Chapter 688: Chapter 266: Abandoning Illusions, Preparing for Battle with All My Might

In the Cultivation Realm, there has never been a shortage of beautiful women.

Even those of average appearance,

with just a bit of cultivation, would improve their complexion significantly.

Various skin diseases common among mortals are almost never found in cultivators.

Each one of them, with smooth and bright complexions.

Even if their original looks are quite poor, there are various Beauty Enhancement Pills, Youthful Appearance Pills, and Beauty Pills to assist. Saying there are no ugly women is somewhat absolute, but the abundance of beauties is indeed a fact.

Shen Xinyue is, of course, a beauty, with a dignified demeanor and excellent in every aspect.

However, the Cultivation Realm is not lacking in those as beautiful as her, and even more stunning existences.

Even Chen Xiao’Er herself considered her looks not much inferior to hers.

Thus, she was quite surprised at first when Ye Hongyi, from a Golden Core family, took an interest in Shen Xinyue, with a demeanor of determination.

Now, hearing that there is another reason, she was astonished and asked, "It’s not because he fancies her, then what is it he fancies?"

"Her physique!"

Feng Xue lowered her voice and spoke.

"Physique?"

Chen Xiao’Er was taken aback.

"Shen Xinyue is one of the rare Young Phoenix Body in the Cultivation Realm.

This physique offers little to no enhancement to the cultivator’s own cultivation speed.

But for cultivators who practice special cultivation techniques, she is an ultimate resource.

Ye Hongyi, the cultivation technique he practices is the Red Dust Technique, which is a special cultivation technique.

It is also one of the few Dual Cultivation Techniques in the Cultivation Realm.

Once he engages in dual cultivation with a cultivator possessing a special physique, he can immediately leverage the other’s unique physique to rapidly enhance his own cultivation.

The Young Phoenix Body is considered one of the best among special physiques.

It is estimated that it could save Ye Hongyi at least five years of cultivation time.

If Shen Xinyue were to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the aid would be even greater.

It could potentially save him ten to even twenty years of cultivation time.

This is too great a temptation for Ye Hongyi, who practices the Red Dust Technique, making it almost impossible for him to pass up.

That’s why I say, before she establishes her foundation, Shen Xinyue might still have some opportunity.

But if she truly succeeds in reaching Foundation Establishment,

then Ye Hongyi certainly won’t let her go.

He would be willing to incur huge costs, even risk offending the Shuiyun Immortal Sect to do so.

Feng Xue shook her head and said.

"So... that’s it.

I was wondering, why would Ye Hongyi, coming from a Golden Core family, take an interest in Shen Xinyue?

Moreover, it’s said he declared his intention to marry her as a concubine after seeing her just once.

Turns out, the real reason is this."

Chen Xiao’Er’s face showed a look of realization.

But soon, she showed a puzzled expression and asked, "But isn’t Ye Hongyi afraid of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect pursuing this matter later?"

"Of course, he’s not afraid.

Firstly.

Although the Red Dust Technique is a Dual Cultivation Technique, it is not an Evil Cultivation Method.

Though her unique physique can greatly assist Ye Hongyi, the dual cultivation method would not harm her significantly.

The second reason is.

Ye Hongyi’s background is indeed extraordinary as well.

If he really succeeds, at the very least she could be placated with a concubine status.

For ordinary disciples of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect, while it might seem a disgrace, it would have to be accepted at that time."

With this, Feng Xue also shook her head and sighed.

Ye Hongyi, holding such a great reputation and being well-known in the Celestial River Domain, fitting the profile of celestial pride, is indeed no ordinary figure.

"So according to what you say, isn’t it extremely difficult for Shen Xinyue to escape from Ye Hongyi’s grasp?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’Er couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Unless she dies, it’s nearly impossible to escape Ye Hongyi’s control.

Don’t assume the Shuiyun Immortal Sect has sent people over.

But just one Wu Feiyue is not enough.

After all, this is Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

It’s one of the territories of the Ye Family.

Though Ye Yanshu comes from a branch, his achievements and growth rely on the main branch’s support.

Ye Yanshu’s initial success was due to the help from the Ye Family main branch.

That’s why he could soar, cultivating a Foundation Establishment True Body, ranking among the Foundation Establishment Eight Realms in the Li Fire Domain.

And this is one of the reasons why the Ye Family in the Celestial River Domain remains enduring."

Subsequently, Feng Xue’s words shifted, leading to a sigh: "The Ye Family has countless branches over the years.

Not only in the Li Fire Domain but also in the Southern Territory, and Central Domain, the presence of Ye Family branches can be seen.

Among these scattered Ye Family offshoots, while most have inferior qualifications, with little cultivation value,

the sheer number of Ye Family descendants allows for a few to stand out, reaching celestial pride level.

Ye Yanshu was precisely noticed by the main branch at that critical time, then, every ten years, they would send resources, cultivation techniques, and even divine techniques for him to choose from and cultivate, aiding his growth.

This is how he could quickly rise to prominence and maintain his position as the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace Master under the Qingyuan Sect’s oversight.

This time, clearly it’s another instance of the Ye Family providing resources.

Except that the one sent this time is Ye Hongyi, a direct descendant of the Ye Family."

"Thus,

both sentimentally and rationally, Ye Yanshu would definitely take action.

Once he takes action,

do you think, among those in Shuiyun Pavilion, who would be his match?"

...

These words left Chen Xiao’Er speechless, also making her feel a sense of sympathy for Shen Xinyue, a cultivator she had interactions with.

It also added weight to Zhou Changwang’s mind, far outside Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

Though he hadn’t personally experienced Ye Yanshu’s power, his Karma Desire Technique had allowed him to calculate it numerous times.

He was very much aware of his strength.

In a scenario where fifteen of them worked together, only then could they barely contend against him.

In the past, within the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, he put in immense effort, dedicating himself completely to cultivation, due to his uncertainty.

This is why he cultivated crazily, enhancing his strength and foundation.

But whenever he thought of the Karma Desire Technique’s calculations, the pressure was immense.

And this time,

before coming, he still held onto a sliver of hope.

Hoping everything goes smoothly, so he wouldn’t need to intervene, with the pressure from Shuiyun Immortal Sect perhaps enabling Sister Shen to be taken back safely.

But now it seems,

it’s clearly impossible.

Ye Yanshu won’t give up on Sister Shen, a perfect furnace.

Likewise, Ye Yanshu won’t stop Ye Hongyi from doing so, over an unfamiliar cultivator.

Indeed, due to the resources at stake, Ye Hongyi will go all out to achieve Ye Yanshu’s goals.

"Thus,

I can only abandon wishful thinking and prepare for battle with all my might!"

Zhou Changwang murmured softly.

...

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, I’ve written too little, please bear with me!
