As Yu Hua spoke these words, it was both a compromise and an implicit acknowledgment of her earlier intention to intervene. At this moment, Yu Hua was so embarrassed that she wished she could be reborn all over again. Among Great Ascension cultivators, living in such a humble state as hers was probably a first, right? She never intended for things to turn out this way! But the truth was, after constantly watching and listening, her mind and body had become… strange. And most importantly, she had to face the fact that she was indeed envious of the yang energy that Junior Sister Zhou had received. If she had absorbed all of it, the golden pages would likely have been able to deduce a complete immortal technique by now.
However, despite Yu Hua’s humble plea, Ning Chen remained unmoved. “Sorry, but it’s not up to you!” Ning Chen had also noticed that this ancient Great Ascension cultivator before him had an extreme aversion to anyone standing behind her, which heightened her sensitivity. This wouldn’t do. He had to help her desensitize. As a cultivator, how could she have such an obvious weakness? Whether on the shelf, in the open space, or finally on the bed, no matter how the position changed, Ning Chen always chose to keep the young girl in front of him.
“How about it? Do you like it from behind?”
“I don’t!” (through gritted teeth)
“How about now? Do you like it?”
“Ah! No, I don’t!” (in a tearful voice)
“Wuwu! I… I like it! Stop!” (breaking down)
“What do you like? Speak up, I can’t hear you!”
“From behind! I like it! Ah! Stop!” (breaking down + tearful)
Inside the jade pendant, Aunt Qing could no longer maintain her composure and gentleness as she watched this scene unfold. The progress of repairing the Qing Emperor Cauldron had stopped at 80%! Now that it was being hijacked, what was she supposed to do? Looking at the short-haired girl who was clearly enjoying herself but pretending to endure, Aunt Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful. After being bound and restricted for countless years, she had long forgotten what it felt like to have a real body. If she could, she would have shaken Xiao Qin awake and made her struggle a bit more.
After an hour and a half, Ning Chen had successfully replicated everything of value from Yu Hua.
Just as Ning Chen put down the limp girl, he heard this prompt. His sword-like brows furrowed slightly as he silently asked, “After sublimation, will the things I’ve replicated still exist after I leave seclusion?”
“I see,” Ning Chen understood. This was a good thing! Of course, he would fuse them!
Ning Chen focused his mind and opened the panel. Seeing the endless list, he couldn’t help but acknowledge the system’s proposal. In just a few years since binding with the system, he had accumulated so many things. As for what to choose as the foundation, there was no need to think twice.Ning Chen did not hesitate and chose the one that had accompanied him the most and was also his lifeline—the Supreme Yang Holy Body.
Since the replicated abilities had already been influenced by the higher-quality Supreme Yang Holy Body, the system soon responded again.
Hearing the system’s voice, Ning Chen looked at the panel again, which had now been completely refreshed.
(Fusing different talents, physiques, and divine abilities into the Supreme Yang Dao Body can accumulate and increase the daily seclusion experience cap.)
(Note: Each time you leave seclusion, the system will enter a 1,000-year dormancy period.)
Ning Chen nodded. The panel was finally much cleaner. Moreover, the Supreme Yang Dao Body’s ability to increase experience accumulation by an additional one-tenth was incredibly satisfying. However, the newly generated Bestowal talent was a bit of a wildcard. It turned him into a lottery machine? Ning Chen pondered slightly. This talent had no direct use for him, but in the long term, its impact could not be underestimated. While it was called a bestowal, it was essentially a copy-paste. The abilities he had already fused would not be diminished in the slightest.
Now that seclusion had bonuses, Ning Chen would not casually leave seclusion. The Green Lotus Sect would become his base for self-improvement. If he could help those female cultivators who were beautiful but of ordinary talent to gain benefits, the sect’s overall strength would skyrocket. With strength came fame, which would attract more women to join the Green Lotus Sect. Perhaps there would even be outstanding newcomers like Duanmu Yao, Zhou Qin, or Yu Hua—or even those with protagonist-level templates! Even if not, rare talents like Nangong Ling, who possessed gold-quality abilities, would be invaluable assets.
This was the path Ning Chen had decided to take. At the moment of successful fusion and sublimation, a thought naturally arose in his heart:
Integrate the Ten Thousand Laws of the World, I Am the Great Dao!!!
