Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 881 542: Yousu

Inside the hall, people were talking all at once, causing Xu Yang to stop in his tracks and turn toward the tall building.

He was not the only one, as most of the cultivators in the hall did the same, with some individuals from prestigious families laughing and talking as they emerged from private rooms, clearly eager to join in the excitement.

Xu Yang stepped onto the cloud-tiered stairs. In this splendid palace adorned with jade and exquisite carvings, he did not need to search for the destination, as the crowd was already pointing the way.

A jade stairway ascended to the heavens, shrouded in mist and drifting spiritual energy, flanked by Qingluan birds and White Cranes dancing to the left and right, and above and below, the bright moon illuminated the Ninth Heaven. There were also strands of cold air and drifting snowflakes leading straight to a palace in the sky, an Immortal Palace.

It was the Snow Moon Pavilion!

There were ten pavilions in the Gourmet Immortal Abode, and Snow Moon was one of them, its name as distinguished as that of the "Wind Flower Pavilion," carrying its own unique significance.

Looking at the Heaven Reaching stairs and the Snow Moon Pavilion behind them, with its splendid jade buildings, many felt ashamed and stopped in their tracks, while only a few summoned the courage to step forward.

Thus the crowd was divided as if an insurmountable chasm had formed, making it difficult for the rest to follow.

But there were also some young and spirited individuals who boldly climbed the jade stairs and ascended the splendid palatial floors.

And because of this, vulgar disputes were unavoidable. On the white jade stairs, another conflict arose.

"Hmph, can just anyone enter through these doors now?"

"The threshold of the Gourmet Immortal Abode is getting lower and lower!"

"Lowly people, having gained some luck, now delude themselves with thoughts of soaring to the heavens in one step?"

"Don't they even look in the mirror to see what kind of trash they are?"

A group of individuals, gathered in threes and fives, dressed in rather lavish attire and bearing distinguished manners were obviously from highborn families. At this moment, their words were sharp as swords, directed at another group.

The other group, also in small clusters, had a young man at the center who likewise had an extraordinary demeanor, but with a hint of rusticity. Faced with such sarcasm, they were unceremoniously retorting.

"Exactly, exactly!"

"The threshold of the Gourmet Immortal Abode is indeed getting lower!"

"Allowing a few babbling turtles inside."

"And they're too stingy to even provide a mirror for them to look at themselves."

"The decline of the world, the sad decline of the world!"

The young men, full of rural vigor, their words sharp and piercing, made the sons of the prestigious families turn an iron shade, cursing and swearing in response.

"Country bumpkins will always be just that!"

"Speaking nonsense without understanding how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

"Once out of Heavenly Domain City, I will kill all of you!"

Their intentions were murderous and unmasked, and the confrontation between the two sides made it a spectacle for the surrounding crowd.

"Is that... a scion of the Xiao clan?"

"Yes, that's someone from the main branch of the Xiao clan, the younger brother of the Xiao clan's Taoist!"

"How did those few young men provoke him?"

"How else? Don't pretend you don't know the ways of Young Master Xiao."

"What background do those few young men have that they dare to openly confront someone from the Xiao clan?"

"It seems they are not from the various Sacred Places..."

Watching the confrontation between the two parties, the crowd was buzzing with discussion, but without halting their steps.

While the dispute was entertaining, what could be more pleasing than the presence of heavenly maidens?

The crowd didn't stop, and soon they crossed the jade stairs and arrived in front of the Snow Moon Pavilion.

Maidens awaited in front of the pavilion, all young and at the prime of their youth, their bodies veiled in light gauze, exuding a charm that was both sultry and pure. In their long black hair, a pair of fox ears stood erect, revealing their lineage.

Indeed, they were the Yousu fox ladies!

As the crowd approached, seeing this sight, they also stopped in their tracks.

"What's the procedure?"

"Where might the Fox Clan Celestial Maiden be?"

"She's within the Snow Moon Pavilion, why would she reveal herself to the public?"

"Where's the test? I want to see what criteria this Yousu Heavenly Girl will use to choose her partner!"

"First try entering this Snow Moon Pavilion before you speak."

"These Yousu fox ladies are indeed national beauties!"

"If ordinary fox ladies are so beautiful, then the Yousu Heavenly Girl must be..."

"Naturally, haven't the great emperors of old taken Tushan maidens as wives?"

"Among the three Fox Clans, Tushan may be the foremost, but the Yousu Clan isn't far behind!"

In front of the Snow Moon Pavilion, the discussion among the crowd was lively, stirring up the atmosphere.

However, with the Yousu fox ladies blocking the way in front of the pavilion, it was improper for the crowd to barge in, so they all had to restrain themselves forcefully.

It was not until a young man arrived, passing through the crowd and stepping forward that the Yousu fox ladies finally opened the path.

"This..."

"What's going on?"

"How did he just go in like that?"

"Nonsense, can't you see who he is?"

"That's a prince from the Great Xia Ancient Dynasty!"

"The Great Xia Ancient Dynasty, descendants of Emperor Yu?"

"Is that the Great Xia Emperor Yu who married a Tushan lady?"

"Yes, indeed, he is a descendant of Emperor Yu, a prince of the Great Xia Ancient Dynasty."

"Such status is required to enter the pavilion, to take a look at the challenge posed by the Yousu Heavenly Girl?"

"Even entry to the pavilion is the initial step. Whether one can become a chosen guest depends on the inclinations of the Yousu Heavenly Girl."

All eyes turned to the young man, who wore a crown and a yellow robe. With a noble and imposing demeanor, he exuded an innate royal authority as he stepped into the pavilion amidst the gaze of the crowd, sparking a fresh round of discussions.

"Only princes of the ancient dynasties can enter the pavilion?"

"Isn't the threshold set by the Su clan rather high?"

"For a Heavenly Girl to choose a suitor, how can the threshold not be high?"

"This Emperor of the Xia Dynasty is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—insatiable. Isn't marrying into the Tushan clan enough? Now he's setting his sights on the Yousu clan?"

"Among the three fox clans, Tushan is the most glorious, once imperial consorts of Emperor Yu; Yousu comes next, while Chun Hu is the least."

"Although the Fox Clan is also one of the Ten Thousand Clans from primordial times, they have not produced a Great Emperor of old. The current True Ancestral Fox Immortal from the Yousu clan is stunningly brilliant, but without an Imperial Heavy Weapon in hand, she cannot assume the highest pinnacle."

"Lacking Imperial Heavy Weapons is one thing, but even the Immortal Treasures, the heritage of their clan lineages, are reputed to have been damaged and fragmented due to great wars. This has forced the Yousu clan to forge alliances with others."

"Otherwise, considering the True Ancestral Fox Immortal's disdain for men, how could it be possible for her to let her beloved disciple come out to choose a suitor?"

"There are rumors of a Dual Cultivation Technique within the three fox clans, which can aid the cultivation of a daoist couple. Emperor Yu's attainment as a Great Emperor owes much to the contributions of that Tushan lady."

"The Fox Clan values the lineage and heredity of their bloodline, preferring that the patriarchal line continues while keeping the matriarchal line. Without Imperial Blood Physique or Innate Dao Embryo, even a Venerable of the Tribulation Realm wouldn't be allowed entry into the pavilion."

"..."

The spectators discussed among themselves, yet could only observe, as only those from the ancient imperial clans and descendent of Immortal Gods could enter the pavilion.

In this manner, the Snow Moon Pavilion gathered a host of talented young men, all direct descendants of the great ancient dynasties and favored children of Celestial Gate Holy Lands, each with extraordinary bearing and remarkable charm. There were also many stunning ladies present, leisurely awaiting their turn.

"We are honored by your presence here at the Snow Moon Pavilion," said a splendidly dressed, full-figured woman of ripe beauty, whose every gesture exuded maturity and charm, and whose cultivation had reached the Tribulation Realm.

"It's Honored Qin!"

"Years have passed, and Honored Qin seems even more distinguished than before!"

Seeing her, everyone stood up and paid their respects,

After all, she was a Venerable of the Tribulation Realm, and in the midst of ancient imperial clans and celestial families, she could hold the position of a Supreme Elder, and had to be treated with due respect.

As everyone showed respect, Yousu Qin received it with a smile, before getting straight to the point, "The clan leader wishes to choose a suitor for the Heavenly Girl, so taking the opportunity of the Tianyu conference, three challenges have been laid out in the Snow Moon Pavilion. Those who can answer and align with the desires of the Heavenly Girl may enter her chamber for a meeting."

With that, she waved her sleeve, and Spirit Light flew out, lingering in the void and displaying three challenges.

Furrowing their brows in concentration, the attendees showed signs of surprise as they looked at the questions.

"Martial Arts Scripture?"

"What is this?"

"Could it be some Emperor Scripture Manual?"

"Which of the emperors throughout history was known for his martial prowess?"

"Martial Arts Scripture, it seems familiar, I have heard of this name."

As they contemplated the three challenges, the crowd turned their gaze back to Yousu Qin, perplexed, "Honored Qin, we understand the first two challenges, but this third one, concerning the Martial Arts Scripture, please forgive our ignorance, we have never heard of this scripture before. What might the Heavenly Girl mean by it?"

"I don't know either!"

Yousu Qin shook her head, "But this third challenge was set by the Heavenly Girl herself. She said you may all answer as you wish, and as long as it pleases her, you may enter her chamber for an audience!"

"This…"

Her words left the crowd looking at one another, unsure of how to respond.

Meanwhile.

"Hmm~!"

Within the confines of the chamber, atop a cloud-bed jade couch, a woman lay on her side, her clothes disheveled, with one shoulder bared and her hair spread out. Unbothered, she held a white jade wine flask, drinking straight from it, while her nine tails swayed behind her, and her legs entwined beneath her skirt, her fair skin blushing pink...

"Not bad at all, this Drunken Immortal Wine is really good, worthy of being Gourmet Immortal Abode's signature."

"It's just that it's quite expensive, a thousand Immortal Jade for a bottle, isn't this robbery?"

"I still have to deal with that bunch of people afterward, who could withstand it without drinking more?"

"Hic~!"

Talking to herself in boredom, she could only turn over again, searching for a more comfortable position to continue drowning her sorrows with wine.

However, as she turned over, she noticed an unfamiliar figure silently appearing in the room.

At a glimpse, she quickly sobered up and flipped to her feet, her drunken state gone, replaced by a chilling intent to kill as she lunged at the intruder, "Who are you...!?"

The words were cut off halfway when she stood in place, staring at the person before her, and for a moment, she seemed lost in a daze.

Facing each other, their gazes met, as if spanning thousands and thousands of years, through the vast distance of time and epochs.

Then suddenly...

"My Lord!!!"

A cry rang out, and a figure flew forward, sliding into a kneel halfway and plunging directly toward Xu Yang, embracing his leg tightly without any regard for propriety, vehemently pressing against him in a mix of shock and joy, bitter tears flowing, "I've sought you with such hardship, wuu wuu wuu!"

Xu Yang: "..."
