Gu Qingfeng scooped up Immortal Lord Xuanshuang and threw her over his shoulder, just like a bandit kidnapping a bride for his mountain stronghold.
"Let me go! Let me go right now!" Although Immortal Lord Xuanshuang was completely devoid of strength, she could still yell, and her voice was quite loud.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
"Ah! You dare hit me! You dare touch me with your dirty hands! When Lin Daoxuan finds out, he definitely won't let you off!"
"Well, isn't that a coincidence? This Emperor was just worrying about not being able to find Lin Daoxuan."
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Another brutal beating.
It had to be said, an Immortal Lord was an Immortal Lord—her resilience was extraordinary.
After the beating, Immortal Lord Xuanshuang finally settled down. She wasn't an idiot; right now, she was the fish on the chopping block. Provoking the other party would only bring her more torment.
"Tell me, how much do you know about Lin Daoxuan and his plans? Spit it out, every last detail."
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang kept her mouth shut.
"Jie jie jie... Actually, this Emperor was hoping you wouldn't speak."
Following that, the two figures vanished, appearing inside Gu Qingfeng's Eternal Demon Domain.
Upon arriving at the Eternal Demon Domain, several thick tentacles emerged, suspending Immortal Lord Xuanshuang spread-eagle in midair.
"So, where should we begin?" Gu Qingfeng said with excitement.
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang panicked. A powerhouse like her didn't fear death, but the stronger someone was, the more they valued their dignity. Gu Qingfeng's current actions were clearly trampling on her dignity, which was worse than killing her.
"What do you want to do! Ah!!!"
Murderous intent surged in Immortal Lord Xuanshuang's eyes: "You actually used your dirty hands... I will definitely kill you!!"
"Oh, still acting tough? This Emperor sees that you are still pure; you've probably been harboring an unrequited love for Lin Daoxuan all this time, right? Tell me, if you lose your purity, do you think Lin Daoxuan would even spare you a glance?"
As soon as these heart-piercing words were spoken, the stubbornness on Immortal Lord Xuanshuang's face instantly dissipated, her beautiful face turning pale.
"You... just ask."
"This world is a cage—what's that all about?"
"Above an Immortal Lord is an Immortal Venerable. The hallmark of an Immortal Lord is constructing a complete world, while the hallmark of an Immortal Venerable is a complete domain made up of countless worlds. The Fallen Star Abyss is the domain of an Immortal Venerable. He controls the birth and destruction of epochs. Without his permission, the living beings within the Dao Domain can never escape, nor can they ever surpass him to become an Immortal Venerable. Everything is just nourishment for him. Every Epoch Tribulation is a harvest by the Immortal Venerable," Immortal Lord Xuanshuang explained, as if accepting her fate.
Riiip!
"Ah! What are you doing!"
"You answered too slowly," Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.
"And what about the legend that reaching the Immortal Lord realm allows one to leave the Fallen Star Abyss?"
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang learned her lesson and spoke rapidly: "Those Immortal Lords didn't leave the Fallen Star Abyss at all. Instead, they took the initiative to surrender to the Immortal Venerable and willingly accepted him as their master. After all, an Immortal Venerable also needs subordinates."
Riiip!
"Ah! What are you doing now!"
"You spoke too fast, I couldn't hear clearly."
"What is Lin Daoxuan's plan?"
"He refused to submit and wanted to break the cage and escape the Fallen Star Abyss. Only by reaching the outside world would he have a chance to prove his Dao and become an Immortal Venerable. His plan is to initiate the Eternal Epoch, throwing the Fallen Star Abyss into chaos to weaken the world barrier, and then use the combined power of everyone to shatter it."
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang spoke at a moderate pace.
Riiip!
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!!"
"Don't get excited, it was just a habit."
"With you all causing so much trouble, does that Immortal Venerable not care?"
"An Immortal Venerable isn't invincible and naturally has other Immortal Venerable enemies. The one controlling the Fallen Star Abyss is injured and is currently slumbering," Immortal Lord Xuanshuang said, a mix of shame and anger on her face. She hadn't wanted to answer, but feared Gu Qingfeng would do something even more excessive, so she had no choice but to reply honestly.
"How did you find out the Immortal Venerable was slumbering?"
"Among the Immortal Lords who surrendered to the Immortal Venerable, we have a spy... No!!"
Riiip!
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang closed her eyes in despair, as if she had no face left to show anyone. She didn't say a word, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes as her whole body trembled.
"You only had this little fig leaf left anyway; whether it's there or not makes no difference."
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang didn't speak. She turned her head away, her eyes tightly shut. Shame, anger, and murderous intent intertwined, making her tremble faintly.
"Where can I find Lin Daoxuan?"
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang kept her eyes closed and refused to answer.
"Oh? So you don't want your purity anymore, actually daring to ignore this Emperor's question!"
Immortal Lord Xuanshuang suddenly opened her eyes, monstrous hatred filling them: "Purity! What purity do I even have left now! If you want to know Daoxuan's whereabouts, keep dreaming!"
"Giving up already? No way, no way, you don't actually think this Emperor only has this little trick up his sleeve, do you? Little Corpse Charm."
Gu Qingfeng clapped his hands and called for Little Corpse Charm.
"Master~!" Little Corpse Charm called out in a sickly sweet voice.
"Teach her this Emperor's rules."
Little Corpse Charm looked at Immortal Lord Xuanshuang with glowing eyes: "What a pretty big sister. Master, you rarely bring in newcomers lately."
"She is a mighty Immortal Lord, can you handle her?"
Little Corpse Charm grew even more excited: "The stronger they are, the firmer their Dao heart is. It will be quite challenging, but I will do my best."
After that, Gu Qingfeng handed Immortal Lord Xuanshuang over to Little Corpse Charm.
Three days later, the icy and aloof Immortal Lord Xuanshuang completely submitted to Little Corpse Charm and revealed the location where Lin Daoxuan might appear.
The First Star Ruin, Heaven-Severing Sect Headquarters.
Lin Daoxuan's sword was hidden there. As long as Lin Daoxuan resurrected, he would inevitably go to retrieve his sword.
After Gu Qingfeng heard this news, he had a realization. Thinking about it, since Lin Daoxuan set up his plan in the Heaven-Severing Sect, it was indeed highly likely that he hid his sword there.
The Heaven-Severing Sect was an ancient great sect. Perhaps, in its earliest days, this sect was established by Lin Daoxuan himself as a backup plan specifically for himself.
It was just that he had to head back again.
Day after day, he was running back and forth between the Heaven-Severing Sect and the Immortal Fall Battlefield.
However, before leaving, Gu Qingfeng decided to reward Immortal Lord Xuanshuang. He had always been clear about rewards and punishments; even if the other party was once an enemy, he remained magnanimous.
Three days later.
Gu Qingfeng emerged from the Eternal Demon Domain, exuding an unimaginably terrifying aura. The gloomy demonic light almost obscured the sky and earth. The Eternal Demon Domain had become even more perfect, and his strength was a whole tier higher than before.
Supported by such formidable strength, he relied on the power of the Eternal Demon Domain to cross the starry sky directly. In less than a day, he had already returned to the First Star Ruin.
It should be known that it had taken him a full month to travel from the First Star Ruin to the Ancient Epoch Well previously, but now his return trip took less than a day. Such speed was utterly unheard of.
Just as he entered the First Star Ruin, he heard a grand and mighty voice broadcasting across heaven and earth.
The voice was like the sound of the Great Dao, incomparably sacred, as if it could cleanse the soul, spreading to every corner.
"I am Immortal Monarch Huangtian, seeking to recruit disciples far and wide to rebuild the Huangtian Immortal Court. Any being with sentience may come to Heaven-Severing Peak three days from now to listen to my Dao preaching. I teach without discrimination; immortals, buddhas, gods, ghosts, and demons are all welcome to attend."

. 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!"

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.”

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
