389: Chapter 389 Helping the Demon Lord ascend to power, keeping the benefits within the family.

Chu Sheng leaned against the back of his chair, closing his eyes as he ran through the blueprint in his mind once again.

Helping Yu Rumeng ascend to Devil Sovereign, helping Wan Jiuer ascend to Demon Sovereign, and acting as the backup from behind—it was both prestigious and saved him from being entangled in all those twists and turns all day long.

However, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Wan Jiuer was still trapped within the formation of the Boundless Sea, and although she had been trapped for a thousand years,

a few more months didn't matter, but right now he had to handle what could be done first, at least getting the operation running.

Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and matters must be handled one by one.

He opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon Yu Rumeng.

She was standing a few steps away, her face still wearing that vigilant yet confused expression from earlier, as if she still hadn't figured out what Chu Sheng actually wanted to get from her.

Chu Sheng looked at her for a moment, then spoke a sentence: "Forget it, no more acting. I'll help you regulate your condition."

Yu Rumeng's gaze paused on his face for a moment: "Regulate?"

"Yin and Yang union."

When Chu Sheng said this, his tone was very flat, neither deliberately lowered nor flippant.

"It's not a strange matter. I have a Cultivation Technique that can help you rapidly boost your cultivation through this. In your current state, it would take at least several decades to completely digest the Inheritance of Wrath, but I can help you shorten that time to a few months."

Yu Rumeng was silent for a moment.

She said: "What do you want to get from me?"

Chu Sheng did not beat around the bush.

"Instead of letting that fellow Arrogance take the territory of the Devil Domain, it's better to let one of our own sit in that position. I'm not saying I want to be the Devil Sovereign myself; I don't have that mindset. But I also can't just watch Arrogance easily swallow the entire Devil Domain."

He paused for a moment. "Keep the fertile water within the family."

He looked at her: "You are more suitable than anyone else."

Yu Rumeng did not answer immediately.

She lowered her eyelids, as if making her judgment within those few breaths, and then she raised her eyes, walked a few steps closer to him, and stood still before him.

She reached out to untie the cords of her outer robe, the sound of the garment sliding down appearing exceptionally clear within the empty hall.

She did not speak again, simply standing still in front of Chu Sheng, waiting for his movement.

Chu Sheng did not speak further either.

He reached out to embrace her waist, lowering his head to kiss her jade lips.

...

The power of "Many Children, Many Blessings" slowly unfolded during their contact, like some pre-arranged protocol automatically running.

The efficacy of the colorful trait was far more powerful than those single Cultivation Techniques; the speed at which it could transfer cultivation far exceeded ordinary dual Cultivation Techniques.

Chu Sheng felt the spiritual power within his body flowing through their contact, following a specific path into her Meridians like a newly opened sluice gate.

Yu Rumeng's aura began to climb under the infusion of that power.

Her Dao Palace surged, expanded, and reshaped itself; Bottlenecks were blasted open layer by layer, resembling a riverbed being repeatedly washed and widened.

She bit her lip and let out a muffled groan, and then her aura abruptly shot up a notch, steadily halting at the Early Stage of Spirit Nurturing.

Before she even had time to catch her breath, the next wave of power surged up, pushing her aura further upward all the way until it stopped at the Late Stage of Yuanshen.

She opened her eyes and looked at Chu Sheng, her gaze carrying a complex expression that even she couldn't clearly describe.

Her cultivation had been stuck at the Peak of the True Transformation Realm for a long time; she had thought it would take her at least several decades to break through.

As a result, in less than half an hour, she crossed from Palace Building to Spirit Nurturing, directly leaping over a major Realm.

She lowered her head to look at her palm, feeling that newborn power flowing steadily within her Meridians.

Chu Sheng withdrew his hand and leaned against the back of his chair: "Adapt to it first. Once your aura is completely stabilized, there is one more thing to do."

Yu Rumeng asked: "What thing?"

Chu Sheng raised his hand, and a wisp of black mist surged from his palm, condensing in front of her into an illusory mold outline.

He closed his eyes as if recalling something, and then that mass of mist began to change.

It slowly molded into the appearance of a jade token, with fine patterns carved along its edges, emitting a warm and gentle radiance.

He said: "That Magic Treasure you wanted to refine previously, I've helped you refine it."

That jade token gradually solidified in the palm of his hand, its surface shimmering with a soft luster, like an artifact that had been polished over many years.

He handed it to her: "rumeng token. You can use it now."

Yu Rumeng reached out to take the rumeng token, her fingertips gently caressing its smooth surface.

She had originally thought she would need to spend at least several decades to completely digest the Inheritance of Wrath, and even more effort to refine that Magic Treasure she had thought about for a long time.

Yet now, in less than a night, her cultivation broke through several layers, and the Magic Treasure had been casually refined by someone and placed right in front of her.

Holding that warm rumeng token, she looked up at Chu Sheng, her gaze carrying an indescribable complexity.

It was as if she had finally confirmed something that left her both surprised and compelled to accept.

She softly muttered a sentence: "Not only can you be the Devil Sovereign yourself, but you can also casually help others ascend to the position of Devil Sovereign."

Chu Sheng did not reply, simply leaning against the back of his chair as a tacit agreement.

What he could do was indeed far more than charging into battle himself; he could also push the people around him into those crucial positions.

The feedback of "Many Children, Many Blessings" was equally effective on Dao Companions.

As long as his cultivation was high enough and the other bound confidantes maintained stable contact, their cultivation wouldn't lag behind by too much.

Therefore, one must actively communicate and interact with these Dao Companions.

On the other side, Zhou Wantang was still waiting for news in the Zhou Family's estate.

She had just preliminarily tamed that Devilish Qi of Envy, and her aura was much more stable than before, having already firmly established herself at the Mid-stage Palace Building.

But she couldn't sit still; she paced back and forth in the courtyard several times until she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Before leaving, Chu Sheng said he would return quickly, but then he left her hanging here while he ran thousands of li away to save a female Devil King.

Zhou Wantang bit her lip and glanced down at her hand. That emerald-green Devilish Qi was slowly surging within her Meridians, as if responding to her emotional fluctuations.

At this moment, she remembered what Chu Sheng had said before leaving: "Go make a name for yourself in the Devil Domain, preferably become a Devil King; anyway, I've got your back."

Zhou Wantang stamped her feet in anger.

She suddenly made a decision.

She changed into a neat dark-colored robe, re-tied her hair, and then pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard.

She didn't greet anyone, nor did she report to the Zhou Family, heading straight along the city's streets toward the direction of the city gate.

Anyway, Chu Sheng told her to mess around freely and make a name for herself.

She was going to the Nine Nether Palace.

With her current cultivation and Heavenly Demon Body Aptitude, holding the position of a Devil King was more than enough.

She couldn't keep staying in the Zhou Family waiting for someone to return; she needed to establish her position first, at least not acting like someone placed in a side courtyard waiting for others to come back and make decisions.

But to hold a Devil King post, you needed at least some combat achievements.

Furthermore, Elder Minghe was right near the Nine Nether Palace, closest to her.

She decided to go find him first, and it was about time to let him know that times weren't going to be easy.

Chu Sheng's original thought was to wait until Yu Rumeng's side was settled before checking on Zhou Wantang's side, but he didn't know that Zhou Wantang had already started taking active steps.
