346: Chapter 346 Get them all over

"Since that's the case, I won't hesitate any longer. I'll simply bring them all here directly!"

Cao Yang declared resolutely.

Before the words had fully left his mouth, he gave the two women beside him no chance to ask questions, swiftly closing his eyes and beginning to slowly release his powerful Divine Sense.

In the blink of an eye, the true physical bodies of those Prodigy women, who moments before had been mere illusory images, materialized one by one within the vast, boundless expanse of Cao Yang's Divine Sense world.

At this moment, each of these women, with their graceful figures and outstanding temperaments, seemed to be firmly locked onto by Cao Yang's Divine Sense, leaving them nowhere to hide.

The two women standing beside Cao Yang watched as he suddenly closed his eyes and concentrated, seemingly using his Divine Sense to investigate something.

But they were tactful enough to remain silent, not uttering a sound to disturb Cao Yang, instead quietly sitting down on his left and right sides.

After some deep contemplation, Cao Yang ultimately made a decision: to bring this large number of women over in two batches.

Once his mind was made up, with a slight stirring of his thoughts, a portion of the Prodigy women who had existed within the scope of his Divine Sense instantly vanished from their original locations as if evaporated into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, the guardians who had accompanied the Prodigy women watched in horror as their own highly-regarded, heaven-favored daughters vanished into thin air, their faces instantly turning deathly pale.

Panic-stricken, they looked around in all directions, trying to find any trace of these women.

Their hearts burned with anxiety, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

Just then, Cao Yang calmly sent out a Divine Sense message to these guardians and attendants:

"Do not panic, everyone. I am that peerless expert who stands above the Source Emperor.

Summoning these Prodigy women away this time is merely to conduct a brief assessment of their respective Aptitudes. I bear no ill intent, so you need not worry yourselves over this."

When these guardians and attendants received this reassuring Divine Sense message from Cao Yang, their hearts, which had been stuck in their throats, finally settled back down a little, and their emotions gradually stabilized somewhat.

However, despite this, they still did not dare to relax in the slightest, their gazes fixed tightly on the spots where the women had originally been, silently praying for everything to proceed smoothly and peacefully.

At this moment, some among the crowd began to ponder privately: *That's an invincible expert who surpasses the Source Emperor. With such terrifying strength and status, he probably wouldn't harbor any malicious intentions towards the heaven-favored daughter of our Family, right?*

Others, meanwhile, clasped their hands together in front of their chests, silently beseeching their guardian deity for protection: *I hope our heaven-favored daughter has the good fortune to gain that lord's favor and be accepted as his Disciple. If that wish cannot be fulfilled, then even just being bestowed a supreme, top-grade Cultivation Technique from beyond the Source Emperor level would be wonderful!*

However, Cao Yang paid no attention whatsoever to the thoughts or actions of these guardians and attendants.

After effortlessly transferring all the heaven-favored daughters here, he swiftly retracted the powerful Divine Sense he had previously spread out to investigate the surroundings.

Before Cao Yang had even opened his eyes, a sweet, silvery voice, clear as a bell, reached his ears.

He heard many young women chattering and exclaiming:

"Ah! What kind of place is this?"

"Exactly! Why have I suddenly come to this completely unfamiliar place?"

Some even cried out anxiously, "I was clearly just at our encampment a moment ago. How could I be here in the blink of an eye?"

Faced with this sudden change, the women Cao Yang had teleported all wore expressions of panic and alarm, completely at a loss.

They opened their eyes wide, looking around, trying to find some familiar trace or clue in this unfamiliar environment, but the result only made them feel increasingly uneasy and frightened.

"Ah! Yue'er, it's actually you! Why are you here? Could it be... you're the ones who brought me here?"

One of the women looked at Zi Yue with a face full of surprise, her voice tinged with doubt and confusion.

Zi Yue gave a slight nod of affirmation, then her beautiful eyes gently turned to look at Cao Yang beside her.

Cao Yang, at this moment, had his eyes tightly shut as if in slumber, but sensing everyone's gaze focused on him, he slowly opened his eyes.

Those deep, sharp eyes swept over the chattering, noisy women before him.

He lightly raised his right hand, and an invisible force surged from his palm, dispersing like a gentle breeze.

Yet, this seemingly insignificant wisp of aura seemed to possess boundless pressure and binding power.

In an instant, the twenty-one heaven-favored daughters, who had been clamoring just moments before, became as if struck by a paralysis spell, instantly rendered immobile.

The expressions on their faces froze in shock and fear, unable to utter another sound.

Seeing this, a faint, almost imperceptible smile touched the corner of Cao Yang's mouth, and he said softly:

"Alright, quiet down, all of you. That's right. It was I who brought you here."

Hearing Cao Yang's words and sensing his heart-palpitating, powerful aura, a chill rose in the women's hearts, and their previously restless moods gradually calmed down.

At this moment, they finally realized that the man standing before them was no ordinary person. If they accidentally provoked his anger, the consequences would likely be unthinkable.

Thus, one by one, they obediently closed their mouths, not daring to act out in the slightest.

Seeing all the women fall silent, Cao Yang smiled slightly, then cleared his throat and spoke:

"Fair ladies, allow me to introduce myself first. It was I who sent people to deliver messages inviting you all to attend this unique dance.

As for my strength... well, it lies above the Source Emperor! I believe you all felt a hint of it just now?"

After speaking, Cao Yang swept his gaze around, seeing all the women nod slightly in acknowledgment of the formidable power he had just displayed.

Seeing this, Cao Yang smiled with satisfaction, then withdrew his own vast and majestic aura.

As his aura receded, the women immediately felt their bodies relax, as if shackles that had bound them for a long time had suddenly been opened, instantly restoring their freedom of movement.

For a moment, the women collectively let out sighs of relief as if a great weight had been lifted.

After all, the overwhelmingly powerful aura from just moments ago had been truly terrifying, almost suffocating them.

At this point, Cao Yang raised his right hand, displaying a ring that shimmered with a deep blue light.

He said slowly, "Look at this ring in my hand. It is called the 'tribulation avoidance ring'. Its grade is so high that it surpasses a top-grade holy artifact and can be considered a quasi-chaos tool.

If any one of you wears it, you can completely withstand the full-force attack of an expert an entire major Realm above you.

Even a Source Emperor cannot damage it in the slightest, though it can affect the wearer themselves. Therefore, having such a miraculous ring by your side would undoubtedly greatly increase your safety."

Pausing here, Cao Yang observed the expressions of astonishment and desire on the women's faces before continuing:

"Not only that, I am also willing to generously assist by bestowing upon each and every beauty present here a precious tribulation avoidance ring.

Moreover, with my ability and resources, I can help you all achieve a Breakthrough to the Chaos Realm above the Source Emperor within a mere ten thousand years.

It's even possible to go a step further, treading upon an even more profound and unfathomable path of cultivation."
