Chapter 160: Lady Wen Returns, and Wen Siyue Falls for Yan Taibai

Afterward, after some investigation, Yan Taibai finally felt at ease once he confirmed that there were no Restrictions planted on the two women by Wan Sangu.

As for matters concerning the Star Palace and the Anti-Star Alliance, he did not let the two women worry about them, simply telling them to focus on their cultivation.

He would deal with this matter once he had formed his Nascent Soul; by then, killing Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu would no longer be a problem.

Naturally, the two women had no objections to this and returned to their respective immortal caves to cultivate in peace.

Although the Miaoyin Sect was fine for the time being, the conflict between the Anti-Star Alliance and the Star Palace was intensifying, with several large-scale battles involving over ten thousand cultivators having already occurred.

The number of islands lost or occupied by both sides had reached over a dozen, and even Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen on both sides.

One can only imagine just how tragic it was!

As for Yan Taibai, the Star Palace tried its best to stay on good terms with him, but like other cultivators, he could not leave the Inner Star Sea at will to head to the Outer Star Sea.

As for resources, with the support of the Star Palace, there were no major issues.

On this day, a white light appeared at the Transmission Array in the Starry Sky Hall of the Star Palace leading to the Outer Star Sea, and then a graceful and charming figure emerged.

This was a beautiful woman in white, and the smile lingering on her delicate face was truly heart-stirring.

And this woman in white was none other than Lady Wen.

"Senior Wen, you have finally returned. Fellow Daoist Yan has already given orders that as soon as you returned, we were to bring you to the Miaoyin Sect immediately."

Two Golden Core Stage Cultivators of the Star Palace, also dressed in white, stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Although Lady Wen was originally the dao companion of Liudao Jisheng, who didn't know by now that she had already surrendered herself to Yan Taibai?

Such a good fortune truly made many Star Palace cultivators envious.

"Very well, lead the way!"

Lady Wen did not waste words, and even the smile on her face vanished; she only said this indifferently.

She knew very well what the island she had found signified and had to tell Yan Taibai as soon as possible.

"Understood, Senior Wen, please follow us."

The white-clad Star Palace cultivators led the way.

……

Half an hour later, Lady Wen arrived at the main hall of Yan Taibai's immortal cave.

At this moment, only the two of them were in the hall, as both Yan Ruyan and Zhou Yuan were in seclusion.

Like Yan Taibai, they were both in seclusion to form their Nascent Souls.

But they had not yet taken the Nine-Curved Spirit Pill; it was not a problem of materials, but rather that it had not been refined yet, and it was not yet the time to take it.

"Husband, I have found that island. Inside is an entire high-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stone vein. I wonder when you plan to head there for secluded cultivation."

Lady Wen also knew that Yan Taibai required a massive amount of resources for his cultivation.

She did not ask how Yan Taibai had known about it.

"As soon as possible! Besides, I am also nearly ready to form my Nascent Soul. However, you have worked hard as well."

Upon hearing Lady Wen's words, Yan Taibai finally let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Then how does my husband plan to reward me?"

Hearing this, Lady Wen stared at Yan Taibai's handsome face with affectionate, watery eyes, her meaning very clear.

To this, Yan Taibai could only stand up, and under Lady Wen's slightly expectant and shy expression, scoop her up into his arms, then leave the hall and head toward the bedroom of the immortal cave.

He did not intend to waste a single word.

As a sword cultivator, one must draw their sword and charge forward bravely!

And Lady Wen very quickly experienced the sharpness of Yan Taibai's blade.

However, this was only the beginning; in the following ten-plus days, Yan Taibai never gave Lady Wen a moment of rest.

Since he was to reward her, he naturally had to give his all and spare no effort; only then would it be worthy of Lady Wen's efforts this time.

……

A month later, under Lady Wen's desperate pleas for mercy, Yan Taibai finally stopped and left the bedroom of the immortal cave with his hands on his hips.

After resting for a few days, he left the Miaoyin Sect and headed for the Star Palace.

Nowadays, the various affairs of the Star Palace were naturally not handled by the Heavenly Star Sages; the two were only responsible for matters concerning the life and death of the entire Star Palace.

As for other matters, they were handled by the Star Palace Council of Elders.

For instance, Yan Taibai wanting to head to the Outer Star Sea was a matter that the Star Palace Council of Elders had to discuss.

After all, Yan Taibai's status was too special, and furthermore, Lady Wen had just returned, so if Yan Taibai headed to the Outer Star Sea, even a fool would know he must have discovered something there.

But even if they knew, what could they do? After all, if they did not agree, Yan Taibai might very well tear the Star Palace apart.

Therefore, after only a brief discussion, they agreed.

Yan Taibai successfully transmitted to the Outer Star Sea.

"Finally here?"

Yan Taibai looked at the somewhat familiar scene and muttered to himself.

The place he spoke of was naturally Qiyuan Island.

Compared to other places, this was undoubtedly the place where he had hunted the most Demon Beasts.

It was also the closest island to Biling Island.

After leaving the Transmission Array stone chamber, Yan Taibai headed outside of Black Stone City.

He had no intention of staying long; after all, this Black Stone City really had no value worth a second glance.

The most important thing now was Biling Island; once he found Biling Island, he could more or less enter seclusion to form his Nascent Soul.

Of course, he still needed to make this Biling Island his own.

It was not to cultivate in seclusion there, but just to take a look first and claim ownership.

With his status, once he claimed ownership, there would basically be no need to worry about the human side, and as for the demon side, he would be capable of resolving that as well.

After all, among the entire Demon Beast race of the Outer Star Sea, the strongest Demon Beast is only at the Tenth Level, which, to Yan Taibai, is absolutely nothing to fear.

Naturally, there is nothing to worry about.

And even with the proximity to Qiyuan Island, combined with the escape speed of the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash," it still took Yan Taibai a full half-year to arrive at Biling Island.

Biling Island is very large, much like his impression of it, and not much worse than Heavenly Star City.

According to what Lady Wen said, it did not take long for Yan Taibai to find the entrance to the Spirit Stone mine that Lady Wen had opened up.

After confirming that High-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones existed within, he felt at ease.

However, although it is a High-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stone mine, in reality, most of the wood attribute spirit stones are still only mid-grade; high-grade wood attribute spirit stones likely make up only one in a thousand.

Therefore, calling it a high-grade wood attribute spirit stone mine is actually a bit of a stretch, but it is not bad either. At least, top-tier wood attribute spirit stones appeared later on.

"After going back, I must have Furen send some trustworthy disciples to come and mine."

"Trustworthy disciples—puppets seem better."

Yan Taibai thought of the puppets he had cast to the back of his mind.

Compared to cultivators, using puppets to mine spirit stone veins is clearly a better choice. After all, puppets will never commit betrayal. Even the most trusted disciple might sell one out, especially for an entire high-grade wood attribute spirit stone mine.

For Yan Taibai, puppets are not very useful; he has hardly even used them.

But out of a love for "figurines," Yan Taibai had still specifically refined some, and now they finally have a use.

And with puppets to mine the spirit stones on Biling Island, Yan Taibai took out the formation he had prepared long ago and began to set up the formation at the entrance of the mine, marking it.

In this way, even if someone discovers it later, there is no need to worry.

After all, by then he will have almost condensed his Nascent Soul and advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. To him, the entire Chaotic Star Sea will be as easy as slaughtering chickens or dogs.

He will be the absolute number one in the Chaotic Star Sea.

And once he condenses his Nascent Soul and advances to the Nascent Soul Stage, it will be about time for him to return to the Tiannan Cultivation World.

But before that, he must first resolve the two great threats: Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu.

Compared to anyone else, whether it is Liudao Jisheng or Wan Sangu, only he can resolve them.

Moreover, if they are not resolved, it would be truly difficult to obtain the metal attribute spirit stones and material mines promised by the Heavenly Star Sages.

The current Miaoyin Sect is not suited to falling out with the Star Palace, and he does not want to fall out either; he only needs the Heavenly Star Sages to honestly provide cultivation resources.

After all, the Chaotic Star Sea is so vast that it can barely meet his requirements for cultivation resources.

If that really doesn't work, there is still the Tiannan Cultivation World, which would work just the same.

But compared to the Chaotic Star Sea, which has the official power of the Star Palace, wanting the Tiannan Cultivation World to provide him with cultivation resources would likely be unavoidable without a great war.

However, for the time being, the Star Palace of the Chaotic Star Sea can still provide enough, so there is no rush regarding the Tiannan Cultivation World side.

It won't be too late to talk about it when it's not enough; furthermore, this is only the Inner Star Sea, and the Outer Star Sea has sea areas and islands countless times larger than the Inner Star Sea.

By then, it won't be too late to go to the Outer Star Sea to search.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to condense the Nascent Soul and advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.

After the formation was properly set up, Yan Taibai left a few dozen wisps of divine sense inside the puppets and then left Biling Island.

Of course, this time he did not return the same way, but left Biling Island directly using a Transmission Array.

Therefore, Yan Taibai hardly needs to worry about Biling Island being discovered. With the Transmission Array there, he can return to Biling Island at any time.

Unless the other party destroys the Transmission Array first; if that happens, don't blame him for slaughtering everyone. Whether it is the human factions of the Chaotic Star Sea or the Demon Beast race, Yan Taibai will not let them off.

And for the entire Transmission Array, the price he paid was not low; he directly demanded materials from the Star Palace.

Hmm! This price is not low, right!

Following a surge of white light, his figure returned to the cave dwelling in the Miaoyin Sect.

"Husband, you've returned."

And inside the cave dwelling, Lady Wen, who had been looking forward to his return like a 'husband-gazing stone,' rushed directly into his arms.

With the fragrant and warm beauty in his arms, Yan Taibai naturally would not waste words; he scooped her up by the waist and headed toward the bedroom of the cave dwelling.

As for the matter of Biling Island, the two of them did not say much about it right now.

After all, this is not an important matter; the important matter is what they are about to do now.

This time, just for this matter, it took more than ten days, allowing Lady Wen to once again experience the prowess of Yan Taibai.

Likewise, she also gained quite a few benefits.

Among the several women related to him, Lady Wen is clearly the one who coordinates best with him; no matter what knowledge from his past life, she is crystal clear about it.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.

On this day, Wen Siyue, the third disciple of the Miaoyin Sect leader, arrived at the Golden Sand Island previously controlled by the Star Palace.

Golden Sand Island is, as the name suggests, related to "gold," and in reality, it is exactly so.

This island is rich in a type of "gold sand," which is different from ordinary worldly gold; this type of gold sand is itself "Gold Essence," and does not require a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to refine it with pill fire; it can be directly refined into top-tier magical tools or even items of excellent quality that can be refined into Dharma Treasures.

However, this Golden Sand Island has now become an island of the Miaoyin Sect, and is even more so the place where Yan Taibai is in seclusion.

Wen Siyue came under the orders of the Miaoyin Sect leader Zhou Yuan, her master, to check on Yan Taibai's situation.

Wen Siyue was born with a seductive body, and she has countless suitors within the Miaoyin Sect; even many Golden Core Stage elders had thoughts of taking her as a concubine or even a dao companion, but because she was taken as a disciple by Zhou Yuan, naturally no one had such thoughts.

And Zhou Yuan was not being kind; it was purely prepared for Yan Taibai.

Whether it was Lady Wen, Yuan Yao, or the sisters Zhuo Ruting and Fan Jingmei, they all made Zhou Yuan understand that Yan Taibai is not a cultivator who practices asceticism with a clear heart and few desires.

This point alone was enough; for the sake of the entire Miaoyin Sect, Zhou Yuan knew very well that she must do her utmost to befriend Yan Taibai, and she would not mind pushing Fan Jingmei, Zhuo Ruting, or even her own daughter Ziling Xianzi to Yan Taibai.

If not for the constraints of status, as long as Yan Taibai spoke, she would not care too much even about herself.

Let alone a Wen Siyue.

However, when taking Wen Siyue as a disciple, Zhou Yuan had already made it clear that the reason for taking her as a disciple was to serve as a concubine for Yan Taibai.

As for the concubines by Yan Taibai's side, they were all people related to the Miaoyin Sect, so the friendship between Yan Taibai and the Miaoyin Sect naturally grew deeper and deeper.

As for Yan Ruyan, she had also been asked, and she had no objections; on the contrary, she was quite in favor of it.

Naturally, Wen Siyue was also clear that she actually had no room for choice.

Rather than choosing a Miaoyin Sect Golden Core Stage elder with an aged face, eccentric temperament, and volatile moods, Wen Siyue would rather agree to be Yan Taibai's concubine.

After all, she had seen Yan Taibai's appearance, and naturally, she felt admiration in her heart.

It was just that she did not like this kind of coercion.

What made her heave a sigh of relief was that Yan Taibai had been in secluded cultivation, condensing his Nascent Soul to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

There had always been rumors within the Miaoyin Sect that as long as Yan Taibai condensed his Nascent Soul and advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu of the Anti-Star Alliance would undoubtedly die.

Therefore, any island where Yan Taibai was in secluded cultivation would be attacked by the Anti-Star Alliance, the purpose being to disrupt Yan Taibai's secluded cultivation to condense his Nascent Soul, or even to kill Yan Taibai.

Once, he was even forced out of his secluded cultivation, and with just a single sword strike, five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, dozens of Golden Core Stage cultivators, and thousands of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Anti-Star Alliance were all buried, allowing the Miaoyin Sect disciples and Star Palace disciples responsible for guarding and protecting him to truly make a fortune; of course, the bulk was still handed over.

And it was during this time that Wen Siyue, who had originally felt resistance, fell in love with Yan Taibai.

Never mind being a concubine, she would even be a Luoding willingly.

He was simply too strong; she felt that this was what a true high-level cultivator was, one sword strike enough to sweep away the thousands of demons, monsters, and ghosts of the world!

However, Yan Taibai was focused on secluded cultivation, and for her, he only gave a few Top-tier Magical Tools and medicinal pills, helping her become a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.
