986: Major breakthrough! Elevation of life level!

"Hm~" Guan Miaoyin let out a soft hum, involuntarily, exceptionally moving, like a celestial melody, which pulled Chu Ying's wandering and ethereal consciousness back.

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, her delicate brows tightly furrowed, Chu Ying felt a pang of heartache and guilt. In that previous life, he had allowed Guan Miaoyin to die to save him. His gift of the Lotus Heart to revive her was merely to repay that kindness, yet she had waited for him for nine lives, until this current one...

"Young Master Chu... don't..." Guan Miaoyin opened her bright eyes, gazing softly at Chu Ying, her voice pure and pleasant, yet extremely alluring, with a hint of pleading, "...Can we continue?"

Chu Ying felt even more ashamed upon hearing this, and said bitterly, "Miss Miaoyin, you're making me feel like I'm not human."

He couldn't help but sigh, but then Guan Miaoyin's red lips kissed his, her eyes filled with joy and shyness: "Young Master Chu, don't say that. Miaoyin is willing to wait for you, only wishing that Young Master Chu would allow Miaoyin to follow you in this life... Miaoyin will never be able to Reincarnate again, because Miaoyin has already found you."

"Ah..."

Chu Ying sighed bitterly, what virtue and ability did he possess?

"Miss Miaoyin, then I apologize, I'm going to get serious now." Chu Ying's expression tightened slightly, still feeling heartache but also solemn. At this moment, only by truly entering a state of Cultivation was the best repayment for Guan Miaoyin's affection.

Not long after, on this emerald lake island, Chu Ying and Guan Miaoyin's echoing, heartfelt, and uncontrollably passionate cries resounded.

"Young Master Chu, can Miaoyin call you 'Husband'?"

Guan Miaoyin opened her clear eyes, looking at Chu Ying with pleading and longing.

"Of course." Chu Ying gently ran his hand through Guan Miaoyin's beautiful hair. Her pure and ethereal temperament, like a Bodhisattva, made Chu Ying dare not excessively defile her, only feeling heartache.

Unlike Zhu Linglong, Murong Tingyu, and Hua Lian, those three 'scheming' demonesses, Guan Miaoyin had a long-standing past connection with him, a Karma of love. She had waited for him for nine lives. He absolutely could not let her down, otherwise, he would truly "not be human."

"Husband, please love Miaoyin to your heart's content~" Guan Miaoyin's autumn eyes rippled with spring, as she tightly embraced Chu Ying...

Within the Misty Rain Immortal Palace, Xi Yao and Qiu Lingsu exchanged glances, a little helpless.

"It's already been a day and a night, Chu Dage truly doesn't know what day or night is anymore." Qiu Lingsu sighed softly, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

"Sister Guan looked so pure and serene, exuding a temperament like a Buddhist Bodhisattva, but I never expected her to become like that when Cultivating with Chu Ying..." Xi Yao bit her soft lip, somewhat enlightened.

But as they spoke, the two couldn't help but glance at each other again, their cheeks simultaneously flushing, because they themselves were the same.

Meanwhile, on this day.

Chu Ying and Guan Miaoyin, entangled on the island, Cultivated in various places on the island, leaving traces of their Dao Cultivation in every corner.

Their union was also the end of that past Karma, yet it was the birth of new bonds and Karma.

Guan Miaoyin's Cultivation naturally Breakthrough to the Ninth Tribulation Peak, without any surprises. And after Chu Ying absorbed Guan Miaoyin's primal Yin Origin, the Origin of his Lotus Heart entered his body, and his entire being seemed to undergo a change on the overall life level!

His Cultivation was still Sixth Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, but his life level seemed to have far exceeded the Quasi-Emperor level, exceeding the so-called Transcendent level.

Within his blood, his flesh and bones, and his Divine Soul, there seemed to be an added "Longevity Substance" belonging to his root, that immortal Green Lotus!

"Longevity Substance, what does it mean? Immortal? Indestructible? Eternal?"

Chu Ying was very surprised. Although his Cultivation hadn't changed much, his body seemed to be filled with inexhaustible power. The most direct change was that his Physical Body strength soared from the original 72 billion jun to 80 billion jun!

This was extremely exaggerated, considering Chu Ying had always carried the miniaturized Thirty-six Heavenly Stars and Seventy-two Earthly Fiends Demon Suppressing Divine Needles, which were derived from the demon suppressing immortal needle. Such immense gravity constantly tempered his body, yet his progress remained slow.

After all, having reached his current level of Physical Body strength, every step of progress was as difficult as ascending to heaven, unimaginable.

And merely by completing the union with Guan Miaoyin and absorbing the power of his own Lotus Heart, his Physical Body strength soared by nearly 8 billion jun, which greatly astonished Chu Ying himself.

"The Longevity Substance has caused my body to undergo another Nirvana transformation unknowingly, and it's different from before."

"And my Immeasurable World..."

At this moment, in Chu Ying's Immeasurable World, the heaven and earth cloud sea was a vast Grandmist. A mysterious Green Lotus, appearing eternally verdant and immortal, was born from the cloud sea. That Green Lotus still looked very tiny and weak, yet it was exceptionally tenacious.

And with the appearance of the Longevity Green Lotus, the Dao that had already evolved in the Immeasurable World seemed to have been sublimated, instantly becoming more than ten times stronger, which was quite astonishing.

Because what returned was Chu Ying's true Origin, his Origin and fundamental energy in this world, between heaven and earth.

"My power has increased significantly, but it's hard to judge the exact extent. However, I feel that I am at least a hundred times stronger than when I hadn't united with Miaoyin."

Chu Ying himself was surprised. He believed his current strength was already very formidable. If it were to increase a hundredfold, what kind of peerless and invincible demeanor would that be?

Involuntarily, Chu Ying felt even more heartache for Guan Miaoyin's waiting, and couldn't help but Cultivate with her even more diligently.

Many days later.

Chu Ying and Guan Miaoyin walked out of the emerald lake together, and Xi Yao and Qiu Lingsu, who had long been waiting with eager anticipation, stared intently at the two. Their gaze seemed to be questioning: "What exactly did you do for so long?"

Guan Miaoyin's expression was as usual, without the slightest blush, still as pure as a Buddhist Bodhisattva, serene and peaceful like a Bodhisattva.

Xi Yao sighed, giving the two a resentful look, and the words on the tip of her tongue could only be swallowed back.

"After handling the matters here at Misty Rain Immortal Palace, we'll return."

The matters to be handled were naturally the same as with Jade Maiden Mountain, Phoenix Academy, and Burial Flower Holy Land previously: to Cultivate new Palace Master successors for Misty Rain Immortal Palace, who needed at least Ninth Tribulation Middle Stage Cultivation to stabilize the region.

In fact, the resources Chu Ying left behind were enough for the Dominator new successors of these forces to steadily Cultivate to the Ninth Tribulation Late Stage. After all, their Aptitude was limited, and whether they could reach that level depended on them individually.

After Guan Miaoyin communicated with the two Ninth Tribulation Early Stage Elders of Misty Rain Immortal Palace who had the highest Aptitude and best Heart-Nature, she began to assist them in their Breakthrough. Breaking through from Ninth Tribulation Early Stage to Middle Stage was not difficult; this was just a small Realm stage transition, and for Cultivators who could Cultivate to this level, there wouldn't be too much difference.

The Late Stage was the major threshold, hence the difference in Cultivation was more due to the accumulation of resources and the passage of time.

When everything was arranged, Misty Rain Immortal Palace had two more Ninth Tribulation Middle Stage Cultivators, one of whom succeeded as the new Palace Master.

"Let's go, return."
