Chapter 981: Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart!

The Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart seemed as if it had truly been crafted by the heavens specifically for a holy spirit. The moment it touched the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, it melted like liquid jade and seeped directly into the depths of Caiyu.

At the same time, Caiyu let out a soft, delighted hum. For the holy spirit, obtaining the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart felt like a fish returning to water. The persistent emptiness in her chest finally received its first true fulfillment. That complete and whole sensation brought Caiyu to the peak of joy.

At the same moment, a system notification sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

"Congratulations, host. Gift successfully given…"

"Gift: Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart!"

"Nine thousand two hundred times feedback in progress…"

"Detected that the gifted item holds extreme importance to the recipient…"

"Triggering maximum critical strike feedback!"

"Feedback: Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Just the inclusion of the word "reincarnation" told him the feedback would be extraordinary. He immediately continued reading.

"Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart: No matter how the river of time surges or worlds crumble, it protects a single point of true spirit, ensuring reincarnation remains eternal!"

"Possessing this heart allows one to reincarnate and be reborn. One can control the cycle of life and death. Even if one's own world is destroyed, through countless tribulations, decline, or decay, the self remains completely unaffected…"

"Myriad phenomena enhancement: Law comprehension accelerates, divine abilities and techniques evolve automatically, Dao rhyme and laws provide constant support, and Dao rhyme exerts overwhelming pressure…"

"Physical body amplification: Every circulation of blood carries the power of myriad phenomena, refining the physique to perfection. Each drop of divine blood contains the strength of myriad phenomena, capable of sweeping through all opposition!"

"Self-reincarnation: Memory remains intact, the physical body persists. Even after countless reincarnations when lifespan nears its end, one retains full self-awareness, free from any karmic entanglement, with the soul suffering no damage…"

"Piercing through reincarnation: One's gaze can penetrate hundreds of lifetimes, see through past lives and future paths, and restore memories for others…"

"…"

Reading the description, Ye Chen's eyes widened. Although he had already expected strong feedback, the extent still far exceeded his imagination.

As long as his lifespan ran low, he no longer needed to wait for death. He could directly enter reincarnation. Even after billions of cycles, he would retain his memories, his sense of self, and even his physical body. This was simply outrageous.

Reincarnation always carried risks. There was no guarantee of recovering one's memories, no certainty of growing strong again, and the new body would usually be entirely different from the previous self. Moreover, the soul had its limits. Not every reincarnation was possible; the soul could collapse under the strain.

Otherwise, the top families in the immortal realm would simply send every clansman who failed to become an Immortal King into reincarnation. Wouldn't that mean every one of them could eventually succeed?

Yet with the Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart, even after billions of reincarnations, he would still be himself!

In simple terms, this heart granted him far more possibilities. Even if he suffered a devastating defeat one day and was struck down, he would still have countless chances to turn the tables. This was the ultimate embodiment of "I can lose billions of times, but you only need to lose once and it's over."

Beyond that, the heart offered many other functions. It could protect others during reincarnation, allow him to see through their past lives, and help locate old acquaintances who had already been reborn… That meant even if those close to him passed away, there would still be opportunities to meet again.

Finally, there was the physical body amplification. It could continuously transform and strengthen every drop of blood, infusing each one with the power of myriad phenomena. The thought of every drop of blood carrying such power was terrifying.

Although the process of transforming his entire bloodstream would be lengthy, the upper limit was truly absurd.

Moreover, he cultivated the Immortal King-level Indestructible Scripture. His physical defense was nearly invincible, and his strength was already unimaginable.

And these were only the main functions of the Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart. The countless other benefits were equally impressive. Obtaining this heart would bring him an unimaginable elevation in power.

This made Ye Chen's gaze toward the Caiyu figure grow even brighter. This holy spirit was truly his lucky star.

Meanwhile, Caiyu felt Ye Chen's fervent stare, as if it could ignite the entire Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

The anxiety she had felt before vanished. She no longer worried that Ye Chen would tear her open and drag her out for his own amusement. She could sense that Ye Chen would not let her emerge prematurely just to satisfy his personal desires.

He desired her, but he truly valued her as well. Therefore, Caiyu did not rush to refine the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart and reshape it to her own form. Instead, she spoke earnestly, "Thank you, Uncle! Once I am born, I will definitely fulfill Uncle's wishes. At that time, I will stay inside Uncle's cave heaven for ten years and let Uncle do whatever he wants…"

Ye Chen: "…"

The way she phrased it made it sound as if she would be imprisoned by him for ten years. What exactly was going on inside this holy spirit's head?

On the side, Luo Bingling, who had recovered enough to sit up from the star pool but still wore an especially lazy expression, let out a mocking laugh.

"Even after gaining a heart, a holy spirit is still a stone-hearted one. She takes the benefits, says a few nice words, and draws a big pie in the sky. She's simply taking advantage of my husband's kind nature and his tendency to trust others.

"First, the Lotus Emperor's origin, now the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart. I'm afraid the moment she emerges, she will immediately turn hostile and decide that my husband is not worthy of her.

"At that point, the best outcome would be if she simply leaves without killing us. It's not impossible for her to slay her great benefactor right after being born."

Luo Bingling's tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Caiyu was so angry she nearly exploded.

This wicked woman! She was genuinely planning to repay Uncle. She had even prepared herself to endure ten years of torment. This time, she was not drawing any empty pie.

Ye Chen waved his hand. "Bingling, stop talking. Caiyu is not that kind of holy spirit. Besides, I don't have such intentions."

Luo Bingling's tongue was too sharp. Ye Chen was genuinely worried that one day she would provoke Caiyu into emerging early. That would be a massive loss for him.

Caiyu fell silent. She had to prove herself to this wicked woman.

At the same time, since Uncle had treated her so well, she should give him some sweetness in return. But emerging was out of the question. That was her bottom line.

Caiyu pondered the various techniques she had seen before. She suddenly recalled the scene of Ye Chen engaging in soul communication with the wicked woman's primordial spirit. That technique was not difficult. Perhaps she could try it too…

The art of soul communication did not have a high threshold. Moreover, Caiyu was extraordinary. In just an instant, she comprehended an entire method.

As for the risks? As long as she did not leave her shell and avoided external contamination, her gestation would not be affected.

So Caiyu gently manipulated the outer shell of the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, just as she had done when absorbing the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, and said to Ye Chen, "Uncle, my true body cannot emerge yet, but I have found another way!

"Uncle, please manifest your primordial spirit and enter my body. Please do not show me any mercy. Whether good or bad, I am willing to endure everything from Uncle…"

Ye Chen: ???

Chapter 982: Proving Herself!

Ye Chen waved his hand at Caiyu, indicating his refusal. This holy spirit's learning ability was frighteningly strong. She had only watched once, yet she had already mastered the art of soul communication. But he truly had no such intentions.

"Your most important task right now is to nurture yourself. Don't think about these unnecessary things! It would be bad if it affected your upper limit."

Caiyu hesitated upon hearing his words.

At that moment, however, Luo Bingling spoke up. "Tsk tsk, I bet you already guessed my husband would say that, so you're just putting on an act… A holy spirit is still a holy spirit!"

Caiyu immediately grew furious. She could not emerge yet, so she was sincerely offering Uncle a taste of sweetness. Right away, a suction force surged from the jade surface of the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, attempting to pull Ye Chen's primordial spirit inside.

Of course, such weak suction could not affect Ye Chen. He continued to persuade her gently, "There's no need for this. I know your heart is pure. Bingling, don't say such things in the future."

Yet Caiyu remained resolute. "I insist on doing this…"

Luo Bingling's lips curved into a smile. "Husband, you can never truly know a person's heart. What if the moment you send out your primordial spirit, she immediately changes her mind…"

The suction force from the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade grew stronger.

At the same time, Caiyu's childish voice rang out, "Uncle, I cannot endure this grievance. I must prove myself. If Uncle refuses to come, my Dao heart will remain unsteady."

Ye Chen shot a helpless glance at Luo Bingling. He felt this woman was deliberately stirring up trouble. But Caiyu was determined, so Ye Chen had no choice but to manifest his primordial spirit. In the next second, it entered the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

Normally, divine sense could not penetrate a holy spirit's shell. It possessed a natural barrier that made cultivators' divine sense register it as nothing more than an ordinary stone. This served as protection for the holy spirit.

However, because Caiyu had already developed sentience and taken early control of the shell, she could part that thin membrane and allow Ye Chen's primordial spirit to enter smoothly.

The moment Ye Chen's primordial spirit arrived, Caiyu showed no hesitation or shyness. She manipulated her divine soul and began circulating it exactly as she had seen before… On Ye Chen's side, he felt a trace of surprise.

Caiyu's divine soul was still somewhat hazy, yet her waist was slender, her legs long, and her figure curvaceous in all the right places. There was not a single flaw.

Ye Chen could sense that, in terms of appearance, Caiyu was in no way inferior to his fiancée. This was the nature of a holy spirit—as long as it was not defective, it was the most perfect creation.

Soon, however, Ye Chen no longer had the mood to ponder such things.

…

Outside the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

The corners of Luo Bingling's mouth lifted. She had done it on purpose, of course. Her husband had already given so much; it was only right that he received some sweetness in return. Otherwise, wouldn't he be suffering a huge loss?

As for actively finding other female cultivators for her husband, Luo Bingling had never considered it before, but she was not opposed to the idea either. After all, she knew her own limits. A few dozen breaths of time were already enough to satisfy her, after which she needed rest. Anything longer would be a burden for her. Leaving the rest of the time to others was actually beneficial for her.

Watching the graceful figure inside the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade, Luo Bingling pondered what was happening within and suddenly felt a bit hungry again. She glanced at Ye Chen, who had already sat cross-legged in the star pool, then slipped into the water and swam toward him.

Soon, Ye Chen's eyes widened sharply…

…

In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

Luo Bingling lay back down at the edge of the pool, her eyes dazed and unfocused. Lu Jing did not approach, choosing instead to laze on the lounge chair. Ye Chen's primordial spirit had already left the Seven-colored Nirvana Jade.

At this moment, Caiyu felt somewhat dazed. The process had not been painful at all. Instead, it had felt like ascending to immortality. She quickly realized the reason. It must have been because it involved only the divine soul.

The physical body and divine soul were different. When she eventually emerged, and it was her flesh that experienced it, it would surely feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Ye Chen had left, Caiyu immediately spoke, "Uncle, why did it end so quickly? Were you showing mercy to me? There's no need for that. I must prove to that wicked woman that a holy spirit also has a heart!"

Ye Chen felt helpless. The holy spirit race took anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of years to gestate. Their sense of time was clearly very different from that of humans. A week was already sufficient.

He waved his hand. "I trust you. There is no need to prove anything! Focus on your cultivation from now on. If there is anything that can help you emerge earlier or raise your upper limit, feel free to tell me… Now go and refine the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart properly!"

The Lotus Emperor's origin had not been fully refined by the holy spirit yet. There was also the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart waiting.

Ye Chen believed that once Caiyu fully refined both the Lotus Emperor's origin and the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, the feedback multiplier would definitely exceed ten thousand times, far surpassing Lan Nuo.

Caiyu immediately understood Ye Chen's thoughts. Uncle hoped she would emerge earlier. As expected, the painless soul communication was not enough to satisfy him. She would definitely work harder from now on.

However, once she reached the peak of the quasi-immortal realm, she would need immortal qi to continue her gestation. Otherwise, she would remain stuck there—either emerge prematurely or stagnate with no further progress until she eventually withered away.

But there was only a single strand of immortal qi in this realm. How could she ask for it? Bring her into the immortal realm? That seemed unlikely as well.

Although she was still a gestating holy spirit, she still occupied one quota. She had heard the wicked woman mention that Ye Chen had countless female cultivators around him, with two entire peaks dedicated to his harem. Could a holy spirit like her truly enter the immortal realm?

Although Uncle valued her highly, she still remembered the wicked woman's words: those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Would Uncle think the same?

Caiyu felt a moment of conflict, but she quickly cast it aside. She would first focus on refining the Lotus Emperor's origin and the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart. She would handle the matters before her eyes first.

…

After leaving his inner world, Ye Chen turned his gaze inward to examine his own heart. His heart had already turned a faint golden color. Indestructible true qi divine patterns flowed across its surface, and the power of reincarnation circulated within, radiating a sacred glow.

The concentration and profundity of the reincarnation power far surpassed that of his previous Supreme Heart. If he could fully comprehend it, his control over the power of reincarnation would reach an even higher level.

Moreover, Ye Chen could clearly see that every time his blood passed through his heart, it grew slightly stronger.

Ever since obtaining the Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart, he had been growing stronger with every passing second. Yet Ye Chen could also sense that his current realm and strength were still insufficient to unleash the heart's full potential. The enhancement he received now was far from complete. As his strength and realm continued to rise, the benefits brought by the Myriad Phenomena Reincarnation Heart would grow even greater.

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth lifted involuntarily. He glanced in a certain direction and flew straight toward the Nether God Holy Land. This time, he had to meet the little demoness.

However, several days later, Ye Chen's mouth twitched. The little demoness was not there again. He could not help but laugh. The little demoness was truly busy. Meeting her even once was surprisingly difficult.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Chen decided to head to the Myriad Races Immortal City first. He had been undecided about who to give the Chaos Azure Lotus seed to. After all, it was only a seed and lacked any special immediate use.

Previously, when Yan Ruyu received the World-Destroying Black Lotus seed, it had triggered maximum critical strike feedback. Perhaps giving the Chaos Azure Lotus seed to her would produce the same result.

As long as it triggered the maximum feedback, Senior An's Seven Absolutes Immortal Physique should be secured! If the little demoness still had not returned by then, he would directly calculate her location.
