"So, like this... After we entered the Mellowing Serpent Dragon Secret Realm, I started using my pupils' ability and control the nearby Snake-Type Magical Beasts."
"We conquered the areas one by one, finally reaching the last domain, the Serpent Dragon's Grave, where I met the dying Divine Beast's will."
"To acquire its recognition, I have to defeat a Half-Saint Realm Expert without summoning any of the subordinates I had. Thankfully, Instructor Rou had taught me martial arts to my bones, or else I'd get beaten to death."
"Hehe, the parasite suit also helped me tremendously..."
Everyone heard Qing Lin's story, and Baek Ain couldn't help but clap his hand in amazement.
This little wife of his is capable. She conquered a top-tier Secret Realm that contained three Rank 9 Magical Beasts.
According to the Chief Tribe Yao Ming, Qing Lin made the remaining rulers of the Secret Realm fight against each other before finishing them off after they got exhausted.
The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe's convoys only cleaned the mess left behind by the fight. Even Yao Ming, a 2-Star Dou Saint, only helped once or twice in this expedition.
Baek Ain rubbed Qing Lin's head and said, "Take a rest for a day. You have been fighting for over a week, after all."
"Okay!" Qing Lin smiled happily, hugging Baek Ain.
Since Dou Practitioners don't have to sleep to recover their stamina as they only have to meditate, Qing Lin hasn't slept nor rested until she conquered the Mellowing Serpent Dragon Secret Realm.
Even after conquering the Secret Realm, Qing Lin was too excited and rushed back to spread this good news to Baek Ain.
Watching Qing Lin go to her bedroom, the ladies sighed with a complicated feeling.
Lan Rou, Yafei, and Yi Xian have watched this little girl grow, but they would have never thought she'd be this monstrous.
More so for Cai Lin because her disgusting clansmen were "actually." the ones who did this tragedy and caused Qing Lin to birth into this world.
Ironically, Qing Lin could match Cai Lin in Innate Talents or surpass her, and she's a few hundred younger than Queen Medusa.
'It seems I had to return to the Tager Desert and change a few things.' Cai Lin thought to herself. After all, she couldn't let her loyal subjects become too inhumane.
Even though power is everything in this jungle world, Cai Lin aspired to become more benevolent. As a future empress of Baek Ain's legion, she couldn't become a tyrant and decided to take a new step.
Then Cai Lin shivered at the thought of a dangerous future ahead of them. She breathed in and looked at Baek Ain, believing her man could forge a new path.
"Ain, I want to go back." Cai Lin suddenly said.
"Go back? To Tager Desert?" Baek Ain glanced at her.
Cai Lin nodded and replied, "The Northern Region is not united. Well, we got like 50% of the influence there."
"After some thought, I have decided to gather enough power and influence back in the Northern Region. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe will help me reform them."
"Do you need Behemoth Paradise's aid? Reforming the entire region wasn't an easy thing to do." Baek Ain commented supportively.
"Not to mention the resources in the Northern Legion are severely lacking."
Cai Lin smiled as she nodded, "Mm, send some Serials. I believe Fan Gu's Techniques from the Great Thousand World will cause explosive growth in the Northern Region."
Unknown to Cai Lin, she'd met the woman in her vision when unifying the Northern Region. They'd fight and somehow become friends despite intense battles.
Yafei suddenly raised her hand and said, "Can I go with Sister Cai Lin?"
"I want to visit the Miteer Family. I haven't seen my uncles and aunts for a while now."
"Go." Baek Ain chuckled. "Say hello from me to Senior Hai Bodong, and give him a fright that you're a Dou Venerate Expert."
"You're so evil~!" Yafei giggled back, agreeing with Baek Ain's request.
Yi Xian rubbed her chin and whispered something into Lan Rou's ears, making the latter's eyes shine slightly.
"Sure," Lan Rou gave Yi Xian an affirming nod. "Let's do that."
"Ain!" They suddenly slapped the table.
Baek Ain was startled, "What?"
Yi Xian put on a foxy smile and said, "I want to visit the Pill Tower. If possible, bring it under our control."
"Are you confident? You know Pill Tower has some Half-Saint Experts and even a Dou-Saint, right? Your cultivation base isn't enough to bring them down."
"Hehe, I wanted to bring Sister Lan Rou with me!" Yi Xian proudly lifted her nose, leaving Baek Ain speechless. "Don't worry. She agreed to accompany me."
"Mm." Lan Rou nodded with a smile.
Baek Ain sighed and lamented, "Aih, Doesn't this means you four will leave me alone with Qing Lin? Aih, how lonely."
The corner of the four ladies' mouths twitched when hearing this.
This shameless husband of theirs.
"Sister, let's beat him up!!" Yi Xian pumped her fist, pointing her finger at Baek Ain like a commander in a war.
Baek Ain's expression sank as the four beauties tackled him to the ground, starting to do lewd things.
The tea room soon filled with moans and grunts.
...
...
The next day, Cai Lin and Yafei used the nearest Wormhole to return to the Northern Region. They stared at Baek Ain with an annoyed gaze as their bodies were sores.
The same goes for Yi Xian and Lan Rou because Baek Ain showed no mercy when they tried to bully him with numbers. They couldn't defeat his Golden Rod.
Baek Ain waved his hand from a distance, watching his lovers disappear into the Wormholes. "Well, I have my job. I can't keep them forever on my side. They also need their journey to become stronger." He vanished from the spot.
Returning to the Nine Serene Mountain Range, Baek Ain cultivated for a few days to improve his cultivation base. He also consumed several of his self-concocted pills containing Extreme Life Force to further Ashen-Eyed Behemoth's Power.
Deep in the bamboo forest, a white-haired youth meditated silently above a sturdy-looking rock. His black robe danced because of the gust, revealing his toned physique.
Invisible force seemed to revolve around his body, compressing every inch of his flesh.
Baek Ain released a sigh, opening his eyes.
He clenched his fist and saw the muscle slightly contracted, shaking his head helplessly.
[Congratulation, Host]
[You have directly entered the High Stage of Half-Saint Realm]
"Thanks for the compliment, but this is due to my Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique." Baek Ain humbly replied.
It wasn't a lie because the Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique changed Baek Ain's body into that of a higher lifeform, allowing him to accommodate a more refined and pure Dou Qi Energy.
Becoming Half-Saint Expert wasn't as difficult as people thought. With a firm, enough foundation like Baek Ain, the serials in the Behemoth Paradise have replicated his method and evolved their physiques before becoming Half-Saint Experts.
The difference is that people in this Cultivation World focus too much on one thing when they have to achieve three main things.
Body, Mind, and Energy.
Baek Ain's body is so strong that even a 6-Star Dou Saint couldn't possibly crack its defense. Not to mention his regeneration topped it off in case he did get injured.
Baek Ain's mind tempered continuously thanks to his Alchemist's prowess. And thanks to the 1st Soul Transition, even old monsters and Gods couldn't damage it.
And energy, the Record of Burning World isn't just a mere cultivation technique. It's a Divine-grade Cultivation Technique, capable of refining one's energy into that of a Golden Crow's Sun.
Baek Ain's energy is several hundred times more refined and purer than anyone in the same cultivation realm. His energy reserve is also huge.
Of course, this is just the foundation.
Yes, one needed profound control over Spatial Strength and the natural force to become a Half-Saint Expert. They needed to convert their bodies into Saint-like physiques and refine them with Spatial Strength until they broke mortal's limitations.
Given Baek Ain's cheat-like system and advantages, saying he could become a Dou Saint in one year at any time is a severe underestimation.
A few months is more than enough.
"Hubby, I'm ready." Qing Lin appeared before Baek Ain's eyes.
She wore a dark green dress, black stockings, and green shoes. Her green hair was "neatly." tied in a long braid.
Baek Ain smiled and replied, "Let's go."
"Mm."
