"We need crystal cores." Hearing the anxious inquiries from members of the super-powered families about how to purchase them, Wang Yanran spoke up at this moment.
Crystal cores?
What are those?
Seeing the puzzled looks exchanged among the crowd, Wang Yanran pulled out the crystal core Ye Chuan had temporarily entrusted to her from her pocket.
"This—rare materials found inside monsters. Every monster has a chance to drop them, though the probability isn't very high."
The crystal core resting in Wang Yanran's palm emitted a faint glow, causing some of the super-powered individuals to suddenly recall—they had seen this material before, though they had handed it over to the alliance for research.
"Ten crystal cores can be exchanged for a Level 9 transformation device, and three can get you a Level 5 one," Wang Yanran announced. "Limited stock available."
Ten!
"Ten doesn’t seem like much… We can buy them… There might even be opportunities to procure them from rifts abroad." Some of the sharper super-powered individuals quickly grasped the situation, realizing they needed to act fast to gather crystal cores, and promptly excused themselves.
The others, seeing this, also hurriedly left the Wang residence, intending to inform their families and mobilize efforts to collect these materials from monsters in the rifts as quickly as possible.
Soon, all the super-powered individuals had departed, leaving only Wang Nuonuo standing nearby in her armor, resembling an oversized figurine.
"Sis, can I deactivate my transformation now?"
"Mm, go ahead."
The armor dissolved into particles of light and vanished. Wang Nuonuo stared at the transformation device in her hand, her eyes practically sparkling. "Sis, can I keep this?"
"No, Nuonuo," Wang Yanran immediately refused. "This doesn’t belong to us, and you’re still too young to handle this kind of power."
"But I can! I just flattened that uncle earlier!"
"No—"
"Fine." Wang Nuonuo obediently handed over the device, though her eyes darted around mischievously as she watched her sister take it. "Sis, if I collect crystal cores, can I exchange them for a transformation device too?"
"You think it’s that easy to gather them?" Wang Yanran poked her sister’s nose. "Alright, go play in your room."
"Okay, I’m off then."
"Mm."
Meanwhile, Ye Chuan received a message from Wang Yanran—
"Ye Chuan, the news has spread. The families responded very enthusiastically. I’ve heard even super-powered families from other regions are interested, including some from overseas."
Hearing the voice message, Ye Chuan grinned.
This was perfect. Transformation devices that cost him just tens of thousands to produce could be traded for so many crystal cores. The power of numbers truly was immense.
He’d been scraping by, barely managing to extract two cores a day through exhausting effort.
The idea of cultivating an agent had definitely been the right move—it saved him an enormous amount of trouble.
Ye Chuan glanced at the manufacturing interface on his phone and mass-produced several dozen Level 9 transformation devices. To him, these were trivial to make. If they could be traded for crystal cores, it was practically like picking up free loot.
"Ah, this is the life." He checked his tech tree. Though the densely packed skills required a terrifying number of crystal cores, the thought of sitting back and waiting for them to roll in eased his mind considerably.
After organizing his backpack, his gaze landed on the item labeled "Anywhere Door."
[Item: Anywhere Door
Can travel to any visited location, ignoring spatial constraints (3/3)
Rechargeable]
"Could this thing take Qian Shuang back to Tianxuan Continent?" Ye Chuan pondered. If it could go anywhere he’d been, and he’d been to Tianxuan Continent, then logically, it should work.
Especially since it explicitly stated "any space."
A conceptual-level artifact.
"Only three uses left—meaning just one round trip would nearly exhaust it." He tapped his fingers, then noticed the recharge condition: crystal cores.
Both tech-based items and unlocking the tech tree required crystal cores.
"If recharging just needs crystal cores, that’s manageable."
Having settled on this, Ye Chuan decided to test the Anywhere Door’s effects.
A trip to Tianxuan Continent it is.
He pulled the Anywhere Door from his backpack—a simple door that could adhere to any surface like a magnet.
"Take me to Tianxuan Continent, my quarters in Qingyun Sect." Ye Chuan silently willed the destination.
He pulled the door open, revealing a blue glow reminiscent of rift energy, and stepped through.
"..."
The light obscured his vision at first, but as it faded, Ye Chuan looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar place.
The air carried a faint antiseptic smell, with a hint of… urine?
A… restroom.
"A restroom?" Ye Chuan blinked, staring dumbly at the urinals nearby.
Wait, where the hell am I?
This made no sense. Wasn’t this supposed to bypass any space?
Why was he still in the modern world?
There’s no way Qingyun Sect had places like this, right?
A thought struck him. He pulled out his phone and checked his location—only to find himself in Jining, over two thousand kilometers from Haizhu City.
"Huh?"
This was still his modern world, not Qingyun Sect.
Did it malfunction?
Ye Chuan glanced back at the Anywhere Door, then stuck his head through it, confirming the other side led back to his room.
In the end, he returned to his room, closed the door, and stowed it away in his backpack.

"I don’t get it. I clearly aimed for Qingyun Sect." Ye Chuan scrutinized the Anywhere Door in his inventory. Logically, it shouldn’t fail.
"Could it be because the distance is too great?"
If it couldn’t reach Tianxuan Continent, then taking Bai Qianshuang back might be impossible.
"Or is this thing broken?" He took the Anywhere Door out again, placed it against the wall, and willed another destination—
Luo Xi’s room.
Click. He turned the handle and stepped through.
His vision flickered briefly, and a familiar, delicate fragrance greeted him.
Ye Chuan now stood inside Luo Xi’s room. Nearby, a girl was changing clothes, humming a cheerful tune as she flipped her hair. "I’m a little meow~ a happy starry meow~"
Luo Xi, holding a hair tie in her mouth, suddenly froze when she sensed something and turned around.
Her eyes locked onto Ye Chuan, who stood just a few steps behind her.
Several seconds of silence passed.
"Eh? Chuan?!" Luo Xi yelped in surprise.
"What’s wrong, Xi?" Luo's mother’s voice called from outside the door.
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.”
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?
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
