"Then doesn’t that mean you now possess the Three Saintly Physiques?" one of the sect elders suddenly exclaimed.
"Shh." Gu Qingfeng glanced at him and said, "Keep it low-key. Just three measly Saintly Physiques—nothing worth mentioning, really."
Though Gu Qingfeng claimed to be keeping it low-key, his voice was louder than anyone else’s. Everyone present was a cultivator, and they all heard him clearly, their lips twitching slightly.
Yet none dared to criticize him, for they knew the man standing before them was the Young Heavenly Emperor!
With such talent, if he didn’t ascend to the throne of an emperor, who could?
"Ahem..." Gu Qingfeng suddenly coughed twice, deliberately drawing everyone’s attention.
"Actually, I don’t just have three Saintly Physiques—I have four," he casually dropped another bombshell.
"Four Saintly Physiques?!"
The crowd erupted in shock, exchanging stunned glances.
"How do you even have four?" Dugu Wei asked, disbelief written all over his face.
Gu Qingfeng merely smiled without answering.
But the next moment—
ROAR!
A dragon’s cry and an elephant’s bellow shook the heavens.
In an instant, the phantom forms of the Prison-Suppressing Demon Dragon and the Prison-Suppressing Divine Elephant erupted from his body, blotting out the sky! Their savage, tyrannical aura swept through the entire area.
Some of the weaker disciples were so terrified they stumbled back, collapsing to the ground.
Of course, this was only a fraction of Gu Qingfeng’s true power. If he unleashed the full might of his Prison-Suppressing Dragon-Elephant Physique, it would rival that of a Celestial Realm expert—utterly monstrous.
Dugu Wei and the others paled, their shock now bordering on numbness.
"Another... another Saintly Physique?!" one of the elders stammered, his voice distorted from sheer astonishment.
Gu Qingfeng grinned even wider under their stunned gazes.
He reveled in this kind of attention and didn’t care in the slightest about revealing his Prison-Suppressing Dragon-Elephant Physique.
Because, frankly, it didn’t matter anymore.
Three Saintly Physiques alone were already unprecedented, unmatched in history—so how could he possibly stay low-key now?
To put it bluntly, with True Immortal Physiques absent from the world, three Saintly Physiques already made him the most talented being in existence.
It was like being the richest person in the world—whether you had three trillion or four trillion, it made no real difference. Either way, you’d never run out.
That was Gu Qingfeng’s mindset. Since he was already this high-profile—having even slain a Heavenly Emperor—and was destined to shake the world, why bother pretending to be humble?
Might as well go all out!
Those who wanted to scheme against him wouldn’t change their minds just because he had one more or one less Saintly Physique.
So why not enjoy the show?
He wanted the whole world to know—he was the real deal, the absolute pinnacle!
"What kind of Saintly Physique is this?" Dugu Wei asked numbly.
"The Prison-Suppressing Dragon-Elephant Physique. I once practiced a body-refining technique called the Prison-Suppressing Dragon-Elephant Art. But after absorbing the Indestructible Sword Physique, the three Saintly Physiques in my body seemed to trigger some kind of profound reaction. Next thing I knew, another one popped out."
Gu Qingfeng sighed dramatically. "Sect Leader, tell me—with so many Saintly Physiques, do you think my body might develop some... complications?"
Dugu Wei: "..."
The others listened to his sarcastic words, feeling their Dao hearts shatter on the spot. If this counted as a "complication," then they all wished they could suffer the same fate!
"Enough. Everyone, disperse. Gu Qingfeng, come with me." Dugu Wei hurriedly issued the order before swiftly leading Gu Qingfeng and the seven elders away.
......
Inside the Sword Sect’s grand hall.
Only Dugu Wei and the seven elders remained.
They stared at Gu Qingfeng as if he were some kind of monster.
The scrutiny made him uncomfortable. After all, no man enjoyed being ogled by so many old men.
So, instinctively, he sidled closer to Senior Sister Lin.
The faint fragrance emanating from her soothed his nerves slightly.
"Everyone, what are your thoughts on Gu Qingfeng’s situation?" Dugu Wei suddenly asked, his expression grave.
"Unfathomable."
"Inconceivable."
"Unprecedented."
"Unimaginable."
"Hey, hey, hey—are we playing word association here?" Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but interject.
"Gu Qingfeng, do you understand what your talent signifies?" Dugu Wei pressed solemnly.
"That I’m the Young Heavenly Emperor?"
Dugu Wei shook his head. "Your talent surpasses even that of a Heavenly Emperor. Four Saintly Physiques may very well rival a True Immortal Physique. It’s certain that, in the future, you will cultivate a genuine Immortal Physique and contend for the throne of an emperor.
You are the most promising candidate to become the next Heavenly Emperor.
But that also means countless people in this world will want you dead.
Every major faction—even the imperial courts and immortal sects—seek to nurture their own disciples into Heavenly Emperors. And you? You’re a threat to all of them. You’ll be seen as a thorn in their side, a target to eliminate at all costs."
"People these days really can’t stand others being better than them, huh?" Gu Qingfeng muttered, a hint of unease creeping into his voice.
"Anyway, Sect Leader, before we get into all that—could you tell me which region of the Cangming Realm is controlled by demons?"
After sensing the world’s hostility toward him, all he wanted now was to return to the embrace of his "family."
"Stop changing the subject. I’m trying to explain the gravity of the situation. But rest assured—since you are a member of the Sword Sect, we will protect you."
Gu Qingfeng nearly rolled his eyes. Protect him? The Sword Sect was already infiltrated by humanoid demons! How could they protect anyone?
If anything, he’d probably end up protecting them.
"Brothers, I’ve decided to seal the mountain. Right now, the entire Sword Sect knows about Junior Brother Gu’s abilities. The only way to suppress this information is to close our gates.
Otherwise, even if we disregard distant threats, the sects of the Green Wood Domain alone will never let this slide."
The other elders nodded grimly in agreement.
"Junior Brother Gu, before this, you offended many factions in the Green Wood Domain. But given the Sword Sect’s reputation, they treated it as minor friction—nothing beyond the grudge with the Netherworld Sect.
But now, things are different. Once they learn of your talent, they will act. They might even unite to attack us.
In the Sword Sect’s heyday, the entire Green Wood Domain was our backyard, and we ruled over all other sects as their sovereign.
But now that we’ve declined, you represent our hope for resurgence. Those factions will never allow another sovereign to rise above them. So, until you reach the Celestial Realm, you must remain within the mountain and focus on cultivation.
Leave the outside world to me."
Gu Qingfeng nodded. "Sect Leader, you’re the kind of guy who steps up when it counts."
Dugu Wei ignored Gu Qingfeng’s odd phrasing, his face lined with worry as he sighed. "Ah, for the Sword Sect to produce such a prodigy... yet we are no longer the sect we once were. In the past, we would have announced this to the world, proclaiming our glory and paving your way to greatness.
But now? We can only seal our gates and hide the truth.
If only the Emperor-Slaying Sword hadn’t gone out of control... With it in hand, even if the entire Green Wood Domain united against us, they could never breach our mountain."
] 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.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
+【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.

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!
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!
