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

A deathly coldness was the first sensation after his consciousness returned.

Chen Chuan snapped his eyes open; what met his gaze were no longer the hideous faces of Jun Wuya and the others.

Nor was it the tear-streaked face of Ji Siyu.

Instead, it was an empty, dilapidated, and deathly silent Ice Palace hall.

The smoke and the scent of blood seemed to have been diluted by time, leaving only the smell of stale dust.

He lay on the ground, the cold and hard runic floor beneath him.

”Three days... I’m finally back.”

Chen Chuan whispered, performing a kip-up to stand.

His physical condition was better than ever, even more surging and full than when he had taken the Sacred Pill before his death.

The spiritual energy of the Second Level of the Transcendence Realm surged through his Meridians, brimming with power.

The effect of the Resurrection Card was truly Heaven-Defying; not only did it resurrect him perfectly, but it also seemed to have wiped away all his previous hidden injuries.

He looked around; the hall was empty, with no living creatures left besides the messy traces of battle.

Ji Siyu was no longer on the altar.

The others were also nowhere to be seen, not even that cowardly yet somewhat loyal rascal dragon, Ao Kun.

”Si Yu...” Chen Chuan’s heart tightened suddenly.

His greatest concern was Ji Siyu’s safety.

After his death at that time, the scene must have been extremely chaotic.

However, he quickly forced himself to calm down and analyze the situation.

Jun Wuya and the other two had been left with only half their lives by his two Four-Colored Fire Lotuses; their condition was at its absolute worst.

Meanwhile, Gu Yue’s group had returned and were in perfect condition.

Given her status and the power at her side, if she wanted to protect Ji Siyu, Jun Wuya’s defeated remnants certainly couldn’t stop her.

”She was likely taken away by Gu Yue.”

Chen Chuan muttered to himself, his heart relaxing halfway.

Although he hadn’t had much contact with Gu Yue, he could feel that she acted with principle and was not a wicked person.

With Ji Siyu by her side, she should be safe for the time being.

He had to confirm it as soon as possible!

Delaying no further, his body turned into a streak of light, heading toward the exit of the Miracle Secret Realm.

Eager to return, Chen Chuan pushed his speed to the limit, passing over tens of thousands of miles like a bolt of lightning, heading straight back to Primordial Holy Land.

He didn’t return to his residence but went straight to the Holy Master’s Hall to find the Holy Master, Xuan Jingru.

When Chen Chuan’s figure appeared inside the Holy Master’s Hall.

Xuan Jingru, who was busy with affairs, suddenly looked up, his face filled with unbelievable shock.

”Chen Chuan? You... You’re still alive?”

Xuan Jingru stood up abruptly, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of imperceptible joy.

After hearing the news of Chen Chuan’s death in the Miracle Secret Realm, Xuan Jingru had lamented for a long time.

He grieved for Primordial Holy Land losing an eternally rare Prodigy.

Now seeing Chen Chuan, who should have fallen, standing alive before him, how could he not be shocked?

”Thank you for your concern, Holy Master. This Disciple was fortunate enough to survive.”

Chen Chuan cupped his hands in a salute, his tone calm.

Xuan Jingru walked down quickly and carefully sensed Chen Chuan’s Aura.

Upon this inspection, he sucked in a breath of cold air, his pupils shrinking: ”Your, your cultivation...”

It was no wonder Xuan Jingru lost his composure; what Realm was Chen Chuan at before entering the Secret Realm?

How much time had passed since then?

This cultivation speed was simply unheard of, not even recorded in ancient texts.

Was the Chaos Divine Body truly this terrifying?

”I had some encounters in the Secret Realm.” Chen Chuan brushed it off, not wanting to explain further, and instead asked urgently: ”Holy Master, do you have news of Si Yu?”

At the mention of Ji Siyu, Xuan Jingru sighed and said: ”Si Yu was taken away by an Upper Realm Cultivator. The person who took her was a woman; as for who it was, I cannot know.”

”As I thought!”

Chen Chuan was basically certain it was Gu Yue’s doing, and the other half of his heart finally settled.

As long as Ji Siyu was safe, staying in the Upper Realm for the time being was fine.

He had to find her in the Upper Realm as soon as possible.

He hadn’t forgotten that the will of an Ice Phoenix Divine Emperor still lay dormant within Ji Siyu.

The longer time dragged on, the greater the variables.

If the Ice Phoenix Divine Emperor completely woke up or influenced Ji Siyu’s mind, it would truly be a total loss.

Seeing his expression, Xuan Jingru understood his heart and added:

”Two days ago, someone from the Ye Family, an Immortal Family of the Upper Realm, descended and took Ye Linger and her Family’s direct descendants to the Upper Realm.”

”Ye Linger?” Chen Chuan was slightly taken aback, then understood.

Since Ye Linger possessed a special Physique, it was only natural for her to be valued and taken away by her main Family in the Upper Realm.

He didn’t care much about this.

They had met once, but there wasn’t much entanglement between them.

Now that Ye Linger had been taken by her main Family, she would surely receive better growth.

At this moment, Chen Chuan already had a plan in mind.

He looked up, his gaze sharp as he looked at Xuan Jingru: ”Holy Master, please immediately summon all the high-level Elders of the Holy Land.”

Seeing his solemn expression, Xuan Jingru couldn’t help but ask: ”What is your purpose?”

Chen Chuan’s tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable murderous intent: ”To destroy Fengyun Holy Land.”

”What?” Xuan Jingru was startled, almost thinking he had misheard.

Destroying a Holy Land with a long Inheritance?

This was an earth-shattering event.

”Chen Chuan, this matter is of great importance. A war between two Holy Lands involves a lot, and the consequences are unpredictable...” Xuan Jingru tried to dissuade him.

”Holy Master, my mind is made up.” Chen Chuan interrupted him, his tone resolute:

”The people from Fengyun Holy Land hunted me in the Miracle Secret Realm; this debt must be repaid.”

”Now that I have reached the Transcendence Realm, I am more confident in uprooting them to eliminate future troubles! Please, Holy Master, issue the order to gather our forces!”

Seeing that Chen Chuan was not acting on impulse, and the Transcendence Realm Aura he emitted indeed provided unprecedented confidence.

Xuan Jingru pondered for a moment and finally nodded: ”Fine! This seat will gamble with you!”

Primordial Holy Land’s efficiency was extremely high. Soon, the bells rang, and all core Elders, whether in seclusion or away, were urgently recalled.

When everyone gathered in the hall and learned that Chen Chuan had not only returned alive but had also surged in cultivation to the Second Level of the Transcendence Realm, they were all shocked and in an uproar.
