Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 1011: The Wang Family's Nine Dragons!

After waiting nearly seventy years, An Miaoli had finally gotten her wish. She had returned to her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

An Yuyi lay enviously in her aunt's arms, gently stroking her belly. "Auntie, do you think it will happen? Will it be a little brother or a little sister?"

Hearing this, a touch of softness appeared in An Miaoli's cold eyes. "Since the seed has already been planted, there is no need to overthink it. Let everything follow fate."

An Miaoli was no longer anxious. There were still several years until Ye Chen broke through to immortality. In such a long time, they could try many more times and success would surely come. She might appear a bit proactive because of this, but it was all for the sake of having a child. She had a clear conscience. She believed Ye Chen would understand.

On Ye Chen's side, he had devoted a great deal of time to compensating Senior An. Now that he saw she was completely satisfied, he finally stood up, stretched lazily, and said in a relaxed tone, "Senior An, Yuyi, I will go into seclusion next to break through to the quasi-immortal realm!"

Although the two-and-a-half-year mark had not yet arrived, his trip to the Central Continent had brought successive improvements to his physique. These changes had indirectly accelerated the synchronization between his inner world and the black hole. Now they were perfectly aligned, and he could formally break through to the quasi-immortal realm.

Both An Miaoli and An Yuyi smiled upon hearing this, genuinely happy for Ye Chen. Ye Chen was already close to being unrivaled in the entire cultivation world. Once he reached the quasi-immortal realm, he would basically be able to sweep through everything. Obtaining the final strand of Immortal Qi had become almost inevitable.

Looking at Senior An, who now seemed to carry a maternal glow, Ye Chen smiled. "Senior An, there is no need to worry. It will be very quick… If it has not succeeded yet, I will put in even more effort!"

An Miaoli nodded gently, showing no shyness and remaining exceptionally calm. "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ye…"

Ye Chen smiled in response. He liked Senior An's calm and indifferent style the most. After thinking carefully, he realized it had been a long time since he had seen his eldest senior sister Yao Xi and his master. He was about to achieve the quasi-immortal realm, and immortality was not far away. It was time to bring them back to his side. Once this breakthrough was complete, he would go fetch them!

After making the decision, Ye Chen flew out of Senior An's cave abode.

Coincidentally, Holy Master Feng Baiyu arrived at that moment to inform him of the anomalies in the Ninth Realm. Immortal Qi would officially emerge in three years.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Chen felt even more satisfied. In three years, he would definitely become an immortal!

However, along with the good news, Holy Master Feng Baiyu brought another piece of information that left Ye Chen silent.

Rumors were spreading outside that he would not even spare an immortal corpse. The story was detailed and vivid, with every little particular described.

Listening to it made Ye Chen's fists harden.

Manjusaka had chosen that path herself, and the revived body being identical to the immortal corpse's origin was only because she had been too weak. What did that have to do with him? He had simply gone to save someone!

Ye Chen could tolerate many things, but this reputation of not even letting corpses go was something he truly could not endure. He immediately began explaining to the Holy Master.

The author's NovelPhoenix publication was copied without approval; the chapter in that publication supports their work.

However, although Feng Baiyu nodded with an agreeing expression, the complicated look on his face made it hard for Ye Chen to believe the man truly accepted his explanation rather than simply humoring him.

For the first time, Ye Chen felt a sense of powerlessness. Rumors were truly terrifying. Even if he was unrivaled, he still could not stop people's mouths. Fortunately, he would soon enter the immortal realm. Once there, everything would be a fresh start. No one would know about the past. He had to become an immortal. He must become an immortal!

Clenching his fists, Ye Chen stormed into his cave abode with a rumble.

…

In the immortal realm.

The once-prosperous Wang Family, a long-lived aristocratic clan, no longer held its former glory. In the past, the Wang Family had been an Immortal King clan with an Immortal King in residence. Its nine sons all carried Immortal King bloodlines. Each one was like a dragon—terrifying and unmatched.

The eldest of the nine sons and his Dao companion had given birth to a daughter named Wang Xuanji, whose talent was even more astonishing. Not only did she possess complete Immortal King blood, but she also had the legendary Immortal Spiritual Root. It had simply remained hidden and undiscovered.

But the Wang Family's Immortal King ancestor had once betrayed the Heavenly Emperor. After taking a punch, the power of reincarnation had latched onto him and could not be removed. He had endured it for thirty thousand years before finally falling.

After the Wang Family's Immortal King ancestor perished, Wang Xuanji's concealed talent was calculated and exposed—she possessed the Immortal Spiritual Root.

An Immortal Spiritual Root basically meant that as long as she grew up, she would definitely become an Immortal King. Someone then found an opportunity to strike in secret and dug it out.

After extracting the Immortal Spiritual Root, the hidden party had even wanted to completely shake Wang Xuanji to death. But the Wang Family's Nine Dragons arrived in time and forced the assailant to retreat.

Even so, with her immortal root dug out, Wang Xuanji's cultivation had been nearly destroyed. She had fallen straight to the peak of the quasi-immortal realm. Without a spiritual root, she could no longer bear Immortal Qi. There was no longer any possibility of cultivating back to immortality.

Dark clouds hung over the Wang Family. The fall of their Immortal King ancestor had already left them vulnerable on all sides, forcing them to give up countless benefits just to barely hold onto their core territory. Now their most important next-generation descendant had been secretly plotted against and almost crippled. The future of the Wang Family looked bleak and hopeless.

However, in the core area of the Wang Family, the Nine Dragons each radiated dragon-like auras, with Immortal Qi soaring into the sky around them. Their eyes were exceptionally cold and sharp, as if they could sweep away everything in the world.

"Xuanji, you need not worry… Our Wang Family's Soul-Quelling Decree is a top-tier primordial spirit Immortal King scripture, nearly approaching the dao! Before our ancestor passed, he deduced that in the lower cultivation world, there exists a young World Tree sapling!

"As long as you obtain it, nurture it to maturity, and plant it into your body, its effects will be comparable to an Immortal Spiritual Root… With the World Tree's support, you will be no weaker than before. Your crippled cultivation will also quickly return to its peak…

"At that time, you only need to hide within the clan. With the immortal formation left by our ancestor protecting you, no one will be able to calculate any information about you. Once you become an Immortal King, our Wang Family will naturally rise again. As for the one who struck in secret, we will make them pay with blood and fire!"

"Moreover, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths side wants to migrate their entire clan in the future. They will need the support of an Immortal King. Otherwise, their previous promises will be nothing but empty words! Whether our Wang Family can continue depends entirely on you!"

The eldest of the Wang Family's Nine Dragons spoke seriously to his daughter.

In the center, a graceful figure sat cross-legged. The woman wore a green long dress. An aura of unparalleled majesty radiated from her flawless face, and her entire being carried an indescribable will of invincibility.

As for her appearance and figure, they were already difficult to describe with words. One could even say that on this woman, appearance and figure no longer mattered. Even though her face was currently pale, she still inspired fear in others.

The woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at her father and eight uncles, nodding calmly. "Father and uncles, rest assured… This time, having expended so many opportunities to pierce the barrier and descend to the lower realm, I will definitely not disappoint the clan. In the future, I will become an Immortal King, or even higher. I will make our Wang Family stand tall and eternal, untouched by the destruction of the world…"
