"You are Lu Ze?"
Chi Shengtian looked at Lu Ze with a peculiar expression.
He had assumed that the young man capable of creating "Immortal Realm Domination" and "Three Kingdoms Slayer" must be an outstanding cultivator blessed with great fortune.
But when he used his Qi Observation Technique just now, he found Lu Ze utterly unremarkable—someone who would vanish in a crowd.
"That’s right."
Lu Ze silently activated the [Frost Breath Technique].
This high-level concealment art, stolen from Li Moran months ago, had proven incredibly useful.
Especially after he poured nearly a century of cultivation experience into mastering it, reaching its peak perfection.
Now, with the enhancement of his immortal physique, it was downright heaven-defying.
Unless someone probed his soul with divine sense, he could deceive the eyes of most cultivators.
And given his displayed cultivation level, who would bother scrutinizing him so thoroughly?
"May I ask why Elder Chi has summoned this junior?"
"It’s not me, but my disciple who has a request for you…"
Hearing this, Lu Ze grew even more curious.
On the way here, he had asked Nangong Yuan about the Grand Elder of Tianxuan Sect.
Among the five great sects, Tianxuan had the fewest disciples.
Each elder typically only had one or two true disciples under their tutelage.
The Grand Elder Chi Shengtian’s true disciple was Tianxuan’s Holy Son, rumored to possess an absurdly prodigious talent for cultivation.
"Shen Yan."
At Chi Shengtian’s call, a strikingly handsome young man with sharp brows, starry eyes, and flowing long hair rose respectfully from his seat.
"Your disciple is here."
"A guest from afar is a guest indeed. Show our visitor from Lingxiao Sect around Tianxuan Sect."
……
……
Nangong Yuan and the other elders went to the main peak to set up formations and establish servers.
Meanwhile, Lu Ze followed the legendary Holy Son of Tianxuan Sect for a stroll through the sect grounds.
"Brother Shen, are Tianxuan disciples prone to envy?"
Lu Ze asked curiously.
"Disciples of Tianxuan have always upheld righteousness. How could we be envious?"
Shen Yan frowned, puzzled by the question.
"Why would Brother Lu say such a thing?"
"Brother Shen, from what I’ve observed, all the Tianxuan disciples around us are secretly staring at you… and their gazes don’t seem friendly!"
Lu Ze lowered his voice conspiratorially.
"You strike me as an honest man, Brother Shen. You must be careful of knives in your back!"
"Uh…"
After hearing Lu Ze’s warning, Shen Yan’s expression turned slightly odd.
"Brother Lu."
"Yes?"
"Is it possible… they’re actually looking at you?"
"Huh?"
……
After Shen Yan’s explanation, Lu Ze finally understood.
Turns out, his infamy had long spread throughout Tianxuan Sect.
All thanks to the true disciple Guo Yunwen, who had participated in the recent martial exchange.
Back then, "Immortal Realm Domination" was all the rage, and disciples were clamoring for "local specialties" from Lingxiao Sect.
Guo Yunwen not only brought back premium goods like "Immortal Realm Domination," "Plant vs. Zombies," and "Demon Sect Escape,"
but also threw in "Cultivator’s Descent: 100 Floors" for good measure.
The motto? "If I suffered, I’m taking everyone down with me."
That one wasn’t so bad.
After all, if you couldn’t beat it, you could just quit.
Since Tianxuan lacked the main illusion crystal, disciples couldn’t see the rankings or scores of other sects.
After getting wrecked, they’d just rage-quit and curse a bit.
But later, when Lin An demanded that his peak’s disciples clear "It Takes Two," their resentment toward Lu Ze reached new heights!
Rumor had it many were still stuck on that one…
"Haha, but personally, I find Brother Lu’s illusion realms quite fascinating! My juniors could certainly use some tempering of their resolve."
Shen Yan didn’t seem bothered at all—in fact, he praised Lu Ze enthusiastically.
"Fascinating?!"
Lu Ze was stunned.
Even he, who had experienced "I Wanna" in his past life, would never describe it so generously.
"Brother Shen’s mental fortitude is truly exceptional!"
Lu Ze couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up.
This guy was hardcore.
"I’m not sure… My master says I’m a born Dao Seed. Maybe it’s innate."
Shen Yan sighed wistfully.
"If there’s anything in this world that could shake my Dao Heart, I’d love to see it."
"That might be tough."
Lu Ze shrugged.
Anyone who could enjoy "Cultivator’s Descent: 100 Floors" and "It Takes Two" with a smile had willpower far beyond ordinary people.
"By the way, Elder Chi mentioned you had a request. What is it?"
"Ah, this matter… it relates to Brother Lu’s expertise in illusion realms."
For once, Shen Yan’s face flushed slightly as he awkwardly summoned his weapon.
It was an absurdly massive warhammer.
Forged from rare darksteel and spirit crystals, its craftsmanship screamed extravagance.
But no matter how heavenly the materials or how steep the price,
it was still just a hammer.
In short,
it was kinda lame.
"Though I have some talent for cultivation, my swordsmanship is… lacking."
"Yet for some reason, hammer-type weapons suit me perfectly."
Shen Yan sighed mournfully, stroking the hammer with regret.
After his lament, Lu Ze grasped the situation.
Turns out, this guy was a born hammer cultivator but yearned for the grace and elegance of the sword path.
He wanted to master the sword.
But even the Grand Elder couldn’t teach him—let alone anyone else.
Then Shen Yan tried Lu Ze’s illusion realms.
He sensed something profound hidden within them.
"I’ve heard Brother Lu excels at crafting illusion realms, always using clever designs to bring unexpected breakthroughs for cultivators…"
Lu Ze internally facepalmed:
‘Who the hell told him that? I make these things to torture people, not help them train!!’
"So, could Brother Lu design an illusion realm to help me comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship?"
Shen Yan’s gaze was earnest as he struck a particularly dramatic pose.
This guy really loved showing off…
"Uh, maybe you could try ‘Plant vs. Zombies’…"
Lu Ze deflected.
"I know! I train in ‘Plant vs. Zombies’ every day!"
Shen Yan said seriously.
"But we both know it’s just for basic sword swings and repetition. I need something deeper—an illusion realm that can help me grasp the Dao of the Sword!"
Lu Ze’s eye twitched.
This guy was seriously dedicated…
"Honestly, being a hammer cultivator isn’t so bad…"
Lu Ze opted for consolation.
Come on.
He was a demonic cultivator.
Why would he ever create illusion realms to help righteous cultivators train?
Not even for money!
Just then,
the System’s voice echoed in his ears:
[Host has encountered the Righteous Path’s Holy Son. His Dao Heart is unshakable—a future calamity for the Demonic Path!]

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

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.”
