The Right Path Is to Work Hard at Cultivation!

Bai Yu was a little puzzled. What was going on with Prince Changqin? Why was there nothing at all in his Mall?!

It was easy to understand why Li Hanyi hadn't uploaded any goods. After all, she didn't have anything.

But Changqin was a Daluo Golden Immortal now. Even if he'd gotten a boost from the Lihuo Bead, that didn't mean he had to leave every single item unlisted, did it?

Had he completely given up and decided to lie flat?

Surely not?

Before, Changqin had just been an utterly ordinary musician in the Heavenly Court, with a cultivation level of only a Golden Immortal. It was understandable that he didn't have any top-tier cultivation techniques or resources.

But now, Changqin was a Daluo Golden Immortal. In the Ancient Sword World, he might not be the strongest in the Three Realms, but he was still among the very top.

Had this guy stayed at Mount Yao the whole time without ever going out?

Otherwise, even if he'd stolen! Robbed! Or begged for things! There was no way he could have absolutely nothing!

Bai Yu's spree of buying up everything and emptying the Mall had also given everyone in the group a huge shock!

[Call Me Group Owner]: (ΩДΩ) Good heavens! The Immortal Venerable big shot emptied my Mall?!!! (happy.jpg)

[Judicial God]: Thank you, Immortal Venerable!!! The Immortal Venerable is mighty!!!!!!

[Demon Realm Supreme]: Thank you, Immortal Venerable!!! The Immortal Venerable is domineering!!!!!!

[Xiongba]: The Immortal Venerable is mighty and domineering!!!

[Prince Changqin]: Immortal Venerable... I'm so aggrieved... I really want to cry... o(╥﹏╥)o

Yang Jian and Chonglou, who had gained the most, were completely dumbfounded. Then came excitement-boundless excitement-and exhilaration-boundless exhilaration!

If they hadn't had some dignity to maintain, they probably would have jumped up and started dancing.

As for Changqin, he was the most frustrated of all. He really wanted to cry.

In the end, he'd missed out on this enormous windfall.

Aside from Li Hanyi and Changqin, who hadn't uploaded any goods, and Mei Changsu, who had been unreachable the whole time, the other group members were naturally overjoyed. They could be said to have reaped a bountiful harvest.

Yang Jian and Chonglou in particular, looking at the huge pile of Saint Spirit Stones they'd received, couldn't help laughing aloud, their faces wreathed in smiles.

Sword of the Immortal World.

The Demon Realm, the Supreme Hall.

The demon generals and attendants looked at their Demon Venerable, who was laughing aloud, and were at a loss. Could their Demon Venerable have gone wrong in his cultivation and developed some kind of mental problem?

Their Demon Venerable was usually solemn and imposing, never smiling. Now, not only was he laughing aloud, that originally stern face of his was grinning like a chrysanthemum.

No matter how they looked at it, it was strange.

An eerie atmosphere spread through the hall. The demon generals and attendants lowered their heads, daring not to let their thoughts wander any further. They deeply revered and feared the Demon Venerable.

Chonglou seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall, and glanced at his subordinates, whose heads were bowed low.

"Ahem. Did you all understand what I just said?"

Chonglou composed his expression and looked solemn, dignified, and imposing.

"Yes, Demon Venerable. This subordinate understands."

"Mm. Since you all understand, you may leave."

Chonglou decided he couldn't lose his composure in front of his subordinates again.

It wouldn't affect their loyalty, but Chonglou still felt he had to maintain his image.

Keeping an eye on the Chat Group, he took out a warm Saint Spirit Stone, refined it, and began to comprehend the Origin Law of space.

"The feeling of becoming stronger is truly wonderful!"

Chonglou enjoyed comprehending the Space Origin Law at a speed that had once been completely beyond his reach.

"The Saint Spirit Stone truly lives up to its name as an Enlightenment Supreme Treasure. Praise the Immortal Venerable!"

As someone who revered power, Chonglou naturally held Bai Yu in the highest regard. At the same time, he also took Bai Yu as his goal, hoping that one day he could fight Bai Yu.

Though that goal was far beyond his reach, and he could only watch Bai Yu's back recede farther and farther into the distance, dreams, even unrealistic ones, could still serve as powerful motivation to move forward.

Chonglou was naturally a stubbornly determined person. Perhaps that was a good thing, too.

If Bai Yu knew what Chonglou was thinking, he would encourage and support him. That was more like it. Working hard at cultivation was the right path. Love and romance were nothing more than scenery along the road to the summit.

They might be beautiful, but there were countless such beautiful sights, and the closer one got to the summit, the more beautiful the scenery became.

So before reaching the summit, it was best not to stop walking for the beautiful sights right in front of you.

In the original timeline, Chonglou had only ever been enamored with Zi Xuan. Though he couldn't win his beloved's heart, he was still willing to silently protect her.

This could be said to show Chonglou's extraordinary bearing and his tender, gentle side, but it didn't change the fact that he was a simp.

A tragic romance was never suited to the proud, cold, and aloof Chonglou.

Shouldn't the one Chonglou protected have been Fei Peng?

Chonglou and Fei Peng were the ones who loved and fought each other, while cherishing one another.

Lotus Lantern World.

The Heavenly Court, the Heavenly God Hall.

Like Chonglou, Yang Jian was laughing aloud, his face wreathed in smiles.

The Meishan Brothers on either side of him exchanged glances, watching their Second Master with concern.

It was over. Second Master had developed a mental problem.

It seemed the pressure on Second Master had been too great!

Or perhaps he missed his younger sister, the Third Holy Mother, too much?

"Second Master..."

Kang Laoda hesitated, watching Yang Jian with concern.

"Ahem... It's nothing. I just thought of something happy."

Yang Jian coughed, calming his excitement, and his expression settled.

"By the way, brothers, I plan to retrieve the Mountain Splitting Axe, then split Mount Hua open and save my younger sister, Yang Chan."

Seeing that the atmosphere had grown a little heavy, Yang Jian changed the subject.

Although Yang Chan had been placed beneath Mount Hua by Yang Jian, the Queen Mother had used some tricks. Yang Jian couldn't break through the Queen Mother's methods, so he could only split Mount Hua open and use brute force.

Why had the Third Holy Mother been placed beneath Mount Hua?

It was mainly because she'd fallen in love with a mortal and violated the Heavenly Rules. To protect her and spare her the Heavenly Court's harsher punishment, Yang Jian had placed her beneath Mount Hua.

Besides, Mount Hua was originally the Third Holy Mother's shrine, so this was really not much different from being confined at home.

Yang Jian truly couldn't understand why his younger sister had taken a liking to Liu Yanchang, that selfish, cowardly, and useless mortal.

Was she blind?

That's right, Yang Jian had never liked Liu Yanchang. If his younger sister hadn't begged him over and over, he would have killed the man long ago.

Although Yang Jian occasionally went to visit his nephew, he never met Liu Yanchang. He was afraid that seeing Liu Yanchang would make anger rise in his heart and cause him to kill the man.

As for Chen Xiang, his nephew, Yang Jian had been somewhat conflicted and troubled at first.

On the one hand, he was his younger sister's own flesh and blood, so he was bound to love him by association.

On the other hand, because of that disgusting piece of work, Liu Yanchang, he also hated him by association.

So at first, Yang Jian really had mixed feelings of love and hate toward his nephew.

But after visiting him many times, and seeing how mischievous and lovable his little nephew was-and how he had inherited his younger sister's looks, with his fair, clean appearance and adorable face-Yang Jian gradually accepted him and grew ever more fond of him.

Originally, he had planned to let those father and son live peacefully and simply in the village, until they grew old and died.

Perhaps once both father and son had passed away, his younger sister would be able to let go, too.

After all, mortals lived for only a little over a hundred years. To Yang Jian and Yang Chan, that truly was no more than the blink of an eye.
