160: Chapter 160: Level 6 Shop Restrictions Lifted!
Empress Yanming Xia Xuanji's delicate brows furrowed tightly as the three words she heard before the xingyan fate plate shattered echoed continuously in her mind.
"[Hehuan Sect]... [Hehuan Sect]..."
Xia Xuanji searched frantically through her vast memories accumulated over tens of thousands of years, but no matter how she recalled, among the well-known or even the hidden ancient Sects in the Spirit Realm, there was absolutely none with this name!
"Could it be some newly established nameless small Sect?"
Xia Xuanji stroked her snowy-white chin, a thick trace of doubt flashing in her eyes:
"But how could a dilapidated, nameless small Sect be targeted by that arrogant bitch Chu Lingyue? She even went as far as dragging her Personal Disciple along to throw herself at them?"
When things are abnormal, there must be something fishy!
In this Hehuan Sect, whose name she had never even heard of, there must be a world-shaking great fortune hidden!
"No! I need to quickly deduce the location of this Sect!"
Xia Xuanji impatiently formed hand seals, preparing to cast a Supreme Heavenly Secret Technique to force a location. However, as soon as her Spiritual Qi circulated, her gaze fell upon the dim xingyan fate plate in front of her, which now had a deep crack on its surface.
"Pfft..." Xia Xuanji felt a tightness in her chest and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
Only then did she miserably remember that her Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, extremely rare even in the entire Spirit Realm, had just been shattered from a distance by "that wretched bitch Chu Lingyue" (who was taking the fall for the System)!
This was a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure!
The amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures required to repair it would definitely be an astronomical figure!
The current xingyan fate plate couldn't even withstand the most basic deduction involving a top-tier powerhouse!
"Damn you, Chu Lingyue! Just you wait!" Xia Xuanji stamped her feet in anger, but then she had another thought.
This kind of Heaven-Defying Opportunity that could allow one to break through the Late Stage Body Integration Bottleneck or even improve a Mahayana Stage cultivation would definitely attract the attention of those other old monsters if she made a grand search for the "Hehuan Sect" throughout the Spirit Realm.
When the time came, there would be too many wolves and too little meat; she wouldn't even get a sip of the soup.
"I absolutely cannot let anyone else know about such a massive fortune!"
Xia Xuanji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety and fanaticism in her heart, and made a decision:
"The only way now is to first announce a secluded meditation and repair the [xingyan fate plate] as quickly as possible!
Once the fate plate is fixed, I will immediately deduce the specific coordinates of the Hehuan Sect. At that time, I must go and investigate personally!"
Having made up her mind, Empress Yanming Xia Xuanji immediately began her secluded meditation, starting the miserable process of "repairing her gear"...
...
The scene shifts back to the Southwest Wilderness, tens of millions of miles away.
Inside the Hehuan Sect, on that wide and luxurious warm jade couch.
At this moment, Jiang Yutang's entire body was emitting an extremely pure Ice Phoenix spiritual light.
Under the dual nourishment of that Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique, the "Mystic Ice Divine Phoenix Nirvana Dao Scripture," and Wang Yang's Heavenly Spiritual Root fortune, she finally underwent a complete transformation!
Boom—!
A powerful pressure of the eighth level of the Body Integration Stage flashed momentarily within the courtyard, then was perfectly contained by the Mystic Grade Domain, without a single trace leaking out.
At the same instant Jiang Yutang made her Breakthrough, a series of long-awaited golden System notification sounds flashed frantically in Wang Yang's mind!
[Ding! Detected that the new Disciple (Dao Companion) Jiang Yutang has successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Body Integration Stage during her first immortal cultivation tutoring session!]
[Ding! It is determined that the host has completed the "Spirit Realm Dao Companion Interaction" achievement for the first time!]
[Congratulations to the host! The LV5 max-level mall restriction has been officially lifted!]
Hearing this notification, Wang Yang felt a slight joy in his heart.
Since his Ascension to the Spirit Realm, he had long discovered that the items in the LV5 mall, which were once considered invincible in the Human Realm, were basically useless to him now.
After all, Wang Yang and the Dao Companions, Disciples, and maids in the Sect were all above the Void Refinement Stage.
Now that the mall restriction was lifted, it meant that higher-level cheats were finally going to be available!
[Ding! Calculating the current progress of the System mall upgrade to LV6...]
[Detected that the current number of Dao Companions successfully bound by the host is: 12 / 15! ]
[(Note: Although Ji Wushuang has the status of an exclusive maid, she has completed deep Dual Cultivation interaction with the host, and the System determines that she enjoys the same upgrade weight as a Dao Companion!)]
[Ding! The LV6 mall upgrade restriction has been unlocked! Host, please keep up the good work and gather 15 top-tier Dao Companions to completely unlock the LV6 Spirit Realm mall!]
Before Wang Yang could finish processing the mall's upgrade progress, the System's next wave of rewards came crashing down.
[Ding! Detected that the host's Disciple (Dao Companion) Jiang Yutang's cultivation has increased!]
[Triggered the Spirit Realm Domain upgrade rule: For every level Breakthrough in the Body Integration Stage, increase by 1,000 kilometers!]
[The host's Invincible Domain has begun to expand again! Domain radius increased by: 1,000 kilometers!]
[Current total coverage radius of the Mystic Grade Invincible Domain: 8,013 kilometers!!!]
Rumble—!!!
In Wang Yang's Divine Sense perception, that absolutely invincible Law barrier crazily expanded outward again!
Completely turning the vast expanse of land within a radius of over eight thousand kilometers into Wang Yang's backyard under absolute control!
However...
Facing these continuous Heaven-Defying rewards in his mind, Grandmaster Wang didn't even blink. With a thought, he forcibly "muted" the System's notification sounds!
No matter how generous the rewards or how vast the Domain, could they compare to the fragrance of the beauty before him?
"Revered Master... your Disciple, your Disciple has really broken through..."
Jiang Yutang felt the earth-shaking power within her body, her eyes brimming with tears of excitement as she looked at the man before her with a face full of blushes.
"My dear Disciple, this is just the beginning."
Wang Yang didn't pay any attention to the System's noise. Instead, he gently pulled Jiang Yutang into his arms, then glanced at the nearby Clone of Chu Lingyue, whose face was also like a peach blossom. A doting, mischievous smile curled on his lips:
"The path of cultivation lies in perseverance. Lingyue, Yutang, you 'sisters' have extremely high talent. Tonight, your husband... must properly assist you in completely consolidating this Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique!"
Deep in the hall, Formations circulated on the warm jade couch, isolating it from all outside prying eyes.
The foundation of Wang Yang's Heavenly Spiritual Root, as hot as a blazing sun, was released without reservation, overbearingly yet gently guiding the newly condensed Ice Phoenix Origin within Jiang Yutang's body.
Extreme cold ice and pure fire merged without hindrance in the Meridians, and the power of Yin and Yang creation transformed into visible ripples of pink Spiritual Qi, undulating between the wide curtains.
On Jiang Yutang's skin, which was as cold as snow, a layer of fine, crystalline sweat had already formed.
As her breathing gradually quickened, she trembled slightly like a delicate lotus blooming in the wind.
Whenever her Cultivation Technique reached a difficult point, the nearby Chu Lingyue would tacitly press closer, using her own homologous Ice Phoenix aura to provide the most in-depth demonstration and guidance.
Several ethereal and melodious cries, accompanied by rapid panting, were like the most beautiful Dao immortal music in the world, interweaving and rising and falling within the red silk curtains.
In a daze, two illusory ice-blue Divine Phoenix phantoms seemed to condense in mid-air. They circled and danced but were firmly coiled and enveloped by an overbearing golden Dragon phantom, emitting bursts of high-pitched yet lazy chirps that lasted for a long time...
Within the spring-filled Hehuan Sect, the turbulence of the outside Spirit Realm seemed to lose its color.
And Grandmaster Wang continued to tirelessly serve as a diligent and responsible immortal cultivation tutor, sharing everything he knew.
