Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 611: I Don't Agree to This Marriage!
Previously on Immortality Starts With Investment...
Having finalized the arrangements with the Holy Master, Ye Chen rushed directly to Senior An's abode. The years apart had intensified his desire for her, intertwined with the agonizing itch from the Nether Poison. Gift-giving proved impossible amid the vast universe, a primary motivator for his return. Without that, he might have remained for two additional years.
Senior An's cultivation had skyrocketed since acquiring the Seven Extremes Immortal Body. Flooded with treasures from Ye Chen, she had ascended to mid-Unity Stage, eyeing the late-Unity Stage soon.
From the Holy Master, he discovered his master lingered at late-Unity, probably having assimilated the sealed sword intent inside her. Recalling her mix of frustration and fondness in her gaze, Ye Chen grinned. The moment drew near. Once he handled the third-generation Star River Divine Son, he'd draw nearer to his master. The idea thrilled him. Spotting his response during her detoxification, Senior An blinked in astonishment, her eyebrows arching.
An Yu Yi's arrival shortly after shifted her focus. After so many years, An Yu Yi had blossomed into maturity, radiating like a stunning immortal bloom. Senior An, by comparison, stayed poised and tranquil, her heart unburdened.
Following several days of intimate exchanges, urgency compelled Ye Chen to bypass Elder Lin's visit, despite her flurry of pressing messages and preparations along the route to greet him. He vowed to see her soon, then departed under her aggrieved stare toward Heavenly Intention Immortal City.
...
Heavenly Intention Immortal City had lost its luster following Heavenly Evolution Holy Land's plots and the demise of its Holy Son, fading from past splendor. Yet this month, vitality surged through it. Immortal boats and pagodas jammed the outskirts, while streets teemed with cultivators. Forces from Great Yan Continent dispatched envoys, and sects from Central Continent sent elders alongside prodigies to observe the spectacle.
The third-generation Star River Divine Son stood at his zenith. Since his ascent, he crushed countless prodigies along the Immortal Path, even obliterating an avatar belonging to Hua Yunfei, heir of the Moral Heavenly Venerable. Such feats revived the Star River Clan's honor, crowning him their brightest Divine Son in a million years.
Yi Qingwu of Heavenly Intention Holy Land boasted equal fame. Though shy of Mahayana, her peak Unity realm hinted at a breakthrough on the horizon. Her Central Continent debut left cultivators in awe, earning her the moniker Moonlight Divine Maiden. Her battle strength shone brightly—a second-tier female prodigy from Central Continent had her fiancé, enamored with Yi Qingwu, issue a challenge. In a realm-matched clash, Yi Qingwu hurled her airborne with one moonlight assault, claiming total victory.

Blending stunning looks with immense power, she captivated all. With her prospective union now, crowds yearned to behold the event.
The Heavenly Emperor's heir, Ye Chen, harbored deep affection for Yi Qingwu—a widely known fact. He showered her with rare treasures, clashed in fights on her behalf, and slew her previous fiancé amid fury. Still, her heart eluded him.
Given Ye Chen's fiery nature, if alive, he'd never permit Yi Qingwu's marriage to another. His appearance seemed inevitable.
Speculation swirled on Ye Chen's potential arrival in Heavenly Intention Immortal City. Should he emerge, onlookers could uncover his fate—why a genius who battled six equals, slaying three Mahayana experts beyond his realm, had disappeared for eight years, absent even from the Immortal Path's launch.
Chatter surrounding Ye Chen reignited fiercely.
By midday, fervor gripped Heavenly Intention Immortal City. The Star River Clan's immortal boat traversed the boundless Endless Sea and descended. It lingered over the city as a youth clad in starry robes, emanating stellar radiance, emerged. Every stride birthed a colossal star underfoot, his overwhelming presence leaving everyone stunned.
A Mahayana Stage Second Heaven Holy Master, seamlessly merging domain, primordial spirit, and physique, his might surpassed the mortal.
Myriad cultivators stared in reverence at the Star River King Body.
Escorted by various clan elders, he entered Heavenly Intention Holy Land promptly. Word spread rapidly: that night, a magnificent Dao discussion would unfold at Heavenly Intention Palace, featuring the Star River Divine Son and Yi Qingwu. As strangers until now, this gathering served as their formal acquaintance.
All young cultivators gained entry, beholding the Divine Son and Holy Maiden while absorbing Dao discourse from prodigies and mighty experts. A mere phrase from them could unravel persistent cultivation knots.
The proclamation ignited uproar. Youths idolized powerhouses, itching to view the Immortal Path conqueror Star River Divine Son and Great Yan's premier fairy Yi Qingwu, plus glean scarce wisdom from Great Powers and Holy Masters. Throngs rushed to claim positions.
As dusk fell and serenity blanketed the skies, radiant divine glow bathed every inch of Heavenly Intention Immortal City. Heavenly Intention Palace brimmed with cultivators, arranged by realm—lesser ones relegated to the rear.
Banned from flight within the city, a Golden Core lad stretched on his toes for a peek at Yi Qingwu, muttering, "A celestial like Yi Qingwu ought not wed. If she insists, not to the Star River King Body—that foreigner snatching our Great Yan divine maiden! Better Ye the Fourth, flaws and all; he treasured his ladies. This Star River Divine Son fixates solely on cultivation—what good is that match? I reject this union!"
His companions urgently silenced him. A Mahayana expert might catch his words, annihilating a Golden Core with a glance. Moreover, the pair matched flawlessly— what standing did he hold to protest?
Hushed at last, the youth stilled.
Suddenly, a hand clapped his shoulder, a voice laced with mirth declaring, "Fine judgment, brother. I agree—the Fourth Holy Son suits her more. Thus, I oppose this marriage too…"
