439: Chapter 439 The Deep Foundation of the Rear Area! The Extraordinary Logistics of My Beloved Wives

The storm of the harem scene at the Pilgrimage Square was temporarily quelled under the pressure of Xu Chen's Peak Emperor cultivation.

As the first wife, Su Qingge resolutely ordered people to take Shen Xi and Li Cangyue to the left and right side halls of the main Bedchamber to be strictly monitored.

Xu Chen was in no hurry to return to the Bedchamber to enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives.

He knew very well that with the Absolute Land Heaven-Connection Array of the Heavenly Temple hanging over their heads, the true life-and-death battle was imminent.

With a flash of his body, he transformed into a streak of purple-gold light and headed straight for the Forbidden Ground located in the back mountains of the Di Prefecture—the Xu Family Sword Pond.

Before he even got close, a sharp Sword Intent that seemed capable of piercing the sky rushed toward him.

Above the Sword Pond, thousands of spiritual swords circled and danced in mid-air, letting out bursts of high-pitched, clear cries.

In the center of this sky-covering sword shadow, three stunning figures stood in the air, positioned in the Three Talents Formation of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The Supreme Sword Embryo Lin Qingxue, the Peerless Sword Bone Nangong Waner, and his former beautiful Revered Master, Ye Qingwu.

The three women were all dressed in capable, plain-colored, tight-fitting martial attire. Fragrant sweat soaked their collars, outlining their graceful, undulating curves. Their expressions were solemn as their fingertips constantly formed profound sword seals.

"Slash!"

Lin Qingxue gave a soft shout.

The Quasi-Emperor level Sword Intent within the three women resonated violently, and the thousands of spiritual swords below instantly converged into a tens of thousands of feet long phantom of a sky-reaching giant sword.

This giant sword phantom not only contained destructive power capable of crushing everything but also carried a Heaven-Defying will to sever all shackles of rules.

The sword's edge pointed directly at the Nine Heavens, forcefully tearing a long rift in the grey haze of the Absolute Land Heaven-Connection Array above the Xu Family!

"What a domineering sword Formation."

Xu Chen arrived through the air and, seeing the slowly dissipating giant sword phantom, clapped his hands in praise without hesitation.

Hearing this familiar voice, the three women, who were currently adjusting their breathing, turned their heads in unison.

"Husband!"

A bright smile blossomed on Lin Qingxue's habitually cold face as she was the first to transform into a streak of light and plunge into Xu Chen's arms. Nangong Waner and Ye Qingwu followed closely behind, surrounding Xu Chen.

Xu Chen opened his arms and steadily caught his sweat-drenched Sword Cultivator wives, lowering his head to plant a heavy kiss on Lin Qingxue's fair forehead.

"The power of that sword strike just now is something even ordinary Emperors wouldn't dare take head-on. What is the name of this Formation you've created?"

"In response to Husband, this Formation is named 'Heaven-Slasher'."

Ye Qingwu naturally straightened Xu Chen's collar, her eyes filled with unconcealed pride.

"During the time you were away, Qingxue, Waner, and I pored through all the Archaic sword Formation Incomplete Manuals in the Xu Family treasury. This Heaven-Slasher Sword Formation was tailor-made for those Heavenly Divine Generals. As long as it is jointly activated by the Sword Cultivators among the hundred thousand Pojun Imperial Guards, even a rule barrier personally descended by the Heavenly Dao can be split open with one sword!"

"Well done."

Xu Chen looked at these women who worked day and night for him, his eyes full of doting affection.

He did not treat his women like canaries kept in a gilded cage, waiting for a man's favor.

Every one of them possessed peerless talent sufficient to stand alone in the Myriad Realms.

Xu Chen gave a casual wave of his hand.

The Storage Ring that had been filled to the brim in the depths of the Guixu sea shone brightly.

"Clatter—"

Hundreds and thousands of pieces of primordial divine gold, radiating an ancient aura and weighing billions of catties, along with the wreckage of severed Divine Chains of Order, poured out like small mountains onto the open ground at the edge of the Sword Pond.

"These are taboo divine Materials produced in Guixu."

Xu Chen held Nangong Waner's slender waist and commanded with heroic spirit: "Have the Elders of the Artifact Refining Pavilion work day and night to smelt all this Divine Gold into the Imperial Guards' standard Flying Swords. This Emperor wants our Xu Family's army to be armed to the teeth!"

"Thank you for the treasures, Husband!" The three women looked at the mountain of divine Materials, their beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance as they stood on their tiptoes to offer kisses on Xu Chen's cheeks.

After bidding farewell to the Sword Pond, Xu Chen went without pause to another important location—the Alchemy Pavilion.

Just as he stepped through the gates of the Alchemy Pavilion, a wave of scorching heat mixed with a refreshing and strange pill fragrance rushed toward him.

In the center of the hall, an Archaic bronze Medicine Cauldron as tall as a ten-story building was burning with the raging Nine Nether Divine Fire.

The Xu Family's Chief Alchemist, Pill Emperor Liu Hanyan, was currently standing before the Medicine Cauldron.

She wore a thin green gauze dress. To withstand the high temperature, her sleeves and hem were rolled up high, revealing large areas of snowy-white skin. Her fair cheeks were stained with a few smudges of black-grey medicinal residue, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, making her look uniquely charming and weary.

"Open!"

Liu Hanyan's hands formed a complex pill seal, which she slapped heavily onto the Medicine Cauldron.

"Buzz—"

The cauldron lid soared into the sky, and nine round, full, strange Medicinal Pills with a layer of grey film flowing on their surfaces flew out amidst the dragon-and-tiger-roar sounds of the pills, steadily landing into the jade box she had already prepared.

"Yaner, you've worked hard."

Xu Chen lightened his steps and walked up behind her, his broad hands directly encircling her slender waist from behind as his chin naturally rested on her fragrant shoulder.

Liu Hanyan's body stiffened slightly, but upon smelling that familiar and domineering masculine scent, her whole person instantly relaxed, leaning softly into Xu Chen's embrace.

"Husband, you're finally back."

Liu Hanyan held up the jade box in her hand, presenting it to Xu Chen like a treasure.

"Take a look at this."

Xu Chen looked down. Those nine pills clearly radiated top-tier pill rhythm, yet within the perception of an Emperor's Divine Thought, they seemed as if they didn't exist in this world at all, completely evading the capture of the Laws of the Great Dao.

"What is this?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Chen's eyes.

"This is the 'heaven-avoiding pill'."

Liu Hanyan reached out a slender finger to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her eyes flashing with fanaticism.

"Husband is going to fight a decisive battle with the Heavenly Temple. The Heavenly Dao will surely use the Absolute Land Heaven-Connection Array to suppress the cultivation of our Xu Family army. I searched through ancient recipes and consumed three thousand stalks of hundred-thousand-year-old Breath-Concealing Grass to deduce the refining method for this heaven-avoiding pill."

She turned around, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Xu Chen.

"As long as one consumes this pill, they can completely shield themselves from the perception of the Heavenly Dao's will for three hours. Our army can then ignore the pressure of the Heavenly Dao and erupt with ten percent of their full combat power!"

After hearing Liu Hanyan's explanation, Xu Chen's heart throbbed twice.

This was no ordinary pill; it was practically a Divine Artifact for reversing the situation on the battlefield!

Imagine, when the Heavenly Temple thinks the Xu Family army can only exert twenty or thirty percent of their strength under the Heavenly Dao's pressure, hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards, armed to the teeth and completely unrestricted by rules, charge out like tigers and wolves—what kind of one-sided slaughter would that be?

"Yaner, you truly are this Emperor's priceless treasure."

Xu Chen's heart surged with emotion. No longer able to suppress his excitement, he cupped Liu Hanyan's beautiful face, which was stained with a bit of medicinal residue, and lowered his head to unreservedly press against her soft red lips.

Liu Hanyan was kissed until she was panting and her legs went soft, leaving her with no choice but to cling tightly to Xu Chen's neck.

After a long time, Xu Chen reluctantly let her go.

With a wave of his hand, he piled all the peerless magic herbs tainted with the aura of death and creation, which he had scavenged from the Guixu Chaos Sea, onto the open ground of the Alchemy Pavilion.

"Using these Guixu Magic Herbs as the main ingredients, the medicinal effects will surely double again."

Xu Chen looked at Liu Hanyan, who was so shocked she was speechless, and made a domineering promise.

"Refine as much as you want; there are plenty of Materials. Once this war is over, this Emperor will personally reward you, the great contributor of the Xu Family, properly in the Bedchamber."
