Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1517: 1476 Retreat

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1476 Retreat

“The beast horde… seems to have retreated.”

Lu Chuan traversed more than a dozen cities, slaughtering the beast hordes until they became routed, before moving to the next location. As for the remnants of the demon beasts, they naturally fell to the Martial Alliance to handle.

Not until he had thoroughly cleared more than a dozen cities in the vicinity did Lu Chuan cast a spell. The beast horde retreated rapidly like a tide, returning to the Sky-reaching Giant Tower.

This was undeniably strange.

What exactly was Empress Wu Zong thinking, squandering her limited combat power so excessively?

If she concentrated the power of the beast horde, not only the Profound Sect, but even the Penglai Immortal Domain would find it immensely troublesome.

Yet, she deliberately chose not to. Why did she disperse the beast horde like this? What was the purpose?

Lu Chuan couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to dwell on it.

If he could understand Empress Wu Zong, would he have been dealt with so easily by her? Naturally, he could not; it was vexing.

It could only be said that, at present, Lu Chuan might be a once-in-a-millennium genius, but Empress Wu Zong was unmatched by anyone before or after her. Compared to her, Lu Chuan was still slightly lacking.

However, he had the advantage of youth.

Lu Chuan could afford to wait!

He could wait until the bride became a wife, until Lu Chuan reached Union, or even crossed tribulation!

No fear in capturing you, Empress Wu Zong!

Thinking this, Lu Chuan decided to head back home. On one hand, he intended to refine his body, to see if the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body could transform again.

On the other hand, Lu Chuan wanted to see what his grandfather left him in the letter.

Returning to the Profound Sect, Lu Chuan truly shocked everyone.

Demon blood covered him almost entirely, and the scent of blood could be smelled from afar, even reflecting a trace of stench in this hot weather.

“How many did he kill…”

Mystical Sect Disciples looked at Lu Chuan climbing the steps, retreating a hundred paces.

They couldn’t help it; this murderous aura was simply too terrifying. Just standing before him made one feel an immensely oppressive killing intent.

Grandfather Situ, however, was indifferent. He glanced at Lu Chuan lightly, then casually summoned a gust of cold wind that cleaned off all the scabbed blood from Lu Chuan, removing even the odor with it.

Seeing Lu Chuan withstand this cold wind, everyone was horrified yet excited!

They must know that this cold wind could easily tear even a strong one apart, but against Lu Chuan, it couldn’t do anything! Just what was the extent of his body’s fortitude?

“Not bad, not bad, the body has reached a bottleneck. Unfortunately, I don’t comprehend the body, so how to break through the bottleneck, you have to figure out yourself.”

“Old Master, has the Tower Spirit told you when she’ll wake up? I tried communicating with her, but she seems asleep.”

“The senior mentioned it wouldn’t be long, but as for how long, I don’t know.”

“Alright.”

Lu Chuan felt somewhat disappointed, bid farewell to Grandfather Situ, and returned to the rear mountain with the ladies.

It must be said, the ladies gained quite a bit from this beast tide.

Mu Nanqing refined her control over her internal forces, now able to exert Nascent Soul Ninth Layer combat prowess, while Chu Mengyao finally mastered the Great Technique taught by Lu Chuan, enhancing her combat power significantly and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.

Xiu Niang also successfully took advantage of this opportunity to challenge Spirit Dividing and achieved a breakthrough!

Indeed, everyone benefited; now even without Lu Chuan, the ladies were absolutely capable of protecting themselves.

“Just not sure if the next beast tide will be as perilous as this one.”

Shen Yourong sighed softly, feeling somewhat regretful.

After all, she was still at the Golden Core Realm, unable to offer much help against the oncoming beast tide, only picking off isolated stragglers. This, Tang Yurou understood well.

They must know that prior to leaving for the new year, Lu Chuan had left countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, elixirs for the ladies to cultivate. Everyone made some progress, except Tang Yurou, who, despite diligently cultivating, saw no rise in her realm, leading her to even doubt if she was truly foolish.

Everyone generally reached Golden Core, and some quickly achieved Nascent Soul, yet Tang Yurou, still lingering in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Not just Tang Yurou; even Lu Chuan found it peculiar.

The resources he left, if given to others, would likely help them break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so why was Tang Yurou the exception?

“Yurou, have you used all the resources I left you?”

“I’ve refined most of them…”

Tang Yurou bit her lip, lamenting, “But my cultivation just won’t rise! I even doubt if Brother Lu Chuan gave me expired Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, elixirs, since consuming them seems the same as not!

“That’s strange… so many resources, even if Lu Chuan ate them, he’d feel anxious about the growth, so why cannot Tang Yurou’s little stomach be filled?”

Lu Chuan felt puzzled, leaning forward to feel Tang Yurou’s pulse, which was calm and steady, without any disorder, perfectly healthy!

“Odd, have you asked Grandfather Situ?”

“I did. Ms. Qinghuan also relayed my situation to Grandpa Situ, but he doesn’t know the reason either.”

“Perhaps this little girl inadvertently obtained a trace of Ancient Immortal Beast bloodline.”

That familiar voice sounded by his ear, Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up, eagerly questioning, “Tower Spirit, you’re awake?”

“Hmm… seems you haven’t refined the Blood Pill I gave you?”

“Not yet, the Blood Pill is still with me, intending to use it during the Union challenge.”

“You truly don’t recall your painful experience during the Spirit Dividing challenge, do you?”

Listening to the Tower Spirit’s familiar sarcasm, Lu Chuan strangely felt at ease.

“However, you said Yurou possesses Ancient Immortal Beast bloodline, what’s that about?”

“The Immortal Beast bloodline is exceedingly rare, each one a tremendous opportunity. I’m uncertain, but based on your description, she seems to have acquired a trace of Taotie bloodline, devouring the heavens and earth, a beast of great calamity and ruin. It is precisely because she can consume so many elixirs and cultivation resources, yet her cultivation remains stagnant.

Of course, this is solely my speculation, but if true, hehe, I can hardly imagine how terrifying this little girl’s future achievements might be.”

“Just a trace of bloodline, is it really that remarkable?”

“Remarkable? You don’t even possess the True Dragon Bloodline, merely touched the True Dragon Destiny, and have already achieved such feats. Yet, she harbors authentic bloodline within her, with innate divine abilities hidden in the bloodline, awaiting maturity and self-realization.

Know this, the Taotie clan, even in ancient times, was an incredibly formidable existence, capable of devouring dragons and phoenixes alike!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan gasped.

“So, does this mean Yurou can achieve the Supreme Path in the future?”

“If on this Path of Immortality, no others impede… she might truly carve out her own Supreme Path through the Way of Devouring!”
