287: The First Beauty Cave in the Spirit Realm

"Hmm?!"

"Could there be a connection between these two?"

Cao Bu withdrew his finger with an indifferent expression, his gaze calmly turning to the side of the great hall.

There, a beautiful woman dressed in golden palace attire with an elegant and noble temperament was holding a young girl in a goose-yellow dress with exquisite, peerless features tightly in her arms.

Both of their faces were pale, their beautiful eyes filled with endless fear and despair, and their delicate bodies were trembling violently.

They were none other than the mother and daughter, Yao Yao and Jin Feier.

"Great Emperor Jin Yan broke his word and has already been executed."

Cao Bu's voice remained calm: "My agreement with him remains valid. The two of you, come with me."

Looking at the empty throne and then at the unfathomable Mr. Cao, Yao Yao and Jin Feier lost even the courage to cry or beg.

Even their father, with his Vajra Immortal Body, had been wiped out with a single finger; what could they possibly do?

Under the gaze of countless people who were too terrified to make a sound, Cao Bu waved his sleeve, and a gentle force swept up the stunning mother and daughter. Their figures rippled for a moment before disappearing completely.

Not long after, the Spirit Realm was thoroughly shaken!

"A True Immortal killed with a single finger?! Is this person comparable to Clan Chief Cao?!"

"Who is that mysterious person? Mr. Cao? Why have we never heard of him before?!"

For a time, speculations about this mysterious Mr. Cao flew everywhere, but no one knew his true identity. They only knew that his strength was unimaginably terrifying and that he seemed to have a special interest in the ten beauties of the spirit realm.

Not long after, another Great Emperor who met the criteria—Great Emperor of Ice, Bing Wuya—took the initiative to seek him out.

Bing Wuya had been stuck at the Great Emperor Fourth Level for a long time, with less than a hundred years of Lifespan remaining.

His wife, Empress of Cold Moon Bing Qing, and his daughter, Bing Xuan, were peerless beauties of the world who had once been ranked among the ten beauties of the spirit realm in two different generations.

Upon hearing about Great Emperor Jin Yan, he was shocked, but he also saw hope.

He brought his wife and daughter to find Cao Bu, expressing his desire to make a trade.

Cao Bu gave him a hundred-day ascension pill as well.

After verifying it, Bing Wuya was overjoyed and immediately went into seclusion.

One hundred days later, an Immortal Tribulation descended over the Ice Emperor Palace as well!

Bing Wuya went through the difficult process of Undergoing Tribulation and became a True Immortal!

When he broke out of seclusion and felt the surging Immortal power within his body, his mood was incredibly complex.

He recalled the fate of Great Emperor Jin Yan.

"That idiot Jin Yan thought he could break his word just because he achieved Immortal Ascension, not knowing that Mr. Cao's strength is unfathomable and likely far surpasses that of a True Immortal." Bing Wuya felt a chill in his heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately summoned his wife and daughter.

Bing Qing and Bing Xuan were initially ecstatic to see that Bing Wuya had truly achieved Immortal Ascension, but they were struck like lightning upon hearing what he said next.

"Qing'er, Xuan'er, my ability to achieve Immortal Ascension is entirely due to Mr. Cao's Immortal Pill. The deal has been made, and I have promised the two of you to Mr. Cao."

"What?!" Bing Qing's face turned deathly pale as she looked at her husband in disbelief: "Husband, did you sell us, mother and daughter?"

Bing Xuan's body swayed as if she were about to collapse, her beautiful eyes filled with tears: "Father! How could you do this!"

A look of shame appeared on Bing Wuya's face, but his tone was firm: "Xuan'er, Father is about to undergo Ascension, and Mr. Cao's strength is mystical; it is far beyond what we can fathom."

"Following him may not necessarily be a bad thing for you."

"It is better than ending up like Jin Yan—dead, with his wife and daughter falling into someone else's hands anyway."

"Father is also thinking of your long-term future."

With earnest advice, half-persuading and half-forcing, he finally delivered his heartbroken and tearful wife and daughter to Cao Bu.

Cao Bu didn't say much and accepted the stunning mother and daughter with their cold and elegant temperament.

The news that Bing Wuya had kept his promise after achieving Immortal Ascension and voluntarily handed over his wife and daughter caused a sensation in the Spirit Realm once again!

"Bing Wuya has achieved Immortal Ascension! It was also one hundred days!"

"He really gave his wife and daughter to Mr. Cao!"

"That Medicinal Pill is actually real! It can allow a Great Emperor to achieve Immortal Ascension in one hundred days!"

"Bing Wuya is smart, unlike the foolish Jin Yan."

Now, those Great Emperors who were desperate to achieve Immortal Ascension went completely crazy!

The hundred-day ascension pill! It really exists!

And that mysterious Mr. Cao is truly willing to trade it!

The price is simply someone who has appeared on the list of the ten beauties of the spirit realm, from any generation.

Although this price was hard to accept, for those Great Emperors whose Lifespan was running out or who had wasted countless years in the Emperor Realm, compared to the ethereal path of immortality, their wives, daughters, and family didn't seem impossible to sacrifice.

Especially since there was the successful and safe example of Bing Wuya beforehand!

Over the next eight years, one Great Emperor after another tried every possible method through various channels to contact Cao Bu.

They either brought their stunning wives and daughters, or their beautiful sisters. There was even a Great Emperor whose mother had been a peerless beauty one hundred thousand years ago; although she was older, due to her profound cultivation and well-maintained appearance, she still possessed charm, so he gritted his teeth and brought her along.

Cao Bu met with every Great Emperor and offered the same condition: offer the designated beauty, and you will receive a hundred-day ascension pill.

Verify the Medicinal Pill, go into seclusion for one hundred days, and undergo Undergoing Tribulation to achieve Immortal Ascension.

Then, those who kept their promise, like Bing Wuya, would ascend safely, and their wives and daughters would belong to Cao Bu.

During this time, there were one or two who, like Great Emperor Jin Yan, had their confidence inflate after achieving Immortal Ascension and wanted to renege on the deal or act against Cao Bu. Without exception, they were easily crushed to death by Cao Bu, and the women they brought naturally belonged to Cao Bu as well.

Iron-fisted methods and temptation coexisted.

Gradually, the Spirit Realm reached a consensus.

When trading with Mr. Cao, one must abide by the agreement! Otherwise, even a True Immortal is like an ant!

The miraculous effect of the hundred-day ascension pill was also verified time and time again.

In those eight years, one after another, nearly one hundred Great Emperors exchanged for the Immortal Pill from Cao Bu through this method and successfully achieved Ascension!

Now in the Spirit Realm, excluding those Lu Chen killed previously, there were fewer than twenty Great Emperors left.

These people wanted to find Cao Bu, but since Cao Bu's Medicinal Pills were exhausted, he had to stop this matter.

The size of Cao Bu's harem expanded rapidly as a result.

Inside the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, there were beautiful women everywhere, like clouds of peerless beauties, making it the number one beauty den of the Spirit Realm.

Furthermore, most of these women originally had noble statuses; they were either wives and daughters of Great Emperors, or sisters and mothers of Great Emperors, all possessing top-tier temperament and appearance.

Cao Bu was also very good at management. With Su Li and Liu Ruyan helping to manage things, combined with his own strength and methods, he kept this massive harem in perfect order.

Although the women had their own thoughts, under his absolute authority and the protection of reality, they gradually settled down.

Ten years passed quietly.

The name Mr. Cao became famous throughout the Spirit Realm.

No one knew where he came from, and no one knew his true cultivation level. They only knew that he possessed a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill that could allow a Great Emperor to achieve Immortal Ascension in one hundred days, and his strength was unfathomable, likely far surpassing that of a True Immortal.

He had almost become the "Immortal-Bestowing Elder" in the eyes of those Great Emperors who longed for Immortal Ascension and were willing to pay the price, and he had also become the Dominator of the destinies of many peerless beauties in the Spirit Realm.

Over the ten years, Fang Qianqian had come of age. Cao Bu had fulfilled his wish to take this daughter of Reincarnation for himself, and she had given birth to a son.

Cao Bu's cultivation had long since reached a critical point, almost to the extent that he could no longer suppress it.

If not for the sake of expanding the Cao family, he would have achieved Ascension fifteen years ago.

With his help, all of his women had achieved the rank of Great Emperor.

Several of them, such as Su Li and Liu Ruyan, had even reached the Great Emperor Peak and were currently suppressing their cultivation.

And all of his children had been born.
