Brother Yajun's philosophical musings immediately sparked lively reactions from the group members.
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Damn, we've been talking all this time, and you just entered sage mode?!】
【Unemployed God of Light: What were you doing when you weren’t replying?】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Doing it!】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Accurate, straight to the point!】
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: @Cultivation World Runner-Up, elaborate!】
【Unemployed God of Light: Is it the collapse of morality or the loss of humanity? A young man, hopelessly clinging to his childhood sweetheart who’s marrying someone else, suddenly enters sage mode? Stay tuned for the annual drama! @Cultivation World Runner-Up, spill the tea!】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Holy crap, only a cultured person could drop a bombshell like this! @Cultivation World Runner-Up, details!】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: +1】
In a pink-themed room, the broad-shouldered Brother Yajun sat disheveled against the headboard, his gaze clear and devoid of worldly desires.
After a moment of contemplation, he popped a frost betel spirit fruit into his mouth and carefully typed his reply.
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: Loved once~】
This answer clearly didn’t satisfy anyone.
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Warning: account suspension incoming!】
【Unemployed God of Light: Not talking? Watch your account disappear!】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Didn’t you say you were gonna do something big? Is this it?】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: So, did you succeed or not?】
"Sigh, I knew you guys wouldn’t let this go. That liquor is no good—too impulsive, and now I’m stuck in a mess..."
In his themed room, Brother Yajun sighed deeply. After struggling for a moment, he decided to come clean.
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: Everyone, do you think looks really matter?】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Of course they do! Take me, for example—when I slay demons and rescue beauties in distress, they all want to marry me. But for my junior brother? ‘I’ll repay you in my next life as your ox or horse’...】
【Unemployed God of Light: Brutally realistic.】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: I disagree. Persistence and effort matter more. Beauty alone is a dead card—without strength to back it up, you’re just a pretty vase that shatters at the slightest touch!】
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Wait, Runner-Up, aren’t you already at the Foundation Establishment stage? After marrow cleansing, you can’t possibly be ugly, right?】
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: Wuwuwu... Group Leader, you don’t understand. I used to be really handsome, but after starting cultivation, I got fat. I have an Innate Spirit Body—if I don’t cultivate, I’m fine, but once I do, my body can’t handle the excess spiritual energy. I’m bloated beyond recognition...】
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: My master says it’ll stabilize after I reach Nascent Soul, but that’ll take too long. My childhood sweetheart didn’t want to wait. She said she only loved me because I was handsome, and now that I’m not, she left me for some pretty boy. She’s so cold, so heartless—every word she said cut into my fragile heart like a blade...】
【Unemployed God of Light: So, you didn’t win her back? Then who put you in sage mode?】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Oh? Could it be...】
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: Yep. Nothing to do today, so I went to the pleasure house!】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Hah, couldn’t get her, so you paid for one instead? Runner-Up, you’re something else!】
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Disgraceful! Absolutely shameless!】
【Group Leader shared the file 《Great Derivation Devouring Heaven Technique》】
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: This technique massively consumes spiritual energy to boost cultivation progress. Perfect for Innate Spirit Bodies with excess energy. Others can practice it too—daily check-in points are enough to sustain the cost.】
Scolding aside, as the group leader, Chen Yi still felt responsible for helping his members.
After all... every member was a valuable asset. Weak ones could trigger missions for points, and strong ones could take on missions themselves—their worth was immeasurable.
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: Thank you, Group Leader, for this gift! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I won’t go west. If you say chase chickens, I won’t trample dogs!!!】
【Unemployed God of Light: Group Leader is a legend! Do you know how much this technique costs in the Multiverse Store?】
【Unemployed God of Light: I checked—the 《Soul Control Technique》 you shared earlier is priced at 500 million points. This 《Great Derivation Devouring Heaven Technique》 is even crazier—800 million points!】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: So if I learn both, it’s like getting 1.3 billion points for free? Holy crap, I’m invincible!!!】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: In this moment, I must say—‘The Group Leader’s vision is truly grand.’ You all know I was once in Group 36. Their stingy leader bought a technique from the Multiverse Store, shared it in the group, and then made us pay to download it. Disgusting behavior... Thank heavens he kicked me out, so the glorious Group 108 could take me in!】
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: You can charge for downloads?】
【Unemployed God of Light: Huh? Group Leader, you...】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: Noooo... (Puppy eyes.jpg)】
【TMD Heavenly Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Just kidding. Don’t panic. The best repayment is for you all to grow stronger and take on missions yourselves.】
【Cultivation World Runner-Up: I’m all in! No women in my heart, my blade strikes like a god. Give me three days—I’ll reach Core Formation!】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: The Group Leader has spoken—how can we not go all out? I’ll keep refining Heavenly Thunder Essence!】
【Unemployed God of Light: We’re grinding now? I was planning to pick up girls... Fine, I’ll grind too. If I don’t boost my combat power by 1,000 in three days, I’ll swear off women for a day!】
【Two-Sleeved Breeze is a Sword Immortal: I... damn it, you ruined the mood! Get out!】
"Hahaha..."
Chen Yi chuckled. These amusing members truly brought him joy.
After chatting a while longer, he finally closed the group with satisfaction.
The situation with Fang Zheng was still brewing. The Heavenly Dao and those forbidden-zone overlords wouldn’t come knocking so soon—they’d likely probe for a while.
But Chen Yi wasn’t in a hurry. After all, good things take time—the longer the buildup, the bigger the storm!
And the bigger the storm, the greater the rewards. One big haul might even gather enough resources for all forty-nine one-star clones to evolve into immortal bodies!
For now, though, it was time to digest the loot plundered from the Western Sea Realm.
The first three one-star clones nurturing immortal bodies had already begun undergoing strange transformations. It was time for the main body to meditate and comprehend these changes deeply.
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
