Chapter 1038 1038 The Secret
Three months later, Jun Xiaoyao finally emerged from the inner chambers.
Three months of grueling, sunless toil had finally come to an end.
Jun Xiaoyao let out a sigh of relief.
The problem of the five foxes had been resolved at last.
But what he didn't yet know was that the five foxes had already set their sights on him for good.
Whoosh!
A fragrant breeze swept past, and a voluptuous, breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared before Jun Xiaoyao.
It was none other than the Tushan Noble Consort.
"Son-in-law, how are you feeling?" the Tushan Noble Consort asked with great curiosity.
A full three months had passed, and even she had grown a little impatient waiting.
"Exhausted."
Jun Xiaoyao let out that single word with quiet simplicity.
Three full months spent in deep contemplation, refining the Dream of Passion Immortal Scripture — how could he not be exhausted?
"You've really worked hard, son-in-law. The workload was indeed enormous."
Thinking of her five daughters, fierce and ravenous as wolves, even the Tushan Noble Consort couldn't help but show a flicker of apology on her face.
Just look at what they'd put him through.
"That's for sure. After all, I was at it day and night without a single moment's rest." Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
"How could it come to that — did they not even give you time to rest?" The Tushan Noble Consort's red lips parted slightly, a look of astonishment crossing her face.
Her five daughters had really gone too far.
Not even a moment's rest for the man.
"There was no way to rest. If I stopped, everything would've been for nothing." Jun Xiaoyao said in a serious tone.
When refining an immortal scripture, any interruption — let alone a complete break — would make it far more difficult to pick up where one left off.
"For nothing — you mean…" The Tushan Noble Consort was puzzled.
"Mission accomplished. There are results." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Three months had been enough to complete the refinement of the Dream of Passion Immortal Scripture.
"What? Results already — it's only been three months?" The Tushan Noble Consort was utterly stunned.
Could a pregnancy really happen that fast?
"Of course. Once the five of them come out, they can tell you themselves, Senior Noble Consort." Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
All five Tushan beauties had cultivated the refined version of the scripture without any issues whatsoever.
"I… I need a moment to collect myself."
The Tushan Noble Consort pressed a jade hand to her forehead, feeling as though none of this was real.
Was she really going to become a grandmother this soon?
Her son-in-law's aim was a little too precise.
Before long, all five beauties — Tushan Yueyue and the others — emerged from the inner chambers.
The Tushan Noble Consort swept forward, her gaze fixed intently on her five daughters, her concern tinged with a hint of reproach.
"You girls, honestly — couldn't you have let him rest properly?"
"There are oxen that work themselves to death, but fields that never wear out."
"And another thing — are you really pregnant?"
Hearing the Tushan Noble Consort's words, all five beauties were completely dumbfounded.
They slowly produced a collective "?"
"Grandchildren — am I going to be holding grandchildren?" the Tushan Noble Consort asked urgently.
These would be grandchildren carrying the bloodline of the Chaos Constitution — of course she was eager.
At that, the five beauties suddenly understood, their cheeks flushing red as fire.
"Mother, what on earth are you talking about?!"
All five were at a loss for words.
They then proceeded to explain everything.
The Tushan Noble Consort froze, and in an instant her own face turned just as red.
She had made a complete fool of herself — a total misunderstanding from start to finish.
She and Jun Xiaoyao had been talking completely past each other.
During those three months, Jun Xiaoyao had never once laid a hand on any of the five beauties.
He had only given a slight push when visualizing the Dream of Passion Immortal Scripture.
A push, but not a complete one.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao also handed the refined version of the Dream of Passion Immortal Scripture over to the Tushan Noble Consort.
The Tushan Noble Consort was instantly struck with awe.
"How is this possible — there are actually changes like this?" The Tushan Noble Consort was completely stunned.
Was this something a supreme being could actually accomplish?
Her son-in-law was truly a figure of divine caliber.
"With this refined Dream of Passion Immortal Scripture, I believe the Tushan Imperial Clan will be able to break free from the shackles of their cultivation method and achieve true freedom." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
"This is a matter of great importance. I must report it to the King." The Tushan Noble Consort's expression turned solemn as she produced a jade slip and began transmitting a message.
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes quietly dimmed.
The King the Tushan Noble Consort spoke of was most likely the Immortal King of the Tushan Imperial Clan.
Jun Xiaoyao had been farsighted enough not to tamper with the immortal scripture — otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict.
Immortal Kings did not all reside within their ancestral grounds.
Most of the time they dwelled in various blessed cave heavens.
Even clan members would not ordinarily disturb them lightly.
But this matter was of such great consequence that the Tushan Noble Consort had no choice but to report it.
It didn't take long.
Suddenly, a red thread descended from the void and wound itself around Jun Xiaoyao's wrist.
Witnessing this, both the Tushan Noble Consort and the five beauties were shocked, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's…"
At that moment, from within the void, a voice — alluring yet carrying a cool detachment — resonated in Jun Xiaoyao's ears.
"Young friend, this matter is considered a debt of gratitude that our Tushan owes you."
"Should you encounter any trouble in the future, pull this red thread, and I will unconditionally aid you once."
"We pay our respects to the King!"
The Tushan Noble Consort and the five beauties, upon hearing that voice, all knelt down.
This was the voice of their Tushan Imperial Clan's Immortal King — the Nine-Tailed King, Daji.
Daji possessed the supreme Nine-Tailed Sacred Fox bloodline and was the very pillar of the Tushan Imperial Clan.
Previously, even when the Ten-Tailed World-Destroying Black Fox had appeared, the Nine-Tailed King Daji had shown no reaction whatsoever.
Yet now, she had been moved by Jun Xiaoyao's refined immortal scripture, and had even pledged a personal favor.
For an outsider who was not of the fox clan, this was an honor of the absolute highest order.
"Thank you, Senior Nine-Tailed King." Jun Xiaoyao cupped his hands slightly toward the void.
Three months of hard work, exchanged for the goodwill of an Immortal King and the promise of one intervention.
An absolute windfall!
For Jun Xiaoyao, this was a deal with boundless returns on a minimal investment.
Though thinking about it, it made sense — Jun Xiaoyao's refined immortal scripture had far too great an impact on the Tushan Imperial Clan.
It neither required the Tushan Imperial Clan to abandon the Dream of Passion Immortal Scripture, nor helped them break free from its shackles.
It was entirely natural that Jun Xiaoyao would receive such treatment.
"The young master is truly the young master — wherever he goes, he manages to pull off something earth-shattering."
The gazes of the five beauties grew even more radiant than before.
They were now feeling a little regretful about letting Jun Xiaoyao leave the inner chambers.
The red thread on Jun Xiaoyao's wrist faded from sight for the time being.
Jun Xiaoyao had a feeling that this red thread would prove to be of great help to him in the days ahead.
The matter of the Tushan Imperial Clan had come to a close for now.
"Ladies, I still have things to attend to and must return to the War God Academy. Let us meet again another day." Jun Xiaoyao cupped his hands slightly toward the five beauties.
Refined and gracious, a true gentleman.
Though Chun Chun, Wan Wan, and the others were reluctant, they couldn't very well keep Jun Xiaoyao here by force.
"We'll be returning to the War God Academy as well." Tushan Wanwan said.
"We'll come find you when we do." Tushan Yueyue said with a sweet smile.
They had no intention of giving up their pursuit of Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao departed from the Tushan Imperial Clan.
The moment he appeared, all manner of clamor erupted from the outside world.
"He's finally out — a full three months!"
"And it wasn't just one, but five — how hard must it have been to satisfy all of them."
"Incredible, a true role model for us all!"
"We should build a temple for the War God. Before every bedroom endeavor, we should bow to him first."
Faced with the uproar all around him, Jun Xiaoyao was mildly taken aback.
He hadn't expected so many spectators to have gathered.
Though they had clearly all misunderstood.
When Jun Xiaoyao got serious, three years would be perfectly normal.
"Your Highness, the First King — you've made your servant wait so terribly long!"
A voice rang out, soft and melodious as the song of an oriole.
A fragrant breeze swept in, and Shenle — enchanting beyond measure — was already nestled at Jun Xiaoyao's side.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao, who had just stepped out of a tender haven only to be ensnared by another beauty,
every last spectator had only one word in their hearts.
Damn!
Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression calm.
He still had many questions he needed to ask Shenle.
He was going to uncover the secret of the Six World-Destroying Kings!
