Chapter 5: The Appearance of the Divine Temple, Rewards Once More

Chen Daoxuan, who had just been about to console Leng Yanran after her breakthrough, was startled by her exclamation.

"What's wrong? Did something go wrong during your cultivation?"

Chen Daoxuan paid no attention to the impurities that emerged from Leng Yanran's pores during her cultivation. He quickly placed a hand on her shoulder and asked with concern. Within the range of this divine temple, he was confident he could handle anything, even if Leng Yanran encountered any cultivation deviation.

"No, it's not, Master… I just suddenly found a sticky layer of impurity on my body and felt it was impolite in front of Master."

Leng Yanran felt the sudden concern from her master and couldn't help but lower her head to whisper softly. Especially when her master didn't mind the layer of impurity on her, she couldn't help but be moved.

Feeling the warmth of her master's palm and recalling the treasures and techniques he had given her earlier, Leng Yanran made up her mind to repay her master properly in the future.

"Oh, I see. You gave me quite a scare. These impurities were discharged by the Bone-washing Pill you took earlier. Go wash up in the hall."

Chen Daoxuan smiled faintly, withdrew his hand, and said as he turned back, shouldering the big hall again.

"The hall?"

Upon hearing her master's words, Leng Yanran was a bit puzzled. This place was surrounded by wilderness and mountains. Where was the hall?

"I seem to have forgotten."

Chen Daoxuan turned his head to look at the direction of the great hall, but there was nothing there. He couldn't help but slap his forehead.

Earlier, when he heard the system prompt, he came here immediately, and he inadvertently hid the hall to prevent anyone from being frightened by its appearance and backing away. He didn't want the geniuses to be scared off, as that would be a huge loss!

Now that his disciple had been received, there was no need to continue hiding the hall. With a slight gesture towards the empty space, a magnificent hall rose with a rumbling sound!

This hall seemed to have existed since ancient times, exuding an air of antiquity with its intricate patterns. On the plaque, the power of three thousand great daos seemed to converge, forming the two words "Heavenly Dao."

Leng Yanran was immediately captivated by the plaque, her whole body falling into a trance. It was as if her soul was sucked into it, freely swimming within the ocean of three thousand great daos, losing herself completely.

"Snap out of it!"

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly and then gave a light shout.

Hearing her master's voice, Leng Yanran shuddered suddenly, snapping back to her senses. Her body was already covered in stickiness and impurities, and now she was sweating even more!

"Disciple is incompetent, thank you, Master, for helping me!"

Having regained her senses, Leng Yanran bowed in shame to her master, but her heart was even more astonished!

Just a glance at the plaque had made her lose all self-awareness, as if she had been drawn into a world of the Great Dao's principles! The hall where her master resided was already terrifying, so what kind of existence was her master?

This hall was named after the Heavenly Dao itself. What kind of confidence did that imply? In this world, everything had to follow the Heavenly Dao's rules. Even cultivators had to comply with it; going against it was a dead end!

To bear the name of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn't that provoke the wrath of the heavens? Could it be... her master was already an existence that feared no retribution from the heavens!?

Leng Yanran dared not think further and could only convince herself forcibly that the hall must have some special formation to possess such power. Otherwise, she couldn't fathom why such a terrifying existence would take her as a disciple.

"It's alright. Keep this jade pendant safe. From now on, you can freely observe the Heavenly Dao plaque. It contains the essence of the Great Dao. If you can comprehend even a little, it would be a significant opportunity for you."

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand slightly, showing no blame towards her. Then, he conjured a jade pendant, carved with the character "Leng," clearly prepared specifically for Leng Yanran.

With this jade pendant, she could move freely within the divine temple without any danger.

"Thank you, Master!"

Leng Yanran bowed deeply, intending to take the jade pendant in her hands.

Chen Daoxuan was slightly taken aback. In his view, there was no need for such formalities and burdensome etiquette between a master and disciple. He then casually conjured a string and didn't place the jade pendant in her hands, but instead gently put it around her fair neck.

"Between you and me as master and disciple, there's no need for excessive formalities. I've put the jade pendant on you. Go to the main hall and choose a room you like. First, clean yourself up."

Chen Daoxuan spoke softly and then turned to leave.

"Thank you... Master!"

Feeling her master's long and slender fingers inadvertently touch her neck, Leng Yanran blushed instantly. She stammered a thank you and quickly turned to enter the main hall.

Although she had been admired and pursued by countless geniuses and even senior experts over the years, she had never had any intimate contact with a man before.

Once inside the main hall, Leng Yanran chose a nearby side hall. She found that it was fully equipped with various facilities, including a wooden tub filled with steamy hot water, which had just been prepared for her.

"Master even prepared all these for me…"

Leng Yanran lightly bit her cherry lips as her eyes shimmered with delight. However, the sticky feeling on her body made her very uncomfortable. She didn't waste any time and immediately discarded the dress that was stained with blood, proceeding to take a bath.

After several days of non-stop pursuit, Leng Yanran was already mentally exhausted. Feeling the warmth enveloping her body, she couldn't help but drift into a deep slumber.

Outside the main hall, Chen Daoxuan focused on studying his own system.

After accepting Leng Yanran as his disciple, the range of his unbeatable divine temple had increased from the previous five kilometers to the current fifty kilometers. Although it was a tenfold increase, its usefulness was limited within the Void Void Mountain Range, where savage beasts roamed, and encounters with other cultivators were rare.

However, he remained undaunted. As long as he persisted, there would come a day when his range could envelop the heavens. Perhaps even before that day arrived, he might no longer need to rely on the invincibility of the divine temple!

During Leng Yanran's breakthrough just now, he had received a new reward from the system. At that time, he didn't have the chance to read it carefully before her.New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

[Ding, under the host's tutelage, the senior disciple Leng Yanran has comprehended the first volume of the Chaos Devil Art, broke through to the Profound Realm. Rewards: 150 years of cultivation, 150 points, complete mastery of the Chaos Devil Art.]

Seeing this message, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but feel excited. He had been worrying about finding a suitable cultivation technique for himself, but it seemed that it was unnecessary now. As long as his disciples cultivated, he, as their master, only needed to lie down... no, I mean, take good care of his disciples!
