341: Chapter 341 The Bully Young Master and the Tofu-Selling Village Girl!

After finishing all this, Cao Kun returned to the imperial palace bedchamber and summoned all the Jade Beasts together.

"My beloved consorts, I am going into seclusion to push for a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage."

"There is no time limit. Don't just idle about while inside the tower; Cultivate when you should, and train when you should."

Although the women usually competed and vied with each other, they knew the gravity of the situation.

In the world of cultivation, strength is paramount. Since their man was going to attend to serious business, they absolutely could not hold him back.

Empress Yue Chan stepped forward, straightened Cao Kun's collar, and said in a tone that was rarely gentle:

"Husband, Cultivate with peace of mind. Leave the state affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty to me and Pei Qinglan."

"The affairs of Hehuan Province are being handled by Canglan, so there will be no trouble in the rear."

After saying this, she lowered her voice and added a sentence in Cao Kun's ear:

"However, before you go into seclusion, shouldn't you arrange a schedule for us?"

Cao Kun: "... You are ranked third."

"Then who are first and second?"

"Yan Feiyue and Nangong Wan."

Empress Yue Chan's smile turned cold: "Oh."

"Third is fine. I am not picky, as long as Husband is happy."

Cao Kun felt a chill down his spine after hearing this.

Based on his experience from two lifetimes, when a woman says she isn't picky, it's usually when she is being the pickiest.

This tsundere Empress was definitely jealous!

Forget it, I'll add two more days for her later.

...

After putting all the Jade Beasts into the Demon Suppressing Tower, Cao Kun's secluded life officially began.

He created a strictly regulated daily schedule for himself.

The first fixed task every day was to extract a wisp of his Primordial Spirit and enter the chaos divine sword space within his Purple Mansion to check in.

He would unfailingly accept hundreds of sword spirits.

As more and more sword spirits merged into his body, Cao Kun's Purple Mansion was completely filled with golden divine radiance.

The golden dragon of Luck, condensed from the Emperors Law, expanded to the point of blotting out the sky.

Its draconic might was vast, shaking the past and present.

After finishing the daily sword spirit check-in, the next step was the unshakeable daily cultivation routine.

Cultivation emphasizes the balance between work and rest, and Cao Kun was well-versed in this.

To improve efficiency, he began to implement a group cultivation system.

First, he discussed statecraft and financial management with Empress Yue Chan and Pei Qinglan.

Then, he had in-depth exchanges on Alchemy insights with Nangong Wan and Yan Feiyue.

As for the Jade Beasts who didn't get a spot on the schedule, they were uniformly arranged by Cao Kun into the Law space on the second floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

They would adapt to various high-level Law fragments in advance, laying the foundation for future Breakthroughs.

As for those whose Heart-Nature was not yet perfect and were prone to Qi Deviation, such as Mo Yao, Liu Rumeng, and others, they were thrown by Cao Kun into the third floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Their cultivation and memories were sealed, and they experienced the cycles of life and death and the ways of the world.

This was to temper their Heart-Nature and complete their Dao foundation.

When Cao Kun found his seclusion boring, he would occasionally sneak into the third floor under the guise of checking their homework to find some fun.

One day, in the Mortal World realm, in a small town in the Jiangnan water country.

Mo Yao's assigned identity was a village girl selling tofu.

She was wearing coarse hemp clothes, without any makeup, and fine sweat beads oozed from her healthy, wheat-colored skin as she pushed the stone mill with effort.

Even dressed in rags, her hot figure still caused men on the street to glance at her repeatedly.

At the end of the street, a noisy clamor of people and dogs could be heard.

Cao Kun was dressed in a luxurious silk robe, waving a folding fan in his hand, followed by a dozen fierce-looking lackeys, strutting over.

His current identity was the bullying young master who oppressed men and women in the town.

"Yo, this young lady is really pretty."

Cao Kun walked up to the tofu stall and lifted Mo Yao's chin with his folding fan.

"Why sell tofu? Come back with this young master, and I guarantee you will have fine food and drink."

"You'll have endless delicious food every day!"

Although Mo Yao had lost her memory and cultivation, the stubbornness in her bones remained.

She slapped away Cao Kun's folding fan and glared at him: "You lecher! Get lost!"

"Oh, quite a spicy temper, this young master likes it."

Cao Kun leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, full of mischief.

"Little lady, you wouldn't want your seriously ill father to be dragged off to be conscripted tomorrow, would you?"

As soon as this classic line was spoken, Mo Yao trembled all over.

Logically, she should have resisted with her life.

But for some reason, facing this bully in front of her, her body instinctively went soft.

A subconscious urge to submit arose.

The instinctual memory of the Taiyin Glazed Battle Body made her have no resistance to Cao Kun's aura.

"You... you shameless..." Mo Yao bit her lip, her eyes turning red.

"Hehehe, take her away!" Cao Kun waved his hand.

The lackeys swarmed up and forcibly stuffed Mo Yao into the sedan chair.

Cao Kun laughed loudly and went away, returning to the luxurious mansion in the illusion, locked the door, and took care of business right there.

Afterwards, Cao Kun released Mo Yao's memory Seal.

Mo Yao regained her senses, and when she recalled the scene where she hadn't resisted but instead catered to him in every way when she was forcibly taken, she was ashamed and furious.

She grabbed a pillow and smashed it wildly at Cao Kun.

"You pervert! You big rascal! You actually played such a disgusting game in the illusion!"

Cao Kun dodged while laughing: "This is called tempering the heart in the Mortal World. Your husband is helping you undergo the tribulation, understand?"

"Get out!!!"

Besides Mo Yao, Cao Kun later tried it one by one on Liu Rumeng, Feng Jiuyou, and others.

This caused the women to hold meetings in the Spirit Mirror Space every day to denounce him, but after scolding him, they couldn't help but look forward to the next illusion training.

Time flies like an arrow, years pass like a shuttle.

Only a few months had passed in the outside world.

But under the time flow of the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower, Cao Kun and his beauties had already spent a full hundred years in the tower.

During these hundred years, crazy internal competition and unlimited resource allocation brought rich returns.

The cultivation of the harem group of Jade Beasts ushered in an explosive eruption.

Yan Feiyue, relying on her True Dragon Flawless Dao Body, was the first to break through to the Early Stage of the Mahayana Stage.

Yu Linglong followed closely, her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Bloodline fully awakened, and she also stepped into the Mahayana Stage.

Empress Yue Chan, Leng Qingyue, Pei Qinglan, and others all reached the Peak of the Body Integration Stage.

Even Nangong Wan, who started the latest, stood firmly at the Late Stage of the Body Integration Stage.

As for Cao Kun himself, after a hundred years of precipitation, baptism by hundreds of millions of sword spirits, and the perfect feedback from thirteen top-tier Jade Beasts, his accumulation had long reached a terrifying level that even the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm could not accommodate.

This day, on the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Cao Kun sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, his whole body wrapped in dense Chaos Qi.

Inside his Purple Mansion, that huge golden dragon let out a long roar that shattered the galaxy, rushed out of his body, and circled above Cao Kun's head.

Crack!

It was as if an invisible shackle in his body had completely broken.

A majestic aura that surpassed the limit of the Body Integration Stage and stood above all living beings in the Lower Realm pierced through the Demon Suppressing Tower and went straight into the clouds.

Above the Great Yan Dynasty, the wind and clouds changed color.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a million miles gathered continuously, turning into a huge funnel, pouring into the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The Heavenly Dao Laws manifested, ten thousand rays of golden light fell, and auspicious energy filled the entire territory of Great Yan.

Cao Kun opened his eyes, and within his double pupils, galaxies were born and destroyed, and all Laws flowed.

He could already clearly perceive the boundary wall between the Lower Realm and the Spirit Realm.

Early Stage of the Mahayana Stage!

There was no earth-shattering Lightning Tribulation, nor was there any life-and-death danger.

Everything was so natural.

Supreme Elder Zhan Hong, you old dog, your Grandpa Cao is coming up.
