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

At this moment, the Jade Emperor and other gods and immortal kings arrived at the most secret place of the gods. This place was isolated by the dense power of the Great Heavenly Dao, a place that even the Heavenly Venerable could not see through in the current world.

This is where the golden egg that absorbs merit and karmic obstacles is located.

"Our divine race's secret has probably been leaked. That little girl who stole our creation treasure must have seen something. We must hurry, or our divine race may not be able to cope with the Heavenly Venerable's wrath," the Jade Emperor said worriedly, looking at the golden egg.

What happened today was both expected and unexpected. He had thought that someone would come to help, but he didn't expect it to be these retired forces.

These forces were clearly authorized by the Celestial Venerable to come out and help; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to openly cause trouble.

Chapter 996 Plan

Their divine race was desperate to bring Ye Liuyun back to their race, but their real purpose was to prevent their divine race's secrets from being leaked by the Sealing Heaven Pearl and Ye Liuyun.

However, their secret has now been discovered by others. Otherwise, the Red Lotus Cult Leader's secret arrangement of a formation to absorb karmic power beneath the Boundary Sea would not have been discovered.

After all, who would care about what's happening below the Boundary Sea after something like this? Most importantly, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire Array can shield immortals from the perception of karmic power. Even Immortal Emperors cannot detect that they are absorbing karmic power without special methods.

However, the Heaven-Sealing Pearl possesses the strongest insight in the world. If the person who carries the Heaven-Sealing Pearl can use its power, then they will definitely be able to discover the karmic power that is shielded by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Array.

Just as the Jade Emperor and the others were talking, another powerful Immortal King arrived. After arriving, this person slowly took off his black robe, revealing a charming man with red clothes, red hair, and red eyes.

"Your Majesty, this divine egg will be fully developed in three years at most. Our divine race needs to buy us three years. After three years, we will have the power to fight against the Heavenly Venerable."

This person is the leader of the Red Lotus Cult. Indeed, the Red Lotus Cult, the largest evil organization in the Immortal Realm, is actually controlled by the God Clan. The God Clan only appears to be very righteous on the surface, but in reality, the God Clan has two branches: light and darkness.

On the surface, the Light faction of the Gods dominates the Immortal Realm, while the Dark faction hides in various parts of the Immortal Realm, collecting karmic power and doing dirty things for the Gods that are difficult to handle openly.

Take Lin Qingyou for example. She was attacked by the Dark God Clan back then. The God Clan certainly wouldn't openly suppress those talented immortals who had the ability to break through to the Immortal King level but were not controlled by the God Clan.

If everyone knew that the gods were doing such things, they would probably have fled the Central Heaven Realm long ago. This is not a good thing for the gods, which is why so many immortals are willing to join the gods.

At least in the perception of ordinary immortals, although the gods are domineering and arrogant, they are the most powerful race in the immortal realm, the uncrowned kings of the immortal realm.

This Crimson Lotus Cult Leader, a peak Immortal King, is the leader of the Dark God Clan.

However, even he had to obey the Jade Emperor, because the Jade Emperor was the one who possessed the most power of the God Ancestor after the division of the God race, so the Jade Emperor was the natural ruler of the God race.

"Three years? Red Lotus, do you know they won't give us three years? Do you understand? I need to be faster, as fast as possible, and I'm willing to pay any price for it. Do you understand?" the Jade Emperor said in a deep voice.

The Crimson Lotus Immortal King was stunned.

“However, the Eastern Heavenly Realm has already discovered our actions and has probably taken action. Even if they don’t know what we’re trying to do, if they know that our divine race is collecting a large amount of merit and karmic obstacles, they will definitely connect it to what we are doing. It will be difficult for us to collect karmic obstacles on such a large scale again,” the Crimson Lotus Immortal King said helplessly.

However, the Jade Emperor knew how terrifying the Heavenly Venerable was. Now that their secret had been exposed, it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Venerable found out.

The Celestial Venerable will definitely interfere and stop their divine race.

"No, at most one year. You must collect all the karmic power needed for the divine egg within one year, otherwise my divine race may really have to withdraw from the stage," the Jade Emperor urged.

Looking at the Jade Emperor's serious expression, the Crimson Lotus Immortal King could only answer helplessly after a moment's thought.

"Okay, I'll do my best, but doing so will definitely cause quite a stir."

"Hmph! I can't worry about that now. Just do it. If they knew the true purpose of my divine race, I believe they would be very proud," the Jade Emperor said coldly.

The Crimson Lotus Immortal King nodded, then disappeared again.

After speaking of the Red Lotus Immortal King, the Jade Emperor looked at the other four Heavenly Kings.

"The four of you will go and take charge of the four directions of the Central Heaven Realm, and make sure the Central Heaven Realm is stable. The Eastern Emperor and the others are not our divine race. Our divine race dares to do anything against the will of the Heavenly Venerable, but because of the intervention of the Great Heavenly Dao, they dare not do anything to our divine race. As for the four Heavenly Realms, they dare not launch a large-scale divine war," the Jade Emperor said.

The Four Heavenly Kings nodded and then hurriedly left.

The gods in various parts of the Central Heaven Realm also received orders to maintain martial law, to pay close attention to the situation in their respective regions, and to prevent anyone from causing trouble in the Central Heaven Realm.

Of course, he also ordered the powerful gods in various regions to keep an eye on Sun Yuan's movements. At present, Sun Yuan is definitely a big problem for the gods, or rather, a big problem for the gods' heavenly court.

Sun Yuan, who is at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm, is capable of challenging him, the Heavenly Emperor. Their divine race absolutely cannot lose the protection of the Heavenly Court, because the Heavenly Court is their divine race's shield.

If the protective shield is gone, then the gods will be in trouble, because once the gods are no longer the masters of the Heavenly Court, the other four Heavenly Realms will have no worries about attacking them.

Looking at Ye Liuyun's side, after Donghuang saw off those hidden clan experts, he summoned Ye Liuyun again.

"Little girl, have you already mastered the power of the Heaven-Sealing Pearl?" This was the first question Donghuang asked.

How could Ye Liuyun answer this question? She couldn't use the Sealing Heaven Pearl on her own right now; she could only use it if Feng Tian was willing to let her.

"No, I can't use its power on my own. The fact that I was able to discover the God Clan's conspiracy today was because the Sealing Heaven Pearl actively released its power to help me," Ye Liuyun replied.

Donghuang nodded slightly.

"The gods are definitely doing something terrible, but while they can break the rules, and they have the ability to do so, my Eastern Heaven Realm cannot. At least until the gods are still the masters of the Central Heavenly Court, we cannot do such a thing," the Eastern Emperor stated.

This statement tells Ye Liuyun that if he wants the gods to step down, he must remove the Jade Emperor from his position as Heavenly Emperor and separate the gods from the Central Heavenly Realm.

This can be described as a very difficult task.

"So, does that mean the only solution lies with the monkey?" Ye Liuyun countered.

But Donghuang shook his head.

"You could say that, but you can't say that either. Even if Sun Yuan has a way to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, he will still be facing an entire God race, not just the Jade Emperor alone. Do you understand what I mean?" Donghuang said seriously.

Ye Liuyun sighed again upon hearing this.

"Sigh! I have a feeling I have something to do." Ye Liuyun sighed.

Donghuang chuckled.

"I think you, little girl, might have a way to resolve this matter. After all, this matter was caused by you, and I know your abilities very well. If you go to the Central Heaven Realm, you should be able to quickly raise an army to resist the gods, just like the Anti-Heaven Immortal Alliance back then," said the Eastern Emperor.

He knew about Ye Liuyun's activities in the Longevity Sect and her help in making Wen Qin a Celestial King. This showed that if Ye Liuyun wanted to, she could probably build up a large force in a very short time.

"Your Majesty, you trust me quite a bit. However, I do have some matters to resolve with the Divine Race, not just the Sealing Heaven Pearl. Alright, I won't say any more. After I finish dealing with the Longevity Sect, I'll go to the Central Heaven Realm. But Your Majesty will probably have to see me off then," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Donghuang smiled and nodded.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun disappeared into the Eastern Emperor Palace. When she came to her senses again, she had already returned to the Longevity Sect.

Liu Su and the others have already returned; Wen Qin must have brought them back.

"Sister, you're back! What happened? How did you suddenly get taken to the Heavenly Court by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?" Liu Su and the others asked hurriedly.

Ye Liuyun didn't know how to explain this.

"Let's talk about it in the main hall. Things are very complicated, and I reckon I'll be quite busy," Ye Liuyun said with a helpless expression.

Soon, all the important figures of the Longevity Sect gathered in the sect's main hall.

"Everyone, I may need to make a trip to the Central Heaven Realm. I will have to entrust the Longevity Sect to your care for a while." Ye Liuyun announced this as soon as he arrived.

These words stunned Liu Su and the others.

"This, go to the Central Heaven Realm? Sister Liuyun, are you sure you're not out of your mind? Are you planning to walk right into a trap?" Long Lingyun was stunned.

Although she guessed that Ye Liuyun must have some secret mission to carry out, she felt that if possible, it would be better for Ye Liuyun not to go. Going to Zhongtian Realm at this time would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den; once discovered, there would be big trouble.

Ye Liuyun smiled helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. This whole thing started because of me, and I can't just keep hiding. You've all seen the strength of the Gods; the Eastern Heaven Realm can't possibly fight them off. And those powerful figures who come to help can't possibly help the Eastern Heaven Realm resist the Gods every time, can they?" Ye Liuyun said.

This is indeed a big problem.

"Oh, don't look so worried. Don't worry, I'm going in disguise this time. My daughter is currently building up her power in the Zhongtian Realm. Once things are stable there, you can go and help her. Of course, it's all voluntary," Ye Liuyun said again.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had no other choice, Liu Su and the others could only let him go, because they knew they couldn't stop him; Ye Liuyun's personality had always been like that.

"Alright, then it's all up to you, sister." Liu Su nodded.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly, and then spoke to Long Lingyun and the others.

"Actually, there's no need for you to stay here with me. You'd be better off finding a good place to improve your cultivation. Many of you are already at the Celestial Immortal level, but Celestial Immortals can't fight against the Gods. You should all go and cultivate yourselves and strive to reach the Golden Immortal level as soon as possible."

After thinking for a while, Long Lingyun and the others all nodded.

They are currently unable to join the Longevity Sect, as the sect's official disciple quota is full. They might as well take this opportunity to travel to various parts of the Immortal Realm and broaden their horizons, as there is no point in squeezing into such a small place as the Longevity Sect.

“Alright, then I’ll go and explore the various places in the Eastern Heaven Realm, and improve myself along the way.” Long Lingyun agreed.

Bai Bing had no objections. As for Liu Su and the others, they would focus their attention on breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

"Anyway, that's how it is. Elder Chen, go and greet those prodigies. Tell them that the opportunity for the Longevity Sect hasn't arrived yet. Tell them not to keep waiting here. They'd be better off going back to break through to the Golden Immortal realm before coming back. Waiting here won't bring them any opportunities." Ye Liuyun added.

After saying everything they needed to say, Long Lingyun, Bai Bing, and the others left the Changsheng Sect one after another. As for the people who were originally from the Changsheng Sect, Ye Liuyun didn't need to worry about them. They had everything they needed now, and she didn't need to keep an eye on them for a while.

This time she could only go alone, because Ye Liuyun was going to infiltrate the God Clan, not to travel to the Central Heaven Realm. But she would definitely have to see her master first.

Having met her master, she felt she had learned what she needed to know, and could now focus on dealing with the gods.

Why did she go to the God Clan? Because the group of God Clan members led by the Crown Prince might be able to undermine the God Clan from within.

The gods are arrogant, but that doesn't mean they're brainless. In fact, the new generation of gods, led by the crown prince, believe that the gods are heading towards a dead end, much like the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans of yesteryear.

However, they are outnumbered and lack support from higher-ups, so most of the time they can only watch or offer advice.

Chapter 997 Religious Kingdom

Ye Liuyun's mind works quickly, or rather, it was an unexpected piece of information she obtained while disguising her identity that revealed problems within the God Clan. She felt that since there was no particularly good solution at the moment, and she had no choice but to confront the God Clan, she could only take the initiative.

Ye Liuyun had a good understanding of herself. Her strengths lay in secretly plotting, taking advantage of chaos, and forming cliques. Putting aside everything else, her ability to form cliques was definitely her forte. She was confident that as long as she could infiltrate the God Clan, she could use her financial power to create a powerful faction within the God Clan in a short period of time.

After all, the gods are doing this for their own benefit, but Ye Liuyun believes that even among the gods, their interests are different, and there must be some among them who understand that the gods are playing with fire.

If someone is playing with fire, then someone has to find a way to leave a way out for the gods. They can't all follow the Jade Emperor to gamble on that last chance of survival, can they?

Ye Liuyun didn't tell her parents about what she was going to do. There was no way around it; it was inherently a risky thing. She had promised them last time that she would never put herself in danger again, but when the time came to do these things, Ye Liuyun still couldn't control herself.

If the gods were truly an entirely evil race, Ye Liuyun would never have used such methods. However, after talking with Yao Xi, she believed that the conservative and low-key faction within the gods was innocent.

At the very least, they should be pulled out of this muddy mess. Then, no matter how much the Jade Emperor and his ilk cause trouble, she doesn't follow any set rules and acts entirely on her own whims. Some of her ideas might not be pleasing to others, or she might be prone to forcing others.

But she didn't care about any of that.

For example, if you know that someone is going to commit suicide, but they may have better options, are you obligated to respect their wishes and let them commit suicide?

There are always two sides to everything we do; there will always be people who don't like it. But should we stop doing something just because some people don't like it?

A few days later, after Ye Liuyun had settled everything, he transformed back into the young man he had met with Yao Xi last time and arrived at the Eastern Heavenly Court.

Upon arriving at the Eastern Heavenly Court, they saw the Eastern Emperor and the Moon Goddess observing Ye Liuyun with bewildered expressions.

"What an amazing disguise! Even we can't see a single flaw. It's just like the real thing. Little girl, where did you learn this transformation technique? I'm very curious about which master taught you these skills. To be honest, even the two of us couldn't do a disguise like yours," Donghuang muttered.

Ye Liuyun had never really understood how he had mastered alchemy, but one thing was certain: he knew that Lin Qingyou hadn't created it herself. If Lin Qingyou's alchemy skills were as strong as hers, would she have been nearly driven to her death?

"Yes, it's a unique method. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please send me to the Central Heaven Realm." Ye Liuyun certainly wouldn't directly say that his method was due to the effects of the elixir.

But in reality, Donghuang and the others already understood that Ye Liuyun's alchemy technique was very peculiar, a kind of alchemy technique that reversed the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

"What do you plan to do?" Donghuang asked again.

Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"It's hard to say, I can only say I'll do my best," Ye Liuyun replied.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun seemed very unsure of himself, the two thought for a moment and then suddenly took out two unknown treasures for Ye Liuyun.

“What the little girl’s gods are doing endangers the entire Immortal Realm. Your going to the Central Heaven Realm is also for the safety and stability of the entire Immortal Realm. As the administrators of the Eastern Heaven Realm, we can’t say that we won’t help you at all.”

"Take these two treasures for protection. This one is called the Yang Cauldron, and this one is called the Yin Furnace." After exchanging a glance, Donghuang and Yueshen handed Ye Liuyun a beautiful bronze cauldron that exuded extreme yang energy and a furnace that emitted a dark blue glow.

These two treasures look extraordinary. Ye Liuyun is a scoundrel; he'd be a coward if he didn't accept treasures offered to him.

"Haha, what a treasure! I love treasures shaped like tripods and furnaces. Thank you so much." Ye Liuyun accepted the treasures from the two of them without any hesitation.

Once they received it, they were absolutely delighted with it.

"Eh? You really don't hold back at all, girl." Donghuang said speechlessly.

But then, something even more absurd happened.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you have any other treasures? I'm about to embark on some great undertaking. Do you have any better treasures to protect me, like a creation treasure?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"How amusing! You little rascal, you're really greedy. Don't worry, these two treasures we're giving you are definitely no less than the most precious artifacts created at the beginning of time," the Moon Goddess laughed.

Why did they say that? It's because these two treasures didn't belong to them; they had recently taken them from their master.

Or perhaps the two Celestial Venerables instructed them to pass it on to Ye Liuyun. At the time, they had been wanting to ask their master who Ye Liuyun was and why the two Celestial Venerables seemed so concerned about Ye Liuyun's safety.

However, the two celestial beings reiterated that heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, and that you will know when the time is right.

"Really? What are the effects of these two treasures? What are their grades? They're not top-tier treasures from the beginning of creation, but they're at least innate spiritual treasures, right?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.
