Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1126: Chapter 90: Final Stage

Woken up forcibly by Jiang the Witch using demonic techniques, Chen Guanshui came to his senses, and the first reaction was fear.

He was caught off guard and actually fell for it… Who knew the Heavenly Dao would hide a knockout drug in the merit?

If he were truly drugged unconscious and sent to the Immortal Realm, he would probably become the most embarrassing person to ascend ever! Not to mention leaving his ladies here, their resentment festering with no outlet, and if they ascend to the Immortal Realm later and come looking for him one by one to cut him down, he’d truly be doomed!

Luckily, luckily, the ascension was interrupted halfway… Hmm?

Chen Guanshui found that although his consciousness was awake, he had not regained control of his body, and hurriedly asked the Summoning Sword:

“Suming, is there any way to expel this Heavenly Dao will occupying my body?”

“There is.” Before the Summoning Sword could answer, Jiang Lian spoke directly, “This is quite similar to fighting off a Heavenly Demon that has invaded your body. First, you focus your Divine Sense to resist, push the Heavenly Dao will out from the Dantian, and then all the way upwards.”

Chen Zi’ang was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that this is the Heavenly Demon Lady teaching me how to fight against a Heavenly Demon?

Though it sounded strange, he still followed her instructions considering that expertise has its focus. First concentrate the Divine Sense, then spread it outside the Dantian, and push upwards.

…Can’t push.

“That’s for sure.” Jiang Lian continued, “When a body is invaded by a Heavenly Demon, there are two key points that cannot be lost: one is the Sea of Consciousness, and the other is the hands.”

“The Sea of Consciousness can mobilize True Yuan, and the hands can form techniques and seals. If both the Sea of Consciousness and the hands are occupied, not a single spell can be used, and you can only rely on the strength of the Primordial Spirit to confront it directly. But how can you possibly contend with the Heavenly Dao’s will?”

“Then what should I do?” Chen Guanshui asked blankly.

“If it weren’t for me, you’d just have to be at someone’s mercy.” Jiang the Witch laughed heartily, “But fortunately, I’m here. If you sincerely beg me, I might consider… ”

“Please, my lady, save your husband!”

Jiang Lian: ………

This husband compromised so quickly, could it be he’s spineless? So easily begging me, there’s no fun in it!

“You don’t want me to ascend to the Immortal Realm, right, my lady?” Chen Guanshui tested, “I heard the Immortal Realm is full of Golden Immortals, powerful beings everywhere. We, as a couple, would have to keep a low profile if we went there for the first time. It’s much more enjoyable being carefree in this world, isn’t it?”

“I think you just can’t let go of those Daoist companions of yours.” Jiang the Witch said with a cold smile.

Chen Guanshui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized: not only was the fact that “I am Wei Dongliu” exposed, but even the secret of playing multiple roles alone was exposed!

For the other ladies, he could use the grand reason of “I need to mend the heavens” to persuade them, but with Madam Jiang being a Heavenly Demon, using such an excuse would definitely be seeking your own trouble, seeking death!

Utilizing the wit honed from past experiences, Chen Guanshui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said solemnly:

“My lady.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Lian showed a cold smile of “let’s hear how you argue.”

“The reality is set, no matter how I argue, it’s useless. You’re free to kill or flay me!”

“I’ll eat you up!” Jiang the Witch immediately flared up, and demonic mist surged forward, wrapping around Chen Guanshui’s Nascent Soul.

Enduring the pain of being eroded, Chen Guanshui simply shouted;

“Eat quickly, eat quickly! After eating me, go find a new groom and remarry! But he must be more handsome than me, stronger than me, and better at making you laugh, otherwise, I won’t rest in peace even in death!”

This reminded Madam Jiang: a husband as interesting as this one probably couldn’t be found again throughout the Cultivation Realm, eating him would indeed be a waste.

So she stopped in time, once again transforming into a coquettish form, and asked coldly:

“Why, do I need your consent for whoever I choose to marry?”

“Does my lady feel she can’t find someone better?” Chen Guanshui retorted.

Jiang Madam was at a loss for words, thinking to herself this husband is rather confident. Why is he so sure I won’t kill him?

She looked at the passive Summoning Sword on the side and suddenly understood.

This life-bound sword artifact showed no reaction, clearly having seen through her reluctance to kill her husband herself. And seeing this sword spirit not come to his rescue, the husband naturally guessed that he was actually safe.

Tsk, being too smart is a problem, not easy to deceive.

“Even if I don’t eat you, I can eat all your wives!” Jiang the Witch threatened fiercely.

“If my lady insists, remember to leave some remains for me to mourn during the Qingming festival after you’re done.” Chen Guanshui said calmly.

Jiang Lian: ???

She took a moment to understand the key point inside.

Indeed, if she did go after those women, the husband would be unable to prevent it.

But a man’s nature is “what he can’t get is the best.” If those women die, wouldn’t the husband mourn them all day?

Though being a Heavenly Demon, Jiang the Witch also understood the principle of “unable to defeat the dead,” and immediately said:

“I won’t eat them, I’ll lock them up instead. If you make me unhappy, I’ll disarm this person and dismantle that person’s leg to vent my anger!”

This Madam Jiang had already changed her words three times, and Chen Guanshui saw through her harsh exterior but timid nature, so he naturally wouldn’t continue arguing with her and just yielded, saying:

“Then I, as your husband, can only follow my wife’s orders… But if I can’t regain my body now and end up sent to the Immortal Realm by the Heavenly Dao, what should I do?”

“Don’t rush.” Jiang Lian An pondered and said, “The current situation is quite complex, I need to think carefully about what to do.”

It is said that after Chen Guanshui’s consciousness awakened, the will of the Heavenly Dao within him no longer obstructed Jiang the Witch and the Summoning Sword, but rather sealed the dantian layer upon layer, then freed up to settle things outside.

Thus, the direct pressure on the Three Immortals suddenly increased, coupled with Chen Guanshui’s ascension degree rising, his cultivation realm increasingly approaching the Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal, to the extent that each showed signs of weakness. However, with the Nascent Soul Elders behind them, they couldn’t retreat, only withstand it bitterly.

From afar, Long Hu observed and hurriedly said to Ying Long:

“Father, they don’t seem to hold on much longer.”

Ying Long observed the battle and involuntarily cursed secretly in his heart.

This Human Race immortals are unreliable, ultimately we still have to step in and seize the opportunity.

He turned to inquire of Mad Dragon:

“How goes the senior?”

“Can step in any moment,” Mad Dragon said calmly.

“Let’s move.” Ying Long said in a deep voice, beginning to rise.

The massive body broke through the sea surface, two Jiaolong soared into the clouds, exhibiting the Dragon Clan spells and divine skills.

It was clear skies just moments ago, but suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, thunder rumbled, the sea wind grew frenzied, as if a storm was imminent.

The cultivators immediately formed arrays to cope with these unexpected guests. When they saw the arrival clearly, Long Eyebrow Immortal instantly flew into a rage, rapidly forming sword techniques with his hands, ready to redirect the Dual Polarity Dust Sword’s attack direction, only to be stopped by Chi Song Immortal from the side.

“They might not be here to provoke us,” he advised, “Let’s see what they intend to do.”

The two massive dragons arrogantly swept through the crowd, an overwhelming dragon’s might weighed heavily. Some Nascent Soul cultivators with weaker cultivation realms had to retreat incessantly, almost falling off their flying swords into the sea.

Suddenly, the thunder roared, yet it wasn’t heavenly lightning descending but Chen Guanshui sensing hostility and had already released the Polar Thunder.

Polar Thunder is an ancient thunder method developed by the Human Race specifically to counter the Dragon Clan, so even Ying Long didn’t dare take it head-on, rapidly descending into the cloud mist to dodge, raising his head again, releasing a large breath filled with five-colored light, containing the complete Five Elements.

The innate divine abilities of Xuan Gui, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Qilin inherently tend to lean toward certain elements due to their bloodline limitations, inevitably subject to restraint.

Originally, Jiaolong, like Xuan Gui, belonged to water, but if ascended to the peak of Ying Long bloodline, dragon breath would turn complete with Five Elements, leaving no weaknesses at all.

This five-colored dragon breath surged like a pillar, even the Heavenly Dao will felt pressure, because the Five Elements Divine Light utilizes the principles of Five Elements generation and restraint, capable of achieving victory over stronger opponents when confronting any spells within the Five Elements.

Yet if the opponent also possesses complete Five Elements, then the advantage of Five Elements Divine Light cannot manifest, hence Chen Guanshui could only avoid the sharp edge, swiftly maneuvering and dodging using the Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step, plummeting downward in the air to evade the dragon breath.

Long Eyebrow Immortal immediately acted, weaving the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation to trap Chen Guanshui within.

Chen Guanshui forcibly cleaved it open with swordsmanship, just about to break through the sword formation gap, when Chi Song Immortal instantly spat out the green spirit arrow to forcefully hit him back into the sword formation.

There’s hope! Those below immediately felt a surge of spirit.

Shi Liuli watched clearly, secretly thought:

“The joining of these Dragon Clan cultivators just happens to alter the power balance between both sides. It seems now that the will of the Heavenly Dao is out of options to overturn the situation.”

“However, after the will of the Heavenly Dao is defeated, I suppose husband won’t have much True Yuan left. When that time comes, whoever can seize him home still has a genuine battle ahead.”

She glanced again at the other two, only to see Xu Yinglian already quietly positioned at the forefront of the Kunlun formation, apparently ready to rush out the moment the will of the Heavenly Dao collapses to reclaim her senior brother.

Only An Zhisu remained among the Shushan Peak Masters, silent, seemingly haggling over the Sun True Obscure Sword.

With this thought, Shi Liuli drew another divination.

Then she quietly gathered the copper coin, secretly transmitting to Wan Xiang Immortal:

“Immortal, be cautious, husband probably still has a powerful attack move not yet unleashed.”

Wan Xiang Immortal’s expression remained unchanged, similarly transmitting back:

“No need to worry, I’m aware of it.”

Whether it’s a reputable cultivator or a wandering loose cultivator, who wouldn’t prepare a bottom-line life-saving move?

Especially this Jingyun, whose accumulated strength bursts forth, even ordinary attack methods casually wielded are far superior to other cultivators’ life-saving trump cards, leaving everyone else with no time to consider other things… but no one would naively think he only knows these methods.

A trump card is a trump card not just because it’s one’s strongest attack method, but also because it’s never been used in front of others, thus at a critical moment, it can rely on surprise to secure survival.

As for what Chen Guanshui’s trump card may be, although no one opened their mouth, Wan Xiang Immortal firmly believed that both Chi Song and Long Eyebrow are guarding against this move too!
