Clang-!
Sou-!
The bronze coin fell to my palms. A fleeting sensation emerged in my heart, showing nothing but peace. Undercurrents existed, but they are far from becoming an ominous event. Simply put, I don’t have any other events to worry about now.
Carrying a peace of mind, I returned back to my residence at the top of Mount Tai. The mountain had long been affected by the sect’s spirit veins. Its soil turned into spiritual soil capable of breathing life. Its size expanded several dozen times, becoming somewhat unrecognizable from the Mount Tai I previously knew.
This time, I managed to enter my residence without a hitch. The stone pathway is as clean as it could be, devoid of dirt and dust. The towering tree planted in the courtyard grew thicker compared to my last visit. It bore several flowers on its branches, emitting a faint fragrance. On its thicker shade hang small peach-like fruits.
That was the Immortal Peach Tree, the ‘fabled’ spiritual treasure that could make someone ascend to a ‘Taiyi Golden Immortal' from being a mortal. The golden orb gave it out as an eighth-grade spiritual plant. Converted to the immortal cultivation it brought, it raises one’s realm to the Divine Transformation Realm with zero drawbacks. The only disadvantage is its growth time.
Despite the eighth-grade spirit vein’s nourishment, it still could not cut down the eons of time needed for its growth. It has only been centuries, after all. It will be left in the future.
After checking its current vigorous state, I headed inside the villa. Nothing changed from how I could remember it. Even the coziness of the couch was the same.
“Hm..?”
Until I stopped on a certain part. It is soft and dry, but I noticed traces of a Dao being used on it. Curiously, I brought up its past through the Remembrance Path.
Crack-!
The memories of this place emerged, recreating the past. The first thing that greeted me was a set of heavy breathing. I looked to my left, and to my surprise, saw Sin sitting on that suspicious spot. She was hugging a white pillow to her face. Her legs shook intensely as her breathing grew heavier. As for her hands…
They reached out to that hidden spot.
“Ugh… Hm…”
I stood still, frozen. I did not expect to see her masturbating at my home. But it made more sense the more I thought of it. My absence in the past four hundred years is no joke. We were still on our ‘honeymoon phase’ when I went off to Amphoreus, only to return in a coma. It is completely understandable she used to satiate her desires like this.
I did not continue watching her solo play.
Shatter-!
The memory projection crumbled to pieces, reverting my surroundings to normal. I sat on the couch, looking at the black television in a daze. I need to consider what I will do next.
Since my return, Kiana was the only one who received my affection. She did, after all, pull me straight to a dual cultivation session right after waking up. I thought she was the horniest of the bunch, but I am gravely mistaken. Everyone craves for my presence. I have to make up for my absence in some way, even if that means messing up our schedules to a certain extent.
It is incredibly unfair to them for this harem to exist in the first place. Not being able to do that would make me no different from scum.
“Fu…”
I decided on a plan. I would leave out another week for everyone to recover, then I would have to make it all up. I stood up from the couch and went straight to the villa’s basement. A set of stairs led straight to an iron door. I touched it with my hand, causing it to tremble.
Before long, it parted, revealing a basement room. Faint inscriptions are present all over its walls, converging on the center. A futon pillow was placed atop the center, giving a keen shine. Spiritual qi condensed similar to a dew, with each one of them containing a ‘phenomenon’ vast enough to cover the entirety of Earth. They exist in a similar way as a ‘Sumeru Seed’. Every drop was comparable to a ‘world’. Such was the mystical effect of an eighth-grade spirit vein.
All of them converged into a single point—at the futon.
The moment I sat down on it, the world in my perception changed. These phenomena unhesitantly presented themselves in my bare eyes. The truths of every Dao became apparent. My realm, which is at the early stage of Void Refinement Realm, rose visibly.
I did not stop there.
The Tao Gifts gathered by my Xiutian Art began flooding my true body. The soft, golden glow turned into the purest spiritual essence. My realm skyrocketed at a shocking speed.
Just as I was about to continue, a loud sound interrupted my cultivation session.
Ring-!
Beep-!
The bell-like sound grated my soul, forcing me to leave this exhilarating state. I stood up from the futon and found a floating alarm clock emitting continuous annoying sounds. I saw the date and time on its clock body, showing a week had passed. My sense of time was so skewed it felt like a blink.
I scanned my progress and saw it advance considerably. The original two hundred years I estimated for the early stage was reduced to twenty years. I did not find it unreasonable. I reached Formlessness in Blade Mantra and also possessed eighth-level Tao Heart. It would be strange if I did not experience such an increase in cultivation speed. There is also the seventh-grade Realm Breaking Pill Seele made us. It will allow me to break through two minor realms consecutively, and at the shortest time necessary at that. Considering this trend, I could reach the pinnacle of the Void Refinement Realm in less than two hundred years.
Hence, the importance of the barrier’s current state became more evident. Someone has to come out and buy enough time. We will have to talk about this later on.
As soon as I stepped out of the basement, the ambient spiritual qi stopped converging on the futon. They gradually dispersed on air, the phenomena they contained disappearing.
I took a look at my storage ring and found some, well, useful things. Kiana and Seele were the ones who prepared all of my supplies. Speechlessly, I found True Yang Enhancement Pills, all of which were in the seventh-grade. It is the cultivator version of viagra.
I don’t know whether they did it out of concern or out of their desire to tease me, but I had to make a comeback. Ofcourse, it will be a match in bed.
I stepped out of my residence, physically and mentally prepared for what is about to come.
