"Roar!!!"
The red dragon was clearly not working for the Supernatural United Bureau for the first time.
When the mountainous dragon's body appeared, corresponding measures were immediately taken near the Supernatural United Bureau headquarters. A wide and spacious landing area was prepared for the red dragon to rest.
"The dragon destroyed the landing pad!"
Rex Santos excitedly shouted something he had heard from who knows where.
With a burst of speed,
a steep dive,
and a tail flick upon landing,
the red dragon landed on the ground in a flamboyant manner.
The immense kinetic energy from the impact tore deep gouges into the ground, showcasing the raw power of a Sanctuary dragon and its overwhelming presence.
However, near the landing site,
the staff were accustomed to this scene.
They weren't too surprised.
They quickly divided tasks and began repairing the damage caused by the red dragon.
But soon, someone noticed something unusual. It was a clerical worker responsible for task handovers with the red dragon. He asked the dragon if the recent strength assessment had gone smoothly.
The red dragon nodded solemnly, "That lord's strength is formidable. I narrowly lost to him."
The clerical worker was shocked, "What? Not only is he a true Sanctuary Magus, but he also achieved victory!?"
Holy crap.
This kind of thing actually happened!
The clerical worker was both shocked and thrilled, his voice trembling uncontrollably. Working at the headquarters, he knew all too well how significant the emergence of a Sanctuary-level combatant was for humanity.
"This, this, this!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"No, no, I must report this immediately and get in touch with that Sanctuary powerhouse again!"
The clerical worker was too excited.
He was about to turn and leave when a light, airy voice came from above.
"No need to contact me. I'm already here."
…………
A new Sanctuary Magus had been born.
Not a member of an alien race, nor someone from another world, but a true compatriot of Huaxia, a super genius who had ascended to the pinnacle through magical inheritance.
As soon as this news spread, it caused a huge uproar throughout the Supernatural United Bureau headquarters.
Especially after it became known that Xu Xi had personally arrived,
the commotion grew even more intense.
After the staff reported the situation, it took less than five minutes for the area to be completely cordoned off, keeping the curious supernatural onlookers at bay.
"Sanctuary? Holy crap, isn't that almost godlike!?"
"Damn it, I'm so jealous!"
"Big shot, big shot, look at me! I'm your long-lost brother from another mother!"
The noise, the clamor,
and the sounds of envy and jealousy filled the air.
It wasn't until Xu Xi followed the staff into the inner sanctum of the Supernatural United Bureau headquarters that the noise gradually subsided.
"Mr. Xu, may I address you as such?"
"Sure."
Inside the headquarters building,
the lighting was bright, with lamps arranged evenly. The silver-white metal corridors were inscribed with Buddhist scriptures and Taoist talismans, sealing off any possibility of intrusion by malevolent spirits or demons.
When Xu Xi entered, someone was already waiting for him.
It was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Compared to others, this was already an impressive level of cultivation, worthy of respect wherever he went. But compared to Xu Xi, he seemed rather ordinary.
The Nascent Soul cultivator was well aware of this and maintained a humble demeanor, speaking respectfully.
"Mr. Xu, please follow me."
"Your permissions within the Bureau, as well as your benefits and points in the Supernatural Home, have all been upgraded. You can check the specifics on the Supernatural Home platform."
The process was quick, almost alarmingly so.
In the time it took Xu Xi to drink a cup of water, his identity as a Sanctuary Magus was confirmed, and both his permissions and benefits were upgraded accordingly.
"Don't you need to test my strength again?"
"Haha, you must be joking. If you've earned the recognition of that red dragon, your strength is beyond question."
"True," Xu Xi nodded.
The pride of dragons was well-known.
Whether it was the dragons of the East or the dragons of the West, both held immense pride in their bloodline and looked down on all other creatures with equal disdain.
The only way to earn a dragon's respect and make them submit was to defeat and subdue them.
This was why the Supernatural United Bureau immediately confirmed that Xu Xi was a true Sanctuary Magus.
The Nascent Soul cultivator continued, "Next, please follow this corridor all the way to the end. Our director is waiting for you there."
"The director?"
"Yes. Perhaps you've already heard from the red dragon—it was the sword immortal who defeated it with a single strike."
"Alright, I understand."
Xu Xi's speculation was confirmed.
The one who had defeated the red dragon was indeed a sword immortal, and he also served as the director of the Supernatural United Bureau.
Xu Xi couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity: "I've already encountered gods in the simulation world, but I've never met an immortal before."
"I thought I'd see one in a later simulation, but I never expected it to happen in the real world."
"Well, I'll meet him."
"After all, with the Eternal Tear, safety isn't an issue, and he can't possibly be an Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, the Earth wouldn't be able to handle it."
Xu Xi calmly weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, he decided to go ahead with the meeting.
He walked along the silver-white metal corridor, heading straight ahead. Just as he was about to reach the end, the space around him blurred and shifted, transforming into a natural landscape.
The sound of flowing water and rustling bamboo leaves filled the air.
The sunlight filtering through the sky was just right, refracting off the rippling water surface to create a dreamy, tranquil scene.
Xu Xi looked ahead and saw a lean, elderly figure practicing swordplay alone.
He was old,
but also incredibly free-spirited.
Without using any supernatural abilities or immortal power, he simply swung his sword calmly, yet the sharpness of his sword intent seemed capable of cutting through anything.
But what truly surprised Xu Xi was the style of the flying sword in the man's hand.
It was unmistakably the Withered Vine Sword,
a unique forging technique of the Forest Sword Peak lineage from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Traitorous disciple, it's been so long, yet you refuse to call me your teacher!"
The sword immortal slowly retracted his sword intent, and the countless sword energies that had filled the heavens and earth returned to the Withered Vine Sword. He turned slightly, revealing a face that Xu Xi recognized.
Li Wanshou.
The master of Forest Sword Peak.
Xu Xi's teacher from his first simulation world.
"Teacher?" Xu Xi was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "This disciple admits his fault."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Their smiles were calm, without any overwhelming excitement or tears. It was a serene and natural exchange, just like the old days when they addressed each other as teacher and disciple.
"Sit down."
Li Wanshou gestured for Xu Xi to take a seat.
The two of them sat around a stone table, facing each other. As the gentle breeze whispered by, fresh bamboo leaves steeped in hot water slowly filled their teacups.
After a few simple pleasantries and confirming Xu Xi's recent circumstances,
Li Wanshou's expression turned nostalgic. "Though I don't know how you, this traitorous disciple, came back to life, this teacher... is very happy."
The old man's lips curled into a smile, but it didn't last long before his face turned stern again.
He slammed the table and lamented, "Traitorous disciple! Why on earth did you have to go and learn some barbaric magic? It's shallow, vulgar! The path of immortality is the true, righteous path!"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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!

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.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
