System Notification: [Warning! Host is detected to be a cripple with zero talent. Emergency protocol initiated. New Quest: Survive the bullying of a Level 1 Thug.]
Qi Yuan: “Are you blind? I am the Holy Scion of the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary! I have a Nascent Soul cultivation base! I can disintegrate that thug by sneezing!”
System: [Reward for completion: 1x Primordial Chaos Bloodline.]
Qi Yuan: “…Fine. Hand me the broom. I’ll sweep the floor.”
Qi Yuan is the strongest genius of his generation. He stands at the peak of the cultivation world. But his System thinks he is trash.
To farm the System’s god-tier rewards, Qi Yuan must suppress his aura, hide his divine artifacts, and infiltrate a third-rate sect as a lowly servant disciple. He wants to keep a low profile. He really does. But it’s hard to act weak when:
The Sect Leader kneels before you in terror.
The Demoness thinks you are an ancient devil in disguise.
You accidentally one-shot the World Boss while trying to slap a mosquito.
What to expect:
OP Protagonist: He is max level in a starter zone.
Misunderstandings: Everyone overthinks his actions.
Comedy: The System is an idiot.
Action: Face-slapping arrogance with overwhelming power.

In the world of cultivation, deep within the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary. Jade Flower Peak. The mountain towered thousands of feet into the clouds, shrouded in thick spiritual mist. Qi Yuan, freshly appointed as the Sanctuary’s Holy Scion, descended rapidly from the sky, striding purposefully toward his residence. Along the way, every Sanctuary disciple he encountered […]
“What…?” Qi Yao stood frozen in place, momentarily unable to process what had just happened. Not far away, the bearded man, firmly immobilized where he stood, swallowed with great difficulty. He asked in a trembling voice, “Who… who exactly are you, sir?” Ever since this mysterious man appeared, the surrounding air seemed to have solidified
Qingyun Town. The Black Tiger Gang. Inside the heavily guarded main hall. A burly member of the Black Tiger Gang hurried in, his face masked with panic as he shouted to the middle-aged man seated at the head of the hall: “Gang Leader! Disaster has struck!” Seeing this, the Black Tiger Gang Leader, Li Hu,
Outside Qingyun Town. “That should be far enough.” Qi Yuan led Qi Yao to a remote mountain hollow before finally stopping. He wiped the fake blood from the corner of his mouth and expressionlessly gazed in the direction they had come from. This brain-dead system… it was really freaking ridiculous! In fact, aside from the
“So it really did happen.” Watching the flying vessel draw closer, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression peculiar. Just like before, the script provided by the system was cliché and poorly written—the kind that would definitely flop if turned into a novel. According to the system, after the original host escaped with his
Supreme Mystery Sanctuary. The sky was lofty and distant, adorned with splendid clouds and mists. Extremely dense spiritual energy gathered into wisps of mist, enveloping the vast expanse of the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary. Majestic mountains stood tall, pavilions and towers rose in clusters, and countless rare and exotic beasts galloped and soared, presenting a magnificent
Seeing Qi Yuan’s “I’ve learned my lesson” demeanor, Daoist Hengzhen did not continue lecturing. Instead, he shifted the topic and spoke slowly. “This world is vast. Cultivators are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, endless and boundless. Yet, those who can form a Nascent Soul are fewer than one in ten thousand.
At the same time. Inside Falling Cloud Valley. A massive magic mirror hovered in the sky, reflecting the scenes outside the valley in minute detail, clear and vivid. Beneath the magic mirror stood several Falling Cloud Valley cultivators. At this moment, they were intently watching the images in the mirror, their expressions varied. After seeing
“Ding! Host has completed a side quest. Reward: 50 Reversal Points, 200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.” “Host has formed a favorable connection with the Child of Destiny. Destiny Luck has increased.” The system notification echoed in his mind. Qi Yuan faintly sensed an elusive, mysterious aura descending from the heavens and settling upon him, lifting his
After Yin Qingyuan announced the age restriction, no one present left. Those who could make it here couldn’t possibly be unaware of whether they met the age requirement. Falling Cloud Valley was secluded deep in the mountains, a long and arduous journey. If someone couldn’t even meet such a basic, hard requirement, they wouldn’t have
Because a large number of people were eliminated in the first round’s spiritual root test, fewer than a hundred test-takers remained for the second round. Guided by the disciples of Falling Cloud Valley, Qi Yuan stepped onto the small path almost simultaneously with the others. A moment of dizziness washed over him. When Qi Yuan
“Look, another person has perfectly passed the first stage of the illusion!” Just as the Falling Cloud Valley crowd was buzzing with discussion, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise. “It’s Lin Zhen!” “He also realized there was something wrong with the beauty before him!” The next moment, an extremely astonished voice rang out again. “And Wang
“The second trial within the illusion tests honesty. That old man is blind and frail, utterly defenseless against the test-taker. Under such temptation, maintaining honesty counts as passing the trial.” “Of course, the passing requirements for this trial were modified once, making it much easier than a thousand years ago…” As Yin Qingyuan’s explanation continued,
Outside the illusion formation. “Is that even allowed?” “The old man can barely stand, half his body practically in the grave already, and that kid has the nerve to make him carry him up the mountain. Is that something a human would do?” “Holy crap, he’s almost at the fiftieth step. It seems like it’s
Early morning the next day. Falling Cloud Valley. Outer Sect. “Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission: 【Basic Mastery of a Cultivation Method】. Reward: 100 Reversal Points, 8 High-Grade Qi Gathering Pills, 300 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Rewards have been automatically deposited into the system space.” Inside a simple wooden hut, Qi Yuan rubbed his temples
“Junior Brother Qi, at the very least, you have the ability to make the Formation Spirit Senior show itself. Just that alone is something no one else in Falling Cloud Valley can do.” Bai Xirou looked at Qi Yuan, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation. Qi Yuan immediately understood. Well, well, a hater is still
Qi Yuan and Bai Xirou were both somewhat dumbfounded as they watched the Formation Spirit display such an exaggerated expression. What kind of tragedy could have occurred to make a Formation Spirit that had lived for thousands of years grieve to this extent? The Formation Spirit seemed lost in some memory, tears welling in its
“Don’t go making wild accusations. We weren’t bullying Lin Zhen. It was just a few senior Outer Sect Disciples kindly testing his progress in his cultivation techniques. A few bumps and bruises during the process are perfectly normal. Even if you complain to Elder Mo, it won’t do any good.” Wang Luchuan wore a cold
Falling Cloud Valley. Outer Sect. “Reporting to the Elder, the assignments for the batch of newly entered Servant Disciples yesterday have been properly arranged. Please review them.” Inside the main hall, an old man in a blue robe and lotus crown sat at the head seat. Below him stood a middle-aged man dressed in the
The next day. Falling Cloud Valley. The Medicine Garden. A middle-aged steward spoke to Qi Yuan with a serious expression: “Big Qi, starting today, you will be responsible for working in Elder Kang’s medicine garden.” “If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask the senior brothers and sisters within the garden. But remember
Just as Qi Yuan was puzzling over the situation, a flurry of footsteps echoed from outside the house, followed by a loud voice: “This is where the Servant Disciple Big Qi lives.” Qi Yuan frowned, composed himself, and stepped forward to open the door. His gaze landed on several men and women wearing stern expressions.
Indeed! Hearing this, the previously skeptical crowd suddenly came to a realization. That’s right. According to common sense, the effort and reward in this matter were completely disproportionate. A Servant Disciple’s monthly stipend was a mere two spirit stones. Three thousand spirit stones were equivalent to a full one hundred and fifty years of wages.
Once untied, Lin Zhen completely ignored the despondent Wang Luchuan and Liu Yingying standing nearby. He walked straight up to Qi Yuan, his eyes brimming with tears of gratitude. “Brother Qi, this is the third time you’ve saved me. I can never repay such great kindness!” Qi Yuan waved a hand dismissively, his expression gentle.
Falling Cloud Valley. Outer Sect. The night was as dark as ink, with only faint starlight filtering through. On the gentle, low-lying slopes stood rows upon rows of spacious and luxurious spirit beast pens. Each pen possessed its own independent protective barrier and a specialized Spirit Gathering Array. The environment was beautiful, and the spiritual
The next day. Qi Yuan arrived early for his shift at the herb garden, appearing completely unperturbed, as if nothing had happened. The strongest cultivator in the Outer Sect, Mo Zhengyang, was only at the late Golden Core stage—a minor realm below Qi Yuan’s own. This was precisely why he had dared to infiltrate Spirit
As they spoke, Bai Xirou pointed toward a bamboo grove in the distance and said with a smile, “I’ll take you to meet Junior Sister Zhen. She is an Inner Sect Disciple guarding the herb garden here. If you encounter any difficulties in the garden, you can seek her help.” Seeing Bai Xirou’s thoughtful and
After finishing his duties at the herb garden, Qi Yuan walked toward the Main Peak of the Outer Sect. The Main Peak was noticeably taller than the surrounding mountains, standing out prominently among the encircling peaks. The concentration of spiritual energy here was also far denser than in other places. “Junior Brother Qi, what brings
“Big Qi, you’re dead this time!” Watching Qi Yuan standing dumbfounded in place, Wang Luchuan, hidden in the shadows, flashed a vicious glint in his eyes and muttered to himself, “My cousin’s plan is indeed brilliant. Let’s see how you manage to squirm your way out of this one.” “The Crimson Flame Tiger is on
That night. In a simply decorated cave dwelling within the Inner Sect. Yin Qingyuan sat slumped on a cloud couch, his face dark and gloomy, his eyes filled with rage. Not far in front of him, Yin Hong knelt, trembling, his head bowed low, not daring to even breathe loudly. “Is what you just said
Zhen Yuyan? Upon seeing the newcomer, Qi Yuan’s gaze sharpened slightly, his heart reaching a state of utmost vigilance, yet he spoke calmly: “Reporting to Senior Sister Zhen, the growth of the Jade Leaf Grass hasn’t been ideal these past two days. I thought to water it a few extra times to avoid affecting the
At the same time. Deep within the bamboo forest. Inside an exquisitely laid-out small building, Ji Chan’er sat cross-legged, suspended motionless in the air. Around her, eerie winds swirled and shadows rippled, emitting waves of strange and ominous fluctuations that made her figure blur and indistinct, like a ghost. Because she was cultivating, Ji Chan’er
After a brief moment of silence, the area erupted into an uproar. “Kid, do you even know who you’re talking to?” “Damn! This guy’s looking for death. Is he always this reckless?” “He dares to provoke all of us? This little bastard is way too arrogant!” In an instant, all the Outer Sect Disciples participating
“The Outer Sect Grand Competition now officially begins!” As he spoke, Elder Yang Xiude of the Internal Affairs Pavilion waved his hand grandly. A group of Internal Affairs Pavilion disciples surged into the arena, distributing a teleportation talisman and a crystal-clear jade token to each participant. After the initial screening, around one hundred and fifty
Falling Cloud Valley. Back Mountain. Thud! With a muffled sound, Qi Yuan descended from the sky, landing steadily on a patch of soft soil. Raising his eyes, his view was filled with lush, verdant forests, deep and tranquil, with only the occasional distant cries of demon beasts breaking the silence. He looked around but didn’t
Watching Xie Yuxing’s team gratefully accept the “free gift” of Revitalizing Pills, Qi Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He felt he had once again successfully stoked the enthusiasm of his “employees.” With these recovery pills, this team of laborers would have the strength to generate more points. As the saying goes: without sowing, how can there
After hesitating for quite a while, the leading disciple among the newcomers cautiously approached Lu Kuang and tentatively voiced his confusion: “Senior Brother Lu, we haven’t encountered a single demon beast today. How did you end up with so many here?” Contrary to his expectations, Lu Kuang did not drive him away. Instead, he cast
The back mountains of Falling Cloud Valley. The competition area. Before their eyes lay a clear, winding stream, flanked by dense grass and low shrubs. Stone peaks stood all around, creating a landscape of strange, overlapping scenery. Three Outer Sect Disciples, all around twenty years old, were pacing back and forth as if searching for
Witnessing this scene, Yang Xiude, the elder from the Internal Affairs Pavilion responsible for organizing the Grand Competition, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his expression filled with admiration. “Good, good, good. This Big Qi truly has both courage and strategy, and his character is upright and good. If he hadn’t intervened to save them,
As the final day arrived, the disciples participating in the Grand Competition became increasingly cautious. By this time, the demon beasts and natural treasures within the competition area had been mostly swept clean. For many, the most realistic way to continue earning points was to seize the jade tokens from others. Thus, conflicts among disciples
The competition is over? Hearing the shouts from outside, Lu Kuang, hidden within a crevice in the ground, immediately perked up, his tightly wound nerves relaxing considerably. He had chosen to hide here precisely to safely and steadily lie low until the competition ended. He was already quite certain that with his over 3,500 points,
Whoosh! Accompanied by a flash of white light, Xie Yuxing was teleported to the square where the magic mirror was located. His face was now filled with triumphant spirit, ready to receive everyone’s congratulations. Before activating the teleportation talisman, he had even prepared an acceptance speech in advance, waiting to recite it publicly when he
When Qi Yuan was brought to the plaza, countless gazes instantly focused on him, filled with astonishment, envy, admiration, and even awe… At the same time, the elder from the Internal Affairs Pavilion beside him, having somewhat calmed his emotions, solemnly announced: “Servant Disciple Big Qi has obtained a total of seventeen thousand two hundred
The next day. Inner Sect. “Junior Brother Qi, congratulations on your promotion to Inner Sect Disciple. I have been ordered by Elder Yang to take you to select your residence. Please follow me.” After receiving the identity token representing his status as an Inner Sect Disciple, Qi Yuan was led out of the Internal Affairs
“Junior Sister Bai, this is the Archive Repository. It holds the records of all disciples who have entered the sect over the past thousand years.” A short while later, Yin Qingyuan led Bai Xirou to several large storehouses. He then took out a pale golden bead from his robe, activated it, and the protective restrictions
“Please show yourself, Senior.” The moment Qi Yuan agreed, a voice filled with the vicissitudes of time and profound depth suddenly echoed in his mind. “Young friend, not only can I see that you are concealing your innate talent and cultivation level, but I can also tell that your aptitude is exceptionally high. You are
Just after seeing Lin Zhen off, another commotion arose outside the small courtyard. Qi Yuan turned his head to look and saw three male cultivators dressed in the robes of Inner Sect Disciples heading toward his residence. The leading male cultivator wore a jade crown and an embroidered belt. He was tall and somewhat handsome
He absolutely must not let this woman succeed! Just as Qi Yuan was thinking this, he saw Ji Chan’er give a faint smile and speak in an inscrutable tone. “Junior Brother Qi, your Senior Sister would like to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully.” To probe the true nature
Seeing Ji Chan’er’s expression of being thoroughly intimidated, Qi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It worked! He had just successfully crafted an image of himself as a deranged lunatic with no weaknesses, one who would definitely seek revenge, paranoid and arrogant. He had successfully made her feel like she couldn’t bite down… “Sister
“If you’re afraid, you can also voluntarily give up your status as an Inner Sect Disciple and return to the Outer Sect to be a menial laborer. That’s where you truly belong. I’m sure those Outer Sect Disciples would welcome you warmly.” Yin Hong smiled with a hint of mockery, wanting to see the look
Falling Cloud Valley. Outer Sect Herb Garden. “Sister Zhen, are you there?” Outside the bamboo building, Bai Xirou knocked lightly on the door and called out softly. After several calls, there was still no movement from inside. She’s not here! Bai Xirou’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly pushed open
After deftly disposing of the evidence, Qi Yuan swaggered back to Falling Cloud Valley, his emotions perfectly stable, as if nothing had happened at all. The mission concerning Reed River City would be handled by people from the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary; it wasn’t something he needed to worry about. Those qualified to take on such
Before long, Bai Qingwu, the Sect Leader of Falling Cloud Valley, arrived hurriedly with a group of elders. Upon seeing the young man outside the mountain gate, he quickly stepped forward to greet him. “So it is the Holy Scion of the Celestial Zenith Sanctuary gracing us with your presence. Please forgive Bai for failing
Feeling the soft sensation transmitted from his arm, Qi Yuan couldn’t help but swallow hard, his heart pounding wildly. He never expected that the usually reserved and unassuming Eldest Senior Sister would have such a perfect figure… Qi Yuan forcibly suppressed the alluring thoughts in his mind and subtly tried to pull his arm outward.
The Library Pavilion. No wonder a ten-thousand-year spirit herb could appear within Falling Cloud Valley! Qi Yuan closed the thick Annals of Falling Cloud Valley in his hand, a look of realization dawning on his face. This book detailed a classic encounter scenario that all cultivators would delight in hearing about. It turned out that
Huh? Looking at the completely transformed small courtyard before him, Qi Yuan felt as if he had walked through the wrong door. He glanced left and right, confirming that this was indeed his residence, before stepping inside with a strange expression on his face. All the weeds and moss in the yard had been cleared
“Damn! So it was a plant!” After listening to Qi Yuan’s analysis of the case, the Formation Spirit’s expression shifted between dark and light, and he was unable to hold back a curse. “Let’s go, we’ll go pull out that thieving plant right now!” As the words fell, Qi Yuan felt his vision blur, and
“What?! All of my savings are gone?!” Upon hearing this utterly devastating news, the Formation Spirit was immediately overcome with grief, nearly fainting on the spot. “You little rascal, so young and already learning no good,” the Formation Spirit said, eyes bloodshot and teeth gritted. “Listen here, spit out everything you ate from me right
Looking at the relatively new copy of The Secret Record of the Golden Lotus, Qi Yuan’s expression gradually turned strange as an unbearable memory from his past surfaced. This was because the author of this book, “Laughing Scholar,” was none other than his own pen name! Back then, he had just transmigrated and was in
In a secluded, dense forest. Ji Chan’er’s face was like frost as she instructed the hunched, black-robed old woman beside her: “Grandma Qi, immediately send someone to find the Holy Scion of the Celestial Zenith Sanctuary, Piao Genshuo. Tell him that if he wants to retrieve that item, he must come to Falling Cloud Valley
Falling Cloud Valley. The Library Pavilion. “So that’s how it is…” Bai Xirou glanced around guiltily. After confirming no one was paying attention to her, she quickly placed the book in her hand, Thirty-Six Bedchamber Arts, back on the shelf, two blushes blooming on her fair cheeks. She never imagined that one day she would
The illusion continued. Time lost all meaning… Inside Granny Wang’s Teahouse. Qi Yuan lounged lazily, his arm wrapped around a body as soft as jade and warm as spring. His expression was one of utter, smug satisfaction. In his embrace, Ji Chan’er’s face was flushed with bashfulness. Her eyes were glazed and misty, rippling like
Ji Chan’er stared at the innocent smile plastered on Qi Yuan’s face. Her expression was grim, but inside, her mind was a chaotic mess, buzzing like a kicked hornet’s nest. She was the legitimate daughter of the Ji Clan, a figure of supreme status within the Nether Fiend Sect who crushed all her peers underfoot.
Boom… Rumble… Lightning serpents writhed amidst muffled thunder, the sky darkening under the oppressive weight of Heaven’s might. Flocks of birds and herds of beasts fled in panic, terrified of being caught in the tribulation lightning and meeting their doom. Qi Yuan was deep in a state of sudden enlightenment, countless insights about the Nascent
Reed River City. After achieving the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, Qi Yuan’s strength had soared to an entirely new level. He flew with incredible speed, soon arriving before a majestic, sprawling city. The city walls stretched for over a hundred miles and towered more than thirty zhang high, resembling a colossal beast crouching at the
“Cut the crap!” Qi Yuan took a deep breath, staring at the two smug faces before him. His expression was deadpan. “Describe your mission details. Step by step. If I hear one more word of nonsense, I’m failing you both on the spot.” “Uh…” The threat worked instantly. The dynamic duo—Dumb and Dumber—shut their mouths,
“You two did well.” After listening to their report, Qi Yuan nodded, offering a rare word of praise. If the Seven Great Sanctuaries were truly filled with gentle, benevolent saints, they would have been chewed up and spat out by the ruthless demonic sects eons ago. They hadn’t dominated the cultivation world for hundreds of
“Holy Scion of Celestial Zenith, what are you doing?!” Seeing the sudden change, Bai Qingwu’s pupils contracted sharply. Shock and fury warred on his face as he retreated, struggling desperately to break free from the encroaching black mist. However, the expanding mass of black substance clung to him like maggots on bone, locking him in
“A Formation Spirit?” Shen Wuji’s expression froze as the spectral figure manifested out of thin air. He hadn’t expected a Soul Formation-level Formation Spirit to be hiding within the insignificant Falling Cloud Valley. The feeling was jarring. It was as if he were happily smurfing in a beginner village, bullying noobs, only for a max-level
Realizing the stranger hadn’t recognized him, Qi Yuan relaxed his guard slightly and nodded. “This is Falling Cloud Valley.” He was curious. Why had this guy come here? Did a brothel open inside the valley without me knowing? “Finally found it.” The green-robed man let out a long sigh of relief. He glanced around before
“The audacity!” Just as Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned by the situation, Piao Genshuo, who had been hiding behind him, shot forward with a sharp whoosh. His face flushed with righteous indignation, he shouted at the top of his lungs: “Where the hell did you come from? How dare you impersonate me… I mean, how
No, wait! I almost got played by this brat! Shen Wuji snapped back to reality. He was currently playing the role of the Holy Scion of the Celestial Zenith Sanctuary. If a mere Qi Refining weakling snatched his identity token, he shouldn’t be reacting with such pathetic panic. Realizing this, his expression instantly hardened, and
What now? Shen Wuji’s expression fluctuated wildly. The instinct to flee was already budding in his chest. He couldn’t forget that Falling Cloud Valley housed a Soul Formation realm Formation Spirit. If his identity as a True Disciple of the Demonic Sect was exposed, he would be trapped like a rat in a cage, likely
What now? Sensing the strange looks directed at him from all sides, Yin Qingyuan felt a strong urge to vomit blood. He had thought that by throwing his lot in with Shen Wuji—a True Disciple of a Demonic Sect with profound methods—seizing the position of Falling Cloud Valley’s Sect Leader would be as easy as
“Junior Sister Ji, I was just joking earlier. Please, don’t take it to heart.” Shen Wuji forced a strained, dry smile onto his face. “Besides, I’ve already been exposed as an impostor by Falling Cloud Valley and beaten half to death by that Soul Formation spirit. Even in that critical moment, I didn’t drag you
“Brother, surely you’re joking?” Piao Genshuo looked at Qi Yuan like he was staring at a lunatic, his expression twitching with speechlessness. “Do you think Celestial Zenith Body Tempering Pills are cabbages found at a roadside stall? Even if you gutted the secret vaults of the Celestial Zenith Sanctuary, you wouldn’t be able to scrape
“Father, you’re awake!” “Sect Master, you’re finally conscious! We were all waiting for you to take charge of the situation!” “That little demon spawn dared to cry thief while being the thief! He slandered you, claiming you colluded with the demonic path. I firmly opposed him back then! My loyalty to you shines like the
Realizing the other party wasn’t joking, Bai Qingwu’s face hardened into a wooden, expressionless mask. “Your request is simply too outrageous. I cannot agree to it. It’s not too late to change it to something else.” “No need to change it.” Qi Yuan smiled slightly, repeating himself with absolute seriousness, “I only want Eldest Senior
Upon learning from several trusted elders that the visitors were disciples of the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary, Bai Qingwu reined in his emotions and responded, “Quickly, invite both of them in.” Soon, two boisterous voices could be heard approaching rapidly from the distance: “Comrade! We’re here to help! Quick, tell us who the opponent is this
Once everyone had left, Qi Yuan turned his gaze to Bai Xirou, who still seemed a bit dazed, and smiled. “Senior Sister, would you like to come back to the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary with me?” Bai Xirou snapped out of her reverie, slowly lifting her head. A flicker of confusion passed through her beautiful eyes,
“Ahem… Those two Immortals really lacked any sense of public decency. They couldn’t find a deserted spot to fight? To think they dragged an innocent bystander like you into their mess.” Sensing the trace of sorrow in the other party’s words, Qi Yuan coughed dryly to cover his awkwardness, offering a few words of cheap
The next day. After retrieving the compass from Lin Zhen, Qi Yuan made a trip to the back mountain and plucked the still-drowsy little white fox straight out of its cave. Soon after, amidst the tearful farewells of the Falling Cloud Valley disciples, he boarded the flying boat with Bai Xirou. This high-grade magical artifact
Reed River City. Qi Yuan suppressed his aura and once again disguised himself as “Big Qi.” He navigated through a maze of narrow alleys and soon arrived at a secluded courtyard. “Come in.” Before he could even raise his hand to knock, the wooden door swung open. A clear, pleasant female voice drifted from within.
Is this demoness out of her mind? After the initial shock, Qi Yuan’s mouth hung open blankly, confusion etched on his face as he stared at Ji Chan’er. “Fairy Ji, why would you have such a strange idea… I’ve always been timid and kind-hearted. A demonic sect is simply not the place for me, alright?”
Reed River City. The sun hung high in the sky, marking midday. The streets buzzed with activity; pedestrians jostled for space while vendors hawked their wares with gusto. The broad avenues were filled not only with light carriages and fine steeds but also with spirit beasts of all shapes and sizes, pulling ornate sedan chairs
“Found them.” As Qi Yuan and Bai Xirou exited the city, they didn’t have to travel far before stumbling upon a desperate scene. Four or five Foundation Building cultivators—men and women alike—were being savagely thrashed by a Ghost Face Moth at the peak of the Foundation Building realm. The monstrous moth was pitch-black, its wingspan
After entering the City Lord’s wife’s courtyard, Richie Zhang walked for a short while before being intercepted by a pale-faced young maid. The maid covered her nose with one hand and pointed a trembling finger at the three-story building in the center of the garden. “Hey! You, the night soil carrier!” she hissed, her voice
Seeing An Lingxiu hesitate, Qi Yuan let out a cold snort, his expression darkening instantly. “Are you implying that this Holy Scion is not worthy of meeting your wife?” “You misunderstand, truly!” A layer of fine sweat instantly beaded on An Lingxiu’s forehead. His face twisted into a bitter grimace. “My humble wife is… genuinely
As the crimson moonlight descended, the false grandeur of the magnificent hall was peeled away like a veil, revealing a twisted, horrifying reality. Substantial ghostly energy suffocated every corner of the City Lord’s Manor. The once-bright courtyards were now choked with flickering shadows, and eerie, rustling whispers echoed from the void, sounding like the weeping
BOOM! As Qi Yuan’s fist, wrapped in scorching Pure Yang energy, hurtled toward him again, Lu Jiuyuan’s frustration reached its peak. He had no choice. With a mental roar of defiance, he abandoned the physical body he had spent years cultivating and reverted to his spectral form. Whoosh— A blur of shadowy mist shot out
“Ahem…” Having finally shooed away the traumatized onlookers, Lucky Li cleared his throat with gusto. His voice boomed with restored confidence as he addressed the An siblings, who had only just begun to calm down. “Young Mistress, Young Master. This servant… er, wait, I mean I, Li Mingwang, have conducted a thorough investigation. I discovered
The night grew deep. At An Cailan’s fervent invitation, Qi Yuan and Bai Xirou agreed to stay overnight at the City Lord’s Manor and set off at first light. An Cailan personally escorted them to a secluded, elegant courtyard. The grounds were paved with white jade and lush with flowering trees, while the architecture exuded
Qi Yuan’s expression stiffened slightly. He threw a robe over his shoulders with a backhanded motion and began to explain himself. “Eldest Senior Sister, you know me. I have always been a man of integrity—pure, honest, and morally upright. You can’t just slander a good man like this!” “Who could have known your constitution was
Brain-dead System, just you wait! Sooner or later, I’m going to slap a massive one-star review right onto your face! After venting his fury, Qi Yuan composed himself. He quickly retrieved a communication talisman from his storage space, activated it, and spoke with a stone-cold expression. “Lucky Li, where are you guys right now?” On
The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed. In fact, it was likely the only viable option. At the very least, it seemed more reliable than disco-dancing on Wang Tiande’s grave… After all, trying to defeat a dead man without using some underworld methods was practically impossible. The Wang Family
Inside the meditation chamber. Qi Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura deep and abyssal. Chilling winds swirled around him as restless shadows danced on the walls, seemingly filled with countless wailing, drifting wraiths that exuded an unspeakably cold and eerie presence. Not long after, the strange phenomena in the room ceased abruptly. Qi Yuan slowly opened
Several days later. Supreme Mystery Sanctuary, Jade Flower Peak. Inside the Cave Abode, Qi Yuan sat upon the main seat, his face stern and his tone as cold as iron as he stared down at the Four-Eyed Spirit Fox. “Your Sister Bai is currently in seclusion attempting to form her Golden Core. With no one
The next day. After leaving a letter for Bai Xirou, who was still in seclusion stabilizing her realm, Qi Yuan arrived early at the External Affairs Hall to prepare for his journey to the Exquisite Sanctuary. Although the celebration ceremony wouldn’t begin for another half-month, the Exquisite Sanctuary was millions of miles away from the
It took a good while for Qi Yuan to snap out of his daze. Yet, despite the initial shock, his heart remained as calm as a stagnant well. The original host’s clansmen meant absolutely nothing to him. Even if they all dropped dead this instant, it would be difficult for him to squeeze out a
The next day. Reed Flower City. Unlike an ordinary city, Reed Flower City was more like a bustling, sleepless market for immortals. Mortals were few and far between, while the streets teemed with cultivators. Golden Core cultivators were a common sight here, and even Nascent Soul and Soul Formation experts were not unheard of. With
“Tch. If you wanted the goods, you should’ve just said so. Why beat around the bush with all that nonsense? You scared the hell out of me.” The attendant, initially flustered, sneered with disdain upon hearing Lu Changfeng’s request. He quickly reached into his robes and pulled out a stack of Shadow Retaining Talismans. “These
“Strange occurrences?” Piao Genshuo stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up with a wretched, knowing gleam. “Ah, I see what you’re getting at. I actually just heard from Lady Murong of the Joyous Union Sect. Apparently, sales of their… specialized literature have skyrocketed within the Exquisite Sanctuary recently.” He leaned in, his voice dropping to
A short while later. The Exquisite Sanctuary. “Fellow Daoists, you have traveled far. Your journey must have been arduous.” The moment the Supreme Mystery Treasure Ship docked at the end of the rainbow bridge, a middle-aged female cultivator in elegant palace robes glided forward. She offered a polite, practiced bow to the delegation on the
After pocketing the communication talisman, Qi Yuan dissolved the privacy barrier and stepped out of the main hall. He spotted a passing maid carrying a tray of spirit fruits and gently signaled for her to stop. “Junior Sister, a moment,” he asked with a polite, disarming smile. “Do you happen to know a new disciple
The Exquisite Sanctuary. Jade Cicada Palace. The grand hall was a vision of immortal decadence. Celestial music drifted through the air like scented smoke, weaving between the golden pillars and jade-paved floors. In the center of the hall, rows of ornate tables were laden with spirit fruits that glowed with inner light, delicacies made from
The Exquisite Sanctuary. The venue was a masterpiece of arcane engineering. A vast, artificially carved stone platform floated in the center of the valley, reinforced layer by layer with defensive arrays. Dense patterns of light flowed across its surface like liquid mercury, marking it as a top-tier dueling ground. News of the duel had spread
Ji Tianpeng looked like he was about to expire. His face cycled through a kaleidoscope of unhealthy colors—from ghostly white to bruised purple, and finally settling on a sickly, bilious green. He looked less like a Holy Scion and more like a man suffering from severe food poisoning on a spinning tea-cup ride. Qi Yuan,
“What a sword.” Outside the stone platform, Qin Lingxue’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a glimmer of genuine appreciation flickering in their depths. Although Qi Yuan’s technical swordplay appeared somewhat unpolished to her expert eye, that single strike had condensed the user’s entire essence, energy, and spirit. It vaguely contained a True Sword Intent—one of indomitable
“Fairy Xiao.” Qi Yuan offered a faint, elegant smile and stepped forward to greet her. However, before he could say more, a streak of escaping light tore across the distant horizon, descending rapidly to land right in front of the Resting Mist Courtyard. As the light dissipated, it revealed a female cultivator dressed in colorful
“Apologies. Whenever I think of that friend, my heart feels… heavy.” Qi Yuan’s expression shifted into a mask of profound melancholia. He struck a pose of deep reminiscence, gazing at a 45-degree angle toward the sky, and sighed with Oscar-worthy tragic flair. “Her name was Liu Ruyan. We were once soulmates, bound by a friendship
Bathe… together? Hearing this, Shao Xuanji, hidden within the shadows of the mist, felt her expression twist into a complex knot. Do young people nowadays play so wildly? If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she never would have imagined that her beloved disciple—always so pure, chaste, and dignified—would actually invite a man
I’ve been made! Qi Yuan stiffened, a chill running down his spine. He instinctively turned his head and saw a beautiful female cultivator in flowing Daoist robes hovering in the mist not far away, glaring at him with a face like frosted iron. Shao Xuanji? The Sect Leader? Qi Yuan’s heart plummeted. A layer of
After a spell of mental disorientation, Qi Yuan slowly opened his eyes to find himself lying on a bed of unimaginable luxury. Silk curtains hung low on all sides, surrounding him in a haze of gold and jade splendor. At the head of the bed, a three-legged, openwork incense burner—carved with scenes of a prosperous
After a brief flurry of noise from the corridor, the doors to the side hall swung open once more. A graceful figure swept in, adorned in a phoenix crown and ceremonial robes that shimmered like the dawn. Her long hair was swept up into a “Morning Clouds Near Fragrance” bun, secured by a pair of
“I’m full. We are going out for a stroll to aid digestion. You two… carry on chatting.” After enduring the most precarious and agonizing meal of his life—sandwiched between a manipulative “Green Tea” and a terrifying Dao Integration powerhouse—Qi Yuan finally seized an opening. He mumbled an excuse and fled the Phoenix Palace as if
Since the Illusion Realm mirrored reality, the Exquisite Holy Maiden was now fully clothed, leaving only the Holy Maiden Token lying forlornly on the ground beside the spirit pool. Even so, Qi Yuan dared not relax his guard. To avoid generating the slightest ripple of magical power that might alert Shao Xuanji, he didn’t even
Not long after. By the spiritual pond of the Exquisite Sanctuary. Bang! The illusion shattered with a deafening mental roar. Shao Xuanji’s consciousness snapped back to reality. Memories of her “imperial life” flashed through her mind like a fever dream, plunging her into a brief, stunned silence. A moment later, reality set in. “Damnable beast!
Stepping into the pavilion, Qi Yuan found the interior surprisingly stark. The four walls were bare, the space simple and unadorned, devoid of any furnishings save for a single rush cushion. Seated cross-legged on the cushion was a young maiden clad in palace attire, appearing no older than fourteen or fifteen. She possessed skin like
In but a moment, two familiar, graceful figures arrived in tandem. Leading by half a step was a woman clad in a flowing narcissus-hued Daoist robe. Her beauty was magnificent and imposing, her high-coiled hair adorned with regal ornaments. Amidst her delicate features lay a dignified grace that demanded reverence—this was none other than Shao
Exquisite Sanctuary. Guest Hall. Qin Lingxue sat with the Abyssal Frost Sword resting across her knees, her posture as upright and unyielding as a lone pine on a cliff. Wisps of vast, majestic Sword Intent drifted from the blade, twisting and distorting the void around her. At this moment, her expression was heavy with concentration,
“Senior, I do indeed need materials to refine the Heaven-Mending Pill. Could you take me to your noble Sect’s treasure vault for a look?” As he spoke, the corners of Qi Yuan’s mouth twitched upward uncontrollably, and he practically had to wipe drool from his chin. Jackpot! This is the accumulation of the Exquisite Sanctuary
“Holy Scion, welcome back.” By the time Qi Yuan returned to the Resting Mist Courtyard, the night was deep and silence reigned. He looked at the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary disciple greeting him and felt a sudden, jarring sense of dislocation—as if he had just returned from another world entirely. Reflecting on his recent stunts, calling
“Senior Brother, hold on.” Qi Yuan suddenly called out, halting the impending tragedy. He figured that if Lu Changfeng had the guts to swallow a Top-grade Emotion Severing Pill, the man clearly possessed immense resolve. He wasn’t beyond saving; he just needed a redirection of energy. After all, they were fellow disciples. Watching his Eldest
Not long ago. Central Spirit Domain, Yongli City. Night had fallen, but the city remained alive. Lanterns blazed along the thoroughfares, illuminating a river of pedestrians weaving through the bustling streets. In a tavern on a street corner, the noise was deafening. The main hall was packed to the rafters, the air thick with the
The original host… isn’t dead?! After cutting the transmission with Ji Chan’er, Qi Yuan frowned deeply, his eyes betraying his profound shock. Relying on his transmigrator’s enhanced memory, he replayed the scene outside Azure Cloud Town in his mind. To be absolutely safe, he had specifically swept the grave with his Divine Sense. He had
Holy shit! It’s the legendary Honey Trap! After a split second of hormonal distraction, Qi Yuan’s brain snapped back to reality. Xiao Yuening had risen above countless peers to seize the throne of the Exquisite Holy Maiden. She certainly wasn’t some naive, love-struck bimbo. Even if she harbored a sliver of affection for him, she
The next morning. As the first light of dawn broke the horizon, the entire Exquisite Sanctuary roared to life. Disciples, Deacons, and Elders alike wore expressions of vibrant joy, moving with methodical haste to prepare for the upcoming Grand Ceremony. For any faction, adding a Great Ascension realm powerhouse to their ranks was a monumental
Abyssal Sanctuary. Majestic peaks pierced the heavens, shrouded in steaming clouds and rosy mists. In the Guest Hall of the Outer Sect. A young man in his early twenties sat slumped on a wooden couch, his eyes closed in repose. His complexion was pale, his breathing shallow. Despite radiating the cultivation of the late Qi
Meanwhile, at the Exquisite Sanctuary. As the Grand Ceremony commenced, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. Countless floating platforms of varying sizes ascended slowly into the sky, arranged like stepping stones to the heavens. Each platform was laden with elegant tables, carved screens, golden platters, and jade goblets. Female disciples of the Exquisite Sanctuary, dressed in
“Distinguished guests, may I have your attention!” Amidst the banquet, Shao Xuanji, the Sect Leader of the Exquisite Sanctuary, rose from her throne. Her voice was clear and resonant, cutting through the festivities. Instantly, the silk and bamboo music ceased. The boisterous laughter and chatter died away, leaving the vast hall in a heavy silence.
“Are you threatening me?” Shao Xuanji’s voice spiked, the temperature in the hall plummeting to freezing. As a Dao Integration powerhouse, she didn’t need to deliberately flair her Qi. Her sheer emotional agitation was enough to manifest a crushing pressure, descending upon Qi Yuan like the weight of a collapsing mountain. Buzz. The Nine Luminaries
At the same time. Abyssal Sanctuary. Deep underground lay the Sword Pool. The sheer cliffs here had been carved into honeycomb-like caves, and massive platforms were hewn from raw metal veins. Countless flying swords, shimmering with flowing light, patrolled the cavern like schools of fish, their overlapping trajectories forming a terrifying, impenetrable net of blades.
“Hmm?” Ji Chan’er withdrew her hand, a flicker of surprise dancing in her eyes as she scrutinized the young man before her. His vitality was feeble, yet there wasn’t a trace of deathly stagnation. His soul and flesh were perfectly fused, a seamless vessel with no signs of instability. And yet… Despite being a weakling
Qi Yuan turned to see two streaks of light cutting through the sky. In the blink of an eye, they landed before him, revealing themselves as Tu Ruoxu, the Holy Scion of the Eternal Sacred Ground, and Zhuang Qingyun, the Holy Scion of the Boundless Sacred Ground. What do these two want? Qi Yuan’s guard
Qi Yuan’s expression shifted, a subtle glint flickering in his eyes. Thanks to Old Man Shi’s prior explanation, he had already pieced together the mechanics of the “Heavenly Dao Path.” The core of a so-called “Perfect Breakthrough” was simple: one needed to incorporate a wisp of Heavenly Dao Qi during the process. He was the
The next day. Yongli City. Inside the luxurious Immortal Mansion Inn. Heavenly-Class Room. Gauze curtains drifted like clouds in the gentle breeze. Night pearls embedded in the walls cast a hazy, fluorescent glow, projecting two intertwined silhouettes onto a screen embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The shadows danced chaotically, merging and separating
Qi Yuan watched Ji Chan’er vanish into the distance, then leisurely straightened his robes. It was time to get back to business: hunting down the true culprit behind the Qi family massacre. He had to admit, the imposter had some skills. To withstand a Soul Search from a Nascent Soul cultivator and earn the label
Several days later. Inside the main hall of a minor cultivation clan. Chaos reigned. Tables were overturned, screens shattered, and furniture lay splintered across the floor. The clan members were strewn about in grotesque disarray, their faces frozen in masks of abject terror, forever capturing the moment their lives had been extinguished. Rivers of fresh
What do I do? Han Lie’s composure shattered. His heart hammered against his ribs like a trapped bird, and panic clawed at his throat. He frantically cycled through potential countermeasures, but his mind came up blank. He couldn’t fight. Neither the man nor the woman before him was someone his current Foundation Building body could
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking the legendary “Number One Rogue Cultivator” up and down with piqued curiosity. In the cultivation world, the vast majority of resources were hoarded by the major sects and clans. This made survival for Rogue Cultivators incredibly harsh; those who managed to ascend to high realms were rarer than phoenix
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully eliminating the true culprit behind the Qi family massacre.” “Reward: 1,500 Counterattack Points.” “Reward: Top-grade Defensive Artifact—Golden Ao Bell.” “Reward: New Talent—[Clear Dao Heart].” Accompanied by the familiar, cold mechanical voice, a wave of profound relief washed over Qi Yuan. His Divine Soul clarified instantly. His thoughts, once cluttered, became
Qi Yuan stroked his chin, adopting the pose of a seasoned scholar analyzing a complex problem. “Fairy Qin, in cases like yours, the standard prescription is social interaction. Mingling with others typically alleviates the symptoms.” He paused, looking her up and down. “However, your personality is naturally aloof. Even when you do interact with others,
Two days later. Qingping City. Inside a secluded quiet room. Brilliant light erupted from Qi Yuan’s form, blinding and intense. A surging tide of spiritual pressure blasted outward, slamming into the walls and causing the layers of defensive formations reinforcing the chamber to groan and tremble violently. It took a long while for the turbulence
As the ghostly mist evaporated, the sky reclaimed its clarity. Qing’an City was silent. Deathly silent. For the mortals and rogue cultivators huddled in the streets, the last few moments had been a fever dream. One second, a ferocious demonic cultivator was towering over them, promising to refine every living soul in the city into
Several days later. In the Boundless Void. Qi Yuan stood suspended in the empty air, his gaze fixed on a mass of void mist so dense it appeared solid. Ink-black clouds churned within, radiating a bone-chilling cold. This was the entrance to the Slaughtering Daoist’s hidden cave abode. What puzzled him, however, was the absence
The trio navigated the dim, freezing void mist. The world around them was a vast expanse of nothingness, their only guide the positioning compasses in their hands. “Found it! Look over there!” Zhuang Qingyun suddenly perked up, pointing excitedly into the distance. Qi Yuan and Tu Ruoxu followed his gaze. In the darkness, a faint
Guided by the stolen memories of the Slaughtering Daoist, Qi Yuan transformed into a streak of flowing light, piercing through the void toward the pocket dimension’s core. This ‘Cave Abode’ floating in the outer void was less a cave and more a small world carved out by a high-level cultivator. In its prime, it would
“Senior Brother Tu, there’s movement over there. Should we go take a look?” A thunderous roar rolled in from a thousand miles away, shaking the very air. Zhuang Qingyun abandoned the tent he was assembling and rushed over to Tu Ruoxu, who was surveying the terrain nearby. Tu Ruoxu stared at the mushroom cloud blossoming
Qi Yuan sheathed the Abyssal Condensation Sword with exaggerated care, offering a sheepish, righteous smile. “Forgive me. This demonic blade radiates such malevolent energy… as a man of modest courage, I dare not wield it for long. I only bring it out for a quick flash when the spirit inside isn’t paying attention.” “The master…
“Heavenly Dao above! I, Tu Ruoxu, hereby swear on my soul!” Qi Yuan raised three fingers to the sky, his expression a mask of grim determination. “I am willing to take action to exterminate the Slaughtering Daoist, Han Lie. Once the deed is done, I will promptly return the Creation Cauldron to Laifu. If I
Having said his piece, Qi Yuan didn’t stick around to see if the duo believed him. He immediately activated the teleportation talisman he had palmed earlier. Buzz! Space warped, and with a flash of white light, he vanished from the pocket dimension. He had done his due diligence. Whether they listened to his warning was
Abyssal Sanctuary. Inside a secluded, elegant pavilion. Riiiip! Qin Lingxue slammed the book shut, her face burning a deep crimson. In her agitation, her slender fingers had clenched too hard, tearing a jagged gash right through the cover. Her eyes swam, dazed and unfocused. Explicit scenes replayed in her mind on an infinite loop, making
Meanwhile. Deep within the subterranean abyss of the mines. Thousands of laborers, clad in nothing but rags, swung their pickaxes with numb, mechanical desperation. Their faces were devoid of hope, their bodies wasted and thin. Each miner wore heavy shackles inscribed with suppression runes. These glowing sigils bit into their flesh, sealing away their cultivation
Three days later. The overseer team leader gasped for air as he dragged himself out of bed. Despite a full night’s sleep, his body screamed in protest. His muscles ached as if he’d been beaten, and his legs trembled so violently he could barely stand. He stumbled to the bronze mirror and froze. The reflection
“Not good, enem—” The frantic cry was cut short by a wet gurgle. Shing! A flash of snow-white sword light sliced through the gloomy valley. The Golden Core patrol captain stiffened, his eyes bulging in shock as a fountain of blood erupted from his throat. He toppled backward, dead before he hit the ground. “Kill!”
In the dense forest. Whoosh! Situ Yun’s eyes were bloodshot, glowing with a manic crimson light. He frantically burned his own Life Essence to fuel the True Demon Blood-Burning Art, pushing his speed to the absolute limit as he tore through the underbrush. But despair clawed at his heart. No matter what forbidden techniques he
“Brother Situ.” “Brother Qi.” Now that their allegiances were “confirmed,” the tension between the two evaporated. The atmosphere became so relaxed and brotherly that one might expect them to sacrifice a chicken and swear a blood oath on the spot. After a few rounds of polite conversation, they quietly struck a deal. Qi Yuan would
[Demonic Sect — Outer Sect] Ding! [System Notification: Mission Complete] Achievement: Host has successfully gained the approval of Mine Overseer Situ Yun and secured status as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Nether Fiend Sect. Rewards: 2000 Counterattack Points, Cultivation Method «Nine-Turn Golden Core Art», Personal Space expanded to 1,000 cubic meters. Feature Unlocked: Long-Distance
[Demonic Sect — Outer Sect] [Blood Refining Peak] Inside another independent courtyard thick with Spiritual Qi. “Senior Brother Chi, these virgin cauldrons are fresh arrivals from the market district. Each one retains their Primal Yin. Please consider them a small token of filial respect from your humble junior.” The speaker was a young male cultivator
Buzz— The teleportation sequence initiated. A wave of vertigo washed over Qi Yuan’s consciousness. The world spun, blurred, and then snapped back into focus. The gloomy, blood-soaked atmosphere of the Demonic Sect was gone, replaced by the familiar, tranquil surroundings of his cave dwelling on Jade Flower Peak. Qi Yuan took a deep breath, letting
Outside the courtyard, the mob of Demonic Cultivators exchanged glances of dismay. They were completely baffled. Wu Renjie frowned, cupping his hands around his mouth to shout at the silent house. “If you didn’t find anyone, quit stalling and get out here! What are you dawdling for?” Silence. No matter how loud he yelled, the
When Ji Chan’er fell silent on the other end of the communication talisman, Qi Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. A cold drop of sweat rolled down his temple. “Fairy Ji…” he asked, his voice laced with genuine anxiety. “Is this matter… really that serious?” If even the Direct Daughter of the Ji Clan couldn’t smooth
Seeing the disciples of the Enforcement Hall tense up, their nerves clearly frayed, Qi Yuan quickly fished a token from his sleeve. “Senior Brothers, relax. In truth, I am a personal friend of Fairy Ji. This is her token; feel free to verify it.” The middle-aged Demonic Cultivator blinked, stunned for a moment. “Which Fairy
“Reporting to the Deputy Hall Master! Subordinates have located several surviving disciples on the outskirts of Blood Refining Peak!” Just as the silence on the peak was becoming stifling, a group of Inner Sect enforcers hurried back to the bone carriage. Trailing behind them were five or six demonic cultivators dressed in the ragged robes
Once the Enforcement Hall convoy vanished into the clouds, the remaining Outer Sect survivors exchanged panicked glances. They wanted to run, but their legs refused to obey. Terrified of provoking the “Demon Lord” further, they could only kneel in place, heads bowed. Their faces were ashen. Their knees knocked together audibly. They looked like condemned
Ji Chan’er scrutinized Qi Yuan with a probing gaze. She strongly suspected that his “capture” by this mysterious Chen Huai was a calculated move, likely hiding some deeper scheme. However, she also knew the man in front of her. Without hard evidence, he would never admit to anything. Asking him was a waste of breath.
The next day. The Nether Fiend Sect, Inner Sect. Inside a cave dwelling that reeked of desolation. Situ Yun awoke from his meditation, his hand instinctively grasping for the jade bottle beside him. He popped the cork and shook it upside down. Nothing. Not even a speck of dust. “I’m completely out of Recovery Spring
Meanwhile. The Ji Clan Ancestral Land. The sky stretched high and wide, a vast canvas of azure looming over endless, layered mountain ranges. A small white jade boat, ornate with carved railings and painted halls, sheared through the sea of clouds, leaving a streak of turbulence in its wake. Ji Chan’er stood at the prow.
Chapter 168: Family Politics and The Art of the Scheme Upon learning that Qi Yuan was merely an Outer Sect Disciple, a flicker of confusion passed through Madam Ji’s eyes. However, she quickly smoothed her expression, nodding slightly in acknowledgment. Her tone remained warm and gentle. “Since you are a good friend of Chan’er, there
The Ji Clan’s Treasure Vault? Qi Yuan’s eyelid twitched. His mind immediately began running simulations, calculating the probability of a successful heist. Based on the violent reaction from the Creation Cauldron earlier, the missing fragment was almost certainly sitting inside that vault. This is a problem. The Ji Clan wasn’t some two-bit countryside landlord. They
“Connect Five?” Father and daughter exchanged blank looks. Neither had heard of this profound Dao of strategy. “Connect Five. It’s simple: we take turns placing stones. Whoever links five in a row first, wins.” After a hasty explanation, Qi Yuan strode up to the Go board. He grabbed a handful of black stones in his
Damn it. So, under the banner of ‘avenging me,’ you wiped out Jiao Guang along with his entire bloodline? Hearing the grisly details, the corners of Qi Yuan’s mouth twitched violently. He had a sudden, overwhelming urge to kick Situ Yun—this self-proclaimed genius and absolute pig teammate—straight into the afterlife. This guy wasn’t here to
After a moment of silent contemplation, Ji Yuntian narrowed his eyes. He had made his decision. “Since he is Chan’er’s subordinate, leave him to her. Let her manage him herself.” Currently, Ji Chan’er was the junior he held in the highest regard within the entire clan. Barring any unforeseen accidents, his direct granddaughter had a
The following day. Qi Yuan emerged from his night of cultivation. His eyes snapped open, glowing with a reddish-gold light that surged like molten sunfire. A faint, archaic aura—profound and mysterious—drifted off his body. “The Jade Record of Supreme Mystery truly lives up to its reputation as the Saint Sect’s highest inheritance. I spent a
As Qi Yuan approached, the blood drained from the speaking disciple’s face, leaving him pale as ash. He stammered, his teeth nearly chattering. “Qi… Junior Brother Qi… uh, no! Lord Qi! This little brother truly didn’t mean to offend! You… you are a magnanimous figure, please spare me!” The others were in no better state.
The next day. Led by a stoic maidservant, Chen Huai arrived at a spacious, opulent hall. He was trembling like a leaf in a storm. “Reporting to the Master. This is the Outer Sect Disciple you requested, Chen Huai. As per your instructions, this servant brought him here the moment he returned to the Sect.”
Meanwhile. Qi Yuan, completely unaware that Ji Chan’er had just “avenged” his self-inflicted slavery, stood outside his courtyard. He gazed at the desolate, lifeless surroundings, and a faint sense of melancholy washed over him. This life… truly, is as lonely as snow! Ever since the “incident” where he massacred everyone in sight, no fellow disciples
Hearing the request, Piao Genshuo wore an expression that said, “You’ve come to the right person.” He slapped his chest with a resounding thud, projecting absolute confidence. “Brother Qi, rest assured! Between us brothers, there’s no need for formalities. Your problem is my problem.” “To be honest, I am on very close terms with Senior
Seeing that Qi Yuan seemed to genuinely appreciate his “vision,” Liu Qi’s excitement boiled over. He couldn’t wait to show off his innovative masterpieces. “Fellow Daoist Qi, feast your eyes on this! I call it the Easy Cultivation Pill. No matter your realm, a single pill provides a massive surge in energy—equivalent to three full
“This matter is bizarre. It has turned the Pill Saint Sect completely upside down.” Liu Qi paused deliberately, letting the suspense hang in the air, before leaning in and lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “You must not tell Master that I told you this. If he finds out, he’ll skin me alive.” Seeing
Shen Honglian narrowed her phoenix eyes, her gaze sweeping over Ji Chan’er with intense scrutiny. After a long silence, she finally gave a slight nod, her fingers absentmindedly toying with the diamond-shaped artifact. “Speak plainly,” she commanded, her tone laced with a hint of surprise. “You did not come all this way just to deliver
Chapter 181: Are Your Pills Guaranteed to Be the Real Deal? Not long after. Pill Saint Immortal Market. Guided by Liu Qi, Qi Yuan finally met the legendary “Senior Sister Zu”—Zu Xianxian. She appeared to be no older than twelve or thirteen, dressed in a light yellow padded dress that made her look soft and
Chapter 182: Spirit Grass Lives Matter “It’s simple logic,” Qi Yuan began slowly, his tone measured. “Senior Ancestor is a Pill Saint; his alchemy techniques are peerless. Even a basic Qi Gathering Pill refined by his hand would possess a quality far superior to anything else on the market.” “Any knowledgeable alchemist would recognize such
Chapter 183: Such Rich and Varied Hobbies “Underground?” Zu Xianxian blinked, her face full of confusion. “You mean the thief burrowed their way in?” Beside her, Liu Qi shook his head, his expression firm. “Impossible. We can ignore other areas, but the Spirit Medicine Garden was specifically chosen for its rich geomantic location. Several major
Chapter 184: The Most Dangerous Place is the Safest Place A short while later. Pill Saint Immortal Market. Staring at the three large, garish characters for “Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion” hanging above the entrance, Qi Yuan’s mouth twitched. He subconsciously glanced down at the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Talisman in his hand, then back up
Chapter 185: Old Fart, You Want an Acting Battle? “So, he’s a strict carnivore.” Hearing this, the crowd of Spirit Grass dolls finally relaxed, their gazes shifting from fear to curiosity. Lord Ginseng rose from his grand master’s chair, made a show of patting non-existent dust from his brocade robes, and slowly sauntered over to
Chapter 186: Pulling Off a Big One “Haha! Excellent!” Lord Ginseng stroked his beard with immense satisfaction. Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike him, and he leaned forward excitedly. “Since the Spirit Grass Gang is officially established, we can no longer act like a disorderly mob. We need rules. Military Advisor, I entrust the drafting
Chapter 187: Is It Too Much to Ask for a Little Service Fee? Soon, the inaugural meeting of the Spirit Grass Gang concluded in an atmosphere of flourishing revolutionary zeal. During the session, Gang Leader Old Ginseng made an executive decision: the gang would shift its strategic focus entirely to the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary. This
Chapter 188: Some Trivial Investigations Not long after. Pill Saint Immortal Market. Qi Yuan stepped into a sprawling, extravagantly luxurious estate that swallowed up nearly half a street in the exorbitant real estate market of the Immortal Market. The scale was magnificent, a testament to obscene wealth. At its core stood a towering pavilion, dozens
Chapter 189: She-Devil, We’ll Fight You to the Death! Sensing Qi Yuan’s confusion, Yu Yannian took a deep breath to steady his trembling hands. His expression turned solemn as he explained. “To be honest, these four Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Kings were personally planted by the Founding Patriarch of the Pill Saint Sect. The Patriarch held a
Chapter 190: Snatching Pills from a Dog’s Mouth Led by Zu Xianxian, Qi Yuan smoothly entered the Pill Saint Sect—a place shrouded in mystery for most outside cultivators. The landscape was a breathtaking tapestry of layered mountains and towering ancient trees. Even the air here was thick with the scent of medicinal herbs, each breath
Chapter 191: He’s Dead Meat Seeing the conversation veering dangerously off course, Qi Yuan remembered his original purpose. He cleared his throat lightly to regain attention and bowed with practiced respect. “Senior Zu, this Junior came to visit today with a presumptuous request. I wish to ask Senior to refine a batch of Heaven-Mending Pills.”
Chapter 192: Damn, This Is Aimed at Me! The moment Qi Yuan stepped into the inner hall, a thick, coppery stench of blood assaulted his senses. Startled, he looked up and froze. The floor was littered with corpses. Or rather, pieces of corpses. The bodies had been evenly diced into uniform chunks and scattered across
Chapter 193: Tell Me the Truth, Are You a Spy from the Righteous Path? He detected me? Having been forced to reveal herself, Shen Xingxuan frowned. Her beautiful sapphire eyes locked onto Qi Yuan, filled with a mix of shock and suspicion. “You are the Outer Sect’s ‘Big Qi’?” She vaguely recalled hearing someone announce
Chapter 194: There’s No Trouble I, Situ Yun, Can’t Solve “What… did I just see?” Witnessing the scene before them, the Enforcement Disciples stood frozen in place, as if struck by a paralyzing curse. Their minds descended into a brief, profound state of existential confusion. Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed
Chapter 195: A Complete and Utter Madman! Hearing Situ Yun’s confident promise over the transmission talisman, Qi Yuan finally relaxed. His mood brightened considerably. It seems I underestimated Situ Yun. An Inner Sect disciple really does have far more energy and influence than a lowly Outer Sect disciple like me. With his mind at ease,
Chapter 196: A Very Heavy Idol Burden Not long after. Blood Refining Peak, outside Cave Mansion A-1. “Brother Qi, I’m not trying to scare you, but the trouble you’ve caused this time is catastrophic. Even my Clan Uncle can’t protect you from this. Run. Just run for your life.” “Also… I was never here. Do
Chapter 197: This Matter Is Actually a Misunderstanding A short while later. The tranquility of Blood Refining Peak was shattered by a sudden, violent gale. Streaks of light tore through the sky as hundreds of demonic cultivators descended like a swarm of angry hornets. Their expressions were cold, their eyes burning with fury, and their
Chapter 198: Fairy Ji, Rest Assured, I Promise Not to Cause Trouble Realizing she had absolutely no way to deal with the man in front of her, Shen Xingxuan finally broke. She was born noble, raised as the jewel of her clan, and treated with reverence by everyone she met. When had she ever suffered
Chapter 199: Do You Know What You Missed? The next day. Nether Fiend Sect, Inner Sect. A lavishly decorated guest hall. Qi Yuan woke from his cultivation trance. The space beside him was empty, the beauty long gone. However, the soft brocade sheets still held faint wisps of an elegant fragrance, a lingering reminder that
Chapter 200: Code Name Pangolin At the same time. Qi Yuan found a secluded spot to change into a nondescript black robe and altered his facial features. Only then did he leisurely descend from the mountain housing Ji Chan’er’s cave. He had learned his lesson. In a treacherous place like the Nether Fiend Sect, paranoia
Chapter 201: I Wasn’t Forced, They Just Gave Too Much After obtaining the information he wanted from Xu Qingquan, Qi Yuan took his leave. However, as he arrived at the front hall, he saw a familiar figure standing at the counter selecting medicinal herbs. “Millennium Snow Ganoderma, Jiaye Flower, Xiuxian Grass… and wrap up all
Chapter 202: The Other One Is Me Pretending “Why are you asking these questions?” Linghu Gao eyed Qi Yuan warily, suspicion written all over his face. “Does my employer have anything to do with you selling materials?” “Of course it does.” Qi Yuan smiled professionally, adopting the earnest tone of a dedicated salesman. “Master Linghu,
Chapter 203: Two Puzzles Just after leaving the market, Qi Yuan received an urgent message from Ji Chan’er telling him to return to the cave immediately. Her tone was unusually serious. He quickly found a secluded spot, restored his appearance as “Big Qi,” and vanished. Moments later, he landed in front of Ji Chan’er’s Inner
Chapter 204: How Should This Problem Be Solved? Damn. Isn’t this elementary school arithmetic? Staring at the “mysterious, profound” stone tablet, Qi Yuan’s expression twisted into something indescribable. No wonder no one had cracked it in ten thousand years. The so-called “divine symbols” were just a string of crooked Arabic numerals and basic operators: plus,
Chapter 205: Bro, Isn’t Your Train of Thought Just Too Bizarre? “Junior Sister Shen, Big Qi was brought here by me. Whether he is qualified is not for you to decide.” Ji Chan’er stepped in front of Qi Yuan without hesitation, her voice cool. “Furthermore, the Sect Leader’s decree states that any disciple may attempt
Chapter 206: Sorry to Disappoint Everyone “You have done very well.” The Mission Hall Master nodded approvingly, his gaze warm as he looked at Qi Yuan. “The Sect Leader decreed that any disciple who solves a puzzle will be instantly rewarded with 100,000 contribution points. In a few days, additional pills and treasures will be
Chapter 207: Situ Yan’s Invitation Several days later. By the time Qi Yuan emerged from his cultivation trance, the sun was already high in the sky. He hadn’t been idle. Aside from “studying transformation techniques” with a certain demoness, he had spent most of his time practicing the foundational demonic art, the Seven Evils True
Chapter 208: Did All the Nutrients Go into Growing Your Body? Situ Yan’s cave estate was a testament to extreme wealth. Adorned with gold and jade, it boasted a dedicated top-tier Spirit Gathering Formation, making the spiritual energy inside thick and intoxicating. It was no less impressive than Qi Yuan’s own Holy Scion residence back
Chapter 209: This Isn’t Scientific! The women were undeniably glamorous. They had cultivation bases and dazzling looks, but Qi Yuan saw right through them. They were flashy counterfeits, forcibly propped up by pills. Their Qi was chaotic and impure, lacking the refined aura of true cultivation. Worse, most of them had undergone cosmetic alterations. The
Chapter 210: The Last Banquet Was Enjoyed by Both Host and Guests, Nothing Happened Time passed. Nether Fiend Sect. Inner Sect, Situ Yan’s Cave Estate. Qi Yuan woke slowly from his stupor. His head throbbed with a dull ache, forcing him to shake it vigorously. He frowned, his vision swimming. “What happened?” He struggled to
Chapter 211: The Saint Sect Is the Force Qi Yuan Truly Pledges Allegiance To! Shortly after. On the outskirts of the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary. Inside a dark, secluded underground cave. Qi Yuan arrived at the rendezvous point. He glanced around the cavern, but neither the old ginseng nor the gaggle of grass spirit dolls were
Chapter 212: Heavenly Dipper Spirit-Binding Array, Activate! “Let’s set off right now!” After finalizing their grand heist, the old ginseng triumphantly flicked its sleeves, ready to lead its army of grass spirit dolls on a glorious charge toward the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary. Seeing this, Qi Yuan hastily reached out and grabbed it. “Hold on, Gang
Chapter 213: I’d Rather Die Than Speak! Bzzzt! Massive pillars of Formation energy erupted into the night sky, weaving together like a heaven-encompassing net that instantly locked down the entire region. Before the Grass Spirit Gang could even process their panic, the ambient energy solidified. Thick, glowing chains shot out from the void, ruthlessly binding
Chapter 214: Has Your Senior Brother Developed Mental Issues? After wrapping up their previous discussion, Daoist Hengzhen’s expression shifted. He gave Qi Yuan a deeply peculiar look. “Disciple, what exactly happened to your Senior Brother?” “After he returned to the Sect a while ago, it was as if he had become an entirely different person.
Chapter 215: What Bad Intentions Could This Little Grand-Disciple Have? The momentary vertigo faded, and Qi Yuan’s boots hit solid stone. Stepping forward, he quickly realized the pavilion was an incredibly high-tier spatial artifact housing an entire pocket dimension. The interior was breathtakingly vast. An eternal, seven-colored luminescence bathed the floating mountains and rivers in
Chapter 216: You’re Not Thinking of Making Some Strange Requests, Are You? Seeing Qi Yuan’s supreme confidence, Ling Yu actually hesitated. Her tone turned grave as she issued a final warning. “Little grand-disciple, are you truly not afraid that my Ten Directions Illusion Talisman will shatter your Dao Heart?” Truthfully, she had only pulled out
Chapter 217: This Disciple Absolutely Does Not Covet the Demonic Cultivator’s Beauty Qi Yuan was already all too familiar with Grandmaster Ling Yu’s demonic nature. If he dared to push his luck and climb the pole she just offered, she would undoubtedly educate him with extreme physical prejudice. Faced with her teasing, he merely offered
Chapter 218: An Unprecedented, Colossal Crisis Deep within the Ji Clan’s Ancestral Land. A stunning woman in a flowing purple dress swept through the resplendent, golden corridors of the palace. Mystical light gathered beneath her feet, leaving trails of ethereal mist with every hurried step. It was Ji Chan’er, the eldest legitimate daughter of the
Chapter 219: No Room for Negotiation? As Ji Chan’er reeled from the sudden, catastrophic news, Ji Yuntian’s expression turned incredibly grim. “In his youth, the Ancestor practiced an extremely unorthodox and violent Cultivation technique—a forbidden method that permanently sacrificed lifespan in exchange for explosive bursts of power.” “Although he abandoned that sinister art centuries ago,
Chapter 220: Even If the Demon Ancestor Reincarnated, His Grace Would Not Match Yours by Half “Hmph!” Situ Yan sneered, her chin raised in a display of absolute, righteous defiance. “Big Qi, you hid your cultivation and painstakingly infiltrated The Saint Sect. You are clearly plotting something massive! I, Situ Yan, am a dignified Legacy
Chapter 221: Legacy Disciple Situ, Please Behave Yourself, I Am Not That Kind of Person Realizing that Ji Chan’er was literally on her way, Qi Yuan hurriedly stuffed the communication talisman away. He immediately dispelled the Qi restrictions binding Situ Yan and grabbed her by the shoulders, his expression deadly serious. “Legacy Disciple Situ, listen
Chapter 222: Isn’t This Intelligence Just Too Heaven-Defying? After Situ Yan sashayed out of the courtyard, Ji Chan’er reined in her murderous aura. She turned to Qi Yuan, her eyes softening with genuine concern. “She didn’t do anything to you, did she?” “Uh…” Qi Yuan shook his head, looking inexplicably guilty. “No. She had literally
Chapter 223: This Subordinate Will Capture That Bastard and Tear Him to Pieces! A brief silence settled over the room. Taking a deep breath, Ji Chan’er finally decided to lay all her cards on the table. Since Qi Yuan had already accurately deduced the clan’s darkest secret, continuing to hide the details was entirely pointless.
Chapter 224: Who Can’t Brag? Misinterpreting her terrifying, icy silence, Situ Yun assumed his boss was simply dissatisfied with his level of violent commitment. Desperate to prove his worth, he hurriedly doubled down. “From this moment on, this subordinate swears a blood oath! I am irreconcilably opposed to that bastard Big Qi! I vow to
Chapter 225: A Sky-High Fortune Qi Yuan popped the cork. Resting quietly at the bottom of the jade bottle were four crystal-clear, perfectly round azure pills. Dense, intricate spirit patterns swirled beneath their surface, radiating the profound, mesmerizing beauty unique to the absolute pinnacle of alchemy. Even from several yards away, Linghu Gao could sense
Chapter 226: May Cause Some Distress to the Pill Taker Entering the private alchemy lab, Linghu Gao flicked his sleeves, instantly activating several layers of high-grade Formations to completely isolate the room and shield it from heavenly divination. Only then did he lean in, lowering his voice into a hushed, conspiratorial whisper. “Young Friend, you
Chapter 227: The Overlord President, the Ji Clan Ancestor Ji Clan Ancestral Land. Guided by Linghu Gao, Qi Yuan soon stood face-to-face with the Ji Clan Patriarch—Ji Yuntian, the grandfather of his favorite little demoness. Ji Yuntian sported a bristling beard and glaring, tiger-like eyes. He practically oozed domineering malice. Yet, looking at him just
Chapter 228: The Pill Takes Effect, the Ji Clan Is Saved! Under the gazes of the two in the hall, Qi Yuan unhurriedly cleared his throat, then took out a marked jade bottle from his storage bracelet and slowly said: “This pill is called the Prolonging Life and Enhancing Longevity Pill, created by a Pill
Chapter 229: And He Still Has to Thank Me The atmosphere in the grand hall didn’t just quiet down; it froze solid. Ji Yuntian stared blankly at the eldritch horror unfolding before him, his mind wiped clean of all thought. He finally realized what was wrong. His Ancestor looked like he was suffering from severe
Chapter 230: Could You Leave Your Name, Little Friend? The moment they emerged from the Ji Clan Ancestor’s secluded dwelling, Ji Yuntian immediately composed himself, his expression turning warm and amiable as he addressed Qi Yuan. “Just now, I was momentarily overcome by agitation. My conduct was abrupt, and my tone perhaps a bit too
Chapter 231: Heavenly Dao Qi, Mysterious Secret Realm The moment Qi Yuan stepped out of the Ji Clan’s treasure vault, his hands blurred through a series of rapid hand seals. Whoosh! He cast an Earth Evasion Technique, plunging straight into the ground. Enveloped in a protective shroud of Mysterious Yellow Earth energy, Qi Yuan shot
Chapter 232: A Spiritual Treasure Chooses Its Master After a moment of deliberation, the female cultivator in the green dress made her decision. Her expression hardened as she issued a solemn command. “Since Junior Sister Bai senses something is wrong, we proceed with extreme caution. For the rest of this exploration, we move as a
Chapter 233: Big Qi is Also a Spy of the Demonic Sect! “That is the Yang Fire Lightning Tribulation. I wonder which Fellow Daoist is undergoing their Soul Formation Tribulation here?” Tu Ruoxu gazed at the crimson lightning coiling like dragons within the thunderclouds. His eyes narrowed, not with fear, but with the burning curiosity
Chapter 234: Quick, Quick, Quick, Put the Little Sword Away! At the dead center of the heavenly tribulation. Boom! Rumble! Thunder rolled across the heavens like war drums. The sky was oppressed by a ceiling of ink-black clouds, churning like a furious sea threatening to capsize the world. The power of the Heavenly Dao gathered
Chapter 235: We Have a Massive Lead; It’s Impossible to Lose The sky was a boiling cauldron of tribulation clouds. After a brief, suffocating pause, the thirty-sixth wave of lightning crashed down. Blinding white light instantly bleached the world, turning the pitch-black wilderness into a realm of pure incandescence for a hundred miles. A pillar
Chapter 236: I Have Plenty of Experience with This Kind of Thing “What the hell… is going on?” Piao Genshuo stared blankly at the chaotic anomaly erupting in the distance. Just seconds ago, he had been practically vibrating with eagerness to charge in and make an arrest. Now, his brain had simply flatlined. Are you
Chapter 237: Going Too Far, Truly Going Too Far! Tu Ruoxu had fully regained his composure. Completely ignoring a certain idiot who was currently winking and making frantic faces at him, he turned his gaze toward Qi Yuan. With an air of serene dignity, he said, “I consider myself well-read and knowledgeable about worldly affairs,
Chapter 238: The Trash Talk of Justice At the same time. Within the Mirror World. Bang! After stepping through the final gate, the scene before Bai Xirou’s eyes shattered with a deafening roar, dissolving into cascading layers of escaping light. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the original Mirror Hall.
Chapter 239: Sitting Up in Shock on the Deathbed: The Villain is Actually Me! Half a month slipped by in the blink of an eye. The Nether Fiend Sect’s Moluo God-Slaughtering Tower trial was an event that usually only occurred once every ten years. It was open to everyone—from the lowest Outer Sect Disciple to
Chapter 240: Didn’t Your Elders Teach You Manners? Realizing that his fearsome reputation was already set in stone—and that attempting to clear his name would likely only make him look more like a manipulative sociopath—Qi Yuan abandoned any thoughts of PR damage control. He quietly slipped away from the gossiping crowd. Despite the sea of
Chapter 241: This Demonic Sect Leader is Actually Kinda Hot Wait, my righteous verbal cannon is actually this overpowered? Amidst the deathly silence, Qi Yuan was genuinely startled. Ever since he managed to Awaken his innate divine ability, the Word of Punishing Sin, he hadn’t found a single opportunity to test it out. Naturally, he
Chapter 242: The Trial Begins, Abnormal Odds An instant later, Qi Yuan felt the crushing weight of the Sect Leader’s gaze sweep in his direction. Heart skipping a beat, he immediately tucked his chin, desperately trying to blend into the sea of bodies. “Hall Master Xu, let us begin,” Shen Honglian commanded from her throne
Chapter 243: Grinding for System Points? I Have No Shame! Moluo God-Slaughtering Tower. Sixtieth floor. “Shatter!” With a guttural roar, Wu Hengshan’s lean frame violently expanded, dense demonic energy erupting from his pores. He swung his long blade in a vicious arc. Swish! A crescent of blood-red blade light cleaved through the empty air, neatly
Chapter 244: Isn’t This the Legendary Clash of the Weaklings? Wu Hengshan’s spectacular run had set an impossibly high bar. Compared to his first-place finish, the subsequent trials were painfully mundane. Four or five unlucky bastards even got themselves ripped to shreds by the tower spirits, their cultivation and lives snuffed out in front of
Chapter 245: “Body Refining Maniac” Just as all the Demonic Cultivators were utterly baffled, Xu Wanchuan, the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall, suddenly had an epiphany. His eyes widened in manic excitement as he announced, “This seat remembers now! It’s the Mortal Transformation Pill!” “This Big Qi must have secretly ingested a Mortal
Chapter 246: When a Body Cultivator Learns Martial Arts, No One Can Stop Him While the spectators outside assumed Qi Yuan had finally hit a wall, the man himself was just casually browsing the system shop. Staring at the dazzling array of rare, overpowered treasures, Qi Yuan forcibly choked down the urge to go on
Chapter 247: Six-Armed Asura, Baji Iron Mountain Lean BANG! A brutal whip kick slammed squarely into the humanoid tower spirit’s face. In that same fraction of a second, the terrifying, explosive kinetic energy coiled within the strike detonated. CRACK! Accompanied by the sickening crunch of shattering bone, the peak Dao Integration realm tower spirit crumpled
Chapter 248: To Go Up or Not, That Is the Question As the solitary figure within the Moluo God-Slaughtering Tower continued his relentless ascent, butchering one Asura Formation Spirit after another, the atmosphere outside the tower completely solidified. The air grew suffocatingly silent. Countless Demonic Cultivators held their breath, their eyes glued to the projection
Chapter 249: Hehe, You’re Stuck, Aren’t You? “Look, he stopped!” Seeing the solitary figure halt at the base of the final staircase, the Demonic Cultivators outside erupted into a flurry of chatter. “Looks like the kid is finally throwing in the towel. It makes sense. There’s a Great Ascension realm tower spirit on the 999th
Chapter 250: Even I, a Pervert, Find This Perverted “Ahhhh! You infuriate this King!” Seeing Qi Yuan completely relaxed and utterly unafraid, the Asura King was sent into a blinding rage. Thick blue veins bulged wildly across its forehead. The monstrous muscles spanning its massive frame coiled and strained as it exerted every ounce of
Chapter 251: What in the World is Happening?! *Swoosh!* Before he could even process the new scripture that had appeared in his mind, a powerful repulsive force surged from the Moluo God-Slaughtering Tower, ejecting him in an instant. The world spun into a blur, and when it settled, Qi Yuan found himself standing just outside
Chapter 252: That Big Qi Guy Really Isn’t Human! Qi Yuan stood frozen, his eyes blown wide in sheer panic. Beside him, Chen Tianhuan and Wu Hengshan practically vibrated with ecstasy. They threw themselves to the ground, pressing their foreheads against the cold floor. “Thank you for this supreme grace, Sect Leader! We disciples accept!”
Chapter 253: Even If Your Grandfather Came, He’d Have to Thank Me At that exact moment. Within a dimly lit cave dwelling deep inside the Nether Fiend Sect’s inner sanctum. “Senior Brother Chen. To what do I owe the displeasure of this midnight intrusion?” Wu Hengshan glared at his uninvited guest, his voice rough and
Chapter 254: She Really Got a Bargain This Time! “A meditation cushion?” Ji Chan’er curiously reached out and took the cushion from Qi Yuan’s hands. She ran her fingers over the fabric. It radiated a gentle, soothing warmth without a hint of scorching heat. She clicked her tongue in appreciation. “I never thought Solar Flame
Chapter 255: How about… I give you another one? As Qi Yuan strolled through the bustling grounds, he drew the stares of countless Demonic Cultivators. Their gazes were a complex cocktail of wariness, reverence, and barely suppressed envy. After his explosive debut in the trial yesterday and his immediate elevation to the Sect Leader’s personal
Chapter 256: My Family’s Patriarch is Currently Cultivating the Turtle Breathing Life-Nourishing Technique Qi Yuan was already moving. The instant Shen Xingxuan lunged at him, he skipped back, opening the distance between them. It only took one sentence to instantly douse the frenzied blonde cat’s murderous rage. “Senior Sister Shen, hold your fire. Let’s not
Chapter 257: If You’re Not Going to Eat Properly, Then Nobody Eats! The Ji Clan Ancestral Land. Floating Ao Palace. The vast palace hall was packed to capacity, a veritable sea of guests gathered to offer their birthday congratulations. Among them were envoys from rival sects and the other two great families, as well as
Chapter 258: This Disciple Merely Wanted to Eat the Feast in Peace The sudden eruption of violence severed the banquet’s lively clamor like a guillotine. A suffocating, deathly silence descended upon the hall. You could hear a pin drop. “Big Qi, you… you fucking lunatic!” Shen Junting finally snapped out of his stunned stupor, his
Chapter 259: Why Aren’t You Hurrying to Invite Young Master Qi to Sit at the Main Table? Countless guests couldn’t resist sneaking terrified glances at Ji Yuntian. The Ji Clan Patriarch’s face was the color of bruised iron. Thick veins throbbed violently against his temples, signaling a man who had reached the absolute limits of
Chapter 260: You Like Palace Intrigue? I’ll Serve Your Whole Family in One Pot! Shortly after. Inside a heavily warded, secret study. Ji Yuntian stared across the mahogany desk at the perfectly composed young man. On the surface, the Clan Leader was a placid lake; underneath, a category-five hurricane was tearing his sanity apart. Just
Chapter 261: Plunder by Force Meanwhile. It wasn’t until the sun dipped low in the western sky that Ji Chan’er finally managed to untangle herself from her endless list of chores, preparing to go pay her respects to her grandfather, Ji Yuntian. After she had offered her initial birthday greetings to the Ancestor that morning,
Chapter 262: Let’s Make It a Round Number Ji Chan’er swallowed her boiling fury. She raised her head, sweeping a cold, resolute gaze across the assembled Elders in the hall. “The truth is, the vast majority of those Spirit Stones do not belong to me, and I have no right to touch them,” she stated,
Chapter 263: This Completely Fits His Style Outer Sect. Blood Refining Peak. Just as the Ji Clan descended into total, panicked chaos, the architect of their misery, Qi Yuan, was taking a leisurely stroll back to his cave dwelling on Blood Refining Peak. Originally, Qi Yuan had zero intention of getting tangled in the Demonic
Chapter 264: Friends, Are You Here to Kill Me? Grade A Courtyard No. 1. Hearing the target’s footsteps approach the door, the three assassins hidden in the shadows instinctively tightened their grips on their blood-red daggers. They primed their spiritual energy, ready to deliver a synchronized, fatal strike the instant the door swung open. These
Chapter 265: Could it be… This is the legendary Innate Demon Child? The screams were so genuinely, viscerally agonizing that Qi Yuan instinctively froze for a microsecond. Then, his face dropped. Abandoning the courtyard and the three dead assassins, he blurred into motion, sprinting toward the source of the horrific noise. Within seconds, he found
Chapter 266: There’s Absolutely Nothing Wrong With What You Did Seeing the horrified, deer-in-the-headlights expressions on the faces of the Law Enforcement squad, Qi Yuan knew exactly what they were thinking. He immediately adopted a look of earnest innocence. “Deputy Hall Master Situ, please, you must not misunderstand!” He gestured vaguely at the two mangled
Chapter 267: Junior Brother Qi, Please Accept Our Condolences The sudden arrival of the Demonic Sect Leader nearly gave Qi Yuan a heart attack. His original plan had been to track down Shen Xingxuan and subtly gauge her Master’s attitude toward fratricide before making a move. Being caught red-handed at the crime scene by his
Chapter 268: Staying Overnight at the Demonic Sect Headquarters “Your subordinates take their leave.” After dismissing Situ Kong and his heavily perspiring Law Enforcement squad, Shen Honglian’s expression cooled. She turned her gaze to Qi Yuan, a strange, complex feeling stirring in her chest. While she knew perfectly well that Wu Hengshan and Chen Tianhuan
Chapter 269: Mission Refresh, Progenitor Blood Three leisurely days passed. Regarding the sudden, bloody downsizing of the Sect Leader’s new disciples from three to one, the Law Enforcement Hall and Sect Leader Shen Honglian released a highly detailed, official report blaming phantom “assassins.” Absolutely no one bought it. What a joke. Since when did the
Chapter 270: What’s Wrong with This World? Meanwhile, at the Supreme Mystery Sanctuary, atop Jade Flower Peak. Inside a secluded, elegant pavilion, Bai Xirou roused from her cultivation trance. She let out a long, slow breath, a glint of deep satisfaction flashing in her striking eyes. She had reached the late Golden Core stage. Ever
Chapter 271: If the Pill Has a Problem, Finding the Alchemist Who Refined It Is Definitely Right “Impossible!” The artifact spirit’s pride was deeply stung by Bai Xirou’s skepticism. The young girl’s projection scowled, her little face tight with indignation. “My divine light pierces through antiquity and illuminates the present! It bridges heaven and earth!
Chapter 272: Senior, Were You Also Scammed by That Evil Pill Master? Just as Qi Yuan was pondering how to track down Liu Qi, five furious figures tore through the sky, landing heavily near the ruins. Curiously, one of them appeared to be a rosy-cheeked, six-year-old toddler. They radiated a murderous intensity, clearly out for
Chapter 273: Just Now, I Think I Saw My Great-Grandma Not long after, Qi Yuan arrived in front of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion within the Pill Saint Immortal Market. The sight before him immediately caught him off guard. Unlike his last visit, the Pavilion had expanded several times over. The attendants greeting guests at
Chapter 274: Did Someone Really Use That Pill to Extend Their Life? Realizing the commotion was drawing stares from the other patrons, the madam practically materialized at the table to run damage control. “Master Yuan, please, quell your anger!” she pleaded, flashing a placating smile. “This boy is a new hire, a complete blockhead who
Chapter 275: Is That Something a Human Would Do? Before the alchemist could continue stroking his own ego, Qi Yuan swiftly cut him off. “Brother Liu, what I actually want to ask is if there’s any way to alleviate the deceleration effect of the Longevity Pill.” Liu Qi instantly deflated. “Brother Qi… I don’t exactly
Chapter 276: Not a Fierce Dragon Would Cross the River A short while later. Unable to withstand “Pill God” Liu’s relentless, pathetic begging, Qi Yuan finally caved and agreed to head upstairs to meet this Die Xiang. He had no choice. They were bros, after all. Of course, the primary reason was that his own
Chapter 277: Even When Given the Chance, You’re Still Useless! A short while later. On the third floor of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion. “Holy Scion Ji, Die Xiang’s private chambers are just ahead,” the madam whispered, her tone reverent. “She is the most breathtaking courtesan our Pavilion has ever hosted. The moment she debuted,
Chapter 278: After All That, Turns Out He’s an Expelled Disciple While Liu Qi was practically drooling over the gracefully dancing demoness, Qi Yuan’s attention was entirely focused on the plain-looking woman in white playing the zither. Her slender, pale fingers danced across the strings, coaxing out a melody as refreshing and intoxicating as a
Chapter 279: I Just Came to Say Hello, I Absolutely Do Not Have Any Impure Intentions Having figured out that the “Pill God” was nothing more than an expelled disciple, Die Xiang instantly lost all interest. She slipped into a polite, formulaic routine, offering him nothing but perfunctory smiles. After downing a few more cups
Chapter 280: New Side Mission: Alchemist Competition A moment later, an old woman wearing a black veil materialized from the unnatural darkness as if she had stepped out of thin air. She was short, emaciated, and possessed a sharp, hawk-like nose above deep-set, calculating eyes. An aura of countless, razor-thin black feathers seemed to swirl
Chapter 281: Elixir Immortal’s Mystery [Mission Objective: Achieve a top-three ranking in the Alchemist Competition.] [Mission Difficulty: 5 Stars (Extremely Difficult)] [Mission Reward: 20,000 Counterattack Points; Dharma Treasure-grade alchemy furnace ‘Taiyi Star-Refining Furnace’; 1x System-Assisted Formula Completion Token; Elementary Alchemy Expertise; Unlocks the subsequent series mission ‘Elixir Immortal’s Mystery’.] [Note: This is a Side Mission.
Chapter 282: Isn’t This an Insult? After leaving Headmaster Shao Xuanji’s private chambers, Xiao Yueni took a moment to steady her breathing and calm her lingering emotions. Her delicate figure gracefully lifted off the ground, transforming into a streak of clear, iridescent mist as she flew toward the Tianshu Pavilion. The Tianshu Pavilion was situated
Chapter 283: Rogue Cultivator Xu Fu Listening to Martial Aunt Meng recount the glorious, blood-soaked atrocities of the demonic fiend “Big Qi,” Xiao Yueni’s beautiful eyes widened in absolute horror. Slaughtering entire mountain peaks for blood sacrifices, extracting souls to refine evil artifacts, and exterminating entire families? Those were heinous crimes, yes, but they were
Chapter 284: Alchemy Is Just Too Simple! Stepping into the side hall, Qi Yuan was immediately hit by a wave of blistering heat. A batch of ten alchemists were already stationed at their respective stone podiums, their faces illuminated by the roaring, crimson flames of their pill furnaces. A crowd of anxious spectators had gathered
Chapter 285: The Emotionless Alchemy Machine Transaction complete, Qi Yuan casually skimmed the pill recipe. Mirroring the surrounding alchemists, he reached into his storage bracelet and retrieved a cauldron. The ancient, heavily textured vessel was covered in intricate, glowing spirit patterns. The moment it hit the stone podium, a massive commotion swept through the hall.
Chapter 286: Not Robbing Him Once Would Be a Disgrace to Myself! With the minor drama handled, the assessments inside the hall resumed. Having secured his pass for the preliminary round, Qi Yuan lingered in the venue, perfectly content to munch on metaphorical melon seeds and watch the show. He had just wrung some useful
Chapter 287: Do You Want to Become the Saint Sect’s Saint Son? Several days later. The Saint Sect. A meditation chamber in Miluo Palace. Beneath a priceless, Dharma Treasure-grade alchemy furnace, a deep purple alchemical flame smoldered, bathing the room in a gentle warmth. Judging from the scorch marks and soot stains painting the floor,
Chapter 288: Extreme Haters Make the Best Fans After a brief moment of feigned astonishment, Qi Yuan shook his head vehemently. “Master, please see clearly. Your disciple has just arrived and lacks the qualifications. I have absolutely no intention of coveting the position of Saint Son!” “Oh?” Shen Honglian’s dark brows arched. She scrutinized him,
Chapter 289: A Robust Constitution and Excessive Vitality Shen Xingxuan watched the eccentric old man with growing confusion. They say Grand Elder Peng is a master of Fate Pattern divination, she mused privately. Could he have actually seen through this scoundrel’s true nature? The thought sent a sudden flicker of anxiety through her, and a
Chapter 290: How Can a Man as Dashing as Qi Lang Not Have a Mount? Facing the radiant Situ Yan, Qi Yuan’s face contorted into a bizarre expression. “Senior Sister Situ… are you saying you did all of this?” “Of course!” Situ Yan beamed, a sweet, fragrant smile blooming on her flawless, jade-like face. “This
Chapter 291: From Now On, Your Name is [Skinny Dog] “Vile beast! Who are you calling a bad woman?!” Si Tu Yan’s willow-leaf brows arched in fury. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a crimson, tasseled ribbon that shot out, binding the little Qilin and hoisting it into the air. “Bad woman! If
Chapter 292: Death Arena With the cave dwelling finally renovated, Qi Yuan couldn’t care less about taking a grand tour. Instead, he dumped the Abyssal Condensation Sword onto a certain Skinny Dog, leaving them on guard duty. Taking to the sky, he flew straight out of Gaotu Peak at a leisurely pace, heading toward one
Chapter 293: The Organizers Sure Know How to Put on a Show *CRACK!* With the host’s command, the iron bars of the cage imprisoning the Thorn Lizard shot open. The terrifying beast erupted with a ferocious roar, lunging out and gaping its blood-soaked maw to tear into the battle slave opposite it. *BANG! BANG! BANG!*
Chapter 294: A Righteous Man is Never a Slave! After a long, speechless moment, Qi Yuan decided against stepping in just yet. He was going to let these two idiots learn a lasting lesson. Elite disciples of the esteemed Supreme Mystery Sanctuary, reduced to fighting in a demonic sect’s Death Arena. It was utterly humiliating.
Chapter 295: I Want to Fight Ten Under the astonished gazes of countless Demonic Cultivators, a hooded figure in black robes rose from the back rows, gliding effortlessly through the air to land beside the middle-aged Demonic Cultivator presiding over the event. He threw back his hood, revealing the face of a young man. It
Chapter 296: This Twenty-Spirit-Stone Ticket Was an Absolute Steal! Fight *ten* of them?! The words dropped like a boulder in a placid lake, sending a shockwave through the entire arena. The faces of countless Demonic Cultivators twisted in disbelief. A hush fell over the stands, the raucous atmosphere instantly suffocated into a dead, ringing silence.
Chapter 297: The Mob Gets Mobbed *Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!* Amidst the jeers of a crowd hungry for chaos, a stream of new challengers leaped into the arena. Within moments, all ten slots were filled by Legacy Disciples of the demonic sect, forming a tight circle around their target. Each of these disciples had a grim
Chapter 298: I Can Give You a Chance to Live Amidst the deafening wails of countless vengeful spirits, it took mere minutes for the ten Legacy Disciples in the arena to be reduced to blood-drenched, battered messes. “Junior Brother Qi, mercy!” “You win! Put away the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls! I admit defeat!” “Junior
Chapter 299: Is This Man a Devil? Duanmu Huang, Master of the Inspection Hall, knit his brows in a deep furrow. He couldn’t begin to fathom the intentions of the junior standing before him. As the man in charge of the Saint Sect’s intelligence and internal discipline, Duanmu Huang was a figure of immense dread
Chapter 300: Under the Eaves, Even a Beast Must Bow Its Head In a lavishly decorated private chamber, Shen Junting sat with a face ashen and drained of blood. His breathing came in ragged gasps, his wide eyes betraying an unshakable, lingering terror. Born to prestige and blessed with extraordinary talent, he possessed an arrogant
Chapter 301: Such Bearing, Truly Worthy of Being Called a Gold Medal Undercover! Shortly after, Qi Yuan saw Richie Zhang and Lucky Li being escorted over. They had been cleaned up and stuffed into fresh robes. They looked marginally more alive than before, their lips slick with grease. Clearly, the Shen Clan had shown enough
Chapter 302: The Wolfish Ambition of the Nine Serenities Sect “A sky-high conspiracy?” Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow, thoroughly skeptical of the dramatic claim. The Nether River Cult was just a subordinate vassal of the Nine Serenities Sect. Calling them a second-rate power was being generous. Scrape together their entire roster, and they barely had
Chapter 303: Does This World Have Its Own Xu Xian? Shortly after. Under Richie Zhang’s utterly hollow, dead-eyed stare, Lucky Li cleared his throat with great self-importance. His face flushed with excitement as he leaned in. “Brother Pangolin, you have no idea. When we first washed up on that island, everything looked perfectly normal. Those
Chapter 304: He Is Absolutely the Most Suitable to Be Our Situ Family’s Son-in-Law Meanwhile. Situ Clan Ancestral Land. Inside a majestic, towering palace, a middle-aged man in a dark brocade robe slowly lowered the intelligence jade slip in his hand. A rare flicker of astonishment broke through his dignified, stony expression. “An early Golden
Chapter 305: What a Coincidence, Isn’t It? Meanwhile, after flashing the token Zu Chengzhi had given him, Qi Yuan strolled back into The Saint Sect and made his way to the old man’s cave dwelling. “Woof! Woof! Woof!” Before he could even announce his arrival, a fluffy little black dog came bounding out of the
Chapter 306: Whatever Request You Have, Feel Free to Mention It Just as Qi Yuan was about to respond, a commotion broke out at the door. The little black dog from earlier came trotting back into the room, a small crystal vial clamped gently between its jaws. “Blacktooth, how did you get in here?” Zu
Chapter 307: She Actually Reads This Kind of Book? Abyssal Sanctuary. Inside a picturesque sword pavilion where falling petals drifted like snow, Xiao Yueni offered a deep, formal bow to the elegant woman seated before her. “Junior Xiao Yueni pays her respects to Senior Qiu.” “There is no need for such formality, Niece Xiao.” The
Chapter 308: Single by Strength The next day. Pill Saint Immortal Market. Inside a lavishly decorated inn. Hum! A muffled shockwave rolled through the room. Terrifying spiritual pressure exploded outward, causing the defensive restrictions surrounding the walls to violently shudder and hum. Qi Yuan opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of stale air. His
Chapter 309: If This Bro Has No Morals, How Will You Respond? Thanks to his braindead System, Qi Yuan’s fantastic mood was utterly ruined. By now, the iceberg beauty sword immortal had definitely read the smutty romance novel he gave her. Next time they crossed paths, he’d be lucky if she didn’t just draw her
Chapter 310: The Difficulty Really Isn’t Ordinary First place in the Alchemist Competition? Hearing Qi Yuan’s demand, Chu Ren’s polite smile instantly froze. His eyes widened in sheer disbelief. Before this meeting, the President had run through countless scenarios in his head. He was fully prepared to bleed Spirit Stones or hand over priceless artifacts
Chapter 311: Illuminating the Eight Desolations, Controlling Eternity “Exactly.” The envoy from the Nine Serenities Sect nodded, his expression turning sharp and predatory. “The Pill Saint Immortal Market is the wealthiest hub in the Cultivation world. Over half of all global Pill transactions occur there. Factor in the sheer number of high-tier alchemists employed by
Chapter 312: Hard Work Is Impossible, I Only Like to Lie Down and Win After cutting the connection with the communication talisman, Qi Yuan rubbed his chin in thought. He ultimately decided to stick to his current plan. He had finally hooked the President of the Alchemist Association. This was a once-in-a-lifetime VIP backdoor; there
Chapter 313: High-End Formations Often Require the Most Basic Cheating Methods Shortly after. On a white jade platform adorned with ornately carved railings. Whoosh! The massive Formation surrounding the platform activated. Qi Yuan instantly felt a suffocating sealing force descend upon him. The space around them turned incredibly dense, completely isolating the platform from the
Chapter 314: Let’s Write an IOU Liu Qi obediently shuffled into the room. Spotting Zu Chengzhi seated on a woven meditation mat, he immediately dropped into a deep, respectful bow. “This disciple pays his respects to Master.” “Hmph!” Zu Chengzhi let out a cold, furious snort, his beard bristling with anger. “Do not call me
Chapter 315: Xiao Bai’s Transformation, The Future’s Grand Scheme Before Qi Yuan could even process what was happening, a flash of snow-white darted through the open doorway and tackled his leg, hugging his calf in a vice grip. “Dog Master!” a sugary-sweet, incredibly alluring voice cheered. “I did it! I successfully transformed! You aren’t going
Chapter 316: This Organization Is Simply Too Terrifying! After teleporting back to the Five Regions Demon Domain, Qi Yuan didn’t waste a single second. He headed straight for the Ji Clan’s ancestral grounds. After flashing his identity token to the guards, he was quickly escorted to Patriarch Ji Yuntian’s private study. Of course, to the
Chapter 317: Repaying in Kind The Demon Sect. Inside a simple, unadorned cave dwelling nestled beside Miluo Palace. Thick, ethereal steam drifted through the air, carrying the faint scent of lotus flowers. Clear, incredibly warm spiritual spring water bubbled into a square pool, creating gentle, overlapping ripples. A breathtakingly beautiful blonde girl leaned lazily against
Chapter 318: Leading into a Dream Carefully sliding the storage bracelet off Qi Yuan’s limp wrist, Shen Xingxuan’s eyes curved into delighted crescents. She was so thrilled she almost laughed out loud. Unable to wait another second, she immediately injected a thread of her Divine Sense into the spatial ring. A moment later, her triumphant
Chapter 319: This Information Is Simply Too Explosive! Following the sound of the crying, Qi Yuan rounded a corner and saw a short, stout middle-aged man storming out of a bedroom. His face was ashen, his expression twisted in irritation. He snapped an order to the two maids waiting by the door. “The lady has
Chapter 320: Hatred Has Turned into Feelings? Swish! At that exact moment, the illusory projection of Zhu Jiuyin deep within Shen Xingxuan’s dreamscape seemed to sense something. Its massive, spark-lit vertical pupils snapped toward Qi Yuan’s invisible location. In a fraction of a second, Qi Yuan felt an indescribable, taboo gaze rip through the fabric
Chapter 321: Help Me Kill a Person Looking at the normally arrogant, fiercely independent golden kitten acting so incredibly docile and obedient, Qi Yuan couldn’t shake the feeling that he was hallucinating. He had merely peeked into her dreams for a few seconds, yet the famously ice-cold beauty of the Demonic Sect had instantly swung
Chapter 322: This Big Liar! Stepping out of Shen Xingxuan’s cave dwelling, Qi Yuan’s eyes were still a little unfocused. He had to admit, when the famously arrogant, golden-haired kitten dropped the ice-queen routine and acted sweet, it was incredibly charming. Her little mouth was as sweet as honey… He never could have predicted this.
Chapter 323: Even Using the Same Beauty Trap, Truly Worthy of Being Father and Daughter A mission from the Sect Leader? Qi Yuan’s mind immediately went on high alert, but his face remained a mask of flawless, unshakeable loyalty. He bowed deeply. “Master, please issue your command. This disciple will march through fire and boiling
Chapter 324: Young Man, This Clan Leader Advises You Not to Be Too Arrogant This old geezer is a crafty bastard! A full fifty stunningly beautiful women. If Qi Yuan actually agreed to take them, he’d probably be worked to death in bed before the month was out. By the time he recovered, he’d be
Chapter 325: Kirin Sending Sons Returning to his cave dwelling, Qi Yuan saw a figure that looked exactly like a mangy mutt come scrambling over. It offered a pathetic, fawning smile. “Master Qi, you’ve returned! Would you like this lowly one to brew you a pot of tea?” The little Kirin seemed to have recovered
Chapter 326: Fighting Evil is Everyone’s Responsibility Three days later. Pill Saint Immortal Market. In a secluded, elegant courtyard, Xiao Yueni pushed open the door. Her gaze fell upon a figure in plain white standing by the garden pond. Qin Lingxue stood still, her eyes fixed on the frozen surface of the water, lost in
Chapter 327: As the Holy Scion of Tai Xuan, You Can’t Just Stand By and Watch, Right? Sensing the sheer disbelief radiating from the group, Tu Ruoxu offered a bitter, self-deprecating smile. “I’ll be blunt. I’ve crossed paths with that guy before,” Tu Ruoxu confessed. “Let’s just say, even with my recent breakthroughs, if I
Chapter 328: First Battle Victory, Smooth Opening Lu Yifei, the Master of Ruyi Villa, looked the part of a venerable sage. With his lean, refined features and an aura that practically screamed ‘transcendent immortal,’ he could have easily made a killing scamming mortal peasants as a fortune-teller. But Qi Yuan knew better. Beneath that humble,
Chapter 329: Qi Has Always Been Incompatible with Evil Demons and Heretics “Uh…” After listening to the full scope of the plan, Lu Yifei lapsed into a heavy silence, questioning the very foundations of his reality. The Holy Envoy’s thought process was so erratic, so fundamentally unhinged, that it felt like they were operating on
Chapter 330: Why Do These Symptoms Sound So Familiar? Night began to bleed into the sky. Once the “Hunt Big Qi” task force had disbanded for the evening, a shadow—agile as a ghost and twice as sneaky—slipped toward the private chambers of the Exquisite Saintess. The reason he managed to bypass the female sword saint
Chapter 331: Fame and Glory, Today is the Day! Learning from Xiao Yueni that the icy Sword Immortal’s split personality was worsening made Qi Yuan’s eyelids twitch. A heavy sense of unease settled in his gut. He had originally planned to shelve the Main Mission until the Alchemist Competition concluded. Now? Qin Lingxue’s mental instability
Chapter 332: This Plan is Perfect At this moment, the area beneath the gaudy banner was a suffocating wall of bodies. Aside from the snaking lines of young cultivators, a massive crowd of eager onlookers had gathered, practically climbing over each other to get a look. A cultivator who had just secured his jade registration
Chapter 333: My Achievement as the Number One Genius Under Heaven is Secured After his brain finally rebooted from the sheer absurdity of the scene, Qi Yuan snatched a random young man out of the crowd. The youth was practically skipping, clutching a jade registration token to his chest like a newborn babe. “Brother,” Qi
Chapter 334: Don’t Even Think About Making Me Take Responsibility Afterwards Not long after. The top floor of the Wanhua Pavilion. “Brother Qi, head on in and have fun! Holler if you need anything.” With a sleazy, conspiratorial wink, Piao Genshuo abandoned his post. He barked out a hearty laugh, threw an arm around a
Chapter 335 Are You All Proper Female Demons? Seeing the two women staring at him in fright, Qi Yuan nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “If I, Qi, have not guessed incorrectly, the two of you are friends of the Feather Race from afar, right?” “Compared to my previous act of borrowing another person’s name,
Chapter 336: Time to Show Off My Strength! “You…” Zhu Mingfeng’s words died in her throat. An unnatural, furious blush crept up her pristine neck, a complicated cocktail of deep humiliation and sudden indignation. She had braced herself for extortion—a demand for exorbitant resources or perhaps something far more degrading. Never in her wildest dreams
Chapter 337: This Game Is Being Played Too Big That night. Ruyi Villa. In a secluded, dimly lit subterranean chamber, Villa Master Lu Yifei sat rigidly upon his ebony throne. He was attempting to cycle his spiritual energy and meditate, but his mind was a turbulent storm. Suddenly, his breathing hitched. With a heavy frown,
Chapter 338: Too Many Fish, How to Reel in the Net? “You… you’re saying…” Ji Chan’er stammered, staring at the man beside her as if he had sprouted a second head. “The Sect Leader ordered you to kidnap a handful of hypocrite geniuses… so you fabricated an entire ‘Heavenly Genius Assembly’ to trap thousands of
Chapter 339: There’s No Future in the Righteous Path! His initial panic subsiding, Lu Yifei’s mind began to churn with ambitious possibilities. He shot Qi Yuan a deeply respectful glance, his eyes shining with anticipation. “Holy Envoy,” the Villa Master ventured, “may I ask which specific Demon Venerable will be descending upon us? If you
Chapter 340: In a Situation Like This, Is There Still a Way Out? Suppressing a violent spike of pure panic, Qi Yuan forced his facial muscles to relax into a mask of mild curiosity. “Fellow Daoist Tu,” he asked, keeping his tone light. “Didn’t you mention previously that this Demonic Cultivator possessed a unique Fate
Chapter 341: What’s Your Relationship With Her? “The target is to the southwest!” Just as Qi Yuan’s heart was about to pound its way out of his ribcage, Tu Ruoxu swept his large sleeve, recalling the floating Heavenly Divination Copper Coins. Without a moment’s hesitation, he launched himself into the air, rocketing in the exact
Chapter 342: This Bastard, Actually Right in Front of Me “Uh…” Qi Yuan forcibly swallowed his mounting panic. Pasting on an expression of absolute, impeachable seriousness, he said, “At the time, I simply advised Qin Lingxue that if she truly wished to comprehend the myriad facets of human emotion and the complex tapestry of the
Chapter 343: This Matter Must Be Dealt With! “Absolutely not!” Recovering from her initial paralysis, Xiao Yueni’s beautiful face twisted into a mask of pure, glacial fury. She shut down his ridiculous proposal without a second of hesitation. “Your methods are completely unhinged! Even if Junior Sister Qin is truly suffering a psychological crisis, it
Chapter 344: What a Brilliant Plan, Branch Leader! That night. Outside the Pill Saint Immortal Market. Deep within a gloomy, oppressive forest, over a dozen figures swathed in heavy gray robes and deep hoods gathered for their scheduled operational briefing. The man leading the cell cleared his throat and produced a small, battered notebook from
Chapter 345: Leave This Matter to Us, the Nine Nether Sect! “What?” Hearing that Qi Yuan intended to cause trouble at the Heavenly Genius Assembly, Dong Jian’s heart skipped a beat, and his expression instantly turned grave. Before becoming the Branch Leader, he had been a high-ranking Elder within the Nine Nether Sect. Naturally, he
Chapter 346: Good News, The Acceleration Pill Is Ready After Qi Yuan vanished into the night, one of the Nine Nether Sect Demonic Cultivators crept up to Dong Jian. “Branch Leader,” the subordinate asked hesitantly, “shouldn’t we report this development to the Sect Leader?” Dong Jian’s face darkened with immediate displeasure. He shot the man
Chapter 347: Brother Qi Truly Has a Keen Eye for Recognizing Talent The moment they stepped into the alchemy room, Liu Qi couldn’t wait to fish several pitch-black Pills out of his furnace. He presented them to Qi Yuan like priceless treasures. Roughly the size of broad beans, the Pills were charred black as coal
Chapter 348: This Immortal Fate, This Master Will Seize It! After effortlessly exchanging a few more layers of nonsense with Liu Qi, Qi Yuan smoothly excused himself. Naturally, he breathed not a single word about his own participation in the Alchemist Competition, nor did he leak a syllable regarding his backroom deal with Chu Ren,
Chapter 349: The Real Cage As Shen Honglian’s delicate frame trembled, her voice stolen by the sheer weight of his revelation, the Candle Dragon spoke again. “Disciple, once the human race has been thoroughly broken and subjugated beneath the demon race’s heel, you shall be appointed the supreme sovereign of this domain. You will oversee
Chapter 350: The Five-Million-Stone Hustle On the far side of the valley, Qi Yuan—blending into the crowd as just another face in the sea of guests—watched the scene unfold with a cynical smirk. He had to hand it to the old man; older ginger was indeed spicier. Lu Yifei, that magnificent old fox, was clearly
Chapter 351: Oh No, He’s About to Start Showing Off After a few perfunctory, high-sounding platitudes, Lu Yifei—still playing his role as the host—formally declared the sparring matches open. The words had barely left his lips before two righteous path geniuses scrambled onto the arena. After a brief, prideful exchange of sect lineages and titles,
Chapter 352: Is the Third Move This Fierce? From the moment Ji Tianpeng forcefully stepped onto the arena, the outcome of this match was effectively set in stone. The only remaining suspense was whether anyone actually possessed the suicidal courage to cross blades with the Holy Scion of Purple Sun. Caught up in the manic
Chapter 353: This Sword Immortal Woman is Truly Ruthless Enough Shortly after departing from the Ji Clan’s stronghold, Qi Yuan suddenly received a message from Tu Ruoxu via a spirit talisman. Even through the talisman, he could hear the tone of that Eternal Holy Scion was quite excited, as if he had made some major
Chapter 354: It’s Time for This Grand Show to Begin! “A Heavenly Genius Assembly registration token?” Tu Ruoxu’s gaze grew heavy as he stared at the jade plaque in the dirt. Wasting no time, he hurriedly upended the remaining two Qiankun bags. Thud. Thud. From the second bag, a familiar figure tumbled out, rolling into
Chapter 355: Oh, Then It’s Fine The Holy Scions and Saintesses stood frozen, completely dumbfounded by the sheer scale of the catastrophe. When reality finally crashed down on them, sheer panic set in. They scrambled, deploying every communication artifact at their disposal to report this absolute emergency to their respective Sects. Even the famously indolent
Chapter 356: Only the Demonic Path Understands the Demonic Path Best Swish! Daoist Jingxu swept his voluminous sleeve, casting a hazy, ethereal radiance into the air. Instantly, the pristine sky violently churned. A vast, illusory scroll slowly unspooled across the heavens, its surface rippling with light and shadow. It acted as a cosmic mirror, projecting
Chapter 357: Cat Girls, Rabbit Girls, Fox Girls, Leopard Girls, Take Your Pick Meanwhile. While the numerous righteous factions were foaming at the mouth, marching off in a murderous frenzy to settle the score with the Nine Nether Sect, Qi Yuan had already slipped away from the crowd and used a system teleportation to return
Chapter 358: The Ji Clan Patriarch is the True Mastermind Behind the Scenes! “Master, this is a matter of monumental importance. How could I possibly dare deceive you?” Qi Yuan shook his head, his face the very picture of earnest innocence. “Those so-called Heavenly Geniuses are currently locked away in an isolated minor world. If
Chapter 359: As Gullible as Those Orthodox Hypocrites, Truly Disappointing Whoosh! The Sect Leader’s opulent jade carriage tore through the void, hurtling toward the Ji Clan’s ancestral lands. Qi Yuan stood near the edge of the carriage, his eyes downcast in a picture of perfect, silent obedience. Beneath that meek exterior, however, his mind was
Chapter 360: The Ancestor Stands Up! A short while later. Outside the Floating Ao Palace. Ji Yuntian stepped out with a calm expression and said in a steady tone, “The Ancestor has instructed that Big Qi is to be granted a private audience first. I must ask the Sect Leader to wait here for a
Chapter 361: If He Doesn’t Succeed, Who Will? Whoosh! Before Ji Yuntian could even step forward to offer his congratulations, the Ji Clan Ancestor’s face began to contort. Suddenly, the ancient patriarch’s legs blurred. As if trapped on an invisible, high-speed treadmill, he launched forward into a dead sprint. Ji Yuntian: “…” Qi Yuan: “????”
Chapter 362: Holy Shit! What Is This Kid Trying To Do?! “Fellow Daoist Raven, what do we do now?” Carrying his family’s grand Ancestor over his shoulder, Ji Yuntian felt immense pressure. Anxiety gnawed at him. Accompanying a sovereign was like accompanying a tiger. Who knew what the usually stern and imposing Ancestor was thinking
Chapter 363: What the Hell is This Kidnapping of Prodigies? Meanwhile. Eastern Divine Domain. A clandestine stronghold of the Nine Serenities Sect. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the stronghold bustled with activity. Over a hundred Nine Serenities Sect disciples shuttled back and forth around the massive storehouses. They moved with practiced efficiency, sorting
Chapter 364: A Huge Conspiracy “This subordinate pays his respects to the Sect Leader.” Dong Jian knelt trembling on the floor of the great hall. He kept his head bowed low, his forehead pressed flush against the cold stone, not daring to look up. Liu Xiangjie, Sect Leader of the Nine Serenities Sect, took a
Chapter 365: Just Thinking About It Makes One Excited Hearing the voice, Shen Honglian’s pupils constricted sharply. She instinctively tried to jolt upright, but her body lay completely unresponsive. It was as if her physical form had been severed from her will; she couldn’t move a single muscle. What made her heart plummet even further
Chapter 366: Isn’t His Courage a Bit Too Great? What exactly was this kid trying to do? Shen Honglian had already cooled her initial fury. She silently observed his every move, her mind racing. As the dignified Sect Leader of The Saint Sect, she wasn’t some fragile mortal girl who would throw a life-or-death tantrum
Chapter 367: I, Liu Xiangjie, Swear Here The next day. The Nine Serenities Sect. Clang! Clang! Clang! Frantic bell tolls shattered the morning calm, exploding across the mountain gate like rolling thunder. In an instant, the Nine Serenities Sect was thrown into chaos. Teams of disciples, stewards, and Elders scrambled into battle formations, their expressions
Chapter 368: Holy Scion Qi, Truly a Paragon of the Righteous Path The news sent a shockwave through the righteous army. Expressions twisted into masks of boiling fury and righteous indignation. “It really was the Nine Serenities Sect! That bastard Liu Xiangjie committed a crime against heaven itself, yet he dares to brazenly deceive us
Chapter 369: Extremely Perverted, Extremely Cruel Joy washed over Tu Ruoxu, Zhuang Qingyun, Piao Genshuo, and Xiao Yueni the moment they spotted Qi Yuan. They abruptly retracted their escaping lights and landed to greet him. “Fellow Daoist Qi.” A faint smile graced Qi Yuan’s lips. He strolled forward to meet them at a leisurely pace.
Chapter 370: Do You Really Think The Saint Sect Is Your Family’s Business? Meanwhile. The Demonic Sect. Miluo Palace. A streak of black light plummeted from the sky, slamming onto the pavement before the great hall. The light faded, revealing a short, stout man shrouded in black robes. His loose hair framed a sinister face,
Chapter 371: Night Race Remnant After a brief, nauseating bout of weightlessness, Qi Yuan’s senses booted back online. The freezing, suffocating void before his eyes peeled back, replaced by a washed-out, sepia-toned nightmare. A desolate twilight choked the sprawling, lifeless estate. Fog the color of diluted ink crawled across the flagstones, radiating a heavy, suffocating
Chapter 372: Man, Have You Seen Enough? Listening to the old woman’s sinister monologue, the young girl’s pretty face drained of all color. She raised her head, trembling like a leaf in a hurricane. “Grandmother… what are you talking about? I don’t understand a single word…” An invisible force slammed down, paralyzing her mid-sentence. “Hehehe…”
Chapter 373: How About We Try It Right Now Staring at the mysterious woman materializing from the gloom, Qi Yuan’s brow furrowed. “Something’s off. You’re not Qin Lingxue. Who exactly are you?” Though this woman’s face and figure were pixel-perfect copies of the Abyssal Frost Sword Master, her vibe was diametrically opposed. If Qin Lingxue
Chapter 374: I Specialize in Curing All Kinds of Unyielding Thwack! With a heavy, hollow thud, the Flash Stick connected solidly with the demon’s skull. Caught entirely off guard, the woman in black saw stars as thick, inky mist violently sprayed from her nose and mouth. “You bastard! You dare ambush me?!” Having just eaten
Chapter 375: Virtuous and Talented, Light of the Righteous Path At the same time. Alchemist Association Headquarters. Inside an opulent study, an Elder draped in the official robes of the association offered a stiff, deeply apologetic bow. “Reporting to the President. Following a rigorous internal investigation, we have conclusively determined that the guards stationed at
Chapter 376: Don’t Think You’re So Special “Sister Xiao?” Qin Lingxue blinked, her expression groggy and dazed as she stared at Xiao Yueni. Realizing she was lying flat on a bed, she jolted upright, a deep frown creasing her brow. “I… I think I passed out. What happened?” Hearing the question, Xiao Yueni’s pretty face
Chapter 377: What the Hell Kind of World Is This! Seeing Qin Lingxue staring at him as if her entire worldview had just been detonated and rebuilt from scratch, Qi Yuan secretly patted himself on the back. The root cause of the female sword immortal’s psychological collapse was her crippling insecurity regarding her Night Race
Chapter 378: Intermediate Sword Dao Expert “I am truly overwhelmed by such favor. I feel utterly unworthy.” Just as Qi Yuan was delivering his flawlessly rehearsed, humble-brag acceptance speech, the long-absent, mechanical chime of the System rang in his ears. [DING! CONGRATULATIONS, HOST, FOR COMPLETING THE ‘REIGNITING A PAST BOND’ MISSION.] [REWARD: 5,000 COMEBACK POINTS,
Chapter 379: Lord of the Human Race, Substitute Puppet Hearing the servant’s report, Shen Chaoxu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He ordered in a deep voice: “Invite him in.” “Yes, Master.” The servant’s retreating footsteps echoed down the hall. A moment later, a young man wrapped in a heavy gray cloak strode into the room. He radiated
Chapter 380: Definitely Cured! Just as Qi Yuan felt puzzled, a layer of gloom suddenly enveloped the surroundings, blurring his vision. This misty, hazy sensation made his heart instinctively tighten. Who? This villa was protected by specialized alert Formations, and due to the special status of its residents, it was under heavy protection from the
Chapter 381: Dog System, Do You Think You’re Very Funny? Watching the two women finally depart, Qi Yuan let out a breath and prepared to trigger his teleportation anchor back to the Demonic Sect. Before the command could register, the System’s mission interface violently materialized in his optical feed. A freshly minted Main Mission blared
Chapter 382: Sect Master Liu Is Truly a Divine Being! “Zhao Lingji, Left Envoy of the Netherworld from the Nine Nether Sect, pays respects to fellow cultivators.” Upon entering the great hall, the envoy from the Nine Nether Sect immediately bowed to the Nether Fiend Sect members, his attitude extremely humble, without a trace of
Chapter 383: It Seems I Misjudged Him; Qi Chuanchuan Is Truly a Good Person Just as the envoy from the Nine Nether Gate was practically sweating bullets, Qi Yuan’s face lit up with the sudden brilliance of a man who had just experienced a divine revelation. He smacked his forehead and spoke with profound gravity.
Chapter 384: Is This Still the Saint Sect Everyone Knows? Zhao Lingji, the Envoy of the Nine Serenities Sect, stepped forward excitedly, preparing to deliver a speech of gratitude, but Qi Yuan cut him off. “Since everyone present agrees, this matter is settled. I request the External Affairs Hall to quickly gather disciples and set
Chapter 385: Exceptional Filial Piety In an atmosphere of unprecedented harmony, the first-ever council gathering in the history of the Demonic Sect presided over by a Righteous Path undercover agent concluded with flawless success. Even more inspiring was the fact that every single decree proposed during the summit was ratified by a unanimous vote. It
Chapter 386: Clan Leader Ji, Things Aren’t What You Think Qi Yuan blinked, completely derailed by the sudden homicidal declaration. “Who exactly are you planning to execute?” Simultaneously, a spike of genuine, paranoid anxiety hit his chest. Did the Heart-Tying Talisman deployed by Ancestor Ling Yu suffer a catastrophic failure? Is this woman actually targeting
Chapter 387: Reinforcements Are Arriving Soon The Nine Serenities Sect. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The sky above the Sect was a churning, apocalyptic nightmare of violent wind and localized lightning storms, completely blotting out the sun. Massed outside the primary mountain gates, tens of thousands of Righteous Path cultivators hovered in the airspace. They were
Chapter 388: A Transaction “Enter, young friends.” Upon entering the command tent, Qi Yuan immediately saw the three giants of the righteous path in charge of the front line. The elderly man seated at the head had a refined appearance and an ethereal aura, giving off an immortal and transcendent feeling. This was Daoist Jingxu,
Chapter 389: This Junior Has a Clever Plan “Absolutely impossible!” Dugu Hun was the first to violently reject the proposal. He surged forward, his aura boiling with homicidal fury. “The threat posed by the Saint Sect is vastly, catastrophically greater than the Nine Serenities! If we permit you to swallow their territory, we are actively
Chapter 390: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf Inside the Righteous Path’s command tent. Daoist Jingxu subconsciously straightened his posture, leaning forward with an expression of intense curiosity. “Little friend Ruoxu, please explain in detail.” “Junior’s strategy is to drive the tiger to devour the wolf.” The corners of Tu Ruoxu’s mouth curled upward,
Chapter 391: The Organization’s Strength is Truly Terrifying! “This…” Staring at the Sect Leader’s token resting in Ji Yuntian’s palm, the blood drained from the faces of the two rival clan leaders. A collective, sharp hiss of breath echoed through the room. The clan elder representing the Situ family surged to his feet, his voice
Chapter 392: Why Does It Look Somewhat Familiar? Not long after. Deep within the cavernous, tomb-like silence of the underground palace, Demon Venerable Jueshen sat cross-legged on a pitch-black cushion. Shadows pooled and writhed around him, layering into grotesque, agonizing faces that howled in silent, skin-crawling agony. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. His gaze was
Chapter 393: Let You People Know Who’s Really in Charge At the exact same moment, deep within the subterranean labyrinth of the Nine Nether Sect. “Demon Venerable Ji’s esteemed presence truly brings boundless glory to my humble abode! Please, please, come in quickly…” Despite his overwhelming curiosity regarding Ji Qingcang’s current—and frankly abstract—mode of transportation,
Chapter 394: Slapping Him a Few Times in Passing, Just to Vent Anger The front lines. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The apocalyptic bombardment finally ceased. Spiritual Energy slightly depleted, the righteous alliance’s siege forces rolled back like a receding tide, pausing to catch their breath before the next agonizing wave. Even with the Nine Nether
Chapter 395: This is an Illegitimate Order! We Categorically Refuse! The Nine Nether Sect. The Council Hall. With Sect Leader Liu Xiangjie absent, Deputy Sect Leader You Zaiyan was forced to preside over the emergency meeting. He managed to maintain a thin veneer of calm, though a faint trace of nervous tension leaked through his
Chapter 396: This Subordinate Just Risked His Life to Obtain a Piece of Intelligence The atmosphere inside the council hall was suffocatingly bizarre. Demon Venerable Jueshen, beaten black, blue, and bloody, lay paralyzed on the cold stone floor. His face was an immovable mask, but his eyes screamed. They burned with a potent cocktail of
Chapter 397: Preparing a Surprise for the Righteous Path Meanwhile, within the Nether Fiend Sect. Deep inside the Shen Clan’s Ancestral Land. Shen Clan Patriarch, Shen Chaoxu, shifted restlessly in his high-backed chair, a deep crease of anxiety carving into his brow. By all accounts, the Nine Nether Sect’s Master, Liu Xiangjie, should have arrived
Chapter 398: Traces of an Old Acquaintance Deep within the suffocating darkness of a hidden underground cave, a wisp of shadow materialized, twisting into the tall, gaunt, and sinister figure of a middle-aged man. He looked utterly ragged. His aura flared and sputtered like a dying candle, the undeniable aftermath of a brutal brush with
Chapter 399: Heavenly Demon Soul-Seizing Grand Formation In an exceptionally well-hidden pocket dimension. Whoosh! Accompanied by a blinding flash of spatial transit light, several figures materialized upon a massive teleportation array. Sensing the spatial fluctuations, the perimeter guards immediately drew their weapons, forming a tight defensive perimeter. However, the moment they recognized the arrivals, their
Chapter 400: Sorry, I’m Here to Rob You “Big Qi?!” Xiao Yueni’s pupils contracted as she stared at the figure in the projection, the name slipping from her lips in an involuntary gasp. Beside her, the other members of the “Hunt Big Qi Squad” exchanged complicated, deeply uncomfortable glances. They would recognize that silhouette anywhere.
Chapter 401: Is There Any Justice in This Damn World? While the righteous alliances of the outside world watched in slack-jawed horror, Qi Yuan officially completed the unprecedented logistical nightmare of mugging 70,000 elite prodigies single-handedly. At his feet sat a literal, geological mountain of spatial rings, storage bags, and premium artifacts. The visual impact
Chapter 402: Bandits Passing Through, Leaving Not a Blade of Grass The Bishui Sect was nestled in a picturesque, lush river valley. It was a modest establishment, boasting a total population of perhaps two or three thousand. In the grand hierarchy of the Cultivation world, it barely scraped the bottom of the fourth-tier barrel. However,
Chapter 403: Such Conduct Must Be Severely Punished Early morning the next day. The Righteous Path Command Camp. The atmosphere inside the central command tent was suffocatingly grim. Daoist Jingxu was currently off-site, dealing with the apocalyptic PR nightmare of pacifying the dozens of sects that had been robbed blind by their own prodigies. The
Chapter 404: The Wind is Bleak and the Yi River Cold For some reason, Dugu Hun’s brow furrowed in skepticism. He couldn’t help but ask, “Martial Nephew Qi. The defensive nodes of the Grand Formation are the absolute lifelines of the Demonic Path. They will undoubtedly be guarded by their most elite, fanatical forces. Can
Chapter 405: Agreement Reached, Corpse Puppet Death Warriors As soon as he returned to the Nine Nether Sect, Qi Yuan was ambushed in the guest hall by a very familiar, exquisitely graceful figure. “Qi Lang.” Seeing him enter, a breathtakingly joyful smile bloomed across Situ Yan’s stunning face. She practically glided over to him, her
Chapter 406: This Plan is Excellent, Our Nine Nether Sect Agrees Not long after. The Nine Nether Sect. The Shen Clan’s Temporary Compound. Shen Tuhai, the Great Ascension Ancestor of the Shen Clan, evaluated the man standing before him.

Their expressions turned solemn as they
Chapter 408: Holy Scion Mighty! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A catastrophic, blinding barrage of magical artillery poured from the sky like a monsoon of liquid fire.

Chapter 409: Something Terrible Has Happened! Swoosh! Under the awestruck gazes of the righteous cultivators, Qi Yuan stepped through the air. With a casual flick of his wrist, the Mystic Heaven Sword flared. A streak of cold light, fast as a shooting star, sheared horizontally across the sky. A charging Soul Formation Demonic Cultivator was
Chapter 410: This Place is More Fun to Visit Than a Brothel “Disaster! The camp’s defenses are completely hollowed out! The rear guard won’t survive contact with elite Demonic Cultivators! We must pull back and retake the base immediately!” The horrific realization crashed over the righteous army like a bucket of ice water. A moment
Chapter 411: Paragon of the Righteous Path, Nightmare of the Proud Sons of Heaven Just as the combined might of the Righteous Alliance was broadcasting an unprecedented, astronomical bounty for the head of a certain Demonic Legacy Disciple to every corner of the continent… Whoosh! In a freezing, pitch-black cavern located ten thousand miles outside
Chapter 412: So It’s Happily Decided The microsecond Qi Yuan’s silhouette breached the corridor, Shen Xingxuan—who had been rigidly maintaining her post outside the Sovereign’s sanctum—visibly relaxed. Her beautiful eyes lit up, though her face was immediately hijacked by tight, nervous anxiety as she rushed forward. “Junior Brother Qi! You’ve finally rotated back! The intelligence
