Jiang Ruoxu did not turn off his live stream while enduring the heavenly tribulation, so his pitiful state was witnessed by over a hundred million viewers in the broadcast.
Because Jiang Ruoxu had preached the "Human Emperor Scripture," his prestige in the cultivation world of Dragon Country was immense, even surpassing Jiang Che's reputation. Some had even begun revering him as the "Ancestor of Dao."
In the past, whenever the young master appeared in a live stream, he always carried an air of grandeur—after all, showing off required proper flair. Even when facing the Thousand Tribulations of Immortality earlier, he remained calm and composed, as if the heavenly punishment was nothing to him.
But now, he had been utterly broken by the thunder.
[Holy shit, streamer, hang in there! Don’t let the lightning kill you! Who else are we supposed to learn cultivation from?]
[Do you really have to endure such terrifying lightning tribulations just to reach the Divine Passage realm? If that’s the case, maybe I’ll just skip this realm altogether.]
[If you’re not cultivating it, then neither am I.]
[Ahem, sounds like you guys just lack the talent to reach Divine Passage, huh?]
[But was what he said earlier true? The streamer is still a virgin? Damn… Compared to his brother, that’s just sad. Young Master Jiang has a harem full of beauties!]
[I also heard… Old Master Jiang Yunhuang was quite the playboy in his youth, with over a dozen wives and concubines. Young Master Jiang Che has clearly surpassed his ancestor. So why is Jiang Ruoxu… Could it really be that he’s as “weak” as his name suggests?]
[Let’s just say… maybe Jiang Ruoxu isn’t actually a blood descendant of the Jiang family? How did he miss out on inheriting the playboy gene?]
[Yikes… The more you think about it, the more plausible it seems! The grandson might not be a real grandson, you know…]
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruoxu, who was desperately enduring the tribulation, accidentally glanced at the live stream comments and nearly had a stroke from rage.
Thanks to his system, he could instantly read all the comments with just a thought.
[You bastards are the illegitimate ones!]
Just as Jiang Ruoxu was losing his composure, another bolt of lightning struck him squarely on the head, blasting his soul right out of his body!
"Soul-Nourishing Pills! Soul-Nourishing Pills! Thank god I still have some system points left!"
Jiang Ruoxu quickly accessed the system shop, but the moment he entered, he froze in shock.
[System Shop Flash Sale! Everything at 10% off! Only 10% of the original price!]
10% off?!
Instantly, Jiang Ruoxu’s nearly shattered soul reignited with excitement.
He had always complained about the system’s ridiculously high prices, but now… with a 90% discount, the possibilities were endless.
[Premium Soul-Nourishing Pill: Heals soul injuries. Original price: 300,000 Pretend Points. Now: 30,000 Pretend Points.]
[Supreme Spirit Stone: Original price: 10 million Pretend Points. Now: 1 million.]
Without hesitation, Jiang Ruoxu bought ten Soul-Nourishing Pills and swallowed one immediately. His scattered soul instantly reformed.
"No time to think—I’m splurging! Even if I die, I’m spending every last Pretend Point!"
Jiang Ruoxu went on a shopping spree.
He refused to die a poor man!
[Lightning-Warding Talisman: Can block one heavenly-grade lightning strike. Original price: 1 million Pretend Points. Now: 100,000.]
A Lightning-Warding Talisman?!
Jiang Ruoxu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately bought one.
"BOOM—" Another bolt of Heavenly Dao’s Eternal Thunder struck him, but this time, the talisman absorbed 90% of its power. The remaining 10% was nothing he couldn’t handle.
"I’m saved! Heaven hasn’t abandoned me!"
Grinning from ear to ear, Jiang Ruoxu spent 3 million Pretend Points to buy 30 Lightning-Warding Talismans.
He had saved up a fortune—nearly 30 million Pretend Points.
Originally, he had planned to save 10 million to buy a Supreme Body-Refining Pill for his master, Mo Lianxing. But now, she had already been whisked away by Jiang Che.
"Damn, even the Celestial Body is on sale? 10% off and it’s still 300 million?! Still can’t afford it! What a scam!"
After cursing for a while, Jiang Ruoxu settled for purchasing power-boosting treasures. Unlike Jiang Che, he didn’t splurge on disposable items—he had to be frugal.
His attention then turned to Martial Dao Imprints.
"My master said… surviving the Divine Passage Tribulation would allow me to condense a Martial Dao Imprint." Jiang Ruoxu clenched his fists.
For him, a Martial Dao Imprint was the most valuable treasure right now.
[Immortal-Grade Martial Dao Imprint: Condenses a True Immortal’s Martial Dao Imprint. Original price: 1 billion Pretend Points. Now: 100 million.]
Nope, way too expensive!
[Emperor-Grade Martial Dao Imprint: Condenses a Supreme Emperor’s Martial Dao Imprint. Original price: 150 million Pretend Points. Now: 15 million.]
Sold!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who knew when the next 90% discount would come?
He knew his limits—at best, he could only condense a top-tier King-Grade Martial Dao Imprint. An Emperor-Grade one? Practically impossible.
It was a shame. Jiang Che had condensed the highest-grade Immortal Imprint, while he was once again… one step behind.
......
The Lightning-Warding Talismans were incredibly effective, shielding Jiang Ruoxu from most of the tribulation’s damage.
Even the legendary Heavenly Dao’s Eternal Tribulation couldn’t kill him.
Of course, 30 talismans weren’t enough to survive the entire ordeal. The young master had to buy every healing pill he could find, emptying his entire fortune… just to barely cling to life.
When the tribulation clouds finally dispersed, all that remained was a charred, motionless body.
But soon, the burnt shell cracked and fell away, revealing a terrifying aura surging from within.
Having survived the Heavenly Dao’s Eternal Tribulation, he had forged an Eternal Body—a Quasi-Immortal physique.
"I… What’s happening to me?"
Jiang Ruoxu’s eyes widened as overwhelming power flooded his body.
"My physique… has evolved?"
Meanwhile, high above the thunderclouds…
Jiang Che yawned. Though he had played a trick on Jiang Ruoxu, he had also given him plenty of opportunities.
He had practically handed him a Quasi-Immortal Body and an Emperor-Grade Martial Dao Imprint. Even his survival of the Heavenly Dao’s Eternal Tribulation was thanks to Jiang Che’s behind-the-scenes meddling.
Did he really think a few talismans could defy the Heavenly Dao’s wrath?
[My lord, it seems you do have a soft spot for family. To bestow such fortune upon that boy…]
Mo Lianxing wasn’t foolish. Though Jiang Ruoxu had talent and a Pure Yang Saint Body, that physique was considered low-tier even among Saint Bodies—let alone capable of triggering a Heavenly Dao Tribulation.
There was no way he could have survived without Jiang Che’s intervention.
"Oh? So you’re saying I was heartless before?" Jiang Che side-eyed Mo Lianxing.
[Of course not! I’ve been by your side day and night, and the treasures you’ve given me are beyond count. How could you ever be called heartless?]
"Ah, so I’m only a good husband when I shower you with riches? Otherwise, I’m just a scoundrel?"
Jiang Che couldn't hold it in anymore—how could someone be this shamelessly greedy for money?
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
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.
