100: Isn't it said that only those born with a Daoist physique can enter?

Inside the Star Plucking Palace, an ancient bronze sarcophagus stood quietly.

However, to everyone's astonishment, a woman of breathtaking beauty, capable of toppling nations, sat atop the sarcophagus. She resembled a Fairy descended to the mortal realm, her entire being enveloped in a faint pink mist, making her appear dreamlike and ethereal, as if she were in a celestial paradise.

Even more striking were her eyes, like two dazzling gems, shimmering with an enchanting pink glow, akin to burning fires of desire, easily captivating the soul.

Most captivating of all were the nine enormous fox tails behind the woman, swaying gently like nimble flames, exuding an indescribable charm and majesty.

Without a doubt, the person before them was the legendary Empress of Great Shang, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!

When Shen Xuansheng first saw this woman, the familiar name, Su Daji, immediately surfaced in his mind. Faced with such a stunning and moving presence, he couldn't help but be shocked and captivated.

Just then, Su Daji's pink eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise. Her gaze fell directly on Shen Xuansheng, and she spoke, "Oh? I didn't expect a Junior of later generations like you to know this Empress's name?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a celestial melody, yet it contained an invisible pressure that made one dare not show the slightest disrespect.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuansheng's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment.

Could he have actually guessed correctly? How was that possible!

He pondered silently, but before he could fully recover, he saw the woman suddenly flick one of her massive tails. It swept towards the crowd like a gale, carrying an unparalleled Aura, directly assailing everyone.

In the blink of an eye, they were sent flying backward, like kites with broken strings.

"Listen, Juniors, if you wish to enter the main palace, you must first pass through this Empress's Nine-Tailed Illusion Realm. Only by successfully breaking through this realm can you enter."

The woman said coldly, her voice clear and pleasant, yet tinged with a hint of chill.

Before her words finished, she lightly waved her sleeve. In an instant, countless pink rays of light burst forth from her body, rapidly spreading out, and in the blink of an eye, completely enveloped Shen Xuansheng and the others.

At this moment, Shen Xuansheng looked around and found himself seemingly immersed in a boundless pink ocean. Everywhere his eyes could see was occupied by this strange and captivating color.

The previously clear scenery now became blurred and indistinct; everything appeared dreamlike, hazy, and disorienting.

"That damn Sima Wangquan, the intelligence he provided me was so unreliable!" Shen Xuansheng gritted his teeth and cursed silently, then plopped down on the ground.

At the same time, the Life-Slaying Sword he held tightly in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling Sword Qi. Sword Qi crisscrossed on the blade, like a dense net, shooting out in all directions, attempting to tear apart this peculiar space composed of pink Qi.

However, to their surprise, although the Sword Qi was astonishingly powerful, it only tore open a brief rift. After a fleeting moment, the pink mist re-converged, once again tightly enveloping them.

"Old Shen, this pink Qi is strange. If you go in, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you," the Life-Slaying Sword said.

Shen Xuansheng slowly shook his head and softly said, "That's not a big deal. What I'm thinking about right now is something else. Sima Wangquan previously told me that those who aren't Innate Dao Bodies simply couldn't enter this place, but now it seems that's not the case. Among the people we've encountered, only Sima Wangquan, Xue Wujian, Bei Mingxue, and Qing Youyou are Innate Dao Bodies, besides that person from the Gong Family."

He paused, then continued, "However, the rest of those people are clearly not Innate Dao Bodies, yet they were also able to enter here smoothly."

The Life-Slaying Sword beside him heard this and asked curiously, "Since even you, who are not an Innate Dao Body, can still come here, perhaps those other people also possess some unique methods?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuansheng's expression suddenly became serious. He frowned tightly, pondered for a moment, then replied, "That may be true, but the situation is probably far from that simple. The reason I could enter this place is entirely due to the seven-colored divine lotus; but looking at these people, their Dao Bodies show no abnormalities or special qualities..." He paused slightly here, seeming to hesitate to speak further.

Just as Shen Xuansheng was about to continue, his gaze inadvertently caught sight of the pink smoke ahead, and the words on the tip of his tongue were ultimately swallowed back.

"Forget it. Once we enter the main palace, everything will be clear. In any case, if he really dares to scheme against me this time, I won't let him off," Shen Xuansheng said coldly.

The Life-Slaying Sword directly said, "If that's the case, we'll seize Sima Wangquan's Golden Slaughter Dao Body Origin essence to perfect your Seven-Colored Dao Body a bit."

"Once my suspicions are confirmed, if Sima Wangquan really did trick me, then I don't mind seizing his Origin essence!" Shen Xuansheng snorted coldly.

With that said.

Shen Xuansheng directly stepped into the pink world.

Meanwhile, outside.

At this moment.

Others had indeed entered the Illusion Realm, but in the Star Plucking Palace, several still remained in place.

"Innate Dao Bodies."

"You can now enter the main palace. As for whether you can obtain the innate supreme treasure, that depends on your individual abilities," the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said faintly, looking at them.

The pink Qi erupted, condensing into a teleportation array in the Star Plucking Palace.

Upon seeing the appearance of the teleportation array, Xue Wujian and the others revealed a token in their hands. Holding the tokens, they stepped into the teleportation array.

After they entered, another person holding a token flew into it alone. An incense stick's time later, Sima Wangquan, disheveled and with unstable Aura, also walked in with a token.

"Brother Shen, you can't blame me for this!"

Sima Wangquan stood in the teleportation array, his body disappearing.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox quietly lay on the bronze sarcophagus: "Seven-Colored Dao Body."

"Little child, your coming here is simply tailor-made for you. If you can truly emerge from the illusion, this Empress doesn't mind helping you perfect your Dao Body."

"Still missing five Dao Body Origin Essences, this Empress is truly looking forward to it."

Within the Illusion Realm.

After Shen Xuansheng stepped into the pink world, the scene before him drastically changed again. There was no trace of pink; instead, it was a massive Demonic Abyss!

"Illusions arise from the heart."

Shen Xuansheng looked at the Demonic Abyss before him: "Is my heart really that dark?"

"Empress, you are clearly slandering me intentionally!"

Shen Xuansheng summoned the ten thousand souls banner. The various fierce souls in the Demonic Abyss, just as they rushed towards Shen Xuansheng, were swallowed by the ten thousand souls banner.
