Yuxu Sect.
Ye Chuan had stayed at the Yuxu Sect without leaving, at most occasionally logging off to grab a meal.
Having absorbed the soul essence of a Tribulation Transcendence realm expert, the timing for his breakthrough to the Mahayana realm was completely ripe.
"It is time to break through," Ye Chuan muttered, sweeping a glance over his interface.
[Breakthrough conditions met—]
[Breakthrough Target: Mahayana Realm]
[Materials required for breakthrough: Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid (0/1), Nine Tribulations Nirvana Grass (0/1), Purple Mansion Profound Heart Fruit (0/1), Heart Crystal (0/1), Dao Rhythm Stone (0/1)...
Reward: All divine ability attributes increased.]
Ye Chuan stared at the materials on the panel, lost in thought.
Why had he never seen any of these things before?
Weren't they a bit too rare?
Following that, Ye Chuan began searching through the storage bags of the cultivators from the Wutong Holy Land. Inside were piles of magical treasures and spirit stones. Ye Chuan did not care much for the treasures, as the ones he refined himself were better, but as for the spirit stones, the more the merrier.
Ultimately, he actually managed to dig out quite a few good things from Elder Chiyan's storage bag, including some of his breakthrough materials.
Worthy of being a big shot in the Tribulation Transcendence realm, not bad at all.
"As for the rest..." Ye Chuan knew a good place to ask.
He pushed open the door.
"Grandmaster, have you rested well?" Ji Lingxuan greeted him upon seeing him appear.
The Holy Son's attire today... Ye Chuan did not know if it was just his imagination, but it was not as gender-neutral as before. Dressed in a moon-white robe, she looked much more like a woman.
"Yes. Holy Son... I need to ask you something." Ye Chuan roughly listed the materials he needed.
"I need to break through my realm, but I am not very familiar with these spiritual items. I wanted to ask the Holy Son, does the Taichu Holy Land have these things?"
Hearing this, Ji Lingxuan thought carefully for a moment before speaking slowly, "My Taichu Holy Land can actually produce the majority of the materials you want."
She paused. "As for the rest, I will need to go and ask around."
Elder Ling, who was standing to the side, added, "Rest assured, Grandmaster, I will also go look for these materials."
Ji Lingxuan smiled faintly, her eyes full of sincerity as she looked at Ye Chuan. "You can put your mind at ease regarding the materials. Leave it to me, you just need to relax."
Ye Chuan's heart stirred slightly. He cupped his hands slightly toward Ji Lingxuan. "Thank you for your trouble, Holy Son. I will remember this favor."
What a good person.
I will never call you a sucker again.
She is practically a sugar mommy.
...
Ye Chuan originally thought that even with Ji Lingxuan making arrangements with all her might, it would at least take some time.
But just three days later, as the sky was barely beginning to brighten, Ji Lingxuan personally rushed to the Yuxu Sect carrying a glowing, carved jade box.
The jade box was crafted from ten-thousand-year warm jade. It was surrounded by rich spiritual energy and engraved with array formations to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out, clearly meant for storing supreme treasures.
"Grandmaster, everything is ready." Ji Lingxuan handed the jade box to him.
"All the materials you need have been gathered, and every single one is of high grade or above. The Nine Tribulations Nirvana Grass and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid are even of supreme grade."
So fast?!
Ye Chuan took the jade box and slowly opened it.
In an instant, five entirely different streams of spiritual light burst forth from the jade box, illuminating the entire main hall.
Ye Chuan checked the information on them; the quality was indeed extraordinary.
Good stuff.
"Supreme quality. Thank you, Holy Son." Ye Chuan's eyes lit up. Obviously, Ji Lingxuan had utilized the foundation of the Taichu Holy Land. This sincerity was not to be underestimated.
"Grandmaster, there is no need to be polite with me," Ji Lingxuan waved her hand.
Ye Chuan said, "Just call me Ye Chuan."
Ye Chuan...
Ji Lingxuan's heart stirred. Did this mean the other party had acknowledged her?
"There is one more thing."
"Tell me, Ye Chuan."
"I want to find a good location suitable for secluded cultivation."
A good location?
"That is easy." Ji Lingxuan smiled, having thought Ye Chuan was going to make some difficult request.
"The one thing the Taichu Holy Land does not lack is good locations for secluded cultivation. Ye Chuan, come back to the Taichu Holy Land with me."
Ye Chuan did not decline and immediately nodded. "Alright, let us set off now."
Afterward, Ye Chuan and Ji Lingxuan rode the Taichu Holy Land's flying ship together, speeding toward the Taichu Holy Land.
Soon, the flying ship arrived at the core area of the Taichu Holy Land, and a platform towering into the clouds impressively appeared before everyone's eyes.
This platform was a thousand zhang tall and entirely dark black. Its surface was covered with dense ancient array formations, within which faint golden spiritual light flowed. The base was surrounded by a spirit-gathering array, and countless streams of spiritual energy poured continuously into the platform like rivers.
Multiple defensive arrays were set up around it, layered upon each other, making it impregnable. It was built specifically by the Taichu Holy Land for cultivators to break through. For thousands of years, countless disciples of the Holy Land had safely broken through here without a single mishap.
"This is our Taichu Holy Land's Tribulation Platform. You can safely break through here. We will stand guard around the perimeter and will not let anyone disturb you."
Ji Lingxuan said, before retreating into the guardian array on the outskirts of the Tribulation Platform herself.
"Thank you, Holy Son!" Ye Chuan leaped up, landing right in the center of the Tribulation Platform and sitting cross-legged.
"Let us begin."
[Breaking through to the Mahayana Realm—]
The moment the system prompt sounded, the heavens and earth drastically changed!
Above the Taichu Holy Land, the originally clear and boundless sky was instantly and completely shrouded by dark, oppressive Chaos Thunder Clouds. The clouds churned with lightning and thunder, and a terrifying pressure poured down from the highest heavens, enveloping the entire Taichu Holy Land!
It was not the ordinary azure thunder tribulation, but a Chaos Divine Tribulation as black as ink!
Within the thunder clouds, pitch-black thunder dragons hundreds of zhang thick rolled and roared. Wherever the arcs of lightning passed, space was directly torn apart into pitch-black rifts. The apocalyptic aura caused the spiritual energy of the entire Taichu Holy Land to solidify!
"Rumble—!!!"
The first wave of the thunder tribulation crashed down. It was not just a single bolt, but hundreds and thousands of chaotic thunder pillars, smashing down mercilessly toward Ye Chuan on the Tribulation Platform like the collapse of heaven itself!
Wherever the thunder tribulation passed, the void collapsed and fierce winds howled. Even the grand sect-defending array that had protected the Taichu Holy Land for tens of thousands of years trembled violently under the pressure of this thunder tribulation, its spiritual light dimming!
The entire Taichu Holy Land completely exploded into an uproar!
"Heavens! What kind of thunder tribulation is this?! How could a thunder tribulation for breaking through to the Mahayana realm be this terrifying?!"
"This is the Chaos Thunder Tribulation! Legend has it that only when heaven-defying geniuses from the upper realms descend to the mortal world would they attract such a world-defying thunder tribulation! How could a mere Mahayana breakthrough trigger this kind of tribulation power?!"
"Too terrifying! The power of this thunder tribulation is more than ten times stronger than the thunder tribulation our elders faced when breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm!"
Ji Lingxuan and the two Tribulation Transcendence realm elders stood in the distance, thoroughly dumbfounded as they watched the apocalyptic Chaos Thunder Tribulation in the sky.
Elder Ling's body trembled as he cried out in shock, "Is... is this really a Mahayana realm thunder tribulation? I have lived for five thousand years and have never seen such heaven-defying tribulation power! Just what kind of physique does Mr. Ye have to actually attract such a divine tribulation!"
Elder Zhao was also full of horror. "An ordinary cultivator would have their soul completely extinguished just taking a single bolt! This thunder tribulation is enough to instantly kill an ordinary early-stage Tribulation Transcendence realm almighty expert!"
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."
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.
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.”
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
