Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 632: The War God Clan's Scheme!

Gu Yunyun steeled herself, shutting her eyes tight, prepared for Ye Chen's naughty rebellion. Yet, despite a prolonged wait, no incident occurred. Bewildered, she peeked open her eyes and saw Ye Chen with a concerned expression. "Master, are you alright? Why did you suddenly fall silent and close your eyes? You really scared me!"

Gu Yunyun's cheeks ballooned in rage… Her curvaceous body appeared even more formidable amid her fury. Ye Chen brimmed with cunning schemes. During his Qi Refining phase, he dual-cultivated with maids each night. Once he departed Green Cloud Sect, his adventures spiraled out of control. An Miaoli, An Yuyi, Li Feihuang, Lin Qingtan, Yi Qingwu, Fan Qinghe…

No way did she think he overlooked her hints. Enraged beyond measure! She cast a fierce glare his way, plopped down against the cavern wall, and showed him her back in utter silence.

Ye Chen stood dumbfounded. His master's sulky pout proved utterly charming, resembling a puffed-up fish. Yet, seeing her so vexed, a loyal disciple knew he must comfort her. He drew near, easing both her spirit and form…

In time, her cheeks deflated once more.

Ye Chen eased up. More presents awaited delivery, so he'd hold off for a fortnight. Noticing her disregard as she plunged into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's Mahayana sword Dao insights, Ye Chen settled next to her with a grin, reviewing the system notifications chiming within his thoughts.

"Congratulations, Host, on gifting successfully…"

"Gift: Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Mahayana Sword Dao Insights!"

"Two-thousand-fold feedback underway…"

"Detected: Gift holds immense value for the recipient…"

"Maximum critical reward activated!"

"Feedback: Sword Grass Treasure Technique!"

"Feedback: Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's comprehension of the Sword Grass Treasure Technique…"

"Feedback: One leaf from the Mahayana Realm Nine-Leaf Sword Grass…"

Ye Chen grinned at these returns. His master's boost factor remained modest, making even a peak crit unsurprising. Nevertheless, the gains proved substantial.

Among the Ten Vicious Treasure Techniques stood the Sword Grass Treasure Technique, the sole sword Dao method in that elite group, boasting tremendous might. Perfecting it meant commanding elite sword arts.

Sword Dao held little appeal for Ye Chen. Its relentless kill-or-be-killed fervor clashed with his style. He favored outlasting foes as they fell. Still, an extra Treasure Technique always thrilled. His goal: gather every one of the Ten Vicious Treasure Techniques and merge them…

All ranked supreme. United, their potency would eclipse immortal treasures, defying imagination. Besides the Sword Grass Technique and its insights, the leaf caught him off guard. Stored into his small world through the system, Ye Chen's divine sense explored it, his gaze igniting with excitement. Within the small world materialized a jade-green leaf stretching a meter, emanating piercing sword qi that matched the Dugu Wooden Sword.

Awe filled Ye Chen. Sure, he'd crushed the Vicious Ten imprints during his tribulation, but those paled as faint echoes, nowhere near the originals' ferocity. After achieving Mahayana, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass wielded leaves rivaling pinnacle Extreme Dao Weapons. A single lash equaled their devastating force.

By Quasi-Immortal Realm, those leaves competed with immortal artifacts. Its battle prowess stood unmatched. Tribulation imprints failed to capture such glory. The remaining nine vicious entities mirrored this. Yet Ye Chen brimmed with assurance—he'd overpower their authentic selves effortlessly.

Gu Yunyun, sword Dao fanatic, swiftly set aside her disciple's playful jabs. She dove deep into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's Mahayana sword Dao insights.

Ye Chen left her undisturbed, silently devouring the Sword Grass Treasure Technique's insights. Later, he'd pass along the technique and insights to his master. He even planned to gift her the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass leaf as her hidden ace. Owning two supreme Extreme Dao Weapons already, he scarcely required another. Silence enveloped the cave. Both immersed in diligent cultivation…

…

Two days passed before Dugu Sheng made his way back to the Sword Sect. His arrival ignited a commotion. No prodigy of the current era, he'd ventured to Central Continent a hundred years prior upon hitting Mahayana, deeming the Sword Sect confining. A century on, he'd advanced to late-stage Second Heaven Mahayana, mere moments from Third Heaven Realm. The return of such a genius spelled fantastic tidings for the Sword Sect.

Elders swarmed, Dugu clan members foremost, eyes alight with anticipation. Dugu Sheng presented Luo Bingling, eliciting shock and delight. Non-human though she was, the cultivation realm harbored no blanket bias against her kind. Raw power trumped all.

Luo Bingling, Second Heaven Mahayana herself, hailed as princess of the War God Clan. Should she pair with Dugu Sheng as dao companion, the Sword Sect's might would surge. Total victory!

Upon confirming Ye Chen's presence there, secluded solely with Gu Yunyun, Dugu Sheng's brow furrowed. Ye Chen complicated acquiring the Dugu Wooden Sword. Direct clashes with him held no appeal. Yet, as the secret realm's activation loomed, who could predict Ye Chen's departure?

After some contemplation, Dugu Sheng headed to meet the Saint Ancestor. As his direct senior, the Saint's prestige and influence could move Gu Yunyun. Offered suitable recompense, Ye Chen likely wouldn't stir up issues, honoring the Saint.

With Luo Bingling settled, Dugu Sheng soared toward the Saint's abode. Hearing Ye Chen lurked in his master's cave, disdain flickered in Luo Bingling's eyes. She was all too familiar with Ye Chen's womanizing habits.

Just done charming the Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden, he now dawdled in his master's cave, heaven knows for what. This heir to the Heavenly Emperor, incredible talent aside, showed no real devotion to the Dao. No prodigy fated for immortality chased skirts like that.

The War God Clan strictly followed monogamy. This fueled her scorn for Ye Chen even more. Still, she heaved a sigh. Ye Chen's very flaws had drawn her and Dugu Sheng to the Great Yan Continent. She yearned for the rumors to hold—that Ye Chen lavished all on women who caught his eye.

She wished the unbroken Dao Cauldron from the Heavenly Emperor's vault now rested in Ye Chen's grasp. His cultivation pace defied nature. Even heaven-defying genius couldn't explain such speed. War God Clan elders suspected their immortal relic, the Dao Cauldron, was with him… If so, she'd seize it by any method necessary!
