Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Chapter 329 Almost Lost Its FoundationDeep within the residence, another aura suddenly soared into the sky!

Nine-colored light, dazzling and eye-catching!

That aura was vast and ancient, carrying a majesty originating from the depths of the Bloodline, shooting straight into the clouds!

Cai Lin.

Shen Wen’s pupils shrank slightly.

She has emerged from seclusion.

And—

The Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python is complete.

That nine-colored light was too dazzling; even with the Shen Residence’s Formation concealing it, it still lit up half the sky the moment it burst out.

Shen Wen’s expression changed, and just as he was about to suppress it, he saw a burst of emerald-green light surge from the neighboring courtyard, instantly enveloping the nine-colored light.

Living Spirit Flame.

That warm life force turned into an invisible barrier, firmly suppressing the nine-colored light above the Shen Residence, preventing even a hint of aura from leaking out.

Shen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, his figure flickering as he left the Quiet Room.

In the neighboring courtyard, Old Man Shennong leaned on his staff hung with jade bottles, standing in the center of the yard, looking up at the suppressed nine-colored light with an extremely complex expression.

”You two as a couple specifically chose this time, didn’t you?”

His voice held a hint of speechlessness and a touch of helplessness.

Shen Wen landed in the courtyard and cupped his hands toward Old Man Shennong: ”Revered Master, your Disciple—”

Old Man Shennong waved his hand, interrupting him.

”Alright, alright, don’t explain.”

He stared at the nine-colored light for a moment and murmured, ”Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python... such an exotic beast has actually appeared.”

After a pause, he turned to look at Shen Wen, his gaze filled with complex meaning.

”This kid Shen Wen truly has great Luck!”

Shen Wen gave a dry laugh, not knowing how to respond.

Old Man Shennong didn’t expect him to reply; he simply withdrew his gaze, looked again at the slowly receding nine-colored light, and suddenly asked, ”How long will it take for your wife’s Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python to completely stabilize?”

Shen Wen pondered, ”She was already a Dou Zong before her seclusion. With this Bloodline transformation, her cultivation should have increased significantly. As for stabilizing, it will take at least half a month, at most a month.”

Old Man Shennong nodded and didn’t ask further.

With a wave of his hand, the Living Spirit Flame enveloping the Shen Residence slowly withdrew and merged back into his palm.

”Alright, the commotion is suppressed.” He turned and walked toward the house. After a few steps, he suddenly looked back, ”Next time you two are going to have a Breakthrough, let me know in advance so this old man can be prepared.”

As the words fell, that thin figure had already disappeared inside the door.

Shen Wen stood in the courtyard, looked at the closed wooden door, smiled, and turned toward Cai Lin’s Quiet Room.

The door to the Quiet Room opened.

A slender figure stood at the doorway.

Cai Lin.

Today, she wore a simple, plain-colored long dress, her long hair cascading down, and the aura around her was far more profound than before.

Nine-colored light flowed slowly around her, flickering in and out of sight.

Those purple eyes looked at Shen Wen, the corners of her lips curving slightly.

”It’s done.”

Shen Wen walked up to her and reached out to hold her hand.

Her hand was slightly cool and soft, just as it had always been.

”I felt it.” He smiled, ”The Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, congratulations.”

Cai Lin looked at him and suddenly leaned gently into his embrace.

”Where is One Thought?”

Shen Wen wrapped his arm around her waist and lowered his head to sniff her hair, ”Xiao Yi Xian is looking after her; she’s doing fine.”

Cai Lin hummed in response and said no more.

...

For the next few days, Shen Wen’s courtyard became a restricted area in the residence.

It wasn’t that someone was blocking the entrance, but rather that no one dared to enter.

Cai Lin had been in seclusion for so long; after coming out, that clinginess was obvious to anyone.

On the first day, the doors remained tightly shut.

On the second day, they were still closed.

On the third day, Xiao Yi Xian stood at the courtyard entrance for a moment holding Shen Yinian. Hearing the faint sounds from inside, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned to leave.

On the fourth day, Cao Ying passed by, paused for a moment, shook her head with a smile, and continued on.

On the fifth day, Dan Chen peeked around to see the excitement but was carried away by Cao Ying.

On the sixth day—

Shen Wen finally emerged.

He stood at the courtyard entrance, squinting slightly against the sunlight. Faint dark circles were visible under his eyes, and his steps were a bit shaky.

Behind him, Cai Lin leaned against the doorframe. Her originally cold face was now full of satiated charm. Her purple eyes gazed lazily at him, her lips curved into a smile, and she said nothing.

Shen Wen looked back at her, opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed his words.

Cai Lin gave a light chuckle and turned back into the room.

There was a hint of triumph in that laughter.

Shen Wen stood in place, silent for a moment, and raised a hand to rub his brow.

He had truly experienced the reproductive drive of the snake species.

He possessed the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body, Cultivated the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, had undergone Fusion with the primordial dragon bone, and was bolstered by the Present Tathagata Sutra; he believed his Physical Body’s strength was such that he could probably withstand even a Demon Saint.

But after these few days, he had surprisingly almost failed to hold out.

”My Foundation was almost ruined!”

Shen Wen gave a bitter laugh and walked toward the Flower Hall.

His steps were still a bit shaky, but they steadied as he walked.

In the Flower Hall, Cao Ying was talking with Xiao Yi Xian.

Dan Chen sat to the side, holding a Pill Formula, but she would occasionally look up to peek outside the door.

When they saw Shen Wen enter, three pairs of eyes landed on him simultaneously.

And then—

There was a moment of silence.

Cao Ying picked up her teacup and took a sip, her tone indifferent, ”You’re out?”

Xiao Yi Xian didn’t speak, just looked at him with the corners of her lips curving slightly.

Dan Chen blinked, her gaze circling his face, and she suddenly burst out laughing with a ”pfft.”

”Brother Shen Wen, why are your eyes so dark?”

Shen Wen’s face stiffened.

Cao Ying put down her teacup and said unhurriedly, ”Probably didn’t sleep well.”

Dan Chen nodded in realization and went back to reading the Pill Formula, but her shoulders were shaking.

Xiao Yi Xian stood up and poured a cup of tea for Shen Wen, whispering softly as she handed it over, ”You’ve worked hard.”

Her tone was gentle and soft, but it made Shen Wen’s eyelids twitch.

He took the teacup, sat down beside Cao Ying, took a sip, and said nothing.

Cao Ying didn’t continue the topic either, only saying, ”Senior Shennong’s side sent someone to ask; he said for you to visit once you’ve emerged from seclusion.”

Shen Wen nodded, put down his teacup, and stood up to walk out.

After a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Cao Ying, ”What about you? How much Essence Blood have you refined?”

Cao Ying said, ”I’ve refined a portion; I’ve reached Five-Star Dou Zong. Give me a few more days, and I can charge for Six-Star.”

Shen Wen hummed in response and looked at Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian said, ”I’ve also refined a portion; Seven-Star Dou Zong.”

Shen Wen looked at Dan Chen.

Dan Chen looked up and blinked, ”I’ve only refined a little bit, but I feel like I’m about to have a Breakthrough!”

Shen Wen nodded, didn’t ask more, and turned to leave the Flower Hall.

In the neighboring courtyard, the door was ajar.

When Shen Wen pushed the door open and entered, Old Man Shennong was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, a game of chess laid out before him, playing against himself.

Hearing footsteps, he didn’t even look up, just said, ”You’re out?”

Shen Wen sat down opposite him and gave a hum of affirmation.

Old Man Shennong placed a white piece, looked up at him, his gaze circling his face, and his eyebrows quirked up slightly.

”Those eyes of yours—”

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning, ”Young man, you must exercise restraint.”

Shen Wen’s face darkened.

Old Man Shennong withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the chessboard, his tone casual, ”Your wife is a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python; take it easy on yourself, don’t ruin your Foundation.”

Shen Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the speechlessness in his heart, and said, ”Your Disciple has come to find Revered Master to ask for guidance on Alchemy.”

Old Man Shennong placed a black piece, not looking up, ”Speak.”

Shen Wen said, ”Your Disciple wants to attempt to refine a Ninth Grade Pill.”

Old Man Shennong’s hand paused.

He looked up at Shen Wen, his gaze filled with scrutiny.

”Ninth Grade?”

Shen Wen nodded.

”Pass my test first!”
