Yin-Yang Fusion was also a Great Dao; it only depended on how cultivators chose to pursue it.

Mutual complement was righteous; harming others for one's own gain was evil.

Although Li Yuanyuan's path was somewhat improper, it could not be called evil when both parties were willing.

But no matter what, her path had indeed grown narrow. Cultivating like this might give her a high lower limit, but its upper limit was far inferior to persevering step by step with her feet planted firmly on the ground—especially with the chat group's abundant resources and the support of two top-tier cultivation arts.

She should have had a brighter future, rather than wallowing in this shameful present.

It had to be said that Chen Yi's urge to persuade someone to turn over a new leaf was acting up again.

But after pondering for a moment, he let out a faint sigh.

Alas, let her be. This was the road she had chosen herself. Before reaching its end, there was no turning back!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Li Yuanyuan, you passed. However, the "Great Evolution Heaven Swallowing Art" is far too fierce and domineering, making it unsuitable for the path of Yin-Yang Fusion. Use this instead.

The Group Leader shared the file "Flower Grafting Inner Canon" and designated group member 'I Don't Eat Cilantro' as eligible to download it.

Inside a pink room steeped in amorous atmosphere, Li Yuanyuan—her skin as smooth as congealed cream and her beauty bewitching beyond compare—suddenly sat up. Her watery eyes brimmed with complicated emotions.

She had thought that using two upright and honorable cultivation arts on such a shameful path would displease the Group Leader, and she had even prepared herself to be scolded. Yet he had not mentioned it at all. Not only did he show no trace of contempt for her, he even seemed concerned for her and bestowed upon her a cultivation art more suited to her path?

Great Group Leader, you...

Ever since crossing into this world, Li Yuanyuan had been unable to control her own fate. She could only swallow her grievances and compromise, enduring humiliation while still greeting others with a smile. Tears could not help but flow from her eyes.

If she had not been forced into it, why would she ever have willingly fallen so low?

She had no choice. She could no longer turn back. She had stayed in the dark corner for too long and had grown used to its coldness and dampness. The long-lost sunlight would instead burn her. She could not go back. Those beautiful days of the past could not return!

Great Group Leader, was it because you understood me that you chose to support me by passing down this cultivation art, rather than trying to save me by persuading me to turn over a new leaf?

Sob, sob, sob...

Li Yuanyuan broke into loud, heart-wrenching sobs, as though she wanted to vent all the grievances buried deep within her heart.

On the other side, seeing that she had not downloaded the cultivation art for a long while, Chen Yi shook his head and shifted the group's attention away from her, tagging the last two members.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: @God of Light is Unemployed @Villain Self-Redemption In Progress, only you two are left. Who's going first?

Villain Self-Redemption In Progress (Zhao Gao): Senior, how about you go first?

Villain Self-Redemption In Progress: Senior?

Villain Self-Redemption In Progress: ...

Villain Self-Redemption In Progress: Reporting to the Group Leader, my name is Zhao Gao. I'm a collateral descendant of a great clan. Our Young Clan Leader, whose evil deeds are too numerous to count, stole someone else's childhood sweetheart and fiancée, then sent me to cut the grass and pull out the roots by killing that unlucky man named Lin Hao. But after investigating, I discovered that this young man named Lin Hao was anything but simple!

No matter how I laid ambushes or launched sneak attacks, he escaped death every single time. He even repeatedly encountered fortuitous opportunities while fleeing for his life, his cultivation soaring as he went, before he turned the tables and killed the thugs I had brought with me!

At the critical moment, I triggered a help request mission. But even the former Group Master, Mu Chen, could not do anything to him after arriving. If nothing unexpected happens, this Lin Hao is the Destined Protagonist of this world, while I'm just a villain's dog-legged cannon fodder!

This discovery terrified me. I wanted the clan to send experts to eliminate him, but that stupid Young Clan Leader was too brainless. Instead, he thought I was trash, incapable of killing even a little bug. He even told me to get lost and forbade me from returning until I caught Lin Hao. I really **** that brain-dead idiot!

I had no choice. My family was unreliable, and the protagonist had marked me for death, determined to get rid of me. Although my cultivation realm is higher than his, I simply can't beat him. I've been chased until I'm scrambling up and down, and help request missions get triggered at the drop of a hat. That damned former Group Master Mu Chen had a blast farming points, but I'm about to be finished!

Fortunately, just when I was at my most desperate, you pulled me from the darkness like a ray of light. What kind of bullshit Destined Protagonist? Before your 1.8 billion Combat Power, he's nothing more than a clay chicken and porcelain dog! So long as you give the word, I'll go take down the protagonist right now!

One more thing: driving the protagonist back rewards two million points. I can trigger this help request mission twice a day, while killing him rewards one billion points. Whether we go for sustainable development or reap one huge harvest is up to you. I'll obey all arrangements!

Lastly, here is my Combat Power growth data for the past half month. Fifteen days ago, I had 800,000 Combat Power. Now I have 820,000. I've only comprehended the two cultivation arts to the second level as well. My aptitude is a bit poor. Sorry.

"Tut, tut, tut. Driving him back only gives two million points, but killing him rewards one billion. Interesting..."

Chen Yi's gaze deepened.

With his many years of experience dealing with the Heavenly Dao, it was not hard for him to guess that the Destined Protagonist Lin Hao Zhao Gao spoke of was, in all likelihood, a Chosen One carefully nurtured by that world's Heavenly Dao—someone meant to suppress the foundational laws of heaven and earth, or perhaps lead the world into ascension!

Thus, driving him back was no big deal. So long as he was not killed, every setback would only make him stronger. Everything was tempering!

Therefore, when Heaven was about to confer a great responsibility upon a man, it would first torment his will, exhaust his sinews and bones, starve his flesh, impoverish his body, and frustrate and confound all his endeavors, thereby stirring his heart, toughening his nature, and increasing what he could not yet do!

But if they wanted to kill him, that would mean opposing the Heavenly Dao. Once Lin Hao truly encountered mortal danger, the Heavenly Dao would inevitably step in to settle the score!

It was the same principle as when Chen Yi had stripped the Great Zhou Dynasty of its dragon sinews of national fortune, shaking the foundation that suppressed the laws of heaven and earth. The local Heavenly Dao had descended in fury, determined to kill him at all costs.

Facing the power of an entire world alone, resisting the Heavenly Dao's retaliatory force head-on, and accomplishing the objective—one billion points as the mission reward was perfectly normal.

However, compared to a one-time reward of one billion points, Chen Yi preferred the sustainable two million points that could be farmed repeatedly.

Twice a day, two million each time—he would harvest one billion points in only 250 days. Everything afterward would be pure profit. Even a fool knew which option to choose!

It was a little more troublesome, but the advantage was that Chen Yi would not need to act personally.

After all, Fang Zheng, with more than three million Combat Power, was no longer a rookie. Moreover, the chat group's Combat Power panel only measured the members' personal strength; it did not include the enhancement from magical treasures and weapons!

With the Star Suppressing Seal Chen Yi had bestowed upon him, Fang Zheng would not fear even experts with ten million Combat Power. If he did not put such a capable group member to work, would not his early investment have been wasted?

Let Fang Zheng take the missions while he, the Group Leader, sat back and waited for his 50% cut to roll in. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!

Thinking this, Chen Yi immediately gave his reply.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Zhao Gao, although you failed this assessment, considering the complexity of your circumstances, your punishment will be waived. Make your preparations. Uphold the principle of sustainable development. Specific arrangements will be made after the assessment ends. Await notification. Next.

However, two and a half minutes passed, and An Lan, who had been called out, still did not respond. Who knew what he was doing.

Chen Yi frowned and spoke again.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: @God of Light is Unemployed, what? Is your cultivation progress so poor that you don't dare come out and face me? Speak!

Another two and a half breaths passed before An Lan finally replied in a frantic rush.

God of Light is Unemployed (Adolf Anlan): Sorry, sorry, I just finished. I am guilty. I'll reflect on my actions...
