Afterwards, Evan Chu let Shadow and Goldwing enter his body, while Roxanne Lin would have to wait until she woke up before he could bring her into the Timewheel Bracelet. When someone is deep in meditation, it's crucial not to disturb them; otherwise, it’s easy to disrupt their flow and risk a dangerous backlash.
Evan had no idea how long Roxanne Lin would need this time, so he could only wait quietly. With nothing else to do, he even went to check on Shadow and Goldwing’s excavation results. After nearly two days, Roxanne finally opened her eyes.
"You must’ve been waiting a while, Lin. I knew you were here, but I was consolidating my realm and couldn’t stop. How did you disappear for half a year? You really made me wait! Shadow and Old Gold are total geniuses at mining Immortal Stones—between them, they’ve dug up almost everything in this place. You’re a real tycoon now!" Roxanne Lin stood up and said.
"Let me bring you into the Timewheel Bracelet. The Immortal Essence in there is truly insane—I bet by the time we come out, you’ll have reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm." Evan smiled.
He immediately took Roxanne Lin’s hand and entered the Timewheel Bracelet’s inner world. At that moment, Serena Frost and Macy Mei both woke up. Seeing Evan and Roxanne appear, they were startled—especially Serena, who was almost in disbelief at Evan’s new cultivation realm.
After a moment, she finally spoke: "You broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm? You reached Golden Immortal in such a short time—that’s terrifying!"
"With Immortal Essence that dense, you could do it too. Judging by your condition, rebuilding your body should be easy—want me to help? Just say the word. You’re Luna’s close sister, so I’d be happy to help you out." Evan smiled.
"Let’s talk about that later—I’d rather try myself for now, since men and women should keep proper boundaries. If I really can’t restore my body, then I’ll ask for your help. But by then, our relationship might be different. I haven’t figured that part out yet, and you know I’m not the kind of woman who takes things lightly, so I need to think carefully." Serena Frost replied.
Evan understood perfectly what she meant. If he helped restore her body, he’d see her completely—once a woman’s body is exposed to a man, there are only two outcomes: either she accepts him as her man, or she kills him to preserve her dignity.
But it was impossible for Serena Frost to kill Evan. Not only did she owe him her life, but just dealing with Yvonne Xuan would be a nightmare.
Evan smiled and said, "No problem. Just let me know when you need my help. I’d be happy to give Luna another sister—after all, you’re both peerless immortals."
Serena Frost felt her heart beating faster. She didn’t know why—she’d heard men call her beautiful plenty of times, but this time it felt different. The feeling was vague, even confusing, but one thing was clear: deep down, she was happy to hear it.
"Alright, with Immortal Essence this rich, everyone can cultivate well here. You deserve a ton of credit for that—time’s precious, so I won’t waste any more of it." With that, Serena Frost walked off to a quiet spot to start rebuilding her body.
The Violet Thunder Fox had now become a strikingly feminine and beautiful young woman. Evan felt a strange heat rise inside him—she was even more gorgeous than before, and her chest looked ready to burst out of her clothes, making it hard not to want to reach out and touch.
"Big Bro, I’m completely human now—shouldn’t I become your woman?" Macy Mei said bluntly, not even caring that Roxanne Lin was right there. Roxanne had known about her and Evan for a long time.
Evan was momentarily stunned. He knew exactly how much Macy Mei had suffered to stay with him, and now that she’d finally become human, he really should fulfill her wish. But now wasn’t the time for romance.
"Macy, I promise you’ll become my woman, but for now, let’s focus on cultivation, alright? Now that you’re human, I’ll make sure to give you a proper, grand wedding. By the way, can you still turn into a fox?" Evan asked.
"Turning into a fox is impossible now. To become human, I cut off all nine of my tails—it was so painful I almost died. Luckily, the Immortal Essence here helped me recover. Now I’m not just an ordinary human, but a true Earth Immortal." Macy Mei said.
You could imagine how agonizing it was to cut off all nine tails, just to become human. Evan didn’t know that when she turned into a beast egg, her power dropped by a whole tier. But to recover so quickly and reach the Earth Immortal Realm was still a mystery he’d wondered about for a long time.
Still, he didn’t ask her about it—maybe it was a secret of the Spirit Fox Clan. If she wanted to tell him, she would. "Macy, do your best to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm is full of powerful people, and if we’re weak, we’ll just get bullied. We can’t waste a single moment."
"Got it. I just wanted you to know I’m a real immortal now, and I want to be your woman—that’s all. If the Immortal Realm is that intense, then let’s work hard and cultivate!" Macy Mei said.
Evan and Roxanne Lin exchanged a glance, then each found a spot rich in Immortal Essence to cultivate. Evan’s place was right where the Immortal Crystal was buried—the Essence there was the densest, and everyone had saved it for him. Only when his strength rose could the whole group follow him across the Immortal Realm.
When it came to cultivation, time felt almost worthless. Evan only took thirty years to reach mid-stage Golden Immortal, and sixty more years to reach late-stage Golden Immortal. He only paused three times in all that time: once when Roxanne Lin broke through to Heavenly Immortal, once when Macy Mei did the same, and once when his Nascent Soul sought him out.
Now, Evan’s Nascent Soul had completely merged with his body. He felt his heart and mind soar—he’d reached the realm of Ninth-Heaven Arch-Immortal, a whole tier above his actual cultivation.
But even at late-stage Golden Immortal, he’d hit a bottleneck. Back when he was at late-stage Heavenly Immortal, it took him six months to break through to Golden Immortal. Now, breaking through to Da Luo Golden Immortal would take even longer—and be far tougher…
