Chapter 401 - 34: Taiqing Divine Light
In the Quiet Chamber of Yongchang Hall, Fang Cheng sat cross-legged on a Jade Couch, his head lowered in meditation.
His Qi Sea was like a vast, boundless Purgatory. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into it, only to be refined into a magma-like Magical Power, vast as an ocean, surging and undulating.
A majestic and ferocious Dark Gold Demon Dragon coiled around a hazy ball of Demonic Light, resting quietly in the center of the Qi Sea. Not far away was a bead shimmering with Demonic Light.
Within that hazy Demonic Light was a figure that bore a slight resemblance to Fang Cheng—his Life Soul!
At this moment, streams of pure Spiritual Power periodically surged out from the Resentment Demon Bead. The Dark Gold Demon Dragon devoured and refined it all, constantly strengthening its body. In turn, Fang Cheng’s Qi Sea and Magical Power also gradually expanded.
On the Jade Couch, Fang Cheng’s body was like a towering mountain—heavy, solid, and brimming with a sinister demonic aura, sharing many similarities with a Celestial Demon.
This was the first time he had properly entered secluded cultivation to consolidate his Cultivation Realm since breaking through to the Mid-Life Soul Stage.
「Several months passed in the blink of an eye.」
During this time, the Abyssal Marsh was calm and peaceful, and no one from the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect appeared again.
On this day, a nimble and pleasant Daoist sound suddenly echoed across the Primordial Qi Celestial Island as a pillar of white divine light shot into the sky, where it lingered for a long time.
Fang Cheng was also startled by the phenomenon. He rose calmly, walked out of Yongchang Hall, and looked into the distance.
The divine light was coming from the most beautiful and serene spot on the Primordial Qi Celestial Island. There, a few splendid palaces and Jade Towers formed a courtyard where flowering trees were interspersed in an elegant arrangement.
It was Ye Yan’s residence.
’So, Yan’Er has broken through.’
With a flicker of his body, Fang Cheng arrived in Ye Yan’s courtyard.
Entering the chamber where Ye Yan cultivated, he saw his beautiful wife clad in a magnificent, wide-sleeved dress, sitting cross-legged in the void. A clear light swirled around her, suffusing her with an immortal aura.
She cultivated the Supreme Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Evil-Slaying Secret Scroll. After comprehending the Profound Lady Dharma Body, her skin had become as flawless as ice and her bones as pure as jade, and her temperament had grown transcendent and otherworldly.
The white Profound Light surrounding her was another top-tier Divine Technique called the Taiqing Divine Light. Even with his level of Cultivation, Fang Cheng was quite surprised by its power when he sensed it.
Without him realizing it, Ye Yan had also broken through to the Late-Life Talisman Stage.
In the Abyssal Marsh, this was already the level of a leader of one of the four great families!
"Husband."
Ye Yan opened her beautiful eyes. They shone with a brilliant light, full of an indescribable vitality.
In the entire Fang Family, Fang Cheng was the only one who could enter her cultivation chamber without a sound.
She withdrew her Profound Skill and floated gracefully to the ground, a dignified yet slightly mischievous smile on her face. "So, what do you think? My cultivation speed is decent, isn’t it?"
Fang Cheng stepped forward and wrapped his arm around his wife’s slender, supple waist, carefully studying her exquisite face. Time seemed to have left no trace on her; the only change was the mature, elegant temperament she had gained with age.
"It’s truly not easy for you to manage all the family’s affairs while also cultivating," Fang Cheng said with a chuckle.
Ye Yan said, "Over the years, we sisters have been studying the secret scroll’s Profound Skill. Sister Lu and Sister Mu managed to restore its Pill Formulas and refine a batch of Taiqing Spirit Pills. As expected, they’re a great help for cultivating this Profound Skill."
The Supreme Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Evil-Slaying Secret Scroll was a complete legacy. It contained not only Heart Methods, Profound Skills, and Divine Techniques, but also encompassed the Daos of Artifact Refining, Talismans, Arrays, and Alchemy, all of which were interconnected and mutually beneficial.
In other words, this was a legacy that could be used to establish a sect all on its own!
Currently, on the Primordial Qi Celestial Island, all of Fang Cheng’s other cultivation partners and his daughters were cultivating this technique, with the exception of the master and disciple from the Profound Jade Sect and Wen Qianqian.
Mu Xuanyu, Ye Yan, and Wen Qianqian now all had Late-stage Life Talisman Cultivation. Feng Ling and Lu Wei were still hovering in the mid-stage, while Dong Qing and Bai Su Yi were in the early stage.
Back then, the best batch of Celestial Dew had been consumed by Fang Cheng, Wen Qianqian, Ye Yan, and Feng Ling. The effects were now clearly evident.
Having come out of seclusion, Fang Cheng was in no hurry to return to his cultivation. Instead, he spent half a day being affectionate with Ye Yan. He then had a maid prepare a sumptuous spread of Spiritual Cuisine, and they made idle conversation over fine wine.
The two had come a long way together and shared a very deep bond. Although Fang Cheng had many women by his side now, in the depths of his heart, Ye Yan remained one of a kind.
Therefore, he usually spent more of his time at Ye Yan’s residence—about half in total. The remaining half he would spend cultivating in the bedchambers of his other partners.
Sometimes, he would also call several of his partners together to liven things up.
As the couple was talking and laughing, the maid, Die’Er, approached them. She reported that the Yinluo Villa in the Wilderness Domain had forwarded an invitation specifically for Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng took the invitation and opened it, a little surprised by what he saw.
The invitation was from none other than the master of the Celestial Traveling Immortal Pavilion in the Wilderness Domain. It stated that a grand auction would be held at the Celestial Traveling Immortal Pavilion in one month, and he was specially invited to attend the grand occasion.
The eleven great sects of the Eastern Wilderness were all on the invitation list.
Fang Cheng put away the invitation and said to Ye Yan, "As it happens, I have some Magical Artifacts I no longer need to get rid of. I might as well make the trip. Would you like to go with me?"
Ye Yan smiled. "Mother is refining a Magical Artifact lately and needs my help on Cangwu Mountain, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to get away... Hmm, why don’t you take Jingyuan and Jingxuan with you? It’ll be a good chance for the two of them to broaden their horizons. Those two boys have been clamoring to go out and see the world for a while now."
Fang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh. "Alright," he said. "As their father, I haven’t really spent any proper time alone with them. By the way, after I leave, you should bring Mother over to the Celestial Island. She can do her Artifact Refining here!"
