Jiang Ruoxu: "......"
Master, could you please not echo everything my brother says?
It makes you look so cheap, you know?
"Che'er, I don't know about this altar, but this place has the densest spiritual energy, perfect for your cultivation... Aren’t you skilled in that dual cultivation technique? I’ll have someone build a grand palace here, and you can bring all your ladies over..."
Jiang Yunhuang’s imagination ran wild.
But unfortunately, Jiang Che had already taken action. The Jiang family villa was filled with top-tier spiritual fields, and even had a small spirit-gathering array to prevent energy leakage.
Compared to Jiang Ruoxu, Jiang Che’s personality was more like the old man Jiang’s.
"Uh... no need for that!"
Jiang Che felt awkward. What did he mean by "skilled in dual cultivation"? That was straight-up slander! It was the Supreme Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, okay?
"Grandfather, Jiang Che doesn’t need it..." Jiang Ruoxu had experienced the spiritual energy density in the Jiang family villa—it was a hundred times richer than the core area here!
"I think it’s you who doesn’t need it!" Jiang Yunhuang glared at Jiang Ruoxu, his tone laced with irritation.
Jiang Ruoxu: "......"
He really wanted to cry. His own grandfather and master had both betrayed him. It was so frustrating he could scream.
Jiang Che didn’t bother comforting his little cousin. Kids needed to face hardships and betrayals to grow up. After all, once the two realms connected, Jiang Ruoxu would definitely venture into the Nine Heavens to show off... If he stayed naive, he’d probably get scammed and still help count the money.
"Grandfather, I don’t need to stay here. Before leaving, my master gave me plenty of top-grade spirit stones for cultivation."
"But for you all, this place could be an excellent training ground... You could assign some Jiang family disciples to cultivate here."
"However, this is the Boundary Gate. Grandfather, your strength may be unrivaled in this world, but what if enemies descend from the heavens? I suspect the next ones might be half-step Divine Transformation or even stronger..."
Jiang Yunhuang fell into deep thought.
"So, I’ve prepared some contingencies here. Even if heavenly enemies arrive... we can easily suppress them."
With that, Jiang Che pulled out everything he had prepared in one go.
The items were flashy and varied—formation flags, stone statues, coffins, and even some Iron Man-esque combat mechas.
[God-Slaying Banner: The strongest single-target artifact for Divine Transformation cultivators, capable of annihilating their souls...]
[Statue of Annihilation (Tier IV): Can unleash annihilation-grade ∑-rays, containing a wisp of the Law of Destruction. One-time use, self-destructs after activation...]
[Sealing Stone Coffin: Contains a trace of the Law of Sealing, capable of imprisoning enemies within...]
[Anti-Cultivator Mecha: Equipped with the most advanced anti-cultivator systems and particle weapons...]
Jiang Yunhuang and the others were utterly dumbfounded as they watched Jiang Che, like some kind of Doraemon, endlessly pulling out treasures.
Jiang Che took out over a dozen different artifacts in one go.
These were all limited-time, 90%-off flash sale items from the system shop.
At the time, Jiang Che had bought them all, only to let them gather dust in his system inventory.
How could he afford to relax so carefree and maintain his harem?
Even during a damn spiritual energy resurgence, he was busy "frying little fish." The system was his ultimate confidence.
"Grandfather, this is the God-Slaying Banner—it can destroy Divine Transformation souls!"
"And this is the Statue of Annihilation..."
Jiang Che introduced each item one by one. The God-Slaying Banner was planted in the ground beside the altar, while the Statue of Annihilation was tossed onto the altar itself. The black stone merged seamlessly with the altar, turning it into an eight-colored structure.
The coffin was buried underground...
Pure ambush tactics!
Even if a Martial God came through the gate, under the barrage of these artifacts, they’d likely be reduced to ashes.
"This... can kill a Divine Transformation expert?" Jiang Yunhuang’s hands trembled in shock.
Divine Transformation cultivators... they only existed in legends! And this thing could instantly kill one?
Just then, a gleam of light erupted from the altar!
The surrounding seven-colored divine stones all shone brightly—except for one pitch-black stone, which remained dull.
Then, an overwhelming aura surged from beyond the gate.
This aura even surpassed Jiang Yunhuang, a 7th-stage Sky-Shattering cultivator—it had to be at least 9th-stage Sky-Shattering!
As the light faded, an old man in tattered white robes slowly appeared. His face was youthful, his hair snowy white, and he carried a longsword on his back—exuding an air of grandeur.
"Hahaha! So there really is a loophole in the Immortal Prison! By sheer luck, I’ve descended to the lower realm! Qing’er must have already conquered this place by now!"
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard.
Indeed, he was Ye Qing’s grandmaster—a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator known as the White Jade Sword Immortal, Li Changfeng!
"Oh? Natives of the lower realm? Come here... guide me!"
Li Changfeng beckoned to Jiang Yunhuang and the others with a finger. His smile was warm, yet his demeanor dripped with condescension.
Jiang Yunhuang tensed like never before, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks.
"Che’er, Ruoxu, stand behind me..."
But Jiang Che’s face lit up with delight. Talk about perfect timing!
And this old man... was Ye Qing’s master?
Heh heh heh—
Soon, the glow of the seven-colored divine stones dimmed, but the black stone erupted with a blinding radiance.
It carried a terrifying aura of annihilation, evoking a sense of impending doom.
"You lowly natives... what is this—?"
Li Changfeng was mid-boast when the strange black stone beside him fired a beam of death straight at him!
His pupils contracted. He tried to dodge, but his body seemed frozen—nowhere to escape!
He could only watch as the light pierced his body... and in an instant, his form disintegrated into ashes, vanishing from existence.
Not even a scream escaped his lips.
Even Jiang Yunhuang fell silent.
He’d been ready to fight for his life... only for the enemy to get one-shot?
The most shocked was Mo Lianxing.
Her soul trembled in awe.
Though the beam from the statue seemed plain, she distinctly sensed a wisp of the Law of Destruction within it.
The power of laws!
The key difference between Divine Transformation and Martial God realms lay in the comprehension of laws!
The Martial God stage was merely an extension of Divine Transformation. Only those who grasped a wisp of law could become Martial Gods—otherwise, they remained at the 9th-stage Divine Transformation.
And when Nirvana-stage experts battled, they wielded the power of laws.
To infuse a statue with the Law of Destruction... such craftsmanship was nothing short of awe-inspiring.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia

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.

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

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.”
