Storm Clouds Gather
Ethereal Immortal Sect
After meditating and regulating his breathing, Chen Wang brought himself to his optimal state and then consumed the Soul Nurturing Flower.
This Soul Nurturing Flower is a special spirit medicine that can strengthen Divine Sense, and it is extremely rare in the Cultivation World.
Chen Wang's Divine Sense had already reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and now, after consuming the Soul Nurturing Flower, his soul had become even more refined.
The Three Souls and Seven Spirits greedily absorbed the power of the Soul Nurturing Flower, constantly growing stronger.
This feeling made Chen Wang somewhat happy.
He hadn't experienced such rapid progress in a long time.
The fact that this Soul Nurturing Flower can be auctioned off and is sought after by so many powerful forces naturally indicates that it is extraordinary.
Chen Wang's State of Mind was becoming increasingly clear. The benefit of his powerful Primordial Spirit was that he could see the things around him with greater detail than before.
Chen Wang used his Divine Sense to look around, and the surrounding scene was reflected back to him.
His Divine Sense is now even more subtle, making it difficult for others to detect.
He glanced at the two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, who were oblivious to his presence and continued their conversation.
Chen Wang noticed that someone was watching what was happening on his side.
He didn't take it seriously and carefully examined the man for a while, but the man still seemed oblivious.
Previously, Chen Wang and that Xuan Jian Real Person, that bald old man, were both at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and their Divine Sense were comparable.
But if the two were to meet again now, his Divine Sense would be able to overwhelm the other 'Divine Sense.
The Six Souls Heart Refining Curse and Heart Sword will also unleash even greater power, threatening opponents of this level.
Chen Wang let out a long breath and continued to refine the medicinal power in the Soul Nurturing Flower, absorbing it all from morning till night.
Over the next few days, he refined two more spirit medicine, the River of Forgetfulness Grass and the Dragon Claw Lotus, pushing his physical strength Qi and Blood, and Law Power to an even higher level.
In just a few days, Chen Wang underwent a complete transformation.
Firstly, his Law Power power had finally reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but it was still somewhat inferior to his divine soul.
His soul has far surpassed the ordinary Great Perfection realm, and it can no longer be improved; it has reached its limit.
Unless he can condense a golden core, that would be a completely different world.
"So the so-called Great Perfection isn't the peak after all. It's just that once you reach this level, cultivation on your own becomes extremely slow, almost imperceptible, unless aided by such rare and precious treasures," Chen Wang thought to himself.
Now his Law Power is extremely profound, and his physique Qi and Blood are much stronger than before, even stronger than ordinary peak body refinement cultivators.
"The third world seems to be a martial arts system. I wonder what the difference is between it and body refinement. I should go and explore it during this time."
Chen Wang thought to himself.
Next, he adjusted his breathing to its peak, his posture was full of energy, and his eyes shone brightly.
He has also begun to refine the Sea Flipping Seal, and it is now usable.
This seal is incredibly powerful when used, which amazed Chen Wang.
"This treasure is more powerful than my Golden Bracelet, and it can change at will and move swiftly. Compared to it, the Golden Bracelet is a bit slower."
That day, Feng Lin came to see Chen Wang.
Since she went to Embrace Emerald Peak, her demeanor has become increasingly composed.
The Cultivation Method of Embrace Emerald Peak made her look like she was made of water, and her eyes were misty, making her even more alluring.
Upon seeing Chen Wang Chen Wang, Feng Lin threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her head in his neck.
Her physique was very special. She had previously followed the Flower Immortal to cultivate and was regarded as Cauldron, but was later taken under Chen Wang's command.
Xu Yun was Chen Wang's concubine, but Feng Lin was not. Strictly speaking, she should be considered Chen Wang's subordinate and lover.
Another beautiful Foundation Establishment Realm female cultivator came to Embrace Emerald Peak to find Chen Wang, just like Xu Yun before her.
This naturally aroused jealousy among others. Two people looked at each other in disbelief, saying, "This guy doesn't go out much, but I didn't expect him to be so popular with women."
"Pah, this really annoys me. Can't we find someone else to monitor him? I don't want to see him having a fling with women all day long."
The two Foundation Establishment Realm Guest Elder looked at each other, feeling quite displeased.
The dissatisfaction with Chen Wang had become uncontrollable.
Chen Wang led Feng Lin inside, but Feng Lin suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I've heard some bad news about you lately."
Chen Wang asked, "What news?"
Feng Lin said, "I heard a senior sister talking about some secrets within the sect."
Feng Lin looked flustered. Chen Wang chuckled and patted her bottom, saying, "Sit down and talk slowly."
Feng Lin blushed, but then said anxiously, "That senior sister and a cultivator in the sect named Zhao Shenyan are Daoist partners. Zhao Shenyan's master is a great cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, Old Ancestor Dao Yuan."
"I learned from him that the sect sent people to the Rare Treasure Pavilion to participate in the auction, but they returned empty-handed. As a result, Guo Changling and Wang Fengxian, a married couple from the sect, returned and complained to Elder Huo Yun, instructing him to secretly sabotage the sect's mission."
Chen Wang asked, "And then?"
As expected, the Ethereal Immortal Sect also sent people there.
However, he didn't know much about the Ethereal Immortal Sect. Now it seems that Guo Changling and Wang Fengxian were nearby at the time. They recognized him as Huo Yun when they saw him holding the Immortal Slaughtering Bow.
Chen Wang quickly figured out the key point.
Feng Lin continued:
"But Huo Yun is backed by Dao Yuan, Old Ancestor at the Golden Core Stage, so this matter was dropped and suppressed."
"They've all been suppressed. It seems having connections within the sect is indeed a good thing," Chen Wang said with a smile.
Feng Lin said, "That's where the problem lies."
"I heard rumors that Huo Yun is going to deal with you. The evidence used to identify him is the Immortal Slaughtering Bow, which belongs to Huo Yun and was given to him by Old Ancestor Dao Yuan. Huo Yun said that he gave this item to Sky Void Daoist, but Sky Void Daoist and his companions have disappeared."
"You believe what he says?" Chen Wang asked.
"Of course they don't believe it. Guo Changling is a steady person, and Wang Fengxian is good at making friends and is very quick-witted. They insist that Huo Yun did it, but he blamed it on Sky Void Daoist, who has been missing recently. If it weren't for Old Ancestor Dao Yuan's protection, Huo Yun would definitely have been blamed."
"That senior sister and Zhao Shenyan are Daoist partners. She learned from Zhao Shenyan that Huo Yun had mentioned you through gritted teeth. You don't know this person. He always pays attention to his demeanor, has the skill of cultivating his inner strength, and is very particular about his manners. But that day, his face was somewhat distorted."
"That senior sister only mentioned this as a joke. She didn't know about our relationship. But when I heard it, I was shocked and rushed to tell you about it. Be careful."
Huo Yun is very powerful within the Ethereal Immortal Sect, and he is backed by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, making him an extremely difficult person to deal with.
Chen Wang said, "I'm not afraid of anything else. He's been eyeing me for a long time. He also sent Sky Void Daoist and the others to deal with me."
Feng Lin was startled. "Then it's Sky Void Daoist?"
Chen Wang smiled faintly, "The bottom line is unclear."
Feng Lin said, "In short, you need to be careful during this time!"
Chen Wang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Was it unintentional for your senior sister to tell you this, or was she deliberately trying to tell me through you?"
Feng Lin was stunned.
"You mean she might have come to tell me this on purpose?"
Chen Wang said, "That's right. The three of us came to this Ethereal Immortal Sect together. If someone were to inquire, they would naturally notice some things. Besides, it's not a secret. It's not difficult to find out."
Feng Lin said, "But why didn't she tell me directly?"
Chen Wang pondered for a moment and said, "You mentioned earlier that her Daoist partner, Zhao Shenyan, is also a disciple of Old Ancestor Dao Yuan. Isn't this person the same backer as Huo Yun?"
Feng Lin nodded, then realized something and abruptly looked up, saying, "You mean..."
Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "Wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts and strife. Cultivators cannot let go of their Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and are no different from ordinary people."
"Perhaps someone doesn't want to see Huo Yun get rid of me easily, but rather wants to see us both suffer heavy losses, or even use me to get rid of him."
Feng Lin took a deep breath and said, "That is indeed possible."
She gave a self-deprecating laugh. "I thought I got the information from that senior sister, but it turns out she was the one trying to use me."
Chen Wang took her hand and said softly, "Don't think like that. It's just a guess. Even if it's true, I'm very touched that you came all the way here to tell me."
Feng Lin felt a warmth in her heart. "Chen Wang."
Since joining Chen Wang's tutelage, she has always addressed him as "True Person Chen," which, though somewhat jokingly, also reflects her reverence for Chen Wang.
Her senior sisters had wanted to get rid of her, but thanks to Chen Wang's intervention, she was saved.
She also witnessed Chen Wang's ruthless methods at that time.
Later, he swept across the Thirty-Six Islands, killing many skilled fighters, and even wiped out the invading Cloud Radiance Sect.
Now, she has transformed herself and entered the Ethereal Immortal Sect with Chen Wang, becoming True Disciple of Embrace Emerald Peak. Thinking about it carefully, it all feels like a dream.
Feng Lin was so touched by Chen Wang's words that she couldn't help but call Chen Wang by his name.
She suddenly felt something was amiss, her face showing embarrassment. Just as she was about to explain, Chen Wang smiled and pinched her cheek.
"What does it matter if I call you by your name? Don't you just call me True Person Chen when you're just joking?"
"Feng Lin, you weren't like this back in the Market."
Chen Wang's affectionate gesture made Feng Lin's previous tension disappear, replaced by a feeling of being touched and relaxed.
"What should we do now? Should we leave this Ethereal Immortal Sect and find another place?"
Feng Lin asked.
Chen Wang smiled and said, "Now that you are the True Disciple of the Golden Core Old Ancestor of Embrace Emerald Peak, are you willing to follow me to wander the world and roam everywhere?"
Feng Lin said, "Being True Disciple of Golden Core Old Ancestor is certainly good, but compared to being by your side, it's nothing."
She spoke with great candor.
Chen Wang smiled slightly, "Things won't come to that. The reputation of Embrace Emerald Peak for protecting its own is very high. Even the sect leader has to be wary of it. You will not be affected by me while you are cultivating there."
Before Feng Lin could say anything more, Chen Wang said, "Sky Void Daoist is taking away the Spirit Stone from newly joined Guest Elder. He's asking for an exorbitant amount. He takes away the Spirit Stone that are given to each Guest Elder joins the sect for the first time. Huo Yun is behind him."
Feng Lin exclaimed in surprise, "This is outrageous!"
Chen Wang said, "Who can argue with that? If it were just a small token of respect, that would be understandable, but the way they're doing things is just too disgusting."
Chen Wang said, "I know the inside story. Tell your senior sister about these things when you're chatting, and don't worry about anything else."
Feng Lin said, "You want to use that senior sister's words to deal with Huo Yun?"
Chen Wang smiled slightly, "There are some things I have that some people don't know. I'll tell you about them one by one later. Just go and tell them."
Feng Lin nodded.
Sky Void Daoist works for Huo Yun and also knows some of Huo Yun's secrets. Chen Wang plans to expose these things.
Chen Wang knew that Huo Yun had someone protecting him, and that over the years, no one was completely unaware of what they had done. It was just that there was a Golden Core Old Ancestor behind them, and they couldn't break through that barrier.
"Doing this won't have any decisive effect, but it's better than nothing," Chen Wang thought to himself.
He told Feng Lin some of the hidden details. Feng Lin was extremely intelligent, but she didn't immediately grasp some of the things. She also wrote them all down.
Then Chen Wang took out two jade pendants and handed them to Feng Lin.
Feng Lin looked down and said, "Is this Communication Magical Artifact?"
Chen Wang: "That's right."
This Communication Magical Artifact is of very high quality; Feng Lin could feel the Spiritual Qi contained within it as soon as she received it.
Chen Wang said, "Give the other one to Xu Yun. You can use this Communication Magical Artifact to communicate if you need anything."
Feng Lin nodded.
Chen Wang instructed, "The situation in the sect has been unclear lately, so don't come here too often to avoid attracting attention."
Chen Wang was always decisive and ruthless, and his methods were both dark and vicious.
However, now facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Golden Core Old Ancestor backing him, and Huo Yun himself being an extremely difficult person to deal with, Feng Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried for Chen Wang.
Chen Wang's situation was very bad.
Feng Lin poured him a cup of hot tea and said softly, "I'll listen to you and come less often during this time, but since I'm here today, I'll stay a while before I leave."
Chen Wang took the tea and took a sip, but Feng Lin had already knelt down.
Chen Wang sat there with his legs spread wide, while Feng Lin Chen Wang placed her hands on his legs and kneaded them a couple of times.
From this angle, Feng Lin's face appears even more radiant and beautiful.
"I know you must be upset to hear this, let me try to put you at ease," Feng Lin said gently.
Chen Wang used his finger to lift Feng Lin's chin.
Feng Lin's bright face certainly suggests she is an extremely gentle and demure wife.
"Sensible."
Chen Wang smiled.
Feng Lin knelt on the ground. Her clothes were originally a bit loose, but this posture perfectly outlined her waist-to-hip ratio and the curves of her body.
From Chen Wang's perspective, the view is even more unobstructed and pleasing to the eye.
Soon, sounds that made people blush filled the room.
Chen Wang felt a little relieved; the young woman was indeed very attractive and sensible!
