I, the destined villain, begin by manipulating the saintess.

Chapter 308 Past Events, Dream Warning

"Mother, look, I've broken through another realm."

The young boy, feeling the surging power within him, cheered and ran to his mother, eagerly throwing himself into her arms as if seeking praise.

He was beaming with joy, unable to contain his happiness.

"Yes, Mother saw it. Xiao Fan is great."

Xiao Fan chuckled and tilted his head back, beaming with pride:

"It's just so-so, it's all thanks to my mother's good teaching."

The young and tender Xiao Fan nestled tightly in his mother's arms.

He looked at the stars in the sky, and with a gentle pinch of his hand, the stars, which were tens of thousands of miles away, were crushed by him from a distance.

After a deafening roar, a dazzling display of fireworks erupted, a truly magnificent sight.

Ling Yueqian looked at the giant metal star that her son had crushed, and was slightly surprised.

That was a star she had deliberately placed on the dome to replenish the metal elemental immortal energy. Its hardness was comparable to that of a great demon in the Taiyi realm, yet it was crushed by her own son.

My son is truly gifted!

She wasn't angry; Yu Zhi gently tapped her finger.

Another Geng star descended from the infinitely distant heavens, landing on the giant Geng Venus that had just been destroyed, and everything was restored to normal.

"Mother, how strong am I now?"

"Dad always says that when he was my age, he could already cleave the Milky Way with his sword and suppress all spirits. Is what he said true?"

The young Xiao Fan had fair skin and a chubby face full of curiosity.

His eyes were bright and piercing, and he was born with extraordinary divine power.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. When your dad was your age, he had only just reached the Qi Refining stage and was being chased by a group of Foundation Establishment demon beasts," Ling Yueqian said with a smile.

Xiao Fan found it hard to believe. He asked in disbelief, "No way, Dad was chased by a Foundation Establishment demon beast?"

"More than that, we were hunted down for a whole month."

Xiao Fan laughed, his voice lively: "So, were the things he said before lying to me?"

"You can't trust your father's words. He's a big liar. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fool your mother." Ling Yueqian said with a smile.

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "It seems that Father is really good at lying. Even Mother was fooled by him."

"I will definitely treat people sincerely in the future and will not become like him," Xiao Fan said confidently.

Ling Yueqian affectionately rubbed his little head and said, "I think you should learn from your father. It's okay to lie to others, but don't lie to your mother."

Xiao Fan: "Why is that?"

"This can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words."

Xiao Fan nodded, not understanding, but his young mind remembered those words.

"I'm already five years old and I'm only at the True Immortal Realm. Uncle Zulong said that Golden Immortals are nothing but trash in his hands. Am I very weak?"

"It's different. His underlings are all beings who have cultivated for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. They're not as powerful as our Xiao Fan."

Xiao Fan was shocked and felt deceived.

Damn it!

...

...

In Xiao Fan's memory, his mother stayed by his side until he was ten years old, teaching him cultivation.

However, playing is a child's nature, and Xiao Fan was no exception. He often tugged at the dragon's whiskers and asked the dragon to help him escape secretly.

"Young master, no, if Madam finds out we sneaked out, it will be a big problem."

"Madam certainly won't hit you, but when she hits me, it really hurts, she's practically tearing my tendons out."

"I don't care, if you don't take me out to play, I'll tell my mom you're bullying me," Xiao Fan threatened.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King's whiskers trembled. "Is my young master already so young and already threatening others?"

Unable to dissuade Xiao Fan, Zu Long had no choice but to sneak him out.

It was discovered afterward, of course, and Xiao Fan immediately admitted his mistake.

"Mother, I really didn't slack off. I was just going out to gain experience."

"It was Uncle Zulong who told me that going out to train would help me grow quickly, so I went out."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueqian said, "Don't do this again next time, or I'll lock you in the dark room."

There will absolutely be no next time.

"Okay, let's go back."

The scene shifts, and Zu Long is trembling, saying ingratiatingly, "Madam, if I said that the young master asked me to take him out, would you believe me?"

Ling Yueqian's phoenix eyes turned cold, and she retorted, "Nonsense, my son would never lie to me."

"How old is he? How could he have learned to lie so quickly?"

"I asked you to accompany him in his spiritual practice, not for you to cause trouble with him."

Emperor Zulong hesitated, wanting to speak but daring not to.

Only Xiao Fan was secretly laughing to himself.

Uncle Zulong, you're tough and resilient, you'll definitely survive.

...

...

At fifteen, Xiao Fan's face was still very youthful.

However, he was unrestrained and unconventional, dressed in white that was as white as snow, with a tall and slender figure that looked slender from afar and imposing and majestic like a mountain up close.

His face was absolutely stunning, so perfect that even the most renowned fairy in the world would feel a sense of inadequacy and disparity upon seeing him.

In addition, Xiao Fan already had a powerful background, and since childhood, he had been surrounded by countless beautiful women, with various goddesses and saintesses wanting to marry him.

But at that time he was young and ignorant, and he didn't care.

He only wanted to focus on cultivating the Tao, and his eyes were still very pure.

It was also in this year that he met Qingyu.

At that time, Xiao Fan was already a Taiyi True Immortal, and he set his sights on a million-year-old Nine-Turn Heavenly Origin Immortal Ginseng.

He wanted to capture it and bring it back to his mother.

Xiao Fan received loving guidance from his parents and learned the supreme holy Dharma.

Furthermore, he has Zu Long as his sparring partner, who has extensive practical experience.

It can be said that Xiao Fan's strength at that time was enough to crush a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he was not afraid even when facing a Daluo.

Capturing a ginseng that has become a spirit is a piece of cake.

But he didn't expect that the ginseng already had an owner.

It was the ginseng that Qingyu raised.

"Master, save me! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Qingyu appeared, stopped Xiao Fan, and saved the ginseng.

When Xiao Fan saw the newcomer, he was struck by her graceful figure, beautiful face, and pure, flawless aura—truly a peerless beauty.

What's even more surprising is that the woman in front of him has a powerful aura, and he can't see through her strength at all.

However, he was very confident.

Uncle Zulong said he was no match for me, and that I always beat him to a pulp.

How could a mere woman possibly withstand my onslaught?

"Um, I don't like hitting women, could you give me that ginseng in your back?"

"Since it already belongs to someone, I am willing to give you something in exchange."

Qingyu looked at the boy in front of her and said with interest, "Where did this kid come from, daring to take my things?"

"Pah! How would I know it's your ginseng? It's just waving it in front of me, isn't that trying to seduce me?"

"That's sophistry!"

"I have to teach you a lesson."

"Hey, you vixen, you won't listen to reason, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Fan felt incredibly powerful at the time and deliberately held back.

Whether he shows mercy or not, the result is the same.

But this earned a smile from Qingyu: "You dare to insult this holy demoness? Fine, I'll make you my doorman."

With his hands bound and his cultivation restricted, Xiao Fan was powerless to fight back and could only curse and swear:

"You vixen, don't push your luck, or I'll tell my mother and she'll teach you a lesson."

"I'm telling you, I'm very strong. If you don't let me go, I really will hit you."

Qingyu was amused by Xiao Fan.

She was very curious; whose child was so handsome and had such a funny way of speaking?

Xiao Fan was naturally unwilling to be forced to work as a doorman.

He thinks about escaping every day.

But each time it fell back into Qingyu's hands, countless times, in an endless cycle.

He felt he had to find another way.

Therefore, he directly became an apprentice.

"Sister, you are so beautiful and so powerful, please take me as your disciple."

"What, didn't you call me a witch?" Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

"Demoness Master, please accept me as your disciple, I will kowtow to you."

As he spoke, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times without hesitation.

Demoness Master...

Qingyu was completely amused by him. He showed no fear in the face of him and even dared to run away.

He calls her "demoness" as soon as he sees her, and then he calls her "demoness master." What an interesting guy.

"I never said I would take you as my disciple, so your kowtowing is pointless."

"Demoness Master, this is my own choice."

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Xiao Fan could only wait for his parents to discover that he was not at home and come to rescue him as soon as possible.

He endured humiliation and tried every means to please Qingyu.

All of this came to Qingyu's attention, and she thought Xiao Fan was a very interesting guy with good talent.

After a few back and forth, he agreed to take him as his apprentice, and their relationship gradually became closer as they spent more time together.

Ten years have passed, and Xiao Fan has grown to be twenty-five years old.

The childishness on his face had faded, although his naivety remained. However, he had matured with age, and now he possessed an extraordinary and ethereal aura.

Qingyu stared at him absentmindedly several times.

Xiao Fan's bewildered heart was pounding wildly. Why was Master Yu'er looking at me like that? Was it because she also...?

Xiao Fan: "Master Yu'er, I haven't been home for a long time. Can I go back for a visit?"

Qingyu: "Will you come back?"

Xiao Fan: "Can I tell my mom and then come back right away?"

Qingyu: "Don't lie to me, or I'll punish you severely."

Xiao Fan: "My most adorable, beautiful, charming, and gorgeous Shizun, how could I lie to you?"

Qingyu: "You smooth talker, get lost."

Xiao Fan: "I'm leaving now."

Qingyu watched Xiao Fan's departing figure and smiled sweetly, like a peach blossom in bloom.

That kid will probably come back, right? If he doesn't, I'll come and snatch him away.

...

...

Passing through a fairy city, Xiao Fan thought for a moment and decided to go in for a look and buy some small gifts for his mother.

Even if she gets angry, I can use these little gifts to appease her.

In the dead of winter, in a corner of the immortal city, a pair of helpless twin girls huddled together, clinging tightly to each other.

The slightly older little girl used her petite body to shield another little girl from the wind and snow.

However, it was to no avail.

Their clothes were thin, and the snow fell on their heads, making their faces pale and their bodies shiver with cold.

His youthful, innocent face was filled with pain.

Xiao Fan happened to pass by and, seeing this scene, was somewhat moved.

"Will you come with me?"

The older sister looked up, her eyes filled with wariness, and said, "No."

The little girl in her arms was shivering from the cold, calling out to her sister, "I'm cold."

Xiao Fan cast a fire spell, instantly warming the surroundings and clearing away the accumulated lightning above their heads.

"Are you really not leaving? I'm not a bad person."

The older sister looked at Xiao Fan, then glanced at her younger sister in her arms, and remained silent.

"Look at her, she won't last long in this snowy weather."

The older sister struggled internally, her face full of hesitation, but Xiao Fan simply took them away.

The older sister said weakly, "We...we don't have the money to pay you."

Xiao Fan laughed: "This young master does as he pleases. I don't need money, nor do I have any use for it."

Looking at his smiling face, his little mouth slightly open, she was very surprised, as if he were radiating light.

Xiao Fan rescued the two and took them home.

It was later learned that the two people did not have names, only that they were from the Lin family.

He named the older sister Lin Yuyue and the younger sister Lin Xinxi, meaning joy and happiness.

Why don't you go home?

Xinxi is sensitive, and when she thinks of that painful past, she can't stop crying.

Yu Yue hugged her, comforting her, and said to Xiao Fan:

"We were abandoned. The people in the clan said that my sister and I had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate. My father was also ashamed of us, saying that we had ruined his reputation and drove us out of the house."

"They even said the Lin family doesn't need people with mortal bodies."

Yu Yue clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with grievance and resentment.

After listening, Xiao Fan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He didn't say anything.

Perhaps out of pity, Xiao Fan instructed Zu Long to prepare celestial medicines and divine materials to transplant immortal roots into them, helping the two to undergo a complete transformation and embark on the path of immortality.

The two women were extremely grateful to Xiao Fan. Without him, the two sisters might have frozen to death on that cold snowy night.

They knew they were not good enough for Xiao Fan, but his brilliance was too dazzling, and even if the end result was death, they couldn't help but be drawn to him like moths to a flame.

...

...

Memories flashed before his eyes, reminding Xiao Fan of what he used to be like.

"I didn't realize I was so naive back then."

He chuckled to himself, unsure if he was laughing at his own naiveté back then.

Memories surge like a tidal wave, and continue to churn.

Before he was even a hundred years old, Xiao Fan had already ascended to the rank of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He slew the proud and powerful, mastered the sacred arts, seized the secrets of heaven, and even achieved the status of a Great Golden Immortal at the age of eight hundred.

Having just become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he dared to venture alone into the forbidden land, annihilating all the evil demons of the heavens, and single-handedly beheading ten Primordial Demon Lords, shaking the entire universe with his might.

Xiao Fan was young and successful, displaying a talent that left others in despair; none of his peers could surpass him.

Under his brilliance, both the new and old generations of geniuses paled in comparison.

Xiao Fan's destiny is too powerful; even the strongest geniuses throughout history could not achieve what he has today.

However, what is rigid is easily broken.

An unexpected dream left Xiao Fan drenched in cold sweat; it was a nightmare he would never forget.

He saw his own end in his dream.

die!

//309//

Chapter 309 Living Towards Death.

Born extraordinary, a prodigy, a promising young man, renowned throughout the world...

Each of these titles is one in a million, and all these unique titles have been bestowed upon Xiao Fan, making him the most dazzling sun of our time.

Especially when he became a Great Luo at the age of eight hundred and killed Hunyuan with his sword, his reputation reached its peak.

With such talent and strength, everyone else seems so insignificant in his presence.

Even Xiao Fan felt that he was the legendary chosen one!

However, while Xiao Fan was comprehending the Dao, a nightmare left him drenched in cold sweat.

"I'm going to die?"

His eyes were filled with disbelief, but the dream was fleeting and left no trace.

His intuition told him that everything in the dream was incredibly real, and that it was his future.

In his dream, he will be defeated by a chosen one who started from humble beginnings.

Along with his parents, Uncle Zulong, Master Qingyu, and the entire Xiao family, everything was destroyed in an instant.

He was so restless that he couldn't eat or sleep, so he sought out someone to divine the secrets of heaven, who discovered the person in his dream and killed him.

Just when he thought the danger was over, the strange dream recurred.

This time, however, the chosen one has a different face.

But the result remained unchanged.

Xiao Fan refused to believe in evil and kept killing.

Killing one chosen one will only lead to the emergence of a new chosen one, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

Xiao Fan chose to go into seclusion to comprehend the secrets of heaven and try to unravel the causes and consequences.

He immersed himself in the river of time, going back and forth, enduring the erosion of countless long years, trying to find a trace in the vast river of time.

He didn't know how many billions of years he had been immersed in the river of time; he only knew that he was constantly thinking of a way to break the spell.

One day, the system arrived.

It should be said that it is a systemic awakening.

Upon first encountering the system, Xiao Fan asked warily, "Who are you?"

[This system is called the Villain's Self-Saving System; you can think of it as a kind of opportunity.]

"Is it a stroke of luck?" Xiao Fan asked.

Ads by Pubfuture

Why are you invading my consciousness?

[This system did not intrude; it is merely a product of the host's will projected onto the river of time. It appeared due to the host's strong desire for self-preservation and is a glimmer of hope for the host in the dark.]

This system is a product of the host's self-awareness and a combination of circumstances; the host can understand this system as an auxiliary means.

"You say I'm the villain, and you're my only chance?"

[indeed. ]

"You might as well explain it more clearly."

[The host is exceptionally born, with both parents being kings; an absolute prodigy, a true winner in life.]

[But you don't have the protagonist's halo; you're just a powerful supporting villain, destined to die at the hands of the chosen one.]

[The host knows to take preventative measures, killing the chosen ones in their infancy, but this is only a temporary solution, as the flow of fortune continues, and the chosen ones will never truly perish.]

People have always praised the underdog's triumph and the strong's downfall.

Taking pleasure in others' misfortunes is an inherently evil trait in human nature.

The will of the people throughout the myriad realms is the ultimate destination of destiny: the underdog's rise to power, crushing the pride of powerful families, and marrying a wealthy heiress.

[The host is the greatest prodigy. The more extraordinary and outstanding your talent, the greater your achievements. When you are overthrown by a chosen one who started from humble beginnings, the greater the prestige and fame the chosen one gains.]

Xiao Fan didn't understand, and he said, "Why me?"

[Because the host is too outstanding and too dazzling, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, making him the perfect stepping stone.]

This is a battle of fate. If heaven doesn't favor us, then we'll seize it ourselves. Sitting idly by and waiting to be defeated is not our style.

Xiao Fan pondered for a long time before saying, "Do you have a solution?"

Yes, there is life even in the face of death.

Having died once, his memories are sealed, and his destiny is blurred. He then devours the destiny of the chosen one, making the chosen one his woman, forcibly seizing her destiny, thus breaking the curse.

"It is easier said than done to gradually erode one's destiny."

Therefore, from now on, the host should begin making plans.

Our enemy is not any person; our enemy is destiny. We must devour it, swallow it up, and make it a weapon in our hands.

We villains never wait for fate to decide our destiny; we believe it's in our own hands.

To live in the face of death?

Xiao Fan had an idea in mind: rather than waiting for the nightmare to come, he should take the initiative.

He didn't tell anyone, because the fewer people who knew, the better.

Xiao Fan cultivated silently, and his cultivation level steadily increased.

He spent nine eras progressing from a sage to a Heavenly Dao Sage, a Great Dao Sage, and a Transcendent and Free Sage.

And he is only one step away from advancing to the pinnacle of the Saintly Path: the Supreme Immortal Saint of Chaos!

However, he always concealed his cultivation level, only showing the Primordial Chaos Realm to the outside world, and began to restrain his sharpness.

No one knew his true cultivation level, not even his parents.

During this time, Xiao Fan didn't just bury himself in cultivation; he also prepared various tools for himself.

For example, he collected various divine materials to forge the Fortune-Plundering Sword, which was created specifically to kill those with good fortune.

After countless hardships, I forged a dark mask and learned to hide.

Another thing is that he experienced nine lifetimes of illusory destiny, condensing a virtual destiny.

All of this was done in order to dilute my view of fate.

"In the end, you have to find a reasonable reason to die."

Xiao Fan set his sights on the Holy Temple.

The temple claims to be the source of the immortal lineage, and all living beings and spirits can worship there, giving it a very prestigious reputation.

At the same time, the temple is also the largest gathering place for the chosen ones of destiny in the immortal realm.

Only by dying at the hands of the temple could his willingness to live towards death form a truly perfect closed loop.

Because dying at the hands of the Temple means he died at the hands of the Chosen One.

Only a plan that deceives the heavens can be considered successful.

Moreover, the Temple has always held a grudge against Xiao Fan.

The Temple had publicly recruited Xiao Fan, hoping that this most amazing genius in history would join the Temple.

Xiao Fan had already become Qing Yu's disciple, so it was impossible for him to join the Holy Temple. Therefore, he declined the offer.

This made the Temple feel embarrassed; they had never been rejected before when they publicly offered to accept disciples!

For this reason, the Temple had privately warned Xiao Fan.

However, when Xiao Fan's father learned of this, he immediately killed several elders of the Holy Temple.

"My son can do whatever he wants. It's none of your business to dictate his decisions. If you keep arguing, I will kill every single one of you from the Temple."

Ads by Pubfuture

This created enmity between the two families.

However, while the Temple is powerful, the Xiao family is not weak either.

Both sides remained silent.

Xiao Fan knew this was an opportunity.

He created a sacred secret realm to facilitate the hunting of temple disciples within it.

It can both eliminate hidden dangers and anger the temple.

As expected, the temple was fooled.

After a large number of elders and disciples of the Holy Temple perished, and the truth was revealed, the Holy Temple prepared to take revenge and besiege Xiao Fan.

This is why the Temple said that Xiao Fan was the calamity that would destroy the world.

Because he was actually hunting down the disciples of the Temple.

Following the temple's wishes, Xiao Fan threw himself into the game, facing death to live.

With Xiao Fan's strength at that time, which transcended that of a Saint of Freedom, even the Holy Temple was no match for him.

But the temple is a place where fortune gathers and the beliefs of all living beings converge.

Even someone as powerful as Transcendent and Free as himself cannot contend with it.

He chose to seal away his memories and walk towards death.

Later, he was saved by his parents.

Even if his parents couldn't save him, Xiao Fan had a backup plan; he wouldn't risk his life.

There was some deception involved, which caused his mother, Ling Yueqian, to shed tears, but there was nothing that could be done; if you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself first.

Moreover, he was trying to deceive the very fate of all things, so he had to make sure it was done flawlessly.

The various arrangements involved took him nearly ten epochs to complete, and today, they can finally be revealed.

"Because I am the most dazzling, they use me as a stepping stone. Luck really is unreasonable."

Xiao Fan had an epiphany.

"However, I don't have the habit of being a stepping stone."

//310//

Chapter 310 Golden Clouds, Undergoing the Test.

Memories surfaced one by one, and Xiao Fan recalled the layout of the ten eras in his previous life.

"System, I have virtualized and hidden my destiny, so my luck cannot backfire on me."

"The next step is to devour each of the chosen ones one by one, either by killing them outright or by humiliating them until their Dao heart collapses and they die in disgrace."

"What you need to do is keep an eye out for the Chosen Ones for me, every single one, better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," Xiao Fan said indifferently, without a trace of emotion.

[Happy to serve.]

"By the way, don't help me extract my cultivation from my previous life yet, keep it for now."

"When I return to this life, free and unfettered, I will refine the fortune that has been swallowed up and make it my own."

"I suppose that when that time comes, I will be able to ascend to the highest holy realm by transferring my cultivation from my previous life into this body."

[Happy to serve.]

Xiao Fan regained his memories, but he was not upset or annoyed by the matter of luck. On the contrary, he enjoyed it.

Because he has broken free from the game of fate and become a player.

To struggle against heaven, against earth, and against man is an endless source of joy.

Let's see how many generations you, the chosen one, can last under the scythe of my hand.

At this time, Jiang Lanzhi's tribulation to become a Grand Luo Immortal had also ended.

She stared at Xiao Fan, somewhat lost in thought.

It was clearly the same person, yet he exuded a sense of age and vicissitude, while his face remained that of a young man. This strange combination made Jiang Lanzhi quite fond of him.

She arrived, stepping on clouds and accompanied by a fragrant breeze, and landed beside Xiao Fan.

"Husband, why are you spacing out?" Jiang Lanzhi waved her hand in front of Xiao Fan.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking how lucky I am to have met you, Lanzhi."

"Glib-tongued and never serious."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Lanzhi gave him a coquettish glare, then naturally took his arm.

"Let's go back."

"Um."

...

...

When Xiao Fan awakened his memories of his past life.

Within the forbidden sacred mountain of the temple, the once peaceful and tranquil golden clouds began to stir.

The clear blue sky was now shrouded in a hazy gray veil, with occasional flashes of black lightning making it impossible to look directly at it.

Golden clouds, intangible things, yet they resonate with intention.

"What's going on? My luck is still increasing, so why do I feel a sense of crisis?"

The golden clouds, both formless and tangible, transformed into a golden compass that began to rotate on its own.

But its pointer kept spinning, and no one could figure out what it was trying to do.

"Strange, why can't I find the reason?"

"Who can escape my perception?"

The golden clouds couldn't understand. Everything in the world was under its control, so how could someone have escaped its control?

"Am I just overthinking it?"

The golden clouds couldn't understand, so they sent a thought that was engraved on the stone slip and then flung it out of the sacred mountain.

"Let these temple disciples and elders help me find out."

"No, we need double insurance. I will spread the fortune throughout the heavens and create even more people with fortune."

From within the golden clouds, strands of golden silk flew out, spreading across the myriad realms and connecting to countless insignificant figures.

They were either orphans, looked down upon, jilted at marriage, or cheated on from the start—their situations were all different and varied.

But they all share a common characteristic: they were all looked down upon and ridiculed, leading bitter and tragic first halves of their lives.

From the moment the golden thread connected them, they seemed to have divine assistance, and everything went smoothly for them.

Go out and find treasures; even a piece of toilet paper found on the roadside is a secret martial arts manual.

He was clearly an ordinary man, yet a young lady from a prominent family fell for him, declaring she couldn't live without him. This was solely because of his unwavering gaze.

The ruins of the dilapidated sect had remained untouched for tens of thousands of years, yet as soon as they arrived, a secret realm appeared, as if everything had come for them.

There are countless examples like this.

The gears of fate began to turn.

...

...

Eternal Immortal Realm, Holy Academy.

During the time Xiao Fan accompanied Jiang Lanzhi on her journey to overcome her tribulation.

Miao Xiaoqing ascended to the position of Saint and successfully became the leader of the Temple Training Camp.

She was in charge of all personnel arrangements, from the accompanying elders to the servants.

The moment she got this power, her first thought was to go to the Jade Pool Immortal Realm and summon her master to be her servant...

Even a servant in disguise is still a servant!

Meow meow meow~~

Unfortunately, Xiao Fan wasn't there, which shattered her illusions.

She lost interest and had her subordinates arrange the training camp roster.

"Why is my master still serving me like a servant? In two months, we'll be heading to the temple for intensive training."

Miao Xiaoqing said listlessly, lost in thought.

She rested her hands on the table, her delicate little feet dangling from her slender legs, swaying back and forth. Her usually lively cat ears were now drooping.

It has lost its vitality.

Just then, a female disciple called out from outside the door:

"My Lord, the results of the magical contest are in. Please take a look."

Miao Xiaoqing's sullen face instantly turned serious, her cat ears tucked down, and she became aloof and solemn, like an iceberg.

Her voice was neither sad nor happy; she said calmly:

"Bring it here."

"Yes, ma'am."

The spots for the Temple Training Camp are extremely precious, and every disciple wants to squeeze in.

To ensure fairness, the Holy Academy used an examination system to select the best candidates.

There are many intricacies involved, for example...

After the rankings are announced, they are first reviewed by the saints.

After confirming that everything was correct, the list was handed over to the dean for final confirmation as the training camp member list.

If Miao Xiaoqing wanted to, crossing out or adding a few people from the list she was handling would be an easy thing to do.

For this reason, many disciples and elders sent her small gifts.

It roughly means that the saints have worked hard and made great contributions, which is truly admirable. These small gifts are not meant to express our respect, but we hope that the saints can lead our holy college to glory.

It was nothing more than polite pleasantries.

There's a hidden meaning in his words.

Miao Xiaoqing knew what they meant; they wanted her to lend a hand and add their names to the list of Saints Training Camp.

Miao Xiaoqing was unhappy. "I look like a fair and honest cat. You're testing me with this?"

She was about to throw these things back when she accidentally discovered that there were seven third-grade immortal artifacts, five sets of treasure immortal dresses, and three bottles of first-grade immortal pills inside.

A meager salary of a hundred million.

She felt that occasionally facing challenges was part of a cat's life.

"This cat went so far as to seduce its master for the position of saint, losing its body and paying a painful price of meowing. It's only fair to collect some interest, isn't it?"

She convinced herself that she had passed the test!

Looking through the list of people, she decided to remove a few disciples and add those who were sincere.

"Zhang San has been a disciple of the Holy Academy for eight hundred years and is currently in the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm."

"Li Si has been a disciple of the Holy Academy for nine hundred years and is currently at the early stage of True Immortal."

"...Currently at the late stage of Celestial Immortal."

"...Currently at the mid-stage of True Immortal."

"..."

"Qin Chen has been a disciple of the Holy Academy for three years. He recently returned home, humiliated the woman who had broken off his engagement, and brutally killed his enemy who was two major realms higher than him. He is currently in the mid-stage of Earth Immortal."

Miao Xiaoqing's gaze fell on a line of eye-catching words: "Mid-stage Earth Immortal".

Among a string of disciples whose realms were all Celestial Immortal or True Immortal, seeing a mere Earth Immortal was quite surprising.

"He's only been in the Holy Land for three years, which means he doesn't have a deep foundation. Being rejected by the engagement means his family isn't wealthy either. You're the one!"

"As for the reason, it's because my cultivation level is too low and my qualifications are insufficient. I still need more experience."

Miao Xiaoqing crossed out Qin Chen's name and wrote down the reason for his elimination.

Then she wrote down the names of the disciples who had expressed their sincerity to her in the same spot.

Her actions were compliant and reasonable; after all, as the team leader, she had the authority to decide the fate of individual members.

After reviewing the list, she had her subordinates send it away for the dean to confirm.

The dean's confirmation process is just a formality; in reality, the list that Miao Xiaoqing sends out is the final personnel list.

Before long, the list of trainees for the temple was announced and posted on the notice board of the Holy Academy.

Many disciples stepped forward to watch, hoping to see their names on the list.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu! You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful."

"Heh, just lucky."

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, you've made it onto the list! When you return from the Holy Temple, you'll surely soar to great heights."

"Sigh, I almost made it, but unfortunately I missed it by a hair's breadth."

Some are happy, some are sad.

at this time.

A young man in white with a resolute face, sharp eyes and bright eyebrows, and a chiseled appearance, walked through the crowd and stood in front of the notice board.

He looked at the list with a faint smile and full of confidence.

"With my strength, getting into the Temple's training camp is a piece of cake."

As he read through the names in the first column, Qin Chen remained completely unmoved.

After all, there's a difference in their levels of understanding, so he couldn't possibly rank higher on the list; he was aware of that much.

But the further he read, the more serious his expression became.

Because he looked at seven-tenths of it and didn't see his own name.

With a heavy heart, I read through the entire list and found that Qin Chen's name was nowhere to be found.

He thought he had missed something, so he looked at it more than ten times, and finally confirmed that his name was indeed not there.

Qin Chen shouted:

"How could I have failed the exam? There must be something fishy going on, there must be something fishy going on!"

"I want to report this list; there's something wrong with it."

Friendly reminder: If you like this book, please add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it later!

Chapter 311 Qin Chen's Plan, Lingyan Requests an Audience

Qin Chen's shouting attracted the attention of the surrounding disciples.

Everyone turned their attention to him, only to discover that he was just an Earth Immortal cultivator.

They turned their attention back to the list, where even the person with the lowest cultivation level was a Celestial Immortal.

Between Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals, there is a vast realm called Mysterious Immortal.

No one believed that a mere Earth Immortal could be on the list; they all thought he was just trying to attract attention.

"No, are you dreaming? Do you want to see what level you're at?"

"Little brother, what's going on? I, a celestial being, don't even dare to speak, yet you, a mere earth immortal, dare to make such a racket here."

"Is this guy out of his mind?"

Qin Chen felt aggrieved.

He usually only focused on consolidating his foundation and did not improve his cultivation level, so he is currently only at the Earth Immortal level.

No wonder nobody believed him.

"What do you know? I'm a genius who can kill enemies even if they're above my level!" Qin Chen shouted.

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

You made everyone laugh.

"That's laughable. What do you think the Holy Academy is? Do you think any of you here would be standing here if you didn't have the ability to kill enemies across ranks?"

"Where did this little punk come from? Don't think you're the only one who can kill enemies above your level, do you?"

"I guess he's a new disciple who thinks he's destined for greatness. You have to know this is the Holy Academy, a place where geniuses gather."

"Who isn't a prodigy! Each and every one of the people standing here is a genius."

Qin Chen was rendered speechless by the barrage of words from his disciples.

What they said made perfect sense, and Qin Chen couldn't even refute them.

Qin Chen felt bitter inside. "I'm so pathetic. I always suppress my progress when I'm about to break through."

Each major realm is suppressed ten or eight times, just to stay longer and solidify the foundation.

And, play dumb for a while longer to outsmart others.

"You don't believe me? I can prove it to you."

"I can set up a challenge and fight you one-on-one. Among the celestial immortals, I am invincible, and above the true immortals, I can trade one for one."

Qin Chen became a little anxious and shouted.

"No, buddy, it's no use you proving it to us. We can't decide the list."

"I think he's not only prone to daydreaming, but he's probably not very bright either."

"I propose that the next Holy Academy's apprenticeship assessment include an IQ test."

"Agreed. Standing next to him makes me feel like my IQ has dropped."

"Does he have a kind of intellectually disabled quality?"

Qin Chen was so angry that he trembled all over, and a chill rose from his heels, making him shiver.

I'm so cold and shivering!

No one cared about Qin Chen's thoughts; everyone looked at him with the same kind of pity one would show to a fool.

Another one has gone mad.

Qin Chen's gaze was resolute, and he made a silent vow in his heart.

"No one can take away the spot that belongs to me."

"No!"

Qin Chen was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger, though he always knew how to be patient.

He pondered to himself.

If he achieves top marks in the Temple training, he can remain in the Temple to pursue his spiritual path.

The Holy Temple has a sage presiding over it, and its environment, magical arts, and facilities are all better than those of the Holy Academy.

This is not to say that the Holy Temple is bad.

The Temple is better than the Holy Court!

"With my current physique, the shortage of cultivation resources is too great. If we were to make a quantitative comparison, a cultivator of my level would only need one resource to break through."

"And my breakthrough is at least a hundred times greater than theirs!"

"This is only the low level. As my cultivation level increases, the shortage of cultivation resources will become larger and larger. At that time, I may need a thousand times or even ten thousand times more resources than an ordinary cultivator to break through the realm."

"And the Holy Academy would probably have a hard time supporting my terrifyingly resource-intensive constitution."

From any perspective, Qin Chen wanted to seize this training opportunity and enter the Temple.

Most importantly, once I get to the temple, I can definitely play dumb and show off my skills.

"The reason I rejected Senior Sister Wu not long ago was not because she was not pretty, but because her family background was too ordinary and she was not a good match for a proud man like me."

"Only the women from the temple can barely catch my eye, after all, my potential is worthy of their family background!"

Qin Chen pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.

He smirked, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"I said I would enter the Temple for intensive training, and no one can stop me!"

...

...

Back at the Jade Pool Palace, Jiang Lanzhi loosened her grip appropriately.

She enjoyed being with Xiao Fan, but she didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

Yu Yue and Xin Xi, among others, also need his company.

Holding on too tightly would make Xiao Fan uncomfortable and might actually cause him to lose her affection.

She needs to calm down and cultivate, and spend some time adapting to her current Hunyuan cultivation level.

"My lord, I'm going into seclusion now. Let the other sisters keep you company," Jiang Lanzhi said softly.

"Tell me if you need anything, and I'll arrange it for you," Xiao Fan said softly as he pulled her into his arms.

"Um."

Xiao Fan escorted Jiang Lanzhi back home, while he himself returned to his own villa.

As soon as he entered, he found that people had been waiting for him for a long time.

"You're back."

When Lingyan saw Xiao Fan again, she didn't know how to face him.

A Daoist partner?

But he seemed to only want to put himself and Nana together, the three of them repairing the chain, which seemed to excite him.

Although she could feel love during the process, she always felt that it was just lustful affection.

Xiao Fan looked at Ling Yan, who was slightly reserved, and chuckled, "What's up? Is there something you need?"

Lingyan smiled and said, "Yes, a little."

She was very polite and reserved, unsure of Xiao Fan's attitude towards her.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Fan went over, took her hand, and arranged a seat for her.

He said in a very calm tone:

"I've said it before, you're my woman, so just tell me what's on your mind."

Lingyan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

His woman? The thought made me a little excited.

"My brother, well, the Heavenly Demon Blood Emperor asked if we could exchange some immortal techniques, because he wants the Heavenly Demon Clan to cultivate the path of immortality."

"If possible, he also wants to send female geniuses of the Demon Clan into the Jade Pool Immortal Palace to cultivate, in order to consolidate the relationship between the two major forces."

"Look, could you make an exception for this?"

"Of course, we are willing to pay the price and will not let the Celestial Palace suffer losses."

Lingyan spoke softly and clearly, explaining her purpose.

However, Xiao Fan didn't like it very much.

Xiao Fan: "What did you call me again?"

Lingyan: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "You are my woman, what should you call me?"

"Husband, my lord." Lingyan blushed. Although they had been intimate, the change in her words was still hard for her to accept.

"Yes, that's how you'll address me from now on."

"I understand, my husband," Lingyan said with a smile and a nod, though her voice was a little soft, barely audible, as if she were a mosquito.

Everything has a beginning, and this is good enough.

Xiao Fan said, "You're cultivating immortal techniques, right? That's no problem."

"You can also join the Celestial Palace. I'll have Yu Yue arrange it for you."

"Really? Husband?" Lingyan said with surprise, she hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

"Of course it's true," Xiao Fan nodded.

The Heavenly Demon Blood Emperor is his father-in-law and brother-in-law, so it's reasonable for him to give him some favors.

Excitement mixed with her true feelings, Lingyan couldn't help but hug Xiao Fan.

A soft, warm body threw herself into Xiao Fan's arms, offering him a sweet kiss.

"My husband, thank you," Lingyan said, her face flushed.

"A sneak attack?" Xiao Fan laughed.

He held Lingyan's slender waist with one hand and patted her buttocks with the other, making a crisp "smack" sound.

"Ah!" Lingyan exclaimed in surprise, realizing that she had provoked his anger.

"Husband, I... I didn't mean to," Ling Yan said, her legs stiff and her face flushed as she lowered her head.

"An insincere apology? Kneel down."

Lingyan's body trembled, her face flushed, and the allure of the Pure Desire Saint Demon naturally emerged, with a pair of small, round, purple demon horns peeking out from her forehead.

She knelt down.

Xiao Fan gently patted her head, and Ling Yan understood immediately, though she felt a little embarrassed.

...

Hmm...

...

"Aunt Lingyan, why are you here again?" Nana asked Lingyan curiously.

Xiao Fan: "She came to ask you to hang out together."

Nana's expression changed; her eyes were like autumn water, and her face flushed red. This...

This isn't playing, it's being...played, okay?

Well, if you can't resist, just cooperate. That way you can still enjoy it.

//312///

Chapter 312 Resurrect, my people!

While Xiao Fan was fully engaged in his cultivation.

The Holy Academy, on the dueling platform.

That's right, now it's one of the classic tropes of the Chosen One: set up a ring and have a one-on-one duel!

Qin Chen adopted a stance, declaring his intention to challenge the disciple at the bottom of the training camp rankings, and loudly proclaimed:

"I'm not targeting any one of you, I'm saying that everyone I've named is trash."

As expected of the chosen one, his taunting skills are maxed out.

Who could stand being publicly mocked like that? Even a clay figure has some temper!

Those whose names were called by Qin Chen went up on stage one by one to challenge him to a one-on-one duel.

As expected, they were all defeated by Qin Chen.

This made everyone look at him with new respect. A mere Earth Immortal cultivator had defeated a group of Celestial Immortals; it seemed he did indeed possess some strength.

"No wonder he was yelling there, saying there was something wrong with the list."

"Turns out he really does have some skills."

"Indeed, but his cultivation level was too low at the time, so it's normal for him to be eliminated. After all, it seems unreasonable for a mere Earth Immortal."

"That's true, it's just that his skill level is too low."

Qin Chen listened to the whispers from the audience, many of which were full of praise and admiration, which pleased him greatly.

He said smugly, "I told you, there's something wrong with that list. With my current abilities, there's absolutely no way I could be left out."

"The list of trainees for the Temple must have gone wrong somewhere."

The news of what happened here quickly reached Miao Xiaoqing's ears.

She was furious.

"Damn it, setting up a ring for one-on-one duels? Do you think this is child's play?"

"The list was decided by me, and to say there's a problem with it in public is to question my authority?!"

Miao Xiaoqing was very angry. This Qin Chen was really a troublemaker. He dared to question her after only three years of training.

Is he trying to get himself removed from this position by letting him stay for a few more years?

This is intolerable!

She immediately issued the order, saying:

"Qin Chen has shown contempt for the Holy Majesty and questioned me. This is truly an act of insubordination and disrespect for elders."

"Guards, seize Qin Chen and imprison him in the Holy Academy's Blackwater Prison for a hundred years."

"Yes, ma'am."

On one side are disciples who have only been with the school for three years.

On one side are the newly ordained saints.

Their status is incomparable.

No one would risk offending the rising star, Miao Xiaoqing, for the sake of a hothead.

Soon, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall received orders and set off to capture Qin Chen.

Throw him into the Blackwater prison!

Looking at the neat line, Qin Chen assumed they were there to present him with an award.

He was pleased with himself; sure enough, my challenge had worked.

The effect was indeed noticeable.

The disciple leading the group spoke solemnly and respectfully:

"Qin Chen disregarded the dignity of the saints, committed treason, and showed no respect for the law."

"Take him down and take him to the Blackwater Prison. Imprison him for a hundred years."

Qin Chen was completely stunned when he heard this.

Huh? Confinement? For a hundred years?!

Before he could react, a set of dark iron shackles bound his feet, and cold, thick iron chains wrapped around him.

Qin tried to resist, but a blow from the stick left him bleeding from the mouth and with his front teeth knocked out.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"A cover-up!"

With a snap, the thorny iron chain swept down, hitting his back hard and tearing out bloody bits of flesh.

"Disobeying orders and attempting to rebel against the Enforcement Hall is an even more serious crime!"

"I refuse to accept this..."

Snap!

"Still dare to be stubborn? Add another level."

The whip lashed Qin Chen over a hundred times, but his resolute gaze never wavered. He said hatefully, "If you have the guts, then kill me today. Don't let me live."

"Otherwise, the day I make something of myself, I'll be the first to settle scores with you."

Snap!

Qin Chen was really stubborn; even with his skin torn and bleeding, he was still yelling.

However, this did not change his fate.

He was imprisoned in the Blackwater dungeon, locked in the deepest level.

It is rumored to be a forbidden place, and no one who has ever come out alive from that level.

But who exactly is Qin Chen?

As a chosen one, perilous situations are equivalent to secret realms.

A secret realm is equivalent to a super secret realm.

Inside, he encountered an old senior, who was an enemy suppressed there by Zhu Tong.

This enemy, who was ruthless and cruel, took a liking to Qin Chen's stubborn nature and forced him to teach him magic and become his disciple.

They gave him a treasure map, saying it contained a great treasure.

However, the price is that Qin Chen must be rescued once he becomes powerful.

Qin Chen agreed without hesitation.

"It's just a vow anyway, who knows what will happen in the future? I'll just agree to it first," Qin Chen thought to himself.

In the days that followed, with the old man's help, Qin Chen's cultivation level soared as if he had a cheat code.

He was undergoing tribulation in prison, which triggered an astonishing phenomenon that alarmed the elders of the Holy Academy.

Having crossed two major realms, the earth-shattering tribulation lightning blasted through the prison gates of the Blackwater Prison, allowing Qin Chen to escape.

Qin Chen kept protesting his innocence, saying that there was something fishy about the rankings.

The elders, seeing that he had actually survived such a terrifying ordeal in the Blackwater Prison, concluded that he must be an unparalleled genius.

He then reported the matter to Zhu Tong.

After learning about the situation, Zhu Tong considered it carefully.

Without a doubt, he would support Miao Xiaoqing.

"I have just established a new saint. Is questioning her authority not questioning my own judgment?"

"I reviewed the list last. Although it was just a formality, it still passed my scrutiny. Are you implying that I neglected my duties by questioning the list?"

"Moreover, as a new disciple, you've caused such a commotion. If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think the Holy Academy is your private property."

Zhu Tong was even more ruthless, his sentence was doubled, and he was imprisoned for eight hundred years.

Perhaps this is the fate of those chosen by destiny; being suppressed is their destiny.

Qin Chen originally thought that by displaying his unparalleled talent, he would be valued, but he did not expect to receive an extra long sentence.

He was disheartened.

"Okay, okay, is this how you play it?"

"Today you ignore me, tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention."

"It's better to leave this sacred institution."

"If the Holy Academy is unkind to me, don't blame me for being ruthless," Qin Chen sneered.

This time, Qin Chen did not surrender easily.

He first knocked out the disciple who had captured him, then sneaked into the Holy Academy's medicinal field and looted all the mature spiritual herbs in the field.

He then impersonated a medicine delivery boy and sneaked into the Pill Pavilion.

He cleaned out all the pills in the pill pavilion.

This isn't over yet.

He took out some of the pills he obtained from the Pill Pavilion, which could induce hallucinations, and threw them into the Immortal Beast Mountain where the Holy Academy fed great demons.

This sparked riots.

All of the above may be difficult for others, but for the chosen ones, it's as easy as having hands.

"Since we've come all this way, we can't leave empty-handed, can we? Consider these things as compensation from the Holy Academy."

After looting everything, Qin Chen left behind a mess and walked away.

But he seemed to have forgotten his own people.

Passive triggered: Extermination of the entire race.

This incident caused a great shock within the Holy Academy.

"What? Qin Chen dug up the medicinal herb field and ransacked the Pill Pavilion?"

"How did he do that?"

"I knew that kid had ill intentions; he was definitely hiding his cultivation level and strength."

"Yes, otherwise how could someone break through two major realms in such a short period of time?"

"In that case, the saints must have seen through his trick long ago, which is why they removed him from the list."

"Damn it, we've all been scammed!"

"The saint has a discerning eye and the ability to recognize people; she must know something."

"Yes, I almost misunderstood the saint."

"This guy robbed the Holy Academy, he must have a death wish."

The Holy Academy was furious and issued an order to arrest Qin Chen.

But Qin Chen had already fled.

But his family is still alive.

The Holy Church turned its anger on his family and exterminated his entire clan.

When Qin Chen remembered this incident, all that remained was endless regret.

"Family members, does anyone understand?!"

"It really wasn't my intention to harm you. I never imagined that the Holy Academy would be so vicious as to implicate you."

Looking at the desolate, scorched earth, Qin Chen shed two tears and gritted his teeth, saying:

"The hatred of your family's extermination is irreconcilable! Holy Academy, I will surely wipe out your entire family!"

"Father, uncles, brothers."

"Just you wait, until I have achieved mastery of my cultivation."

"I will resurrect you!"

He looked at the scorched earth and kowtowed three times.

With this, Qin Chen completed the main quest of sacrificing his clansmen.

With the blood of all our people, we will carve our goal into our hearts.

Rise, my people!

//313//

Chapter 313 Enraged to the point of vomiting blood, he created his own Taoist magic.

Offending Qin Chen, the chosen one of destiny, would throw the entire Holy Academy into chaos.

Zhu Tong was so angry that his face turned red, but his emotions seemed a bit exaggerated and unrealistic.

"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!"

"You can't even keep an eye on a mere disciple? What are you all good for?!"

Zhu Tong roared and cursed at the elders.

The elders below the hall were timid and dared not utter a word; they could only listen to his reprimand.

"Are you mute?"

"What are you waiting for? Go find him! He's uprooted all my medicinal fields and stolen all the pills from the Pill Pavilion, he's doomed!"

Zhu Tong's insults were extremely harsh, cursing Qin Chen's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Although Qin Chen's ancestors for eighteen generations combined are not as old as Zhu Tong.

Hearing these harsh insults, the elders, especially the elders of the Dan Pavilion, stood up indignantly.

"Don't worry, Dean, I will kill him and bring his head back to you."

After saying that, he immediately led his team to give chase.

But that was just polite talk; Qin Chen had at least helped him settle his mess.

As an elder of the Pill Pavilion, it's perfectly reasonable for him to collect a few pills on a regular basis to test their effects.

As an elder of the Pill Pavilion, it's quite reasonable for me to occasionally go to the herb field to observe the growth of the immortal herbs and pluck a few.

He had occasionally taken a few extra pills or picked a few extra medicinal herbs, causing discrepancies in the accounts, and he was worried about how to resolve the issue.

Can Qin Chen be arrested?

Of course, you can't arrest them. If you arrest them and count the numbers, and find that the difference is too big, wouldn't that expose the truth?

Although Qin Chen broke through two major realms, from Earth Immortal to Profound Immortal and then to Celestial Immortal.

But in the eyes of these elders, he was nothing more than a little Karami.

Could he really manage to uproot the medicinal fields and steal all the elixirs right under the noses of these old foxes?

Zhu Tong was well aware of this.

However, the elders of the Pill Pavilion often gave him pills, all of which were extremely precious and suitable for Hunyuan cultivators.

He'll vent his anger, he'll take the pills, and he'll do it again next time.

Perfect, let's call it even!

The blame rests entirely on Qin Chen.

...

...

On the other side, Qin Chen was running away frantically.

Qin Chen felt very lucky.

He managed to escape even when a Taiyi Golden Immortal elder led a team of over a thousand Celestial Immortal disciples who tried to surround and intercept him from all directions.

"I feel like that elder is a bit stupid. He can never hit me. It always feels like he misses. Not only that, the shockwave from his attacks helps me speed up. Isn't that helping me escape?"

"With this kind of strength, they call themselves Taiyi Golden Immortals? No wonder there was no one around when I stole the medicine. These elders are really just wasting their lives, they're utterly useless."

In an instant.

Qin Chen felt that everyone else was an idiot, and only he was a genius.

"We were in a rush at the time, so we just grabbed whatever we could find without having time to look at it closely. Now it's a good time to take stock of what we've gained."

Qin Chen took out two storage bags, tossed them in his hands with a big smile, they were heavy, clearly indicating a bountiful harvest.

He opened the medicine bottle with a grin.

He turned the bottle upside down, and only a few Foundation Establishment Pills came out with a clatter.

Yes, it's the Foundation Establishment Pill used by cultivators in the mortal realm.

Qin Chen's face fell; he felt cheated.

"Even a dog wouldn't eat your grandmother's Foundation Establishment Pill!"

He continued driving, and the next thing he saw made him want to vomit blood.

"They've even released fasting pills?!"

Qin Chen was dumbfounded. This was even lower-grade than the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Even dogs would shake their heads at that.

He opened the bottles one by one, and in the end, about 80% of them were empty, which made the Foundation Building Pill and Bigu Pill seem very precious.

"I went through all sorts of trouble to steal just a few bottles of Foundation Building Pills, Bigu Pills, and these empty bottles?"

Qin Chen was filled with disbelief. You can't just fool people like that!

Still feeling uneasy, he looked towards another storage bag.

When divine sense probed into it, what were originally various precious immortal herbs that were millions of years old had all become weeds.

Forget about elixirs, there wasn't even a single immortal herb.

"Damn it, you beast! You beast!"

He stomped his feet in anger.

"Trying to fool me with weeds."

Upon closer reflection, it seems that he triggered a magic circle when he entered the herb field.

At first, he thought it was a defensive formation for the herb field.

But the protective shield didn't open, and he thought he was overthinking it.

Looking back now, it was an illusion; he was probably just being made to remove the weeds.

Thinking about this, Qin Chen felt like dying.

"I sacrificed my entire clan, and you give me these pills that even dogs wouldn't eat and a pile of weeds."

"Holy Academy, you've gone too far! I swear I will never forgive you!!"

Qin Chen roared to the sky, and when he was furious, he actually spat out a mouthful of black blood and fainted.

Qin Chen wasn't the only one who lost blood; Xiao Fan also lost a large amount of his essence blood.

That's true. In cultivation, injuries are inevitable, and it's normal to occasionally lose some essence and blood.

Moreover, he was going to face two witches with pure lust and holy demonic physiques.

"Husband, are you not going to continue your cultivation?" Nana asked, still wanting more.

This time, only a month had passed in the world outside the book, which felt rather short, causing Nana to feel anxious and uneasy.

Does that mean he no longer finds himself or Aunt Lingyan attractive?

"Yes, I need to take some time to spend with Yu Yue and Xin Xi," Xiao Fan said.

Things have priorities, and it's clear that Yu Yue and Xin Xi hold more weight in his heart.

"My lord, let me help you," Lingyan said softly, her face flushed and her body radiating spring-like tenderness.

She skillfully helped Xiao Fan bathe and change clothes, demonstrating an exceptionally high learning ability.

Nana assisted Lingyan from the side, following her instructions.

Xiao Fan spent another half a day with the two of them before ending the cultivation session.

Lingyan grew more and more enamored with Xiao Fan. He was strong, handsome, and highly skilled—the perfect partner.

Nana was the same. Although she was forced to accept it at first, it didn't seem that terrible. He was a nice person.

Xiao Fan went to see Yu Yue and Xin Xi. The two were delighted to see Xiao Fan.

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation.

In order to make it easier to meet his woman, Xiao Fan suddenly had a brilliant idea: could he create a magic technique similar to teleportation?

All you need to do is leave a mark on your women, and you can appear before them anytime, anywhere, whenever you want to see them.

Yu Yue and Xin Xi were also very interested when they heard this.

Meeting anytime, anywhere—just thinking about it is exciting.

Xiao Fan also became serious for once.

He took out the Time-Space Manual, activated it with a time flow rate of 365 times!

Xinxi joked, "So this is a serious book after all, and it can even be used for cultivation."

Yu Yue smiled lightly, her charm unpretentious yet captivating, truly making Xiao Fan linger.

These words made Xiao Fan laugh, as if this was the first time the book had been used for a proper purpose.

This time we took the sunny road; the roads we'd taken before were all a bit dark.

The three of them gathered together to create a Dharma.

Xiao Fan was in charge of experimenting and writing down the mental techniques, while Yu Yue checked for any omissions. Xin Xi, on the other hand, tried using his techniques to see how effective they were.

Xiao Fan is now in the Saint Realm, and the Dao techniques he creates can be called Saintly Techniques.

Even sacred techniques have their strengths and weaknesses, and Xiao Fan didn't know what level his technique was.

However, he tried it out and jumped out of the Eternal Immortal Realm. He could fly tens of thousands of miles away and jump to Yu Yue and Xin Xi with just a thought.

The results are acceptable.

However, only the three of them knew the hardships they had endured.

It took him a full twenty-five years to create this sacred law. It is only in its initial stages and still needs time to be perfected.

"Young master, what would be a good name for this Taoist magic?" Xinxi asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Xiao Fan hadn't decided either; he couldn't really call it fixed-point teleportation.

Yu Yue said, "Let's call it [Mind's Thought]. When the young master thinks of us, he can come to us through [Mind's Thought]."

"[Mindset]? That's quite fitting, let's go with this one," Xiao Fan said confidently.

After creating the [Mind], Xiao Fan left the [Mind] mark on the palms of Xinxi and Yuyue respectively.

After the mark was applied, Yu Yue and Xin Xi could clearly feel that Xiao Fan was in their palms.

Xiao Fan, recalling his past life, recounted his experience of raising two little girls, and was filled with emotion.

Xinxi's memory wasn't that deep. She only remembered that the young master was a very dazzling person. At that time, although she longed to stand by the young master's side, she didn't dare to make any move.

Yu Yue recalled the past, her heart filled with mixed feelings. At that time, she was very wary of Xiao Fan, feeling that everyone in the world was a bad person, and she wanted to protect her sister from this bad person.

As time passed, she also realized that Xiao Fan had only casually rescued them, extending a helping hand on a snowy night with howling winds, and helping her embark on the path of immortality.

This debt of gratitude is something I could never repay in my lifetime.

Xiao Fan had watched these two grow up from childhood, and he had a feeling of having raised them as child brides.

It's best to raise a wife from childhood.

This is why he was particularly fond of the two women.

Wait, the relationship is a bit complicated.

I raised them both, and they raised Ling'er, so what about me and Ling'er...?

There's a general feeling of confusion.

During this time, Zhao Ling'er barged in. She was getting bolder and bolder, daring to be affectionate with Xiao Fan in front of their two masters.

Being in love always makes people bold.

Xiao Fan also enjoys Zhao Ling'er's love. She is always full of energy, exuding youthful vibes, and is sweet and intoxicating.

...

...

Not long after, Miao Xiaoqing came to visit again.

This time, she was not disappointed; she met Xiao Fan.

"Master, we're about to leave. Are you really not going to be my servant?"

She spoke hastily, then, as if realizing she had misspoke, corrected herself, "I misspoke. Are you sure you don't need to pretend to be a servant?"

"Oh, so fast?"

Looking at her expectant expression, Xiao Fan said:

"I'll grant your little licking cat fantasy."

//314//

Chapter 314 Evenly Distribute the Rain and Favors, We Have to Kill Him

Miao Xiaoqing beamed with joy upon receiving the affirmation, her playful cat ears involuntarily peeking out and waving merrily.

The nine cat tails straightened instantly and swayed excitedly.

Miao Xiaoqing said with a grin:

"Master, could you call me 'Master' a couple of times? I'd like to experience what it's like to be a master."

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Are you sure?"

Miao Xiaoqing shrank her head and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'll just fantasize, Master, please feel free to do as you please."

She walked up behind Xiao Fan in a fawning manner, and her nine cat tails transformed into a cat-tail chair.

She had Xiao Fan sit on top, while she massaged his shoulders from behind like a maid.

"Master, do you think this force is enough?"

Xiao Fan was amused by her; the little licking cat even wanted to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

"Let's go, I also want to visit the Holy Academy."

"Alright, Master, I'll lead the way for you now."

Before heading to the Holy Academy, Xiao Fan took Long Ningbing with him to the Eternal Immortal City.

He also marked Long Ningbing and the kitten with [mindset] marks so they could meet easily.

In the luxurious villa of the Immortal City lived Luo Ruyan.

He's going to see him.

While absolute fairness cannot be achieved, at least everyone should be treated equally.

When Luo Ruyan saw that it was Xiao Fan coming over, she immediately got up to greet him and changed into Xiao Fan's favorite black stockings and a cool, elegant dress.

Xiao Fan also liked her appearance, so he asked her to play the zither and dance for him. The peerless beauty was wholeheartedly trying to please him, which was very captivating.

Luo Ruyan knew Xiao Fan's preferences and went to great lengths to please him, which made Xiao Fan like her even more.

"Come here," Xiao Fan waved.

Luo Ruyan stopped showing off her singing and dancing, and happily threw herself into his arms.

"My husband," Luo Ruyan said sweetly, her voice sweet and melodious.

Xiao Fan stroked the beautiful woman's delicate face; she was a natural beauty.

You'll have to play with it properly.

He placed his thoughts on Luo Ruyan's palm so he could come over later.

At the same time, he gave Luo Ruyan a Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit, enabling her to transcend tribulation and become a Taiyi Golden Immortal, thus giving her some strength.

Luo Ruyan asked curiously what kind of fruit it was, and Xiao Fan told her the truth.

Upon learning of the fruit's immense power, Luo Ruyan was overjoyed.

"Can I really have this?" Luo Ruyan found it hard to believe.

"You're my woman, would I lie to you?" Xiao Fan said.

Luo Ruyan's delicate body trembled slightly, and tears of joy welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Looking back on my life, when I was weak, I was surrounded by all sorts of dangers. After ascending, I was still weak and could only be a canary in a cage for protection.

When she first met Xiao Fan, she resigned herself to her fate, thinking that this was how it would end for her. Without strength, even the most beautiful face would ultimately be nothing more than someone else's plaything.

Besides, Xiao Fan is young and handsome, so it's not a bad deal.

Even though she had always called him "husband" before, she only felt that Xiao Fan was just looking for something new, and that she would be forgotten by him once the novelty wore off.

She had no powerful backers; losing Xiao Fan meant losing everything.

That's why Luo Ruyan tries so hard to please Xiao Fan, hoping to secure a place for herself in his heart.

If someone is willing to entrust me with something so precious, then they are definitely not just playing with me!

"My husband, thank you," Luo Ruyan said, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Xiao Fan smiled and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When love is at its peak, water flows naturally... um—when love is at its peak, tears flow naturally.

With his emotions already in place, Xiao Fan gently patted Luo Ruyan's jade-like buttocks. Without even saying a word, she understood what he meant.

Luo Ruyan restrained her composure and displayed the charm that Xiao Fan liked most. Since her husband liked this kind of thing, she would go along with it.

Give him whatever he wants.

The happy time was short-lived; Xiao Fan only stayed with her for one day.

Luo Ruyan knew that she was just Xiao Fan's mistress.

He's already showing kindness by considering my feelings; we shouldn't be too demanding.

After leaving the Immortal City Villa, Xiao Fan and Ning Bing followed behind Miao Xiao Qing like servants.

Miao Xiaoqing has a keen nose and smelled the scent of a woman's rouge on Xiao Fan.

The master has so many women.

"Little licking cat, hurry up and go."

"Oh, okay."

Miao Xiaoqing immediately led the way.

Although she stood in front, with two people following behind her like servants, it seemed as if she were the servant.

When will this cat be able to roll over?!

Forget it, I'll just dream about it.

To avoid an awkward silence, Miao Xiaoqing took the initiative to introduce the Holy Academy to Xiao Fan.

"Master, things have been quite unsettled at the Holy Academy lately."

"It caused quite a stir. To be honest, the whole thing started because I accepted a small gift."

Miao Xiaoqing meowed.

"Accepting gifts?"

Miao Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Well, didn't I become a saint?"

"I then had a little bit of power in my hands. For example, I could select people to go to the temple for training."

Xiao Fan keenly realized what Miao Xiaoqing was saying, and he said, "Is it because you received a small gift that someone is unhappy?"

Miao Xiaoqing said, "That's how it is."

"But master, look, I went through so much trouble to become this saint, how could I not accept some benefits?"

Xiao Fan shook his head; he was still a greedy cat.

Miao Xiaoqing argued, "Actually, I thought it over carefully, okay?"

"I just didn't expect things to go wrong like this."

"Looking at that list, I see that among all the celestial immortals and true immortals, there is actually an earth immortal cultivator. He stands out from the crowd."

"And she's a newbie who's only been in the business for three years and just recently broke off her engagement."

Xiao Fan was taken aback upon hearing this.

A low-level cultivator who stands out from the crowd, just starting out, and he's already breaking off his engagement?

This is packed with elements!

"What was the result?" Xiao Fan asked.

"That guy is a bit strange. After being put in solitary confinement, he actually broke through his cultivation level and escaped."

"But in the end, he still managed to get away."

Miao Xiaoqing explained the whole story to Xiao Fan in detail, afraid of making any mistakes or omissions.

Because she could sense that Xiao Fan seemed very interested in this matter.

Xiao Fan asked, "How did the Holy Academy deal with him?"

"I heard they wiped out his entire family."

Xiao Fan confirmed once again that this was the Chosen One triggering his passive ability: Death of the whole family!

So, I guess the next step is to prepare for a meteoric rise.

No, I have to kill him.

Chapter 315 A Dilemma, Choosing for You

With Xiao Fan's current strength, he can do whatever he wants.

If you're in a good mood, you can play a cat-and-mouse game with the chosen one, just for fun, and then slap them to death when you get bored.

When you're in a rush, just slap him to death.

The main theme is to do things spontaneously.

Xiao Fan didn't need to ask Qin Chen what he looked like.

From the moment Miao Xiaoqing removed Qin Chen's name, she formed a grudge against the Child of Destiny.

Following this cause and effect, he could trace Qin Chen's whereabouts.

He grabbed Miao Xiaoqing's tail, and this sudden action made Miao Xiaoqing's delicate body stiffen, and she cried out to her master not to.

"If Master desires it, I... I will give it to you at the Holy Court." She said sweetly, her eyes alluring.

Xiao Fan gently patted her head, "Little pervert."

I'm a gentleman, after all. How can I do something shameful in broad daylight?

"What are you thinking about?"

"Isn't this what I thought?" Miao Xiaoqing asked shyly.

What does your imagination suggest?

"That's...that's how it is," she whispered.

Xiao Fan realized that she had completely become a little pervert and was beyond saving.

Ignoring Miao Xiaoqing, he plucked a hair from her tail, chanted an incantation, and gently blew on it.

The once lifeless hairs instantly came to life.

It transformed into a thin, grayish-white thread, extending into the distance.

Miao Xiaoqing was amazed. Although she didn't know what it was doing, she felt it was incredibly impressive.

As the silk thread extends.

In a celestial city within the Holy Academy's territory.

Qin Chen was dressed in a black robe and wore a gray-white bamboo hat.

He slightly raised his hand to lower his straw hat, and walked with his head down, keeping a low profile.

He was afraid someone would recognize him.

"I haven't escaped the Holy Academy's territory yet, so I need to keep a low profile."

"Once I escape the Holy Temple's territory, I will be free to roam the seas and soar through the skies."

Qin Chen thought to himself.

The Holy Academy's territory was so vast that he couldn't escape for over a month, only temporarily shaking off his pursuers.

That's normal; the Holy Academy used to be the number one power in the Eternal Immortal Realm.

Although it has declined in status, its strength has not diminished. It is only the rise of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace that has shaken its position.

Therefore, the Holy Academy's territory remains the same size as before, unchanged.

Now that he is wanted by the Holy Academy, he cannot leave by taking the teleportation array. He has to travel in secret and dare not fly at full speed.

"Hey, why are there so many people gathered there?"

"I don't know, I heard it was a public execution."

"What public execution?"

"It seems that there was a traitor in the Holy Academy, and then the Holy Academy sent people to wipe out the traitor's entire family, leaving a few survivors to be publicly executed as a warning to others."

"Oh, I see."

Many people were discussing it, and these voices reached Qin Chen's ears.

His heart was pounding.

Traitors to the Holy See, publicly executed...

Could it be!

Qin Chen immediately stepped forward and hid in the crowd to observe.

He looked at the people on the execution platform; they were his own Qin family members, along with a dozen or so survivors.

One of them was his father, and the other was his cousin who had once secretly harbored feelings for him.

My cousin's graceful figure was no longer human; her pretty face was bloodied and murky, and her eyes were empty, like a walking corpse.

Qin Chen was immediately excited when he saw that there were still people alive in his clan.

But seeing their miserable state was heartbreaking.

"Father, cousin, you!"

Qin Chen had his hands pressed against his body, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged, and he was trembling with anger.

Their eyes were blank, and they looked trembling; they must have suffered a lot.

On the execution platform, the execution begins.

The disciples on the stage read out Qin Chen's crimes, which included stealing immortal herbs and emptying the medicine pavilion.

There are many other examples, such as the celestial beast sow's abnormal pregnancy and the frequent theft of female disciples' undergarments.

The male disciple inside the sect inexplicably lost his virginity, his chrysanthemum was withered, and there were wounds all over the ground.

Since there's no way to verify it anyway, let's just pin it all on him.

When these pieces of evidence were read out, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"So amazing!"

"I can understand stealing a female disciple's undergarments, but what's the meaning of the torn chrysanthemum and wounds all over the ground?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"If you don't know, you don't know. What do you mean by 'I really don't know'? You're just trying to cover it up! I, Ah Jie, suspect that you did it, hehehehe."

"Brother Jie, no!!!"

"..."

Qin Chen was furious. "Aren't you slandering me?"

Besides, if I really did steal the elixir and pills, I'd accept it.

But it was all weeds, and even dogs wouldn't eat the fasting pills and foundation-building pills.

You think you can take advantage of me?!

Qin Chen realized that the Holy Academy was using him as a scapegoat.

After the indictment was read, the disciples of the Holy Academy prepared to take action and completely annihilate them.

Qin Chen was torn: should he save her?

But this is the Holy Academy's territory. Even if we can stop them temporarily, what will happen afterward? It will definitely attract the Holy Academy's pursuit.

"I've said before that I want to keep a low profile!"

Qin Chen was struggling internally.

His gaze was fixed on the execution platform, the blade raised high, its gleaming edge about to fall.

"I will resurrect you!" Qin Chen said through gritted teeth.

I will not stand by and watch you die.

So please die slowly, wait for me to turn around and leave.

Just as he was about to leave, someone started to storm the execution ground.

Qin Chen saw the person who had come; it turned out to be the man who had a crush on his cousin back then."Jiajia, I'm here to save you."

That man was fearless and dared to even raid the Holy Academy's execution ground.

Qin Chen was stunned. This was too irrational. Weren't they afraid of death?

"How dare you storm the execution ground! Die!"

The two sides immediately began fighting.

The scene was in complete chaos. The man had come prepared and had actually brought several groups of help with him.

However, they were probably wearing masks to avoid being discovered by the Holy Temple.

Qin Chen saw this and wondered if he should take advantage of the chaos to make a move.

He was conflicted.

Just then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the Holy Academy elder squarely on the head, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death.

Qin Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then a series of lightning bolts struck, killing more than half of the Holy Academy's disciples.

"Could it be that Heaven is helping me?!"

Qin Chen felt more confident. "Even the heavens are on my side, so what reason do I have not to take action?"

"Thank God!"

Qin Chen chose to act and rushed onto the execution platform.

He was originally masked like the others, but his extraordinary strength attracted a lot of attention.

More and more people surrounded Qin Chen, knocking off his mask and exposing his identity!

"Oh no!" Qin Chen thought to himself.

And so, he was surrounded.

The man who saved Qin Chen's cousin also came over and stood close to him.

"Qin Chen, you bastard, you're going to die, but you caused such a big mess and dragged Jiajia into it."

"Now is not the time to make accusations. Let's wait until we escape," Qin Chen replied.

The man's helper was very strong and rescued the Qin family and Qin Chen's cousin.

The younger cousin called him "brother" and threw herself into Qin Chen's arms. To the man who risked his life to save her, she simply said "thank you."

"Cousin, Jiajia thought she would never see you again," Qin Chen's cousin sobbed softly.

Qin Chen also tenderly stroked his cousin's pretty face, saying various words of concern.

The two were deeply in love, their affection surpassing that of lovers.

That man was beaten into a clown. I risked my life to save you, and you just threw yourself into your cousin's arms?

I'm so disheartened!

The man was completely disheartened; he didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore.

"Qin Chen, Jiajia, you two go ahead and play."

"I hope you can be buried together, even in death you will be a pair of star-crossed lovers." Without another word, he immediately abandoned the Qin family and ran away.

This left the Qin family, including his cousin, completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, the people from the Holy Temple also gathered around.

If the minor figures leave, reducing the resistance to their encirclement, they will naturally not obstruct them.

Their target has always been Qin Chen, and now that he has appeared, they must join forces to surround him.

The members of the Holy Academy joined forces and beat Qin Chen so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

But as the chosen one, he is still a long way from defeat.

"What should I do? I can't take so many people with me."

"I can only take one person with me. Should I take my father or my cousin?"

He has a way to save his life, but he can only take one person with him.

Caught between his closest family and his lover, Qin Chen found himself in a dilemma.

Just then, a bolt of lightning struck, hitting his father squarely on the head, turning him into a charred corpse, white smoke billowing from his mouth, and his hair exploding.

He was struck by lightning and died.

Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he no longer had to struggle with making a choice.

He burst into tears, crying out "Father! Father! Father!"

"Cousin, let's run away quickly."

"good."

Qin Chen took his cousin's hand and used his life-saving methods to leave with her.

But the lightning wasn't over yet; another bolt struck and killed my cousin as well.

Only a charred corpse remained.

If you remove all the options, you'll no longer have decision-making difficulties.

Qin Chen was dumbfounded! Are you kidding me?

"Cousin, no~~"

Snow began to fall inexplicably from the sky, accompanied by howling winds and fluttering snowflakes.

Qin Chen felt that life was full of ups and downs.

One second you find hope, the next you're doused with a bucket of cold water, which chills you to the bone.

"Damn you, God! I will never forgive you!" Qin Chen roared to the sky.

Then, looking at the charred corpse in his arms, he said with tears in his eyes, "Cousin, I will bring you back to life!"

Throwing the corpses at the enemy reduces the pressure of escaping.

Qin Chen fled.

But his fate was already sealed.

"What's going on with this snow!"

Qin Chen was horrified. Ice was forming under his feet, and he couldn't pull himself away.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the frost climbed up from his feet and enveloped his entire body.

He lost consciousness, leaving behind a corpse that was then frozen in ice.

A sharp sword fell from the sky, landing straight down on the ice sculpture's head. With a crack, the ice sculpture shattered into pieces on the ground.

Truly torn to pieces.

The people of the Holy Academy were dumbfounded. They had been outwitting and outmaneuvering Qin Chen for a long time, only to have him struck dead by lightning.

They looked up at the sky, which was clear and cloudless. Why then did thunder fall?

...

...

"Master, Master?"

"What were you spacing out about? We're here," said Miao Xiaoqing, her owner seemingly lost in thought.

Xiao Fan snapped out of his daze and asked, "Have we arrived yet?"

"Saint, lead the way for me!" Xiao Fan commanded.

Calling someone "sir" is an order.

She had never had this strange feeling before. Was this what it felt like to be the master?

"Okay, meow!"
