238: Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Elixir of Reincarnation!

The Yaochi Holy Mother spoke with a faint tone, "The scenes within the South Heaven Gate are not illusions, but a scene that truly occurred a million years ago."

"That battle was known as the Sorrow of Immortals and Demons."

"An ancestor of my Yaochi Holy Land achieved Ascension to the Immortal Realm during that battle, but ultimately lost all contact; their soul lamp was extinguished, clearly perishing in that catastrophe."

Lu Yuan pressed further, "That world-destroying finger... who left it behind?"

The Yaochi Holy Mother shook her head, "It cannot be said, nor should it be spoken of. All that is known is that after that battle, the originally complete Immortal Realm was shattered, becoming the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands of today."

"Although the Heavenly Court blocked the invasion of the Demon Realm, it suffered heavy losses, and its prestige plummeted."

"The current Immortal Realm is no longer dominated by the Heavenly Court alone, but is divided among various Immortal Kings."

She gave Lu Yuan a deep look and solemnly reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are exceptionally gifted and will surely become a True Immortal in the future."

"But before you truly have the power to protect yourself, it is best not to attempt Ascension lightly."

"This Immortal Realm... is no longer the legendary Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a chill in his heart.

It seemed the waters of this Upper Realm were even deeper than imagined.

"Thank you for the reminder, Holy Mother. I have taken it to heart."

The Yaochi Holy Mother nodded, then with a wave of her hand, eight radiant fruits flew toward Lu Yuan.

"This is the promised reward—the other eight fruits from the nine marvels undying medicine. Please accept them, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Yuan did not stand on ceremony and accepted them directly.

Although he still had many in his inventory, who would complain about having more of such good things?

"Besides that..." The Yaochi Holy Mother took out a transmission jade token engraved with the Yaochi totem. "This is my personal token. If the Qingyun Dao Sect encounters danger in the future, or if Fellow Daoist Lu needs anything, you may send a message. Everyone in Yaochi will go all out to assist."

Lu Yuan took the jade token, his heart stirring.

Since the other party was being so generous, he didn't need to hold back.

"To be honest, I do indeed have one more request."

Lu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "I am in urgent need of some top-tier fetal-nourishing divine medicine. I wonder if the Holy Mother has any in stock?"

The Yaochi Holy Mother was taken aback, her gaze subconsciously sweeping over Luo Lianyi's flat abdomen.

Luo Lianyi blushed and quickly shook her head.

The Yaochi Holy Mother instantly understood that he was asking for someone else.

Although she was curious about which woman was lucky enough to be so cared for by Lu Yuan, she did not ask further.

"fetal-nourishing divine medicine, my Yaochi does indeed have some."

She turned and took several jade boxes emitting dense vitality from the treasury. "These are all top-grade fetal-nourishing divine medicines. Although not as good as the nine marvels undying medicine, they are all rare treasures in this world, and will be of great benefit to a fetus's Innate Origin."

"Thank you, Holy Mother!" Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

With these, plus the Divine Source Liquid and the nine marvels undying fruit, the starting point for the child in Qin Mengyao's womb would be incredibly high.

"However..." The Yaochi Holy Mother's tone shifted. "If we speak of the world's top-tier items for Soul-nourishing and Foundation Establishment, they would be the reincarnation immortal liquid from the Soul Clan's Heavenly Tomb."

"reincarnation immortal liquid?"

"Correct," the Yaochi Holy Mother explained. "This liquid is a supreme treasure of the Soul Clan's Heavenly Tomb, an immortal liquid born from the Reincarnation Pool. Just one drop can cleanse the Divine Soul and forge an Immaculate Soul Body, making the Soul's Innate state perfect and without flaws. If used for a fetus, they would be born with a flawless soul."

"Regrettably, that Heavenly Tomb is a Soul Clan Forbidden Ground. Outsiders cannot enter at all, unless... you can destroy the Soul Clan."

"But that Soul Clan Void Immortal Ancestor reached the Void Immortal Late Stage as early as ten thousand years ago. His strength is unfathomable; even I do not have absolute certainty of defeating him."

Hearing this, not only was there no disappointment in Lu Yuan's eyes, but a heart-palpitating sharp light flickered within them.

So what if he was at the Void Immortal Late Stage?

He was determined to obtain the reincarnation immortal liquid!

"Thank you for informing me, Holy Mother."

After bidding farewell to the Yaochi Holy Mother, Lu Yuan returned directly to the Qingyun Dao Sect.

As soon as he returned to the Sect, he took out a specially made transmission jade slip and contacted the mole he had buried deep within the Soul Clan.

"Wan Hun, I have something to ask you."

A moment later, the extremely respectful voice of the Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate came from the other end of the Jade Slip: "Master, please give your orders."

"Is there any opportunity to enter the Heavenly Tomb within the Soul Clan recently? I need the reincarnation immortal liquid inside," Lu Yuan said directly.

The Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate was silent for a moment, then said with some excitement, "Master is truly divinely prescient! Just now, the Old Ancestor handed down a decree, ordering me and my elder brother Hun Fanxian to enter the Heavenly Tomb together for training tomorrow."

"The Old Ancestor said this training will serve as the final assessment for selecting the Clan Chief."

"Whoever can first pass the interception of the ancestors' remnant souls in the Heavenly Tomb and reach the deepest Reincarnation Pool will be the winner and will receive a portion of reincarnation immortal liquid as a reward!"

"A portion of reincarnation immortal liquid?" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"However..."

The Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate's voice suddenly became somewhat hesitant. "Master, I feel that this matter is a bit fishy."

"That Hun Fanxian has always been favored by the Old Ancestor. For the Old Ancestor to suddenly give me this chance to turn things around, and in such a dangerous place like the Heavenly Tomb... I worry if this might be a death trap targeting me."

Hearing this, a cold smile curled on Lu Yuan's lips.

Although this Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate was blinded by jealousy, he had lived for many years after all; his intuition was quite accurate.

This was no fair competition; it was clearly a case of killing with a borrowed knife!

"Your feeling is correct."

"But you needn't worry. Tomorrow, I will naturally help you resolve this crisis!"

After Lu Yuan cut off contact with the Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate, he did not rush into action. Instead, he sat quietly in the Qingyun Peak Main Hall, eyes closed to rest and wait for 11 PM - 1 AM to arrive.

He had a faint premonition that tonight's System intelligence might reveal the true face behind that Soul Clan trial.

Time passed.

Finally, it was 11 PM - 1 AM.

[Ding, daily intelligence has been refreshed.]

Three new pieces of intelligence appeared before his eyes.

The first two were merely trivial matters regarding the opening of a certain Secret Realm and Sect business. Lu Yuan merely glanced over them, his gaze instantly locking onto the third piece of intelligence shimmering with purple light.

[Purple Intelligence: Today's Soul Clan Heavenly Tomb trial is actually a death trap laid out against the Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate.]

[The Soul Clan Void Immortal Ancestor, Hun Cangxuan, intends to use the special environment of the Heavenly Tomb to guide the sleeping third-generation ancestor (a remnant soul in the Void Immortal Realm) to perform a Possession of the Myriad Soul Heavenly Venerate's Physical Body, thereby allowing the Soul Clan to give birth to a second Void Immortal combatant.]

[Hun Fanxian is already aware of this and will cooperate at the critical moment.]

"Possession?"

A cold smile of "as expected" flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. "This Hun Cangxuan is truly heartless toward his own people. For the sake of so-called Family interests, he's even willing to sacrifice his own grandson."

However, since he knew the opponent's trump card was a Void Immortal remnant soul, things were actually easier to handle.

If it were a complete Void Immortal, it might take some effort.

But a mere remnant soul attempting a battle of Possession within the Sea of Consciousness... that was simply walking straight into the line of fire.
