“Great! Brother Mu, Senior, I’ll head over first.”
Chen Xuan nodded.
Wei Jingzhi used the Boundary Flame to distort the barrier before them, allowing a small amount of seawater to flow from the inner realm to the outside.
Chen Xuan immediately leaped up, passed through the barrier, entered the inner realm, and disappeared from their sight.
Wei Jingzhi withdrew the Boundary Flame and turned around. “All right, let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Xu Mu kept his hands in his pockets and suddenly asked, “Senior, are there many people carrying out missions in the inner realm?”
“Very many. To cultivators, the inner realm is the true battlefield for becoming stronger.”
Wei Jingzhi pointed toward the inner realm behind them. “Although Qingqiu isn’t a main continent, it’s far from a backwater. Several powerful races reside there. By the way, the Baishi Clan you encountered during your previous mission is in Qingqiu.”
“What? The Baishi Clan is actually in Qingqiu? Then doesn’t that mean the Jiao Clan is there too?”
Xu Mu had heard before that the Jiao Clan and the Baishi Clan were allied.
“More or less. The Jiao Clan’s main territory is on the Northern Dark Continent, but they’re located near Qingqiu, and their influence extends into it.”
Wei Jingzhi explained, “To put it simply, their territory spans two inner realms.”
“Since the Jiao Clan is so powerful, why don’t they simply wipe out all the other races in Qingqiu and become its rulers?”
Xu Mu asked, puzzled.
“You’ve asked a very important question. This is the difference between minor races that bicker among themselves and top-tier races.”
Wei Jingzhi raised one finger. “The top-tier races of the inner realm kill one another on sight and practically wish the others dead. Yet they share one unspoken rule: maintain the status quo.”
Xu Mu nodded inwardly. “I think I understand what you mean.”
“Heh, you really are clever. This is the true nature of their struggle. Since their races stand at the pinnacle, the last thing they want to see is a new race growing powerful. So they generally don’t interfere in battles between ordinary races. But if a race reaches the brink of extinction, those great races will step in to help.”
As he spoke, Wei Jingzhi left the small ruin with Xu Mu.
Xu Mu already understood their methods.
Take the Jiao Clan, for example. If they truly tried to conquer Qingqiu, the great races of the Northern Dark Continent definitely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. Instead, they would help the other races deal with the Jiao Clan.
They didn’t want to see the Jiao Clan swallow up the other races. If the Jiao Clan obtained all those cultivation techniques, inheritances, and heavenly treasures, its overall strength would increase tremendously.
That was something none of the great races were willing to see.
Xu Mu chatted with Wei Jingzhi for a while longer before driving home.
Beneath the villa was an underground illusion formation. Tong Guoguo, Meng Wanyue, and Dai Xingluo were cultivating there.
After greeting them, Xu Mu headed to the deepest part of the formation.
First, he took out the heavenly treasures. Then he retrieved the shikigami techniques.
After that, he lay down and opened his status panel.
Including yesterday, this mission had earned Xu Mu another five ten-pulls.
Today, he planned to spend all his Justice Points on draws. If his luck was good, he might be able to advance to the mid-stage of Transcendence.
Xu Mu opened the wheel and began his ten-pull.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the God-tier ability: Advanced Focus.]
…
Xu Mu nodded to himself. The Focus ability was indeed powerful.
Whether he was refining pills or cultivating techniques, it could double his efficiency with half the effort.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Grade-Seven Qi-Sea Pill Gift Box.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained 20 Cultivation Points.]
…
The first ten-pull ended. Nine of the results were guaranteed rewards, including one God-tier ability and one piece of junk.
Next, Xu Mu began his second ten-pull.
His luck was decent this time. They were all guaranteed rewards.
For Xu Mu now, guaranteed rewards were precisely what he needed most.
The third ten-pull began, and once again, every result was a guaranteed reward.
Xu Mu immediately started the fourth ten-pull.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Storage Space.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained one ton of Spirit Stones.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the divine medicine, Everlasting Stone Flower.]
The fourth ten-pull ended, yielding three notable items.
When Xu Mu saw the divine medicine, he felt a brief flicker of excitement. But when he saw that it was the Everlasting Stone Flower, his entire mood collapsed.
This divine medicine was actually a deadly poison. Normally, whenever it appeared, not a single blade of grass would grow within a radius of ten thousand meters.
For the flower to work against powerful cultivators, it had to be swallowed whole.
Unfortunately, it was insoluble in water and as hard as stone. Even if it was ground into powder, its texture was like chewing shards of glass. No one would ever fall for such a poison.
Yet the spiritual energy contained inside it was genuine. It was even superior to that of many other divine medicines.
Xu Mu decisively began the final ten-pull.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Grade-Six Heavenly Treasure Gift Box.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Storage Space.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the divine medicine, Everlasting Stone Flower.]
…
Xu Mu was completely stunned.
“One isn’t enough? You had to give me two? Is this system doing it on purpose?”
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained 20 Attribute Points.]
…
All five ten-pulls were finally complete. Aside from Advanced Focus, Xu Mu hadn’t received anything particularly useful.
However, his Cultivation Points had increased considerably, by a total of 810 points, while his Attribute Points had increased by 400.
That was enough to take him another step forward, so he added all the points.
The power within his body suddenly surged. Then, a string of black words appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations, host. You have reached the mid-stage of Transcendence.]
“Excellent!”
Xu Mu clenched his fists, a smile spreading across his face. Reaching Worldbreaker was now just a matter of time.
After everything was over, he checked his current status panel.
Name: Xu Mu
Character: Villain’s Sacred Physique, President of the Xu Group
Realm: Mid-Stage of Transcendence
Physique: 3,590
Spirit: 3,590
Cultivation Value: 260/3,200
Heaven’s Mandate Power: 3,572
After looking over the panel, Xu Mu entered a state of intense focus and began studying the shikigami techniques in his possession.
He discovered that the so-called shikigami were simply adaptations of formations and talismans.
As an eighth-level formation master, he possessed a solid foundation.
…
For the next few days, Xu Mu did not go out on any missions.
Apart from eating and sleeping, he devoted himself entirely to studying the techniques.
Finally, after several days, Xu Mu completely mastered both shikigami techniques.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked upward. Through his senses, he detected a woman standing outside the gate of his villa.
It was Miyako Fuka, the woman he had encountered on the plane.
“How strange. What is she doing at my house?”
Curious, Xu Mu left the illusion formation.
The villa’s doorbell rang. Xu Mu walked over and opened the gate.
“Why are you here?”
Xu Mu looked at the woman before him, whose bearing was exceptionally elegant.
“I… I’ll be straightforward. Lady Tsukuyomi sent me.”
Miyako Fuka got straight to the point.
Xu Mu pretended not to know. “What did she send you here for? To kill me?”
“I know my own limits.”
Miyako Fuka gave a bitter laugh. “Lady Tsukuyomi wants you to return her ring and remove the parasite from her body.”
“Why did she send you? Do you really have that much influence?”
Xu Mu sized up Miyako Fuka with a smile. “Or are you planning to pay some other price?”
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!

At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
