Chapter 4139 — Helping Others Grow Stronger

By then, no matter how blind any faction might be, they would likely only dare to regard them with awe, and would not lightly provoke or offend them.

Since it had proven effective, given Wei Zhao's temperament, he naturally could not simply stop there. Instead, he went a step further and threw himself wholly into raising the strength of the two women.

He was an expert of the early Golden Core stage. Barring any mishap, he should be more than capable of forcibly elevating the two women all the way to the great consummation of the Foundation Establishment realm!

And indeed, things went just as Wei Zhao had expected. Back in the mortal world, he had already been thoroughly practiced in this matter; now it was merely a different level of strength, but the underlying principle remained the same throughout.

Everything proceeded as naturally as could be. Under Wei Zhao's full exertions, the two women's strength soared all the way, and they were forcibly elevated to the great consummation of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Those rank barriers that ordinary people found so hard to break were utterly powerless before Wei Zhao, a flawless expert of the Golden Core stage—especially with the jade pendant's space continually replenishing true qi. Everything seemed to fall into place as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Feeling the surging, turbulent true qi within their bodies, not to mention Tianchan and Xueli, who felt as though they were in an unreal dream, even Wei Zhao had not expected the process to go so smoothly.

However, just as Wei Zhao thought the great task was accomplished and slowly withdrew his hands from the two women's backs, a sudden change erupted!

Bang! Without the slightest warning, the clothes on the two women's bodies burst apart with a bang, all shredded into strips of ragged cloth—even their most intimate undergarments did not escape.

"Uh…" Staring at Tianchan and Xueli, who had suddenly become bare and without a stitch on them, Wei Zhao was instantly dumbstruck, and then could not help but swallow hard.

No matter how composed one might be, faced with two exquisite, tender-white bodies—if there were still no reaction at all, one had best hurry off to a men's clinic for a checkup.

At first Tianchan and Xueli had not yet registered what had happened, still immersed in the wild joy of their surging strength, until they turned their heads and saw the strange expression on Wei Zhao's face. Only then did they abruptly come to their senses. With a simultaneous soft cry, they wrapped their arms over their chests and lowered their heads, faces full of shame.

"How do you two feel? Nothing wrong, I hope?" Wei Zhao forced down his saliva with difficulty and asked with concern.

"N-no… nothing…" The two women exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison, yet they did not dare raise their eyes to meet Wei Zhao's; their faces were already red to the roots of their ears.

Both of them were virgins. Never before had they appeared before a man in such a tempting state. Even though they had long since given their hearts to Wei Zhao, they had, after all, never truly been intimate with him. To be suddenly so utterly exposed, with not the slightest mental preparation beforehand—at this moment their two young hearts pounded like startled deer, nearly leaping out of their throats.

"That's good, then. I reckon it's because you're still not used to the surging true qi in your bodies. Your realm has already reached the great consummation of Foundation Establishment, but it hasn't settled yet, so you can't control it, and that's why…" Wei Zhao said, feasting his eyes while somewhat awkwardly rubbing his chin in explanation.

"Oh." The two women nodded in unison. Then Xueli suddenly bit her lip lightly, let go of the hands covering her chest, and said with a shy red face, "Actually… Wei Zhao, if you want to, I can…"

Xueli's heart had long since belonged to Wei Zhao. Especially after he had rescued her from her sea of suffering, she had unconsciously come to think of giving herself to him in return—only she had never had the chance.

Since Wei Zhao did not bring it up, she, a girl, naturally would not offer herself either. She had never expected that now, all caught off guard, things would come to such a pass.

"Huh?" Wei Zhao's gaze instantly went fixed. But before he could react, Tianchan on the other side also let down the hands covering her chest, bit her red lips at him, and said, "I can too…"

Suddenly both women were throwing themselves at him at once, both beautiful as fairies, and both utterly uncovered. Wei Zhao was instantly plunged into a battle between heaven and man.

He did not consider himself any gentleman; in fact, even if he truly were one, when two hearts were mutually willing, there was no reason to shrink back at such a moment—to shrink back now would instead leave one open to the suspicion of being worse than a beast.

But time was pressing at this moment! Faced with such an extreme temptation of soft jade and warm fragrance, Wei Zhao in the end could only fiercely pinch his own thigh, forcibly preserving the last shred of clarity in his mind, and said with a bitter smile, "This… little Chan, Xueli, we haven't finished the real business yet…"

"Ah?" Tianchan and Xueli exchanged a glance, and their faces immediately grew even redder. Both of them had thought it was already over.

"You two have just broken through to the great consummation of Foundation Establishment, and the true qi in your bodies is at its most active right now. If you try to assail the Golden Core realm, with me at your side guiding your true qi, the odds of succeeding in one go are still quite good." As Wei Zhao spoke, he took out the other two remaining top-grade golden cores, and at the same time, the Star-Ink Stone!

Strictly speaking, the Star-Ink Stone, like pills and medicines, was a consumable item. After all, the power of the stars and the power of the sea contained within it were finite; once fully used up, it would be of no further use.

As for the piece of Star-Ink Stone in Wei Zhao's hand, when he had broken through earlier, he had consumed only half of its power of the stars and power of the sea before successfully condensing the All-Beautiful Golden Core. Now half still remained, just right for use on Tianchan and Xueli.

Wei Zhao knew he would not linger long on Central Island. Once he left, if the two women were still only at the great consummation of Foundation Establishment, then even with the help of Tianxingdao and the others, he would still be somewhat uneasy. But if he made the two women into peak Golden Core experts like himself, then there would be nothing to worry about.

"Assail the Golden Core realm directly?" Tianchan and Xueli were startled at the words and looked at each other, casting even the embarrassment of being so exposed before Wei Zhao to the back of their minds.

Before this, they had both been merely early Foundation Establishment experts; even the peak of early Foundation Establishment had been something they could only dream of. Now, less than half a day later, they were actually about to begin preparing to assail the Golden Core—if word of this got out, the world would surely take them for raving lunatics with wildly fanciful ideas.

"That's right. With this half piece of Star-Ink Stone, once you succeed, it will be a perfect breakthrough—you'll become Golden Core experts with the greatest potential. Do you want to give it a try?" Wei Zhao nodded.

"Golden Core experts with the greatest potential?" Tianchan and Xueli's eyes lit up at hearing this. Though neither of them was fond of fighting, having endured their earlier miserable experiences, they knew well that in this cultivation world where the weak were prey to the strong, strength was the true foundation for standing one's ground—so the stronger, the better.
