The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

Chapter Twenty-Three: One Month

Ascend to heaven.

It is the ultimate pursuit of countless cultivators in the Great Universe.

The so-called cult leader was no exception.

When talking about ascension to immortality, one number must be mentioned.

Nine.

Nine is the extreme of Yang numbers, and after nine times nine returns to one, a new cycle begins, which also signifies the transformation and rebirth of cultivators.

The most orthodox path is to transcend the nine heavens and ascend to immortality.

However, not everyone can withstand the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, because each tribulation increases exponentially. Throughout history, nearly 80% of the tribulation-crossing cultivators in the Great Universe Continent have died under the overwhelming might of the heavens.

Some say this is the fate of those people, but the path of cultivation is inherently about fighting against the heavens and going against the will of heaven.

Thus, over countless years, those cultivators who lacked sufficient strength, unwilling to accept their fate, began to study secret techniques in an attempt to bypass the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and ascend directly.

Some people actually succeeded, but this secret technique was taken away with them when they ascended to immortality, leaving very few behind.

The leader of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Sect was almost roasted to death by the first Heavenly Tribulation several hundred years ago.

He realized then that with his abilities, he couldn't follow the orthodox path.

Therefore, he could only suppress his cultivation and pin his hopes on unorthodox methods.

Therefore, the method of ascending to immortality ahead of time was a fatal temptation for him.

Qin Yangjun believed that he would definitely be tempted.

At the same time, Qin Yangjun also knew that people from the demonic path were not trustworthy.

These people may seem normal on the surface, but they are actually full of bad intentions and will not hesitate to cheat others.

You can tell from Cheng Lieqing.

However, due to the constraints of the plan, he wasn't slapped to death.

So he had already planned that as long as he got that magical artifact, he could reveal his identity to his sister and say that he had endured humiliation and hardship in order to find out where they were hiding.

After playing a game of double agents, the protagonist eliminated one enemy, obtained the magical artifact, and made his sister happy.

My future suddenly became bright.

After being happy for a while, Qin Yangjun calmed down again.

This was merely the best outcome he had envisioned. Now the plot had deviated from its intended course, and unforeseen events might occur along the way. Furthermore, Yu Lingyue was not the only threat to Qin Yangjun.

The second protagonist who appears later is a template for a light novel: he is forced to break off his engagement, there is an old man in the ring, and his strength increases like a rocket.

Therefore, we cannot slack off; strength is the only true measure of success.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun suddenly tapped the gold-threaded fan in his hand.

I must master that skill within this month!

Just do it.

Qin Yangjun didn't go home at all, but instead sent a telepathic message to Ling'er saying that he was going into seclusion.

He turned around and went straight to the cultivation tower of the Yuqian Sect.

The cultivation tower is rich in spiritual energy and is equipped with an ancient spirit-gathering array, making cultivation inside twice as effective.

Others need contribution points to enter the cultivation tower, but Qin Yangjun doesn't.

That's the benefit of having connections.

Under the cover of night, Qin Yangjun strode into the cultivation tower.

.............

Time flies like an arrow, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Nothing major happened in Yuqianzong during this month, and everyone lived their lives in an orderly manner.

Hua Yaoyao gained new insights from Qin Yangjun's sword practice experience and developed her own swordsmanship.

Like Qin Yangjun, Yueyao went into seclusion to cultivate after returning home and has not been seen since.

With the resources provided by Qin Yangjun, Yu Lingyue successfully broke through to the peak of Qi Refining in one month, and learned all the Xuan-level cultivation techniques that Qin Yangjun gave her.

Moreover, during this month, Qin Yangjun's deeds in presiding over the competition and fighting Yueyao spread far and wide thanks to the promotion by his disciples.

It even spread to the southern regions.

Qin Yangjun thus became famous without his knowledge.

The geniuses from the other three sects also began to pay real attention to this Young Master Biyue.

I had been following Qin Yangjun because of Mu Xianxian.

The reason people are paying attention to him now is because what he has shown has truly surprised them.

In the upcoming four-domain competition, it may be a formidable opponent.

In short, the month passed peacefully.

Early in the morning, all the new students were gathered in the main hall where they had entered the sect. Today would be their first time going out on a mission.

Yu Lingyue, Li Xuanyang, and Cheng Lieqing were among them.

This time, Qin Yangjun was not late; he arrived here early.

He had only just emerged from seclusion. During his previous battle with Yu Yueyao, he had inadvertently discovered the cultivation method for that technique.

It requires constantly clearing one's spiritual energy, breaking through one's limits, and repeatedly refining one's Qi Sea. That feeling is truly unbearable, and Qin Yangjun suffered a lot in the past month.

However, he also fulfilled his own requirements, and that achievement was finally made slightly successful. Furthermore, his cultivation level broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, he dared not use that skill casually.

Firstly, it's because he's too weak. With his spiritual power, he can only last three to five seconds at most. After that, his spiritual power will be exhausted, and he'll have to wait to die.

Secondly, the technique was truly exaggerated, even if those people didn't recognize it.

After witnessing its power, they will likely develop a desire to possess it.

He understood the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime.

Although her older sister was considered the pinnacle of Da Yu Zhou, there were several others who were about as strong as her, and some were even slightly stronger.

Humans are greedy. If those people covet the cultivation technique and attack together, even Mu Xianxian might not be able to protect herself. In that case, this great villain might perish halfway before she even grows up.

All I can say is that he now has a trump card.

It should only be used when there is no one else available, or as a last resort.

Just then, a red figure flashed past Qin Yangjun, and with a gust of fragrant wind, Qin Yangjun came back to his senses.

He looked up and saw Hua Yaoyao, who was smiling at him.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

This new student trial will not only be led by Qin Yangjun, but another disciple will also be accompanying them. According to the plot, the one who comes is indeed a disciple from the Third Elder's lineage, but it is not Hua Yaoyao.

However, since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it; there's no need to dwell on what's already happened.

"No, I was just spacing out for a moment. But junior sister, your cultivation seems to have improved quite a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yaoyao blushed slightly. In order to join the freshman trial, she had pleaded and begged for a long time and even agreed to many harsh conditions from her master.

However, after seeing Qin Yangjun again, she felt that all her previous efforts were worthwhile.

"As for what my senior brother said, it was all thanks to the guidance of Master and my senior brother."

"As for your junior sister, it's all thanks to your own hard work."

"......"

The two chatted idly, one sentence after another, unaware that the disciples below had all noticed them.

Some people even started chatting.

The words "golden boy and jade girl" were also faintly heard.

Hearing these words, Yu Lingyue, standing in the crowd, felt a pang of discomfort...

Chapter Twenty-Four: This Dream Was So Real

Yu Lingyue knew perfectly well that the two were just having a normal chat, but she couldn't help but think in that direction for some reason.

He used to say he liked me... but now he's laughing and talking with another woman.

While glaring at her resentfully, Yu Lingyue tore at the corner of her clothes.

Qian Xiaoyu looked at Yu Lingyue, who was standing to the side, with some surprise. She had known Yu Lingyue for so long and she had always been calm and composed. This was the first time she had seen her like this.

However, following Yu Lingyue's gaze, she instantly understood what was going on.

She gave a meaningful smile.

This girl has actually developed feelings for someone; I used to think she was gay...

The melancholy aura emanating from this place also caught Qin Yangjun's attention, perhaps because the protagonist is naturally the nemesis of the villain.

Qin Yangjun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

What's going on? Why is she looking at me like that? What did I do to offend her?

Qin Yangjun was completely baffled.

And so, in this delicate atmosphere, the group boarded the celestial ship.

The ancient ruins we visited this time were quite far from the Yuqian Sect; the flying boat would take about a day and a night to fly there.

All day long, Hua Yaoyao stayed by Qin Yangjun's side, her joy almost overflowing. Even a fool could see her feelings, but Qin Yangjun was really uncomfortable with it.

He was naturally very happy that Hua Yaoyao was close to him.

But she was a little too enthusiastic.
