In the early morning, Gu Changge walked out of the bamboo cabin and softly called out in his mind, System, sign in.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Purple Bamboo Peak. You have obtained five thousand years of cultivation!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a growable small world (Initial form: a radius of one million miles)!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a vat of Great Emperor essence blood (The berserk aura has been sealed, can be refined directly)!]
Gu Changge raised his eyebrows slightly. This growable small world was quite novel. In its initial state, it already possessed a million-mile spiritual domain, with surging spiritual springs and lush spiritual plants.
Even underground, three innate spiritual veins were coiled together. In the future, if nourished with Primordial Violet Qi or the Chaos Green Lotus, it might very well evolve into a true, independent universe.
As for that vat of Great Emperor essence blood, it was condensed from the origin of a hundred Great Emperors. The scarlet liquid enclosed golden specks of light visible to the naked eye, serving as the perfect nourishment for tempering the War God Body and the Chaos Sword Body.
He gently flicked the edge of the vat with his fingertip. The crisp sound carried the tremor of the Great Emperor's origin. The essence blood of a hundred Great Emperors, this saves me a lot of trouble.
He casually stored the two treasures into his spatial ring. With a light flick of his finger, a translucent attribute panel suddenly unfolded, with streams of light surging across it like a tide.

Sweeping his gaze across the panel, Gu Changge looked up toward the direction of the Heaven's Pride Tower. The runes on the tower faintly glowed, and two figures could vaguely be seen shuttling through the ancient battlefield within.
Ever since they had the Heaven's Pride Tower, Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu gave it their all, diving into the tower to fight whenever they had free time. It was as if wasting even a single second meant losing an opportunity to grow stronger.
Gu Changge nodded to himself.
Xiao Ruobai bore the blood feud of the Great Yan Dynasty, while Fang Hanyu remembered the hatred of his parents' tragic deaths and his stolen physique. This obsession carved into their bones and blood made them understand the meaning of growing stronger better than any other disciple.
At this moment, on the fifth floor of the Heaven's Pride Tower, the pale purple lightning from the dissipating projection of the Thunder Prison Great Emperor had yet to completely fade, and fine electrical patterns still drifted in the air.
Xiao Ruobai knelt on one knee, using the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd to prop himself up on the ground. The lightning dripping from the halberd's tip struck the bluestone floor, splashing into specks of light.
The dark gold War God patterns all over his body had not faded. They spread from his neck to his wrists, like a layer of flowing armor. Even his breathing carried the resonance of vitality and blood.
The residual force from taking three strikes of the Nine Heavens Startling Thunder head-on was still darting through his meridians, but he suppressed it firmly deep within his Purple Palace, refusing to let even a fraction leak out.
Phew... Xiao Ruobai closed his eyes and sank his mind into his body.
The spiritual energy of the peak Purple Palace Realm surged like a tide, repeatedly washing through his meridians along the path of the War God Strategy. Every circulation expelled a bit of the lightning impurities.
He wanted to use the residual heat of the battle to grind the foundation of his Purple Palace even thicker.
Master had said that the foundation of the War God Body must be rooted in the absolute extreme. An extra fraction of solidity now meant an extra fraction of stability for his War God phantom when breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm, ensuring he wouldn't be weak and ungrounded when facing strong enemies in the future.
Not far away, Fang Hanyu's Absolute Beginning Sword pointed diagonally at the ground. Chaos sword energy wandered around the blade, shredding the residual lightning nearby.
He lowered his eyes, his fingertips lightly tapping the scabbard—that was the Rhythm of the Sword Heart he had comprehended from the projection of the Sword Master Great Emperor. Every tap could soothe a bit of the sword energy's restlessness.
His spiritual energy was more restrained than Xiao Ruobai's, but it hid a sharp edge. It was repeatedly compressing within his Purple Palace according to the Chaos Sword Art.
He wanted to ensure that on the day of his breakthrough, his sword could cleave through all obstacles.
The two, one kneeling and one standing, tacitly avoided each other's aura range, focusing entirely on tempering themselves.
The spiritual energy of the peak Purple Palace Realm repeatedly surged and compressed within their bodies, like forging an invisible weapon. Every tempering made the momentum of their breakthrough a bit steadier.
They were both waiting for the timing of the extreme, waiting for their Purple Palace foundation to be able to support the future Cave Heaven belonging to the War God and the sword cultivator.
That should be about enough.
Gu Changge lightly waved his fingertips. Two streams of pale cyan spiritual energy swept across the tower like silk, instantly wrapping around the two.
Xiao Ruobai had just wiped the sweat from his forehead when the scenery before him suddenly spun wildly—
One second prior, it was an ancient battlefield flashing with lightning; the next second, the ground beneath his feet had changed to the bluestone floor of Purple Bamboo Peak.
His brain didn't have time to process it. Assuming it was a new trial triggered within the tower, he subconsciously leveled the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd in front of him. Battle aura skyrocketed along the tip of the halberd as he slashed at the new opponent before him.
Here we go again, taste my halberd!
Fang Hanyu's reaction was even swifter. He was more vigilant than Xiao Ruobai. The moment he landed, he sensed that the opponent's spiritual energy was as restrained as a deep pool, actually more elusive than the young Great Emperors in the tower.
The Absolute Beginning Sword instantly left its sheath. Chaos sword energy condensed into a sharp glint, stabbing straight toward Gu Changge's heart. Take my sword!
The two attacks, a halberd and a sword, carried the full power of the peak Purple Palace Realm. Just as they were about to land on Gu Changge, Gu Changge merely flicked his fingers lightly.
Ding! Clang!
Crisp sounds rang out simultaneously—the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd was frozen in mid-air by an invisible force, its tip only half an inch away from Gu Changge's robes.
The sword energy of the Absolute Beginning Sword was gently brushed aside. The blade grazed past Gu Changge's cuffs and slashed into the empty ground next to the bamboo chair.
Only then did Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu see the face of their opponent clearly. They froze in place, and the weapons in their hands clattered to the ground.
M-Master?
The force Xiao Ruobai had just slashed out with hadn't been retracted yet. At this moment, he could only awkwardly pull back his momentum. As a result, he failed to control it well and almost tripped over himself.
W-Why are you here? I thought it was a new projection...
Fang Hanyu looked at Gu Changge's completely unscathed cuffs and hurriedly sheathed his sword.
Master, I didn't mean to! I thought it was a new trial in the tower...
Gu Changge looked at the poorly hidden hint of testing in the depths of their eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
What? After beating up young Great Emperors in the tower for a few days, you want to try and see if you can defeat your Master?
These words struck right at their thoughts. The tips of Xiao Ruobai's ears grew hot, but he couldn't help recalling the exhilaration of winning five consecutive matches in the tower.
Even the projection of the Heaven-Battling Great Emperor could be sent flying. If Master only displayed the cultivation of the Purple Palace Realm, they might not lack the power to put up a fight.
He secretly glanced at Fang Hanyu and saw an eager light flashing in his junior brother's eyes as well, which instantly gave him a bit more confidence.
Fang Hanyu gripped his sword hilt tightly, also calculating in his mind.
Although Master was strong, under the same realm, his own Chaos Sword Body was inherently adept at fighting above its level. Furthermore, he had comprehended the Sword Master Great Emperor's Using the Heart as a Sword in the tower. He wouldn't necessarily lose.
Gu Changge took in both of their thoughts.
Alright, stop hiding it. I will suppress my cultivation to the peak of the Purple Palace Realm and play with you two—just don't go hiding behind the bamboo cabin rubbing your faces when you lose, like you did last time when breaking through to the Core Condensation Realm.
Xiao Ruobai instantly recalled the time he was beaten black and blue, a numb tingling creeping up his ears. Yet, as the words reached his lips, he forced himself to sound tough.
With Junior Brother Hanyu and me joining forces, even a young Great Emperor of the same realm wouldn't stand a chance. I refuse to believe we still can't beat Master.
The advantage is ours this round.
"Master, you said it yourself! You can only use the cultivation base of the Purple Mansion Realm. Don't go crying when you lose later!!"
Fang Hanyu also straightened his back, chaotic sword qi faintly flickering at his fingertips. "Master, this disciple also wishes to seek your guidance. Within the same realm, this disciple is confident he will not lose."
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow, took two steps back, and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Alright, come at me together. Let me see if your time in the Prodigy Tower was actually worth it."
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...

ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
