The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 986 - Beyond the need for money

"Ah… don't even remind me about that woman." Tianjin shuddered, the tea cup stopping halfway to his lips.

She had been his ancestor's wife and, in a way, was his ancestor as well.

Obviously, he knew her well, and he knew she was in seclusion at the Myriad Beasts Sect.

Tianjin held her in the highest regard, even though his own lineage came from another wife of the first Immortal Golden Dragon Emperor.

"She isn't the least bit interested in the Heavenly Demon, nor in any matter related to the peace of the Celestial Heaven. The only thing she desires is to see the Celestial Court shattered and her child set free."

Tianjin waved his hand as if dismissing the subject and set his cup down on the table.

Tilting a teapot, he poured a little more tea, the steam rising in thin wisps that curled upward before dissipating into the air.

Qingyi pushed his own cup forward, receiving a little tea as well.

"I promised her I'd do everything I could to return her child," Qingyi remarked. "Only after killing the Heavenly Demon, though."

"That's enough to get that old monster to fight by our side. She has no way of facing the Celestial Court, but you're different." Tianjin took a sip of his tea and let out a satisfied sigh.

The matriarch of the Myriad Beasts Sect was a powerful figure, hailing from the same era as Tianjin's ancestor.

Tianjin was confident he could defeat her, but even so, she was no force to be ignored.

If the Heavenly Demon himself weren't in the battle, she'd likely be able to hold an entire front line on her own.

"If you want, we can just celebrate Lingxi's birthday and postpone the wedding with Yuehan and Qianyao. They're smart women. They'll understand."

"I know they will, but haven't you already spent too much money organizing all this?" Qingyi raised an eyebrow, slowly twirling the cup between his fingers.

"I heard that even the greatest banquet hall decorator in all of Celestial Heaven was hired, both for Lingxi's birthday and for the wedding. That can't have been cheap."

"It wasn't, hahaha!" Tianjin laughed, slapping his palm against his knee. "But, honestly, I'm already beyond the need for money."

He wasn't exaggerating.

He had amassed so much wealth that he could literally destroy the entire Celestial Orthodox Martial Alliance, rebuild it from scratch, and still have enough left over to fund its operations for the next hundred thousand years.

That was the extent of the fortune belonging to Tianjin and his family.

"Anyway, we'll go ahead with the ceremony on the agreed date." Qingyi took a sip of tea, the warmth settling in his chest. "Once we're done, I'll focus entirely on my cultivation. The Heavenly Demon can't stay alive much longer."

Since that was Qingyi's final decision, Tianjin didn't question him.

He simply nodded and refilled both cups.

The two continued talking for another brief moment.

The conversation soon moved beyond casual topics to more complicated matters.

Troop training, the movements of the demonic forces, the protection of Qingyi's wives, and, of course, his seclusion.

This was a major issue for the entire Celestial Heaven, and all the great powers wanted to know about it.

Qingyi's attainment of the Celestial Emperor Realm would be one of the greatest trump cards against the demons, no less significant than Akane, whose existence had already become public knowledge.

Soon, Tianjin would hold a meeting with the leaders of the major sects and great families to decide how to provide all the resources Qingyi would need for his upcoming seclusion.

If they knew the young dragon intended to seclude himself and attain the Celestial Emperor Realm without even touching their resources, they would most certainly be deeply shocked.

After a little over an hour of conversation with Tianjin, Qingyi finally departed.

He went to see his wives and spent some time playing with Lingxi, listening to her laughter echo through the courtyard as the little girl ran between his legs, her small hands grabbing at his robes whenever he pretended to lose his balance.

Shortly afterward, he headed straight for a cultivation chamber that had been personally prepared for him.

It was the ancestral cultivation chamber of the Celestial Orthodox Martial Alliance.

Only Tianjin was permitted to use it, and many would say it was powerful enough to withstand the process of transcendence and ascension beyond the Celestial Emperor Realm.

Of course, to many in the Celestial Heaven, the very existence of anything beyond the Celestial Emperor Realm was merely a legend, even though Akane's existence essentially proved otherwise.

As soon as the heavy door closed behind him with a muffled thud, Qingyi felt the density of the Qi around him. It was far superior to anything he had ever felt in his life.

Even the most advanced cultivation chambers in the world of the mind delivered, at most, half of that.

He took a deep breath, filling his lungs with the heavy air, a slight tingling spreading through his chest as it settled inside him.

He sat in the lotus position, letting his shoulders relax and his mind gradually quiet down.

He wasn't there for a relaxed cultivation session. He was going to push his constitution and body to the limit, advancing without pause.

He wasn't worried about a weak foundation.

Perhaps in the future, when he reached the land of the true gods, this might become a problem, but even there, his constitution and lineage were far too powerful.

Qingyi closed his eyes, steadied his breathing, and then moved his Qi.

The surrounding Qi responded immediately, swirling slowly toward him as if drawn by a tide, the current brushing against his skin and causing his robes to flutter slightly.

He opened the system store, spent over ten million G Lust Points on cultivation pills, and swallowed them all at once.

A fierce heat exploded in his stomach, spreading through his veins like fire and racing toward his limbs.

It was time to reach the Celestial Emperor Realm.
