Chapter 572: Chapter 566: Yao Yue is Astonished [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

Yao Yue was stunned for a moment.

Sha Chen’s words and conditions were impossible for her to refuse.

If she didn’t intervene then, given Sha Chen’s strength, he truly could destroy Kunlun Mountain.

At that point, it would be an outcome she wouldn’t want to see.

But if she took action personally, she could hold off the people of Kunlun Mountain and prevent Sha Chen from taking action himself.

Yao Yue said, "If they do something to wrong you then, would you forgive them?"

Sha Chen said, "I would not."

Forgive them after they had wronged him? He was not that magnanimous.

Yao Yue grew anxious and said, "Then, then, what will you..."

Sha Chen said, "Just make sure they do not wrong me. Whether you can manage that depends on your ability."

He grinned and said, "With your current strength, if you face a major attack from Kunlun Mountain, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold them off."

Yao Yue’s gaze turned grave. She understood the meaning behind Sha Chen’s words: if her strength wasn’t up to par and she failed to stop them, he would go on a killing spree.

She immediately knelt down and said, "Great deity, I accept your conditions. Please take me in."

Sha Chen said, "This isn’t a condition, but a suggestion. Whether or not you follow it doesn’t affect me much, because if you can’t confront Kunlun Mountain, I will personally take action and kill them."

Yao Yue’s expression was solemn. She hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to submit to Sha Chen’s tutelage.

Sha Chen, naturally, would not refuse the allegiance of such a powerful individual; she was a truly formidable expert he could count on.

Previously, there were the San Xiao sisters, but they were from the Sect of Interpretation, and since they were sworn siblings, Sha Chen couldn’t casually order them around.

Now they weren’t by his side, so their usefulness to Sha Chen could be significant or minor.

Next was the Golden Winged Dapeng. His strength was modest, and for Sha Chen at his current stage, the Dapeng was merely a tool for gathering resources.

Then there was the Nine-winged Mosquito Man, who was undoubtedly mighty, his power vast enough to shake heaven and earth.

However, the Nine-winged Mosquito Man was too cunning and slippery, never truly loyal to Sha Chen, nor would he sincerely work for him.

Even if he sincerely wanted to work, Sha Chen wouldn’t genuinely trust him.

Ultimately, it was the scheming nature of old monsters like the Nine-winged Mosquito Man that failed to earn Sha Chen’s trust.

Further down the line was Siti, who was now as skittish as a frightened bird, not worth mentioning. Hiding in the Flowing Sand River Cave, she was less useful than a tree.

She was of minimal assistance to Sha Chen.

Recently, he had subdued Yang Jian, who could play some role, but Yang Jian’s strength was, after all, insufficient, merely at the Intermediate Stage of Semi-saint.

To cultivate to the High-rank Quasi Saint would not be straightforward.

Even Sha Chen felt that if Yang Jian engaged in arduous cultivation here for hundreds or even thousands of years, he might not break through.

He must venture out, face more hardships, and gain more resources—preferably enough legacy resources.

Otherwise, even if Yang Jian comprehended the Three Pure Ones Taoism and understood various Divine Powers, it would be of no use. He fundamentally wouldn’t be able to help Sha Chen against some formidable enemies.

Yang Jian’s strength must reach the High-rank Quasi Saint level to help Sha Chen fend off some true powerhouses.

Otherwise, he would be insufficient for major confrontations.

However, Sha Chen still had great trust in Yang Jian, believing that he could certainly break through to the High-rank Quasi Saint level, and that it would happen in the near future.

But that was a story for another time.

Now, a powerful, highly skilled beauty at the High-rank Quasi Saint stage was offering her allegiance—one who was also somewhat straightforward, without twists and turns.

Moreover, this great beauty could advance further, with the opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Sage Peak, becoming one of the most powerful beings in this world, besides Saints.

Sha Chen naturally desired this more than anything.

What’s more, bringing Yao Yue under his command would not only enhance Sha Chen’s strength but also grant him rewards from the system, enabling him to improve his own power as well.

However, to ensure his safety, Sha Chen still wanted to set three rules with Yao Yue and sign some agreements to prevent her from turning against him and causing him harm later on.

Yao Yue made a vow, promising not to betray Sha Chen, and then joined his ranks, becoming a named disciple under Sha Chen.

Sha Chen didn’t take her on as his personal disciple, not out of disdain, but because he planned to test Yao Yue. Also, he wanted to give her something to look forward to when she formally became a disciple.

Yao Yue didn’t care about the distinction between personal disciples and named disciples. As long as her strength and capabilities were sufficient, she wouldn’t mind even if she wasn’t Sha Chen’s disciple.

After all, learning the skills was what mattered.

Next, Sha Chen meticulously checked every part of Yao Yue’s body to confirm she hadn’t tried any tricks and wasn’t carrying anything that could pose a threat to him before allowing her into the Flowing Sand River Cave.

The gates of the cave opened.

Yao Yue entered with a flush on her face, still thinking about how peculiar Sha Chen was for requiring a physical examination before entering.

She had never been treated so frivolously in her life.

However, once she entered the gates of the cave and saw everything inside, she forgot all the unpleasantness.

Yao Yue was stunned.

Previously, she had only been able to see parts of the cave within a radius of about ten yards from where Sha Chen stood.

Now that she had entered and could see the whole picture, she was utterly bewildered. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It was indeed as the Queen of the West had said: Sha Chen possessed many elixirs and immortal herbs, as well as several Innate Spiritual Roots.

Peach trees, ginseng fruit trees, osmanthus trees, Primordial Willow Trees, phoenix trees, Bodhi Trees, and countless Innate Spiritual Roots, elixirs, and immortal herbs dazzled the eye.

Incredible.

HISS.

There were both Innate Earth and Post-Heaven Earth, and the areas were so vast that just a single plot, if taken out, would be enough to make people fight to the death over it.

She had underestimated the preciousness of the Innate Earth. For a piece of it, Immortal Taiyi of the Qingwei Sect had almost risked half his sect.

He even planned to continue collaborating with Sha Chen, offering half of the Qingwei Sect’s income to Sha Chen in hopes of obtaining more Innate Earth.

Yet all their efforts and sacrifices were just for one piece of Innate Earth.

But here, Sha Chen had thousands upon thousands of plots.

Others used them to grow elixirs, but Sha Chen had filled his with first-class Immortal Elixirs—which could be deemed an utter waste.

However, Yao Yue was also dumbfounded by the sheer quantity and variety of the first-class Immortal Elixirs in Sha Chen’s possession.

The accumulated elixirs and immortal herbs of Kunlun Mountain, known as the foremost medicinal mountain under heaven, were but trifling in comparison to Sha Chen’s collection.

No wonder everyone said Sha Chen’s place was a blessed immortal land—they all wanted to set foot within and uncover its secrets.

Could it be that those who followed Sha Chen grew strong because of these elixirs and immortal herbs!? Yes, and no. Not entirely.

Yao Yue also saw piles of Magical Tools, all famous and coveted by countless people outside.

But here, they were discarded like garbage.

She saw Sha Chen using the Giant Que Sword as a door beam, fanning flames with the Plantain Fan, and utilizing various Magical Tools in everyday life.

These items were meant for battle.

Using them as household objects was indeed unprecedented.

Yao Yue entered.

She saw Siti and Yang Jian, as well as Chang E and the Three Holy Mother, among others. Although somewhat shocked, she also found it to be expected.

But what shocked her most was Yang Jian. Just a few months ago when they parted, Yang Jian’s injuries had fully recovered, and his aura seemed even stronger.

At this level of cultivation, further advancement was not easy.

In just a few months, Yang Jian’s strength had increased so rapidly.
