After checking her favorability panel, Xiao Chen used the ’Viin’s Eye’ on Jingxue.


    [Name: Tang Jingxue


    Status: Saintess of the Peerless Sword Heaven and daughter of the Pce Lord of the Absolute Yin Pce


    Cultivation: Mysterious tform Early Stage


    Physique: Divine Charm Physique and Eternal Frost Celestial Yin Physique (Unawakened)


    Destiny: 8700]


    He was puzzled to see that her Eternal Frost Celestial Yin Physique was still unawakened.


    ’System, why hasn’t her physique awakened?’ He suspected it was because his physique wasn’t a Yang type, but he wanted to confirm with the system.


    [Ding! Eternal Frost Celestial Yin Physique is the most powerful Yin body and requires the assistance of a strong Yang object or dual cultivation with a strong Yang-type physique.]


    Upon seeing this response, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he cursed the heaven’s will for its shameless tactics.


    Xiao Chen realized that even if he searched the entire Azure Jade Continent, he wouldn’t find a Yang object strong enough to awaken Jingxue’s physique.


    He didn’t need to think hard about it, as Ye Fan was likely the only person capable of doing so.


    In that moment, he recognized that he had underestimated the luck of a chosen one.


    If the plot unfolded as it had before, Ye Fan would make Tang Jingxue fall in love with him and max out her favorability.


    He would assist Tang Jingxue in awakening her physique using a Yang transmission technique, absorb the leftover energy from her awakening, and ultimately evolve his own physique.


    After his physique evolved, his destiny value would rise by leaps and bounds.


    Without even asking the system, Xiao Chen knew that Ye fan would yield far greater benefits than what he would receive once Jingxue’s favorability reached 95.


    After piecing all this together, a cruel glint shed in his eyes.


    ’I thought it would be sufficient to snatch opportunities and asionally steal daopanions,’ he mused, an evil smile spreading across his lips. ’But it seems I need to be more ruthless.’


    ’So what if I don’t have a Yang-type physique? I will devour it.’


    ’If I don’t have a background, I’ll take it for myself!’ As he contemted this, his innate demonic and divine immortal physique, which had been dormant, trembled with excitement.


    With this, Xiao Chen’s hunger for strength grew stronger. He took the magical crystal from the system’s space.


    During the day, he had already asked Tang Jingxue about it and she had encouraged him to take it.


    It was the reward she received from defeating a demonic beast, and he wouldn’t be so shameless as to absorb it secretly now that they had be daopanions.


    Without hesitation, he used his physique to devour and refine the magical crystal.


    Suddenly, ck and white strands of aura emerged from his body, causing the magical crystal to shrink at an rming rate.

    In the morning, brilliant rays of sunlight poured in, melting the dew on the leaves left from the night’s chill, and countless flowers bloomed, creating a stunning scene.


    Inside the cave, Xiao Chen woke from his cultivation. As he opened his eyes, sharp rays of aura shed.


    Finally, he had reached the peak stage of divine awakening and hisbat prowess was that of the mysterious tform early stage.


    Now, he can fight against ordinary opponents at the middle stage without losing.


    This was because after fusing with his physique, his talent which was previouslybeled as ’genius’ in the lower realm, had evolved to an entirely new level.


    When he stepped outside, he found Jingxue cooking. He approached her from behind and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.


    "Xu’er, what are you cooking so early?"


    Tang Jingxue had sensed him with her divine sense, but she didn’t resist.


    Instead, she asked with a cute blush on her cheeks, "Can you wait till I finish making the meal?"


    "No, I can’t wait that long!" Xiao Chen replied with a teasing expression.


    Hearing his words, Tang Jingxue looked helpless, but when she caught thetter part of his sentence, her heart warmed.


    "Then let me help with the cooking!" he said, rolling up his sleeves, grabbing his sword, and starting to clean the demonic beast meat.


    [Ding! Tang Jingxue’s favorability increases by 2.]


    As Xiao Chen cleaned the meat, a smile spread across his face upon hearing the system prompt.


    He wasn’t really doing this for the favorability, though.


    After eating, they spent their time exchanging cultivation insights and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Crimson Edge Mountain Range.

    Soon, half a month passed.


    His hard work paid off!


    He was now only one step away from the mysterious tform realm, and Tang Jingxue’s favorability for him had reached 72.


    She had reached the peak of the early stage of the mysterious tform, which didn’t surprise him.


    Her talent was already among the best in the lower and middle realms, and she had cultivated to the mysterious tform solely with her talent.


    If he consider her divine charm physique, which possessed attributes conducive to dual cultivation, her talent had reached the top tier of the upper realm.


    This still when he didn’t even take her Eternal Frost Celestial Yin Physique into ount.


    In contrast, Tang Jingxue was astonished by his astonishing rate of growth.


    Although there were a few core disciples in the mysterious tform realm, all of them were above the age of 35 or 40, with some even over 100.


    "Ha… Ha… Xu’er, I’m going to Silver Sword City. Are youing with me?" Xiao Chen asked, panting after their sparring session.


    "Of course! I’ll go wherever Brother Chen goes!" she eximed, jumping into his arms.


    From the look on her face, it was clear she had no intention of returning to the sect.


    "Do you like me that much?" he asked with a teasing smile.


    "No, that’s not it!" Her face turned beet red after hearing his words.


    "We have some demonic beast items we can sell and we can go shopping! " she quickly denied his words.


    ’She’s such a bad liar,’ he thought, smiling at her adorable reaction but deciding not to call her out on it.


    "Yeah, let’s go shopping. I’ll buy you everything you ask for," Xiao Chen said, hugging her tightly.


    But deep within his eyes, a scheming light flickered.


    The main reason he wanted to go was because of Ye Fan’s opportunity.


    Ye Fan would buy a treasure map that would lead to a treasure capable of triggering the mutation of his physique.


    Without this, even if Ye Fan managed to win Tang Jingxue’s affection as in the plot, he would only be able to improve his strength a little.


    This time, Xiao Chen nned to meet Ye Fan in person!
