The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Upon hearing Qiu Yaoyao’s words, Su Jingzhen froze for a moment, but excitement flickered in his heart.

After all, Qiu Yaoyao’s strength was undeniable, and her reputation in the Luo River region was widespread.

No matter where they went, many people would still pay her a certain amount of respect.

With Qiu Yaoyao by his side, their journey would naturally go much smoother.

“Thank you, Sister Yaoyao,” Su Jingzhen said sincerely.

Upon hearing his words, Qiu Yaoyao’s lips curved into a smile.

“You know, helping you is also helping myself,” she replied with a playful twinkle in her eyes.

But just as she finished speaking, her expression changed slightly and she focused intently on Su Jingzhen.

“I feel like… the aura around you seems stronger than before. Have you made a breakthrough?”

“I was lucky enough to open another secret repository and break through a few minor realms,” he admitted.

Until now, only Bai Suzhen had noticed his recent breakthroughs.

Given Qiu Yaoyao’s high cultivation level, especially since she was standing so close to him, it was no surprise that she could sense the fluctuations in his energy.

Her curiosity piqued, Qiu Yaoyao took a step closer and grabbed Su Jingzhen’s right hand.

A wisp of energy flowed into him as she probed, and Su Jingzhen offered no resistance.

He knew that some things couldn’t be hidden forever, and the more surprised Qiu Yaoyao was, the more “points” he seemed to gain through his mysterious system.

After all, he had already tasted the exhilarating rush of leveling up. And with every breakthrough he made, it wasn’t just him who advanced – his contracted beasts also improved along with him.

He hadn’t even dared to tell Qiu Yaoyao that Hei Shuang had now reached level 7, a cultivation level comparable to the Unity Realm.

“Ten secret repositories… and the True Embryo Realm, Stage Five? How did you even manage that?”

The moment Qiu Yaoyao finished her examination, her expression changed from shock to disbelief – even a hint of fear flickered in her eyes.

Su Jingzhen scratched his head innocently, his expression one of utter helplessness.

“With so many recent battles and the dense spiritual energy in the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory, it would be strange if I didn’t make some breakthroughs. There’s no need to be so surprised, Sister Yaoyao.”

Su Jingzhen stuck to the same modest explanation, but his words did little to alleviate Qiu Yaoyao’s shock.

After all, when he first arrived at the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory, his cultivation had only reached the peak of the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.

And now, in less than ten days, he was on the verge of breaking through to an entirely new realm.

Who would believe that?

Even more absurdly, who would believe that a cultivator could reach this level in such a short period of time?

Qiu Yaoyao opened her mouth, her flawless face twisting with a rare mixture of emotions.

She was at a loss for words in front of this monster-like talent.

“You… really are a freak… you are Shen Yifeng’s disciple, through and through…”

Her words, full of disbelief and exasperated admiration, mirrored those of Bai Suzhen.

But just as she finished speaking, a string of glowing golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen:

[Emotional Connection +14]

[Emotional Connection +14]

[Emotional Connection +14]

[Emotional Connection +14]

[Emotional Connection +14]

[Remaining Points: 2952]

Qiu Yaoyao had just delivered a five hit combo, and it was the first time Su Jingzhen had ever seen such an emotional surge all at once.

A spark of excitement flickered in his heart.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This single moment had given him 70 points, the equivalent of what he’d normally accumulate in an entire day.

With his total points approaching 3000 again, Su Jingzhen was ecstatic. He only needed 1600 points to activate the next acupoint, the Yutang Acupoint.

In just a few more days, if he wanted to, he would be able to enter the Body Sovereign Realm directly, with absolute success.

For a moment, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel that with his “cheat-like” abilities, it was ridiculously easy to cultivate and break through.

As he watched his peers painstakingly grind through every step of their cultivation path, he felt a bit guilty.

Life with a cheat really wasn’t fair.

Looking at Qiu Yaoyao who was still visibly shocked, Su Jingzhen shyly scratched the back of his head.

But Qiu Yaoyao, as expected from the top disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race, quickly controlled her emotions.

“I’m getting more and more curious about you, Su Jingzhen,” she said, her eyes filled with intrigue. “I wonder what level you’ll reach in ten years.”

Then, with a playful twinkle in her eyes, she added, “And I can’t wait to see Xuan Jin’s face when he comes back and sees what you’ve become.”

Her voice was filled with eager anticipation, as if she were imagining a future confrontation that promised to be nothing short of extraordinary.

Su Jingzhen’s lips curved into another subtle smile. “Sister Yaoyao, rest assured, no matter how powerful this Xuan Jin may be.

No matter how far I rise in the future, you will always be the one who guided me through the Luo River region and the Heavenly Dragon Race.

I, Su Jingzhen, will always be by your side.”

As he spoke, his tone was filled with sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yaoyao was taken aback for a moment.

Her exquisite face naturally broke into a gentle smile.

The warmth in her gaze towards Su Jingzhen deepened, softening her demeanor.

This unexpected change in her expression caught Su Jingzhen off guard, leaving him slightly flustered and unsure of how to react.

But in the next moment, his hesitation melted into pure joy.

At that moment, a new line of glowing golden text appeared in front of his eyes – not an attribute point, but something even more surprising:

[Emotional Connection with Qiu Yaoyao reached: Mutual Appreciation]

[Reward Points: 40]

[Level Multiplier: 3x]

[Cultivation Multiplier: 7x]

[Remaining Available Points: 2,992]

Mutual appreciation!

He couldn’t believe that he had reached the third level of Mutual Appreciation so quickly!

Seeing the multiplied rewards, Su Jingzhen almost burst with excitement.

With Qiu Yaoyao’s current level, he could gain twenty-one points every time he triggered an emotional resonance.

As expected, having a strong companion for emotional resonance was incredibly beneficial!

Even at the third level, she had already become his most important source of points.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen felt that the advancement of their emotional connection was as valuable as the news about the Divine Kingdom that Qiu Yaoyao had shared.

“The night is getting late. Get some rest for now. I’ll come to find you early tomorrow morning.”

“After that, we’ll head straight to the Tortoise Sect and a few other places where I think you’ll find suitable spirit beasts.”

After saying this, Qiu Yaoyao didn’t linger any longer. She turned around and left gracefully.

Unknown to her, Su Jingzhen was deep in thought about emotional resonance points and multipliers.

She had long known that Su Jingzhen’s potential was limitless, but now that she saw the extent of his abilities unfolding before her eyes, she found it to be beyond her imagination.

Her respect for Su Jingzhen grew, and she had already begun to make secret preparations on his behalf.

…

The night passed without incident.

Su Jingzhen did nothing that night – he just lay down and slept soundly.

It was a deep and peaceful sleep, born of the comfort that strength brings.

[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 18, Luo Yuebai: 18, Tantai Xuening: 12, Qiu Yaoyao: 21]

[Remaining Available Points: 3,080]

Looking at the daily fixed points, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel his spirits rise once again.

His total daily fixed points had now reached 88.

If he could deepen his connection with Qiu Yaoyao or any other person just a bit more…

The easiest way would be to conquer Xuening completely. If that happened, his daily fixed points would probably break through the 100-point threshold.

This was the true path to invincibility!

The thought made Su Jingzhen look at Xuening’s courtyard.

“That girl… forget it, there’s no need to rush things,” he muttered to himself.

Their relationship had already reached this stage – further intimacy was only a matter of time. There was no need to rush things.

Besides, he was progressing so fast that any faster and people might start thinking about dissecting him for research.

After all, he still had to stay in the Luo River region for quite some time. If possible, he wanted to keep a low profile.

After freshening up, Su Jingzhen stepped out of his room.

As usual, Qiu Yaoyao was waiting for him at the gate of his courtyard.

Today, she was wearing a sleek black training outfit with her fiery red hair neatly tied up.

She looked sharp and confident, yet her beauty still shone through effortlessly.

“Are you ready?” Qiu Yaoyao asked casually.

“It seems that Xuening is still in seclusion, so she won’t be coming with us this time.

I’ve already asked some Unity Realm cultivators at Heavenly Green Lake to watch over her.

Of course, given her current status, there’s no real danger for her here.”

Xuening wasn’t a martial arts cultivator; as long as she stayed in the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory and concentrated on her alchemy training, she would maximize her growth.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen took another look at Xuening’s courtyard before giving a silent nod.

“If that’s the case, then let’s go.

Our first stop is the Tortoise Sect, right?”

He asked curiously.

In truth, there wasn’t much he needed to pack. With Bai Suzhen in his possession, he could freely roam the Luo River region without any worries.

“The Black Tortoises of the Tortoise Sect are excellent contract partners.

Let’s go there first and settle the score between you and them while we’re at it.

Your reputation has been the talk of the Luo River region lately.

I can imagine that the Tortoise Sect must be a bit nervous right now.”

As she spoke, Qiu Yaoyao couldn’t help but chuckle.

The Tortoise Sect wasn’t exactly a nobody in the Luo River region – they belonged to the second tier of powers.

However, they still couldn’t hold a candle to the Heavenly Dragon Race.

After a brief exchange, the two of them didn’t waste any time and directly activated the Heavenly Dragon Race’s teleportation array to head towards the Tortoise Sect’s location.

On the vast banks of the Luo River, there were numerous lakes of varying sizes.

These lakes mirrored the mysterious islands scattered throughout the river itself.

The Tortoise Sect was located in one of these lakes, called Xuanyuan Lake.

Unusual among sects, the Tortoise Sect had its headquarters completely underwater.

Now, Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao were standing on the shore of Xuanyuan Lake.

A thin mist mysteriously swirled over the surface of the lake, giving it an ethereal atmosphere.

However, hidden within the mist, faint traces of an unusual energy fluctuation flickered intermittently.

“Heh, it looks like the Tortoise Sect knows we’re coming,” Qiu Yaoyao said with a smile.

“They’ve kept their sect’s protective formation active all this time.”

Looking at the mist drifting across the lake, Su Jingzhen chuckled. “Looks like catching a Black Tortoise today won’t be easy.”

Qiu Yaoyao laughed again. “Not necessarily. Now that I’m here, leaving empty-handed is not an option.”

With that, she formed a series of hand seals, and a huge, flaming dragon-shaped phantom seal materialized out of thin air.

Without hesitation, she hurled it directly at the center of Xuanyuan Lake.

Boom!

The moment the seal landed, waves surged across the lake, roaring violently.

The fiery heat from the seal was so intense that it evaporated a considerable amount of water from the surface.

“Tortoise Sect! Are you really going to hide like cowards today?”

Her voice, imbued with overwhelming spiritual power, echoed across the entire lake.

It cut through the fog and even penetrated the depths below. There was no doubt that the Tortoise Sect could hear her loud and clear.
