PS: Huh? I just realized this is chapter 888! To keep the auspicious number, I won't do a bonus release, hehe. Happy New Year!
Inside the Heavenly Dao Palace.
Tian Chan had temporarily returned to the sect's orthodoxy. Looking at the four massive characters for 'Heavenly Dao Palace' that loomed like the sun, moon, and mountains, her expression was complicated.
The words spoken by the immortals of the Jiang family echoed in her mind.
Jiang Che loved beauties, and they had asked her to pick a few from the Heavenly Dao Palace for him.
Their Heavenly Dao Palace was a prestigious and righteous sect. How could they act like a brothel and provide beauties for a man?
Even if she agreed, the proud daughters of heaven in the Heavenly Dao Palace wouldn't ag...
Just then, her sharp divine sense caught a conversation between several female outer disciples in the distance.
"Did you hear? Young Master Jiang's confidantes have all gone out to travel. Right now, he's severely lacking bedfellows. Isn't this a great opportunity?"
"Hehe, do you think such a good opportunity would fall to you? I heard... even the female immortal ancestor in my family who cultivates the Dao of Forgetting Emotions is planning to have a 'chance encounter' with Young Master Jiang..."
"It's no use. Have you seen the girls around Young Master Jiang? They are all beauties among beauties. Unless you're in the top few ranks of the Nine Heavens Beauty List, you have no chance. Young Master Jiang wouldn't even look twice at you..."
Tian Chan: "......"
It was normal for outer disciples to be a bit unruly, unlike the inner disciples of the Heavenly Dao Palace...
"Sister, I heard Young Master Jiang married the Five Elements Immortal Emperor's quintuplet daughters? As twins, aren't we at a bit of a disadvantage?"
A conversation between a pair of sisters drifted from the inner sect, "Shh... did you know? I secretly heard from my third concubine aunt's grand-uncle's niece that Young Master Jiang in that aspect..."
"Hiss... really? That's so scary, I think I'll pass. I'll just honestly cultivate and avoid that miserable life~"
"I think you're just too ugly, hehe!"
Tian Chan: "......"
These twins had innate mutant spirit roots and were taken in as inner disciples by a senior elder of the Heavenly Dao Palace. Their aptitude was considered outstanding within the sect, but they were actually even more vulgar than the outer disciples!
Their chat was completely unbearable to listen to!
"Hmph! It seems it's time for the outer and inner disciples of the Heavenly Dao Palace to undergo unified education, otherwise..."
Tian Chan snorted coldly and flicked her sleeves, turning to leave.
She arrived at the core area of the Heavenly Dao Palace, which was also the area for personal disciples. Every personal disciple of a Supreme Elder possessed an immortal spirit root or an immortal physique.
"Hmph! Isn't Jiang Che's standards a bit too high? I even transformed into a little mermaid and actively bit his fishing bait, but he still refused to take me in!!!"
A stunningly beautiful woman was throwing a tantrum in her cave dwelling. Her cultivation was actually at the Great Emperor realm!
Not long ago, she spent a hefty price to buy information that Young Master Jiang was fishing. She transformed into a mermaid and willingly took the bait... but Jiang Che didn't fancy her. She was the personal disciple of an Immortal Monarch!!!
Tian Chan: "......"
She wanted to curse out loud. How come the outer disciples, inner disciples, and even the personal disciples were all acting the exact same way?
What kind of bewitching potion had Jiang Che fed them?
Every single one of them was willing to cast aside their dignity just to crawl to his side?
Discipline! There must be discipline!
This crooked and evil trend absolutely could not be allowed to spread within the Heavenly Dao Palace, the number one righteous sect in the world.
Filled with anger, Tian Chan's divine sense swept over these cultivators. If their looks weren't up to par, Jiang Che definitely wouldn't want them. They had to at least be at the level of the Beauty List to qualify.
However, among the younger generation, there seemed to be few who could be called peerless beauties. As for the previous generation of geniuses, many of them were her junior sisters. Since they were all acquaintances, how could she even bring it up?
The most, most important thing was that her public identity was male. She was the former Holy Son and Eldest Senior Brother of the Heavenly Dao Palace!
Suddenly, a beautiful silhouette came to her mind, and she vanished from her spot.
...
Azure Peak.
A woman dressed in plain white robes was playing the zither, the melody slow and moving.
Right at that moment, the void trembled, and the figure of 'Tian Haoran' suddenly appeared.
The woman's zither music trembled slightly as she slowly raised her eyes. "Brother Haoran!"
Tian Chan looked at the woman before her, her feelings incredibly complex.
This was her junior sister, who possessed a supreme-grade immortal spirit root. She was a top-tier genius who had already shown her brilliance two eras ago. As the former Second Senior Sister of the Heavenly Dao Palace, she was nominally her junior sister.
Yun Ya!
Currently, her cultivation had already reached the Three Tribulations Immortal Lord realm.
An Eldest Senior Brother and a Second Senior Sister. As everyone knew... generally in a sect, the Second Senior Sister would always fall in love with the Eldest Senior Brother.
Such a melodramatic trope had actually happened to her!!!
Junior Sister Yun Ya had fallen in love with her, and had even publicly and highly openly confessed her love...
Within the entire Heavenly Dao Palace, less than five people knew she was actually a woman, so she naturally couldn't tell Junior Sister Yun Ya...
She didn't even love the real Tian Haoran. Before she had taken her brother's place... Yun Ya had treated Tian Haoran with mutual respect. But after she took over her brother's position... Yun Ya started confessing her love like crazy.
The crux of the matter was... her true body was also a woman!
Two women were destined to have no result.
"Senior Brother! You're here..."
Yun Ya slowly stood up, her gaze toward Tian Chan carrying a special kind of tenderness. That kind of emotion made Tian Chan panic internally. "I... I..."
"Senior Brother Haoran, are you troubled by something? You can confide in Yun'er." Yun Ya walked gracefully to Tian Chan's side, her delicate hand lightly resting on her shoulder.
"No... nothing!" Tian Chan subconsciously took a step back.
"It's because of the matters at the frontlines, right?" Yun Ya's voice was extremely soft. "Senior Brother, these are my savings. I've exchanged them all for immortal-grade spirit stones. There are exactly five hundred and twenty of them."
A purse-shaped storage bag was handed over to Tian Chan. There were exactly 520 spirit stones, no more, no less.
"I can't accept this!" Tian Chan stepped back a few paces. "I've already opened the Heavenly Court's secret treasury. The spirit stones inside are enough to pay for the longevity pills..."
Yun Ya's gaze lowered slightly. "Oh..."
"Senior Brother, since that's the case... I also want to go to the borderlands to participate in the war against evil."
"That's even more out of the question! It's too dangerous there, and you're only at the Three Tribulations realm..."
At this moment, Tian Chan completely didn't dare to speak of her purpose for coming here, because with Yun Ya's personality... she would absolutely sacrifice herself unconditionally. She had already delayed this woman for tens of thousands of years, so naturally, she couldn't push her into a fire pit now.
Saying this, she hurriedly left.
Leaving Yun Ya standing alone at the peak of Azure Peak. The cold, solemn wind blew her robes, making them flutter crisply. Inadvertently... a single tear rolled down the corner of the woman's eye.
"You could never fool me..."
The woman muttered to herself, her eyes filled with sorrow. "To think that a majestic Dao-merging Immortal Venerable would actually have something they can't resolve... Is it that Young Master Jiang?"
"Yun'er will always stand by your side..."
A trace of absolute determination flashed in Yun Ya's eyes.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

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?!
