A month ago, after Luo Hao switched to cultivating a Nascent Soul realm technique called the Heavenly Phoenix Mantra, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Once she converted all the cursed energy in her body into magical power, she went straight from nothing to breaking through to the Golden Core realm in one breath.
However, after that, her cultivation could no longer skyrocket like a rocket.
Even with her supreme spiritual root, breaking through from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul realm through normal cultivation would require decades of bitter training.
Just like Yan Qing, who also possessed a supreme spiritual root.
But having experienced the thrill of rapid cultivation progress, how could Luo Hao endure this?
Not to mention that although Golden Core realm cultivation was powerful...
Her strength within the chat group was already at the third tier, comparable to the Nascent Soul realm, so there wasn't much of a significant enhancement.
At most, her magical power was slightly stronger than her cursed energy, allowing her to use her Authorities a few more times.
Therefore, Luo Hao immediately sought out Chen Changsheng to ask if there was a way to rapidly improve her cultivation.
What happened next went without saying.
Coaxed by Chen Changsheng, Luo Hao was completely devoured, leaving nothing behind.
Her cultivation also reached the peak of the Golden Core realm in just a short half-month.
This terrifying speed made Luo Hao completely infatuated with Chen Changsheng.
And the returns Chen Changsheng received were even more terrifying.
The six great Authority crystals within Luo Hao's body were laid bare before his eyes, as if stripped completely naked.
Under the powerful abilities of the Yin-Yang Sacred Physique, over the past half-month, Chen Changsheng had completely comprehended the six Authorities within Luo Hao's body, transforming them into six Dao Seeds.
Even before the Dao Seeds had fully matured, his cultivation had broken through directly to the Soul Formation realm, reaching the first level of Soul Formation.
Other cultivators wanting to break through to Soul Formation had to bring the Dao Seeds in their bodies to complete mastery, and any subsequent improvement required continuing to deepen their comprehension of the Dao until they grasped the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth; only then could they step into the Void Refinement realm.
However, Chen Changsheng's Yin-Yang Sacred Physique intrinsically contained the Great Dao of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth. He only needed to absorb more Dao Seeds and Great Daos; when his Sacred Physique reached grand completion, that would be the moment he reached the peak of the Body Integration realm.
...
"Lian'er, since you have already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, there is no need to delay our wedding any longer, right?"
"Naturally."
Luo Hao nodded.
Actually, half a month ago, Chen Kun had informed them that all the preparations for the wedding were complete.
Upon learning of Chen Changsheng's upcoming wedding, Yan Qing even volunteered to help invite the major factions of the Great Yan Kingdom.
This naturally included the only two Nascent Soul-level factions in the Great Yan Kingdom.
However, after hearing Yan Qing's words, Luo Hao hesitantly suggested to Chen Changsheng that they wait until she broke through to the Nascent Soul realm before holding the ceremony.
Chen Changsheng naturally knew why Luo Hao felt this way.
Nascent Soul cultivators were already at the top of the pyramid in the Great Yan Kingdom.
If she were only at the Golden Core realm during her wedding to Chen Changsheng, even at the peak of the Golden Core, her strength would be unequal to his in the eyes of those from the major factions.
But if she were a Nascent Soul cultivator, then in the eyes of most people, she and Chen Changsheng would be peers.
Someone as prideful as her naturally wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before marrying Chen Changsheng.
"Then let's set the time for half a month from now. We also need to give Chen Kun and Yan Qing some time to prepare."
Chen Changsheng nodded. His divine sense covered the entire Chen family, informing Chen Kun and Yan Qing of this news.
Receiving the news, Chen Kun and Yan Qing had entirely different emotions in their hearts.
Chen Kun was thrilled. Chen Changsheng and Luo Hao hadn't hidden from him Luo Hao's desire to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before the wedding.
Originally, he had thought this wait would likely take decades, but unexpectedly, Luo Hao had broken straight through to the Nascent Soul realm in just half a month.
This meant that starting today, the Chen family possessed two Nascent Soul Patriarchs. They were already the strongest family in the Great Yan Kingdom; even the Great Yan Royal Family was now a notch weaker.
Yan Qing, on the other hand, had a face full of disappointment.
Clearly, she was the first...
...
[Innate Wife-Marrying Physique: Everyone, in half a month, I will be marrying Luo Hao. I hope you can all come to show your support.]
[Stumbled into a High-End Game: Wuwuwu, I'm so jealous.]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Congratulations, Brother Changsheng! But I can't afford 100,000 points, how can I go show my support?]
[Sect Master of Yunlan: Although I can afford 100,000 points, but...]
[Dual Cultivator of Buddha and Dao: I probably can't go either.]
[God of Angels: 100,000 points... A ten-thousand-year spirit bone is only worth 500 points, I can't afford it either.]
[Wielder of the Tyrant's Eye: Same here.]
[Innate Wife-Marrying Physique: Naturally, I won't let you pay for your own tickets. A mere few hundred thousand points is nothing to me.]
[Innate Wife-Marrying Physique sent 8 targeted red envelopes.]
[Gu Xiaoxiao claimed a red envelope, receiving: 100,000 points]
[Kashiwagi Eri claimed...]
...
Chen Changsheng wasn't just acting like a big shot; he genuinely had the points.
Ever since he obtained the Harvest Dao Seed, not only were the tier-three and tier-four spiritual herbs previously planted by the Mu Bing'er sisters easily ripened by him...
He had also spent the past month collecting many high-grade spiritual plant seeds and planting them in the backyard.
Now, his points had reached a terrifying fifty million.
And it was steadily increasing at a rate of a million per day.
The Harvest Dao Seed didn't provide any combat bonuses, but when it came to earning points, it could be called a divine skill.
However, the Harvest Dao was only a minor Dao, and Chen Changsheng's cultivation was merely at the first level of the Soul Formation realm. Therefore, the highest grade of spiritual herbs and plants he could rapidly ripen was only tier-five.
Starting from tier-six, the effectiveness of the Harvest Dao Seed was greatly diminished.
After all, tier-six already corresponded to the Soul Formation realm. Spiritual herbs at this level easily took tens of thousands of years to mature. Even if Chen Changsheng could accelerate their growth, it would still take several years, which simply wasn't worth the effort.
Moreover, in the chat group, the various added values of high-tier items basically didn't exist.
The value of a tier-six spiritual herb or plant was only a few dozen times that of a tier-five one.
But the efficiency of ripening a tier-five spiritual herb was over ten million times that of a tier-six one.
Naturally, Chen Changsheng wouldn't do such a thankless task.
[Stumbled into a High-End Game: Brother Changsheng is so generous! I will definitely be there to show my support in half a month!]
[Kashiwagi Eri: Same here!]
[The Empire's Strongest Female General: @Innate Wife-Marrying Physique, I've already applied, please approve it.]
[Sect Master of Yunlan: ...]
[Wielder of the Tyrant's Eye: ...]
[Emperor of the Ages: Isn't Miss Ai being a bit too forward?]
[The Empire's Strongest Female General: What's wrong with being forward? Also! My name is Esdeath, but my surname isn't Ai!]
[God of Angels: I can't understand. Over here, even someone named Bibi Dong has the surname Bi.]
[Dual Cultivator of Buddha and Dao: There are people with the surname Bi? How strange.]
[Stumbled into a High-End Game: Ah! Aren't we getting off-topic!? The more important thing is that following Sister Luo Hao, this girl Esdeath also wants to give herself away for free! Damn it!!]
[Martial Arts King: @Stumbled into a High-End Game, be careful when you come to the Cultivation World!]
[Stumbled into a High-End Game: Waaaah! Sister Luo Hao, that's a threat, right!?]
[Stumbled into a High-Level Game: @Innate Wife-Taking Holy Body, look at this! Sister Luo Hao is threatening me! You cannot have such a fierce woman!]
[Innate Wife-Taking Holy Body: How about you just don't come...]
Chen Changsheng's mouth twitched as he watched Gu Xiaoxiao openly trying to sow discord.
He had a nagging feeling that if he let Gu Xiaoxiao come to his world, his harem would never know peace again.
After all, he had already sent messages to Mu Xue'er, Mu Bing'er, and Mu Qingling from the Bright Jade Palace, asking them to come back for a visit as well.
Right at that moment, another message in the group caught his attention.
[Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Gods as a Mortal: @Innate Wife-Taking Holy Body, thanks a lot, buddy! But can I bring someone with me?]
[Martial Arts King: The Cross-World Talisman sold in the chat group can only be used by one person.]
[Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Gods as a Mortal: Oh, Fxxk!]
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
