Immortality Starts With Investment

The crowd listened to the tale of Ye Chen’s deeds while staring at the terrifying heavenly pit that had once been the Land of Fallen Immortals.

Their expressions were those of people doubting their own existence. They felt that the Heavenly Emperor’s heir had already reached the absolute peak below True Immortal, unrivaled beneath the immortal realm. He might even remain undefeated against a True Immortal.

This was simply too shocking.

As for the Eight-Crowned King, everyone now felt that if he continued to wait, he would no longer even be qualified to be the Heavenly Emperor’s heir’s opponent.

Previously, they had believed the Eight-Crowned King’s steady stay in the Ninth Stage without trying to kill Ye Chen was a sign of supreme confidence and the invincible belief cultivated over a million years of dominance. But now, they felt the Eight-Crowned King was being somewhat arrogant and out of touch.

”What is the Heavenly Emperor’s heir doing?”

Someone asked curiously, looking toward the grand formation. This time, no one spoke. Anyone who could reach the quasi-immortal realm was no fool. Praising the Heavenly Emperor’s heir was fine. But discussing exactly what he was doing inside the formation was not appropriate. Moreover, Ye Chen was their savior.

…

Seven full days later.

Inside the grand formation, a flawless white-jade Heavenly Human Clan body floated in mid-air. Endless laws of heaven and earth formed spirals that poured into the body, causing its aura to grow increasingly terrifying.

Su Yuxuan stole a few glances during a break and asked in shock, ”Will Master directly become an immortal?”

Ye Chen immediately shook his head.

Becoming an immortal was not that easy. In theory, there should have been immortal qi within the immortal corpse. But these corpses had fallen too long ago. The immortal qi inside them had long since dissipated. At most, she would become a quasi-immortal. Still, for Manjusaka, this was already a heaven-defying leap.

Seeing that Manjusaka’s side was nearing completion, the two of them also sped up a little.

A long time later, Ye Chen carried Su Yuxuan over to Manjusaka.

At this moment, Su Yuxuan’s face was flushed, her eyes misty and half-closed. She looked pure yet enchantingly beautiful, extremely alluring.

Ye Chen smiled as he gently tidied the damp strands of hair on her forehead, then looked toward Manjusaka.

At the same time, Manjusaka also opened her eyes. A beam of golden light and a beam of blood light shot skyward.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Manjusaka’s eyes were actually different colors.

One was golden, holy and pure, as if connected to the immortal domain. The other was blood-red, with nine nether qi flowing through it, as if linked to the netherworld. This added a unique charm to her already exotic face.

At this moment, Manjusaka slowly stood up. The ground shook for a moment as her body was fully revealed.

Feeling the sensation of once again possessing a physical body, Manjusaka trembled all over. She was excited beyond measure. After trembling for a long time, she finally noticed Ye Chen and Su Yuxuan in front of her. She immediately wrapped her three white and three red wings forward to block their view. Only after a divine light transformed into an immortal robe did she spread her wings again and retract them behind her.

Even so, Manjusaka was still extremely happy. Especially after sensing her own cultivation—Peak quasi-immortal.

Although her soul strength had not kept up yet and there were still many other deficiencies, as long as those were filled, everything would be fine. In other words, not only had she completely resurrected this time, but she had also reached a realm she had never achieved before.

As for her appearance, bloodline, or even race having changed, Manjusaka did not care in the slightest. Strength was the foundation.

However, when she looked down at herself, she felt slightly puzzled. When she had seen the immortal corpse before, she did not remember it having this kind of scale.

Manjusaka secretly glanced at Ye Chen, suspecting this was his handiwork. After all, he had been the one guiding the process of reshaping her body. But this was a minor matter. For a quasi-immortal, it was not a burden at all!

After her excitement subsided, she looked at the two people before her. Toward Su Yuxuan, she felt both affection and deep gratitude. The road to reshaping a physical body had been very difficult. Collecting secret techniques and searching for all kinds of treasures—since she had no physical body, it had all been done by her disciple Su Yuxuan.

She had actually been worried that once Su Yuxuan soared, she would no longer care about her. In the end, she had worried too much. Although Su Yuxuan’s style of doing things was even more demonic than her own, she was truly someone who knew how to repay kindness.

As for Ye Chen…

Looking at him, Manjusaka’s pretty face flushed red. She remembered what she had promised earlier. Not to mention that Ye Chen had specially modified her body, clearly looking forward to her repayment.

Regarding this, Manjusaka had no intention of going back on her word. However, even though she had lived two lifetimes, Manjusaka had never experienced anything like this. For a moment, she felt too embarrassed to speak.

Ye Chen had plenty of experience. She would wait for Ye Chen to speak, then obediently follow along! In this manner, Manjusaka waited while inspecting her new body. She liked this new body very much.

…

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow as he looked at Manjusaka, a trace of surprise flickering in his pupils.

”Detected that the recipient’s multiplier has changed…”

”Manjusaka: Twelve thousand times!”

Ye Chen could not help but raise his eyebrow again.

Was the talent of a six-winged Heavenly Human Clan this high? It had directly broken through twelve thousand? Even fiercer than the chaotic body!

But he quickly realized the reason. First, Manjusaka already had the Nine Nether Blood Soul, which came with a three-thousand-times multiplier by itself. Then there was the physical body.

It was not just the body of a six-winged Heavenly Human Clan member, but also the modifications and enhancements made when the immortal remnant thought had taken over. This could be seen from the wings that were half red and half white, as well as the differently colored eyes.

Manjusaka was not a pure Heavenly Human Clan member. Moreover, her appearance and figure had likely contributed a significant portion of the multiplier. Under these circumstances, reaching twelve thousand times was actually not that surprising.

Ye Chen’s expression was simply a little complicated. He had truly not expected that Manjusaka would leap straight to becoming the female cultivator with the highest multiplier around him. It was simply outrageous.

Manjusaka sensed Ye Chen’s complicated look and guessed that he might be feeling embarrassed. She bit her teeth lightly and took the initiative to disperse the divine light immortal robe while spreading her wings.

At this moment, Manjusaka looked like an angel in front of Ye Chen. However, the excessive scale removed any sense of holiness.

But this was exactly what Ye Chen preferred.

Manjusaka was being so proactive not only to repay the favor. The main reason was to secure a spot to enter the immortal realm. There were only eight quotas. It was truly too few. But she was now only one step away from becoming an immortal.

As for her disciple, in terms of charm, she honestly found it difficult to compete with people like Yan Ruyu anymore. She could only rely on Ye Chen’s old feelings. But who knew how long those old feelings could last?

In this situation, she naturally had to find another way. Her current charm was no weaker than anyone else’s. Her disciple had helped her restore her physical body.

So of course she would also bring her disciple into the immortal realm. The two of them working together would definitely win Ye Chen’s heart even more.

Therefore, Manjusaka was exceptionally resolute. One could even say that when she had earlier offered to dedicate herself, she had already been thinking along these lines!
