Hehehe?
You still have the mood to be hehehe-ing?
Seeing Chen Chang'an grinning so mischievously and cheerfully, Ma Yunchao felt like he was about to drop dead on the spot.
But what could they do? After all, he was the Grand Elder.
"By the way, Grand Elder," Ma Yunchao said, "it seems some people already know about your reincarnation and your current Golden Immortal cultivation level."
"I suspect someone might come looking for trouble in the next few days."
"If you go out, you’d better be careful," Ma Yunchao warned.
"Don’t worry, I’m more afraid they won’t come," Chen Chang'an replied casually.
"Speaking of which, let me ask—if I want to participate in the Heavenly Pride Rankings, what’s the procedure?"
"I took first place in the Xuantian Domain’s Heavenly Pride Rankings and cleared all ninety-nine floors. Does that mean I can join directly without any further tests?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Oh? You cleared ninety-nine floors?"
"Theoretically, yes. But… the Xuantian Domain’s results seem… Wait a second!"
"What did you just say? How many floors?"
"Ninety-nine. What’s the problem?"
"Ninety-nine floors?! You actually cleared ninety-nine floors?!"
"Xuantian Domain, right? Let me think… Where exactly is Xuantian Domain? And how difficult is their Heavenly Pride Tower?"
"And also—"
Watching Ma Yunchao ramble like a madman, Chen Chang'an felt a headache coming on.
This guy… is a city lord?
Might as well make him the director of an asylum!
After roughly the time it took two incense sticks to burn, Ma Yunchao finally snapped out of it, his face brimming with excitement.
"I remember now! I remember!"
"Even in Xuantian Domain, clearing ninety-nine floors is an incredible feat!"
"Strange, though. News like this should’ve spread to the other Heavenly Pride Cities by now. Why haven’t I heard anything?"
Hmm?
No news?
What did that mean?
"So you’re saying the results from other Heavenly Pride Rankings are supposed to be reported to you?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Exactly. That’s how it works."
"Our Liuyun Domain might not be the strongest region, but this Heavenly Pride City is one of the Ten Great Heavenly Pride Cities responsible for compiling the overall rankings."
"Smaller domains’ Heavenly Pride Cities report their results to us so we can determine who qualifies for the main rankings."
"Normally, a result like clearing ninety-nine floors should’ve been reported long ago," Ma Yunchao explained.
Hearing this, Chen Chang'an frowned.
Did Lu Xiaoyun suppress the news?
But why would he do that?
Another scheme by Chen Tian?
"So, what’s my situation now?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Well…"
"The slower option is for me to send someone to Xuantian Domain to verify this."
"Without their official report, I can’t just approve it—not even as the city lord. That’s to prevent abuse of power, like falsifying results."
"Hiding results is one thing, but tampering with them is a serious offense."
"Of course, there’s another way. Since you’ve already participated in Xuantian Domain’s rankings, you know about the testing, right?"
"You can take the test here. If your results meet the standard, you can qualify even without prior Heavenly Pride Tower records."
"Though… the test is quite difficult."
"But for you? Clearing ninety-nine floors? Damn, I’ve never even heard of a Golden Immortal achieving that!"
"As expected of our Nine Clouds Immortal Sect’s Grand Elder!"
"Absolute legend!" Ma Yunchao gushed.
Another test?
Back in Xuantian Domain, Chen Chang'an hadn’t even gotten a proper result—he’d shattered the testing monument outright.
"Is there no way around the test?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"There is, but it’ll take time. I’d have to send someone to Xuantian Domain first."
"Round trip? At least half a year, maybe longer."
That long?
What kind of backwater place is this? Don’t they have communication tools like Voice-Transmitting Jade? Can’t Heavenly Pride Cities just contact each other?
"The Ancient Immortal Domain is vast. There’s no helping it."
"Even with Voice-Transmitting Jade, the distance is too great—it’s useless."
"Besides, each Heavenly Pride Tower is linked to its local rankings. They don’t interconnect."
"Only the Ten Great Heavenly Pride Cities’ main rankings share data," Ma Yunchao explained.
Chen Chang'an sighed in resignation.
Looks like if I want to save time, I’ll have to take the test.
"Fine. I’ll do the test."
"Great! Then I’ll take my leave—lots of city affairs to handle."
"Mm. Go ahead."
After Ma Yunchao left, Da Huang bounded over excitedly.
"Big bro, let’s go!"
"I’m not going to a brothel," Chen Chang'an said flatly.
"What? Big bro, is that all you think of me?"
"That I only care about brothels?"
"Isn’t that the case?"
"I—okay, fine, I do like them. But this time, I’m not dragging you to a brothel! Let’s go to the testing hall!"
"Last time, I didn’t get to see your results. I’m dying to know!"
"This time, the testing monument here won’t be some low-tier one, right?"
"Aren’t you even a little curious about your actual combat power level?"
Combat power level?
To be honest, Chen Chang'an wasn’t particularly curious.
His battle with Qin Shengtian had already proven his strength was on par with an Immortal Emperor’s.
Even after five more years of cultivation—reaching the fifth level of Golden Immortal—he hadn’t achieved a qualitative leap. His power still hovered around the Immortal Emperor tier.
"Are you all coming with me?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Of course! I still know nothing—gotta see the world!" Little Qiuqiu (the small dragon) chuckled.
"By the way… why haven’t you been turning into a dog collar lately?" Chen Chang'an asked, eyeing him.
"Ah, well, human form is just more convenient! Besides, being a dog collar is kinda disrespectful to my dear Da Huang, don’t you think?"
Convenient?
Convenient for dragging Da Huang to brothels, you mean?
"Big bro, you don’t need to ask me, right?"
"If I don’t go, how will you get there? The ground’s dirty!"
"I’m coming!"
"Hop on, big bro!" Yi Tuo (the lumpy creature) grinned.
Sigh…
What kind of misfits have I gathered around me? What sin did I commit in a past life to deserve this?
Looking at Da Huang and the other two, Chen Chang'an suddenly felt his own image rise to new heights.
Truly, greatness stands alone!
"Let’s go!"
"To the testing hall!"

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?"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.

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?
