The Spirit of the Secret Realm was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of bizarre statement was this?
Had it been anyone else, it would have mercilessly stripped Jiang Che of his right to enter the secret realm and expelled him without hesitation!
But it did not dare!
Leaving aside the fact that he possessed five great immortal physiques and even a Dao bone—a terrifying level of talent unheard of even in the Ancient Heavenly Court during the peak of the immortal era.
Just that face alone was enough to make it tremble in fear.
Familiar, it was far too familiar a face, enough to fill it with terror.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question! Are there any girls in this Ancient Heavenly Court secret realm of yours? I heard that above the ninety-ninth heaven, there is a fairy sealed in an ice coffin... Is this true?"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm glanced at Jiang Che, then made a judgment in its heart.
The person in front of it absolutely could not be related to that Demon Ancestor. Even though their appearances were incredibly similar, the Demon Ancestor was calm and steady. He would never be like this man in front of it... talking about women every time he opened his mouth.
The Demon Ancestor was such a stunningly brilliant figure; wasn't it perfectly normal for a similar flower to bloom in the long river of history?
But even so, it didn't want to let Jiang Che go!
Because this person's talent was simply too terrifying! He was much stronger than that bullshit Chu Yuan it had recruited earlier.
Although Chu Yuan possessed the Chaos Immortal Physique—a physique rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years—it couldn't compare to Jiang Che, who was even more heaven-defying.
Comparing people only brings despair; comparing goods only makes you want to throw the lesser one away!
"Challenger, what do you mean by this?"
"I already told you, I came here for the girls. If there are no girls in your trial secret realm... do you think I have nothing better to do than come here?" Jiang Che grew a bit impatient.
"Let me remind you, I am an immortal species. If there are no girls in this secret realm of yours, I will throw this Heavenly Court token straight into my outhouse. I'll make sure your Ancient Heavenly Court can't find an heir for a million, no, ten million years, letting it be completely annihilated in the river of history."
Trial Spirit: "......"
It felt the urge to curse. It was merely an artifact spirit refined by the Heavenly Emperor, surviving for over a million years under the protection of the Heavenly Court's destiny. Its sole purpose was to wait for a suitable challenger to appear, help him achieve the position of Heavenly Emperor, and recreate the glory of the Heavenly Court.
To put it bluntly, it was just a lowly worker. If there really were no women in this secret realm, would it have to turn into a woman itself?
"Challenger, I know you are very confident, but do you know how many treasures will be revealed when my Ancient Heavenly Court secret realm is fully opened?"
"Cut the damn crap! If you keep blabbering, I'll destroy you right now, believe it or not?" Jiang Che revealed his aura. The outline of the Supreme Dao Source within his body manifested, and supreme power filled the air.
He held a Fatal Strike Card in his hand. Although he didn't know if the Fatal Strike Card would work on this guy, if this Spirit of the Secret Realm said one more word of nonsense, he would slap it right onto its forehead.
"You, you, you—"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm was utterly shocked.
What the hell was this situation???
If it hadn't sensed incorrectly, that should be the Supreme Great Dao Source, right???
But how was this possible? Wasn't the Supreme Great Dao Source in the hands of the True Dragon Immortal Emperor? The True Dragon Immortal Emperor was defeated by the Heavenly Emperor with a single sword strike back then, and the Supreme Dao Source had disappeared along with him.
What was even more outrageous was, how could the Great Dao Source acknowledge an Emperor as its master... Uh, wait, this wasn't an ordinary young Emperor. This was someone with five immortal physiques, so it didn't seem entirely out of place.
Of course, what terrified it the most was actually the object in his hand, which surprisingly gave it a fatal sense of threat.
This thing could kill it!!!
It was the guardian spirit of the Heavenly Court secret realm, blessed by the Heavenly Emperor's destiny. It had remained immortal for a million years, and not even time could obliterate it.
But its intuition was never wrong!
In an instant, it lost all its pride.
"Hehe, challenger..." The Spirit of the Secret Realm transformed into a little flying pig and flew in front of Jiang Che.
Obviously, this was the Spirit of the Secret Realm's first time interacting with Young Master Jiang, and it didn't know his preferences. To think it actually transformed into a flying pig?
Anyone with a bit of sense would have transformed into a little loli.
"Are there any?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Trial Spirit was extremely afraid of death. "Of course there are. This trial ground is connected to the former Ancient Heavenly Court."
"As far as I know, above the ninety-ninth heaven, there is a crystal coffin. Sealed inside the coffin is the Heavenly Emperor's favorite daughter, who is also the Heavenly Emperor's only bloodline."
What kind of Spirit of the Secret Realm was this? It had no professional ethics at all.
"Heh... interesting."
Jiang Che laughed out loud. He just felt that this world was inexplicably somewhat hilarious.
In the unseen world, he seemed to see a middle-aged man appear before him, shouting, "Young Master Jiang, I leave my daughter in your care."
Clearly, this was yet another guy coming to deliver a wife to him.
It wasn't that Jiang Che was arrogant, but because everything was simply too coincidental.
Who in their right mind would seal their own daughter in an ice coffin? And even put her in a secret realm?
"When the Ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Heavenly Emperor personally sealed her in the ice coffin..."
Jiang Che said slowly, "If I'm guessing correctly, did the Heavenly Emperor cultivate the Great Dao of Karma and Destiny? Or perhaps the Dao of Space-Time and Chaos?"
The Spirit of the Secret Realm froze for a moment. "Young Master, the Heavenly Emperor dabbled in all the Dao methods you mentioned. The Dao-level cultivation technique he created records nine different paths of the Great Dao, covering the nine supreme Daos: Time, Space, Chaos, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Destiny, Karma, Reincarnation, and Silence..."
When mentioning the Heavenly Emperor, a look of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the Spirit of the Secret Realm.
"Is he that badass?" Jiang Che was slightly surprised. "I kind of want to see what a real Heavenly Fairy looks like now!"
Spirit of the Secret Realm: "......"
Why was this guy's focus completely different? It was all focused on women!
...
"Rumble—"
Countless lightning tribulations struck his body, but they couldn't harm Jiang Che in the slightest.
In the past, he might have been interested in exploiting the heavenly tribulation for benefits, but now... tribulation lightning liquid was nothing compared to points!
Having activated the Flawless Defense Item Card, even the most badass lightning tribulation couldn't inflict a single bit of damage on him.
The simulated Heavenly Dao of the trial stage became extremely frantic because it couldn't lock onto its target!
It clearly sensed the target's existence, but despite using all its tricks, it still couldn't cause any damage. All the power of the lightning tribulation was deflected by the defense.
"Young Master... why don't you let it strike you a couple of times? Otherwise, I feel like this simulated heavenly tribulation might not give up?"
Watching from the side, the Spirit of the Secret Realm's mouth twitched. This guy's methods were a bit too heaven-defying.
He felt even more monstrous than the Demon Ancestor back in the day.
"Strike me? Why don't you get struck instead?" Jiang Che cast a sidelong glance at the Spirit of the Secret Realm. The appearance of this little flying pig made his culinary skills itch to be used.
Furthermore, this lightning tribulation looked far too terrifying. Due to Jiang Che's provocation, the original Great Emperor-level lightning tribulation had now upgraded to an Immortal Tribulation!
"And another thing, this lightning tribulation is taking way too much time. All the subsequent tribulation stages, anything that wastes time... cancel them all for me."
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
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.”
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)
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.
