Speedrun Through the Celestial Realm

Little Flying Pig showed a troubled expression.

"Young Master Jiang, I am just a lowly worker. All the level settings in this secret realm were established a long time ago. I have absolutely no way to modify them."

"But please rest assured, this trial will be over soon. The Great Emperor level trial has a total of five stages, and only this one is a lightning tribulation stage... the rest are all very simple."

Jiang Che yawned. He was planning to speedrun all the levels, alright?

After finishing the Great Emperor level trial, he would go straight to the Immortal level trial. Anyway, the realm of his Immortal Dao Origin was already at the Immortal Emperor level.

After that, the third stage also involved killing demonic beast puppets. This was incredibly easy for Jiang Che. With a single blast of World-Destroying Light, all the demonic beasts were wiped out.

Then, he arrived at the fifth stage!

Jiang Che's divine soul was pulled directly into another space.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he seemed to have arrived in front of an immortal pool, with billowing hot steam rising from its surface.

[Oh no! Young Master Jiang, please be extremely careful... This fifth stage is a trial of lust!]

Little Flying Pig suddenly realized this and hurriedly warned him before Jiang Che's consciousness could sink into depravity.

Although it had only known Jiang Che for a short time, it already knew exactly what kind of guy he was—an absolute pervert. Wouldn't he completely blow up when facing this kind of lust trial?

"Oh? Have I finally made it to this stage?"

Jiang Che's eyes lit up. He felt like a captive who had finally endured long enough to face the honey trap.

"Come on, let your young master see what this level is all about!"

Jiang Che curled his lips into a smile and began to look around.

"Young Master~~~"

Suddenly, an extremely soft and delicate voice sounded by Jiang Che's ear. Immediately after, a fairy with an incredibly alluring figure appeared right in front of him. With hair reaching her waist, she stood up from the immortal pool, sparkling water droplets sliding down her body.

[Is it here?]

Jiang Che felt a surge of joy, but when he saw the fairy's face, he was instantly left speechless.

"Mediocre!"

Of course, she wasn't exactly plain-looking. To ordinary cultivators, she would at least possess the beauty of a top-tier goddess. But who was Jiang Che?

He reckoned... the fairy in this trial stage was probably only around the level of the top one hundred on the Nine Heavens Beauty Ranking at best.

"Young Master~~~ How about this concubine gives you a foot massage?"

"Get lost!" Jiang Che waved his hand and flatly refused.

Was this a joke? Trying to seduce Young Master Jiang with this kind of trash?

The illusionary fairy was visibly stunned, looking as if her AI had crashed. "Little Young Master, am I not beautiful?"

The fairy tried to seduce him again.

"Heh... I am a decent man. With your looks? It is not enough to move me!"

Jiang Che dropped massive hints. This batch was no good. If the trial wanted to tempt him... it would take at least a fairy on the level of Immortal Venerable White Fox to make his heart flutter.

The will of the illusion seemed to understand Jiang Che's hint, as a few more fairies respawned in the immortal pool.

"You have got to be kidding me... Trying to achieve qualitative change through quantitative change, huh? What the hell is this group of ugly ducklings?"

Jiang Che began to complain. Did they really take him for a breeding stallion?

"Get out of my way!"

Even if their looks were a bit lacking, he would not have said anything if they had at least sent out a few cute and obedient little girls.

These alluring fairies exerted all their strength but still could not make Jiang Che succumb. In the end, even the will of the illusion gave up.

"Wait... I am passing just like this? Has the guy who created this secret realm never seen a beautiful woman before?! You could have at least conjured up some beauties from the ancient Heavenly Palace for me!"

Jiang Che was getting a little anxious. "Hey, hey, hey, I actually really like the Moon Goddess Taiyin Xingjun. If you conjure her up, I definitely will not be able to pass this stage."

"Or... Fairy Chang'e would work too? Also the Queen Mother of the West, the three fairy sisters Yunxiao and Bixiao... I am not picky at all."

It had to be said, Jiang Che was truly bold, sprouting such wild nonsense inside the Heavenly Palace secret realm.

Jiang Che's reverse psychology failed, and he was kicked out of the illusion.

"Young Master Jiang! You actually passed this trial of lust???"

Little Flying Pig flew in front of Jiang Che and spoke in disbelief. It had thought Jiang Che would sink into the illusion of beauty forever.

But the result—

It seemed Jiang Che was no ordinary person. His lechery was merely a disguise. His true mind and shrewdness were probably even deeper than that of the Demon Ancestor back in the day!

"Heh... Did you really think I would be trapped by lust?"

Jiang Che stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking very much like a transcendent immortal. "So-called beauty is ultimately nothing more than a handful of yellow dirt. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will eventually become nothing but a pink skeleton."

Little Flying Pig flew to Jiang Che's side. This feeling was exactly right!!!

As expected, this Jiang Che might really have some connection to the Demon Ancestor. Although it was just the soul of a secret realm, if it clung to Jiang Che's coattails, and Jiang Che really became the Heavenly Emperor in the future, it might even be able to snag a position as a heavenly official.

"Congratulations on successfully clearing the Emperor Tribulation Secret Realm. Unlocking the Great Emperor level secret realm rewards."

High up in the sky of the secret realm, a jade-white bead appeared out of thin air, radiating immortal spiritual energy.

"All the rewards are inside this Spirit Orb!" Little Flying Pig was beyond excited. "The Spirit Orb itself is an innate spiritual treasure, an embryo for a Dao artifact. With long-term refinement, it can be upgraded to a half-step Dao artifact!"

However, Jiang Che wasn't interested in the treasures inside the Spirit Orb.

His heart was extremely devout—he was only interested in girls. He was dead set on becoming the Heavenly Emperor's wicked son-in-law!

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes at this moment. He felt a different kind of power surging into his body, much like the golden dragon of destiny from the ancient Heavenly Court era.

But he didn't care. "Alright, I've got all the rewards from the Great Emperor realm secret realm. Next up is the Immortal realm."

Jiang Che didn't drag his feet at all.

"But Young Master, your strength..." Little Flying Pig was about to speak but shut his mouth, because he sensed that... Jiang Che's life essence had bizarrely leveled up from the Great Emperor realm to a One-Tribulation Immortal?

...

And so, right under the nose of Little Flying Pig, the spirit of the secret realm, Jiang Che speedran the secret realms!

One-Tribulation Immortal secret realm!

Two-Tribulation Immortal secret realm!

Three-Tribulation...

The secret realms became increasingly difficult. By the time he reached the Four-Tribulation Immortal Lord secret realm, he had to simultaneously fight three Immortal Venerable realm Primordial Dragon Pythons. This level of difficulty would guarantee defeat even for Tian Chan during her time as an Immortal Lord.

But Jiang Che just used a single item card to wipe them all out.

With item cards and the Light of World Destruction for offense, and flawless defense plus revival cards, Jiang Che was acting like a bandit in the secret realms.

"Young Master, you... please slow down. This is already an Immortal Emperor realm secret realm, the final tribulation of the Heavenly Emperor's Twelve Tribulations. You must be extremely careful in this last one."

The spirit of the secret realm had long since become Jiang Che's fanboy. Mastering such methods... it was too terrifying!

At first, he thought Jiang Che was just an ordinary Great Emperor, but looking at it now... he was definitely a super big shot who came specifically to inherit the Heavenly Court's immortal treasury.

"Stop nagging, I can already see the ice coffin!"

Jiang Che raised his eyes. He had already arrived at the Ninety-Ninth Heaven. Above the firmament, resting on a Chaos Green Lotus, was a massive profound ice coffin, wrapped in the chaotic energy of Yin and Yang.

But Jiang Che's eyes were exceptionally sharp. He could faintly make out the silhouette—this daughter of the Heavenly Emperor... was quite well-endowed.
