Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 515: The Fourth Holy Son Bullies Too Far!

Leaving Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, Ye Chen sat leisurely in his tower ship, heading toward Heavenly Desire Sect. Elder Mo, fulfilling his protector role, hid in the void. With his Yin-Yang Qi overflowing, Ye Chen didn't cultivate, gazing idly at the void. His brows twitched.

Since Elder Mo restored his Immortal Platform and reached Mahayana, his concealment skills had sharpened. Even his Heavy Pupils struggled to spot him now.

Sometimes, it took ages to find him. This worried him. Previously, when handling affairs outside, he used formations to block Mo's prying. He trusted his decency, but an accidental glance was unacceptable. His women were for his eyes only.

With Mo's breakthrough, could his old formations still block his sight? Time for a new one?

Changing plans, he detoured from heading straight to Heavenly Desire Sect, visiting a major sect en route. His arrival stunned the sect.

Ye Chen, the Great Yan Continent's undisputed top young prodigy, who split Heavenly Intention Holy Son, was a figure even Unity realm experts feared. Why would such a person visit their minor sect? Was Heavenly Evolution Holy Land raising tribute demands?

They already offered three treasure mines' output yearly—more would cripple them. When Ye Chen stated his purpose, the sect's leaders were baffled. The Fourth Holy Son came just to use the Array Refining Peak's quiet chamber?

Impossible. Though skeptical, they promptly prepared it. Ye Chen, a peak fifth-grade array master, could craft top-tier fifth-grade formations. In seven days, he forged a portable array disc, shielding against Unity realm spirit sense, gazes, and True Martial Eyes.

Satisfied, he emerged and made his second request: to meet all the sect's female prodigies and elders. His goal was simple—find one with a high multiplier and gift to her.

The sect leader's face soured. It was true—the Fourth Holy Son was after women. His reputation preceded him, and this request confirmed it. The leader nearly exploded. This was too humiliating.

Even if you're the Great Yan Continent's top prodigy, stronger than many veteran Unity experts, coming to our sect to pick a harem was too much! Did he not take them seriously? Didn't he know even a mighty dragon respects the local snake?

The furious sect leader, without hesitation, ordered, "Summon all female elders and talented female disciples!"

But he secretly instructed them not to call his daughter. Her beauty and talent—Heavenly Spirit Root and a spiritual body—promised a bright future. She couldn't be seen by the Fourth Holy Son, lest she be taken to his harem peak.

Half an hour later, the female elders and disciples arrived, curiously eyeing Ye Chen among the sect leader and supreme elders. Given his reputation, even those with partners felt a flicker of anticipation, hoping for a leap to prominence. But Ye Chen scanned them and frowned slightly.

The highest multiplier was only 600x—beneath his standards. Then his eyes lit up. He flew toward the crowd, landing before a figure in male attire, face hidden under a large hat.

The sect leader frowned, then his eyes widened. It was his daughter! She must've heard the news and disguised herself to watch. But with Ye Chen's Heavy Pupils, her concealment was useless. His heart shattered at the thought of her being taken to the harem peak.

The figure, realizing she was exposed, removed her hat, revealing a stunning, delicate face like fine jade, her eyes tinged with fear, like a startled rabbit.

"Greetings, Holy Son. I didn't mean to hide or deceive you. My father didn't tell me to avoid you. I was late and stood aside to avoid angering you!"

The sect leader's mouth twitched. He flew over, ready to speak. Though Ye Chen was untouchable, as a father, he couldn't let his daughter fall into danger. He'd beg if needed.

But before he could, Ye Chen smiled gently. "No need to worry. I approached you because I sensed a connection. I gained insights in array crafting, so I borrowed your sect's chamber to refine this portable array disc. When activated, it blocks Unity realm spirit sense, gazes, and True Martial Eyes—perfect for concealment. It can be used endlessly. It's useless to me, but as a disciple here, I gift it to you."

He flicked a crystalline array disc, shimmering with immortal and divine light, clearly made of top-tier materials, to her. Its value was immense. The Fourth Holy Son gifted such a treasure so casually? Astounding.

Amid everyone's shock, Ye Chen rose. Without caring if she accepted, he said, "I've disturbed you all. I'll take my leave…"

His figure soared skyward. The sect leader, relieved, started to warn that the mountain gate array was active. But before he could, the array, meant to block Unity cultivators, parted like nothing before Ye Chen. In a flash, his tall figure vanished into the sky.

Countless awed gazes and disciples' admiring, wistful sighs remained. The Fourth Holy Son was truly dashing. A cultivator should be so.

Beside the sect leader, his daughter timidly spoke, "Father, this array disc…"

Relieved Ye Chen was gone, he smiled, patting her head. "Since the Holy Son gave it, keep it. His reputation may be mixed, but his generosity is real."

She hugged the disc, joyfully recalling Ye Chen's commanding presence, deep eyes, terrifying aura, and gentle smile. New emotions stirred. After a moment, she mustered courage, whispering, "Father, our sect provides resources rivaling a Holy Land and devoted guidance. But I suddenly feel a Holy Land might suit me better. More geniuses, more competition—I'd grow faster…"

The sect leader's eyes widened. Disaster. He'd underestimated the Fourth Holy Son's tactics. Ye Chen didn't force her. But his gesture hooked her, luring her to leap into the fire herself…
