Chapter 306 The 9-day Xuannv!
Su Fan was taken aback.
"The realm of gods?"
The Blood God Cult Leader nodded.
"Yes. In ancient times, there was a place called the Realm of Gods, the place where the gods resided. Later, something happened, and the Realm of Gods disappeared."
"But that inheritance says that the realm of gods did not truly disappear, but was merely sealed away. The entrance to the seal is in a small world."
Su Fan's eyes narrowed.
Which small world?
The Blood God Cult Leader shook his head.
"I don't know. It's not written in the inheritance. But that person said that many powerful gods live in the realm of gods, and if you can find the realm of gods, you can obtain their power."
Su Fan remained silent.
He recalled the words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"These statues are scattered in three places. Sixty-four are in the outer heavens, and seventeen are in other worlds. Once all of them are found, the Chinese gods can return in their entirety."
A complete return.
In other words, the current Chinese deities are not complete.
Where did those that disappeared go?
Could it really be in the realm of gods?
Su Fan looked at the Blood God Cult Leader.
"Is everything you're saying true?"
The Blood God Cult Leader nodded frantically.
"It's true! Absolutely true!"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
Where is that legacy?
The Blood God Cult Leader pointed to the depths of the main hall.
"In...in a jade slip in a secret room."
Su Fan looked at Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun nodded and raised his hand to remove the light barrier.
The Blood God Cult Leader breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped a calamity.
But the next second, a sword flashed across his neck.
His head flew off, his eyes wide open, dying with unseeing displeasure.
Su Fan sheathed his sword.
"You've killed a billion people, and you still want to live?"
……
Chamber of Secrets.
Su Fan found the jade slip.
Upon probing with my divine sense, I found that it indeed contained a record of the inheritance of an ancient heretical cultivator.
The final part of the story mentions the divine realm.
But there were only a few words, without specifying a location.
Su Fan exited the jade slip, his brows furrowed.
"The realm of gods... if it truly exists, then are those vanished Chinese deities residing there?"
The Purple Star Emperor nodded.
"It's possible. After that great war, many gods disappeared without a trace. I always thought they had perished, but if there truly is a divine realm, they might have gone there."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun also nodded.
"I have also heard legends of the divine realm. But that was a long time ago, and no one knows where it is."
Su Fan remained silent.
He thought about it.
"Go back and ask the Primordial Celestial Venerable. He should know."
……
Beyond the heavens, the celestial ruins.
Su Fan stepped into the gray fog again and came to the ruins.
Yuanshi Tianzun remained seated on the boulder. Upon seeing Su Fan, he opened his eyes.
"Envoy of the Gods, you've arrived. What did you find?"
Su Fan recounted the events surrounding the Blood God Cult.
Finally, he asked.
"Senior, does the realm of gods truly exist?"
Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent for a long time.
Then he nodded.
"exist."
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
"Where is it?"
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head.
"have no idea."
Su Fan was taken aback.
"You don't know either?"
Yuanshi Tianzun sighed.
"I was severely injured in that great battle and fell into a deep sleep. When I awoke, the realm of gods had vanished."
"I have searched for it, but I cannot find it. It is as if it never existed."
Su Fan frowned.
"And those missing gods..."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.
"It's very possible they went to the realm of gods. But it's also possible they've already perished."
Su Fan remained silent.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him.
"Envoy of the Gods, what are your plans next?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"Continue searching for those scattered statues of gods. At the same time, inquire about news from the realm of the gods."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.
"Alright. I'll keep an eye out for you too."
He paused.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you."
Su Fan looked at him.
"What is it?"
Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand, and a beam of golden light shot towards Su Fan.
As the golden light entered his body, countless pieces of information flooded Su Fan's mind.
It's all about the God Hunters.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke.
"The God Hunters were not completely wiped out. They fled into the depths of the universe and established their own power."
"Over the years, they have been operating in the shadows, hunting down lone gods."
"You're collecting statues of gods; they're bound to notice you."
Su Fan's eyes turned cold.
"Let them do it."
Yuanshi Tianzun laughed.
"Good. I like your temper."
He paused.
"However, you should still be careful. Among the God Hunters, there are those at the fourth or even fifth level of the Dao Realm. With your current strength, you can't defeat them."
Su Fan nodded.
"Understood. I will improve my strength as soon as possible."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.
"Go then. I await your good news."
……
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan sat in the main hall, his brows furrowed.
Emperor Ziwei, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, and Emperor Gouchen sat to the side.
Houtu Niangniang, Lei Zun, and Doumu Yuanjun also came.
Everyone was looking at him.
The Ziwei Emperor spoke.
"Su Fan, what are you planning to do?"
Su Fan raised his head.
"Keep searching."
He looked at the golden light given by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"The next world is called the 'Celestial Realm.' There is a statue there that is... the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."
Houtu Niangniang was taken aback.
"The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden? That ancient female war goddess?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. In the coordinates given by the Primordial Beginning, she was the first one."
Houtu Niangniang frowned.
"The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is very powerful, no less than myself. If we can awaken her, we will have another Dao Realm expert on our side."
Su Fan nodded.
"So we have to go."
He stood up.
"We'll set off tomorrow. This time, the Goddess Houtu will come with me."
Houtu Niangniang nodded.
"it is good."
The Ziwei Emperor spoke.
"I will go too."
Su Fan shook his head.
"Senior, please stay. In case the God Hunters come, you can still guard the place."
The Ziwei Emperor thought for a moment and nodded.
"Alright."
the next day.
In front of the teleportation array.
Su Fan and Houtu Niangniang stood in front of the gate of light.
Behind him, the Ziwei Emperor, the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, the Gouchen Emperor, the Lei Zun, the Doumu Yuanjun, and others came to see him off.
Jian Wudi has also arrived.
He looked at Su Fan.
"Su Fan, be careful."
Su Fan smiled.
"Don't worry. With the Goddess Houtu here, what could possibly happen?"
He stepped into the portal of light.
……
Tiangang Realm.
It is even older than the Xuanhuang Realm.
When Su Fan stepped out of the portal, the first thing he saw was a continuous mountain range.
The mountains rise high into the clouds, their peaks covered with snow.
The air is fresh and the atmosphere is vibrant.
It's much better than the spirit world.
Houtu Niangniang nodded.
"This place is nice. The spiritual energy here is almost as good as that of the Outer Heavens."
Su Fan looked at the coordinates.
"Over there. On that highest peak."
The two took to the air and flew towards the mountain peak.
At the summit of the mountain.
There is a huge palace.
The palace was entirely white and built on the edge of a cliff, with a bottomless abyss below.
At the entrance of the palace stands a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is inscribed with four large characters: Xuan Nu Palace.
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
"The Mysterious Maiden Palace? Is someone here?"
Houtu Niangniang sensed it.
"Yes. Lots. They're all women."
The two entered the palace.
There were indeed many people in the palace.
It was all women, dressed in white, walking around the palace.
They were stunned when they saw Su Fan and Houtu Niangniang.
A woman who looked like she was in charge walked over.
She glanced at Su Fan and Houtu Niangniang, and asked warily.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
Su Fan smiled.
"They came in."
The woman's expression changed.
"The Xuan Nu Palace has a powerful protective formation; outsiders can't get in at all! Who exactly are you people?!"
Just as Su Fan was about to speak, a voice came from deep within the palace.
"Let them in."
The woman was taken aback and bowed in greeting.
"Yes."
She looked at Su Fan.
"The Palace Master invites you in."
Su Fan and Houtu Niangniang exchanged a glance and followed her inside.
Deep within the palace, in a grand hall.
A woman in white sat in the main seat.
She looked to be around thirty years old, with stunning beauty and a cool, aloof demeanor.
I can't sense his cultivation level.
At least at the Dao Realm.
Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
The master of this Xuan Nu Palace is no ordinary person.
The woman in white looked at Su Fan, then at Houtu Niangniang.
Then, she stood up, walked to Houtu Niangniang, and knelt down.
"Disciple Xuansu greets the Goddess Houtu."
Houtu Niangniang was taken aback.
"Do you know me?"
The woman in white raised her head.
"This disciple is a maidservant of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. I accompanied the Mystic Maiden to the Divine Realm years ago and saw her from afar."
Houtu Niangniang's expression changed.
"The maid of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden? That Mystic Maiden...?"
A trace of sorrow flashed in the eyes of the woman in white.
"Her Majesty... has already passed away."
The entire room fell silent.
Su Fan was stunned.
They've fallen?
Houtu Niangniang took a deep breath.
"What happened?"
The woman in white stood up and began to speak.
It turns out that after that great battle, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden led a group of gods to escape to the Heavenly Gang Realm.
They built the Xuan Nu Palace here, intending to recuperate and wait for the right opportunity.
But the God Hunters came after them.
In a fierce battle, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden fought desperately to repel the God Hunter, but she herself was also seriously injured.
Severely injured, she sealed her soul into a statue and fell into a deep sleep.
Before falling into a deep sleep, she instructed her maid, Xuan Su, to take the statue and hide on this mountain peak.
Xuan Su hid for three thousand years with the statue.
For three thousand years, she has been waiting.
Waiting for someone to awaken the Mystic Maiden.
But what she received was not the Chinese gods, but the people sent by the God Hunters.
Those people found the Xuan Nu Palace and wanted to steal the statue.
Xuan Su fought desperately, but she couldn't stop him.
At the critical moment, the statue of the Mystic Maiden burst forth with a golden light, repelling those people.
But after the golden light burst forth, the statue's aura weakened further.
Xuan Su knew that the Goddess Xuan Nu wouldn't last much longer.
She prays every day, hoping someone will come to her rescue.
Today, the day has finally arrived.
After listening, Su Fan remained silent for a long time.
He looked at Xuan Su.
Where is the statue of the Goddess of Mystery?
Xuan Su pointed to the depths of the main hall.
"In a secret room."
Su Fan walked over quickly.
Chamber of Secrets.
A white jade statue stands in the center.
The statue is three zhang tall and depicts a woman in armor, holding a long sword, looking heroic and valiant.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
Su Fan walked over and placed his hand on the statue.
Golden light surged in from the Investiture of the Gods.
Inside the statue, there was indeed a cloud of black mist.
It was even thicker than the mass on the body of the Ziwei Emperor.
Su Fan's expression turned cold.
"It's the Blood Fiend God Sealing Technique again."
When Houtu Niangniang came over and saw the black mist, her expression changed.
"Such intense resentment. The person who placed the seal must have killed at least hundreds of millions of people."
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"How long will it take?"
Houtu Niangniang sensed it.
"At least seven days."
Su Fan nodded.
"Then seven days."
He sat cross-legged, and the Investiture of the Gods unfolded above his head, with golden light continuously flowing into the statue.
The black mist and golden light clashed, producing a hissing sound.
……
Seven days.
Seven whole days.
Su Fan remained motionless, and the golden light from the Investiture of the Gods continuously poured into the statue.
The black energy was gradually eroded.
But it's very slow.
The black mist seemed to be alive, desperately resisting.
On the evening of the seventh day.
The last wisp of black energy was swallowed up by the golden light.
The statue shook violently.
A beam of golden light shot into the sky, piercing through the secret chamber, through the main hall, and straight into the clouds.
Everyone in the entire Heavenly Gang Realm saw that golden light.
A figure emerged from the golden light.
It was a woman dressed in golden armor, holding a long sword, looking heroic and valiant.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
She looked at Su Fan, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan stood up, swayed, and almost fell.
The cost of seven days is too high.
The Goddess Houtu helped him up.
Su Fan took a deep breath and looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"Greetings, Goddess Xuan Nu."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded.
She looked at the Goddess Houtu.
"Houtu, it's been a long time."
Houtu Niangniang smiled.
"Mysterious Maiden, you are still alive."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden also smiled.
"I almost died. Thanks to the God-Investiture Envoy."
She looked at Su Fan.
"Envoy of the Gods, I wish to form a contract with you. Are you willing?"
Su Fan nodded.
"I couldn't have gotten it."
A beam of golden light shot towards Su Fan.
Su Fan was startled.
Another Dao Realm expert.
Dao Realm Level Two.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's strength is comparable to that of the Purple Star Emperor.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden waved her hand.
"No need for formalities. I will follow you from now on."
She looked at Xuan Su.
"Xuan Su, you've worked so hard all these years."
Xuan Su knelt down, tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, you've finally woken up..."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden helped her up.
"Get up. From now on, follow me."
Xuan Su nodded.
"Yes."
……
Xuan Nu Palace, main hall.
Su Fan sat in the chair, recovering his depleted divine power.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden sat beside her.
The Goddess Houtu was also there.
Su Fan looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
"Your Majesty, do you know anything about the divine realm?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded.
"I know. I myself come from the realm of gods."
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
"Where is the realm of the gods?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden shook her head.
"have no idea."
Su Fan was taken aback.
"You don't know either?"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady explains.
"During that great war, the realm of gods was sealed away by a powerful being. I happened to be outside when it was sealed, so I was unable to return."
"Over the years, I have been searching for the entrance to the realm of the gods, but I have not found it."
Su Fan frowned.
"Who is that powerful being?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden remained silent for a moment.
"I don't know. But to be able to seal the entire God Realm, one must be at least at the ninth level of the Dao Realm, or even higher."
Su Fan gasped.
The ninth level of the Dao Realm?
What does that mean?
He is only at the late stage of the Saint realm, but with the help of the Immortal Execution Sword and the Investiture of the Gods, he can kill someone at the second level of the Dao Realm.
Reaching the third level of the Dao Realm is already quite strenuous.
Those who reach the fourth level of the Tao realm will surely die.
The ninth level of the Dao Realm...
Can't even think about it.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at him.
"Envoy of the Gods, you don't need to worry too much. That person is sealing the God Realm, not destroying it. This shows that He has no ill intentions towards the God Realm; He simply doesn't want the people of the God Realm to come out."
Su Fan nodded.
"How do I get in?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden shook her head.
"I don't know. Perhaps if we find enough Chinese gods and combine their power, we can forcibly break the seal."
Su Fan remained silent.
He thought about it.
"Then keep looking."
He looked at the golden light given by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"The next world is called the 'Xuanyuan Realm.' There is a statue there, that of... the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden raised an eyebrow.
"The Yellow Emperor? That guy had a fiery temper and was difficult to get along with."
Su Fan smiled.
"It's okay. I have a bad temper too."
……
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan returned half a month later.
This time, he brought two people back with him.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and her maid Xuan Su.
When Jian Wudi saw the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, his legs went weak again.
It's the second level of the Dao Realm again.
Su Fan, that kid, went out and brought one back.
If this continues, the Dao Realm of the Myriad Swords Pavilion will soon surpass that of the Primordial Chaos Realm.
Inside the main hall, the Ziwei Emperor, the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, the Gouchen Emperor, the Houtu Niangniang, the Lei Zun, and the Doumu Yuanjun all arrived.
When the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden saw them, she smiled.
"They're all here?"
The Purple Star Emperor nodded.
"Mysterious Maiden, it's been a long time."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden smiled.
"Ziwei, you're still the same as ever."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun clasped his hands together in prayer.
"Mysterious Maiden, how have you been?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded.
"Taiyi, you're still so polite."
Emperor Gouchen also greeted them.
"Mysterious Maiden, your armor is still so shiny."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden smiled.
"Gou Chen, you still have such a sharp tongue."
Everyone laughed.
Su Fan felt a warm feeling in his heart as he watched this scene.
These Chinese deities, though trapped for thousands of years, still treated each other like old friends when they met again.
He looked out the window.
Spirit world.
There are many more Chinese deities there.
We're waiting for him to come and rescue us.
Waiting for him to wake it up.
Wait for him to take them home.
……
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"Holy crap! The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden! A female war goddess!"
"Another cultivator at the second level of the Dao Realm!"
"Is the boss trying to gather all the big shots?"
"The realm of gods! All the gods of China reside in the realm of gods!"
"Go, boss! You must find the realm of gods!"
