Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 641: Tormenting Wait!

In the small world, eleven immortal roots swayed, radiant with endless light. Above, immortal artifacts circled, especially the Dao Cauldron, exuding profound Dao truths. At the center, in the Star Pool, water rippled, peach blossoms drifting with the waves.

In the pool, Ye Chen, now the rebellious disciple, gazed down at his master. A tear slid from Gu Yunyun's eyes.

Ye Chen didn't act, gently wiping her tear, locking eyes with her. Memories flooded his mind.

Gu Yunyun, filled with joy and melancholy, shyly turned away under his gaze. Seeing him lost in thought, she bit her lip, wanting to speak but too embarrassed.

Back at Green Cloud Peak, she'd often overheard Ye Chen's cultivation. She'd used it to temper her heart, but failed. The spiritual spring from the peak sometimes carried peach blossom fragrance.

Now, experiencing it herself, she was content. She waited patiently. But after a long while, Ye Chen was still lost in thought. Feeling teased, she bit him.

Ye Chen snapped back, seeing a peach petal in her hair, and smiled. His master couldn't wait. No longer gentle, he acted…

…

In the Sword Sect, Dugu Sheng, the nuisance, was gone, easing Luo Bingling. As an outsider, she shouldn't linger. But Ye Chen's transcendent status kept the sect from expelling her. Daily, she cultivated or loitered near Gu Yunyun's cave. She even triggered the array's restrictions, urging Ye Chen to hurry. No response came.

Luo Bingling grew frustrated. What was Ye Chen doing? Great Yan's spiritual Qi was weaker than the Central Continent's. The Sword Sect, with just one Saint, was worse. For the War God Clan at Mahayana, cultivation slowed drastically. Here, it was even slower. The wait was torture.

One week…

Half a month…

One month…

One and a half months…

Her eyes dulled. She couldn't fathom it. What was Ye Chen doing? Why so long? Didn't he care about the Space Divine Stone?

She wanted to leave. Staying in Great Yan wasted her cultivation time. But she couldn't. The Dao Cauldron might be with Ye Chen. If she got it, it'd fix her slow cultivation. She could even surpass that divine son, sealed in divine source, revived to steal her spotlight.

Her eyes darkened. This era should've been hers. She was the most talented. But that divine son took everything, forcing her to this backwater, degrading herself to humans. Given a chance, she'd kill him first. He couldn't win in his era, so he robbed the young now? Despicable, die! And Ye Chen, making her wait so long, must die too! Everyone must die!

Two months passed in torment and rage. One day, cultivating, Luo Bingling's eyes widened, her toned waist and radiant navel glowing. She sensed Ye Chen's aura. That dog, making her wait, was finally out! Without hesitation, she flew to Gu Yunyun's cave.

Ye Chen, holding his master's hand, stepped out of the cave. After two months in the small world, Gu Yunyun's cool beauty carried a new mature charm. The long stay was Ye Chen's care for her, knowing she disliked crowds, cherishing their time together.

They weren't relentless for two months. In spare moments, Ye Chen taught her the Sword Grass Treasure Technique, pouring out his insights. He gave her immortal qi, divine pills—everything. He even cultivated, using the Dao Cauldron, advancing to late First Heaven.

Now, two months later, having savored his master's beauty, she was ready to seclude for a breakthrough. It was time for him to leave. At the cave entrance, wanting to say more to her, he sensed a rapid aura.

Luo Bingling appeared. "Fellow Daoist Ye, done? Let's go!"

She glanced at them, lingering on Gu Yunyun. Her high cultivation saw Gu Yunyun's primordial yin was gone, unlike last time. This deepened her disdain for Ye Chen.

Two months for this? Was it that fun? Wasting two months when he could've cultivated? What was better than growing stronger?

She couldn't fathom it but despised him more. If not for his talent, she wouldn't spare him a glance.

Ye Chen, interrupted, glanced at her. He wanted to reject this alien outright. She'd claimed urgency, yet waited two months. Urgent or not? Schrödinger's urgency? Any fool could see something was off.

Logically, knowing this, he shouldn't go. But after a thought, he said, "Can't. I need to return to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land first, then head to Central Continent!"

"What?"

Luo Bingling's abs tensed in frustration. I waited two months, and you need to go to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land? Urgent, urgent, urgent… she wanted to press him.

Ye Chen glanced at her. "If Fellow Daoist Luo's in a rush, go alone."

She shut up. After two months, no way she'd give up now.

Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a cold smirk. He turned, sincerely bidding his master farewell, promising a swift return.

Gu Yunyun, seeing his enthusiasm and recalling his wild demands over two months, bit her lip and scoffed, "Rebellious disciple!"
