Chapter 498: Chapter 158: Master, I Can Bear You Children Too

Qin Gengyun left Danxia Peak, his figure like lightning, heading towards Divinity Transformation Peak in the cover of night.

At this moment, his feelings were somewhat complicated. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

His wife returned safely, and his heart was finally at ease.

Yet she still refused to reveal the deepest secret hidden in her heart.

In fact, Qin Gengyun already had a vague guess about her true identity.

But such a thing was truly astonishing; without her admitting it personally, he dared not confirm it.

But if his guess was true, and she was that person.

What should he do?

Perhaps many plans for the future would have to change.

But one thing was certain, he would not leave her.

She appeared in the darkest moment of his life, illuminating his path forward, giving him hope to live on.

The journey to the Northern Wilderness lifted Qin Gengyun from the mindset of a small Loose Cultivator to a broader perspective involving Zhenyang Sect, the Three Great Sects, and even the entire world.

His goal transformed from merely cleansing Pill Poison and living virtuously to the "Righteous Path of the World."

The so-called Righteous Path of the World is to recognize right and wrong, see the truth, not allowing the hypocritical Righteous Path to occupy a high position, nor letting the Demon Sect that truly committed evil to continue at large.

Since coming to this world and gaining such opportunities, he could no longer live as aimlessly as before, like dust.

Moreover, if his wife was truly that person, what Qin Gengyun was doing in Zhenyang Sect: investigating the mastermind behind the collusion with Spirit Corpse Mountain, uncovering the truth of Sheng Tanglian’s harm five hundred years ago, and Cyan Lotus Sect’s branding as a Demon Sect.

Indeed genuinely helped her.

The path I walk is for my heart, and for her.

Now since she does not want to tell me her secret, I will silently stay by her side.

As Qin Gengyun was pondering, his heart stirred, and he halted, looking towards the dark mountain ahead.

"Jian Yue, come out."

In the next moment, a graceful and cold figure appeared, with a bewitching, fawning smile on her face:

"Master’s cultivation has advanced again, to be able to detect someone so far away."

Qin Gengyun frowned: "You knew I would pass by here, so you waited for me deliberately?"

Jian Yue giggled: "Master and Madam are deeply affectionate, knowing that Madam has returned, naturally you would have a lovely time together. I dared not disturb you, so I had no choice but to wait on your way back."

Qin Gengyun said: "Is it the day for the Soul-devouring Pill to act up again?"

Jian Yue swayed her hips, moving before Qin Gengyun, coquettishly saying: "How can Master say that? Even without the Soul-devouring Pill, I miss you every moment."

Qin Gengyun chuckled lightly, raising his hand to infuse a few strands of Spiritual Power into Jian Yue, suppressing the poison of the Soul-devouring Pill that was about to act up.

Jian Yue’s face displayed extreme comfort, she marveled: "Master, why only give me so little? Has Madam drained you dry?"

Qin Gengyun calmly said: "What is the matter with the red smoke from Six Peaks today?"

Jian Yue giggled: "So Master wanted to ask me about this. Rest assured, I came to find you to talk about this matter."

Soon, Jian Yue recounted the events of the Six Peaks meeting during the day.

"What? Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan died on Cyan Lotus Mountain?!"

Qin Gengyun was incredulous, his heart more convinced of his guess.

He calmed his mind and continued: "Given this, Zhenyang Sect has consecutively lost three elders, their strength greatly diminished. Now they urgently need talented young disciples to rise up?"

This was an opportunity to ascend to a high position and approach core secrets.

"Wow! Master is so smart, that’s exactly what I wanted to tell you!"

Jian Yue clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling, leaning her body towards Qin Gengyun:

"Master, with such talent, if you sow your seed in me, let me bear your offspring, surely they would be destined for Ascension in the future! Master, don’t you want to leave the finest seeds? Oh!"

Qin Gengyun pushed away Jian Yue who had leaned on him, coldly said:

"Act up again, and tomorrow you shall endure the torment of the Soul-devouring Pill."

Only then did Jian Yue behave, respectfully saying: "Master, I know my mistake."

Qin Gengyun then continued: "If we wish to quickly enter the core upper echelons, what do you suggest?"

Jian Yue laughed charmingly: "Naturally the Immortal Ascension Ceremony."

"Immortal Ascension Ceremony?"

"Yes, now with turmoil within Zhenyang Sect, their strength waning, they urgently need to restore their prestige. The Immortal Ascension Ceremony is held once every twenty years, the largest event in the Cultivation Realm, and only allows young Cultivators to participate."

"Seizing the crown grants entry to Immortal Flying Pavilion to observe Ancient Immortal Techniques and select treasures."

"It is the perfect opportunity for all young cultivators to soar up the ladder!"

"If Master can win the crown at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, he is sure to become a Commanding Disciple. With the Peak Master position vacant on Divinity Transformation Peak, who knows, Master might even become Peak Master at one stroke!"

Qin Gengyun said: "I’ve been in the sect for just a year, it’s impossible to become Peak Master so quickly, no matter what."

Jian Yue’s eyes twinkled: "If Zhenyang Sect encounters another incident at that time, and circumstances require urgent measures, with Tantai Mingyue’s nature, it’s not impossible for her to compromise."

Qin Gengyun frowned silently.

Jian Yue knelt, looking up with a flattering expression: "Master, I have told you everything, please grant me it."

Qin Gengyun raised his hand, touching Jian Yue’s forehead, finally infusing enough Spiritual Energy into her body to sustain her for several months.

"Thank you, Master! I wasn’t joking earlier, if Master wants to sow, I am ready anytime!"

Jian Yue giggled, her figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Qin Gengyun remained silent for a moment, looked back at the direction of Danxia Peak, muttering to himself:

"Immortal Ascension Ceremony..."

In Danxia Peak, inside Ruo Mei’s room.

Liu Su lay sprawled messily on the bed, sobbing:

"Wuwuwu, Miss, you have such a cruel heart! The master beat your buttocks, you didn’t dare fight back, so you came to bully me, wuwuwu, my fate is so bitter!"

Qiu Zhihe’s demeanor was cold, unmoved, merely standing by the bed, raising her hand again.

Liu Su immediately stopped crying, instantly getting dressed, sitting well-behaved:

"Hehe, miss, I was just joking, don’t get angry."

Qiu Zhihe glared at her, only then asked: "Did you tell Yun Wu about Wei Wan being Ling?"

Liu Su nodded: "Xiaowu joined Zhenyang Sect to track the real culprit, we couldn’t bear to hide it from her."

Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly, suddenly said: "Go back immediately, and watch Xiaowu."

Liu Su was startled: "Miss, Wei Wan is a Golden Core Cultivator, Xiaowu doesn’t have any cultivation, she wouldn’t be so reckless, right?"

...

Xiyue Peak.

In a secluded grove.

Slap!!

The sound of whipping echoed continuously.

Wei Wan knelt on the ground, only wearing her undergarments, in front a light curtain projected the back of a man.

A God-piercing Whip was being remotely controlled by the man at a great distance, leaving fresh scars on Wei Wan’s scar-strewn, slender body.

"Xia Qinglian killed three elders in succession, yet you haven’t even tracked her shadow. So useless, how do you deserve to be my daughter? Today you must be properly punished!"
