Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 403 - 238: Late-stage Golden Core (2)

Within those treasures, the auras of Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation Cultivators were plentiful, some righteous, others demonic.

"Fellow Daoists, please hear me out!"

The Sect Leader of Danyang Valley, seeing the situation was about to spiral out of control, hurriedly shouted an explanation:

"The person you’re looking for has already left! There is nothing here. I implore you all, do not act rashly and destroy the marketplace’s property..."

Unfortunately, no one was listening to his explanation.

"You old bastard, so damn noisy!"

Following a disdainful snort, a giant black hand hundreds of yards wide materialized out of thin air. It clawed down toward the inn district, instantly kicking up a furious gale that blotted out the sun and moon.

"Fellow Daoist, you’ve gone too far!"

The Danyang Valley Sect Leader’s face darkened. He was a man of status and reputation, after all. When had he ever been treated with such contempt?

With a flick of his wrist, a handkerchief-like Magical Treasure transformed into a massive cyan cloud and shot into the sky, blocking the giant, malevolent hand.

The two forces collided violently. Turbulent air currents blasted outwards, instantly filling the sky with dust and smoke. Hundreds, even thousands, of buildings collapsed, and endless cries of alarm and agony filled the air.

BOOM!

A colossal, gilded pillar over a hundred yards thick suddenly appeared. It pierced the heavens and smashed down with the force of ten thousand thunderbolts.

An earth-shattering roar thundered out. Before the Danyang Valley Sect Leader’s anguished eyes, half of the marketplace was reduced to rubble.

"Bastards! You’ve all gone too far!"

A high-ranking Elder of the Tang Family roared in anger. Danyang Valley was a vassal of the Tang Family, which meant this was Tang Family territory. The wanton recklessness of these outsiders was a direct slap in their face!

Instantly, they decided against any further forbearance. One after another, they summoned their Lifebound Magical Treasures.

In an instant, cultivators above and below were locked in a chaotic melee. The light of countless Magical Treasures and powerful Divine Techniques and Magic flared one after another, illuminating the vast, dark Celestial Vault.

In just over a dozen breaths, the massive marketplace had been reduced to nothing. The number of cultivators from all sides who were killed or injured was impossible to count.

But in the distance, even more High-Rank Cultivators were arriving in a continuous stream. Seeing that a battle had already broken out, they certainly weren’t going to stand idly by, and each one dove into the fray.

...

「Deep in the vast ocean.」

On a desolate, uninhabited island hundreds of miles across, large granite boulders littered the ground.

There were no Spirit Veins, no soil suitable for farming. The natural environment was as harsh as could be, a barren wasteland that no one cared about.

But hundreds of yards beneath the desolate island, hidden deep within layers of ancient Array Restrictions, lay a small Immortal Cave Mansion.

Inside the cave mansion, Spiritual Qi swirled like mist and flowers bloomed like brocade. Everywhere one looked, there were jade towers and magnificent palaces, corridors of coral and crystal, floors paved with gold bricks, and walls of white jade. Every detail was exquisitely beautiful.

At this very moment, deep within a lavish and magnificent bedchamber, brocade curtains hung low. A Beautiful Jade Embroidery Bed, inlaid with gold and precious gems, rested upon a nine-tiered crystal platform. A faint, exotic fragrance filled the air. Through a transparent, beaded gauze canopy, a pair of figures could be vaguely seen, nestled closely together.

On the carpet, a gorgeous palace dress and undergarments, a translucent, bright-red bodice, silk stockings, and embroidered shoes were strewn about.

On the Beautiful Jade Embroidery Bed, Qin Mengxuan opened her soul-stealing, beautiful eyes. She lightly bit her glistening, red lips and let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.

She gazed at the handsome youth still sleeping in her arms. His arm was wrapped around her smooth, firm waist, caressing it gently.

’At last, this man is finally one with me. In every sense of the word.’

Having obtained the Spiritual Mechanism Dao Rhyme from the Child of Destiny, Qin Mengxuan was confident that she could break through her shackles in the near future and advance her Cultivation.

’You... I wonder how many other women you’ll bewitch in the future?’ Qin Mengxuan thought to herself, wrapping her enchanting arms around him. Her beautiful eyes rippled with charm, filled with an affection so thick it was intoxicating.

Within Lu Hua Palace, there was no small number of disciples and Elders eagerly hoping to engage in Dual Cultivation with the Child of Destiny to break through their own cultivation limits.

Even though she, the Grand Palace Master, had won the grand prize and become his official Dao Companion, those little fox spirits would still fight tooth and nail to get their turn, consequences be damned.

’Then again, it’ll probably be too awkward for those disciples and Elders to greet each other in the future. After all, they’ll all be serving the same man.’

’Perhaps everyone will just have to keep to themselves...’

At that moment, Ling Changqing’s Divine Thought had already sunk deep into his sea of consciousness, where he was communicating with the Gong Ling.

Within his sea of consciousness, a message radiating a mysterious Dao Rhyme silently appeared:

With the increase in his Cultivation, his Lifespan had also increased, now surpassing that of an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch.
