Qingyi raised an eyebrow in surprise at that question.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t expected her to imagine that the reason his power was so great was because of a bloodline.
That was quite obvious.
He had even used his draconic eyes in front of her.
Although it wasn’t one of his most obvious abilities, it still wasn’t something that would go unnoticed by an expert of her level.
He simply hadn’t expected that particular question.
"That’s a secret that only my wives can know... I can tell the master if she’s willing to call me husband." Qingyi laughed, drawing an annoyed grunt from Qingxue.
"Ugh... we’re leaving for the scarlet dragon competition tomorrow. Be at the sect leader’s palace at dawn." The silver-haired beauty turned her flushed face away.
With one smooth movement, she disappeared into thin air.
"Ah..." Qingyi shook his head.
He hadn’t slept with his master even once since he took away her purity.
Soon after that, she became even colder and more distant, even refusing to touch him and using her sword instead of her hands when she needed to correct a posture.
He couldn’t deny that he was uncomfortable with this, but fortunately, she soon recovered, slowly opening up to him more.
Qingyi was really missing that tight pussy, but he didn’t force anything either.
’Ruxue,’ he called out in his mind. ’How’s the energy in your world of the mind? Do you think it’s all ready for the girls?’
’I think so. I’ve reduced its size to just a thousand square kilometers. It should be enough for all my priestesses, but it can’t support anyone above your level.
You would need to advance to the Iron Body realm for Yunfei to enter as well."
"I see..." Qingyi scratched his chin.
He had enough lust points to be able to advance smoothly to the Iron Body realm and his base wasn’t too bad either.
He just wanted to avoid arousing too much suspicion.
’System, can the three-bladed monarch set hide my advance to the iron body realm?’ he asked.
[Provided you don’t fight with all your might, yes.]
That answer immediately drew a smile from the handsome young man who immediately returned to the cultivation room.
He didn’t hesitate, clicking away to improve his cultivation level.
It was finally time for him to reach the Iron Body Realm, a realm that was only a dream for the vast majority of cultivators in the outer region of the Blue Moon Continent.
[Initiating cultivation breakthrough.]
Following the system’s warning, he immediately felt his body being seized by intense pain.
As its name made clear, the Iron Body Realm was a realm that focused mainly on physical strengthening.
The bones and internal organs were strengthened enough to survive a free fall at hundreds of kilometers per hour and the skin was made tough enough to withstand sword attacks.
All this without even needing to use Qi.
Unlike other breakthroughs, where the Qi was focused on the dantian, the Qi was drawn from Qingyi’s Dantian, moving towards his muscles, skin and bones, slowly destroying and repairing them.
Qingyi’s pained grunts lasted for long minutes before he was finally able to let his body fall to the ground, sighing with relief.
[[Your cultivation has increased! Ninth stage of the golden core realm -> first stage of the iron body realm].
Standing up, he smiled softly.
He was now officially halfway to transcendence.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to test his new power.
It was time to introduce the priestesses to their new home!
After that, he could finally go to the scarlet dragon competition.
’I still haven’t forgotten...’ he thought, his eyes shining with murderous intent as he remembered a young master who had escaped his hands because of an artifact.
Given the power of young master Shen at that time, Qingyi doubted very much that he would take part in the competition, but even so, there was a small chance.
And even if he didn’t, there was still one beauty of the Serene Cloud Sect that he hadn’t forgotten too.

It was a quiet afternoon in the temple of the lightning spirit.
As soon as Yunfei had become an honorary elder of the sect, the place had been filled with curious eyes.
Fortunately, they never got more than a few kilometers before they were driven away by Yunfei’s powerful aura and after she killed a few more bold ones, no one dared disturb them again.
"Girls, it’s time for afternoon snack! You can stop training!" Elize shouted to the beauties who were being instructed by Yunfei.
Their swords sliced the air in beautiful, elegant patterns, their voluptuous, sweaty bodies swaying with every movement.
Elize’s voice immediately interrupted them, their eyes shining as they ran towards the purple-haired busty woman.
"Uh?" One of them raised her head, looking towards the horizon.
Beyond the gates, they saw a handsome, solitary figure approaching.
"It’s the husband!"
It wasn’t long before Qingyi found himself surrounded by animated beauties, embracing him and seeking as much of his touch as possible.
He raised his head, looking at Elize, Yueli and Yunfei.
"I missed you, husband!" Yueli spoke, finally making space between her sisters, Elize and Yunfei coming soon after.
Qingyi just welcomed them into his embrace, taking his time to take each of their lips before finally asking for a little space.
"I have something to show you." He smiled at them as he drew his heaven-defying thunder sword.
An intense glow filled the temple as the sword trembled in Qingyi’s hands.
"Husband... what’s that?" Yunfei asked, confused.
"Just touch the sword, I promise it’s a pleasant surprise."
Although hesitant, Yunfei still stepped forward, touching the sword.
The next moment, a powerful force appeared, sucking her and all the priestesses in as the space around them distorted.
Closing her eyes, Qingyi also entered the world of Ruxue’s mind. Unlike the girls whose entire bodies had been transported, Qingyi could only send his mind here, creating a copy of his body.
But that was more than enough for him to do everything he needed to do.
