Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 708: He Really Loves Me So Much!
Previously on Immortality Starts With Investment...
As the Mark Secret was activated, Ye Chen also sent a message to his fiancée, stating: "This battle brought a substantial reward. The Holy Prince's origin essence alone is almost equivalent to all the resources I've previously given you. Combined with Lu Ya's, it's not far behind. I've already purified both. Once you completely refine them, you'll be one step closer to achieving the Acquired Chaos Body."
Upon hearing this, his fiancée, who had closed her eyes to savor the moment, suddenly opened them. Her gaze softened as she looked at Ye Chen. She understood his character; he typically wouldn't engage in prodigy battles unless a woman was involved. Therefore, she had initially assumed he was fighting for that Yao Yuezhi. However, it was now apparent that this was not the case at all. His actions were entirely for her benefit, aiming to enhance her constitution and help her attain the Acquired Chaos Body.
She recalled the saying that true love involved cherishing everything that was important to the other person. Ye Chen clearly held her in deep affection. She had been mistaken about his motives. She intended to express her feelings, but in the next instant, an incredibly pure flood of origin essence surged into her, not only exceptionally pure but also immense in quantity.
Yi Qingwu was taken by surprise, gasping and rolling her eyes dramatically. It took a considerable amount of time before she could fully absorb it all. Since refining origin essence required time, she didn't begin immediately. Instead, she gently pushed Ye Chen away. Her noble, icy expression slowly tilted downwards, and her perfectly proportioned legs bent slightly. Their intimacy was profound, rendering words unnecessary. Simultaneously, a system prompt sounded in Ye Chen's mind:
"Congratulations, Host—your gift has been successfully delivered…"
"Gift: Origin Essence!"
"4,500× feedback in progress…"
"Detecting extreme emotional fluctuation in recipient due to gift's importance…"
"Maximum critical hit triggered!"
"Feedback: Primordial Chaos Supreme Body completion increased to 1/10,000!"
Upon witnessing the system's reward, Ye Chen was ecstatic. A shiver coursed through him as he exhaled a long, contented breath. His fiancée was truly becoming more capable by the day. His Primordial Chaos Supreme Body had advanced from one in a million to one in ten thousand. While seemingly a minor improvement, the actual enhancement was immense.
Ye Chen could distinctly feel his physical constitution undergoing a profound transformation—a comprehensive leap forward. His flesh, Qi, soul, and domain all experienced significant enhancements, filling him with eager anticipation. Even at a mere one in ten thousand completion, the effects were already so potent.
He couldn't help but wonder what the fully realized Primordial Chaos Supreme Body would be like. His fiancée, sensing his excitement, believed it was due to her efforts. She smiled contentedly and immersed herself even more deeply in their activity, thinking that to love someone meant providing them with the utmost pleasure.

Luo Bingling observed from the sidelines, maintaining her vigilance while also studying. She harbored a strong desire to intervene the moment Yi Qingwu needed a break and claim the coveted spot, intending to exact revenge for the previous splashing incident.
However, Luo Bingling soon found herself growing numb to the situation. It appeared that woman had anticipated her plan and never relinquished her position, remaining there the entire time. Nevertheless, Luo Bingling breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she hadn't been splashed this time.
Seeing no opportunity and feeling she had absorbed all she could, Luo Bingling ceased her focused attention. She began to comprehend the various Daos and laws that Ye Chen had imparted to her. Her attitude had subtly shifted; even without the Dao Cauldron, she was finding herself reluctant to leave.
Beside Ye Chen, an endless supply of Dao Charm Pills was available, dramatically accelerating her cultivation speed. He had also generously shared all manner of top-tier Daos and Laws, knowledge that even her own clan did not possess. Frankly, staying by Ye Chen's side was far more comfortable than remaining within her clan.
Consequently, even if she were to obtain the Dao Cauldron now, she would hesitate to depart. Cultivating alongside Ye Chen—aside from the presence of these bothersome women—was proving to be quite agreeable. But in the very next moment, Luo Bingling was jolted from her thoughts, her eyes widening in fury as she glared at Yi Qingwu.
"I'm going to kill you…"
Yi Qingwu cast a cold, detached glance at the drenched Luo Bingling and offered an insincere apology: "Sorry, the cave is rather small."
She then resumed her activity. This dismissive attitude only fueled Luo Bingling's anger further. It was the same excuse as before, clearly indicating this woman's desire to drive her away because she was in the way.
Yet, the more Yi Qingwu attempted to push her away, the more determined Luo Bingling became to resist. She resolved to stand her ground, observing and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Yi Qingwu, sensing Luo Bingling's intense scrutiny, became even more invigorated, throwing herself into their activity with renewed passion…
…
An entire week vanished in the blink of an eye.
With deep satisfaction, Ye Chen stirred. It was time to head back to the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and immerse himself in secluded cultivation. He had recently ascended to the late Second Heaven. Another six months of dedicated cultivation would elevate him to peak Second Heaven, preparing him perfectly for the breakthrough to the Third Heaven. His mastery over space, honed through the Minor Space Technique, Minor Transference Technique, and Minor Sealing Technique, had brought him to the very precipice of the human dao's spatial comprehension.
Furthermore, his plans included refining a portion of his nascent small world into his personal cave-heaven, augmented by the use of spatial divine stones. Ye Chen felt a surge of certainty; emerging into the Third Heaven would see his cave-heaven expand to an unimaginable scale. Coupled with the fully acquired Stasis Secret, advancing to the Fourth Heaven would be a seamless progression. Upon reaching the peak of the Third Heaven, he intended to bestow the origin essence upon the Heavenly Desire Divine Maiden, Fan Qinghe, allowing her to draw from him completely before he rode that momentum straight toward the Semi-Saint realm. Truly, cultivation felt effortless for him.
…
While Yi Qingwu might not have been entirely sated, her spirits remained high, buoyed by Luo Bingling's undivided attention. Ye Chen, however, had serious cultivation matters to attend to. Thus, she curbed her desires and personally escorted Ye Chen and Luo Bingling as they departed.
Before their departure, Ye Chen delivered a brief sermon atop Holy Maiden Peak. He casually selected a fortunate female disciple, bestowed a treasure upon her, and then departed, leaving behind the lingering, reluctant gazes of the female disciples, accompanied by an admittedly still-sulking Luo Bingling.
However, Luo Bingling's expression soon transformed. The instant they left the vicinity of Heavenly Intention Holy Land, Ye Chen transmitted the complete Stasis Secret directly to her.
The Stasis Secret was an artifact of immeasurable value. The temporal laws embedded within it represented the ultimate treasure for cultivators in the Third Heaven. But what truly exhilarated Luo Bingling was the realization that Ye Chen had perfected this profound secret within the span of a single week.
What did this signify? It proved that his focus had not been solely on Yi Qingwu during their time together. His thoughts had consistently been with her, diligently completing the Stasis Secret for her benefit. Therefore, in Ye Chen's heart, her standing had already surpassed Yi Qingwu's. His profound love for her was evident! All her previous endeavors had culminated in this moment of triumph.
With this exhilarating realization, Luo Bingling's pout dissolved, replaced by a radiant smile. She clasped Ye Chen’s hand, intertwining it with her own lithe, slender waist. When he gently drew her closer, she offered no resistance. Instead, she met his gaze with a charming, coquettish glance before obediently lowering her head!
