Feng Shenye stared at the half-golden pill, his eyes wide open. He couldn't help but swallow hard, then grinned and leaned forward, saying, "Su Bai, with your strength and your physical body now comparable to a supreme artifact, who can hurt you? Keeping this half-pill is a waste. Why not give it to me? I also want to taste the feeling of being brought back from the dead!"
Su Bai remained unmoved and said calmly, "Your Highness is joking. Precisely because I am strong, I also face stronger enemies. My risk of death is much higher than yours."
After saying that, Su Bai flicked his finger and decisively put away the half of the Life-Extending Golden Pill, placing it back into the deepest part of the Divine Realm World for safekeeping.
Su Bai kept the Celestial Venerable's words in mind.
If he wants to reach the Immortal Realm in the future, he will face unprecedented difficulties and dangers, and may even face a life-or-death calamity.
Add to that the Demon Kingdom's kill order and the Shadow's assassination attempt... his future path is destined to be fraught with peril.
Having as many life-saving measures as possible is always a good thing. This half-golden pill could be a life in a critical moment!
Seeing this, Fu Yunxiu slapped Feng Shenye's outstretched hand, which hadn't yet retracted, and said irritably, "Stop thinking about it! Although you're weak and idle all day, there won't be any terrifying beings at the Immortal Realm specifically targeting you. But Su Bai is different now; he's a thorn in the side of the Demon Kingdom!"
Feng Shenye winced in pain, rubbing the back of his hand. He immediately remembered what Ye Shenfei had mentioned about Su Bai being hunted by an Immortal Realm expert. His expression changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand, saying awkwardly, "That's true... By the way, Su Bai, when you retreated from Demon City, did you really encounter an Immortal Realm expert who ambushed you?"
At the time, Feng Shenye and the Heavenly Court army were busy withdrawing according to plan, and they were not actually aware of the details of what happened after Su Bai covered the rear. Ye Shenfei only mentioned it briefly to the two of them and did not go into details.
Su Bai's expression was solemn, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Yes. Not just one, but three Immortal Realm beings in succession. If it weren't for my master's timely rescue and the encounter with a special Demon Emperor, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed and would have perished in the starry sky long ago."
"Three people?!"
Feng Shenye and Fu Yunxiu both gasped in shock.
Feng Shenye was filled with righteous indignation. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "The mighty Demon Kingdom can't even accept defeat! In a battlefield of the God Realm, they actually sent out old monsters like the Immortal Realm to kill people. Have they no shame? What kind of nonsense is this?!"
Fu Yunxiu sighed and said helplessly, "Rules are made by the strong and are also for the weak to abide by. The Demon Kingdom is stronger than us overall. They don't follow the rules, and we can only condemn them morally. Unless one day we can beat them hard enough to make them afraid."
"So now you should understand why Su Bai needs that life-extending elixir more than you do, right? He's risking his life."
Feng Shenye nodded vigorously: "That makes sense, that makes sense. Su Bai, you keep it, you must keep it! If anyone dares to take it from me in the future, I'll fight them!"
Su Bai smiled, then changed the subject, looking at Feng Shenye with a hint of concern in his eyes: "By the way, Fourth Prince, Master seems to have been injured while saving me. The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to examine her closely. Can you tell how bad her injury is? Is it serious?"
Feng Shenye was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head: "Mother Consort is injured?! I didn't notice. When I saw her just now, her breathing was steady, her expression was normal, and she even scolded me a bit. But Mother Consort always reports good news and not bad news, so I'll go back later and take a closer look, and also send some healing medicine over!"
Su Bai nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Fourth Prince. In a few days, after I've had a little rest, I'll go and pay my respects to her again to apologize in person."
As he spoke, Su Bai remembered something else and continued to ask, "What is the background of that Senior Sister Langhuan? Do you know? I don't think she's very familiar with you."
Su Bai was referring to the mysterious and powerful Immortal Venerable Langhuan.
Fu Yunxiu pondered for a moment and said, "We actually know very little about this Immortal Venerable Langhuan. My mother once traveled for a long time in the heavens, and it is said that she went to many unknown star fields. Immortal Venerable Langhuan should be the disciple she took in during that time. She has been cultivating in seclusion in Langhuan Heaven with my mother and rarely appears in the Heavenly Court. Even I have only seen this senior sister twice before, and we haven't even exchanged more than a few words."
"This senior sister's cultivation is extraordinary and unfathomable."
Su Bai frowned and said, "If it weren't for the recent opportunities and breakthroughs, my strength might not be stronger than hers. But there's something I don't understand. Since she's so powerful, even stronger than Duanmu Lei, and only slightly weaker than that White-Haunted Demon Lord, why didn't she help my master avenge him and kill that old demon when the Cangzhou Old Demon caused trouble? With her strength, killing the Cangzhou Old Demon would have been more than enough for her."
Feng Shenye thought for a moment and explained, "I have heard my mother mention this before. It is said that the Daoist practiced by the Immortal Venerable Langhuan is very special and requires a long period of dormancy. It seems that she broke through some kind of bottleneck when she came out of seclusion this time, which is why her strength has increased by leaps and bounds and reached her current level. Before this, she was indeed no match for the Old Demon of Cangzhou, and she might even be inferior to ordinary top gods."
"So that's how it is, a slow and steady wins the race..." Su Bai mused.
Feng Shenye smiled and said, "Su Bai, if you're interested in her, perhaps you could ask her for a lesson another day? Anyway, she's one of us now, so a friendly spar wouldn't hurt. I'm also very curious about which of Mother Consort's two disciples is stronger."
Su Bai nodded, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
“Since she is a senior sister, it is indeed necessary to learn from her. And after hearing what you said, I am also very curious about what kind of cultivation path this senior sister cultivates, that can make such a huge qualitative change in strength in a short period of time.”
After several rounds of drinks, the night had deepened.
The three chatted for a while longer about their views on the future situation, until the moon was high in the sky, before they parted ways.
Su Bai was not drunk at all. He got up to say goodbye, picked up Shen Yue who was still gnawing on a divine beast leg and eating with his mouth full of oil, and transformed into a stream of light, returning to the wasteland that belonged to him on the Remnant Moon Star.
A waning moon and stars hang over the desolate plains.
Su Bai sat cross-legged, surrounded by endless withered grass, with a vast starry river above him. The night breeze was cool, causing his white robes to flutter, but it could not disturb his rock-solid composure.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness becoming inward, like a bright lamp illuminating his limbs, bones, and the depths of his soul.
"The battle at the Dragon Nest and the soul-refining on the Dragon Bridge have made my soul as hard as divine iron, strong enough to withstand the spiritual impact of the Immortal Realm." Su Bai muttered to himself, his divine sense sweeping across his sea of consciousness. There, golden light shone brightly, and a small figure of his soul sat cross-legged in the center, with a solemn and dignified appearance. A dragon-shaped mark was faintly flashing between his eyebrows.
