"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!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
