My Fairy Growth System

In the torturous moment Yu Qingtan managed to utter the word "willing," her mind was as clear as a mirror. This was not true submissiveness but a tactical concealment. She knew that confronting the powerful Nether Emperor directly was like throwing eggs against rocks. The only option was to lie low and look for opportunities.

"Very good, Qing Shuang, you have made a wise decision," the Nether Emperor's mouth curved up in a satisfied smile. With a light wave of his hand, the oppressive aura and illusions enveloping Yu Qingtan instantly dissipated, leaving only the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her somewhat pale complexion.

"From now on, you will be my foremost Nether Envoy, and I will give you the Five Elements Demon Suppression Sword. Serve me well, and your future shall be boundless," the Nether Emperor's words carried an undeniable authority yet also betrayed a recognition of Qing Tan's potential.

"Thank you, Lord Emperor," Yu Qingtan said respectfully.

Several days later, various forces came to redeem their people with Immortal Crystals, and the Nether Emperor promptly fulfilled his promise to release them upon receiving the crystals, except for Yu Qingtan.

"Nether Emperor, Elder Qing Shuang is an important member of the Longevity Imperial Palace. How can you go back on your word and detain her?" Jiang Lai Saint Venerable demanded loudly.

"Hmph, insolent junior, Qing Shuang voluntarily became my foremost Nether Envoy. How is it that I am breaking my word!" the Nether Soul Emperor said coldly from within the Eight-Staged Ten Directions Nether Illusion Slaying Great Array.

"Junior Palace Master, I truly did so voluntarily. I have failed the expectations of the Longevity Imperial Palace and the Longevity Emperor Sovereign. All I can say is sorry," Yu Qingtan stood by the Nether Emperor, addressing the Jiang Lai Saint Venerable and gently shaking her head.

"Nether Emperor, I hope what you are saying is true. If you have ulterior motives towards Qing Shuang, the Longevity Imperial Palace will not let you off," Jiang Lai Saint Venerable understood Yu Qingtan's meaning but continued to assert firmly.

"Hmph!"

The Nether Emperor scoffed disdainfully and did not directly respond to Jiang Lai Saint Venerable's threat. Instead, he waved his hand, and the Great Array surged, isolating the personnel of the Longevity Imperial Palace and other forces from entering.

As the array activated, waves of chilling air spread throughout, and the entrance of the Nether Illusion Domain seemed enveloped by an invisible layer of black mist, looking extraordinarily mysterious and grim.

"Qing Shuang, now that you have become my foremost Nether Envoy, you must cultivate diligently. Do not tarnish the name of the Nether Emperor Sovereign," the Nether Emperor turned, looking at Yu Qingtan with a profound gaze, his voice bearing a few more traces of undeniable sternness.

Yu Qingtan bowed and respectfully replied, "Qing Shuang will surely follow Lord Emperor's teachings wholeheartedly and keep up with your pace."

"Hmm, here is a gift of a Five Elements Spirit Crystal which should aid your cultivation. I hope you will not disappoint me," said the Nether Emperor as he flipped his palm, and a crystal emitting a spectrum of colors appeared in his hand. The crystal embodied an extremely rich essence of the Principle of the Five Elements, as if gathering the most purified forces of nature. Merely looking at it vibrated one's spirit.

Yu Qingtan took the Five Elements Spirit Crystal, feeling the surging power within, and inwardly marveled.

The Five Elements Spirit Crystal, a Seventh Stage Spiritual Material, was more advanced than the Five Elements Spiritual Pulp extracted from the Innate Five Elements Essence and was just below the Eighth Stage Spiritual Material, Five Elements Spiritual. If her Five-Star Ascension Tree was nurtured with this Five Elements Spirit Crystal, it could undoubtedly become a Sixth Stage Spiritual Plant.

"Thank you, Lord Emperor, for your generous gift; Qing Shuang will certainly live up to your expectations," Yu Qingtan spoke with determination, her eyes sparkling resolutely.

...

Outer Realm, Great Qian Immortal City where the Eastern Region Qian Family is located.

The Sect Hierarch of the Congregation of Life, Holy Maiden Shen Wan, the Eight Great Law Kings, and a hundred leaders suddenly appeared outside Great Qian Immortal City.

Yu Qingtan's avatar, the Sect Hierarch, without any nonsense, directly took out a Sixth Stage Breaking Array Talisman obtained from a system lottery, and infused it with spiritual power.

A powerful wave of spiritual power fluctuations instantly swept across the entire Great Qian Immortal City as if even the heavens and earth could change color.

Within the Qian Family, the originally peaceful atmosphere was disrupted by a sudden crisis. The higher-ups of the clan were all startled as they looked up to the sky, only to see a dazzling light cutting through the sky, hurtling directly towards the Five-Stage Family Protection Great Array that had guarded the Qian Family for generations.

The Sixth Stage Breaking Array Talisman, facing a Fifth Stage array, easily tore open a huge hole, exposing the Qian Family within to the eyes of the Sect of Commoners.

"Sect Hierarch Qing, our Qian Family is also a part of the Congregation Alliance. Why do you want to take aggressive action against my Qian Family now?" the Family Head, True Lord Mengde, appeared in the air above Great Qian Immortal City and called out to the Sect Hierarch.

Behind him were more than twenty Venerables of the Qian Family at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

However, faced with the Sect Hierarch, who was already in the Void Refinement Stage and whose strength was unfathomably deep, the Qian Family could only try to reason with her.

"The Eastern Region Qian Family acts against decency; their sins are numerous. Today, I am here to exterminate the Qian Family and return clarity to the Eastern Region," the Sect Hierarch said, and threw out more than a dozen Memory Stones, projecting some of the sinful deeds of the Qian Family cultivators.

Of course, although these sins enraged the non-Qian Family people in Great Qian Immortal City, in the power-driven Cultivation World, these sins were not enough to destroy the Qian Family, the number one cultivator family in the Outer Realm.

The main reason the Sect Hierarch made her move was the ambush by the Central Domain Qian Family against her real body. However, Yu Qingtan's journey to the Central Domain had not been made public, and it was not convenient to mention it at the moment, but the Sect Hierarch only needed a facade to act upon.

The reason for her action now was because Yu Qingtan was preparing to break through to the Body Integration Realm, and that meant her avatar would also be entering the Central Domain, where no power of the Body Integration Stage should exist in the Outer Realm.

Moreover, Shen Wanning had already reached the late stage of Divinity Transformation, and Xiao Youwei, Shen Tinglan, Li Xingruo, Xiang Yiyi, Yan Xi, Shui Qingrou, Yan Xi, Ni Shuyu, Gao Yue, Wen Jin, and others had also broken through to the Divinity Transformation Stage under Yu Qingtan's vigorous nurturing, enough to support the operation of the Congregation Alliance.

"Sect Hierarch Qing, these are just some unruly descendants of my Qian Family, harmful to the group. My Qian Family is willing to execute justice on them and bring them to justice, to set an example. You surely wouldn't need to exterminate my Qian Family for these offenses?" Another Supreme Elder of the Qian Family, at mid-stage Divinity Transformation, spoke out, especially since Family Head True Lord Mengde was also seen in the projections.

"Humph, these are just the tip of the iceberg of what we have found. Your Qian Family has committed countless more wicked deeds. Here's what, I'll give you a chance—you surrender, and then undergo scrutiny in front of a Fifth Stage Truth Talisman. If you haven't committed any crimes, I might spare your lives," the Sect Hierarch's cold voice resonated.

"Sect Hierarch Qing, my Qian Family is an Emperor Sovereign Level force in the Central Domain, and we possess ancestors at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Do you really want to completely break ties with my Qian Family?" another Supreme Elder at mid-stage Divinity Transformation from Qian Family stepped forward and said.

"Ha, if you can, call over the Transcendance Tribulation Stage ancestors of your Qian Family to kill me!" the Sect Hierarch disdainfully laughed.

"I'll count to three. The choice is yours, whether to resist stubbornly or to surrender," she declared.
