"You're sure you didn't misread?"
Chen Xian was full of questions.
A dung beetle at the level of a True Immortal? It was simply unheard of, never seen before.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of cultivation method this thing could be using.
Was it just by rolling dung?
"Of course, I didn't misread," Huang Zhen said gravely. "Not only that, but I also found several rabbits, bees, and butterflies that are all at the level of True Immortals."
"Sss!"
Chen Xian gasped sharply, his big eyes full of disbelief.
Although in this era of cultivation, any living creature could cultivate, different races determined the upper limits, right?
Things like bees and rabbits, at most, could only extend their lifespan through cultivation.
The shock of these creatures becoming True Immortals was far greater than the sight of a man who had lost his 'roots' somehow managing to make his wife pregnant with three thousand babies in one go.
“So, it's certain that there must be something unknown hidden in this mountain,” Huang Zhen said. “It’s precisely because of this thing that the dark aura in our bodies dissipated, and even the dung beetle became a True Immortal.”
Chen Xian nodded seriously.
He thought the same.
But what exactly was this thing?
And where was it hidden?
The two of them touched their chins, deep in thought.
"I got it!"
Suddenly, while thinking, Huang Zhen seemed to remember something, jumped up, clapped his hands, and exclaimed.
"What is it?"
Chen Xian quickly asked.
"It's the latrine!"
Huang Zhen exclaimed happily. "Do you remember, when we first arrived, I mentioned that this latrine was extraordinary, the smell it gave off made people feel refreshed."
Chen Xian nodded.
Huang Zhen had indeed said that at the beginning.
Huang Zhen even mentioned checking it out.
But he was stopped by Chen Xian's remark, "Do you really think there's some kind of opportunity in a latrine?" which resulted in them not paying any more attention to it.
But now.
Apart from this latrine, they had searched the area thoroughly and found nothing.
Could it be that there was really something hidden in this latrine?
"Should we take a look?"
Huang Zhen suggested.
"Alright!"
Chen Xian nodded.
The two of them looked at the latrine not far away and approached it step by step.
When they arrived at the latrine, the stench became stronger.
But along with the stench came a feeling that perked up their spirits.
This feeling was like a woman on her period drinking brown sugar water, or a tired person having a cup of hot coffee, instantly clearing away their negative states.
"Hah, I told you before, didn't I? The smell can bring a refreshing feeling. Now you believe me, right?" Huang Zhen exclaimed happily. "Now it seems that the reason for the disappearance of the dark aura in our bodies is probably due to this latrine."
Chen Xian nodded.
Now he believed Huang Zhen's words, because at this moment, he could clearly feel that his overall state had improved significantly.
It wasn't that he didn't believe it before.
After all, who could have thought that a latrine could hide something?
The two of them looked down.
It was called a latrine, but in reality, it wasn't very big. The latrine was covered with tree branches and leaves, making it difficult to see its true appearance.
The two of them exchanged glances, bent down, and simultaneously pulled away the branches and leaves covering it.
At the moment they pulled it away, the stench that had been suppressed underneath came gushing out.
The smell was so overwhelming that it almost knocked the two of them out on the spot.
But they didn't flee.
On the contrary, they greedily inhaled the smell.
Hah, Hah, Hah...
They breathed rapidly, almost as if they were afraid to miss a single bit of the stench.
The reason for this was that in the instant the stench entered their noses, they both discovered that the dark aura in their bodies was disappearing at a visible speed.
In that very moment, the two of them had already determined that the reason for the disappearance of the dark aura was because of the stench from this latrine.
Therefore, compared to the dark aura that affected their cultivation and caused hallucinations and demonic transformations, this stench was, in fact, the best medicine in the world.
It was unclear whether it was because of the two of them greedily breathing or because a gust of wind blew by, but the overwhelming stench finally diminished somewhat.
Only then did the two of them lean over to look into the latrine.
But leaning over like this wasn't good. As soon as they did, over a hundred True Immortal auras suddenly surged from the latrine.
As far as the eye could see, there were dozens of flies and dozens of dung beetles.
The two of them stared wide-eyed at each other.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
Their hearts were like stormy seas, unable to calm down for a long time.
But now they had the answer as to why there were True Immortal dung beetles in this mountain, because they had just witnessed it with their own eyes.
However, what kind of terrifying latrine, no, what kind of terrifying spiritual pool was this, that it could give birth to so many True Immortals and allow so many lowly creatures to rise like carp leaping over a dragon gate?
Speaking of a small episode that neither the two of them nor Yi Feng knew about.
Since there were dung beetles and flies in the latrine, there must also be maggots that lived alongside the dung.
Countless maggots here formed a small world similar to an ant kingdom.
Only a few days ago, a young man from another world who had died from staying up late playing King of Glory was reincarnated into this world as a maggot.
And he had awakened the Maggot God Evolution System.
In this small world, he crawled and rolled, moving forward step by step.
The future was foreseeable. Starting from this point, he would embark on a legendary journey in this world, evolving from a maggot to a worm, from a worm to a snake, from a snake to a python, from a python to a jiāo (a mythical creature resembling a dragon), and ultimately from a jiāo to a dragon.
Of course, this was a small accident unrelated to the two of them or Yi Feng.

Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

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. ...

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.”
