The moment Shen Yue crushed that red talisman, the entire star domain entered a state of war.
All members of the Shen family, no matter what they were doing—even if they were in the middle of making babies—had to pull up their pants and throw themselves into this "Battle to Snatch the Patriarch."
Those above the Martial King realm directly took to the skies, while those below the Martial King realm used levitation talismans to break free from the stars' gravity, essentially allowing them to fly freely as well.
From every small star, the Shen family members swarmed like continuous lines of locusts, converging in your direction.
"Thief! Leave the Patriarch behind!!"
"Split up and flank him! We absolutely cannot let him escape the star domain!"
"Reinforce the spatial boundary barrier array!!"
The entire Shen family was fully mobilized!
The momentum was massive, shaking the heavens and the earth!
"Da Chun!! Charge!!!"
You were anxiously jumping up and down inside the cauldron's small world.
Outside the Nine Provinces Cauldron, a portion of the Shen family pursuers skilled in star domain flight had already caught up to you.
They stepped on a type of spiritual tool resembling a skateboard, flying incredibly fast with long trails of light behind them, looking just like a meteor shower.
This gang banged on the outside of the cauldron, making a racket of clinks and clanks, but the Nine Provinces Cauldron took zero damage.
"Ah! Stop pestering me!"
Da Chun, as the artifact spirit, shared the senses of the Nine Provinces Cauldron. With a shake of his mighty body, the Nine Provinces Cauldron released its divine might, blasting away all those flies clinging to it.
"Bang!!"
The Nine Provinces Cauldron smashed heavily against the spatial boundary.
An invisible barrier deeply caved inward, but it quickly restored to its original shape, bouncing the Nine Provinces Cauldron back.
The Myriad Soul Banner was anxious.
"Bro, this isn't working! Without the Shen family's secret technique, we can't open the spatial boundary!"
You grabbed the Myriad Soul Banner and leaned your body out of the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
"There is a way! As long as we have destructive power above the Martial King realm, we can open it!"
The Shen family Patriarch suffered from the backlash of possession. Even though he didn't have his peak combat strength when being refined, he wouldn't have fallen below the Martial King realm.
You were going to make the Shen family Patriarch help you break through the boundary!
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Before you could even release the Shen family Patriarch, you saw the boundary below freezing over!
Thick layers of ice piled up one after another, and a bone-piercing chill rushed at your face.
"Little thief! The Great Ice Sealing Array has been activated. Even a Martial King cannot break this boundary! Don't even think about escaping the star domain!!"
Shen Yue's voice came from behind.
You quickly shrank back into the cauldron's small world.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron crashed headfirst onto the ice and started sliding.
"Screech—"
Sliding with sparks and lightning all the way, you were surrounded by the relentlessly pursuing Shen family members.
They took out various spiritual tools and talismans, either blocking the Nine Provinces Cauldron's path or using grappling hooks to pull it, attempting to intercept you.
Da Chun performed extreme maneuvers, using his brute strength to make Z-shaped turns, forcefully maintaining the momentum of the charge.
High in the sky, Shen Yue wanted to strike.
But seeing that so many clansmen had already arrived, he thought better of it.
With the Shen family Patriarch in your hands, he was a hostage.
Shen Yue was afraid that if he struck too hard, he might injure the Patriarch or accidentally hurt other clansmen.
Besides, your cultivation realm wasn't high. Although you had the Nine Provinces Cauldron, it wasn't a lethal killing weapon like the Heaven and Earth Sword; it was just thick-skinned and rather troublesome to deal with.
Looking at the view outside the cauldron, you saw more and more Shen family members gathering.
You had to know, the Shen clan mastered eighteen paths of Dao!
Whether it was the Dao of Shamanism or the Dao of Puppetry, although you had read the theories, you hadn't learned them, so you basically had no idea what their actual effects were.
Once they exerted their power again, you would definitely be intercepted by them.
When that time came, you would either have to go out and surrender, or die of old age inside the cauldron's small world.
The latter might not even go as you wished.
It was hard to say whether the Shen family had a way to force someone out of a small world.
"You three bros, it is now a matter of life and death for us. If you have any hidden trump cards, hurry up and pull them out."
Da Chun smiled foolishly.
"Brother Yi, as long as we don't go out, it's fine. They can't come in."
The Myriad Soul Banner roared wildly.
"Holy mother of immortals! Bro! If you ask me, let's do a one-for-one trade. Hand over the Shen family Patriarch's soul in exchange for them letting you leave!"
You pondered for a moment.
"But Patriarch Shen was refined into a soul slave by you. The Shen family would let me go instead of killing me? That's highly unlikely."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"Besides, you're the one who refined him. The Shen family will definitely grind your bones to dust."
"Some things you know are impossible without even trying. Think of something else..."
Right at this moment, a yawning sound came from the Qiankun Mirror.
"Ah... hmm? What are you guys doing? Why is it so lively?"
The Qiankun Mirror had many flaws.
Inside the Star Power Profound Realm, every time he helped suppress the Shen family Patriarch, he would fall unconscious.
After waking up, he would randomly lose memories.
"Eh? Handsome, who are you? Ah! Little Brother Ding, why are you here? Why have you become so strange, somewhere between a physical body and a spiritual body?"
Just like that.
You hurriedly informed the Qiankun Mirror of the current situation.
"Ah! The Shen family Patriarch was refined by you?!"
"Ah! The Shen family is hunting you down?!"
"Ah! I'm involved too?!"
The Qiankun Mirror, which only had half a face left, also started jumping up and down.
"What the hell have I been doing?!"
"Do you have a plan? If not, let's just wait for death here."
"I do! I have an ultimate move! You just need to escape the star domain, right?"
Your eyes lit up!
"You have a way to leave the star domain?"
"Yes! But the premise is that you must return to the Star Power Profound Realm!"
"Return? I finally managed to run all the way to the spatial boundary!"
"If you don't go back, I'm out of ideas too."
You gritted your teeth.
"Fine! Then let's go back!"
Give it all!
At this moment, the Nine Provinces Cauldron had just been forcefully intercepted and stopped by a group of Shen family members.
You leaned half your body out of the cauldron and activated the Attribute Slingshot!
You used the Attribute Slingshot to fire Ji Ni Tai Mei!
A bizarre cloud of pink smoke exploded among the surrounding crowd.
The smoke condensed in mid-air into a giant phantom of a handsome man bending over to play basketball.
At the same time, a weird background music began playing in the surroundings.
"~Chicken you are too beautiful~ oh~ baby~ Chicken you are truly too beautiful~~~"
As the music played, the Shen family members who inhaled the pink smoke started twisting their bodies on the spot, grooving together with the man playing basketball in mid-air!
Crossover dribble between the legs! Spinning the ball on a finger! Turning their backs to the audience! Iron Mountain Lean! Spin! Jump...
Shen Yue watched, completely dumbfounded.
"What kind of evil sorcery is this??"
This wave of hard crowd control manifested differently depending on a person's cultivation realm. The weaker they were, the more thoroughly they were controlled, to the point where even their facial expressions were controlled.
The higher the realm, the faster they could break free from the control.
As for someone at Shen Yue's level, they were completely immune.
Taking advantage of the surrounding Shen family members being immobilized, Da Chun controlled the Nine Provinces Cauldron, soaring into the air and flying back the way they came!
Seeing the giant cauldron, over a hundred meters tall, crashing through the air towards him, Shen Yue hurriedly dodged.
He didn't dare to meet it head-on anymore. This thing was an absolute iron turtle; it was completely impenetrable!
"Stop them!!"
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.”
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
