Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady

The gloomy wind moans, desolate rocks crumble, and the slow-moving black fog, like the Nine Nether's fiery glow, envelops the entire world.

Dark rivers and sinister peaks stand like fierce beasts, baring their fangs, fully displaying their menace.

The eerie atmosphere feels like the hands of demons reaching from all directions, attempting to devour you. The gusts of wind seem like knives in the hands of demons, fiercely slashing towards you.

As Tangyu steps into the Nine Nether Secret Realm, he can't help but raise his brow slightly: "I didn't expect the Mystic Spirit Continent to have such a place. The eerie winds here can kill an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator, and even Zifu Realm cultivators face certain dangers. The Taoism Cultivation civilization on this continent far surpasses Earth by countless times. No wonder such a rare artifact as the Four Directions Contemplation Map can appear here. I must thoroughly explore this Nine Nether Secret Realm."

The entire Nine Nether Secret Realm is not small, with an area spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Even the outer regions can't be easily entered without the strength of the Golden Core Realm. Venturing deeper poses great danger even to Golden Core cultivators. Roaming freely here is something even Zifu Realm Great Power wouldn't dare attempt.

However, this place poses no threat to Tangyu, so he walks freely, carefully examining.

In a gorge resembling a tiger's maw, Tangyu's gaze shifts as he suddenly spots a flower with nine black petals growing amidst the eerie winds.

"The Nine Nether Flower, a specialty of the Nine Nether Secret Realm. Though not reaching the level of an Immortal Treasure, it is still a rare gem of the world. A single Nine Nether Flower is indeed very precious. When combined with certain Spiritual Medicines, it can even raise a Mystic Law Realm cultivator to the Golden Core Realm. Value-wise, it's roughly half that of a Jinyang Pill. It seems my luck is quite good." Tangyu smirked as he approached the Nine Nether Flower.

The Nine Nether Flower is indeed a rare treasure on the Mystic Spirit Continent.

As Tangyu extends his hand to pick the Nine Nether Flower, he notices a cold flash shooting towards him—a chilling arrow rushing at him like a whirlwind. With a swift move, Tangyu dodges aside. The power of this arrow could pose a threat to a Mystic Law Realm Ninth Layer cultivator. Tangyu had already sensed four figures approaching him but chose not to pay them heed. Unexpectedly, they've made a move due to the lure of treasure.

It is said that humans die for wealth, just as birds die for food, an unchanging truth wherever you go.

Tangyu remains composed, glancing over. Swiftly, four figures leap out, surrounding Tangyu. Judging by their attire, they all seem somewhat reputable. Their ages appear to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven, with one in the Golden Core Realm First Layer, and the other three in the Mystic Law Realm Ninth Layer.

Three wield swords, while one is an archer—the one who had shot at Tangyu earlier, merely a Mystic Law Realm Ninth Layer cultivator.

For the Mystic Spirit Continent, having such cultivation at this age is indeed impressive. Tangyu, however, is not angered, calmly gazing at the four individuals. Without any grievances, Tangyu doesn't wish to kill easily.

The archer aims his bow at Tangyu, saying, "Sir, don't reach for things that aren't yours—lest you get burned."

Tangyu smirks slightly, chuckling lightly: "The principle of first come, first served—don't you understand? I saw this Nine Nether Flower first, so naturally, it belongs to me."

"Heh, seeing it first makes it yours?" The Golden Core Realm man sneered: "So, does that mean anything you see is yours? If you'd already held it in your hands, I'd begrudgingly agree. But the object isn't in your possession yet; how can you claim it as yours?"

Tangyu continues to smile faintly: "So, you're saying you want to rob me?"

The Golden Core Realm man shook his finger, saying: "No, no, no, you've completely misunderstood. It's not robbery; this Nine Nether Flower was meant to be ours. Only we deserve to possess it. As for you, if you have any sense, you should leave quickly. Otherwise, if it comes to a fight, you won't be able to handle the consequences, right? So, why bother? Everyone wants treasure, but without the requisite strength, one must have some self-awareness. Otherwise, inviting trouble—how unfortunate?"

Tangyu smirked: "Your tone, I don't like it. How about this? Since we all saw it, I won't bully you. Let one of you come out and spar with me—whoever wins gets the flower. How does that sound? Seems fair, right?"

Seeing Tangyu's confident demeanor, the Golden Core Realm man's eyes flashed with a hint of malice. He couldn't quite gauge Tangyu, unsure of his realm. However, daring to enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm must mean possessing some power. At least a Mystic Law Realm Ninth Layer expert, possibly even a Golden Core Realm cultivator like himself. In which case, he wouldn't be fully confident alone.

But with four attacking together, victory is assured. Given such considerations, he knew the obvious choice.

The Golden Core Realm man laughed: "Fairness? Don't you think your words are absurd? We have the advantage; why settle for one-on-one when we can attack together? What's fair in that? I'll say once more—leave this place, the Nine Nether Flower is ours. If you don't go, well, don't blame us for being harsh. Friend, don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Tangyu grew slightly annoyed. Indeed, just as trees desire calm, the wind won't cease. Initially, he didn't want to trouble these four individuals. After all, there were no grievances, and seeing treasure can easily make one's eyes green. If these four were willing to resolve the issue fairly, Tangyu would let them be.

Sadly, these four are clearly blinded by greed, despised by Tangyu.

"Scram!" Tangyu coldly spat out a word, then ignored the four men, turning around to pluck the Nine Nether Flower and hold it in his hand.

"Arrogant!"

The four men were also enraged by Tangyu's actions. The archer shot another arrow with a cold gleam at Tangyu. However, Tangyu paid no attention and casually swatted the arrow onto the ground. Meanwhile, his other hand had already plucked the Nine Nether Flower and smoothly tucked it into the Qiankun Bag.

Tangyu's action made the gaze of the four men turn a few shades darker, their brows mildly furrowing.

"He has the power of the Golden Core Realm; no wonder he's so arrogant. Hmph, even if you're in the Golden Core Realm, you don't have the right to be so conceited. Kid, since you are so oblivious, don't blame us for being rude. If you obediently hand over the Nine Nether Flower now, I might just spare your life." The man from the Golden Core Realm was utterly angry, gripping the Heavy Sword as he glared at Tangyu, unleashing his entire aura.

The other three also prepared for battle. Although the three of them were only in the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, their strength was indeed very strong. If they joined forces, their power would be on par with the man from the Golden Core Realm. The four of them working together had no fear of a Golden Core Realm Second Layer expert.

Therefore, they had such confidence.

Tangyu slightly raised his eyebrows: "Now that the Nine Nether Flower is in my possession, it's mine. Are you planning to commit murder and robbery?"

The man from the Golden Core Realm snorted coldly: "Murder and robbery? Yes, you're right, that's exactly what we're planning now. If you don't want to die, obediently hand over the item, or else today next year will be your death anniversary. Treasure needs a life to claim it and a life to use it too. Why risk your life for a mere treasure?"

Tangyu nodded: "You're right, risking your life for a mere treasure, why bother?"

Hearing Tangyu's words, the four men secretly rejoiced, thinking that intimidating him a bit would suffice, with no need for a bloody battle. If they could get the Nine Nether Flower without fighting, it would be ideal. After all, the opponent was also a strong character, not easy to kill. But for the Nine Nether Flower, they're willing to take the risk.

However, Tangyu's subsequent words genuinely caught the four off guard.

"So, you should just scram. I'm in a good mood today and really don't want to kill anyone. Leave before I change my mind. I won't say the same thing twice. If you insist on courting death, I'll gladly help you."

Such arrogant words truly infuriated the four men; no one had dared talk to them this way.

"Courting death!" The four charged forward, naturally giving it their all, transforming four streaks into a killing formation attacking Tangyu fiercely.

But such strength seemed ridiculously weak in Tangyu's eyes, who didn't even bother to make a move. Before they could reach a yard in front of Tangyu, an invisible energy barrier stopped them making them feel like they're stuck in a mire. Their bodies couldn't advance an inch further.

Not only were they unable to advance an inch, but their bodies were also fixed in place, unable to retract. Their entire bodies were bound. This feeling made the four men's hearts leap with terror, their faces changing dramatically, and their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Tangyu, unable to understand what was happening. Yet, they were certain it was related to this young man.

What exactly is happening?

What's going on?

This young man standing there, clearly not making any gestures, how did the four of them become firmly bound?

Tangyu's gaze swept over the four men, and this sweep made them feel like they were facing death itself. Instantly, they realized that the binding force was becoming scarier, with power enveloping them, threatening to crush them. This feeling was terrifying.

"No—no—no—"

"Spare us, fellow cultivator, spare us."

"No—no—no—Respected elder, spare us, we've erred; please, elder, stop!"

The four finally realized they had encountered a master. The youth in front of them couldn't possibly be an ordinary Golden Core realm cultivator, clearly a master. Perhaps he was an elder who had used rejuvenation techniques. Angering such a master would be their end. So, the four frantically begged for mercy. But their pleas had no effect at all; the oppressive force kept increasing.

They sensed they would soon be crushed to death by this oppressive power. Such a death was too stifling and terrifying.
