Chapter 583

Xu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief at the sight.

One or two would be fine, but if all forty-plus women did this—

His head would really explode.

He looked at the three women and said, "Alright, I'm going to continue cultivating."

Having said that, without giving the three women a chance to speak, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the Xianyun Cushion.

There was still about half a year left.

Half a year from now, the main plot would begin.

He hoped that with the aid of Pills, his strength could still improve further.

The three Xi Wangmu women pouted at the sight.

They said sulkily, "Hmph! Scumbag, you don't even pay attention to us."

But after saying that, each of them kissed Xu Chen once, and only then left fully satisfied.

After all, a bargain not taken is a bargain wasted.

At this moment, Xu Chen was completely numb.

It was all that woman Hua Fei's fault.

She'd made all the female leads in the female lead circle completely change their personalities.

Damn her!

After that, Xu Chen's cultivation was never disturbed again.

For a full half year, Xu Chen spent all his time cultivating.

Because of the Xianyun Cushion and the many Emperor Pills,

Xu Chen's cultivation speed skyrocketed.

Half a year later, he had already reached Martial Emperor Fourth Heaven Peak.

Only half a step away from stepping into the Martial Emperor Fifth Heaven realm.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint immediately flashed within them.

Then he gathered his own aura, looking like an ordinary mortal.

But in the Martial Emperor realm, the more one looked like a mortal, the more powerful one was.

Why?

Simple—the Great Dao is ultimately simple.

Once one fuses with more Daos and masters more Daos,

One can freely contract and expand one's own aura.

On the contrary, those Martial Emperors who madly erupt their aura might just be paper tigers.

Someone like him, Xu Chen, was the truly terrifying one.

Of course, someone like Ye Xuan, that dog who acts weak to prey on the strong,

Was also a representative example of being "awakened"—this was even more so than those who simply didn't reveal their realm.

In the original text, once the realm was revealed, that was the moment to show off.

Logically speaking, after one year,

Because of the increased Spiritual Qi and various fortuitous encounters,

Ye Xuan would also skyrocket to Martial Emperor Third Heaven Peak.

But as for now, he really wasn't sure.

After all, the world had already slightly collapsed a little.

With that thought, his body flickered slightly, and he vanished from the Wangmu Immortal Palace.

When he came out, he found that Yaochi Shengdi hadn't changed much.

But he saw Wangmu Benti, Wangmu Fenshen, Dongfang Yunyan, Yun Qianyue, Mo Xinyan, and the other women.

They had been guarding him outside all this while.

Of course, they had also been cultivating the whole time.

Just outside the Immortal Palace, that's all.

Xu Chen could also sense that their realms had faintly improved quite a bit.

Even Wangmu Benti already had a trace of the Great Emperor's Dao resonance.

Although she hadn't advanced to Great Emperor, it shouldn't be long now.

At this moment, Yun Qianyue said sulkily, "Xu-lang, when will you refine a body for me~?"

Xu Chen said, "I want to find a Great Emperor's skeleton; otherwise, I think a Martial Emperor-level one isn't suitable."

Yun Qianyue said happily, "Really?"

Actually, as long as Xu Chen said he'd help her, she'd already be very happy.

She hadn't expected that what Xu Chen had been keeping in mind all along was a Great Emperor's skeleton.

Xu Chen nodded: "That's right, your Divine Soul is already at Martial Emperor Ninth Heaven level—without a Great Emperor's skeleton, it would be very hard to contain it.

And your current body is just a Shengnyu Roushen after all, ultimately too weak." Yun Qianyue said, "Okay~ then let's search carefully.

Oh right, I heard that over at the Soul Clan Fēnbù, there's just a Great Emperor's skeleton.

Rumor has it that this Great Emperor's skeleton contains countless martial arts, as well as a fortuitous encounter for advancing to Great Emperor.

So quite a few forces have already set out." Xu Chen said, "Understood. By the way, where are Lan Yun and the others?"

Xi Wangmu Benti said, "They've already gone to the Soul Clan Fēnbù's territory, but they haven't caused too much of a stir yet.

I also don't know how the news about the Soul Clan Fēnbù leaked this time."

But he had heard that someone really had seen a Great Emperor. "Xu Chen asked curiously, "What did that person say?"

Yun Qianyue said, "They seemed to have gone mad. Just one trip into the Soul Clan Fēnbù, their body was unharmed, but their Divine Sense…"

Xu Chen nodded. Without a doubt, the soul had been damaged.

On Soul Clan territory, the whole body might appear completely unscathed.

But in the end, one might suddenly perish.

Xu Chen said, "Since there's news of a Great Emperor's remains over there, let's head there now."

Having said that, Xu Chen didn't waste any more words.

He directly brought the women with him and rushed straight toward the Soul Clan Fēnbù.

The Soul Clan Fēnbù, abbreviated as the Soul Department.

The rank of the Soul Department is above that of the Soul Hall.

The simplest distinction.

The leaders of the Soul Hall are basically all Martial Saints.

But the leaders of the Soul Department are basically all Martial Emperors.

In other words, within a single Soul Department, there are countless Soul Halls.

After all, a tiny Soul Hall is nothing in the eyes of a Martial Emperor.

But likewise, the Soul Department isn't something just anyone can enter.

The Soul Department's mystery is almost identical to that of the Soul Hall.

It's very hard for people to find it.

Even if one finds it, they wouldn't dare approach casually.

At this moment, Xu Chen and the others arrived outside a vast forest.

On this Dalu, forests are everywhere.

Likewise, Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures are everywhere.

They might be occupied by someone, or they might not. Xi Wangmu Benti said, "This place is on the edge of Yaochi Shengdi, roughly a million li away.

The name is also very simple: Youhun Forest.

As the name suggests, a large number of souls exist here.

Because of some special reason, they cannot escape, nor can they reincarnate." Xu Chen asked curiously, "I understand not being able to escape, but not being able to reincarnate?" Xi Wangmu Benti said, "It's because they committed too many killing sins and incurred karmic obstacles.

Therefore these souls are not black, but red.

That is karmic obstacles—in other words, they've been targeted by the Buddhist Sect." Xu Chen understood: "It means the Buddhist Sect won't let them reincarnate, right?" Yun Qianyue also said, "Right, if not for the Buddhist Sect, these karmic obstacles wouldn't be revealed." Xu Chen nodded. The Buddhist Sect, have they already mobilized?
