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

The night was as dark as ink, and candlelight flickered in the guest rooms of Tianhaimen.

Chen Yang did not leave the guest courtyard, but quietly slipped into Jiang Yundou's room. As soon as he entered, his eyes were immediately drawn to the girl in front of him.

Jiang Yundou wore a light pink dress with a trailing hem, revealing her long, straight, and slender legs, and her skin glowed with a luminous sheen in the candlelight.

Upon seeing Chen Yang enter, Jiang Yundou's cheeks instantly flushed red. Her innocent eyes flashed with anticipation, mixed with a hint of shyness, and her hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt.

"Kidney beans!"

Chen Yang strode forward and pulled her soft body into his arms, the faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

Jiang Yundou blushed, a sweet smile playing on her lips. She snuggled against him, then suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up, saying, "Oh, right, Chen Yang! These are spirit stones my father asked me to give you, to thank you for facilitating the alliance between Tianhai Sect and the Jiang family!"

She handed over an antique-style storage ring.

Chen Yang took the ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It contained a full three million spirit stones, piled up like a small mountain!

"Great!" Chen Yang was overjoyed, as he was currently short of spirit stones.

Next, I need to cultivate three water-attribute cultivation techniques and also need a huge amount of spirit stones to break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. These three million spirit stones are like a godsend!

He put away the storage ring, chuckled, and reached out to pinch Jiang Yundou's flushed cheek, his tone teasing: "You've given me so many great gifts, I have to repay you properly! How about... we do it three times tonight?"

"Huh?!" Jiang Yundou's ears instantly turned bright red, almost bleeding. She quickly buried her face in Chen Yang's chest, her voice barely audible, "Don't talk nonsense! This was given to you by Father, not by me... And, and three times is too much! That would kill me!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Yang laughed loudly and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the two soon tumbled into each other under the soft quilt, the room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

More than half an hour later, everything returned to calm.

Jiang Yundou rested her beautiful face on Chen Yang's arm, her eyes filled with a hint of languor. Her fair fingers gently traced the tip of Chen Yang's ear as she spoke in a soft, sweet voice, "Chen Yang, there's something I almost forgot to tell you..."

"Hmm? What is it?" Chen Yang looked down at her.

"My wife's older sister seems to be waking up soon!" Jiang Yundou's eyes sparkled.

"My wife's older sister?" Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "You mean Liu Qingxia, who cultivates in the lotus?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's her!" Jiang Yundou nodded vigorously. "I heard from Father that her seclusion is almost over!"

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "When she wakes up, she'll definitely like you, her cute little sister!"

"Hehehe!" Jiang Yundou laughed happily and snuggled into his arms.

After lingering for a while longer, Chen Yang got up and left the room, disappearing in a flash back to his own cave on Talisman Peak.

Inside the cave, Chen Yang sat on a futon, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He must go to the battle for the Rift!

Although he has the Sword Saint puppet and powerful spiritual sense, giving him a great chance of winning, the rift is fraught with danger and he cannot afford to be careless. He must be fully prepared!

He first took out the three water-attribute cultivation manuals and carefully read through them.

These three cultivation techniques, "Yellow Spring Ice Netherworld Technique," "Galaxy Body Cleansing Technique," and "Extreme Cold Ice Seal Slash," are indeed profound. Once mastered, they can help him break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, he also knows that even if he reaches the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the increase in combat power from a simple realm advancement is limited. To ensure victory in the rift, he needs to make other preparations.

"There are still seven days until the rift opens, enough time for me to prepare!"

A glint of light flashed in Chen Yang's eyes. He immediately took out animal skin paper, a carving brush, and a fine jade talisman, preparing to make talismans!

Although talismans are not as powerful as formations, they are convenient to carry and flexible to use, and can be surprisingly effective in critical moments! Now he has mastered the art of talismans to the highest level, and making talismans is a piece of cake for him!

For the next two days, Chen Yang was completely immersed in making talismans.

Inside the cave, spiritual light flickered, and the engraving brush moved swiftly across the animal skin paper and jade talisman, instantly forming profound runes.

He crafted over three hundred talismans in one go, including powerful fire and thunder talismans as well as the simplest and most effective defensive, speed, and stealth talismans. Each one contained pure spiritual power, and its quality far surpassed that of ordinary talisman masters' works!

On the morning of the third day, the cave door was gently pushed open.

Gao Rushi walked in, and as soon as she entered, she was so shocked by the sight before her that her mouth dropped open. On the stone platform and the ground inside the cave, there were countless talismans neatly arranged, each one radiating a rich spiritual energy, with flowing runes and shimmering light!

She had known for a long time that Chen Yang knew some talisman techniques, but she never expected that his talisman skills would reach such a superb level! Throughout the history of Tianhai Sect, no talisman master had ever been able to compare with him!

Recalling the many amazing skills Chen Yang had previously displayed, such as array formations, alchemy, and beast taming, Gao Rushi's gaze towards Chen Yang was filled with nothing but shock and intense love.

She couldn't help but quietly step forward and gently hug Chen Yang's waist from behind, pressing her cheek against his back and feeling the warmth of his body.

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then turned to see Gao Rushi. A mischievous smile crept across his lips. He put down his carving brush, grabbed her hand, and said, "It's rare for Sister Rushi to throw herself into my arms like this. Come on, this time your husband has to do his best to satisfy Sister Rushi!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gao Rushi blushed and quickly waved her hands, her eyes filled with shyness. "I just think you're amazing. I never imagined that your talisman skills could reach such a level... I just couldn't help wanting to hug you. It was out of affection but within the bounds of propriety, nothing as dirty as you think!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Yang laughed loudly, and Gao Rushi was also amused by him.

After laughing, Gao Rushi composed herself and said seriously, "Chen Yang, I just received news that the people from Red Abyss Valley and the Ma family have actually volunteered to join our team and enter the rift to participate in the battle! I really didn't expect those slippery Ma family members to be so enthusiastic this time. Perhaps they want to fight for this rift passage for their Golden Core ancestor?"

"Oh? The Ma family and Red Abyss Valley have voluntarily joined the war?"

The smile on Chen Yang's face vanished instantly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

He looked up at Gao Rushi, his tone grave: "Senior Sister Rushi, didn't you say before that the battle for the rift is extremely dangerous, and even cultivators at the Divine Power Realm have a high chance of perishing inside?"

"Yes!" Gao Rushi nodded, her expression turning serious. "The rift not only contains unknown spatial-temporal turbulence and monsters from other dimensions, but we also have to face the madmen of the Holy Fire Cult—they are blessed by the Holy Fire, they feel no pain, are fearless of death, their power is inexhaustible, and their combat strength is terrifying!"

Chen Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes sharp: "Given how dangerous it is, the Ma family and Red Abyss Valley have still taken the initiative to join the battle... I don't think they genuinely want to fight for the passage for Ma Jinshuo; there's probably something else going on!"

"Something else on their mind?" Gao Rushi was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "Could they really dare to betray the Myriad Immortals Dynasty and collude with the Holy Fire Sect? That's a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!"

Chen Yang didn't laugh; his expression remained serious. "I don't think so! It's not just the Ma family, but also the Red Abyss Valley, which has actively sought us out. Now that our Tianhai Sect and the Jiang family have merged, our power has surged. The Red Abyss Valley must be feeling the pressure; they might be plotting something wicked!"

Gao Rushi thought about it carefully, and her face darkened: "Now that you mention it, it's quite possible! If they really collude with the Holy Fire Sect and secretly attack us in the rift, the consequences will be unimaginable! The crime of betraying the Myriad Immortals Dynasty is too great. Once exposed, they will surely die, so they will definitely take risks! They will try every means to kill all the disciples who enter."

"That's right!" Chen Yang nodded, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Therefore, we must be fully prepared! Senior Sister, please help me collect more engraving brushes, high-quality animal hide paper, and jade talismans. Over the next few days, I will be in seclusion to refine more talismans. We must be prepared for any eventuality!"

"Okay!" Gao Rushi nodded emphatically, then grabbed Chen Yang's arm, her eyes filled with worry. "By the way, Chen Yang... you're not going to participate in the Rift Conquest too, are you?"

Chen Yang turned to look at her, suddenly stepped forward, quickly kissed her on the lips, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Ru! I know my advantages and I'm fully confident! Besides, I also want to go and see the rift as soon as possible."

Seeing Chen Yang's confident gaze, Gao Rushi knew she couldn't dissuade him, so she could only nod helplessly: "Then you must be careful! I'll go and gather the materials for you right away, and try my best to meet your needs!"

After saying that, she turned and quickly left the cave.

As soon as Gao Rushi stepped out of Chen Yang's cave, she encountered Qingyun swaying in the air.

Qingyun was wearing a short skirt that barely covered her thighs. Her skin glowed in the morning light, and she exuded a faint floral fragrance. Her gait was alluring. Gao Rushi grabbed her arm, her eyes teasing, "You smell so good, and you're wearing such a short skirt. Are you planning to go find Chen Yang?"

"Hehehe!" Qingyun laughed, her eyes crinkling, her tone laced with a hint of slyness. "My dear sect leader, aren't we all aiming for the same thing? Aren't we both after that little brat Chen Yang? Didn't you already eat him? I'm too late again!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gao Rushi's cheeks instantly flushed red. She pinched Qingyun's arm hard and scolded, "Who ate him! I came to tell him that Red Abyss Valley and the Ma family have joined the war! Besides, Chen Yang is determined to go to the Rift Battle, and he won't listen to any persuasion. Let's not waste his energy anymore. He needs to rush to make talismans, so let's hurry up and collect the best materials for him!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun couldn't help but sigh, her tone tinged with disappointment: "Well, well, it seems I won't have a chance to satisfy my craving for the next few days!"

"Pah!" Gao Rushi blushed and spat, glancing at her with a smile, "How come I never noticed how shameless you were before? You were such a proper person when we were together!"

"Will saving face make me happy? Will it improve my strength?" Qingyun covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably. "Hehehe, practicality is the most important!"

The two joked and teased each other, and soon set off to prepare the materials for the talisman for Chen Yang.
