I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

70: You’re so stubborn!The facts were indeed consistent with what Yue Qingguang had said: the Xuan Guang Cave Great Cave Master was secretly colluding with the Yao Race. However, Yue Qingguang did not know much—which Royal Clan they were colluding with, where the Nine Infant Demonic Flower was located, why Jiang Yang dared to be so certain that achieving Major Achievement in Cultivation could unify the Three Sects, whether the other Cave Masters of Xuan Guang Cave knew everything, and so on... Yue Qingguang did not know these things.

Gradually, Shen Nian’s eyes cleared, and the Soul Search Divine Ability stopped running.

*Snap*!

He casually tossed Yue Qingguang’s dazed Primordial Spirit into the cangtian token, planning to use it later during a simulation.

For him, he had already anticipated that Xuan Guang Cave was corrupt; the Soul Search was just to confirm it.

Immediately, Shen Nian began preparing to Cultivate, while slowly moving the items in his Storage Pouch into the cangtian token.

”Hmm?”

”Oh right, I’ve been really busy lately and almost forgot. I should hand this Supreme Regeneration Art over to Xia Youyue tomorrow,” Shen Nian suddenly thought upon seeing the Supreme Regeneration Art, which resembled a sheet of gold foil.

Perfect!

Should I give her a mission too?

I almost forgot to set her difficulty level.

How about having her entire body covered in supreme bones within three months?

That’s not too much, right? The pressure isn’t maxed out, right?

She is diligent and much more stable than Xiao Qinger, so there shouldn’t be any issues.

Mm!

Let’s decide on that. After dealing with Xiao Qinger and her Cultivation Technique tomorrow, it will be about time to go to Yunzhou.

Having made all his plans, Shen Nian began to Cultivate quietly. To say he was Cultivating, he was merely using his Divided Soul to watch the nine Little Golden Figures continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and temper their Bloodline Meridians.

It was like a leader inspecting work.

It was already late at night.

Great Xia, Youyue Palace.

Xia Youyue, exhausted after a busy day, returned to her sleeping quarters. As she walked on the soft white carpet, a hint of relaxation finally appeared on her face.

After dealing with Xia Qiankun’s partisans, she had to appease the ministers, which had kept her terribly busy. She hadn’t rested well these past few days.

Over the past half month, many affairs of Great Xia had been settled, and Great Xia would not see any internal changes in the short term.

As for Xuan Guang Cave, no one had come to demand accountability, which was unexpected.

Since there had been no movement for so many days, she could only arrange spies near Xuan Guang Cave, ready to respond immediately if any trouble arose.

”I wonder how Senior Brother and Senior Sister Qinger are doing at the Dragon Transformation Pool...” Xia Youyue murmured softly while sitting on the soft, luxurious purple couch.

She thought of the figure in flowing white robes, especially the words he had spoken behind her that day, and a strange emotion surfaced in her heart, causing her to involuntarily show a beautiful smile.

Immediately after, she thought of something else and whispered to herself.

”Senior Brother seems very concerned about Senior Sister Qinger’s cultivation, but why not mine?”

”Or is it because Senior Sister Qinger’s cultivation is too low, and since I am already at the Peak Golden Core stage, I meet Senior Brother’s requirements and don’t need further improvement?”

”But that shouldn’t be the case...”

Xia Youyue was somewhat confused. Given Senior Brother’s strength, the Peak Golden Core stage shouldn’t be enough to catch his attention.

”Forget it. Regardless, even if Senior Brother hasn’t given me any missions yet, I cannot slack off!”

”After all, that Demon Emperor...”

The next second, Xia Youyue’s expression grew serious.

”Although Senior Brother is powerful and a Prodigy, he is still located in Great Xia. Furthermore, Senior Brother is too conspicuous and will inevitably become famous throughout Great Xia soon. With his talent, he might even attract the attention of the Demon Emperor. I absolutely cannot let Senior Brother repeat my mistakes...”

”The Heavenly Sword Sect alone cannot protect Senior Brother...”

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Senior Brother could lead her to slay the Demon Emperor in the future, but she dared not gamble!

Only by truly facing an existence that inspires despair can one know how terrifying it is... All calculations are like moths flying into a flame before crushing power—insignificant and pathetic.

Therefore!

Xia Youyue decided that she must help Senior Brother, and also help herself!

”Ancient Moon Grotto-Heaven will open in a few more days. Even if it’s not for the Formation, I must go inside and find more Heaven And Earth Treasure to integrate into the little green bottle. As long as I have enough treasures, I can obtain a steady stream of Cultivation Resources...” Xia Youyue’s eyes showed confidence, as if she possessed immense assurance.

Immediately.

She took the white porcelain little green bottle from inside her body, held it, and stared at it, feeling a bit lost as she recalled the first time she picked it up in the Imperial Palace Lotus Pond.

If not for this item, how could she, having lost her supreme bone, have the cultivation she possesses today?

”Little Green, you must be strong. Don’t disappoint me. Although Cultivation requires caution, sometimes one has to take a risk...”

”I probably won’t be able to go with Senior Brother to Ancient Moon Grotto-Heaven this time. When we meet again, I must give Senior Brother a huge surprise!”

Right at this moment.

Outside the palace, a voice sounded.

”Your Highness the Princess, Yuan Hong requests an audience.”

Xia Youyue instantly retracted the little green bottle into her body, then stood up and walked toward the palace gate.

”Temple Steward Yuan, it’s so late, what is...”

”Uh, what’s wrong with you?”

Xia Youyue pushed open the palace door and couldn’t help but stare, seeing Yuan Hong, whose face was flushed red as if injected with stimulants, along with the three Old Men in Green Robes beside him.

This was the first time in many years she had seen such an... exaggerated expression on the usually steady Yuan Hong.

As for these three, she wasn’t very familiar with them, but she had seen them; they were all elders from the previous generation of the Martial Temple.

It was a miracle they hadn’t died yet.

She saw.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan Hong said, ”Princess, what I am about to say may completely overturn your understanding of Lord Shen and fundamentally change the structure of our Great Xia!”

Hearing this, Xia Youyue immediately showed a serious expression, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes as she pressed, ”What happened to Senior Brother?”

However, Yuan Hong did not rush to answer, but said solemnly, ”Your Highness the Princess, are you ready?”

Xia Youyue raised an eyebrow, feeling annoyed.

”Just say it already!” the Old Man in Green Robes next to him immediately said impatiently.

”You’re going to worry someone to death!” another Old Man in Green Robes echoed.

Yuan Hong nodded and immediately said, ”Just today, Lord Shen came out of the Dragon Transformation Pool, and he absorbed every single Arhat Golden Dragon in the Dragon Transformation Pool, leaving not a drop!”

”None left, truly not a single drop left. I later checked and snuck into the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool, and with my Spiritual Nose honed over years of Cultivation, I searched thoroughly. Indeed, none are left!” one of the Old Men in Green Robes nodded and added, smacking his lips as he spoke.

”Hmm?” Xia Youyue instantly froze, unable to help but ask, ”Nine hundred-plus Arhat Golden Dragons, the accumulation of our Great Xia over a thousand years—how did Senior Brother absorb them all?”

That’s impossible!

Even if she knew Shen Nian was a High Realm Hunyuan Grandmaster, he shouldn’t be able to achieve something so exaggerated!

Those are Arhat Golden Dragons condensed from Soul Transformation Golden Bodies!!

”It’s unbelievable, isn’t it outrageous?” the Old Man in Green Robes clapped his hands and said.

”We had the exact same expression as the Princess at the time—it was utterly ridiculous!”

Yuan Hong immediately took over, saying, ”Your Highness the Princess, there’s something even more outrageous!”

”Although Lord Shen absolutely refuses to admit it, how sharp are my eyes? I seriously suspect that your Senior Brother, Lord Shen... he might have become a Buddha!!”

Yuan Hong showed an extremely serious expression, and the other three Old Men in Green Robes nodded along.

Xia Youyue was stunned: ”????”

Became a Buddha?

How could this be!

Senior Brother only Dual Cultivates Body and Sword. How is that related to Buddhism?

”What exactly does this mean?”

Xia Youyue regained her composure, thought about it, deemed it impossible, and questioned them.

”It is normal for Your Highness the Princess not to believe it, after all, you did not personally witness Lord Shen taking less than Half an Incense Stick’s Time to deduce the latter half of the Arhat Golden Body Dharma Idol Divine Ability, and even condense his own unique Golden Body Dharma Idol!”

”Look, this is the Cultivation Technique for the Chaos Sword Prison Golden Body. After Cultivating it, the Golden Body looks exactly like Lord Shen!”

”I checked the records; there is no such Arhat Golden Body in Buddhism. It is obvious that Lord Shen has newly become an Arhat Venerable. Isn’t that becoming a Buddha?”

Xia Youyue somewhat sluggishly took the golden booklet, her mind blank.

Deducing the Arhat Golden Body Dharma Idol—this was simply too incredible... ”Your Highness the Princess, Lord Shen even bestowed this Cultivation Technique upon our Great Xia without asking for anything in return. This act is truly extending the life of our Great Xia. This old man believes we should erect a temple for Lord Shen to receive the incense offerings of our Great Xia!”

”Only by doing this can we Cultivate with a little more peace of mind!”

”We came tonight specifically to request Your Highness the Princess to issue an order to build a temple for Lord Shen!”

After speaking, Yuan Hong bowed solemnly to Xia Youyue, and the three Old Men in Green Robes beside him did the same.

At this moment.

Shen Nian, who was supervising the Cultivation of the Little Golden Figures, suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and scanned the surroundings.

He felt that something was amiss somewhere.

But he couldn’t pinpoint it, so he ultimately closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate.

The night passed in a flash.

The sky was slightly bright, and a sliver of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon.

Great Xia, Demon Suppression Division Cultivation Method Pavilion.

Shen Nian silently watched Temple Steward Yuan, who had now shaved his head bald, waving and smiling at him, and his mouth twitched slightly.

You truly won’t listen to reason!
