Chapter 830 - 474: Ten Hall Yama

"Since you have a way to suppress the influence of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills, there’s naturally no need to worry.

"I will now impart the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body to you..."

Here it comes. Zou Feng had long anticipated that Yan Canglan wouldn’t send a wisp of Divine Thought here just to praise him with mere words. Instead, he would definitely offer tangible benefits to a newly promoted Direct Disciple.

"You bear the bloodline of an Ancient Holy Beast, making you the perfect candidate to cultivate this Golden Body. Moreover, it will further help you suppress the corruption of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an indistinct, glittering golden entity emerged from the auspicious clouds. In just a moment, it smoothly integrated into Zou Feng’s physical body.

The next moment, Zou Feng’s entire body trembled. To his surprise, he instantly comprehended the profound mysteries of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body. Although he still couldn’t open the List of Gods at this moment, Zou Feng was certain based on his instincts alone that this Golden Body had definitely been successfully recorded. At the same time, it had reached an extremely high Realm—at least at the Limit-Breaking Realm, which was only a step away from the Realm of Transcendence.

This was equivalent to imparting a Skill through direct infusion, saving him from the initial Cultivation process. Being able to achieve such an effect was primarily due to Yan Canglan’s heaven-defying methods. Secondly, as Yan Canglan had said, since he had devoured the bodies of Holy Beasts like the Golden-winged Roc, he was inherently highly compatible with this Golden Body and didn’t need to cultivate it from scratch.

However, what confused Zou Feng was that the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body looked like a Righteous Immortal Technique no matter how he viewed it. Its Cultivation method was definitely upright and honorable, without any obvious side effects. Yet the List of Gods clearly couldn’t record Skills without side effects.

He wondered if the List of Gods had evolved to possess the ability to convert any Cultivation Skill or Skill into an Evil Technique. The more Zou Feng thought about it, the more he felt that this was probably the case. However, he would have to wait until the List of Gods finished upgrading to know the exact situation.

After briefly experiencing the wonders of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body, Zou Feng was about to express his thanks when another object emerged from the auspicious clouds. It was a sphere the size of an egg, made of an unknown material.

"This is the Ruyi Glaze Crystal. It can be forged into a corresponding Magical Treasure according to your will..."

First, imparting a Skill, and then gifting a treasure—both personally handed out by the Sect Leader. The treatment of a Direct Disciple was truly evident. It could be forged into a corresponding Magical Treasure according to his will? Just hearing this revealed how precious and incredible this item was.

Up until today, because his Poison Skills and Poison Techniques were extraordinarily powerful, Zou Feng had never considered buying or finding someone specifically to forge a Magical Treasure. After all, he truly had no use for one. Forcing himself to use a Magical Treasure would be like drawing legs on a snake—utterly superfluous.

But the Ruyi Glaze Crystal bestowed by Yan Canglan at this moment was clearly not something superfluous. Just looking at this thing was enough to know its power. Especially since it could transform according to his will, it inevitably meant that it could amplify the might of his Skills.

Zou Feng was already considering whether he should have the Ruyi Glaze Crystal transform into the Rotating Magic Ball Lamp in his Xuanwu Poison Domain. Or perhaps, into a Top Grade Dance Suit that was more suited for dancing. Or even a pair of skateboard shoes brimming with Magic Power. But there was naturally no need to rush to a conclusion now. He would study the item thoroughly later before making a decision.

"The Ruyi Glaze Crystal is extremely difficult to obtain. Do not treat this item too carelessly..." Yan Canglan seemed to notice that Zou Feng’s gaze was somewhat amiss—evidently having thought of some playful use for it—and couldn’t help but offer a word of caution.

For the Sect Leader of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect to say that this item was extremely rare was enough to prove that it was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought out. In the entire Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, it was likely that only Direct Disciples and a portion of the higher-ups could possess one.

"I understand!" Zou Feng immediately replied.

Yan Canglan added, "Once your Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body advances another step, you can head to the Yama Underworld and, together with your Senior Sister Ma, slay the Tenth Hall Yama!"

He was going to fight the Ten Hall Yama!?

In the Yama Underworld, those above the title of King Yan were the Ten Hall Yama. The top three of the Ten Hall Yama were entities capable of competing for the position of Lord of the Underworld. Naturally, they weren’t someone that a Nascent Soul Realm rookie like Zou Feng could provoke. But Yan Canglan assigning Zou Feng to participate in the assassination of the Tenth Hall Yama still exceeded Zou Feng’s expectations.

Was there really such a rush? Right after giving him powerful equipment, the Sect Leader was immediately sending him off to the Underworld to throw his life away? Zou Feng was truly somewhat perplexed. After all, under normal circumstances, a newly promoted Direct Disciple like him should first be protected by the Immortal Sect.

Even if they were in a hurry to attack the Yama Underworld, given the Immortal Sect’s foundation, their reserve of Nascent Soul Old Monsters would definitely not be small. So why weren’t these Nascent Soul Realm Elders putting in the effort, and instead, hopes were being pinned on a rookie like him?

Zou Feng’s confusion, naturally, could not be hidden from Yan Canglan.

"The Ten Hall Yama—do you think they can be taken down just by dispatching some Upper Sect Elders?

"Let me ask you this: previously, when you and Gongyang Wuji were merely at the Golden Core Realm, you both dared to swagger through the Northern Domain. What did you rely on?" Yan Canglan asked in rapid succession.

Now Zou Feng finally understood. It turned out this likely involved the concept of karmic luck again. In situations where the opponent’s karmic luck was too strong, even if one was at the same Realm or a higher Realm, the opponent would still be extremely difficult to find and kill. Even if victory was already within grasp, there was a high chance the opponent would inexplicably slip away.

Therefore, by sending a Direct Disciple whose karmic luck was equally bursting at the seams, the probability of finding and killing the target would return to normal levels. Since that was the case, Zou Feng didn’t say anything more. Anyway, Ma Qianqin would be at the frontlines taking the brunt of it.

"First, we annihilate the Underworld, and then we conquer the Celestial Court. Otherwise, our Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect will never have peace!" Yan Canglan said in a deep voice.
