Chapter 64, Yaochi's Nine Great Foundations, Holy Might Overwhelms the Heavens!

Yaochi, a sacred place, a forbidden land of immortals.

The mist on the water was much thicker than usual.

The Queen Mother of the West stood by the celestial pool. She was not wearing a crown today; her black hair was casually tied into a bun, with a jade hairpin running through it.

Yao Jin stood behind her, and Su Ye stood beside Yao Jin.

"hell."

When the Queen Mother of the West uttered these two words, her tone was calm.

But Yao Jin's shoulders tightened slightly.

Having followed the Queen Mother of the West for many years, she knew that the calmer the Holy Mother appeared, the more raging her anger was.

"Go on."

Yao Jin reported the details of the attack on the outer perimeter of the Fire Domain.

From sending assassins at the second level of the Sendai realm from Hell to entangle her, to sending a half-step master at the first level of the Sendai realm to assassinate Su Ye.

From Su Ye triggering the heavenly tribulation to break the deadlock, to the half-step great power dying under the lightning tribulation.

After listening, the Queen Mother of the West remained silent for three breaths.

"What a hell!"

Her voice finally had a hint of warmth, a chilling coldness that cut to the bone.

"What a group of restless, powerful families!"

She turned around, and her usually cold and dignified eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, like a celestial sword drawn from its sheath.

"Do you really think I have no one else in my celestial realm?"

Yao Jin lowered her head: "Holy Lord, please calm down. Hell has dispatched two powerful combatants this time. The price of hiring assassins of this level is not small."

"No more than ten companies in the entire BeiDou system can afford this price."

The Queen Mother of the West's gaze fell on Su Ye.

"Are you hurt?"

Su Ye shook his head and said, "I am fine, but Elder Yao Jin was injured by that powerful assassin while protecting me."

Yao Jin quickly replied, "It's just a minor internal injury; I'll recover in a few days."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly, then walked deeper into the forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Pool.

"Come with me."

Her steps were slow, but with each step she took, an invisible sense of pressure filled the air.

Yao Jin and Su Ye followed behind, crossing the white jade corridor bridge by the Immortal Pool, passing through the thousand-year-old medicinal field shrouded in spiritual mist all year round, and passing through the stone wall corridor engraved with the names of sages of past dynasties.

Su Ye had never entered this area of ​​Yaochi before.

The spiritual energy here is so dense that it's almost tangible; every breath feels like swallowing a spiritual liquid.

The surrounding stone walls were inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls, which emitted a soft light and illuminated a stone staircase leading deep underground.

The stone steps are very long.

After walking for about half a cup of tea's time, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A massive underground palace came into view.

Nine white jade altars floated in mid-air, arranged in an arc.

Each altar is sealed with a massive divine source.

The surface of the divine source was covered with extremely complex sealing patterns.

The Dao patterns lit up all at once the Queen Mother of the West stepped into the underground palace, as if responding to some ancient call.

Within the divine source, one can vaguely see the sleeping figure.

They were in various postures: some sat cross-legged, some lay on their sides asleep, and some had their hands in mudras.

Their faces were shrouded in the light of the divine source, making them indistinct.

But the oppressive aura emanating from the depths of the divine source cannot be faked.

Nine Saint-level experts!

Su Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

The profound beauty of Yaochi was laid bare before him at this moment.

Even the lowest level of cultivation is a saint!

Among them were two auras at the Great Sage level.

As for whether there are any other resources besides these nine holy sites, Su Ye had no idea.

The Queen Mother of the West slowly walked to the seventh altar.

The divine source on the altar was slightly dimmer than the other eight pieces, and the flow of the sealing Dao patterns was also noticeably slower.

The Queen Mother of the West formed a hand seal and activated a secret technique.

The sealing runes of the Divine Source instantly lit up, and the light spread along the runes, enveloping the entire Divine Source in a glow.

Yao Jin pulled Su Ye back, and the two of them took three steps back at the same time.

"The Holy Lord is awakening the essence of the Holy Land—the Jade Balance Sage!"

Yao Jin lowered her voice and said, "This ancestor became a saint 23,000 years ago and sealed himself in the divine source 20,000 years ago."

"Twenty thousand years?"

Su Ye's gaze never left the cracking divine source.

The cracks began to spread from the center of the divine source.

One, two, ten, a hundred.

In the blink of an eye, countless cracks covered the entire divine source.

Then, the sun shone brightly.

It was a pure, milky-white radiance, like the first ray of light at the beginning of time, bursting forth from every crack.

The spiritual energy in the underground palace trembled before this radiance.

The nine divine platforms trembled simultaneously, and the Dao patterns on the other eight divine sources operated on their own, emitting a series of low humming sounds.

The divine source has completely cracked.

A middle-aged woman dressed in a plain white dress slowly walked out from the shattered divine source.

She looked to be in her early thirties, with a dignified and beautiful face, and a bright red cinnabar birthmark between her eyebrows.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, there was an image of stars vanishing and fading.

Despite her stunning beauty, she exuded an aura of age and vicissitude.

Yao Jin immediately bowed and said, "Yao Jin, a disciple of a later generation, greets Ancestor Yuheng!"

Su Ye also performed the disciple's salute.

The Sage Yuheng first glanced at the Queen Mother of the West, then nodded slightly as a sign of greeting.

Then her gaze passed over Yao Jin and landed on Su Ye.

"A primordial Dao embryo?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it had a power that could penetrate people's hearts.

The Queen Mother of the West rose and said respectfully, "This is a message from Patriarch Yuheng, whose name is Su Ye."

"The Jade Pool has already designated him as its Holy Son; his situation is quite special—"

She briefly recounted how Su Ye's Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation triggered the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation and the Humanoid Lightning, how he forged the Primordial Divine Mark Tower with Divine Mark Purple Gold in the Fire Domain, and how he was ambushed by two major assassins from Hell on his return journey.

The Sage of Jade Balance remained silent for a moment.

Then he suddenly chuckled softly.

"Slept for over 20,000 years —"

She looked up and gazed at the sky through the gaps in the dome of the underground palace.

"The world has forgotten the brilliance of Yaochi."

Her divine aura emanated naturally from her body, filling the air with an indescribable sense of oppression.

The Queen Mother of the West and Yao Jin remained expressionless, but Su Ye could sense that the surrounding space was slightly distorted.

"Follow me—"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Jade Balance Sage enveloped the four people in a beam of white light, and they vanished from the underground palace in the blink of an eye.

Yaochi Holy Temple.

The Sage Yuheng sat at the head of the table, while the Queen Mother of the West sat to the side.

Su Ye stood in the hall.

"Display your cultivation level and extraordinary phenomena," said the Jade Balance Sage.

Su Ye responded by circulating the Daoist scripture.

He unleashed his cultivation at the second level of the Fourth Heaven without reservation, and purple divine power formed a halo around his body.

The Daoist essence of the innate Dao embryo then spread out.

Immediately afterwards, strange phenomena appeared behind him.

The Five Elements give rise to chaos.

When the chaotic dharma form was fully formed, the Primordial Divine Mark Tower floating above his head emitted a clear Dao sound, as if responding to the call of the strange phenomenon.

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Jade Balance Sage.

She stood up, her eyes sparkling with the light of fading stars.

"good!"

The Sage Yuheng praised him, and a long-unseen excitement welled up on his dignified and beautiful face.

"A primordial Dao embryo is extremely rare, and yet you have unearthed its potential to such an extent—"

There was a hint of disbelief in her voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, your combat strength has already broken through to the seventh forbidden realm?"

Seven prohibitions.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm possesses the power of seven forbidden battles.

This means that Su Ye, at the second level of the Fourth Realm, is able to cross seven minor realms and directly confront a cultivator at the fifth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Yao Jin gasped.

A smile appeared on the lips of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Sage Yuheng turned to look at the Queen Mother of the West, his tone resolute.

"The Holy Son is certain to possess imperial qualities."

"To nurture Yaochi as the hope for this generation's imperial path, it would not be too much to exhaust all the resources of the Holy Land."

Su Ye bowed again.

"This disciple will certainly live up to the high expectations of the Holy Land."

The Sage Yuheng nodded, then asked, "Did that Hell Killer leave any clues?"

Yao Jin stepped forward and took something out of her sleeve.

It was a palm-sized fragment of a black iron token, with scorch marks from the lightning tribulation still remaining on its broken edges.

The front of the token is engraved with a blood-red character for "prison," while the back is covered with strange Taoist patterns.

"This was extracted from the remains of that half-step Great Power assassin's corpse."

Yao Jin said, "The Dao patterns on the token are extremely unique, confirming that it belongs to the inner sect assassin token of the Hell Organization."

The Jade Balance Sage took the fragment of the token and gently traced the strange Dao patterns with his fingertips.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

A female cultivator dressed in the attire of a Yaochi steward strode in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the intelligence network has sent back a message."

The Queen Mother of the West raised her hand and said, "Speak."

The female deacon took a deep breath and spoke very quickly: "According to our intelligence, the Hell Organization has at least twenty-four overt and covert strongholds in the Big Dipper."

"As for how much more is involved in secret—"

She paused, then lowered her voice.

"Nobody knows—"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The Sage Yuheng slowly rose to his feet.

Holy power surged from her body, silently permeating the entire hall.

The candlelight dimmed, and the air in the hall became as still as a piece of transparent amber.

Su Ye felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

"I have already been born."

The voice of the Sage Yuheng was as calm as a deep pool of water.

"Then the world should remember this again—"

She walked down the steps one by one.

"No one is allowed to touch the Holy Son of Yaochi!"

She walked up to the Queen Mother of the West and bowed slightly.

"My lifespan is limited. Rather than waiting to pass away in the divine source, I would rather pave the final stretch of the road for the holy land."

"Please grant me permission to go."

The Queen Mother of the West remained silent for a long time.

"allow."

The Sage Yuheng nodded.

"good."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and made a sweeping motion in the air.

The space seemed to have been sliced ​​open by an invisible blade, revealing a jet-black rift.

As the Jade Balance Sage stepped into it, the rift closed behind her without leaving a trace.

Only three people remained in the hall.

Yao Jin spoke softly, saying, "Holy Lord—"

The Queen Mother of the West waved her hand, sat down again, picked up the spiritual tea on the table, and took a sip.

Her fingers twitched slightly, and the rim of the cup lingered at her lips for a moment.

"Pass down the order."

Her voice regained its usual calmness.

"The intelligence network is operating at full capacity to coordinate with the actions of Master Yuheng."

The steward accepted the order and withdrew.

The Queen Mother of the West turned her gaze outside the palace, to the sky above the Big Dipper.

"Su Ye".

"Disciple is here."

"You shall remain in the holy land and wait."

The Queen Mother of the West put down her teacup, the bottom of which touched the sandalwood tabletop with a low, melodious sound.

"Three days————"

"Within three days, the world of BeiDou will change —"
