Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 938: Your Protector Is Truly Amazing!


Two little bells kept drawing arcs in the air, producing soft tinkling sounds. The ancestor had actually already reached the point where she could achieve a perfect Nirvana. But having been starved at the peak of Saint King for so many years, when she finally encountered such a grand feast, she simply could not bear to stop.

She secretly sighed that the three younger women did not know how blessed they were—they were even reluctant to endure this little bit of hardship. She continued to persist. She wanted to wait until Ye Chen was finished!

But in the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Several times, the ancestor almost could not hold on and wanted to give up on her own. Yet she could not bear to.

Until today… The ancestor still did not make a sound. But she directly fainted…

Ye Chen felt a little disappointed, but a trace of a smile also appeared on his face. The ancestor's absorption capacity had still exceeded his expectations. As expected, only the older sisters could truly endure hardship. This time, he had given away almost half of everything. That was already quite good.

Ye Chen looked at the four women lying in a neat row on the ground, resting, their bodies shining so brightly they were almost blinding. He smiled lightly and asked, "Qinghe, are you all alright?"

Hearing this, Fan Qinghe, her master, and her grandmaster—all dizzy-headed, eyes unfocused, cheeks flushed—could not speak a word. But of course, they had to respond to Ye Chen's concern.

So all three raised their hands and made a "V" gesture toward him, forcing smiles onto their faces despite their dazed eyes, indicating that they were fine. Even the ancestor, who barely still had a shred of consciousness left, saw the three younger women's actions and weakly raised her hand to make a "V" as well…

Looking at the happy smiles on all four faces, even the well-traveled Ye Chen could not help but take out a recording stone to capture the moment.

At the same time, the system's notification sound finally rang in Ye Chen's mind. It seemed the system had taken the "V" gesture as the sign that the gifting had ended.

Since Ye Chen had started the serious business the moment he saw Fan Qinghe, he had not even had time to check the change in her multiplier.

He opened the system now. Two notifications appeared before his eyes…

"Detected that the recipient's multiplier has changed…"

"Fan Qinghe: Increased to 7,000 times!"

This made Ye Chen's eyes light up. She had jumped straight from the previous 4,000 times to 7,000 times. A full increase of 3,000 times.

As expected, the later the Nirvana, the greater the improvement each time. Then next time, when he came at the peak of Quasi-Immortal, wouldn't she directly break ten thousand?

Fan Qinghe might actually become the second ten-thousand-times female cultivator by his side. Even Ye Chen himself had not expected this. One had to admit that the Heavenly Desire Sect's cultivation method was truly outrageous. She could basically lie down and become an immortal. Her aptitude would keep increasing too.

Fortunately, the requirements were also high enough. To be honest, aside from himself, Ye Chen did not think anyone else could afford to raise a Heavenly Desire Sect Divine Maiden like this. It could only be said that the Heavenly Desire Sect seemed tailor-made for him.

…

Ye Chen did not dwell on it and continued reading downward.

"Congratulations, Host, on the successful gift…"

"Gift given: Cultivation gains from the Fourth to Sixth Heaven of Mahayana…"

"6,000-times feedback in progress…"

"Detected that the gift is extremely important to the recipient, triggering intense emotional fluctuation…"

"Maximum critical hit feedback triggered!"

"Feedback: Ten-thousand-times gifted cultivation gains…"

"Feedback: Primordial Opening Qi!"

"Primordial Opening Qi: The very first wisp of qi at the birth of a great world. It has endless wondrous uses and can be used when advancing to the Great Saint realm and promoting the cave heaven into a world…"

"It can increase the foundation of one's own world, increase world power, and increase the Host's comprehension and application of the laws of space and time…"

"The time flow speed of one's own world will be greatly enhanced…"

"The speed at which one's own world devours and improves will be greatly enhanced…"

Looking at the feedback, Ye Chen revealed a smile. As expected, the Heavenly Desire Sect existed for him. The ten-thousand-times return of cultivation gains was one thing. There was even a treasure that could help him advance to Great Saint.

Ye Chen had originally not planned to use any treasures to assist his cultivation. After all, his cave heaven was too outrageous. Most treasures were simply useless to it. He had never expected such a pleasant surprise.

Looking at Fan Qinghe, who was still lying there with dazed, unfocused eyes, completely lost in her own world, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth curved up. There was a kind of joy in raising her.

Fan Qinghe had started with only 2,500 times. He had fed her bit by bit until she reached 7,000 times now. The feedback was getting better and better. It was simply perfect.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen could not help but gently stroke Fan Qinghe's cheek.

Fan Qinghe's body twitched a couple of times naturally. She hurriedly begged for mercy in a weak voice: "Brother… really, it's already a perfect transformation… any more… If my cultivation goes any higher, I really will explode!"

Ye Chen laughed, his playful heart stirred. He flicked the two little bells on the ancestor. If it were any other time, the ancestor would definitely have gotten up to thank Ye Chen properly and prepared for the next transformation to leave a deeper impression on him. But now she could not even do that. She could only smile weakly at Ye Chen, indicating that she still needed some time to digest what she had received.

Ye Chen had only been in a good mood and acting on a whim. He waved his hand, telling them to properly refine what they had received. He himself sat cross-legged and began receiving the feedback.

In an instant, the Heavenly Heart Imprint deep between his brows—which had lost more than half its brilliance and looked somewhat dim—lit up with divine light. Terrifying power surged and boiled within him.

Ye Chen could not help letting out a muffled groan. After all, it was a full ten-thousand-times return. If Ye Chen did not have the Primordial Chaos Supreme Body, even an immortal body would probably have exploded instantly. Even though he could barely endure it, it was still extremely uncomfortable.

The ferocious power and laws rampaged wildly inside his body, constantly causing injuries that were instantly healed.

During this process, Ye Chen digested everything he had received at an astonishing speed. Once the digestion was complete, his combat strength would probably surge by an unknown amount once again.

Ye Chen also noticed that the system had probably reached its limit at ten thousand times. That was why it had only returned ten thousand times. The remaining value had been given to him as a strand of Primordial Opening Qi.

One had to admit, it was really thoughtful.

Just like that, the cave residence that had been warm and spring-like moments ago instantly turned serious.

Ye Chen was cultivating. The four women also helped each other up one after another. They then sat down around Ye Chen and began seriously digesting everything they had gained this time. Only the soft ringing of the ancestor's bells kept the cave residence from being completely silent.

In this manner, another full month passed.

Ye Chen finally finished digesting everything. The Heavenly Heart Immortal Crystal between his brows had become sparkling and transparent, and even its size had increased noticeably. The divine patterns on it were even more complex and profound.

But Ye Chen could also feel that his comprehension and insight toward heaven and earth had advanced another level. If he encountered the Alkaid Holy Son again now, he could probably crush him with a single glance. The improvement was truly enormous.

Around Ye Chen, the four women also let out long, fragrant sighs one after another. They opened their eyes. It had taken a full month to digest the gains from this Nirvana ceremony. One could imagine how much benefit they had received.

Fan Qinghe and the other three looked at Ye Chen as if they were looking at an immortal. Their eyes were filled with thick adoration. This was simply too unbelievable.

Ye Chen had single-handedly helped the four of them complete their Nirvana. Not only had Ye Chen's aura not weakened, but they even vaguely sensed that he seemed to have taken another step forward. Now all four of them were at the Sixth Heaven, the peak of Saint King—the same realm as Ye Chen.

Yet when they sensed Ye Chen's aura, it felt as if they were facing a being on an entirely different level of life. Even if the four of them added up, they probably would not be able to withstand a single punch from him. This method of becoming even stronger after being "drained" was truly unheard of. It had never happened in the entire history of the Heavenly Desire Sect.

But they also understood even more clearly just how precious Ye Chen was. After all, if every cultivator became stronger the more they were drained, the Heavenly Desire Sect would have long become the number one holy land in the cultivation world. It was precisely because Ye Chen was the only one that he was so valuable.

Thinking of this, gratitude surged in all four women's hearts. The ceremony had ended. Next came the gratitude segment.

Ye Chen did not refuse. After all, everyone had been busy cultivating during the ceremony. Now it was time for the pure enjoyment version. He wanted to see whether Fan Qinghe had improved dramatically after two and a half years of training with her master and grandmaster.

Thus, Fan Qinghe used the combined technique she had practiced with her master and grandmaster for two and a half years.

Although the ancestor did not have a combined technique, she was even more proficient and at ease. The bells rang softly, creating endless wonderful rhythms…

…

Ye Chen's strength had surged, and he was perhaps a little overheated as well. So he stayed a few more days. Another full month passed before the five of them finally walked out of the cave residence.

Apart from Fan Qinghe, who looked a little resentful, her master, grandmaster, and the ancestor all had glowing complexions. When they looked at Ye Chen now, there was a trace of awe in their eyes.

The Heavenly Desire Sect relied on this to make a living, and they had always been the ones in control. But in front of Ye Chen, they had been completely suppressed.

This made them even more certain that Ye Chen's physique was extraordinary. It was most likely some kind of powerful immortal body that had never appeared in the cultivation world before. But this also made the four women even happier.

After all, who wouldn't like that?

Ye Chen was also very satisfied. There were many styles, many props, high skill, and excellent service attitude. He liked it too. So he smiled lightly at Fan Qinghe and said, "Focus on refining what you've gained next. After breaking through, prioritize stabilizing your cultivation…

"As for raising your cultivation further, that's not something you need to worry about. When I reach the peak of Quasi-Immortal and eliminate all my great enemies, I will naturally come and help you achieve Quasi-Immortal as well!"

After speaking, Ye Chen also handed over the Sand of Heavenly Will, Dao Severing methods, imprint formation methods, and other treasures. Although the four women had reached the required realm, they still needed to make up for the missing conditions afterward. Giving them more supplementary treasures would increase their endurance, allowing him to gift even more next time.

Looking at the treasures that most holy lands could not even produce, the four women's pretty faces flushed red. Their dazed eyes were filled with pleasant surprise. This… they got to eat, play, and still received treasures in the end? Was this heaven? Qinghe's protector was simply too amazing!

With gratitude surging in their hearts, the four women wanted to show Ye Chen everything they had learned in their lives once more. But Ye Chen shook his head. "Next time…"

He had also reached his limit now, and the feeling was not very comfortable. He had to go back and break through…

Rubbing Fan Qinghe's small head, Ye Chen left without any reluctance. He rose gracefully and boarded the immortal ship that had been waiting for him. His figure disappeared, leaving only the four generations of the Heavenly Desire Sect staring after him with dazed, reluctant eyes.

After a long time, the ancestor finally murmured, "I only knew before that Qinghe's protector was very powerful, but I never expected him to be this powerful… Qinghe, your protector is truly amazing!"

Her master and grandmaster also chimed in with unanimous praise: "Indeed, Qinghe, your protector is really amazing!"

Fan Qinghe: "…"

Although she was being praised, why did it sound so strange…
