Li Cheng was going through the darkest moment of his life. Chained here, he was used as an experimental subject by disciples of the Heaven Smashing Sect every day.
What demon-breaking methods, newly refined pills... As a demonic cultivator, Li Cheng found it hard to bear. What he couldn't stand the most was that the man would occasionally come to remind him of the scene where Miao Yunxi cut all ties with him.
Li Cheng's heart grew even darker, his resentment accumulating endlessly. He wanted to find that woman and ask her clearly why she treated him like that on that day!
Jingyun Peak had completely settled down. Perfected Jingyun might have wanted to win back his face, but right now he only felt utterly disgraced and was still hiding away. Fang Zhiyi was also busy cultivating his own subordinates. The cultivation methods he provided allowed the Law Enforcement Hall disciples to break through rapidly. For a time, the disciples within the Law Enforcement Hall were all overjoyed. What did one want in cultivating immortality? Cultivation base, of course!
Fang Zhiyi's busyness left Lan Chengyue a bit confused. For a moment, she couldn't tell if Fang Zhiyi was captivated by her or not. However, thinking that the Heavenly Dao contract had already been signed, she felt much more at ease. Now, she just needed to wait for the right opportunity. What if Fang Zhiyi could take it up another notch?
Thinking of the cultivation base she was about to obtain, Lan Chengyue was thrilled.
During this period, the various factions within the sect began to stir restlessly.
The reason was simple. Previously, they were willing to flatter Fang Zhiyi only because they needed him to counter the domineering Jingyun Peak. Even if Fang Zhiyi lost, they wouldn't suffer any losses. But now that Jingyun Peak had been defeated, they started calculating for their own petty interests again.
Especially since the Law Enforcement Hall had been acting ostentatiously lately. Not only did they not distribute the spirit stones collected from Jingyun Peak to the other peaks, but they were also recruiting disciples everywhere and setting up numerous rules. These rules even restricted the behavior of the elders. Previously, they endured it because he was useful, but now, naturally, some could no longer tolerate it.
The structure of the Heaven Smashing Sect was inherently strange. Some elders holding important positions lacked both strength and character, but because they were the sect master's martial brothers, they could sit in those seats. Their habit was to rope in trusted aides and engage in open and secret struggles.
Some people began to target Fang Zhiyi, believing that a mere disciple was unfit to act as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, the Sect Master's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. Although he was the Sect Master, he was also Fang Zhiyi's master. He was naturally happy that his disciple was promising, so he pacified some of those who came to complain.
But on second thought, he still needed to give Fang Zhiyi a warning to let him know his place.
Thus, Fang Zhiyi's eldest martial brother, Yuan Qing, came trotting over to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Eldest martial brother Yuan Qing was like an invisible person in the original plot. Only after Fang Zhiyi asked Little Hei did he learn that Yuan Qing was also used as a stepping stone by a transmigrator.
"Elder Feng is currently talking to Master about removing you from your position in the Law Enforcement Hall." Seeing Fang Zhiyi's indifferent look, Yuan Qing sighed. "Junior brother, these elders are just using their seniority to pressure people. Don't take it to heart. Master said that he has your back, but you also need to have a limit in how you handle things, otherwise, it will be hard for Master to explain."
Yuan Qing's personality determined his future. He was the typical nice guy. Even knowing that Fang Zhiyi's cultivation was higher than his, he didn't show the slightest bit of jealousy, merely staying peacefully in his role as the eldest martial brother.
Fang Zhiyi sent off this eldest martial brother with a face full of smiles. Turning around, he immediately arranged for people to step up their efforts to recruit the core disciples of other peaks. Cultivating immortality? Cultivate my ass!
The number of disciples in the Law Enforcement Hall hit a new high at one point. Even many outer sect disciples with low cultivation joined the Law Enforcement Hall. But problems also began to emerge. Some personal disciples were used to preferential treatment and naturally looked down on those ordinary inner sect disciples, let alone the outer sect disciples.
However, now their preferential treatment could not be manifested at all. Today, Zhang San relied on his status as a personal disciple to beat up an outer sect disciple who refused to let him cut in line. The outer sect disciple immediately went to call for backup. Soon, a mighty group of dozens of people arrived, ranging from the Spirit Silence stage to the Nascent Soul stage. The originally arrogant Zhang San also trembled a bit. He tried to reason, but the other side had no intention of reasoning. They stepped forward and attacked. Moreover, they seemed to have received Fang Zhiyi's true teachings; instead of using powerful secret arts, every one of them picked up a weapon and charged forward. If his cultivation hadn't been high, Zhang San would have almost been beaten to death right there.
After returning, Zhang San immediately cried and complained to his master. His master, Elder Feng, was so angry that his eyebrows stood on end. Muttering about how outrageous it was, he hurried to the Law Enforcement Hall to demand an explanation. But he forgot that Fang Zhiyi had even beaten the Perfected Jingyun whom they feared, let alone him.
After taking a beating, Elder Feng went crying to the Sect Master to complain.
The Sect Master was also very distressed. He had heard about the recent events in the sect. Previously, he had thought very highly of this disciple. When Fang Zhiyi asked for the Law Enforcement Hall position, the Sect Master had his own plans. He wanted Fang Zhiyi to restrain Jingyun Peak, which was why he agreed to let Fang Zhiyi temporarily lead the Law Enforcement Hall. But now, Fang Zhiyi was clearly out of control, and his growth speed even made him a bit fearful. Now, wariness had overshadowed appreciation.
When the second and third victims appeared, he could no longer sit still.
"What? The Law Enforcement Hall has blocked the entrance to the Pill Peak, and exchanging for pills from the Pill Peak requires a warrant from the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"The price of spirit beasts at the Spirit Beast Peak has gone up? Because of the Law Enforcement Hall again?"
"Sect Master, you must stand up for my disciples! They just had a brief argument with the disciples of the Artifact Forging Peak, and they were beaten into this miserable state by the Law Enforcement Hall people..." Another elder led a few people in. When he saw the others in the room, this elder was also stunned.
Except for the peak masters of the Pill Peak, Spirit Beast Peak, and Artifact Forging Peak, almost all the other elders had gathered here.
The Sect Master took a deep breath. "I am his master. I will go find him personally and definitely give all the elders an explanation!"
Meanwhile, in the Law Enforcement Hall, "What did the Sect Master, no, Master say?"
Yuan Qing: "Master... as you know, Master is the Sect Master, so he still has to consider the elders' opinions. The old man is also worried that if you break the rules, no disciples will be willing to listen to them in the future, which is detrimental to the sect's development. But Master is still on your side."
Fang Zhiyi laughed. "Understood, it's just like a mafia gang."
"Junior brother, don't take what I'm about to say to heart. This position in the Law Enforcement Hall should originally be held by an elder. You are only an acting hall master now. It would be better to directly go to Master and resign... for your own sake." He finally spoke these words and simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief.
Fang Zhiyi looked at this nice guy. He knew that Yuan Qing had heard something, which was why he specifically came to offer some advice. "Previously, they needed me to be the bird that sticks its head out, so they flattered me no matter what I did. But now? Now that the threat has been eliminated, they start to think that the rules I established are affecting their interests, and they want to kick me down. Senior brother, is this appropriate?"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
