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

However, Donghuang and the other two did not actually know what level of treasure it was, because they could not see through it.

"Take a look for yourself when you have time; treasures have spirits," Donghuang said again.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and then stopped talking nonsense.

"Alright, send me to the Eastern Heaven Realm. Oh, and it would be best to send me to the Holy Spirit State first; I have an old friend I need to see," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Donghuang nodded, then waved his hand at Ye Liuyun.

"Go."

With this flick of the wrist, the clouds seemed to fall into a spatial tunnel, plummeting wildly.

"Oh my god, Your Majesty, can't you be a little gentler?" Ye Liuyun's complaining voice came from the crack.

As Donghuang and Yueshen watched Ye Liuyun leave, Yueshen, in particular, almost laughed again.

"This is so much fun. If I could keep my identity secret for now, I would really like to adopt her as my sister. It would be so wonderful to have such a fun sister by my side," the Moon Goddess said with a smile.

"Hmm, she is indeed a remarkable person. To be honest, we have never seen her among the Ten Heavenly Venerables. Which one do you think she resembles?" Donghuang asked.

After some thought, the Moon Goddess gave an answer.

"So free and unrestrained, doing whatever she pleases, do you think this little girl might be some mysterious and unparalleled Celestial Venerable? I really think so. There's no pattern to what this little girl does, and we can't see through her at all. Only the Celestial Venerable, who represents freedom, could have such a feeling," the Moon Goddess said.

Donghuang thought so too. First of all, the Ten Great Masters, Taiyin and Taiyang are their masters. Wanfa, Yuanshi, and Lingbao all have real Daoist temples. Yuanchu Tianzun seems to be related to Yuanshi Tianzun. Youming Tianzun represents death, and you can't see her if you're not dead.

They were fortunate enough to meet the Celestial Venerable of Feathered Ascension once. The Celestial Venerable of Feathered Ascension represented the hope of all living beings and was a very solemn Celestial Venerable.

They couldn't even be sure if the Celestial Venerable of Immortality existed, so the Celestial Venerable of Freedom was the most likely candidate.

Because their master had introduced them to the characteristics of the ten Celestial Venerables, and the one whose personality best matched Ye Liuyun's was the Carefree Celestial Venerable.

Because the incarnations of the Carefree Celestial Venerable are probably the most numerous, at least that's what their master said. He said that although the Carefree Celestial Venerable seems very mysterious, many people may have actually seen him, you just don't know it.

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, after this fall, she suddenly stopped. When she came to her senses again, she had already landed outside a city.

This is the location of the Holy Spirit State in the Central Heaven Realm, a place with a strong religious faith.

It is also one of the larger states in the Central Heaven Realm. Here, you can see all the different sects and styles of the Immortal Realm, including Buddhism, Taoism, and all sorts of other religions.

Zhongtian Realm is also the only celestial realm with a mixed civilization of mixed races.

"Huh? It fell down, that was fast, but the process was a bit unpleasant." Ye Liuyun stood up from the ground and looked around. He saw a huge city in front of him, where many immortals dressed in all sorts of clothes were going in and out.

The immortals here are dressed in very special ways: Taoist priests in robes, monks in robes, and magicians in magic robes, creating a strong religious atmosphere.

"Is this place particularly unique?" Ye Liuyun asked as she walked into the city. She knew she had to be drawn into the city to find out about a place.

But before he had taken more than a few steps, a nun suddenly blocked Ye Liuyun's path.

“Amitabha Buddha, female benefactor, I see that you have an affinity with the Buddha. Why don’t you join the Buddhist order with me? You may attain the position of Bodhisattva.”

Ye Liuyun was stunned. He had just arrived in Holy Spirit State, and he had already run into a recruitment drive.

She sized up the nun in front of her, then decisively refused.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in Buddhism. You should find someone else," Ye Liuyun said, turning and leaving.

The nun didn't seem angry; instead, she left immediately. Then, she saw someone who didn't look like a religious monk approach her and they struck up a conversation, with her saying, "We're destined to meet."

"Seriously? Do you have to do this? Tell everyone you meet that you're destined to meet?" Ye Liuyun said, both amused and exasperated.

Ye Liuyun took a few more steps forward, but was immediately stopped again by a Taoist priest.

"Amitabha Buddha, young lady, I see that your mind is shining brightly, you must be a person of great fortune. Would you be willing to join my Taoist sect, the Heaven-Mending Sect?"

Ye Liuyun wanted to roll her eyes.

"Hey, Taoist priest, what's going on here? Are you trying to poach people? Is the competition in Holy Spirit State really that fierce?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The young Taoist priest chuckled upon hearing this.

"Young lady, it seems you are an outsider. But that's alright, you'll soon learn about our customs. It seems you have no intention of joining our Taoist sect, so I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

The young Taoist priest also left without hesitation.

"Hey? You have no patience at all. How are you going to recruit people? Are you just going through the motions?" Ye Liuyun complained.

Ye Liuyun continued walking forward. In the distance of less than a hundred meters from the city gate, at least a dozen religious disciples came to recruit Ye Liuyun.

It was all a mess, and the most outrageous one was the Hehuan Sect. They even described the benefits of their sect in great detail, which was incredibly absurd.

Nearly half an hour later, Ye Liuyun finally entered the city gate.

"Damn, it's less than a hundred meters away, and we've encountered so many forces recruiting disciples. It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying," Ye Liuyun complained.

Once inside the city, how should one describe its atmosphere? Ye Liuyun felt as if he had entered another time and space, or rather, a strange and chaotic world with an odd atmosphere. There were very few ordinary people dressed like ordinary folks on the streets; at least 90% of the immortals had a distinct religious style.

For example, the dozen or so religious recruiters she just encountered outside are also common sights throughout the city.

Take the Hehuan Sect for example. Men and women were paired up, and the female disciples' clothing and appearance could only be described as sexually suggestive. The male disciples were also shirtless, making for a very strange scene.

The key point is that they seemed completely unconcerned, and the other disciples from the surrounding sects also remained calm.

You can see a lot of strange and unusual styles here.

"Hey, girl over there, are you from out of town? Want your fortune told? If my fortune telling is inaccurate, it's free." Just as Ye Liuyun was dazzled by the scene, a clear and bright voice came to her ears.

Chapter 998 Strange People Along the Way

Ye Liuyun immediately looked to the side and saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face sitting by the roadside, setting up a fortune-telling stall. The stall said that he could predict good or bad fortune, future prospects, and marriage. If the prediction was inaccurate, he would not charge money.

Ye Liuyun had originally wanted to ask someone for information, and she thought that this old Taoist priest might be someone she could ask for news from.

So, out of curiosity, I went over there.

This old Taoist priest's cultivation level is not high; he seems to be just a minor deity, which is quite strange.

"Old Taoist priest, are you sure you can say you won't charge money here?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and then said with a smile.

"You must be from the Eastern Heaven Realm."

These words startled Ye Liuyun. She immediately looked at her attire and felt that she didn't have any strong oriental characteristics. How could the other person have recognized her origin at a glance?

She felt that the old Taoist priest might have some skills, so she sat down.

"Interesting. How did you figure that out?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

The old Taoist priest answered in a mystical manner.

"I've only done a quick calculation with my fingers. Hmm, let me calculate your background and purpose in coming to Holy Spirit State."

The old Taoist priest, like a charlatan, started shaking his head and counting on his fingers.

Ye Liuyun wanted to see what this guy was up to.

“Oh, I’ve got it. That’s strange. You don’t look like a married woman to me. You came to Holy Spirit State to find your daughter, right? Let me calculate again.” After saying that, the old Taoist priest started calculating again.

Ye Liuyun was greatly surprised when the other party revealed the purpose of his visit to Holy Spirit State.

"Stop calculating, senior, you even figured this out?" If the other party had figured out her origins earlier, it might be because she had the mark of the Eastern Heaven Realm on her, but the fact that the other party could figure out that she came to find her daughter meant that it was no guess.

Because the other party even figured out that she didn't look like a woman.

The old Taoist priest stopped when he heard Ye Liuyun say that.

"It seems you trust this old Taoist priest, young lady. Would you like to have your fortune told?" the old Taoist priest asked.

Ye Liuyun decided to treat it as asking for directions.

"Alright, then senior, tell me, can I achieve my purpose here?" Ye Liuyun asked.

When Ye Liuyun asked this question, the old Taoist priest thought for a moment and then gave a result.

"Hehe, young lady, you're not the type to believe in fate. I don't think it's necessary for you to ask this question. Why don't you ask something you really want to know?" The old Taoist smiled faintly.

Indeed, no matter what conclusion the old Taoist priest gave, Ye Liuyun did not believe it, because she only believed in herself. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the old Taoist priest guessed what Ye Liuyun was thinking.

“That makes sense. Alright then, I won’t ask those questions anymore. Senior, just tell me what I want to know right now.” Ye Liuyun threw the question to the old man.

The old man shook his head again before answering.

“Since you are looking for someone, you can leave this city and head north for 50 li to find the place you are looking for. As for your curiosity about this Holy Spirit State, I can only say that these people in the Immortal Realm do not understand what the Immortal Path is. They are just starting a new cycle of reincarnation. Only those who truly understand the Immortal Path can be called immortals.”

After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun put down a large bag of immortal crystals.

"Are these immortal crystals enough?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The old Taoist priest put the money away without even looking at it.

"Welcome to come again next time," the old Taoist priest chuckled.

Ye Liuyun found the old Taoist priest quite strange, so she turned around and left the city. However, as she walked, she suddenly turned back and returned to the stall. Unfortunately, the old Taoist priest in front of the stall had changed and was no longer the same old Taoist priest.

Ye Liuyun's lips twitched slightly when he saw this scene.

"Damn, which big shot is so bored?" Ye Liuyun muttered before turning to leave.

"No, no, no, young lady, this is not called being bored. This is called 'destined to meet even if we are a thousand miles apart, and not to meet even if we are face to face.'" As soon as Ye Liuyun turned her head, the old Taoist priest's voice rang in her ears again.

Ye Liuyun quickly turned to look at the old Taoist's stall, and found that the old Taoist had reappeared at some point.

"Senior, can you please stop playing around? Who are you?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but want to complain.

But before he had taken more than a few steps, the old Taoist priest had vanished.

"You? You're messing with me, aren't you? Let me tell you, I don't care who you are, people who mess with me usually don't have a good ending." Ye Liuyun turned around and left angrily.

But as soon as they stepped out of the city gate, the voice came again.

"Young man, don't be so impetuous. It's not good to be too hot-tempered. You should learn to treat everything with a calm mind. My appearance means that I was destined to appear." The old Taoist priest stood at the city gate and said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun ignored him and left.

"Oh, you're already angry? How boring." The old Taoist priest disappeared again.

Ye Liuyun took to the air and flew in the direction the old Taoist priest had indicated. Although the old man made her very uncomfortable, and she felt like she was being teased, she knew that he was no ordinary person and that what he said was mostly correct.

After flying for a while, Ye Liuyun heard another cry for help.

"Fellow Daoist ahead, could you lend me a hand?"

It was a woman's voice. Ye Liuyun quickly looked behind him and saw an injured female immortal in white being chased by several disciples of a certain sect.

Ye Liuyun is a kind and generous person. If he encounters something like this, he will definitely help if he can.

Ye Liuyun stopped, and the female immortal quickly flew behind him and hid.

"Little girl, don't meddle in other people's business. This woman is a traitorous disciple of our Celestial Immortal Sect. We are ordered to capture her and bring her back," a mid-grade white-robed Celestial Immortal leader sneered.

The celestial maiden hiding behind Ye Liuyun immediately retorted a few times.

"Bullshit, I was tricked into joining this so-called Celestial Immortal Cult by you guys."

Ye Liuyun glanced at the female celestial being behind him. This female celestial being was very beautiful and was considered a very distinctive female celestial being among the female immortals in the immortal realm.

"I'm very angry right now. I'm giving you one chance: turn around and get lost right now, or you'll get a beating," Ye Liuyun warned threateningly, arms crossed.

Upon hearing this, the celestial beings who came to arrest people immediately wanted to say something, but then a golden brick appeared in front of them, covering them completely. Before they could even utter their words, they were knocked unconscious and fell from the sky.

"Tch! I already told you, I gave you a chance, why didn't you cherish it?" Ye Liuyun said, rolling his eyes.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and smiled at the celestial woman.

"Okay, it's alright now, you're safe."

After saying that, Ye Liuyun left.

But after flying for a while, the celestial maiden suddenly caught up with them.

"Hey, sister, don't rush off. I haven't thanked you yet. My name is Ye Chu. Thank you for saving me." The celestial woman introduced herself and thanked Ye Liuyun for his rescue.

Ye Liuyun nodded indifferently.

"It was just a small favor."

"Hey, sister, where are you headed? Can I travel with you for a while? I'm afraid the Celestial Immortal Sect people will catch up again," Ye Chu said shamelessly.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then nodded indifferently.

“Alright, I’m going to a place called the Holy Mark Cult. If you want to come along for a while, then go ahead,” Ye Liuyun replied.

Ye Chu expressed her gratitude again, but Ye Chu was a bit too talkative, a bit too familiar and a chatterbox. If this were in the Eastern Heaven Realm, Ye Liuyun would also be willing to talk more with her, but in the Central Heaven Realm, she was unfamiliar with the place and didn't want to talk too much with someone she didn't know, lest something go wrong.
