130: Chapter 130 Taking a Concubine: The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Realm – Explosive Rewards!

With the Alchemy Department, War Department, Li Cai's intelligence network, and the Heavenly Court Bank all established, the fledgling Heavenly Court finally didn't require Li Xuan to worry about every little thing.

Various affairs began to operate in an orderly fashion.

The strength of the war generals under Xuanfeng's training grew stronger and stronger.

Dan Lingzi led the Alchemy Slaves in a desperate effort to refine Medicinal Pills, turning medicinal herbs into the Heavenly Court's reserves.

Li Cai utilized his God of Wealth Destiny to its fullest, relying on the Heavenly Court Bank to quietly spread the intelligence network across the surrounding Immortal Realms.

Li Xuan became a hands-off shopkeeper, finally able to free up his hands to continue his own cultivation.

Taking concubines.

Signing in.

"It's better to let professionals handle professional matters; the feeling of strategizing from a distance is truly not bad."

Li Xuan lay on the imperial throne in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, eating the Immortal Fruits brought by the maids.

He sensed a Divine Thought being transmitted over.

"Father, your loyal child, your Qianliyan, is sending you the first battle report."

It was the voice of his third son, Li Cai, seeking credit.

Li Xuan smiled.

It was a bit unexpected.

This kid's efficiency was quite high; there were results after only a few days.

"Speak,"

he replied.

"Hehe."

Li Cai's excited voice came through.

"Father, the Guest Elder we planted in the Zixia Immortal Realm sent back news that a major event has occurred in their Realm."

"The Saintess of the Zixia Holy Land, the primary Holy Land of the Zixia Immortal Realm, Fairy Zixia, was ambushed by enemies while out for tempering."

"I heard the other side has a Golden Immortal leading the team. Although Fairy Zixia's talent is high, two fists are no match for four hands; she was heavily injured and escaped. She is currently hiding in a valley near the Southern Heaven Gate to heal."

A Saintess of an Immortal Realm?

Li Xuan felt a bit of interest.

But that wasn't enough.

The Immortal Realm was so vast that such vendettas between Genius young women happened every day.

Li Cai likely sensed that Li Xuan wasn't very interested and hastily added more.

"Father, the key is that I also scouted a secret piece of information. This Fairy Zixia is extraordinary. Not only is she a renowned beauty in the Immortal Realm, but she also possesses a very rare special Physique—the Nine Yin Mysterious Body."

The Nine Yin Mysterious Body.

Li Xuan sat up straight, his interest piqued.

For someone with a Chaos Divine Physique like him, this kind of extremely Yin and pure Physique was a great supplementary Cauldron.

Its value was even higher than the princess with the Innate Dao Body from before.

If he could take her as a concubine, the System rewards would surely be ridiculously high.

"Father, this is the first success for our intelligence network. Should we send Protector Xuanfeng over to invite her back?"

Li Cai suggested.

This was simply a godsend opportunity.

"No need."

Li Xuan stood up from the imperial throne, putting away the leisure on his face.

"For such a person, I must naturally go and invite her personally to show the sincerity of the Heavenly Court."

After speaking, he disappeared.

What a joke.

How could he let a subordinate take over such a good deed as a hero saving a beauty?

This time, he had to go personally and put on a good performance.

Outside the Southern Heaven Gate, in an unnamed valley with thin Immortal Qi.

Moonlight spilled over a patch of messy grass.

A woman in purple, wearing a light veil, was leaning weakly behind a mountain rock, her aura withered.

Despite her disheveled state, her temperament remained extraordinary.

Her face was pale, and the light veil she wore had been stained red with blood.

She was the current Saintess of the Zixia Holy Land, Fairy Zixia.

A wound deep enough to see bone on her abdomen was being continuously eroded by black qi, preventing the wound from healing.

"Am I... really going to die here today..."

A wave of despair surged into her heart.

Her last bit of Immortal Yuan was exhausted, and her Medicinal Pills were all gone.

She could feel the aura of the group behind her rapidly approaching.

She was prepared to detonate her immortal body rather than suffer humiliation.

Several figures carrying killing intent descended from the sky, landing at the valley entrance and surrounding her.

The leading one-eyed brute had a fierce expression and was at the Golden Immortal Realm; the others were all at the True Immortal Peak.

"Hahaha, Fairy Zixia, you're quite good at running."

The one-eyed Golden Immortal stepped forward, sizing her up.

"Unfortunately, you've ultimately fallen into my hands. Tsk tsk tsk, the legendary Nine Yin Mysterious Body—if I refine you into a great medicine, my cultivation might even be able to rush into the Taiyi Realm."

"Despicable,"

Fairy Zixia's voice trembled weakly.

"Despicable? Hahaha, the winner takes all. If you want to blame someone, blame that dead Master of yours who poked his nose into other people's business years ago and killed my younger brother."

The one-eyed man said angrily.

"Today, I will make you, his disciple, pay it back a hundredfold."

Saying that, he stretched out his large hand covered in black scales and reached toward Fairy Zixia.

Fairy Zixia closed her eyes, preparing to detonate her Primordial Spirit.

Just then, an indifferent voice rang out in the valley without any warning.

"You all are disturbing her rest."

"Who is it?"

The one-eyed Golden Immortal was startled and turned around to shout.

Under the moonlight not far away stood a man wearing a black imperial robe.

He just stood there, with no detectable magic power on his body.

Fairy Zixia also opened her eyes, looking at the man who had suddenly appeared.

The one-eyed man's Divine Thought swept over Li Xuan, and finding nothing unusual, he felt relieved.

"I wondered who it was; turns out it's just a pretty boy who doesn't know life from death, trying to play the hero saving the beauty?"

"Kid, for the sake of your decent looks, kneel down and kowtow three times to me right now, then get lost. I can pretend I didn't see you."

Li Xuan ignored him, only looking at Fairy Zixia.

Being so ignored, the one-eyed man instantly flew into a rage.

"Seeking death!"

He roared, his Golden Immortal magic power erupting as his scaled hand turned into a black shadow, striking toward Li Xuan's head with a vicious wind.

Li Xuan didn't even bother to lift a hand.

With a thought,

a terrifying pressure descended upon the valley.

The charging one-eyed Golden Immortal's figure froze.

The True Immortal subordinates behind him directly knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Under the pressure, their immortal bodies and Primordial Spirits were on the verge of collapse.

"This... this... is... what..."

The cruel smile on the one-eyed Golden Immortal's face froze, replaced by endless horror.

He felt like he wasn't facing a person,

but an entire Heavenly Dao.

Or even, an existence stronger than the Heavenly Dao.

Before this pressure, his Golden Immortal cultivation was utterly fragile.

"Noisy,"

Li Xuan said impatiently.

He casually flicked a finger toward the group of Loose Cultivators.

A soft sound rang out.

Fairy Zixia watched with her own eyes as that Golden Immortal, along with his subordinates, were all annihilated in both body and soul.

In the valley, except for the sound of the wind, there wasn't the slightest noise.

The pressure had not yet completely dissipated.

Fairy Zixia looked at everything before her, momentarily speechless.

She thought she was dead for sure, never expecting to be casually saved by a passing powerhouse.

He had wiped out a Golden Immortal with a casual gesture.

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

A Taiyi Golden Immortal?

Or... the legendary Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

Just as her mind was reeling, Li Xuan had already walked up to her.

He looked at the woman's pale face, took out a jade bottle from his robes, and poured out a golden pill that had a rich fragrance but looked poor in appearance.

This was refined from the scraps left over when Dan Lingzi refined the nine-turn golden pill. Although it couldn't compare to a true nine-turn golden pill, its medicinal effect was still miraculous for a Golden Immortal.

Li Xuan held the pill and held it before Fairy Zixia.

"Open your mouth."

Fairy Zixia knew this was absolutely a Supreme Immortal Pill just by smelling the fragrance. She instinctively wanted to refuse such a great favor, but under Li Xuan's gaze, she still opened her mouth.

The pill entered her mouth and immediately turned into a gentle medicinal power that spread through her body.

The fatal wound healed rapidly, and the eroded Immortal Yuan was also purified. In a few moments, not only were her injuries fully healed, but she even felt the cultivation Bottleneck that had stuck her for hundreds of years loosen slightly.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. Might I ask for Senior's great name?"

Fairy Zixia hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xuan.

"I am the Lord of the Heavenly Court,"

Li Xuan said.

"This place is not suitable for a long stay. Your injuries have just healed; why not follow me back to the Heavenly Court as a guest to recover in peace?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Court?

This title, which only existed in myths, caused stormy waves in Fairy Zixia's heart.

She looked up at the man before her.

Combined with the life-saving favor, she simply couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"This Junior... would be honored to accept."

Back at the Southern Heaven Gate, when Fairy Zixia saw that massive immortal gate with her own eyes, felt the powerful Luck in the Heavenly Court that far exceeded her own Holy Land, and saw the strong-auraed "ordinary Heavenly Soldiers" everywhere, the scene before her left her incredibly shocked.

Here, she also met Li Xuan's exceptionally gifted offspring and many consorts with outstanding looks and equally extraordinary cultivation.

Li Xuan took great care of her, and his meticulous attention caused Fairy Zixia to develop a good impression of him.

A few days later, Fairy Zixia took the initiative to find Li Xuan and knelt on the ground.

"Heavenly Emperor Your Majesty, this little girl has no way to repay you. I am willing to stay by Your Majesty's side and serve you, only asking... for a place to call home."

[Ding. Detected a Destined Girl (Nine Yin Mysterious Body) who meets the conditions for being a concubine. Does the host accept?]

"Granted."

Li Xuan nodded and helped her up.

As soon as he finished speaking, the long-awaited System notification finally rang out in his mind.

[Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully taking the Saintess of the Immortal Realm, 'Zixia' (Nine Yin Mysterious Body), as a concubine. The concubine's potential rating is 'Mythical Grade'. Triggered a Ten-thousand-fold Multiplier reward.]

It's here.

[Reward One: Congratulations to the host for receiving a Cultivation Infusion. The host's Realm is breaking through.]

A majestic surge of energy dissolved within his body.

His cultivation at the First Level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, which he had just entered, began to climb rapidly.

Peak of the First Level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Second Level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Third Level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

It didn't stop until his Realm broke through all the way to the Fourth Heaven of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Taking just one concubine allowed him to leap across three minor Realms; the quality of the Nine Yin Mysterious Body was indeed astonishing.

[Reward Two: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure—[Chaos Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror]]

With a thought from Li Xuan, an ancient stone mirror appeared in his hand.

One side of the mirror was pitch black, capable of devouring all things.

The other side was pure white, capable of reflecting the heavens.

Its power far exceeded that of an ordinary Innate Spirit Treasure.

[Reward Three: Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new Supreme Sign-in location—[Jade Pool].]

"Jade Pool?"

Li Xuan thought to himself; wasn't this the venue for the "Jade Pool Grand Assembly" mentioned in the invitation?

Feeling the power in his body that had surged tenfold, Li Xuan clenched his fist, and an unprecedented sense of strength arose spontaneously.

Below the Grand Unity level, he no longer had any rivals.

Whether it was the upcoming Jade Pool Grand Assembly or that hidden Fallen Immortal Palace, they were now nothing to be feared.

However, the System notification rang out again, bringing Li Xuan an even greater surprise.

[Ding. Bloodline Sensing Prompt: Your concubine 'Zixia', nourished by the host's Grandmist Chaos Bloodline and the resonance between the 'Nine Yin Mysterious Body' and the Heavenly Dao, has successfully conceived the ninth child.]
