An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 211

Zhan Qiuyun’s voice was cold and detached. The oppressive might of her Void Refinement Realm peak cultivation spread across the entire valley. Having witnessed the fate of the earlier Soul Transformation cultivator, no one else dared to speak a word.

The Solar Star Core radiated intense heat and stellar energy. Neither storage spaces nor a cultivator’s physical body could directly accommodate it. Otherwise, Sage Blackheart would have already taken it away earlier.

Zhan Qiuyun formed hand seals, and white strands of true qi coalesced into a rune formation that enveloped the Solar Star Core.  The golden light was temporarily concealed as layer upon layer of formations sealed it.

The crowd of cultivators watching from the sidelines could only sigh in frustration as they saw the Solar Star Core fall into Zhan Qiuyun’s hands.

Yet, no one dared to act rashly. All they could do was silently hope their sect’s Void Refinement Realm experts would arrive soon.

“What a dense concentration of solar and stellar energy!”

“Coming here as a guardian elder, I didn’t expect such a delightful surprise!”

The joy in Zhan Qiuyun’s beautiful eyes was unmistakable.

The Solar Star Core, a fragment of a shattered sun’s core, contained the purest solar energy.

If it were absorbed by Yang Chen’s Solar Divine Physique, it could transform into an immense source of vital energy.

This would, in turn, accelerate the complete evolution of her Dark Moon Physique into the Holy Moon Physique—an achievement that could occur in mere days.

For this reason, she had to obtain it. Holding the Solar Star Core in her hand, Zhan Qiuyun turned to Yang Chen and shouted: “What are you still standing there for? Hurry and follow me!”

Yang Chen snapped back to his senses and quickly led Chu Xi and Xiao Dong to Zhan Qiuyun’s side.

Zhan Qiuyun took out a jade platform and infused it with true qi.

Buzz—!

A brilliant light flared up, accompanied by a wave of spatial qi.

The space around them fell silent once more, and the group appeared atop a mountain peak.

Chu Xi and Xiao Dong, clearly experiencing spatial transference for the first time, clutched their heads, their faces filled with dizziness. Yang Chen raised his head to look at the sky. The heavens here were a clear, vivid blue, devoid of any sign of meteors.

It was obvious they were no longer in the Falling Star Mountains.

Judging by the distance, they must have traveled quite far from it.

In fact, the spatial transference had likely moved them hundreds of thousands of miles.

“Martial Aunt, you’ve already obtained the Solar Star Core. Was it really necessary to flee so far? Wasn’t that a bit excessive?” Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

Zhan Qiuyun rolled her eyes at him.

“This is the Solar Star Core! In terms of value, it’s no less significant than a sacred artifact! Once news of it spreads, countless cultivators will scramble to fight for it! There are numerous fire-element cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm across the Central Continent who would covet it! Even within the Falling Star Mountains, there are six or seven Void Refinement late-stage or peak cultivators stationed there!

“I already sensed their auras rapidly approaching our position earlier. If we’d stayed and let them entangle us, it would’ve been nearly impossible to escape! And by then, could we still have kept the Solar Star Core?”

“Ah, that makes sense!” Yang Chen nodded in agreement.

This beautiful woman certainly acted decisively. When it was time to kill, she killed without hesitation. And when it was time to flee, she fled without delay. Without the slightest hesitation.

She was indeed a formidable figure.

At this moment, Zhan Qiuyun turned her head and looked toward Xiao Dong in the distance. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

“Why did you bring that useless thing here?”

She had been too focused on activating the spatial platform earlier to notice that Yang Chen had brought along Xiao Dong, whom she regarded as nothing but a waste.

“Martial Aunt, after all, Xiao Dong is still your disciple and also my little brother-in-law! In such a chaotic situation, leaving him behind would’ve been akin to sentencing him to death!” Yang Chen explained earnestly.

Of course, he had his own plans for bringing Xiao Dong along.

“Tch!” Zhan Qiuyun curled her lips in disdain.

She didn’t bother saying anything more. An ant was still just an ant. If he followed along, so be it.

Zhan Qiuyun glanced around briefly, then summoned a compass. Instantly, runes appeared, forming a seal that enveloped the entire mountain peak.

“Yang Chen, the Solar Star Core contains the purest solar energy. This is an incredible opportunity for you! If you absorb this solar energy, your strength will skyrocket!” Zhan Qiuyun said to Yang Chen.

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

“This is probably an even greater opportunity for you, Martial Aunt!” He was well aware of Zhan Qiuyun’s intentions.

She simply wanted him to absorb the solar energy, transform it into vital energy, and then provide it for her to absorb.

“Hmph, you little rascal!” Zhan Qiuyun snorted softly but didn’t bother denying it.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, she carved out a cave dwelling in the mountain.

“Since you understand, stop wasting time and come inside with me! This time, I intend to transform fully into the Holy Moon Physique, break through the Void Refinement Realm, and step into the Dao Integration Realm!”

After speaking, Zhan Qiuyun walked straight into the newly created cave dwelling. At the entrance, she set up a simple formation.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but touch his waist nervously.

Zhan Qiuyun planned to achieve the Holy Moon Physique and ascend to the Dao Integration Realm in one go?

How much vital energy was that going to require from him?

He glanced at the beautiful yet domineering woman ahead of him and muttered inwardly, this stunning Martial Aunt better not drain me dry.
