Three months had passed, and the island had undergone significant changes.
Yi Feng had finally accumulated enough karmic value to open the transmission array to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
He directly purchased the transmission array connecting Dark Shadow Island to the Heaven and Earth Sect from the karmic exchange shop.
Eager to transport back, he was about to activate it when the system's voice rang out.
"Ding: Due to the host's recent good performance, you are rewarded with a twelve-level cultivation increase. Additionally, the exchange shop has launched exclusive special offers."
Upon hearing this news, Yi Feng, already elated about returning to the Heaven and Earth Sect, began to dance with joy.
"Eight levels?"
"Twelve levels at once?"
Yi Feng excitedly counted on his fingers.
Mid-stage Human Immortal, late-stage Human Immortal, peak Human Immortal...
By this calculation, wouldn't he have reached Golden Immortal cultivation?
Yi Feng could barely contain his excitement.
However.
He didn't get too carried away.
After all, from what he knew, even a Golden Immortal was still a small fry in the Immortal Realm.
But this at least gave him hope. It seemed the system was showing signs of empowering him gradually!
After suppressing his excitement, he quickly opened the exchange shop.
After all, he had noticed the "exclusive special offers" the system mentioned earlier. This was the first time he'd heard of such a thing, so he was eager to satisfy his curiosity.
As soon as he opened it.
Yi Feng's face lit up.
Because these exclusive special offers exceeded Yi Feng's expectations.
The special offers weren't items, but rather 1,100 slots.
These 1,100 slots corresponded to 1,000 Human Immortals and 100 Earth Immortals, each priced at a special rate of one point per slot.
In simple terms, Yi Feng could use 1,100 points to create 1,000 Human Immortals and 100 Earth Immortals.
"This is fantastic!"
"The 100 Earth Immortal slots will go to those useless disciples of mine."
"As for the 1,000 Human Immortal slots, I'll give them to the old men and women on the island who catch my eye."
Thinking of this, Yi Feng couldn't help but sigh.
He remembered.
When he first became a Human Immortal, he was overjoyed, feeling like he could pierce the heavens.
Now.
He could use the system to create 1,100 immortals in one go. It was unimaginable before.
It truly was a case of one person's success benefiting all around them.
Just as he had opened the channel to the Heaven and Earth Sect, he could now bring them to the Immortal Realm to broaden their horizons. The timing couldn't be better.
However, thinking of his disciples reminded Yi Feng of the system's previous prompt about taking on a final disciple.
So he couldn't help but speak out.
"System, call out. You told me to take on a final disciple, but shouldn't you give me some selection criteria?"
"Ding!"
"The criterion is that there is no criterion!"
"As long as the system approves, it's fine."
The system's voice came through, making Yi Feng, who had been in a good mood, bare his teeth and wave his arms in frustration.
Damn it.
Who knows what it takes to get your approval.
If you say look at talent, well, that talent detection function is long gone.
If you say look at cultivation level, this weakling standing on the street can't tell any difference at a glance, everyone looks the same. He can't see who's higher or lower.
Well.
It all comes down to fate.
"Let's leave it to chance!" he grumbled.
After explaining things to Gong Chen and the others, Yi Feng prepared to transport back to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Before transporting.
He specially changed into new clothes.
The transmission array activated, breaking open the clouds above the Heaven and Earth Sect.
He descended upon the Heaven and Earth Sect with full grandeur.
"Look!"
"It's the master!"
"The master has returned."
"The master's appearance is truly radiant!"
"Indeed, breaking through the clouds and walking down, such abilities simply treat the laws of heaven and earth as nothing!"
A small portion of people who had recently arrived on the island exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this!
"What are you so excited about?"
Nearby, several old men playing chess glared at these youngsters and said sternly, "Look at you, acting like you've never seen the world. Is this such a big deal?"
"That's right, isn't this normal for the master?"
"Look at you all, making such a fuss."
"Young lads, don't blame us for saying this, but if you stay in Pingjiang City and the Heaven and Earth Sect for a while, you'll understand that all incredible things happening to the master are normal."
"Yes, stay long enough, and even if you see the master tear the sky in half one day, there's no need to make a fuss. It might just be because the master lost his money pouch again."
The old men lectured.
Then they went back to their chess game.
"Checkmate!"
"Damn, no, no, let me take that move back."
"You old bastard, have you no shame?"
Meanwhile, the other old men and women nearby continued their business as usual. Those selling tofu sold tofu, those selling turtles sold turtles, showing no reaction to what was happening in the sky.
They had seen it all.
Nothing surprised them anymore.
"Damn it!"
In the sky.
The majestic Yi Feng cursed.
Were these old folks at the Heaven and Earth Sect missing a screw in their heads?
He had gone to great lengths to show off using the system, descending in such a grand manner, yet there was no reaction?
They could at least come over and pay respects, as if a deity had descended.
If not that, at least a gasp or two of surprise?
"Pork Rong!"
He descended from the sky and came to Pork Rong's stall.
"Hello, master."
"Would you like some pork trotters?"
Pork Rong chopped off a front trotter and handed it over.
Looking at the pork trotter before him, Yi Feng's face darkened.
Damn it.
Is this about pork trotters?
At least give some reaction.
In front of you lot, I should at least be considered a powerful expert, right?
Couldn't you marvel a bit at how amazing I am?
Well.
Showing off failed.
He shouldn't have tried to show off in front of these slow-reacting old men and women.
In the short time he had been away.
The scale of development on the island had reached unimaginable proportions.
The street along the edge of the island was even busier than Pingjiang City used to be.
The headquarters of the Baofeng Chamber of Commerce seemed to have moved over as well.
The manure-carrying business also seemed to have become more proficient.
Having returned and failed to show off, Yi Feng could only relax, playing chess with the old men and playing cards at Yi Hong Yard.
However, before that, he also sent out jade slips to contact those disciples he wasn't particularly close to, asking them to come back. He planned to elevate them to Earth Immortals and then take them to broaden their horizons in the Immortal Realm.
In an unknown location.
A black palace.
The front was covered with curtains, behind which lay a person of unknown appearance.
"Reporting to the Emissary."
"The soul lamps of the Ten Heavenly Stems have been extinguished."
A subordinate knelt on the outskirts, respectfully reporting.
"What about the world-destroying calamity?"
A voice came from behind the curtains.

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

+【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!

u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.

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!
