The Trial Tower lit up Myriad Mountains’ night in golden hues. Masses of cultivators were gathered at its foot.

 

“What’s inside, I wonder?”

 

“I can’t wait to enter.”

 

“Will I become Senior’s disciple after finishing the trials?”

 

The tower’s large doors remained sealed shut.

 

Before the disciple contest began, no one was allowed to enter.

 

Chen Changan stood on his usual spot on Soaring Immortal Mountain, gazing in the distance and sensing all the lives within the Absolute Domain.

 

“So many cultivators. It’d be a waste of the new trait not to kill them at least once.” Chen Changan smirked and snapped his fingers.

 

Each and every cultivator in Absolute Domain felt death looming over their shoulders. Their eyes went black, and they collapsed. Thousands upon thousands of lives, weak or strong, died in that very instant.

 

Chen Changan’s mind rang with the constant system messages.

 

He reaped his field, earning over 23.12 million points.

 

The harvest was most welcome and rich. Chen Changan was amazed.

 

He then used the Ruler of Life and Death to breathe life back into all the corpses he left behind.

 

The cultivators were stumped, unable to make sense of what just happened—of the blank spot in their memories.

 

“A shame I can only harvest them once.”

 

Chen Changan made sure none was the wiser of his little slaughter and revival act.

 

And since he reaped, he ought to compensate, no?

 

Chen Changan used creation en masse, and a light rain fell everywhere in the Absolute Domain’s boundary, strengthening and recovering the cultivators’ energy reserves.

 

It didn’t stop there, improving their talents as well.

 

All cultivators felt the change, overcome by shock.

 

“What’s going on here?”

 

“My strength grows in the rain! My body is tougher!”

 

“I feel it too!”

 

Chen Changan’s voice echoed throughout his Domain. “The rain shall recover your strength and improve your talent as compensation.”

 

“Compensation?” They were clueless about what he meant.

 

Chen Changan kept silent. [It’s not like I’m going to shout that I just killed and revived you.

 

The people were thrilled. They could feel their talent increasing!

 

The joy overrode their curiosity. [Who the hell cares what he meant? I’m not missing anything on me anyway.]

 

[Senior’s skills are divine. A simple rain can raise our talents! It’s godlike and supreme!]

 

The cultivators that repelled the drizzle stopped the minute they heard Chen Changan.

 

The soak brought with it incredible changes. All within Absolute Domain grew in strength and quality then and there.

 

The increased strength brought with it endless devotion, respect, and admiration…

 

Chen Changan spent 20 million Domain Points to expand the Absolute Domain, encompassing another tenth of the Myriad Mountains.

 

“Soon I’ll cover all of Myriad Mountains.”

 

…

 

In the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain, an Immortal Gate swung open, and three people walked out.

 

The surroundings were untouched by humans—the great outdoors.

 

Ling Bao’er gave the area a curious look. “So this is the Immortal Domain. Why is the Immortal Energy so thin here?”

 

Mei Niang smiled. “Senior’s abode is a top Immortal Land, beyond what even the top immortal clan possesses. Not all of an Immortal Domain is an Immortal Land. It does not have the same rich Immortal Energy as on Myriad Mountains.”

 

“Oh.” Ling Bao’er exclaimed, “Master is just amazing. That means Myriad Mountains is better than Immortal Domains.”

 

Wu Ming spoke with reverence, “Young Miss is correct. Lord is unfathomable. I was in shock to discover such a lush and large Immortal Land present in the poor Lower Realm. I am certain there is no place out there in the endless Immortal Domains that can contend with Lord’s domain.”

 

Mei Niang was in full agreement. She never heard of such an Immortal Land even existing anywhere, let alone one so large.

 

It was beyond shocking, overwhelming, and impossible to believe. But Chen Changan’s existence made her feel it was only natural.

 

Only Chen Changan had the right to have such a paradise.

 

The Huangfu Clan’s Immortal Lands could never come close to what Senior had.

 

“Where do we go now?” Ling Bao’er asked.

 

Mei Niang said, “We’ll stop by Huangfu Clan to jump domains through their teleportation array. That will get you to the Sumeru Immortal Domain.

 

Wu Ming gasped, “Huangfu Clan must have quite the status on Black Tortoise Immortal Domain to have a teleportation array. Then we’ll follow your lead and go to Huangfu Clan.”

 

Mei Niang nodded and took out an immortal talisman to break it.

 

Desolate Immortal City, the town of Huangfu Clan.

 

Immortal lights shot into the sky, spreading their mighty aura everywhere.

 

The immortals in the city cried out.

 

“Huangfu Clan’s Celestial Immortals are coming out!”

 

“That’s five Immortal Emperors! What happened?”

 

“I heard rumors that they’re doing this because of Dao Rhythm items.”

 

“Sending Immortal Emperors over some Dao Rhythm item?”

 

“Humph, what do you know? Some say Huangfu Clan found itself a patron, a Dao Saint. That’s no normal Dao Rhythm item. A friend of mine in the Huangfu Clan said the last time they came back with a high Dao Rhythm item.”

 

The cultivators around cried out.

 

“A top Dao Rhythm item?”

 

“Is the Huangfu Clan training another Celestial Immortal Stage expert?”

 

“Ha-ha, they’re going out in force because there might be even more high Dao Rhythm items this time around. Huangfu Clan won’t just get one new Celestial Immortal, but many more. This is too serious a matter to leave it to anyone but Immortal Emperors.”

 

“Holy hell! Several high Dao Rhythm items? Maybe it’s just dumb luck?”

 

“With a couple more Immortal Emperors, they’ll overtake Jiang Clan, becoming the top clan in the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain.”

 

“I refuse to believe it!”

 

“…”

 

The five Immortal Emperors had ten Immortal Lords accompanying them. The show of force showed how serious this was for them.

 

Moreover, Mei Niang used a top immortal talisman this time around.

 

It was a signal to tell them she had priceless objects on her that required extreme protection.

 

As a result, the Huangfu Clan gave their all for the job.

 

Mei Niang, Ling Bao’er, and Wu Ming waited in the same spot.

 

The ten top, not high, Dao Rhythm items in their storage rings triggered a Dao phenomenon.

 

Wu Ming winced, “Mei Niang, how long until Huangfu Clan arrives? The Dao Rhythm items resonate with the domain’s Dao. Other immortals are sure to pick up on the change!”
