The Heart of the Nine Heavens!
To put it simply, it's an ultra-large-scale regional network—massive enough to cover an entire state.
The Nine Heavens isn't just some isolated world of cultivation. A civilization that has evolved over countless ages has reached an extraordinarily advanced level.
Though cultivation remains the core, technological advancements are everywhere.
Information transmission is highly developed, and the Heart of the Nine Heavens is a prime example!
Rumor has it that some prodigy from the Destiny Seekers' Association created this thing, mastering both cultivation arrays and scientific technology before merging them into a world-spanning network.
Covering millions of states across the Nine Heavens, it connects countless billions of living beings, with transmission speeds so fast... even the great emperors can't function without it.
"So you're saying... the village finally got internet?"
Jiang Che spoke up.
"Well... yeah!" Qiu Lin nodded. It was indeed a village—the global village, that is!
Jiang Che nodded. Once the mortal realm connected to the Heart of the Nine Heavens, information would flow freely between them. Many cultivators from the mortal world would finally get news from the Nine Heavens.
"Young Master, your reputation has already spread throughout the Nine Heavens. Many factions are eager to arrange marriages with you..."
Jiang Che felt his scalp go numb. Sure, he had a weakness for women, but he couldn’t just take anyone, could he?
What, was he supposed to collect every beautiful woman in the Nine Heavens?
He had some self-awareness. The number of flawless celestial beauties in the Nine Heavens was beyond counting—trillions, at the very least. Even with his Great Sun Saint Physique, let alone its upgraded version, the "Havoc Immortal Physique," plus ten thousand extra kidneys, he wouldn’t survive.
"Marry me? Are they even worthy? From now on, unless they’re princesses of great clans or divine maidens... forget about ordinary girls!"
In the future, he’d upgrade all his women with immortal physiques. His standards would only rise—coarse grains were too rough for his taste!
"Speaking of which, how do I connect to this Heart of the Nine Heavens? Let’s see what people are saying about me!"
Jiang Che’s words made Qiu Lin’s heart tremble.
Young Master, do you really have no self-awareness? After kidnapping the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s little princess, you’ve already been blacklisted on the "This Scum Must Die" ranking!
...
The latest batch of Destiny Seekers had finished setting up the Heart of the Nine Heavens a few days prior. Connecting was simple—just close your eyes, and your spirit would automatically enter.
Inside, all kinds of information flowed. With luck, you might even become "online friends" with a great emperor.
There were even cyber sects—join a sect online, learn from masters, complete missions, and rise through the ranks... all without leaving your home.
Rumor had it that one genius became a great emperor in just five thousand years through online cultivation. But when he finally met his master in person, he was devastated to discover... the one who had guided him all along was just a Martial God.
There were also rankings: the Beauty Ranking, the Prodigy Ranking, the Emperor Ranking, and even the Heavenly Ranking.
Jiang Che searched his own name: Jiang Che
[100,000 years ago, the Demon Emperor Jiang Che of the Northwest You Heaven emerged. If not for the joint efforts of several immortal sects...]
[The Ancient Immortal Jiang Che of the Sealing Demons... transformed his Three Tribulation Immortal Body into a Demon-Sealing Pagoda, earning the praise of the Heavenly Dao...]
[A once-in-ten-millennia romantic: The Monogamous Heavenly Emperor "Jiang Che" and the Love Harmony Empress’s love-hate saga...]
"Uh... is my name really that common?"
Jiang Che was baffled. These "Jiang Ches" clearly weren’t him.
The Nine Heavens was vast—nearly ten million states across nine celestial domains. Great emperors were mighty, but in the Nine Heavens, they weren’t exactly rare. Still, they were top-tier combatants.
After searching for a while, Jiang Che finally found a small line of text:
[The super lecher from the mortal realm—"Jiang Clan’s Imperial Son," Jiang Che]
[Kidnapped the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s little princess and forcibly impregnated her. A top-tier degenerate with an immortal physique. All celestial maidens, beware when descending to the mortal realm!]
Beneath this post were countless comments:
"Damn bastard, give me back my Jia Ling'er! The debt of stealing my wife cannot be forgiven!"
"This disgusting pervert! My beloved Qing'er from the 'Light Sound Maidens' was defiled by this trash. I can’t even imagine how terrified poor little Qing'er must have been in his hands..."
"Loser, I can imagine it just fine!"
"I heard this Jiang Clan Imperial Son is insanely talented—not only does he have the Chaos Immortal Physique, but also the Void Immortal Physique. With dual immortal physiques... once he ascends to the Nine Heavens, he’ll probably shoot straight to the top of the Prodigy Ranking."
"Damn it all! The heavens are blind, giving such trash such talent. I’m so furious I could die!"
After a long silence—
Jiang Che: "......"
His reputation in the Nine Heavens was this rotten?
"Heh... hehe, well, since my name’s already mud, might as well lean into it."
"Reputations vary—some good, some bad. The past is the past. Now? I’m just a freak."
These stupid simps couldn’t let go of their crushes, but someone else had already "put them in."
Ordinary celestial maidens didn’t interest him, but the top-tier beauties on the rankings? He wouldn’t let a single one escape.
Just wait till he claimed all their goddesses—let them cry themselves to death!
"This Nine Heavens Beauty Ranking... damn, these faces are unreal! Not even AI-generated art could match this perfection."
"Oh? Seven of the top ten on the Prodigy Ranking have immortal physiques? Holy... the Lunar Ice Palace’s Holy Maiden has the Lunar Immortal Physique? Isn’t that the so-called Succubus Immortal Physique? I’ll definitely have to... thoroughly exchange pointers with her!"
"Tsk tsk, this Qingqiu Fox Clan’s enchantress is stunning too!"
Jiang Che scrolled through the Nine Heavens network, critiquing every celestial beauty he saw, jotting down names of the most alluring ones in his little black book.
Little brother, you’re living the good life following me!
...
The installation of the Heart of the Nine Heavens sent shockwaves through Earth.
Many cultivators on Earth gained vast new knowledge, their hearts filled with longing for the unknown Nine Heavens.
Of course, many factions in the Nine Heavens also extended olive branches to mortal realm cultivators.
The most absurd development? Some Earth-based telecom scammers shifted their operations, using the Nine Heavens network to swindle factions above.
They even managed to con a fair amount of spirit stones and pills.
...
"What? Jiang Che also has the Chaos Immortal Physique? Then what the hell am I?"
The Destiny Sovereign, Chu Yuan, nearly lost his mind upon hearing Jiang Che had an immortal physique.
[Kid, don’t worry. His Chaos Immortal Physique is definitely fake. Yours is the real deal. The Chaos Immortal Physique appears once every 100,000 years—it’s the Heavenly Dao’s ironclad rule to maintain balance!]
"But... I saw him survive that terrifying lightning tribulation. Just watching it made my scalp tingle..."
[You’re the Destiny Sovereign, the future successor of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Your tribulation will be even more terrifying!]
"I—"
Chu Yuan fell silent.
The one speaking to him was an artifact spirit. In an ancient celestial ruin, he had picked up a broken small cauldron inscribed with half of an immortal cultivation method, and this old man happened to be the cauldron's artifact spirit.
From the very first words, the spirit hailed him as the Chosen One of Destiny, the Chaos Immortal Body...
Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had always lived in Jiang Che's shadow.
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
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?!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!

Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
