406: Chapter 406 Dealing with the Golden Crow Princess

"Xiao You, Ninger, and I are truly in love. Does your Golden Crow Clan even interfere in such consensual matters?"

"Or do you think a dignified Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse like me is not good enough for a woman of your Golden Crow Clan?" Cao Yang's expression suddenly became extremely unsightly as he widened his eyes and asked with a look of hostility.

Fifth Ancestor Jinwu Ji's face was as dark as still water, and her cold voice seemed capable of freezing the surrounding air. "Hmph, wasn't it enough that Lan Xin was already betrothed to you? Do you know that once a woman of our Golden Crow Clan marries out, her own Chaos Fortune will drain away like a bursting flood, continuously flowing until it is entirely lost?"

"Without the nourishment and blessing of Chaos Fortune, their path of cultivation becomes like a river with its source cut off, nearly coming to a dead end."

"And your behavior of unscrupulously seducing the women of my Golden Crow Clan will not only ruin their cultivation prospects but also lead to a gap in the powerhouses of my Golden Crow Clan, and even a generational gap!"

"With such serious consequences, do you think our Golden Crow Clan should interfere or not?"

Jinwu Lanxin also gradually calmed down at this time. She thought to herself that it was absolutely impossible for Cao Yang to be a Transcendence Realm powerhouse.

Because Transcendence Realm powerhouses have already transcended the shackles of Chaos; it is impossible for them to remain within Chaos.

Otherwise, their cultivation base would stagnate, which is simply unacceptable for a Transcendence Realm powerhouse pursuing the supreme Dao.

Not only that, she knew well that human nature is often greedy and lustful.

Once they possessed the strength of the Transcendence Realm, they would surely dominate a region in the Chaos World and act willfully.

For things they set their sights on, they would inevitably use any means necessary to seize them by force. How could they possibly talk to her so calmly?

However, Cao Yang retorted dismissively, "What you say has a sliver of truth, but it's not entirely correct. You should know that as long as they become my Dao Companion, their Chaos Fortune will not be completely lost as you claim."

"Not only that, I also have a unique method to help them Breakthrough to higher Realms. Even the Transcendence Realm is just a piece of cake."

"This way, their path of cultivation naturally won't be cut off, and the powerhouses of your Golden Crow Clan won't have a gap; in fact, their numbers might even increase. As for the issue of passing down the lineage, you can just have those married Golden Crows of the older generation work harder and have a few more descendants. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Facing Cao Yang's remarks, Jinwu Ji couldn't help but sneer and mocked, "Hmph, you are talking utter nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that their cultivation path won't be interrupted?"

"Also, you are so arrogant as to boast about letting them Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm. You should Breakthrough yourself first! It's simply a pipe dream!"

She had never seen such an arrogant person, who claimed to have a way to make others Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm when he hadn't even reached it himself.

Their Golden Crow Clan had been passed down since the beginning of Chaos and had gone through countless ages. Yet, even so, only three ancestors had successfully broken through to the Transcendence Realm.

She herself had gone through long ages, but she had never witnessed anyone in the Chaos Emperor Realm being able to Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm within Chaos.

Because of this, most Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouses now believe that transcending Chaos can perhaps only be achieved by an Innate person, while descendants like them, who are far removed from being Innate, have likely long lost the conditions to transcend Chaos.

"You want to see proof? That's fine, but how about we make a bet? Do you have the guts?" The corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled up, revealing a confident smile.

"A bet? Why wouldn't I dare?" Jinwu Ji showed a look of disdain and chuckled, "Without the blessing of Chaos Fortune, wanting to Breakthrough to the Chaos Domain Lord Realm is harder than reaching the heavens."

Indeed, even if the two women only had a small amount of Chaos Fortune left, their strength had reached the Chaos Domain Lord Realm or above, and raising the cultivation base of such powerhouses was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Jinwu Ji knew this well, so she found it truly hard to believe that Cao Yang actually had the ability to take their cultivation base to the next level.

Especially Jinwu Ninger, who was already a High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm powerhouse, only one step away from the Chaos Supreme Realm.

However, to successfully Breakthrough this major Realm, the amount of Chaos Fortune required was undoubtedly massive, definitely not something a mere small amount of Chaos Fortune could satisfy.

Just as Jinwu Ji was feeling suspicious, Cao Yang suddenly spoke up, "Fine, since that's the case, then it's a deal. As long as I can immediately make Ninger Breakthrough to the Chaos Supreme Realm, you will willingly become my Dao Companion."

"Conversely, if I cannot do it, I am willing to cut down one major Realm of my own, dropping to the Chaos Supreme Realm, and then immediately leave the Golden Crow Clan, never setting foot in the Golden Crow Clan again. I wonder if you have the courage to bet with me?"

Cao Yang felt a secret surge of joy; he had been waiting for Jinwu Ji to say exactly that. She had finally fallen into the trap he had meticulously laid out, just as he had hoped!

"You scoundrel, you shameless rogue! To think you still harbor such improper intentions toward this Ancestor—your audacity knows no bounds! Are you not afraid that my Golden Crow Clan will suppress you here, ensuring you never find salvation for all eternity?"

Jinwu Ji's anger erupted like a volcano, and her voice echoed through Jinwu City, carrying endless fury and majesty.

In Chaos, no one had ever dared to say such things to Jinwu Ji so boldly.

Those who once had improper thoughts about her had long since had their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, leaving not even a trace behind.

However, facing Jinwu Ji's anger, Cao Yang showed no fear at all.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a disdainful smile as he mocked, "Just say whether you dare to bet or not. Does the Fifth Ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, a prestigious Innate Chaos Race, have only this much mettle?"

The reason Cao Yang was so bold was that he had previously conducted an in-depth observation and analysis of Jinwu Ji.

He noticed that although Jinwu Ji's words and actions appeared strong and confident, certain details revealed that she was relatively simple-minded.

This kind of queen-type woman often has a strong sense of self-esteem and a desire for control, but at the same time, she is easily exploited and manipulated.

Cao Yang knew this well, so he believed that as long as he skillfully designed a trap, he could easily make Jinwu Ji fall into it.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Jinwu Ji held her head high, revealing a confident smile. "But it's a deal: you cannot let Ninger's Foundation be damaged, and you must also guarantee that Ninger can successfully cross the Chaos Supreme Tribulation; otherwise, you lose!"

Although Jinwu Ji was a bit hesitant, her pride would not allow her to show weakness in front of Cao Yang.

She gritted her teeth and, steeling her heart, decided to agree to Cao Yang's terms.

Jinwu Ji's eyes flashed with a hint of resolve; she believed that if even the First Ancestor of their Golden Crow Clan could not achieve it, how could a mere human male like Cao Yang possibly succeed?

She was full of confidence in her own and the Golden Crow Clan's strength and abilities, not believing that Cao Yang could truly accomplish such a seemingly impossible feat.

However, she did not know that Cao Yang was already fully prepared, and a meticulously planned scheme was waiting for her.
