51: Chapter 51 First Arrival in the Immortal Realm, Giant Stone City

Cao Yang and the others felt bored after watching the scenery of the Void Realm for so long.

Most of the women returned to their chosen rooms to rest, with only a few remaining outside to enjoy the view. Cao Yang, meanwhile, visited each room in turn to soothe the ladies' hearts, which were aching from leaving home.

Cao Yang displayed all his skills, making the women overjoyed.

Soon, five days passed. Cao Yang and the others disembarked from the spaceship. He placed the women into the Huangqing Small World, stored the ship, and flew toward the distant Immortal Realm.

From the outside, the Immortal Realm appeared tens of billions of times larger than the Tianxuan Realm. Standing before the world barrier of the Immortal Realm, Cao Yang took out a world-breaking talisman and activated it, slicing forward.

It wasn't as easy to cut open as the Tianxuan Realm's barrier. Cao Yang only managed to create a tiny crack. He continuously poured his Immortal Power into the talisman, which quickly drained ninety-nine percent of it. Feeling anxious, he saw the opening grow to the size of a washbasin and transformed into a streak of light to fly through the rift.

As soon as Cao Yang entered the rift, a bolt of lightning struck him head-on.

Cao Yang hurriedly exhausted his remaining Immortal Power to strike out a palm at the lightning. Unfortunately, his palm was easily obliterated, and the lightning struck him directly. Powerless, he plummeted toward the ground, landing amidst the sand and stones.

The lightning had been too fast; Cao Yang hadn't even had time to retreat into the spaceship to save his life, only striking out a palm instinctively.

At this moment, Cao Yang appeared within his Inner World. Indeed, his current body was the Immaculate Body.

Cao Yang could clearly see himself lying fifty thousand meters beneath the sand and stones, his entire body charred black.

His Physical Body was severely injured and completely unable to move.

Unless he abandoned his Physical Body, he could only wait for it to slowly recover by absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Power from the air.

Fortunately, the Immortal Qi in the Immortal Realm was dense, and as a possessor of the Chaotic Immortal Body, he could absorb any attribute of Immortal Qi with a high conversion rate. In less than a day, his Physical Body was halfway repaired.

By now, his Physical Body had floated to the surface of the sandy ground.

That evening at dusk, a merchant caravan passed by on a road not far from Cao Yang. A guard discovered the charred Cao Yang lying on the ground.

He reported this to the Young Miss of the caravan, who was sitting in a carriage.

"Go see if that person is still breathing," a clear voice called out from the carriage.

"Yes, Young Miss."

The guard returned quickly and reported respectfully, "Young Miss, that person still has a breath left. Should we bring him back?"

The woman in the carriage fell silent for a moment before saying, "Bring him into my carriage." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, yet it carried a hint of determination and decisiveness.

A woman in a yellow dress sitting in the carriage changed her expression upon hearing this and hurriedly tried to stop her. "Young Miss, the Family Head repeatedly warned us not to mind other people's business during this trip!" Her face was full of worry, clearly concerned about the situation.

Another maid named Xiao Mei chimed in, "Yes, Young Miss. We've already encountered so much danger on this journey. If we save this stranger, it might bring even more trouble!" Her voice betrayed a sense of unease and fear.

However, the lady smiled dismissively and comforted them, "Xiao Mei, don't worry too much. How could trouble find us so easily? Besides, we can't just watch someone die by the roadside, can we? That is not the style of our Xu Family." Her voice was clear and firm, as if imbued with endless strength.

Soon, Cao Yang was carefully carried into the carriage by several guards. When Xu Xinyue saw his charred appearance, she couldn't help but frown and said softly, "Xiao Mei, give him a few healing Medicinal Pills first, then clean and bandage him up." Her eyes were filled with concern and sympathy.

Looking at Cao Yang's wretched state, Xiao Mei felt a bit afraid but nodded and bravely replied, "Yes, Young Miss." She then stuffed several healing pills into Cao Yang's mouth and quickly took out some spiritual items like medicine and gauze to seriously clean his charred body and carefully bandage him.

After some effort, Xiao Mei finally finished the bandaging. Cao Yang had been turned into a human-shaped zongzi, his body wrapped in white bandage-like spiritual items, with only his tightly closed eyes exposed.

During this time, Xu Xinyue also tried to transfer some of her own spiritual power into Cao Yang to heal him, but it was to no effect.

Cao Yang, observing from his seat in the carriage, felt somewhat helpless. Once he was carried into the carriage, he could no longer absorb Immortal Qi as frantically as before.

One must know that when he was absorbing Immortal Qi with all his might earlier, an Immortal Qi vortex had formed on the sandy surface, nearly draining the surrounding area of its Immortal Qi.

The Young Miss mentioned by the yellow-skirted maid was a young girl in a light blue dress with skin as white as snow, beautiful and moving. Her eyes were as deep blue as the ocean, and her hair was a dark blue, cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall.

She exuded a noble and elegant temperament, with a graceful and curvaceous figure. Seeing her blue hair and blue eyes, Cao Yang guessed she probably wasn't of the pure Human Race.

"Young Miss, do you think this Young Master was injured because he failed while Undergoing Tribulation?" the yellow-skirted maid asked with a giggle.

"Most likely. His body is charred all over, clearly the marks left by a Heavenly Tribulation," Xu Xinyue said softly, her gaze sweeping over Cao Yang's body.

"I just noticed that this Young Master's Physical Body is very strong—stronger than mine, even. I wonder what kind of Heavenly Tribulation it was that could injure him so severely," Xu Xinyue wondered to herself.

One must know that she was at the Mahayana Peak Realm, only one step away from Immortal Ascension. There weren't many people who could surprise her. However, the strength of this young man's Physical Body exceeded her imagination, making her curious about him.

Soon, Cao Yang entered a city gate with the caravan. To his surprise, the city was named Giant Stone City, yet its walls were built of gray bricks. The interior was incredibly prosperous, with countless Cultivators. Within Cao Yang's Immortal Sense, there were even many Immortals, the highest being a Middle Stage True Immortal powerhouse.

Under Cao Yang's observation, the carriage entered the City Lord's Manor.

A middle-aged man in a golden-yellow robe approached with a dignified air, his steps steady and powerful. As he drew near, the carriage slowly came to a halt.

Xu Xinyue quickly stepped out of the carriage, greeted the middle-aged man with a smile, and said, "Daughter greets Father!"

Several other maids followed Xu Xinyue and knelt, shouting in unison, "Servants pay their respects to the Lord City Lord!" Their voices were full of respect.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, signaling for everyone to rise. Then, he turned to Xu Xinyue and asked with concern, "Xinyue, how was the trip? Have you reached an agreement with the Ma Family in Black City?"

One must know that the Ma Family was one of the few Heavenly Immortal Families in Black City. They possessed immense power and resources, controlling the supply channels for Immortal Pills and medicines within a fifty-million-mile radius of Black City and its surroundings.

Therefore, whether they could successfully reach an agreement with the Ma Family for the sale of these pills was of vital importance to Giant Stone City.

To ensure they could purchase more Immortal Pills at a lower price, the Xu Family had sent many precious treasures to the Ma Family. This time, they had even given the Ma Family the only Black Crystal obtained from the Giant Stone Forest as a gift.

Xu Xinyue smiled and replied, "Father, please rest assured. The manager in charge of pill sales for the Ma Family has agreed to prioritize providing this batch of Immortal Pills to our Giant Stone City." Hearing this news, the heavy stone in Xu Buli's heart finally lifted, and he sighed in relief, expressing his satisfaction.

"That's good, that's good. The effort this time wasn't in vain," Xu Buli said with emotion.

He knew well the status and influence of the Ma Family. If they hadn't sent that precious Black Crystal, it would have been difficult to receive such treatment.

Now it seemed all the effort was worth it.
