"Search then! Search! I will absolutely not admit to something I didn't do!"
Mo Lingxuan's eyes brimmed with tears of anger. Disregarding any demeanor of an Emperor, she was on the verge of crying from sheer frustration.
She hadn't made a move to destroy the Longevity Fruit Tree at all. Even if she were stupid, she wouldn't touch the fruit tree, okay? She had absolutely no reason to destroy it!!!
"Hmph," Jiang Che sneered. Then, the space in front of him rippled violently.
Immediately after, a petite figure appeared in his arms.
With pinkish-white hair, she curled up in Jiang Che's embrace. Her small face was deathly pale, looking as if her life was in critical danger. The girl was covered in wounds, but she was surrounded by dissipating longevity substances.
The appearance of Yaoyao made all the immortals stand up in unison!
An immortal medicine had gained sentience!
No, an immortal medicine that could condense longevity substances... could no longer be called an immortal medicine. It should be a Dao medicine, something that transcends immortal medicines!
A Dao medicine that no one had ever heard of, let alone seen!!!
The longevity substances lingering around the young girl left countless immortals mesmerized, wishing they could swallow Yaoyao whole in a single bite.
"Mas... Master, Yaoyao is in so much pain..." Yaoyao nestled in Jiang Che's arms and struggled to raise her small hand. Even her ahoge drooped limply without any strength.
Her immortal dao origin was even more shattered. All the immortals could feel that... this little girl seemed to be on the verge of death.
"Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable!!!" Suddenly, from an immortal boat on Mount Fuxi, an old man flew out explosively.
"You shameless demon, indulging your daughter without bounds! We have tolerated you for a long time! Now your daughter has committed a monstrous sin. Do you know what harsh conditions are required for a Dao medicine to grow!"
The old man was impressively an Immortal Venerable as well. He directly raised his hand and blasted an attack toward the Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable!
"Old friend Sword Venerable, I will help you vanquish this demon. Young Master Jiang, just watch as the two of us take down this demon for you!"
"Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable, pay for the lives of my three unborn children!!!" Above the vault of heaven, golden light dazzled as a terrifying pure-blooded Golden-Winged Roc revealed its true form. Its massive body blotted out the sun and sky, and a terrifying coercion spread out.
Immortal Venerable Dapeng had made his move. In the past, three of his immortal eggs were stolen and eaten by Mo Lingxuan, but he hadn't acted out of fear of the Demon Venerable's reputation. Now, blood must be paid with blood!
A battle at the Immortal Venerable level erupted!
On Mount Fuxi, tens of thousands of Great Emperors from all over the Nine Heavens were completely dumbfounded. Each of them trembled like a sieve in fear. However, there were also many fearless Great Emperors staring at the sky with burning gazes. A battle at the Immortal Venerable level... they might not get to see one in their entire lifetimes, let alone from such a close distance.
Even though they were Great Emperors, if an Immortal Venerable-level battle truly broke out in their respective domains on a normal day, these Great Emperors would be obliterated by the shockwaves before they even noticed anything.
The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable felt his scalp go numb. Three Immortal Venerables were actually attacking him simultaneously at this moment. Even with a Six-Tribulation Immortal Weapon, he couldn't possibly win. After all, anyone who could cultivate to the Immortal Venerable realm was a tough opponent.
"Xuan'er..." The Immortal-Refining Demon Venerable was extremely anxious, but he could only be forcibly dragged into the ancient sky battlefield by the three Immortal Venerables.
The Immortal Venerable battle completely broke out.
And it was a three-on-one, a gang-up!
"Fa... Father." Mo Lingxuan's face was already pale from fright. She never dreamed that such a situation would occur. This was truly bringing disaster upon her father.
"Young Master Jiang..." Mo Lingxuan turned her head stiffly to look at Jiang Che, the expression on her face frozen.
At this time, many Immortal Venerables from other factions hiding in the dark stepped forward one after another.
"Young Master Jiang! This poor monk holds the supreme treasure True Water of Buddhist Affinity. This item is the true water from the jade vase of Guanyin Bodhisattva during the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court. It can mend the immortal dao origin..." An old monk wearing a kasaya walked over with a smile, holding an alms bowl in his hands that emanated the dual qi of Yin and Yang.
The Immortal Venerable Ancient Buddha of the Western Buddhist Kingdom!
"Oh? Old bald... er, no, Holy Monk, you're too kind!" Jiang Che smiled and took the entire alms bowl from the old monk's hands.
"Young Master Jiang... one drop is enough!" Immortal Venerable Ancient Buddha widened his eyes. Why did he snatch the whole alms bowl away? This alms bowl was a Five-Tribulation Immortal Weapon, one of the supreme treasures of Buddhism.
"Alright, would a young master like me shortchange you?" Jiang Che waved his hand and pocketed the immortal weapon alms bowl.
He took out a drop of the True Water of Buddhist Affinity and fed it into Yaoyao's lips.
[Mas... Master, won't we be exposed like this?] Yaoyao muttered in her heart. She was, of course, faking it. After all, she had been acting from the very beginning.
[No, your disguise can't even be detected by an Immortal Emperor.]
Jiang Che stated. Yaoyao's tragic injuries were an illusion created by Jiang Che using the system's disguise technique. It was the highest-tier disguise technique in the system, even surpassing special effects.
However, after the immortal water entered Yaoyao's body, it seemed to disappear completely. Jiang Che frowned.
"It's useless!!! Which of you exalted immortals still has precious immortal water? Whoever can cure my beloved, I, Jiang, will definitely reward you heavily!"
"Young Master Jiang! I have an item... called the Supreme Divine Immortal Leaf Dew, but I'm not sure..."
"Hand it over... It's useless, it has no effect!"
"I have a handful of Myriad Spirit Soil here, known as... Hey, hey, hey, Young Master Jiang!"
[Beep! The host has scammed Azure Dragon Immortal Venerable, gaining 1 billion points.]
[Beep! The host has scammed Immortal Venerable Ancient Buddha, gaining 1.5 billion points.]
This felt amazing. Truth be told... scamming strangers came with no psychological burden. Having scammed the Jiang family so much... to be honest, Jiang Che was starting to feel a little embarrassed.
In the end, after fleecing the pockets of dozens of Immortal Venerables and Immortal Lords, Jiang Che directly hugged Yaoyao and burst into loud, sorrowful sobs.
"It's useless! It's useless! Nothing works!"
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao, wake up!"
[Mas... Master, aren't we going a bit too far?] Yaoyao asked with a guilty conscience. She had a low laughing point and was almost about to break character and laugh.
[What's this? This is your hubby's improvisation!]
Meanwhile, the little demoness Mo Lingxuan was completely dumbfounded. Looking at Jiang Che's appearance... she even somewhat doubted whether she had a split personality and had just awakened a dark persona to heavily injure this immortal tree.
But she really hadn't!!!
Yet she knew very well now that whether she was the one who injured Yaoyao or not no longer mattered. Any explanation would be pale and powerless.
She had never regretted anything as much as she did now. Her father was currently dragged into the heavenly battlefield by three Immortal Venerables, his life or death unknown, and she had truly made a massive mistake this time.
She shouldn't have entered the Realm-Breaking Immortal Boat, much less given in to greed to pluck that immortal peach. In the past, whenever she caused trouble, her father was always there to settle it, but now...
"Wuu wuu wuu..."
Mo Lingxuan curled up on the ground, buried her head between her legs, and cried helplessly.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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?!
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
