366: Chapter 366 Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce, A Golden Immortal Tests His Skills!

In the sky, Cultivators could be seen everywhere, riding various rare birds and exotic beasts or speeding by on Flying Sword Magic Treasures.

Among these Cultivators, the weakest had a Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, Great Ascension Stage ones were seen everywhere, and there were even Void Immortal experts mixed among them.

Those rare flowers, exotic grasses, and ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines that were treated as Sect-protecting treasures in the Lower Realm were planted casually in flower beds along the roads like ordinary weeds, emitting waves of medicinal fragrance.

"This... is the Daluo Heaven?"

A flash of shock and fervor flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes.

This was the true Holy Land of cultivation! This was the stage where he could truly show his skills!

"Husband, this is the Nine Cauldrons Immortal City. It is a top-ten super commercial center in the Daluo Heaven and also the headquarters of my Jiuding Chamber of Commerce."

Fairy Shuiyue stood beside Lu Yuan, looking at the familiar and prosperous scene before her. A flash of emotion and excitement crossed her eyes, and her eyes turned slightly red. "We... have arrived. I am finally back."

Just then.

*Boom!*

A gentle yet vast and unfathomable terrifying pressure suddenly spread out from a magnificent palace in the deepest part of the Nine Cauldrons Immortal City.

This pressure held no trace of hostility, but that sense of absolute crushing power originating from the difference in life levels made all the Mahayana Stage Cultivators on the other shore immortal boat feel a moment of suffocation, their very Souls trembling slightly.

Immediately after, a hearty, resonant laugh rang out like a great bell between heaven and earth, echoing over the entire Nine Cauldrons Immortal City.

"Hahaha! Yue'er! You're finally back! Father missed you so much!"

As the voice fell.

The void ahead twisted slightly, and a middle-aged man wearing luxurious purple-gold brocade robes, with a lean face and a natural air of authority, abruptly appeared in the void less than ten feet in front of the other shore immortal boat.

He didn't use any Magic Treasures, nor did he make any movement to tear through space; it was as if he had been standing there all along, merely hiding his form until now.

There was no trace of Qi fluctuations leaking from his body, and one couldn't even feel his breathing or heartbeat.

But that temperament—standing there as if integrated with the Heavenly Dao of the entire Daluo Heaven, capable of destroying heaven and earth with a wave of his hand—manifested his insurmountable and terrifying cultivation.

Golden Immortal!

The current president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, Shui Changdong!

"Father!"

Hearing that familiar voice and seeing that face she had thought of day and night, Fairy Shuiyue could no longer maintain her reserve as a Fairy.

Her eyes reddened, tears streaming out as she turned into a streak of light and flew forward, throwing herself into Shui Changdong's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... My dear daughter, you've suffered in the Lower Realm all these years..."

Shui Changdong held his daughter tightly, gently patting her back. This Golden Immortal tycoon, who was decisive and cold-blooded in the business world, now had eyes filled with tears of love and pity.

Only he knew how much torment and pain he had endured when he made the decision to send his daughter to the Lower Realm.

He thought it might be a permanent farewell, but he never expected that his daughter would actually return by some miracle!

But as his emotions calmed slightly, his gaze fell carefully on Fairy Shuiyue, and his Divine Sense habitually probed her physical condition.

Shui Changdong's body shook violently, his pupils instantly shrinking to the size of needlepoints.

"Yue'er! Your body..."

Shui Changdong was so shocked that even his voice changed pitch.

He grabbed Fairy Shuiyue's shoulders, looking her up and down with a face full of disbelief.

"Your Three Thousand Weak Water Physique... that fatal Cold Poison backlash that accompanied your birth, penetrated your very marrow, and left even Immortal King-grade Alchemy Great Grandmasters helpless... has been completely eradicated?!"

Shui Changdong was truly shocked, even finding it a bit absurd.

For his daughter's peerless but fatal Physique, he had worried himself sick and exhausted his family fortune over the years.

He had sought out countless famous doctors in the Daluo Heaven and even swallowed his pride, spending an unimaginable price to beg a reclusive Immortal King-grade Alchemy Great Grandmaster to help.

But the conclusion was always the same: this Cold Poison was linked to the Origin of her Physique. Unless there was a legendary Creation Divine Object to cleanse her marrow and refine her bones, it could not be eradicated.

Forcing the poison out would only cause his daughter's body to explode.

This was why he had no choice but to send his daughter to the Lower Realm, where the Laws were incomplete, using the weak power of the Laws there to delay the Awakening of her Physique and prolong her life.

But what was he seeing now?

Not only was there no longer a trace of the Cold Poison's hidden danger in his daughter's body—the chronic ailment that had plagued her for years had vanished cleanly! Moreover, she had turned misfortune into a blessing, completely activating the Origin of her 'Three Thousand Weak Water Physique,' and her cultivation had even broken through from the tiny Soul Transformation she had before leaving for the Lower Realm all the way to the Middle Stage of the Profound Immortal realm!

The current Fairy Shuiyue had skin as lustrous as jade and a deep, steady aura. Her entire person was more radiant than before, exuding a naturally formed immortal charm.

"This... what exactly is going on? Who possesses such heaven-defying methods? Did you encounter some reclusive Ancient Mighty One's Legacy in the Lower Realm?" Shui Changdong's voice trembled with excitement as he hurriedly asked.

Fairy Shuiyue took half a step back from her father's embrace, an intoxicating blush rising on her cheeks.

She turned around and, with a natural and intimate gesture, took the hand of Lu Yuan, who had been standing quietly beside her, her eyes filled with pride and tenderness.

She was a bit shy, but her tone was incredibly firm as she introduced him to her father:

"Father, you've misunderstood. Yue'er didn't encounter any Ancient Mighty One's Legacy.

All of this... is thanks to my Husband's rescue."

"Husband not only used a supreme secret technique to risk his life to suck the Cold Poison out of my body, but he also used his peerless talent to help me refine the poison Qi and activate my Physique.

If Husband hadn't used his own body to help me cross over and protected me all the way through my Breakthrough, your daughter would have likely perished under that terrible Weak Water Tribulation long ago. How could I have returned alive to see you?"

"Husband?!"

Hearing this, Shui Changdong's brow furrowed deeply.

The love on his face vanished instantly, replaced by the majesty and vigilance of a superior.

His gaze was like two unsheathed peerless immortal swords, carrying scrutiny and pressure as they shot toward Lu Yuan, who stood beside his daughter and had not yet spoken.

As an extremely protective father, hearing that his precious daughter had gone to the Lower Realm and suddenly gained a husband, his first reaction was naturally rejection, scrutiny, and high vigilance.

"A person from the Lower Realm? Worthy of my, Shui Changdong's, daughter?" Shui Changdong snorted coldly in his heart. A pressure belonging to the Early Stage of a Golden Immortal, like an invisible mountain, silently yet extremely heavily pressed down toward Lu Yuan, attempting to give him a show of strength.

However.

When his substantial Golden Immortal pressure landed on Lu Yuan, and when his Divine Sense attempted to probe Lu Yuan's background—
