Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 646 - 079 Challenging Hou Chen

Nine Origin Heavenly City, Tianjun Main Peak.

Tianjun Main Peak was originally assigned to Zhou Yan, but now, this main peak had become Hou Chen’s abode.

Because Hou Chen’s combat power had already matched that of Ji Wu from before, and since Hou Chen was Zhou Yan’s disciple, receiving this main peak had the full approval of Hou Ling and others.

The eight main peaks next to Tianjun Main Peak were respectively assigned to Jia Yongheng, Xiao Ji Wu, Li Wuxian, Zhou Gucheng, Zhou Qianqian, and others.

These main peaks were almost all ranked in the top hundred.

This change naturally caused dissatisfaction among many cultivators. Zhou Yan had not left and still had a certain deterrent effect; now that Zhou Yan had departed, beneath the calm tide, a brewing storm was about to erupt.

On Tianjun Main Peak, Hou Chen painstakingly derived the Emperor Qi Dragon Transformation Technique, combining it with the Form-Intent Gray Dragon Dao, and he had already stimulated strands of bloodline, his realm advancing leaps and bounds at all times.

With the strong physique consolidated by his master, Hou Chen could now withstand the changes of Emperor Blood.

Since undergoing rigorous training by Bai Ying in the Yuan Ci Secret Realm’s Holy Land, and after his master helped him recast his flesh, the medicinal effects from the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm that he once ingested had also been fully stimulated, even refining a small part of Emperor Blood.

Additionally, learning the Artifact Dao’s cultivation allowed him to calm himself; under such various creations, Hou Chen’s realm had once again skyrocketed, reaching an ultimate level.

Hou Chen’s realm had even advanced into the mid-stage of the Sword Void Sixth Transformation, and his combat power was nearing the top ten. Adding on the suppressive ability of the Emperor Qi Dragon Transformation Technique on cultivators’ momentum, ordinary cultivators at the peak state of Sword Tribulation First Refinement could no longer match him.

This transformation was only discerned by beings like the Evil King and the Yaochi Saint.

However, these saints were extremely shocked after recognizing Hou Chen’s potential.

Hou Chen’s progress was much smoother and faster than Zhou Yan’s, and he encountered continuous fortuitous adventures. Especially after completely devouring the Ancient Emperor Blood of the Emperor Sword Lineage, the effects were overly heaven-defying, constantly transforming Hou Chen.

This was precisely why the saints agreed for Hou Chen to take over Zhou Yan’s thirty-seventh main peak, Tianjun Main Peak, and become the Peak Master!

But the saints knew this, while other genius cultivators did not.

Even Jiang Wannian, Yun Shu, Wan Zichen, Wan Ziqing, Huang FuZhan, and others couldn’t see this point; they all still thought Hou Chen’s combat power was similar to that of Ji Wu before the Ninth-layered Sealing was lifted.

But Hou Ling’er, Feng Lingqing, Xiao Ji Wu, Jia Yongheng, and others could see more clearly through it.

Because of the Yin Yang Mother-Child Formation entering and exiting the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, sisters Feng Lingqing and Li Yunjin, Li Qimeng, often brought Little Sisi to Tianjun Main Peak, and Little Sisi was also very attached to Hou Chen, always reluctant to move away her tightly grasped little hands from around Hou Chen’s neck.

Hou Chen also sincerely liked his master’s daughter, finding her delicately small and adorably plump, especially endearing.

...

At this moment, having just completed the derivation of Emperor Blood and entered the comprehension state of "Chaos Transformation," Hou Chen felt as if he had opened a bridge between heaven and earth, with all the energy between heaven and earth surging into his body like a deluge.

His cultivation speed had once again crazily increased by nearly eighty times!

It was as if he suddenly gained nine extra pairs of eyes, granting him much clearer insight into this world.

This feeling was like suddenly having nine epiphanies.

"Derivation... Chaos Shape? Transforming into Chaos Qi? What’s going on? Am I to abandon my physical body and transform into soul as Qi? What does this inheritance of Emperor Blood mean? By doing this, am I not seeking destruction and subsequently, rebirth from desperation?"

Hou Chen was confused.

He suddenly missed his master dearly.

If his master were here, his master’s intelligence would surely instantly comprehend the essence of this Tao.

But his own comprehension, no matter what, could not unravel its mystery. According to the literal inheritance perception, he would have to give up his physical body and ascend his soul... What if he died without a chance of revival?

To be reborn from a place of death? Without his master’s help, Hou Chen felt that he would only die and certainly not live!

Fear of death was not an issue for Hou Chen; he was bold as can be, not even caring about the saints to the point of daring to urinate in their secret resting places—why would he worry about death?

But he was cautious and aimed to become stronger than his master, then let his master rest, not to tire himself, and take on everything for his master!

It was exactly because of this obsession that he was even more determined to diligently cultivate.

But if he misunderstood now and cultivated himself to death, that would truly disappoint his master...

"I’m really feeling irritated, damn it, those spineless cultivators don’t even have the guts to challenge, how boring! Do I need to go knocking on their doors myself? So disappointing!"

"Alas! When master was around, I never felt that the Emperor Qi Dragon Transformation Technique was too difficult, and after master left, it’s been terribly challenging. Is the Emperor Qi Dragon Transformation Path playing with me?"

Thinking over it again, Hou Chen’s anger surged, and he could no longer continue cultivating.

"Damn this shitty Cultivation Technique, once I achieve Perfection, I’ll definitely reform it completely, make it extremely difficult, then pass it to my disciple, letting him look at a top-tier Cultivation Technique without being able to cultivate it, and cry without tears!"

Hou Chen said fiercely.

He patted his buttocks and stood up straight, opening the door to the Forbidden Land of Cultivation.

As the door opened, a soft, warm, pink little girl shot like a breeze into his arms.

"Brother, hug—chu chu."

The little girl sniffled and murmured.

Her tender little index finger was still in her mouth, sucking, with thin lips surrounded by saliva, a dripping mess.

"Hey, Little Sisi, brother said no thumb sucking."

Hou Chen said helplessly.

Speaking, he gently touched Zhou Sisi’s head.

He felt safe and comfortable when Master touched his head, so he did the same to Little Sisi’s head.

He believed that Little Sisi must have felt the same warmth and sense of security, feeling happy.

As he kept doing it, it had become a habit.

Zhou Sisi tilted her head, her big eyes filled with a confused look, seemingly mixed with a bit of puzzlement and enjoyment.

"Nah, nah lah."

Zhou Sisi cooed softly.

Her pronunciation wasn’t clear, smart but not particularly intelligent. After all, she was just a child who had been separated not long ago, only a few months old.

"Nah? I certainly don’t have such big pectoral muscles."

Hou Chen said, a bit annoyed.

As he spoke, he inexplicably rubbed his own chest, where there were only lumpy hard muscles like chunks of iron, but no curves.

He curled his lip, apparently quite dissatisfied.

From afar, watching this scene, Feng Lingqing, Li Qimeng, and other women couldn’t help but smile and cover their mouths, laughing softly.

"Chenchen is actually very young and innocent at heart, always trying to act like an adult, pretending to be mature, just wanting to shoulder more burdens for his master. He really is a good kid. The more I look at him, the more I like him."

Feng Lingqing chuckled lightly.

Her eyes curved into beautiful crescents, very beautiful and charming.

Li Qimeng and Feng Ling Bamboo were slightly stunned, giving Feng Lingqing an extra glance, as if Feng Lingqing, after becoming a mother, had an extra maternal radiance, making her even more charming and enchanting.

"Yeah, Chenchen is a good kid... Ah, speaking of which, although we sisters are quite similar in many aspects, Zhou Yan always ignores me. I actually really wish we sisters could serve her together..."

Feng Ling Bamboo said softly.

"My husband actually likes these things a lot. He... is very capable in that aspect. If only you could let go a bit more. I’ve been through a lot, and these things, I have taken them lightly. Whatever he likes, I always actively cooperate."

Feng Lingqing’s face blushed slightly as she spoke softly.

She seemed to be lost in some beautiful and happy memories, her body emitting a very seductive charm.

Li Qimeng blushed as she listened on the side, tutting softly, and shyly moved to the other side, silently thought the two were really a bit shameless, discussing having sisters join together under the daylight...

Feng Ling Bamboo, however, didn’t mind, her heart seemingly wavering a bit.

But remembering that Zhou Yan was no longer there, that jubilant thought faded a bit.

"It’s all right, there will be more chances. But next time when the husband asks me to rest together, you shouldn’t be shy."

Feng Lingqing gently took Feng Ling Bamboo’s hand and said.

"Mm..." Feng Ling Bamboo’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, but she ’mmm’ed in agreement.

...

"Everyone says Zhou Yan is very powerful, which I admire," Hu Zhichun had met him before and respected his extraordinary demeanor, but it was a pity he left in a hurry without the chance to exchange a few moves. Now that Hou Chen, you’ve taken the position as the Peak Master of Tianjun Main Peak, that means you can fully represent Zhou Yan, right? The Saint said those who are not convinced can challenge the Peak Master. This is normal competition and not against the rules.

Before, I let you enjoy yourself for a few days, but now, I, Hu Zhichun, am the first to come challenge you. Hou Chen, do you dare to fight?"

Hou Chen was playing happily with Zhou Sisi when suddenly, from the Void, a man in white robes like snow appeared. Carrying a broadsword on his back, he stepped through the Void towards Hou Chen, calling out loudly.

His voice was like thunder, almost frightening Zhou Sisi.

Hou Chen, already frustrated as his Realm could not advance further, had long thought of finding someone to vent his frustrations and establish authority for his master and himself. Now someone was really handing him a pillow as he was dozing off, he was overjoyed, his face immediately breaking into a joyful smile.

This smile made Hu Zhichun pause—what was this little brat smiling about? Surely, he didn’t have some amazing ace up his sleeve?

Hu Zhichun was quite puzzled, yet still full of Battle Intent.

This time, he not only came deliberately but also to test Hou Chen’s Combat Power for someone else.

That person was Pang Wanchuan, ranked fifth among the top ten in Nine Origin Heavenly City.

His strength was unfathomable, but he always showed disdain for the arrogance of Zhou Yan’s lineage.

Of course, these were just superficial reasons—the real reason was that Tianjun Main Peak showcased over a dozen stunningly beautiful women each day, which truly enticed Pang Wanchuan. Pang Wanchuan, being extremely lustful but restrained by status and temporarily unable to act openly, thus had not made a direct move.

Although Pang Wanchuan never mentioned it, Hu Zhichun, being a close friend, understood his friend’s mind. Therefore, he prepared to test Hou Chen’s ability while at the same time displaying his and the closely allied Pang Wanchuan’s power, to make those women without significant backgrounds but with stunning beauty and temperament submissive...

With such thoughts, Hu Zhichun was the first to come provoke.

Of course, he also harbored thoughts of seizing a better position as Peak Master. In his view, this battle had many benefits.

"Little Sisi, you stay with your Master Mother for a while, watch Chenchen Brother beat up a crazy dog. This crazy dog barks a lot, isn’t he just asking for a beating? Chenchen Brother will beat him so badly he won’t even recognize his own mother."

Hou Chen said cheerfully.

Hearing this, Hu Zhichun’s face suddenly changed.

"You little brat, how dare you speak like that? Don’t you have any manners? Were you not raised by parents or taught by a master?"

Hu Zhichun shouted loudly, his eyes bulging round, and he stared at Hou Chen quite annoyed.

It seemed, being called a crazy dog by a little brat, he lost face greatly.
