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.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
