Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan Chapter 5 - Ling Xiyue’s Secret, Completing a Major Life Eve

Chapter 5: Ling Xiyue’s Secret, Completing a Major Life Event, and a Generous Gift Package!

The Lingyun Dynasty, the palace of the fifth princess, Ling Xiyue. Dressed in a moon-white long gown, Ling Xiyue was instructing a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old standing beside her.

This young man was none other than her younger brother, Ling Tianxing.

“Tianxing, after I marry into the Lu Royal Mansion, you’ll be the only one left in the palace. In the future, always think thrice before acting. As for the position of crown prince, your older brothers are all restless and eager to claim it. You must never harbor any thoughts about the throne, or with our current influence in the palace, we won’t stand a chance against them.

“As long as you quietly build your own forces in the shadows and openly abandon the competition for the crown prince position, even if chaos erupts in the palace, you’ll surely have the strength to protect yourself.”

Ling Tianxing listened earnestly to Ling Xiyue’s advice, nodding repeatedly.

“Sis, don’t worry, I’ll act cautiously in the palace.”

At this point, a look of reluctance appeared on his face.

“Sis, are you really willing to get married? I don’t even know why Father insists on marrying you off to the new lord of the Lu Royal Mansion. Could it be that Father has once again listened to so nonsense from that old guy at the Star-Plucking Tower?”

By the end, Ling Tianxing’s expression shifted to one of resentnt.

Ling Xiyue sighed softly, “The royal family has invested so many cultivation resources in before. Now, it’s ti for to contribute sothing to the royal family.”

“But the Lu Royal Mansion is declining day by day. If you marry into it, won’t you …”

Before Ling Tianxing could finish, Ling Xiyue interrupted, “Don’t worry. Although the Lu Royal Mansion isn’t as powerful as it once was, it’s still not to be underestimated. As a princess of the dynasty, marrying into it ans I certainly won’t face any grievances. Besides, if I can integrate well into the Lu Royal Mansion and gain the support of its lord, it’ll benefit you too. Moreover, I no longer want to stay in the royal palace. Father’s decision to arrange this marriage actually suits just fine.”

She wasn’t lying when she said this. Ever since she went from being a prodigy to a cultivation cripple, those who once admired her now looked at her with strange eyes. If it weren’t for her younger brother, whose foundation in the palace was still weak, she would have left the royal palace long ago.

After giving her brother a few more instructions, Ling Tianxing left her palace. Watching her brother’s figure disappear, Ling Xiyue finally withdrew her gaze, a trace of worry in her expression.

“I don’t know how much more spiritual energy that mark in my body will absorb before it stops hindering my breakthrough to the Spiritual Pill Realm!”

In truth, ever since she went from a cultivation genius to a cripple, a mark had appeared in her body—one that no one else could detect. It was because of this mark, constantly devouring the spiritual energy she cultivated, that she had been unable to break through to the Spiritual Pill Realm.

Over the years, she had consulted countless ancient texts but still had no idea what this mark was. She had originally thought that as long as she refined enough resources, she could achieve a breakthrough. But over the years, no matter how many resources she consud or how much spiritual energy she refined, it would all be swallowed up by that black-hole-like mark, leaving her utterly speechless.

…

Ti passed, and the day arrived for the Lu Royal Mansion to wed the fifth princess of the Lingyun Dynasty.

Today, the Lu Royal Mansion was adorned with festive lanterns and decorations, and the clansn’s faces were filled with joy. Even the newly renovated Zhenhai City was bustling with excitent, with many cultivators gathered outside the Lu Royal Mansion, eager to witness this grand event.

Several families and forces on good terms with the Lu Royal Mansion arrived bearing congratulatory gifts.

Not long after, a massive wedding ship approached from the distance and slowly landed outside the Lu Royal Mansion.

Ling Xiyue, adorned in a phoenix crown and ceremonial robes with a red veil over her head, was escorted by a group of royal personnel and welcod into the Lu Royal Mansion by Lu Qingxuan.

“I never expected the Lingyun royal family to send three Soul Palace Realm elders, along with nurous Spiritual Pill Realm experts behind them. It seems the royal family doesn’t look down on the current Lu Royal Mansion at all—they’ve even sent so many powerhouses to bolster its prestige!”

The observing cultivators were astonished at the lineup sent by the royal family. At the sa ti, those forces that had been plotting against the Lu Royal Mansion no longer dared to act rashly.

After entering the mansion, with nurous guests and clansn as witnesses, Lu Qingxuan and Ling Xiyue smoothly completed the wedding ceremony, officially becoming husband and wife.

It wasn’t until evening, after seeing off the guests, that Lu Qingxuan entered the bridal chamber.

In the bridal chamber, the candlelight flickered, warm and gentle. Lu Qingxuan walked up to Ling Xiyue and lifted the red veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.

Ling Xiyue’s black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her neck was slender and elegant, and her red lips shimred with an enticing glow. Under the warm, flickering lamplight, she exuded an additional charm, stunningly captivating.

At the sa ti, Ling Xiyue’s information appeared in Lu Qingxuan’s eyes.

[Na: Ling Xiyue]

[Cultivation: Purple Mansion Realm Ninth Layer]

[Aptitude: Genius]

[Comprehension: Prodigy]

[Talent: Exquisite Divine Physique (Yet to Awaken)]

[Destiny: Reincarnation of a Destined Empress. Three years ago, an Exquisite Dao Mark awakened in her Physique, causing her cultivation to regress. It requires absorbing a certain amount of pure Yang energy for the mark to gradually transform into the origin of the Exquisite Divine Physique, fully activating it!]

“The Exquisite Divine Physique—a high-tier divine physique!” Lu Qingxuan thought to himself.

It requires pure Yang energy to awaken the Exquisite Divine Physique?

At this realization, a glint of curiosity flashed in Lu Qingxuan’s eyes. The conditions for awakening this physique were rather unique! As a vigorous young man, didn’t he possess that very pure Yang energy?

Seeing Lu Qingxuan staring at her, a faint, charming blush suddenly spread across Ling Xiyue’s jade-like cheeks.

“My Lord!” Ling Xiyue’s red lips parted slightly, pulling Lu Qingxuan back from his thoughts.

“Um … Xiyue, let’s drink the nuptial wine first!” With that, Lu Qingxuan poured the spiritual wine from the jade table and handed a cup to Ling Xiyue.

“Clink!”

With the soft clink of their wine cups, both downed the spiritual wine in one gulp.

“Xiyue, it’s ti for us to rest!”

Hearing this, Ling Xiyue’s already flushed cheeks turned even redder, her eyes shimring like water, radiant and enchanting.

Pfft!

With a light flick of Lu Qingxuan’s finger, all the candles extinguished.

The room was instantly filled with the ambiance of spring. It wasn’t until the sun was high in the sky the next day that Lu Qingxuan erged from the bridal chamber. He stretched his tired body, and at that mont, a system voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a major life event. The host is rewarded with a grand gift package. Would you like to open it now?]

Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes lit up. “Open it imdiately!”

[Ding, gift package opening …]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the supre technique Purple Purity Saintly Tyrant Scripture, one low-grade Heaven-grade spiritual vein, 50,000 top-grade spirit stones, two random Heaven-grade techniques and two martial skills, a map to the Canglan Purple Gold ore vein, five top-grade Earth-tier treasures, and three pots of Minor Nirvana Marrow-Cleansing Pills!]

[Ding! Randomly generated Heaven-grade techniques: Congratulations on obtaining the mid-grade Heaven-grade technique Mysterious Frost Ice Art and the low-grade Heaven-grade technique Blazing Yang Breaking Origin Technique.]

[Ding! Randomly generated Heaven-grade martial skills: Congratulations on obtaining the mid-grade Heaven-grade martial skill Lesser Five Elents Grappling Hand and the low-grade Heaven-grade martial skill Great Sleeve Ocean Technique.]

[Purple Purity Saintly Tyrant Scripture: A supre ancient scripture for cultivating both techniques and physique, the best technique to pair with the Tyrannical Heaven Physique. It is divided into twelve layers, also known as twelve realms. When cultivated to perfection, twelve rings of divine light will encircle the body, with boundless vitality and eternal endurance. Note: Requires a cultivator to reach the Spiritual Pill Realm to practice!]

[Low-grade Heaven-grade spiritual vein: A single vein can sustain the cultivation energy needs of one Divine Union Realm cultivator, ten Soul Palace Realm cultivators, or a hundred Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators!]

[Minor Nirvana Marrow-Cleansing Pills: Top-grade Earth-tier pills. Cultivators under the age of twenty who have not yet reached the Divine Ability Realm can consu these pills to cleanse their marrow and slightly enhance their aptitude!]

Seeing such generous rewards, Lu Qingxuan couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

The lowest-tier resources were Earth-tier, which, for the current Lu Royal Mansion, were already considered valuable treasures.

Especially notable was the technique for cultivating both techniques and physique tailored to his Tyrannical Heaven Physique—not only refining energy but also strengthening the Physique. Such techniques were extrely rare.

Not to ntion the Lingyun Dynasty didn’t have them, Lu Qingxuan felt that even the holy lands might not possess such a technique. If this technique were to leak out, it would surely spark a bloodbath!

After briefly reviewing the technique, Lu Qingxuan couldn’t help but marvel at its profundity.

“Not bad. This technique can serve as my next cultivation thod.”

Lu Qingxuan decided that once he broke through to the Spiritual Pill Realm, he would switch to this technique for cultivation.

Practicing such a supre technique suited to his physique would undoubtedly greatly accelerate his cultivation speed.

After reviewing the rewards, Lu Qingxuan imdiately headed toward the center of the royal mansion.
