"Damn this crappy maze."
"When will it ever end?"
On the way.
Yi Feng grumbled.
It seemed he recalled the fear he felt in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, with that Yun Yaoyao, in that secret realm maze.
Back then.
If it wasn't for his stash of beef jerky, he probably would have starved to death by now.
Therefore, having no idea when he would finally get out, Yi Feng began preparing in advance.
Thus, whenever he encountered a yāo shòu yě shòu (dire beasts), he just stuffed them all in.
Moreover, to maintain fresh flavors and ensure he could eat fresh food later, instead of killing these little critters right away, he captured them alive, tying up their limbs and tossing them into his Space Ring.
That way.
If he couldn't get out in a short time, he could still ensure his quality of life.
In the heart of the Third Level training ground of the Sacred Mountain Palace.
Zeng Xian at the forefront had already communicated with the array core and took out the exclusive Jade Tablet to control the Sacred Mountain Palace.
His aura was already fluctuating at this moment.
"Ancestor, since we can pool everyone's strength to fully activate the array, why not do the same to close it? This way, we can definitely enter the Second Level to find him, and even learn what happened to Ancestor Deng Chao!" Luo Yuan asked beside him.
"Hmph, do you really think that after the array is activated, it can be closed just like that?"
"With your abilities, you don't have that power."
Zeng Xian said with a gloomy expression.
Apparently.
The construction of the Sacred Mountain Palace was considered from all angles.
So there is a mechanism where it's relatively easy to open but difficult to close.
Otherwise, if a real crisis happens and not enough people are around, wouldn't this Sacred Mountain Palace be useless?
"But, but if it's really opened, could Ancestor Deng Chao be in danger?"
Wang Yiyun couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, if the array is activated, Old Deng inside will sense it, and as long as he doesn't act rashly, it won't affect him." Zeng Xian said: "Besides, Old Deng has a Transmission Jade Tablet, he can teleport out anytime."
While explaining, Zeng Xian glanced at the River Map and saw Yi Feng approaching another Guardian Spirit Beast, his urgency rising.
"What are you standing around for? Start your cultivation and assist me in activating the array!"
Zeng Xian couldn't help but shout.
Seeing this, the others didn't dare to delay, quickly activating their immortal energy and directing it towards Zeng Xian at the center.
Enormous power converged into one, with Zeng Xian at the core, merging into the array core of the Sacred Mountain Palace.
In an instant.
The entire Sacred Mountain Palace resonated with earth-shaking noises.
The Palace's full array—Activated!
In the passageway of the Second Level, countless killing arrays, illusion arrays, concealment arrays, and auxiliary arrays simultaneously activated. Various mechanisms were also on standby.
Under such an arrangement, the entire Second Level was fraught with peril.
Anything that triggered an array or mechanism would face a series of deadly attacks.
This wasn't all.
All the contracted demon beasts of the Second Level would be awakened.
Not only did their nests reside here, but they themselves were part of the mechanisms. That is, after being awakened, they would not be attacked by the Second Level's arrays and mechanisms.
At the same time.
They would directly enter hunt mode, searching for prey.
Exterminate all living beings in the entire Second Level.
Under such an arrangement, anyone entering here would have no chance of survival. After all, the Sacred Mountain Palace itself was the Heavenly Tyrant Sect's trump card, so it definitely had something to it.
Originally, Zeng Xian bore no grudge against Yi Feng, and he harbored no killing intent towards him.
On the contrary, sending Deng Chao to test him was with the intention of recruiting Yi Feng as a subordinate.
However.
He never expected this kid to be so damn infuriating.
Guardian Spirit Beasts were being annihilated left and right.
If he didn't do something, all the demon beasts of his Heavenly Tyrant Sect would be wiped out.
After the complete activation of the Sacred Mountain Palace, everyone on the Third Level focused their gaze on the River Map.
They saw.
Yi Feng, who was originally moving, had stopped.
Seeing this.
Zeng Xian's lips curled slightly.
So that's it?
Run away.
Try to run away some more!
Aren't you quite good at turning around? Let's see how you do that now.
With the Sacred Mountain Palace activated, can't you barely even move, stuck in place?
Thinking about those vanished mounts and guardian beasts, Zeng Xian felt particularly vindicated.
However.
He didn't know that.
At this moment, Yi Feng was complaining about the uncleanliness of his setup and found a spot to squat down.
Can't move?
Not possible.
Array?
Yi Feng didn't even notice it.
Defecating...
Is the way to go!

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.”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
