Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 123: Worried Chen Daoxuan

Just as Li Shenruo had mustered her fighting spirit, the words of the Great elder extinguished it like a bucket of cold water. Even if an elder at the Divinity Separation Realm couldn't breach this defense, there truly seemed to be no need for her to take action…

The Great elder wasn't speaking in vain. He had keenly felt the power of Leng Yanran's Heavenly Demon Finger just now. It wasn't any weaker than his full-powered strike, and perhaps even a bit stronger!

But even the Heavenly Demon Finger couldn't pierce through Li Yourong's Holy Dragon Transformation. This proved that Yourong had already reached a point where she could fend off attacks from the Divinity Separation Realm with this divine art!

The reason they stopped Li Shenruo from acting was solely to protect her wounded self-esteem.

After the farce, Li Shenruo quietly entered seclusion. This time, her eagerly anticipated emergence from seclusion had been dealt a heavy blow. Given her temperament, she naturally found it hard to accept.

Within the Holy Mountain, several elders busied themselves with their respective duties after repairing Yourong's grand hall. Since that day, Leng Yanran had secluded herself, intending to let her junior sister enjoy her time on the mountain.

Li Yourong was the happiest of all. She didn't usually practice, and now even the elders of the Holy Mountain didn't dare urge her to do so. After all, although Yourong was from the Holy Mountain, she had become a disciple of that terrifying figure, and they couldn't dictate to her.

As a result, the unfortunate one was the giant white goose on the mountain, particularly Second Elder, who had to cook for her every day, experimenting with various dishes.

In the past, Second Elder could refuse Yourong's requests to cook, but now, he didn't dare! Especially after witnessing the fate of the Ren Clan, and having personally seen the terrifying master behind Yourong, whenever Yourong said she wanted something to eat, he immediately set about preparing it.

Over the course of half a month, time passed quickly on the mountain, everything was in order, except for the sharply dwindling population of the giant white geese. These geese raised on the Holy Mountain were no ordinary poultry; each one was at the Qi Condensation realm. Eating them also benefited cultivators. Originally, there were only thirty to fifty…

…

Heavenly Dao Hall.

Chen Daoxuan idly sipped his tea, absentmindedly stroking the furry ears of Yu Youwei

"Ah… It's been half a month, and I still haven't received any system notifications. At this rate, as a master like me, it's going to be difficult to advance in realm!"

Originally, he had left his two disciples in the Eastern Domain for them to gain experience, partly for their own sake. But most importantly… with so many influential forces in the Eastern Domain, it was far stronger than this backwater Northern Domain.

Just the Ren Clan alone earned him several hundred thousand system points. If he could take care of a few more fools, he could earn enough system points to break through the Unity realm!

Yet, half a month had passed, and there hadn't been any notifications of his disciples killing enemies. This meant that both of his disciples were in a very safe situation.

Tch… This won't do!

"Youwei, would you like to go out and have some fun? Anywhere in the Eastern, Southern, Western, or Northern Domain is fine. Or you could go to the Central Region. Isn't staying on the mountain boring?"

Chen Daoxuan glanced at Yu Youwei and found her comfortably squinting her eyes. He decided to suggest it.

His two disciples were too cautious, not having provoked any strong enemies in half a month. This made him, as their master, very anxious. He even turned his thoughts towards Yu Youwei.

"Mew… Youwei just wants to be by Master's side. Youwei doesn't want to go anywhere. Being by Master's side is the most comfortable. It's never boring."

Upon hearing her master's words, Yu Youwei blinked her eyes and replied with a plaintive tone.

Upon hearing this unsurprising response, Chen Daoxuan could only sigh. He then turned his gaze to the Enlightenment Tea Tree… Feeling master's gaze, the Enlightenment Tea Tree twitched.

"Oh, you haven't transformed yet, so you can't leave the mountain. Tsk tsk, these overly comfortable days are really giving me a headache."

Chen Daoxuan's mouth twitched as he glanced at his current system points. He was still more than six hundred thousand points away from breaking through the Unity realm.

Six hundred thousand points might not be few, but considering the power of the Eastern Domain, a couple of fools were more than enough.

Or perhaps he could take advantage of this situation, much like he had subjugated the Northern Domain, and bring order to the entire Eastern Domain. They could pay tribute annually, and given the Eastern Domain's situation, they could contribute several million points' worth of heavenly materials and treasures, even up to tens of millions of system points!

Suddenly, Chen Daoxuan felt a vibration from his embrace.

Reaching in, he pulled out the item, only to find that it was the spiritual vein he had acquired from the Ren Clan.

"Oh, I forgot about this spiritual vein."

Chen Daoxuan looked at the small dragon-shaped spiritual vein in his hand, stroking his chin as he pondered.

After he retrieved the spiritual vein, Yu Youwei sniffled and curiously leaned over, peering at it. After glancing a few times, finding it uninspiring, she finally nestled onto her master's leg.

Upon inquiring with the system, Chen Daoxuan discovered that this spiritual vein could be exchanged for a whopping three hundred thousand system points!

"Well, three hundred thousand system points wouldn't be of much use for now. Better to save them."

After a moment's contemplation, even with three hundred thousand system points at his disposal, he couldn't break through to the next major realm of Unity. Thus, he decided not to exchange them immediately.

With a thought, he placed the spiritual vein within the area of the Heavenly Dao Hall, encompassing a radius of fifty thousand meters. Originally spanning thousands of miles, the spiritual vein's effects naturally increased several times after being condensed.

For a moment, the already richly spiritual atmosphere around the Heavenly Dao Hall grew slightly humid. The spiritual energy was now almost like mist, even condensing into droplets on the eaves and pavilions, forming spiritual liquid.

Even the leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree were adorned with a layer of dew-like spiritual liquid. Paired with the strands of spiritual mist, it resembled an otherworldly paradise.

…

After half a month, the Holy Mountain received two significant pieces of news.

Firstly, the Northern Domain had now been completely unified, with the Empress of the North, Leng Yanran!

Upon learning this news, the several elders of the Holy Mountain weren't too surprised. After all, Leng Yanran's current strength left these Eastern Domain old fogies feeling inferior. Unifying the Northern Domain was a piece of cake for her.

"Yourong, you've heard about the Empress of the Northern Domain, right?"

During a casual mealtime chat, Second Elder asked nonchalantly.

"Of course, Yourong knows, hmph! To dare call herself an Empress, once Yourong returns to the Northern Domain, she must be properly taught a lesson!"

Li Yourong fiercely bit into a goose leg in her hand, pretending to be fierce.

"Hmm? You want to discipline the Northern Domain's Empress?"

Upon hearing this, Second Elder's whole being fell into confusion and bewilderment.

What in the world was going on?

Weren't Yourong and her senior sister, Leng Yanran, on good terms? How did they end up fighting over the title of Empress?
