The system's item cards come in many types: Common, Fine, Excellent, Epic, Legendary, and Supreme!
Jiang Che had exchanged for Common item cards years ago. They were similar to Misfortune Cards; after use, they would cause a string of bad luck for the target. However, the effect of such Common-level cards was very weak, becoming ineffective against even slightly stronger martial artists.
But if it were a Fine-level Misfortune Card, it could affect martial artists and even low-level cultivators. For example, using a Misfortune Card on a cultivator at the Sky-breaking stage might cause them to fall and injure themselves while sword-riding.
Like Jiang Che's 'Phoenix's Protection' from before, that was also an item card, but it was a level-less card, not categorized by any rank... It could resurrect him if killed by an ordinary person, and it could also resurrect him if killed by an immortal.
Of course, there were also offensive item cards. High-level item cards could even kill immortals.
As for Supreme-level item cards, most were conceptual-level cards. Their price... was exceptionally steep, often costing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of points.
However, after trying one... Jiang Che found it truly effective!
Conceptual-level item cards worked on immortals! He just didn't know if they were effective against those transcendent Six-Calamity Immortal Emperors. The thought made Jiang Che's heart itch with curiosity.
...
"Boom—"
"Ahhh!!!" A piercing shriek echoed throughout the mortal realm!
The Ghost-Faced Evil God Mother went berserk, crashing around wildly. Its enormous ghostly face became twisted and horrifying, with two ghostly eyes oozing blackish-red tears of blood...
"What a pity you don't have hands, otherwise you could rub them."
Jiang Che sent a mental message to the frenzied Ghost-Faced Evil God.
[Ding! Host has scammed the Ghost-Faced Evil God Mother, obtaining 200 million points.]
Another huge windfall!
Who needs a Villain System anymore? Wouldn't it be much better to just switch to a Scam Artist System?
"I'm truly a genius. A Scam Artist System suits me best," Jiang Che grinned widely.
For Jiang Che, showing off and slapping faces in revenge required some thought, but scamming people? That was just a matter of doing something effortlessly - a piece of cake.
...
"Holy crap! What's going on? How did this monster—"
Jiang Ruoxu stared dumbfounded at the sky beyond, watching the Ghost-Faced Evil God Mother in its frenzied state. It seemed like someone had stabbed its eyes? Both eye sockets were bleeding.
[Wait, could it be?]
Jiang Ruoxu instantly thought of Jiang Che. The only person who could do something like this seemed to be Jiang Che.
"Holy crap, bro, you are seriously... such a reassuring presence!"
Jiang Ruoxu's heart instantly felt ten thousand times more at ease. That was an immortal-level evil demon... and his own brother actually made its eyes bleed? How incredibly badass is that?
This feeling of having a powerful backer made him ecstatic. He only knew before that Jiang Che's system was high-level, but he never imagined it was this awesome!!!
A Martial God stage cultivator can slap an immortal-level being? Absolutely invincible!
"As the saying goes, when one man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. I guess I'm rising along with him!"
Jiang Ruoxu curved his lips into a smile, his previously bent back gradually straightening.
The Evil God Mother's sudden frenzy left many spectators bewildered; they didn't even understand what had happened. But some of the observing Great Emperors fell into silence.
An existence like the Evil God Mother could instantly corrupt the minds of even Great Emperors upon encounter, plunging them into utter darkness. Yet today... it was inexplicably injured?
The Evil God Mother's appearance clearly indicated it had been injured in the eyes, leading to its furious madness and eventual retreat in disgrace.
But why exactly did this happen?
......
Within the Jiang Clan of the Nine Heavens.
"You... all of you, stand down. There's no need to descend to the lower realm anymore!"
On the teleportation altar, an old man waved his hand dismissively.
Several hundred Jiang Clan disciples at the Martial God stage stood on the altar. They were originally dispatched to the lower realm to assist Jiang Che in resisting the evil spirit legion, but now it seemed... it was no longer necessary.
"It seems that one has made a move," the white-haired old man muttered to himself.
"But that doesn't make sense. Why would she intervene? She cultivates the Path of Forgetfulness. Logically, she shouldn't be swayed by any emotions..."
The Fourth Ancestor kept scratching his scalp, feeling as if his brain was about to grow from the confusion.
Jiang Che's master was undoubtedly the Supreme Forgetfulness Immortal. There were some doubts before, but now it was confirmed... To unleash immortal-level destructive power in the lower realm and repel the Evil God Mother, only a transcendent-level immortal could do it.
But precisely because of this... he was utterly perplexed. That Forgetfulness Immortal was aloof from the world. He had personally witnessed how ruthless and emotionless she was. To perfect her Great Dao of Forgetfulness, she incarnated into the mortal dust, reincarnating tens of thousands of times, each time walking the path of severing all affection and righteousness.
What familial love, friendship, or romantic love? For her, none of it existed!
It was even more impossible for her to take a disciple!
Unless... she had an ulterior motive?
Could it be that Jiang Che was a pawn in her scheme? A piece to perfect her Dao of Heartlessness?
Many who cultivate heartless paths resort to acts like killing their husband, wife, or entire family to prove their Dao... Perhaps that Forgetfulness Immortal is planning to kill her disciple to prove her Dao?
It must be said, the Fourth Ancestor's imagination was indeed quite vivid.
"Old Fourth... are you sure?" Another immortal frowned as he walked over.
"I don't know. But that one has merged with the Dao of Forgetfulness... It's absolutely impossible for her to harbor any emotions or desires. Her approach to Jiang Che definitely has a purpose."
"Should we... recall the Patriarch? Only that Patriarch can counter an Immortal Emperor!"
The Third Ancestor also approached at this moment. His lifespan was vast, and he knew many of the Jiang Clan's secrets.
He was the Third Ancestor. Above him were two others!
One had disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the other had passed away and perished.
Although the Second Ancestor had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years, they believed he was definitely still alive because he had merged with the Great Dao, sharing the lifespan of heaven!
"No need to recall the Patriarch for now. For now, that one is Jiang Che's protective talisman. With her by Jiang Che's side... the alien evil spirits cannot invade the mortal realm."
There's no stronger bodyguard than a Six-Calamity transcendent-level Immortal Emperor!
Not to mention a mere Ghost-Faced Evil God Mother; even if it were the source of the strange/unfathomable evil, she could lead Jiang Che through it... as if entering an unpopulated land.
"Oh, right, Old Seventh, is what you said last time still valid?" Suddenly, the Fourth Ancestor's gaze turned to a white-haired immortal nearby.
The Seventh Ancestor was puzzled, "What's still valid?"
"Yue Ye. The marriage arrangement you mentioned last time, is it still valid?" The Fourth Ancestor asked with a smile.
"Ye... Yer? I just said it casually at the time..."
The white-haired immortal scratched his head. Back when the group of immortals went to the Lunar Ice Palace to discuss a marriage arrangement for Jiang Che... he was in high spirits and casually mentioned betrothing his daughter to Jiang Che as well.
But he swore, he really just said it casually back then!
After all, he was an immortal ancestor. His daughter had been secluded for a hundred thousand years before emerging into the world. If Jiang Che married his daughter, wouldn't his own seniority skyrocket?
Eve... Even in terms of seniority, several of the immortals after the Tenth Ancestor would have to call him 'ancestor' then.
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! 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!
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?!
