374: Chapter 374 walkthrough in progress...
"Now I believe it. It is indeed possible that you could Cultivate in this mysterious energy environment and reach the Chaos Domain Lord Realm within one Chaos Year." The shock in Jinwu Lanxin's heart was like a raging sea, long unable to calm down.
She widened her eyes, looking at the young man surnamed Cao beside her in disbelief, as if she were seeing an unprecedented miracle.
After a long while, Jinwu Lanxin finally returned to her senses. She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm her emotions.
Then, she slowly turned her head, her gaze falling upon the young man surnamed Cao, carefully examining this youth who appeared ordinary yet exuded a powerful aura.
"Mm, as long as you believe it. Every word I said to you before was true." Cao Yang's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He did not seem surprised by Jinwu Lanxin's reaction; it was as if he had long anticipated that she would be so shocked.
Cao Yang nodded with satisfaction, then straightened his posture, looking full of confidence as he said: "Now, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Cao Yang, a person from a small place who possesses invincible strength."
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty that made people unable to help but look at him with newfound respect.
"The Chaos Emperor Realm you mentioned earlier is nothing but ants to me." Cao Yang said lightly, as if the Chaos Emperor Realm was not worth mentioning in his eyes at all.
His words revealed an absolute confidence in his own strength, a confidence that was not blind, but built upon the foundation of his truly formidable power.
"Pfft~"
Accompanied by this soft chuckle, Jinwu Lanxin's crisp, silver-bell-like laughter echoed throughout the Empress Palace.
Her laughter seemed to contain a hint of surprise and teasing, making one wonder why she was laughing like this.
"How can you be such a braggart!" Jinwu Lanxin said coquettishly, "I had just started to trust you a bit more, and in the blink of an eye, you're boasting again."
Her words revealed a sense of mockery and dissatisfaction toward Cao Yang, as if what he had just said was complete nonsense.
However, Jinwu Lanxin's laughter made people feel that she wasn't truly angry, but rather joking with Cao Yang.
Cao Yang looked at Jinwu Lanxin with a helpless expression; he really couldn't figure out what he had said wrong.
He was clearly telling the truth the whole time, yet Jinwu Lanxin always refused to believe him.
"But why does the name Cao Yang sound so familiar!" Jinwu Lanxin suddenly frowned, as if trying hard to recall something, "I just can't remember it."
Her words caught Cao Yang's attention. He thought to himself, could it be that Jinwu Lanxin had heard of his name before?
Just as he was pondering, Tian Qing, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly spoke.
"Senior, actually Young Master Cao is not exaggerating. He truly possesses invincible strength, it's just that Young Master Cao's invincible strength seems to only exist within a certain Domain." Tian Qing's voice was calm and steady, and her words gave people an undeniable feeling.
The reason Tian Qing addressed Jinwu Lanxin as Senior was simple: she was astonished to realize that she was completely unable to see through the other party's Realm!
What did this mean? It could only mean that Jinwu Lanxin's Realm had already surpassed the Chaos Cave Master Realm, and was at least one major Realm higher than her own!
Just then, Jinwu Lanxin finally cast her gaze toward the young girl in front of her.
She stared at Tian Qing and found that the other party's expression was exceptionally serious, with no intention of joking at all.
A trace of doubt couldn't help but well up in Jinwu Lanxin's heart. She turned to look at Cao Yang and confirmed: "Fellow Daoist Cao, do you really possess an Invincible Domain?"
Cao Yang's lips curled slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
He thought to himself, this Tian Qing still has some discerning eyes, knowing how formidable he is.
Thus, Cao Yang nodded without hesitation and replied: "That is exactly right. Weren't you curious earlier about how I, with my Chaos Domain Lord Realm cultivation base, was able to instantly bind you? Actually, this is all thanks to the Invincible Domain I possess."
He paused for a moment and continued: "Not to mention that your current Realm is only the High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm, even if it were an expert who has transcended Chaos, as long as they step into the range of my Invincible Domain, no matter how high their Realm or how powerful their strength, I can kill them in an instant. Because within my Invincible Domain, I am the truly invincible existence!"
"How is this possible? This is too unbelievable, right?" Jinwu Lanxin said, her face full of astonishment and disbelief. She widened her eyes, as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
Standing to the side, Tian Qing was equally shocked. Although she had some understanding of Cao Yang's strength and knew he possessed a very powerful Domain, she had never expected this Domain to be so invincible.
Previously, Tian Qing had always thought that Cao Yang calling it the "Invincible Domain" was just to give his Domain a domineering name, and she hadn't truly regarded it as invincible.
However, it now appeared that the name was not just for show; it was truly invincible in name and reality.
"Young Master Cao, is this true?" There was a trace of trembling in Tian Qing's voice; she was so shocked by this astonishing fact that she was somewhat at a loss.
Seeing this, Cao Yang's lips curled slightly, revealing a confident smile.
He said solemnly: "Of course, I am willing to swear in the name of the chaos consciousness. If there is even half a lie in what I said, I am willing to be killed by the chaos consciousness."
His words were firm and powerful, revealing an undisguised confidence and determination.
Jinwu Lanxin and Tian Qing exchanged a glance, and from each other's eyes, they saw the same shock and trust.
At this very moment, they finally believed that Cao Yang possessed a truly invincible Invincible Domain.
This fact gave them a brand new understanding of Cao Yang's strength and filled them with curiosity about him.
Just as Cao Yang finished his oath, he suddenly felt a mysterious force from the chaos consciousness attempting to lock onto him.
However, this mysterious force appeared so fragile before his powerful Divine Sense that it was easily obliterated by him at the edge of his Invincible Domain.
Cao Yang's lips curled slightly, revealing a confident smile, and then he turned his gaze toward Tian Qing, his eyes filled with anticipation and sincerity.
"How about it? Miss Tian Qing, are you willing to be my Dao Companion now?" His voice was gentle and earnest, as if containing endless sincerity.
"Follow me, and you will no longer need to Cultivate alone in the Heavenly Emperor Hall. You can be like my other Dao Companions, enjoying yourself and the pleasures of life to the fullest. And I, in turn, can allow your Realm to constantly Breakthrough, helping you ascend to even higher Peaks."
Cao Yang's words were like a clear spring, flowing into Tian Qing's heart.
She could not help but gaze at Cao Yang, moved by his sincerity.
Meanwhile, Jinwu Lanxin, standing beside Cao Yang, was completely stunned.
She widened her eyes, watching the scene before her in disbelief. This Young Master Cao had actually confessed his love to the girl named Tian Qing for the second time; this was truly beyond her expectations!
Jinwu Lanxin muttered to herself: "What did I just see? Is this something I should be seeing?"
She could not help but start letting her imagination run wild, "Could it be that Young Master Cao is so amorous toward every woman? Or is it that he has special feelings for Miss Tian Qing?"
As she thought, Jinwu Lanxin's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an inexplicable sense of nervousness surged into her heart.
She suddenly realized, would Young Master Cao confess to her in a while too? This thought made her somewhat flustered, "Oh my! What should I do?"
"I am willing, but Young Master Cao, you must first raise my Realm to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm, let me believe that you have the ability to let even a Cultivator of the Chaos Realm continue to Breakthrough in Realm." Tian Qing thought for a moment, then slowly said.
She knew very well in her heart that with her current strength, she would absolutely be unable to escape Cao Yang's control.
Since that was the case, it was better to simply let go of her concerns and enjoy everything Cao Yang could provide.
Hearing Tian Qing's words, Cao Yang hesitated slightly, but quickly nodded and agreed: "Alright, I agree."
Actually, the reason Cao Yang agreed to Tian Qing's request was mainly because he discovered that although Tian Qing had just expressed her willingness to become his Dao Companion, the System had not given any corresponding favorability prompt.
This meant that for a Chaos Realm expert like Tian Qing, relying solely on ordinary methods would likely be difficult to truly capture her heart.
Therefore, Cao Yang decided to pay some price to first satisfy Tian Qing's wish to raise her Realm.
In this way, not only could it make Tian Qing trust his abilities, but more importantly, once he successfully won over Tian Qing, he would definitely be able to obtain generous rewards from the System, which was absolutely a deal that guaranteed profit without loss.
Furthermore, there was Jinwu Lanxin watching by his side; he must let Jinwu Lanxin see the power of his methods.
Cao Yang pondered to himself, and he quickly established a connection with the System, asking eagerly: "System, are my current hongmeng sign-in counts sufficient to allow Tian Qing to Breakthrough to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm?"
"Beep beep beep..." The System's prompt sounded, followed by the crisp and pleasant voice of the System Loli: "Master, you currently have 150 years of Chaos Cultivation remaining, and only 6 hongmeng sign-in counts left. However, 1 Hongmeng Sign-in count can be exchanged for 10 years of Chaos Cultivation."
"As for Tian Qing, her current Realm is the High-level Chaos Cave Master Realm. To Breakthrough to the Elementary Chaos Domain Lord Realm, it requires a full 100 hongmeng sign-in counts or 1000 years of Chaos Cultivation. So, your hongmeng sign-in counts are still not enough."
Before the voice faded, the System Loli appeared in front of Cao Yang as if by magic.
She blinked her large, watery eyes, cutely counting on her little fingers, patiently explaining the reason to Cao Yang.
Hearing the System's words, Cao Yang couldn't help but frown.
He complained bitterly in his heart. He had previously boasted that he would definitely be able to help Tian Qing Breakthrough to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm, but now he didn't have enough resources. What should he do?
"But Master, you don't need to worry. After all, you have not yet used your first ordinary Hongmeng Sign-in opportunity in Chaos. If you use this first ordinary Hongmeng Sign-in opportunity, you might just obtain a massive amount of Chaos Cultivation!" the System Loli comforted him.
"And besides, even if the Chaos Cultivation obtained from this first ordinary Hongmeng Sign-in is not enough to let Big Sister Tian Qing Breakthrough her current Realm, you can completely continue to use the remaining five ordinary Hongmeng Sign-in opportunities," the System Loli blinked her large eyes and continued.
"Master, you must know that you are currently riding a Chaos Spaceship speeding through Chaos! If you are lucky, perhaps the spaceship will happen to pass by a Great Universe that has not yet given birth to a Chaos Realm expert, or some special Chaos land at the time you sign-in! In this way, you could sign-in and obtain unexpected rare treasures, as well as a massive amount of Chaos Cultivation!" The System Loli spoke with great excitement, as if she had already seen the scene of Cao Yang's successful sign-in.
However, just as the System Loli was tirelessly offering suggestions to Cao Yang, the people around were all like they had been hit by a immobilization spell, completely frozen at the moment the System Loli appeared.
Due to the sudden appearance of the System Loli, Cao Yang's awkward situation was perfectly covered up, and even Tian Qing and the other, Jinwu Lanxin, did not notice anything unusual about Cao Yang.
"That's not bad! System, why didn't you say so earlier." The heavy stone in Cao Yang's heart finally fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hee hee, so does Master want to sign-in now?" The System Loli let out a silver-bell-like laugh, then covered her mouth with her petite hands, asking mischievously.
Cao Yang did not hesitate and thought silently in his heart: "System, sign-in immediately."
"Beep, congratulations to Master for a successful sign-in. You have obtained one piece of Qiankun Jade, and at the same time, you have obtained 500 years of Chaos Cultivation!" The System Loli's voice was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature.
Cao Yang was overjoyed; he hadn't expected this sign-in to yield such generous rewards.
However, he did not immediately check the specific use of the Qiankun Jade, but continued to say: "System, continue to sign-in."
"Beep, congratulations to Master for a successful sign-in. You have obtained 50 years of Chaos Cultivation." The System Loli's voice sounded again.
Hearing this result, Cao Yang couldn't help but frown, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
A mere 50 years of Chaos Cultivation, compared to the previous 500 years, was simply a world of difference.
Cao Yang did not sign-in immediately this time, but waited for ten minutes before continuing: "System, sign-in one more time."
"Beep, okay Master, congratulations to Master for a successful sign-in. You have obtained 200 Chaos Cultivation!"
The System Loli's broadcast voice sounded.
"Not bad, all the Chaos Cultivation adds up to 900. sign-in and obtain 100 more, and I will have 1000."
Cao Yang nodded with satisfaction and said.
Another twenty minutes passed, and he signed-in again. This time, he obtained 150 Chaos Cultivation.
Cao Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally gathered one thousand Chaos Cultivation.
There was only one last ordinary Hongmeng Sign-in count left in the System.
