140: Using their bodies as a seed, they will dominate for eternity.

Seven days, for cultivators, was but a flick of a finger.

Yet, in this secluded elegant room, it was like amber solidified, steeped in enchantment and mist.

Qin Wushang slowly awoke from a fragrant embrace, his consciousness returning before his five senses.

First, he felt the seductive, sweet, and complex scent lingering at his nose.

And the astonishingly soft and full sensation pressed tightly against his back.

Jiang Chengqiu's jade-like arms were still tightly wrapped around his waist like snakes, her head buried in his shoulder and neck, her warm breath caressing his ear.

The morning light, filtering through a deliberately left gap in the window lattice, formed a hazy beam, illuminating the floating dust in the air and outlining the messy brocade quilt and scattered gauze clothes on the bed.

The peerless beauty slept like a spring begonia, her exquisite body sprawled, her dark hair spread across the pillow, and faint, ambiguous red marks still visible on her snow-white skin, forming a breathtakingly beautiful and alluring painting.

Qin Wushang stirred slightly, and Jiang Chengqiu seemed to sense it, tightening her arms even more, as if reluctant to let go.

She let out a lazy groan.

"Mm~ do you want more?"

She asked.

"It's getting late, the Struggle of the Great Families is approaching, and it's time for me to leave."

Qin Wushang's voice was hoarse from just waking up, but there was no longer any hint of drowsiness.

Only then did Jiang Chengqiu open her eyes, which shimmered with water and flowed with charm, yet were equally clear.

She propped herself up slightly, the brocade quilt slipping, revealing a hint of spring scenery, but she didn't care.

Her beautiful eyes just gazed at him, her voice soft and sweet: "A true man indeed shouldn't linger in a land of tenderness for too long."

"Going out to explore and achieve something earth-shattering is the Righteous Path; these absurd days should indeed end."

She wasn't a foolish woman; she clearly understood the importance of this Struggle of the Great Families in Great Chu.

Qin Wushang belongs to the Great Chu Empire. If he doesn't participate in the Struggle of the Great Families, he won't be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm.

Qin Wushang chuckled, sitting up. There were still a few faint scratch marks on his well-defined chest.

"A land of tenderness is also a hero's grave; lust is a bone-scraping steel knife. No matter how good one's physique, it can't withstand constant scraping."

"Do you really think I'm made of iron? Even the King of Heaven wouldn't be able to endure such attrition."

"You, ah, are truly a tormenting little vixen."

Jiang Chengqiu covered her lips and chuckled softly, her eyes sweeping over him with a hint of playfulness: "This concubine didn't see much bone-scraping; on the contrary, you... your essence Qi is abundant, and your cultivation has deepened, improving significantly compared to seven days ago."

It's just..."

She changed the subject, her tone inquisitive, a bit curious.

"You seem to... have not broken through to the True God Realm? Could it be that you haven't found a satisfactory dao seed yet?"

She was extremely clear about her own Heavenly Fragrance and Charming Bones, Extreme Yin Immortal Body, and Huanhuan Secret Art!

Seven days of Dual Cultivation, with Qin Wushang's Foundation complementing her primordial yin, he should have long since condensed a True God Dao Fruit and stepped into the True God Realm.

But his aura was perfectly round and full, yet he was stuck at the Peak of Divine Fire, completely unmoving.

The only explanation was that he hadn't yet chosen the seed to carry his Great Dao, which is the so-called dao seed.

Qin Wushang said frankly: "A dao seed? There is one readily available, but it's not what my heart seeks."

"No hurry, the power is accumulated within my body; when to Breakthrough is but a thought."

"Readily available?"

Jiang Chengqiu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing through them.

"Could it be... you already possess a top-grade dao seed? And you're still not satisfied? Could it be that what you desire is the legendary... immortal grade dao seed?"

Her tone carried disbelief.

Qin Wushang picked up the scattered clothes nearby and slowly put them on: "What if what I have is an immortal grade one?"

Jiang Chengqiu's breathing hitched: "Immortal grade... and you're still not satisfied?"

She suddenly thought of a possibility, her voice changing pitch.

"Don't tell me... you're foolishly dreaming, coveting the Chaos dao seed that has never been heard of anyone succeeding with since the creation of heaven and earth?"

"Chaos dao seed?"

Qin Wushang paused in the act of tying his sash, turned his head to look at her, and a meaningful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If it really exists, it would be a good choice."

He had his own plans.

That unfinished System task, which was to participate in the Struggle of the Great Families and obtain a spot in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm!

The reward for it was the Opportunity to Using the Body as a Seed.

If there wasn't a suitable Chaos dao seed, he would embark on that even more difficult, infinitely potential path of Using the Body as a Seed.

To carry the Dao with one's own body, to dominate all ages!

An immortal grade dao seed was no longer his primary consideration.

Jiang Chengqiu stared at him blankly, and after a long while, she sighed faintly: "Indeed... what a Prodigy thinks and desires is beyond what ordinary people can fathom."

"With an immortal grade dao seed before him, he still regards it as commonplace."

If only... if only I had met you sooner."

Her tone carried a hint of imperceptible regret.

"What? Is your dao seed not good enough?"

Qin Wushang raised an eyebrow.

"emperor grade."

Jiang Chengqiu's tone was flat, yet it revealed a hint of helplessness.

"And slightly flawed."

"Compared to ordinary Prodigies, it is certainly far superior, but compared to what you seek..."

"It's like a firefly compared to a bright moon."

Her words were half-true and half-false; the emperor grade was real, and the flaw was also real, but this regret was more about the contrast with Qin Wushang's unfathomable potential and future.

She felt that this man before her would never stop at the Great Emperor Realm.

If he could truly touch the Immortal Dao, with her flawed emperor grade dao seed as a Foundation, she probably wouldn't even have the qualification to look up to him.

She wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace!

If he lived forever, she would probably grow old and lose her beauty!

Love grows over time!

Even if it was only for seven days, with the experience from her previous life, she had an unusual feeling for the Prodigy before her.

Qin Wushang, fully dressed, casually said: "A dao seed is not impossible to change."

"If you're willing, you can sever your Heavenly God Realm cultivation and return to the True God Realm to re-refine it."

Jiang Chengqiu fell into a long silence upon hearing this.

Severing one's cultivation and re-cultivating the Great Dao... how easy was that?

Not to mention the risks and pain involved, even if she succeeded in severing it, would she be able to find a better dao seed than an emperor grade one in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm?

Although legends say immortal grade dao seeds exist in the Secret Realm, what kind of Heaven-Defying Luck would that require?

She had returned through Rebirth, and the timeline was already when she was the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect. It seemed glorious, but in reality, she was constrained everywhere.

The hidden dark hand within the sect aimed to cultivate top-tier Cauldrons, not true daughters of heaven.

This flawed emperor grade dao seed was already the limit she could strive for through her secret struggles.

"Even if I sever it... I may not have such an Opportunity; such is fate."

She finally whispered, her voice tinged with a sense of powerlessness, confined by destiny.

"Immortal fate is ethereal, not something I can force."

Qin Wushang turned back at her words, his gaze lingering on her bright yet subtly melancholic face for a moment, then he suddenly said: "Since you've shared my bed, I've also accepted your primordial yin."

"If you truly wish to change, I wouldn't mind giving you this immortal grade dao seed in my possession."

"What?"

Jiang Chengqiu suddenly looked up, an incredible light bursting forth from her eyes, suspecting she had misheard.

"You... are you sure? Giving me an immortal grade dao seed? What about you? If you can't find a better one in the Secret Realm..."

"My path, I have my own measure."

Qin Wushang's tone was calm, not feeling that such words had any impact.

"How can you imagine the world of a Genius?"

He added another sentence!

Jiang Chengqiu's heart surged, watching him, her eyes flickering with light, containing surprise, hesitation!

And a complex palpitations!

Finally, the yearning for a higher Dao path overwhelmed everything. She took a deep breath: "Since you have such confidence... I am willing to sever my cultivation and re-cultivate!"

"But you must understand, once the immortal grade dao seed is refined by me, there will be no room for regret."

"You... will truly have no retreat."

She didn't want the immortal grade dao seed, but she had to have it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to keep up with Qin Wushang's pace.

She wanted to strive, to climb as high as possible!

Qin Wushang chuckled, with a hint of carefree abandon.

"Since I dared to speak, I naturally have a backup plan."

"You've... served me well these seven days, and I've been quite pleased. This item, then, is your reward."

With that, a flash of light appeared on his fingertip, and a vibrant green seedling, containing countless illusory worlds, slowly emerged in the air.

Around the seedling, countless ancient runes flickered and shone, emitting a pure and vast immortal Dao aura!

It was indeed the World Tree seedling!

"A World Tree seedling, a complete and flawless immortal grade dao seed!"

Jiang Chengqiu's breathing completely stopped!

Her beautiful eyes widened, staring intently at the seedling, as if she had seen the most incredible miracle in the world.

The World Tree!

Legend has it that it can evolve all heavens and support myriad worlds, a Chaos Spiritual Root. Even as a seedling, its value far surpasses ordinary immortal grade items!

"This item... you really want to give it to me?"

Her voice was dry and trembling.

"Take it or leave it."

Qin Wushang's tone was casual, as if what he was giving was not a rare immortal treasure, but an ordinary toy.

"I'm leaving."

He no longer lingered, pushed open the door of the elegant room, and left freely, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.

In the elegant room, only Jiang Chengqiu remained, with the World Tree seedling quietly emitting immortal light, suspended in the air.

She remained motionless for a long time, not touching the good fortune within reach!

She just looked in the direction Qin Wushang had left, her eyes extremely complex.

"Indeed... Qin Wushang, you were never a complete Devil Head."

She whispered to herself, her fingertips finally gently caressing the warm seedling, feeling the surging vitality and Dao rhythm within it.

"In the previous life, you enslaved my body."

"In this life... I, Jiang Chengqiu, will definitely make you willingly and forever bow at my feet!"

The immortal light reflected her exquisite face, her smile beautiful and still alluring.
