Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 562: A Promising Future for Grandma!

Ye Chen's final promise was utterly sincere—gifting was his forte, after all. Seeing Manjusaka accept the Three Yin True Water and thank him, his system chimed:

"Congratulations, host, gift successful…"

"Gift: Three Yin True Water!"

"500x feedback in progress."

"Detected: Gift is critical to recipient, triggering intense…"

"Critical hit triggered!"

"Reward: Earth-Splitting Divine Stone!"

"Earth-Splitting Divine Stone: In the Unity realm, refine into your domain to greatly enhance its amplification effects. Its divine marks can unlock domain potential, generating or strengthening Domain Divine Abilities."

Though not a max critical hit, the reward impressed Ye Chen. Perfect for his already formidable domain, it would amplify it further, crushing foes' hopes. As for Domain Divine Abilities, he didn't expect a stone to birth more—his eight were already unprecedented.

But after experiencing the might of "Two Lives as One," he eagerly anticipated the rest. Refining this stone to awaken the others early would massively boost his strength.

His gaze on Manjusaka grew even more satisfied. The only flaw? Her 500x multiplier was low. A higher multiplier would yield better rewards. But she was just a soul now—once her body was restored, her multiplier would soar. Truly, Grandma was young at heart with a bright future.

Especially since Su Yuxuan couldn't critical hit but often had special needs. If Manjusaka's multiplier rose as a middleman, the feedback would be phenomenal.

Ye Chen waved, smiling. "No need for formalities, Senior. If you need anything, message Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. I'll rush to Central Continent to help. Crafting your body is paramount. Don't skimp on materials. If anything's hard to find, tell me—I'll do everything to secure you a perfect body!"

His earnest generosity deepened Manjusaka's moving. She'd been too narrow-minded before. Who said the cultivation world lacked good men? Here was one.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Su Yuxuan, puzzled, stared at Ye Chen. "Senior Brother, are you… into my Master? I wouldn't mind getting closer to Master, but she's not like that!"

She mused inwardly—her Senior Brother's tastes were getting wild. He'd once mocked Master's inability to protect, wounding her.

Now? Offering to rush to Central Continent at her call, ignoring Central Continent's prodigies yet jumping for her Master. Such a shift! He even eyed her soul-only Master. Would he chase weirder cultivators next? She worried deeply.

Manjusaka glared at Su Yuxuan, her soul diving into her disciple's sea of spirit sense.

Ye Chen, used to such misunderstandings, didn't bother explaining. He flew with Su Yuxuan to the sky, pointing at the two Nether God elders. "What about them?"

Su Yuxuan eyed them, pondering. The elders, trembling, pleaded, "I control a Nether Immortal Pool, boosting Nine Nether Scriptures' cultivation, ideal for Unity breakthroughs. It's usable every century—perfect for the Nether Maiden! I have a Purple Crystal Nether Stone, ideal for Nether God Bodies. As a main material for a Dao Weapon, it eases the strain of maintaining their Divine Ability channel… It's meant for the Fifth Nether Maiden, the only Nether God Body this generation! Please, Nether Maiden, forgive us—we were deceived by the First Nether Son…"

The two elders knew their fate hinged on Su Yuxuan's whim, so they acted wisely. Su Yuxuan's lips curved—she didn't care about their betrayal. With the First Nether Son dead, their support would secure her greater benefits in the Holy Land.

Smiling sweetly, she said, "Exactly, it's all the First Nether Son's fault! Thank you, Elders, for the opportunities."

Relieved by her response, the elders relaxed. Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, smiling at them. "Yuxuan is my partner, but I can't yet go to Central Continent due to some matters… Please take good care of her."

The elders waved off his politeness, not daring to act superior. They'd seen Ye Chen's strength clearly—slaying the formidable First Nether Son in one strike and treating the equally powerful Heavenly Intention Holy Son like a toy. Such a prodigy, whether he ascended or not, would inevitably dominate the immortal path. Surpassing them was just a matter of time. They knew their place. Hearing Ye Chen confirm Su Yuxuan as his woman erased any thoughts of reneging.

From chatting with Heavenly Evolution's elders, they learned how fiercely protective Ye Chen was of his women. Touching or even looking at them was forbidden. The Heavenly Intention Holy Son's gruesome end—sparked by his brother glancing at Ye Chen's master—proved it. A trivial matter led to such a prodigy's downfall. Ye Chen's women were untouchable.

…

From the sky, Ye Chen watched Su Yuxuan and the elders leave, sighing. Who knew when they'd meet again? Not too long, likely, with the immortal path opening soon—he wouldn't miss it.

At that moment, a light boat sailed from the Endless Sea's depths. A refined, transcendent young man in white, bathed in soft holy light, stood aboard. He scanned the crowd, nodding politely to each, his demeanor gentle and elegant. Finally, his gaze settled on Ye Chen, offering a warm smile.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, sensing the man's strength. His temperament resembled Senior Brother's—not sharp like most prodigies, but exceptionally gentle. Which Central Continent prodigy was this?
