Yi Feng brought Gong Chen to the Immortal Realm.
Feeling the fresh air of the Immortal Realm again, Gong Chen's body trembled slightly.
He looked at Yi Feng beside him with great respect.
Being able to return to the Immortal Realm was something he had never dared to imagine before.
However, even though he had returned to the Immortal Realm, he still felt very uneasy.
What exactly did he mean to his master, and why had he been chosen for such an important role?
Was it luck?
Or did he have some special quality?
He didn't believe he had such incredible luck, nor did he think he had any outstanding qualities that would attract such a powerful master.
After hesitating for a moment, Gong Chen cautiously voiced his question.
Then he added, "Why does Master only recruit people from Dark Shadow Island?"
Yi Feng's eyelid twitched when he heard this.
This... this stupid question... How could someone as weak as him dare to trick powerful experts anywhere else besides Dark Shadow Island, where they couldn't use their cultivation?
Others could flatten him with a single palm!
He may have had problems with his spiritual roots, but his brain worked just fine.
To be honest, if he hadn't met these people on Dark Shadow Island, but somewhere else instead.
They definitely wouldn't have sworn to follow him.
Of course, he couldn't say this to Gong Chen.
"For now, I'm only recruiting people from Dark Shadow Island," he replied.
"Why?" Gong Chen asked respectfully.
"The secrets of heaven..."
Yi Feng spoke slowly, shaking his head gently, and said mysteriously: "Cannot be revealed."
Ah, this...
Gong Chen was at a loss for words.
The next moment, he realized something and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to ask further.
Master said, the secrets of heaven...
What the Immortal Realm called "secrets of heaven" weren't the true secrets.
Those so-called secrets calculated by the old monsters of the Immortal Realm were nothing more than personal fate or tribulations, or the rise and fall of certain powers. At most, they could only predict some future calamities of the world.
But the true secrets of heaven, no one could calculate.
Master mentioned the secrets of heaven... It must not be the ordinary kind referred to in the Immortal Realm.
It seems that Master is planning something earth-shattering! Only this could warrant such caution from Master.
What could it be?
Gong Chen pondered silently.
Suddenly, his confused mind grasped onto something, and his eyes widened.
Only recruiting people from Dark Shadow Island...
And Dark Shadow Island was the most dangerous place of exile in the Immortal Realm.
Equivalent to a death row prison, from which no one could escape.
Those who could be on Dark Shadow Island were all serious criminals of the Immortal Realm.
The only ones who could banish people to Dark Shadow Island... Gong Chen's eyes widened even more.
It was the Heavenly Immortal Palace!
Could it be... Gong Chen was frightened by the idea that popped into his mind.
Could Master's plan be related to the Heavenly Immortal Palace?
It must be.
Gong Chen was somewhat shocked.
But thinking of Master's strength, he gradually calmed down.
He had seen a few of those old fogies from the Immortal Palace, and they were indeed powerful.
But compared to Master, they were still far behind.
No matter what Master was planning for the Immortal Palace, even if it was to destroy it, Gong Chen thought nothing was impossible.
If it was really about destroying the Immortal Palace and establishing a new one to control the Immortal Realm... hehe...
As Master's closest subordinate, he would at least be an elder.
An elder of the Immortal Palace, Gong Chen felt elated just thinking about it.
It was truly delightful.
Involuntarily, he glanced at Yi Feng beside him, as if seeking confirmation.
And coincidentally, Yi Feng turned his head and smiled at him.
Yi Feng's smile seemed to give him some kind of affirmation, instantly making Gong Chen clench his buttocks.
He thought to himself: It really is so.
With Gong Chen as his bodyguard, Yi Feng was no longer afraid. He took Gong Chen to a tavern in the city, eating and drinking to his heart's content, thoroughly enjoying himself.
But far away, countless miles distant, there were others enjoying themselves even more.
Three newly acquainted lackeys of Lu Benwei and the others descended.
Here were jade palaces and jeweled towers.
A scene of revelry and prosperity.
The pure fragrance of wine permeated the air. Just deeply inhaling the scent of this wine seemed to stabilize one's realm somewhat.
All around, immortal maidens dressed in silk occasionally floated by.
They were the attendants of this place.
Yet even these mere attendants had realms they couldn't discern.
"This..."
"Is this the Azure Sky White Jade Tower, the number one pleasure house in the Immortal Realm!?"
The three of them were stunned by the scene before them.
My goodness.
In an instant, the great Lu had brought them from the competition venue to this legendary top pleasure house.
The three of them looked around curiously, like country bumpkins entering a village.
The reputation of the Immortal Realm's number one pleasure house was certainly not exaggerated.
Those who could afford to indulge here were all great powers.
Even the lowest attendants here were at least Profound Immortal realm. Although the three of them came from decent backgrounds, this was their first time coming to such a place.
After being dazed for a moment, the three looked at the five elders beside them.
"Li Tian, Li Di, Li Ren, pay respects to Elder Lu, Dog Elder, Night Wind Elder, Milk Elder, and Spirit King Elder!"
The three quickly knelt down and respectfully addressed the skeleton, centipede, dog, bear, and soul entity at the head of the table, each flanked by two immortal maidens.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
