[ "I am not asking you to go to the front lines, nor am I asking you to deal with Demon King-level enemies.
Right now, the commoners within the Five Domains are being plagued relentlessly by infiltrating demons, resulting in massive population losses.
The prosperity of any race is inextricably linked to its base population.
Even if we hold off the demon army east of the Azure Ridge, if the mortals in the rear are slaughtered, the human race won't be far from extinction.
The demonic calamities erupting everywhere must be quelled as quickly as possible. Stabilizing our rear will also benefit the front lines.
Rest assured, we are keeping a close eye on any demons at or above the Demon King level operating within the Five Domains. Someone else will deal with them; you don't need to exert yourself on that front.
What you need to do is deal with the demons below the Demon King level. I believe that with your physique, you are more than capable!" ]
[ The Sword Master invites you to take command and lead an army to quell the demonic calamities. What is your choice? ]
[ 1. Jiang Ziya came out of retirement at eighty, and I, too, can march to war at eighty! ]
[ 2. Cough, cough. I'm getting on in years and don't want to fight and kill anymore. Let me enjoy my twilight years in peace. ]
[ 3. I also want to go to war, but I fear my strength is insufficient. I wonder if the Sword Master has a way to help me break through my realm? ]
"The dignified Sword Master has traveled thousands of miles to ask me to come out of retirement, truly out of concern for the safety of the commoners. Would I even be human if I refused?"
Chen Yi made his choice.
"But then again, the big shot is wealthy and generous. If I don't ask for anything, how can I highlight his extraordinary status? Face is something you give each other, after all!"
[ You chose 3. ]
[ "Cough, cough! Lord Sword Master, to tell you the truth, seeing the commoners of the world being harmed by the demon race, I... I am heartbroken..." ]
[ As you speak, you beat your chest and stamp your feet, looking as though you are truly devastated. ]
[ Zhenpin has been with you for a long time and knows exactly what kind of person you are. ]
[ Seeing this, he cooperates perfectly and starts wiping away tears. ]
[ You continue. ]
[ "Actually, as Master Zhenpin and I traveled all the way from Western Liang, we took action whenever we encountered demonic calamities, doing our utmost to save the people.
As martial artists, this is what we ought to do.
However, if you want me to take command and lead an army of martial artists to deal with the various demonic calamities within the Five Domains, I have to be responsible for this army!
With my meager Soul Tempering Realm cultivation, what virtue or ability do I have? My strength is insufficient, making it difficult for me to shoulder such a heavy responsibility..." ]
[ The Sword Master looks young, but his actual age is much older than you, an eighty-year-old man. ]
[ He sees right through your little scheme, but he doesn't point it out. Instead, he begins to think seriously. ]
[ "You have indeed been stuck in the Soul Tempering Realm for a long time. I said back in the Eastern Wasteland that for someone with low-grade bone structure to break through to the Golden Body Realm is incredibly difficult; it is impossible for anyone without immense karmic luck." ]
[ "Yes, I suppose someone like me wouldn't even have a chance to break through in your Limitless Sword Sect." ]
[ "Not necessarily." ]
[ You suppress the urge to let the corners of your mouth curl up. ]
[ "What do you mean by that?" ]
[ The Sword Master takes out a sparkling peach from his storage belt. ]
[ "This item is called the Sword Heart Immortal Peach.
At the center of my Limitless Sword Sect's spirit vein, a Sword Heart Divine Tree is nurtured.
The divine tree sprouts once every three hundred years, blooms once every three hundred years, and bears fruit once every three hundred years, producing only a single Sword Heart Immortal Peach each time." ]
[ "If I eat this peach, I can break through?" ]
[ The Sword Master gives a bitter smile. ]
[ "Do you know what kind of person usually uses this item in my sect, and when?" ]
[ "I suppose it's used to help a prodigy like Wan Jianyi, who took first place in the Cauldron Inquiry Tournament, break through to the Golden Body Realm?" ]
[ "Wan Jianyi? He's not qualified yet.
The Sword Heart Immortal Peach can assist in comprehending the breakthrough to the Martial King Realm!
Only when an exceptionally talented disciple has been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm for over ten years are they allowed to use it.
Although it doesn't guarantee success, it can significantly increase the chances." ]
[ You understand now. ]
[ This peach is helpful even for a martial artist breaking through to the Martial King Realm. Using it to help you break through to the Golden Body Realm is like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. ]
[ "However, I have witnessed your physique. If you can break through to the Golden Body Realm and lead the army, quelling the demonic calamities within the Five Domains will be just around the corner. I am willing to trade this immortal peach for you to fight for the Five Domains!" ]
[ Compared to the million-strong demon army over at the Azure Ridge, the demons roaming around the Five Domains are much weaker in both number and strength. ]
[ However, while the King of Hell is easy to deal with, the little imps are a nuisance. ]
[ Top-tier combatants like the Sword Master cannot leave the front lines for long. ]
[ If they don't hold the line, the demon army will invade the Central Plains directly, which would be an absolute catastrophe. ]
[ Right now, the rear lacks a demon-slaying leader who can hold down the fort. ]
[ Although your realm is not high, your 'physique' is special. When it comes to dealing with the demon race, the Sword Master has confidence in you. ]
[ By giving you the immortal peach this time, you will definitely be able to break through to the Golden Body Realm, and then no one will be able to say your realm is low. ]
[ After all, the Golden Body, Spirit Sea, and Spirit Condensation realms are all middle stages of the martial path. ]
[ Among the demonic calamities in the rear, apart from the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey, none have reached the late stages of the martial path. ]
[ And as for that demon monkey, it will be handled by the Divine Monkey General, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey, so you don't need to worry about it. ]
[ You take the immortal peach and solemnly accept the Sword Master's invitation. ]
[ "Lord Sword Master! Once I break through, I will risk this old life of mine to clear the demonic calamities for the Five Domains and provide the front lines with a peaceful rear!" ]
[ The Sword Master smiles and nods. He can tell at a glance whether you are lying or not. ]
[ Of course, you spoke those words from the bottom of your heart. ]
[ You've been stuck at the peak of the Soul Tempering Realm for so many years, running around to so many places, and enduring so much hardship. ]
[ Finally, you can break through to the Golden Body Realm! ]
[ At a time like this, let alone asking you to go to war, you'd be willing to sell your own ass! ]
[ "By the way, Lord Sword Master, how did you find me?" ]
[ "Back in the Eastern Wasteland, after I saved you, I left a 'mark' on you.
I hope you don't mind. I wasn't tracking or spying on you; I just had a thought at the time that your physique might be of use someday.
If I ever needed to find you in the future, I'd at least have a clue." ]
[ It's fine. ]
[ Sword Master, even if you installed a security camera on me, you can install as many as you like! ]
[ It's definitely not because you gave me an immortal peach, but purely because I admire your personal charm! ]
[ Under the Sword Master's protection, you eat the Sword Heart Immortal Peach. ]
[ It takes you a full half-month to completely absorb the mystical essence within the immortal peach. ]
[ With the Sword Master's guidance, the immortal peach transforms into the power you need to smash through your realm's bottleneck, throwing open the doors to the Golden Body Realm in one fell swoop! ]
[ You have broken through! ]
"Beautiful!!"
Chen Yi had already given up hope of breaking through to the Golden Body Realm in this simulation.
According to his expectations, breaking through a major realm and gaining dozens of traits in a single simulation was already a huge profit.
A person shouldn't be too greedy!
He didn't expect that when the evil cultivator's methods proved useless and he couldn't find an earth vein...
Just when he thought he had hit a dead end, a new path suddenly opened up!
The large-scale invasion of the demon race had indirectly brought him an opportunity for a breakthrough!
So, as the saying goes.
You must live long.
Only by living a long time and experiencing enough things can you unlock more possibilities.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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?"

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
