Immortality Starts With Investment

After presenting the gift, Ye Chen immediately began channeling the Lotus Emperor’s origin into the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

Caiyu felt an overwhelming fullness from Ye Chen’s gift. Her own origin surged and trembled with unprecedented ecstasy.

The origin of a holy spirit had always required slow, meticulous nurturing. This kind of fierce, torrential influx was something she had never experienced before. It felt utterly blissful.

With so much origin poured into her, her cultivation would surely soar all the way to the peak of the quasi-immortal realm. She might even emerge into the world soon.

Her gaze toward Ye Chen changed completely.

Before, she had constantly cursed and complained, but only because deep down she had been terrified, trembling with fear. She had worried that Ye Chen would move her into his inner world, harvest her as divine material, and devour her essence.

After all, holy spirit divine material was the most precious treasure in existence. This was one of the main reasons why cultivators from various races would immediately interrupt a holy spirit’s gestation the moment they discovered one.

Yet after spending so much time with him, she realized Ye Chen had only used her as a tool and showed no intention of coveting her material. Only then had she finally relaxed. As long as he did not interrupt her gestation, everything would be fine. And now, Ye Chen was even actively sending her holy spirit origin, helping her accelerate the process and emerge into the world ahead of schedule.

That vicious woman had also said it plainly. Ye Chen was after her taste. If that was truly the case… Then Ye Chen was simply… wonderful!

He only wanted to savor her flavor. At most, she would suffer a little, just like the two women outside.

Compared to achieving a perfect emergence into the world, that price was negligible. Ye Chen was willing to pay such a massive price just to taste her. He had even gone so far as to attack a perfectly gestated peak holy spirit and seize its origin. Ye Chen truly valued her so much…

Joy flooded Caiyu’s heart. She had already made up her mind: as long as Ye Chen did not covet her divine material, once she emerged, she would let him torment her however he wished.

With each strike Ye Chen delivered against the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade’s surface, strands of origin poured into her.

Caiyu’s expression had become one of pure bliss. She closed her eyes, utterly lost in pleasure. Only when Ye Chen’s momentum finally stopped and not a single drop of origin remained did she open her eyes with lingering reluctance, a trace of disappointment on her face.

Ye Chen was wonderful… but he had given her too little… On his side, after pouring out the Lotus Emperor’s vast origin, Ye Chen gazed at the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade with anticipation.

Holy spirits were supposed to be genderless; there had never been an exception throughout history. Even Ye Chen could not fully understand why Caiyu possessed a multiplier.

Still, as the only holy spirit with such a trait, his expectations remained extremely high. After all, the more varieties of female cultivators he could gift, the broader the scope of his benefits would become—truly endless rewards…

Seeing that his system had shown no reaction after a long while, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke toward the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, ”Caiyu, did the origin I gifted you this time benefit your cultivation and gestation?”

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author’s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Hearing his words, Caiyu instantly snapped out of her disappointed mood. Staring at the massively increased origin within her, she knew that once she converted it, not only would her cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, but her aptitude would also improve significantly.

What more could she possibly ask for?

Moreover, she had figured it out: since Ye Chen craved her taste, she needed to give him enough emotional feedback before emerging. Only then would he patiently wait for her to come out. Otherwise, one day he might lose patience, tear open the stone, drag her out, and begin tormenting her right away.

So Caiyu immediately replied in her crisp, doll-like voice, ”Thank you, Pa… Uncle. With this mass of origin, I will be able to emerge much sooner. I definitely won’t make Uncle wait too long…

”And there is a wondrous power within this origin. Once I convert it, my aptitude will improve as well, and my recovery ability will increase. In the future, when I face torment, I will be able to endure with even greater resilience…

”Uncle, you’re really so good to me…”

Ye Chen listened, his eyes narrowing slightly. Something about Caiyu’s words felt strangely off. What did she mean by ”won’t make Uncle wait too long”? And what was that about enduring torment with greater resilience?

The mindset of a holy spirit really was peculiar.

Still, Ye Chen did not dwell on it for long. A system notification soon rang out in his mind.

”Congratulations, Host. Gift successfully presented…”

”Gift: Holy Spirit Origin!”

”Nine thousand one hundred times feedback in progress…”

”Detected that the gift presented to the recipient…”

”Triggered maximum critical strike feedback!”

”Detected that the Host possesses the Primordial Chaos Supreme Body. Feedback converted into Primordial Chaos Supreme Body origin…”

”Feedback: two-thousandths of Primordial Chaos Supreme Body origin!”

”Host’s Primordial Chaos Supreme Body completeness increased to four-thousandths!”

Reading the feedback, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled upward, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

Last time, when he had gifted his fiancée the Exiled Immortal’s origin, he had received one-thousandth as feedback. That alone had brought him tremendous improvement. Now the reward had doubled again, reaching four-thousandths.

Feeling the surging undercurrents within his body, Ye Chen almost wanted to return to the day he fought the Celestial Prince and test whether his fist could now shatter an immortal artifact.

Unfortunately, there was only one Celestial Prince.

Ye Chen turned his head and looked at the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, his gaze filled with satisfaction. He had originally worried that a holy spirit would lack emotions, just like Supreme Eldest Senior Sister. It seemed he had worried for nothing. A holy spirit who had only just awakened could not possibly harbor any ill intentions.

”Caiyu, you’ve done well…”

Ye Chen reached out in satisfaction and gently stroked the surface of the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

Caiyu, still immersed in joy, felt the scorching heat in Ye Chen’s gaze and grew a little afraid.

That look was far too intense. Even inside the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, she felt as if she were burning. She worried that Ye Chen might reach through the cracks with both hands and forcibly pry her out.

”Uncle, you’re the one who’s truly good… When I emerge, I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

Caiyu hurriedly painted a bright future to keep Ye Chen from growing impatient.

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth lifted. Of course, he had no intention of letting Caiyu emerge prematurely. Once she achieved a perfect emergence, she would undoubtedly become an existence worth more than ten thousand times her current value. Whether he could ”use” her or not was something he dwelled on. She would absolutely be a divine tool for gifting.

Ye Chen nodded. ”Then focus on refining the origin properly from now on.”

Since sending origin could trigger such a massive critical strike, the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart surely could as well. He would give it to Caiyu next week.

On her side, Caiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Deep down, she was still thinking about the jade box in the sea of origin. The treasure inside had made her own origin surge wildly. But she did not dare ask for it. She feared that demanding too much would make Ye Chen’s affection run dry and turn into disgust. Obtaining this origin was already very good.

As for that treasure, she would wait until after she emerged and endured some hardship before mentioning it. She had seen that after Ye Chen tormented the two women, he always gave them many treasures.

The happier he was, the more he gave. Once she emerged, she would definitely work hard… Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships could one rise above others. She would surely become the strongest holy spirit in the future!

By then, she would ruthlessly suppress that vicious female cultivator in front of her.

As for Uncle?

Although he was a bit perverted—even craving a holy spirit like her—he did not seem like a bad person…Once she surpassed him, she would help him too!
