An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad - Chapter 298
Chapter 298
Back in the Immortal Realm, true immortals who coveted her beauty had been killed by her in such numbers their bodies could pile into a hill.
Even Immortal Lords of the same rank dared not show her such presumptuous gazes. She was only letting it slide because this brat had some fated connection with her—and had even done her a favor.
After shooting him another glare, the Aurora Dao Master said, “Familiarize yourself with the Heart. See if you can control it! The Divine Wood Heart is the heart of the Kunlun Divine Tree and contains its life essence. Even if it enters your body, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to control it! If you can’t control it, everything else is just empty talk!”
“Got it!” Yang Chen nodded, sat down cross-legged, and focused inward. Now that the Divine Wood Heart had entered his body, he needed to examine it carefully even without the Aurora Dao Master saying so. In his right chest, the green Divine Wood Heart pulsed with a strong beat. Its sound was powerful—far stronger than his own heart’s. Moreover, with each beat of the Divine Wood Heart, waves of vital energy spread out from it.
These waves of life merged into the surrounding meridians, flowing throughout his entire body, gradually strengthening every cell. At the same time, images began to surface in Yang Chen’s mind: A green seed rooted itself in chaos, sprouted, and grew into a sapling. The sapling continued to grow, from several meters tall to hundreds, then thousands of meters, until its branches reached the stars.
Gradually, creatures of various forms gathered under the great tree. Even phoenixes and mysterious birds nested and reproduced among its branches. Until a crimson blade light sliced through the sky, as if splitting the heavens in half.
The phoenix shrieked, the divine dragon roared. A sword light that could shatter the firmament, a flame giant thousands of meters tall, a massive rune formation enveloping the entire world. All kinds of powers collided, shattering and collapsing the entire space.
The divine tree that supported the cosmos was severed in half and came crashing down. After all fell silent, a blue phoenix descended upon the scene. It shed a few tears, then carried the severed trunk away.
…
It was unknown how much time had passed before Yang Chen opened his eyes again. In his eyes, a trace of ancient vicissitude flashed. It was as if he had traveled through ten thousand years, witnessing all the myriad forms of the world.
He spread open his palm, and a green lotus slowly bloomed. The green lotus was not a manifestation of true qi. It was a real, tangible green lotus flower.
Yang Chen had previously refined the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, and within his body, there was already the primordial fire of the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame. Now, a trace of the flame’s origin, combined with his comprehension of the Dao of Life, had directly grown into a real green lotus.
Yang Chen placed the green lotus on the ground, and it quickly took root in the soil. On the lotus’s body, green flames labeled “973” flickered, exuding a scorching aura.
“A single trace of the primordial fire has reversely transformed into a green lotus. Yang Chen, it seems your gains over these three months have been substantial! Such a technique can only be mastered by true immortals who cultivate the Dao of Life! This green lotus is a seedling of the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame. If placed in volcanic magma, it might even nurture another primordial flame!”
From the side, the Aurora Dao Master slowly approached, her tone filled with admiration.
Yang Chen turned his head to look, and his expression couldn’t help but falter slightly. At that moment, the Aurora Dao Master’s hair was dripping wet. Water droplets still lingered on her face. It was clear she had just finished bathing.
Her red attire clung tightly to her body, perfectly revealing her voluptuous and graceful curves. Paired with her breathtakingly beautiful face, she resembled an unparalleled immortal maiden descending to the mortal world. Yang Chen glanced at a distant lake, and a trace of regret flashed through his heart. If he had woken up just a bit earlier, wouldn’t he have been able to witness a beautiful scene?
However, he didn’t linger on the thought. After all, this beautiful woman had already warned him several times.
With a surprised expression, he said: “Three months have already passed? So long? Senior, why didn’t you wake me? Hmph, I didn’t wake you because it was for your own good!”
The Aurora Dao Master’s beautiful eyes gave him a sidelong glance. Paired with the water droplets on her jade-like face and her wet, dark hair, she exuded a certain charm.
“The opportunity to comprehend the Dao is something that can be encountered but not sought! Besides, a mere three months is but a fleeting moment for cultivators! Your comprehension of the Dao of Life over these three months is equivalent to a thousand years of arduous cultivation! You should now be able to mobilize the life origin of the Divine Wood Heart, right?”
“The life origin of the Divine Wood Heart? I should be able to!” Yang Chen nodded.
After observing the life of the Kunlun Divine Tree just now, he had not only comprehended the Dao of Life but also established a subtle connection with the Divine Wood Heart.
In fact, the entire Divine Wood Heart was formed from the life origin. Within the Divine Wood Heart, there was even an ocean of life origin.
Yang Chen attempted to mobilize a trace of the life origin, pulling it out from the Divine Wood Heart. Immediately, a few drops of green liquid appeared at his right chest. Although still within his body, they emitted a vibrant aura of life.
“It truly is the life origin!” The Aurora Dao Master directly extended her jade-like hand, pressing it against Yang Chen’s chest. She wanted to absorb the life origin using this method.
Pressing chest-to-chest with this junior, she still felt a bit embarrassed. Especially since this kid had previously stared blatantly at her chest, looking as if his mind was wandering. If they really made contact with that part, wouldn’t it play right into this little rascal’s hands?
However, the moment the trace of life origin seeped out from Yang Chen’s skin and entered her palm, it immediately ignited.
Boom!
The life origin instantly transformed into raging green flames. With Yang Chen and the Aurora Dao Master at the center, the flames spread toward the oasis and the desert. However, these green flames did not carry an intense heat. Instead, wherever the flames passed, the greenery of the oasis became even more vibrant. In the desert beyond the oasis, blades of grass and flowers rapidly sprouted and bloomed.
The flames spread across a thousand-mile radius. The desert within this thousand-mile radius directly transformed into an oasis. Even the sky began to rain spiritual rain imbued with the aura of life.
“The life aura contained in a single trace of life origin is so immense. Truly worthy of the Divine Wood Heart! Unfortunately, I have cultivated the Dao of Aurora for too long. The imprints of my Dao are too deeply embedded in my meridians, making them too incompatible with the life origin!” The Aurora Dao Master’s fair, delicate brows furrowed tightly. Yang Chen could mobilize the life origin, but she couldn’t directly absorb it. With her current recovered cultivation, she was still unable to suppress the life origin of the Divine Wood Heart and forcibly draw it into her meridians.
Could it really be that she had to use that posture?
Seeing this, a barely noticeable glint of amusement flashed in Yang Chen’s eyes. “Senior, it seems you can’t directly absorb the life origin!”
“Hmph!” The Aurora Dao Master let out a cold snort, her beautiful eyes glaring at him. But in the end, she said: “Close your eyes, and don’t think too much!”
“Yes!” Although Yang Chen was secretly chuckling inside, he still closed his eyes with a serious expression, giving this beautiful woman a bit of dignity.
After all, she was a towering figure in the immortal realm, a senior who had lived for a million years.
