"Old Li, are you kidding me?" Huang Qingtian blinked his eyes.
"I'm not kidding you."
Li Hongtian said seriously, "Jiang Zhi is someone you can't afford to offend. She has a big background, and because of your relationship with Zeng Rentu, it could lead you to disaster."
"The only way to save you now is to cripple Zeng Rentu before Jiang Zhi arrives, and take a side early, which might give you a slim chance of survival."
"To put it bluntly, I'm here to save you."
Huang Qingtian listened, dumbfounded.
Finally, he just laughed.
"Hahaha."
"Old Li, are you out of your mind?"
"You want me to cripple my son-in-law for a girl from the Reincarnation Immortal Realm? Are you serious?" Huang Qingtian asked with a stern face.
"I'm not kidding you."
Li Hongtian's expression remained serious.
"Alright, if you're not kidding, then tell me, where did you get the information that Jiang Zhi has a big background and I can't afford to offend her?"
Huang Qingtian asked back.
"It was told to me by the two great beings beside me," Li Hongtian said earnestly.
"Great beings?"
Huang Qingtian turned his head to Gong Chen and Lu Chong, sneering, "Li Hongtian, when did you become so low as to call two True Essence Immortal Realm cultivators 'great beings'?"
"You're really going backwards!"
"You actually believe others' nonsense and come to persuade me to cripple my son-in-law?"
Huang Qingtian became angrier and angrier, his aggressive gaze locking onto Gong Chen and Lu Chong.
"I want to see who you really are!"
"Who dares to deceive my friend."
With that, a giant hand materialized out of thin air and reached for the two.
Lu Chong remained expressionless.
He merely waved his hand.
Two golden buckets, shimmering with light, appeared out of nowhere.
The moment the buckets appeared, the pressure was overwhelming.
Huang Qingtian widened his eyes, not yet reacting, when one of the buckets descended upon him.
He was instantly pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"Ouch!"
Beside him, Li Hongtian gasped.
Although he knew Lu Chong was powerful, he didn't expect Huang Qingtian to be completely defenseless.
It seemed his decision was indeed correct!
Fortunately, he knew Huang Qingtian's temper and had warned Lu Chong in advance, so Lu Chong only used one bucket to suppress him.
If both buckets had been used, Huang Qingtian would probably have been crushed on the spot!
"Thank you, great being,"
Li Hongtian quickly thanked, his gaze filled with gratitude towards Lu Chong.
"Top-tier immortal artifacts, they are top-tier immortal artifacts."
"Who exactly are you?"
Pinned to the ground, Huang Qingtian shouted in disbelief, his eyes almost popping out, struggling desperately.
Lu Chong narrowed his eyes.
The other bucket was about to descend.
Seeing this, Li Hongtian quickly pleaded, "Please calm down, Lu brother, please calm down. My old friend is ignorant, and he needs some time to accept this. Let me talk to him."
Lu Chong glanced at the two and nodded.
He and Gong Chen left the room.
Seeing them leave, Li Hongtian let out a sigh of relief.
"Old Huang, you're being foolish, can't you see?"
"I'm trying to save you!"
Li Hongtian squatted down and said earnestly, "If it weren't for Lu brother showing mercy, under the suppression of those two top-tier buckets, do you think you'd still be alive?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"And who exactly are they?"
Huang Qingtian asked, coughing up blood, his eyes filled with fear of the buckets.
"Alas!"
"This story is a long one, but to put it simply, Lu brother comes from a mysterious place."
Li Hongtian explained.
"What place?" Huang Qingtian asked urgently.
"I don't know the exact place, but you just need to know that it's filled with experts and top-tier immortal artifacts." Li Hongtian said.
Huang Qingtian looked suspicious.
"Why would I lie to you? Didn't you see the buckets that hit you just now? Aren't they top-tier immortal artifacts?" Li Hongtian said patiently, "Have you ever seen top-tier immortal artifacts in the shape of buckets?"
"Confused, right?"
Huang Qingtian nodded.
"According to Lu brother, he's just a manure carrier there, and these buckets are assigned to him for carrying manure. That's why I said top-tier immortal artifacts are common there." Li Hongtian continued, "That's also why these buckets are top-tier immortal artifacts!"
Hearing this, Huang Qingtian's forehead veins bulged.
Lu Chong is just a manure carrier?
And these top-tier immortal artifacts are just for carrying manure?
This sounded so unreal that it made him question the reality of the world.
"I know you don't believe it, but you have to, the buckets that suppressed you are real, you should be able to feel it yourself." Li Hongtian said, "And can you smell the manure in the room?"
Huang Qingtian nodded.
"That's right,"
Li Hongtian said, "This just proves that these top-tier buckets are indeed for carrying manure."
"Doesn't this just confirm what I said earlier?"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
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.”
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!
