Chương 913: Chapter 912: Immortal King Scripture: Heaven-Immortalizing Divine Art!

"Qingwu, I'm coming in…" Ye Chen didn't mind that his fiancée hadn't come out to greet him. That was simply her personality. Even though deep down she was probably aching to climb onto him, her face still carried that signature proud expression. He sent a voice transmission outside Yi Qingwu's cave residence. When no response came, he stepped inside without hesitation. Pushing open the cave door, Ye Chen's eyes lit up at the sight of the two figures seated before him.

His fiancée was rightfully hailed as the foremost young female cultivator of the Great Yan Continent—her beauty needed no elaboration. She perfectly embodied every fantasy a cultivator could have of a goddess. Now, two nearly identical figures sat facing him. The visual impact was overwhelming. At first glance, Ye Chen could find no difference between them. Even their auras were exactly the same. His fiancée had indeed shed her demonic body. At the same moment, a system notification rang in his mind!

"Detected change in gift-recipient multiplier. Updating…"

"Yi Qingwu: 6, 500 times!" A faint smile curved Ye Chen's lips. He hadn't expected that shedding the demonic body and birthing the divine embryo would actually raise her aptitude further. It seemed the evolved divine body matched his acquired Chaos Body even more perfectly. What disappointed him slightly, however, was that only one notification sounded. The system gave no indication of a new compatible gift recipient being detected. Clearly, the two were one and the same.

Even with the naked eye, Ye Chen couldn't tell them apart. But when he gently activated the imprint, one of the figures began to tremble involuntarily. That was obviously the shed demonic body. The other, naturally, was now the true main body. His deliberate activation finally broke Yi Qingwu's pretense of closed-eyed silence. She opened her eyes, her voice like heavenly music: "What are you here for? Why aren't you still staying in the Heavenly Emperor Hall? Or perhaps in An Miaoli's cave residence?"

Ye Chen smiled. It seemed his fiancée knew everything about him in surprising detail. She was clearly quite concerned. And perhaps a little jealous. He actually rather enjoyed this side of her. Still, important matters came first; experiments could wait. Ye Chen sat down in front of her true body and spoke gently: "While I was on the Immortal Path, I was ambushed by the Devouring True Inheritance—Alkaid Holy Son—and obtained some further insights and fragments toward advancing the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

For some time now, I've been trying to complete it. To that end, I deliberately built a good relationship with this generation's Chaos Body, exchanging secrets about the Chaos Body.

"After breaking through to Saint King two months ago, I gained new comprehension of the will of heaven and had fresh ideas for the technique, so I secluded myself for those two months to keep refining it. Unfortunately, human effort has its limits. In the end, I could only push it to the point of approaching an Innate Chaos Body, but it still falls short of truly achieving one! That's why I came here today—to gift this scripture to you, my fiancée. So that you can continue elevating your physique.

"As for what comes after, I won't give up on completing it. Even an Innate Chaos Body isn't the limit—I intend to obtain a technique for you that can elevate all the way to an immortal physique…" With those words, Ye Chen raised his hand. A golden jade slip flew from his palm and floated before Yi Qingwu. Shock and guilt flickered across her porcelain-pale, peerlessly beautiful face as her eyes widened in pleasant surprise. She hadn't really been that jealous—just a little.

Her earlier words had only been an excuse to tease him. But now, after hearing him speak, joy mingled with a storm of complicated emotions in her heart. The Indestructible Heavenly Art was an immortal scripture. Even after she had achieved an Acquired Chaos Body, Ye Chen still wasn't satisfied and had kept working tirelessly for her future? Building rapport with the Chaos Body had been to understand it better and perfect the technique.

After breaking through to Saint King, instead of rushing to see her, he had closed up because he sensed something and wanted to refine the art for her sake. Ye Chen really thought of her every single moment. He loved her far too much. The script she had carefully prepared in her mind was completely overwhelmed; she no longer knew how to respond. Even the cold look she usually wore proved impossible to maintain.

"I'll accept the technique! But don't think that doing this will win my heart… You may be powerful, and I can't resist you, but I will never let you defile my true body! You're only worthy of the demonic body I shed!" Her voice, usually like celestial music, lost its chill and with it some of its edge. Yet the content of her words made Ye Chen's eyes brighten. The next moment, the demonic body rose on its own, determination in every line, and threw itself into Ye Chen's arms. Royal Road is the home of this novel.

An acquired Chaos Body was already overwhelmingly strong. She could feel just how powerful she had become. She naturally looked forward to advancing even further. But right now, she had something far more urgent to attend to. Her beautiful eyes watched the demonic body's actions.

After a brief hesitation, her true body also rose and stood before Ye Chen. … Ye Chen was stunned by his fiancée's initiative. All those words—weren't they just her way of offering herself outright? At the same moment, another system notification rang in his mind and drew his attention away.

"Congratulations to the host on a successful gift…"

"Gift presented: Deduced remnant fragments of the Indestructible Heavenly Art's subsequent stages…"

"Feedback in progress…"

"6, 500× feedback multiplying!"

"Detected that the gift holds extreme importance to the recipient…"

"Top-notch critical hit feedback triggered…"

"Feedback obtained: Heaven-Immortalizing Divine Art!"

"Heaven-Immortalizing Divine Art: Immortal King Scripture created by the Devouring Female Immortal…"

"Allows continuous devouring to achieve the Chaos Immortal Body! Ultimately transforms immortality back into mortality…" Ye Chen stared at the feedback in shock. His fiancée had actually exploded an Immortal King Scripture. This was absurd! And it was none other than the Heaven-Immortalizing Divine Art created by the Devouring Female Immortal! Not only could it achieve an Innate Chaos Body, it could go further to a Chaos Immortal Body. Her future potential was simply incalculable.

As for the final step of transforming immortality back into a mortal body… Ye Chen didn't fully understand the purpose yet, but he guessed it might represent a form of ultimate transcendence. Perhaps once one reached the Immortal King realm, an immortal physique no longer served as an advantage and could instead become a shackle. In any case, this feedback was heaven-defying. And it suited his fiancée perfectly.

With this scripture in hand, her path to achieving an immortal physique would be completely smooth and unobstructed. Best of all, Ye Chen no longer had to worry about her lacking sufficient origin energy. He could now vigorously support her physique advancement while continuously receiving ever-higher multiples of origin feedback in return. That would allow his own Primordial Chaos Supreme Body to finally reach perfect completion! The thought brought an irrepressible smile of delight to Ye Chen's face.

Of course, he couldn't hand her this scripture just yet. He would wait another week. Right now, more pressing matters awaited. His fiancée's demonic body had gone straight to the main act from the very beginning. For the briefest moment, hesitation flickered in Ye Chen's heart. But he quickly relaxed. Clearly, his fiancée had grown impatient—enough to shed her demonic body so urgently. And now she was playing it so roughly, diving right in. He couldn't keep rejecting her at moments like this.

If the demonic body counted, and she later became his true dao companion, then so be it—he would accept it! Her multiplier would only keep rising anyway. Under double bonuses, even a single gift could yield ten thousand times—or even tens of thousands. No real problem there. With that decided, Ye Chen closed his eyes. Seeing his reaction, anticipation surged in Yi Qingwu's heart. Unlike Dantai Xuan's dual souls, Yi Qingwu possessed one soul and two bodies. In essence, she remained a single person.

When Ye Chen finally drew in a sharp breath of cool air, her true body staggered and nearly lost her footing. But moments later, she let out a soft, deeply satisfied sigh. … Though it was a demonic body, its structure and Qi pathways were identical to the true body. After all, it had once been her very flesh. Ye Chen drifted away in ecstasy, floating as though among the immortals… Yet he soon forcibly pulled a thread of clarity back and checked the system. To his surprise, there was no reaction at all.

But no reaction was the best possible reaction. It meant the system had not registered Yi Qingwu as a Dao companion. That was excellent news for Ye Chen. Though he had prepared for the worst, preserving the high multiplier and critical hits would maximize his gains and perfect his Primordial Chaos Supreme Body far faster. The current situation was a perfect win-win. He enjoyed the pleasure without losing any critical-hit benefits. The same held true for his fiancée. Truly, both of them won twice over.

After being tense for so long, Ye Chen finally relaxed completely. He planned to exchange a few words with her. But the next moment, he realized he couldn't speak. Only the rich fragrance of osmanthus kept pouring into his nose. Ye Chen froze. This… How did it feel exactly like what had happened to Senior Dantai Xuan before—only now it was happening to him? Was this the cycle of heaven's retribution? Good and evil both receive their due in the end?

Helpless yet powerless to resist, Ye Chen could only surrender to fate… … In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. His fiancée—still pristine and untouched—showed no sign of stopping. But Ye Chen forcibly interrupted. Under her gaze—puzzled, regretful, charming, and carrying just a hint of reproach—he smiled and spoke.

"Qingwu, don't be in such a hurry yet… An elder from the Devouring lineage contacted me. He's waiting outside the Heavenly Intention Holy Land. There may be good news." At those words, genuine curiosity sparked in his fiancée's eyes. Ye Chen had ties to the Devouring lineage? Now that he knew her thoroughly and no longer hid anything from her, Ye Chen explained directly.

"The Devouring lineage's Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and Ghost-Face Mask—both immortal artifacts—are in my possession. With them, I subdued a Great Saint elder of the Devouring lineage. I'm essentially their true inheritor now.

"I've had them searching for any follow-up stages of the Indestructible Heavenly Art, since legends say the Devouring Female Immortal also created an Immortal King law… I found some clues inside the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and sent them to verify in their ancestral land. They may have results now! So I'll step out for a moment and return right away." With that, Ye Chen gently set both versions of Yi Qingwu aside. Then he hurriedly left the cave residence.

Behind him, the true body and demonic body watched his departing figure with eyes brimming with emotion! Ye Chen had actually infiltrated deep into the Devouring lineage and become their true inheritor? Clearly, he had done it all for her. How much had he sacrificed for her in places she never even knew about? He truly loved her so much!
