Grand Elder Perfected Liuguang bowed to receive the order: I obey the Holy Lord's decree!
He flipped his hand to produce a Void Dark Talisman, activated it with holy blood, and branded the clear mission objectives and requirements into it.
Following that, he formed a hand seal. The dark talisman flashed with a faint light, silently merging into the void and transmitting along hidden nodes.
The crowd in the hall remained silent, all knowing in their hearts that this was a high-stakes gamble with a massive price.
In the Eastern Region, beneath a hidden, gloomy abyss, a black hall stood in complete silence, as if it had been so since ancient times. This place was exactly the branch headquarters of the Netherworld Palace set up in the Eastern Region.
On the main seat in the hall, a figure whose face was shrouded in twisted shadows was resting with his eyes closed.
This person's codename was Phantom Shadow. He was the Hall Master established by the Netherworld Palace in the Eastern Region, possessing a cultivation at the early stage of the Saint King Realm.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void before him. A jade slip lingering with a glazed luster and the unique aura of a Holy Land, along with a Netherworld Token representing the highest priority and a lucrative reward, slowly emerged.
Phantom Shadow opened his eyes, Netherworld fire seemingly dancing in his pupils. His divine sense swept over the jade slip, instantly understanding its contents.
It was a mission from the Glazed Holy Land. The primary objective: assassinate Fatty Wang, who possessed the Seven Stars Secret Token. The secondary objective: capture alive or severely injure Battle Asura and Sword in White, and search their souls to obtain their inheritances and intelligence on their backgrounds.
Heh...
Hall Master Phantom Shadow let out an ambiguous low chuckle. His fingertips gently tapped the armrest made of unknown bones, emitting crisp echoes in the silent hall.
The Glazed Holy Land... has finally come to us. All for that Seven Stars Secret Token and the Undying Divine Medicine that have been causing such an uproar in the Eastern Region lately?
He naturally knew of this matter. Master Yuji's dying roar, the horrifying battle records of Battle Asura and Sword in White slaying Kings while only in the Heaven and Earth Realm, and the legend of that mysterious palm print abyss had long reached his ears through various channels.
The waters here were very deep.
A little fatty, and two prodigies with mysterious backgrounds and heaven-defying combat power...
Phantom Shadow muttered to himself, The Glazed Holy Land doesn't dare to openly send Saints to do the deed, afraid of kicking a steel plate, yet they want my Netherworld Palace to wade into these muddy waters. Quite a good calculation.
He pondered for a moment. The risks were obvious; the existence behind those two prodigies was a reclusive almighty expert with supreme strength, connected to the giant palm that flattened the Demon Heaven Sect.
But... the rules of the Netherworld Palace never feared risks, only that the price wasn't high enough.
The Seven Stars Secret Token... this thing itself is also quite interesting.
A dark light flickered in his eyes, clearly harboring some thoughts about the secret token and the clues to the Undying Divine Medicine it represented.
If they could come into contact with the secret token through this mission, perhaps it would also be an unexpected pleasant surprise for the Netherworld Palace.
Just then, his mind stirred slightly, recalling the order sent by the Chief Hall Master not long ago: there might be unusual movements in the Profound State of the Eastern Region, requiring extra attention, and any situation must be reported immediately.
The Profound State... the former site of the Demon Heaven Sect, isn't that right on the edge of the Profound State?
Hall Master Phantom Shadow's tapping on the armrest paused slightly. This matter involves an unknown powerhouse who could flatten the Demon Heaven Sect with a single palm, and it happened near the Profound State?
I should report this matter to the Chief Hall Master for him to decide.
He no longer hesitated. With a thought, a dark stream of light containing all the details of the mission silently merged into the void, crossing endless space in the unique way of the Netherworld Palace, heading straight for the Chief Hall in the Central Region.
In the Central Region, within the deepest secret chamber of the Netherworld Palace's Chief Hall.
The Lingxiao Holy Lord, who was also the Chief Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace, Ling Canglan, was sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, although Netherworld aura still lingered around him, the depths of his eyes were perfectly clear—a clarity born of absolute loyalty to the Azure Profound Sect and Gu Changge.
Suddenly, a dark light flashed before him, and the urgent intelligence from the Eastern Region branch hall emerged.
Ling Canglan's divine sense swept over it, taking in all the contents. The Glazed Holy Land had issued a mission to assassinate Fatty Wang, who possessed the Seven Stars Secret Token, and attempt to capture alive or severely injure his companions, Battle Asura and Sword in White.
Seven Stars Secret Token... clues to the Undying Divine Medicine... Battle Asura... Sword in White...
Ling Canglan softly repeated these keywords, his brows furrowing slightly.
The intelligence detailed the terrifying battle records of Battle Asura and Sword in White slaying Kings from the Heaven and Earth Realm, as well as the suspected terrifying powerhouse behind them—
That mysterious existence who flattened the Demon Heaven Sect with a single palm, leaving behind a giant palm abyss containing endless Dao rhythm.
Flattening the Demon Heaven Sect with a single palm... leaving behind a Dao rhythm abyss...
Ling Canglan muttered to himself, his pupils suddenly contracting as an unbelievable yet incredibly logical thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
The Profound State! Destroying a sect with one palm! Dao rhythm left behind!
This... this earth-shattering method... this unimaginable mighty power... this...
His heart pounded wildly, and his breathing almost stopped for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the unfathomable, abyss-like aura of his Lord, Gu Changge, and the terrifying strength with which his Lord easily controlled him, a Holy Lord and Chief Hall Master!
Could it be... could it be that the mysterious powerhouse behind Battle Asura and Sword in White is... is the Lord himself?!!
Once this thought arose, it could no longer be contained. Other than the Lord, he truly couldn't imagine who else in the Eastern Region's Profound State could possess such world-changing, near-godlike methods!
But he dared not be completely certain. What if it was another reclusive almighty expert? What if his guess was wrong, and acting rashly might instead interfere with the Lord's plans?
This matter concerns the Lord, there absolutely cannot be any mistakes! I must request instructions immediately!
Ling Canglan didn't hesitate at all. He immediately suppressed all thoughts of handling it himself and sent the most urgent transmission to the Azure Profound Sect's Sect Master, Xuanyangzi.
Xuanyangzi, who was still recuperating on Purple Bamboo Peak, suddenly froze. An extremely hidden fluctuation carrying a Netherworld aura entered his sea of consciousness. It was exactly Ling Canglan's urgent transmission.
After quickly browsing through the contents of the transmission, Xuanyangzi's face darkened, and monstrous fury instantly surged in his eyes: The Glazed Holy Land! What an orthodox righteous sect! To act so despicably! Unable to win openly, they actually secretly collude with a notorious assassin organization like the Netherworld Palace!
Attempting to carry out such malicious deeds as assassination and soul searching! They are unworthy of being a supreme Holy Land, it's simply the height of shamelessness!
But in the next second, he suddenly froze. The angry expression on his face stiffened, replaced by an extremely bizarre, almost absurd look.
Wait, wait... the Netherworld Palace? He blinked, almost thinking he had grown confused from anger.
He subconsciously double-checked the source of the transmission. The person sending the message was indeed Ling Canglan!
Isn't that kid Ling Canglan the Chief Hall Master of the Netherworld Palace right now? The Glazed Holy Land is...?
Then, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled upwards, and finally, he let out a low laugh full of mockery and schadenfreude.
Pfft... hahaha!
Xuanyangzi couldn't help but shake his head, laughing and cursing in a low voice at the air: Those idiots from the Glazed Holy Land! They really ignored the path to heaven and barged right through the gateless hell! Looking for an assassin organization?
They really know how to pick them! They actually went and hired our own people!
The more he thought about it, the more hilarious it seemed. The Glazed Holy Land thought their ultimate killing blow was so secretive and ruthless, but they were practically sticking their own necks right under a freshly sharpened executioner's blade.
"Trying to soul-search Ruobai and Hanyu? Trying to kill the little fatty? Keep dreaming! Just watch how I screw you all over!"
There will be another chapter at around 8 o'clock!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma!

Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
