A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Chen Yang remained alone in the luxuriously and elegantly decorated new house.

The carved mahogany furniture gleamed with a warm luster, and several elegant orchids sat on the windowsill. A faint fragrance of incense filled the air, mingling with the lingering sweet scent of Jiang Yundou, making it exceptionally pleasant.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yundou, who was fast asleep on the bed. Suddenly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Tsk tsk, life is truly unpredictable," Chen Yang muttered to himself. "I only meant to save someone, but unexpectedly, I ended up with another wife..."

Chen Yang walked slowly toward Jiang Yundou, his gaze falling on her sleeping face.

At this moment, her brows were relaxed, her long eyelashes hung quietly on her eyelids like two small fans, and her skin was snow-white and delicate with a healthy blush. She showed no trace of the madness and bloodlust she had experienced when she was corrupted by the Corpse Fairy Worm.

She was like a stunningly beautiful sleeping beauty under a spell, so sweet and charming that one couldn't help but feel tenderness towards her.

Thinking of the thrilling and wonderful experience of treating Jiang Yundou, Chen Yang's throat bobbed slightly, and he subconsciously swallowed.

He slowly squatted down, reached out, and carefully touched Jiang Yundou's soft hair. The delicate and smooth touch from his fingertips stirred his heart.

Just then—

A soft, almost inconspicuous footstep sounded outside the door.

Chen Yang's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned to look.

A beautiful woman stood gracefully at the doorway, a gentle smile on her face, watching with great interest as she looked at herself and Jiang Yundou on the bed.

The woman appeared to be in her early thirties, with a kind and gentle smile that was like a breath of fresh air. Her eyes were incredibly bright, as if they held the stars and the sea within them. She wore a loose-fitting, moon-white long dress, the hem of which was embroidered with delicate lotus scroll patterns. Her figure was slightly plump, but just right, showcasing the gentleness and charm of a mature woman without appearing bulky at all.

Chen Yang stared at the stunningly beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared, his mind filled with questions. He wondered to himself, "Who is this? Judging from her clothes and appearance, she doesn't seem to be an ordinary servant. Could she be an elder of the Jiang family?"

At this moment, the woman walked in with graceful steps, her embroidered shoes making no sound on the carpet.

She chuckled softly, then flicked her wrist, tossing Chen Yang a storage ring that emitted a faint spiritual light. She then said, "What, my dear son-in-law, don't you recognize me?"

Chen Yang subconsciously caught the storage ring, and was even more surprised when he heard the words "son-in-law".

Seeing this, the woman smiled and explained, "I am Yun Dou's mother, Li Fengying. Jiang Fan has already told me everything about how you treated Yun Dou."

She looked around the room, her tone tinged with relief: "From now on, we're family. This yard and house in the back will be your marital home."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Fengying: "So it's my mother-in-law. Your son-in-law, Chen Yang, greets you!"

Li Fengying smiled and nodded, looking Chen Yang up and down with satisfaction in her eyes.

It is said that a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him, and Li Fengying felt just that way at this moment.

She had been so worried about her daughter Jiang Yundou being harassed by the Corpse Fairy Worm that she couldn't eat or sleep, and her heart was breaking. Now that Chen Yang had not only saved her daughter's life, but was also willing to marry her, a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Li Fengying stepped forward and gently took Chen Yang's hand. Her palm was warm and soft, and she said in a kind tone, "Chen Yang, this is your home from now on. If you need anything, just tell me. Don't be shy."

"Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I'm always very outgoing and I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you." Chen Yang nodded quickly, a simple and honest smile on his face.

Li Fengying chuckled softly at his words, then walked to the bedside, her gaze falling on her sleeping daughter. A gentle smile instantly bloomed on her face, her eyes filled with love and doting affection.

Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly said, "Mother-in-law, it's just in time that you've arrived. Please stay with Yun Dou for a while. I'll go to the next room to cultivate and consolidate the cultivation I just used up."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll take care of things here." Li Fengying nodded and replied softly, afraid of disturbing her daughter's sweet dreams.

Chen Yang said no more and turned to walk towards the next room.

After entering the room, he closed the door behind him and eagerly took out the storage ring that Li Fengying had just thrown to him.

As Chen Yang probed into the ring with his divine sense, his eyes instantly lit up!

Inside the ring, countless spirit stones were piled up into a small mountain, radiating pure spiritual energy, totaling a staggering twelve million spirit stones!

"Good heavens!" Chen Yang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "My father-in-law said he could only scrape together ten million, but now he has two million more. It seems the Jiang family really doesn't consider me an outsider!"

He knew in his heart that these twelve million spirit stones were probably all the readily available working capital the Jiang family had.

After all, although the Jiang family is the royal family of Dongyuan Kingdom, with a large family and great wealth, and is not short of spirit stones, under normal circumstances, no one would store so many readily available spirit stones for cultivation—spirit stones are ultimately limited in their cultivation speed, and for them, they are more often just a form of currency.

"Since my parents-in-law are so generous, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Without further hesitation, Chen Yang immediately sat down cross-legged, activated his internal cultivation technique, and began to absorb the pure spiritual energy from the spirit stone.

"System, upgrade the Unstable Breath Soil Technique!"

[Ding! Consumed 50 spirit stones, the Unstable Breath Soil Technique has been upgraded to the Lesser Completion stage!]

[Ding! Consumed 100 million spirit stones, the Unstable Breath Soil Technique has been upgraded to the Great Perfection stage!]

[Ding! Consumed 250 million spirit stones, the Unstable Breath Soil Technique has been upgraded to its peak level!]

[Ding! Consumed 400 million spirit stones, the Unbound Breath Soil Technique has been upgraded to the Perfect Ultimate Level!]

As the system's notifications continued, Chen Yang felt the earth-attribute Dao Platform within his body begin to grow and solidify rapidly!

Above the platform, the fourth-floor tower rose from the ground at a visible speed. Its yellowish body exuded a heavy and steady aura, and it became increasingly rounded and full.

He could clearly feel the earth-attribute domain power around him rapidly increasing, and the earth element around his body becoming unusually active, as if countless invisible little hands were pulling him.

Soon, the earth-attribute domain power had climbed to a range of five or six hundred meters!

The next moment, as the Wuding Xirang Technique was raised to the perfect and ultimate level, Chen Yang felt a sudden tremor throughout his body, and the earth attribute Dao Platform in his body actually reached the perfect state in an instant!

Buzz—

A surge of pure energy swept over Chen Yang's body, and he felt a sudden clarity in his mind. His spiritual sense had grown considerably stronger without him even realizing it, and his body's sensitivity to the spiritual energy of the surrounding world had become even more acute.

He couldn't help but open his eyes and look up at the ceiling. At that moment, Chen Yang was suddenly able to clearly sense the faint earth-attribute Dao power between heaven and earth!

"I see!" Chen Yang exclaimed in sudden realization, his heart filled with excitement. "The Foundation Establishment Realm involves forging a Dao Platform within the body, forming the power of a domain; while the Divine Power Realm is about allowing one's domain power to truly touch the rules of heaven and earth, thereby influencing those rules and forming one's own divine powers!"

Previously, his wind attribute Dao platform had only reached the peak level, not yet truly perfected.

Now, his earth-attribute Dao Platform has reached perfection for the first time, which allows Chen Yang to truly perceive the gap and essential difference between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Divine Power Realm for the first time.

Chen Yang wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but exclaim, "The Boundless Breath of Earth Technique is truly powerful! After cultivating it to the Perfect Supreme level, it not only allowed me to instantly reach the Great Perfection of Earth Attribute, but also easily broke through the bottleneck!"

"Once my other four Dao Platforms reach perfection, I can easily form my own earth-attribute divine power! It's just that my Dao Platforms are still incomplete right now, so I can't activate the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for the time being."

Having figured all this out, Chen Yang felt a sense of clarity.

At this moment, his domain power has become even stronger. Normally, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage who cultivates a single element can only extend his domain power to five or six hundred meters at most, but Chen Yang's earth attribute domain, combined with the weak domains of other attributes, can now extend to a range of twelve or thirteen hundred meters!

"Although I am still at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, in my current state, even if I face an ordinary cultivator who has just entered the Divine Power Realm, the other party may not be able to kill me easily!" Chen Yang's lips curled into a confident smile.

Then, he took out the cloak that his father-in-law, Jiang Fan, had given him from his storage bag.

[Ding! Host has obtained a third-class secret treasure—the God-Concealing Cloak!]

[Ding! You can consume two million spirit stones to upgrade the third-grade secret treasure, the Divine Cloak, to a second-grade secret treasure!]

Chen Yang did not rush to upgrade, but first used his divine sense to explore the purpose of the God-Concealing Cloak.

This cloak is entirely a deep blue color, made of a soft and smooth material, and feels almost weightless when worn. Its core function is to completely conceal one's aura and cultivation level, while also blocking others' spiritual sense from probing.

"Good heavens!" Chen Yang's eyes lit up. "With this cloak, my secret of cultivating five Dao Platforms won't be easily discovered! Moreover, even a Golden Core cultivator using their divine sense won't be able to detect my true identity!"

This thing is an excellent treasure for concealing one's identity, but it's not very useful in direct combat.

"What additional effects will it have after upgrading to a second-grade secret treasure?" Chen Yang stroked his chin, somewhat hesitant. "Two million spirit stones, that's a bit expensive..."

He opened his panel and glanced at it; he still had 450 million spirit stones remaining.

"I feel bad for it, but this cloak is too important for me to hide my identity. What if there's an even bigger surprise after I upgrade?"

Chen Yang gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to upgrade.

[Ding! Consuming two million spirit stones, the third-grade secret treasure, the Divine Cloak, has been upgraded to a second-grade secret treasure!]

As soon as he finished speaking, the cloak in Chen Yang's hand suddenly flashed with a hazy gray light, and then its aura completely changed.

Faint array patterns appeared on the originally dark blue cloak, shimmering with a faint spiritual light. At the same time, a thin, cicada-wing-like hood was added to the collar of the cloak, with extremely exquisite workmanship.

Chen Yang immediately draped the cloak over his shoulders, casually put on the hood, and then gently wiped his face.

The next second, his appearance changed instantly!

His once handsome face had become an extremely ordinary face, with his eyebrows, nose, and lips all becoming unremarkable. Even if an acquaintance stood in front of him, they would never recognize him.

"Holy crap! This effect is just too incredible!" Chen Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

He could sense that the change in appearance was not just superficial; even his aura and spirit had changed. Even a Golden Core cultivator would not be able to see through this disguise!

This is the power of a second-class treasure!

Chen Yang blinked. Although he had spent two million spirit stones to only get the function of concealing his appearance, he felt it was a bit of a waste.

But the thought that with this cloak, he could completely conceal his identity when killing the fifth and sixth brothers, without having to worry about being tracked down by the Tianhai Sect.

Chen Yang felt that the two million was well spent.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Li Fengying was gently keeping her sleeping daughter company.

Suddenly, she frowned slightly and turned her head in surprise to look in the direction of the next room.

As a late-stage Divine Power Realm cultivator, her senses were extremely sharp. Just a moment ago, she clearly sensed that Chen Yang's domain aura in the next room was rapidly increasing and growing stronger, and the speed of growth was beyond her comprehension!

"This child's talent is terrifying?" Li Fengying was secretly shocked. "No wonder Jiang Fan values ​​him so much. It seems Yun Dou really found the right person this time..."
