. Even among their divine race, there was no such thing as the strongest in the Immortal Realm.

"Arrogant, a madman! Number one in the Immortal Realm? Who does he think he is? This is outrageous! Your Majesty, I think this kid is deliberately making fun of our Divine Race." The high-ranking members of the Divine Race were once again provoked by Ye Liuyun's words.

The Jade Emperor was also somewhat unsettled. He had been the Celestial Emperor for so many years, yet he dared not claim to be the number one person in the Celestial Realm. How could a mere Earth Immortal dare to make such a boast? Wasn't this a bit embarrassing for their divine race?

So he got a little angry.

"See, you can't do anything about it, can you? As for whether I have a prejudice against your gods, well, I think your gods have no self-awareness at all, do they?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Yao Xi fell silent again. She could sense that Ye Liuyun was clearly dissatisfied with their divine race. She knew that the people of their divine race were domineering.

Some of the gods actually wanted to change the status quo of the gods. The eldest son of the Jade Emperor, the god Ming, had been promoting the idea of ​​coexisting with all races within his race, which meant that the gods within the race should treat other races equally.

Yao Xi strongly agrees with her brother's beliefs.

Because the current gods believe in the idea of ​​being the supreme being of all the heavens and myriad worlds. In other words, they are the greatest being in the world. Why do they dare to say this? It's because the Celestial Venerable is not considered a being of the Immortal Realm, nor is he considered a being of the Pangu Great World. So, if the Celestial Venerable is not considered a being of the Pangu Great World, then he is naturally a god.

“My divine race does have some problems, but we are not entirely unaware that we have become the opposite of all other races. My elder brother, Shen Ming, is determined to change the current situation within the race. If you, young master, are willing to join the divine race, I am willing to introduce you to my brother,” Yao Xi said earnestly.

Originally, Ye Liuyun had no good feelings towards the gods, but after Yao Xi said that, she suddenly had some other thoughts.

Yao Xi's words must have displeased the higher-ups of the God Clan.

"This? Princess Yaoxi, how can you say such a thing? Is it necessary to say this to outsiders?" Some radical members of the gods were displeased.

However, as Yao Xi said, there is a reformist faction among the gods, and they follow the crown prince of the gods. The crown prince is currently here. He is a gentle and refined young man, wearing a golden crown and a golden robe, sitting in the position closest to the Jade Emperor and Yaochi. Then there are some of the older princes of the gods who are in the front row.

This god is also a powerful being at the level of a Celestial King.

The Jade Emperor glanced at his son but said nothing. It was not unusual for fathers and sons to disagree on political matters.

According to the rules within the divine race, the Jade Emperor will have to pass the throne to the next generation in another 100,000 years.

Because each generation of gods can only rule for one million years.

“Originally, there are some things I shouldn’t have said. I think the reason why our divine race was warned by the Celestial Venerable that a great calamity is coming is probably because some people in the divine race don’t take the other races seriously and have always regarded other races as inferior races. This kind of behavior has caused turmoil in recent years.”

"Do you all remember when Sun Yuan rallied powerful beings from all races to attack my God Clan's Heavenly Court?" a powerful member of the God Clan reminded him.

That statement is quite ironic.

"God Rift, what are you saying? How dare you bring this up?" someone stood up and shouted angrily.

This matter has always been a taboo for the gods, because Sun Yuan had actually stormed into the Heavenly Court of the gods, and fought his way up to the Jade Emperor, even getting into a fight with him.

Sun Yuan was a peak Celestial King at the time. With his immense power, he almost made the Jade Emperor lose face. If the Four Heavenly Kings hadn't arrived in time, the Heavenly Emperor of the Central Heavenly Court would probably have been replaced.

Before Sun Yuan did this, the Jade Emperor rarely restricted the cultivation of immortals. It was only after this incident that he became afraid and created the Heavenly Rules to suppress the immortals of the celestial realm.

"I brought this up simply to tell you all that our divine race cannot be too arrogant. From just now until now, you haven't even taken the immortals who are related to the Celestial Venerable seriously. Don't you think that's a bit too arrogant?"

"Leaving aside everything else, just look at the Taiqing Immortal Palace, the Shangqing Immortal Palace, and the Yuqing Immortal Palace. Apart from the disciples of my divine race, how many of the Heavenly Venerable disciples of other races do you even consider?" This Heavenly Lord called Shen Lie said without any fear.

There must be some people in the divine race who need to tell the truth. Those who remain stagnant and still live in the dream of the divine race ruling the entire immortal realm are simply not going to work.

The radicals and reformers immediately started arguing. One felt that the Protoss were not strong enough, while the other felt that the Protoss should be more low-key. In fact, there was also a conservative faction, which was the centrists. They watched the show without saying anything, and in their opinion, it was best for the Protoss to maintain the status quo.

In this matter, the Heavenly Kings basically remained silent, because if they spoke, it would easily arouse unnecessary suspicion in the Jade Emperor.

However, one of the princes spoke up at this moment.

"Everyone, why argue over this? What's wrong with our divine race being superior to other races? Don't forget, the Immortal Realm has gradually become perfect because of our divine race. Even the Heavenly Dao acknowledges this, so why don't you acknowledge it?" It was the Second Princess, Shen Ling, who spoke.

Among the gods, only ability matters, not gender; even female gods are qualified to become god-kings.

As soon as the deity spoke, the Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Because his second daughter's words reflected his own thoughts, he believed that since the Great Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm had not rejected their divine race, it meant that their divine race's fortune had not declined, so why should they admit defeat?

Of course, as the supreme deity and the Heavenly Emperor, he could not openly show favoritism.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun, after some thought, surprisingly chose to half-agree to Yao Xi's request.

“Miss Yaoxi, what you said makes some sense. But I don’t want to go to the God Clan right now. How about you give me a token from your God Clan? When the time is right, I will go to your God Clan to take a look.” Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Yao Xi didn't think much of it; she assumed that Ye Liuyun had been persuaded by her.

“Great! Here you go. This is my God Clan identity token. As long as you come to the Central Heavenly Street and find any member of the God Clan, they can take you to the God Clan.” Yao Xi said happily.

Ye Liuyun quickly took the token and glanced at it; it read "Eighth Princess of the Divine Clan".

"Princess, are you the eighth princess of the Divine Clan?" Ye Liuyun asked, somewhat surprised.

Yao Xi nodded.

“Yes, but I am just a princess of the gods, and you are not a god, so there’s no need to be particularly surprised,” Yao Xi said with a smile.

Yao Xi really does seem quite different from those other arrogant gods.

"Hehe, alright, you are different from the other gods I've met. Not long ago, I even fought with one of your people and stole his treasure. Your gods shouldn't hold a grudge, right?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Yao Xi was taken aback.

"Oh, is that so? You didn't kill him, did you?" Yao Xi asked hurriedly.

Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"I just knocked him out and took his treasure."

Yao Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Ye Liuyun hadn't killed anyone.

"That's alright, don't worry. We, the people of the Divine Race, value our reputation the most. If we are not as skilled as others, no elders will come to our aid. However, you should be careful, as they might send their friends or siblings to cause you trouble," Yao Xi said.

"Eh? Really? That's troublesome. I'm just a minor Earth Immortal. If they send a few Celestial Immortals all at once, I'll be doomed." Ye Liuyun looked scared.

But Yao Xi couldn't help but laugh at Ye Liuyun's reaction.

"I don't see any fear on your part, young master. But don't worry, if they really try to gang up on me, you can show them the identity token I gave you. After all, I am a princess of the Divine Clan, and even the Heavenly Lord of the Divine Clan has to give me some face," Yao Xi said.

Ye Liuyun quickly glanced at the token in his hand.

"Really? Then this is a good thing, I have to keep it safe." Ye Liuyun quickly put the token away.

After finishing this task, Ye Liuyun looked ahead again.

"Excuse me, Miss Yaoxi, what is that cluster of celestial palaces ahead?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Yao Xi glanced over there, then explained with a smile.

"That's the outer Ascension Palace, the place with the most treasures and the greatest opportunities in the outer part of the Divine Treasury Space. Does the young master want to go and take a look? If the young master wants to go, I can take you there. There are immortals from my divine clan conducting tests there. If I take you there, you should be able to pass through without any obstacles."

Ye Liuyun's eyes darted around, thinking to himself, "How cool would it be to have a princess leading the way?"

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Miss Yaoxi," Ye Liuyun said.

Yao Xi was indeed easy to talk to, and she actually led Ye Liuyun towards the Immortal Palace.

However, Yao Xi's easygoing and low-key demeanor displeased many high-ranking members of the God Clan, who believed that as a princess of the God Clan, she should have her own pride and should also show the attitude appropriate to her current status.

However, the reformists praised Yao Xi's actions highly.

"Look at you all, Princess Yaoxi is so kind and respectful to those in power that others agreed to accept the invitation. If you were to go and invite others, I'm afraid it would be a miracle if we didn't start a fight," a reformist Heavenly Lord said sarcastically.

These words left the radical Protoss speechless.

As for the royal family and the princesses, their reactions varied. Some supported the Crown Prince, while others supported the Second Princess, Shen Ling.

However, Shen Ming basically didn't say a word, because he knew very well that no matter what he said, it would be useless. Besides, his father was the leader of the radical faction, so he naturally couldn't say anything in public that contradicted his father's ideas.

Led by Yao Xi, Ye Liuyun arrived at the main gate leading into the Immortal Palace complex.

Just as he arrived, the young god-race member who had been beaten up by Ye Liuyun a short while ago spotted Ye Liuyun.

"It's you! How dare you come here! I'll kill you!" The young god-race man flew towards Ye Liuyun in a fit of rage.

All of this happened suddenly; Ye Liuyun hadn't expected this guy to be here.

But just as he approached Ye Liuyun, Yao Xi appeared in front of Ye Liuyun.

The young man was startled when he saw Yao Xi, and then quickly stopped in his tracks.

"Eighth Princess, what brings you here?" The young man quickly landed and bowed to greet her.

Those around were astonished by this scene, and the divine immortals who were undergoing the test, as well as the other immortals undergoing trials, all stopped.

"Young Master, was it him who fought with you?" Yao Xi asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the guy, then nodded innocently.

"Princess, this brat is audacious and reckless. He used his secret technique to humiliate me. I will never forgive him. Please allow me to kill him," the young god said with a face full of grief and indignation.

Just as Yao Xi was about to say something, the rest of the gods arrived at the scene immediately.

"Eighth Sister, what brings you here?" Yao Ying asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yao Xi glanced at Ye Liuyun and then explained.

"I am here to escort this young master into the Ascension Palace."

This puzzled the gods. Who was this person who needed their princess to personally escort him?

"This? Is he the young talent our divine race wants to recruit? But isn't his cultivation level too low?" Yao Ying asked, looking puzzled.

The other gods looked at Ye Liuyun with expressions of suspicion and disdain.

"This has nothing to do with you. As for you, if you feel unconvinced by your defeat to this young master, then go back and cultivate diligently. Wait for this young master to come to my divine race to challenge you again. You lost, you lost, there's nothing to say." Yao Xi said to the young man in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the gods were stunned.

"What?! Shen Haoyang?! You actually lost to him and he stripped you of all your treasures?"

Because they felt that it was simply impossible, since Ye Liuyun's displayed level of skill was far too low.

The young man from the Divine Clan named Shen Haoyang blushed instantly, feeling utterly ashamed.

"Stripped naked? No way, I only took his treasures and storage magic items. I left his clothes behind. Oh, I see. Someone must have taken them after I left. Who's so shameless?" Ye Liuyun was speechless.

"You? You just wait." The young god was too ashamed to stay any longer and left.

Even so, these gods and immortals still cast disapproving glances at Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, move aside," Yao Xi said again.

After receiving Yao Xi's order, the gods made way for him, and Ye Liuyun followed Yao Xi into the Ascension Palace with a smile, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After entering the Ascension Palace, Yao Xi asked Ye Liuyun what he wanted.

“By the way, young master, I don’t know what you want. I know this place very well, and I can take you to where you want to go,” Yao Xi asked.

Ye Liuyun immediately thought for a moment.

"Hey, of course I want the best stuff here. Isn't it said that there's an opportunity here that can make an immortal become a Golden Immortal?" Ye Liuyun replied.

However, Yao Xi seemed to advise against Ye Liuyun taking it.

“This, young master, there is indeed such an opportunity, but I suggest that you do not choose that method to enter the Golden Immortal level. That opportunity actually relies on the power of the Heavenly Court. Do you understand what I mean?” Yao Xi reminded Ye Liuyun with her divine sense.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. She immediately understood that if that was the case, then that power was not a good thing.

"Understood. Then I want a Golden Immortal-level cultivation technique and a Golden Immortal-level treasure," Ye Liuyun said.

Yao Xi chuckled.

“Then let’s go. However, both places have certain requirements and restrictions, and I’m afraid you don’t have the ability to do so, young master,” Yao Xi said with a smile.

Her words indicated that she wanted to see what Ye Liuyun was capable of that made her father personally order her to win him over.

"Hehe, Miss Yaoxi, you can take me there. I don't know what the situation is like over there yet, so I definitely need to take a look first. If I'm not capable enough, Miss Yaoxi, you should be, right? Why don't I ask you for help then?" Ye Liuyun said shamelessly.
