Xiao Chunan's past was something Chen Yi had already heard about from Mu Chen, and it bore some resemblance to the experiences of a certain Xiao Huohuo.
However, the fact that his clan possessed a rare treasure capable of unlocking the Spirit Emperor's secret vault was the first time he had revealed it—likely something even Mu Chen, the former group owner, hadn't known.
But that was understandable. After all, Mu Chen was a bit of a loser, barely reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage with a combat power of 9.5 million. He simply wasn’t capable of handling Xiao Chunan’s grand project.
According to Mu Chen, Xiao Chunan’s world was no small fry—it had once produced powerhouses with combat power in the hundreds of millions, the so-called Spirit Emperors. Even in the present era, there were Spirit Sages with power in the tens of millions keeping things in check. For someone like Mu Chen, with a measly 9.5 million combat power, going there to mess around would be nothing short of suicide.
Of course, what was nearly impossible for Mu Chen was child’s play for Chen Yi.
After all, the powerhouses in Xiao Chunan’s world fought tooth and nail, risking their lives just to seize the legacy of a Spirit Emperor with a hundred million combat power. Meanwhile, a single immortal clone of Chen Yi could casually wield 1.8 billion combat power.
That was why Xiao Chunan dared to reveal the secret of the Spirit Emperor’s treasure without hesitation. If it had been Mu Chen, that lackluster former group owner, he would’ve kept his mouth shut.
Because if the risks posed by a group member exceeded the group’s capacity to handle them, the optimal solution was simply to kick that member out.
Fang Zheng was a prime example—who besides Chen Yi would dare to bail him out?
By the same logic, Xiao Chunan dared to speak up precisely because he believed in his current group owner’s ability to protect him!
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: Not bad, Chunan. You pass. As for the Spirit Emperor’s treasure, wait for further instructions. Don’t go rogue like certain people. Next!]
[Abandoned Palace Resident (Liu Ruyan): Group Owner~ Who’s this "certain people" you’re talking about? It’s not me, is it?]
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: You know exactly who I mean! Hurry up and report. If your progress under such immense fortune isn’t satisfactory, the punishment will be severe!]
[Abandoned Palace Resident: whimpers So how exactly are you going to punish me? Will you use a little whip? My bed is ready for you~ (blushing.ipg)]
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: ?]
[Abandoned Palace Resident: Group Owner~ Do you like roleplay? I can dress up as an empress—dragon knights are so dashing!]
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: If you’re sick, go see a doctor. Stop acting shameless here. One more inappropriate word, and it’s a three-day mute!]
[Abandoned Palace Resident: Reporting in, Group Owner. You already know my situation, so I won’t waste words. This empress is just a soulless stamping machine!
As for my combat power growth over the past half-month—15 days ago, it was 5,000. Now it’s 550,000. With the nation’s fortune boosting my cultivation, I’ve reached the fifth layer of the Great Devouring Heaven Art and the ninth layer of the Mind Control Art. So? Do I get an "Excellent" rating?]
Hiss—
Honestly, that speed was terrifying!
Numbers alone might not paint the full picture, but comparing cultivation realms made it clear.
This was equivalent to jumping from the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul in just 15 days!
Meanwhile, Fang Zheng’s combat power increase, though seemingly large, only amounted to advancing from the early-stage Nascent Soul to mid-stage.
Even Chen Yi hadn’t expected this woman to be so ridiculously overpowered!
He’d thought breaking through one major realm would be impressive—but she’d shattered two!
Truly worthy of the title "Ruyan the Great"—absolutely monstrous!
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: Fine, you get "Excellent." Keep it up. Next!]
[Abandoned Palace Resident: Just praise? I want a reward!]
[Group Owner has muted group member ‘Abandoned Palace Resident’ for 2.5 hours.]
"Tch. The damn Group Owner is as stingy as ever."
Liu Ruyan, the Stormwind Empress, pouted in disdain.
Not like she wasn’t used to being muted—it didn’t stop her from lurking.
[Two-Sleeved Sword Immortal (Zhou Zheng): Reporting, Group Owner. My situation’s a bit... complicated. To put it bluntly, I’m a warehouse manager in my sect’s Supply Hall. Before joining this group, I was the puppet of a certain high-ranking elder. Back then, with his backing, no one dared to audit me. But now that the big boss above me has fallen, the sect leader is furious and ordering a full investigation—and all the corrupt officials below are trying to pin everything on me!
The audacity! Back then, I was only at Foundation Establishment, yet they’re claiming I embezzled 200 Nascent Soul Pills, 1,000 Core Formation Herbs, 30,000 Foundation Establishment Pills, and piles of magical artifacts and treasures. Like, seriously,
Right now, the Enforcement Hall—who aren’t exactly clean themselves—are "investigating." I’ve already been detained, and they’re just waiting to fabricate enough evidence to silence me permanently. If you’re up for a rescue mission, I can expose everything. Those bastards will definitely try to kill me to keep me quiet!
Lastly, my combat power growth over the past half-month: 18,000 fifteen days ago, now only 35,000. My progress in the two arts you shared is only at the second layer, since I’ve been too busy with this mess to cultivate properly. My apologies, Group Owner.]
Chen Yi: "......"
Dude, you’re full of contradictions.
You call yourself "Two-Sleeved Sword Immortal," yet you were involved in corruption. Now you’re taking the fall for the smallest cut while others walk free...
Aren’t you just the cleanest of the corrupt?
Hiss— Damn, that’s rough.
If not for me, how would you even survive?
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: You fail this evaluation. But given the circumstances, punishment is postponed. Permission granted—go make a scene!]
[Two-Sleeved Sword Immortal: Thank you, Group Owner! Time to wreck those sons of !]
After sending that message, Zhou Zheng’s status went offline.
Waiting for the situation to unfold would take time, so Chen Yi moved on to the remaining three members.
[Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me: Next! Who’s up?]
[I Hate Cilantro: No one? Then I’ll go.]
[I Hate Cilantro: Reporting, Group Owner. I’m Li Yuanyuan, a Saintess of the Harmonious Joy Sect. I walk the line between righteous and demonic paths, mingling with both sides. My situation’s stable. If you’re looking for a rescue mission... I could seduce the only son of the righteous faction’s leader, or maybe castrate the demonic faction’s beloved grandson. Either way, it’d be a high-quality mission requiring at least 10 million combat power!
As for my combat power growth: 500,000 fifteen days ago, now 650,000—averaging 10,000 per day. And I’ve reached the sixth layer in both arts you shared!
Gotta say, the Great Devouring Heaven Art is perfect—every dual cultivation session leaves my partner completely drained. It synergizes so well with the Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony. Plus, the Mind Control Art enhances my soul power, making my charm techniques flawless. I can hypnotize them into believing they underperformed, not that I sucked them dry!]
Chen Yi: ???
Wait, hold on—you can use them like that?!
These are supposed to be righteous, orthodox techniques! How did you twist them into some demonic cultivation method?!
How is this even fair?!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
【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.)
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
