Chapter 430 - 409: Fame Shakes the 8 Domains

Chapter 430: Chapter 409: Fame Shakes the 8 Domains

Han Wu the Sub-Venerable had also said that before long, this intelligence would spread throughout the Eight Domains and capture the world’s attention.

Given the circumstances, Bai Zhi the Medicine Saint didn’t bother keeping Sen Hui and the others in suspense.

She shared the intelligence with crisp efficiency.

Of course, she had her own agenda: to help Sen Hui establish her authority among the group of female cultivators.

"Fang Yang possesses one aperture with two forms, embodying both the Kunpeng and the Golden Crow."

"Relying on his power alone, he crushed and killed young Great Saints, including the White Tiger Demon Lord."

"..."

BOOM—

The news landed like a thunderclap, sending an invisible shockwave through them.

The bodies of Caiwei, Cairou, Xuezhi, and the other female cultivators trembled violently, shaking uncontrollably.

They quickly raised their heads, their eyes snapping toward Sen Hui.

There stood Sen Hui, her green robes fluttering. She looked holy and transcendent, with thick, dark hair and eyes that shone like brilliant stars.

To them, in that moment, Sen Hui seemed to be cloaked in an additional layer of indescribable splendor.

This strange brilliance made it difficult for them to meet her gaze for long.

For a moment, the women were overcome with emotion, each lost in her own thoughts.

Caiwei lowered her gaze, a small flame of resentment igniting in her heart. ’My fiancé is trapped in the Dream World, while hers is famous across the Eight Domains, the center of the world’s attention. How can I not feel bitter?’

Cairou trembled, subconsciously holding her breath. ’Fang Yang’s demonic power is monstrous, his slaughters countless,’ she thought. ’If I anger Sen Hui, will he come after me? He probably would... a Great Demon like that.’

Xuezhi’s expression was one of shock. While a flicker of joy arose in her heart, it was tinged with envy.

She and Fang Yang had a certain rapport; they could be considered friends who got along well.

Putting other things aside, during the Xuan-Yu Battle, she had once adventured alongside Fang Yang, trading Spiritual Objects and intelligence.

As far as she knew, the parchment scroll she’d given Fang Yang had played a part in his search for the Heart of the Black Moon Water Kun.

Now, hearing that Fang Yang had built up such incredible momentum and become the center of attention...

It was only natural that she felt happy for him.

Her envy, meanwhile, was twofold.

Part of it was envy for Sen Hui’s incredible luck.

The other part was envy for Fang Yang’s immense talent.

She had never, ever imagined that ’Proud Eagle’ would transform into the ’Kunpeng Ancestor’.

The transformation was as shocking as an ant turning into a great dragon.

Fang Yang had truly begun to move unhindered across the land.

It was simply unbelievable!

’Come on, I’ll definitely become a Saint too.’

Xuezhi glanced at Sen Hui again, silently giving herself a pep talk.

「At this very moment.」

As if by unspoken agreement, the women all had the same thought: upon his return to the Xuan Domain, Fang Yang would most likely visit the Sen clan to officially marry Sen Hui and solidify their union.

And so, in their hearts, Sen Hui’s image grew even more sublime.

...

"Ah Yang..." Sen Hui slowly closed her eyes, calming her emotions.

Just as Caiwei, Cairou, Xuezhi, and the others expected.

At this moment, she was indeed overjoyed at Fang Yang’s accomplishments.

But she was no clueless cultivation novice.

On the contrary, due to her quiet disposition...

In her youth, she had spent much of her time studying in the Sen clan’s library, poring over the Daoist scriptures.

And it was for this very reason that she understood one thing with profound clarity:

—that Fang Yang’s transformation into the "Kunpeng Ancestor" and the "Lord of the Golden Crow" was nowhere near as simple as most people imagined!

She was worried. She was anxious.

Fang Yang had come so far, all in silence.

One could only imagine the hardships he must have endured during those years hidden from the world.

This time, it was true that Fang Yang had revealed his trump cards, turned the tide, and swept away all opposition. Relying on his personal strength, he had suppressed and killed young Great Saints like Cha Mo, Xiao Sanxuan, Zhong Zunyang, Lin Xianfan, and the White Tiger Demon Lord.

’But what if his enemies learn all of his trump cards?’

’Wouldn’t he be in grave danger then?’

’His rise seems glorious, but it’s more like oil on a blazing fire—a disaster waiting to happen.’

’Venerable-led powers like the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Red Flame Demon Country, the Jile Demon Sect, the Earth Divine Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Flames Hall... nearly all of them have their eyes on Fang Yang now.’

Just thinking about the dangers involved made Sen Hui break out in a cold sweat for him.

"Hooo..."

A moment later, she opened her eyes. They were clear and filled with determination.

’I have to get stronger too!’

’I’ll try to master the art of refining Saint Realm Pills.’

’I will use my own strength to contribute to his journey.’

She knew her own limitations.

After all, her father and brother only ever hoped for her to become a Saint.

For her to live a happy and peaceful life—that was their greatest wish for her.

In other words, barring any accidents, she would likely die before Fang Yang.

But that was precisely why she had to give it her all—to accompany him on his path for as long as she possibly could.

In a trance, she recalled the promise she and Fang Yang had made.

...

"Ah Yang, in the future, let’s create a great lineage that combines both Talismans and Pills, okay?"

"We will. I promise you."

"Hehe, once I become a Saint, I’ll be able to use the Three-Plume Cyan Bottle Sacred Artifact."

"The Three-Plume Cyan Bottle?"

"Yes, my brother gave it to me. When that time comes and I’m a Saint, I’ll refine Pills for my brother and the others. With that, you’ll have all the Immortal Essence Stones you need for your cultivation. The path to becoming a Great Saint will be wide open for you!"

"Haha, wonderful! In that case, I’ll be waiting for that day to come. I’ll be waiting for you to provide for me, Xiaohui."
