After settling the Sun-Moon Pagoda, Chen Yi waited in the Wing Realm for a while.
He was mainly waiting for the Xuanlan Five Heroes to gather the materials he needed.
Chen Yi was never one to sit around doing nothing.
The Wing Realm and the Human Realm differed greatly in their natural scenery, cultural landmarks, customs, and just about every other aspect.
Since Chen Yi had only recently arrived, he figured that if he had nothing else to do, he might as well take a trip around the world.
Traveling alone was boring, but Chen Yi wasn’t alone.
“Buddy! How can you be this carefree at your age? The Black Hand is going to destroy the world! You should either run for your life or cultivate! What’s with traveling around everywhere?!”
After hearing that the Black Hand had destroyed the Five Elements Root Vessels, the Myriad Soul Banner became extremely nervous.
The Five Elements Root Vessels were known to be spirit artifacts, and the Myriad Soul Banner was also a spirit artifact.
Therefore, if the Black Hand intended to destroy the Five Elements Root Vessels, it might threaten him as well.
Naturally, he was very anxious.
“Hey! Who’s this? Scared witless by the Black Hand? Guess what—someone in this state still wants to become the supreme master of all the world’s spirit artifacts!”
The Demon Refining Pot continued to mock him right to his face.
The Immortal Binding Rope, the Heavenly Dragon Blade, and the other immortal artifacts played the role of reasonable mediators, often stepping in to keep the two artifacts from fighting.
With this bunch of immortal artifacts as companions, Chen Yi was anything but lonely on his journey.
Besides the immortal artifacts, there was also the sweet-talking and obedient Five Domains Sacred Pill. Every day, it called him “Master” this and “Master” that, took an interest in everything in the Wing Realm, and hopped about on Chen Yi’s shoulder, asking questions about this and that.
Traveling wasn’t entirely without benefits, either.
In reality, Chen Yi could freely switch out his traits. Since his body had never undergone any physical enhancement, he could equip “Low-Grade Root Bone” and “Mortal Bone” whenever he had nothing to do, then spend his time comprehending divine abilities.
By the later stages of the sixth simulation, Chen Yi had gone many years without comprehending a new divine ability.
But not comprehending anything new didn’t mean he hadn’t been accumulating insights.
Those accumulated insights were inherited along with everything else from the simulation.
Several months later, Chen Yi comprehended a new divine ability from among them.
Disjointing: Causes objects to break apart into pieces, or allows one’s own limbs to separate and reassemble, making one immune to being dismembered.
“How did he end up comprehending this? What on earth has Old Sixth been thinking about every day...?”
This divine ability was essentially an enhanced version of the Split-Split Fruit. It could not only split Chen Yi apart, but also cause other things to split apart.
The only question was whether someone could be reassembled and continue living after being split apart.
“Let’s find someone to test it on.”
Chen Yi casually found a winged-man bully who had been running wild and committing all sorts of evil in the area, then split off both of his wings.
“Ah!!! My wings!!”
To the Wingfolk, losing their wings was more painful than losing their heads—the pain was emotional.
“Oh dear. I can’t put them back on.”
Chen Yi sounded rather disappointed.
The winged-man bully, whose wings had been forcibly removed by Chen Yi, couldn’t help but start cursing.
“You foreigner! Why did you do this to me?! You’ll die a horrible death!”
“My friend, now that you have no wings, there’s absolutely no difference between you and me. How can you call me a foreigner?”
“You...”
“Besides, I was only conducting an experiment. The experiment failed, that’s all.”
“Nonsense! How could an experiment like this possibly succeed? Who has ever been able to reattach a part of their body after it falls off?!”
“I have.”
As he spoke, Chen Yi removed his own head and then put it back on, as casually as hot-swapping a USB drive.
The winged-man bully and the surrounding spectators fell completely silent.
A few seconds later, they screamed in terror and scattered like frightened birds and beasts, flapping their wings as they fled in every direction. Some of them even fainted on the spot.
Chen Yi sneered.
“What a bunch of bumpkins. You live in a cultivation world—what’s there to be surprised about?”
Another month passed, and the Xuanlan Five Heroes returned.
They had brought back all the materials Chen Yi needed from the Wing Realm.
They also returned with several thousand Qi Transformation cultivators pursuing them.
“Stop right there, Xuanlan Five Thieves! Return my family heirloom!”
“The Five Great Thieves are utterly despicable! They even dug up my ancestors’ graves! They have absolutely no bottom line!”
“Today, we shall uphold justice and rid the world of these five Wingfolk scourges!”
The Xuanlan Five Heroes had already been extremely careful.
But after committing crimes at such a high frequency for several months, even the greatest caution had its limits.
Now, they had nowhere left to run. Fortunately, Chen Yi arrived in time to receive them.
Looking at the crowd pursuing them in the distance, Chen Yi clicked his tongue.
“You five really are terrible at making friends. How did you end up with so many enemies?”
Xuanlan Big Brother sighed.
“Strictly speaking, these are your enemies.”
Chen Yi smiled and pretended not to hear him.
“So the Wing Realm has become unlivable for you now?”
“It’s no longer a question of whether we can survive here. The question is how much longer we’ll live, Senior...”
The Xuanlan Five Heroes spoke in unison.
“You can’t abandon us, Senior!”
Chen Yi glanced at Sotuofeiren, who had become his follower.
“Why do all of you talk to me the same way he does?”
Over the past few months, Sotuofeiren had already recovered his cultivation to the late Qi Transformation stage.
Of course, he hadn’t recovered it on his own.
Chen Yi had gone to Sky City and cashed in a little of his reputation, persuading the Wingfolk Guardian to restore Sotuofeiren’s cultivation.
The moment his cultivation returned, Sotuofeiren’s gratitude toward Chen Yi surged like an endless river.
He remained completely unaware that Chen Yi was the reason his cultivation had fallen in the first place.
“Don’t worry, all six of you. Of course I won’t abandon you. We’re a team! Let’s go!”
As he spoke, Chen Yi threw a Light-Speed Punch.
The terrifying force of the punch caused the Wingfolk experts pursuing the Xuanlan Five Heroes, more than a thousand kilometers away, to tremble in fear.
Just as they thought the punch would pulverize them, the beam of light unleashed by the Light-Speed Punch shattered the space between them and Chen Yi instead. It plunged into the turbulence of space-time and began bombarding the world barrier.
“Rumble...!”
The noisy and bizarre sound echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Chen Yi waved his hand, and the Immortal Binding Rope bundled up Sotuofeiren and the Xuanlan Five Heroes before dragging them all into the shattered space.
The experts from the various factions who had given chase stared at one another in stunned silence.
“Is this... really power that a Void Realm cultivator should possess?”
At the same time, high above in the sky, the Wingfolk Guardian and the Furi God were equally shaken when they witnessed Chen Yi punching open the world barrier.
“Every time we open the world barrier, we have to expend an enormous amount of resources, and even then, we can’t necessarily pinpoint our destination. Yet he comes and goes as casually as that...”
“I suspect... he descended from the True Realm!”
The Wingfolk Guardian’s words made the Furi God’s eyes widen.
“Are you serious?”
“I can’t think of any other explanation.”
“If the Human Realm had a guardian like that, how could the Wing Realm possibly stand against it in a war between worlds?”
“Fortunately, we didn’t designate the Human Realm as a priority target for invasion...”
As they passed through countless temporal fragments across innumerable planes, Chen Yi noticed a somewhat unusual plane.
“Hm...? What’s inside this place...?”
Chen Yi had already found a plane he wanted to visit among the countless temporal fragments. He didn’t want to create complications by getting involved with this “unusual” plane.
So Chen Yi summoned Chen Six and tossed him into the strange plane.
“Go take a look! Find out what’s going on, then kill yourself. See you tomorrow!”
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
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?!
