153: Chapter 153 Three Years

"Hey, Miss Huang Xuan hasn't appeared in a long time. Did she find someone she likes and leave?"

"I was just about to ask. My Cang Yan hasn't been seen for a long time either. She hasn't left Miaoyin Pavilion, has she? My Cang Yan!"

"How long has it been since you saw her? I haven't seen her for over a year."

"Sigh, I don't know if you've noticed, but it seems many of the ladies at Miaoyin Pavilion disappeared all at once a year ago."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem that way!"

In a private room at Miaoyin Pavilion, several men were exchanging words with little interest.

Ever since the most beautiful group of ladies in the building had vanished a year ago, many people were no longer willing to come to Miaoyin Pavilion.

Those who still came only hoped that the women who had left would appear again so they could see them one last time.

"My Ruyi!"

Having drunk a bit too much, the man sitting in the corner clutched his head in pain and shouted.

"Brother, look on the bright side... Remember, she was never yours to begin with!"

Someone immediately offered concerned comfort.

"I thank you!"

"Why are you talking like that?"

"It's fine, what he said is the truth!"

The man in the corner quickly blocked him, then sighed.

"Hey, brother, as long as you can let go, don't be too miserable. After all, my Qianqian is gone too."

"Yeah, it's just a bit hard right now. Sigh, my Ruyi, and also my Momo, my little Niuniu, my Yunyun, where have you all gone?"

"..."

A group of people sighed.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of Miaoyin Pavilion.

Over a hundred women with big, pregnant bellies were lying comfortably on rocking chairs, chatting.

"Husband is truly amazing; he hasn't left the house for an entire year."

"Mhm, Husband has indeed been at it for a long time this time."

Hearing the new sisters' words, Great Elder Wu Xuan immediately spoke up.

She was holding a baby in her arms.

It was cooing 'Mother' in a baby voice.

Besides her, there were over a dozen others also holding their sons.

It had been a year since Yuan Chen and Wen Rou began.

Since they had married Yuan Chen, these women naturally wouldn't go out to perform anymore.

They were living comfortably as noble ladies.

Sometimes, when Yuan Chen was busy, a group of people would surround him, playing music and singing to cheer him on.

The scene had a unique flavor of its own.

Especially when this group of women deliberately timed their movements, he felt even more motivated.

While busy, Yuan Chen also took the opportunity to link his newly born children together, allowing them to improve slowly.

Zixia was also holding her child, listening to everyone's conversation with a blissful expression.

She loved her current life very much.

She didn't have to Cultivate alone and boringly every day.

Because... she discovered that she could improve her strength without even needing to Cultivate.

Usually, once they reached the Loose Cultivator stage, it was very difficult to improve their cultivation base.

But in just one year, she had improved by another tribulation.

Last month, she had already gone out to undergo her tribulation, becoming a Ninth-Tribulation Loose Cultivator.

But now, another matter that worried her had appeared.

She was worried about undergoing Ascension ahead of time.

If that happened, her husband and children would still be in the Lower Realm, and she would certainly feel terrible.

Yuan Chen's strength was increasing very quickly, so it was still very possible for him to keep up with her speed.

But that made her even more worried.

Her children were all still young, and she didn't feel entirely at ease leaving them to others to care for.

Once Yuan Chen came out, she would have to discuss with him properly what to do.

Time flew by.

Another two years passed.

"Ah, where is my Yingying?"

Outside Miaoyin Pavilion, arguments arose once again.

They had been able to wait for the previous two years, but in the third year, after the lady they had been waiting for still didn't appear for a long time, some could no longer hold back.

"She got married, didn't I tell you?"

Qiu Meng said impatiently.

She had been in the back teasing the children with the other sisters, but had been called by the ladies in the front to handle the situation.

She had already followed Yuan Chen, and Miaoyin Pavilion was no longer planning to stay open, but there were still many ladies here.

After they left with Yuan Chen, they couldn't rest easy knowing the ladies here had no one to protect them, so she had to continue serving as the Pavilion Master.

"I don't believe it!"

The man shouted angrily.

Qiu Meng looked at the other party speechlessly.

It was like this again.

She waved her hand and directly threw him out.

Since when was it someone else's turn to be arrogant at Miaoyin Pavilion?

Before, she had been worried about provoking someone she couldn't afford to offend, but now that Yuan Chen was here, what was there to fear?

Yuan Chen's own words: "Be arrogant, don't worry about provoking others."

After throwing the person out and telling the ladies to continue, she returned to the backyard with graceful steps.

"Yuan Chen, you've come out?"

Just as she returned to the backyard, Qiu Meng saw him chatting and laughing with the sisters and immediately called out happily.

Yuan Chen smiled in acknowledgment.

Three years had passed; he was finally done.

Before coming, he hadn't expected to stay here for three years, but the results were very significant.

Now, his strength had long since improved to the Mahayana Stage Perfection.

However, he hadn't expected the Breath Concealment Technique to be so powerful.

He had only cultivated the Breath Concealment Technique to the fifth level, yet it could even deceive the Heavenly Dao.

He hadn't been pulled by the Upper Realm at all.

However, he had a feeling that if he were willing now, he could release his spirit and directly undergo Ascension.

But... why ascend?

He hadn't even finished exploring the Cultivation World yet!

Since it was up to him, he would ascend whenever he felt like it.

As for which Realm he was currently in, he wasn't entirely sure himself, but it was roughly equivalent to the strength of a Fifth or Sixth-Tribulation Loose Cultivator.

If placed in the Immortal Realm, it would be the strength of someone who had just ascended, which was the Early or Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal.

The lowest tier of strength in the Immortal Realm.

Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal.

Human Immortal corresponded to the Mahayana Stage.

Earth Immortal was Loose Cultivator stages five through eight.

Heavenly Immortal was Loose Cultivator stages nine through twelve.

Anything above that was a Golden Immortal.

Besides that, his Azure Dragon Bloodline had also improved significantly.

[Bloodline: Golden Dragon: 92000/100000]

He would soon be able to become a Top-tier Divine Beast.

But he guessed that his Top-tier Divine Beast form should be the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

This was evolving upwards from the Golden Dragon.

Originally, the Bloodline improvement would have only added up to fifty thousand or so, but he hadn't expected his 'One Belt One Road' to be so strong.

Every moment, there were Bloodline points being added.

In just three short years, it had allowed him to almost touch the Top-tier Divine Beast level.

Now, even if he did nothing, it would take no more than a few months for him to successfully advance through 'One Belt One Road'.

He took stock: Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formation had all simultaneously reached the ninth level, and at the same time, reached the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

He flipped his palm, and a Low Grade Immortal Artifact appeared.

Immortal Artifacts were pitifully rare in the Cultivation World; there were probably only a few dozen at most.

Very few people in the Cultivation World could successfully refine them.

Most of them were brought along when people came from the Upper Realm.

Even a Low Grade Immortal Artifact was extremely precious, but Yuan Chen felt unsatisfied.

Before long, he should be able to refine one himself.

This was a reward after the birth of his Top-tier Divine Beast child.

Compared to the other children, the difference wasn't just a little bit.

He hadn't been in contact with Luo Xinyi of the Dragon Clan or his wife and child in the Exotic Beast Mansion for three years.

Yuan Chen took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to chat for a while.
