Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 541: Senior Brother Will Definitely Be Happy!

Ye Chen was initially a bit worried. But then it hit him. Hadnʼt he already killed Ying Tianshengʼs younger brother?

Oh, well, no issue then. Ye Chen didnʼt bother arguing with the Holy Master. He and the fiancée had a clear conscience.

After Ye Chen spoke, Feng Baiyu raised an eyebrow. ”I donʼt doubt that Yi Qingwu. After all, you two are… deeply in love. I trust your taste in women, so letʼs assume sheʼs not trying to screw you over. But the Heavenly Intention Holy Son? How do you know he hasnʼt caught on to you two? What if this is a trap set just for you?

All that talk of the First Nether Son or Fifth Nether Maiden could be fake. Maybe they just want to kill you. And while theyʼre at it, deal a heavy blow to our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land! Yi Qingwu tipping you off? Could be sheʼs doing it right under their noses.”

Ye Chenʼs eyes narrowed. Okay, that wasnʼt impossible. After all, as a man, the Heavenly Intention Holy Son probably wanted him dead most, especially with the fiancée constantly stirring things up. So, what now? Ignore it?

Ye Chen glanced at his Holy Master.

Feng Baiyu grinned. ”Weʼre going. If they really start fighting, thatʼs good for us. If we can take out a few of their Supreme Elders, Heavenly Intention Holy Land will be crippled for millennia. Weʼll stay hidden, far away. No casualties, we donʼt move. Unless a few Mahayana cultivators fall, we stay put. Iʼll call more Supreme Elders out of seclusion. The more, the better. If we spot an opportunity, we send half our forces—check for ambushes first. Oh, and hereʼs an idea: secretly set up a killing formation. If thereʼs an ambush, our vanguard retreats, luring them into the trap…”

Feng Baiyu schemed battle plans. Ye Chen listened briefly, already sensing the Holy Masterʼs cunning. He cupped his fists, acknowledged the brilliance, and bolted.

Back from Great Shang Immortal City after a week, it was time to deliver gifts. First, the Healing Secret. The recipient? Senior An, naturally. Since Senior An gained the Seven Extremes Immortal Body from a remnant soul, her multiplier hit 2,000. With critical hits, she wouldnʼt disappoint.

But on the flight over, Ye Chen recalled the Fifth Nether Maiden. She had the Nether God Body. Seemed pretty strong. Maybe her multiplier was high too?

Ye Chen, kind-hearted as ever, couldnʼt bear to see someone caught in a plot and die unjustly. So, should he sneak a peek beforehand? Check if sheʼs a good woman. How to judge? Over 2,000, she qualifies. Below that? No real value to him now.

Above the Endless Sea, a figure in a black robe, concealing her entire body, revealed only a pair of bare feet, strikingly fair and translucent. Spiritual bells hung on her ankles, jingling pleasantly with each step. As she neared Great Yan Continent, her steps grew lighter, the bells ringing with joy.

This was Su Yuxuan, the Fifth Nether Maiden of the Nether God Holy Land. Nominally fifth, but in truth, second. She was one of only two with the Nether God Body. Once she broke through to the Unity realm, she could vie for the title of First Nether Maiden.

”So happy?”

A female voice echoed in Su Yuxuanʼs mind. Su Yuxuan nodded without hesitation, replying through transmission.

”Master was right. Itʼs been over a decade since we parted in the Great Chu Dynasty. Senior Brother will be thrilled to see me. Iʼm even tempted. Based on the news, the Three Yin True Water wonʼt fully form for another month. With that time, I could make a round trip to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land!”

Her master, Manjusaka, sighed helplessly. After all these years, Su Yuxuan still couldnʼt forget Ye Chen. But Manjusaka didnʼt try to persuade her otherwise. After all, Su Yuxuanʼs heart and eyes were gifts from Ye Chen. Even a golden core. Those gifts brought her endless benefits, enabling her to ascend to the Nether God Body, seize opportunities, and advance rapidly. Her attachment to Ye Chen was only natural. Not to mention, Ye Chen was now the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir, capable of crushing a Star River King Body with ease. Even Manjusaka was quietly amazed by him.

Still, she spoke seriously. ”Head to the Three Yin True Waterʼs birthplace first. The worldʼs environment is harsh now; itʼs increasingly rare. Weʼve searched for five years without a trace. Itʼs a key material for refining my body, with no substitute. So, secure it first. As for Ye Chen, meet him later. If you see him now, you two will be inseparable for at least a week.”

Manjusaka valued the Three Yin True Water highly. After five years of searching, sheʼd only recently bought information from a secretive source. Missing this chance could mean an indefinite wait.

Su Yuxuan, unfazed, let out a bell-like laugh. ”Senior Brotherʼs always full of tricks, so it takes a bit longer… but Masterʼs right. Letʼs secure the Three Yin True Water first.”

Though a little devilish, Su Yuxuan wasnʼt heartless. She knew her priorities.

Manjusaka smiled, satisfied, but couldnʼt resist a warning. ”Men are no good. Ye Chenʼs strong, but no different… Masters, senior sisters, othersʼ fiancée, even eldersʼ orphans—he spares no one. Now, as the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir, he mightʼve forgotten you already. Trust me, men are unreliable. Only women can truly help women…”

Used to her masterʼs daily anti-man rants, Su Yuxuan just nodded along. ”Mhm, mhm, mhm…” Then, locking onto her destination, she floated off with light steps.

She wasnʼt too worried about securing the Three Yin True Water. With her formidable strength and a Mahayana-stage protector assigned by the Nether God Holy Land, success was certain. Once this was settled, sheʼd find Senior Brother. Let him experience the moves sheʼd practiced in her spare time.

Su Yuxuan wasnʼt kidding. Her feet, now as nimble as a second pair of hands, were extraordinarily agile. Theyʼd surely leave an unforgettable impression on her quirk-loving Senior Brother.

…

As Su Yuxuan neared the Three Yin True Waterʼs birthplace, many lips curled into smiles… but they didnʼt act yet. Instead, they waited, as planned, for the water to fully form…
