Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Celestial Desire Restaurant, Jian Xiong’s Breakthrough, Eighty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations

Great Qian Imperial Palace.

Dragon Transformation Pool.

The pool water was dense with steam, vast and misty, with a hazy spiritual fog. A slender figure with curvaceous lines and a graceful silhouette sat cross-legged in the pool.

Jian Xiong’s beautiful hair danced, black and shiny. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, as bright as the divine moon, her skin as radiant as pearls. She looked like a celestial fairy who had mistakenly fallen into the mortal world.

Her graceful body was lithe and curvaceous.

The aura around her had already reached the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, far surpassing ordinary peak Divine Sea Realm experts. As light flowed around her, a domineering and chilling aura spread.

At this moment.

Jian Xiong, whose aura had reached its peak, seemed to break through some kind of barrier. Her momentum suddenly surged, causing the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool to churn violently.

The bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Realm was instantly shattered like paper under Jian Xiong’s vast and profound foundation.

The boundless divine power in her Divine Sea condensed, transforming into a Nascent Soul.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds in the sky changed.

Outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, a mature and voluptuous figure suddenly opened her eyes. Her immortal beauty was not revealed, her jade-like figure half-hidden, but her power was boundless. A hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

“Xiong Er has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm!”

Yao Ji’s immortal body swayed, her skin as white as jade, shimmering with a radiant glow. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, a smile that could launch a thousand ships.

Swish, swish, swish.

One figure after another appeared outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Heaven’s Pride Tower.

On the mountaintop, inside a courtyard house, Zhou Chen held Qing Yu Yao in his arms, kissing the side of her fair neck.

“Sect Master Senior Aunt, you’re quite sharp, aren’t you?”

“You!”

Qing Yu Yao glared at Zhou Chen, too embarrassed to speak.

This little rascal was truly shameless.

All he did all day was bully her.

“Hmm, Sect Master Senior Aunt, why do I feel like you’ve gotten bigger!?”

“Say another word and I’ll bite you to death!”

Qing Yu Yao was mortified and glared fiercely at Zhou Chen.

With the way you play.

How could it not grow?

Besides, you eat it every day!
You say it’s for strength?
Strength my ass!
“Bite me to death? Hong Zhu would be more convincing saying that!”

Zhou Chen glanced at Hong Zhu meaningfully.

“I really want to kill you!”

Qing Yu Yao glanced at Hong Zhu, who was usually the most talkative but now silent.

Only because Hong Zhu couldn’t speak, her mouth was occupied.

“Zhou Chen, come out and fight!”

At this moment, a powerful, resonant voice, as loud as the roar of a dragon and elephant, swept in from outside.

“Damn!”

Zhou Chen jolted and cursed:

“What kind of barbarian is that, doesn’t he know about noise pollution?”

“Cough, cough!”

Hong Zhu seemed to be startled by the sudden roar as well.

Frightened.

“I’ll go out and see!”

Zhou Chen let go of the Sect Master Senior Aunt and stood up, wiping his hand on Qing Yu Yao’s dress.

“You little rascal!”

Qing Yu Yao’s face flushed red as she shot Zhou Chen a glare.

“Sect Master Senior Aunt, this is called ‘taking from the people and using it for the people.’ Surely you’re not disgusted, are you?”

Zhou Chen chuckled, adjusted his belt, and strode out of the hall.

“Rogue!”

Qing Yu Yao circulated her energy to dry her dress and straightened her skirt. Seeing the blush on Hong Zhu’s lips and face, she cursed inwardly.

Hong Zhu licked her lips and suddenly smiled.
“Sister Yu Yao, want to try it next time?”

“No way!”

The two followed out of the hall, chasing after Zhou Chen.

Creak!

The courtyard gate opened, and Zhou Chen stepped out. He immediately felt a huge shadow looming over him.

“So big!”

This was the first time Zhou Chen had seen such a tall and burly person. What did he eat to grow so big?

He had reached the peak of Body Refinement, with a powerful and perfect physique, tall and straight. But in front of this 4-meter-tall giant, he seemed rather petite.

“You’re Zhou Chen?”

Zhao Long Xiang looked down at Zhou Chen, his voice booming like a bell.

“Indeed!”

As he spoke, Zhou Chen punched Zhao Long Xiang in the stomach.

Boom!
It was like a meteor hitting Earth, a terrifying force erupting where Zhou Chen’s fist met Zhao Long Xiang’s stomach. Even steel would have been instantly pulverized.

Zhao Long Xiang’s tall and sturdy body arched like a shrimp and flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through eighteen rock gardens in a row before finally crashing into a stone wall, leaving a large human-shaped crater.

Whoa!
The onlookers were stunned.

They hadn’t expected Zhou Chen to strike so quickly and suddenly. Not only did they not react in time, neither did Zhao Long Xiang.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent flying so easily.

“You sneak attacked!”

The stone wall exploded, revealing Zhao Long Xiang’s bare upper body, his strong bronze skin exposed. He was furious.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Chen to be so dishonorable.

To resort to a sneak attack.

He had been caught off guard, and Zhou Chen’s punch was too fast.

He hadn’t had time to defend himself before being sent flying.

Boom!
Debris flew, leaving a large pit in the ground. Zhao Long Xiang leaped up, his five fingers clenched into a fist that smashed down toward Zhou Chen’s head like a mountain.

The fist wind howled like a real dragon roaring and a divine elephant trumpeting.

Before the fist arrived, the domineering and heavy fist intent and momentum had already descended.

With Zhou Chen at the center, the ground sank a foot within a radius of ten meters.

Zhou Chen stood tall and rooted, unmoving, completely unaffected by the fist intent and momentum. He met the fist with his palm.

As their fist and palm collided, Zhao Long Xiang felt a terrifying force within Zhou Chen’s palm, even stronger than his Dragon Elephant Divine Body.

It was unbelievable.

What surprised him even more was that after withstanding his punch, Zhou Chen didn’t retreat in the slightest. Instead, he transformed his palm into a claw, grabbing his fist.

The transformation from palm to claw was seamless and flawless.

A tremendous force surged along his arm. Zhao Long Xiang’s body trembled as Zhou Chen pulled him forward, his elbow striking toward his chest.

Zhao Long Xiang was shocked. He blocked with his left hand but was sent flying again. His blood surged. If not for the resilience of his Dragon Elephant Divine Body, he would have been injured.

“So strong!”

Before coming, he had received detailed information about Zhou Chen, knowing that he possessed the unparalleled movement technique Roaming Dragon Treading on Kun, making him exceptionally fast.

His sword technique, Heaven-Supporting Sword, was even sharper, invincible!
He hadn’t expected Zhou Chen’s fist and foot techniques to be so terrifying as well.

In their brief exchange.

Zhou Chen was like a perfect killing machine, flawless in every way.

He excelled at overwhelming opponents with brute force.

Yet his own strength, which he had always been proud of, was ruthlessly crushed by Zhou Chen.

“Again!”

Zhao Long Xiang’s blood boiled with fighting spirit.

He didn’t use any weapons, continuing to fight with his fists and feet.

Their fists collided with a thud.

The intense clash excited the countless geniuses watching, making them eager to join in.

But reason told them.

If they were grazed by Zhou Chen or Zhao Long Xiang’s fist or foot, they would be injured. If they were hit directly, they would die, and their bodies wouldn’t even be intact.

“They’re monsters!”

“So terrifying!”

“Too strong!”

Countless geniuses felt utterly defeated, their minds shaken.

Dong Fang Bu Bai held his sword, his eyes narrowed slightly:

“I thought Zhou Chen excelled in movement and sword techniques, but I didn’t expect his physique and fist and foot techniques to be so terrifying as well. He’s clearly dominating Zhao Long Xiang!”

He had thought he had made great progress, but others were not slowing down either.

However, although Zhao Long Xiang and Zhou Chen seemed to be fighting fiercely, neither of them had truly used their ultimate moves. They were merely exchanging blows with their physical bodies.

“Hahaha, this is great!”

Zhao Long Xiang laughed heartily. Although he had been beaten up by Zhou Chen the entire time, this kind of intense and exhilarating battle was also incredibly satisfying!
Zhou Chen was also enjoying himself. His strength had surged, but he hadn’t had many opportunities to fight. Ordinary people were easily defeated by him.

But Zhao Long Xiang was strong, at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, with the Dragon Elephant Divine Body. He was very resilient, like a nimble punching bag!
It was incredibly satisfying to fight him!

Half an hour later.

They stopped fighting. Zhou Chen was still composed, his clothes not even ruffled.

Zhao Long Xiang was bruised and swollen, his blood boiling. His back was a mass of red, as if a dragon and elephant had condensed there. He roared toward the sky!

“Young Master, are you alright?”

A beautiful woman in red approached Zhao Long Xiang, wiping his forehead with a silk handkerchief, her face full of concern:
“Only I care about Young Master!”

As her sugary voice faded, a beautiful woman in black draped a robe over Zhao Long Xiang’s shoulders. Although she didn’t speak, it was a clear slap in the face to the woman in red.

The corner of Zhou Chen’s mouth twitched, his gaze shifting between the three of them with a strange expression.

This 4-meter-tall… Young Master?

And two stunningly beautiful maidservants who were both at the Divine Seed Realm!

The two women were not short, standing at least 1.8 meters tall, but they seemed incredibly petite in front of Zhao Long Xiang.

They had to stand on their toes to wipe Zhao Long Xiang’s sweat and put on his robe.

“I know A Zhu and A Mo are the best!”

Zhao Long Xiang wrapped his arms, thick as tree trunks, around the voluptuous waists of the two women, nuzzling his head against them, one on each side, with a silly grin. He seemed completely oblivious to the strange looks from those around him.

However, sensing Zhou Chen’s gaze, Zhao Long Xiang released the two women and walked over to Zhou Chen, laughing heartily:
“That was exhilarating! I consider you a brother now!”

He casually patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder with a force that must have been at least 50,000 kilograms.

An ordinary person would have been sent to meet their ancestors.

But Zhou Chen knew that Zhao Long Xiang hadn’t used his full strength.

“Although brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes, I can’t let you play with A Zhu and A Mo. Come on, let’s go to Jade Immortal Restaurant, my treat!”

Zhao Long Xiang slung his arm around Zhou Chen’s shoulder familiarly.

“He’s an interesting character.”

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

He hadn’t expected that after beating him up, they would become brothers.

Perhaps this was what they called ‘fighting to become friends’?

“This Zhao Long Xiang may seem simple-minded and impulsive, but he’s actually quite clever. He’s rough on the outside but refined on the inside.”

This was Zhou Chen’s assessment of Zhao Long Xiang.

He didn’t refuse the offer.

He had been cooped up for so long, it wouldn’t hurt to go to Jade Immortal Restaurant and have some fun.

“Let’s go, we’ll come too and support our Young Master!”

Hong Zhu pulled Qing Yu Yao along as they followed Zhou Chen.

A Zhu and A Mo followed behind Zhao Long Xiang.

Zhao Long Xiang had been taken to the Dragon Elephant Sect to be raised since he was a child. The two women were originally his wet nurses. As Zhao Long Xiang grew up, they, who were at the Nascent Soul Realm back then, had also advanced to the Divine Seed Realm.

Now they were not just his wet nurses.

Although Zhao Long Xiang still hadn’t been weaned, they had also become his women.

“Xiao Long, you’re so big, aren’t you afraid of crushing those girls?”

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Long Xiang’s 4-meter-tall frame, still feeling a little uncomfortable. He had to levitate slightly to avoid having to look up at him when they spoke.

“Don’t call me Xiao Long! Call me Brother Long, Brother Xiang, or Brother Long Xiang!”

Zhao Long Xiang glared at Zhou Chen, protesting:

“Do you want me to show you and scare you to death?”

“Alright, Xiao Long!” “.”

Zhao Long Xiang was so angry he could gnash his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He changed the subject:

“Let me tell you, brother, women are very powerful!”

“Their hearts are vast and all-encompassing!”

Zhou Chen nodded in agreement:
“No matter how strong he is, the gentle breeze still caresses the mountain.”

“Exactly! Cultured people speak differently!”

This Zhao Long Xiang had clearly done his homework. He knew everything about Zhou Chen, including his fondness for brothels and his literary talent.

If you truly thought this big guy was a fool, then you were the real fool.

“Just like this hollow rubber band, the harder you pull, the tighter it gets, the bigger you are, the bigger it gets!”

Zhao Long Xiang held a thick rubber band, inserting one finger into it, then two, three, four…

“Xiao Long, you’ve done your research, haven’t you?”

“Of course!”

……

“Two rogues!”

Qing Yu Yao cursed inwardly.

The six of them moved quickly, but the capital was vast. It took them half an hour to reach Jade Immortal Restaurant.

Jade Immortal Restaurant, similar to Heaven’s Pride Tower, was a celestial mountain covered in jade palaces, pavilions, and towers, with lakes, pleasure boats, extravagant feasts, and breathtaking beauty.

The sounds of music and revelry filled the air.

Jade Immortal Restaurant was also known as Celestial Desire Restaurant.

Once you entered Jade Immortal, you would feel like you were floating in the heavens.

It would make you feel like you were in heaven.

Its grandeur and luxury surpassed even White Jade Capital in North Mountain City.

“I heard you single-handedly conquered a whole building in White Jade Capital, brother. Let’s see who’s better today!”

Zhao Long Xiang patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder.

As they joked, they arrived at Jade Immortal Restaurant, attracting countless gazes.

“He’s so huge!”

“He doesn’t look human!”

“Isn’t that Zhao Long Xiang, the Holy Son of the Dragon Elephant Sect, ranked second on the Prodigy Ranking?”

“I heard Zhao Long Xiang was born with the Dragon Elephant Divine Body, possessing boundless strength. Just look at his massive frame, the girls at Jade Immortal Restaurant are going to suffer!”

“Who’s the guy next to him? He’s able to walk shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Long Xiang, he must be someone important!”

“I know him. He’s Zhou Chen, the newly risen Holy Son of the Unbounded Sword Sect, ranked ninth on the Prodigy Ranking!”

“It’s him!”

“I heard he was born a hunter, started practicing martial arts at eighteen, rose to prominence in the Azure Cloud Sect, joined the Unbounded Sword Sect, condensed the Great Dao Nascent Soul, and has become famous throughout the Great Qian Dynasty in just three years!”

“I heard Zhou Chen also has a special physique, something to do with women. The more special the woman, the faster his cultivation increases!”

“I want that kind of talent!”

“What man wouldn’t?”

“I heard Zhou Chen single-handedly conquered White Jade Capital in North Mountain City. Now that he’s here with Zhao Long Xiang, I wonder if the girls at Jade Immortal Restaurant can handle them!”

“They’re definitely going to suffer!”

“Just look at Zhao Long Xiang’s 4-meter-tall frame, terrifying!”

“Not necessarily. Some people are all bark and no bite.”

“Maybe Zhao Long Xiang is just intimidating on the surface. Perhaps he’s not even as good as Zhou Chen!”

……

“Damn! Who the hell said I was all bark and no bite?”

Zhao Long Xiang roared, silencing the crowd. Countless gazes turned toward him.

“Oh my, welcome, honored guests! We apologize for not greeting you sooner!”

Two madams from Jade Immortal Restaurant, along with several courtesans, quickly approached Zhao Long Xiang and Zhou Chen, surrounding them with their beauty and charm.

Zhao Long Xiang’s anger dissipated instantly.

“Please, gentlemen, come inside!”

They naturally had to treat these two top ten prodigies, the Holy Sons of the Unbounded Sword Sect and the Dragon Elephant Sect, with the utmost care.

They were big spenders!

Young and wealthy.

Money was no object to them.

And they were the kind of men the courtesans loved most.

Forget about paying, even if they were freeloaders, countless girls would be fighting to be with them.

Zhou Chen didn’t hold back.

He wreaked havoc in Jade Immortal Restaurant.

At this moment.

Countless experts throughout the capital felt a shift in the atmosphere and looked up toward the imperial palace. They saw vast thunderclouds gathering, lightning flashing.

“Someone is advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“It seems like a powerful tribulation. It’s coming from the Dragon Transformation Pool, it must be an imperial prodigy!”

“I heard the Heavenly Sword Princess has been cultivating at the Dragon Transformation Pool. Could it be her?”

“Very likely!”

“The Heavenly Sword Princess has awakened the Tyrant Emperor Bloodline. Even if she can’t condense the Great Dao Nascent Soul, her Nascent Soul won’t be weak!”

……

Countless experts discussed among themselves, gazing toward the Dragon Transformation Pool in the imperial palace.

Although they couldn’t see the person.

They could judge the quality of the Nascent Soul based on the intensity of the tribulation.

If it were an ordinary imperial prodigy, they wouldn’t be so interested.

But this could be the Heavenly Sword Princess, who had awakened the Tyrant Emperor Bloodline.

That was different.

……

Jade Immortal Restaurant.

Zhou Chen held a beautiful woman’s voluptuous body in his arms, walking to the window to look toward the Dragon Transformation Pool in the imperial palace:
“Is it Jian Xiong?”

Zhou Chen murmured to himself.

The two were still connected.

Crash!
Zhao Long Xiang barged in, a beautiful woman clinging to him, and strode over to Zhou Chen, laughing:
“Brother, I heard the Heavenly Sword Princess is cultivating at the Dragon Transformation Pool. It’s highly likely that she’s the one advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“I heard this Heavenly Sword Princess is an ice queen. I wonder if under my bo…”

“Slap!”

Zhou Chen slapped Zhao Long Xiang on the head, cutting him off mid-sentence.

“What the hell? Why did you do that? Is the Heavenly Sword Princess your goddess?”

Zhao Long Xiang shouted angrily.

“Wrong! Jian Xiong is my woman!”

Zhou Chen didn’t hide it, nor did he need to.

“Wow, you’re amazing! You managed to get the Heavenly Sword Princess without anyone knowing!”

Zhao Long Xiang gave him a thumbs-up, then realized something and said:
“Wait, you two were from neighboring sects. You must have been together for a while now!”

“No wonder the Heavenly Sword Princess and the Grand Princess went to your Holy Son Ceremony!”

“Sigh, I’ve lost a beauty!”

Zhao Long Xiang said this, but he didn’t seem to care.

His main purpose in coming here was to see the prodigies of the Great Qian Dynasty. As for whether he could become the Imperial Son-in-Law, he didn’t mind.

Besides, the position of Imperial Son-in-Law was already Zhou Chen’s.

As for messing with Zhou Chen?
Don’t be ridiculous, he wasn’t an idiot.

He had more beautiful women than he could handle.

Even if he played with a hundred every day, he wouldn’t be able to finish them all in his lifetime.

As for the status of Imperial Son-in-Law.

He didn’t care even more. His status as the Holy Son of the Dragon Elephant Sect was no less than that of the Imperial Son-in-Law.

In this world, strength was king.

“How many tribulation lightning strikes has she endured?”

Zhao Long Xiang looked toward the Dragon Transformation Pool in the imperial palace.

“Twenty-seven!”

Zhou Chen didn’t answer, but gasps of surprise came from those around them.

However, twenty-seven was nothing.

That was only the Minor Heavenly Tribulation.

Legend had it that there were a maximum of eighty-one strikes, which could condense the Great Dao Nascent Soul.

He had endured seventy-two tribulation lightning strikes when he condensed his Nascent Soul.

Second only to the Great Dao Nascent Soul.

“The Heavenly Sword Princess has the Tyrant Emperor Bloodline, she should be able to do it too!”

Zhao Long Xiang thought to himself.

……

Imperial Palace.

Dragon Transformation Pool.

Jian Xiong’s tribulation wasn’t as casual as Zhou Chen’s. She followed the conventional method, shattering the lightning and using it to temper her body and refine her Nascent Soul.

Unlike Zhou Chen, who directly charged into the lightning pool, bathed in the sea of tribulation, and used the lightning to temper his body.

“Thirty-six!”

“Forty-five!”

……

“Sixty-three!”

“Seventy-two!”

“The Eighty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, second only to the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations of the Great Dao Nascent Soul. That’s very impressive!”

Yao Ji praised as she watched Jian Xiong overcome the tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Great Dao Nascent Soul was a legend.

Most unparalleled prodigies stopped at this point.

“Heavenly Sword, congratulations on advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.”

The Emperor stepped forward to offer his congratulations.

“Thank you, brother!”

Jian Xiong dismissed the crowd of well-wishers, leaving only Princess Yao Ji by her side.

“Aunt, has he arrived?”

Jian Xiong asked.

“He’s here!”

“Where?”

Jian Xiong’s beautiful eyes lit up as she prepared to go see Zhou Chen.

“Jade Immortal Restaurant!”

Yao Ji said exasperatedly:

“I heard he’s quite the sensation now. Before your tribulation, he had already single-handedly defeated seventy-two people at Jade Immortal Restaurant!”

“……”

“Alright, focus on stabilizing your cultivation. The Genius Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. There’s no rush to see him.”

……

Time flew by.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The story of Zhou Chen and Zhao Long Xiang’s battle at Jade Immortal Restaurant, where they had wreaked havoc, had spread throughout the capital, becoming a popular topic of conversation.

Many people went there out of curiosity.

Business at Jade Immortal Restaurant boomed.

But the courtesans were miserable.

They could only cry silently.

Amidst this bustling atmosphere, the Genius Martial Arts Tournament finally began.
