Immortality Starts With Investment

The colossal tower ship blotted out the sky, its overwhelming aura and the radiant emblem of Heavenly Intention Holy Land proclaiming its arrival—one of the three great Holy Lands.

At the ship’s bow stood two figures. The man’s cold demeanor exuded dominance, intimidating onlookers. The woman seemed to glow with beauty, illuminating even the dark Endless Sea, as if she were the world’s most perfect creation. Their cultivation was staggering—two Unity realm powerhouses, a terrifying sight.

From afar, they spotted Ye Chen and Hua Yunfei. Heavenly Intention Holy Son’s gaze fixed on Ye Chen, recalling the words carved in the fiancée’s primordial spirit core, ripples disturbing his icy composure. He looked down arrogantly and spoke calmly to Yi Qingwu beside him, ”You needn’t act yet. I’ll take them both on. Once I cripple Ye Chen, you can vent your shame and wash away the humiliation.”

Heavenly Intention Holy Son, Ying Tiansheng, radiated supreme confidence, stronger than a year ago. Though Hua Yunfei was his peer in realm, the Divine King Body was beneath his notice. With his trump card, he’d catch him off guard and crush him easily. As for Ye Chen, his talent was daunting, but he was only at Deity Transformation. Killing and devouring them today would clear the immortal path for himself alone.

Yet, as his words fell, Yi Qingwu moved like a moon palace goddess, stepping toward Ye Chen as if she hadn’t heard him. Drawing near, her ethereal voice rang out, ”Ye Chen, if you’d avoided me, I wouldn’t have sought you out. But since you’re here, I must act. You escaped me by luck before, but you won’t be so fortunate now.”

Her voice was calm, almost melodic, her face bearing a faint smile, exuding confidence and poise. Onlookers sensed the rumors were wrong—perhaps Ye Chen hadn’t tied with her but had merely escaped using some inherited technique.

Ye Chen, seeing the stunning Yi Qingwu in her white dress, felt a thrill—not for her beauty or defiance, but because she might have brought what he wanted. He drifted off the ship, lips curling. ”Try me.” Even facing a Unity realm powerhouse a realm above him, he showed no fear.

Spectators marveled.

Yi Qingwu smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, her chin lifting with confident, lively eyes. ”You’re bold. But let’s see if you can still smile in my domain.”

In the next moment, her jade finger flicked. A profound, heavy domain force exploded between them, expanding at an incredible speed, threatening to engulf them both.

Hua Yunfei frowned, ready to intervene. Unity realm domains varied but always amplified the owner’s strength, turning ten parts of power into twelve, while limiting enemies to seven.

Ye Chen’s cultivation was lower than Yi Qingwu’s, and being engulfed by her domain would be dangerous. Yet, he shook his head, stopping Senior Brother from intervening. He didn’t move, letting the domain swallow him. In an instant, their figures vanished within the pure white domain, impenetrable to external spiritual senses.

Spectators were stunned. They’d assumed the Holy Lands would only clash after Tang Valley’s seal broke, fighting for treasures. Who’d have thought, right upon meeting, the top female cultivator Yi Qingwu would battle the Fourth Holy Son? This was deep-seated hatred. Too bad the domain was opaque—otherwise, it’d be a thrilling fight.

On Heavenly Intention Holy Land’s ship, Heavenly Intention Holy Son’s face darkened. His fiancée had ignored him, rushing out to pull Ye Chen into her domain for a private confrontation. Though they were fighting, he couldn’t help but think of the words and strange marks in her primordial spirit core, fueling his anger. He even considered breaking the domain to drag them out, just to feel at ease.

But he soon had no time for such thoughts. Seeing Ye Chen didn’t need help, Hua Yunfei stepped out from the ship, standing in the void. He looked at Heavenly Intention Holy Son with refined grace. ”Brother Ying, you killed our Holy Land’s elder. I’ve long wanted to spar with you. Since we’ve met today, please don’t hold back!”

Ying Tiansheng stopped staring at the domain. His fiancée, now in the Unity realm and wielding the Battle Secret tablet he’d given her, could easily suppress Ye Chen. His task was to eliminate Hua Yunfei. Chin raised arrogantly, he soared into the sky, wasting no words, and unleashed a devastating punch. The killing force was immense, churning the surrounding spiritual energy, stirring massive waves across the still Endless Sea.

Spectators retreated swiftly, fearing the fallout, their eyes filled with awe.

Hua Yunfei raised an eyebrow. ”Brother Ying’s been hiding quite a bit…” He lightly pointed a finger. Purple qi surged for three thousand miles, enveloping him like a living saint. Even the black Endless Sea shimmered with purple. Ying Tiansheng’s terrifying punch was effortlessly blocked.

Hua Yunfei floated upward. One was fierce and domineering, the other gentle and imbued with natural charm. Their battle dimmed the heavens, blasting a hole through the thick black clouds over the Endless Sea. Spectators were speechless. Was this the power of top prodigies? Still in the Unity realm, yet fighting like descended immortals—terrifying.

Soon, keen observers noticed something off. The battle wasn’t just between Hua Yunfei and Ying Tiansheng, or Ye Chen and Yi Qingwu. In the deeper void, terrifying combat fluctuations rippled, with figures occasionally appearing, their techniques shaking the heavens. It was impossible to tell how many were fighting. Clearly, the elders of both Holy Lands were clashing.

This unprecedented scene plunged the area into eerie silence. Tang Valley’s seal hadn’t even opened, yet the two Holy Lands seemed unconcerned, diving straight into a life-and-death struggle. The Endless Sea was descending into chaos. It was almost absurd.

At that moment, almost no one paid attention to Yi Qingwu’s domain. It was invisible, and its intensity paled compared to the Holy Sons’ or elders’ battles. But if anyone could see inside the Broad Cold Divine Realm, their shock would surpass anything seen outside.
