Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 929: Become My Resources for Immortality!

Soon, the news from the Immortal Path reached the Lan Clan.

Lan Nuo rose gracefully and arrived outside the secluded chamber where Ye Chen was in seclusion. Just as she was about to activate a transmission talisman to inform him, the doors of the cave residence opened. A tall, straight figure walked out with a smile on his face and looked toward her.

Lan Nuoʼs face lit up with joy. Who else could it be but her Master, whom she had been thinking about day and night? But the moment she sensed Ye Chenʼs aura, she was shocked again. Her Masterʼs aura had already reached the peak of Saint King? In just two and a half years?

She herself possessed the Sacred Spiritual Root and had the Heavenly Position Bamboo Root, yet she had only advanced to the mid-stage. Her Master had already reached the peak? This was simply too absurd.

”Master, your cultivation speed is too shocking! Not even the genius of the Immortal Realm could advance this fast…”

Lan Nuoʼs eyes were filled with pure admiration. Ye Chen smiled and gently pulled her delicate body into his arms. After consuming the Heavenly Will Fortune Fruit, he had not felt any obvious difference. But the cultivation effect of the supreme immortal root—the Heavenly Will Immortal Tree—was truly terrifying.

For a full two and a half years, his immortal-grade Heavenly Heart Imprint had never stopped refining. It had almost started smoking from the sheer speed. He had finally pushed his cultivation to the peak of Saint King.

What he needed to do next was very simple.

First, kill Alkaid. Then head to the Heavenly Desire Sect. After that, break through to the Great Saint realm. Breaking through to Great Saint required merging his Heavenly Heart Imprint with his cave heaven to promote it into a world. Many cultivators would use various treasures during the process to strengthen the foundation of the new world.

But Ye Chen did not need to collect anything. Most treasures were useless to his cave heaven. His cave heaven was the Primordial Cave Heaven, its grade shockingly high and its foundation unimaginably deep. Even though it was still only a cave heaven for now, no Great Saint in the current world could find a single person whose internal world surpassed his.

Moreover, the amount of Heavenly Position laws contained in his Heavenly Heart Imprint was vast beyond imagination, and its grade was immortal-grade. Not to mention that he would soon give out more gifts and receive another massive surge. Once the two merged, Ye Chen suspected he could directly reach the peak of Great Saint upon breaking through.

The next step would be preparing to break through to the Great Emperor. Quasi-Immortal would then be only one step away. In short, everything was stable.

Ye Chen was not in a hurry. Sensing the genuine joy radiating from Lan Nuoʼs heart, he was willing to spend more time with her before going to kill Alkaid. That guy had been hiding for so long anyway. There was no harm in letting him live a few more days.

…

Looking at Ye Chen, Lan Nuo also wanted to do something. She had been looking forward to it for a very long time. But she knew important matters came first. Her Master was very interested in Yan Ruyu.

Although deep in her heart she did not really want her Master to have more women (the more women there were, the less time he would spend with her), if she kept silent and allowed Yan Ruyu to perish, even if her Master did not blame her, he would still feel sad. She did not want to see her Master sad.

So Lan Nuo spoke softly, ”Master, Alkaid is not dead. He has reappeared in the Seventh Realm! Afterward, he went to the Eighth Realm and pledged himself to the Exiled Immortal. The Exiled Immortal personally killed two Great Emperors. Alkaid has now reached the peak of Great Saint, and his Chaos Body may already be complete. He intends to make a move against Yan Ruyu… According to the latest news, Yan Ruyu is trapped inside a blessed land. Together with her is Yan Wenwen of the Peacock Clan.”

Ye Chenʼs brows rose at once…

Alkaid had been hiding for so long, yet he had jumped out on his own? Had he gone mad? Or had the Child of Fortuneʼs power activated? And why was Yan Ruyu being targeted again?

Ye Chen felt it was because of him. Whether it was the previous Celestial Prince or the current Alkaid, both had targeted Yan Ruyu because of his interest in her.

To be honest, Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed. Yan Ruyu was suffering an undeserved calamity. But the fact that Yan Wenwen was also there made Ye Chen frown.

Unlike Yan Ruyu, Yan Wenwen counted as one of his women. Ye Chen truly hated it when someone made a move against his women.

The aura around him instantly turned cold. He gently stroked Lan Nuoʼs hair and said softly, ”Iʼll come see you next time…”

Ye Chen planned to have someone return and gift Lan Nuo a Heavenly Position Immortal Herb after he dealt with Alkaid. He would also take care of Yan Qingcheng, Yao Yuezhi, and the others. Everyone would get one. After all, the effects of a Heavenly Position Immortal Herb were still a level higher than the Heavenly Position Bamboo Root.

Lan Nuo sighed softly in her heart when she heard this. She had known that the moment she spoke, Ye Chen would leave. Still, she felt no regret. She only spoke with some worry, ”Alkaid is the Devouring lineageʼs inheritor and possesses countless methods… It is said that the Devouring lineage has collected seven of the Nine Secrets! They also created many divine techniques specifically to counter the Nine Secrets. Alkaid suddenly stopped hiding and targeted Yan Ruyu. He is most likely trying to lure Master to the Seventh Realm and has definitely made many preparations. Master, please do not take this lightly! Otherwise… let me accompany you!”

Lan Nuo was not showing off. She was genuinely worried. The opponent was at the peak of Great Saint. At the Great Saint realm, the cave heaven advanced into a world. One could wield the power of a world, and combat strength increased far beyond imagination.

First to Third Heaven was equivalent to early Mahayana. Fourth to Sixth Heaven was mid Mahayana. Seventh to Ninth Heaven was late Mahayana. Saint King and Great Saint were separated right at the dividing line between the mid and late stages. The gap in strength between the two realms was enormous.

Ye Chen smiled at her words. With Alkaidʼs personality, he had naturally made countless preparations. Peak Great Saint. His Chaos Body had probably already been elevated to the Innate level.

He had even sought out the Exiled Immortal and most likely obtained a Quasi-Immortal array? Perhaps there were other trump cards as well. But so what?

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said to Lan Nuo, ”Donʼt worry. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are futile…”

Lan Nuoʼs eyes brightened at once.

Soon after, the experts from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land also arrived.

After a few simple pleasantries, Ye Chen rose gracefully and boarded the immortal ship directly.

The elders sensed Ye Chenʼs skyrocketing cultivation and were all shocked beyond words. They had originally wanted to urge him to be careful. Now they felt there was no need to say anything.

…

Seventh Realm of the Immortal Path.

Alkaid sat calmly in the void. Below him lay a shattered blessed land. Within the faintly visible remnants of its arrays, two graceful figures could be seen.

Alkaid did not spare the figures below even a glance. He had never cared for female beauty. He had once had a fiancée, yet he had never been moved by her. His heart was set solely on immortality. This was also why, whenever he thought of Ye Chen, he felt restless and extremely unwilling.

Any true expert would sink into lust for women?

The Eight-Crowned King, in order to grow stronger, had chosen to sleep continuously with the World Tree even after becoming an immortal, enduring nearly a million years.

And the Celestial Prince?

He had also slept for a million years.

Everyone was willing to pay any price for strength.

But Ye Chen?

He was addicted to women and willing to give away anything to obtain them.

A person with such weak will did not deserve that peerless talent. Since he did not cherish it, he could offer up his entire origin as resources for Alkaidʼs path to immortality!
