Marrying Wives and Attaining Immortality in a Chaotic World

Chapter 273: Transfer

Time passed day by day.

It had to be admitted that the Goddess of Nine Heavens possessed an exceptionally high talent for cultivation, and her comprehension was equally remarkable. Gradually, a faint golden light began to emanate from the surface of her body. At the same time, the golden light on Xu Lian’s body diminished bit by bit. As if it was being peeled away layer by layer, it was slowly being pulled out by her.

This made Xu Lian sigh with emotion. Compared to the Goddess of Nine Heavens, the Old Vine Demon of Skyfall Forest was nothing. The Old Vine Demon had been observing the laws of the divine realm for a long time, but had gained nothing, while the Goddess of Nine Heavens had already achieved visible results.

It wouldn’t be long before the divine laws that had been bestowed upon him would be completely drawn away by the Goddess of Nine Heavens and become her own.

Just as Xu Lian had predicted, in just over half a year, the golden light on his body had completely disappeared, while the Goddess of Nine Heavens now shone with a radiant golden glow, every strand of her hair emitting a golden light.

“Ke ke ke, ke ke ke ke!”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens burst out laughing.

She laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back. “The laws of the divine realm – I’ve finally mastered them!

A few uncles whose cultivation is close to the peak level, and a few senior brothers whose cultivation is also nearing the peak level-what right do you have to compete with me for control of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands?

And Goddess of Time, O, from now on, you’ll have to call me, the Goddess of Nine Heavens, your senior sister!”

“…” Xu Lian’s eyes widened in shock.

As he watched the Goddess of Nine Heavens’s stunningly beautiful face twist into a somewhat maniacal smile, a chill ran down his spine, spreading throughout his entire body, leaving him feeling icy cold.

The Goddess of Nine Heavens in this state truly scared him.

Now that the divine laws had been completely transferred to the Goddess of Nine Heavens, he no longer had the protection of the divine laws. If the Goddess of Nine Heavens wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping her hand over.

“It has been many years since I last felt that my life was not in my own hands, ever since I gained the Divine Laws.”

Xu Lian silently prayed that the Goddess of Nine Heavens wouldn’t develop the desire to kill him.

After a while, the Goddess of Nine Heavens finally calmed down from her excitement and looked at him with a half-smile. “Nine Heavens Holy Son, Xu Lian, the first requirement was for me to prepare the Root of Passage for you, and the second was for you to give me the Divine Laws. Now that we’ve completed the first and second requirements, is the next step for me to become your dao companion and complete the third requirement?”

Xu Lian groaned inwardly. With his life now in her hands, he couldn’t afford to be stubborn and could only force a smile on his face. “I was just speaking casually earlier. Holy Maiden, you don’t need to take it seriously. Matters of Dao companions should be based on mutual willingness.”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens chuckled. “Are you sure we don’t need to take the third step?”

Xu Lian shook his head. “No need.”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens smiled brightly. “I am a person who keeps my promises. If you had asked me to fulfill my promise, I would have immediately become your Dao Companion and truly made you my partner. I didn’t force you to give up.”

Xu Lian hesitated for a moment, then swallowed hard. “You didn’t force me. The third step really doesn’t need to be taken. I give up voluntarily.”

Nothing was more important than his own life. This was a lesson he had deeply learned back in Green Bamboo Town.

The Goddess of Nine Heavens’ smile faded, replaced by a cold expression. “Since you don’t want to be my Dao companion, why did you act so inappropriately with me? How am I supposed to find a Dao Companion in the future?”

Women are really fickle… Xu Lian thought bitterly. When the Goddess of Nine Heavens wanted his divine laws, she had been completely obedient, tolerating all his advances. But now that she had obtained the divine laws, she no longer valued him.

Xu Lian smiled cautiously. “In this small world, there’s no one but you and me. As long as neither of us speaks about it, no one will know. We can just pretend that it never happened”.

The Goddess of Nine Heavens’ beautiful eyes turned sharp as knives. “Why go to all this trouble? Wouldn’t it be better just to kill you?”

Xu Lian’s scalp prickled. “Killing me would damage the sisterly bond between you and O… How about not killing me?”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens said indifferently, “As you said, there’s no one else here but you and me. If I kill you, no one will know that it was me.”

Xu Lian tried to reason with her. “You’ve mastered the divine laws, and sooner or later you’ll have to use them. You can’t keep them hidden forever. Once you use them, O will know that the divine laws are with you, and she’ll know that you killed me. Wouldn’t that expose you?”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re pretty smart, aren’t you?”

Xu Lian heaved a sigh of relief. From her reaction, it seemed that she hadn’t truly intended to kill him.

He quickly seized the opportunity. “Now that I’ve reached the Unity Realm, I’m considered to be a powerful expert. When you take control of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, you’ll need some trusted subordinates, right? I’m willing to follow you, Holy Maiden, and serve you faithfully!”

The Goddess of the Nine Heavens pondered for a moment. “What you say makes sense. Fine, I won’t kill you. Work hard on your cultivation. When you reach the Sage Realm one day, I might even consider making you my Dao Companion.”

Xu Lian immediately bowed his head and cupped his hands. “Understood. I will strive to be worthy of being your Dao Companion.”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens raised her jade-like hands, forming a secret seal and muttered an obscure incantation. “My clan’s secret realm has opened. You may leave now.”

Xu Lian bowed once more before stepping through space and leaving.

He returned to the ancestral lands of the Divine Clan.

Only then did he finally relax, realizing that he had broken out in a cold sweat. The pressure from the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, whose cultivation was close to the quasi-supreme level, had been overwhelming. Once again, he had truly experienced the feeling of his life being out of his control.

Suddenly, the world spun around him.

He found himself deep within a dense fog, standing by a lakeside.

The Goddess of Time looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Where have you been for the last year or so? I tried to contact you, but you didn’t respond. What happened to the divine laws on your body? Have you comprehended them, or were they taken away from you?”

Xu Lian explained how he had been captured and imprisoned by the Goddess of Nine Heavens.

The Goddess of Time listened quietly, her brows furrowed. “I’ll go find her!”

Xu Lian felt a warmth in his heart. O was truly good to him. “Maybe we should let it go. After all, she’s your junior sister, not an outsider. If she has the divine laws, it might not be a bad thing. Once she takes control of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, she might even allocate more cultivation resources to me”.

The Goddess of Time said, “I’m not going to retrieve the divine laws for you. I’m going to capture her and make her your dao companion. Since she made a promise to exchange the divine laws with you, she must fulfill that promise.”

Xu Lian nearly choked. O, you’re truly devious, aren’t you?

“Forget it. A forced relationship isn’t sweet.”

Xu Lian smiled. “When my cultivation reaches a sufficient level, I’ll make her willingly become my Dao Companion.”

The Goddess of Time looked at him. “You have lost the divine laws. Aren’t you the least bit upset?”

Xu Lian was full of confidence – confidence in his ability to improve. “With me, I am invincible. Any laws are just icing on the cake.”

The Goddess of Time’s beautiful eyes lingered on him, slightly dazed. “It is good that you have such an attitude. Laws are indeed only powerful external tools. In the end, what cultivators truly cultivate is themselves.”

At that moment, a golden light suddenly began to emanate from Xu Lian’s body. At first, it was just a few strands, but soon more and more appeared, until his entire body was bathed in a radiant golden glow. Every inch of his skin, every strand of his hair shone with golden light!

The divine laws had returned to him…

Xu Lian was stunned.

The Goddess of Time was also taken aback, then she seemed to realize something. “The Divine Laws are truly mysterious. Once they’ve chosen you, they will return to you even if someone else takes them.”

Xu Lian couldn’t help but laugh. He wondered how the Goddess of Nine Heavens would react now. She had tried to steal the chicken but ended up losing the rice. Not only had she allowed him to take advantage of her, but she had also given him three hundred and ten Roots of Passage. She had truly lost on all fronts.

In the mysterious little world.

“Don’t go! Don’t go!”

The Goddess of Nine Heavens let out a series of screams.

She reached out her hands, trying to grasp the golden light, but it was futile. The golden light slipped like sand through her fingers.

In the end, she collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained. Her beautiful eyes turned red, and she bit her lip, letting out a furious roar, “Xu Lian, I’m not done with you!”
