A ray of sword light!
As if slashing down from the boundless horizon, the terrifying sword light even tore through the space of hundreds of state domains.
Truly, one sword's light chilled three thousand states!
The sword light instantly slashed right in front of the Qingqiu Immortal Lord.
"!!!"
Bai Pu was completely stunned, but then a terrifying sense of suffocation swept over him like an overwhelming tide. Under this sword light, all Daoist techniques were frozen, and even the immortal energy within his body stopped flowing.
"This—"
He had barely opened his mouth when the sword light completely obliterated him!
His body of a Third Tribulation Immortal, comparable to an immortal artifact, instantly disintegrated into countless specks of dust.
"My fox fur coat!!!" Jiang Che cried out in agony.
[Beep! The host has scammed a true life from 'Emperor Qingqiu', earning 1.5 billion points.]
Not bad, not bad. This old geezer finally made up for the 1.5 billion points his daughter owed me.
Jiang Che then shifted his gaze toward the direction from which the sword light had been swung.
This didn't look like the Daoist technique of his cheap master. The sword qi contained an incredibly pure law of the Sword Dao, without a single trace of demonic aura.
But it didn't matter. Either way, this let Jiang Che know one thing: he really did have a cheap thug at his disposal!
And a badass one at that!
This would save him a lot of points.
[Beep! The host has scammed the Taiqing Sword Immortal, earning 2 billion points.]
"???"
Taiqing Sword Immortal? Another supreme Immortal Emperor with an immortal title?
Not bad at all. Judging by the name, this Taiqing Sword Immortal was definitely a female cultivator. She was probably a bestie of that Immortal Fengmo, right?
Meanwhile!
Beyond the Heaven Beyond Heavens.
"A... Achoo!" Chen Taiqing suddenly sneezed. "Damn it, I've had enough! Everyone treats me like a tool! I'm a freaking blind man... Zero respect for the disabled!"
At the thought of having to spare extra immortal energy to maintain the boundary barriers of five heavenly domains, he wanted to curse everyone's mothers.
But his own mother had been dead for who knew how long.
But then, Chen Taiqing shivered all over. "Fuck! What else was just fleeced off of me?"
Clearly, this supreme Immortal Emperor, who had fused with the origin of the Sword Dao, vaguely realized that he had been reduced to a literal beast of burden.
...
Creak, creak...
In the Land of Origin of the Qingqiu Immortal Kingdom!
A stone fox statue suddenly awakened, gradually becoming lifelike.
Then, the stone fox statue instantly transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man. It was none other than the old geezer, Bai Pu!
His pupils were filled with unparalleled terror. Even after losing a true life, he still felt boundless fear.
"What... what kind of existence was that? Destroying one of my true lives with a single sword strike? Not even the clan's protective grand array could stop it? An Immortal Venerable? Could it really be an Immortal Emperor?"
"Master... Could it be Jiang Che's master? His master is an Immortal Emperor?"
At this thought, Bai Pu's heart sank and turned completely cold.
He wasn't bluffing? He really has an Immortal Emperor for a master???
"It's over, it's over. Making an enemy of an Immortal Emperor... There will no longer be a place for me within the Nine Heavens!" He was genuinely terrified!
There were only a handful of living Immortal Emperors in the Nine Heavens, and he had stupidly provoked one of them.
"Ah!" Bai Pu slapped his thigh hard. "How could I be so stupid? That Jiang Che possesses five great immortal physiques; of course he would be taken in as a disciple by an Immortal Emperor..."
His face was full of remorse.
But there was no time for remorse now. He was completely doomed, and he might even drag the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan down to ruin with him.
"No! There's still a glimmer of hope!"
"Xian'er... That Jiang Che took a liking to Xian'er. He... he... for Xian'er's sake, he shouldn't destroy my Qingqiu Clan, right?"
But he didn't dare to show his face now, because the moment he did, he'd be instantly killed!
He had already lost a true life and was now reduced to a Second Tribulation Immortal. He even lost one of his immortal fox tails!
As he spoke, Bai Pu looked at his fox tails. "No! My love!"
With a tragic scream, he realized that the severed fox tail was exactly the one sacrificed to him by his beloved late wife!
Because of this single fox tail, he had broken through his bloodline shackles to advance to six tails, but now... everything was ruined!
When his beloved wife sacrificed herself, he agonizingly lost her. Today, he agonizingly lost his late wife again!
...
"Old geezer, I'll take one of your true lives first as a warning. Next time, I'll skin your damn fox fur to make a coat."
Jiang Che spoke in a flat tone.
Who knew how much time had passed, but it wasn't until the sword light dissipated that the people of the Fox Clan dared to approach.
"Young... Young Master?"
An elderly man came over, bold and unafraid of death.
"Hmm?" Jiang Che glanced sideways, a teasing smile playing on his lips. This old man had been peeping all along earlier.
The old man shuddered in fright.
He was an ancient immortal of the Qingqiu Immortal Clan. He had been slumbering all this time and suddenly woke up a couple of days ago. He was just about to come out and stretch his legs when he happened to witness the scene just now. It almost scared him into passing away on the spot!
Damn it! That idiot Bai Pu actually brought a supreme Immortal Emperor as an enemy to the Qingqiu Immortal Clan?
"Young Master? This old man has been watching the whole time. Our Qingqiu Fox Clan was indeed in the wrong regarding this matter!" The old man had a fawning expression on his face.
"Oh? Then why didn't you stop him earlier? If I'm not mistaken... you should be at the Fourth Tribulation cultivation level, right?" Jiang Che smiled.
But an old fox was an old fox after all. He revealed a troubled look. "Young Master, this old man just woke up, and my lifespan has already hit rock bottom. If I were to make a move, I probably wouldn't live much longer..."
As he spoke, immortals of the Qingqiu Clan arrived one after another.
"Immortal Ancestor!! Why have you come out?"
"We beg Young Master Jiang to forgive our Qingqiu Fox Clan! We have always been extremely respectful toward you. Everything was Bai Pu acting on his own!"
They couldn't care less about the Immortal Ancestor right now. It was better to beg Young Master Jiang for mercy first. Otherwise, if this great deity got angry, no Immortal Ancestor could save them.
Looking at the increasing number of Qingqiu Fox Clan members gathering around, Jiang Che coldly snorted.
"Master..."
"No, no, no!!!" The old fox actually dropped straight to his knees in front of Jiang Che!
This action completely shocked the surrounding fox immortals. Even the Ancestor had knelt... If they didn't kneel, were they waiting to die?
Between their heads and their dignity, one had to go, right?
"This trip to the Qingqiu Clan has left me very displeased."
"Rest assured, Young Master!" The Red Fox Ancestor, Bai Yanlang, raised a hand. "I will immediately summon Xian'er back! And I will issue the Qingqiu Decree to arrest Bai Pu!"
Jiang Che didn't say much. "Figure it out yourselves."
With that, he turned and left.
Leaving only the higher-ups of the Qingqiu Clan staring at each other in dismay.
"What are you all still looking at? Hurry up and take action!" Bai Yanlang immediately started giving orders. "Summon Bai Qingxian back! And immediately gather the Top Ten Beauties of our Qingqiu Clan. We absolutely must serve this ancestor well!"
"Immortal Ancestor, what about the Emperor? Are we really going to arrest him? But he used to have a Third Tribulation cultivation..."
Bai Yanlang glared at him. Was he an idiot? Wouldn't it be fine as long as they coaxed that young master well? Even if Bai Pu lost a true life, he was still the top combat power of their Qingqiu Clan!
...
Meanwhile.
"Master, Master! Would you like some candied hawthorns? Who would have thought the mortal realm had such a delicacy?"
A young girl with white fox ears approached a woman wearing a purple veil, holding a stick of candied hawthorns.
"Xian'er! Something has happened in the Immortal Kingdom," Immortal Lord White Fox said gravely.
"Ah?"
The stick of candied hawthorns in Bai Qingxian's hand dropped to the ground.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

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?!
