The three women rolled their eyes at Yi Tianxing in unison—clearly seeing through his thoughts.
Still, compared to the Bodhi Seed, a supreme treasure for enlightenment, even items like Sanskrit Relics or the concept of equality among all beings paled in comparison. The Bodhi Seed was without a doubt on par with the greatest Innate Spiritual Treasures, perhaps even surpassing them. Many great cultivators would rather give up their own treasures to obtain a seed of enlightenment.
Naturally, Yi Tianxing had won the wager—this was beyond dispute.
Now, hearing Yi Tianxing bring it up again, the three women only rolled their eyes at him, yet did not refute the matter. This was, after all, a private joy between husband and wives. Though they felt a bit shy, they understood his intentions too well. With his physical strength constantly increasing, each of them found it harder to endure. Perhaps it was better to simply surrender to his wishes.
"Let's go."
Most of the treasures within Lanruo Temple had already been looted. What remained could be left to the shadow clones—they would surely clean out the rest. These spoils would add greatly to Great Yi's strength.
As Yi Tianxing finished speaking, a spatial gate opened before him.
Without hesitation, he stepped through it first.
"Xiaoqian, you should come too," Cai Yan said with a smile as she turned to Nie Xiaoqian.
Nie Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and followed them through.
In the blink of an eye, the vast Lanruo Temple was left with only Yan Chixia.
Staring at the scene, Yan Chixia fell into silence, his heart weighed with reflection.
"Great Yi is not to be trifled with. Great Yi is not to be humiliated. So many citizens of Great Yi died in Lanruo Temple, and even King Yi personally descended to subdue the demon, burning an entire demonic lair to ashes. Clearly, I must inform the sect immediately. Great Yi cannot be treated like some average dynasty. Peaceful cooperation—even mutual alliance—is the only path for survival and prosperity in this era. Otherwise, Xuanxin Sect simply cannot match Great Yi's power."
And this was only the power of one immortal city. The elite forces of Great Yi—its formal military—had yet to appear. According to rumor, the Great Yi Corps had the strength to repel alien invaders and were undefeated in battle. When citizens spoke of the military, their overwhelming pride was clearly visible.
Given that all of Great Yi's people were cultivators themselves, one could only imagine how powerful that military must be.
"I really want to see with my own eyes just how strong the Great Yi military is," Yan Chixia murmured with anticipation.
To think that a human army could rise from nothing and carve out such a vast territory—this force had to be exceptional.
Back at the palace, after checking on the city's peace, Yi Tianxing returned to the Emperor's Heart Palace. That night, the three women shared the same bed with him—engaging in an all-out unrestrained union. Even Nie Xiaoqian was pulled into the battle, joining the spring night's embrace with the other three.
None of the three wives objected. Even if they had objections, there was nothing to be done. Yi Tianxing's ferocity left them disarmed, limp, and immersed in a blissful state of euphoria and ecstasy. Nie Xiaoqian, though shy, had not refused. Her hesitant acceptance spoke volumes—no beauty could resist a true hero. The image of Yi Tianxing slaying the Tree Demon Grandmother had long etched itself into her memory. Serving him held no true resistance in her heart.
In the end, she was brought to the bed and lost her maidenhood.
What followed was a fierce and wild night.
Afterward, Yi Tianxing went to a secluded chamber to meditate.
"As expected, the Heavenly Emperor Dragon Manual contains powerful dual cultivation techniques. With Xiaoqian's primordial yin, I've condensed another Dragon Pearl. This should allow me to open a new Life Orifice. Truly, Yin-Yang Alchemy."
Seated cross-legged, Yi Tianxing entered deep meditation, focusing on his Divine Sea.
There, in the Chaotic Dragon Pool, the Ancestral Dragon absorbed the world's essence. A Dragon Pearl floated within its mouth, glowing faintly with mysterious Dao patterns.
Had he not suppressed it earlier, the pearl would have already embedded itself within his body, opening a new Life Orifice.
Now that he had entered the chamber, he no longer held it back.
The pearl shot forth, flew through his body, and eventually reached his spine.
Boom!!
The Dragon Pearl exploded like a cosmic genesis, forcefully carving out a Life Orifice Space within his spine. Countless emerald-green Dao patterns etched themselves into the space, forming mysterious runes. Though beautiful, they radiated an eerie poisonous aura—a beauty hiding lethal danger.
Within the space, the green energy condensed into a massive egg, shaped from ever-shifting toxins: scorpions, serpents, and all manner of venomous creatures. Their presence alone instilled dread.
"So toxic... a Poison God Life Orifice!"
Yi Tianxing immediately sensed the truth. This newly formed orifice was indeed the Poison God Orifice, a deadly existence. Once formed, it began drawing in the world's ambient poison energy, while Dao rhythm surged through his flesh, etching its power into his very blood and bones.
Despite its toxicity, it didn't harm his body. Instead, the power from the Dragon Pearl rapidly fused into the orifice, enhancing its essence at a visible pace.
In a flash, the orifice's foundation was complete—it now manifested in his Divine Sea as a Life Star, then seamlessly merged into the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Diagram.
A new phantom true dragon emerged—a Poison Dragon glowing with emerald light. It absorbed the world's poison and refined it into lethal energy, feeding it back into the Life Orifice.
✅ New Life Orifice Unlocked: Poison God Orifice
✅ New Dragon Form Manifested: Poison Dragon
✅ Toxin Immunity Greatly Enhanced
Clearly, fusing a Life Orifice into his core Life Diagram provided tremendous benefits. It enhanced the orifice, elevating it to match the others in grade and power.
No doubt, poison was among the most feared forces in the world. One could die without even knowing how. Some poisons were so vicious they could render entire regions barren for thousands of years. Most cultivators avoided them at all costs.
"The Poison God Orifice has entered the Life Diagram, and the Poison Dragon has manifested. In combat, this gives me yet another deadly trump card."
Yi Tianxing was deeply satisfied. With the world descending into chaos and natural calamities looming, every new power was a lifeline for the future.
This new orifice also made his Life Diagram more complete and further strengthened his resistance to toxins—possibly rendering him immune to all poisons over time.
Thinking of the Poison God Orifice reminded him of Nie Xiaoqian. She was, without a doubt, a rare gem.
"Interesting. Since I'm already in seclusion, I might as well deal with the rest of these treasures."
Yi Tianxing didn't leave right away. Instead, he turned his attention to the rare items he had acquired earlier. These treasures couldn't just be left lying around, but nurturing them all individually was impossible—his energy was limited.
The only solution was to fuse them into the Primordial Heavenly Emperor Tower.
Once the tower absorbed them, their powers would be united and elevated as one.
A flash of light appeared in his palm—a butterfly-shaped treasure.
It looked like a butterfly, yet was composed of colored mist. It was dazzling, mystical, and dreamlike. One glance, and the mind seemed to be pulled into illusion.
✅ Treasure: Cloud Dream Illusion Butterfly
Allows entry into the Nightmare Realm
This was the treasure he had obtained from Tongba. It had always held special importance in his mind.
"If I fuse this into the tower, I wonder if it will grant the tower access to the Nightmare Realm. If it works, it could bring me immense benefits."
Without hesitation, he began the fusion process.
Boom!!
In the void of chaos, a radiant seven-colored butterfly spread its wings. Each beat of its wings stirred violent storms, transforming chaotic essence into elemental forces—earth, fire, water, wind—opening up new space.
With each flap, it summoned storms and lightning, shaping the space as if effortlessly triggering the butterfly effect.
Before long, a new thousands-mile-wide cave-heaven was created.
Shua!!
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor Tower surged upward, sprouting a new segment—its power had grown once again.
