The five female Spider Demons have been confirmed by Ling Yanzi, which is why she sarcastically referred to Qing Yao as "insect." Qing Yao is indeed the elder sister they mentioned.
However, it is astonishing that the supreme Immortal Emperor, the Seasoned Master, would want six Spider Demons to take turns serving him. Moreover, these five Spider Demons are chattering away without any fear of being overheard, clearly indicating that this matter is not a secret within the Immortal Palace.
It is truly unbelievable!
Ling Yanzi had heard about humans and immortals engaging in secretive relationships with their beast companions, but such matters are considered quite disgraceful wherever they occur. In the Human Realm, for instance, Yandao strongly disapproves of such things, so no one in the Demon Sect would dare to act in such a manner. As for the Immortal Sect, they pride themselves on being righteous and place great importance on bloodlines, typically having only one partner. Therefore, there has never been any talk of marrying into Beast Cultivation, let alone taking a horde of Beast Cultivation concubines, especially the lowest-ranked insect-type Demon Fairies.
As the Ancestor of Nine Li Sect and a revered Immortal Emperor, how could the Seasoned Master behave so absurdly? If this conduct were to spread, especially to the lower realms, it would be easy to imagine how Nine Li Sect would lose face.
Is the Seasoned Master really an Immortal Emperor? Is he truly the esteemed Ancestor of Nine Li Sect? Ling Yanzi's heart filled with doubt; she could hardly believe her ears.
At that moment, Qing Yao floated in with a sway. Upon seeing her younger sisters squabbling over jealousy, she immediately scolded them: "Focus on important matters! Why are you discussing this? Is Ling Yanzi drunk?"
"Yes, sister!" the five Spider Demons replied in unison.
"Good. Move him to the Immortal Emperor; he has been waiting impatiently," Qing Yao instructed.
Then Ling Yanzi felt herself being lifted; icy fingers brushed against her cheek as someone murmured, "What a shame for such a good-looking face; he is quite handsome. But no matter how handsome he is, after today he will be drained into an empty shell. Hmm, it seems my collection of Celestial Skin has just increased."
Celestial Skin! Drained! The Immortal Emperor has been waiting impatiently!
Hearing these words filled Ling Yanzi with horror. Unable to contain herself any longer, she jumped up and grabbed Qing Yao by the neck. The Five Elements Spiritual Power surged through her body and instantly sealed Qing Yao's Demon Baby.
The five Spider Demons at the corner of the hall were startled; their expressions changed as they prepared to rescue their elder sister. However, before they could act, a purple shadow flashed before them—Ling Yanzi had already arrived in front of them. A powerful force pierced into their bodies, causing all five demons to become immobilized and unable to move.
Ling Yanzi tightened her grip on Qing Yao's neck and quickly formulated a plan. With a fierce glare, she commanded, "No sound! Take me to your residence now; I want to see what you call Celestial Skin. If you make any sudden moves, I will kill you on the spot! You must know very well that I have this capability!"
Qing Yao's eyes bulged in fear, her face turning pale, truly living up to her name.
Ling Yanzi loosened her grip slightly, and Qing Yao immediately nodded repeatedly, her calves cramping.
"Let's go!" Ling Yanzi whispered sharply, urging Qing Yao to lead the way.
This was done to find evidence.
Ever since they left the Ascension Pool, Ling Yanzi felt that everything in this celestial realm was very strange. However, for over three thousand years, from the moment she embarked on the path of immortality, the celestial realm had been regarded as the highest existence, the ultimate destination for all cultivators. This concept had been deeply ingrained in her mind. Even though everything felt odd now, Ling Yanzi still had her reservations. Therefore, leaving the lives of these five Spider Demons behind could serve as a backup plan for herself. She decided to wait until she saw the so-called "Celestial Skin."
After binding the five Spider Demons tightly and hiding them under the Immortal Emperor's grand jade table, Ling Yanzi immediately urged Qing Yao to move.
Once again exiting the massive Garden of the Imperial Palace, they turned left and right until they reached the left side of Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Along the way, aside from a few weak Demon Fairies hidden deep within the flowering trees, they encountered no celestial beings. The more Ling Yanzi thought about it, the more alarmed she became. She simply could not understand what was happening in this celestial realm; why were there no proper celestial beings? Could it really be as Qing Yao had said earlier—that all the celestial beings had been killed and drained by the Immortal Emperor and these Spider Demons, turning into some kind of Celestial Skin?
As they walked, Qing Yao began to stop. She couldn't speak now and could only point to a palace ahead, indicating that it was her residence.
Ling Yanzi's eyes shifted as she picked up Qing Yao and leaped into that celestial palace from the side wall. Inside, it indeed looked like a Fairy's residence; there were yaoquin, a consort couch, and a dressing table—everything was present—yet there wasn't even a single low-level cleaning Demon Fairy around, which saved her quite a bit of trouble. However, Ling Yanzi did not see any sign of what Qing Yao referred to as Celestial Skin. With her fingers digging deep into Qing Yao's neck skin, she whispered fiercely, "Where is Celestial Skin? I want to see it now!"
The Spider Demon trembled and pointed behind a large red gauze curtain. Ling Yanzi turned her around and pulled back the curtain but found nothing again. Furious in her heart, Ling Yanzi pressed harder with her fingers and growled, "Do you dare lie to me? Do you believe I will directly absorb your soul? Don't think that I, Demon Sect Leader Yandao Demon Lord, am easy to deal with!" With a swift motion of her finger, blood splattered as she tore open a long gash on Qing Yao's hard-earned human skin.
Qing Yao cried out in pain as tears streamed down her face, trembling as she pointed toward a corner of the wall.
Ling Yanzi's Divine Consciousness swept over there; after a moment's contemplation, she pried off a golden lamp from the corner.
With a crackling sound, a staircase leading downward appeared. Standing at the entrance of the passageway, Ling Yanzi felt a chill run down her spine.
She could sense faint traces of Qing Yao’s aura on the stairs, indicating that she often came up and down here. But when her Divine Consciousness continued to probe further downwards, an extremely ominous feeling surged into her heart. Ling Yanzi felt a shiver run through her body; unable to endure any longer, she grabbed Qing Yao and leaped into the secret chamber below. Instantly, Ling Yanzi clenched her fists unconsciously; the Spider Demon had already rolled its eyes in her grasp. Ignoring everything else, Ling Yanzi's urgency and anger were beyond description.
The secret room was a hundred feet long and wide, with the walls and the numerous White Jade Tables below covered in smooth human skins. There were probably around a hundred of them! These skins had complete facial features and hair, still retaining the appearance of their former selves. There were beautiful women, strong men, with skin tones ranging from snow white to ivory and bronze, each one lifelike, as if they were alive before. They were all hung and displayed, exuding a strong aura of celestial spirit despite not knowing how many years they had been dead.
It was truly Celestial Skin!
Even the Demon Sect Leader Yandao Demon Lord, who had dominated the world for Three Thousand Years, had never seen such a terrifying sight. The most shocking part was that they were all once immortals, but now only their skins remained! Ling Yanzi felt a chill of sweat at that moment. He thought that if he hadn't been vigilant and hadn't drunk that Strange "Immortal's Drunkenness," he might have ended up with his own skin hanging here shortly after.
With a quick glance, Ling Yanzi gritted his teeth in anger. Without saying a word, he smashed Qing Yao's head with a slap and crushed the small Demon Baby into powder. Then, suppressing his discomfort, he began to collect the Celestial Skin.
This was the evidence Ling Yanzi was looking for. If the Immortal Emperor was secretly colluding, this would serve as evidence to rally the Immortal Assembly against him. If this was an open murder of immortals, it would also be evidence. Ling Yanzi planned to use these Celestial Skins as leverage to protect his own life. After all, Ling Yanzi knew very well that he could not defeat the Seasoned Master Immortal Emperor with his current cultivation.
Halfway through collecting the skins, Ling Yanzi paused. A terrifyingly powerful aura surged from Fairy Lake, instantly scanning the entire celestial palace.
The Seasoned Master must have realized something was wrong. Ling Yanzi thought bitterly that he should have decisively destroyed those five Spider Demons to buy some time. He quickly formed a seal, drawing over a hundred pieces of Celestial Skin into his Youxian Pillow. Ling Yanzi immediately dashed out of the secret room and flew towards the palace exit without looking back.
However, just after flying past three or five grand halls, Ling Yanzi felt a jolt throughout his body. It was as if he had sunk into a swamp, moving sluggishly. The Immortal Emperor Seasoned Master had already discovered him; an overwhelming pressure instantly locked onto Ling Yanzi's body. Following that, the powerful aura rushed toward him like lightning.
He had been discovered!
Ling Yanzi felt a surge of panic but stood still in place, deep in thought. Moments later, his eyes lit up; then his figure suddenly became ethereal and gradually dissipated like a wisp of smoke in the air.
At the same time, the rapidly approaching Immortal Emperor lost track of his aura.
“Ling Yanzi!” The Immortal Emperor soon discovered Qing Yao's shattered corpse and let out an enraged roar that echoed through the celestial palace.
The Immortal Emperor immediately rushed back to Lingxiao Treasure Hall. About a moment later, countless figures began to pour out from Lingxiao Treasure Hall like flowing water, soaring into the sky. Approximately a hundred people formed teams and started searching the entire celestial palace in an orderly manner.
Ling Yanzi hid in an extremely secretive spot watching this scene unfold, feeling astonished because he was certain that there hadn't been this many immortals in Lingxiao Treasure Hall just moments ago! However, he wasn't panicked because these immortals had cultivation levels similar to those guarding the gates—only mid to late Nascent Soul stage—mere small fry. Even in groups, Ling Yanzi still looked down on them. After all, he was now a legitimate immortal undergoing Tribulation to ascend; although he couldn't match the Immortal Emperor Seasoned Master, dealing with these minor characters was more than sufficient for him.
Ling Yanzi hid in the shadows, observing the movements of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. At that moment, he saw the Fairy who had just emerged from the Ascension Pool riding her phoenix again, flying overhead towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Her expression was cold and her gaze was devoid of emotion. Ling Yanzi suddenly recalled the conversation he had overheard among the five Spider Demons and immediately confirmed in his heart that she was the Immortal Emperor's consort, Fairy Yao Guang.
Ling Yanzi's Divine Consciousness quietly probed forward but retreated as soon as she sensed it.
Indeed, she was a true immortal, but her cultivation level was still quite low, roughly equivalent to the Late Stage Peak of Nascent Soul. Ling Yanzi's mind raced as a bold plan formed.
As the Fairy was about to fly over his head, Ling Yanzi suddenly leaped into the air, soaring towards the phoenix. Before the Fairy could react, he stealthily transformed his palm into a blade and pressed it against her head.
Ling Yanzi ominously transmitted his voice, "If you don't want to die, take me out of here!"
The Fairy's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her ice-cold demeanor. A mocking smile appeared on her icy red lips as she transmitted back, "You are the one who killed Qing Yao and just ascended?"
