Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Corpse Venerable Appears on the Eighth Layer of the Divine Bridge

”What happened?”

”Why were we teleported out?”

”Could it be that someone has received the legacy of the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall?”

The millions of Cultivators floating mid-air looked befuddled. Disciples of Heaven’s Pride from the Sky-Level Sects were particularly crestfallen, regretting their missed opportunity for the elusive legacy.

BOOM!

The void reverberated with rumbling sounds and began to fluctuate intensely.

The intense red light column unexpectedly retracted from within the valley beneath, receding back into the spatial aperture before vanishing completely.

The next moment, the massive aperture in the void also slowly sealed.

”The Red Dust Fairyland trial has ended...”

An old cultivator in the Life and Death Realm shook his head gently and immediately gathered his disciples together in the void.

The old man retrieved a Mysterious Yellow Array Disk and channeled his Mana into it.

A brilliant pillar of light soared into the sky. An instant later, the void vibrated as a colossal pillar of light descended, enveloping all of them.

The colossal light column rose from the ground and vanished into the depths of the sky in the blink of an eye.

This Sky-Level Sect used reverse Void Throw to return to their own Sect.

The other major Sky-Level Sects followed suit. One radiant pillar of light after another descended from the heavens, teleporting everyone away.

After all the Sky-Level Sects had departed, the remaining Super Sects also initiated Void Throw and left the area.

Finally, the Sect Masters of the remaining large Sects summoned various flying Dharma treasures and departed with their disciples.

The Sects from the Shenfeng Dynasty also led their disciples away.

This time, every Sect participating in the trial had made significant advancements. Although there were some casualties and a few disciples perished, all disciples at the Shaping God Realm had advanced to the Divine Bridge Realm. This gain was more than enough to compensate for the losses.

「Inside the Red Dust Fairyland.」

On the plaza of the Mystical Space, the man in red sensed the vast changes within the entire Red Dust Fairyland, a hint of delight appearing on his face.

That young lady truly inherited the complete legacy of the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall.

It seems the Lord’s judgment is truly exceptional.

「Within the Blood Linglong Fairy Hall at the moment.」

Su Wanyi, controlling the Blood-coloured Small Tower, hunted down numerous Blood Demons and teleported their Inner Alchemy over.

A small, mountain-like pile of Blood Demon Inner Alchemy had accumulated before her.

Ye Yun let out a chuckle.

Su Wanyi immediately turned beet red at the Old Ancestor’s chuckle.

”Old Ancestor, wouldn’t this be considered cheating?” Su Wanyi whispered.

”It would, I suppose!” Ye Yun chuckled, then added, ”While this method of cultivation enhancement has no side effects, it does mean you’ve missed out on many life-and-death experiences. How about this: you advance to the Eighth Layer of Divine Bridge Stage, the same as Luo Li and Jun Moxiao...”

”Alright, Old Ancestor!” Su Wanyi’s face turned red as she quickly nodded in agreement.

Ye Yun transformed into a beam of white light and returned to Su Wanyi’s mind.

Su Wanyi began to absorb the Blood Demon Inner Alchemy.

She absorbed them incredibly quickly; her Super Divine Dragon Breath surged, visibly strengthening at an incredible rate.

Fifth Level of Divine Bridge Realm!

Sixth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm!

Seventh Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm!

Eighth Layer of Divine Bridge Stage!

After reaching the Eighth Layer of Divine Bridge Stage, Su Wanyi stopped absorbing the Blood Demon Inner Alchemy.

She looked at the remaining Blood Demon Inner Alchemy and stored them in her storage ring.

Now, at least my cultivation base is finally the same as my junior brother and junior sister... A hint of joy touched Su Wanyi’s exquisitely beautiful face.

For a long time, she, the eldest senior sister, had been at the bottom, which was quite awkward.

Unexpectedly, the opening of the Red Dust Fairyland this time had actually been her great opportunity.

Now, the three of them—siblings in cultivation—were at the same realm, advancing side by side. In future battles, she could finally coordinate with her junior brother and sister.

”Go to the First Level of the main hall. Someone will be waiting for you there...” the Old Ancestor’s voice echoed in her mind.

Su Wanyi quickly manipulated the Blood-coloured Small Tower. In an instant, as if stars had shifted and constellations turned, the surrounding space transformed.

She reappeared in a great hall. In its depths floated a crimson coffin, densely covered with intricate runes, exuding an extremely mysterious aura.

Could this be the person the Old Ancestor said was waiting for me? Su Wanyi stood still, the Blood-coloured Small Tower resting in her palm, silently observing the crimson coffin.

Suddenly, the coffin lid levitated. A red-robed man with a vicious appearance floated out from within.

”HAHA... Indeed, everything went according to my plan! You successfully obtained the complete legacy of Blood Linglong!”

The red-robed man laughed heartily, his voice booming, causing the surrounding space to hum.

”Who on earth are you?” Su Wanyi asked, watching the man before her with a vigilant expression.

The man was hideous, his features twisted, not resembling a normal human. A dense aura of death emanated from him, like that of an ancient corpse dead for millennia.

”I can’t quite recall my title from my previous life, but in this one, I do have a name. You may call me Lord Corpse Venerable!” the red-robed man boomed, his expression filled with immense pride.

”What exactly do you want?” Su Wanyi asked, frowning. This Corpse Venerable before her seemed extremely unhinged, giving her a strong sense of impending crisis.

However, with the Old Ancestor in her mind, Su Wanyi felt no fear.

”This body of yours, I’m planning to take it. I’m going to possess you!” the red-robed man cackled.

As he finished speaking, his body began to sway. A thick sanguineous aura, suffused with corpse qi, spilled out from him.

”Dream on! As if I’d let you possess her!” a woman’s voice suddenly echoed through the hall without warning.

Ye Yun was momentarily stunned. This voice is so familiar... It has been a hundred thousand years since I last heard it.

Connecting this to the eight words on the Stele earlier... Ye Yun instantly understood. The lingering obsession of the female cultivator within this Corpse Demon... it’s actually my confidante... Qin Yao!

As the woman’s voice faded, Su Wanyi saw one side of the red-robed man’s face contort, revealing an ethereally beautiful countenance. The two faces, one on each side, were starkly different, creating a truly hair-raising sight.

Su Wanyi gasped. She hadn’t imagined that a woman was hidden within this Corpse Demon, and this woman was clearly trying to stop Corpse Venerable.

”Damn bitch, you dare to stop me? Fine, I’ll drag you down to hell with me this time!” the red-robed man snarled, humiliated and enraged.

”Drag her down with you? You dare to bully my woman like this, and you didn’t even ask me?” a gentle voice suddenly resonated through the void.

A beam of white light shot out from between Su Wanyi’s eyebrows. In mid-air, it coalesced into a sacred, white figure.
