Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 80 - 78: A Million Passions, Heroes Gather

Chapter 80: Chapter 78: A Million Passions, Heroes Gather

"Zhou Chen, it’s time to set off!"

"Coming!"

Zhou Chen responded, looking at Qin Hongyu, Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Zhao Shiyong, Yu Youwei, Gu Qiushui, and Li Qingxia:

"You all should cultivate diligently at home, I’ll be conducting a thorough check when I return!"

The six women blushed, with Qin Hongyu especially embarrassed, burying her head, her cheeks scorching. Being the first woman by Zhou Chen’s side, she was well aware of his tricks.

"Young Master Zhu, may you have a smooth journey and return with bountiful rewards!"

Celestial Fragrance Fairy and the others offered their blessings. The Celestial Cloud Secret Realm posed considerable danger for martial artists at the Body Refining Seventh Layer, but Zhou Chen had demonstrated part of his prowess, easing their worries.

Although they remained somewhat concerned, they kept it to themselves.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Zhou Chen waved his hand, left the house, and met up with Li Changhen to head towards Cyan Cloud Peak together.

Martial Arts Plaza of Cyan Cloud Peak.

Dozens of disciples, each with powerful auras and distinct demeanors, gathered together; some in groups of three or two, others standing aloof and solitary.

Even the weakest among them were at the Body Refining Seventh Layer and were the best in this realm.

Cyan Cloud Sect had fifty spots; all thirty-four true inheritors had arrived.

The remaining sixteen were to be selected from inner sect disciples.

Ten from Body Refining Ninth Layer, four from Body Refining Eighth Layer, and two from Body Refining Seventh Layer.

Pang Yunlong, the top at Body Refining Seventh Layer in Cyan Cloud Sect, was among them, looking embarrassed.

He followed behind Deng Yiqiang, the senior brother of Black Dragon Peak.

Beside Deng Yiqiang were three others, all true inheritors from Black Dragon Peak.

As Zhou Chen and Li Changhen arrived, many eyes fell on Zhou Chen, but most only gave a casual glance before losing interest.

Zhou Chen felt several resentful glances and looked up to see the people from Black Dragon Peak.

"Deng Yiqiang, Pang Yunlong..."

It was no surprise for Zhou Chen regarding these two with whom he previously had conflicts, but he didn’t recognize the disciple standing in front of Pang Yunlong.

However, with a quick thought, Zhou Chen guessed the person’s identity.

Wei Monarch.

Body Refining Ninth Layer, inner sect disciple.

Since Black Dragon Peak already had Deng Yiqiang and three other true inheritors, Wei Monarch had only two paths to become a true inheritor.

One was to defeat other true inheritors.

But that was beyond his capability.

The other was to take one of the remaining three spots of Divine Arrow Peak. (At that time, Zhou Chen hadn’t joined Cyan Cloud Sect, and Divine Arrow Peak had only Li Changhen as a true inheritor.)

As a result, he was defeated by Li Changhen’s arrow and told he was too weak to be a true inheritor.

Wei Monarch was greatly humiliated and could no longer mention becoming a true inheritor.

In his heart, he saw it as a lifelong disgrace, harboring deep resentment towards Li Changhen and Divine Arrow Peak.

"Daring to venture into the Celestial Cloud Secret Realm at Body Refining Seventh Layer, truly courting death!"

Wei Monarch looked at Zhou Chen with rising killing intent: "Divine Arrow Peak has only two prized disciples. If one were to fall, wouldn’t it be quite interesting!"

He had already reached the Realm of the First Transition; while he couldn’t contend with those true inheritors above the third transition, it would be as simple as crushing an ant to kill Zhou Chen at Body Refining Seventh Layer.

Once advancing past the Body Refining Ninth Layer to perfection, mastering an additional martial art constitutes a transition. This means, including the primary martial art, he had mastered two superior martial arts. (Note: Focus on the point, transition doesn’t include the primary martial art).

Only the first time is difficult; cultivating a second martial art is like undergoing Body Tempering again after completing it, much simpler and faster.

The more Body Tempering, the stronger and purer the body becomes, accelerating cultivation.

However, this also requires talent and resources.

Without sufficient talent, one can only cultivate fewer martial arts.

Lacking resources, advancement remains the sole option.

Ordinary Loose Cultivators, fortunate to have a superior martial art, don’t need to consider these factors.

This is the fundamental reason why disciples from sects and noble families easily outmatch ordinary Loose Cultivators. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Thus.

Whether cultivating immortality or pursuing the Martial Dao, becoming strong is limited to a few.

In immortal cultivation, it’s about Spirit Root; one in ten thousand has such roots, and good Spirit Roots are even rarer.

The entry barrier is low for the Martial Dao but also has hidden thresholds. Most people’s basic aptitudes can’t master many martial arts, limiting their strength and potential.

Even Li Changfeng might only achieve around a dozen to twenty transitions.

The high talents capable of reaching seventy-two transitions like Cyan Cloud Fairy remain few.

Otherwise, everyone would be a powerhouse.

"You want to kill me?"

Zhou Chen, engaging in Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation, had his soul deeply intertwined with Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi in the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror, immensely powerful and keen.

He instantly sensed Wei Monarch’s profound malice towards him.

"You old scoundrel, better pray not to encounter me!"

Zhou Chen sentenced him to death in his heart. Yet, given the vastness of the Celestial Cloud Secret Realm and the random dispersal upon entry, he couldn’t guarantee finding him.

As for strength?

Zhou Chen estimated Wei Monarch at most to have undergone two or three transitions, whereas he accumulated a full million Wind and Moon Points in the past two months, poised for a frenzied boost once in the Secret Realm.

Accumulating a million in two months owed much to Sister Xing and Celestial Fragrance Fairy.

Sister Xing, a Body Refining Ninth Layer expert, engaged multiple times since the first.

Zhou Chen often went to Celestial Immortal Tower to discuss life and cultivation with Sister Xing and the girls there.

Every time, he’d face ten of them.

Additionally, since welcoming Celestial Fragrance Fairy home and assimilating into Zhou Chen’s big family, the Wind and Moon Points surged incrementally as numbers grew.

On average, he earned twenty thousand Wind and Moon Points daily.

Skipping past the conspicuous group from Black Dragon Peak, Zhou Chen looked toward Spirit Medicine Peak, abundant with female disciples, standing there like a striking scene.

The leading girl, clad in a flowing green outfit with a small fragrant pouch at her waist, had skin as fair as white jade, surpassing snow with a faint pink hue, dazzlingly beautiful.

Her waist was slender, not even enough for a handful, but her bearing was broad, vast like the sea, yet full of Spiritual Qi, uniquely charming with an aura of vitality and fresh botanical fragrance, naturally inviting warmth.

The green-clad girl’s bright eyes swayed, her gaze sweeping across Zhou Chen, seemingly curious about him.

But when meeting Zhou Chen’s eyes, she hurriedly looked away, like a startled young deer.

"Spirit Medicine Peak’s senior sister Mu Ling’Er, tenth on the Hundred Flowers List, quite interesting..."

Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze, watching as Cyan Cloud Sect’s senior sister Shi Qingxuan and three charismatic disciples approached gracefully.

Two men and one woman, the other three true inheritors from Cyan Cloud Peak.

Zhou Chen glanced past the male disciples, focusing on the lady beside Shi Qingxuan, Qin Bingyun, Cyan Cloud Peak’s second senior sister.

Though her name, Bingyun, suggested coldness, she indeed had an explosive body, rumored to be a violence enthusiast, enjoying bisecting her victims with her sword.

Qin Bingyun, despite her beauty, had a red birthmark on her face; otherwise, she’d surely rank on the Hundred Flowers List.

Notably, Cyan Cloud Sect truly lived up to its millennium legacy, nurturing talents and treasures; among the fifty present, only three were Body Refining Seventh Layer, four at the Eighth Layer, and the rest above the Ninth, beneath the Divine Power Realm.

It could be said that the elite of Cyan Cloud Sect’s youth had gathered here.

The future Sect Leader, Peak Masters, Elders of Cyan Cloud Sect would mostly emerge from among them.

"The Sect Leader is here!"

As Zhou Chen silently observed, a flying ship descended from the peak of Cyan Cloud Peak, more magnificent and expansive than Li Changfeng’s ship, entirely silver, seamlessly constructed, truly awe-inspiring.

Qing Yuyao stood at the bow, hands behind her back, like an Empress reigning over the world, surveying rivers and mountains with majestic authority.

Zhou Chen looked up, but unfortunately, there was no scenic view as he imagined.

When the flying ship landed, streams of light converged.

These were the Peak Masters and Elders of various peaks.

Two streams landed beside Qing Yuyao, one step behind.

One was Li Changfeng, Peak Master of Divine Arrow Peak.

Another was a stern middle-aged man in black, carrying a long saber; Zhou Chen had seen him at the True Inheritor Ceremony before, the Celestial Blade Peak Master, Song Hao.

Others settled upon the high platform.

Clearly, the one leading this time was Sect Leader Qing Yuyao, along with the two Peak Masters, Li Changfeng and Song Hao.

The Sect Leader’s significance need not be elaborated.

Li Changfeng and Song Hao ranked among the top among Cyan Cloud Sect’s Peak Masters, exemplifying Cyan Cloud Sect’s emphasis on this journey to the Secret Realm.

After all, Cyan Cloud Sect’s young elite were nearly all here.

"Board the ship, set off."

Qing Yuyao glanced over the disciples, sparing words, crisp and direct.

The disciples orderly leapt onto the flying ship.

"Farewell to the Sect Leader!"

Under the gazes of numerous Peak Masters and Elders, the flying ship transformed into a stream of light, ascending to the clouds’ pinnacle, vanishing into the horizon.
