"You're no longer a perfect celestial being?"
The old man stared at Ao Qingcheng, his body trembling as he spoke each word slowly.
As his voice trailed off, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"What?"
When the old man's words echoed through the hall, it was like a thunderclap. In an instant, waves crashed within the hall.
The powerful experts who filled the hall slowly rose to their feet, their faces like iron as they fixed Ao Qingcheng with glares as sharp as pins.
Just as expected.
Ao Qingcheng's aura was completely different than before.
Perfection.
No more!
"How can this be?"
"That's right. She just went out for a bit. How could this happen?"
"She said she went to find Ao Qing. What exactly happened?"
Deep, heavy voices rang out. Clearly, they were unable to accept this reality.
Because Ao Qingcheng represented hope to them all. They didn't know how many resources they had spent over the years to nurture her.
Yet just when they were about to reap the rewards, this happened.
"Qingcheng, speak! Say something!" The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, then urged Ao Qingcheng urgently.
However, Ao Qingcheng just stared blankly ahead, tears streaming down her face silently. She didn't move a muscle.
"You..."
The old man's trembling finger pointed at Ao Qingcheng. He was so angry he couldn't get the words out. Helpless, he shifted his gaze to Ao Qingcheng's subordinates.
"Speak."
He demanded of one of them.
"Y-Your Excellency Bifang, I, I, I..."
That subordinate was drenched in cold sweat, stuttering and unable to get a sentence out.
"Humph!"
Ao Bifang slapped him dead with a palm strike. Then he seized another subordinate and thundered, "Speak! Or die!"
"I-I'll speak, I'll tell everything..."
Under Ao Bifang's oppressive might, this subordinate finally cracked and told the truth.
"What?!"
When his words fell, they stirred up a storm in the hall once more.
They nearly shocked everyone's jaws off.
Although they had guessed at various mishaps, never did they imagine this had anything to do with that good-for-nothing Ao Qing.
He was from the Red Sun Clan, a prodigy at the Demon King realm. How could he possibly have defiled the pride of the heavens from the Devouring Sky Demon Wolf Clan, Ao Qingcheng?
He screwed her?
"Are you talking about that useless idiot Ao Qing? Did I hear wrong, or are you speaking nonsense?" Ao Bifang seized the subordinate's neck and rumbled, "Tell me right now, what exactly happened?"
"Your Excellency, I'm not lying. It really was Ao Qing's doing!"
Under Ao Bifang's oppressive might, the subordinate didn't dare conceal anything. First he gave a rough overview of events, then described in detail what had happened at the martial arts hall.
"The Demon Suppressing Mirror, how could there be a Demon Suppressing Mirror? How could those two mortals possess it?" Astonishment flashed through Ao Bifang's eyes. Then he grabbed the subordinate and asked, "I'm asking you, are you certain those two people have no cultivation?"
"Absolutely certain!"
The subordinate hurriedly said, "If you don't believe me, ask them yourself."
Seeing this, the other subordinates also nodded vigorously.
Hearing this, Ao Bifang clenched his fists tightly as killing intent rose within him.
"Ao Qing, mortals, I will have you dead..."
Grinding, hateful words shook the hall. Then he gave new orders.
"Where are the two Demon Lords, Fu Dao and Xiu Luo?"
"Here!"
At his command, two men with deep, powerful auras stepped forward.
"The two of you, hurry to that martial arts hall. Bring Ao Qing back, and raze that hall to the ground. I don't care if those two are mortals or not, bring back their heads!" Ao Bifang's icy voice echoed around the hall. Then with a wave of his hand, a black umbrella appeared.
"Remember, bring the Sky Blocking Umbrella. With it, the Demon Suppressing Mirror will pose no threat!"
"Yes!"
Taking the umbrella, the two mighty Demon Lords Fu Dao and Xiu Luo immediately departed.
After arranging everything, Ao Bifang's gaze returned to Ao Qingcheng. Thinking of how that useless Ao Qing had ruined all his years of painstaking work, he thundered, "The rest of you, come with me to the Sky Devouring Hall!"
"Yes!"
Deafening voices responded, then countless figures sped off.
The Sky Devouring Hall.
It was where the Sky Devouring Emperor Ao Zhong handled the Demon Sect's affairs, and also where he took his concubines.
"My dear, our three sons are good for nothing. Why don't we make another?" Ao Zhong smiled at the beauty before him.
"Humph!"
But she pushed him away, complaining resentfully, "You have three sons, but I only have my precious Qing. Yet you know he was framed, and still punished and banished him. If anything happens to him out there, I won't forgive you."
"I'm sorry, my dear, but I had no choice. You know the Red Sun Clan is just looking for an excuse to attack us. I had to make that difficult decision." Ao Zhong sighed helplessly. "And Qing has always lacked motivation and never experienced hardship. I'm just taking this chance to temper him."
"Humph!"
His wife Yun Wanqing clearly wasn't sympathetic.
"I swear, as soon as the clan situation stabilizes, I'll bring Qing back!" Ao Zhong raised his palm and smiled. "Don't you want Qing to have more siblings?"
Yun Wanqing glanced at Ao Zhong resentfully, but didn't reject him further.
Ao Zhong's face lit up in joy, and he moved to begin.
But just as he started taking off his pants, furious shouts came from outside.
"Sky Devouring Emperor, come out here now!"
Hearing this, Ao Zhong's expression changed.
"Damn Red Sun Clan, not satisfied with getting my Qing banished, now trying to suppress my imperial clan. I won't let you succeed!"
Seeing his wife's resentful gaze, he let out a breath, flared his aura, and flew out to face Ao Bifang and the others.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
