Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 502 Ling Chenyan, who has no fighting power?

If it's not a secret realm belonging to Thunder Valley, then wouldn't that mean he's made contact with something outside of Thunder Valley this time?

“That’s right. In fact, the secret space within Thunder Valley has been thoroughly explored over the years.”

"What other good secret realms are there for you?"

"So, the reason I need your help this time is because of this new secret realm."

At this moment, Ling Yanchen's expression suddenly became very solemn. She said in a deep voice, "Because that secret realm is not only dangerous, but also allows other people to enter in addition to the cultivators in Thunder Valley."

"There are others!?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed drastically again. He then stood up and said, "Miss Chenyan, why didn't your Tiancui Tower mention this before?"

"Furthermore, wasn't that secret realm created by you? Why were other cultivators able to enter? Were they cultivators from outside Thunder Valley?"

“Yes, outside!” Ling Chenyan nodded.

"So, that secret realm wasn't created by your Tiancui Tower? Then what lie is your Tiancui Tower telling us!" Gu Jiancheng spread his hands.

This will affect his future plans.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Who said it wasn't Tiancui Tower that was founded?"

"Moreover, there are indeed people from outside who can enter that secret realm, but they are also people from my Lingtian Sect!" Ling Chenyan spread her hands, looking helpless.

"You, a member of the Lingtian Sect..." In an instant, Gu Jiancheng realized that he had misunderstood.

Tiancui Tower belongs to Lingtian Sect, so it makes sense that Lingtian Sect cultivators can enter it.

"Yes."

"I discovered that secret realm, and later I used the power of the sect to initially open it up, so Lingtian Sect cultivators can also enter it."

"But I'm not willing to accept this. There are many factions in the Lingtian Sect. Why should they compete with me?"

“I don’t have many friends, and I don’t trust the people inside the Lingtian Sect. The cultivators in Thunder Valley have little contact with the outside world, so I feel more at ease with them in comparison.”

"I have the highest hopes for you and Hundred Flowers Valley. You yourself are quite capable, and you are not inferior even when facing the geniuses of Lingtian Sect."

"Stop!" Gu Jiancheng immediately stopped when he heard this.

“Miss Chenyan, look at me first. I am just a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator. Even if I won the championship in the Four Sects Competition, how could I possibly compete with the geniuses of your Lingtian Sect?”

"Aren't you overestimating me? I can live without the protection of a great magic weapon!"

Is Ling Chenyan planning to use herself as cannon fodder?

"Oh dear, what are you worried about?"

“Even outside, not everyone can have a Great Luo magic weapon. I am the daughter of the Lingtian Sect Master, so it’s not a problem for me to have more treasures, right?” Ling Chenyan spread her hands.

“That’s true.” Gu Jiancheng touched his nose, then added, “However, Miss Chenyan, you yourself are a Golden Immortal with formidable combat power, so you should be able to stand on your own.”

Why do you insist on my help?

This was also what Gu Jiancheng found most puzzling.

"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet!" Ling Chenyan pouted and said, "Although I am a Golden Immortal, my immortal root is purely supportive. I don't know or can't learn any killing techniques. I can only rely on magic treasures for protection."

"But there are many restricted areas in that secret realm where the power of magical artifacts cannot be used, so that's why..."

"So, Miss Chenyan actually wants me to be your bodyguard?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng finally understood.

Moreover, at this moment, Gu Jiancheng also used his Insightful Eyes to look at Ling Chenyan.

Sure enough, it was discovered that Ling Chenyan's immortal root was extremely rare, actually being a cloud of mist.

Although its rank has already reached the Great Luo level, it seems that it can continue to advance.

There was no sofa scent in its body.

So what she said is probably true; without the help of magical artifacts, her combat strength is very poor.

"Don't put it so harshly. We are friends and will be teammates."

"Although I lack the ability to kill, I can provide assistance. Moreover, I have a better understanding of that secret realm. If you wish to obtain any opportunities within it, wouldn't my help make things much easier?"

Ling Chenyan raised an eyebrow.

“What you said makes sense.” Gu Jiancheng scratched his head.

Now, he was indeed persuaded, and had no reason to refuse.

"This is right!"

Ling Chenyan smiled and then said, "Although there isn't much time left, I have a time flow speed of fifty times, so you can come in and cultivate with the geniuses of Hundred Flowers Valley."

"Thank you so much!"

Gu Jiancheng cupped his hands in greeting; time was what he needed most right now.

Therefore, after Gu Jiancheng came out, he called Ran Hongfu and the other two women in as well.

Upon discovering that this was actually the internal space of a time-manipulating artifact, the women were all filled with astonishment.

They naturally knew how precious time-related magical artifacts were, and a time flow rate of fifty times meant that even if this artifact wasn't a Grand Luo level artifact, it was at least a top-tier Golden Immortal level artifact.

They had never seen anything like it before.

"There is plenty of spiritual energy here. Before Tiancui Tower sends the magic array compass here, you should focus on your cultivation."

At this moment, Ling Chenyan got up and went back to her room.

"Senior Brother Gu, this Lord of Tiancui Pavilion is amazing!"

"Jian Cheng, what did she say to you? Beautiful women like that are the hardest to fathom. You mustn't be fooled!"

At this moment, Xue Qiangwei and Ran Hongfu also quickly came up to speak.

"Hehe, don't worry, the one who can fool me hasn't been born yet. Don't overthink it either. We're just cooperating. Let's focus on our cultivation and make the most of this time."

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and then casually found a bamboo hut to go into seclusion.

He needs to use this fifty times the time to successfully upgrade the Human Emperor Sword, at least before entering the secret realm.

As for cultivation level, whatever advancement we can achieve, that's what we'll do.

For the next few days, Gu Jiancheng remained oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on refining the Calamity-Destroying Thunder Crystal.

Finally, after six days in the outside world, the lightning crystal was fused into the three Emperor Swords.

At this point, the three Emperor Swords had completed their advancement.

Although the quality of a single Human Emperor Sword only reached the level of a half-step Golden Immortal.

However, when the three swords are combined, their quality is comparable to that of a Golden Immortal-level immortal sword, which should be enough for a period of time.

Gu Jiancheng's cultivation level had also reached the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Although the progress was not significant, it still consumed a considerable amount of Ling Chenyan's resources.

Gu Jiancheng also cultivated the Myriad Immortal Seal to the minor completion stage.

Although the Celestial Body Technique is still far from being able to create clones, Gu Jiancheng has basically comprehended the technique and only needs to gather all the necessary materials.

At this time, the array compass of Tiancui Tower was also delivered to Baihua Valley.

When Gu Jiancheng came out of seclusion and stepped out of his room, he saw the three women, Ran Hongfu and Ling Chenyan, fishing by the river.

Um! ?

Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng was immediately puzzled.

When did these four girls start hanging out together?!
