Investing In My Crippled Heavenly Empress Wife Gets 100,000x Returns

Somewhere in the Secret Realm, in a strange woodland shrouded in misty rosy light, several figures dressed in the attire of the Fengyun Holy Land gathered.

One of the lean-faced Elders was excitedly reporting the news he had just learned to another person.

This person was none other than the current Holy Master of Fengyun Holy Land, Xuan Yun.

”Holy Master! It is absolutely true!” the Elder said with an excited look.

”That Chen Chuan actually killed all three people from the True Dragon Nest with his First Level of the Void Breaking Realm cultivation.”

”Now, a powerhouse from the True Dragon Nest is enraged and has vowed to flatten the Primordial Holy Land, using their blood as a sacrifice for the heroic spirits of the True Dragon Nest.”

Upon hearing this, Holy Master Xuan Yun was first stunned, but then his eyes burst with uncontrollable joy.

He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the forest: ”Good! Good! Good! Hahaha! Heaven is helping me, truly heaven is helping me!”

The four Grand Elders surrounding him also showed gloating smiles at this moment, looking at each other with eyes full of pleasure.

”Primordial Holy Land, humph, relying on having a Saint with the Chaos Divine Body, their arrogance has become increasingly rampant lately,” a rosy-faced Grand Elder sneered. ”Now they’ve kicked a steel plate and provoked a behemoth from the Upper Realm; they deserve this calamity!”

Another thin Grand Elder chimed in:

”Indeed. Our Fengyun Holy Land has fought openly and secretly with Taichu for many years, but their strength was truly not to be underestimated, making it difficult to suppress them.”

”Now that the True Dragon Nest wants to take action, it is exactly what we wish to see.”

”Once the Primordial Holy Land falls, who else can compete with our Fengyun Holy Land for the title of the number one power on the Sacred Martial Continent?”

Holy Master Xuan Yun nodded, his face brimming with self-satisfaction:

”These words are exactly what I’m thinking. With the powerhouses of the True Dragon Nest taking action, there is no way the Primordial Holy Land can survive. At that time, the landscape of the Sacred Martial Continent should change.”

At the thought that the kid Chen Chuan now actually possessed Void Breaking Realm cultivation, Holy Master Xuan Yun felt afraid.

Because the speed of Chen Chuan’s cultivation improvement was too terrifying, unheard of.

Even possessing the eternally invincible Chaos Divine Body, one shouldn’t have such an abnormal cultivation speed.

Holy Master Xuan Yun didn’t know what secret was hidden within Chen Chuan, but it was definitely the key to Chen Chuan’s Breakthrough.

Such a person must absolutely not be allowed to continue growing.

Just then, a Grand Elder who had been silent with gloomy eyes suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse:

”Holy Master, Elders, since the True Dragon Nest is going to deal a death blow to the Primordial Holy Land, why don’t we add more fuel to the fire?”

”Oh?” Holy Master Xuan Yun’s eyes flashed. ”Explain.”

A cold light flashed in the gloomy Elder’s eyes:

”That little beast Chen Chuan killed our Holy Land’s Saint, Lu Yun, destroying our hope of rising. This enmity is irreconcilable.”

”Primordial Holy Land is about to face a catastrophe and will surely have no time to look after the Chen Family.”

”Why don’t we take this Opportunity to send people to Qingya City and uproot that Chen Family entirely?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were first slightly startled, but then their faces showed signs of interest and cruelty.

Holy Master Xuan Yun pondered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc:

”Good idea! The debt for Lu Yun must be repaid.”

”Chen Chuan is doomed to die, but before he dies, letting him know that his Chen Family was wiped out because of him—his expression will surely be wonderful.”

Grins appeared on everyone’s faces.

After leaving the Secret Realm, the Primordial Holy Land would surely face retaliation from the True Dragon Nest powerhouses.

And their Fengyun Holy Land could send people to destroy the Chen Family to vent their hatred.

The people of the Fengyun Holy Land seemed to have already seen the destruction of the Primordial Holy Land and the Chen Family’s blood flowing like a river.

And with the beautiful future of the Fengyun Holy Land dominating the continent, bursts of triumphant low laughter echoed through the woods...

Meanwhile, in a deserted place far from the valley where the earth-shaking battle had broken out,

Chen Chuan sat cross-legged. His Aura was slightly unstable, but his eyes remained bright and sharp.

He was taking stock of the Storage Rings he had gained from this fight.

His Divine Sense probed in, and the first things that caught his eye were mountains of spirit crystals and some high-grade Spiritual Plant Materials.

For these, Chen Chuan only gave a cursory glance. His attention was mainly focused on high-level Medicinal Pills and Source Stones.

”Three Grade Eight pills, Dragon Blood Bone-Tempering Pills.”

”Five Grade Eight Heaven-Returning Life-Prolonging Pills.”

”One Grade Nine pill, a Void Breaking Creation Pill! Pity, no Saint Pills.”

Chen Chuan counted the pills and nodded slightly.

Coming from the True Dragon Nest, their wealth was indeed substantial.

And this Grade Nine Void Breaking Creation Pill would be of great benefit for his future Breakthroughs in Realm.

Next, his mind fell upon a pile of translucent stone blocks in the corner of the Storage Ring that emitted dense Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

”Source Stones! Another thousand catties!” Chen Chuan felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Adding the thousand-plus catties he had previously obtained from Dragon Son, his total amount of Source Stones had now exceeded two thousand catties.

According to the System’s exchange rate, this was equivalent to over 2.2 billion gold tickets.

This was a massive fortune that would make countless Cultivators green with envy.

Chen Chuan calculated silently.

He was currently at the First Level of the Void Breaking Realm. Relying on the Chaos Divine Body and his many trump cards, his combat power was comparable to the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Void Breaking Realm.

If he consumed gold tickets to raise his Realm, each level would require one billion gold tickets. Exhausting over two thousand catties of Source Stones would at most raise him to the Third Level of the Void Breaking Realm.

To break through the Void Breaking Realm and step into the Transcendence Realm, he would need a full 50 billion gold tickets, equivalent to 50,000 catties of Source Stones.

The current Source Stones, if used to raise his Realm by one or two levels, would increase his strength but wouldn’t be a qualitative change.

Instead, keeping them on him to replenish consumption at critical moments or to find opportunities to exchange for more resources in the future was more cost-effective.

”I’ll keep them for now, for a rainy day.”

Chen Chuan quickly made a decision and properly stored the Source Stones and pills.

Just as he was preparing to further regulate his breathing and recover from the consumption of condensing the Four-Colored Fire Lotus.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the entire Secret Realm heaven and earth shook slightly.

The next moment, one could see brilliant pillars of light soaring into the sky from all directions of the Secret Realm.

Each pillar of light emitted strong energy fluctuations and enticing treasure Aura.

Red clouds reflected in the sky, with thousands of auspicious colors, as if countless rare treasures had appeared at the same time.

”Treasures, it’s the glow of treasures appearing.”

”My god! So many, in the east, south, west, and north.”

”Quick! Go and grab them!”

”This Miracle Secret Realm truly lives up to its reputation; it’s so rich!”

The previously somewhat quiet Secret Realm instantly boiled over.

Countless Cultivators located throughout the Secret Realm,

Whether they had just woken up from secluded cultivation,

Were fighting with Demonic Beasts,

Or were exploring ruins,

They were all attracted by this sudden sky-filling treasure light.

They one after another dropped what they were doing and turned into streaks of light, frantically flying toward the nearest treasure light.

Chen Chuan was also startled by this sudden sight.

He looked at the countless pillars of light that painted the Secret Realm’s sky in a riot of colors, and a flash of amazement passed through his eyes.

”As expected of the Miracle Secret Realm, treasures of this scale appearing simultaneously is truly unprecedented and unheard of.”

He sighed softly; Opportunities truly were everywhere.

However, facing these dazzling treasure lights, Chen Chuan did not blindly rush toward the nearest one like other Cultivators.

He took a deep breath, and within his eyes, a faint clear light flowed.

Eye of Wisdom, open!

In his vision, those soaring treasure lights were no longer just dazzling light.

The intensity of those lights, the Dao charms contained within, and the degree of resonance with the Laws of heaven and earth began to show clear differences.

Most of the treasure lights, although bright, were mixed in essence and limited in energy level.

Only a few contained divine brilliance and natural Dao charms, faintly connected to some Origin deep within the Secret Realm.

After a moment, Chen Chuan’s gaze locked onto a pillar of light in the northwest that wasn’t the thickest but had the oldest and deepest Aura.

”That’s the place!”

He no longer hesitated. Spiritual power circulated in his body, and his figure instantly turned into a blurred afterimage.

He sped toward the location of that chaotic pillar of light in the northwest.

He had a premonition that the treasure there was the key to this Secret Realm journey...

Ji Siyu wore an unremarkable grey cloak, the large hood completely concealing her peerless face and unique identity.

When she arrived at the entrance of the Miracle Secret Realm,

The place was still bustling with people. Various streaks of light were constantly falling from the sky, and countless Cultivators harboring dreams of Opportunity scrambled to pour into the vortex-like entrance.

No one noticed this silent and lonely figure; she hid within the clamor.

However, beneath her calm exterior, waves of inexpressible emotion were surging in the depths of her Soul.

Since stepping into this area, the summons originating from her Bloodline and Soul had suddenly increased several times over.

It was no longer a vague sensation but had turned into an almost physical pulling force. In the dark, it was as if an invisible hand was gently but firmly guiding her in the direction she should go.

”What exactly is inside?”

Under the cloak, a trace of confusion flashed deep in Ji Siyu’s beautiful eyes.

But more than that, there was an irrepressible curiosity and throb to seek the Origin.

This calling faintly resonated with the profound Cultivation Technique she had inexplicably comprehended not long ago.

She was certain that within this Secret Realm, there was definitely a secret hidden that was closely related to her fate—perhaps an answer, perhaps a destination.

No longer hesitating, she followed the guidance of that mysterious power, blending into the end of the crowd, and stepped into the Miracle Secret Realm.

The scene before her changed. Dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed toward her. In the distance, treasure lights soared into the sky, and the clamor of Cultivators fighting faintly reached her ears.

But none of this could make Ji Siyu stop.

She clearly felt that the summons came from the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

She followed the guidance, skillfully avoiding all routes that might bring her into contact with others.

Sweeping through forests with towering ancient trees and bypassing lakes misty with rosy light, she headed straight into the vast and unknown heart of the Secret Realm.

The surroundings gradually became quiet, leaving only the wail of the wind blowing across the ancient land and the increasingly clear expectation and inquiry in her heart.

The road ahead was unknown, and its fortune or misfortune was uncertain.

But the longing originating from her Soul had left her with no time to care about anything else.

She only knew that there was an answer there that she had to pursue.
