"Jiang Che!" Long Qianqiu called out to stop him.
"What is it? Missing your husband again?" Jiang Che gave a roguish smile.
Long Qianqiu ignored his flirtatious tone. Although she didn't harbor much affection for Jiang Che, she had to admit... he possessed certain innate advantages and... specialties in some areas.
After all, he was the Haotian Celestial Physique.
"The Nine Heavens Dragon Palace is summoning me back!" Long Qianqiu said softly.
"Are you planning to go?" Jiang Che asked.
Long Qianqiu pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I must return."
Jiang Che laughed. "With your current level of ability? Can you get your revenge? How about you call out 'I love you, husband' and I'll vent your anger for you! I guarantee not a single dragon tendon will be left in the entire dragon race."
The young woman gave Jiang Che a helpless look. "You've been eavesdropping on my thoughts again."
"Aiya, it's only human nature! Who wouldn't want to listen in on someone's little secrets?" Jiang Che chuckled.
"I don't need you to do it. I want to do it myself!"
"Fine. Tell me what you want? I'll provide everything. If you want a big stick, you get a big stick; if you want an axe, you get an axe. I'll even gather guns, cannons, and ammunition for you!"
Jiang Che's manner finally caused a slight thaw in the dragon maiden's perpetually frosty expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? Big sticks, axes, guns, and cannons..."
"Tsk, rejected!" Jiang Che pouted.
He wasn't actually lying. The As-You-Will Gold-Banded Staff was also a stick, and the Chaos World-Cleaving Axe was also an axe, okay?
"Jiang Che, I've already fallen out with the Dragon Palace. It's either the dragon race settling accounts with me, or me settling accounts with the entire dragon race. I know you are very capable... but the trouble with the dragon race is my matter alone."
"And I didn't say I'm going back now. I'm not that kind of impulsive person."
Long Qianqiu's gaze turned towards the distance.
"You really scared me. I thought my newly-wedded wife was running away. Wouldn't my bride price have been paid in vain then?"
Long Qianqiu was utterly and completely exasperated.
......
After leaving Long Qianqiu, Jiang Che returned to his exhausting days, as he couldn't favor one over the others.
Fortunately, the Haotian Celestial Physique was powerful enough; otherwise, anyone else would have been drained dry long ago.
One month later, the long-exhausted Young Master Jiang emerged from his seclusion.
His cultivation had already broken through to the Nirvana stage!
His current strength could easily rank him first on the Prodigy Leaderboard, though Jiang Che held the Prodigy Leaderboard in complete contempt.
"Hey, hey, Supreme Dao Origin, are you there? Come out and say something!"
During his leisure time, Jiang Che finally remembered he still had a Great Dao Origin on him.
The Supreme Dao Origin was currently hidden in a corner of his dantian, showing no trace of its presence. No one could tell this was actually a Supreme Dao Origin ranked among the top thirty of the three thousand Great Daos.
However, the Dao Origin didn't seem interested in his call and didn't budge.
"Heh—"
Jiang Che laughed, then took out a violet-gold colored item card from his system warehouse!
[One-Hit Kill Item Card (Conceptual Tier): Can kill an enemy ignoring cultivation level. For enemies above the Immortal Realm, can kill one of their True Lives.]
[Price: 500 million points.]
A violet-gold item card. Aren't you tempted?
Sure enough, as soon as this item card appeared, the previously indifferent Supreme Dao Origin immediately floated over, circling around the card on Jiang Che's fingertip, clearly very interested in it.
But the next second, Jiang Che clenched the card in his hand.
And the Great Dao Origin actually passed through Jiang Che's body, through his palm, seemingly wanting to merge with the item card.
On a sudden whimsical thought, Jiang Che broke off a tiny corner of the card and offered it to the Dao Origin. What happened next was astonishing!
The Supreme Dao Origin actually absorbed that tiny fragment!
Then it bounced up and down a couple of times on the spot, its round shape looking exactly like a slime.
Then it started circling Jiang Che again, waiting to be fed.
???
Seriously, what the hell? This item card can be used to feed a Great Dao Origin?
"Great Dao Origin, you should be able to understand me, right? Choose to submit to me, and I'll feed you fragments like this every day, how about that?"
However, the Dao Origin was clearly too simple-minded to understand Jiang Che's words. It still circled the item card. Jiang Che could faintly sense a slight pulling force, as if the Dao Origin wanted to suck the entire card into itself, yet it also seemed filled with a sense of fear towards the card.
It didn't dare to seize it by force, and could only hope for Jiang Che to feed it.
[Ding ding ding! Item card damaged! Power reduced by 5%! Ding ding ding ding!]
Jiang Che didn't care and continued to break off another tiny fragment, offering it.
At the same time, he fully opened his mental domain!
After feeding it a few times, Jiang Che understood: this Dao Origin actually had no intelligence of its own; it only had its own perceptions...
And Jiang Che now looked exactly like a creepy uncle luring a little girl with a lollipop!
Step by step, he was luring it to his side.
The Supreme Dao Origin had even entered Jiang Che's mental world.
And the item card in Jiang Che's hand had now completely dissipated!
[Ding! Item card completely destroyed!]
With the temptation of the item card gone, the Supreme Dao Origin prepared to leave.
But the next second, another violet-gold item card appeared in Jiang Che's hand, capturing its attention again.
Back and forth like this, the Dao Origin seemed to realize Jiang Che's intention and began actively merging into Jiang Che's mental world!
"Tsk tsk, hooked!"
A sly smile appeared on Jiang Che's lips.
He had integrated a Great Dao Origin using just a few billion points!
The moment the Dao Origin merged into his mental domain, Jiang Che's entire being felt immensely clearer!
The Supreme Dao!
Ranked 23rd among the three thousand Great Daos!
For cultivators, upon reaching the Martial God stage, one can comprehend one's own Dao, thereby condensing Dao Laws!
Take the most commonly cultivated 'Sword Dao' in the Nine Heavens as an example.
In the early stages, one practices swordsmanship in various ways, condensing things like Sword Heart, Sword Bone, Sword Soul, Sword Spirit, etc. Then, starting from the Martial God stage, one attempts to condense Sword Dao Laws!
Comprehending three thousand six hundred Sword Dao Laws allows them to fuse into one 'Dao Path'. Condensing one Dao Path allows one to step into the Creation Realm. To prove oneself as a Great Emperor requires ninety-six thousand Dao Paths!
Ninety-six thousand Dao Paths coalesce into one 'Dao Fruit'. Only when the Dao Fruit is complete can one comprehend the complete Great Dao.
Like a set of nesting dolls, finally comprehending the complete 'Sword Dao' grants one the opportunity to directly face a Great Dao Origin!
Except Jiang Che had now skipped all those tedious and convoluted steps, directly gaining the recognition of a Dao Origin.
Laws!
Dao Paths!
Dao Fruit!
None were needed. He had arrived directly in one step!
It was like avoiding hundreds of thousands of years of detours.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
