Chapter 91: A New Marriage Candidate Tao Yaoyao

After paying a considerable price, Mu Xiyao discovered a secluded cave residence that hadn’t been inhabited for ages.

The location was exceptional at least, her first impression was quite favorable.

After spending a large portion of her spirit stones, Mu Xiyao settled in.

But soon, she sensed something unusual about the cave.

Deep within, it felt as though something was calling to her.

Cradling her child, she followed her instincts and ventured inward.

Nothing seemed out of place, yet she clearly felt an extraordinary aura.

Sword intent!

As someone blessed with three top-tier innate talents, Mu Xiyao was especially sensitive to sword intent.

Within just a few breaths, she had already deduced the nature of the power.

Without further hesitation, she activated her own sword intent to initiate a connection.

Her fifth-layer peak sword intent was formidable.

Sensing her presence, the mysterious force began to awaken. Soon, a massive secret chamber opened before her leaving her stunned.

Previously, even her spiritual sense had detected nothing beyond solid walls.

Then it dawned on her.

This is a Cave Heaven realm!

Only a Cave Heaven could block spiritual sense and cause such disorientation.

With anticipation, she stepped inside with her child.

The sight that greeted her filled her with ecstatic joy.

She had stumbled upon the legacy of a Deification-level sword cultivator.

Not only did it contain a nine-layer sword intent inheritance, but also numerous imperial- and royal-grade sword techniques. Most precious of all was the insight of a Tongshen Realm swordmaster, a treasure beyond measure.

Below it all lay a pool of blood from a Swordfang Heavenly Beast, shimmering with spiritual energy.

“If I absorb this pool of spiritual blood, I might break through to the Cave Heaven Realm in a short time or even reach its peak!”

Mu Xiyao’s eyes sparkled with emotion and delight.

She hadn’t expected that a random cave would yield such a divine inheritance and a top-tier spiritual beast’s blood pool.

Looking at the little one in her arms, she couldn’t help but kiss the child gently.

Everything It’s all thanks to this little one’s good fortune.

The Xuanzhong Mountains sat at the junction of Tianluo Daozhou and three other provinces, a lawless zone teeming with powerful cultivators.

Even Starsea Realm and Yin-Yang Realm experts were common.

Occasionally, one might even encounter a Deification-level existence.

With her current Faxiang Realm cultivation, Mu Xiyao was far from safe.

So any boost in strength was a blessing.

Without hesitation, she entered the chamber and began her frenzied cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the Ye family…

Ye Wushang spent time with Zhao Qingge and named their child Ye Fengcang.

Soon after, Mo Sijun’s child was born as well.

[Congratulations, Host! Your twenty-third child has been born. Initiating aptitude scan…]

[Luck: Red Grade | Aptitude: Top-tier | Talent: Devouring Physique | Overall Rating: Supreme Prodigy!]

An excellent talent the Devouring Physique. If cultivated properly, its future potential was limitless.

It could absorb all forms of spiritual energy and convert them into nourishment, rapidly boosting strength.

[Congratulations, Host! A Supreme Prodigy has been born. You’ve received feedback rewards: 1 drop of True Dragon Blood, 9 Spirit Body Fragments, 3 Bloodline Fragments, 3 Royal-grade Techniques, +10% Family Resources, and 5 million Luck Points!]

The rewards were generous. Even one drop of True Dragon Blood was a valuable gain for Ye Wushang.

This child was a girl, and Ye Wushang had decided that all girls of this generation would be named starting with Ye Xi.

Thus, she was named Ye Xiyue.

After this birth, Ye Wushang reduced his childbearing pursuits.

With Yue Rushuang and Xia Zixuan entering closed-door cultivation, no one else was pregnant.

Ye Wushang didn’t mind and continued his own cultivation.

A year passed.

Stimulated by the True Dragon Blood, his Dragon Blood Pool surged with spiritual energy, pushing his cultivation to Cave Heaven Realm, Seventh Layer.

His strength skyrocketed.

One day, while cultivating, a clan disciple arrived with a report:

“Clan Head, someone from the Tianji Pavilion Headquarters of Tianluo Daozhou has come requesting an audience!”

Ye Wushang was visibly surprised.

He hadn’t expected to attract the attention of the Tianjin Pavilion’s headquarters let alone a personal visit.

Though the Ye family had gained momentum recently, relying solely on Ye Zhen to elevate them into a major force in Tianluo Daozhou was unrealistic.

Tianluo Daozhou was far more complex than outsiders imagined.

Even though Ye Zhen’s defeat of Dongfang Mingkong had shocked many, Ye Wushang knew the truth:

If it came to a real war, the Dongfang Clan could wipe out the Ye family with ease.

They simply didn’t want to risk a bloodbath over Dongfang Lu’s provocations.

In fact, many forces in Tianluo Daozhou, more than a hundred, could destroy the Ye family if they wished.

They simply didn’t want to pay the price.

In a life-or-death struggle, Ye Wushang would be the one seeking an escape route.

If the Dongfang Clan was a top-tier family, then the Tianji Pavilion was a colossal behemoth.

Even within Tianluo Daozhou, few could rival it.

And this was just the local branch, not the entire Eternal World.

The Pavilion’s true power was terrifying.

If it had been the Canglan Domain branch visiting, Ye Wushang wouldn’t be surprised.

But this was the headquarters.

Naturally, Ye Wushang wouldn’t act arrogant. In front of a force like Tianji Pavilion, even a prodigy was no different from a commoner.

Upon entering the reception hall, Ye Wushang heard a familiar system prompt.

[Ding! Marriage candidate detected. View profile?]

He paused, then looked ahead.

Seated in the first seat to the left was a woman.

Tall and curvaceous, every movement exuded charm.

Her eyes were seductive, her gaze filled with emotion.

Her swan-like neck was pristine and elegant.

Her attire was revealing, with a plunging neckline that drew the eye.

Even Ye Wushang couldn’t help but swallow and quickly avert his gaze.

Yet he instinctively activated his Eye of Destiny to scan her profile.

[Luck: Gold Grade | Cultivation: Starsea Realm, Fifth Layer | Aptitude: Peerless | Talent: ?? | Description: ??]

The double question marks stunned him.

His Eye of Destiny had failed.

Just then, the woman turned her gaze toward him.

Her peach blossom eyes met his.

Ye Wushang’s heart skipped a beat.

It felt like a reunion between long-lost lovers.

Her gaze seemed to pierce his soul.

Startled, he quickly withdrew his spiritual sense and guarded his mind.

She’s probing my fate!

That was his first thought and his wariness deepened.

This woman from the Tianji Pavilion headquarters was no ordinary figure.

“Clan Head Ye, I’ve long admired your name. I’m Tao Yaoyao. Three years ago, I took over the Tianluo Daozhou headquarters of Tianji Pavilion. Your legendary biography? I personally published it.”

Her voice was unlike that of ordinary women filled with allure, disarming those who heard it.

Ye Wushang was stunned.

A Starsea Realm cultivator had taken charge of a provincial headquarters?

Her talent, aptitude, capability, willpower, and background must be extraordinary.

In Tianji Pavilion, strength alone wasn’t enough.

Even Deification-level experts weren’t guaranteed leadership.

Only those with supreme mastery of Fate and Divination could rise.

Tao Yaoyao achieved this three years ago.

Ye Wushang was amazed—and increasingly cautious.

“So it’s Pavilion Master Tao. Forgive me for not welcoming you properly.”

After a brief greeting, Ye Wushang glanced at the two elders behind her—and was shocked.

Both were Deification-level, peak-stage cultivators.

Such an escort could walk unchallenged across Tianluo Daozhou.

“May I ask what brings Pavilion Master Tao here today?”

Ye Wushang preferred directness.

Tao Yaoyao smiled, her every gesture enchanting.

“Nothing major. I simply wanted to see the legendary Wushuang Marquis in person. And secondly, I’ve brought an invitation.”

“An invitation?”

Ye Wushang accepted the crystal-studded envelope and opened it.

[Tianluo Daozhou Wushuang Auction!]

His hand paused.

He looked at Tao Yaoyao, who explained:

“The Wushuang Auction is the first I’ve hosted since becoming a Pavilion Master. Since I dared to name it ‘Wushuang,’ I’m confident you’ll attend. Please, take a look.”

Ye Wushang looked down.

One by one, top-tier treasures appeared before his eyes.

Each item was enough to shake Tianluo Daozhou.

Even Ye Wushang’s pupils contracted slightly.
