Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 562: A Promising Future for Grandma!

Ye Chenʼs final promise was utterly sincere—gifting was his forte, after all. Seeing Manjusaka accept the Three Yin True Water and thank him, his system chimed:

”Congratulations, host, gift successful…”

”Gift: Three Yin True Water!”

”500x feedback in progress.”

”Detected: Gift is critical to recipient, triggering intense…”

”Critical hit triggered!”

”Reward: Earth-Splitting Divine Stone!”

”Earth-Splitting Divine Stone: In the Unity realm, refine into your domain to greatly enhance its amplification effects. Its divine marks can unlock domain potential, generating or strengthening Domain Divine Abilities.”

Though not a max critical hit, the reward impressed Ye Chen. Perfect for his already formidable domain, it would amplify it further, crushing foesʼ hopes. As for Domain Divine Abilities, he didnʼt expect a stone to birth more—his eight were already unprecedented.

But after experiencing the might of ”Two Lives as One,” he eagerly anticipated the rest. Refining this stone to awaken the others early would massively boost his strength.

His gaze on Manjusaka grew even more satisfied. The only flaw? Her 500x multiplier was low. A higher multiplier would yield better rewards. But she was just a soul now—once her body was restored, her multiplier would soar. Truly, Grandma was young at heart with a bright future.

Especially since Su Yuxuan couldnʼt critical hit but often had special needs. If Manjusakaʼs multiplier rose as a middleman, the feedback would be phenomenal.

Ye Chen waved, smiling. ”No need for formalities, Senior. If you need anything, message Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. Iʼll rush to Central Continent to help. Crafting your body is paramount. Donʼt skimp on materials. If anythingʼs hard to find, tell me—Iʼll do everything to secure you a perfect body!”

His earnest generosity deepened Manjusakaʼs moving. Sheʼd been too narrow-minded before. Who said the cultivation world lacked good men? Here was one.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Su Yuxuan, puzzled, stared at Ye Chen. ”Senior Brother, are you… into my Master? I wouldnʼt mind getting closer to Master, but sheʼs not like that!”

She mused inwardly—her Senior Brotherʼs tastes were getting wild. Heʼd once mocked Masterʼs inability to protect, wounding her.

Now? Offering to rush to Central Continent at her call, ignoring Central Continentʼs prodigies yet jumping for her Master. Such a shift! He even eyed her soul-only Master. Would he chase weirder cultivators next? She worried deeply.

Manjusaka glared at Su Yuxuan, her soul diving into her discipleʼs sea of spirit sense.

Ye Chen, used to such misunderstandings, didnʼt bother explaining. He flew with Su Yuxuan to the sky, pointing at the two Nether God elders. ”What about them?”

Su Yuxuan eyed them, pondering. The elders, trembling, pleaded, ”I control a Nether Immortal Pool, boosting Nine Nether Scripturesʼ cultivation, ideal for Unity breakthroughs. Itʼs usable every century—perfect for the Nether Maiden! I have a Purple Crystal Nether Stone, ideal for Nether God Bodies. As a main material for a Dao Weapon, it eases the strain of maintaining their Divine Ability channel… Itʼs meant for the Fifth Nether Maiden, the only Nether God Body this generation! Please, Nether Maiden, forgive us—we were deceived by the First Nether Son…”

The two elders knew their fate hinged on Su Yuxuanʼs whim, so they acted wisely. Su Yuxuanʼs lips curved—she didnʼt care about their betrayal. With the First Nether Son dead, their support would secure her greater benefits in the Holy Land.

Smiling sweetly, she said, ”Exactly, itʼs all the First Nether Sonʼs fault! Thank you, Elders, for the opportunities.”

Relieved by her response, the elders relaxed. Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, smiling at them. ”Yuxuan is my partner, but I canʼt yet go to Central Continent due to some matters… Please take good care of her.”

The elders waved off his politeness, not daring to act superior. Theyʼd seen Ye Chenʼs strength clearly—slaying the formidable First Nether Son in one strike and treating the equally powerful Heavenly Intention Holy Son like a toy. Such a prodigy, whether he ascended or not, would inevitably dominate the immortal path. Surpassing them was just a matter of time. They knew their place. Hearing Ye Chen confirm Su Yuxuan as his woman erased any thoughts of reneging.

From chatting with Heavenly Evolutionʼs elders, they learned how fiercely protective Ye Chen was of his women. Touching or even looking at them was forbidden. The Heavenly Intention Holy Sonʼs gruesome end—sparked by his brother glancing at Ye Chenʼs master—proved it. A trivial matter led to such a prodigyʼs downfall. Ye Chenʼs women were untouchable.

…

From the sky, Ye Chen watched Su Yuxuan and the elders leave, sighing. Who knew when theyʼd meet again? Not too long, likely, with the immortal path opening soon—he wouldnʼt miss it.

At that moment, a light boat sailed from the Endless Seaʼs depths. A refined, transcendent young man in white, bathed in soft holy light, stood aboard. He scanned the crowd, nodding politely to each, his demeanor gentle and elegant. Finally, his gaze settled on Ye Chen, offering a warm smile.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, sensing the manʼs strength. His temperament resembled Senior Brotherʼs—not sharp like most prodigies, but exceptionally gentle. Which Central Continent prodigy was this?
