Receive rewards

The banquet dispersed, and the clamor gradually subsided.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles burned brightly, illuminating the room with warmth.

Xiao Yi Xian had changed out of her elaborate wedding dress, now wearing a soft red nightgown. She sat on the edge of the bed, nervously tugging at the corner of her clothes.

She had already paid her respects to the legal wife, Cao Ying, as per custom. Although Cao Ying's expression was indifferent, she did not make things difficult, only giving a few instructions.

Footsteps approached, and Shen Wen's figure enveloped her.

Feeling the warm aura emanating from him, Xiao Yi Xian's heart pounded like a drum. She instinctively recoiled, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "I... my body... carries poison..."

Her words were cut short by a low chuckle.

Shen Wen leaned down, one hand propped on the bed beside her.

His other hand gently caressed her warm cheek. The touch of his fingertips was delicate and smooth, with no abnormalities.

He leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing her sensitive earlobe, "The amount of poison you have now can't do anything to me."

Her little scheme directly exposed, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, as if stained with the most vibrant rouge.

She had indeed intended to use her Calamity Poison Body as an excuse to delay for a while.

But Shen Wen was not only unafraid but also saw through her immediately. He had announced their marriage to the entire city, giving her immense respect and dignity.

Now... since he was fearless, her continued shyness would only seem pretentious.

She took a deep breath, as if having made a certain decision, and her previously downcast eyelashes slowly lifted.

Her clear eyes met Shen Wen's smiling gaze, shimmering with shyness and a hint of desperate courage.

She said no more, merely straightened her back slightly, closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, tacitly allowing his approach.

The red candles crackled softly, their flames flickering.

Shen Wen lowered his head, and his kiss fell.

In a daze of passion, Xiao Yi Xian felt only a slight pain before soaring to the clouds... When everything returned to calm, Xiao Yi Xian curled up tiredly in Shen Wen's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

On the bedsheets, a small crimson stain quietly bloomed, like a red plum blossom falling on snow, signaling the end of girlhood and the beginning of a new identity.

The night was deep.

Shen Wen, however, did not rest. With his current physical strength, even if Xiao Yi Xian fainted, it wouldn't tire him out.

He glanced at Xiao Yi Xian's serene sleeping face, "The Calamity Poison Body has such a peculiarity?"

Perhaps due to the Calamity Poison Body, he hadn't expected Xiao Yi Xian to be completely hairless, not even her body hair could withstand the power of the Calamity Poison Body.

It was quite a unique experience.

He gently withdrew his arm, tucked the quilt around her, then sat up cross-legged, his mind sinking into his body.

He first touched the Kun Peng Treasure Technique, which had been waiting for a long time.

"Boom!"

As soon as his thought moved, an boundless ocean seemed to explode in his mind!

An immensely gigantic creature floated within it. Sometimes it was a fish, its back spanning unknown thousands of miles, stirring the abyss; sometimes it transformed into a bird, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky, a flap sending it soaring ninety thousand miles high!

That was the Kunpeng!

Its form was colossal, its momentum vast. Every flick of its tail, every flap of its wings, contained the Profound Truth of tearing the firmament and extreme speed.

Countless mysterious runes regarding extreme speed and power transformation surged into Shen Wen's Sea of Consciousness like a tide.

He felt his body seemed to have become much lighter, and his perception of the surrounding airflow was several times more acute.

A confidence that he could transform into a Kunpeng and flee through the Void Realm at any moment spontaneously arose.

"What a Kun Peng Treasure Technique! With this method, where in the vast world can I not go?"

With another thought, he began to receive the space ancestral talisman and the Heaven-Slaying King Disk.

A wisp of silver light was born from nothingness, silently merging into the depths of his Soul. In an instant, the surrounding space became incredibly clear and docile in his perception.

One of the Eight Great Ancestral Talismans, the space ancestral talisman!

To control it was to wield the authority over space.

Traversing the Void Realm, solidifying space, creating mazes... all these profound mysteries were at a single thought.

This was a world of difference compared to his initial grasp of space after his recent Breakthrough to Dou Zong.

Immediately after, an ancient, desolate-looking phantom of a compass floated in his Sea of Consciousness. The Heaven-Slaying King Disk!

This was one of the nine great divine artifacts created by the ancient Ancestral Symbol Master in the 'Martial Universe' world, possessing earth-shattering power.

Most importantly, its power was directly related to the number of ancestral talismans controlled.

The more ancestral talismans controlled, the more formidable its power!

Shen Wen now possessed the four great ancestral talismans: Devouring, Lightning, Flame, and Space, allowing him to initially activate a trace of the Heaven-Slaying King Disk's power.

If activated, it would be no difficult feat for Shen Wen to obliterate powerhouses below the Dou Zun Realm.

Finally, there were the rewards for taking Xiao Yi Xian as a concubine.

The Future Non-Existence Sutra and the Chrono-Extreme Bell.

The information flow of the Future Non-Existence Sutra surged in, instantly resonating with the Past Amitabha Sutra he had previously obtained.

The past is unchanging, the future is uncertain!

The most Heaven-Defying aspect of this scripture was that when Cultivated to the extreme, it could condense a 'Lord of the Future,' whose calculation and deduction abilities were unparalleled.

At Shen Wen's current Realm, he naturally couldn't create such an existence.

But even so, it caused his Soul thoughts to surge explosively, and his thought processing speed increased by more than tenfold!

Many previously obscure points regarding the Fusion of Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques could now be deduced into several possibilities in an instant.

From now on, whether it was learning, deduction, or multitasking, it would be incredibly easy.

Immediately afterward, a phantom of an ancient grand bell, seemingly condensed from countless temporal gears and glimpses of civilization, stood guard deep within his Soul.

The Chrono-Extreme Bell!

When this bell rang, it did not attack the Physical Body but directly affected the thoughts and consciousness of living beings!

It could make an opponent's thoughts momentarily stagnate, plunging them into a brief blankness of mind.

In a duel between experts, even a momentary stagnation could determine life and death.

This was undoubtedly an extremely overbearing Soul Dou Technique.

All rewards had been received.

"Hall of Souls..."

Shen Wen felt the power within him now. Below the Dou Zong Realm, he probably had no rivals. As for Dou Zun, he would have to weigh his options.

However, he had the space ancestral talisman.

Even if he hadn't fully mastered the space ancestral talisman, he should still have extremely strong resistance to a Dou Zun's spatial power.

Now, his status with the Hall of Souls had changed; the dynamic of offense and defense was different!

Shen Wen glanced at the sky. There was still some time until dawn, and his mind stirred.

He began to ponder the Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi. Two days prior, he had also passed on the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Art and the Past Amitabha Sutra to Cao Ying.

As long as she successfully Cultivated these two Cultivation Techniques, Cao Ying would face no pressure in becoming a Grade 8 Alchemist.

As for the reason.

Shen Wen had told Cao Ying that it was an ancestral rule: husband and wife are one. If he felt his partner could share life and death with him, he could pass on these Legacies to her. Cao Ying was naturally deeply moved and that very night allowed Shen Wen to indulge in paths she had previously refused.

Allowing Shen Wen to once again experience the allure of the enchantress.
