“Come in!”
Murong Xue, who had been anxiously waiting outside, immediately pushed the door open and entered. Ignoring Chen Xuanting, whose vitality had been severely depleted, she went straight to Qi Haoran’s side. Only after confirming that his breathing was steady did she finally relax.
“It is time for you to fulfill your promise.”
“I will practice dual cultivation with you after Senior Brother wakes up.”
“No. I exhausted my vitality saving him. You must practice dual cultivation with me. If you dare break your oath, Heaven’s judgment will strike you dead. I will kill him to vent my anger.”
“How dare you!”
Murong Xue glared furiously at Chen Xuanting.
Chen Xuanting said coldly, “Didn’t he call me a fiend? What is there that I wouldn’t dare do?”
Murong Xue glanced at the unconscious Qi Haoran. Tears of humiliation and unwillingness slipped from the corners of her eyes. She knew that once she lost her chastity, she would no longer be worthy of her senior brother.
With a frigid expression, she walked out.
Chen Xuanting smiled wickedly. Qi Haoran, your woman will soon belong to me.
The two of them rented another superior room, right beside Qi Haoran’s.
Chen Xuanting took Murong Xue.
A surge of Creation force flowed into his body.
A Kan Cauldron constitution!
Chen Xuanting was overjoyed.
He had never expected Murong Xue to possess one of the Nine Cauldron constitutions—the Kan Cauldron constitution.
The Nine Cauldron constitution was the ultimate foundation for dual cultivation.
Every woman who possessed one of the Nine Cauldron constitutions contained a portion of Creation force within her. As long as all nine constitutions were gathered, one could obtain supreme Creation force and transform a postnatal physique into an innate divine-demonic body.
After obtaining the Creation force, Chen Xuanting’s depleted essence, energy, and spirit rapidly recovered. Not only that, but the golden core within him was tempered by the Creation force, and his cultivation broke through in one leap to the late Golden Core Stage.
Having tasted its benefits, Chen Xuanting relentlessly ravaged Murong Xue, extracting the Creation force from her.
After two days of dual cultivation, Chen Xuanting’s cultivation reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage.
This was the heaven-defying power of the Nine Cauldron constitution.
In the room next door, Qi Haoran awoke, but Murong Xue was nowhere to be seen. He rose and walked out, only to discover that he was in an inn.
Chen Xuanting and Murong Xue, still engaged in dual cultivation, both sensed Qi Haoran’s presence. Murong Xue hurriedly shoved Chen Xuanting away. With a wicked smile, Chen Xuanting put on his clothes and walked outside.
The moment he stepped out, he collided head-on with Qi Haoran.
The two stared at each other.
“Chen Xuanting, why are you here?”
“You finally woke up. If I hadn’t saved you, you would have been dead by now.”
“You would save me out of kindness?”

Qi Haoran sneered with contempt. He did not believe for a moment that Chen Xuanting had saved him.
Chen Xuanting said coldly, “Of course I didn’t save you out of kindness. It was your junior sister, Murong Xue, who begged me desperately before I agreed to save you.”
“Senior Brother.”
Murong Xue emerged from the room, her face pale. Seeing that Qi Haoran was safe and sound, she felt that everything she had sacrificed had been worthwhile.
But when Qi Haoran saw Murong Xue come out of Chen Xuanting’s room, it was as though he had been struck by lightning.
“You two…”
“Chen Xuanting, did you force her? I’ll kill you!”
In a fit of rage, Qi Haoran struck at Chen Xuanting with his palm. Chen Xuanting vanished in an instant, and Qi Haoran gave chase.
“Senior Brother!”
Murong Xue hurried after them. Her senior brother had not yet recovered from his injuries and was no match for Chen Xuanting.
Qi Haoran caught up with Chen Xuanting, and the two engaged in a fierce battle through the void, sword qi crisscrossing the sky.
“Qi Haoran, do you think I am still the Chen Xuanting who once lay at your mercy?”
Chen Xuanting fused the Azure Lotus Sword Art, the Heaven-Burning Sword Art, and three other sword arts. With one slash, he merged their five sword intents into a Five-Element Sword Intent that circulated without end.
“Defend!”
With a single word, Qi Haoran caused the laws to obey his command.
A wave of righteous qi blocked the Five-Element Sword Intent.
After several breaths, the defense was shattered by the Five-Element Sword Intent. Qi Haoran forcibly circulated his true essence to resist, but his injuries flared up again. Unable to withstand the attack, he was wounded by the Five-Element Sword Intent and vomited blood from his grievous injuries.
“Stop!”
Murong Xue arrived and stepped in front of Qi Haoran to shield him. She glared furiously at Chen Xuanting. “Senior Brother is still injured, yet you are taking advantage of him!”
Chen Xuanting gave a cold laugh. “You are right. I do enjoy taking advantage of people when they are vulnerable. Wasn’t that how I obtained you?”
“Hahahaha!”
Chen Xuanting threw his head back and laughed.
“You…”
Murong Xue wished she could kill the shameless wretch.
Pfft!
Overcome with rage, Qi Haoran vomited blood again.
“Senior Brother.”
“Junior Sister, how could you sacrifice yourself to that despicable man just to save me?”
Qi Haoran’s heart was filled with agony and self-reproach.
“Murong Xue, you are my woman, yet you flirt with another man right in front of me. You clearly do not regard me at all. Come with me.”
“I agreed to become your woman, but I never agreed to obey your every command. Get out!”

“You just practiced dual cultivation with me, and now you refuse to honor your word? Once you are my woman, you will be my woman for life. You will never escape me.”
Chen Xuanting took one step forward and vanished instantly.
His voice continued to echo beside her ears. Murong Xue covered them and let out a cry of anguish.
“Ah!”
She then abandoned Qi Haoran and left.
“Xue’er!”
Ignoring his injuries, Qi Haoran chased after her.
Chen Xuanting returned to the Supreme Mystery Sect.
An inner disciple happened to pass by, and Chen Xuanting called out to him. “You there.”
The disciple, Bai Yun, looked over. The moment he saw Chen Xuanting, he recognized him and hurried forward.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Chen. May I ask what orders you have?”
He had deliberately given his name, hoping to leave an impression on Senior Brother Chen. Chen Xuanting possessed a Sacred Constitution, and he was certain to become the sect master in the future. It was important to make a good impression on him.
“Take me to the place where the sect exchanges treasures.”
Bai Yun was stunned. Senior Brother Chen actually did not know where the Myriad Treasures Hall was. But then he remembered that Chen Xuanting had only joined the sect half a year ago. It was hardly surprising that he did not know its location. Bai Yun had never expected such good fortune to fall into his lap.
“Senior Brother Chen, I will take you to the Myriad Treasures Hall at once.”
Bai Yun led Chen Xuanting toward the Myriad Treasures Hall.
The two soon arrived.
The Myriad Treasures Hall was a three-story tower.
Many disciples streamed in and out.
“Look, it is Senior Brother Chen!”
The moment Chen Xuanting arrived, he became the center of everyone’s attention.
Many disciples had witnessed his tribulation in the past. The sight of him severing the heavens with a single sword had shocked them all, and he had become an object of admiration for countless disciples—especially the female disciples.
Several of the female disciples were already swooning over him.
“Isn’t that Bai Yun? Why is he beside Senior Brother Chen?”
“What kind of incredible luck did that fellow have to cling to Senior Brother Chen’s coattails?”
Some of the inner disciples looked at Bai Yun with envy.
Bai Yun immediately became carried away, striding along as though a breeze followed every step.
Chen Xuanting entered the Myriad Treasures Hall.
Bai Yun explained, “Senior Brother Chen, what kind of treasure do you wish to exchange for? The first floor contains weapons, the second floor pills and various rare treasures, and the third floor cultivation arts and divine abilities.”
Chen Xuanting ignored him and walked straight toward the tower.
