Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

The cultivation of the five elders of the Chai family is truly amazing, but their performance in the recent battle with the expert named Nan Buyi has made Su Yun somewhat doubtful.

The cultivation of these five elders is extraordinary, but their combat power is not much better than that of Han Jun from Yuanshuo or Qin Wuling, and in some aspects, they are even inferior.

However, the immortal bodies of the Chai family are truly enviable. Nan Buyi's fire dragon divine ability is extraordinary, but it didn't cause much harm when it passed through one of the elders.

.

"These five elders are strong in magical powers and divine abilities, but there isn't much to admire in their combat skills," Su Yun thought to himself. "The Confucian sage Mencius said that one is born in distress and dies in peace. The Chai family has ruled the Emperor's Cave for too long, without a real enemy, so there is naturally no occasion for life and death battles, and no way to improve their combat skills. If we leave, these five elders probably won't be able to stop us."

Su Yun and Lou Ban are both practical fighters. Their divine abilities may not be as exquisite as those of the Chai family, but their combat experience far surpasses them.

Lou Ban stepped out of the painting boat and had a conversation with the beautiful woman Chai Xirong, then he greeted the four elders who came to welcome him, and went towards Ying An.

Su Yun frowned slightly and had to follow him into Ying An.

"It seems that the old man has some amorous feelings."

Ying Ying nibbled on her pen and hesitated, "Su Scholar, the old man's appearance of being lustful, should I record it as well?"

Su Yun was displeased: "Of course not! The old man is spiritual, and the spirit is mental. It is already fixed, and without a physical body, how could he be lustful? The spirit does not have lust, which can only mean that the old man was a lustful person in his lifetime, and it has been imprinted on his spirit, so the spirit has such an expression... Wait a minute!"

He suddenly remembered something and said alertly, "Ying Ying, isn't what you're recording a bit too broad? The notes you record with the Ge Wu pen will be collected by the Book Collection Realm for future generations to read. You can't record all sorts of random things."

Su Yun was suspicious, "Ying Ying, did you also record some of my bad deeds?"

"No!" Ying Ying denied categorically.

"Really? Let me see! The way you write the Ge Wu notes, no one will want to read it!"

...

Ahead, Lou Ban and the four elders of the Chai family were chatting and laughing, accompanied by the beautiful woman Chai Xirong, having a great time. Su Yun was multitasking, arguing with Ying Ying, while continuing to flatter and deceive Chai Jun and the others, asking, "Who is Nan Buyi?"

Chai Jun, Chai Shang, and others all looked a bit unsightly. Chai Rouyi said softly, "This Nan Buyi is also a lowly person, who has learned some superficial divine abilities from somewhere, and has joined forces with some fugitives to plunder and harass the Chai family. Many of the Chai family's disciples have been secretly killed by him."

Chai Shang said worriedly, "Originally, he only dared to harass us outside, but now he has become even bolder, actually daring to come to Ying An."

Chai Jun was also somewhat uneasy, "I heard that not long ago, a treasure land was occupied by Nan Buyi and some lowly people, and a greatly powerful treasure was born in that treasure land, which they took away. With that treasure in his hands, the strength of that scoundrel will probably increase a lot. His goal is Ying An, and this attack is probably just a test. He will definitely come again!"

Suddenly, a voice came, "Ying An is a supreme holy land, the residence of the Divine Lord. If Nan Buyi attacks again, he will definitely not return!"

Su Yun and the others looked in the direction of the voice, and saw several young men and women on the other painting boats, all exceptionally handsome and beautiful.

More painting boats continued to enter Ying An City, and many young people from the Chai family who came to pay their respects disembarked one after another. Su Yun looked and saw that these young people were not ugly at all!

They were young and beautiful, and both men and women looked like celestial beings descending to the mortal world, transcendent and ethereal!

However, when Su Yun looked closely, he saw a slight and eerie distortion of space around these young men and women of the Chai family, indicating that they had all learned the same spatial distortion technique to make themselves look more attractive.

Sometimes, when two young people from the Chai family walked too close, their respective spatial distortion techniques would interfere with each other, occasionally causing their faces to distort and deform, so the young people of the Chai family often dared not get too close to each other.

"What do these people really look like?" Su Yun blinked. The young men and women of the Chai family were all using spatial divine abilities to make themselves look more attractive, and it seemed that they had forgotten their true appearance.

Do their parents and elders remember their true appearance?

"Obsession becomes demonic. No wonder the Emperor's Cave is attracting Wutong. The demonic nature here is probably no less than that of the Western Land!" Su Yun thought.

"In this pilgrimage convention, young talents from all over will participate, and Nan Buyi will lead the rebels to ambush the young talents of our Chai family on the way. I have received news that people from all over have encountered Nan Buyi's accomplices lying in wait."A Chai family member in purple robes said, "The seniors guarding the various cave mansions have already left seclusion and are preparing to hunt down Nan Buyi and his followers, capturing these traitorous scoundrels. Nan Buyi has no idea how powerful the immortals are. Immortals are not something that commoners can contend with by practicing a few magical techniques."

He emitted a faint divine light, handsome and extraordinary, but there were also signs of spatial distortion around his body.

At this moment, he noticed Su Yun and looked him up and down, asking in confusion, "Who is this?"

Chai Jun quickly introduced, "Senior Qingge, he is a visitor from Tian Shiyuan, Su Yun, the master of Su Pavilion. Master Su followed the living beings to cross the starry sky from Tian Shiyuan to our place."

The young man Chai Qingge raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Tian Shiyuan is extremely far from here. Even without the weight of living beings, it would take several years to fly here. Crossing the starry sky with the physical body would probably take hundreds or even thousands of years! Apart from gods and demons, no one can cross the void from Tian Shiyuan to here within their lifetime."

He looked at Su Yun and smiled, "You are either an immortal with a long lifespan, or you are a commoner from the sea, a comrade of Nan Buyi, attempting to infiltrate the city!"

The other Chai family members looked at Su Yun with suspicion.

Su Yun remained calm and said, "So, Senior Qingge, do you think I am an immortal or a comrade of Nan Buyi?"

Chai Qingge said coldly, "A comrade! You are definitely a comrade of Nan Buyi, attempting to collude with him! According to the ancient records of my Emperor's Cave Mansion, the imperial court was destroyed in a great battle long ago! Moreover, according to the divine spirit of Tian Shiyuan, Tian Shiyuan has long been destroyed, and immortals cannot possibly exist!"

Ying Ying's heart sank. The ancient divine spirit of Yuanshuo had told the divine lords of the Emperor's Cave Mansion that there were no immortals in Tian Shiyuan.

Chai Qingge also suspected that Su Yun did not come from Tian Shiyuan because the ancient records of the Emperor's Cave Mansion clearly recorded some past events that Su Yun and the others did not know about!

Su Yun smiled and said, "I see. Your ancient records should be true. The imperial court did indeed experience a great battle, but your ancient records are not entirely accurate. Although the imperial court went through the war, there were still descendants of immortals left behind. The great emperor of Tian Shiyuan is an immortal, and I am also an immortal."

Chai Qingge shook his head and said, "Whether you are an immortal or not, it's not for you to decide."

Su Yun smiled, "Who gets to decide?"

Chai Qingge pointed ahead and said in a deep voice, "To verify whether you are an immortal, whether there is immortal blood flowing in your body, you only need to walk into the immortal light to know. A true immortal will be stimulated by the immortal light, and the power of their bloodline will erupt, forming a radiant phenomenon. The purer the bloodline, the more obvious the phenomenon!"

They had already walked to the immortal light of Ying'an City. Su Yun looked up and saw that the immortal light came from the clouds in the sky above Ying'an. The clouds seemed to be connected to another world, and faintly, it seemed that the palaces of the immortals were floating in that world.

The immortal light was coming from that world.

"Is that the immortal realm?" Su Yun's heart was pounding, and he felt a bit dry in the mouth. "If I ascend from this cloud, can I enter the immortal realm?"

"If there is no immortal bloodline in your body, your physical body will be burned by the immortal light."

Chai Qingge said coldly, "The deeper you go into Ying'an, the stronger this burning sensation will become, until your physical body can no longer bear it and turns to ashes!"

Ahead, some Chai family members had already walked into the immortal light, and as the immortal light enveloped them, powerful forces were suddenly stimulated within their bodies, and their blood seemed to emit a rosy glow, permeating out!

A faint halo formed around the Chai family members, and some even had a halo behind their heads, which was quite dazzling.

"But you will also benefit. Your spiritual nature will be strengthened, which is the wonderful use of the immortal light. The divine spirits that come here will use the immortal light to temper their golden bodies."

Chai Qingge walked towards the immortal light and said lightly, "You say you are an immortal, prove it to me!"

Su Yun hesitated in his heart, but his feet took a step forward and entered the immortal light.

As soon as he entered the immortal light, he suddenly felt comfortable all over, especially his spiritual nature, which felt like it was soaking in nectar, greedily absorbing the immortal light!

His spiritual nature was already in the perfect state of the Lijuan Pearl, and at this moment, there was a faint trend of a breakthrough!

As he activated the transformation of the Honglu, integrating the spiritual and physical body, his physical body also began to absorb the energy from the immortal light, filling it up!

The immortal light did not cause any harm to his physical body. Not only did it not cause harm, but his physical body could also absorb the immortal light and continue to improve!

The eyes of the Chai family members fell on him, each with a furrowed brow.

Chai Rouyi whispered, "He is indeed not an immortal..."

There was no phenomenon caused by the immortal light on Su Yun's body. The so-called phenomenon was actually the immortal light stimulating the immortal bloodline within the immortal's body, unleashing the hidden power within the bloodline.Su Yun's physical body was formidable, but it was honed through his own cultivation step by step, not inherited. In contrast, the celestial bloodline of the Chai clan was passed down through generations!

Chai Qingge sneered, "As expected, an ally of the Southern Commoner! You've walked right into the trap and cannot escape death!"

No sooner had his words fallen than a convergence of celestial light gathered above Su Yun's head, coalescing into droplets, like dew, continuously streaming into Su Yun's body!

Chai Qingge watched with astonishment and uncertainty as the unending celestial light poured into Su Yun, yet Su Yun seemed completely unaffected by it.

His body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the power from the celestial light and refining it!

This was simply impossible!

The bodies of "commoners" were fundamentally incapable of absorbing the power within the celestial light. To celestial beings, it was a tonic, but to "commoners," it was a deadly poison that would quickly reduce their physical bodies to ash!

Chai Qingge shouted, "Regardless of whether he has a celestial body or not, he is highly suspicious. We must capture him first and ask questions later!"

Just as he was about to make his move, a surging sound erupted from within Su Yun, like a torrential flood rushing down the Yangtze River. The sound grew louder and louder, as if thousands of horses were thundering by, deafening to the ear!

"Boom!"

A sound like a dam bursting forth came from within Su Yun, and a brilliant light shone out from his body, dazzling and magnificent!

It was the celestial light from beyond the heavens, shining down and reflecting upon his blood, bones, and skin. Because his physical body had reached the level of a young celestial being, it resonated with the celestial light, causing a mutual reflection and vibration, resulting in an astonishing phenomenon!

To Chai Qingge and the other descendants of the Chai clan, the light seemed to form a vast and indistinct silhouette of a celestial being behind Su Yun, with a halo forming behind the celestial being's head!

Chai Qingge was dumbstruck, having never seen such a pure celestial body before!

Ahead, the four elders of the Chai family turned to look and couldn't help but be wide-eyed. The beautiful woman, Chai Xirong, exclaimed in disbelief, "Could this be the descendant of the first generation of celestial beings?"
