Immortality Starts With Investment

The Chaos Azure Lotus was within expectations. With this treasure, Senior An would soar straight into the sky. She would possess the Seven Extremes Immortal Body.

This immortal physique was definitely extraordinary. After all, if the remnant soul had not been exaggerating, the Seven Extremes Heavenly Maiden had once been an Immortal King-level existence.

How could the immortal physique she possessed be something ordinary immortal physiques could compare to? Its multiplier would surely be impressive.

Besides that, there was the supreme spiritual root. Its effects were simply shocking. Consuming one fruit could elevate a mortal body to an immortal physique. It could also advance a spiritual root to the sacred level.

This was practically defying common sense—one could even call it ascending to the heavens in a single step. After all, if a cultivator could possess both an immortal physique and a sacred spiritual root, it meant they had hopes of reaching the Immortal King realm.

Even if it was only a hope, it remained an unattainable dream for countless cultivators. This alone showed how precious the Saintly Immortal Pear was. Even though it took a hundred thousand years to produce a single fruit and could only enhance one aspect at a time, it was still outrageous.

Ye Chen had no use for it himself. But he could give it to the female cultivators around him to make up for their shortcomings.

As for the hundred-thousand-year wait being too long?

His inner world was no ordinary place. For other cultivators, accelerating time flow in their inner worlds had no effect on treasures like immortal roots. But his inner world was the Ancestral Realm. There would be absolutely no problem.

Given enough time, all the female cultivators around him would eventually obtain both immortal physiques and sacred spiritual roots. Their futures looked extremely promising.

Ye Chen vaguely noticed something. Unlike the immortal roots of the cultivation world, the supreme immortal roots of the immortal realm seemed to focus on enhancing the cultivator themselves.

For example, the previous Heavenly Will Immortal Tree increased comprehension, strengthened the inner world, and its fruits could even boost one’s luck.

What about the other supreme immortal roots? Did they also enhance the cultivator directly?

Ye Chen did not know. But he was particularly interested in this.

Right now, however, Ye Chen felt the area around the Star Pool was getting a bit crowded.

After a quick inner inspection, he had a thought. The Fusang Divine Tree immediately rose from the ground and was relocated to a nearby floating peak. No other reason—he simply found the Fusang Divine Tree too hot.

Bathing in the pool with it around felt like soaking in a hot spring. It should have been moved long ago. In the future, when his female cultivators practiced sun-related techniques, they could simply go to the adjacent floating peak.

After moving the Fusang Divine Tree, Ye Chen also relocated the Enlightenment Tea Tree to another floating peak. With the Heavenly Will Immortal Tree, he no longer needed the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Its leaves were everywhere and looked cluttered.

Once he had cleared enough space, Ye Chen planted the newly obtained Saintly Immortal Pear. Instantly, a mysterious and profound aura surged through his inner world.

Luo Bingling and Lu Jing merely caught a whiff of the scent emanating from the Saintly Immortal Pear tree and felt their bodies grow lighter, their blood boil with energy, and their spiritual roots become active…

It was as if they had taken some miraculous drug—their cultivation speed increased noticeably. On the tree itself hung only a single pear. Yet the pear was crystal clear, radiating brilliant light like a peerless immortal treasure that made one’s mouth water.

The two women had already grown used to such sights, so they showed little reaction to the sudden appearance of another immortal-root-like spiritual plant.

Soon after, however, a green lotus emerged. It stood in the middle of the Star Pool, emitting strands of chaotic qi right beside the Seven-Colored Nirvana Jade…

Luo Bingling and Lu Jing’s expressions turned slightly complicated. But they quickly regained their calm.

Inside the Seven-Colored Nirvana Jade, the Holy Spirit shook her stone body with delight. Surrounded by immortal roots, she felt she was benefiting immensely. It was truly wonderful. Ever since she had opened up completely and engaged in soul communication with Ye Chen, the Holy Spirit Colored Jade had fully treated this place as her home.

She felt at ease and no longer harbored any anxiety. If possible, she hoped she would never have to leave this world and could remain here nurturing herself for the rest of her life…

…

After settling the newly acquired immortal roots, Ye Chen felt greatly pleased. At this moment, he only wanted to return to the holy land and help Senior An advance. He also planned to give the Saintly Immortal Pear to Senior An as well.

Since the Saintly Immortal Pear could not trigger critical hits, he could first raise Senior An’s multiplier. Then he would send her the spiritual liquid from the twelve immortal roots and see if anything interesting would come from the feedback.

”We have now arrived at the Heavenly Desire Sect. Fellow Daoist Ye, why not come with Elder Shangguan and allow me to express my sincerity!”

The loli Ancestor was still earnestly inviting him.

However, Ye Chen only wanted to go back now. As for the Heavenly Desire Sect, he would naturally visit once he reached the peak of the quasi-immortal realm.

So Ye Chen gently raised his hand, and the loli Ancestor involuntarily stepped off the immortal boat. Only after the boat had departed could she move again. Her pupils were filled with shock.

Although she had always known Ye Chen was terrifying, they were both quasi-immortals. With just a casual lift of his hand, she had lost all ability to move. Was the gap between them really this vast?

At this moment, in the loli Ancestor’s eyes, Ye Chen already seemed like an immortal being. With such strength, there was no way he would fail to become an immortal in this lifetime.

Yet as the protector, he had passed right by the sect’s gate without even entering to see their divine maiden or satisfy his desires for her body. This only made her worry even more. She had to properly instruct their current divine maiden and teach her how to firmly tie down the Heavenly Emperor’s heir.

Once the immortal boat had disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye, the loli Ancestor flew down immediately. Standing outside the Heavenly Desire Sect’s mountain gate, she released her quasi-immortal aura. The entire Heavenly Desire Sect stirred at once. Four graceful figures shot out explosively, all radiating Great Saint auras.

Seeing this, the loli Ancestor’s small mouth opened as wide as it could, yet even at its widest, it was only half the size of an ordinary female cultivator’s.

When had their Heavenly Desire Sect ever been this prosperous? Four Great Saints? Even at its peak, it had probably never been this strong.

The loli Ancestor swept her gaze across them. Her eyes immediately lit up when she spotted her own female… disciple…

Her disciple had not died and had even become a Great Saint. Further back was her grand-disciple…

Beyond that, she no longer recognized the others. But the neat row of Great Saint cultivations left her full of confusion.

Fan Qinghe and the other three had originally been startled, thinking they faced a powerful enemy. Yet they did not panic. With the quasi-immortal formation protecting them and the ability to send for reinforcements, they feared no one—even if the opponent was a quasi-immortal.

This was the confidence their protector had given them. But when they clearly saw the petite figure, they were all stunned. Then they cried out in surprise.

”Master!”

”Ancestor…”

Fan Qinghe wore a look of astonishment.

Soon, the group figured out what had happened.

Everyone was delighted that the loli Ancestor had been saved by Ye Chen. After all, the Heavenly Desire Sect was truly living good days now. It was time for the older generation to enjoy their blessings.

The loli Ancestor then voiced her confusion. ”Qinghe’s good fortune and having the Heavenly Emperor’s heir as her protector—I can understand how she reached this step… But what about the rest of you? How did all of you become Great Saints? And it looks like you broke through not long ago? Does that mean all your protectors are as powerful as the Heavenly Emperor’s heir?”

Upon hearing this, the four women exchanged glances. Then one of the ancestors lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. ”The three of us currently have no protectors! The reason we were able to undergo perfect transformation is that we all borrowed Qinghe’s protector…”

Hearing this completely unexpected answer, the loli Ancestor was truly shocked this time.

A protector could be shared? Weren’t they afraid of sucking him dry?
