Undying Life

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Su Daji’s Reprimand

As the Purple Sky Sect Leader swept his sleeve, an overwhelming aura erupted, so powerful that even the grass and trees bowed. This commanding presence felt as if it ruled over everything, exerting a pressure that demanded submission.

Faced with this formidable aura, Zhong Shan remained fearless. He believed that Su Daji would not let the Purple Sky Sect Leader continue his rampage.

How strong was Su Daji? An ancient immortal? Perhaps. But once, as the Empress of the Great Shang, she dared to face the saints directly. Although her strength was far below that of the saints, for a considerable time, the saints could do nothing to her. Her methods were astonishingly powerful.

Indeed, just as the Purple Sky Sect Leader was displaying his arrogance:

"Boom!"

In the sky, the endless blood clouds suddenly began to swirl, and a powerful aura descended, pressing directly on the Purple Sky Sect Leader.

The terrifying aura was so overwhelming that even standing on the Heaven and Earth altar, Zhong Shan felt a sense of wanting to flee.

The blood clouds roared, not just above the people's heads, but as if the entire ancient immortal's secret realm, the entire internal world, was suddenly in turmoil. The wind and clouds changed color, and the blood clouds howled.

The immense heavenly pressure bore down directly on the Purple Sky Sect Leader.

The Purple Sky Sect Leader's expression changed, as most of the pressure was directed at him, like the wrath of heaven itself being provoked.

The distant spectators frowned, not understanding what was happening but feeling the turbulent atmosphere.

"A secret realm array? What a powerful array?" The Purple Sky Sect Leader's aura paused as he looked up.

As his aura paused, the heavenly wrath seemed to stop as well.

In an instant, the Purple Sky Sect Leader's gaze turned back to the mountain, specifically to the gate with the nine-tailed fox relief.

Not only the Purple Sky Sect Leader, but also Sacred King Taichu and Chess Sage Chimei looked at the gate, each with a solemn expression. Everyone sensed that while the heavenly wrath had dissipated, another aura was emanating from the gate.

"Boom!"

The mountain gate suddenly opened.

"Creak! Creak!" The sounds of ancient joints moving.

People widened their eyes, staring into the dark entrance, sensing someone was about to emerge.

"Creak!"

Suddenly, a massive skeletal foot stepped out of the gate.

"Thud!"

The skeletal foot landed on the ground of the plaza.

Next, the skeleton's body, a thousand feet tall, passed through the gate, growing larger as it stepped onto the plaza, moving slowly.

Everyone gulped at the sight.

A fox skeleton, dragging nine large skeletal tails.

A nine-tailed fox, the skeleton of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

The shock of the massive skeleton overshadowed the presence of Princess Nine-Tails at its feet.

Though it was only a skeleton, everyone inexplicably felt a seductive aura and a noble, soul-captivating presence emanating from it.

"Chimei pays respects to the senior!" Chess Sage Chimei immediately bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, senior!" Sacred King Taichu said solemnly.

"Greetings, senior!" All the surrounding experts paid their respects.

Only the Purple Sky Sect Leader's expression kept changing upon seeing the skeleton. Not completely dead? Still lingering?

At this moment, Su Daji's skeleton raised its head and looked directly at the Purple Sky Sect Leader.

"Those not from Qingqiu, leave!" Su Daji said calmly. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Her tone was very firm, as if there was no room for rebuttal, like an order from a superior to an inferior.

The Purple Sky Sect Leader, a grand leader of a sect, was being addressed so rudely by Su Daji.

The Purple Sky Sect Leader stared at Su Daji's skeleton, taking a deep breath.

"My apologies for disturbing you, senior," the Purple Sky Sect Leader said seriously.

Then, the Purple Sky Sect Leader moved, quickly leaving the ancient immortal's secret realm with his subordinate.

Everyone who didn't know Su Daji's identity was shocked. Wasn't this an exaggeration? He was a sect leader! And he left immediately after being scolded so rudely?

Zhong Shan wasn't surprised by Su Daji's reprimand. Regardless of her strength, her identity as the former empress of the Great Shang commanded respect. Even though the Great Shang had fallen, some of its powerful figures, like Kong Xuan, were still alive. If Su Daji called upon the remnants of the Great Shang to attack the Purple Sky Dojo, it wouldn't last long.

Even Kong Xuan alone would be enough to trouble the Purple Sky Dojo, not to mention the other powerful descendants of the Great Shang who had survived over the years.

Understanding Su Daji's identity, the Purple Sky Sect Leader had no reason not to leave. The fall of the Great Shang still held its residual power.

Su Daji then looked at the remaining people, finally locking her gaze on Sima Qing.

"Members of the Sima family? You should leave as well!" Su Daji said calmly.

"Senior, we are also from Qingqiu," Sima Qing said respectfully, his face changing.

"Sima family? Hmph, Lady Nuwa allows you to stay in Qingqiu, treating you as Qingqiu people, but I don't like you. Leave!" Su Daji said.

Sima Qing's face changed several times before he finally nodded. "Yes, senior."

He then quickly led Sima Qianjun and Sima Zongheng away.

"Are you the ruler of Qingqiu?" Su Daji asked Sacred King Taichu.

"Yes, I am the Sacred King of the Taichu Sacred Court, ruling over Qingqiu," Sacred King Taichu said respectfully.

The skeleton of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox seemed to scrutinize Sacred King Taichu before finally showing satisfaction. "Barely capable of ruling Qingqiu!"

"Thank you for the compliment, senior," Sacred King Taichu said with some trepidation.

"I am already dead. This remaining wisp of thought is just to leave some last instructions for you and the fox clan of the world," Su Daji said calmly.

"Please speak, senior," Sacred King Taichu said immediately.

It was clear that Sacred King Taichu recognized this as only a remnant thought of Su Daji. Otherwise, if Su Daji's spirit were still intact, she could easily gather the energy of heaven and earth to forge a new body.

"Back then, the seven great sages, led by Hongjun, conspired to manipulate the destiny of the heavens, setting up a grand plan to obscure the celestial mechanisms, using the Great Shang as a sacrifice and the Great Zhou as a foundation to plot against the celestial order. But ultimately, they could not escape the punishment of the heavens. All seven sages perished, their fortunes exhausted. They brought about their own doom," Su Daji said calmly.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with astonishment. These were the secrets of the ancient times, unheard of until now.

"Lady Nuwa once told me that she left a great gift for the fox clan, to be retrieved after fifty thousand years. Now, more than fifty thousand years have passed, and it's time to collect the gift," Su Daji recalled.

"A great gift from Lady Nuwa to the fox clan?" Sacred King Taichu said in surprise.

Not only Sacred King Taichu, but almost everyone was shocked by Su Daji's words. A gift from Lady Nuwa? A saint's gift—what could it possibly be?

A gift for the fox clan? Chess Sage Chimei felt a surge of excitement.

"Upon returning to Qingqiu, gather the wise fox clan members to retrieve it."

"Yes! But where is this gift?" Sacred King Taichu asked promptly.

"Lady Nuwa mentioned it is in 'Aolai Sea'," Su Daji said.

"Aolai Sea? The southeastern sea of the Fengzhong Territory, near the Purple Sky Dojo?" Chess Sage Chimei frowned.

"Aolai Sea? The place where the Supreme Sage fell?" Sacred King Taichu furrowed his brow.

"Yes," Su Daji nodded.

"But, senior, before the Supreme Sage fell, he suddenly went to Aolai Sea and perished there, which had already attracted the attention of the world. Tens of thousands of years ago, countless strong beings arrived at Aolai Sea, searching its four corners for what might have attracted the Supreme Sage. But they found nothing. Even the newly ascended sages have visited Aolai Sea, finding no secrets. How could it still hold something?" Sacred King Taichu asked with a frown.

"If Lady Nuwa said it is there, it is there. She mentioned that this gift concerns the rise and fall of the fox clan and must not be neglected," Su Daji said with certainty.

"Yes, upon returning to Qingqiu, I will arrange for many fox clan members to go there, and I will personally visit Aolai Sea!" Sacred King Taichu nodded.

"I have delivered Lady Nuwa's message. Take care," Su Daji said.

"Yes!" everyone responded respectfully.

At this moment, Su Daji suddenly looked at Princess Nine-Tails.

"Princess Nine-Tails?" Su Daji called out softly.

"I am here, senior. Speak," Princess Nine-Tails responded immediately.

"I am dead, with only a wisp of thought remaining. After leaving the Forbidden Hall just now, this wisp of thought will also disperse into the world, becoming part of the world's energy. But I have one last wish, and I hope you can fulfill it," Su Daji said with a hint of expectation.

"Senior, as long as it is within my power, I will do it!" Princess Nine-Tails immediately responded.

"I have already told you everything inside the Forbidden Hall. In the Battle of Fengshen, the Great Shang became a sacrifice for the saints who manipulated the celestial order. Both King Zhou and I were dismembered. I wish for you, one day, to bury me and King Zhou together, fulfilling my last wish," Su Daji said with a touch of sorrow.

Thinking about everything Su Daji had revealed inside the Forbidden Hall, Princess Nine-Tails felt a pang of sadness.

Looking at Su Daji's enormous skeleton, she solemnly nodded, "Rest assured, if I have the ability, I will ensure you and King Zhou Di Xin are buried together. Let all the gods and Buddhas see for themselves!"

"Thank you," Su Daji said gratefully.

Then, the mountain behind her suddenly transformed into a massive red coffin.

Su Daji slowly stepped into the coffin, lying down and extinguishing her last wisp of thought.

Princess Nine-Tails closed the coffin lid, her face full of sorrow, and with a wave of her hand, she stored the red coffin in her storage space.

The moment it entered the storage space, it signified that Su Daji was completely dead, even her last wisp of thought turning to dust.

"Boom!"

The blood-red sky suddenly roared continuously, causing the entire ancient immortal's secret realm to shake.

"This is bad. The senior's extinction is causing the ancient immortal's secret realm to collapse!" Chess Sage Chimei exclaimed.
