Chapter 772: A World Full of Spring Vitality

Upon leaving the Punishment Realm, Su Che’s first sight was the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord. It was a handsome young man in black, of average height, appearing even younger than his actual age—seemingly only sixteen or seventeen. What stood out most was his slightly raised eyebrows, which gave off an indescribable sense of evil.

Snap!

A small light dot was gently crushed between the Evil Emperor’s palms. Su Che knew that this dot, representing the space of the Punishment Realm, had been completely destroyed, and all the prisoners inside had been reduced to nothingness as well.

Such was the terrifying power of an Immortal Lord.

Soon after, another small light sphere the size of a fist appeared in the Evil Emperor’s palms. Inside, countless tiny particles could be clearly seen floating. Su Che guessed that these particles were the 35,000 tiny worlds the Evil Emperor intended to give to him—this light sphere was a space he had created specifically for that purpose. It was likely a one-time-use space only.

“Give it to me,” said the Evil Emperor.

Su Che then took out a storage ring and said, “Inside are 1.5 million anti-demon pills. The extra 500,000 are my humble gratitude to Senior Evil Emperor, just to express my sincerity.”

The Evil Emperor had thrown himself into the Punishment Realm and brought Su Che such great rewards. If he didn’t show some appreciation, Su Che would feel guilty and indebted.

The Evil Emperor wasn’t polite either. He could easily guess that producing these pills hadn’t cost Su Che much at all.

Next, Su Che took out another storage ring and said, “These are the 100,000 pills needed by the Holy Mother Immortal Lord. I’d like to deliver them to her right away.”

“Not bad. It’s rare to see you value integrity so much,” said the Evil Emperor. Yet he absorbed the second ring from Su Che’s hand and calmly added, “I’ll deliver these pills to the Holy Mother Immortal Lord for you. I’ve already placed 100 million immortal crystals inside this light sphere.”

“Thank you, Senior,” Su Che nodded in agreement.

“Lately, the Origin Demons have been causing trouble in the several space passages under my control. It’s probably because of your birth that they’ve sensed some hidden threat.”

The Evil Emperor then explained properly, “The subordinates guarding those space passages are losing people every day. That’s why I rushed to ask you for pills. Soon, other Immortal Lords will also come to you—one after another. You’d better prepare in advance.”

“I understand,” Su Che nodded in response.
“And then…”
The Evil Emperor spoke slowly, “There’s no need for you to hide your alchemy skills from us. Even if you could create hundreds of millions of pills in a day, it wouldn’t arouse any ill intentions in us. Your existence is destined by heaven—no one can take it away from you. Whatever you can create, no matter how powerful we are, we’ll be powerless against it… In your eyes, don’t even these Immortal Lords understand such simple truths?”
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior,” Su Che said with a smile and a nod. “With that, I’m relieved.”
“I’ll send you back.”
Without further ado, the Evil Emperor waved his hand, and Su Che underwent a long-distance spatial teleportation, returning directly to the backyard of his own shop in Haoyuan Tian Market.
He was back—like it was a dream…
Entering the shop, Su Che sent a mental message to everyone, “I’m back!”
A few moments later, Zhuo Feng, Yuan Yuan, and Fei Yun appeared before him. Zhuo Feng and Yuan Yuan almost said in unison, “Early Xuanxian stage?”
Fei Yun wasn’t surprised at all. After over a hundred years apart, her eyes only showed joy and tenderness. She remained indifferent to Su Che’s changes in strength.
On Qiyuan Star, she had already known him when he was still in the Qi Cultivation stage. She had been shocked many times by his rapid progress, but now she was completely used to it. Whether he was good or not, if he closed his eyes now and opened them again as an Immortal Emperor, Fei Yun wouldn’t find it strange at all.
“This trip really tired me out…”
Su Che waved his hand lightly, as if unable to express it fully, then asked, “Are Zong Yi and Lan Ling still here?”
“Senior Zong Yi has already left, but he left you a message talisman. You can contact him if needed.”
Zhuo Feng handed over two talismans. The other one was, “This is a talisman left by Immortal Emperor Lan Ling. She instructed that she would only be in the Haolan Continent’s mirror in the near future. If you return, be sure to send her a message right away.”
“Okay.”
Without delay, Su Che took the talismans and activated them to send a message to Lan Ling.
After that, Su Che only mentioned that he had been sent by the Evil Emperor Immortal Lord to a certain place to prepare some pills. He didn’t reveal anything about the Punishment Realm. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust them, but he simply didn’t want to share his secrets with everyone.
After chatting for a while, Zhuo Feng and Yuan Yuan tactfully took their leave, leaving only Su Che and Fei Yun in the room.
“I have a gift for you.”
Smiling, Su Che took out a storage ring.

“A gift? What is it?” Fei Yun happily accepted the ring. As long as it was a gift from him, whatever it was, it would be a surprise.
As her mind delved deeper, she saw that inside the ring were hundreds of strange fruits that resembled infants.
“What is this?” Fei Yun asked curiously. “It seems like a kind of fruit, right?”
“Xianying Fruit.”
Su Che explained in detail, “It’s a fruit I created myself. It can be called a Xianying Fruit of the Profound Immortal level. You’re still at the Human Immortal stage. I estimate that by taking one every six months, these will be enough to help you reach the Heavenly Immortal level within a hundred years.”
“Reach the Heavenly Immortal level in a hundred years?”
Fei Yun immediately understood. “So that’s how you became a Profound Immortal so quickly—by using these fruits?”
“That’s right,” Su Che said with a smile. “These are the leftovers; they’re no longer effective for me.”
Su Che knew well that if he hadn’t said they were leftovers, Fei Yun would never have accepted them. She would surely have said, “Keep them for yourself; I don’t mind.”
Indeed, only after hearing that the Xianying Fruits were no longer useful for her did Fei Yun gladly accept the gift. However, it was obvious that she was only happy because of his thoughtfulness, and she wasn’t very concerned about how many years it would take to reach the Heavenly Immortal level.
For her, being able to see Su Che often was the most important thing. Once the store closed, she would have to return to his personal space. In that world free from risk and danger, what difference did it make between being a Human Immortal or a Heavenly Immortal?
Su Che shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself: Why are all the women I know so unmotivated?
“Why are you smiling?” Fei Yun asked, blinking curiously. “Your smile looks strange.”
“It is strange,” Su Che replied. “It’s strange that you’re not motivated to improve.”
“Whatever you say, it’s fine.”
Fei Yun’s eyes were filled with tenderness, like a pool of spring water about to overflow.
In his heart, Su Che had long admitted that Fei Yun was by far the most gentle, obedient woman he had ever known, yet also the most proactive and direct, constantly expressing all her deepest feelings through her gaze.
“Create another clone,” Lao He sighed. “I really can’t stand it anymore. If you’re heartless enough to abandon her, I’d even want to fight you.”
Su Che didn’t respond.
Having a clone marry a wife, claiming they’re all faithful—this practice isn’t only despicable but also hypocritical. Is that the purpose of the Great Clone Technique?

Su Che would rather let them all know, let them all understand that he is a womanizer, than live a life of deception and pretense. Besides, as a cultivator, what’s the harm if he has no women for a lifetime? To put it bluntly, it would be easy enough for him to transform into a more enchanting and beautiful woman than them. Su Che didn’t want to think too much about such things and decided to let nature take its course.

That night, Lan Ling arrived. Despite having advanced to the rank of Xuanxian and having a hundredfold enhancement, Su Che was still no match for Lan Ling, so in front of her, he still had to… well, just avoid angering her.

“Not bad. After several days apart, you’ve advanced to Xuanxian—you haven’t embarrassed me,” Lan Ling said as she circled Su Che.

“Nearly two hundred years—have you been in Haolan Continent the whole time?” Su Che asked casually.

“Of course. I was worried about you, my little man…” Lan Ling playfully lifted Su Che’s chin, only to have it slapped away by him.

Su Che thought to himself: Such a seductive woman could only be subdued if she advanced to the later stage of Jinxian, along with a hundredfold enhancement…

Lan Ling lowered her voice and asked softly, “The guy who kidnapped you is the Immortal Emperor, right?”

“The Evil Emperor Immortal Emperor,” Su Che nodded.

“Then tell me, did he figure out my true identity?” Lan Ling asked again.

“Definitely,” Su Che replied immediately. “With your limited skills, how could you fool an Immortal Emperor? Don’t even think about it! It’s only out of respect for me that he didn’t deal with you.”

“Yes.”

Lan Ling didn’t argue and nodded in agreement. “That’s why I was a bit scared after that. I didn’t dare leave Haolan Continent until you returned.”

“You don’t need to worry too much,” Su Che reassured her. “An ordinary Immortal Emperor can’t kill you. If you’re unlucky enough to be captured by one, just say you were created by me as the Origin Demon Emperor and are currently helping me with similar transformation experiments. The goal is to not only resist the corruption of the Origin Demon but also fundamentally transform the demon race… Well, that’s what you should say.”

“That sounds good…” Lan Ling narrowed her eyes and leaned in, whispering in Su Che’s ear, “Honestly tell me, do you really have such abilities?”

“If it weren’t to come up with an excuse for you, I wouldn’t have even thought of it before,” Su Che said truthfully.

“Then please really study it,” Lan Ling said. “I truly don’t want to be part of the demon race anymore. I want to become like you, able to live freely and openly in this world.”

“Okay.”
Su Che was quite agreeable: “To repay your help in protecting me before, I’ll also find a way to fulfill your wish.”
“That’s great. Truly my man.”
Lan Ling wrapped her arms around Su Che’s neck and wrapped her legs around his waist, as if filled with passion, her eyes glazed as she said, “Let’s go to bed!”
On the Star of the Beginning of the Immortal Prison, the seasons changed, the ice melted, and spring arrived…
