4. Master, You've Got It All Wrong

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Preeminent Strength Experience Card, an Ancestral Symbol Collection Book, and a Disguiser's Robe.

Preeminent Strength Experience Card: When used, the host can temporarily gain the strength of the Samsara Realm for 10 minutes.

Ancestral Talisman Collection Book: Collect all eight ancestral symbols from the Tianxuan Continent to receive a mysterious reward.

Disguiser's Robe: Allows the user to disguise as anyone for one hour, but it only works on those with lower strength than the user.

...

Looking at the rewards from the lottery, Chen Xuan was satisfied.

The Preeminent Strength Experience Card could grant him the power of the Samsara Realm for 10 minutes, which—even though brief—was enough to serve as his most powerful life-saving tool.

However, what pleased him the most was the Disguiser's Robe, which allowed him to impersonate anyone. This gave him a new plan for his revenge on Lin Dong!

His gaze shifted, and he noticed that his Emotion Points had increased from a few hundred to 3,869. However, he was still a long way from the 5,000 points needed to upgrade the system store.

At the current Yellow Rank Store, he could only purchase advanced martial arts. He needed to upgrade to the Mysterious Rank Store to access creation-level techniques and earth-tier spiritual treasures.

Chen Xuan's eyes landed on the Lucky Wheel. Each spin required 100 Emotion Points, but it had the potential to grant top-tier treasures like Pure Elemental Treasures and heavenly-level martial arts.

Even though the chances were low, Chen Xuan decided to take a gamble.

"System, spin the wheel!"

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,000 Pure Yuan Pills.

"What? I'm already at the Nirvana Realm, what use are Pure Yuan Pills to me?"

Unfazed, Chen Xuan continued, "System, spin again!"

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Pure Elemental Treasure: Tetanus Blade.

"What? The Tetanus Blade? A Pure Elemental Treasure?"

"One cut for tetanus, two cuts and you're dead?" Chen Xuan, seeing that he had acquired a Pure Elemental Treasure, decided to stop spinning the wheel.

In the system's rewards page, a sword with rusty textures and an aura of decay appeared. It had no vitality.

He checked the blade's properties and found that his assumptions were correct. Anyone cut by the Tetanus Blade would suffer a severe drop in strength, with their soul wounded. In the worst cases, the incurable rot would consume their body, leading to a painful death.

With this sword, Chen Xuan felt he had a greater chance of winning future battles!

Later, Chen Xuan returned to his room and cultivated overnight.

The next morning, he made his way to the courtyard of the palace master of the Nine Heavens Purity Palace.

At the palace gates stood a middle-aged woman and a stunning young woman.

The middle-aged woman was none other than the current palace master of Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, a powerhouse of the Samsara Realm, and one of the strongest figures in the entire Eastern Xuan Continent.

At that moment, the palace master, with a gentle expression, gazed fondly at Chen Xuan as he approached.

As a master, the thing she was most proud of in her life was accepting Chen Xuan as her disciple and arranging his marriage with her beloved disciple Qingzhu, ensuring a secure future for Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace

"Disciple Chen Xuan greets Master," Chen Xuan bowed respectfully, and after a brief hesitation, he added, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

"Xuan'er, congratulations! So young, and already you've reached the Nirvana Realm," the palace master easily discerned his strength.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Without you, I wouldn't have achieved this," Chen Xuan responded with customary politeness.

The palace master nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "What brings you here today? Are you facing any issues in your cultivation?"

At this moment, the palace master was unaware of what had transpired between Qingzhu and Chen Xuan during her trip to the Great Yan Empire. Qingzhu hadn't told her either.

As he looked at Qingzhu, Chen Xuan noticed a trace of surprise in her eyes, likely not expecting that he would actually come to speak with their master.

Chen Xuan respectfully said, "Master, I have something I need your judgment on."

"Oh? What is it?"

"My fate with Senior Sister Qingzhu has come to an end. I respectfully ask for your permission to annul our marriage."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the system's notifications rang out.

Ding! Qingzhu has experienced panic. Emotion Points +50.

Ding! Shen Qing has experienced shock. Emotion Points +50.

Shen Qing, the palace master, was stunned by Chen Xuan's words.

She knew how much Chen Xuan adored Qingzhu. When she announced the marriage, even though the two couldn't consummate it for a while, Chen Xuan had been elated for a long time.

But now, after only a year of marriage, he wanted a divorce?

As she considered this, a flicker of anger appeared on Shen Qing's face.

Could it be that he couldn't bear the loneliness and, after being denied consummation, he came to ask for a divorce?

Noticing her change in expression, Chen Xuan realized through the system's prompt that she was starting to get angry.

Ding! Shen Qing has experienced anger. Emotion Points +100.

Was she thinking that he had grown tired of Qingzhu and was now seeking a new love? Did she even believe that he had tried to force himself on Qingzhu, and that's why he wanted the divorce?

If that were the case, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Just then, Qingzhu interjected, "Junior Brother, are you abandoning me now that you've had your way with me?"

She played the role of the victim flawlessly.

Ding! Qingzhu has experienced grievance. Emotion Points +50.

Chen Xuan was completely stunned.

What was going on?

Had she been possessed?

The original Qingzhu from the novel wasn't this manipulative!

Sure enough, upon hearing Ling Qingzhu's words, Shen Qing was briefly stunned before turning to Qingzhu, looking incredulous. "Qingzhu, what did you just say?"

"Nothing..." Ling Qingzhu hesitated.

Shen Qing pressed her, "Speak!"

With a surge of acting prowess, Ling Qingzhu bit her lip and whispered, "Master, I've... lost my innocence."

"What?!"

Piecing together what Ling Qingzhu had said, Shen Qing immediately assumed that Chen Xuan was the one responsible.

A terrifying aura erupted from her body.

Ding! Shen Qing has experienced rage. Emotion Points +999.

From the sky-high rage points, it was clear she was now furious beyond measure.

Chen Xuan could feel the killing intent radiating from her.

In the next second, Shen Qing's voice boomed, "Chen Xuan! Have you forgotten what I told you? Qingzhu cannot consummate your marriage before completing her Supreme Sense cultivation!"

"Master, you've misunderstood. I wasn't the one who took Senior Sister Qingzhu's innocence," Chen Xuan quickly clarified.

"What? If not you, then who?"

Shen Qing's brow furrowed.

Chen Xuan replied, "It wasn't me, Master. It was someone else, but only Senior Sister Qingzhu knows who."

Ding! Ling Qingzhu has experienced panic, anger, and shame. Emotion Points +199.
