436: Chapter 436 Forging a Mystic Immortal and Participating in the Auction!

The outside world was buzzing with discussions, speculating whether the Qingyun Dao Sect was brewing some earth-shattering conspiracy.

In reality, within the most secretive Forbidden Ground in the back mountains of the Qingyun Dao Sect, an unprecedented and harrowing "God-making Movement" was in full swing under Lu Yuan's personal supervision.

Lu Yuan held nothing back; he opened his treasury and poured out everything like worthless trash—spoils of war seized from conquering various hostile forces over the past decade, the shocking wealth scavenged from the storage ring of the notorious Golden Immortal-level assassin Ji Wanli, and the massive quantities of immortal materials and divine medicine purchased at top auctions for exorbitant prices.

For a moment, immortal light soared into the sky within the back mountain Forbidden Ground, and a wondrous fragrance filled the air.

Million-year-old Nine-Aperture Soul-Returning Grass, Divine Dragon Marrow containing True Dragon Essence Blood, Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit that could directly enhance one's comprehension of Immortal Dao Laws... these peerless treasures, any of which would cause a bloodbath if they appeared in the outside world, were piled up here like small mountains shimmering with a captivating luster.

Under Lu Yuan's personal protection, preparation of medicinal liquids, and guidance—even at the cost of his own immortal power to clear their Meridians—the core female members of the Qingyun Dao Sect ushered in a golden period of explosive growth in their strength.

Gu Qingxue, gentle as water yet firm within; Ji Yaoguang, the noble and cold empress; Su Yueli, the enchanting and seductive Shadow Queen; Fairy Lengyue, as ethereal as a Fairy from the Moon Palace; Yaochi Holy Mother, motherly, dignified, and holy; Luo Lianyi, spirited and otherworldly; and Lu Yuan's quirky and exceptionally talented disciple, Lu Xueyao.

These seven magnificent women—beauties and a beloved disciple whose cultivations had already firmly stepped into the True Immortal Realm—saw their cultivation barriers easily shattered like paper under the relentless piling and forced infusion of top-tier resources. Their Realms soared in a straight line, as if riding the most violent spiritual power rocket.

But Lu Yuan's ambition did not stop there; merely raising their cultivation Realms was still insufficient in this cruel Immortal Realm.

More importantly, and most crucially, Lu Yuan made a bold decision.

He unreservedly taught the ladies his supreme physical Body Refining technique, the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength," which he relied on to sweep through all enemies, after his own exquisite deduction and modification.

Although limited by the feminine nature of their Innate Physiques and lacking the Heaven-Defying cheat of the System's direct empowerment, they could not be as monstrous as Lu Yuan and directly open "Yuanxiang Particles" capable of suppressing myriad worlds. However, with the irrigation of an appalling amount of dragon marrow and phoenix blood and the forced guidance of Lu Yuan's Golden Immortal-level power, each of them—after undergoing a painful transformation unimaginable to ordinary people—successfully opened and condensed a full 800 million ordinary "dragon-elephant particles" within their delicate bodies!

A full 800 million dragon-elephant particles!

Although "Dragon Elephant Realm" is fundamentally worlds apart from "Primal Elephant," when the quantity reaches the magnitude of 800 million, the quantitative change had long since triggered a qualitative one.

Rumble! When they circulated their Cultivation Techniques, it was as if 800 million Primeval Golden Dragons and Ancient Divine Elephants were lurking within their bodies, the sounds of dragon roars and elephant trumpets echoing incessantly.

The power of 800 million Dragon Elephant Realms was bestowed upon their seemingly frail bodies!

This violent, pure physical power caused their physical strength, defensive capabilities, and close-quarters combat skills to instantly leap across countless levels, soaring to a monstrous degree that would make ordinary Body Cultivators feel despair and outrage!

Three months' time is but a mere flick of a finger in the life of a cultivator.

On the day they emerged from seclusion, as the stone gates of the back mountain Forbidden Ground crashed open, seven terrifying auras—as deep as an abyss and as heavy as a prison, yet fluttering with Immortal Qi—soared into the clouds, even directly shattering the vast tribulation clouds above the Qingyun Dao Sect.

The seven women walked out together, their beauty even greater than before and their temperaments increasingly ethereal.

The fluctuations of magical power emanating from them had actually all reached the awe-inspiring Profound Immortal Realm without exception!

Among them, Gu Qingxue, with the highest talent and deepest foundation, and the experienced Yaochi Holy Mother, who once governed a Holy Land, showed the results of their long accumulation. Their cultivations crossed the threshold of the Early Stage in one fell swoop, directly reaching the Peak of the Mid-stage Profound Immortal Realm. They were only a thin membrane away from the Late-stage Mysterious Immortal Realm that many cannot reach in a lifetime, liable to break through at any moment!

"Husband."

Gu Qingxue, in a white dress as pure as snow, walked up to Lu Yuan.

She slightly raised her slender hand, which was like mutton-fat jade, and gently clenched her fist.

An overwhelmed sonic boom immediately rang out in the air, and a visible ripple of space rippled out from her fist.

Feeling the surging Dragon Elephant Realm power within her body—as if she could easily shatter a desolate star with a single punch—and the Profound Immortal Laws filling her Divine Soul, her beautiful eyes were full of unprecedented absolute confidence. She smiled sweetly and said, "Husband, I feel that with our current strength, even if we encounter a long-famed Late-stage Mysterious Immortal expert, even if we cannot defeat them, we can still contend with them using this physical strength. If several of us join forces, suppressing them easily would be no difficult task."

"Not bad. These three months of bitter cultivation were not in vain. I am very satisfied with your transformation."

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over these magnificent Profound Immortal fairies before him, and he nodded with great satisfaction.

He knew that the gap in the high-level combat power of the Qingyun Dao Sect had finally been perfectly resolved.

He looked up, a dangerous and calculating sneer slowly curling on his handsome face. "Since the blade has been sharpened enough, it is naturally time to go out, stretch our muscles, and see some blood.

It's also time to collect the debts, with interest, that the Taiyi Immortal Sect has secretly owed our Qingyun Dao Sect all these years.

I want them to know the meaning of true fear."

He lowered his head slightly, his gaze specifically falling on the most composed Gu Qingxue and his most clever and quirky disciple, Lu Xueyao.

"Qingxue, Xue Yao, I have an important and interesting secret mission for you..."

Lu Yuan lowered his voice, a cunning light flashing in his eyes, as he fully disclosed his long-brewing "Entrapment" plan to the two women.

...

Half a month later, in Taiyi Immortal City—one of the three most central and prosperous commercial immortal cities in the entire Daluo Heaven—incalculable amounts of wealth passed through every day.

This massive cornucopia was precisely the most important and core industrial pillar under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, channeling massive amounts of cultivation resources to the Sect every year.

Today, Taiyi Immortal City was even more bustling than usual.

The largest "Heaven-Reaching Auction House" in the city was hosting a top-tier spring auction, claimed to be a once-in-a-century event.

Rumor had it that many damaged Immortal Artifacts unearthed from ancient ruins, as well as peerless Medicinal Pills for longevity, would appear at this auction.
