As Chen Jiuyang was about to leave the vicinity of Emperor Burial Mountain with the three women and return to Fengcheng.
A powerful soul force struck Chen Jiuyang.
"Hmm? Is that immortal power?"
"A contingency left by the owner of this relic cave?"
Chen Jiuyang immediately reacted and shouted, "'Stand'!"
Vast immortal energy permeated, protecting him and the three women.
"Bang—"
An invisible immortal force collided.
"It's still a relic cave left by an immortal from the immortal path... how insidious."
In relic caves of the immortal path, many old monsters would store their divine souls in an item. This way, even if they died, their remnant souls would remain. They would deliberately set up a relic cave to attract exceptionally talented individuals, then possess and refine them, thus living another life.
"The target... is Zixuan, or Yihan..."
Chen Jiuyang frowned. Among Yao Zixuan, Qin Rouyu, and Qiu Yihan, Yao Zixuan possessed the Pure Yin Body, and Qiu Yihan had the Heavenly Charm Body, both special constitutions.
"However, if you want to touch my woman, you're seeking death!"
Chen Jiuyang raised his hand, and surging immortal power circulated, searching for the source of this attacking immortal force.
Within two to three breaths, he had locked onto it.
Inside the relic cave below, a book crafted from ancient jade looked exceptionally extraordinary.
Chen Jiuyang's large hand reached out, preparing to crush the ancient book.
"Immortal Venerable, spare my life!"
Suddenly.
A remnant soul's voice emerged from within, and an elder who looked like a celestial being appeared, much like the former owner of the Life-Averting Blade.
"Lingering on, yet daring to attempt possession of a descendant. A disgrace to immortals."
"Die."
Chen Jiuyang saw that this elder was a Profound Immortal, while he was a Golden Immortal. His cultivation was significantly stronger.
"Immortal Venerable, I am an immortal from the Counter-Current Society!" The elder quickly revealed his identity.
"Counter-Current Society?" Chen Jiuyang frowned, his actions pausing. "I didn't expect the Counter-Current Society to have such a plan?"
A relic cave that had existed for an unknown number of years, its owner being from the Counter-Current Society, seemed unusual.
"Your Dao fruit no longer exists, how did you preserve your consciousness and fall from the Immortal Realm to the mortal world?" Chen Jiuyang inquired.
If an immortal from the upper realm perished, their Dao fruit would fall into the Nine Nether Myriad Graves.
The elder replied, "It was the Forbidden Land that helped."
"Oh, then die." Chen Jiuyang raised his hand and grabbed, crushing the ancient book into dust. The elder's remnant soul had no time to scream before it was annihilated.
Since it was connected to the Forbidden Land, Chen Jiuyang would not show any mercy.
He killed it directly.
"Let's go..."
Chen Jiuyang waved his hand, and in the next moment, he returned to the Ping'an Bookstore in Fengcheng.
"We're returning to Ping'an Bookstore just like that..." Yao Zixuan, Qiu Yihan, and Qin Rouyu's expressions were astonished.
"Jiuyang, what is your current cultivation level?" Qin Rouyu couldn't help but ask.
"Golden Immortal," Chen Jiuyang stated truthfully.
"What? Golden Immortal?" The three women were instantly stunned.
They were currently only at the Nascent Soul stage...
Such cultivation was already not slow in the current world.
Nascent Soul, Void Returning, Dao Integration, Tribulation Transcending, Mahayana, Loose Immortal, Profound Immortal, and then Golden Immortal.
Chen Jiuyang's cultivation was so much higher than theirs; it was no exaggeration to describe it as a chasm.
Their minds felt a bit dizzy: "Jiuyang, wasn't the cultivation you revealed last time at the Dao Integration stage?"
"How can your cultivation be Golden Immortal in just a few years?"
Chen Jiuyang's previously revealed Dao Integration stage cultivation had already shaken the world.
Now he was a Golden Immortal, what did that mean? This was a true living immortal.
Even in the Heavenly Court or the Forbidden Land, he would be a powerful figure capable of guarding one side.
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "You had fortuitous encounters, and so did I."
"Since you have all reached the Nascent Soul stage, then practice the Dharma Manifestation of Heaven and Earth well, and comprehend your own laws and future Dao."
Qiu Yihan couldn't help but complain resentfully, "With your cultivation so strong, why do we sisters still have to go out and temper ourselves, enduring so much hardship."
"Since you are a Golden Immortal, can we sisters walk sideways from now on?"
"Walk sideways?" Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "As long as we don't provoke the strongest few existences, we should be able to walk sideways."
With his current lifespan of fifty-three million years, even if an Immortal King or Immortal Emperor came, he could directly sacrifice them and outlast them.
There was no problem with walking sideways in this world now.
However, he also needed to start making arrangements to make the two sides fight each other even more fiercely.
"Then you won't be in seclusion anymore?" Qin Rouyu asked.
Chen Jiuyang nodded, "Not for the time being."
The few women exchanged glances, and Yao Zixuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then we should also consider having children."
"Hahahaha," Chen Jiuyang laughed heartily, "I was just thinking the same thing."
Originally, his strength was not enough, and he worried that his children would be calculated against again. But now that he was a Golden Immortal, and controlled many authorities of the Book of Life, he no longer feared the Heavenly Court or the Forbidden Land.
It was time to have children and let his parents hold their grandchildren.
"Sister, you first," Qiu Yihan looked at Yao Zixuan, her big eyes blinking.
Yao Zixuan's cheeks immediately flushed, and she said, "Alright, then I won't be polite. Jiuyang, for the next period of time, I will live and eat with you."
"Then let's go home." Chen Jiuyang waved his hand, embracing Yao Zixuan and returning to Qingzhu Village.
Outside Qingyun Sect.
The marketplace from a few years ago was now quite substantial. People were already residing there, building houses, and it was beginning to resemble a small town.
Qingyun Sect had only a few disciples, but it had a solid foundation and Chen Jiuyang's support.
Upon returning home with Yao Zixuan, she threw herself into Chen Jiuyang's arms and shed her clothes, "Jiuyang~"
This battle lasted for several days. Both were cultivators, with astonishing stamina.
Yao Zixuan's fair skin was tinged with a faint blush, her face full of exhaustion, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Jiuyang covered her with the quilt, then began to manipulate his primordial spirit and open the Life-Extinguishing Atlas.
"It's been a while since I gave you the elimination package."
"It's time to get you moving."
"Everyone, let's start with a ten-thousand-year elimination package."
His fifty-three million years of lifespan gave Chen Jiuyang immense confidence.
Before, it was all small-scale skirmishes, like ten years, fifty years, a hundred years.
This time.
He would give you a super double portion!
"Imperial Tutor, Qiankun, Qingjue, Jiudu, Xuanxing..."
"Qin Shujian, Butcher, Cripple, Kunwu, Blind Granny..."
Chen Jiuyang locked onto over two hundred supreme existences from both sides.
"Begin... elimination..."
The World-Destroying Atlas was activated, directly using the threads of karma to begin the elimination!
...
Kunlun, Heavenly Court.
The Immortal Kings enjoyed a rare period of peace for over a year.
Suddenly.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Explosions sounded.
Anomalies appeared, and blood rained from the sky.
Immortals inexplicably perished, and then many Immortal Kings felt their primordial spirits unstable, their cultivation inexplicably regressing, and they cried out in alarm:
"Not good! The Immortal Thief has activated the Book of Life!"
