Immortality Starts With Investment

Su Yuxuan retreated and stopped competing.

Yan Ruyu raised her brows slightly, a trace of surprise flashing across her face. She soon stopped caring about it.

The jade disk formed from seven-colored divine light slowly activated, drawing out the power of new life from the immortal corpse.

That faint green aura slowly rose. A hint of a smile had just appeared on Yan Ruyu’s peerlessly beautiful face when her expression changed drastically.

The entire grand formation froze, as if time itself had stopped at this moment.

A terrifying aura surged upward.

Yan Ruyu’s entire body turned cold, as though she were being stared at by a monstrous beast. Her vigilance shot to the extreme.

In the next instant, the Heavenly Human Clan immortal corpse’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. They stared fixedly at Yan Ruyu.

For a moment, Yan Ruyu felt as if her heart would leap out of her chest. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold.

The immortal corpse had actually awakened!!! The power of new life had not yet suppressed the death qi. Why had the immortal corpse awakened ahead of time?

Before Yan Ruyu could figure it out, a beam of tribulation light surged from the immortal corpse’s emotionless eyes and shot straight toward her.

The terrifying power felt like heavenly punishment. Seven-colored divine light gathered around Yan Ruyu, forming an umbrella in front of her.

Yet the moment it touched the tribulation light, the umbrella exploded. The tribulation light pierced directly through Yan Ruyu’s shoulder. The horrific wound and the attached death qi caused her face to change dramatically.

Immediately afterward, another beam of tribulation light shot from the immortal corpse’s eyes, heading straight for the center of Yan Ruyu’s brows.

It carried endless death qi. If it pierced through, Yan Ruyu would undoubtedly die.

At this moment, Yan Ruyu no longer held anything back. Eight-colored divine light surged and transformed into a flower petal, blocking the space before her brow.

The tribulation light was unstoppable. It slammed into the petal and drove straight into its core. The petal exploded instantly, but it took the tribulation light with it.

The terrifying aftershock still sent Yan Ruyu flying, but she had ultimately blocked the attack.

At that moment, the thought of retreating rose in Yan Ruyu’s mind. Although she was still only a Great Emperor, ever since condensing the eight-colored tail feathers, her combat strength was no weaker than most quasi-immortals.

Yet she could not even withstand a single glance from the opponent. The opponent’s combat power definitely far exceeded the quasi-immortal level. She was no match at all.

Seeing that the immortal corpse remained lying there and had not attacked again, looking somewhat dazed as if it had just woken from a long sleep, Yan Ruyu immediately began to retreat, slowly approaching the edge of the formation.

Her gaze swept toward where Su Yuxuan had been earlier. She planned to bring the other party along when she left, for Ye Chen’s sake.

However, the moment her eyes landed there, her pupils shrank. The black-skirted Su Yuxuan, barefoot with bells on her ankles, had already slipped to the edge of the formation at some point and was preparing to leave…

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Yan Ruyu’s expression stiffened slightly. The woman had probably been ready to run the moment the immortal corpse opened its eyes. Her sense of danger was truly sharp.

Since the other party had the means to escape, Yan Ruyu no longer bothered with her. She turned and struck out with divine light, primarily using black light, intending to leave the same way she had entered.

However, the formation only rippled slightly without forming any opening. There was a problem with this grand formation.

With the immortal corpse’s awakening, the formation seemed to have awakened as well. Escaping had become difficult.

After reaching this conclusion, Yan Ruyu’s expression changed again as she looked toward Su Yuxuan. She discovered that Su Yuxuan had also failed to leave.

At the same time, Su Yuxuan stopped trying to escape. Instead, she took out an array disk and slammed it down. A terrifying quasi-immortal defensive formation instantly rose up.

Yan Ruyu was startled. A quasi-immortal defensive formation activated directly from an array disk. This was far more precious and rare than ordinary quasi-immortal formations. Even she did not possess one.

Did the Nether God Holy Land value their Nether Maiden so highly?

But after glancing at the still-dazed immortal corpse, Yan Ruyu shook her head. A quasi-immortal formation would likely struggle to block the opponent.

However, in the next moment, Su Yuxuan’s small hands kept moving. She took out eight successive Extreme Dao weapons in a row.

Yan Ruyu’s small mouth opened slightly. For the first time, she lost her composure. There was armor resembling a Black Tortoise turtle. There was a shield. There was a small cauldron, a jade tree… All eight were defensive-type Extreme Dao weapons.

Most importantly, all these Extreme Dao Weapons radiated the peak power of the Extreme Dao.

Eight supreme Extreme Dao Weapons—how was that even possible?

Supreme Extreme Dao Weapons were rare even for Holy Lands. Even the top Holy Lands would be lucky to possess one or two. Yet Su Yuxuan had taken out eight of them at once.

Watching Su Yuxuan arrange the eight supreme Extreme Dao Weapons inside the quasi-immortal formation according to the Eight Trigrams pattern, Yan Ruyu immediately understood. These were definitely not given to Su Yuxuan by the Nether God Holy Land. They had come from the Heavenly Emperor’s heir.

This realization made Yan Ruyu even more shocked. After all, among all of Ye Chen’s female companions, Su Yuxuan was not particularly outstanding. In the eyes of the outside world, the one Ye Chen favored most was Yi Qingwu of the Heavenly Intent Holy Land.

Next came people like Yan Qingcheng. Su Yuxuan should have been near the bottom of the list. Yet even she had received such lavish equipment. What about Yi Qingwu and the others? Just how much had the Heavenly Emperor’s heir given them?

In this moment, Yan Ruyu gained a new understanding of Ye Chen’s wealth and his generosity toward his female companions.

Looking at the quasi-immortal formation that appeared impregnable under the support of the eight supreme Extreme Dao Weapons, Yan Ruyu almost felt the urge to ask if she could hide inside it as well.

…

On Su Yuxuan’s side, after finishing her preparations and gaining a sense of security, she took out a jade pendant. The pendant was only half a piece, carved with dragons and phoenixes.

Without hesitation, Su Yuxuan crushed it. In an instant, a peculiar fluctuation drifted out from her hand. It ignored all the grand formations and the eerie aura of the Land of Fallen Immortals, floating far away.

After doing all this, Su Yuxuan finally relaxed completely. This item had also been given to her by Senior Brother. As long as she was within the world of cultivation, no matter where she was, crushing the jade pendant would allow Senior Brother to know immediately and come to her rescue.

With Senior Brother around, she was not worried even if the immortal corpse had opened its eyes. Even if a True Immortal emerged, Su Yuxuan believed Senior Brother could handle it. People on the outside kept guessing whether Senior Brother could defeat this person or that person. Recently, they were even discussing whether he could defeat the Eight-Crowned King.

Su Yuxuan found it amusing every time she heard it. No one understood Senior Brother’s ability to hide his trump cards better than she did. She felt that the strength Senior Brother had shown to the outside world so far was probably only fifty percent of his true capability.

Senior Brother had long been invincible. It was just that her master was too stubborn, always saying that a woman should rely on herself. She repeated every day that relying on a mountain would eventually cause it to collapse, relying on water would eventually cause it to dry up, and relying on people would eventually cause them to die. But Su Yuxuan believed that Senior Brother would always be someone she could rely on.

In short, after summoning Senior Brother, Su Yuxuan was no longer anxious at all. She glanced at the immortal corpse. The green aura on it was slowly growing stronger, and the immortal corpse had already sat up from the coffin.

Looking at the perfect figure beneath the tattered golden armor, Su Yuxuan nodded appreciatively. It was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, though a bit small.

But in the next moment, Su Yuxuan’s expression changed. With Senior Brother’s style of doing things… Would he take this immortal corpse as one of his female companions?

Logically speaking, a normal person would not. But with Senior Brother… it was hard to say…
