Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 79 - 77: Celestial Cloud Secret Realm, the Brilliantly Talented Cyan Cloud Fairy
"Of course, there’s no problem. Tianxiang being able to meet you, young master, is truly a blessing accumulated over ten lifetimes."
Sister Xing agreed readily, her eyes filled with envy. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
She, too, had once been a courtesan but, unfortunately, never met a good person like Zhou Chen.
"Sister Xing, it’s the last night. Why don’t you give Tianxiang some guidance again?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile.
"Young master only knows how to tease people."
Sister Xing gave Zhou Chen a sideways glance, but she didn’t ruin Zhou Chen’s fun; she had long been accustomed to such matters.
Wasn’t it just asking her to join Tianxiang together?
Zhou Chen flashed a smile, embraced Sister Xing, and returned to Tianxiang’s room.
One night of dance with dragons and fish.
The next day.
Zhou Chen was pleasantly surprised to discover that Wind and Moon Points had surged by twenty-five thousand.
He looked at Tianxiang and Sister Xing in his arms and truly felt reluctant to leave.
Sister Xing woke up gently. She hadn’t felt this way in a long time.
With tear-rimed beautiful eyes, she glanced at Tianxiang, then broke away from Zhou Chen’s embrace to get up.
Without a single strand of clothing, she boldly put on her robe in front of Zhou Chen and smiled back, "I won’t disturb the young master anymore!"
Zhou Chen felt a flame in his heart, watching as Sister Xing swayed her plump hips and left, thinking of coming back again next time.
"Young master, Sister Xing has gone far."
Tianxiang Fairy spoke softly, her beautiful eyes deeper than the night, clearly sensing the changes in Zhou Chen’s thoughts.
"Okay, let’s get up and go back too."
Zhou Chen decisively changed the topic, quickly getting up from bed.
The two tidied up, Tianxiang Fairy threw her belongings into a storage bag, needing no other preparations, and together they left Celestial Fragrance Tower.
"Tianxiang Fairy has left!"
Numerous people looked at Tianxiang Fairy and Zhou Chen leaving, feeling a deep sense of loss, though they couldn’t have her, staying in Celestial Immortal Tower always provided a sense of hope.
Smack!
Now that hope was thoroughly gone.
Zhao Shiyong waited overnight at the inn for Zhou Chen, then the three rode towards Cyan Cloud Sect.
The Jiaolong Horse was mighty and majestic, but even with three riders it wasn’t crowded, leaving the guarding disciples staring slack-jawed.
"Zhou Zhenchuan truly is a model for all of us!"
Returning home, Zhou Chen met Li Changfeng.
"You’ve had quite the fun, haven’t you?"
Li Changfeng reprimanded with a stern face, "I don’t care how you play, but if it affects your cultivation, watch how I’ll deal with you!"
"Master, rest assured, I focus on cultivation every day."
Zhou Chen said earnestly.
"I don’t believe a word!"
Li Changfeng rolled his eyes at him, saying:
"In two months, the Celestial Cloud Secret Realm in Qingzhou will open, only those below Divine Power Realm can enter."
"By then, disciples from major sects and families across Qingzhou will gather in the secret realm. With your current training level, it will be quite dangerous, but there are many heavenly treasures and divine weapons within."
"Cyan Cloud Sect has fifty spots. Decide for yourself whether to go or not?"
"Go! Of course, I’m going!"
Zhou Chen agreed enthusiastically, hoping that upon emerging from the secret realm, he could claim a sudden increase in power, achieving Body Refining Ninth Layer Perfection.
He could then rightfully train in the secret martial arts of other peaks.
"Alright, well prepare properly for these two months."
Li Changfeng didn’t say much more; he disliked overly interfering with disciples.
The path must be walked by oneself.
Whatever the result, no one else is to blame.
"Yes, Master."
Zhou Chen left and returned home, indulging with Qin Hongyu, Yu Youwei, Gu Qiushui, and Li Qingxia, and others for a wild week before going out for a breather.
He visited the Library Pavilion and continued reading.
Reading can illuminate wisdom and help one understand more information.
After reading for half a day, Zhou Chen borrowed several books to read slowly at home.
"Shi Rong, read this for me."
Zhou Chen rested his head on Yu Youwei’s lap, eating purple-red grapes fed by Tianxiang Fairy, enjoying massages from Li Qingxia and Gu Qiushui.
Qin Hongyu sat to one side, brewing tea for Zhou Chen.
Nestled in a small tower, ignoring the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Zhou Chen ate grapes, unwilling to leave.
Zhao Shiyong picked up a biography of Ancestor Cyan Cloud and softly read:
"At sixteen years of age, the ancestor started martial arts training, perfecting Body Refining Ninth Layer at eighteen, mastering twenty-one superior martial arts by age thirty, reaching the Body Refining Twentieth Turn."
"Friends advised the ancestor that the foundation was sufficient to ascend to Divine Power, yet the ancestor was not satisfied, traveling widely to gather martial arts knowledge."
"In thirty years, the ancestor collected fifty-two martial arts, achieving a terrifying Seventy-Two Turn state, defeating them across realms, leveraging the strength of body refinement to surpass Divine Sea."
"Is Cyan Cloud Fairy really that impressive?"
Zhou Chen was stunned.
Divine Power Realm is divided into three stages.
The first stage, condensing and strengthening Divine Power.
The second stage, Divine Power becomes strong, forms shapes, and can simulate weapons and various objects; this is an enhancement in the quality of Divine Power, also known as Divine Form Realm.
The third stage, Divine Power is sufficiently strong and can be condensed into any shape; though quality enhancement becomes difficult, the quantity of Divine Power begins to expand.
This expansion is like enlarging a pond into a vast lake or ocean, hence also called Divine Sea Realm.
Cyan Cloud Fairy fought across an entire major realm and three sub-realms, defeating her opponent.
Truly impressive.
"Ancestor Cyan Cloud is indeed exceptionally talented."
Zhao Shiyong, Tianxiang Fairy, Qin Hongyu, Li Qingxia, Yu Youwei, and Gu Qiushui were all amazed, as Ancestor Cyan Cloud was also a woman—a perfect idol for them.
Zhao Shiyong took a deep breath and continued to read softly:
"The ancestor felt the foundation was adequate, then ascended to Divine Power. On the day of advancement, seventy-three superior martial arts were condensed into Inner Qi becoming Divine Power, its strength unmatched."
"In a single surge, Divine Power took shape and broke through the Dantian, transforming into Divine Sea, immediately becoming a formidable practitioner of Divine Sea!"
"Wow!"
Zhou Chen sat up startled, even more amazed than hearing Cyan Cloud Fairy’s cross-level battle.
This was an accumulation of power leading to breakthrough, directly entering Divine Sea—truly impressive.
He felt he had found his direction.
Though his talents might not match Cyan Cloud Fairy, he possessed his own means and couldn’t afford to lag behind her, right?
Zhou Chen hurriedly took over the ancestor’s biography and began reading it.
"With a breakthrough to Divine Sea, friends came to congratulate, lamenting deeply, regretting their own choices."
It turned out that friends, not as talented as the ancestor, were unwilling to polish their skills in Body Refining Realm, advancing to Divine Power Realm without refining more than two martial arts.
After reaching Divine Power Realm, due to weak Divine Power, it took the friend twenty years just to barely accumulate enough strength to proceed to Divine Form Realm.
But even advancing to Divine Form Realm was difficult, the strength of Divine Power was insufficient to expand the Dantian. No matter the amount of time spent honing it, their entire life ended up constrained within Divine Form Realm.
Meanwhile, the ancestor spent thirty years in Body Refining Realm and advanced to Divine Sea earlier than friends, with unlimited potential and unrivaled strength, unmatched by peers.
"The ancestor said: ’Body refining is like building a bridge; one martial art forms a single log for a faltering, precarious bridge; hard to traverse far, weakest in strength.’
’The more martial arts practiced, accumulating logs, constructing a grand thoroughfare for smooth and rapid travel, overtaking others, with boundless potential.’
"Truly illuminating."
Zhou Chen grew increasingly curious about Ancestor Cyan Cloud, eager to see her in the flesh.
Given Cyan Cloud Fairy’s talent, although over a thousand years had passed, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance she still exists, just wandering unknown lands.
"What a pity!"
Zhou Chen sighed deeply, feeling quite regrettable.
He definitely wasn’t thinking about mounting the legendary master!
Time flew by.
Zhou Chen read daily and sought enlightenment, immersed in his pursuits, little aware of the passage of time—two months went by swiftly.
The Celestial Cloud Secret Realm was opened.
Li Changhen came calling:
"Zhou Chen, it’s time to head out!"
...
