417: Chapter 418 Profound Dharma, Perfect Harmony and Primordial Chaos

Lu Chen's gaze swept over the nearby sea area.

His Divine Sense expanded.

A few kilometers away, a group of plump lobsters were dozing in the crevices of a reef.

Further out on the sandy seabed, several sea urchins lay lazily.

There were also various groupers, abalones, scallops...

It was practically a natural giant refrigerator.

"Wait here, I'll be right back!"

Before Lu Chen's voice had even faded, his figure flickered and he vanished from the spot.

The next second, he appeared at the lobster nest kilometers away.

Before those lobsters could react, they were enveloped by an invisible force and instantly transported in front of Lu Chen.

Next came the sea urchins, groupers, large abalones...

In less than a minute, Lu Chen returned to the original spot with a large pile of fresh seafood.

The four women watched, dumbstruck.

"This... you just caught them like that?" Yin Susu asked stutteringly.

"It's nothing." Lu Chen casually tossed the seafood onto a nearby reef protruding from the water. "The Space Law has infinite wonderful uses."

What he didn't say was that with his current Divine Sense range and control over space, let alone a few kilometers, he could instantly fetch seafood from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away if he wanted.

"Alright, time to get to work!"

Lu Chen rolled up his sleeves (though he wasn't wearing clothes) and began preparing the ingredients.

He activated the Water Control Incantation, and fresh water automatically washed the seafood.

He activated the Fire Control Incantation, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air on the reef, its temperature just right.

He activated the Metal Control Incantation, and a burst of sharp energy automatically sliced open the lobsters and abalones.

He activated the Wood Control Incantation, drawing in nearby plants to extract natural spice juices.

...

The series of operations was as smooth as flowing water, leaving the four women dazzled.

This wasn't just cooking; it was practically a performance of Divine Abilities!

Yin Susu stared blankly and murmured, "This guy... is he using his cultivation for cooking?"

Fang Yanqing's mouth twitched. "Extravagant."

Ji Xiaofu and Yang Huangyi looked at Lu Chen with eyes full of admiration.

Soon, an enticing aroma permeated the air.

Golden, crispy grilled lobsters emitted a rich garlic fragrance.

Fresh and tender steamed eggs with sea urchin were garnished with emerald-green scallions.

The steamed grouper had snow-white meat and clear juices.

Charcoal-grilled abalones had charred, fragrant edges and a springy interior.

There were also various shellfish, either boiled or grilled, giving off the fresh scent of the sea.

"Let's eat!" Lu Chen waved his hand.

The four women had long been salivating; they cheered and gathered around.

They didn't care about their image anymore, picking up the grilled lobsters with their hands and feasting greedily.

"Mmm... delicious!" Yin Susu praised indistinctly while gnawing on a lobster leg. "It tastes even better than before!"

"Mhm, mhm!" Yang Huangyi nodded like a chick pecking at grain, her mouth smeared with sauce.

Ji Xiaofu ate more gracefully, sampling the steamed egg with sea urchin in small bites, a satisfied smile on her face.

Fang Yanqing's movements were elegant, but her speed was not slow at all as she picked up piece after piece of grouper meat.

Looking at their happy faces, Lu Chen felt a sense of fulfillment.

No matter how strong the power or how high the Realm, the ultimate goal was nothing more than the smiles of those by one's side.

He picked up a grilled abalone and handed it to Fang Yanqing. "Try this."

Fang Yanqing glanced at him, took the abalone, took a gentle bite, and nodded. "Not bad."

Lu Chen then picked up the largest lobster claw and handed it to Yin Susu. "Here, a reward for you."

Yin Susu's eyes lit up, and she took it without hesitation. "Thanks, Hubby!"

He didn't forget Ji Xiaofu and Yang Huangyi either, serving them the most tender fish meat and scallops respectively.

A sumptuous seafood feast proceeded amidst laughter and joy.

The sun was just right, the breeze was gentle, the seawater was soft, and beautiful women were by his side.

Lu Chen felt that this was what life was truly about.

Laws, the Great Dao, Becoming a Saint through the Physical Body... none of it felt as real or as pleasant as this moment.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the four women lay lazily on the beach.

Yin Susu rubbed her round little belly. "So comfortable..."

Yang Huangyi leaned on Ji Xiaofu's shoulder, squinting her eyes like a lazy kitten.

Fang Yanqing gazed at the distant horizon where the sea met the sky, her thoughts unknown.

Lu Chen walked over to her side and sat down next to her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Fang Yanqing withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Nothing, I just feel... a bit surreal."

"Oh?"

"I never thought I could enjoy the sun and beach here. I'm just afraid that one day, this won't be able to continue." Fang Yanqing's tone carried a hint of subtle gratitude.

Lu Chen knew what she was worried about. After all, she was the oldest among them; although she had the body of a twenty-something, her actual age was a reality.

Lu Chen smiled slightly and reached out his hand, palm up.

A ball of soft white light condensed in his palm, emitting a warm, pure, and inclusive aura.

Next to the white light, a ball of deep black light condensed, carrying a sense of feminine softness, restraint, and stillness.

The black and white Qis, like two Yin and Yang fish chasing and playing with each other, slowly rotated in his palm, forming a perfect Taiji pattern.

"This is..." Fang Yanqing's eyes narrowed.

"Yin and Yang Aiding Each Other, Primal Chaos as One," Lu Chen explained.

"You mean... we can fuse the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Skill?" Yin Susu asked in surprise.

"Theoretically feasible," Lu Chen nodded. "However, the process might be a bit... special."

His gaze swept over the four women, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

The four women felt a bit uneasy under his gaze.

"What... special process?" Ji Xiaofu asked in a small voice.

Lu Chen coughed and said solemnly, "Lone Yin cannot give birth, and lone Yang cannot grow. For Yin and Yang to fuse perfectly, it naturally requires... well, Yin-Yang Harmony."

He paused, watching the changing expressions on the four women's faces, and continued, "To put it simply, it requires the help of an external force, or rather... a medium, to guide the Yin and Yang Qis within you to blend."

"A medium?" Yin Susu seemed to have thought of something; her pretty face turned slightly red, and her gaze became playful. "What medium?"

Lu Chen pointed to himself. "Far away at the horizon, yet right before your eyes."

The air suddenly went silent.

The sea breeze blew past, carrying a hint of ambiguity.

Blushes appeared on the cheeks of the four women simultaneously.

Even Fang Yanqing, who had the coldest temperament, felt her ears burning slightly.

Yin Susu was the first to react; she gave a light 'tui' and said crossly, "I thought it was some profound method, but after all that... you just want to take advantage of us!"

Lu Chen looked innocent. "I'm doing this for your own good! To solve the problem you're most worried about! I'm making a huge sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice?" Yin Susu raised an eyebrow. "I don't see it."

"Of course it's a huge sacrifice!" Lu Chen said with mock grief. "Guiding the Fusion of Yin and Yang is very taxing on the mind and... well, Primal Yang!"

"Pfft!" Yang Huangyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ji Xiaofu also covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"As if I'd believe you!" Yin Susu rolled her eyes at him, but a strange light flickered in the depths of her eyes.

Fusing Nine Yin and Nine Yang to reach the Realm of Primal Chaos as One...

He paused and added, "Of course, it mainly depends on whether you are willing."

The four women looked at each other, exchanging glances.

After a moment, Yin Susu was the first to speak, her eyes carrying a hint of defiance. "Fine, since it's for our own good, then we... shall accept your kindness?"

Fang Yanqing nodded slightly, signaling her agreement.

Ji Xiaofu and Yang Huangyi had crimson cheeks and lowered their heads in silent consent.

Lu Chen's heart stirred, but he maintained a serious expression. "Mhm, since that's the case, then there's no time to lose. Let's find a quiet place and begin... Cultivating."

His gaze swept around, and he pointed to the large tent by the sea.

"How about there?"

Yin Susu bit her lip and glared at him.

...

The waves gently lapped against the reef.

The sun was still bright, and the sea was still azure.

Faintly, suppressed and fragmented sounds accompanied the rippling water, drifting from the tent and quickly dissipating in the wind.

Until the sun set in the west, dyeing the sea surface a golden red.

Lu Chen walked out of the large tent feeling refreshed, a satisfied smile on his face.

The auras within them, however, were more harmonious and balanced than ever before.

The powers of Nine Yin and Nine Yang had completely fused.

Yin Susu gave Lu Chen a reproachful punch. "It's all your fault!"

Her voice, however, was soft and lacked any real strength.
