ISWI Chapter 515-516

Chapter 515: The Fourth Holy Son Bullies Too Far!

Leaving Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, Ye Chen sat leisurely in his tower ship, heading toward Heavenly Desire Sect. Elder Mo, fulfilling his protector role, hid in the void. With his Yin-Yang Qi overflowing, Ye Chen didn't cultivate, gazing idly at the void. His brows twitched.

Since Elder Mo restored his Immortal Platform and reached Mahayana, his concealment skills had sharpened. Even his Heavy Pupils struggled to spot him now.

Sometimes, it took ages to find him. This worried him. Previously, when handling affairs outside, he used formations to block Mo's prying. He trusted his decency, but an accidental glance was unacceptable. His women were for his eyes only.

With Mo's breakthrough, could his old formations still block his sight? Time for a new one?

Changing plans, he detoured from heading straight to Heavenly Desire Sect, visiting a major sect en route. His arrival stunned the sect.

Ye Chen, the Great Yan Continent's undisputed top young prodigy, who split Heavenly Intention Holy Son, was a figure even Unity realm experts feared. Why would such a person visit their minor sect? Was Heavenly Evolution Holy Land raising tribute demands?

They already offered three treasure mines' output yearly—more would cripple them. When Ye Chen stated his purpose, the sect's leaders were baffled. The Fourth Holy Son came just to use the Array Refining Peak's quiet chamber?

Impossible. Though skeptical, they promptly prepared it. Ye Chen, a peak fifth-grade array master, could craft top-tier fifth-grade formations. In seven days, he forged a portable array disc, shielding against Unity realm spirit sense, gazes, and True Martial Eyes.

Satisfied, he emerged and made his second request: to meet all the sect's female prodigies and elders. His goal was simple—find one with a high multiplier and gift to her.

The sect leader's face soured. It was true—the Fourth Holy Son was after women. His reputation preceded him, and this request confirmed it. The leader nearly exploded. This was too humiliating.

Even if you're the Great Yan Continent's top prodigy, stronger than many veteran Unity experts, coming to our sect to pick a harem was too much! Did he not take them seriously? Didn't he know even a mighty dragon respects the local snake?

The furious sect leader, without hesitation, ordered, "Summon all female elders and talented female disciples!"

But he secretly instructed them not to call his daughter. Her beauty and talent—Heavenly Spirit Root and a spiritual body—promised a bright future. She couldn't be seen by the Fourth Holy Son, lest she be taken to his harem peak.

Half an hour later, the female elders and disciples arrived, curiously eyeing Ye Chen among the sect leader and supreme elders. Given his reputation, even those with partners felt a flicker of anticipation, hoping for a leap to prominence. But Ye Chen scanned them and frowned slightly.

The highest multiplier was only 600x—beneath his standards. Then his eyes lit up. He flew toward the crowd, landing before a figure in male attire, face hidden under a large hat.

The sect leader frowned, then his eyes widened. It was his daughter! She must've heard the news and disguised herself to watch. But with Ye Chen's Heavy Pupils, her concealment was useless. His heart shattered at the thought of her being taken to the harem peak.

The figure, realizing she was exposed, removed her hat, revealing a stunning, delicate face like fine jade, her eyes tinged with fear, like a startled rabbit.

"Greetings, Holy Son. I didn't mean to hide or deceive you. My father didn't tell me to avoid you. I was late and stood aside to avoid angering you!"

The sect leader's mouth twitched. He flew over, ready to speak. Though Ye Chen was untouchable, as a father, he couldn't let his daughter fall into danger. He'd beg if needed.

But before he could, Ye Chen smiled gently. "No need to worry. I approached you because I sensed a connection. I gained insights in array crafting, so I borrowed your sect's chamber to refine this portable array disc. When activated, it blocks Unity realm spirit sense, gazes, and True Martial Eyes—perfect for concealment. It can be used endlessly. It's useless to me, but as a disciple here, I gift it to you."

He flicked a crystalline array disc, shimmering with immortal and divine light, clearly made of top-tier materials, to her. Its value was immense. The Fourth Holy Son gifted such a treasure so casually? Astounding.

Amid everyone's shock, Ye Chen rose. Without caring if she accepted, he said, "I've disturbed you all. I'll take my leave…"

His figure soared skyward. The sect leader, relieved, started to warn that the mountain gate array was active. But before he could, the array, meant to block Unity cultivators, parted like nothing before Ye Chen. In a flash, his tall figure vanished into the sky.

Countless awed gazes and disciples' admiring, wistful sighs remained. The Fourth Holy Son was truly dashing. A cultivator should be so.

Beside the sect leader, his daughter timidly spoke, "Father, this array disc…"

Relieved Ye Chen was gone, he smiled, patting her head. "Since the Holy Son gave it, keep it. His reputation may be mixed, but his generosity is real."

She hugged the disc, joyfully recalling Ye Chen's commanding presence, deep eyes, terrifying aura, and gentle smile. New emotions stirred. After a moment, she mustered courage, whispering, "Father, our sect provides resources rivaling a Holy Land and devoted guidance. But I suddenly feel a Holy Land might suit me better. More geniuses, more competition—I'd grow faster…"

The sect leader's eyes widened. Disaster. He'd underestimated the Fourth Holy Son's tactics. Ye Chen didn't force her. But his gesture hooked her, luring her to leap into the fire herself…

Chapter 516: The Fourth Holy Son Wants to Claim the Field!

Ye Chen was unaware of how his actions were misinterpreted. On his tower ship, he reviewed the system rewards with great satisfaction.

"Congratulations, host, gift successful…"

"1000x feedback in progress…"

"Triggered critical hit…"

"Reward: Seventh-Grade Divine Array: Heaven-Piercing Earth-Shaking Breath-Sealing Array Disc!"

"When activated, no one below True Immortal can peer inside; it detects True Immortal spirit sense, issuing warnings."

Not a rare treasure, but perfectly suited to Ye Chen's needs. Below True Immortal, even quasi-immortals couldn't see within. He could act freely. If a True Immortal tried to peek, he'd be alerted instantly. Perfect. With this, he no longer feared eccentric old monsters spying during serious cultivation. A true anti-snooping artifact.

Thinking of the young girl, Ye Chen was pleased. Pity she wasn't from a Holy Land, or he'd recruit her to Ascension Peak for nurturing. With his worries gone, he sped toward Heavenly Desire Sect.

…

High in the sky, Elder Mo, concealed in the void, saw Ye Chen's sudden joyful grin and was puzzled. Did the Holy Son fancy that girl so much? She looked barely twenty, not even at Golden Core! Was his Holy Son that shameless?

He was growing more woman-obsessed. Heading to Heavenly Desire Sect for indulgence, yet stopping to pick female cultivators at other sects. Mo saw clearly—many women on his harem peak were still virgins. Did he have a collecting fetish? Rare in the cultivation world.

…

In the Great Yan Continent's north, Chen Lingxiao, with the Star River King Body, headed to the Endless Sea to return to the Central Continent. Countless stars flickered behind him, like a star god descending. He was confident.

In the Great Yan Continent, he gained an ancient Star Dao quasi-immortal's inheritance, elevating his physique. Previously, he narrowly lost to a human King Body, costing him a top ten prodigy spot.

Now, with his physique advanced, he could wield countless stars' radiance even in daylight, rivaling other top physiques. At night, it'd be his domain, strength surging. Returning to Central Continent, he'd reclaim his top ten rank. Then, a voice reached his ear, making him smile.

"The Heavenly Emperor's heir, Ye Chen, left his Holy Land for the Heavenly Desire Sect? The sect known for dual cultivation? He's infatuated with their divine maiden?"

Chen Lingxiao sneered. A top prodigy should focus on longevity and immortality. He thought Ye Chen avoided the Central Continent to train and close the cultivation gap with prodigies like him. Instead, he chased women. He'd heard Ye Chen coveted Heavenly Intention Holy Son's fiancée, splitting him in rage when rejected. Laughable.

"Is it confirmed he hasn't reached Unity? If not, I'll slay him. With such talent, yet lost to lust, he tarnishes the Heavenly Emperor's name. It takes two weeks to reach the Heavenly Desire Sect? No matter, Seventh Ancestor, let's go!"

Confirming Ye Chen wasn't in Unity, Chen Lingxiao relaxed. Heavy Pupils and Primordial Supreme Heart were top talents, but he was unconcerned.

In the same major realm, Chen Lingxiao would hesitate, avoiding a fight. But Ye Chen was only in Deity Transformation? His Star River King Body wasn't some common trash physique. Killing across a major realm was easy. He'd show the Heavenly Emperor's heir his might. With a confident wave, a radiant star descended, halting before him.

Chen Lingxiao stepped onto it, laughing wildly toward Heavenly Desire Sect.

"Heavenly Emperor's heir, I'm coming to slay you!"

Along the way, countless cultivators stared skyward in awe, seeing stars shine in daylight, a shocking sight.

…

A week later, Ye Chen arrived outside Heavenly Desire Sect, standing in the sky, surveying. Heavenly Desire Sect sat amid divine mountains, its core glowing with vibrant pink light, illuminating the night sky. It bustled with activity, often hosting external powerhouses, typically above Nascent Soul. Lesser cultivators were relegated to the nearby immortal city.

Ye Chen didn't conceal his aura, its grandeur drawing attention. A graceful figure flew up, greeting him. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. Who are you here to meet… Fourth Holy Son!"

Recognizing Ye Chen, her eyes filled with awe. Such was his status in the Great Yan Continent. Despite Central Continent's mockery of his avoidance, he was this generation's brightest star here.

"Fourth Holy Son's visit is beyond my authority. I've informed the Sect Leader!" she said nervously. Soon, several enchanting women arrived, led by Heavenly Desire Sect's leader, a mature beauty with a curvaceous figure and striking charm. Her treasure dress, though modest, exuded an allure that sparked desire at a glance.

Sadly, the system gave no response. At the Unity realm, she showed no senior's arrogance. "Forgive us for not greeting you sooner, Holy Son! Are you here for Qinghe? She recently reached mid-Deity Transformation and is stabilizing in seclusion. I've sent for her. Please, join us inside to rest…"

The Sect Leader was courteous. Ye Chen's potential, even if he didn't achieve immortality, guaranteed Mahayana, likely soon, given his speed. She showed full respect.

Ye Chen, not arrogant, nodded and exchanged pleasantries. But seeing external cultivators eyeing him, he felt lumped in with them—like a mere pleasure-seeker. This could taint his reputation. He spoke, "I dislike chaotic settings. May I ask if Heavenly Desire Sect could be cleared for some quiet?"

The Sect Leader didn't hesitate. "Of course!"

Instantly, Heavenly Desire Sect began clearing out external cultivators, even those mid-cultivation in caves. This sparked outrage. Many, already heated, grew angrier, crowding the gate, some ready to fight.

But hearing Ye Chen's name, they cooled and left obediently. They weren't surprised he was at Heavenly Desire Sect—typical of the Fourth Holy Son. Yet they seethed inwardly.

Your talent is unmatched, but clearing the Heavenly Desire Sect entirely? That's too much! Can you handle all their female cultivators alone?
