"Jie jie... Host's fortune increased by +100."

"Huh?"

Chu Xiu stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, gazing at the breathtaking snowy scenery of Taisu Peak. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "System, why has my fortune increased for no apparent reason?"

"Jie jie... This system is merely a tool, not omniscient or omnipotent."

Chu Xiu's long, enchanting eyes narrowed slightly.

His originally -18 black fortune had now turned into a normal 82!

After pondering for a moment, he concluded it must be related to reaching the top of the Taisu Tower.

Soon, the flying boat glided over a forest of ice crystals and reached the platform at the summit of Taisu Peak, slowing down as it began to descend.

"Chu Xiu, how do you find the scenery of Taisu Peak?" Old Man Huang asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

Chu Xiu nodded, "The name Taisu truly lives up to its reputation. On this peak, spring, summer, autumn, and winter are all present, vibrant and full of life... It's quite mystical."

"Indeed..." Old Man Huang chuckled proudly.

Chu Xiu smiled outwardly, but his heart was heavy.

Through his observations along the way, Taisu Peak was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

If Chu Xiu's judgment was correct, Taisu Peak was actually an extremely powerful creature, transformed while in slumber!

This... This was truly terrifying.

How tall was Taisu Peak? At least fifty thousand zhang (approximately 150,000 meters) by estimation. The height of the Taisu Tower was already astonishing, yet compared to Taisu Peak, it was like a child.

Such a grand and enormous Taisu Peak was actually a creature in slumber...

This was the foundation of the Holy Land!!

Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. Back then, he had opposed so many Holy Lands and great sects on his own...

Thinking about it made him angry. These Holy Lands and families didn't even take him seriously. In the end, they didn't even reveal their true strength, only sending a mere few dozen Great Saints to hunt him down...

Damn it, you all wait for me.

If the other Holy Lands and great sects knew Chu Xiu's thoughts, they would definitely curse: Do you think a sect's foundation can be mobilized at will? We advise you not to stir up trouble for no reason...

Lost in wild thoughts, the two elders had already led Chu Xiu through an ancient corridor.

The view suddenly opened up, revealing pavilions and towers floating in the air, grand and vast.

Purple energy came from the east, mist and clouds were narrow, countless celestial cranes soared freely among the towers, like a fairyland.

The most shocking sight was at the highest point of Taisu Peak, where a brilliant galaxy thousands of miles long emerged from the void, cascading down like a waterfall, plunging into the abyss of Taisu Peak's cliff.

"My goodness..."

"It's that powerful creature of Taisu Peak, constantly absorbing the power of the stars..."

Chu Xiu was utterly astonished.

Compared to its appetite, his own was not even comparable to an ant.

In the Taisu Hall, Chu Xiu followed the two Lesser Saint elders inside.

At a glance, he saw the master sitting on the Peak Lord's throne, wearing a white feather dress and a bronze fox mask, exuding the aura of a superior.

Their eyes met.

Chu Xiu smiled gently.

Fairy Mengdie shifted her hips back unnaturally.

"Greetings, Cloudmist Peak Lord, Your Holiness, we have brought Chu Xiu," Mo Feiyan said with a slight bow.

As she spoke, Chu Xiu noticed the gentle woman sitting high in the grand hall, on the Bronze Emperor's Throne, wearing a plain white long dress and with long, wavy blue hair.

"The power of a Saint King is truly terrifying..."

Indeed, Chu Xiu was once again shocked.

Upon entering the hall, he subconsciously ignored the dominant presence on the main seat.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but the opponent's strength was so overwhelming, her presence had merged with the heavens and earth. If you didn't know she was in the hall, even face-to-face, you would overlook her...

Just like how people walking on a path wouldn't notice the grass underfoot. The answer is no.

She was in such a state.

"Mm, thank you for your efforts!"

Taisuzi's red lips parted slightly, her voice like celestial music, entering the ears with a soothing power.

Old Man Huang and Mo Feiyan bowed slightly, then took their leave.

From beginning to end, they kept their heads lowered, their expressions fervent.

Chu Xiu looked up at the dominant presence sitting above in the hall.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, a soft demeanor, and long, wavy blue hair. If you looked closely, it seemed as if vibrant planets were growing and thriving between her strands of hair.

Chu Xiu was secretly amazed. Was a Saint King expert really this powerful, almost like the legendary Quasi-Emperor phenomena?

In fact, this was merely the natural phenomenon emitted by Taisuzi cultivating the Taisu Emperor Sutra.

The Taisu Emperor Sutra was the supreme emperor sutra created by Emperor Taisu after becoming a Great Emperor. What is Taisu? The most primitive, the most vital thing is Taisu.

The Taisu Emperor Sutra, also known as the Life Emperor Sutra, is the most vital cultivation technique in the world. Therefore, Taisuzi having such a Quasi-Emperor phenomenon makes sense.

"Ahem..."

Seeing Chu Xiu staring intently at the Holy Lord, Qi Mengdie lightly coughed and scolded, "Rebellious disciple, do not be disrespectful to the Holy Lord."

Her beautiful eyes glared at Chu Xiu.

As if to say, if you want to court death, can you at least release my seal first before doing so?

I don't want to be killed by you, this rebellious disciple.

Chu Xiu snapped back to reality, slightly cupped his hands in salute, and said loudly, "Chu Xiu of Cloudmist Peak, greets Your Holiness..."

Taisuzi nodded slightly. Although her eyes were closed, she could see all things in the world with her mind's eye.

She didn't open her eyes because Chu Xiu's cultivation base was too low. If he met her gaze, he would instantly die, not even leaving behind ashes.

Her red lips parted gently, her voice soft, "To see a disciple who has broken the ancient limit, this sovereign is very pleased."

"Chu Xiu, you are quite impressive."

Qi Mengdie looked at the rebellious disciple standing straight in the center of the hall, feeling incredibly conflicted inside.

As a Great Saint expert, she naturally knew some of the Holy Land's secrets.

The hardest checkpoint to ascend to the 99th level was the 98th level.

Why, from the ancient times to the Age of Fallen Emperors, for a hundred thousand years, had no one in the Taisu Holy Land been able to reach the 99th level of the Taisu Monuments?

Because on the 98th level, you would face Emperor Taisu of the same level, an insurmountable chasm, yet this rebellious disciple of hers had done it.

"Ahem, Your Holiness, you see, I broke our Holy Land's record. Is there a reward?"

Chu Xiu immediately seized the opportunity. If he didn't ask for benefits now, when would he? With benefits in front of him, he didn't care about face.

Qi Mengdie saw this and glared with her beautiful eyes, wanting to scold him again.

She only dared to boss around this rebellious disciple in such situations, knowing that usually... even the fairy master wouldn't dare to resist...

This gave her a strange sense of false authority...

Taisuzi smiled gently and nodded, "That is only right."

"What reward do you want?"

Chu Xiu immediately said, "Disciple would like the Soul-Infant Demon Fruit."

"Ten-Thousand Herb Spirit Milk, Bodhi Divine Flower, any one of them will do..."

Qi Mengdie was so surprised that her red lips parted slightly, thinking, rebellious disciple, your appetite is truly large, worthy of being you!!

Taisuzi's slender brows furrowed slightly, pondering for a long time, "Heaven-and-Earth Rare Treasures, the Holy Land Treasury does have some, but not the three you want."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel disappointed. It made sense; treasures like Heaven-and-Earth Rare Treasures, once obtained by a major force, would be quickly used to enhance strength and wouldn't be stored for long.

Taisuzi's tone shifted, her voice soft, "However, this sovereign can order someone to find one for you, but... I cannot guarantee when it will be found..."

"If you don't want to wait, this sovereign can promise you other rewards."

If I used the Reincarnation Heaven's Lament Twin Seal to control this Holy Lord... As Taisuzi spoke, Chu Xiu thought to himself.

[Damn!! Host, you're amazing, jie jie...]
