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

The Tianhai Gate was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Red lanterns hung from the towering ancient trees on both sides, and colorful embroidered strips fluttered in the wind. The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and the crowds were bustling with noise, creating a festive and lively atmosphere.

Chen Yang stood outside the mountain gate, looking at the sudden festive decorations, completely bewildered—he had only been gone for a few days, why was the sect holding such a grand celebration?

He suppressed his doubts, stepped into Tianhai Gate, and in a flash, sped towards Fulu Peak.

Currently, besides himself, Qingyun, and Gao Rushi, Talisman Peak only has two disciples: Pang Lele and Zhang Churan. To be precise, Pang Lele is a formal inner disciple, while Zhang Churan is ultimately someone sent by the Holy Emperor and will leave Tianhai Sect sooner or later.

Chen Yang scanned the area from the mountaintop with his divine sense and discovered that Gao Rushi and Qingyun were not in the sect. Only a cave in the middle of the mountain showed signs of movement. He moved swiftly, flying towards the cave like an arrow—it was Zhang Churan's residence.

At this moment, Zhang Churan's cave was shrouded in mist.

Zhang Churan was soaking in the warm hot spring pool, with a few pink petals floating on the surface. Her eyes were dreamy, her cheeks were flushed, and a fair hand was gently stroking her body.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall everything that happened with Chen Yang in the illusion last time—although the two of them were completely innocent in reality and had never even held hands, the scene in the illusion was too real. That extreme experience made her toss and turn every night, feeling both restless and nostalgic, and also carrying a secret expectation.

"It's all that bastard Chen Yang's fault!" Zhang Churan bit her red lips, cursing inwardly, "He's even made my Dao heart waver!"

Just then, Chen Yang's voice came from outside the cave, tinged with urgency: "Chu Ran? Chu Ran, are you inside?"

Zhang Churan snapped back to reality, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. She quickly moved her hand away from her body. How had she gotten so far?!

She moved her hand away, feigning composure, and replied, "What is it?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yang had already strode into the cave.

He looked up and was instantly stunned—in the hot spring pool, Zhang Churan had a curvaceous figure and snow-white skin, appearing even more charming amidst the swirling mist.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Chen Yang quickly turned his head, his cheeks burning, his tone embarrassed, "I didn't know you were taking a shower!"

Looking at his disheveled appearance, Zhang Churan gritted her teeth, inwardly scoffing and muttering to herself, "Hypocrite! He's seen and done everything in the illusion, and now he's pretending to be a virtuous gentleman! You've corrupted my Dao heart, and you still want to act like nothing happened?"

Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly popped into Zhang Churan's mind: Since that bastard Chen Yang made his Dao heart uneasy, then he would not let him have an easy time either, and would disrupt his cultivation Dao heart!

As soon as the thought crossed Zhang Churan's mind, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he even began to look forward to it.

She stood up straight from the hot spring, water droplets sliding down her fair skin and outlining her alluring curves. Instead of drying herself, she took out an extremely thin white gauze robe from her storage ring and quickly put it on.

The robe, which was originally designed to resemble a nightgown, was made of a sheer material. Now that it was soaked in water, it became even more transparent, highlighting her figure perfectly and making her even more alluring than if she were not wearing anything at all.

Zhang Churan walked barefoot across the wet stone slabs towards Chen Yang, her voice carrying a hint of languid coquettishness: "Alright, Chen Yang, what are you doing here?"

Chen Yang slowly turned his head, and the moment his gaze fell on her, his pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes widened, and he stared at the beauty in front of him with an incredulous expression.

At this moment, Zhang Churan's long hair cascaded down her shoulders, the wet strands clinging to her cheeks and neck. Beneath her sheer robe, her graceful figure was vaguely visible. Already possessing stunning beauty, she now appeared, fresh from her bath, radiating moisture and shyness, like a water fairy, inspiring countless fantasies.

Seeing Chen Yang's distracted state, Zhang Churan secretly gloated, "Hmph, what a hypocrite! He's completely bewitched by me! He acted so prim and proper before, let's see if his Dao heart is in turmoil now!"

She suppressed her secret delight and said calmly, "Chen Yang, sit down and have some tea. What do you want to ask me?"

Chen Yang swallowed hard, his eyes glazed over, his mind blank. He stammered, "I... what was I trying to ask?"

"Pfft!" Zhang Churan couldn't help but chuckle. She covered her mouth lightly, turned around, poured Chen Yang a glass of water, handed it to him, and teased, "Have a sip of water first, calm down, and think it over carefully?"

Chen Yang took the water glass, his cheeks flushing even more. He scratched his head, trying hard to recall his purpose, and finally realized what he had come for. He quickly said, "Oh, right! I wanted to ask what big thing happened at Tianhaimen? Why are there red ribbons hanging everywhere and drums and gongs being played?"

Zhang Churan rolled her eyes at him, her tone tinged with helplessness: "You've already forgotten about this? Wasn't it you who suggested establishing diplomatic relations with the Jiang family and welcoming them to come and offer guidance? Our Tianhai Sect arranged all this precisely to welcome the Jiang family!"

"Oh!" Chen Yang slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "I almost forgot about that! I was so focused on cultivation lately that I neglected it."

He looked at Zhang Churan, and when she bent down slightly to hand him water, her exquisite curves were fully revealed under the thin veil, and his heart couldn't help but flutter again.

Zhang Churan withdrew her hand and said softly, "Chen Yang, I should return to the Holy Emperor tomorrow to resume my duties. I will truthfully inform the Holy Emperor of the changes at Tianhai Sect."

Hearing that Zhang Churan was leaving, Chen Yang felt a strange pang of reluctance. At the same time, he was also puzzled—was this woman dressed like this in front of him on purpose? Did she think he was blind?

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhang Churan suddenly approached, reached out her fair fingers, and gently tugged at his ear, her tone slightly coquettish: "Alright, you've found out everything, you can leave my cave now."

Chen Yang sat there, feeling the faint fragrance emanating from Zhang Churan and the cool touch on his fingertips. His heart warmed, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug her slender waist.

"Ouch!" Zhang Churan immediately pushed him away, laughing sweetly, "Senior Brother Chen, what are you doing? Why are you touching me like that? We only have a pure sect friendship!"

She chuckled softly, her eyes full of mockery.

Chen Yang looked at her, somewhat bewildered—this woman, one moment seducing him, the next pushing him away, what exactly was she trying to do?

Zhang Churan reached out and pulled Chen Yang up, gently nudging him a few times, urging, "Alright, alright, it's getting late, you should go! Get out of here!"

Without saying another word, she quickly pushed Chen Yang out of the cave and then slammed the door shut.

Standing outside the cave, Chen Yang looked at the tightly closed stone door and recalled Zhang Churan's hazy, beautiful body from earlier. He felt a surge of heat rising through his body, and a fire rushed to his head.

But he knew there was nothing he could do, so he could only shake his head helplessly, turn around, and leave quickly.

Inside the cave, Zhang Churan leaned against the door, thinking of Chen Yang's cowardly and timid nature, and couldn't help but laugh smugly. He thought to himself, "You've ruined my Dao heart! I'll make sure you get what you want but can't have! Don't think this is over. After I return to the Holy City and become the Holy Emperor's Secret Envoy, I'll be back!"

Chen Yang returned to his cave dwelling, and it took him quite a while for his mind to gradually calm down.

The sounds of gongs, drums, and cheers outside grew louder and louder. Chen Yang stood up, a knowing glint in his eyes—he knew that his father-in-law, Jiang Fan, the head of the Jiang family, had arrived with his men!

Since Gao Rushi became the sect leader, Chen Yang has been pushing for the Tianhai Sect and the Jiang family to re-establish diplomatic relations and form a new alliance. He wants the two sides to be closely united and become strong and reliable allies.

This will not only solidify Gao Rushi's position as the patriarch, but also allow the entire Dongyuan Kingdom to become a unified entity once again.

At this moment, outside Tianhai Gate, Jiang Fan, along with his wife Li Fengying, daughter Jiang Yundou, and most of the core disciples of the Jiang family, arrived in full force and landed steadily in front of the mountain gate.

The Tianhai Sect took this matter very seriously. Gao Rushi already knew about the relationship between Chen Yang and Jiang Fan and trusted the Jiang family completely. She led all the high-ranking disciples of the Tianhai Sect, lining up in front of the mountain gate to wait.

Upon seeing Jiang Fan and his group arrive, Gao Rushi immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, indicating that Tianhaimen was willing to form an alliance with the Jiang family and help each other.

Jiang Fan quickly stepped forward to help her up, laughed heartily, and the senior personnel from both sides then began to interact enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, the Tianhai Sect disciples below were engaged in lively discussion.

Among the crowd were some remaining disciples of the Ma family, who took the opportunity to spread rumors: "We thought our new sect leader was so powerful, but he's already acting as a lackey for the Jiang family as soon as he takes office!"

"I think the new sect leader is good-looking, but he has absolutely no backbone! Our Tianhai Sect is now stronger than the Jiang family, so why should we ally with them and become their subjects?"

The discussions grew louder, and many ordinary disciples began to waver.

Jiang Fan's cultivation was already very close to the Golden Core Realm, and his hearing was amazing, so the discussions naturally did not escape his ears.

His gaze swept over the Tianhai Sect disciples below, a smile playing on his lips. He stepped forward and proclaimed loudly, "Fellow disciples of the Tianhai Sect, I, Jiang Fan, am delighted to renew our brotherhood today!"

"In the past, Tianhaimen and Jiang family were of the same lineage and shared the same blood. We were both forces of Dongyuan Kingdom and should have been united against a common enemy! However, due to some misunderstandings, the two sides drifted further and further apart."

"Today is a big day! I, Jiang Fan, hereby announce—two months from now, all Foundation Establishment disciples of the Tianhai Sect will be able to receive a Breakthrough and Clarity Pill for free!"

He paused, then added, "Of course, if anyone does not support the establishment of diplomatic relations between Tianhaimen and the Jiang family, they can choose not to receive it; the Jiang family will never force them!"

"What?! A Barrier-Breaking and Dao-Clearing Pill?!"

Upon hearing this, the Tianhai Sect disciples below erupted into an uproar!

This Breakthrough and Clearing Pill is a peerless elixir that can guarantee Foundation Establishment disciples can break through directly to the Divine Power Realm without any bottlenecks after reaching the Great Perfection Realm!

Previously, Tianhai Sect had very few in stock, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary disciples to obtain one! Only disciples from the Ma family could obtain one through connections.

And now, Jiang Fan is actually announcing that every Foundation Establishment disciple can receive it for free?!

This isn't establishing diplomatic relations; it's clearly throwing money around and offering up opportunities!

In an instant, all the murmurs ceased, replaced by ecstatic joy and excitement! The vast majority of Foundation Establishment disciples knelt down with a thud, loudly thanking Jiang Fan: "Thank you, Patriarch Jiang! Thank you, Emperor Jiang! Long live the Emperor!"

Jiang Fan stood there, smiling slightly—he was also marveling at Chen Yang's generosity! To completely integrate Tianhai Sect and the Jiang family, he was actually willing to take out so many Breakthrough and Dao-Clearing Pills!

All of this was naturally planned by Chen Yang long ago.

Just then, the Golden Core Realm patriarch of the Jiang family also arrived from afar, flying through the air. Zhou Xing, the Golden Core patriarch of the Tianhai Sect, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The two Golden Core Realm elders exchanged a smile, shook hands, and walked side by side into the Tianhai Gate.

With this, the alliance between Tianhaimen and the Jiang family was completely solidified, and the two sides became inseparable.

Later, cultivators at the Divine Power Realm will engage in large-scale exchanges and learning, sharing resources and causing their power to surge instantly!

Standing atop Talisman Peak, Chen Yang looked at the jubilant scene in front of the mountain gate and chuckled—he knew that he had made the right move!

As a result, the remaining forces of the Ma family had no place to stand in Tianhaimen!

As night fell, the banquet courtyard inside Tianhai Gate was brightly lit.

Chen Yang quietly slipped inside.

Inside the main house, Jiang Fan, Gao Rushi, and Li Fengying were talking.

He gently closed the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smug smile, "It's finally done! From now on, we're family!"

Despite her serious demeanor in front of everyone, Gao Rushi maintained a composed expression – she didn't want anyone to know about her special relationship with Chen Yang.

She nodded to Chen Yang, then said, "Chen Yang, the Jiang family brought a lot of big news with them this time."
