Scrub— Scrub—
Lin Yan was woken up by the sound of washing.
He groggily opened his eyes. Outside the window, the sky was just barely getting bright. The morning light spilled in through the window lattice, casting a soft dance of light and shadow on the floor.
[Ding! Today's cultivation has arrived. Reward: Two years of cultivation!]
Immediately after, a warm current surged from the void into his dantian. The warm true qi flowed slowly along his meridians, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Lin Yan stretched lazily, his bones popping with a series of light crackles.
So comfortable!
Waking up every day to be infused with cultivation, this life was... like living as an immortal.
Other people cultivating to immortality had to go into secluded bitter training, working until they went bald just to accumulate a few years of cultivation. But him? Every day he just woke up from a sleep, and two years of cultivation were automatically credited. He could get stronger just by lying flat. Was there anything more satisfying than this?
It had only been exactly three days since he transmigrated, and his cultivation base had already accumulated to a full four years.
He just didn't know what realm these four years of cultivation corresponded to.
Scrub— Scrub—
The sound outside the window continued.
Lin Yan turned his head and glanced out the window.
Under the old locust tree in the courtyard, a tiny figure was squatting next to a wooden basin, scrubbing clothes with all her might.
The morning light fell on her, coating that oversized white inner garment with a layer of pale gold.
The little girl had her hair tied in a simple ponytail. A few loose strands hung by her ears, swaying gently with her scrubbing motions.
What those little hands were currently kneading and washing seemed to be... the foot wraps he had taken off yesterday.
"This girl..."
She was so sensible that it made his heart ache.
Feeling both a warmth and a sour pang in his heart, Lin Yan got up, threw on his outer coat, pushed open the door, and walked out.
The wooden door let out a light creak.
Hearing the noise, Liu Ruyan hurriedly stopped her work. She stood up, crossed her hands in front of her, and respectfully performed a grand bow.
"Wishing Master well!"
"Ruyan, stand up!"
Liu Ruyan obediently stood up and waited to the side with her hands down, her gaze slightly lowered.
Lin Yan walked over, crouched down, and looked at her at eye level.
"Ruyan, you are Master's disciple, not Master's slave."
"You don't need to do these chores in the future, nor do you need to kneel and bow every day."
Liu Ruyan looked up, a trace of confusion and... unease flashing through her clear eyes.
"Master is not a bad person!"
Actually, Lin Yan had noticed something was off last night.
The little girl still seemed to have that ignorant, amnesiac look, but the rules and upbringing she occasionally displayed, the sense of propriety carved into her bones, and the way she sat alone by the window secretly shedding tears at night...
This girl either never lost her memories in the first place, or she had already remembered everything from her past.
Lin Yan looked into her eyes and said pointedly, "Here, no one will bully you, and certainly no one will hurt you. You don't have to be so cautious."
Liu Ruyan's tiny body trembled slightly.
Something was surging in those clear eyes.
It looked like grievance, like being moved, and like the relief of a long-taut string suddenly loosening.
She lowered her head, her voice small and soft.
"Yes, Master. Ruyan will remember..."
[Ding! Liu Ruyan's favorability has increased. Loyalty +5%!]
Lin Yan was in a great mood. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the little girl's loyalty broke through 80%.
When that time came, he would be able to draw traits again.
Lin Yan rubbed her little head and smiled. "Master will go make breakfast. After we eat, Master will take you to the Transmission Pavilion and teach you how to cultivate."
Kidding aside, this was the Taiyin Dao Body. He couldn't just let it go to waste, right?
Although he himself didn't know even half a cultivation technique, his system was awesome. The legacy pavilion inside the Transmission Pavilion was all-encompassing. He could definitely pick out a top-tier cultivation technique that was perfectly suited for the Taiyin Dao Body.
Just as he finished speaking, Liu Ruyan seemed to suddenly remember something. Her little face turned pale. With an "Ah!", she turned around and trotted into the kitchen.
Lin Yan froze for a moment. Curious, he followed right behind her.
As a result, he saw a pot of burnt porridge.
"Mashter... I'm sorry..."
Liu Ruyan kept her head down, her little hands rubbing the hem of her clothes, her words slurred.
"Haha, it's fine!"
"Master, I... I'll make a new pot! It will be quick!"
"No, no, no need to remake it."
Lin Yan quickly stopped her, saying with a smile, "This is the first pot of porridge our Ruyan made for Master. It has great significance. Master has to taste it properly."
Saying so, he actually picked up the wooden spoon nearby, scooped up some of the less burnt porridge from the top, and put it in his mouth with his eyes closed.
Liu Ruyan watched her Master nervously, her little hands subconsciously gripping her clothes tighter.
"Master, is it good...?"
Lin Yan chewed twice, the expression on his face hard to describe.
A burnt taste, a bitter taste, and an indescribably weird flavor exploded in his mouth.
Gritting his back teeth, he swallowed it with great difficulty, then squeezed out a smile.
"Mhm, it's very well made."
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up.
"Don't make it next time."
"Pfft—"
The little girl couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
[Ding! Liu Ruyan's favorability has increased. Loyalty +1%!]
...
Transmission Pavilion.
"Ruyan, go on in."
"Yes, Master!"
Liu Ruyan respectfully bowed to Lin Yan, then turned and took small steps into the Transmission Pavilion.
Lin Yan looked at the closing doors of the pavilion and smiled, shaking his head. This little girl, her manners and upbringing were truly carved into her bones.
Her true identity must definitely not be simple!
But so what?
Just based on how this girl squatted by the well early in the morning, freezing her little hands red just to wash his personal socks and wraps, no matter who she was or how many enemies she had behind her, he was determined to protect her!
Even if Jesus came, he wouldn't be able to take her away!
...
The scene shifted to the inside of the Transmission Pavilion.
Liu Ruyan raised her eyes to examine the Transmission Pavilion.
It couldn't be considered grand; it wasn't much different from an ordinary study. The only difference was that there was a white jade platform in the middle of the room.
Following her Master's instructions before she entered, the little girl took off her shoes, walked onto the platform, and sat down cross-legged.
Her tiny body sat perfectly straight, back upright, hands resting on her knees.
The moment she sat firmly, the patterns on the platform suddenly lit up!
A pale blue light spread out from beneath her, diffusing outward circle by circle along the patterns of the platform, rippling like water waves.
At the same time, an emotionless voice rang out in her mind.
[Ding! Transmission Pavilion has been activated!]
[Disciple Liu Ruyan detected. Matching with the most suitable cultivation technique...]
Liu Ruyan completely froze.
Her eyes widened and her small mouth fell slightly open, staring in disbelief at the pale blue light screen that had appeared in front of her.
An artifact spirit!
This Transmission Pavilion actually had an artifact spirit!
One must know, even during the Liu family's most glorious era, they didn't have many dharma treasures or weapons that possessed artifact spirits.
Yet this Transmission Pavilion in this seemingly ordinary little courtyard actually possessed an artifact spirit?
Moreover, this artifact spirit could talk, think, and take the initiative to match cultivation techniques?
This...
Liu Ruyan's brain couldn't quite process it.
Master...
Just who exactly was her Master?
Right at this moment, the voice in her mind rang out again.
[Ding! Match complete!]
[Recommended Cultivation Technique: Taiyin Emperor Scripture]
[Grade: Emperor-tier]
[Cultivation Requirements: Restricted to Taiyin Holy Body / Taiyin Dao Body]
[Technique Introduction: Created by the Immemorial Moon Emperor, it consists of nine levels, including a nine-level mental cultivation method, nine divine abilities, and one forbidden art. Upon reaching great mastery, one can incarnate into the Lunar Yin, control the rotation of Yin and Yang, and grasp the authority over life and death!]
[Do you accept the transmission?]
Huh?
Lunar Emperor Scripture?
This name...
Why does it sound so familiar?
Liu Ruyan blinked her large eyes, her small face full of confusion.
Wait...
This... isn't this the Great Emperor-level technique that the Liu family had lost long ago?!
According to ancient family records, the Liu family's ancestor once followed the Immemorial Moon Emperor and was bestowed the Lunar Emperor Scripture, using it to establish the Liu family's foundation.
After thousands of years, the fragmented chapters were gradually lost. In recent generations, no one in the Liu family had practiced the complete Lunar technique.
Only six levels of the mental cultivation method and three divine abilities remained...
Yet this ordinary, unremarkable Skill Transmission Pavilion right in front of her actually gave her the complete Emperor Scripture directly?
Nine levels of mental cultivation, nine divine abilities, one forbidden art...
It was complete!
It was entirely complete!
Liu Ruyan's small hands trembled slightly.
This, this, this...
She was completely dumbfounded.
Was she dreaming?
Liu Ruyan pinched her thigh hard.
It hurt.
It wasn't a dream.
It was real.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her wildly beating heart, as the expression on her small face shifted from shock to wild ecstasy.
A Great Emperor-level technique!
Coupled with her Lunar Holy Body...
Liu Ruyan's eyes turned slightly red.
She finally... finally had the capital for revenge.
Yuhua Divine Dynasty!
The moment those words surfaced in her mind, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Liu Ruyan's eyes.
Filled with deep hatred and extreme ruthlessness.
It was an icy coldness completely unsuited for her age.
But it was only for a split second.
Liu Ruyan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze had returned to calmness.
She folded her hands in front of her and bowed respectfully to the unknown existence in the void.
"Thank you, Master."
Although her master, Lin Yan, was not present, she etched this favor into her heart.
[Ding! Does disciple Liu Ruyan accept the technique Lunar Emperor Scripture?]
"I accept."
[Ding! Transmitting technique...]
...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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?
