The Hehuan Sect Was Squeezed Dry for Ten Thousand Years, but It Became a Sacred Ground?-Chapter 78

Chapter 78

Ning Chen tried to keep his movements swift yet steady, being as careful as possible. After all, Nan Gong Ling wasn’t like him; she didn’t possess the Supreme Yang Dao Body that could encompass all things. For her, replicating and integrating Eastern cultivation techniques wasn’t as simple as eating or drinking. There weren’t even any unusual phenomena when it happened—it was just directly absorbed. Even with the previous Supreme Yang Saint Body, as long as the quality didn’t exceed a certain threshold, no unusual phenomena would occur. Therefore, it was best not to disturb her too much in this state.

Ning Chen had no choice but to resort to the less-than-ideal method of “inserting and guiding to the south.” Fortunately, it was successful. Because Nan Gong Ling was already very familiar with herself, there was no rejection reaction during her awakening process. Ning Chen temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could keep up with the energy replenishment, it would be fine. Otherwise, if the awakening couldn’t keep up with the energy supply, and the bloodline judgment led to a transformation, Nan Gong Ling might end up looking even younger than Duan Mu Yao.

It was also fortunate that Nan Gong Ling wouldn’t awaken instantly; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had any time to make up for it. However, after sensing the speed at which she was absorbing the refined nectar, Ning Chen knew that this alone wasn’t enough. He quickly turned to the other three women and explained Nan Gong Ling’s current critical condition. Out of camaraderie, they all agreed to help.

Thus, the three women, despite their exhaustion, began to fully support her, hoping to help Ning Chen quickly gather his emotions. Ning Chen naturally didn’t refuse. One person’s awakening meant suffering for the three walls. It wasn’t until Ning Chen updated seven times at the fastest speed that the siphoning situation finally disappeared. It should be enough now, Ning Chen thought to himself, putting down Zhou Qin, who was completely limp like mud. He quickly logged out, switched the login interface, and successfully registered for the eighth time.

“Whew!” Ning Chen let out a long breath. Even for him, such high intensity was inevitably exhausting, let alone for the other three women. They were truly worn out this time. Ning Chen moved the three women one by one to the farthest position from Nan Gong Ling to avoid disturbing her. From here on out, it was all about doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.

Glancing at the woman with her eyes closed and her face flushed, Ning Chen quietly got out of bed. Stretching his body, he walked over to the window. Enjoying the breeze and overlooking the vibrant and majestic immortal sect under the noon sun, Ning Chen felt extremely satisfied. Although he couldn’t leave during his seclusion, staying at the top of the tower and gazing into the distance was much better than being stuck in a dark basement. The reason he was able to successfully change to a new seclusion environment was all thanks to his negotiations with the system for benefits. He believed that the scope of seclusion should only limit the length and width, not the height. Otherwise, the little bit of seclusion range he gained each day would all be stacked into height, and the Demon Locking Prison—who knows what was going through Liu Ru Yan’s mind when she built it so deep—might not be filled even after hundreds or thousands of years.

Finally, after Ning Chen’s reasoned arguments, he successfully bypassed the system’s rules. The seclusion range would no longer limit height but would only consider length and width. Moreover, the previously accumulated height range was also compensated into the area, which was why Liu Ru Yan built this massive tower. Each floor had different functions and facilities—dining, training, entertainment… and the top floor was his resting bedroom. Since he was used to the name “Demon Locking Prison,” Ning Chen didn’t change it. Although the previously imprisoned demons had all been sacrificed, wasn’t this place also a prison for the hearts of these women? They were all so proper outside, but when they came to him, they became so… passionate.

Thinking back to the scattered and impoverished state of the sect before he was imprisoned, and now looking at this majestic and magnificent paradise, Ning Chen couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions. All of this was because of him! The hidden MVP in the shadows. Of course, there was Liu Ru Yan’s diligent development, but as the saying goes, without strength as a foundation, no matter how capable you are, you can’t achieve anything. If he hadn’t appeared back then, perhaps the Qing Lian Sect would still be an unnamed sect, unworthy of being listed among the three thousand sects of the Great Xia Dynasty. It might have even turned into a historical relic due to sect conflicts.

Ning Chen reached out his hand, feeling the long-lost sunlight. It was warm. Now, he had finally stepped out of the darkness and into the light. As the true driving force, he would naturally devote himself to helping the sect grow and prosper. After all, these were all his wings! Now, his monitoring function could even scan every corner of the entire sect. He could even lock onto individual perspectives. He could watch whatever he wanted, even following someone to see them bathe. No one would ever notice. Ning Chen would check from time to time, even using the system’s entertainment functions less often. Not for any other reason, but just to look at the young women, purely for his own pleasure.

However, Ning Chen didn’t continue to develop the mark on Liu Ru Yan, choosing instead to keep it at the current stage. Because he liked a dog that maintained its personality but was obedient, not a puppet without any ability to think. As for the complicated sect affairs, he let Liu Ru Yan handle them herself. He would just be the kind of boss who has his secretary handle things when there’s work, and when there’s none… well, you know. It was fine.

As for the gift ability that took effect on Nan Gong Ling, this wasn’t the first time it had worked. His seven attendants had all received gifts over the years, but at most, it was just their looks—nothing worth mentioning. This time, however, was the first time the gift talent had worked on someone who already possessed a golden quality! Although the description said that the lower the talent, the easier it was to awaken, Ning Chen still had no plans to use it on ordinary sect disciples. There was no other reason—it would be too conspicuous. Unless the Qing Lian Sect replaced the Yuan Tan Academy as the top sect, unless… the entire Great Xia Dynasty was under the control of his people.

Looking back at Duan Mu Yao lying on the bed, Ning Chen shook his head and sighed silently. Sigh, he didn’t know if this one could be relied on.
