Liang Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while?"
The few Saint Spirits exchanged glances. The strongest among them, Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme, still acted as the spokesperson. He immediately smiled and said, "Of course, you are welcome, Heavenly Lord, please enter."
After Liang Yu entered Xuanqiong Ancient Star, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As expected, the wonders of nature's creation were unimaginably exquisite. This Ancient Star was covered everywhere with natural Array Patterns, which could greatly accelerate the growth of Saint Spirits, and the laws of heaven and earth here were also extremely special, seemingly suppressing and repelling all races other than Saint Spirits.
The situation on Xuanqiong Ancient Star was somewhat similar to Overlord Body Ancestral Star. Originally, this place was only relatively suitable for the growth of Saint Spirits, but it did not affect other races. Later, because several Grand Perfection or attained the Dao Saint Spirits dissolved their Dao here, they changed the laws of the entire Ancient Star.
Thus, the laws of heaven and earth began to suppress all races other than Saint Spirits, and the Saint Spirit lineage thereby completely became the absolute dominant force on this Ancient Star.
Life was abundant within the Ancient Star, but there were not many living races, and these ethnic groups were basically descendants of Saint Spirits. They had the bloodline of Saint Spirits, but they were ultimately not true Saint Spirits born from heaven and earth, so their status was not high.
Among these ethnic groups, only a very few outstanding individuals could enter Xuanqiong Mountain to serve as servants or attendants for the beings within the Divine Mountain.
The natural Saint Spirits, who constituted a very small number, were basically all gathered in Xuanqiong Mountain. They were the true masters of this Ancient Star. Outside the Divine Mountain, they possessed the highest privilege to dictate the life and death of those ethnic groups.
After Liang Yu entered the Divine Mountain, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The Ancient Star was already extraordinary, but this Xuanqiong Mountain was even more heaven-defying.
Within the Divine Mountain, countless natural Array Patterns converged, connected by several Supreme Array Patterns to form a peerless divine array, which even an ordinary attained the Dao would find difficult to breach.
Inside the Divine Mountain, various divine treasures were piled up everywhere as if they were worthless; divine marrow and divine source were ubiquitous, natural Divine Springs were almost congealing into lakes and rivers, and countless Saint Medicines grew vigorously.
And deeper underground in the Divine Mountain, dozens to hundreds of stone embryos lay dormant, slowly evolving together with many fragmented immortal gold artifact embryos.
Of course, many of them were retrieved by the Saint Spirit race from the outside world, and some were born with deficiencies and cultivated the Heaven Mending Technique by utilizing the terrain; there weren't that many native Saint Spirits on this Ancient Star.
Liang Yu felt a surge of desire, wanting to carry the entire Xuanqiong Mountain away, but remembering the purpose of his trip, he suppressed the greed in his heart.
He arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up; peak after peak soared into the clouds, reaching straight to the sky. At the summit, countless palaces stood in array, like an immortal realm or a divine palace.
Liang Yu moved his steps and arrived at the main hall on the mountain peak. Nine figures sealed within immortal sources greeted him. The leading Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme had red hair and crimson eyes, appearing in his prime, with blood and qi like a sea.
The other eight Saint Spirits had varied forms, but their blood and qi were also full, making it hard to tell that they were self-sealed old-age Supremes. However, Liang Yu sensed a monstrous aura of blood and malevolence from these Saint Spirits. Clearly, these Saint Spirits had instigated dark turmoil and devoured a large number of lives. Nevertheless, the leading Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme had the lightest aura on him.
Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme smiled and said, "Heavenly Lord, please come in. We have prepared water from the Cold Jade Divine Spring and leaves from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. How about we discuss while sipping tea?"
Liang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept."
At the signal of Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme, the six Saint Spirits who had not yet proven their Dao greeted them and then withdrew from the main hall.
They did not go into slumber but occupied six critical array eyes, constantly monitoring the situation to act at the first opportunity.
The remaining two in the main hall were Xuan Yu Supreme, who had proven his Dao as a stone man, and Azure Abyss Supreme, who had mastered the Heaven Mending Technique.
The four sat around a warm, flawless white jade table that exuded a faint Dao rhyme. Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme personally brewed the tea, placing various shaped Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree leaves into a jade pot and boiling them with his innate divine fire. Then, he poured the tea into cups.
"Heavenly Lord, please."
Liang Yu picked it up and took a sip. Immediately, his primordial spirit and Immortal Platform became clear, and his perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became even sharper. It truly lived up to its name as a leaf from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.
Regardless of the era, the leaves of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree were mostly collected by these Supremes, making it difficult for them to circulate outside.
Undying Mountain was not yet a Life Forbidden Zone. The reason was that Undying Mountain was still "growing" at this time, and it was not as miraculous as it would be in later generations; it merely had an Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree growing within it, which could not be transplanted.
In fact, at this time, the Divine Mountain was not called Undying Mountain, but Divine Tea Mountain. Because the name Undying Mountain was suspected to be related to Undying Heavenly Emperor and Undying Taoist, and they had not yet emerged.
Liang Yu speculated that this Divine Mountain only truly became a Divine Mountain capable of accommodating Supremes to transform into Forbidden Zones in the Ancient Era at the earliest.
"Good tea. Since I, Liang, have come here, I presume you all know why, right?"
"We know, we know. Purple Zenith was blinded by greed and dared to attack Heavenly Lord, truly seeking his own death. We were in the same place but failed to stop him, which is truly regrettable. To compensate Heavenly Lord, our Xuanqiong Mountain will certainly do our best to apologize. If there is anything you desire, we will try our best to satisfy you." Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme lowered his posture even further.
Although Xuan Yu and Azure Abyss were furious, seeing the Desolate Pagoda above Liang Yu's head, they could only choose to swallow their anger. They knew that Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme's willingness to humble himself was entirely for the sake of the Saint Spirit race's legacy.
Once Liang Yu made a move, even if they could escape, the Saint Spirit race would absolutely not be preserved. Hoping for other Forbidden Zone Supremes to rescue them was even more impossible, unless Liang Yu publicly declared his intention to wipe out the Forbidden Zones, or actually began to attack the major Forbidden Zones; otherwise, those Supremes would certainly only look out for themselves.
To avoid conflict, Xuan Yu Supreme and Azure Abyss Supreme both tried their best to endure, allowing the more gentle-tempered Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme to lead this negotiation.
Liang Yu smiled upon hearing this: "I am not a bandit or a robber; I am the current Heavenly Lord, so what I demand must not tarnish the Heavenly Lord's supreme prestige."
Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme's smile remained unchanged: "Then, may I ask what Heavenly Lord desires?"
Liang Yu tapped the table with his finger: "I have just proven my Dao and do not yet have an Elixir of Immortality by my side. I wonder if any of you possess one?"
Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme looked troubled: "We truly do not have an Elixir of Immortality. Heavenly Lord's divine eyes are like torches, you can see for yourself."
The three great Saint Spirits cursed inwardly: What are you pretending for? Heavenly River Divine Realm was destroyed by you, did that Humanoid Undying Medicine fly away instead of reaching your hands? What use is it for one person to have two of them? This thing can't be consumed repeatedly.
Liang Yu then continued, "I heard that Daode Tianzun once researched a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill that can allow an attained the Dao to live an extra lifetime. Since there is no Immortal Elixir, then give me three to five Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills."
Before Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme could speak, Xuan Yu Supreme said, "If we truly had Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills, we would have eaten them long ago. How could they still be here? Moreover, three to five pills, even Daode Tianzun himself might not have refined that many."
Liang Yu frowned and said, "Neither this nor that, I don't see your sincerity."
Phoenix Blood Red Gold Supreme said, "A clever housewife cannot cook without rice. The items Heavenly Lord requests, we truly do not possess. Please ask for something else."
Liang Yu's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he spoke again, "I recently want to refine a few attained the Dao artifacts, but I lack immortal gold. Surely you have that, right?"
