Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Chapter 200: Long-Awaited Breakthrough

Chapter 200: Long-Awaited Breakthrough

The battle between five immortals concluded as the bodies of the fire and ice wolves turned to dust. Chen Wentian breathed a sigh of relief. Everything had gone according to plan and none of his disciples were harmed.

"Great job, Jasmine." He said as he flew to her.

"Now what?" Jasmine asked.

"We're leaving." He said and grabbed her hand, "Let's go."

They flew down to ground and met his disciples who had emerged from the carriage.

"So? What happened?" Lin Qingcheng asked eagerly. "How did you defeat the two wolves like that?"

Chen Wentian just smiled and gave her a tight hug, "Thanks, Chengcheng. You were awesome and brave during the battle. I'm proud of you."

Lin Qingcheng giggled and gave him a kiss on the cheek in return. He went around and thanked each of the girls in turn. Some simply hugged him while others did the same as their senior sister. His cheeks were bright red with lipstick by the time he got to Long Yifei, who had a calm and impassive expression.

"Yifei, about using you as bait I couldn't really describe to you in words how ugly the green goblin was and I'm sorry if that shocked you." He said awkwardly, rubbing his head.

Long Yifei finally gave him a smile and kissed his cheek as well. "Master, you were amazing. Disciple has nothing to fear when you are with me!"

"Good, hahaha, good! Today is a good day, we're going to have another awesome celebration!"

Everyone, including Jasmine, cheered at this.

Chen Wentian led them away from the battlefield and found a suitable place for camp. Along with the usual food items and spiritual wine, he also pulled out the cleaned carcass of a peak Spirit Initiate Realm crescent moon deer from his spatial ring. He set up a large roasting pit and started cooking it using his blue flames.

Such a powerful crescent moon deer was an incredible delicacy and usually cost over twenty thousand taels of gold. He had obtained it thanks to intel from his trusty spy within the Beast God Sanctum who told him when it was going to be sold and where.

Jasmine was immediately enthralled by the cooking meat and stuck to him like a limpet, constantly sniffing at the meaty, fatty aroma and drooling uncontrollably.

"Come on, is it done yet?" She whined.

"Not yet not yet!" He said and tried to push her away.

"Chen Wentian, I better get half. I had to suffer against those two mutts for so long because of you!"

"Half? You greedy girl Did you hear that, Wushuang? She said she wants half!"

He tried to get her help but Song Wushuang only laughed and took Jasmine's side, "Elder Jasmine performed the most difficult task today. Master shouldn't be stingy; she should get half if she wants it."

"Hah! Did you hear that, stingy!"

Chen Wentian and Jasmine continued bickering back and forth while the meat cooked. When it was finally done, he gave her what she wanted which shut her up immediately.

"Don't eat too much" He muttered as he placed half of the precious meal in front of her, "If you eat too much, you might throw it back up."

"Noisy!"

The point gathering operation resumed the next day and it went very smoothly now that the threat of the monster immortals was gone. Various beast and demon habitats and territories were swept away one after another, causing a massive migration southward as planned.

The uneventful days allowed Chen Wentian to use half a mind to sort out his brand-new prizes within his soul space. He first studied the memories of the wolf siblings and he found, much to his chagrin, that they weren't the brightest minds in the world.

They submitted to him more quickly than any other immortal beast which surprised him. He thought it was due to the awesome story of breaking through the Spirit Demigod Realm as well as the pressure from the blue dragon and other immortal souls. But actually, it was because these two were quite simply minded. Other souls like the Golden Serpent had taken much longer time to merge and required a great deal of forceful persuasion. These wolves simply rolled over and gave up

Another great irony was that Chen Wentian's bait plan wasn't some genius and intricate scheme. The wolves and the green goblin fell for it because their collective intelligence and wisdom could not even compare to a single human immortal.

It wasn't all bad however. They were still immortal wisdom beasts after all. They had great natural strength and their innate affinity for their respective elements were incredible. Their talent was substantial enough for their beast king to commit a great deal of resources to help then breakthrough to the immortal realm.

Their prior lord was a Spirit King Realm beast called a magma toad. It was a small amphibian that loved lava and volcanoes instead of water. It was one of the three beast kings leading the monster invasion and it resided deep in the wilderness within a fiery purgatory known to the wolves as the Great Smoky Mountains.

Monster immortals were similar to humans in that they were constantly searching for strong subordinates to raise up and be their trusty generals. Loss of three immortals in one blow would no doubt make the toad king mad with rage. Perhaps the toad king would charge over the Cloudy Mountain and turn it into an ocean of molten lava?

Chen Wentian thought it was unlikely. He wasn't worried of any potential fallout and buried the thought in the back of his mind

The wolf siblings were given Summer and Winter's Eternal Sutra to improve their elemental abilities. Beasts normally could not cultivate human Dao but his soul art had no such restrictions. They also had such powerful affinities for ice and fire that they should be able to comprehend the secret art easily.

Their immortal souls would be placed into weapons as soon as possible and given to the ice sisters. Having the wolves learn Summer and Winter's Eternal Sutra would perfectly complement the ice sister's future growth. He wasn't sure exactly who to give the two weapons to out of the five but he hoped that they would be able to share and quickly rank up in both elemental arts.

Unlike the wolves, the goblin soul would not be used as a weapon or armor soul. Demon souls weren't as faithful as beast souls but they were still workable, unlike human souls. That wasn't the reason. Instead, Chen Wentian had much more pressing need for the soul to fuel his own cultivation.

He felt the joys of cultivation breakthroughs after a long hiatus and he was eager to experience it again. After his first round of closed-door cultivation, he learned many things about the process of spiritual strengthening. He understood the core concepts and what role his soul art played and he adjusted his approach.

He no longer needed the cultivation array or support of spiritual crystals. He could refine the green goblin soul even while helping his disciples with the point gathering operation. It was just as efficient, if not more efficient than the first time since he was leveraging all of his idle immortal souls to refine the goblin soul instead of just his main soul

With this new cultivation method, it only took seven days to complete the process. A familiar feeling erupted throughout his body, mind, and spirit and be broke through once again.

3rd Stage of the Spirit Lord Realm!

There was also something else this time around. Spiritual energy from the breakthrough overflowed across his soul space just like before. But this time, a gray black star erupted and gobbled up all of the spiritual energy greedily. There was nothing left for the other souls and they cried out in complaint.

They were quickly drowned out by a powerful, joyful howl. It was followed by a second burst of spiritual energy, dark and smoky and filled with the enigmatic Dao of shadow.

Outside in the real world, Chen Mo forced himself out of Chen Wentian's body and shot into the air.

Heaven and earth aligned as a massive surge of spiritual energy filled the air. The clouds parted as heavenly energy poured down.

Chen Mo yelped with joy and Chen Wentian laughed along with him.

Chen Mo's long-awaited breakthrough was finally here!
