"Where did you go?"
Looking at Jian Hengtian who had suddenly reappeared, the other three people asked him.
"I..."
Jian Hengtian guiltily licked his lips and tacitly said, "Uh, heh heh, I just had an upset stomach and went to the back to take a shit."
Hearing this, everyone immediately rolled their eyes.
He was still a Martial Emperor of the seventh level, yet he had to go take a shit?
Li Canghai, as the only female among them, instinctively waved her palm and took a few steps away from Jian Hengtian.
However, they did not pursue the issue further and focused all their attention on Yi Feng ahead.
Seeing this, Jian Hengtian's little eyes flashed cunningly and he smiled triumphantly.
If these three fellows knew how much energy was contained in those leftover scraps, they would forcibly make him vomit out everything he had eaten on the spot!
But just as Jian Hengtian thought he could get away with it...
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, stunned.
"Oh no, I can't suppress my cultivation anymore, I'm about to break through."
He cursed loudly in his heart as his cultivation level and vital energy could no longer be contained and started erupting from his body.
This immediately attracted the attention of the other three people.
"Jian Hengtian, you...you're about to break through?"
The three asked in surprise.
"No...not at all, I just unintentionally leaked out some of it."
Jian Hengtian's face was flushed red from trying to suppress his cultivation, he stammered embarrassedly in response.
"Stop pretending, do you take us for fools?" Li Canghai said coldly.
"That's right, those are clearly signs that you've reached a bottleneck and are about to break through." Li Canghai also did not believe him one bit.
"Tell us, what exactly is going on?"
Yun Tianlong sternly demanded, "The four of us are Seventh Life Martial Emperors, but your cultivation has always lagged behind ours. How could you possibly be breaking through ahead of us when it would take us at least a few more decades to reach Eight Lives Martial Emperor?"
"That's right, explain yourself!"
"What have you been hiding from us?"
The three stared sharply at Jian Hengtian, their voices full of accusation.
"Uh..."
"Heh heh..."
Jian Hengtian's forehead dripped with sweat and he felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze, fidgeting anxiously.
"Admit it, you've actually been concealing your true strength all this while and were stronger than us from the start!" Li Canghai pressed on.
Hearing this, Jian Hengtian was instantly reminded of something and he quickly laughed it off, "Oh dear me, it looks like you've seen right through me!"
"Fine, since that's the case, I'll lay my cards on the table..."
"Actually, I've already obtained the legacy of the Founding Sword Emperor of Heng Tian Sword House. So my cultivation level has long surpassed yours. I just never told any of you about it." Jian Hengtian claimed proudly.
"What?"
"You actually received the Sword Emperor's legacy?"
Hearing this, the three looked at Jian Hengtian in disbelief.
"I can't believe it Jian Hengtian, you've been keeping such a low profile!"
"That's right, if not for your cultivation leaking out earlier, we would have been completely fooled by you."
"Damn you sly old fox, we always thought you were the weakest among the four of us. Turns out you were the strongest!"
The four heaped praise upon Jian Hengtian.
Although the Founding Sword Emperor of Heng Tian Sword House was only at the Tenth Life Martial Emperor level, not much higher than their Seventh Life cultivation level, historians acknowledged him as an exceptional figure.
So they had no doubts that obtaining his legacy enabled Jian Hengtian to break through.
"Just trying to keep it lowkey." Jian Hengtian pressed his palm downwards while grinning gleefully.
In truth, his ancestors' bones from Heng Tian Sword House had long turned to dust over the years. Where was there any legacy to inherit?
But since the three had already believed him, he had successfully overcome this hurdle.
"However, you can't break through now. The commotion risks disturbing that senior up ahead, which would be bad." Li Canghai said.
"Then what should I do?" Jian Hengtian asked anxiously.
"Forget it, the four of us are in the same boat now. We'll help suppress your cultivation first." Li Canghai conceded.
The rest agreed with no objections.
Soon, the trio worked together to temporarily force back the overflow of Jian Hengtian's cultivation.
Half a day later...
Peering through the thinning wisps of mist behind Yi Feng that had yet to fully disperse, the four could vaguely make out the gradually widening sky and their eyes instantly lit up.
"We're almost out of this valley."
"Once we're out of the poisonous fog, we can catch up to that senior right away."
"It's truly our fortune to meet someone like this!"
"I wonder what that senior looks like!"
"Who knows? This fog has not only obscured our sight but also completely shields our senses. Although we can faintly see his back, we can't make out his appearance at all."
"Who cares what he looks like. We definitely can't provoke someone so powerful anyway. Let's just make a good first impression." Jian Hengtian straightened his back and tidied his clothes, instantly putting on an upright bearing.
Compared to the others, he was especially eager to meet Yi Feng. After all, having consumed those leftover scraps, he understood the frightening extent of this person's capabilities better than the other three!

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. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... 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.”
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
