Yi Feng sat in the dilapidated temple and studied it stubbornly.
One hour passed, two hours passed...
Yi Feng had thought through all the possible effects of this goddamn halo, only to painfully realize that other than the beam of light on his head, this useless thing was completely useless.
Of course.
If you really wanted to scrutinize it, it did still have a little bit of use.
At least with this beam of light, he wouldn't be afraid of stepping on snakes when walking at night in the summer.
After happily getting his hopes up for nothing, Yi Feng collapsed dispiritedly on the ground and started researching the system again.
After all, he thought, hadn't the system just upgraded?
After upgrading, it should be able to bring him some new functions, right?
But Yi Feng suddenly remembered that other than rewarding him with a stubbornness, patience, and the beam of light on his head that could be summoned at any time, this system just taught him musical instruments, chess, books and painting.
Additionally, it could detect other people's talents.
In other words, the entire functional purpose of the system was just detecting other people's talents.
So with such limited functionality to begin with, how much could it improve after upgrading?
But he still had to try.
Perhaps after the system upgraded, it improved the talent detection function. For example, in addition to talents, it could also detect other people's cultivation, or some other secrets?
With this idea in mind, Yi Feng walked out of the temple again.
Just as he was looking for a target to detect, six silhouettes streaked across the sky above Guantang City.
Although he didn't know who they were, anyone who could fly must be a cultivator. So Yi Feng directly activated the detection on those six people.
"Ding: Too lazy to detect."
After a moment of waiting, the system sounded.
"Huh?"
"Too lazy to detect?"
As soon as he heard the system's voice, Yi Feng was dumbfounded instantly. His lips quivered as he brewed countless curses in his heart.
He thought that after the system was upgraded, this one existing function would also be upgraded. But he never imagined this would be the result.
It was even too lazy to detect now?
"Damn."
"Scam system."
"Screw your whole family."
The furious Yi Feng wanted to drag this damn system out and beat it up, but he was completely powerless.
With nowhere to vent his anger, he took out a knife and stabbed the half pig carcass placed on the nearby butcher block over eighty times before stopping.
When he left, seeing the fat female butcher lift up her pig-killing knife, he had only taken half a pound of meat. He threw down a coin with a missing corner and left cursing.
The six people swept their eyes over the entire Guantang City as they streaked across the sky.
"How come there is still no trace of Senior?" The leader of Heng Tian Sword House couldn't help but ask Ye Yi: "Miss Ye, did you miss anything?"
"I shouldn't have. I remember Senior's appearance and back perfectly clearly. If I saw him, I would definitely recognize him at a glance," Ye Yi shook her head and said.
"Then how come even after circling Guantang City countless times, we still haven't found him? What's going on here?" The sect master of Tianlong Valley frowned and said.
"That's right. Could it be that Senior doesn't want to see us?" The sect master of Taiyi Valley couldn't help but say.
"I guess that's also possible. With the six of us looking for one person, it would be too easy unless Senior doesn't want us to find him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us not to find him," the sect master of Canghai Mountain said.
"I don't think Senior deliberately doesn't want to see us. He is very kind and easy to approach," Ye Yi shook her head and guessed.
"Then why?" Ye Neng asked.
"I remember now!" Suddenly, Ye Yi hurriedly said, "When I met Senior, he kept calling himself an ordinary person and told me not to call him senior. That means he doesn't want to reveal his identity at all. Our reckless flying around here obviously goes against Senior's ideas!"
"Oh, so that's why."
"Hurry, let's land quickly."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized. They hurriedly descended from the sky and converged their auras at the same time.
At this moment, the jade talismans of the four major sect leaders lit up at the same time.
After reading the messages in the jade talismans, they looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Obviously.
The four of them received the same message.
"What's the matter? Did something happen?" Ye Neng couldn't help asking.
"An anomaly between heaven and earth appeared in the sky above Yi Xian Valley. If I guess correctly, a treasure between heaven and earth should have appeared," the sect master of Taiyi Valley said.
"That's right. The movement caused by this anomaly between heaven and earth is very large. Many hidden forces have emerged. I'm afraid we four will have to go," the sect master of Heng Tian Sword House said rather reluctantly.
"Duty calls, you guys go ahead," Ye Neng looked up at the sky in the north direction. Indeed, the sky there was filled with anomalies.
Although reluctant to leave, the four didn't have a choice. But before leaving, they all solemnly exhorted Ye Neng.
"We'll come back immediately after taking care of things."
"For now, finding Senior will be left to you."
"If you find Senior, please send him our regards first."
"When you get familiar with Senior later, remember to introduce us!"
"Remember, you must remember!"
The four kept looking back every three steps until they finally flew towards Yi Xian Valley.
"Father, how should we look for Senior?"
After the four left, Ye Yi couldn't help but ask Ye Neng.
"If your heart is sincere, then your wish will come true. Since Senior has the heaven-reaching means you mentioned, I'm sure we'll see him very soon if he doesn't reject meeting us," Ye Neng said softly.
Ye Yi nodded.
The father and daughter started their journey, searching aimlessly.
"What a coincidence, young lady."
Just after turning a street corner, a familiar voice came from the side.
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.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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.”
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."
