Chapter 1784 shows remarkable results.
As dawn broke, the steam rising from the hot spring villa fell on Mingchuan's face.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body.
It's not just a recovery; it's even more refined and concentrated than before the injury.
The "Myriad Transformations Return to One" technique operated autonomously, completely refining and fusing the pure Yin energy absorbed during the dual cultivation last night, which originated from the special physiques of the three women, with the spiritual energy of the hot spring.
Within his dantian, the silver talisman representing the laws of space had mostly healed its cracks, its surface radiating a warm and vibrant luster, with a glittering silver light pulsating faintly at its core, as if it were nurturing a new transformation.
To his even greater surprise, the wounds to his soul had healed by 70-80%. Not only had the range and sensitivity of his divine sense been restored, but it seemed that he had also benefited from the misfortune. After experiencing severe injury and deep dual cultivation, his soul had become more resilient and well-rounded.
"This effect..." Mingchuan looked inward at himself, feeling both surprised and delighted. "It's more effective than any elixir. Could it be because the three of them have special constitutions and have all cultivated the basic chapter of the 'Return to One' technique,' making them complementary to me?"
He looked down at the three women who were still fast asleep in his arms.
They possess three different powers, yet they share the same origin and complement each other. Within his body, they perfectly merged through the "Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique," producing unexpected and miraculous effects.
“It seems that in the future…” Mingchuan couldn’t help but smile, “we need to communicate more.”
Just then, Ran Qianqian in his arms trembled her eyelashes and opened her eyes groggily.
Eyes facing each other.
Ran Qianqian was initially bewildered, but then she recalled everything that had happened last night, and her pretty face flushed red. Like a startled rabbit, she quickly shrank into the water, leaving only half of her face showing, her eyes wide open: "You...you're awake?"
Her movement startled Leng Xi and Dong Chuyan awake.
Leng Xi opened her eyes, a rare hint of embarrassment flashing across her usually cool face, but she quickly regained her composure, though her ears turned slightly red. She silently got up and went to retrieve her clothes from the shore.
Dong Chuyan was so embarrassed that she curled up, her cheeks flushed, and dared not look at Mingchuan.
The atmosphere in the hot spring pool became somewhat subtle for a moment.
Mingchuan coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence: "Um... thank you so much for your selfless help, my three wives. I feel much better now."
Ran Qianqian emerged from the water and splashed him with water: "Pah! Who risked their life to help you! We were just... we were just making sure you were resting! And... we were just cultivating ourselves!"
"Yes, yes, yes, cultivation, cultivation." Mingchuan readily agreed, reached out and pulled her over, kissing her forehead. "The effect is remarkable. You can do this kind of cultivation more often in the future."
"Dream on!" Ran Qianqian punched him lightly, but the force was weak.
After the four of them finished packing, they returned to the Hanging Palace.
Mingchuan looked refreshed and walked with a steady gait. There was a faint flow of spiritual energy around him, and anyone could see that his injuries had greatly improved.
Ah Xiong was squatting at the palace entrance, munching on a spirit fruit. When he saw Ming Chuan, his eyes lit up: "Brother Ming! You look... radiant! Did you sleep well last night?"
He winked and made faces, looking mischievous.
Mingchuan slapped him on the back of the head: "Stop talking nonsense. Where's Jinman?"
"Sister Jinman is at the Observatory. She said she detected some activity in the direction of the Holy Domain." Ah Xiong rubbed his head, his expression becoming serious.
Mingchuan nodded and strode towards the Observatory Platform.
On the platform, Jinman was intently watching the central sky screen.
The scene depicts the Cloud Ascension Platform, located at the border between the Spirit Realm and the Holy Realm.
It was a huge white jade platform suspended in the void between the two realms. At this moment, many Saint Realm cultivators were busy setting it up, and the light of the array was faintly visible.
"Is something wrong?" Mingchuan walked to her side.
Jin Man glanced back at him, snorted, and said sarcastically, "Oh, the sect leader is recovering much faster than expected."
Mingchuan coughed. "Let's get down to business."
Jinman rolled her eyes: "There is indeed something unusual. Starting yesterday evening, small flying boats have been arriving at Dengyuntai from the direction of the Holy Domain, transporting supplies and setting up formations. Judging from the formation patterns, it doesn't seem to be a simple gathering place, but more like... a composite formation that combines large-scale teleportation and confinement."
She brought up a zoomed-in view and pointed to several key points: "Here, and here, there are hidden variant runes of soul-locking and directional attraction within the patterns. If they are secretly activated during the conference, in conjunction with some kind of catalyst, they could very well affect the souls of cultivators within a specific range without their knowledge, and even... leave a mark."
Mingchuan's eyes turned cold: "As expected, they have ill intentions. Are they planning to make a move directly at the exchange meeting?"
“It might not be a direct, forced branding,” Jinman analyzed. “It’s more likely that a trigger is planted, and then the selected person is brought into the Holy Domain before being activated and controlled. This is more covert and avoids the risk of openly breaking ties in the Spirit Domain.”
"A clever scheme." Mingchuan sneered. "How are the preparations for the gathering of the four sect leaders in ten days coming along?"
“Invitations have been sent, and all four sect leaders have replied and will attend on time,” Jin Man said. “In addition, the investigation into the whereabouts of past talents of the Holy Domain has yielded some results.”
She took out a jade slip: "In the past hundred years, the Holy Domain has taken away no fewer than three hundred so-called talents from the Spirit Domain under various pretexts. Of these, seventy percent disappeared without a trace after entering the Holy Domain, as if they had vanished into thin air. Of the remaining thirty percent, news occasionally came back, but they were mostly in marginal, dangerous, or arduous positions, making slow progress in cultivation, and keeping secrets about the affairs of the Holy Domain. Not a single one was truly given important responsibilities and returned in glory."
Mingchuan took the jade slip and scanned each name and brief information with his divine sense, his eyes growing colder.
"vanished into thin air... Hmph, they've probably become cultivation resources or test subjects for some powerful figures in the Holy Domain." He closed the jade slip. "Organize this information and show it to the four sect leaders in ten days."
Over the next ten days, Mingchuan continued to consolidate his recovered cultivation, attempting to regain a deeper understanding of spatial power, while also handling sect affairs and preparing for his meeting with the four sect leaders.
Several messages came from Jizhou regarding the Qingyuan Sect: the reform was progressing smoothly, Su Hao and Luo Yang were gaining prestige, and the disciples were cultivating diligently. Although there were still criticisms from the outside world, the internal cohesion was very strong.
However, Jizhou also mentioned that unidentified individuals had indeed contacted several former direct disciples who were dissatisfied with the current situation, but the other party was very vigilant and the source could not be traced.
Mingchuan replied with only four words: "Let's wait and see."
Ten days later, guests gathered at the Hanging Hall of Wanchuan Sect.
Sect Leader Ye of Qingfeng Yumen arrived with Ye Chuhan and Ye Jingjing.
Lin, the sect leader of Zixiao Jingyuan, accompanied Lin Ruowei. Mu Yaoyao from the Butian Shengjiao followed beside him with a slightly awkward expression. Chu Huai from Xuantianmen followed behind his sect leader and greeted Mingchuan with a cupped-hand salute.
With the four sect leaders gathered together, along with a host of high-ranking members of the Wan Chuan Sect, this was arguably the highest-level informal alliance in the Spirit Realm in hundreds of years.
