187: Chapter 187 The Earth Immortal's Venerable One Sees Too... Too... Nursing
Spirit Spring Space Small World.
Beneath the willow tree by the pond, on the huge and flat Taihu Stone.
"Xu Que, let me go!"
The Yaksha King's voice carried shame and anger. Her lithe body, dressed in black tight-fitting attire, twisted continuously, attempting to break free from the man's suppression beside her.
Xu Que did not use a shred of spirit energy; relying solely on his physical strength, he firmly pinned her down on the sacred red carpet.
The Yaksha King, a dignified peak Tribulation Transcendence expert and one of the three leaders of the Sea God Palace, had her cultivation suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage at this moment, leaving her with no way to unleash her heaven-defying abilities.
She could only act like a mortal woman, striking with her fists and biting with her teeth.
However, her resistance appeared so pale and powerless before Xu Que's body, which was comparable to a magic treasure.
Xu Que grinned, not fighting back, letting her vent on him.
"Are you tired of hitting yet?"
"You bastard!"
"Hehe, looks like you're not tired yet."
Xu Que increased his strength slightly, and the two bodies wrestled together on the red carpet.
Initially, the Yaksha King continued to curse angrily, her voice filled with killing intent and unwillingness.
But gradually, as the wrestling continued, her voice began to change.
The angry curses turned into suppressed gasps, and her striking fists became weak.
A strange feeling rose from the depths of her body, making her feel both unfamiliar and afraid.
Beside the Spirit Spring Pool.
High Priest Hai Ming and Empress Hai Ling sat side by side on a sofa, both of their faces flushed red.
The intermittent, changed-tone sounds coming from beneath the willow tree made their hearts race like frightened deer, thumping non-stop.
They knew it would soon be their turn.
At the thought of that rascal's methods, the two Sea Clan supremes, who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, actually felt a hint of a young girl's shyness and panic.
"It seems we cannot escape."
Empress Hai Ling smiled bitterly, her eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through the ages, filled with complexity.
High Priest Hai Ming did not speak, only tightly pursing her red lips, the blush on her beautiful cheeks spreading to her snow-white neck.
Just then, both of their bodies trembled violently.
An indescribable sense of comfort surged from their limbs and bones throughout their entire bodies.
They could clearly feel that the last trace of spirit energy within them had completely completed its transformation into immortal energy at this moment.
Their bodies roared, their primordial spirits sublimated.
A layer of crystal-clear radiance emanated from their bodies; their mortal forms faded, and their immortal bones were naturally formed.
The Earth Immortal realm—achieved!
"This... we... became immortals?"
Empress Hai Ling felt the surging power within her, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy.
"Really... we really became Earth Immortals!"
High Priest Hai Ming was also so excited that her delicate body trembled slightly.
The bottleneck that had plagued them for countless tens of thousands of years had actually been broken through so quietly!
It felt so dreamlike!
Beneath the willow tree by the pond, on the huge and flat Taihu Stone.
Xu Que, who was working hard, suddenly jolted.
He clearly felt that the entire Spirit Spring Space Small World had become unprecedentedly solid and stable at this moment.
The laws of space and time had become clearer and more perfect.
As the Lord of this world, his control over the world also skyrocketed.
He believed that one day, he would completely control this world and become an existence akin to a Creator!
"Hehe, as expected of an Earth Immortal, these benefits really came at the right time."
Xu Que was overjoyed.
In the Cultivation World, three hundred miles east of the Heavenly Roc Holy Mountain.
After Dao Master Hunyuan, fourteen terrifying immortal ascension tribulations erupted one after another in the sky.
The Dragon Emperor, Palace Master Nangong Jin, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox... one peak existence of the Cultivation World after another successfully passed their heavenly tribulations.
Although the Gate of Ascension had yet to appear, they were not disappointed; instead, they were even more excited.
They sat around that pitch-black hole, frantically absorbing the overflowing immortal spirit energy, accelerating the transformation within their bodies.
Suddenly.
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of wild laughter resounded through heaven and earth, interrupting everyone's cultivation.
Everyone opened their eyes, looking with confusion toward the source of the laughter.
It was none other than Dao Master Hunyuan of the Hunyuan Dao Palace.
"This old man... this old man has finally achieved the status of a Venerable Earth Immortal! Hahahaha!"
Dao Master Hunyuan felt the unprecedented power within his body, high-spirited, as if he were already standing at the pinnacle of the entire world.
"Congratulations, Brother Hunyuan!"
"Congratulations to Brother Hunyuan for achieving Earth Immortal status!"
Everyone offered their congratulations, though their eyes carried a hint of envy and jealousy.
Dao Master Hunyuan had become the first of the fifteen of them to truly step into the Earth Immortal realm.
Just then, the Blood River Ancestor spoke with a sinister tone.
"Brother Hunyuan, since you are already an Earth Immortal, why not try entering that black hole to see what's inside?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone's gaze focused on Dao Master Hunyuan.
The newly ascended Earth Immortal Dao Master Hunyuan had his self-confidence inflated to the extreme.
He felt that he was already an immortal, fundamentally different from mortals.
What could a mere black hole do to him?
"Very well! Let this immortal explore this path to immortality for all of you!"
Dao Master Hunyuan was heroic and daring, not taking the Blood River Ancestor's provocation to heart at all.
With a movement of his body, he turned into a streak of light, charging toward that pitch-black hole without hesitation.
The people of the Hunyuan Dao Palace felt their hearts tighten at the sight.
Dao Master, why are you so impulsive!
Sure enough, the next second.
Dao Master Hunyuan's body, which had just transformed into an Earth Immortal body, didn't even stir a ripple the moment it touched the edge of the black hole, and was completely annihilated by the terrifying destructive energy.
His body and soul were destroyed, vanishing into the eternal void.
The entire world instantly fell into dead silence.
Everyone was stunned, watching this scene in disbelief.
An Earth Immortal... was actually instantly killed?
What kind of terrifying power existed inside this black hole?
A bone-chilling cold rose in everyone's hearts.
The people who had just been envious and jealous now had only one thought in their minds.
This Dao Master Hunyuan was truly a complete fool!
Having just become an Earth Immortal and the veritable number one person in the Cultivation World, instead of enjoying the loneliness of invincibility, he had to rush to explore some black hole.
Well, look at him now; he hadn't even enjoyed it for a quarter of an hour before going to see his great-great-great-great-great... grandmother.
He was probably just hot-headed for a moment, blinded by the joy of becoming an immortal.
With this, the fifteen peak experts became fourteen.
No one dared to mention entering the black hole again; everyone honestly sat cross-legged, quietly absorbing the immortal spirit energy, and no one dared to stick their necks out again.
On the other side, Taiqing Palace.
Inside the main hall, Nangong Rou was softly persuading her younger sister.
"Yue'er, just forget him. You and him... are destined to be impossible."
Nangong Yue, also known as Xu Yue, just shook her head, tears swirling in her eyes.
Forget? How could it be possible to forget?
That younger brother she loved the most.
That boy who always cheekily followed behind her, calling out "Sister."
She missed him so much that her heart ached.
But now, worlds apart, there was no date for a reunion.
This despair was almost about to consume her.
Seeing her sister like this, Nangong Rou felt heartache, and in the end, she could only let out a soft sigh and stop the persuasion.
Just then, an elder of the Taiqing Palace walked in from outside the hall in a hurry.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, the Palace Master has sent a message for you to quickly go to the side of the black hole outside Heavenly Roc Holy Mountain to cultivate. There is immortal spirit energy there, and other forces are all rushing there."
Nangong Yue's dim, beautiful eyes suddenly burst with brilliant light when she heard the words "immortal spirit energy."
Immortal spirit energy!
Did that mean she could improve her cultivation faster?
As long as her strength was powerful enough, powerful enough to personally open the passage to the lower realm!
She could go back to find her brother herself!
Her brother had so many fortuitous encounters; he must still be alive and well!
It must be so!
"Sister, let's go quickly!"
Nangong Yue grabbed Nangong Rou's hand, her tone filled with unprecedented urgency.
Nangong Rou was taken aback, then immediately understood her sister's thoughts and nodded.
The two then followed the elder, turning into streaks of light and speeding towards the direction of Heavenly Roc Holy Mountain.
Meanwhile, inside the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The three people who had previously gone to Yunhuang Continent to take Liu Ruyan away—Yun Xi, Shangguan Lüwen, and Shangguan Hongying—also received the news.
They brought Liu Ruyan along, and together with a host of elders and disciples from the palace, they set off in a grand procession toward the black hole.
For a time, across the entire Sky Domain Continent, countless cultivators were like sharks that had smelled blood, frantically converging toward that black hole.
Spirit Spring Space Small World.
Beneath the willow tree by the pond, on the Taihu Stone.
The Yaksha King's beautiful eyes streamed with tears as she gazed powerlessly at the azure sky.
"Now, do you submit?"
Xu Que's voice rang in her ear.
The Yaksha King bit her lip tightly, stubbornly turning her head away, refusing to look at him or answer.
"Hehe, still not submitting?"
Xu Que's laughter carried a hint of evil.
"Then I'm really going to carry out that action I told you about before!"
The Yaksha King's delicate body trembled violently, and the terrifying image that made her feel ashamed and desperate instantly appeared in her mind.
She dared not imagine, if that scene really happened, how she would ever face anyone again.
Fear ultimately overcame her dignity and stubbornness.
"Xu... Hus... Husband..."
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, filled with trembling and pleading.
"I submit, this servant submits, I beg you... don't do that..."
