56: Chapter 56 The Changes in the Women
When Cao Yang entered the Small World, the women were chattering incessantly, discussing the strange sights and wonders they had seen over the past few days.
“Xiaoya's talent is truly powerful. She was already at the Earth Immortal Realm, yet she still had the opportunity to break through repeatedly. It's truly enviable!” Second Senior Sister Su Xuan said excitedly, her small face filled with joy and a hint of envy.
“That's right, Xiaoya's talent is simply monstrous. Breaking through Realms is as easy as turning over her hand for her!” Third Senior Sister Hua Xinyu echoed.
“Don't be envious. Xiaoya's talent isn't something ordinary people can compare to, and we've all made progress ourselves,” First Senior Sister Mu Wanying comforted everyone with a smile.
At this moment, all the women were in a very pleasant mood. After all, this sudden change had greatly improved their Realms. As for the reason behind all this, only First Senior Sister Mu Wanying knew the truth, while the others were still kept in the dark.
The one with the greatest Breakthrough was Fourth Senior Sister Fu Xiaoya. Due to her special Physique, she had reached the Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm, breaking through three major Realms in a row. Moreover, wisps of Law aura had already been born within her Inner World, and her combat power was approaching that of a half-step Golden Immortal.
Next was First Senior Sister Mu Wanying. With the help of her Revered Master, Luo Shenyu, and the influx of pure Chaos Power from the chaos star root, she had also broken through to the Early Stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.
Second Senior Sister Su Xuan, Third Senior Sister Hua Xinyu, Fifth Senior Sister Xiao Lingxue, the Fox Clan Old Ancestor Hu Shan Tutu, and Liu Caiyi and her daughter had all broken through to the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm.
As for Cao Yang's nine maidservants, they had broken through to the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. They were originally Golden Immortals with a high understanding of Laws, so breaking through to the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm was quite easy. Had they not been Puppets without the Luck of this Universe, they might have broken through another minor Realm.
Although they were Puppets, they possessed Divine Souls and true spirits, so they could also Cultivate and improve their Realms on their own. However, in the future, even if they transcended the Great Universe, they would never be able to transcend Cao Yang.
Now, among the women, only Revered Master Ouyang Liuli was at the Early Stage of the True Immortal Realm, because she only had an Advanced Spirit Body and did not possess an Immortal Body.
Seeing that several of her Disciples had broken through to the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm, and two others whose Realms she couldn't even perceive, she felt a bit strange despite her happiness. After all, as their teacher, she had been surpassed by her Disciples by so much.
However, she felt more relief and pride than anything else.
Watching them all become powerful, having seen them grow from weak, green, and naive to mature and strong over the years, her heart was filled with emotion.
“You all have truly made me see you in a new light!” Ouyang Liuli said with a smile.
“Our Breakthroughs are inseparable from Revered Master's previous careful guidance,” several of the girls said gratefully.
“Haha, don't be modest. I know this is all because of your own Heaven-Defying Aptitude,” Ouyang Liuli said with a smile.
“Also, don't call me Revered Master anymore. Let's address each other as sisters.”
The girls did not refuse. After all, since almost everyone was now their Junior Brother's Dao Companion, addressing each other as sisters was more appropriate.
Just then, two figures flew rapidly from a distance; it was Cao Yang and Xu Xinyue. The women all turned their gazes toward them, their faces showing joy.
Cao Yang smiled and greeted the women, then briefly recounted what had happened over the past few days.
When the women learned that their Breakthroughs were entirely due to Cao Yang, they couldn't help but feel a sense of Luck. At the same time, they were incredibly surprised and admired Cao Yang for successfully breaking through to the Immortal King Realm. Their faces beamed with joy.
“Currently, the concentration of Immortal Qi in the Small World is no longer as high as the outside world. Although many plants and animals have gained spirituality under the influence of the Law aura, not many have truly gained wisdom. Therefore, this place is not suitable for long-term residence,” Cao Yang said to the women, hoping to bring them outside to live.
The women nodded one after another, agreeing with Cao Yang's view.
Xu Xinyue then began to introduce the situation of the Immortal Realm to the women.
However, the information she knew was limited. She only knew about the thousand or so small towns under the jurisdiction of Black City, and she hadn't personally visited many places.
As for what powerful forces existed above Black City, she did not know either.
“Cao Lang, are we going to settle in Giant Stone City then?” Ouyang Liuli looked at Cao Yang with some anticipation, her eyes sparkling. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like heavenly music, making one feel a sense of pity and affection.
The other women also turned to look at Cao Yang, their eyes filled with curiosity and expectation.
These women each had their own style; some were graceful and moving, some were bold and unrestrained, some were delicate and lovely, and each one radiated a charming allure.
Cao Yang thought for a moment and then slowly spoke, “Well, let's settle down in Giant Stone City for the time being. Although we might be able to occupy better territory, I've already observed the surrounding environment. The regions near Giant Stone City are either already occupied by other forces or are desolate sandy lands. For us who have just arrived in the Immortal Realm, this place is considered relatively good.”
His tone was firm yet gentle, revealing a sense of steadiness and maturity.
The women all expressed their agreement after hearing this.
Thus, they followed Cao Yang and embarked on the journey to Giant Stone City.
Soon, they arrived at Giant Stone City. The city was magnificent, with city walls towering into the clouds, giving off a solemn and majestic feeling. When they walked through the city gates, they immediately caught the attention of many Cultivators in the city.
The beautiful faces of the women were like a brilliant and colorful painting, attracting countless gazes.
However, Ouyang Liuli noticed those ill-intentioned stares. She frowned slightly and released her powerful aura of the True Immortal Realm. This aura was like a cold wind, instantly making the Cultivators in the city feel a chill. They withdrew their gazes in fear, not daring to look again.
Cao Yang smiled slightly; he wasn't surprised by Ouyang Liuli's actions. He could have brought the women back to Giant Stone City in an instant, but they wanted to fly back slowly to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Ouyang Liuli's actions also drew the attention of City Lord Xu Buli. Originally, upon seeing so many True Immortals, he almost ran back to the City Lord's Mansion, but then he saw his daughter among them, and that she had even broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm.
Xu Xinyue saw her father standing dazed in the street and quickly ran over to explain. Upon hearing that Cao Yang had broken through to the Immortal King Realm...
He rushed over, knelt on the ground, and shouted, “This lowly immortal, City Lord Xu Buli of Giant Stone City, pays respects to the Immortal King giant. I welcome the Immortal King giant to deign to visit my humble city...”
Xu Buli's actions stunned Xu Xinyue. Cao Yang quickly used his hand to virtually support and lift Xu Buli. Before he could finish, Cao Yang said, “Uncle, there's no need for such formality. Although I have broken through to the Immortal King Realm, I don't care for those tedious etiquettes.”
Once Xu Buli heard his daughter say Cao Yang had broken through to the Immortal King, he believed it, because he had once seen the Heavenly Tribulation of an Immortal Lord's Breakthrough from afar, so the previous Lightning Tribulation must have been Cao Yang's Breakthrough to Immortal King.
Cao Yang led the women forward along with City Lord Xu Buli, secretly pondering his future plans. In this mysterious and dangerous Immortal Realm, they still had a long way to go...
