SSS-Rank 10x Reward System: Accepting Disciples to Live Forever Chapter 222: It’s over

Wang Chen finally stopped.

By then, his fortune had grown threefold.

Before absorbing their luck, the fortune surrounding him had been modest at best, roughly the size of a large basketball. Now, however, it had expanded trendously.

It was as large as a small refrigerator.

And far brighter.

The golden radiance surrounding him was almost blinding.

The changes were imdiate.

They could be felt in real ti.

The most obvious transformation was the connection between Wang Chen and the heavens outside.

Previously, that connection had always felt distant and strained, as though the world itself rejected his existence. A subtle but persistent pressure had constantly followed him.

Now...

That resistance had weakened significantly.

The heavens no longer seed so hostile.

The chances of him suddenly encountering heavenly tribulations or inexplicable disasters had dropped drastically.

But that was not the only change.

With the strengthened connection ca a deeper link to the laws of the world themselves.

The feeling was almost intoxicating.

Even as he simply stood there breathing, Wang Chen could feel his understanding of reality deepening.

The mysteries of heaven and earth seed closer than ever.

Compared to him, the situation of Yang Kai and the All-Seeing Immortal looked far less pleasant.

Their faces had turned pale as paper.

The golden aura around their bodies had dimd considerably.

Yet despite the loss of their hard-earned fortune, a clear look of relief appeared in their eyes.

Relief.

Pure relief.

For a long ti, their hearts had been hanging in their throats.

Ever since Wang Chen had erased the ancient winged woman from existence, neither of them had dared move or speak recklessly.

Every passing second had felt unbearably heavy.

Death could descend at any mont.

After all, they had no idea what Wang Chen might do next.

Refine their souls.

Seal them away for eternity.

Or simply erase them from the world entirely.

In their eyes, Wang Chen was nothing less than an ancient monster with unfathomable power.

What such a being might do was beyond their imagination.

Now, although they had lost most of their accumulated luck, they were at least still alive.

And for the mont...

That was enough.

...

Wang Chen, of course, had no interest in their inner thoughts.

His attention had already shifted elsewhere.

His gaze moved toward Eternal Dream.

The mont she felt his casual glance fall upon her, Eternal Dream’s body stiffened.

Her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Badum.

Badum.

Even though Wang Chen had no idea what was running through her mind, he raised two fingers calmly.

Then he pointed toward Zi Han, the unconscious demon woman in the distance.

"Heal her."

His voice was quiet.

Then he continued, a wide smile appearing on his face.

"After that..."

"...hand over the treasures."

There was no anger in his tone.

No threat.

Just a simple instruction.

Yet Eternal Dream did not hesitate even for a single mont.

Without the slightest resistance—

She obeyed.

...

So ti later, at the Seven Cloud Convergence Point, the so-called center of the world.

Space twisted and folded like a curtain of flowing water.

From within that distortion, two figures stepped out one after the other.

The first was a strikingly handso young man with a relaxed, almost careless deanor.

The second was a woman whose beauty could only be described as otherworldly, like a celestial goddess descending into the mortal realm.

The mont Wang Chen stepped out, he imdiately scanned the surroundings.

Then he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

There was no one waiting outside.

The classic scenario where evil cultivators lurked outside inheritance grounds, waiting for the main character to erge with treasures, was far too common in the cultivation world.

Naturally, he had prepared himself for the possibility.

Fortunately...

This ti, nothing like that happened.

Not long after the two appeared, space rippled again.

Three more figures erged one after another.

All-Seeing Immortal.

Grand Formation Master Yang Kai.

And the core disciple of Sword Saint Heaven, Murong Shenchen.

Compared to the two Domain Sovereigns, Murong Shenchen appeared far less shaken.

He had just begun scanning the surroundings when he suddenly felt a gaze fall upon him.

Murong Shenchen stiffened instantly.

Wang Chen looked at him with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Little Shenchen," he said casually, "are you sure you don’t want to stop by this humble cultivator’s dojo for a cup of tea?"

The mont those words reached his ears, Murong Shenchen felt a cold chill crawl up his spine.

His expression stiffened.

He shook his head so quickly it almost blurred.

"Please forgive this junior, Senior," he replied hurriedly, bowing slightly.

"But I have received an urgent summons from the Upper Realm."

"I must return as soon as possible."

Wang Chen’s expression dimd slightly.

Still, he nodded.

"Hmm."

"Next ti, you must."

Murong Shenchen nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, of course!"

The mont the words left his mouth, he could no longer wait to leave.

In the blink of an eye, his figure transford into a streak of light and shot straight toward the heavens.

Wang Chen did not even bother glancing at the two Domain Sovereigns.

With the amount of luck he had just taken from them, their current situation was... unfortunate.

At this point, even breathing too loudly might invite disaster.

Honestly, the best thing they could do was live like ordinary mortals for a while.

Do so good deeds.

Let their fortune slowly recover.

Shaking his head inwardly in mild disappointnt, Wang Chen turned his attention to the two new items in his inventory.

The first was a golden box, glowing faintly with an ethereal radiance.

This was the final inheritance left behind by the dragon race.

The second item was a round white sphere.

Looking at the sphere again, Wang Chen’s eyes widened slightly.

Inside that tiny object...

A small realm was stored.

An entire world contained within a simple item.

He couldn’t help muttering inwardly.

Just how broken is this system...?

Yet strangely enough, from the mont they left the inheritance ground until now...

Wang Chen had carefully avoided looking in Zi Han’s direction.

Every ti he accidentally glanced toward her, a strange chill ran down his spine.

Especially when he noticed the way she was looking at him.

If he were honest, he really wanted to shout out loud:

Fellow Daoist Zi Han... what exactly has gotten into you?!

Ever since she awakened from the dream, sothing about the Demon Queen Zi Han had clearly changed.

She no longer felt as distant and untouchable as before.

There was sothing... softer about her now.

Sothing more human.

Unfortunately, Wang Chen had already established himself as a mysterious hidden monster in everyone’s eyes.

Breaking that persona now would be troubleso.

So he could only pretend nothing had happened.

Silently shaking his head, Wang Chen let out a small sigh.

In any case—

It was finally ti to return to the dojo.
