The Imperial Sword seemed to understand him, and its blade trembled slightly.
Ye Chuan took a careful look.
It was a fine sword.
Even so, Ye Chuan still preferred the Demon Sword Beiana.
When all was said and done, the only reason he used a sword was because wielding one looked cool. His greatest reliance had nothing to do with swords in the first place.
The Zixiao Palace Master let out a soft laugh. “What’s the point of immortal ores and an Imperial Sword?”
“If Young Friend Ye Chuan is willing to come to Zixiao Immortal Palace, I can open the Zixiao Divine Pool and let you and the two ladies accompanying you cultivate there together.”
“In addition, the palace has preserved one hundred thousand immortal arts and three thousand dual-cultivation techniques. If you’re interested, you may study them at your leisure.”
Dual cultivation?
Lan Xiaoke immediately became vigilant.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Ye Chuan’s neck and stared at the Zixiao Palace Master for a long while.
“Is your immortal palace really proper? I alone am enough to fill a cup.”
The smile on the Zixiao Palace Master’s face stiffened slightly.
“Of course it is.”
“If it’s a proper immortal palace, why does it have three thousand dual-cultivation techniques?”
Lan Xiaoke’s face was full of suspicion. “I think you want to trick Ye Chuan into going there, then secretly do bad things to him while I’m asleep.”
The surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Several female disciples standing behind the Zixiao Palace Master couldn’t help covering their mouths as they snickered.
The Zixiao Palace Master wasn’t angry. Instead, she looked at Lan Xiaoke with great interest.
“Don’t worry.”
“If I truly take a liking to Young Friend Ye Chuan, I’ll say so right in front of you. There’s no need to sneak around.”
Lan Xiaoke grew even more wary.
Hu Li also silently moved a little closer to Ye Chuan.
Watching the situation grow more and more chaotic, Ye Chuan finally began to lose patience.
These people had been arguing back and forth for so long, yet not one of them had asked what he actually needed.
More importantly—
With more than a dozen Immortal Venerables releasing their auras at the same time, the surrounding space had already begun to shatter continuously. If this continued, the entire Qingshan Town would be destroyed.
“Everyone, please stop.”
Ye Chuan’s voice was not loud.
Yet the instant those words fell, all the auras released by the Immortal Venerables in the sky froze at the same time.
Sword intent, demonic energy, alchemical flames, purple radiance—
Every form of power seemed to freeze in place before being erased from the heavens and earth by a faint black-gold radiance.
The space that had been shattering moments ago rapidly restored itself.
The mountains trembling around Qingshan Town also fell silent, as though nothing had happened at all!
Lu Taixu’s expression changed slightly.
He discovered that he could still sense the vast immortal power within his body, but no matter how he urged it, he could not make it leave his body.
The laws of heaven and earth had rejected him!
Or rather—
After Ye Chuan spoke, this stretch of heaven and earth no longer belonged, even temporarily, to Immortal Venerables like them!
The Imperial Sword beneath Gu Changge’s feet let out a mournful cry.
The sword light that had stretched across the sky instantly retracted. The enormous sword rapidly shrank before transforming into a three-foot azure blade that fell into Gu Changge’s hand.
The golden-robed man’s golden beast was even more decisive.
All four of its legs knelt on the clouds at once, its enormous head lowered as far as it could go. It did not dare raise its eyes to look at Ye Chuan.
With a single sentence, he had caused more than a dozen Immortal Venerables to lose control over the laws of heaven and earth.
A Golden Immortal had suppressed Immortal Venerables with a single word!
Was this really a Golden Immortal?
This…
How was this possible?!
When an ordinary Golden Immortal faced an Immortal Venerable, merely being able to remain standing would already be considered astonishing talent.
Yet Ye Chuan, a peak Golden Immortal, had suppressed more than a dozen Immortal Venerables with a single sentence—and was still asking them what was wrong?
The number one throughout the ages!
Ye Chuan’s combat prowess had clearly surpassed the limits of what any ordinary cultivation realm could measure!
The Tianji Pavilion Master reached out and took out an ancient bronze mirror.
The surface of the mirror was covered in star patterns, while countless tiny lines of karma intertwined around it.
“This is the Tianji Immortal Pavilion’s Bone-Illuminating Mirror. It can determine one’s true bone age and can also prevent the effects of possession, rebirth, and reincarnation techniques.”
“May I ask Young Friend to allow this old man to verify it once?”
Ye Chuan didn’t really care. “Go ahead.”
The Bone-Illuminating Mirror floated into midair.
A beam of starlight descended from its surface, enveloping Ye Chuan’s entire body. Soon, a line of clear text appeared.
[Bone age: Twenty.]
Immediately afterward, a second line of text slowly emerged.
[Realm: Peak Golden Immortal.]
The third line appeared with great difficulty. The mirror even began to tremble violently.
[Unable to deduce.]
[Destined for Great Emperorhood!]
A Great Emperor?!
Destined for Great Emperorhood!
Crack!
The Bone-Illuminating Mirror split down the middle, breaking into two halves in the hands of the Tianji Pavilion Master.
Yet no one present cared about the damaged immortal artifact. Every gaze was fixed on the first two lines of text, which had not yet completely faded.
Twenty years old.
A peak Golden Immortal, destined for Great Emperorhood!
How many years had it been since a new Immortal Emperor had appeared?
The person before them actually possessed potential on the level of a Great Emperor!
Even more outrageous was the fact that—
This twenty-year-old Golden Immortal could suppress more than a dozen Immortal Venerables with a single word!
The number one person throughout the ages.
The evaluation given by the Immortal Spirit Stele had clearly been far too conservative.
Lu Taixu looked at Ye Chuan with an expression that had completely changed. “Potential on the level of a Great Emperor… How many years has it been? Will our Eastern Wasteland truly produce a new Great Emperor?”
Previously, he had wanted Ye Chuan to become the Holy Son and inherit the Taiyi Immortal Sect in the future.
Now, it seemed that whether the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s little pond could contain Ye Chuan, this true dragon, was itself a question.
Gu Changge and the others similarly changed their attitudes.
Although they had offered all sorts of conditions earlier, they had still regarded Ye Chuan, at heart, as a young genius who needed to be nurtured.
Now, however, everything was different.
He already possessed power that even Immortal Venerables like them could not comprehend.
Ye Chuan made his decision. “Then I’ll choose the Taiyi Immortal Sect. After all, I participated in Taiyi’s recruitment ceremony.”
Lu Taixu froze for a moment before revealing an expression of wild joy.
Regardless of the reason, as long as Ye Chuan was willing to join, that was enough.
“Good! Very good!”
“From this day onward, Young Friend Ye Chuan shall be the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s First Holy Son, with a status equal to that of the sect’s various peak masters.”
“The sect’s cultivation techniques, treasury, immortal ores, and teleportation arrays will all be open to the Holy Son.”
Gu Changge and the others were clearly unwilling to accept this.
But Ye Chuan had already made his choice, and they could not continue forcibly competing for him. More importantly, that brief suppression just now had made one thing clear to everyone—
Whichever immortal sect Ye Chuan chose to join, it was he who was doing that sect the honor.
He did not need to rely on an immortal sect in order to grow.
The Zixiao Palace Master sighed softly.
“Since Young Friend has already made his choice, I will not force the matter.”
“However, the gates of Zixiao Immortal Palace will always be open to you. Whenever you wish to come, you may enter my bedchamber directly.”
That final sentence sounded strange no matter how one interpreted it.
Lan Xiaoke immediately glared at her and hissed, “Hiss!”
The Zixiao Palace Master merely smiled lightly at her before leaving Qingshan Town with the Nine-Headed Purple Luan and the immortal palace.
Before Gu Changge left, he handed Ye Chuan a cyan sword token.
“This is the Nine Heavens Sword Token.”
“If you develop an interest in the Sword Dao in the future, you may use this token to visit the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. The three sword mounds will always be open to you.”
The other immortal sects also left gifts behind.
The Scarlet Cloud Immortal Sect sent over ten bottles of immortal elixirs, the Heavenly Secrets Immortal Pavilion left behind a star compass, and the Eternal Life Immortal Dynasty presented portraits of its nine imperial daughters.
Looking at the ever-growing pile of gifts in his hands, Ye Chuan didn’t refuse any of them.
The more, the better.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.

He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second?

Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
