Chu Yuan's mood was extremely complex.
Looking at the immortal-grade spirit stones scattered everywhere in the Jade Pool Wonderland before him, his heart was bleeding.
This was thousands of immortal-grade spirit stones. Let alone a mere Quasi-Emperor like him, even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to stay calm!
Furthermore, these were all rewards he had painstakingly earned by fighting his way through the secret realm's trials. Inside the Heavenly Court Secret Realm... the difficulty of the Creation Realm and Quasi-Emperor Realm stages skyrocketed exponentially.
Even though he possessed the Chaos Immortal Body, facing the terrifying Heavenly Court Secret Realm was still a near-death experience.
He could imagine that once he advanced to the Great Emperor realm, there would be the Three Tribulations of the Great Emperor and the Six Palaces of Immortals waiting in the secret realm. These were all lethal trials!
The reason the Heavenly Court Token set the secret realm's difficulty so high was that this realm was originally established to test and select the future Lord of the Heavenly Court. Once fully cleared, the challenger would receive the blessing of the Ancient Heavenly Court's providence.
"Little Chu, you've done quite well. I don't have much to give you, so I might as well help you unlock a bit of your system's authority."
Jiang Che chuckled. This Chu Yuan was a bit too loyal, so loyal that he almost felt bad for scamming him.
"Unlock system authority?" Chu Yuan instantly became excited!
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Che yawned, then went to his main system and increased the weighting of the system shop in Chu Yuan's 'Stubborn Fool System' by one tier.
In Jiang Che's system, all sub-systems were divided by weight!
The main system had the highest weight, followed by the family edition shared system. Members of the family system shared all the points and treasures in Jiang Che's system shop.
After that were the sub-systems with level-two weight. While some crucial supreme-grade items were locked, over 95% of the rare items were unlocked. For example, his little bro Jiang Ruoxu's Show-Off System had a level-two weight.
As for the level-three sub-systems, the items inside were also of a very high tier, roughly comparable to a Heavenly Dao-level system. Currently, Chu Yuan's system had a level-three weight.
But now it had been upgraded to level two!
Many rare items were unlocked in the system shop.
"This—" Chu Yuan's eyes widened!
What was going on???
Even Immortal Bodies could be purchased?!!!
He was completely dumbfounded. He felt as if his entire worldview had suffered a massive shock.
No wonder!
No wonder Mr. Jiang possessed five great Immortal Bodies. Looking at it this way... this made perfect sense.
But... this was too heaven-defying, wasn't it?
If even Immortal Bodies could be bought, was there anything in this world that couldn't be purchased in the system shop? What about immortal medicines...
However, in the row right below the Immortal Bodies... over a dozen immortal medicines were prominently displayed on the shelves.
The shock in Chu Yuan's heart was beyond words. Moreover, he knew that... this was only the authority Mr. Jiang had upgraded for him, which meant that his own system was definitely even more terrifying!!!
Instantly, his mind felt balanced.
"Alright, you can exchange for the items in there as you please, as long as you have enough points."
At the same time, Jiang Che glanced at Chu Yuan's system points. With his two systems combined, this guy had a staggering 13 billion points. Good heavens... this guy was simply too hardworking.
"Then this Life-Extending Immortal Pill... can I exchange for it too?" Chu Yuan glanced at the Life-Extending Pill that had just been unlocked on the system shelf.
[Top-Grade Life-Extending Pill: One pill can increase lifespan by ten thousand years (Purchase limit: 15 pills), Price: 2 billion points]
Even though there was a purchase limit, this was a top-grade Life-Extending Pill. Even if he didn't need to eat it himself... he could totally use the name of the Life-Extending Pill to bluff others. Wouldn't it be a breeze to find an Immortal-level Dao Protector then?
As a Master of Destiny, he had quite a few enemies.
As for whether the Life-Extending Pill would be coveted by others? That was even more impossible.
Because the Life-Extending Pill had Mr. Jiang's label stuck on it.
"Do as you please... just don't interfere with my business."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!!!" But suddenly, Chu Yuan seemed to remember something important.
"Mr. Jiang, I suggest you take the Heavenly Court Token."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. Was this kid trying to get him to clear the secret realm trials?
Secret realms? He, Mr. Jiang, wouldn't bother clearing them at all. Once upon a time... the first secret realm he encountered was blown open with explosives for his subordinates to explore, let alone this Heavenly Court Secret Realm.
Although this Heavenly Court Secret Realm definitely couldn't cause any harm to Jiang Che, he was too lazy to go in. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time flirting with girls?
"Mr. Jiang! That's not what I meant!"
Chu Yuan hurriedly explained, "Mr. Jiang, this Heavenly Court Secret Realm involves the providence of the Heavenly Dao. After clearing it, one will be blessed with Heavenly Dao providence. As far as I know... this Heavenly Court providence is the most precious of all the rewards, and it has no physical form... If I completely clear it, all the Heavenly Dao providence will belong to me..."
"Oh... that's simple. After you finish clearing the secret realm later, just call for me in the system at the final moment. I'll just come over and inherit the Heavenly Court providence, won't I?"
[Beep! The host has scammed Chu Yuan, gaining 1 billion points.]
Chu Yuan was completely numb. Bro, you really aren't willing to endure even a little bit of hardship!
What was this like? It was like chatting up a goddess online with great effort, only to hand her over to a good bro when it was time to have fun at a hotel during the first real-life meetup.
"Mr. Jiang... when I was braving the Quasi-Emperor tribulation in the Heavenly Court Secret Realm, I faintly saw a crystal coffin wrapped in a Chaos Green Lotus above the Ninety-Ninth Heaven!"
"Inside the crystal immortal coffin, there seemed to be a fairy lying there. What do you think..."
Chu Yuan revealed the secret.
"Oh? A crystal immortal coffin? With a fairy lying inside?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. Now this was exactly to his taste!
In fact, for the current Jiang Che, none of the precious treasures of the Ancient Heavenly Court held any attraction anymore.
Jiang Che's current wealth could absolutely be called the number one tycoon in the Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms!
An immortal from the Jiang family had once specifically calculated it for him: if all the resources in his hands were converted into immortal-grade spirit stones, it would be an astronomical figure, starting at a minimum of five hundred thousand immortal-grade spirit stones!
"Yes, yes, yes, it's a fairy. I didn't dare to look closely... but she is definitely a peerless beauty."
"Mr. Jiang, according to my humble guess, this is highly likely the only surviving descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Court, and her status is absolutely incomparably noble..."
Chu Yuan's eyes lit up. He had originally thought that Mr. Jiang's bad reputation for being greedy and lustful was just a disguise. After all, many prodigies in the Nine Heavens liked to deliberately expose some flaws to show that no one was perfect.
But looking at it now... Jiang Che was truly lustful!
A true pervert didn't need to pretend; a casual display of true feelings was a realm that those fakers could never reach in their entire lives.
"Give me the token. You can't grasp this kind of opportunity for the time being. My cultivation realm is high, I can handle it!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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?!
