Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 528: The Holy Son Is Truly Too Gentle!

Fan Qinghe gazed at Ye Chen approaching, her sparkling eyes filled with genuine admiration and tenderness. His strength surpassed all her expectations of prodigies.

Central Continent prodigies typically dominated Great Yan, yet a top-ten-level foe couldn't withstand a single blow from Ye Chen. He even shattered a top-tier dao weapon with one punch. This wasn't just prodigy-level—it was the makings of a true immortal. What woman could resist such a man, especially one who loved her so deeply?

Beyond shock, Fan Qinghe's heart warmed. During the ritual's final half-hour, Ye Chen's sudden surge of Yin-Yang Qi had overwhelmed her, leaving a shadow of discomfort. She'd thought his push to strengthen her, though well-intentioned, was too forceful, disregarding her limits—a touch of chauvinism. But witnessing his boundless Yin-Yang Qi now, she realized how gentle he'd been. If he'd truly been reckless, she'd have burst on the first day.

"Holy Son, you're incredible!" she said, clinging to his arm, her voice sweet as honey, eyes brimming with adoration. "By your side, I feel fearless!"

The onlookers, still reeling from Ye Chen's prowess, grew even more envious. His talent was unmatched, crushing prodigies across realms like it was nothing, yet he also had such a beauty's devotion. And still, he wasn't satisfied—pursuing others' fiancées, tearing clothes, splitting betrothed men in half, luring holy land elders with treasures, claiming war widows for his harem peak, and even forcing sect leaders to offer their daughters while monopolizing the Heavenly Desire Sect's women. His appetite for women seemed insatiable!

Mo Yixi watched the Seventh Ancestor leave with reluctance, sighing at Ye Chen before vanishing into the void. Ye Chen shook his head—Mo's acting was top-notch.

Fan Qinghe, still clinging to him, cooed, "Holy Son, stay longer at our sect. I can't bear to part with you."

Ye Chen smiled. With his Yin-Yang Qi, she was nearing her second nirvana and Unity breakthrough. She'd need both a Unity method and a dao weapon—perfect for gifting. Plus, her sharp tongue earlier made him eager to explore her "combat prowess" further. Nodding indulgently, he wrapped an arm around her waist, returning to the Heavenly Desire Sect under the Sect Leader's gaze.

He presented the top-tier Unity method to Fan Qinghe. Having seen the Seventh Ancestor offer it, she knew its value, her eyes widening. The Sect Leader and elders were equally stunned. Such a precious law, tied to Unity-stage strength, was something they assumed Ye Chen would keep. Yet he gave it to Fan Qinghe immediately.

How generous! The Sect Leader and elders envied Fan Qinghe, marveling at Ye Chen as the most doting protector in history, showering his Divine Maiden with treasures. Fan Qinghe, already thrilled and touched, felt even more elated under their envious stares. While her sect's high-grade Unity method suited her, a top-tier one was far better, boosting combat power by nearly fifty percent in domain strength and overall might.

Still, she hesitated, fearing Ye Chen might think her greedy. Once confident, she now felt insecure—Ye Chen's overwhelming excellence made her fear losing his favor.

"Holy Son, keep it for yourself. I already have my sect's…" Fan Qinghe hesitated, then declined.

Ye Chen raised a finger, silencing her with a commanding presence. "Don't refuse. You deserve the best in the world."

His words drew gasps from the Heavenly Desire Sect elders. Ye Chen's strength and status, paired with such a bold gesture, radiated dominance. Fan Qinghe blushed, accepting the Unity method under their envious gazes.

The next moment, a system prompt rang in Ye Chen's mind:

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully bestowing a gift!"

"Gift: Top-tier Stellar Dual Charm Unity Method!"

"1,800-fold feedback in progress!"

"Detected: The gift is of immense importance to the recipient, causing significant emotional impact…"

"Triggered: Maximum critical reward!"

"Rewards: Pristine Triple Charm Unity method!"

"Rewards: Heavenly Emperor's Unity Method Insights!"

"Rewards: Heavenly Emperor's Unity Experience!"

Ye Chen's eyes gleamed. A maximum critical hit, as expected. He'd deliberately gifted it in front of the Sect Leader and elders, knowing women's spaces—like banks or airlines—bred comparison. Everyone craved being the most envied, like influencers flaunting lavish meals or hotels for likes. Gifting such a treasure publicly maxed out Fan Qinghe's emotional satisfaction, elevating an ordinary critical hit to the maximum.

The result proved him right. Not only did he gain a Triple Charm Unity method, but the Heavenly Emperor's insights would save him immense time. The Emperor's Unity experience was even more precious. Ye Chen's path mirrored the Emperor's, with similar cultivation methods. Unity was a challenging realm, but with this experience, his breakthrough time would shrink drastically.
