Chapter 1248: Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal!

When his aunt smiled at this moment, the entire Chaos Secret Realm seemed to brighten. There was no other reason. Everything stemmed solely from the fact that Ye Chen had firmly stood on her side. Ye Chen truly loved her so much!

For Yan Ruyu, who cultivated the Dao of Ultimate Emotion, this mattered far more than any gift. Not to mention that Yan Ruyu was no clay Bodhisattva. Though she appeared cold and lofty and rarely displayed emotion, that did not mean she possessed none. She had already been dissatisfied with Wang Xuanji. Now the woman had dared to reach out and seize. Ending up in such a state was truly satisfying.

"Chen'er…"

Yan Ruyu gently extended her hand and stroked Ye Chen's cheek. In her soft, luminous eyes, love was so dense it nearly formed threads.

Ye Chen smiled lightly and clasped her small hand in return.

"To me, Aunt is the most important… No one can seize what belongs to Aunt. No one at all!"

Such words made Yan Ruyu's ice-like, jade-like body feel lighter by several degrees. She could not help wanting to return to the Great Sun Glazed Purification Pool.

The affectionate exchange between the two left Wang Xuanji, who was still doubting her entire existence in the distance, as though struck by lightning.

Impossible. This was absolutely impossible.

Wang Xuanji refused to believe that the Ye Chen who had gifted her even a top-tier supreme treasure like the World Tree without the slightest hesitation could fail to love her, or that someone else could be more favored than she. She was absolutely the one Ye Chen loved most. She could not accept it.

She immediately flew up and glared furiously at Ye Chen.

"Why? Am I not the one you love most, Ye Chen?

"You gave me your most precious possessions. How could you not love me?

"Why are you standing on her side now?

"Exactly what love potion has she poured into you?

"Stop being foolish. She does not love you. She only wants the resources in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury to elevate herself.

"Once she has drained you dry, she will abandon you without the slightest hesitation!

"In the end, she may even use your life to temper her Great Dao and make you completely into her stepping stone.

"You have already been toyed with in the palm of her hand.

"Only I truly want what is best for you, want you to live, want you to achieve longevity…

"Ye Chen, clear your head a little!"

At this moment, Wang Xuanji roared in direct fury.

Hearing her, Ye Chen pursed his lips. To hell with truly wanting what was best for him. Draining him dry before sending him off to the labor camp counted as wanting what was best for him, did it?

Ye Chen felt something was truly wrong with Wang Xuanji's brain. He could no longer be bothered to speak.

Just then, Xie Linyuan happened to fly over. After completely hearing Wang Xuanji's words, his eyes widened. Xie Linyuan knew Ye Chen had played wildly in the past and had probably treated the entire lower realm as a harem. The ones he brought to the Immortal Realm now had certainly been carefully selected. Yet at least they were all female cultivators. He truly had not expected that Ye Chen would even… with men.

Thinking of Ye Chen's ruthless treatment of other male cultivators, then of the tolerance Ye Chen showed him, and even the exclusive operating rights he had specially granted him, Xie Linyuan could not help shuddering, fear entering his eyes.

…

On Ye Chen's side, he simply could not be bothered with Wang Xuanji. With a brain like that, critical hits would probably remain impossible for the rest of her life. Let her play on her own.

Ye Chen focused his gaze on Yan Ruyu and spoke softly.

"Aunt, accept it. If you refuse this item, I will simply toss it to her…"

As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed at Wang Xuanji.

Still in the midst of her rage, Wang Xuanji's expression stiffened at once. Ye Chen had not answered her at all. Yet this was even more humiliating than being cursed directly. What did it mean that if she refused, it would be tossed to her? Exactly what was she in his eyes? Why should she only get a turn after someone else refused? In what way was she inferior to that woman?

Wang Xuanji trembled with fury.

Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes showed a hint of helplessness at the words. Yet besides helplessness, there was also the joy of being favored. At this moment, she could no longer refuse. Otherwise, would it not simply go to that ungrateful woman who kept pushing for more?

"Chen'er…"

Yan Ruyu had a thousand words she wished to say, yet in the end only Ye Chen's name left her lips. Ye Chen smiled and held her jade-like hand, placing the Great Luo Dao Fruit into her palm. Yan Ruyu said nothing more. She simply held Ye Chen tightly.

At the same time, a system prompt finally sounded within Ye Chen's mind.

"Congratulations to the host on a successful gift…"

"Gift given: Great Luo Dao Fruit!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand times feedback in progress…"

"Detected that the gift presented by the host is of extreme importance to the recipient…"

"…"

"Triggered maximum critical hit feedback…"

"Triggered heart-strike feedback…"

"Feedback: three Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits of different laws!"

Feeling his aunt's boneless, jade-like hands and looking at the system feedback, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow… He had originally believed the Great Luo Dao Fruit was already the most important treasure for the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He had expected the feedback to produce a large number of Great Luo Dao Fruits of various laws. Instead, something new had appeared?

Great Luo Dao Fruits, he had at least heard of before, even if he had not recognized them. Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits, however, he had never even heard of. What was this thing?

Ye Chen immediately continued reading downward.

"Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit: the supreme Dao Fruit that can only be nurtured with Primordial Chaos Purple Qi as its source!"

"Ordinary Great Luo Dao Fruits contain the power of Great Luo laws that are bound by a single world domain. If one travels to other worlds, the laws one has mastered will suffer suppression, and the strength one can unleash will be far inferior to before…"

"The Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit contains the power of Mixed Origin Great Luo laws, compatible with the laws of all heavens and myriad worlds. In any world one will remain unaffected by the environment of heaven and earth and can display perfect combat power…"

"Mixed Origin Great Luo laws can elevate a cultivator's Great Luo Golden Immortal realm into the hidden Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. With a raise of the hand one can mobilize the laws of multiple worlds, stacking suppression, with power far surpassing ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals…"

"Mixed Origin Great Luo laws can advance a cultivator's Great Luo Immortal Domain into a Mixed Origin Great Luo Immortal Domain. The law amplification, suppression, power, and functions all far exceed those of ordinary immortal domains…"

"Multiple Mixed Origin Great Luo laws do not conflict with one another. Fusing more Mixed Origin Great Luo laws becomes even easier, and they mutually enhance each other rather than merely stacking…"

"If one can master three thousand Mixed Origin Great Luo laws, the Mixed Origin Great Luo Immortal Domain will advance into a Flawless Immortal Domain…"

"Within a Flawless Immortal Domain, enemies cannot touch even a trace of law. All divine abilities and mighty forces are suppressed to the extreme. One may also devour the immortal domains of other cultivators and continually strengthen oneself…"

"If one can master three thousand Mixed Origin Great Luo laws…"

The system's introduction was dense and packed. For a moment, Ye Chen even felt his eyes swim. Yet the most critical functions made his heart race uncontrollably. Was this Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit not a bit too ferocious?

Its preciousness was also truly unimaginable. After all, his aunt possessed a one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-times multiplier plus overflowing gratitude, and even then, the feedback had produced only three. The value of these Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits was simply inestimable…

Chapter 1249: Xie Linyuan's Shock!

Ye Chen could not help feeling shaken. The effects of this Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit were truly outrageous. Not to mention anything else, with this item, one would directly transform into a warrior of the myriad worlds. In the future, one could travel to any world without being affected by its laws or losing combat power.

Moreover, because one would master the law power of multiple domains, the denseness of that power would of course far exceed the laws of a single world. Not to mention the various other divine effects.

It could be said that if one could master a complete Mixed Origin Great Luo law, one would feel fully capable of crushing an immortal who had mastered ten ordinary Great Luo laws. Clearly, the same realm. Others were Great Luo Golden Immortals. You were a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal. You would directly become a person above people.

Ye Chen swept a glance over the feedback Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits. The three laws were respectively the Chaos Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit, the Reincarnation Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit, and the Great Yang Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit! The attributes were all rather good and quite suitable for him.

The only pity was that there were too few. His aunt was excellent in every way except that her multiplier was too low. And this Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruit was precious beyond imagination. Under such circumstances, only a mere three had been fed back.

Yet Ye Chen did not regret it. After all, even with Wang Xuanji's six-hundred-thousand-times multiplier, critical hits and heart strikes included, it would only have produced a dozen or so at most. Most important of all, Wang Xuanji would never trigger a critical hit. Therefore, there was nothing more to say.

He stored the Mixed Origin Great Luo Dao Fruits into his small world. They could only be used after reaching the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. Judging by the effects of the Qilin Crystal-Casting Immortal King Pill, he would likely remain at the early Golden Immortal stage for a rather long time. The middle and late stages would then advance by leaps and bounds. A solid case of easy first and difficult later.

Having settled everything, Ye Chen gently held his aunt and waited for the next gift-giving cooldown to arrive. After the final gift this time, the secret realm would end, and it would be time to leave.

…

At this moment, Wang Xuanji remained trapped in unprecedented grievance and shock. Her eyes still brimmed with disbelief as she stared fixedly at Ye Chen. She could not understand it. She truly could not. How could the Ye Chen who had gifted her the World Tree no longer love her? And how could he strike her for the sake of another woman?

Every time she thought of this, the grievance in her heart became impossible to suppress. Ye Chen had not used much force, yet she felt it hurt more than the two bites Li Ren had given her. In her heart, even if she stood against the entire world, Ye Chen would still stand firmly by her side. Yet how had things changed?

After long consideration, Wang Xuanji finally arrived at an answer. Love turned to hate. Because she had not brought Ye Chen along during the ascension, his burning love had transformed into thick hatred. Yet she also felt aggrieved.

At the time, she had already taken the initiative to compromise and allowed Ye Chen to bring Dao companions to the upper realm. It was Ye Chen himself who had refused.

Moreover, after she opened the Heavenly Gate, she had constantly thought of Ye Chen and planned to bring him out in the future. When Ye Chen killed Wang Teng, she had spoken up for him at the first opportunity and persuaded the elders not to strike with lethal intent. She had given so much for Ye Chen. Yet Ye Chen only thought of hating her?

Wang Xuanji felt somewhat angry, yet amid the anger, she felt far more at ease than before. Ye Chen's indifferent, cold attitude had frightened her. But if Ye Chen hated her, that proved he still loved her. As long as she could dispel the misunderstanding and tell him of her painstaking efforts, Ye Chen would quickly turn from hate back to love. He might even take back that Great Luo Dao Fruit and give it to her.

Wang Xuanji continuously transmitted her voice from the side. She spoke of all the past events, of her family, of the future, and of how deeply she had missed Ye Chen after ascending and returning… She also spoke of how much effort she had expended to dissuade her clan from attacking the Jade Pool Immortal Sect, all to prove how good she was and to reclaim Ye Chen's love.

Ye Chen paused for a moment, then frowned and directly chose to sever the connection. Who do you think you are? Always demanding that others consider your difficulties? Why should your hardships mean that others suffer the grievance instead of you?

In Ye Chen's view, Wang Xuanji could neither trigger critical hits nor provide any emotional value. She was not even as likable as Liu Ruyan, the new maidservant he had recently taken in. She was not the least bit endearing.

Ye Chen cut the connection, allowing his aunt to refine the Great Luo Dao Fruit in peace while he stood guard for her.

Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, glanced at Wang Xuanji, then cupped the Dao Fruit in both hands and slowly closed her eyes.

Wang Xuanji clenched her fists tightly. That was her Great Luo Dao Fruit. How infuriating! Yet what could she do? Ye Chen still hated her, and she had no way to stop any of this.

At this thought, she forcibly steadied her emotions and ceased her endless chatter. Once they left the secret realm, she would have her father and the others help save Ye Chen. Then Ye Chen would understand how much she had given.

Compared to Yan Ruyu, who only came to take and consume for her own benefit, she herself was the most suitable Dao companion for him, without exception. Thus, she also chose to sit cross-legged and began attempting to break through to the Great Luo realm.

…

Seeing that his aunt had entered seclusion and that Wang Xuanji had finally shut her mouth, Ye Chen leisurely turned his gaze toward Xie Linyuan.

"Little Xie, why have you come at this time?"

Still staring in wide-eyed shock, Xie Linyuan sensed Ye Chen's gaze and immediately trembled slightly. He wanted to stay far away. Yet thinking of the goddess, he still gritted his teeth and revealed an expression of resolute righteousness.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, although cultivators in the Immortal Realm who favor the way of Cut Sleeve are actually not few…You must still restrain yourself. It would be best not to let outsiders know.

"Otherwise, once word spreads, the goddess's reputation will also suffer, and the child between you and the goddess will never be able to hold his head high…"

(Cut Sleeve: a euphemism for homosexuality in Mandarin)

Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth twitched hard… His hand also rose involuntarily, itching to strike someone. What complete nonsense was this? Rumors about him being obsessed with women, he could endure with a bit of grievance. But this Cut Sleeve business was pure fabrication! Ye Chen could not tolerate even a shred of it.

He no longer cared in the least about Wang Xuanji's life or death and was about to open his mouth to inform Xie Linyuan of her identity. Yet Xie Linyuan gave him no chance to speak. He continued with an air of righteous self-sacrifice, transmitting into Ye Chen's mind.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, if you truly cannot restrain yourself, I can endure the grievance… I will never spread it, and thus the goddess will remain unaffected…"

Xie Linyuan failed to finish transmitting. Ye Chen slapped him flying with a single palm…

After giving Xie Linyuan a thorough thrashing and informing him of Wang Xuanji's identity, Xie Linyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he loved the goddess and was willing to give everything for her, this particular matter still made him panic. It was good that it had been a misunderstanding.

Xie Linyuan curiously examined Wang Xuanji from afar. He had not expected that Wang Xuanji, whose immortal root had been dug out, had actually recovered. No wonder she could fight the three of them to a blazing standstill with peak Golden Immortal cultivation.

Yet he felt that Wang Xuanji's immortal spiritual root had not fully recovered. After all, with the power of an immortal spiritual root, if it had been completely restored, a single raise of her hand should have been enough to kill the other three Great Luo cultivators. Ye Chen's own immortal spiritual root could certainly achieve that.
