Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple - Chapter 154: Auto-Cultivation

Illusory Void Mountain.

A spatial fissure materialized out of thin air. As Chen Daoxuan and the others emerged steadily before the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, the void closed behind them.

“Ah, this familiar feeling is the most comfortable,” Chen Daoxuan rejoiced, feeling that he had once again returned to an omnipotent state.

By his side, Leng Yanran heard her Master’s words and blinked slightly. She felt a moment of self-blame. It was all because she was too useless, causing her Master to personally make a trip down the mountain again.

Judging from her Master’s appearance, he seemed to have grown weary of the worldly affairs and preferred the tranquility of the mountain.

“You two have also exerted yourselves. You should go and freshen up,” Chen Daoxuan glanced at his two disciples and casually remarked.

“Master, aren’t you going to take a bath?”

Leng Yanran didn’t agree this time. She wanted her Master to bathe first.

“Master, it’s not good to skip baths, you know!”

Even Li Yourong heard her senior sister’s words and quickly agreed.

“…Fine, the two of you should rest first,” Chen Daoxuan’s lips twitched. He didn’t reject their proposal and walked into the main hall, heading directly for the Spirit Pool Hall.

Seeing this, Yu Youwei went straight to the Enlightenment Vine Chair and fell asleep.

“Yourong, I should first return to my room to digest the gains from this trip. You should also rest in your room.”

Leng Yanran casually instructed Li Yourong before entering the main hall and returning to her own room. Once inside the room, Leng Yanran locked the door from the inside and set up two formations with her hands. Lying on her bed, she took out her Master’s clothes…

…

Inside the Spirit Pool Hall, Chen Daoxuan soaked in the appropriately warm spirit fluid. He began to examine the gains from this trip.

“System, open the panel.”

[Host: Chen Daoxuan]

[Faction: Heavenly Dao Pavilion]

[Race: Human Race]

[Special Constitution: Hongmeng Primordial Dao Body]

[Cultivation Techniques: Chaos Heavenly Demon Scripture (Perfected), Chaos Holy Dragon Art (Perfected)]

[Innate Potential: Hongmeng]

[Realm: First Layer of Profound Sky Realm]

[System Points: 7,943,000]

[Disciples: Leng Yanran (First Layer of Unity Realm), Li Yourong (Seventh Layer of Profound Sky Realm)]

“Over seven million system points… Tsk tsk. It’s almost enough to directly break through to the Annihilation Realm! However, the further I go, the more system points are required for a breakthrough. By then, won’t I have to kill Immortals just to accumulate enough points for a breakthrough?”

Chen Daoxuan looked at the massive sum of over seven million system points he possessed and couldn’t help but sigh at how difficult it was to break through.

[Ding, host’s accumulated system points have exceeded one million, and the auto-cultivation function can now be activated.]

“Oh? Auto-cultivation function?”

[After activating the auto-cultivation function, as long as the host is within the pavilion’s range, a certain number of system points will be consumed daily to achieve ten times the cultivation effect.]

[Different levels can be selected: daily consumption of 10,000, 100,000, or 1 million system points, corresponding to daily gains of 100,000 years, 1 million years, or 10 million years of cultivation.]

[Please host, choose whether to activate, and if so, select the level.]

Looking at the introduction of this new function, Chen Daoxuan’s eyes lit up. While this function might not provide rapid cultivation improvement through direct conversion of system points, the tenfold returns were truly remarkable!

Originally, ten thousand system points could only yield ten thousand years of cultivation. If he were to enable this auto-cultivation, he would gain a hundred thousand years of cultivation each day!

With his current seven million system points, activating auto-cultivation would equate to seventy million years of growth in his cultivation. This would be enough to break through to the Annihilation Realm and even approach the Boundless Realm!

However, the consumption of this function was indeed immense. It required a minimum daily consumption of ten thousand system points, which explained why the system hadn’t informed him about it earlier. Based on his previous holdings of system points, he wouldn’t have been able to sustain it.

As for why this auto-cultivation could only be effective within the range of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, Chen Daoxuan could vaguely guess the reason.

Every time he used system points to break through, he required a massive amount of spiritual energy. Without the ability to generate spiritual energy out of thin air within the temple’s range, he might have ended up draining the entire world of its spiritual energy!

“Activate it. Let’s start with the level that consumes ten thousand system points per day,” Chen Daoxuan contemplated.

At his current Profound Sky Realm, breaking through each layer required a hundred thousand years of cultivation. With the ten-thousand-point setting, he could achieve one layer of breakthrough every day.

Furthermore, he still had the heavenly materials and treasures he had gained from this trip that he hadn’t exchanged yet, not to mention the heavenly materials and treasures from the Eastern Region that the people from the Holy Mountain hadn’t delivered.

Once he exchanged everything, his system points were expected to reach a staggering ten million! By then, he could activate the one-hundred-thousand-point setting, gaining one million years of cultivation daily, and easily transition into the Boundless Realm!

[The auto-cultivation function has been activated for the host, at the ten-thousand-point level, providing a daily automatic gain of a hundred thousand years of cultivation.]

As the system prompt sounded, Chen Daoxuan suddenly felt his body continuously absorbing a vast amount of spiritual energy. It automatically circulated within him for cultivation.

However, even so, it didn’t trigger any abnormalities. The spiritual energy seemed to be born directly on his skin and was incorporated into his body without causing any cultivation disturbances. Otherwise, practicing in this Illusory Void Mountain would likely disrupt its peace.

“Tsk tsk, not bad. Finally, I see some hope of breaking through to the Immortal Realm,”

Chen Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction. He had soaked in the bath for quite a while, and now he got up and approached the clothes rack. He casually grabbed a set of clean clothes, leaving the ones he had worn aside.

Originally, he possessed the Hongmeng Body, the most extraordinary and purest body that defied the heavens. Not to mention worldly dust, even the most profound karmic hindrances couldn’t taint him in the least. The bath was purely for relaxation and not for cleansing.

Once dressed, Chen Daoxuan leisurely exited the Spirit Pool Hall. Just as he stepped out, he noticed Leng Yanran gently pushing open the door of her room, holding his clothes in her arms.

“Mas… Master?”

Feeling his gaze, Leng Yanran turned her head and saw her Master standing at the entrance of the Spirit Pool Hall, smiling lightly as he nodded at her. She felt somewhat flustered and stammered a greeting.

“Hehe, it’s alright. Your Master is aware.”

Seeing his disciple’s flustered appearance, Chen Daoxuan chuckled softly again. He was already aware of Leng Yanran helping him with his laundry; he had known about it before. He didn’t expect her to be so cautious, though.

“Ah!? Mas… Master…”

Hearing that her Master was aware, Leng Yanran’s face turned red from her neck to her ears. She struggled for a moment but couldn’t utter a complete sentence. She buried her head even deeper, avoiding eye contact with her Master.

“Very considerate. You’ve always made sure the clothes I change out of are cleaned and neatly placed back. By the way, what kind of fragrance do you use? It’s quite pleasant.”

Although somewhat puzzled by her actions, Chen Daoxuan casually inquired. He had noticed a faint fragrance on the clothes Leng Yanran washed, which intrigued him.

“Ah? Oh, um, Yanran uses a special kind of fragrance. If Master likes it, then that’s great! All of this is something disciple should do!”
