Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 118

Chapter 118: The Terror of a Nascent Soul Ninth Revolution Beauty, Physical Body Perfection

Rumble!

Thunder roared, dark clouds gathered, and the sky seemed to have been pierced by a black hole. Torrential rain poured down, drenching Zhou Chen, who was beneath the forest canopy. Zhou Chen raised his head, enduring the relentless rain beating down on him, and gazed at the pitch-black night sky. It was like a bottomless black hole, or like a boundless abyss that devoured people.

He raised his hand and rubbed his rain-soaked hair. The strands clung together, a tangled mess, but Zhou Chen paid no mind. All he wanted now was to go home, to return to that warm home.

Zhou Chen exerted all his strength and charged towards home with his head down. However, he had only taken two steps when he stepped into a mire.

The mire was deep and thick, with no bottom in sight. Zhou Chen’s leg sank in more than halfway, and it was incredibly difficult to pull it out.

Zhou Chen didn’t give up and looked around.

Mountains flanked both sides, and there were only two paths forward and backward, both equally treacherous. Zhou Chen could only grit his teeth and push forward with all his might.

After a while.

Zhou Chen was sweating profusely. Rainwater mixed with sweat streamed down, but it still couldn’t dampen his enthusiasm for returning home.

“Add points!”

Zhou Chen spent 51,200 Romance Points to master the Unparalleled Divine Art, Unbounded Body, a movement technique that significantly boosted his strength.

Zhou Chen felt his legs become lighter and stronger, and his physical body strengthened slightly.

At this moment.

His entire leg was submerged in the mire, all the way to the root.

Zhou Chen mustered his strength, forcefully lifted his leg, and lunged forward, but he sank into the mire again, up to his hip.

He didn’t know how long this road was, but Zhou Chen believed he would eventually reach the end.

Every time his strength was exhausted and he felt utterly drained, Zhou Chen would add points to himself.

Unbounded Fist.

Formless Tribulation Finger.

World-Destroying Demonic Saber.

…

“This talent is truly…”

“Terrifying!”

Huangfu Yue Yao’s beautiful eyes widened, her ample bosom trembling slightly. She felt a sense of shock, as if her worldview had been overturned and her understanding shattered.

These were Unparalleled Divine Arts!

Zhou Chen mastered them as easily as eating and drinking. He was simply inhuman.

Actually, she didn’t mean to peek.

She was just curious about Hong Zhu and Zhou Chen’s reaction when she left, so she paid a little attention. However, before she could go far, Zhou Chen had already finished with Hong Zhu.

She couldn’t help but stop and witnessed the shocking scene of Zhou Chen practicing martial arts as easily as eating and drinking.

“Although Hong Zhu is a Nascent Soul Ninth Revolution expert, her help to Zhou Chen’s cultivation is immense. I didn’t expect it to be this great…”

Huangfu Yue Yao initially thought Zhou Chen’s special talent had a limit, but now it seemed that even if there was a limit, it was incredibly high.

“This talent might seem improper, even somewhat embarrassing, but it’s incredibly practical and powerful. It’s much stronger than those Saint Physiques…”

Huangfu Yue Yao was both surprised and delighted. She felt like she had found a treasure.

Those Saint Physiques did appear strong, but only in one aspect. Zhou Chen’s special talent might seem insignificant at first glance, but its auxiliary effect was practically heaven-defying.

“At this rate, Zhou Chen might be able to master all the remaining Unparalleled Divine Arts within a day. Fine, I’ll go borrow the Five Emperors Five Elements Art for him!”

Huangfu Yue Yao observed for a while, her face flushed red. She clamped her long, fair legs together and headed towards the Unbounded Sword Sect.

While Zhou Chen was ‘diligently’ cultivating, White Jade Capital, the largest pleasure district in North Mountain City, was bustling with activity.

Zhou Chen’s name became a topic of conversation among everyone in White Jade Capital.

Although Zhou Chen had just arrived in North Mountain City, he had already become a hot topic.

A country bumpkin.

Became Huangfu Yue Yao’s disciple.

Slept with Qing E Xian Zi, the top courtesan of White Jade Capital.

The patrons of White Jade Capital were envious and jealous of Zhou Chen, their hearts filled with resentment.

The courtesans of White Jade Capital were envious and jealous of Qing E Xian Zi, wishing they could take her place.

The sound of the guqin was melodious, like a heavenly tune.

Inside a private room on the sixth floor, Yu Jiao Xian Zi, one of the thirty-six top courtesans, sat behind a screen, playing the guqin. Several young men with extraordinary bearing sat facing each other.

“This Zhou Chen is from a humble background. He only started practicing martial arts at eighteen and rose to prominence relying on a flawed Yi’s Archery technique. He was taken in as a disciple by a small sect called Azure Cloud Sect in Qingyun Prefecture, Qingzhou!”

The speaker was a young man with a handsome face, holding a beauty fan and sporting a mole at the corner of his eye, giving him a somewhat bewitching appearance.

He was Dong Fang Bai, the direct descendant of the Dong Fang Family in North Mountain City. He was exceptionally talented and had already reached the Thirtieth Transformation of Body Refinement. He was a well-known young master in North Mountain City.

“I’m not sure about Zhou Chen’s exact cultivation level, but it’s definitely not higher than the Twentieth Transformation.”

Dong Fang Bai said.

Zhou Chen rarely used his Immortal Path cultivation, so they didn’t know he practiced both martial arts and cultivation.

“Not higher than the Twentieth Transformation? Even if we assume it’s the Fifteenth Transformation, Zhou Chen has only been cultivating for two and a half years, and he doesn’t have access to good resources. This cultivation speed is terrifying!”

Tang Hai Yang, the eldest young master of the Tang Family, raised an eyebrow, his eyes sweeping across the crowd as he played with two iron balls in his hand.
“Although our cultivation is higher than Zhou Chen’s, I doubt any of us could reach the Fifteenth Transformation or higher within two and a half years, right?”

Dong Fang Bai frowned, unable to refute.

Although he had reached the Thirtieth Transformation of Body Refinement, he had started cultivating at the age of three and was now twenty-nine years old, having cultivated for a full twenty-six years.

The resources he had consumed were far beyond what Zhou Chen could compare to.

“Could it be that Sect Master Huangfu took a fancy to Zhou Chen’s cultivation speed?”

Ye Chang An, the eldest young master of the Ye Family, interjected.
“I heard that Zhou Chen is quite lustful and always sleeps with ten women every time he visits a brothel. His fast cultivation might be related to women!”

“That guy must be practicing some kind of evil dual cultivation technique!”

Dong Fang Bai said indignantly, unable to accept that a mere country bumpkin was cultivating faster than him.

“Brother Dong Fang, be careful what you say.”

Ye Chang An shook his head.
“Sect Master Huangfu wouldn’t accept a disciple who practices evil dual cultivation techniques. I guess the reason why she gave Qing E Xian Zi to Zhou Chen is probably related to his special talent!”

“Hmph, so what if his cultivation is fast? I’ll see what he’s capable of during the sect entrance examination!”

Dong Fang Bai snorted coldly.

He had actually sent an invitation to Zhou Chen before, inviting him to meet, but Zhou Chen didn’t give him any face.

It wasn’t just Dong Fang Bai.

Zhou Chen didn’t even look at the invitations. In this extraordinary world where personal strength reigned supreme, as long as one had power, there was no need to bother with those tedious social obligations.

At least, those like Dong Fang Bai weren’t qualified for Zhou Chen to spend his time on.

The sun rose and set.

The commotion caused by Zhou Chen outside didn’t affect him in the slightest. He immersed himself in cultivation for an entire day.

Great Yi Divine Halberd, Qilin Tyrant Spear, Black Tortoise Divine Palm, True Dragon Nine Transformations…

Zhou Chen had mastered all nine Unparalleled Divine Arts of the Unbounded Sword Sect.

“Mastered!?”

“Mastered all nine Unparalleled Divine Arts!”

Hong Zhu’s heart was in turmoil. She hadn’t left Zhou Chen’s side and was fully aware of his progress, which was simply beyond her comprehension.

Except for Unbounded Sword, which Zhou Chen practiced with Qing E Xian Zi, the other eight Unparalleled Divine Arts, including Unbounded Body, were all mastered with her help.

She could say that she had personally witnessed Zhou Chen mastering eight Unparalleled Divine Arts, and it only took him less than a day.

Even with her assistance, Zhou Chen’s talent was monstrous.

Boom!

At this moment, a powerful aura surged from Zhou Chen’s body, and vast, profound Qi and blood emanated, transforming into a roaring true dragon.

After mastering the nine Unparalleled Divine Arts of the Unbounded Sword Sect, Zhou Chen spent some more Romance Points to master a few High-Level Martial Arts, pushing his cultivation to the Three Hundred and Sixty-Fifth Transformation, Great Perfection of Body Refinement. He had mastered a total of 366 martial arts techniques.

Now, Zhou Chen’s physical body had reached perfection.

It was like a sphere divided into 366 pieces, with each martial art representing one piece. When the last piece was put in place, it formed a perfect sphere, flawless and complete, a unified whole.

Zhou Chen’s entire body—his flesh, bones, blood, internal organs—all vibrated. The Myriad Forms Martial Canon governed all martial arts, and his physical body underwent a perfect transformation.

“Could this be the One Hundred and Eighth Transformation, Perfection Realm?”

Hong Zhu didn’t know that Zhou Chen had reached the Three Hundred and Sixty-Fifth Transformation, Great Perfection. After all, it was too incredible. She had never heard of anyone reaching that level.

Moreover, the One Hundred and Eighth Transformation was just a legend. She had never seen it.

She felt that Zhou Chen’s physical body was now no weaker than hers.

One must know that she was a Nascent Soul Ninth Revolution expert.

Body Refinement Realm was two major realms lower than Nascent Soul Realm, and each major realm represented an extreme transformation of the physical body.

She couldn’t imagine how monstrously terrifying Zhou Chen’s physical body would be if he reached Nascent Soul Realm.
“Is this the Three Hundred and Sixty-Fifth Transformation, Great Perfection?”

Zhou Chen felt incredibly refreshed, his entire body brimming with boundless strength. His body was perfectly harmonious, and he could easily control any part of it flawlessly.

That feeling was truly indescribable.

Especially after his physical body reached perfection, all the martial arts techniques he had mastered merged into one, truly becoming the Myriad Forms Martial Canon. All martial arts converged within him.

He could understand any martial art at a glance and master it instantly. His physique was even stronger than a Saint Physique.

“All martial arts under heaven are within my grasp. Who can stand against me?”

The feeling of reaching Great Perfection in Body Refinement was truly wonderful, beyond words.

At this moment, Zhou Chen felt that spending a year or two on Body Refinement was truly worth it.

He couldn’t imagine how strong he would be when he advanced to Divine Power Realm, or rather, considering his foundation, directly to Divine Sea Realm.

Instantly killing Nascent Soul Realm experts in Divine Sea Realm would be a piece of cake!
“Congratulations, Young Master, may your martial luck flourish. Your physical body has reached perfection, and the Great Dao awaits!”

Hong Zhu was overjoyed, her eyes filled with admiration and adoration.

Although Zhou Chen was younger and had a lower cultivation level than her, she was completely conquered by his talent at this moment.

“This is all thanks to Hong Zhu. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to cultivate to perfection!”

Zhou Chen lowered his head and kissed her deeply, sweet words flowing effortlessly from his lips.

Actually, Hong Zhu didn’t play a significant role in his physical body reaching perfection. He could have easily achieved it with or without her. But women, well, they just loved to hear sweet nothings.

“You flatter me, Young Master. This is all due to your exceptional talent and hard work!”

Hong Zhu’s heart was filled with sweetness. She felt like she had made a great contribution, a sense of pride and joy welling up within her.

“Hong Zhu, I need your help with my cultivation!”

Zhou Chen declared with boundless enthusiasm.

“I’m at your service, Young Master!”

Hong Zhu smiled sweetly, her face flushed red, her emotions overflowing, charming and alluring.

Zhou Chen flipped over and got on top of her.

Time flew by.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Zhou Chen didn’t step out of his room. With his cultivation, he wouldn’t be affected even if he didn’t eat or drink for ten days or half a month. As for Hong Zhu, with her Nascent Soul Ninth Revolution cultivation, she could already abstain from food. Whether she ate or not depended solely on her mood. She only needed to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

“That bastard, he’s not afraid of dying in Hong Zhu’s belly!”

Huangfu Yue Yao cursed inwardly. She had already borrowed the Five Emperors Five Elements Art, but Zhou Chen had been busy cultivating, and she didn’t want to disturb him.

However, that damn Zhou Chen was going on and on.

Today was the day of the Unbounded Sword Sect’s entrance examination.

Inside the room.

Zhou Chen was lying in Hong Zhu’s arms, sound asleep, smacking his lips from time to time, as if savoring some delicious food.

Hong Zhu’s beautiful eyes were gentle, her face flushed. She gazed at Zhou Chen with adoration, her eyes overflowing with love.

She had never felt so happy.

It turned out that there was another way to live besides cultivation.

“Young Master, wake up!”

Hong Zhu nudged Zhou Chen’s head. They had important matters to attend to today, and he couldn’t sleep in.

“Hmm!”

Zhou Chen opened his sleepy eyes. He had slept soundly, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He had also experienced the feeling of sweating profusely.

“Young Master, today is the sect entrance examination. We can’t be late!”

Hong Zhu reminded him.

“Okay!”

Zhou Chen stretched and slowly got out of bed.

Hong Zhu got up and casually wiped herself, then helped Zhou Chen get dressed.

“Sister Hong Zhu, you’re so beautiful!”

Zhou Chen gazed at Hong Zhu, who was helping him dress. Her two fair, long legs were pressed together, leaving no gap between them.

“Haven’t you seen enough?”

Hong Zhu teased, feeling Zhou Chen’s gaze. Thinking of Qing E Xian Zi’s appearance, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Are you disappointed, Young Master?”

“Yeah, I’ll definitely make you so happy you can’t close your mouth in the future!”

Hong Zhu rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen, her face even more flushed. He was such a rascal.

“I shouldn’t have come!”

Outside, Huangfu Yue Yao’s cheeks burned as she listened to Zhou Chen and Hong Zhu’s conversation.

She didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but their voices weren’t soft, and with her high cultivation, her ears and eyes were sharp.

She couldn’t help but hear.

Their words were too embarrassing.

Creak.

The door opened, and Zhou Chen strode out with a steady gait, full of vigor and confidence.

“Beautiful Master! Sect Master!”

Zhou Chen walked up to Huangfu Yue Yao and Qing Yu Yao, who were waiting for him.

Qing E Xian Zi stood respectfully by the side, feeling a great sense of crisis in her heart.

But Hong Zhu was too strong an opponent.

“Here’s the Five Emperors Five Elements Art you wanted!”

Huangfu Yue Yao tossed a secret manual to Zhou Chen, saying grumpily, “I would have given it to you earlier, but who knew you were having so much fun!”

Zhou Chen touched his nose, feeling a little awkward, but he quickly started reading.

“Let’s go, we can read while we walk!”

Huangfu Yue Yao summoned a flying boat. Zhou Chen, Hong Zhu, Qing Yu Yao, and Qing E Xian Zi boarded the boat and headed towards Unbounded Mountain.

The Unbounded Sword Sect’s entrance examination wasn’t held in North Mountain City but at the Outer Sect Martial Arts Examination Grounds in Unbounded Mountain.

Zhou Chen looked at the Five Emperors Five Elements Art. This cultivation method could be considered as one or five separate arts: White Emperor Metal Emperor Art, Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art, Black Emperor Water Emperor Art, Red Emperor Fire Emperor Art, and Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Art.

The first level of the Five Emperors Five Elements Art corresponded to Qi Refinement Realm.

The second level corresponded to Foundation Establishment Realm.

The third level corresponded to Golden Core Realm.

【Five Emperors Five Elements Art, First Level（0/5,000,000）】

“As expected, it requires quite a lot of Romance Points!”

Zhou Chen wasn’t surprised. The Five Emperors Five Elements Art cultivated all five elements simultaneously, which was equivalent to five powerful cultivation methods.

Now, his speed of earning Romance Points had skyrocketed.

On the first day with Hong Zhu, due to the First Blood bonus, Zhou Chen’s Romance Points surged by two million. In the following seven days, he earned one million per day.

In these eight days, Zhou Chen had earned a total of nine million Romance Points from Hong Zhu alone.

Now, Zhou Chen’s Romance Points had exceeded forty million.

“Once the examination is over, I can start breaking through like crazy!”

Zhou Chen was filled with anticipation.

After the examination, he could advance to Divine Sea Realm, then cultivate the Five Emperors Five Elements Art. Once he mastered the second level of the Five Emperors Five Elements Art, he could advance to Golden Core Realm and forge a Perfect Golden Core.

“After I break through, I’ll go and destroy the Blazing Dragon Valley!”

Zhou Chen’s heart hardened. Weeds must be eradicated, or they would grow back with the spring breeze. He didn’t have the strength before, but after his breakthrough, it would be more than enough.

Especially with that Myriad Forms Divine Weapon of his. The Blazing Dragon Valley must be thinking about getting it back. They hadn’t publicized the weapon’s power yet.

Others only thought that Zhou Chen had snatched a powerful divine weapon from the Blazing Dragon Valley.

The Blazing Dragon Valley was a renowned weapon-forging sect. It wasn’t surprising for them to have a powerful divine weapon.

However, once the Blazing Dragon Valley realized they couldn’t retrieve the weapon, they would definitely publicize the power of the Myriad Forms Divine Weapon, prompting everyone to target Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen had to eliminate them before that happened.

Collecting his thoughts, Zhou Chen returned the Five Emperors Five Elements Art to Huangfu Yue Yao.

Putting away the cultivation method, Huangfu Yue Yao explained to Zhou Chen, “The Unbounded Sword Sect recruits disciples once every ten years. Those under thirty years old and whose cultivation hasn’t surpassed Body Refinement Realm are eligible. Each time, we only accept nine True Inheritance Disciples, ninety-nine Inner Sect Disciples, and nine hundred and ninety-nine Outer Sect Disciples…”

Hearing such a small number of spots, Zhou Chen couldn’t help but think it was truly a fierce competition.

North Mountain Path had a population of trillions.

He didn’t know how many disciples participated in each examination, but those who could join the Unbounded Sword Sect were truly few and far between, all geniuses among geniuses.

It was even harder than getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University!
Of course.

Apart from the grand recruitment every ten years, if there were exceptionally talented disciples, they would also be specially recruited into the Unbounded Sword Sect.

However, such individuals needed to be exceptionally talented, like Zhao Han Yi, for whom the Sect Master personally took them in as disciples.

Zhou Chen’s group arrived at the foot of Unbounded Mountain. Ahead of them lay the towering and endless Unbounded Mountain Range.

Looking up, they could faintly see above the clouds, at the peak of the immortal mountain, magnificent buildings that resembled heavenly palaces.

“Truly magnificent and awe-inspiring!”

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly, but soon he would be living up there too.

Becoming a True Inheritance Disciple granted one a mountain peak.

Becoming the Sword Son granted one an immortal mountain.

“I’ll escort you here. You can start from the first stage. I’ll be waiting for you up there!”

Huangfu Yue Yao said.

“Don’t worry, Beautiful Master, watch my performance!”

Zhou Chen smiled. Now that his physical body had reached perfection, who under heaven could be his match?

“Okay!”

Huangfu Yue Yao waved her hand, and Zhou Chen was sent down, while she steered the flying boat upwards.

Zhou Chen landed and headed towards the crowd ahead.

There was a sea of people, all wanting to participate in the examination.

However, the first stage would eliminate ninety-nine percent of them.

The Unbounded Sword Sect’s formation master had set up a grand formation here. It could detect the age of the examinees and then conjure opponents based on their age as a standard.

Only by defeating the opponent could one pass the first stage.

“Truly a gathering of geniuses!”

Zhou Chen’s Qi Observation Technique had reached the third level. With a glance, he could see that all these young men under thirty were at least at the Tenth Transformation of Body Refinement.

They would be considered top True Inheritance Disciples in the Azure Cloud Sect.

But many of them wouldn’t even pass the first stage of the Unbounded Sword Sect’s examination.

There was no other way.

The Unbounded Sword Sect had a limited number of recruits, so the examination was naturally demanding, with extremely high requirements. This was also to concentrate resources on the top geniuses.

In the world of cultivation, it wasn’t about quantity but quality.

A single peerless expert could suppress everything.

“I thought I was a genius, but after coming here, I realized that geniuses are everywhere…”

A young man in his twenties, at the Fifteenth Transformation of Body Refinement, had a dejected look in his eyes. Feeling the powerful auras around him, he no longer had the confidence he had when he first arrived.

He came from Donglong Prefecture in Yunzhou and was a peerless prodigy of a major sect there, equivalent to the top True Inheritance Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.

But after coming here, he realized he was nothing.

“Who isn’t a prodigy here!”

Zhou Chen shook his head inwardly. He was also the number one prodigy of the Azure Cloud Sect.

He suddenly felt like he was in college.

In high school, he was among the top three in his grade and had a sense of superiority and pride. But when he went to college, he realized that everyone was a top student from their respective high schools, and their college entrance exam scores were no weaker than his.

The prodigies from the nine provinces and seventy-two prefectures of North Mountain Path were gathered here. Ordinary geniuses could only blend in with the crowd.

This was also the reason why the True Inheritance Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect didn’t come to participate.

They knew their chances were slim.

Besides, it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

It was better to be a True Inheritance Disciple in their own sect and eventually become a Peak Master or even the Sect Master, living a carefree life, than to come to the Unbounded Sword Sect and become an Outer Sect Disciple or even a miscellaneous duties disciple, right?

Dong! Dong!

The sound of a bell reverberated, like a morning and evening bell awakening people. A figure stood in the void, and a powerful voice resounded throughout the area.
“The Unbounded Sword Sect’s once-a-decade entrance examination now begins!”
