Chapter 24, Yan Ruyu [New book, please read!]
When Su Ye came out of the Qing Shi Ji Teahouse, it was already dark.
The words of the rogue cultivators were still echoing in his mind.
The Demon Prince is about to arrive in Yan Kingdom. The six great grotto heavens almost came to blows over the immortal seedlings. A divine rainbow streaks across the outside of the desolate ancient forbidden land.
He came to a conclusion.
This prince of the demon race must be a descendant of the Azure Emperor…
A face as beautiful as jade!
Moreover, the waters of the Yan state are turning murky.
A cultivator at the Other Shore Realm might be passable among a group of rogue cultivators, but once they encounter an elder-level figure, their strength becomes insignificant.
The matter of breaking through to the Dao Palace stage cannot be delayed any longer.
Su Ye did not go to Yandu again, but instead turned towards the desolate mountains to the west.
He spread his divine sense and searched for half an hour before stopping at the mouth of a valley surrounded by cliffs on three sides.
Su Yehua spent half a day setting up a concealment formation.
Once the formation was complete, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary mountain wall from outside the valley.
He sat cross-legged in the middle of the valley, gazing inward at the sea of suffering.
Golden light shone on the Divine Bridge. Although the other shore had been reached, none of the nine transformations had been completed, and the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm could not be considered perfect.
Su Ye took out the sacred fruit from the Sea of Bitterness; it was crystal clear.
These were picked three months ago in the Forbidden Wasteland with Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
He picked five in total, but he couldn't bear to use them.
He cut off half of it, and the moment the flesh separated from the skin, a refreshing and unique fragrance burst forth.
Stimulated by this vibrant life force, the wild grass in the valley grew taller in the blink of an eye.
The remaining half was sealed and stored away using divine power.
Half a pill is enough for Su Ye to complete nine transformations in the Other Shore Realm.
The sacred fruit melted instantly upon entering his mouth, its medicinal power exploding within his abdomen, and a vast amount of life essence surged into his entire body.
Su Ye immediately activated the Nine Yang Scripture, guiding the incredibly powerful medicinal energy along his meridians throughout his body.
A colossal wave surged forth from the sea of suffering.
During the first transformation, the physical body was as if it were being crushed and reshaped by an invisible hand, and the meridians were widened by nearly 30%.
During the third transformation, his divine sense suddenly surged, and the range of his divine sense, which originally covered five miles, doubled.
During the fifth transformation, the innate Dao embryo was fully activated under the cleansing power of the medicine. The pores of the body spontaneously absorbed and exhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the whole person transformed into a small vortex of spiritual energy.
In its seventh transformation, golden light surged from the depths of the purple sea of suffering, and the World Tree sapling swayed joyfully, its golden veins on its tender leaves shining even brighter.
The moment the ninth transformation was completed, the faint barrier between the sea of suffering and the other shore completely dissolved.
The divine bridge was as stable as a mountain, and the other side shone with golden light. The secret realm of the Sea of Wheels had now truly come to a perfect end.
His lifespan increased by several decades out of thin air, and his physical body and consciousness underwent nine temperings before being reborn.
But Su Ye did not stop.
The medicinal power of the sacred fruit has been used up by less than 30%, and the remaining energy is still in the meridians of the body. If it is not guided, it will be wasted.
The threshold of the Dao Palace Secret Realm is right before us.
Su Ye took out two Purple-Veined Silver Leaf Grasses from the Sea of Bitterness.
Three hundred years of medicinal age isn't considered high, but the slight enhancement to spiritual consciousness might be crucial in breaking through a bottleneck.
He put the leaf in his mouth, and a cool, bitter taste melted on his tongue, flowing into his consciousness like a trickle, sharpening his perception even further.
The Nine Yang Scripture is operated to its fullest extent.
The divine power within the Bitter Sea gathered into a torrent, carrying the remaining medicinal power of the Sacred Fruit, and crashed fiercely towards the end of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm.
The first blow left the bottleneck unmoved; the second blow caused fine cracks to appear; and the third blow caused it to give up completely.
The innate constitution was fully activated once again.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged wildly, combining with the divine power and medicinal power of the sacred fruit within the body to form a single force that crashed into the invisible barrier.
The next moment, the bottleneck shattered.
Above the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, a phantom portal slowly appeared, radiating a scorching crimson divine light.
The portal to the first divine treasure of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the "Heart's Divine Treasure"!
The innate Dao embryo resonates autonomously.
A profound and powerful Daoist sound emanated from within him, causing the entire valley to tremble slightly.
The concealment formation operated frantically, forcibly suppressing 70% of the strange phenomena, but the remaining 30% still leaked out.
The initial roar of the Dao Palace far exceeded the scope of ordinary cultivators.
Within a radius of tens of miles, birds scattered in fright, and beasts prostrated themselves.
The portal slowly opened amidst the sounds of the Dao.
Su Ye's divine sense probed into the Divine Treasury of the Heart, and crimson divine light enveloped his entire body.
Among the five internal organs, the "heart" is the first to be lit up, and a wisp of innate fire essence is conceived and formed deep within the spirit, naturally matching the fire attribute of the "Nine Yang Classic".
Divine power surged!
The first level of the Dao Palace is complete!
At the same moment, in the low sky above the border mountains of the Yan Kingdom.
Three streaks of light flew slowly along the mountain ridgeline.
The woman in the center wore a plain white dress, her black hair casually tied up with a jade hairpin. She was without makeup, yet her beauty was almost unreal, and there was an ethereal quality in her eyes and brows.
She is a descendant of the Azure Emperor, and a princess in name only among the demon race.
A face as beautiful as jade!
Behind her followed two old women, both servants of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and behind them were four female attendants, whose cultivation levels ranged from one or two levels of the Dao Palace.
All told, she brought no more than two people with her on this trip.
Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes to look at the mountain range below, her fingertips occasionally calculating the direction.
Soon, the Tomb of the Green Emperor will be created within the territory of the Yan Kingdom.
Her ancestor, the demon emperor who swept across the Big Dipper ten thousand years ago, left her with nothing but the imperial blood that had become extremely thin within her body, and an empty title of princess.
The demon race is divided into numerous factions, including the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Demon Emperor's Palace, and various demon kings who each control their own territory.
No one would genuinely risk their entire fortune for a "princess" whose bloodline is already thin.
Only a few people behind her are truly willing to follow her.
Therefore, the Azure Emperor's weapon must be retrieved, as it is the foundation upon which she stands in the Big Dipper!
But once the news leaks out completely, it won't just be rogue cultivators who come running.
There will also be ancient aristocratic families, elders of holy lands, and factions within the demon race that wish for her to disappear; they will pounce on her like demonic beasts smelling blood.
At present, the forces that Yan Ruyu can mobilize are pitifully small.
Qin Yao was her confidante, reliable in her work, but only at the Dao Palace Realm.
Although the old women were loyal, they were too old, and their vitality had long passed its peak.
The rest of the followers were of mediocre cultivation and barely able to hold their own.
We lack manpower, source stones, elixirs, and intelligence...
As a princess of the demon race, she had to personally risk her life to obtain the resources for cultivation.
"Your Highness, the border of Yan is just ahead," Qin Yao whispered a reminder.
Just as Yan Ruyu was about to speak, an old woman in front of her suddenly stopped, her cloudy old eyes narrowing as she looked ahead.
"Your Highness, something strange is happening ahead!"
Yan Ruyu immediately stopped and opened her divine sense.
Dozens of miles away, a very peculiar breakthrough fluctuation was spreading.
It wasn't the aura of an ordinary cultivator breaking through to the Dao Palace, but rather the resonance of heaven and earth triggered by a special physique during a breakthrough. The Dao rhyme remaining in the air was astonishingly pure.
"There's a phenomenon ahead where a cultivator is breaking through a cultivation realm; it looks like a cultivator from the Dao Palace is breaking through..."
The old woman's tone became more serious as she said, "It might even be... a special constitution!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes as she softly said, "The border of Yan Kingdom... how could a rogue cultivator trigger such a breakthrough phenomenon?"
