My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Would you believe me if I said I was an angel who fell from heaven?"

Li Chen raised his hands, his face full of sincerity.

He swore that this was absolutely the most heartfelt and least confident thing he had ever said in both his lives combined.

The spacious bathtub was filled with steam.

The air seemed to solidify into a tangible form at that moment.

The woman beneath him stared intently at the naked stranger who had fallen from the sky.

Her eyes, which were originally as clear as autumn water, were quickly replaced by an uncontrollable, earth-shattering rage, replacing the initial astonishment and shock.

An unnatural crimson blush instantly crept up her fair neck and exquisite face.

"Shameless!"

A clear, cold shout, tinged with endless shame and indignation, resounded loudly in the spacious bathroom.

Followed by.

An exceptionally violent and bone-chillingly cold spiritual energy erupted from the woman's body without reservation.

This spiritual energy was not only pure, but also carried a special chill that seemed to freeze the soul.

If it were Li Chen at his peak.

He didn't even need to lift his eyelids to shatter ice-type spiritual power at this level of cultivation; he could do so simply by relying on his protective true essence.

But not now.

He had just swallowed the Chaos Creation Spirit Crystal, completing the physical reconstruction and the transformation of his dual spiritual roots. Before his body could even adapt to this new power, he was immediately attacked by the evil cultivator's soul.

Even worse, without any warning, they were swept into the spatial turbulence and spun around wildly.

At this moment, his dantian was like a wooden bucket that had just been pieced together and was still leaking air.

The once perfectly round golden elixir was now covered with tiny cracks caused by the tearing of space.

The true essence fell into a brief stagnation and stillness, unable to mobilize even a trace of magical power.

"Bang!"

That powerful, icy spiritual energy slammed solidly into Li Chen's chest.

"Holy crap!"

Li Chen let out a cry of pain.

He was thrown out of the bathtub as if he had been hit head-on by a charging rhinoceros.

After tracing a smooth parabola in mid-air, it crashed heavily into the bluestone wall behind it.

slide.

It fell to the ground.

Li Chen winced in pain, rubbing his aching back as he cursed under his breath.

What kind of mess is this?!

The mighty number one cultivator of the Tang Dynasty, who had just acquired max-level divine gear, was not only ambushed by an evil cultivator, but was now being tossed around like a ball by a female cultivator who hadn't even reached the Golden Core stage.

"Even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. This body is recovering way too slowly, it's such a hassle!"

As Li Chen muttered to himself, he grabbed a white silk bath towel from the shelf next to him and haphazardly wrapped it around his waist.

At least the vital parts must be covered first.

In the bathtub.

The stunningly beautiful woman had already leaped out of the water.

She pulled a large robe over her graceful body, her long, wet hair moving without wind, and in her hand she held a long sword that radiated a chilling light.

The sword tip was aimed directly at Li Chen's throat.

"You scoundrel! I'm going to kill you!"

Jiang Liyue's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent. Her innocent body had been completely exposed by a strange man, and she had even been pinned down.

This utter humiliation made her want to tear the man in front of her to pieces.

Just as she was about to stab Li Chen in the throat with her sword.

"Bang!"

The carved wooden door of the bathroom was violently kicked open from the outside.

"Young Madam! What has happened!"

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.

A dozen or so young female cultivators, dressed in uniform and wielding swords, rushed into the bathhouse as if facing a formidable enemy.

When they saw the scene inside the room, they all gasped in shock.

A man of unknown origin, wearing only a bath towel around his waist, was sitting blatantly on the floor of their young mistress's bathroom.

"Ah! A thief!"

The female cultivators let out sharp screams and drew their longswords, instantly surrounding Li Chen.

Jiang Liyue gritted her teeth, her hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

She glanced at the maids filling the room, then at the indifferent-looking man on the floor, and finally forced herself to suppress her murderous intent.

Today is her wedding day, and everyone in the sect is watching her closely.

If we kill this thief on the spot, and things get out of hand, then our plan to get the pills to save my sister will be completely ruined.

"Tie up this shameless scoundrel!"

Jiang Liyue turned her back, her voice as cold as ten thousand years of ice.

"Lock him in the dungeon with the Spirit-Binding Lock! After the wedding, I'll personally tear him to pieces!"

The maids dared not delay and immediately swarmed forward.

Several black iron chains, shimmering with the eerie light of runes, mercilessly wrapped around Li Chen's wrists and ankles.

Li Chen tried to struggle a little.

Upon discovering that the stagnant golden core within his body remained unresponsive, forcibly mobilizing it only caused excruciating, tearing pain in his meridians.

"Well, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle."

Li Chen rolled his eyes and obediently raised his hands, letting the group of female cultivators tie him up like a tightly wrapped rice dumpling.

"Stop pulling and tugging, I can walk by myself."

Li Chen was escorted by two female cultivators and limped out of the bathhouse, where he was thrown directly into a dark and damp dungeon.

"Bang."

The heavy steel prison door was slammed shut and locked with three heavy locks.

There was no light in the dungeon, only the sound of a few drops of water seeping from the cracks in the walls.

Li Chen was carelessly tossed into a corner covered with a layer of moldy hay.

He wasn't flustered at all.

He struggled to adjust his posture, leaning against the cold wall and crossing his legs.

"breathe--"

Li Chen slowly closed his eyes, his mind sank into his dantian, and began to try to communicate with the cracked golden core.

As long as he can absorb even a trace of spiritual energy, he can use his extraordinary spatial constitution to quickly heal his injuries.

however.

When he first opened his divine sense to sense the spiritual energy of this world.

Li Chen was completely stunned.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and in the darkness, an unbelievable, shocking light burst forth from his deep eyes.

"What...what kind of place is this?!"

Li Chen gasped.

Rich and flavorful.

It's so rich!

The spiritual energy here is so dense it's outrageous!

If we were to say that the spiritual energy in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was like a wisp of moisture that occasionally drifted through a parched desert.

The spiritual energy in this underground cell is like a vast, surging ocean, so thick it's almost liquefied!

He didn't even need to consciously practice his cultivation technique.

The rich spiritual energy, like sharks that have smelled blood, frantically rushed into his body through every pore!

"Holy crap..."

Li Chen couldn't help but swear, and his eyes welled up with tears.

"What kind of ascetic, pseudo-cultivation life did I lead in the Tang Dynasty?"

"No wonder I've been AFK every day for three years and only barely made it to the Foundation Establishment stage. Turns out the environment in that godforsaken Tang Dynasty is just too bad, it's making me unsuited to the climate! This is the real cultivation world! Finally, I can have a decent meal!"

ecstasy.

An overwhelming sense of ecstasy welled up inside me.

Li Chen immediately cleared his mind of distractions and began to fully circulate his cultivation technique.

The two newly reconstructed "top-grade space + lightning" dual spiritual roots within his body displayed an astonishingly terrifying devouring power at this moment.

They are like two bottomless black holes.

The viscous spiritual energy around him transformed into two vortexes, continuously pouring into his meridians, cleansing and repairing the dried-up and cracked golden core.

"Given the concentration of spiritual energy here," Li Chen silently calculated in his mind.

"At most one night, my cultivation will not only be fully restored, but I can even use the residual power of the spirit crystal to make another breakthrough."

"Once I get out of here tomorrow, I'm going to thoroughly inspect that woman's bathroom!"

With this simple and unpretentious desire for revenge, Li Chen entered a deep state of meditation.

……

Silent all night.

the next day.

The deafening sounds of gongs and drums, along with the joyful suona horns, even penetrated the thick layers of earth and reached into the dark dungeon.

The prison door was slammed open from the outside with a loud bang.

Two male cultivators, dressed in identical sect attire and with menacing faces, entered, carrying magical swords.

"Get up! The time has come!"

One of the guards rudely kicked Li Chen.

Li Chen slowly opened his eyes.
