I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

quiet!

A deathly silence enveloped the chessboard-like world, and all eyes were drawn to the figure whose white hair was stained with blood.

The shock in my heart had already reached its peak.

Gu Xiu is very strong, which has been evident to all before.

But no one expected him to be this strong. He seemed to have reached his limit when he fought against the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets, but they only realized this after he killed ten Supremes in a row.

The previous limit was not Gu Xiu's limit at all!

"Five hundred years ago, I had to look up to him. Now, five hundred years later, I thought we had caught up with him and left him far behind. But I never expected that I would still have to look up to him now."

"Damn it, is this the person destined to suppress an era? I'm so unwilling, but I have no choice but to accept it."

"Now I believe that the three rankings of Heaven, Earth and Man created by the Three Immortal Islands are not rigorous at all. I used to be so proud of my ranking on the Heaven Ranking, but now I realize that the Heaven Ranking is just a well, and we are just frogs in the well."

The group of young prodigies were deeply moved.

Ignoring the sighs of dismay from these prodigies, Gu Xiu strode quickly to Lü Dongshan's side. However, before he reached him, the Moon Gazing Supreme blocked his way:

“You haven’t recovered from your previous exertion, and this time you forcibly mobilized your own source, causing some damage to your source. If you get too close, the Azure Vine within him will grow inside your body.”

Gu Xiu was a little worried, so Su Lingling turned around and said:

“He’s right. This Azure Vine has already taken root and sprouted inside his body. Although the Azure Vine mainly spreads through touch, it can still spread to people with weak constitutions. If you approach it rashly in your current condition, not only will you be in danger, but he will be in danger as well.”

"How is he now?" Gu Xiu stopped and frowned.

"The situation has been barely stabilized."

Su Lingling wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking somewhat puzzled:

"The Azure Vine is one of the top three most potent poisons on the list of rare poisons. Its toxicity is extremely domineering and quite bizarre. It can even assimilate the poisoned person into a complete Azure Vine. If a normal person touches it, they will be poisoned immediately and die quickly in a very short time. Normally, even if a master helps suppress the poison, he would still die without a doubt. But this person is very unique."

"unique?"

"Yes, unique, he was terrified of death."

"what?"

"The moment the Azure Vine touched his body, his cultivation and soul immediately entered a special state, shrinking into a ball. Moreover, it seems that he had consumed many kinds of potent tonics in the past, which made his domain very strange. Ironically, this created a rather peculiar situation within his body."

"What's going on?"

"Egg."

"Egg?"

Gu Xiu was puzzled.

Su Lingling nodded: "Yes, it's like he turned himself into an egg. His own soul and consciousness became the primordial energy in the yolk, while his cultivation became the yolk, and his domain seemed to become the egg white, protecting him layer by layer."

"This... will work?" Gu Xiu looked at Lü Dongshan's still green face with a strange expression.

“Normally it wouldn’t work, but as I said, he was too afraid of dying.” Su Lingling explained, “The moment he was poisoned, he retreated without hesitation, without even thinking of resisting this completely irresistible toxin. Fortunately, he didn’t foolishly try to resist this force, which allowed him to protect himself and stay safe for the time being.”

“I just used a lot of methods to make his egg more solid. You can think of it as me adding another layer of eggshell around the egg white. This eggshell can help him resist the poison of the Green Vine for a certain period of time. Even if the eggshell is damaged, he can still hold on for a while longer.”

Su Lingling's explanation was very straightforward, which temporarily relieved Gu Xiu, but he also realized that Lü Dongshan's condition was still bad.

after all.

He is only temporarily safe, but the poison of the Azure Vine is still in his body.

"There is indeed no antidote for the poison of the Azure Vine. Although I can help him isolate the poison to a certain extent, I cannot expel it. At best, he can survive for six months. If his domain and cultivation are damaged in the end, he can still sustain himself for two years with his consciousness."

"But he will surely die two years from now."

"Isn't there any other way? I pressed that person for answers just now, and he said that perhaps we could use the method of fighting poison with poison, using the two poisons on the list of rare poisons, which might force out the Azure Vine." Gu Xiu told him about the method he had just asked for.

Just a pity.

"Impossible." Su Lingling shook her head directly, interrupting Gu Xiu's fantasy:

"None of the top ten poisons on the list of rare poisons are simple. Although the ranking does not mean how terrifying the toxicity is, they are indeed the most intractable, especially the first few."

"The first type is called 'Life is Like a Dream.' The poisoned person will fall into an incredibly realistic and perfect illusion where they can achieve all their wishes. However, in reality, their physical body and cultivation will quietly dissipate as the dream deepens, leaving no trace like morning dew. At least when he becomes the Azure Vine, he leaves something behind. But if it's 'Life is Like a Dream,' he will end up with nothing."

"The second type is called 'Withering Years.' Those poisoned will experience the natural aging process from youth to old age, until their lifespan is exhausted, within just a few breaths. Even their memories will erode, and they will die in a daze. If this poison is combined with his condition, it will only make the invasion of the Azure Vine even faster."

Gu Xiu's heart sank, but Su Lingling suddenly thought of something: "However, the method of fighting poison with poison might indeed be useful."

"Oh?"

"Seventh on the list of rare poisons, the Illusionary Light Butterfly." Su Lingling, as expected of a master of poisons, knew the list of rare poisons like the back of her hand, and said:

"This poison is actually somewhat similar to the Azure Vine. A beautiful illusory butterfly will condense inside the body of the poisoned person. However, it feeds on the host's cultivation, memories, and emotions. When it breaks out of the body, everything of the host will be devoured, and the illusory butterfly will become a treasure containing all its power."

"These two poisons, one that turns a person into a highly poisonous plant and the other into a magical animal, are two completely different forces from the same source. If we want to fight poison with poison, this should be the best choice."

“The Illusionary Light Butterfly…” Gu Xiu frowned, pondered for a while, and then shook his head: “I remember such a thing only exists in legends. Does such a thing really exist in the world?”

"Have!"

"Where?"

"I don't know about that, but I'm certain that the Illusionary Light Butterfly exists. I once saw a poison manual made from one of the wings of an Illusionary Light Butterfly, but that thing is useless against Lü Dongshan. Because the Illusionary Light Butterfly that has completed its evolution is no longer poisonous. To fight poison with poison, you need the dust that the Illusionary Light Butterfly sheds when it transforms. In other words, you need to find an Illusionary Light Butterfly that is still alive and has just transformed from a poisonous creature into a magical artifact."

The illusory butterfly is still transforming...

Gu Xiu frowned. He had never seen this thing even in a single glance over a thousand years, so it should not exist in this world at all.

"The last time the Illusionary Light Butterfly appeared was about ten thousand years ago, but that person has already transcended tribulation and become an immortal. Before that, it was mostly in ancient times, and there has been very little news about it since then," Ye Wentian said, his brows furrowed.

The intelligence network of the Tian Ce Mansion is quite impressive, yet even so, there isn't much information about the Illusionary Light Butterfly.

The old swordsman, however, pondered for a moment before speaking:

"If it's a Phantom Butterfly..."

"I do have some clues."

Ok?

These words made everyone's eyes light up, and all eyes turned to the old sword saint. He didn't hide anything and immediately prepared to speak.

The next moment.

"Boom~!"

A loud bang suddenly erupted, and the chessboard that still enveloped everyone shattered at that moment, revealing the two beautiful figures outside the chessboard who had previously blocked the ten Supreme Immortal Puppets...
