The Hehuan Sect Was Squeezed Dry for Ten Thousand Years, but It Became a Sacred Ground?-Chapter 77

Chapter 77

The battle reached its final chapter.

Surrounded by four women who were all talk but no action, Ning Chen felt both speechless and puzzled. “Why did you all come together today?” he asked.

Such a scene of all four women together usually only happened on the day they celebrated the reforms of the Qinglian Sect. Each of them had a strong, independent personality. Although they shared a bond as fellow disciples, they were not particularly close. Only Yu Hua and Zhou Qin shared some camaraderie from their early days, but even they rarely went out together. It was only when they happened to cross paths and neither side was willing to back down that they ended up flying together.

Duanmu Yao, who was the second to last to collapse, was the first to recover her strength. Hearing Ning Chen’s question, she shook her head and said, “The dynasty suddenly notified us that a spatial rift was about to open. Tomorrow, we’ll all head out to suppress the demons.”

“That’s why I hurried over to see you, Father. Who would have thought these shameless women would insist on tagging along?” Duanmu Yao added, pouting in dissatisfaction. After being assimilated by the bloodline, her personality had become more childish and expressive.

“I see,” Ning Chen nodded.

No wonder they all came.

It had been the same during the last outing.

But if that was the case, the number still didn’t add up.

“Where’s Liu Ruoyan?” Ning Chen asked bluntly.

“Master said they’re going for the afternoon session,” came the reply.

Ning Chen: “...”

Was this an amusement park? Were there day passes and night passes?

It seemed that woman still needed to be taught a lesson.

Shaking off his scattered thoughts, Ning Chen turned his attention back to the four women.

Going out to fight demons?

Come to think of it, he hadn’t paid much attention to their strength over the past few years.

He wondered if they’d be able to handle it.

With a thought, he checked their status.

[Duanmu Yao].

Identity: ...

Age: 25

Cultivation: Core Formation Level 1 (False), Nascent Soul Level 1 (True)

Talent 1: The More You Fight, the Stronger You Become

Talent 2: Unparalleled Physical Refinement

Physique: Twelve-Clawed Golden Dragon Battle Body (Juvenile)

Divine Abilities: None

Appearance: 99

Twenty-five years old, but with the body of an eight or nine-year-old.

And it might stay that way forever.

What kind of innate loli saint physique was this?

As for her cultivation, Ning Chen was somewhat surprised.

Her true cultivation had already reached Nascent Soul?

Not bad.

As for hiding her cultivation, Ning Chen understood.

After all, Duanmu Yao’s identity was somewhat special.

Even if her strength was not inferior to others, she couldn’t fully reveal it.

...

Ning Chen shifted his gaze to the green-robed woman beside him, her clothes half-removed.

[Zhou Qin].

Identity: ...

Age: 26

Cultivation: Core Formation Level 8 (False), Nascent Soul Level 3 (True)

Talent 1: Innate Alchemy Soul

Talent 2: Indomitable Spirit

Physique: Supreme Immortal Vein Spirit Body

Divine Abilities: None

Special Items: None

Appearance: 98

Huh?

This one was also at Nascent Soul? And at the third level?

As expected of a woman with both the Supreme Immortal Vein Spirit Body and a divine-level dantian aptitude. She cultivated at an astonishing speed.

And this was just the level she’d reached while focusing on improving her alchemy skills. Otherwise, she would have progressed even faster.

As for the Yimu Qing Emperor Cauldron, it naturally became unbound after Ji Zhiqing’s transformation. But the improved aptitude it granted still remained.

It was safe to say that Zhou Qin was now one of the fastest cultivators in this world.

As for combat power, she could simply crush her opponents with her cultivation level.

...

Ning Chen turned to look at the quiet woman who had dozed off from exhaustion.

He reached out, manipulating the universe, waves gently rising.

His index finger drew a red circle clockwise.

Within seconds, a small crack opened in the sealed soil.

Ning Chen’s quick reflexes allowed him to catch the shy Dou Yu, who was peeking out, red-handed.

He always enjoyed doing this.

It was a fun way to pass the time.

He loved playing like this. Whenever Yu Hua stayed overnight, he usually wrapped his arms around her from behind, gently pinching her to prevent her from retreating.

This concave style looked much more provocative than the regular version.

“Mmm...”

Yu Hua frowned and let out a soft moan.

She had woken up the moment she was touched, but knowing who it was, she allowed him to continue.

After being conquered for over nine years, even the pride of a Great Ascension cultivator had long since been molded into Ning Chen’s shape. She was utterly addicted.

Sometimes, Yu Hua even felt grateful for her fall. Otherwise, she might have remained a virgin forever.

Thinking back to her previous life, she had worked hard, trained diligently, and ventured out to gain experience, slowly making a name for herself until she became a powerhouse in this world. The hardships she endured were something no one else could truly understand.

But now...

She could just lie down and improve.

Not only was it simple and enjoyable, but the speed was also unmatched.

She had genuinely come to like it.

[Yu Hua].

Identity: ...

Age: 27

Cultivation: Core Formation Perfection (False), Nascent Soul Level 3 (True)

Talent 1: Soul of Past Lives

Talent 2: Learn by Analogy

Physique: Primordial Void Spirit Body

Divine Abilities: Thoughts Carry Eternity

Special Items: Divine Scripture of the Heavens (Complete)

Appearance: 98

Huh...

Ning Chen twitched his mouth.

So they were all playing the game of hiding their cultivation, huh?

Playing the pig to eat the tiger?

But even the pig’s cultivation wasn’t low!

Nascent Soul Level 3, seemingly the same as Zhou Qin, but there was a difference.

Yu Hua, relying on her past life’s experience as a powerful cultivator, had perfectly planned every step of her future path. Her current cultivation was the limit of what her resources could achieve.

Zhou Qin, on the other hand, had only reached this level because of her alchemy pursuits. That was the difference.

As for the Divine Scripture of the Heavens (Complete)...

Yes, all 50 secret techniques that led directly to the Great Dao had been deduced with Ning Chen’s help.

The Qinglian series of secret techniques in the sect were compiled from the parts suitable for them.

Looking at the three women, all now at the Nascent Soul stage…

Ning Chen felt quite proud.

They had only joined the sect nine years ago.

In just nine years, they had gone from Qi Refining or early Foundation Building to Nascent Soul.

Who would believe it if it were said out loud?

Who would dare to believe it?

No wonder they had to keep it hidden.

Many outstanding disciples from major sects could reach the Golden Core stage, no matter how strong it was.

But Nascent Soul? That was straight-up unbelievable.

With such a high level of improvement, Ning Chen could boast without shame that he had been the one carrying the team.

And that was the truth.

It was almost entirely because of him—or more precisely, the him who had fused into the Supreme Sun Dao Body!

All the abilities of the original Supreme Sun Saint Body had been enhanced.

The effects of Ning Chen’s Primordial Yang were now likely multiples of what they had been when he first bound with the system.

If it weren’t for this, even with the three women’s extraordinary talents, they would never have reached their current level.

After all, it had taken thirty years to push Liu Ruoyan up back then.

Although her talent couldn’t compare to the three women, she had started at the peak of Foundation Building!

This clearly showed the stark difference inside and out.

Moreover, this level of enhancement had no upper limit.

The more he fused, the stronger the effects became.

If this continued, perhaps one day, his... essence could make someone ascend to immortality just by consuming it.

No, it might even turn them into a Dao Fruit.

Ning Chen couldn’t help but joke inwardly.

...

Finally, he turned his gaze to the woman who had been by his side the longest among his junior sisters.

[Nan Gong Ling].

Identity: ...

Age: 48

Cultivation: Nascent Soul Level 5

...

Ning Chen stared at the woman’s serene sleeping face.

It had been over ten years since they first met.

Yet he still remembered how she had boldly proposed dual cultivation with him the moment they met—such audacity.

Later, she had shown the most subtle and gentle attachment and care toward him.

If Ning Chen were the type to simply walk away without a second thought, that wouldn’t be possible. Naturally, there was an old bond between them.

In truth, after acquiring the abilities of these women, he had always treated Nan Gong Ling with a bit more care in his daily life.

He knew that compared to the other three women, she only had a single golden divine ability and was at a disadvantage in terms of innate talent.

So every time Nan Gong Ling came to him, he would choose to give her a few more “injections” within the same time frame.

Not for any other reason, but because of the compassion she had shown him back then.

He could feel it.

Even though she had eventually retreated, it was enough to earn his favor.

Nascent Soul Level 5 was truly the limit of what they could achieve through mutual effort.

But this level of growth still couldn’t compare to the others.

There was no helping it—cultivation was just that cruel.

As Ning Chen sighed, he continued to browse her status.

Talent: None

Physique: Twelve-Clawed Golden Dragon Battle Body (Awakening)

Divine Ability: Sun-Moon Divine Pupils ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Appearance: 98

Huh?

Ning Chen was stunned.

Had he misread?

Since when did she have an additional physique?

Wait.

He hadn’t misread!

Ning Chen leapt up from the bed. One of his special talents, the Gift, had taken effect!

He hadn’t expected his junior sister to have such incredible luck.

Among the countless abilities in his gene pool, she had directly drawn the highest-quality red-tier ability.

“Awakening”—no wonder she was the first to finish and still hadn’t woken up.

Hmm.

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

After all, having a red-tier ability in hand usually meant a smooth path to immortality.

Especially when it was a physique, which provided the greatest assistance.

The Twelve-Clawed Golden Dragon Battle Body was indeed formidable.

Now his junior sister wouldn’t have to worry about her talent in the future.

Ning Chen thought to himself.

However, in the next instant, he realized something extremely serious.

What the hell!

Why did it have to be this thing?!

He had only injected a single dose earlier, which was far from enough to complete the bloodline awakening!

As for the consequences of awakening, Duanmu Yao, who had wasted a lot of Primordial Yang and turned into a child, was already the most typical example.

No!

Ning Chen made a decisive move and immediately switched to a storm-like mode with Duanmu Yao, who had the strongest recovery ability.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

“Father...! What did I do wrong?!”

Even though Duanmu Yao possessed a battle body, she instantly crumbled under this frantic mode.

“No time to explain!” Ning Chen barked.

He quickly prepared himself emotionally.

Then, he switched positions and poured all the “nectar” into Nan Gong Ling.

Duanmu Yao: “???”

What just happened?!
