Elder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect?
“Are you joking? Everyone knows the Huan Hua Immortal Sect doesn’t even have a single male disciple—how could they have a male Elder?”
“Even if you’re trying to deceive people, at least do your research first,” Sun Niantang sneered.
Sun Niantang didn’t believe it, but while Shen Yunfei was surprised, he knew Chen Chang'an well. He hadn’t expected Chen Chang'an to rise so quickly after arriving in the Ancient Immortal Domain not long ago.
An Elder—this was no small matter. Though the Huan Hua Immortal Sect wasn’t a top-tier force in the Xuantian Domain, it was still one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.
This clearly wasn’t a case of Chen Chang'an being recruited by the Huan Hua Immortal Sect—it was more like he had taken over the entire sect.
“So you are the newly appointed Elder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect.”
“My apologies for the disrespect.”
Sun Niantang remained skeptical, but the attendant of the Heavenly Pride Pavilion respectfully bowed to Chen Chang'an.
The attendant’s reaction left Sun Niantang completely stunned.
What was going on?
Was he really the Elder of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect?
This was an attendant of the Heavenly Pride Pavilion—there was no way they would collude with Chen Chang'an to deceive him.
At this moment, Sun Niantang’s mind went blank. The Sun Family was influential, but they couldn’t contend with the Huan Hua Immortal Sect. However… if he could ascend the Heavenly Pride Rankings, he wouldn’t need to fear this man.
Thinking this, Sun Niantang relaxed slightly and no longer looked as tense when facing Chen Chang'an.
“What was the Huan Hua Immortal Sect thinking, appointing someone like this as an Elder?”
“This is utterly ridiculous.”
Just then, a young man walked out of the inn, casting a disdainful glance at Chen Chang'an, completely unfazed by his status.
“Who are you? How dare you disrespect our Elder?” Xiao Yao demanded angrily.
“Who am I?”
“Listen well—I am Jiang Yuan of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, ranked forty-ninth on the Heavenly Pride Rankings.”
Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect?
Upon hearing this, Chen Chang'an froze. He never expected there would still be remnants of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect.
Qingluan and Xiao Yao exchanged glances, equally surprised to encounter someone from the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect here.
“Hmm… how long has it been since you returned?” Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yuan frowned, sensing something off about Chen Chang'an’s gaze.
“Nothing, just curious.”
“I’ve been in the Heavenly Pride City for three years. Why?”
Three years!
No wonder he didn’t know!
“The Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect… impressive, truly impressive.”
“You should go back and visit. Your sect’s Ancestor recently took a wife,” Chen Chang'an said with a smile.
What?
The Ancestor took a wife?
Jiang Yuan’s brows furrowed as he said coldly, “Don’t spout nonsense. Our Ancestor has never married.”
“It’s true. He just kept it low-key and didn’t invite any guests.”
“I can vouch for that—it really happened.”
The attendant’s words made Chen Chang'an’s heart skip a beat. He knew about this too? Did he also know about the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect’s destruction?
This attendant from the Heavenly Pride Pavilion seemed to know a lot. It seemed the pavilion wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
Jiang Yuan might not believe Chen Chang'an, but he wouldn’t dare doubt the attendant’s words.
“Such an important matter, and the sect didn’t even notify me.”
“I must return at once.”
“Thank you for informing me.”
Jiang Yuan had been in Heavenly Pride City for three years. Though he was only ranked forty-ninth on the Heavenly Pride Rankings, he had gained much during his time here.
Now that such a significant event had occurred in the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect, he had to return and see for himself.
However, Jiang Yuan only thanked the attendant and paid no further attention to Chen Chang'an.
As Jiang Yuan left, Chen Chang'an kept his eyes fixed on the attendant.
“Young Master, allow me to show you to your accommodations,” the attendant said with a smile.
“Very well.”
The attendant led Chen Chang'an to the courtyards in the rear. Though the Heavenly Pride Pavilion appeared modest from the outside, the back area was expansive, with numerous courtyards.
“It seems you’re quite well-informed.”
“Do you also know about the current state of the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect?” Chen Chang'an probed.
The attendant chuckled. “Naturally, the Heavenly Pride Pavilion is privy to many things. But we understand what should and shouldn’t be said.”
“Rest assured, the Heavenly Pride Pavilion is neutral and unaffiliated with any faction.”
Speaking with a clever person required few words—just a glance or a phrase was enough to convey meaning.
“Since you know so much, would you care to join me for a meal?”
“I’ve just arrived and would like to inquire about a few things.”
Compared to Sun Niantang, this attendant likely had more reliable and accurate information.
The only question was whether, as an attendant of the Heavenly Pride Pavilion, he had the time or if there were any rules preventing him from getting too close to guests.
The attendant was taken aback by Chen Chang'an’s invitation. After a moment’s thought, he replied, “As a distinguished guest, your reasonable requests are my priority.”
“Shall I make the arrangements now?”
“Yes. I’ve heard the Heavenly Pride Pavilion’s cuisine is exceptional. Prepare a feast—we’d like to indulge.”
“Don’t worry about spirit stones. Arrange it as you see fit,” Chen Chang'an said with a smile.
The attendant hesitated briefly before nodding. “Understood. I’ll handle it.”
After the attendant left, Chen Chang'an turned to the others. “Everyone, pick your rooms first. We’ll enjoy a grand meal later.”
“Brother Chen, something about your conversation with him felt… off.”
“What happened to the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect?” Shen Yunfei asked, puzzled.
“Nothing much. I just wiped them out.”
“Oh, so that Jiang Yuan is…”
“You destroyed the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect?”
Shen Yunfei stared at Chen Chang'an in shock. No wonder the attendant had looked at him strangely earlier—he’d been hiding such a bombshell?
Annihilating one of the Five Great Immortal Sects?
“How is that possible?”
“Such a major event, yet there’s been no word of it?” Shen Yunfei exclaimed.
“It happened right before I met you. News probably hasn’t spread yet.”
“But what intrigues me more is—what exactly is the Heavenly Pride Pavilion? How do they know so much?”
“In fact, I suspect that attendant knows I destroyed the Blazing Heaven Immortal Sect.”
“That’s terrifying, don’t you think?” Chen Chang'an frowned.
Hearing this, Shen Yunfei also felt a chill. Did that mean nothing was hidden from the Heavenly Pride Pavilion?
Were all events in the Xuantian Domain under their surveillance?
“Just what kind of existence is the Heavenly Pride Pavilion?”

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. ...

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.”
