My Fairy Growth System-Chapter 438 - 437: Immortal Crystal Bed and Heavenly Decree Deceiver

Yu Qingtan stepped through the arched gate and, as expected, she found herself in another enormous courtyard. The most eye-catching feature was a grand hall.

With a sweep of her divine sense, Yu Qingtan found the scenery within the courtyard to be extremely pleasant; unfortunately, there were no treasures like Void Stones.

Understanding the origin of space with the help of a Void Stone required shattering it to observe the changes in the spatial forces within, but she had only used a small portion of the previous Void Stone.

The divine sense couldn’t probe the situation inside the grand hall; it was an Inferior Dao Artifact-level hall. Yu Qingtan approached, and saw three characters inscribed above the entrance: "Empty Hall."

Yu Qingtan stepped inside the hall without encountering any obstruction, and the space inside was tens of thousands of times larger than it appeared from the outside.

At the end of the grand hall, a figure in a seated position caught Yu Qingtan’s attention in an instant.

This was an old man, his face weathered by time, yet one could vaguely make out the dignity and elegance of his past. He was wearing an ancient robe that shimmered with a faint golden glow, as if containing boundless mysteries.

His eyes were tightly closed, his expression tranquil, looking as though he had fallen into a deep slumber. A mysterious force seemed to envelop him, deterring others from approaching carelessly.

Below him, there was a bed—a glittering bed that almost dazzled Yu Qingtan’s beautiful eyes.

"An Immortal Crystal Bed!" Yu Qingtan couldn’t help but swallow, recalling that in the Qianlong Abyss Secret Realm, despite her many fortuitous encounters, she only obtained just over ten Immortal Crystals, which nonetheless greatly accelerated her cultivation speed, allowing her to break through from the early stage of Divine Transformation to the mid-stage in less than two years.

And this bed was roughly made from five hundred Immortal Crystals.

"This must be Emperor Xuanyu indeed; such generosity, what a good person!" Yu Qingtan said as she looked at the old man seated on the Immortal Crystal Bed.

Yu Qingtan cautiously waited at the entrance of the grand hall for a long time, but nothing happened. There were no puppets like "Summer Lotus", "Autumn Fragrance", or "Winter Plum" as she had anticipated.

"It seems that after understanding the third level of the origin of space, there are no further tests," Yu Qingtan thought and walked forward.

She came before the remains of Emperor Xuanyu and bowed three times respectfully, then examined the body carefully with her divine sense and the Purifying Buddha Eyes.

There was no remaining soul, no cultivation techniques inscribed on the skin or even the ribs.

"Please forgive me!" Yu Qingtan apologized aloud, and then she used her spiritual power to slightly lift Emperor Xuanyu’s remains before moving the Immortal Crystal Bed into her System Space and replacing it with a stone bed, then gently placed the remains back.

"Thank you!" Yu Qingtan bowed again and then retreated.

There were no more arched gates behind this courtyard, so Yu Qingtan returned to Luo Li Island the way she came.

Afterward, Yu Qingtan chose to continue her semi-closed-door cultivation on Luo Li Island, only occasionally showing her face at the Wendao Sect to check on the development of the Tan Immortal Fan Club.

During this time, the Southeast Region was relatively peaceful; the Demon Race in the Yunhua Mountain Range refrained from causing trouble, and the Sea Clans from both the Lichuan Inner Sea and Outer Sea stayed quiet. Only Sakura Island, under Qi Rui’s rule, had turned into a domain of the demonic path. Experience new stories with novelbuddy

Although the Extreme Path Demon Sect and the Red Dust Demon Sect were called "Demon Sects," they maintained a basic order, but Sakura Island had now become akin to a purgatory on earth.

Qi Rui had controlled all Nascent Soul cultivators on Sakura Island with a soul constraint and then sealed off the island.

He cultivated an ancient True Demon’s Swallowing Demon Technique, which consumed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator every day for cultivation.

To meet his demands, he forced all cultivators on the island to practice a fast-advancing demonic cultivation technique, the Essence Qi Jue.

This cultivation technique not only had an extremely fast cultivation speed but also could absorb the essence of ordinary people to make cultivation even faster.

Although there was a possibility of being devoured by Qi Rui after becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, as long as one advanced to the Golden Core stage before being devoured, one could hold a high position and have great authority on Sakura Island and do as one pleased.

Moreover, Qi Rui had decreed that if one failed to establish their foundation by the age of sixty, they would automatically become fodder for others to cultivate their essence—after all, the essence of a cultivator was much more abundant and pure than that of an ordinary person.

As a result, the ordinary people of Sakura Island suffered, becoming the cultivation resource for Sakura Island’s wild cultivators.

Forces like the Wendao Sect were concerned that Qi Rui would go back on his word and encroach on the mainland of the Southeast Region; thus, they all kept an eye on Sakura Island. Therefore, Yu Qingtan and other high-level sect figures were well-informed about the situation on Sakura Island.

However, almost no one wanted to interfere. The rare individuals who were moved by kindness were scolded and stopped by their elders who then reminded them of the numerous crimes Sakura Island had once committed.

They were not worried about Qi Rui gaining strength and causing havoc in the Southeast Region; after all, it was impossible for someone from the Outer Realm to break through to the Void Refinement Stage. As long as they remained in the Divinity Transformation Stage, these sect powers could still handle the situation with their profound inheritance.

"This old demon might just die under divine retribution any day now," Venerable Shenfeng said to Qing Tan.

Yu Qingtan didn’t want to bother with it for the time being. Although she had a grudge against Qi Rui, she also held a grudge against Sakura Island. When she broke through to the Late Stage of Divine Transformation and Sakura Island had been nearly devastated, if Qi Rui hadn’t died from divine retribution, she wouldn’t mind sending him on his way.

...

Spring went, and autumn came; over another year passed, bringing the time to the Lichuan Calendar year 7109. Although twenty-five-year-old Yu Qingtan had not broken through to the Divine Transformation Late Stage, her strength had greatly improved.

In this year, the Hundred Flowers List and Pride of the Heavens List from the Heavenly Secret Tower were released once again. Due to her age, Yu Qingtan withdrew from the rankings of the Hundred Flowers List, but she still maintained her position at the top of the Pride of the Heavens List, and the name of Fairy Qingtan had long been renowned throughout the entire Southeast Region.

On this day, Yu Qingtan had just completed a system lottery draw in the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard.

After the system market closed, she had decided to carry out a system lottery draw every time she saved up ten million Affection Value, directly doing a hundred consecutive draws.

Because there was no system marketplace, Yu Qingtan’s motivation to earn Affection Value had somewhat decreased, as the growth wasn’t so quick, and now she had only saved up ten million.

This time, the lottery draw yielded two good items.

One was a Fifth Stage Formation Dao inheritance.

Although Yu Qingtan was already a Fourth Stage Peak Array Master and also practiced Void Condensing Formation, she lacked a Fifth Stage Formation Dao inheritance, which neither Wendao Sect, nor All-World Academy Southeast Branch, nor the Eastern Region Branch possessed.

The Ten Extremes Protective Array, the Wendao Sect’s Fifth Stage Sect Protection Array, was laid by the founder of the Wendao Sect, and only the Great Mist Mountain Huang Family in the Southeast Region had a Fifth Stage Formation Dao inheritance, which is why Mingjing Venerable could become the number one Array Master.

However, All-World Academy Southeast Branch did have a Fifth Stage Talisman Dao inheritance. Yu Qingtan obtained this inheritance in exchange for offering a single lecture, and she received guidance from the top Talisman Master in the Southeast Region, Manyu Venerable.

Additionally, Fu Nian had become Manyu Venerable’s personal disciple. The Fifth Stage Talisman Dao inheritance he received from the Divine Talisman Venerable was a personal inheritance and, unfortunately, was not something he could share with Yu Qingtan.

However, breaking through to the Fifth Stage in both Formation Dao and Talisman Dao was not easy. Yu Qingtan had had the Fifth Stage Talisman Dao inheritance for over a year and still had not become a Fifth Stage Talisman Master.

The other item was the Heavenly Decree Deceiver, mainly for dealing with divine retribution and heavenly punishment, with three opportunities to use it.

For instance, violating a Soul Oath Contract might invoke heavenly punishment, or carrying too heavy karmic debts might bring divine retribution, but using the Heavenly Decree Deceiver could protect one from these dangers.
