Chapter 681 - 52: Borrowing a Seed at the Cloud Tower, the Fair Lady Ascends

Jia Yin, Beiming Cang Xue, and Beiming Qingqiu had each returned to Yuelang Heaven and Beiming Heaven, respectively.

The two of them sat facing each other, a jade table between them set with two cups of Spirit Tea.

Feng Yan’s dark hair was swept up into a high coiffure, a vibrant peach branch tucked into her chignon. Yet, her beauty outshone the flower.

After finishing the last cup of tea, Feng Yan set it down. She rose gracefully, walked out of the Cloud Tower, and stood in the void. Her black dress fluttered in the wind, a vision of peerless elegance.

She gazed at the scenery of the Jade Flower Realm with a complex expression and sighed softly. "Fellow Daoist Fang, I am leaving."

Fang Cheng walked to the jade balustrade and smiled. "Then I will see you off, Fellow Daoist."

Feng Yan glanced back with a smile, then gracefully soared toward the heavens.

Instantly, a boundless celestial phenomenon manifested in the void.

A ball of brilliant, auspicious light descended from beyond the sky, enveloping Feng Yan. It was as if she were inside a colossal furnace, with millions of five-colored light streams raining down and swirling around her.

Waves of wondrous Daoist hymns echoed from the void.

Fang Cheng saw that within the ball of brilliant, auspicious light, the five-colored rain completely surrounded Feng Yan. A sublime, pure, and profound power was working its way from the outside in, intending to reforge her Immortal Body.

Feng Yan hesitated for a moment before completely relaxing her mind and spirit, allowing the five-colored rain to enter her body.

The five-colored rain fell faster and faster, gradually turning a silvery-white. Its light was brighter than lightning, too dazzling to look at, and its power grew even more intense.

Such a celestial phenomenon had long since alarmed the numerous Tribulation Realm Cultivators of the Jade Flower Realm.

However, with Fang Cheng’s five great Spiritual Mechanism Incarnations acting as Guardians in a radius of thousands of miles, no one could approach the area.

Even with Fang Cheng’s level of Cultivation, he gradually found himself unable to see clearly what was happening inside that dazzling radiance.

But in his perception, it was as if Feng Yan’s physical body had vanished, only to be reborn anew. Countless particles of flesh and blood combined to form a brand-new Immortal Body.

A pure, spiritual body, stripped of the mortal dust of the Lower Realm and filled with the immortal qi of the Spiritual Sky Realm!

「For a long while.」

The celestial radiance slowly receded. Feng Yan’s black dress swayed, and a hint of determination appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.

Just as Fang Cheng thought she had completed her ascension, the woman gracefully descended back into the Taixu Cloud Tower.

Fang Cheng looked at her in confusion. "Fellow Daoist Feng, did something go wrong...?"

Feng Yan shook her head. Her beautiful eyes shifted, and she gazed at Fang Cheng with a gentle look, her voice soft. "Fellow Daoist Fang, there is one last thing I must do... If I don’t, I feel I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Fang Cheng fell silent for a moment.

Auspicious light swirled around Feng Yan. Her skin was fairer than snow, and a delicate fragrance wafted from her. She said, "I have an impudent request. I wonder if you would be willing to leave a descendant of your bloodline with me? Though I am not a pure, untouched maiden, I have just had my Immortal Body reforged and am like one newly born. That is why I have dared to muster the courage to discuss this with you, Fellow Daoist."

Fang Cheng looked at her incomparably beautiful face, now filled with shyness. He thought of the twists of fate and the calamities she had endured throughout her life, only to end up utterly alone, desolate and cold. Although she was about to ascend, her situation was quite pitiful, and a sense of tenderness stirred in his heart.

He said, "How could I possibly refuse such a small matter, Fellow Daoist?"

With that, he took the initiative to step forward and pull the beauty into his embrace. After a gentle kiss, Feng Yan gradually became impassioned. He then swept her up into his arms and carried her toward the Cloud Tower’s bedchamber.

Knowing their separation was imminent, they gave themselves over to passion in this fateful romantic encounter.

「Several days later.」Their ardor had still not waned.

And so, after bathing, they took out Spiritual Cuisine, Immortal Fruits, and fine wines in the luxurious Cloud Tower. They nestled against each other, sharing food and warmth, teasing and tangling together, indulging in pleasure to their hearts’ content, and enjoying themselves endlessly.

Fang Cheng was a master in the arts of love, ensuring they were both deeply satisfied in body and soul.

It wasn’t until more than ten days later that Feng Yan reluctantly bid farewell. She walked out of the Cloud Tower, stood in the vault of heaven, and gave him a loving goodbye.

Fang Cheng stood atop the Cloud Tower, looking up at the sky.

He watched as that graceful and enchanting figure flew straight toward the highest point of the firmament. In an instant, with a sudden flash, she vanished from the world.

「Yuelang Heaven.」

High above the clouds on a majestic mountain, several imposing palaces sat on the peak. They were surrounded by brilliant, shimmering light that flowed in a dazzling, iridescent display, a vision of unparalleled and magnificent beauty.

From the distant sky, a streak of Profound Light flew over like a long rainbow.

Within the Profound Light was, astonishingly, a tall, splendidly golden Cloud Tower.

A magnificent beam of Zen Light shot out from the imposing palaces, forming a bridge-like connection that extended to the front of the Cloud Tower.

Fang Cheng retracted the Cloud Tower and stepped onto the Zen Light. He felt a profound and mighty force surge forth, and in an instant, the beam of light carried him into a grand hall.

Inside the great hall, Venerable Jiayin, dressed in a snow-white Zen Robe, sat cross-legged upon a Treasure Lotus. Her gaze fell upon Fang Cheng, and she looked slightly surprised. "Fellow Daoist Fang, why has your Cultivation improved again?"

’He was just seeing Feng Yan off on her ascension. How could he have had another fortuitous encounter in such a short time?’

’To still be able to increase one’s Cultivation after reaching the Realm of Nine Tribulations Perfection... it either means he acquired a top-grade Dual Cultivation Tripod Furnace, or he had some other kind of immortal encounter.’

Fang Cheng casually sat down on a chair in the hall. Noncommittal about Jia Yin’s question, he said leisurely, "Fellow Daoist Feng has gone to your Dongyang Immortal Alliance. You must take good care of her."

’He felt a pang of regret. If I’d known Feng Yan would do this, I would have kept Jia Yin around when I was seeing her off.’

’That way, the friendship between the two women would have become even deeper.’

Jia Yin nodded. "You can rest assured on that matter."

With that, she took out two treasures.

A White Jade Seal and a Purple Gold Gourd.

Jia Yin’s lovely eyes rippled as she smiled faintly. "These two Fifth-rank Magical Artifacts can both teleport across the heavens and traverse the Outer Void via their beacons. You wanted them for the junior members of your family, right?"

Fang Cheng reached out, took the two Magical Artifacts, and nodded. "That’s right. After I leave, the Fang Family will need to establish themselves in this realm. Please look after them."

Jia Yin acknowledged his request and produced a Token. "This is the Supreme Elder Token of the Profound Talisman Sect. It can command everyone in the sect... This sect is ranked among the top ten in Yuelang Heaven. I wonder if you are satisfied, Fellow Daoist?"

Fang Cheng laughed heartily. He walked over, stepped onto the Treasure Lotus, and pulled Jia Yin into his arms. He whispered into her perfect ear, "Extremely satisfied. Now, let your husband thank you properly a few times!"

Venerable Jiayin chided him with a blush. "You’re being so brazen! This isn’t your Red Profound Realm! If you anger me, don’t blame me for activating the Spirit Immortal Grand Array and suppressing y—"

Before she could finish, her words were smothered.

Fang Cheng’s Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation picked up the Magical Artifacts and the Token and quietly left the great hall.

The flames of passion and the sorrow of parting stirred by Feng Yan were now all unleashed upon Jia Yin.

...

「A long time later.」

Peace returned to the great hall.

The two embraced in a clear pool, a flawless white Snow Lotus drifting slowly past Jia Yin’s chest.

By now, the Spiritual Mechanism Incarnation had already traversed the void and gone to the Sand Soul Realm to settle the Fang Family’s affairs.

From this day forward, the Fang Family would become a newly risen Spirit Immortal Family in Yuelang Heaven.

Possessing an entire World Heaven in the Sand Soul Realm, as well as a top-tier major sect like the Profound Talisman Sect, the Fang Family’s foundation was now powerful enough to be counted among the ranks of the realm’s Noble Families and Giants.

The older generation of Fang Family Disciples would still need to return to the Red Profound Realm to undergo their tribulations.

But the new generation born in Yuelang Heaven could cultivate peacefully here, join the various great academies, and even practice the Spirit Immortal legacies of this realm.

After completing their studies in the future, Fang Family Disciples could choose to either return to the family or go out to gain experience in other sects.

As for whether the Fang Family would produce peerless talents in the future who could ascend to the Spiritual Sky Realm, that would depend on the family’s luck and destiny.

「At this moment.」

Fang Cheng and Jia Yin were sharing an intimate moment in the pool, enjoying the afterglow of their Dual Cultivation while leisurely chatting about the Milo Immortal Road.

Seeing that Fang Cheng was finally in the mood to focus on the Milo Immortal Road, Jia Yin was overjoyed and began to explain it to him in detail.

"For Spirit Immortals from all the various heavens, the greatest temptations of the Milo Immortal Court are its supreme legacy that leads directly to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and its Milo Immortal Qi!"

"A normal Spirit Immortal needs to spend tens of thousands of years to cultivate a single Cycle of Heavenly Magical Power. But for the Spirit Officials of the Immortal Court, they only need to obtain Milo Immortal Qi to make their Magical Power surge, saving them countless years of hard work."

"It is rumored that just one hundred and thirty units of Milo Immortal Qi can allow a Spirit Immortal to advance by one Cycle of Heavenly Magical Power. This is also why the Immortal Court stands above the Three Thousand Spirit Void Celestial Realms."

Jia Yin spoke eloquently, her soft, jade-white body resting in Fang Cheng’s lap.
