Chu Yuan certainly couldn’t have the Immortal-Binding Rope, because the real one had already ended up in Jiang Che’s pocket.
“System, did you steal this Immortal-Binding Rope from the Heavenly Court’s secret realm?” Jiang Che asked suspiciously.
[Ding! Host has scammed the Chosen One Chu Yuan, rewarded with 50 million points.]
The system didn’t explain, but its silence spoke volumes!
“You’re something else!” Jiang Che gave the system a thumbs-up. The system really outdid itself this time!
The fact that it could brazenly steal the Immortal-Binding Rope from the Heavenly Court’s secret realm deepened Jiang Che’s awe for the system. Now he could continue slacking off without a care.
“But it’s not like I took his stuff for nothing—at least I gave him a Postnatal Immortal Physique, right?” Jiang Che grinned.
He had sworn an oath that the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by the special-effects-disguised Chaos Immortal Physique could, at most, refine a Quasi-Immortal Physique-level Postnatal constitution. Even though Chu Yuan’s tribulation was several times stronger, it still couldn’t forge a true Immortal Physique.
Without Jiang Che casually tossing in four or five extra Immortal Physiques at the end, did Chu Yuan really think he could manifest a dual Immortal Physique? Pure delusion!
“But this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill forged by the Supreme Lao Jun is really something.” Jiang Che pulled out an unremarkable, dull-yellow pill that looked utterly ordinary—not even a whiff of medicinal fragrance.
The kind of pill even a dog wouldn’t sniff if thrown on the ground. No one would guess this was a genuine immortal elixir!
“Let’s see how it tastes. Would eating this thing make me an immortal outright?” Without hesitation, Jiang Che popped the pill into his mouth.
Things stolen from others always tasted better, just like the Celestial Origin Immortal Pill he’d swiped from Chu Yuan earlier.
Mmm~ Tastes like chicken, crispy and crunchy!
Soon, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill took effect.
Several strands of immortal qi surged from his body, each so dense they were almost tangible, and Jiang Che could manipulate them freely.
This level of immortal spiritual energy was something even Jiang Che had never seen before!
[Innate Immortal Qi! Husband, you’ve cultivated immortal qi!!!]
Mo Lianxing, knowing Jiang Che had refined this qi after swallowing the pill, immediately explained.
[My lord, I’ve only heard of such immortal qi in ancient texts from the Chosen Ones’ Association. It’s incredibly difficult to cultivate—requiring both supreme talent and fortune. Anyone who refines it is destined to ascend to immortality.]
“Uh… I could become immortal even without immortal qi.” Jiang Che remained utterly unfazed.
[Well… my lord is right, but immortal qi also significantly boosts combat power. Once you reach the Martial God stage and begin refining your life-bound artifact, you can channel immortal qi into it, greatly raising its growth potential.]
“You think I need immortal artifacts?” Jiang Che tossed the gleaming Immortal-Binding Rope in his hand.
Mo Lianxing: “……”
She was crushed. If she could refine immortal qi, she’d be laughing in her dreams. Yet this heaven-defying treasure wasn’t even worth Jiang Che’s attention.
“This immortal qi…”
With a thought, two strands of immortal qi materialized. Though imbued with immortal spirituality, they moved like flexible tentacles, responding perfectly to Jiang Che’s control.
“Whatever, consider them two extra legs.”
Of course, the pill’s effects didn’t stop there. Jiang Che also sensed his Chaos Physique and Void Immortal Physique subtly merging.
“But Chu Yuan’s inner demon dream was kinda interesting,” Jiang Che mused to himself.
If he didn’t exist in this world, once the spiritual energy revival occurred… events would likely unfold exactly as in that dream.
After all, the Mortal Realm was hailed as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Realms. After spiritual energy revived, countless secret realms would emerge, and experts from the Nine Heavens’ myriad races would descend. How could the newly awakened local cultivators possibly resist them?
Being enslaved and oppressed would be inevitable.
Too bad for them—there was now a wildcard named Young Master Jiang!
Thanks to Jiang Che’s interference, the invading experts from the myriad races were instantly suppressed.
It was like how nomadic tribes suddenly became “peaceful and artistic” after encountering firearms.
If Jiang Che only had a dual Immortal Physique, even with the Jiang Clan backing him, he couldn’t have easily crushed so many experts.
Strength had to come from oneself. Right now, Jiang Che supposedly had over a hundred Martial God-stage guardians by his side!
Enough to intimidate most troublemakers.
But… it still wasn’t enough!
While the top-tier experts of the Nine Heavens still couldn’t descend, beings like Great Emperors—they’d definitely find a way to strike.
If they went all-out against him or targeted his loved ones…
He had to make them think twice!
……
Young Master Jiang was about to make another big move.
“Jiang Ruoxu!!!”
Jiang Che summoned his little bro without delay.
“Bro, what’s up?”
Jiang Ruoxu currently had a live-stream camera glued to his head 24/7.
“Turn that damn camera off!” Jiang Che’s face darkened. Was this guy addicted to streaming?
Just wait—you’ll have plenty to broadcast later!
"Hehe~" Jiang Ruoxu chuckled awkwardly before ending his livestream.
"Bro, my 'Show-Off System' is connected to the Jiutian Network. Right now, 99% of my viewers are from Jiutian, and the audience there is massive... A single livestream can earn me millions just from flexing!"
"Nowadays, I’m flexing whether I’m eating or sleeping. Who knows, maybe some girl will tune in and fall for my looks—accidentally showing off how handsome I am!"
The once resilient and determined young man had now been completely corrupted by Jiang Che’s Show-Off System.
From a fresh-faced rookie, he had turned into a seasoned smooth-talker, his grin even carrying a hint of sleaziness.
"Bro, I’m kinda successful now. Want anything? My system store has everything you can imagine!" Jiang Ruoxu patted his chest proudly.
He wasn’t an ungrateful person—despite Jiang Che’s sharp tongue, he had helped him time and again.
"Everything, huh? Got any Celestial Spirit Stones? Buy a few and let me see!"
"......"
In an instant, the little brother fell silent.
Ce... Celestial Spirit Stones?
Of course they existed, but in the system, they cost a whopping 1 billion show-off points!
With that many points, he’d rather save up tens of billions to buy a Divine Physique.
He’d been drooling over Jiang Che’s Chaos Divine Physique for ages.
But the staggering price tag of 5 billion show-off points always made him hesitate.
Still, the kid had ambition. Even if he couldn’t surpass Jiang Che... wasn’t it easy to outshine other geniuses?
"Hah... You love showing off, right? I’ve got a big job for you. Guaranteed to earn you tons of points!"
Jiang Ruoxu’s face lit up instantly. These days, just mentioning in his livestream that he was Jiang Che’s little brother would net him a flood of show-off points.
"Just say the word, bro! I’ll do it!"
"Simple. I’ve discovered tons of secret realms in the mortal world lately. One of them is especially terrifying—filled with powerful puppet guardians. Rumor has it that gaining the realm’s recognition grants control over them."
The master scammer—Jiang Che—was back in action!
