[Ding! Host swindled Yu Meiqing, gaining 2 billion points.]
Hearing Yu Meiqing's inner thoughts, Jiang Che's thin lips curled slightly.
Your Origin of Desire Path? So overconfident, woman—this is just cringe!
Whoever grabs this thing first owns it—that's the rule.
The next moment, Yu Meiqing's figure appeared before Jiang Che, but her gaze wasn't on him at all—it was fixed directly on the Origin of Desire Path in front of him.
Radiating endless profound mysteries of the Desire Path, it was unquestionably the real deal.
The woman swallowed hard, her mind shaken to its core. She even entertained the thought of killing him to seize the Origin—murder Jiang Che, then let the Origin inherit her as its vessel. After Jiang Che's death, the ownerless Origin Path would inevitably choose her as its host.
She was already at the Half-Step Immortal Lord level; with the Origin of Desire Path, she could instantly break through to the Immortal Lord realm, gaining an unimaginably long lifespan.
But—
Jiang Che's identity was too terrifying. Though it was just hearsay, it was likely true. Jiang Che might be easy to kill, but the women behind him were a formidable bunch.
If she killed him, those Immortal Lords—even Supreme Immortal Emperors—would come knocking.
"Jiang... Brother Jiang, could I take a look at this Origin of Desire Path?" After learning Jiang Che's background, this Immortal Lord Qiangyu's eyes even turned clear and wary.
Jiang Che chuckled lightly and raised an eyebrow at her.
To be fair, this woman certainly had skills. Her theoretical knowledge was off the charts, giving Jiang Che an entirely different experience. To put it bluntly, even if she made a serious mistake, Jiang Che wouldn't have the heart to punish her.
What was that like? Imagine a stunningly beautiful, pure woman who had maxed out all the skills of those adult film stars from some island—who could resist that?
Jiang Che certainly couldn't.
"Here, look all you want!" Jiang Che knew the Demon Lord of Extreme Lust from the Harmony Demon Sect was already hooked.
Mr. Jiang had plenty of tricks for fishing, and even the pickiest fish could be tempted with the right bait.
"Th-this..." Yu Meiqing took the Origin of Desire Path from Jiang Che's hands, her entire body trembling.
This was the very thing she had craved but could never obtain. She had contemplated it for eons, was just one step away from earning the Origin's recognition, but ultimately fell short, making Jiang Che the victor.
"Oh, and Brother Jiang, aren't you cultivating the Supreme Path? You already have the Supreme Origin lodged in your body... How can you still be recognized by the Origin of Desire Path?" the woman asked, puzzled.
Everyone said one mountain couldn't hold two tigers, and the same went for Path Origins. For an ordinary cultivator, dedicating a lifetime to mastering a single Path and earning its Origin's recognition was already impressive enough. Cultivating two Paths simultaneously was impossible, let alone gaining recognition from both Origins.
"Oh, it's just my irresistible charm. Not only can maidens not refuse me, but neither can the Path Origins," Jiang Che said, pulling out his own Supreme Origin Path on the spot, along with the Origins of Emotionlessness, Temptation, and Formation—all the Path Origins he had already bought.
[Ding! Host swindled Yu Meiqing, gaining 2 billion points.]
Yu Meiqing's mind was in turmoil. She had just taken a nap—at most, she had watched millions of adult films in her dreams for some research—so how could the whole world have changed when she woke up?!
Aren't Path Origins supposed to be extremely rare? In the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, fewer than ten immortals had fused with Path Origins, how—
"Heh, Qingqing, you'll get used to it. Everyone marvels at my greatness," Jiang Che said, sounding insufferably cocky.
"If I'm in a good mood, I might even consider lending you the Origin of Desire Path for a couple of days, how about that?" Jiang Che's words were dripping with temptation.
After mulling it over for a moment, Yu Meiqing let out a resigned laugh and casually tossed the Origin of Desire Path aside. "Husband... I cultivate the Desire Path. What use would this useless thing be to me? It can't turn into a man..."
Jiang Che was speechless.
For some reason, he felt a pang in his kidneys.
...
"You seductresses! All of you are nothing but seductresses!"
Watching the countless stunningly dressed women step out of the dimensional transport ship, Yu Wan'er's mental state came crashing down.
"We're not seductresses—we're female cultivators from the Harmony Demon Sect, sent by Mr. Jiang to serve him," said a woman in a red dress, her makeup light and her clothes nearly sheer, revealing her snow-white skin.
Over a hundred such enchantingly dressed beauties stood there. As members of the Harmony Demon Sect, their attire was naturally more daring than Yu Wan'er and her companions—especially since no other men were around.
"Y-you...!"
"Damn it, Jiang Che! Stupid Jiang Che! What have you been up to out there?!" Yu Wan'er was on the verge of tears, stomping her feet in anger.
"Sister, don't be upset. We are not Mr. Jiang's women. For us to be of lowly concubine status is already more than enough," the leading Grand Elder of the Harmony Demon Sect said, bowing before Yu Wan'er.
They weren't foolish. They were just casual flings for Jiang Che, far from comparable to the red-eyed beauties by his side.
Like an ancient emperor indulging in a courtesan on a southern tour and bringing her back to the palace—would she dare to act arrogant before the empress?
"But... but you—" Yu Wan'er's brows knit tightly. She didn't want to lash out, since you couldn't hit someone who smiled at you.
Still, she absolutely loathed these wild women. Who knew if they'd been messing around outside? Actually, it was certain—they came from the Harmony Sect, and everyone knew what kind of place that was. These girls were probably veterans in the arts of love. Just thinking about Jiang Che touching women like that made her feel sick enough to throw up.
The Grand Elder seemed to read Yu Wan'er's disgust but wasn't angered. "Sister need not worry. Though the Harmony Demon Sect cultivates the Path of Desire, there are no men within the sect. My disciples and sisters have all guarded their chastity strictly. We have waited for centuries just to bloom for Mr. Jiang alone!"
Yu Wan'er paused. Thinking about it that way, it was actually possible.
After all, Jiang Che wouldn't be so desperate as to go for used goods. That thought gave her a bit of comfort.
But soon, the girl shook her head, looking at these young women with conflicted emotion.
"You... you all go in. The Immortal Palace is huge... find yourselves a place to stay. And I warn you—I am Jiang Che's favorite, so don't cause any trouble!"
The sudden influx of seductive women made Yu Wan'er start guarding her turf.
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?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
