[You stood outside the cauldron and said faintly.]
["Sect Leader Yu, I trust you have been well since we last met."]
["Do I know you? Which of my enemies are you?"]
["It seems you have quite a few enemies. I am your enemy from Luoding Village."]
["Luoding Village... wasn't that village completely massacred? Are there still survivors?"]
["Confess honestly about what happened back then, and I will spare your life."]
["Good, good, good! I will definitely tell you everything I know, without holding anything back!"]
[This Sect Leader Yu was a spineless coward.]
[He probably cherished his current cultivation realm, which he had worked so hard to achieve, and didn't want to die just like that.]
[The Crimson Heart Sect was a branch of the Holy Fire Cult in the Central Plains; you already knew this point.]
[In the village massacre case, the mastermind instructed the Holy Fire Cult to slaughter the village. The Holy Fire Cult couldn't possibly send a group of people all the way from Western Liang.]
[So in the end, the ones who took on the role of executioners were basically all people from the Crimson Heart Sect.]
[Sect Leader Yu stated that as soon as the village massacre ended that day, he purged all the people who took action and threw their bodies into the Qing River.]
["You silenced the people who participated in the village massacre?"]
["Naturally. It's true that I established the Crimson Heart Sect with the support of the Holy Fire Cult, but I didn't want to be used by them forever. I wanted to cut ties with them completely. The Luoding Village incident was the last thing I did for them!"]
[Sect Leader Yu wanted to wash his hands clean, so he didn't hesitate to silence his own people.]
["The Holy Fire Cult's massacre of the village was also instigated by someone. Do you have any guesses about this mastermind?"]
["I don't know. That is absolutely not an existence I can come into contact with."]
["Do you know that the main members of the Holy Fire Cult were all silenced?"]
["I know... Obviously, the mastermind didn't want anyone to know what he did. Thanks to the fact that I had cut off contact with the Holy Fire Cult early on, otherwise I would have found it hard to escape death as well."]
["Who destroyed the Holy Fire Cult?"]
["Blood Moon, an assassin organization."]
["The Blood Moon organization? Why have I never heard of it?"]
[You had simulated four times, after all. You shouldn't have never heard of an organization capable of destroying the Holy Fire Cult at its peak.]
["It's not strange that you haven't heard of them. Blood Moon is not in the Five Regions; they are a faction in the Great Wasteland."]
["Isn't the Great Wasteland filled with the Monster Race? Blood Moon is a group of monsters?"]
["No, there are monsters in the Five Regions, so of course there are humans in the Great Wasteland as well."]
Outside the simulation, Chen Yi read word by word, looking very carefully.
"There are finally new clues about the village massacre case. Blood Moon..."
Although there were new clues, Chen Yi felt it was even more confusing and complicated.
It actually involved a human faction in the Great Wasteland.
Chen Yi tapped his fingers on the bed.
"There's nothing special about the village, the only special thing is Da Chun. Someone in the Great Wasteland wants to kill Da Chun?"
If he wanted to figure it out, he could only look for opportunities in the simulation to investigate further.
[Regarding the village massacre case, what Sect Leader Yu knew only reached the Blood Moon layer.]
[As for who instructed Blood Moon, Sect Leader Yu, a mere second-rate sect master at the Golden Body Realm, had no way of knowing.]
[He knew this much because a high-level executive in the Holy Fire Cult survived when Blood Moon destroyed the cult, and fled all the way to the Crimson Heart Sect to seek shelter.]
[Sect Leader Yu also lived up to expectations, found an opportunity, and ambushed the already heavily injured man.]
[Otherwise, if Blood Moon followed the vine to find the melon, the Crimson Heart Sect would have been finished long ago.]
["One more question. Every floor of this tower has patterns similar to formations. What are they for?"]
["They are just some formations to assist my cultivation. This is where I go into secluded cultivation, after all..."]
["Don't treat me like a fool. Since I'm asking you, I naturally know these things aren't normal items!"]
[Sect Leader Yu sighed. He really didn't know what kind of divine being you were to have dug up his secrets so cleanly.]
["It was an incredibly ugly member of the Monster Race. He said he wanted to borrow this tower in my sect. In exchange, he upgraded the spiritual vein where our Crimson Heart Sect is located by one level."]
[He could directly upgrade the level of a spiritual vein?]
[This alien race had some serious skills...]
["The Monster Race? Are you sure that guy was from the Monster Race?"]
["He had an inhuman appearance but could speak. If not the Monster Race, what else could he be?"]
[This Sect Leader Yu had confessed everything, so he probably wouldn't hide this bit of information.]
[It seemed he didn't know that the one cooperating with him wasn't the Monster Race, but another intelligent race.]
[Confirming that Sect Leader Yu had no more information worth your attention to disclose, you said indifferently.]
["Da Chun, refine the pill."]
[The Nine Provinces Cauldron began to shrink, and Sect Leader Yu inside the cauldron screamed miserably.]
["You went back on your word! You said you wouldn't kill me!"]
[You laughed at his stupidity.]
["You actually believe the words of your enemy?"]
[Sect Leader Yu was refined into a pill by the Nine Provinces Cauldron. You didn't eat it, but crushed it into powder with one stomp.]
[This could be considered avenging a portion of the blood feud for the fellow villagers of Luoding Village, as well as your parents.]
["Hmph, Blood Moon, and the guy behind Blood Moon, just wait. Your ends will all be the same as this fool!"]
[The Myriad Soul Banner spoke to the Nine Provinces Cauldron.]
["Da Chun, oh Da Chun, look at you. You've learned bad things following this guy Chen Yi. You're using people to refine pills? Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of thing is usually only done by a villain like me!"]
[Da Chun said honestly and simply.]
["Uncle Wan, what you said is wrong. This Sect Leader Yu is a bad person. Killing his own disciples is heartless and unjust, and killing the senior who promoted him is ungrateful. This kind of bad person deserves to be killed. Killing one more bad person can save more good people."]
[The Myriad Soul Banner grew anxious.]
["No, wait? You... I... Holy shit! I actually can't win an argument against a fool right now??"]
[The next day.]
[The monsters near the Crimson Heart Sect seemed to have received some kind of summons and began to gather toward the Crimson Heart Sect.]
[You did not make a move, but merely watched from the sidelines.]
[The Crimson Heart Sect was involved in the village massacre, so you couldn't feel sympathy for them, even though many of them were unaware.]
[Even if you took action, it wouldn't mean much. The one coming was a Monster Ancestor, and you couldn't exactly act as his sugar daddy yet.]
[However, there was one person you wanted to save in passing.]
[The pavilion guard elder of the Crimson Heart Sect's library, Yin Rui.]
[Your impression of him was not bad. Even though you hadn't met in this life, it was just lifting a finger. Who knows, you might form a good karma.]
[Black clouds pressed down on the city, and white grass danced in the north wind.]
[The Monster Ancestor, Azure Dragon, coiled above the dark clouds. Its dragon claws and scales flashed in and out of sight, striking terror into anyone who looked at it.]
[The battle between the Crimson Heart Sect and the horde of lesser monsters had already begun.]
[Amidst the chaos, you walked through the area where both sides were clashing as if entering an unpopulated land.]
[Humans wouldn't attack you because you were human.]
[Monsters might attack you, but it was highly unlikely they wouldn't die within three seconds of hitting you.]
[You arrived near the library and saw Yin Rui.]
[At the same time, you saw a phantom shadow on Yin Rui.]
[A phantom shadow with sharp horns on its head, a long tail behind it, scales and barbs covering its body, and fleshy wings on its back!]
["This is..."]

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart.

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.”

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.
