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?!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
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.
