Su Ji decisively chose to scram.
He wasn’t a fool. With such an obvious hint given, staying any longer to argue would be nothing short of courting death.
He threw on his Daoist robes at lightning speed and fled Su Jiu’s courtyard like his life depended on it.
The moment the gate shut behind him, he let out a long exhale.
The feeling of being alive—truly wonderful.
Su Ji steadied his breathing but didn’t immediately return to his quarters. Instead, he turned and headed in the direction where Elder Liu had earlier sent Wang San flying with a single palm strike.
Beyond the courtyard walls, there was nothing.
No corpse of Wang San—just a small pool of blood.
Su Ji’s brow furrowed.
How could a Qi Refinement disciple survive a full-powered strike from a Foundation Establishment expert at the Great Perfection stage?
And still have the strength to vanish without a trace?
Where there’s an anomaly, there’s a demon at play.
Su Ji had no idea what trump cards Wang San might have held.
Nor did he understand why the man had been so intent on killing him.
But the grudge was already set in stone.
That bastard Wang San had just earned a spot on Su Ji’s "must-kill list."
Not a trace of amusement remained on Su Ji’s face as he stepped over the spot where Wang San should have been lying dead—
Like trampling over the grave of a man already doomed.
...
The instant Su Ji turned to leave, the conflicted expression on Su Jiu’s face was swiftly replaced by a flush of feverish urgency.
Her earlier insistence that Su Ji leave hadn’t just been due to shame and fury—her body was on the brink of a crisis!
That rampaging energy inside her was far too violent, surging wildly through her meridians. This was no ordinary medicinal bath effect.
She even felt that if she didn’t guide this power immediately, her body might explode from the strain!
Without wasting a second, Su Jiu sat back down in the bath, cross-legged.
Closing her eyes, she forcibly suppressed the storm of emotions in her heart and began circulating the [Nine Luminaries Moon-Devouring Scripture].
The moment the technique activated, an anomaly erupted!
Those once-inscrutable passages that had demanded immense effort to decipher now unfolded with crystal clarity.
Characters seemed to come alive in her mind, autonomously unraveling the deepest mysteries of the scripture and laying them bare before her.
Epiphany!
This was the legendary, near-mythical state of cultivation enlightenment!
Su Jiu’s heart quaked. She swiftly steadied her mind, immersing herself completely in this profound sensation.
The chaotic energy within her finally found an outlet under the scripture’s guidance.
It transformed into a raging torrent, scouring her meridians and purifying her demon core.
The bottleneck at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, once unshakable, now crumbled like paper before this deluge.
Boom!
A dull thud resonated from within her.
Foundation Establishment, sixth layer—
Achieved!
Tumultuous demonic power surged through her, yet that peculiar energy from Su Ji showed no signs of waning.
If anything, as the scripture cycled, it seemed catalyzed—growing purer, denser, more overwhelming!
Su Jiu didn’t even have time to stabilize her new breakthrough before the energy propelled her cultivation toward the next horizon.
Foundation Establishment, seventh layer—
Shattered!
A faint tremor ran through Su Jiu’s delicate frame, a trickle of blood escaping her lips.
The strain of consecutive breakthroughs weighed on her, but the blazing triumph in her eyes only intensified.
Not enough.
She could feel it—the energy wasn’t spent yet!
Gritting her teeth, Su Jiu pushed the [Nine Luminaries Moon-Devouring Scripture] to its limits. Behind her, the phantom outlines of nine fox tails flickered, intertwining with that strange energy inside her.
Another muffled explosion!
Foundation Establishment, eighth layer!
Only now did that maddening, exhilarating energy finally exhaust itself, merging into her very bones and flesh as part of her cultivation.
Su Jiu slowly opened her eyes, momentarily dazed by the demonic power now several times mightier than before.
She raised a hand, staring at her pale palm, and finally released a long, shaky breath.
In less than an hour—
She’d broken through three layers!
Leaping from the fifth to the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment!
And her foundation was rock-solid—no instability from rapid advancement!
This… this was beyond fantasy!
Even with her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline, achieving these breakthroughs through normal cultivation would’ve taken at least two and a half months.
Now, that grueling process had been compressed into a single hour.
The time saved meant she could finally pursue ventures she’d once deemed too perilous.
This time…
She might truly succeed…
Su Jiu’s mind flashed to Su Ji’s face—
Then she forcefully shoved the thought aside.
No time for distractions.
At the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, even if she encountered a Golden Core old monster, she could hold her own.
Should she go for that opportunity…?
Soon, a cave abode left behind by a Nascent Soul grandmaster would emerge.
In the lands of Great Xia, Nascent Soul cultivators were practically myths—Golden Core experts were the pinnacle of power here.
The appearance of a Nascent Soul’s legacy would drive every Golden Core cultivator in Great Xia’s cultivation world into a frenzy.
Her original plan had been to steer clear.
Her strength was nowhere near enough to challenge Golden Core elites.
But now…
With eighth-layer Foundation Establishment power and her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline abilities…
With careful planning…
She might just snatch a share from under those old monsters’ noses!
A glint ignited in Su Jiu’s eyes.
But this venture was far too dangerous.
Knowing Su Ji’s personality, he’d undoubtedly latch onto her like a leech again.
Best he remain unaware.
Pulling out brush and ink, she began writing:
"Senior Brother Su Ji,
If you’re reading this, consider it my farewell.
The… incident between us still leaves me unsettled. I’ve decided to travel and clear my mind.
[Fox-girl ramblings…]
[Fox-girl ramblings…]
[Fox-girl ramblings…]
Don’t come looking for me in the days ahead.
If fate wills it, we’ll meet again.
If not, the path of immortality is long—farewell without reunion."
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.
【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.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
