The All-Peak Tournament resumed in full swing.
Encouraged by Lin Heming, the disciples on the field were all fired up, eager to temper themselves in this tournament.
The dueling arenas were exceptionally lively, with spells and divine arts flying everywhere.
Except for........................ a certain someone.
That was Ye Shu.
His matches were arguably the most boring of all. Anyone who drew him as an opponent undoubtedly surrendered on the spot.
After all, why would they fight a monster possessed by a snake?
Seriously?
There was simply no reason to try and defeat an opponent you couldn't possibly win against.
"Umm, Senior Brother Ye..."
The disciple in the finals gave a sheepish smile and cupped his fists. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going down now. Take your time eating."
With that, he leaped off the stage, actually forfeiting the match.
Leaving behind a speechless Ye Shu to stare awkwardly at the referee elder, whose face was brimming with gratification.
"Young man, I have high hopes for you."
The referee elder patted Ye Shu's shoulder with a benevolent expression.
"Your path is still long. Walk it well."
Ye Shu's mouth twitched.
"Thank you, Elder."
The elder nodded, turned to face the entire audience, and announced loudly.
"I declare the winner of this tournament to be—"
"Ye Shu!"
Thunderous applause erupted.
As the referee elder's voice faded, this unique All-Peak Tournament finally came to a close.
The disciples of the Azure Profound Sect would probably never forget this day.
What happened in a single day was far more spectacular than what some people experienced in an entire lifetime.
The reward for the victor was actually quite simple.
They could spend three months in close contact with the Azure Profound Sword in the back mountain.
Do not be fooled by this seemingly ordinary reward; it actually held profound mysteries.
Aside from its spirit-gathering effects, the Azure Profound Sword had a far more miraculous function.
Its most extraordinary effect was its ability to help one comprehend the Dao. It wasn't some vague, esoteric enlightenment, but a tangible, real sensation of the Dao right beside you.
The laws of heaven and earth would spontaneously revolve around the Azure Profound Sword.
One must know that the first time ordinary cultivators could closely comprehend the laws of heaven and earth was usually when breaking through to the Void Return realm.
When a cultivator broke through to the Void Return realm, there would be a window of opportunity.
That period was a blessing from heaven and earth, allowing the cultivator to closely comprehend its laws and touch its core. All previous confusions in cultivation would be easily resolved. It could be said that a Void Return cultivator who had not comprehended the power of laws was, at best, just a larger-scale Soul Formation cultivator with more abundant spiritual energy and a stronger physical body.
Only by touching the Dao could one truly be considered a Void Return cultivator.
Only then would there be a true qualitative difference.
Reaching this step, the gap between Soul Formation and Void Return was like an insurmountable chasm. Fighting across realms became almost impossible.
A saying had always circulated in the Profound Heaven Continent—
"Those who do not see the Dao are ultimately but ants."
But the Azure Profound Sect had the Azure Profound Sword. Therefore, even without entering the Void Return realm, one could use the sword to closely contact the laws of heaven and earth. After consuming this opportunity, it would take about thirty years to re-condense the laws of heaven and earth.
That was why the All-Peak Tournament was held once every thirty years.
And why the Azure Profound Sect recruited disciples once every thirty years.
It was all for this.
It was also to find the true master of the Azure Profound Sword. Unfortunately, despite the Azure Profound Sect's legacy of tens of thousands of years, the right person had yet to appear.
As for why no one came to snatch such a powerful artifact.
Just look at the Demonic Path in the distance, children.
After a few simple days of preparation and post-tournament settlements, the day to head to the back mountain finally arrived.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
