"Ignoring aptitude bottlenecks and instantly becoming an Emperor... This thing is quite interesting."
His mind instantly became active. At his level, ordinary treasures could no longer catch his eye, but this "Great Emperor Dao Fruit" was different.
It did not represent mere power, but a kind of possibility.
In an instant, several thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind.
Ten Great Emperor Dao Fruits meant that, theoretically, he could instantly add ten Great Emperors to the Azure Profound Sect?
As this thought crossed his mind, even he felt it was a bit exaggerated. If word got out, it would be enough to drive the entire heavens and myriad worlds completely mad.
He wondered, what if he bestowed them upon his disciples? Ruobai, Hanyu, Xi'er... They each had their own Dao; would this Great Emperor Dao Fruit be suitable for them? Would it help them ascend to the Emperor Realm ahead of time, or might it limit their future potential?
Even if not used immediately, possessing ten Great Emperor Dao Fruits was in itself a terrifying strategic deterrent capable of overturning any situation.
"Heh..."
Gu Changge shook his head gently and let out a chuckle. "I'm overthinking it. The path to becoming an Emperor is ultimately most stable when forged by oneself. I will... seal this item away for now and wait for the right time."
He would see who within the sect was suitable for them in the future and give it to them then.
He shifted his gaze away from the Great Emperor Dao Fruit and looked at his own attribute panel.

His gaze swept over the treasures column on the panel. Lying there quietly were dozens of stalks of Undying Divine Medicine, lakes of Life Spirit Liquid, and stackable Ten-Thousand-Year Lifespan Pills...
Upon seeing these, the slight sliver of anxiety in his heart caused by Murong Qiu's death dissipated significantly.
A reassuring curve graced the corners of Gu Changge's mouth as he muttered softly to himself:
"Fortunately, my foundation is still quite solid. For the time being... I probably won't die."
He looked again at the Great Dao Law of Time on the panel and instantly felt a strong sense of security. If all else failed, he could just rewind time.
He gently flicked his sleeves, feeling that the weather today was quite nice and his mood was rather cheerful.
The path of cultivation required a balance of tension and relaxation; he might as well treat himself.
"Let's have an extra meal."
With a thought, his gaze landed on Lao Huang, who was diligently plowing the soil in the herb garden.
Lao Huang suddenly shuddered. An ominous premonition originating from the depths of its bloodline made its cow hair stand on end. It cautiously turned its head, meeting Gu Changge's gentle yet scrutinizing gaze perfectly.
"M-Master?"
Lao Huang's voice was trembling slightly.
Gu Changge nodded with a smile, then looked toward the back mountain. His divine sense spread out like spilling quicksilver, instantly locking onto the slumbering flood dragon in the depths of the cold pool, as well as a few small animals resting in the back mountain whose strength had already reached the Saint King Realm.
"Hmm, ingredients must be diverse for balanced nutrition."
A moment later, Gu Changge's figure appeared by the cold pool in the back mountain. The pool water was deep and icy, exuding a dense, chilling aura.
As soon as Gu Changge's figure appeared by the cold pool, the pool water began to surge violently.
"Roar! Human! You're here again!"
The black flood dragon's massive body abruptly burst out of the water. Its pitch-black scales reflected a dark gleam under the sunlight, and its dragon eyes were filled with grievance and anger.
It knew the existence before it was unfathomable. It had its flesh sliced off several times before, and every time it resisted, it was beaten until its head was broken and bleeding. But the pride belonging to the dragon race still made it unwilling to submit!
"This king's meat is not chives! You can't just harvest crop after crop!"
"The dragon race will never be slaves!"
The black flood dragon roared, rousing its entire body's demonic power. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the Law of Ice condensed into countless massive ice spears. Accompanied by ear-piercing whistles, they shot toward Gu Changge, blotting out the sky!
This was its full-strength strike, imbued with its unyielding will!
"You're not a dragon right now anyway, just a little snake!"
Gu Changge watched this massive attack without a single ripple of emotion on his face. He merely raised his hand lightly, as if brushing away dust before his eyes, and casually delivered a slap across the air.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the sky full of ice spears instantly shattered into the most primitive spiritual energy particles. The black flood dragon's massive body was struck as if by an invisible star. With a wail, it crashed heavily onto the open ground by the pool, causing the earth to tremble.
It was firmly pinned down by an invisible, immense force. Its massive dragon body involuntarily curled into a ball, unable to move a muscle.
The "never be slaves" momentum from just a moment ago vanished into thin air. The black flood dragon grimaced in pain, and tears of grievance even welled up in its giant dragon eyes.
It cried out with a sobbing tone: "C-Couldn't you be a bit gentler? It hurts so much..."
Gu Changge ignored its complaints. With a practiced wave in the air, an invisible blade of qi swept past, and a piece of top-quality flood dragon tenderloin floated lightly into the jade plate he had prepared.
He casually sprinkled some Life Spirit Liquid on the wound. Life essence circulated, and it healed rapidly, but the pain of having its flesh forcibly sliced off was very real.
Gu Changge weighed the jade plate in his hand. Looking at the crystal-clear flood dragon meat inside, which contained boundless icy essence, he sighed slightly: "The meat quality is acceptable, and the essence is sufficient... What a pity, it is ultimately a flood dragon, not a true dragon. I really want to taste what dragon meat is like."
He pondered, recalling a basin of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood he had obtained from signing in a few days ago.
"This is just right."
Gu Changge muttered to himself. He then flicked his finger, and a drop of dark golden essence blood emerged, looking as though it could crush the void and make ten thousand dragons submit.
However, just as the black flood dragon sensed the ultimate temptation originating from the source of its bloodline, its dragon eyes instantly widening with endless desire, Gu Changge frowned slightly: "Hmm... The energy of a single drop of essence blood is too violent. For you, I'm afraid it would just cause you to explode, which would be a waste."
Saying so, his mind stirred, separating an almost imperceptible sliver from that drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.
He then took out a jade bottle containing less than half a bottle of Connate Spirit Marrow, wreathed in chaotic aura.
He merged that sliver of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood into the Connate Spirit Marrow. The liquid inside the jade bottle immediately turned pale gold, exuding a gentle yet still supreme dragon might.
"Take it."
Gu Changge tossed the jade bottle in front of the black flood dragon curled up on the ground. "Dilute it with this spirit marrow, it will be easier to refine. Hurry up and transform into a true dragon, I am still waiting to taste real dragon meat."
The black flood dragon stared at the jade bottle before it, which held a fatal attraction. Yet, upon hearing the second half of Gu Changge's words, the immense emotional impact caused tears of intense craving, grievance, and complicated feelings to involuntarily stream down to the corners of its mouth.
It carefully pulled the jade bottle over with its claw and downed the contents in a single gulp.
Gu Changge watched as the black flood dragon began attempting to guide that trace of diluted essence blood power. The process was as slow as a crawling turtle, causing him to grow rather impatient.
"Too slow. At this rate, when will I ever get to eat dragon meat?"
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.
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!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
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?
