Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 77 - 75: Someone Messing with the Celestial Fragrance Fairy? I’ll Slap Them Right Back
Cyan Cloud City.
Celestial Immortal Tower.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother for sweeping through Lianyun Village, slaying Lianyun Ancestor, and intimidating the surrounding region."
Pang Yunlong raised his wine cup, his face beaming with a smile.
He is an inner sect disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect and a direct disciple of the Black Dragon Peak’s Peak Master, Li Shentong. At the Peak of the Body Refining Seventh Layer, he has long comprehended the essence of the Black Dragon Spear and is known as the top expert of the Cyan Cloud Body Refining Seventh Layer.
With the emergence of Zhou Chen, he is the inner sect disciple most likely to defeat Zhou Chen and ascend to True Inheritor.
"Lianyun Ancestor, nothing but a paper tiger!"
A cold and stern man, clad in black, with a spine straight as a spear, sat opposite Pang Yunlong and disdainfully said, "If it weren’t for honing the Celestial Blade Technique, I wouldn’t even bother to kill him!"
The cold and stern man, Deng Yiqiang, renowned for never needing a second strike, is a true inheritor of the Cyan Cloud Sect, the chief senior brother of Black Dragon Peak, and years ago, he had already perfected the Body Refining Ninth Layer, ready to ascend to the Divine Power Realm.
However, Deng Yiqiang is quite arrogant, aspiring to master the secret martial arts of the Nine Peaks of Cyan Cloud before advancing. He is currently practicing the secret martial art of Celestial Blade Peak, the Celestial Blade Technique.
Lianyun Ancestor was a Body Refining Ninth Layer expert skilled with the blade who had claimed a mountain as his domain, making a notable name for himself, yet he was effortlessly exterminated by Deng Yiqiang.
Often, the gap within the same realm is as vast as a chasm.
If the strength of a perfected Body Refining Ninth Layer is measured by a chopstick, the higher the martial art level, the thicker the chopstick naturally is.
And each additional martial art learned thickens the chopstick once more, equivalent to merging two chopsticks.
Deng Yiqiang has mastered the secret martial arts Black Dragon Spear, Coiling Dragon Staff, and four other ordinary superior martial arts.
Here, mastering means cultivating a martial art from the Body Refining First Layer to the perfected Body Refining Ninth Layer.
Equivalent to superimposing multiple tempering processes on the body, from skin, flesh, muscles, bones, marrow, blood, and the five internal organs.
Having perfected his primary martial art, Black Dragon Spear, Deng Yiqiang then mastered the Coiling Dragon Staff and four other ordinary superior martial arts, equivalent to tempering his body anew five times.
This state is referred to as the Fifth Transition Realm.
Each martial art mastered is one transition.
Each transition equates to transforming one’s root and body, making oneself more perfected.
For instance, mastering the Yi Arrow Skill of the Divine Arrow Peak transforms one into an Arrow Spirit Body. Even if inferior martial arts cannot form a Spirit Body, they will form a Half-Spirit Body.
Once Deng Yiqiang perfected the Black Dragon Spear, he chose Electric Light Divine Step as his second martial art. After mastering it, his physical body was tempered and transformed a second time, amounting to a Half-Spirit Body in terms of body techniques, resulting in a dramatic increase in speed.
This is merely the First Transition Realm. (Note: the number of transitions refers to those beyond the primary martial art.)
Now in the Fifth Transition Realm, Deng Yiqiang has mastered six martial arts, equating to six rounds of tempering, amounting to six types of Half-Spirit Bodies superimposed onto his form.
His strength is imaginable!
Faced with someone like Lianyun Ancestor, whose Body Refining Ninth Layer had no transitions, it was sheer obliteration.
It is said the Ancestor Cyan Cloud cultivated up to seventy-two transitions in the Body Refining Realm, adding the primary martial art, thus mastering seventy-three superior martial arts.
These seventy-three martial arts certainly included the eighteen classical weapons and various techniques like body techniques, fist styles, palm styles, claw styles, finger styles, etc.
Equivalent to having seventy-three Spirit Bodies or Half-Spirit Bodies converged into one, leaving no weaknesses, attaining perfection of the form, with every part of the body capable of becoming a killing machine.
In the Body Refining Realm, he could effortlessly slay those of the Divine Power Realm.
Once broken through, he would directly reach the pinnacle, the Divine Sea Realm.
This is why disciples with talent and resources strive to learn as many martial arts as possible at the Body Refining Ninth Layer.
As for ordinary martial artists, they need not consider such things. Firstly, they cannot find multiple superior martial arts, and secondly, without talent, they cannot succeed.
Thus, the strong are few; most remain ordinary.
"Senior Brother, the most famous in Celestial Immortal Tower is the Celestial Fragrance Fairy. Shall I call her to accompany you for a few drinks?"
Pang Yunlong, holding a beauty, reached his hand inside her skirt with Lu Shan’s Claw and laughed at Deng Yiqiang.
The eyes of the accompanying beauties trembled; who doesn’t know the Celestial Fragrance Fairy is Zhou Chen’s woman.
Yet neither Pang Yunlong nor Deng Yiqiang are people they can afford to offend.
Deng Yiqiang’s heart stirred. He knew well the relationship between Celestial Fragrance Fairy and Zhou Chen, as did Pang Yunlong, otherwise, he wouldn’t have consulted him first.
"Zhou Chen..."
Recalling the scene where a junior brother of his was defeated and humiliated by Li Changhen in a single move when attempting to ascend to True Disciple, his expression turned cold.
While he cannot fight Li Changhen, can’t he at least disgust Zhou Chen?
"Sure!"
Deng Yiqiang nodded calmly.
Pang Yunlong, akin to a flattering servant granted permission by his master, immediately called out loudly:
"Sister Xing, where’s the Celestial Fragrance Fairy? Can’t you see my Senior Brother is here? Invite her over to drink with him!"
"Oh dear, Young Masters, my apologies. Miss Tianxiang isn’t feeling well and isn’t fit to meet guests,"
Sister Xing hurriedly approached, swaying her ample hips, and smiled apologetically:
"Besides, Miss Tianxiang is only temporarily residing in the Celestial Immortal Tower; she has actually been redeemed by Young Master Zhou!"
"Why didn’t I know?"
Pang Yunlong’s voice was stern and harsh, angrily said, "I see you’re deliberately making excuses. What, just because Zhou Chen is a True Inheritor, my Senior Brother isn’t? Are you looking down on my Senior Brother?"
"How could I possibly look down on you two gentlemen? It’s just that Miss Tianxiang..."
Sister Xing silently lamented in her heart, but she could only grit her teeth and explain.
Pang Yunlong saw that Sister Xing lacked respect, making him lose face and feel embarrassed in front of senior brother.
Anger rose from his heart, and he raised his hand for a slap.
Smack!
Sister Xing, though possessing Body Refining Ninth Layer cultivation, was not strong in combat and did not anticipate the other party would strike her, nor did she intend to engage in a fight.
Her fair face suffered a heavy slap, causing her to fall sideways into a warm and strong embrace.
Smack!
A louder and more forceful slap sounded, and Pang Yunlong was sent flying, blood mixed with teeth spewing out, turning in midair, and crashing heavily onto a nearby table.
The table shattered, the huge commotion instantly drawing the attention of countless nearby guests.
In fact, when Pang Yunlong loudly called out Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s name earlier, it had already drawn countless stares, with everyone secretly observing, ready to enjoy the spectacle.
"It’s Zhou Chen!"
"Zhou Zhenchuan has arrived!"
"This is going to be a good show!"
When everyone recognized who hit Pang Yunlong, their pupils contracted, and the fire of gossip burned fiercely.
If there were trending searches.
Tomorrow’s top trending search would surely be: Shock! Two True Inheritors from Cyan Cloud Sect have a fierce fight at Celestial Immortal Tower—is it a distortion of human nature or a fall in morality?
"Zhou Chen, how dare you raise your hand against others?"
Deng Yiqiang stood up, resembling a divine spear, with sharpness on full display and a murderous aura.
He hadn’t expected Zhou Chen to dare strike his junior brother in front of him.
Truly, he didn’t regard him at all.
"He who strikes others shall be struck in turn!"
Embracing Sister Xing’s supple waist, Zhou Chen ignored Deng Yiqiang, focusing instead on Sister Xing’s face as he reached out to rub the five scarlet finger marks on her cheek.
Sister Xing’s body quivered slightly, her cheeks burning hot, tingling with numbness, but the earlier stinging pain disappeared quickly.
The scarlet marks faded swiftly under Zhou Chen’s massage.
People didn’t pay much attention. In the Extraordinary World, this was merely a minor technique; even Sister Xing could quickly reduce swelling through her own cultivation.
What shocked people was Zhou Chen’s blatant disregard for Deng Yiqiang’s presence, showcasing his arrogance and ostentation.
However...
Without strength, it’s foolish arrogance.
With strength, it’s formidable arrogance.
They didn’t hold high hopes for Zhou Chen.
Though Zhou Chen had great talent, he was at the Body Refining Seventh Layer, having just joined the sect a few months ago, whereas Deng Yiqiang was a veteran True Disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect.
"Well said, Junior Brother Zhou."
Deng Yiqiang’s eyes turned colder, "Today, let me, as your senior brother, give you some proper guidance!"
With that said, Deng Yiqiang lifted his hand in a slap aiming for Zhou Chen’s face.
Just as Zhou Chen intended to reveal a bit of his strength, an arrow shot forth, like a radiant moon hanging high, dazzling and brilliant.
Yet beneath the beautiful surface lay lethal intent.
Deng Yiqiang’s hair stood on end; he couldn’t keep his focus on Zhou Chen anymore, hastily spawning a spear in his hand to block the strike.
Bang.
The arrow struck the spear shaft with a thunderous sound; the terrifying force and momentum pressed down, causing Deng Yiqiang to taste sweetness in his mouth, nearly spitting blood.
He was forced back ten steps, barely stabilizing himself with the spear in hand.
"Sigh!"
Taking a deep breath, Deng Yiqiang suppressed the surging energy and blood in his chest, swallowed back the blood in his mouth, and coldly stared at the cold and elegant woman in black outside the door:
"Li Changhen!"
Fixating on Li Changhen’s slender and powerful graceful figure, he hadn’t expected that while he was making progress, the other side had advanced even more.
Although he suffered a sudden disadvantage, he was indeed wounded.
"Let’s go!"
Deng Yiqiang snorted coldly and left in disgrace.
"Senior Sister!"
Zhou Chen happily called out, just about to step forward, but Li Changhen had already turned to leave, without any hesitation, clean and neat.
"Senior Sister truly is cold on the outside, warm on the inside!"
