36: Tonight, I will help you... ascend to immortality.

"I have the method for Immortal Ascension."

Chu Ye admitted frankly, "But this is exclusive confidential information, not for outsiders. Want to know? Simple,"

The dark red blood pact scroll appeared at his fingertips. "Sign it, acknowledge me as your master, and obey my orders for all eternity. Judge for yourself whether it's true or false; looking at Ni Chang and the Witch Queen, you should know these words are not empty."

The Fox Immortal fell into silence again.

This time, she didn't resist. Instead, she raised her head, her icy blue eyes staring straight at Chu Ye as she asked an extremely pragmatic question: "Can you guarantee that you will 100% let me achieve Immortal Ascension?"

"If you can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, I... can sign."

Chu Ye looked at her nearly cold expression, weighing "freedom" and "dignity" on a scale and unhesitatingly leaning toward the side of "Immortal Ascension."

He felt a sense of admiration in his heart: This career-mindedness, this drive to use any means necessary to achieve her goals—as expected, the Monster Realm's overachiever's way of thinking was a bit different from humans. In her eyes, everything was probably tradable as long as she could reach the end of the Immortal Dao.

Looking at this cold and noble "career-oriented strong woman" who sought nothing but the Great Dao, Chu Ye's desire for conquest grew even stronger. Making such an existence bow her head would bring a greater sense of accomplishment.

"I can."

He nodded with a smile, without hesitation. "I, Chu Ye, hereby swear a Heavenly Dao Oath: If the Fox Immortal signs this blood pact and serves me as her master, I will surely help her achieve the Immortal Dao. If I violate this, let the Heavenly Dao condemn me."

The oath was established, and a faint resonance echoed between heaven and earth.

Seeing this, the Fox Immortal no longer had the slightest hesitation.

With a slight thought, that mysterious Incarnation that had been silent actually overlapped with her main body. Amidst the flowing light, the two souls completely fused into one.

Subsequently, with her even more powerful soul sense after the Fusion, she imprinted an indelible mark on that blood-colored contract.

The blood pact was established, its brilliance withdrawing inward.

This former ruler of the northern territory, the Fox Immortal who had planned for ten thousand years, henceforth became a blood pact servant under Chu Ye.

Now that the contract was formed, the hazy layer of obscuring Immortal Qi around her body also slowly dissipated, revealing her true appearance.

Icy skin and jade bones, a peerless countenance.

She possessed an ice-like coldness and clarity, yet between the movements of her eyes, the natural charm unique to the Sky Fox Bloodline faintly appeared.

Those icy blue eyes now lacked the indifference of looking down upon all living beings and gained a bit of complexity, yet they remained as clear as a polar abyss.

A plain white robe wrapped around her exquisite and graceful curves, the fullness of which was breathtaking; the two contradictory temperaments of coldness and seductiveness blended perfectly within her.

Chu Ye admired her for a moment before fulfilling his promise: "The method to help you achieve Immortal Ascension is actually not difficult; just perform Dual Cultivation with me. I have a set of Immortal Rank Dual Cultivation secret techniques, supplemented by special Medicinal Pills, to guarantee your breakthrough."

Hearing the words "Dual Cultivation," a very subtle ripple finally flashed through the Fox Immortal's cold eyes, but it returned to calm in just an instant.

She nodded as if accepting a necessary Cultivation procedure.

Chu Ye was quite satisfied with her "sensibleness" and immediately transmitted that profound Dual Cultivation secret technique into her Sea of Consciousness.

"Meditate on it well, and go bathe and change first," the corners of his mouth curled slightly, his tone natural. "Tonight, I will help you... ascend to immortality."

The Fox Immortal nodded slightly and turned to leave, her white robe trailing on the ground. Her back was still straight and proud, as if what was about to happen was not physical intimacy, but a solemn ceremony leading to the Great Dao.

Night fell as scheduled, and the Fox Immortal came with the moon. The smell of blood around her had been washed away, and she still wore that cold white robe, which further accentuated her graceful figure; her curves flickered in and out of view as she walked, carrying an unconscious temptation.

Chu Ye's gaze was honest and direct, admiring the peerless beauty of this "trophy" and "partner."

He didn't say much, only signaling her to remove her outer robe. The Fox Immortal's expression was calm, as if this were just a necessary preparation before Cultivating. When that figure, capable of making all things lose their color, was presented without reservation...

Satisfaction flashed in Chu Ye's eyes. He took her hand and led her, step by step, toward the bed.

At the start of the Dual Cultivation, the atmosphere was unexpectedly "professional." The Fox Immortal followed the Cultivation Technique's operation entirely, her mind focused and her posture composed, without a hint of an ordinary woman's shyness.

Beneath her cold exterior, it seemed as if a hot and pure energy was contained, treating this matter entirely as a solemn ceremony leading to the Great Dao.

"Very good, you have a great research spirit."

Chu Ye naturally wouldn't be polite. Various exquisite Joyful Union secret techniques, combined with the top-tier Dual Cultivation methods produced by the System, were deployed in turns.

Rather than saying the two were in a romantic entanglement, it was more like they were conducting a Peak "academic exchange" and "practical verification" concerning the Great Dao, physical strength, and skill.

Seven days and seven nights, without rest.

In the end, even though the Fox Immortal's will was as iron, under the comprehensive offensive of Chu Ye—the "pay-to-win player" and "technical Great Master"—she inevitably lost her strength and was defeated, her coldness gone as she leaned softly in his arms.

[Ding! Successfully conquered the Northern Territory Fox Immortal (Twin Souls in One Body)! Distributing rewards...]

The System's notification sound was like heavenly music, followed by a dazzling array of explosive rewards: two immortal realm breakthrough pills, boxes of Emperor Realm breakthrough pills and nine revolutions sublimation pills, and even some special items.

[1. World Seed: Heavenly Ice Spirit x1]: A Heavenly Spirit Body can serve as the Law of Extreme Ice, nurturing extremely cold things; progress in the Dao of Weapons will be a thousand miles a day.

[2. Immortal Artifact: immortal binding rope]: Comes with tracking, Seal, and annihilation effects; even an Immortal would find it hard to escape.

[3. God-Fiend Artifact: Blood Demon's Tear]: Contains the Qi of gods and demons from the birth of heaven and earth; it can only be used once. The power it erupts with makes even gods and demons fear, and heaven and earth lose their color.

[4. Immortal Artifact: heavenly silkworm robe * 10]: A one-time use item that can block one fatal blow; it will be automatically destroyed after use. Please use with caution.

[5. Demonic Path Scripture x1]: The Demonic Path is a martial art developed by the Human Race that exists independently of the Heavenly Dao. As the best martial art among the "one that escaped" out of the fifty paths of heaven's evolution, it is broad and profound, but caution is required when learning and comprehending the Dao.

The richness of the harvest was comparable to taking down a small-scale dungeon.

More importantly, his cultivation had actually reached the Yin and Yang Realm.

Chu Ye held the soft warmth in his arms, his fingertips brushing over that delicate skin, a sense of pleasure and achievement from the conquest spontaneously arising.

He kept his promise, taking out that glowing immortal realm breakthrough pill and placing it in the Fox Immortal's palm.

Looking at the Immortal Pill she had dreamed of in her hand, the Fox Immortal's icy blue eyes shone brilliantly.

She rarely softened her posture, leaning against Chu Ye's chest, her voice less cold and hard than usual: "Release my Restriction... I need to adjust to my best state before I can undergo the tribulation."

Chu Ye raised an eyebrow. Seeing her take the initiative to request something was rare, so he felt like teasing her: "That depends... on whether you can satisfy me."

The Fox Immortal understood his hint.

In the next moment, this cold and lofty former ruler of the northern territory proactively kissed him, as passionate as fire and with a natural allure, displaying the seductiveness within the Sky Fox Bloodline to its fullest.

Who would have thought that the "career-oriented female Immortal" who only had the Great Dao in her heart would have such a contrasting demeanor on the bed?

"The Old Ancestors didn't lie to me..."

While enjoying the ultimate pleasure, Chu Ye vaguely remembered a certain Senior who had brought ruin to countries and people. "Foxes, as expected... have a unique flavor."

Another seven days of fierce battle.

The Fox Immortal almost greedily absorbed the cultivation progress and Physique adjustments brought by the Dual Cultivation, and her state finally reached Perfection.

The moment he swallowed the Immortal Realm Breakthrough Pill， A terrifying divine might gathered within the Hundred Phoenix Diagram.。

Because her killing Karma was heavy, her Dao foundation was cluttered, and she had no great Luck to protect her, the power of this Immortal Tribulation was far more violent and dangerous than when the Empress and the Witch Queen underwent their tribulations.

The tribulation clouds rolled, and just the first few bolts already made the space within the diagram tremble incessantly.

Relying on her powerful Divine Path and resilient will, the Fox Immortal forced herself to endure until the eighth bolt. She was already teetering, her Immortal body covered in cracks, and her aura withered to the extreme.

She looked up at the sky, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger, as if questioning the Heavenly Dao for being so unfair.

When the ninth bolt, the final destructive killing tribulation carrying overwhelming Karma, came crashing down, the Fox Immortal closed her eyes, her heart filled only with despair.

"Tsk, I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
