Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 928: I Did It!

The corner of the Exiled Immortalʼs mouth twitched at those words.

”You really do understand the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir!”

He also felt that the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir would not dare come to the Eighth Realm.

Alkaid allowed the wound on his chest to slowly heal until it was as good as new. He then put his robe back on and spoke calmly, ”I feel that he and I are the same kind of person! Itʼs just that his luck is slightly better than mine, and his aptitude exceeds mine by a bit! I wonder if Lord Exiled Immortal is willing to help me obtain the Innate Chaos Body!”

The Exiled Immortal narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Alkaid.

The Innate Chaos Body was already not inferior to ordinary immortal bodies. With the added enhancement of Alkaidʼs Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, it could be said to far surpass the vast majority of immortal bodies. If he helped him grow, would he be raising a tiger that might devour its master later?

The Exiled Immortal narrowed his eyes, but then shook his head.

The Heavenly Emperorʼs heir—suspected to be the Child of Fortune of this world—was his true greatest threat. As for the Alkaid Holy Son before him, once he obtained the Innate Chaos Body and reached the peak of his cultivation, he would not need much longer before attempting to break through and come to the Eighth Realm. He could simply stand guard in front of the teleportation array and slap him to death the moment he stepped onto the Immortal Path.

Thus, the Exiled Immortal calmly nodded. ”Very well… Follow me. We will go kill a few Great Emperors! I also have several servants whose aptitudes are not bad. I will summon them to the Eighth Realm for you to devour! I hope you do not disappoint me!”

Alkaid said nothing more. He simply made his plans in his heart. Ye Chenʼs physique was extraordinary. If he could devour it, he would soar to the heavens in a single bound. In the future, he could then devour the Exiled Immortal and the Celestial Prince.

That would be enough to elevate his physique to a level infinitely close to an immortal body. With the enhancement of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, he might even contend with the Eight-Crowned King once he reached the peak.

If he could win and obtain the World Tree sapling, he could then smoothly achieve the Chaos Immortal Body. Even after reaching the Immortal Realm, he would still be among the topmost geniuses.

He did not voice any of this. He quietly followed behind the Exiled Immortal and watched as the latter found a genius who had risen to fame three thousand years ago and was now a Great Emperor.

The Exiled Immortal was terrifying. The techniques he used were ones Alkaid had never seen before. His opponent was clearly also a Great Emperor, yet in front of the Exiled Immortal, he was utterly helpless.

Alkaid recorded every move the Exiled Immortal made, preparing for the day he would kill him. In this manner, two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the Eighth Realm, endless chaotic qi surged. Under the Exiled Immortalʼs emotionless gaze, Alkaid slowly stood up. His physique was now perfect and flawless, his Chaos Body complete. His pupils contained terrifying visions—sun, moon, and stars revolving endlessly, universes being born and destroyed.

After closing his eyes for a moment, the corners of Alkaidʼs mouth curved into a smile. With the origins of three Great Emperors and dozens of geniuses as fuel, the Innate Chaos Body he had dreamed of for so many years had finally been achieved!

His cultivation had also reached the peak of Great Saint. The Innate Chaos Body—the true top-tier physique of the cultivation world. As long as the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo did not appear, no one could rival it.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

With the enhancement of the Chaos Body, he could fight ordinary mid-stage Great Emperors. With the enhancement of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, he could fight late-stage Great Emperors. He could even face the peak Great Emperors without dying.

Of course, not against someone like the Exiled Immortal. But it was already more than enough. Ye Chen was probably at the mid or late Saint King realm by now. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to cross two major realms and stand shoulder to shoulder with a Great Emperor.

Moreover, Alkaid had prepared many other things. This time, Ye Chen was doomed!

”This is a Quasi-Immortal array. It can suppress the enemyʼs physical recovery and reduce their speed…”

In his previous life, the Exiled Immortal had been a top-tier immortal array master. As long as he had the materials, creating a Quasi-Immortal array was effortless and cost him nothing.

Alkaid received it with both hands and thanked him earnestly. ”Many thanks, Exiled Immortal!”

The Exiled Immortal smiled as well. ”You have great talent. In the future, you may follow me to the Other Domain!”

Alkaidʼs smile grew wider. ”I am willing to follow Lord!”

The Exiled Immortal nodded, then waved his hand. ”Go. Kill the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir as soon as possible and break through to the Eighth Realm… At that time, I will take you to slaughter all the Quasi-Immortals in the Eighth Realm and help your physique advance further!”

Alkaid thanked him again and then drifted away. Once they had separated by a great distance, killing intent appeared on both their faces.

...

Returning to the Seventh Realm, Alkaidʼs physique was now perfectly rounded. Not a trace of chaotic qi leaked out. Holy light glowed behind him as he wore a faint smile.

The cultivators of the Seventh Realm looked at him with awe and fear in their hearts. Many even took the initiative to retreat, afraid of catching his attention. The news that two Great Emperors had died in the Eighth Realm could not be hidden—the commotion had been too great. The entire cultivation world now knew that the Devouring True Transmission inheritor was still alive and had thrown in his lot with the Exiled Immortal.

Alkaid glanced at the crowd but had no intention of starting a massacre. He had not yet deduced the subsequent parts of his scripture. Besides, he had something far more important to do right now.

He simply spoke indifferently, ”Have you found Yan Ruyuʼs whereabouts?”

A figure immediately replied, ”Reporting to the Holy Son, Yan Ruyuʼs location has been confirmed…”

The two conversed without avoiding outsiders.

The onlookers erupted in an uproar.

Yan Ruyu? Alkaid intended to make a move against Yan Ruyu?

Although Yan Ruyu had only entered the Great Saint realm a few years ago, she was an extremely special existence in the Seventh Realm.

On one hand, her combat strength was astonishing. Despite being at the mid-stage, she could compete with late-stage Great Saints for opportunities. There had even been an incident where a peak Great Saint slapped her inside a certain cave heaven, yet she had casually brushed it away with seven-colored divine light and emerged completely unharmed.

Word had spread throughout the Seventh Realm that Yan Ruyuʼs aptitude might already be comparable to her ancestors. If not for the fact that only one person could become immortal in this era, Yan Ruyu would undoubtedly have the potential to ascend.

On the other hand, her background also made people wary. It was not the Peacock Clan. It was the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir. After all, the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir was even more monstrous, and his cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast.

Therefore, even when competing for opportunities, everyone had shown some restraint and avoided killing blows. And now, Alkaid actually wanted to act against Yan Ruyu? Was he not afraid that the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir would come charging over?

But the next moment, everyone understood and sucked in a sharp breath. Alkaid was deliberately trying to lure the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir here. Everyone looked at Alkaid with a trace of awe in their eyes.

Everyone who understood knew just how terrifying the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir was. Yet Alkaid still wanted to fight him. Alkaid clearly had no intention of seeking death, so he must have had absolute confidence in victory.

The crowd was filled with amazement. They knew that a world-shaking battle was about to erupt.

…

The news that Alkaid intended to make a move against Yan Ruyu spread out from the Seventh Realm like a flood, sweeping across the entire cultivation world.

Inside the Lan Clan.

After obtaining the Heavenly Position Bamboo Root, Lan Nuo—who already possessed the Sacred Spiritual Root—advanced at a breakneck pace. In just two and a half years, she had reached the mid Saint King realm.

This once again triggered a frenzy of boasting within the Lan Clan: ”Our Lan Nuo truly has the potential to become a True Immortal!”

However, Lan Nuo herself was not in high spirits. The main reason was that after those few days, her Master Ye Chen had gone straight into seclusion. He had not come out for a full two and a half years.

This left Lan Nuo, whose interest had been thoroughly aroused, feeling extremely resentful. If not for the fact that her Master was quite enthusiastic when he got excited, Lan Nuo would have started suspecting that what Ye Chen cultivated was the emotionless Dao…
