"Little freak, your appetite is truly enormous. I dare to give, but do you really dare to take?"
Ling Xiao had long anticipated Chen Yi's greed.
In truth, he could have simply removed the top ten items from the Multiverse Store's sales rankings to avoid this little freak making outrageous demands and bleeding him dry. After all, treasures like the Immortal King Dao Fruit and the Chrono-Alteration Disk—ancestral-grade artifacts—were not something he had in abundance.
The reason he didn’t remove them was simple: there was no need.
If the little freak insisted on having them, he would oblige.
The fatter the little freak grew, the more he would drain Wuji’s energy. In the end, Ling Xiao would reap the rewards, achieving a flawless harvest!
Being trapped upstream in the River of Time was both a predicament and a prison. But let’s be honest—as long as he stayed there, no one could touch him. He was inherently invincible!
"What a pity that my retreat was too hasty. All the contingencies I left behind were swept away by Wuji. Otherwise, releasing Wu into the mix would have added fuel to this grand feast, making the atmosphere even more intense!"
"Ah, time waits for no one, and fate plays its tricks. Now, little freak, you’re all I have left. Don’t disappoint me!"
Ling Xiao sighed faintly, then promptly approved the purchase of the Multiverse Store’s premium items.

[Ding! This item is limited to one purchase per customer. Do not attempt to exchange it again.]
[All items are sold out. Restocking in 30 days. Please refrain from frequent refreshing!]
"Cheapskate! So stingy!"
Chen Yi gleefully emptied the Multiverse Store, not wasting a single second. He didn’t let the items linger in his personal account space—claiming them immediately, securing them in his possession!
Material goods needed no explanation. Once refined, they could be directly invested into the construction of the Violet Star Immortal Realm.
As for cultivation manuals, Chen Yi didn’t even consider using them. These things weren’t unique—they carried potent wills embedded within them, making it impossible to erase their influence. Even the slightest modification could lead to qi deviation. Practicing them recklessly might turn one into a cauldron for another’s use. So, he only exchanged them for fun.
The real treasures were the functional artifacts!
Ling Xiao was once an Immortal Emperor!
How could anything he produced be mediocre?
From pseudo-immortal-grade to Great Luo-grade artifacts, everything was available. The only downside was that Ling Xiao only gave three Dao Ancestor-grade treasures.
This proved one thing: ancestral artifacts weren’t cabbages. Each one was a supreme treasure with absurd mechanics. Even someone as obscenely wealthy as Ling Xiao, a former Immortal Emperor, didn’t have many.
Take the Chrono-Alteration Disk, for example. Its basic functions were time acceleration and stasis, allowing the user to speed up or slow down time within a target area. At its peak, it could even freeze an Immortal Emperor for an instant!
Its advanced function was "Time Swap"—exchanging one person’s timeline with another’s. For instance, if severely injured, one could transfer the history of their injuries onto someone else, forcing them to bear the consequences while the user recovered completely!
The ultimate function was "History Rewrite," allowing limited alterations to past events. However, this was extremely dangerous. If the changes were too drastic, causing causality to collapse and the River of Time to destabilize, the backlash would instantly shatter the Chrono-Alteration Disk, destroying the treasure. The only upside was that the user remained unaffected.
Then there was the Chaos Creation Brush. Its basic function was "Creation," allowing the user to materialize anything they envisioned—from divine weapons to mountains, rivers, and even sentient life. Its power and duration depended on the user’s strength and comprehension of the Dao.
The advanced function was "Law Alteration," modifying the laws of heaven and earth within a certain range. This included redefining matter, altering time flow, reversing life and death—anything was possible, as long as the user had enough power to withstand the backlash. Even an Immortal Emperor could be affected!
For example, writing "The Immortal Emperor is actually a dog!" might cause the brush to explode instantly, but at least it would leave a mark on the Immortal Emperor!
The ultimate function was "Existence Erasure." A single stroke of the brush could summon the power of chaos, releasing a beam of annihilation that turned everything in its path into blank nothingness. In theory, at its peak, even an Immortal Emperor could be erased!
Of course, theory was theory, and reality was reality. If the Chaos Creation Brush were truly that overpowered, Ling Xiao would have already used it against Wuji. Why would he give it to Chen Yi?
Still, Chen Yi quite liked it.
He was sorely lacking in artifacts with such mechanics. While brute force could work miracles, it was always better to conserve energy. Using raw power to counter mechanics required too much effort—it was no different from opening with a trump card.
What if the enemy escaped after taking the hit?
Thus, the best strategy was to use mechanics against mechanics. First, wear the opponent down until they had no strength left to flee—then finish them off with a single strike!
"Heh, I was just worrying about how to quietly purify the controlled members of the group. And now, Ling Xiao delivers three Dao Ancestor-grade treasures to help!"
"Even if Wuji is an Immortal Emperor, what does it matter? At the end of the day, he’s just a slightly stronger Dao Origin Primordial Realm cultivator, hiding behind layers of safety measures, manipulating things through will projection alone... Three Dao Ancestor-grade treasures might just be enough!"
Chen Yi’s gaze deepened as he pulled out the three Dao Ancestor-grade artifacts and began refining them, meticulously checking for hidden traps.
Compared to Wuji, who preferred cleanliness, Ling Xiao’s dirty tricks were far more terrifying!
Wuji only needed to be guarded against head-on. Ling Xiao? You had to watch your back at all times!
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Immortal Realm...
Double agent Han Qianxue wandered around like an NPC, seemingly engaged in free activity while actually unleashing chaos in the chat group.
[Transmigrators Mutual Aid Group #108]
[Group Owner "TMD The Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me" is transferring a resource package to member "The Han Clan’s Young Miss of Gaodao." Transfer progress: 69%...70%...71%...]

[The Han Clan’s Young Miss of Gaodao (Han Qianxue): The upper immortals enslave our kind, turning us into puppets! This isn’t the Immortal Realm—RUN! HAHAHAHA!!!]
[Ancestor Treading Heaven (Xu Jinghong): Qianxue, what nonsense are you spouting? The group just reopened. Don’t scare the newcomers.]
[Withered Leaf Left by the Wind (Qin Sheng): Sigh... One step slow, forever left behind. If only I hadn’t been so carefree in the past, ignorant of ambition. Now, the juniors have surpassed me. Too many regrets to voice!]
[Crow Sits on Airplane (Liu Bo): Life’s sorrows flow endlessly like the eastward river...]
[I Want a Harem! (Shen Lang): Aaaaah! I’ve been ruined by wine and lust! From today onward—NO MORE ALCOHOL!!!]

I’m just a sixth-rank official and grassroots instructor in the Mortal Deity Management Department—mostly honorary though. My main job is feeding a certain great pioneer, which is pretty boring. Feel free to drop by and hang out!】
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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.
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. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
