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.

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!

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.”
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
