Breakthrough to Godhood
Leng Youmeng's tone was natural. A maid was merely a commodity in her eyes, so how could there be any talk of jealousy?
"Disciple wishes for Revered Master to grant Liu Meier the status of an Inner Sect Disciple."
Chen Yuan stated the purpose of his visit.
Leng Youmeng's expression paused. Before she could speak, Chen Yuan added, "Liu Meier has already advanced to Heaven-Grade Aptitude, which is more than enough to become an Inner Sect Disciple."
After speaking, Chen Yuan's movements intensified, making Leng Youmeng's face even redder.
"Granted," Leng Youmeng said, feigning composure. "I will transmit a message to Elder Wang of the Inner Sect, asking him to revoke Liu Meier's Utility Disciple status and make her an Inner Sect Disciple."
"Thank you, Revered Master." Chen Yuan then directly pushed Leng Youmeng down.
Leng Youmeng's eyelashes trembled slightly. She lowered her guard, allowing Chen Yuan to do as he pleased.
Two hours later.
Leng Youmeng suddenly twisted Chen Yuan's ear.
"Revered Master, it hurts, it hurts, what are you doing?" Chen Yuan was bewildered. Didn't she just say 'comfortable, comfortable'? How did her face suddenly change?
"You little rascal, I gave you a maid to relieve your boredom, but you went and made me sisters with her!" Leng Youmeng was actually unhappy from the start. If she hadn't been so aroused by Chen Yuan, she would have gotten angry long ago.
"Oh! Revered Master, don't you understand me? I value feelings the most. Since Liu Meier followed me, I naturally won't treat her unfairly. If I let her grow old, pass away, or abandon her once her looks fade, what would that make me but a scumbag?"
"What does 'scumbag' mean?" Leng Youmeng released her hand and asked curiously.
"It refers to a man who flirts everywhere and is irresponsible," Chen Yuan explained.
"Scumbag!" Leng Youmeng said without hesitation, glaring at him.
"You've wronged me! I am a responsible man."
In the latter half of the night, Chen Yuan walked out of his Revered Master's sleeping quarters and returned to his own residence.
Not long after Chen Yuan left, two figures emerged from the shadows: First Senior Sister Qin Shuhan and Second Senior Sister Shen Nianchu.
"Senior Sister, this isn't fair. Revered Master always gives Junior Martial Brother special tutoring, cultivating until late at night. No wonder his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds."
Shen Nianchu's small face was puffed up with anger, and her small fists were clenched. She felt that Revered Master was extremely biased!
However, Qin Shuhan didn't think so. She had clearly seen Chen Yuan leaning on the wall as he walked out, and coupled with Chen Yuan's previous confession of affection for Revered Master, a bold idea surfaced in her mind.
As the thought emerged, her face immediately flushed red.
"Nianchu, you shouldn't guess randomly."
"Oh!" Shen Nianchu pouted. "Hmph, I must go to Revered Master and get to the bottom of this."
With that, she walked straight towards Revered Master's sleeping quarters.
Since Leng Youmeng had given Liu Meier to Chen Yuan, there were no new maids to serve her for the time being. So, the two walked directly through the main hall and arrived outside Leng Youmeng's sleeping quarters.
Shen Nianchu knocked on the door and said with a smile, "Revered Master, Nianchu has come to see you!"
Inside the sleeping quarters, Leng Youmeng was currently unclothed, and the lingering scent of Chen Yuan in the air made a rare expression of panic appear on her face.
She quickly put on her clothes, then tore through space to appear behind the two women.
It wasn't that she didn't want the two women to enter her sleeping quarters; it was mainly that she didn't want Chen Yuan's scent to disappear, as it would make it difficult for her to sleep when Immortals entered her dreams.
On the other side,
Chen Yuan returned to his residence, supporting his aching back. He was still too weak; he shouldn't have boasted and told Revered Master to go all out.
Revered Master was an Integration Supreme, and his own strength was at most Half-Step True Monarch. He was almost tormented to death.
"I still need to improve my strength!" Chen Yuan sighed, then took out several spirit transformation pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
Three days later, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his Aura having clearly reached the Perfected Nascent Soul Stage.
It was time to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.
Chen Yuan took out the eighth-grade Medicinal Pill rewarded by the System, the Heaven's Mandate Primordial Spirit Pill. The pill's surface shimmered with flowing light, imbued with natural Daorhyme, emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.
Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Medicinal Pill.
The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, a pure medicinal power spread out, instantly surging into Chen Yuan's Dantian.
The spiritual light originally swirling around the miniature Nascent Soul, which resembled Chen Yuan, suddenly became intensely bright, completely enveloped by a rich golden glow.
The medicinal power frantically poured into the Nascent Soul, refining and sublimating it.
Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators would need hundreds, or even thousands, of years to slowly nurture their Nascent Soul with their own spiritual energy and insights, gradually transforming it to condense theprototype of a Primordial Spirit and step into the threshold of Soul Transformation.
The difficulty of this process had stumped countless Prodigies.
However, Chen Yuan's situation at this moment was completely different!
Under the Heaven-Defying medicinal power of the Heaven's Mandate Primordial Spirit Pill, the transformation speed of his Nascent Soul was astonishingly fast.
Just one day later, it was clearly visible that a pale golden light mass began to condense above the head of the miniature Nascent Soul, emitting a profound and mysterious Aura.
That was theprototype of the Primordial Spirit!
Three days passed in a flash.
When the golden light mass above the head of the miniature Nascent Soul in his Dantian completely solidified.
Chen Yuan's Aura suddenly soared.
At this very moment, the clear and boundless sky above Ziqing Peak suddenly changed dramatically!
Heavy dark clouds gathered from who knew where, tumbling and lowering, covering the entire sky. The light instantly dimmed, as if night had fallen.
Within the dark clouds, dazzling silver electric snakes wildly writhed, emitting dull and terrifying thunderous roars. A destructive Aura pressed down overwhelmingly, enveloping the entire Ziqing Peak!
This sudden celestial phenomenon instantly alarmed Qin Shuhan and the others.
Leng Youmeng reacted the fastest, shielding the Lightning Tribulation phenomenon with a wave of her hand, confining it to Xuanqing Peak.
"Such terrifying pressure! It's a Lightning Tribulation!"
Shen Nianchu and Qin Shuhan landed on a tree not far from Chen Yuan's residence.
Seeing this scene, Shen Nianchu's astonishment was evident. "Junior Martial Brother Chen Yuan is about to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation?"
Junior Martial Brother Chen Yuan was only at Foundation Establishment when he first joined! How long has it been? Less than half a year, and he's at Soul Transformation???
Inside the residence, Ye Baixi, Shen Ling, and Liu Meier rushed out of their rooms. Feeling the suffocating might of heaven and earth, all three women's faces were filled with worry.
"Brother..." Ye Baixi tightly clasped her hands, her beautiful eyes fixed on the figure sitting cross-legged in the Void Realm in the center of the courtyard.
Shen Ling and Liu Meier also felt their hearts leap. The Soul Transformation Lightning Tribulation was no small matter; countless Prodigies had been stopped here, perishing along with their Dao.
Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils blazing with a sharp glint, as if substantial.
"Come on!"
"Boom—!"
The first silver tribulation lightning, as thick as a water bucket, tore through the dark clouds and struck down with a destructive Aura!
The dazzling lightning instantly engulfed Chen Yuan's figure.
However, as the lightning dissipated, Chen Yuan still stood proudly, his clothes fluttering around him. Aside from his slightly windswept hair, he was completely unharmed!
He forcibly absorbed the violent lightning power into his body by circulating his Cultivation Technique, using it to temper his newly condensed Primordial Spirit and Physical Body!
The subsequent second, third... tribulation lightning bolts grew fiercer with each strike, their color gradually shifting from silver to pale gold, and their power increasing exponentially.
