153: Five women in a group, startled again and again!

Su Yang held Crimson Phoenix, and five days passed again.

He returned once more to the mountain range where his Immortal Cave was located.

As soon as he drew near, he saw Gu Yue, Wen Yunyao, Lin Bingqing, Bai Lingxi, and An Ran sitting or pacing in the pavilion, none of them in the mood to Cultivate.

They had woken up the day after Su Yang left.

When they woke up and found Su Yang gone, although he had left a note telling them he would return soon, waking up without seeing him made them worry it would be a long time before they saw him again.

This was especially true for Gu Yue, Wen Yunyao, and Lin Bingqing, as they had just experienced such an event.

"Why are all of you so anxious? Didn't you see the note I left you?"

Su Yang passed through the mountain protection Formation and landed in front of them.

"Su Yang!" "Master!" "You're back!"

Five graceful figures surrounded him at once.

Gu Yue was still enchantingly beautiful, her eyes showing relief mixed with playful blame.

Wen Yunyao immediately rushed over and hugged his arm, pouting her lips: "Where did you run off to! You scared us to death! We thought you went off to some dangerous place again to increase your cultivation!"

Although Lin Bingqing's expression was as calm as water, the concern in her eyes was obvious.

Especially after the seven days and seven nights, her feelings for Su Yang, both spiritual and physical, had deepened sevenfold.

Her eyes could no longer hold anyone else; they were filled entirely with Su Yang.

Bai Lingxi, noble as a Sect Master, had experienced those seven days and seven nights with them, and currently, she was just as anxious about Su Yang's safety.

Seeing him return safely, a relieved curve lifted the corners of her lips.

An Ran stood gently to the side, too shy to embrace Su Yang too passionately.

Her soft gaze inspected him from head to toe, and she sighed in relief after confirming he was unharmed.

"The note I left you, didn't you read it?" Su Yang smiled.

"We read it, but we still worried about Master."

Gu Yue nestled against Su Yang, complaining playfully: "If Master is going out, he could at least tell us.

Leaving without a word and being gone for ten days—how could we not worry?"

"Exactly~~~" The women all nodded in unison.

"If I were really going far away now, I would definitely bring all of you with me."

Su Yang said with a smile.

Seeing the worried expressions on their faces touched him somewhat.

His women were indeed his women; they were truly different.

"Huh? Su Yang, who is this child? Where did you abduct her from?"

Wen Yunyao noticed the little doll-like loli Su Yang was holding and curiously reached out a hand, wanting to pinch Crimson Phoenix's cheek.

Crimson Phoenix tilted her small head, dodging Wen Yunyao's 'demonic claw.'

Her baby voice carried an arrogance that contradicted her appearance: "Impudence! Is this Empress's face something you can casually pinch?"

The women were all stunned, then amused by the little girl's overly mature tone, and simultaneously grew even more curious.

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes swirled.

After carefully sensing Crimson Phoenix, a trace of shock and uncertainty flashed through her eyes: "Master, this little girl... seems very unusual."

After all, she was a top-tier great demon who had reached the Nine-Tailed Peak.

Just by sensing the power circulating within Crimson Phoenix, she knew it was far beyond what ordinary Cultivators could compare to.

Furthermore, her self-designation as 'Empress' hinted at something extraordinary.

Gu Yue's words made the other four women look at Crimson Phoenix with even greater curiosity.

Su Yang nodded.

Since they would all be Cultivating together in the future, there was no need to hide it.

He explained: "Her name is Crimson Phoenix.

Well... according to her, she is a Female Emperor from the Upper Realm.

Due to certain reasons, she has temporarily taken this form.

Right now... she is considered half of my Nascent Soul."

"A Female Emperor from the Upper Realm?!" "Half a Nascent Soul?!"

Hearing this, all the women were dumbfounded.

They stared in disbelief at the seemingly harmless little loli in Su Yang's arms.

A Female Emperor from the Upper Realm?

The Upper Realm was nothing more than a myth to them.

Yet now, a Female Emperor from the Upper Realm had appeared before them, transformed into a child?

And she had become Su Yang's "Nascent Soul"?

The amount of information was simply overwhelming.

Crimson Phoenix rather enjoyed their shocked gazes.

She lifted her small chin slightly, looking smug.

Wen Yunyao examined Crimson Phoenix up and down, clicking her tongue in amazement: "An Empress... turned into a little squirt.

What... exactly happened?"

Crimson Phoenix's small face instantly fell.

She glared angrily at Wen Yunyao.

Just as she was about to correct the term 'little squirt,' Su Yang interrupted the potential argument, stating seriously: "In short, that's the situation.

The specific reasons are complicated.

I'll tell you slowly when we have time."

"Aren't you back now? You shouldn't be rushing to Cultivate, right?

We have plenty of time for you to tell us now."

Lin Bingqing spoke, then thought for a moment and said with a slight blush: "If it takes a long time to explain, we can sit on you and Cultivate while listening.

That way, we won't waste any time."

"Exactly, exactly." The women nodded one after another.

They were clearly very curious about this Female Emperor from the Upper Realm, and also why she was Su Yang's Nascent Soul.

Su Yang replied: "I returned this time because I plan to take you to another place to Cultivate, not to continue Cultivating here with you."

"Go to another place?" An Ran asked doubtfully, "The Spiritual Qi here is abundant, and the Formation is complete.

Why must we leave?"

Su Yang said: "The place we are going has a Spiritual Qi concentration far exceeding this place, and it is much safer.

That place is also considered a Foundation I left behind in my previous life."

"Previous life?" The women were shocked once more.

Every word Su Yang spoke upon his return contained information they found difficult to process.

What exactly was going on?!

"This is a long story.

I'll explain slowly on the way."

Su Yang wasted no time.

He flew them out of the Immortal Cave and landed at the foot of the mountain where the Immortal Cave was located.

"Are you going to package the Immortal Cave and take it with you?" Seeing his stance, Bai Lingxi immediately realized what he was about to do.

What astonished her wasn't what Su Yang was going to do, but that he had actually learned the Spell, 'A Heaven in a Handspan'!

Didn't he just look at it once in the Treasure Pavilion?

How did he actually manage to learn this extremely difficult Spell?!

Su Yang smiled without speaking.

He summoned his divine sword.

The True Essence within his body erupted, mixing with the divine sword's inherent sharpness, and he lightly slashed toward the base of the mountain peak!

"Buzz—!" A sword aura condensed to the extreme flashed and disappeared.

There was no earth-shattering boom; instead, a smooth, mirror-like cross-section appeared where the entire mountain peak connected with the earth!

Done!

Su Yang put away the divine sword.

Spiritual light glowed in his hand, and as he slightly lifted his right hand, the entire massive mountain slowly rose amid violent tremors.

The birds and beasts within the mountain scattered in fear.

Su Yang ignored them.

He formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a complex Formation rune gradually emerged at the bottom of the mountain.

When the Formation was completed, the shining Spiritual light gradually sank into the mirror-smooth base of the mountain.

Immediately afterward, the entire mountain emitted a faint Spiritual light.

A moment later, the Spiritual light gradually faded.

The Formation was complete!

Su Yang formed a hand seal with his left hand.

The entire mountain emitted another faint glow, then immediately shrunk into a palm-sized mountain that landed in Su Yang's hand.

Su Yang weighed it in his hand and nodded contentedly.

This way, he could carry his Cultivation Immortal Cave with him.

"You... you actually learned it???" Bai Lingxi's shock was fully evident on her face.

"So, all the Secret Manuals you looked at in the Treasure Pavilion, you learned every single one???"

Needless to say, the other four women were all astonished by this display from Su Yang.

Su Yang remained silent, merely raising the corner of his mouth before putting away the Immortal Cave in his hand.

The answer was already self-evident.

"This small trick is nothing.

How hard could it be for Su Yang to learn?" Crimson Phoenix casually remarked.

A small trick?

Bai Lingxi: "..."

What confidence this little loli had!

"Alright, now that the Immortal Cave is packed, let's go say our goodbyes and leave."

Saying this, Su Yang led them toward the direction of Xuanqing House.

Just as they started, they saw Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, the Three Grand Elders, flying toward them.

It seemed they had come looking for Su Yang...
