684: Chapter 684 The Method for Demons to Become Immortals

"Making friends?!"

"You're giving away a High Grade Fifth-Rank exotic Yao Beast just to make friends?"

Queen of Merfolk felt that this Liu Xuan was incredibly insincere; he wasn't direct at all. Why couldn't he just state his purpose? What was the point of dilly-dallying!

With this thought, her expression grew even colder. She waved her hand, using her demon power to snatch Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng and toss him into the center of the great hall. She wanted to see if Liu Xuan would leave with him immediately.

"Dad!"

"Dad~"

"You've finally come!"

The Fourth Young Master scrambled up from the ground, crying and rushing forward, but was blocked three meters away by Liu Xuan's magical power barrier.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for showing mercy!" Liu Xuan bowed to Queen of Merfolk once more, then tossed her a Jade Slip and a communication talisman. "This is a small gift I prepared in advance; consider it included. Perhaps we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Having said that, Liu Xuan took the Fourth Young Master, a mirror-like spatial shimmer flashed beneath his feet, and he vanished instantly.

"He really left?"

Queen of Merfolk stared blankly at the great hall below for a moment, then asked the air, "Senior, why didn't you keep him here? This person is full of suspicious points."

"It was merely an Incarnation; there was no point in keeping it."

The ethereal voice was silent for a moment before continuing, "I cannot see through this person either; it is best not to offend him lightly."

"Even you cannot see through him?"

"How is that possible?!"

Queen of Merfolk's face showed shock. Saint Xumiao was famous for her vast knowledge and mystery, having traveled the entire Cultivation World; could even she not see through him?

"Hehe~"

The ethereal voice chuckled. "There is nothing strange about it; the Cultivation World is vast beyond compare, and I am not all-knowing."

"I have never seen that spatial Divine Ability of his before. Even though the magical power he used was extremely weak, he was able to ignore the barriers of the Formation. It is truly profound!"

"Moreover, although he did not show any abnormalities, I feel that he likely sensed my presence."

"Right!" A semi-transparent hand condensed in the air and reached out in front of Queen of Merfolk. "Let me see that Jade Slip."

"Here!" Queen of Merfolk handed over both the Jade Slip and the communication talisman that Liu Xuan had left behind.

"A Yao Race Cultivation Technique?"

Saint Xumiao's Divine Sense probed into it to examine it. A moment later, the air opposite Queen of Merfolk vibrated violently, revealing a woman whose entire body was as warm and smooth as jade. She exclaimed, "The True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture—this is a method for Immortal Ascension!"

"A method for Immortal Ascension? Senior, you must be joking!" While Queen of Merfolk's words expressed disbelief, her eyes grew excited.

Saint Xumiao had always been calm and composed; Queen of Merfolk had never seen her so startled.

"It is not only a method for Immortal Ascension, but also a Yao Race Cultivation Technique that is extremely compatible with water-attributed Yao Race like us." As Saint Xumiao spoke, she returned the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip to Queen of Merfolk.

Queen of Merfolk hurriedly probed it with her Divine Sense to examine it. A moment later, she frowned and said, "Only the Fourth-Rank portion?"

"Could you be mistaken, Senior? The conception of this True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture is indeed lofty and substantial, but after all, it lacks the subsequent parts. Perhaps it is all just a fantasy, and a complete Cultivation Technique does not exist at all."

How could a Yao Race Immortal Ascension Cultivation Technique be so easily obtained? If the person opposite her weren't Saint Xumiao, Queen of Merfolk would have inevitably cursed her for wishful thinking.

Speaking of Yao Race Cultivation Techniques, before the ancient era, there was no such thing as Yao Race Cultivation Techniques; the Yao Race relied entirely on Bloodline Legacy and Acquired Opportunity to comprehend the Dao.

After the rise of the ancient Human Race, Human Race Cultivation Techniques flourished, and some predecessors of the Yao Race with peerless Comprehension Ability slowly learned Human Race Cultivation Techniques to create some that were suitable for Yao Race cultivation.

The benefit of practicing Yao Race Cultivation Techniques is the ability to break through Bloodline limitations, while the drawback is that it requires extremely high Comprehension Ability and consumes more resources.

In the long history of the Cangwu Realm, only one Long Whale Yao Immortal had ascended since the ancient Ascension. That is to say, there was only one that could truly be called a method for Immortal Ascension; others were at most theoretical and had never succeeded.

Queen of Merfolk was skeptical about whether the Long Whale Palace even possessed a complete Immortal Ascension method, let alone such a fragmentary one.

"You do not understand!" Saint Xumiao slowly shook her head. "You have not truly practiced many Yao Race Cultivation Techniques, so you do not understand how high its Realm truly is!"

Saint Xumiao looked at the Jade Slip in Queen of Merfolk's hand, her jade-colored eyes full of longing and amazement. "If you can thoroughly comprehend the Fourth-Rank portion, it will also be of great benefit to your future cultivation."

"This Cultivation Technique likely originated from before the ancient era, or it is not an object of the Cangwu Realm. This Liu Xuan... is not simple!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Queen of Merfolk gripped the Jade Slip in her hand tightly, a hint of excitement showing in her brows. "What does Senior think we should do?"

Saint Xumiao pondered for a moment. "The Long Whale Clan intends to attack the Joyous Union Sect; Liu Xuan's move is intended to win us over."

"Do not be in a rush. Find an Opportunity to confirm whether Liu Xuan truly has the subsequent parts of the Cultivation Technique before deciding."

Queen of Merfolk nodded, then suddenly asked, "If he has the subsequent parts of the Cultivation Technique, are we really going to make an enemy of the Long Whale Clan?"

The Long Whale Clan had four Great Saints and possessed the foundation of a Yao Immortal; just thinking about it made one feel fear.

Saint Xumiao did not answer her question; her semi-transparent body gradually became completely transparent, and only an ethereal voice drifted over, "We will talk about that when the time comes!"

Queen of Merfolk put away the Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, intending to study it thoroughly when she had free time, to see if it was really as profound as Saint Xumiao had said.

She did not have time now; there was another important matter that needed to be handled immediately.

A streak of light flashed by, and the crystal great hall was empty. Queen of Merfolk appeared in the room where Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng had previously been held.

Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng had been released, but the Three-Headed Demon Python was still here recovering from its injuries. Calculating the time, it should be about time for it to wake up.

Queen of Merfolk waited patiently for a while. After a faint sound of scales rubbing together, the Three-Headed Demon Python opened all six of its eyes simultaneously.

"Awake?"

"Your master has already given you to me; from now on, your life and death are entirely in my hands."

Queen of Merfolk intended to first make the Three-Headed Demon Python understand its situation, then slowly make it submit to her.

After it submitted, she would find a way to break the contract in its Divine Soul and make it a true member of the Merfolk race.

The higher the grade of a Yao Race Bloodline, the more arrogant it is; getting the Three-Headed Demon Python to submit would likely not be simple!

"Your subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty!"

The Three-Headed Demon Python lowered all three of its heads simultaneously, bowing to her in Queen of Merfolk's surprised gaze.

Seeing that Queen of Merfolk was unmoved, the Three-Headed Demon Python thought she was dissatisfied with it, so it opened its mouth and spat out three clusters of Essence Blood containing different attributes, which floated in mid-air.

"This is the Origin Essence Blood containing my High Grade Fifth-Rank Bloodline; Your Majesty might find it useful. Once my injuries recover, I can offer a portion of Essence Blood every year."

Queen of Merfolk did not accept its Essence Blood, but instead frowned and asked, "Did Liu Xuan tell you to do this?"

The Three-Headed Demon Python nodded. "Master told me to listen to your instructions from now on, but offering the Essence Blood was my own idea."

"Did he plant any means on you?" Queen of Merfolk asked via Divine Soul transmission.

"No!" All three heads shook simultaneously.

"Then why are you so obedient to him? You are a High Grade Fifth-Rank Bloodline, a future Yao Race Great Saint!!" Queen of Merfolk almost shouted it out.

"A Yao Race Great Saint?"

"To Master, that doesn't even count for a single hair..."

The Three-Headed Demon Python gazed into the distance, its cold, slit pupils actually carrying the devotion of a believer.
