Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 872 Ancestor Duanmu
At this moment, Chen Wang was cultivating in the dead of winter.

Although Dao Ning's world is rich in spiritual energy, his Daoist companions are all in the dead of winter, and there is currently no war.

With the complete destruction of the Great Flame Heaven, Chen Wang only needed to guard against opponents who crossed over from other realms, such as the True King Lingyan, as well as those freaks hiding in the darkness of the world. Therefore, he chose to stay in the Frosty Winter.

Gu Xinyue, Yan Zhi, Feng Lin, and others awoke one after another from their seclusion.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Wang had already spent three years in the dead of winter.

Although he did his best to improve people's lives, he did not change the original customs and traditions of the harsh winter.

In his view, what's the point of making every world the same?
The world of the heavens must be rich and colorful to be interesting.

Chen Wang, the mastermind behind the creation of gods in the heavens, now wields an ever-growing power of faith.

But he could never forget that he started his business in the dead of winter.

Therefore, although Winter is rough and uncouth, he still likes to stay here when he has nothing to do.

Gu Xinyue was sitting opposite Chen Wang wearing only a strapless top, listening to Chen Wang explain the Taoist arts to her with a serious expression.

Gu Xinyue had a very hot figure, just like her temper. Her strapless dress couldn't hide her amazing figure at all, and she would attract Chen Wang's attention from time to time.

If it were anyone else, Chen Wang might not have been moved, but Gu Xinyue was his Daoist partner whom he met in the Red Cloud Sect market, so Chen Wang naturally treated her differently.

Gu Xinyue listened very attentively, but she noticed Chen Wang's gaze drifting downwards from time to time. Her face flushed, and she pulled her strapless top down even further.

Her slightly provocative gesture stirred something within Chen Wang, and his voice became hoarse.

"You little devil, do you still want to listen to my sermon?"

At this moment, Gu Xinyue was sitting cross-legged, but not in a meditative posture; she just looked rather relaxed.

Her two fair and tender thighs exuded an amazing elasticity.

At this moment, she leaned close to Chen Wang with her hands on the bed and said with a smile, "My husband has been peeking at me several times just now. I'm just letting my husband see me more clearly. Am I doing something wrong?"

Her coquettish manner made people furious.

Chen Wang pulled her over and placed her on his lap, then raised his large hand.

As the large hand descended, a captivating ripple spread across Gu Xinyue's hips, a sight that was both mesmerizing and enchanting.

This situation had occurred more than a dozen times during Chen Wang's sermons to her.

One of them was sincerely speaking, and the other was genuinely learning, but their conversation eventually escalated to this point.

Chen Wang felt somewhat helpless about this. The women around him were simply too bold. Moreover, because of this seclusion, they had been separated from him for several years and missed him dearly. Therefore, they would tease him whenever they had the chance, which slowed down the process of his sermon.

In the end, Chen Wang suppressed his thoughts and focused on explaining the Taoist arts to Gu Xinyue.

Seeing Chen Wang so serious, Gu Xinyue originally wanted to tease him, but remembering the current situation and the urgent need to improve her strength, she suppressed her thoughts and sat up straight.

After Chen Wang finally finished teaching Gu Xinyue the Daoist arts and explaining her cultivation problems, Gu Xinyue simply stretched and yawned, and her strapless bra suddenly slipped down involuntarily.

Her skin was so smooth, like fine jade.

Chen Wang felt a surge of anger.
"You little devil, think carefully about the Taoist techniques I taught you before."

Chen Wang then got up and left.

A smug look appeared on Gu Xinyue's face. Chen Wang liked her body, which made Gu Xinyue secretly happy.

Then her expression became serious, and she began to study the martial arts techniques taught by Chen Wang.

Chen Wang hoped that the people around him also had the ability to protect themselves.

Although his current level is far behind that of the others, and his future opponents are also very strong, Chen Wang is still slowly guiding them and leading them forward.

Chen Wang helped them avoid many detours in their cultivation, and before they knew it, everyone's cultivation level had improved.

Chen Wang had been trying hard to decipher the trapped character script in his hand, but he hadn't made much progress.

One late night, Chen Wang lay on a large bed.

The large bed was soft and spacious, and several women were already fast asleep on it.

Chen Wang, however, was in a daze as if he were dreaming. He dreamed that a naked woman was standing in front of him.

This woman seemed to be a masterpiece of nature; every part of her was breathtakingly beautiful.

Especially her temperament, as if she were a celestial maiden lost to the mortal world, aloof and beautiful.

Chen Wang was also captivated, but he suppressed his thoughts and said, "You have been dwelling in my sea of ​​consciousness, so it's time to tell me your origins."

Chen Wang remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was somewhat worried.

The woman had disappeared earlier, presumably within his sea of ​​consciousness, but he didn't know what her intentions were.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "You unfilial disciple, I taught you the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and saved your life, yet you are so ungrateful."

These words struck Chen Wang like a bolt from the blue.

Chen Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Traitorous disciple? You taught me the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?"

He had some suspicions in his heart, but hearing it suddenly was still hard for him to accept.

The woman stood naked before him, her aura like that of a fairy, untouched by worldly affairs. Yet, the visual impact she had on Chen Wang was overwhelming, as if she were a witch from the side of a demon king, tempting him to fall into depravity.

Seeing Chen Wang's astonished expression, the woman said softly, "When the Kunlun Ancestor Wumu tried to kill you, it was I who repelled him. Otherwise, you would not be alive today."

Chen Wang's heart stirred.
"Kunlun Ebony Ancestor, could this be the name of that old man in green?"

Chen Wang said, "I didn't ask you to save me, and you're not my master."

The beautiful woman said, "Many people want to become my disciples, but I don't care. Now that I've finally decided to take on a disciple, you're so resistant."

Chen Wang said, "Although you are very beautiful and have a great figure, could you please put on some clothes when you said you would take me as your disciple?"

It wasn't that Chen Wang was being hypocritical; it was just that this woman made it difficult for him to remain calm, and he felt that something was off about the whole scene. The beautiful woman was startled at first, then looked down and her face paled instantly. She screamed, leaving Chen Wang completely bewildered.

Did a high and mighty fairy, who was detached from worldly affairs, not know that she was not wearing clothes?
He was also somewhat incredulous at this moment, and suddenly felt that the idea was absurd.

Previously, this woman seemed very distant, but her exclamation and the action of crouching down with her hands covering her chest made her seem somewhat approachable.

This is how a woman should behave, not the way she stood naked in front of Chen Wang without a trace of emotion.

Soon, a set of clothes appeared on her, exquisitely made with many accessories, making her look even more ethereal and aloof.

A slender ribbon cinched her waist, so delicate it could be encircled by a single hand, making her upper body appear more upright and her legs even longer.

The blush on her face had disappeared, but she still seemed to be putting on a brave face.

Chen Wang, who had initially held her in great awe, couldn't help but feel helpless after this incident. He deliberately said inappropriately, "What, don't you know you're not wearing any clothes?"

The woman's carefully maintained composure as a master was immediately shattered. Her face flushed, and she glared at Chen Wang, saying irritably, "You are really not a gentleman. If this is all you think about, I regret taking you as my disciple."

Chen Wang disagreed, saying, "If you don't want to accept me, then don't. I never intended to be your disciple anyway."

Upon hearing this, the woman raised an eyebrow and suddenly smiled, a smile that made her appear even more ethereal.

The woman said, "You have learned my skills and are now my disciple. You can't deny it now. I'm determined to be your master."

Chen Wang didn't know why this woman was so determined to be his master.

Suddenly, his heart sank as he recalled what the fairy of Gusha had said.

Those powerful beings constantly consume supplements to strengthen themselves.

Chen Wang frowned and asked, "I still don't know your name."

Upon hearing Chen Wang's question, the woman's expression turned serious again, reverting to her aloof and ethereal demeanor.

"Since you are my disciple, you may address me as Ancestor Duanmu."

"Master Duanmu?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then what sect are we?"

The woman smiled slightly.
"You're planning to become my apprentice?"

Chen Wang's lips twitched.
Is she obsessed with something?

He then said, "I know neither your abilities nor your sect, so how could I be willing to become your disciple?"

The woman said calmly, "What a cold and heartless world. I come from the Jade Purity Daoist Sect. What I tell you today, you only need to keep in your heart and never reveal it."

Chen Wang said, "Why can't I reveal it? Is it something shameful?"

Anger flashed in the woman's eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Why do you have so many questions? Since you are my disciple, you should show me respect and call me Master. Of course, you can also call me Ancestor."

The woman seemed to have some obsession with taking on disciples. Chen Wang smiled and said, "Ancestor Duanmu, my Eight-Nine Arcane Arts have now reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, but I don't have any guidance on the next step. I wonder if you could teach me?"

He was just a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, without the guidance of cultivation techniques for the subsequent Ascension stage, and thus unable to take that step.

The patriarch Duanmu nodded slightly: "Of course I can teach you."

Chen Wang stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

Master Duanmu looked at him. At first, her eyes were very cold, but later, as the two stared at each other, her eyes became somewhat confused. Then she composed herself and said with a stern face, "To become my disciple, one must first perform the apprenticeship ceremony. Although it can be simplified now, it is still necessary."

She found the young man in front of her somewhat detestable. She wanted to take him as her disciple, but he kept making excuses. However, she didn't reject such a stubborn person; she just wanted to find a way to subdue him.

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Wang had already bowed deeply and said, "Master, your disciple Chen Wang pays respects to you."

The woman's eyes widened immediately, but when Chen Wang looked up, she quickly regained her calm and ethereal demeanor, nodding lightly and saying, "You certainly change your expression quickly."

She suddenly frowned; this guy, who changed his expression so quickly, seemed a little shameless to her.

She somewhat regretted perhaps taking on such a disciple, but Chen Wang offered a light, flattering remark: "Grandmaster, your abilities are truly extraordinary. I saw it in the Thunder Pool earlier. Later, you defeated that old man in green robes as if you were an immortal, which truly fills me with admiration. I hope you will not take my previous rudeness to heart."

The woman smiled slightly, and after listening to Chen Wang's words, she suddenly found him more pleasing to the eye. She thought to herself, "I shouldn't have been so harsh on him. His judgment is ultimately quite good."

Chen Wang thus became a disciple of Master Duanmu.

The patriarch, Duanmu, dressed in a long, flowing gown, exuded an ethereal aura. Seeing Chen Wang become her disciple, she was overjoyed, straightening her posture slightly. She had a good figure; though not as imposing as Gu Xinyue, her chest was still quite impressive.

She said softly, "I have a very important task for you to do. After you have completed it, I will teach you the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts for the Ascension Stage."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and looked at the Ancestor Duanmu without showing any emotion. He had originally thought she was a silly girl who could gain benefits as long as she became an apprentice, but he did not expect that she would have conditions.

Chen Wang said, "Please just tell me what you need, Master."

The woman said, "I want you to go to the North Sea Realm to collect the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul. I will tell you the location of that place. As long as you can collect the Ice Soul in the North Sea, I will teach you the cultivation technique, and you will become a formal disciple of my sect."

Chen Wang's lips twitched. This patriarch, who kept saying he wanted to take him as a disciple, didn't seem as kind as he appeared. Did he need to pay any conditions?

Chen Wang sighed.

Master Duanmu asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Wang said, "I just became a disciple because I admired the patriarch's demeanor. The patriarch insists that I retrieve the Ice Soul before passing on his skills to me, which feels like a transaction. Since the patriarch doesn't trust me, please find another disciple."

He didn't know what the North Sea Realm was, but this woman had such great magical power, yet she asked him to collect the Ice Soul. Chen Wang was also worried. If even she couldn't handle it, how could he go there so easily?

The woman was taken aback at first, then quickly said, "When accepting apprentices, there are always some tests to be set up. It's not that easy."

Chen Wang looked up, and their eyes met. He noticed that the woman's eyes were full of confusion, and her eyes were very pure.

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat. Could she really be a silly girl pretending to be serious?

He was genuinely curious about who this Master Duanmu was.

Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, Chen Wang couldn't tell whether she was a wise fairy or an innocent woman.
