I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Chapter 655: Chapter 655 The Loyalty Seal Only Works When She’s on Top

The three goddesses crowded around the enormous block of ice, their expressions filled with anxiety and anticipation.

For what felt like an eternity, they could do nothing but wait.

Then...

Crack!

A thin fracture suddenly appeared across the surface of the ice.

The three goddesses immediately held their breath.

Crack!

Another crack spread across the frozen surface, followed by dozens more. The entire block began to tremble violently.

”Master!”

Their voices were filled with hope.

A moment later...

Boom!

The massive block of ice shattered.

Fragments of ice flew in every direction before dissolving into countless sparkling particles.

Ding!

At the center of the shattered ice sat a woman dressed in pristine white robes.

Her long silver hair flowed behind her like a waterfall, and her beautiful face was as cold and elegant as an immortal fairy descended from the heavens.

Her eyes slowly opened.

Whoosh!

The instant she did, an overwhelming white radiance erupted from her body.

The entire area was engulfed in blinding light.

For several breaths, nothing else could be seen.

Then the radiance gradually faded, revealing the silver-haired woman once again.

”Master!”

The Sun Goddess, Shadow Goddess, and Flame Goddess immediately rushed toward her.

All three were crying tears of joy.

They had waited for this moment for so long that seeing their master awake again felt almost like a dream.

The woman in white, however, didn’t share their excitement.

Her expression remained serious and cold.

She slowly looked at the three goddesses before speaking.

”What did you do?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried undeniable authority.

The three goddesses immediately became nervous.

They exchanged glances before finally explaining everything.

They told her about Medicine King Lin Feng.

They told her about their journey to Clear Moon City.

They told her about the request they had made.

And finally, they told her about the price they had been willing to pay and Lin Feng’s refusal to start a war.

The silver-haired woman listened silently.

The more she heard, the more serious her expression became.

By the time the three goddesses finished explaining, the woman in white remained silent for several breaths.

Her beautiful silver eyes looked toward the distant horizon.

”Medicine King Lin Feng...”

She slowly repeated the name, as if committing it to memory.

There was a strange glimmer in her eyes.

For someone who had just awakened from an ordeal that had lasted so long, the first thing she had learned about the outside world was that a mysterious Medicine King had become powerful enough to make her three disciples willingly offer everything they possessed.

That alone was enough to make her take notice.

The woman in white had once been known throughout the Azure Heaven Continent by a title that commanded immense respect.

She was the Holy Teacher.

Unlike many ancient powerhouses who pursued strength, treasures, and longevity above everything else, the Holy Teacher had always considered teaching the Dao to be her greatest calling.

She loved finding talented disciples and guiding them along the path of cultivation.

She would patiently explain profound principles, correct their mistakes, and watch with genuine joy as her disciples grew stronger.

To her, passing down knowledge was just as important as increasing her own cultivation.

For countless years, her life had been peaceful and fulfilling.

She had powerful cultivation.

She had three beloved disciples.

And she had devoted herself to the continuation of the Dao.

Unfortunately, that peaceful existence came to an end when the Demon Horde Continent invaded the Azure Heaven Continent.

The invasion plunged the entire continent into chaos.

Countless sects and clans were dragged into the conflict, and powerful cultivators fought desperately to protect their homes.

At the head of the invading forces was the terrifying Demon Lord.

He was powerful, ambitious, and accustomed to taking whatever he desired.

And what he desired was the Holy Teacher.

The Demon Lord wanted her to become his wife.

The Holy Teacher naturally refused.

She had no intention of becoming the wife of a tyrant responsible for bringing destruction and suffering to her homeland.

Her refusal enraged the Demon Lord.

But rather than immediately killing her, he found another way to force her hand.

He captured the Holy Teacher’s three disciples.

The Sun Goddess.

The Shadow Goddess.

The Flame Goddess.

The three women were powerful cultivators in their own right, but before the Demon Lord, they were still unable to resist.

The Demon Lord made his intentions clear.

If the Holy Teacher refused to accompany him, her three disciples would pay the price.

The Holy Teacher had no choice.

For the sake of her disciples, she surrendered herself and went away with the Demon Lord.

Although she had been forced into that decision, the three goddesses never forgot what happened.

They blamed themselves.

If they had been stronger, their master would never have needed to sacrifice herself for them.

If they had possessed enough strength to defeat the Demon Lord, their master wouldn’t have been taken away.

That guilt remained buried deep within their hearts for countless years.

It was also the reason they had become so obsessed with becoming stronger.

When the three goddesses eventually found a way to rescue their master, they were willing to pay almost any price.

That was why they had gone to Medicine King Lin Feng.

That was why they were willing to offer their treasures, favors, and even themselves.

Their master had sacrificed everything for them once.

Now, they were determined to do the same for her.

The Holy Teacher looked at Lin Feng, a conflicted expression appearing on her beautiful face.

”The Demon Lord will come,” she said quietly.

”I know.”

Lin Feng remained remarkably calm.

”What must come will come. There is no stopping it.”

He simply shrugged, as though the arrival of the Demon Lord was nothing more than an inevitable event that would eventually happen.

The Holy Teacher fell silent.

For a long moment, she didn’t know what else to say.

Then, as she looked at Lin Feng, she suddenly remembered something important.

Before the Demon Lord could lay a hand on her, she had made a desperate decision.

She had sealed herself inside an eternal block of ice.

It was an ancient technique that even she could barely control.

The ice was practically indestructible, and once she entered it, even the Demon Lord could not easily force his way through.

But there was a terrible price.

She had trapped herself inside it.

For countless years, she had remained conscious within that frozen prison, unable to move, unable to escape, and unable to end her own suffering.

The cold had penetrated her body and soul.

It had been an existence far worse than ordinary death.

During the worst moments of her agony, when she had wondered whether she would remain trapped there forever, she had made a solemn vow.

Whoever can end my suffering and return me to freedom shall receive my eternal allegiance.

It had been a promise made in the deepest moment of desperation.

And now, someone had actually fulfilled it.

Lin Feng had broken through the impossible and released her from the eternal ice.

The Holy Teacher’s cheeks gradually became flushed.

She understood exactly what that meant.

A vow made by a powerhouse of her level wasn’t something that could simply be ignored.

Words spoken casually by ordinary people could be taken back.

But a solemn vow made by an ancient powerhouse was different.

It was connected to one’s Dao heart.

Breaking such a promise could create an enormous inner demon and might even affect one’s future cultivation.

The Holy Teacher looked at Lin Feng for several breaths.

Then she took a slow breath and made her decision.

”Thank you for saving my life, Medicine King Lin Feng.”

Her voice was calm, but there was absolute sincerity within it.

”From today onward, my life is yours.”

The three goddesses froze.

”Master?”

Before they could react, the Holy Teacher did something that shocked all three of them.

She lowered herself and knelt directly before Lin Feng.

Thump!

The three goddesses stared in disbelief.

Their master was the legendary Holy Teacher.

An existence who had stood at the peak of the Azure Heaven Continent.

A woman who had taught countless geniuses and whose name commanded the respect of countless cultivators.

Yet now, she had voluntarily knelt before Lin Feng.

There was no coercion.

No threat.

No hesitation.

It was an act of absolute submission born from a promise she had made with her own Dao heart.

The Flame Goddess’s mouth fell open.

The Shadow Goddess’s eyes widened.

Even the usually composed Sun Goddess was completely stunned.

None of them had expected their master to make such a decision so quickly.

Lin Feng himself looked at the kneeling Holy Teacher for several breaths.

He hadn’t expected her to take her vow quite this seriously.

”Stand up,” Lin Feng said calmly.

But the Holy Teacher remained kneeling.

”I gave my word,” she replied softly. ”And I will honor it.”

Her expression was peaceful.

For someone who had spent countless years trapped in eternal ice, regaining her freedom was already a miracle.

To her, repaying the person who had given her that freedom was not humiliation.

It was simply keeping her promise.
