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

Chapter 332 Ancient Sacred Body[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully taken Tang Huo’er as a concubine (Rating: 94), meeting the System reward criteria!]

[Congratulations to the host for winning the beauty. Rewards: Desolate Ancient Saint Body Origin, Heavenly Emperor Fist]

[Detected that the concubinage is finalized, issuing betrothal gifts: Fire Phoenix Body Origin, Immortal Nirvana Scripture]

[If the favorability between the two increases, for every 10% increase, further rewards can be obtained.]

[Do you wish to receive the rewards?]

With a thought, Shen Wen replied: Receive all.

In the next moment, two completely different streams of information flooded into his mind.

Desolate Ancient Saint Body.

This was an extremely overbearing Physique, renowned for its physical strength.

When cultivated to Major Achievement, the Physical Body becomes indestructible and immune to all techniques.

With a wave of the hand, one could shake heaven and earth; with a single punch, one could shatter mountains and rivers.

As for that Heavenly Emperor Fist, it was created by the Heavenly Emperor Ye, who had reached the pinnacle of the Desolate Ancient Saint Body; it was the fist technique and Cultivation Technique most suited for this overbearing Physique.

Shen Wen sensed the Origin power surging into his body and nodded inwardly.

His Physical Body was already powerful, possessing the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body, the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, the primordial dragon bone, and the Present Tathagata Sutra.

Now, adding the Desolate Ancient Saint Body made it a fourfold stack.

He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation regarding what level his Physical Body would reach once these powers were completely fused.

As for the Fire Phoenix Body and the Immortal Nirvana Scripture, those were for Tang Huo’er.

The Fire Phoenix Body was a top-tier Physique on par with the Phoenix, and it complemented her Nine Dragon Lightning Flame perfectly.

The Immortal Nirvana Scripture was an even deeper Cultivation Technique; it was said that at its peak, one could undergo Nirvana and Rebirth.

In the following days, Shen Wen’s life was fulfilling and peaceful.

During the day, he learned the refining of Ninth Grade Pills from Old Man Shennong; at night, he returned to accompany his wives, occasionally visiting the neighboring courtyard to see Cao Ying and listen to her talk about the affairs of the manor.

Cao Ying’s belly was gradually showing, and she was no longer as busy as before, spending most of her time in the backyard nursing her pregnancy.

Xiao Yi Xian took over the manor’s affairs, handling various miscellaneous tasks daily, and she kept everything in perfect order.

Cai Lin focused on accompanying Shen Yinian; that little girl was growing fast and could already crawl now, scurrying all over the courtyard so fast that one could hardly catch her.

Dan Chen remained buried in Alchemy; after obtaining the Supreme Pill Body, her interest in Alchemy became even more intense than before, and she spent all day soaked in the Pill Refining Room without coming out.

Tang Huo’er was still a bit reserved when she first entered the family, but she was quickly pulled in by her older sisters and integrated into the household.

One day, just as Shen Wen returned from Old Man Shennong’s place, he saw Cao Ying sitting in the Flower Hall, holding a ledger and flipping through it unhurriedly.

Seeing him enter, she looked up, the corners of her lips curling into a slight smile.

“You’re back?”

Shen Wen nodded and sat down beside her, his gaze sweeping over her lower abdomen.

“How are you doing today?”

Cao Ying said, “Quite well. One Thought was just leaning against my stomach listening for movement, saying her younger brother was moving.”

Shen Wen chuckled. “How does she know it’s a brother?”

Cao Ying raised an eyebrow. “Intuition.”

Shen Wen shook his head and said nothing more.

Cao Ying put down the ledger, took out a jade talisman from her sleeve, and handed it to him.

“By the way, a message came from Qing Lin’s side.”

Shen Wen took the jade talisman and sent his Soul Power into it.

After a moment, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

Cao Ying looked at him. “What is it?”

Shen Wen said, “Yao Ming’s side has set their sights on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Following my instructions, they created some friction, and now the two sides are in a standoff.”

Cao Ying nodded and didn’t ask further.

Shen Wen put away the jade talisman, leaned back against the chair, and looked out the window.

Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Void Ancient Dragon, Nine Serene Earth Nether Python.

The balance between these three tribes was being broken bit by bit.

And he only needed to stand in the shadows and watch quietly.

Just then, the familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind—

[Ding! Detected an increase in favorability from the Main Wife Cao Ying toward the host. Current favorability: 80%!]

[Rewards: darkness ancestral talisman, dark holy scythe]

[Ding! Detected an increase in favorability from the Main Wife Cao Ying toward the host. Current favorability: 90%!]

[Rewards: life and death ancestral talisman, qiankun ancient formation disk, Profound Heaven Hall]

[Do you wish to receive the rewards?]

With a thought, Shen Wen replied: Receive all.

In the next moment, two vast powers surged into his body simultaneously.

darkness ancestral talisman.

A deep black light lit up in his Sea of Consciousness, as profound as an abyss, as if it could swallow all light.

Shen Wen closed his eyes, sensing that power.

Darkness was not simple ’nothingness,’ but an extremely pure power. It could devour light, conceal traces, and transform into the sharpest blade.

And that dark holy scythe was a divine object refined by the Symbol Ancestor using this kind of power.

With one swing of the scythe, all could be severed.

Immediately after, the life and death ancestral talisman.

Two rays of light intertwined as they surged into his body, one pure white and one pitch black.

Life and death, two completely opposite powers, were now perfectly fused together.

The power of life could heal all injuries.

The power of death could strip away all vitality.

Shen Wen opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.

In his palm, the phantoms of eight ancestral talismans slowly emerged.

Flame, Ice, Devouring, Space, Darkness, Life-Death—

The eight great ancestral talismans were all gathered in his hands alone.

He raised his hand and gently clenched his fist.

The eight phantoms lit up simultaneously, intertwining in his palm into a brilliant wheel of light.

The light wheel rotated slowly, emitting heart-palpitating fluctuations.

If anyone were present, they would surely be so shocked they’d be speechless.

ancestral talismans were the eight great Origin powers of the Tian Xuan Continent.

Any single ancestral talisman was enough to make countless experts fight to the death.

And Shen Wen alone possessed eight.

Cao Ying sat to the side, looking at the brilliant wheel of light in his palm, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

But she didn’t ask.

There were too many secrets on Shen Wen, so many that she didn’t even bother to inquire anymore.

As long as he was her husband, that was enough.

Shen Wen withdrew the ancestral talismans, turned to look at her, and suddenly reached out to pull her into his embrace.

Cao Ying was slightly startled, then relaxed and leaned against his shoulder.

“What is it?”

Shen Wen lowered his head, resting his chin on the crown of her head, and said softly, “Nothing, I just wanted to hold you.”

Cao Ying smiled.

She reached out to wrap her arms around his waist, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.

The sunlight from outside spilled in through the gauze curtains, falling on the two of them and coating them in a layer of warm light.

...

In the following days, Shen Wen completely immersed himself in the comprehension of the eight great ancestral talismans.

Flame, Ice, Devouring, Space, Darkness, Life-Death—

Each ancestral talisman represented a type of Origin power, and each Origin power was as vast as the sea.

With the bodhi heart and the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, and the Future Non-Existence Sutra for deduction, his speed of comprehension was astonishingly fast.

But even so, to completely Revered Master these eight powers would take time.

One day, just as Shen Wen emerged from the Quiet Room, he saw Old Man Shennong standing in the courtyard, leaning on that staff hung with jade bottles, his gaze falling on him.

“You’re out?”

Shen Wen nodded and walked up to him.

Old Man Shennong looked at him, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, “There are a few more powers on your body.”

Shen Wen did not deny it.

“This old man won’t pry into your secrets; I only hope that one day I can see the birth of the emperors pill!”

Shen Wen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“This Disciple will surely let Revered Master see the emperors pill.”

Old Man Shennong looked at him and suddenly smiled.

That smile carried a bit of gratification and a bit of satisfaction.

“Fine, this old man just wanted to remind you.” He turned to walk toward the gate, took two steps, and suddenly looked back, “By the way, you can start refining those Ninth Grade Pills.”

Shen Wen was slightly startled.

Old Man Shennong said, “During these days, while you were comprehending those powers, you were still able to thoroughly digest what I taught you. This Heart-Nature is enough.”

“Starting tomorrow, I will personally watch you refine them.”

As his voice fell, that thin figure had already disappeared outside the gate.

Shen Wen stood in the courtyard, looking at the closed gate, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

Ninth Grade Pills.

It was finally about to begin.
