"This old guy is really hard to kill..."
I finally managed to get him into the Myriad Soul Banner, but there is no way to refine him.
The strength of the Shen Family Ancestor is just too overpowered.
With only Heaven-tier quality, the Myriad Soul Banner can't do anything to him. I can only take advantage of his current weakness to trap him inside the banner.
But the Shen Family Ancestor won't stay weak forever; he will slowly recover.
If this continues, I might still fall into his hands in this simulation.
"To turn the tables on such a huge scale, I'm afraid the opportunity still lies with the traits!"
[After the battle, the Qiankun Mirror and the Jiuzhou Cauldron chatted casually on the side.]
[The two immortal artifacts were discussing nine ways to eat peaches.]
[You walked over out of curiosity.]
["Qiankun Mirror, don't you remember me?"]
[The mirror surface of the Qiankun Mirror turned toward you.]
["Nice to meet you for the first time, please take care of me."]
[This memory loss happened way too fast.]
[At least that saved a hundred peaches.]
["What's wrong with these Great Dao Immortal Artifacts? Either their artifact spirits are damaged or their main bodies are damaged. Aren't they the most powerful objects in this world? Who hurt them like this?"]
[You then turned your head to look at the Myriad Soul Banner.]
["Old guy, do you know?"]
[You were asking the Shen Family Ancestor.]
[The Shen Family Ancestor ignored you.]
[You activated your mocking mode.]
["Oh my, oh my, and you still call yourself the Dao Protector of the Human Realm, claiming the Human Realm can't survive without you. I thought you were number one in the world, but with the Qiankun Mirror shattered like this in your hands, it seems you're not that capable either..."]
["The opponent took advantage of the ten years after my last possession, when I couldn't control my body properly, and sneak attacked the Star Power Profound Realm!
Seeing that they couldn't snatch the Qiankun Mirror from my hands, they chose to destroy it!
Even with the Heaven and Earth Sword in their hands, I still managed to protect the Qiankun Mirror. What more do you want?!"]
["Heaven and Earth Sword?"]
[The Qiankun Mirror explained to you.]
["The Heaven and Earth Sword is also a Great Dao Immortal Artifact, possessing the most ferocious killing power among us!
That guy cleaved me in half with a single strike, and the other half shattered into tiny fragments on the spot!
They can't even be pieced back together. It's super strong!"]
[Obviously, it was after being heavily injured that time that the Qiankun Mirror became somewhat abnormal and crazy.]
["Shouldn't you Great Dao Immortal Artifacts be friends? You don't even acknowledge masters, so why would the Heaven and Earth Sword strike so ruthlessly?"]
["I don't know. The Heaven and Earth Sword might be sick too. Eh? Why did I say 'too'?"]
["How many Great Dao Immortal Artifacts are there in total?"]
["Five, each corresponding to one of the Five Elements.
Metal, the Heaven and Earth Sword!
Wood, the Jiuzhou Cauldron!
Water, the Qiankun Mirror!
Fire, the Sun and Moon Tower!
Earth, the Mountains and Rivers Armor!"]
[The Myriad Soul Banner hopped over.]
["Darkness, the Myriad Soul Banner!"]
[You kicked it aside with one foot.]
["Don't try to steal the spotlight! Hurry up and think if there's a way to completely subdue this old man!"]
[The Myriad Soul Banner was out of ideas.]
[But you didn't choose to just sit and wait for death either.]
[You began to explore this small world.]
[This place is quite similar to the small world inside the Jiuzhou Cauldron, though a bit larger.]
[However, as long as you keep walking in one direction, you'll reach the end in just a few days.]
[The end is a vast expanse of white that cannot be entered.]
["The essence of heaven and earth in here is exceptionally rich, seemingly even richer than a Heaven-tier spirit vein..."]
[You switched your external martial arts, internal energy, and mental cultivation methods back to the Limitless Sword Sect three-piece set.]
[Cultivating inside this Star Power Profound Realm, you found your natural cultivation speed reaching the fastest level in history.]
["But even with this kind of improvement speed, there's no way I can beat a Martial King Realm expert ten years from now..."]
[Not only is there a ticking time bomb inside the Myriad Soul Banner.]
[In ten years, when the gates of the Star Power Profound Realm open, there will be a bunch of powder kegs waiting for you to ignite outside.]
[You crippled the Shen Family Ancestor, and the Shen family will definitely not let you off.]
[You began to carefully explore this small world, attempting to find something useful.]
[First, you found a subterranean vault.]
[Inside were various types of metals, stones, wood, silk, as well as dried spiritual plants and herbs.]
["This is a materials vault, and none of these look like ordinary materials."]
[Regardless, you took everything without hesitation, stowing it all into your spatial ring.]
[About three miles away from the willow tree where the Shen Family Ancestor played chess, there was a wooden cabin.]
[The interior was very spacious. There were no beds, tables, or chairs, only rows upon rows of bookshelves.]
[The bookshelves were categorized, each hanging with different labels.]
[Martial Dao, Alchemy Dao, Talisman Dao, Artifact Dao, Formation Dao, Puppet Dao, Shaman Dao, Incense Dao, Beast Taming Dao...]
["There are actually this many paths?"]
[Usually hanging around the Five Regions, you basically only encountered the Martial Dao, alchemy, and artifact refining. Formations were rarely seen unless you were fighting siege battles or storming someone's headquarters.]
[Yet, in the Shen Family Ancestor's library, you discovered a full eighteen Dao paths!]
[You took down a book on the Beast Taming Dao to read, only to find you couldn't really understand it.]
[You only gathered that it seemed to mention a person could elevate their realm purely through beast taming, without practicing martial arts.]
[These paths didn't seem to mean the same thing as the martial arts side-professions you had assumed them to be.]
["Junior, these Dao books were written by me after more than thirty thousand years of studying, summarizing, and filling in the gaps of the paths left by ancient sages.
Read them if you wish. I cannot control you right now, I only hope you have basic decency and do not destroy my life's work.
Passing these books down to future generations holds immense significance."]
[The voice of the Shen Family Ancestor echoed from within the Myriad Soul Banner.]
[You said dismissively.]
["Your idea of continuing the lost teachings of past sages is good, but your execution is a complete mess.
These paths are now only passed down within your Shen family. The human race in the Five Regions and the Great Wilderness basically only knows the four arts of martial arts, alchemy, artifact refining, and formations."]
["Since the Primordial Era, the purity of the world's essence has not matched that of the Ancient Era; practicing the Martial Dao is the optimal solution.
Even if I were willing to send people to teach the other paths, not many would be willing to spend the time learning them.
They either cannot directly raise one's realm, or they require massive amounts of resources."]
[Without another word, you waved your hand and swept the Shen Family Ancestor's life work entirely into your spatial ring.]
["Junior, you..."]
[The Shen Family Ancestor was angered by you once again.]
[Since you couldn't get out anyway, you planned to use Photographic Memory to memorize all these books whenever you had free time!]
[They are all mine!]
[It doesn't matter if I can't learn them now; when the corresponding trait comes, I'll learn them in minutes!]
[The thirtieth year, forty-eight years old.]
[Extracting trait...]
[Extraction successful!]
["Master Artifact Refiner" (Purple Epic): You are proficient in the study of spiritual artifact materials, possess top-tier artifact refining talent, and your efficiency in learning artifact refining techniques is beyond imagination!]
[Adjust trait?]
[Yes/No]
"Great, great, great, the simulator really understands me!
With the teaching materials provided by the Shen Family Ancestor and the materials found in the small world.
It wants me to self-study artifact refining and personally forge the immortal artifact, the Myriad Soul Banner!"
Easier said than done. Chen Yi could feel that ten years was still far too tight.
Having to learn the art of artifact forging and actually forge an Immortal Artifact on top of that, the difficulty felt a bit too overwhelming.
"Destiny has its own arrangements. I just need to make some micro-adjustments!"
[You have equipped 'Master Artifact Forger'.]
[You have equipped 'Master Alchemist'.]

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.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
【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.)
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
